 Dragon Fly » The lyrics [+ Add +] |
1. _ All Fly Away
Moonrise above the rio grande
On this fantasy of sand
As i drift into a dream
And i feel the comet scream
Three birds watching from a rock
And i swear the third one talked
Rise up through the fog and we can
All fly away
All fly away
Let's leave today
And we can climb through time tomorrow.
Space city like a jewel on wings
Rocket ships like bees they sting
Planets of fantastic sight
Floating up in pastel light
Twisted trees in martian breeze
Catch that horse don't let him freeze
Won't you come along and we can all fly away
All fly away, let's leave today
And we can climb through time tomorrow.
We rode a bubble through the sun
We all knew it could be done
There were men with fiery wings
And a million burning things
Silver statues on the run
Bleeding there since kingdom come
Won't you pick them up and we can all fly away
All fly away, let's leave today
And we can climb through time tomorrow
Dragon fly away.

2. _ Be Young You
The tongues of some men are made of metal
The tongues of some men are made of oil
But the keeper of those men never rolled
Their tongues for anybody's free ride but his own
Now the oily tongues are thirsty for black gold.
But the old men are going to bed
They'll be sleeping through the future
And the children red with fire
They got to move away the old man's rusty beds.
Now the tongue, the tongue of a master
That should be laughter - with dancing legs
Like a flying wheel for the weak and sad man
Some tongues of man are made of silence
And your eyes will listen.

3. _ Devil's Den
There is no color in the king
And he is softer than the queen
Confusion reigns, sometimes it reigns.
Now a colored sky never makes anybody cry
But a grey cloud always makes it rain, sometimes it rains.
He only has the moves of a knight
But he wants the absolute freedom of a queen
Too bad the only money he's got is coming in
Colored american green.
You know it's worthless paper you can spend or save
Go ahead and count that by yourself but look out
Somebody's looking
You're supposed to do that by yourself - count it
He says he's not doing anything wrong he thinks
He's just another part of the royal story
But does it always have to start that way
Always ending someday
With no man's warning.
Don't talk back, some ruler says, or everything
You need will go away
Every answer you think you've ever said is just a guess
And the king of clocks just slowly locks up every day.
Clocks strikes damn near perfect at night
But it moves so slow in the morning light
King says a crown doesn't make the man
But we all know, yes we all know, he thinks he's born to glory.
Until he dies by the devine right of kings
No one down here wants to give that man any golden wings
And man must fly, man must fly
Is that grey man sane
No color, no name.

4. _ Hyperdrive
I never thought there were corners in time
Till i was told to stand in one
One straight line head on into the other
Maybe standing in the corner looks like where it's got to come.
But i pretend one wall is the past and one is the future
And i just stand here like the present looking for a
Good place to run
Every fish that swims upstream now that's a catch
Because the full mouth never wants to stop cooking.
The map may be flat, the globe may be patched
But the long line keeps right on hooking
Circles in the ring of fire, where do you go
On a night that is clear and warm?
Oh where do you go?
I never thought there were corners in time
Till i was told to stand in one
I've heard circles moving right through corners
And they don't even know they've been around and around before
Ringing, ringing against each other on a singing chain
Like a flying magnet hyperdrive has never seen any reason
To remain the same.
Because i felt it i believe it
Because there are things i've never seen that i believe
So i'm going to place my face right in the triangle door
Till i can move right on through instead of just standing here
Looking at the floor.
And it rains again tonight, i can think light years ahead
Or i could put myself back a thousand years ago
As if i'd always been here before or as if i am still to be born
I'm a slow loser, but i'm a fast learner
That much i know
Anyone can go
That much i know
Anyone can go
That much i know
Anyone can go.

5. _ Come To Life
Everything, everything has come to life again
I have no doubts but the ice got thin
What came too soon was so hard to keep
So full a harvest it was hard to reap
There were times seemed just like the walls would crumble
Shoot from the hip and pray for trouble
Stone-cold sober and a-seeing double
How that midnight band could ramble
Taking mansions and leaving shambles
Remember other times and places
Last night's dance, the glowing faces
All the lights, the shadows in the hall
Seeking higher peaks from which to fall
Remember, we were telling you
That time would stop and nations fall
Now we find the lies come true
Can you tell me, tell me, tell me
What are we to do?
Because the good old days
Those good old days are all dead and gone
Good-bye and bless them all, every one
What was true has passed the test
Just as well forget the rest
Half of what you saw was not yours to know
Let it go.
Everything has come to life again

6. _ Ride The Tiger
I want to ride the tiger
I want to ride the tiger
It will be black and white in the dead of night
Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight
I want to ride the tiger.
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
Tell you about salt, carbon and water
But a tear to a chinese man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and
A woman.
I want to ride the tiger
I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you
We got something to learn from the other side
Something to give, we got nothing to hide
I want to ride the tiger.
Black wants out of the streets
Yellow wants the country
Red wants the country back
And white wants out of this world
Sing - sing to the sky
I want to ride the tiger
I want to ride the tiger.
Look to the summer of seventy-five
All the world is gonna come alive
Do you want to ride the tiger?
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
Tell you about salt, carbon and water
But a tear to an oriental man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and
A woman.

7. _ Caroline
Oh what can i tell you now, caroline
Should i hurt your feelings or keep on lyin'?
One thing leads to another and another
And another and another besides
You always know whenever i wanna make love
And you always know all the changes i'm going through
Just as if you can read my mind
Caroline, you know everything i do
There just ain't no words to describe
How i feel inside for you.
Yet somewhere out there
Waitin' on a wonder
You'll lend wings to my words
Somewhere when the band is gone
And the music of my song
Is just right for lovers.
You're what i want more than anything else
I love you - yes i do - but i know when i'm all by myself
Nothin' is real but my feelings and desires for you
And everything looks like some sort of scenery
Stored in an empty theatre
With stars on the ground - fences in the sky
And tears in the curtain of time
Oh what can i tell you, my caroline.
Except yet somewhere out there
Waitin' on a wonder
You'll lend wings to my words
Somewhere when the band is gone
And the music of my song
Is just right for lovers.
Caroline, your lovin' keeps me rollin'
Rollin' all the time, rollin' all the time
Baby - somewhere out there
You really roll me
Roll me away
Baby - somewhere out there
You roll me, roll me away.
And when the melody makes me surrender
Dark eyed girl, i always remember
That you love me somewhere out there
You really love me in time to the music
How you love me wildly in my heart
Girl, you love me
You roll me away.
You always fill my heart with wonder
You always fill my soul with love
You always fill my lips with kisses
You always fill my eyes with tears.
It's like a wind from the other side of the world
Like a far off pack of hounds
Sounds like a whole universe - throbbin' with life
I get so hypnotized in the lights
Just like the gaze of a mantis
Why even atlantis sank beneath
The waves in a day and a night
Oh, in a day and a night i could write
You a symphony
It would be just like a bird
And carry my love over the mountains.
Cause somewhere out there
Waitin' on a wonder
You'll lend wings to my words
Somewhere when the band is gone
And the music of my song
Is just right for lovers.
You always fill my heart with wonder
You always fill my soul with love
You always fill my lips with kisses
You always fill my eyes with tears.
Cry caroline.

8. _ That's For Sure
Think of the times you have sat by yourself
And wondered
Just what it was that compelled you to be
What you are
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
That's how you came and for sure that's how you go out.
High on a hill you can feel the breeze
And rest easy
All things that live have a right to exist
And be free.
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
That's how you came and for sure that's how you'll go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out.
Is there a chance you have taken these steps
So not losing
Losing all that you have, don't you know what you have is not
Real
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
That's how you came and for sure that's how you go out
Yeah that's for sure
That's how you go out
That's how you go out
That's how you go out
That's how you go out.
