Cage of freedom
That's our prison
Where the jailer and captive combine
Cage of freedom
Cast in power
All the trappings of our own design
Blind ambition
Steals our reason
We're soon behind those invisible bars
On the inside
Looking outside
To make it safer we double the guard
Cage of freedom
There's no escaping
We fabricated a world of our own....

Cage of freedom, growing smaller
'Til every wall now touches the skin
Cage of freedom, filled with treason
Changing sides as the losses begin
Our suspicion tries escaping
But they step up the security
There's no exit, there's no entrance
Remember how we swallowed the key?
Cage of freedom, that's our prison
We fabricated this world on our own....

Big brother
Is there a bigger one watching you
Or is there one smaller
Who I should be watching too
Infinite circles of
Snakes eating their own tails
For every one chasing
Another is on the trail
Is that a friend
Can you tell, is he on your side?
'Cause I spy with my little eye
Yet another spy... (fadeout)

* Lyrics by: Giorgio Moroder; Pete Belotte

She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness
in and stirs it with a spoon,
She watches for my moods
and never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say
to make me feel so good inside
And when I'm all alone
I feel I don't want to hide
Today she bought me in and
told me where she'd been
She put my mind at rest
and put the sweetness in
I'll ask her for some time to go and look around
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say
to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone
I really don't feel that way.
Tell me how would you feel
with no world of your own
And nobody to hold, I just can't see the way
I'm so glad it's today
and you're here, you're here.
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness in and
stirs it with a spoon,
She watches for ALL my moods
never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say
to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone
I really don’t feel that way
Oh how I need her so,
I know she’ll never ever go
Do do do do do do
She’ll never leave me, believe me - no
Do do do do do do She’ll never go, no no
No no no no no no no no no - no!

Could be
Who knows?
There something due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows

It may come cannon-ballin* down from the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose
Who knows?

It*s only just out of reach
Down a block, on the beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there*s a miracle due
Gotta come through
Coming to me

Could it be
Yes it could
Something*s coming
Something good
If I can wait

Something*s coming
I don*t know what it is
But it is
Going to be great

With a click
With a shock
Bell will jingle
Door will knock
Open the latch

Something*s coming
I don*t know what it is
But it is
Going to be great

Around the corner
A-whistlin* down the river
Come on deliver
To me
To me

Could be
Who knows?
There something due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows

It may come cannon-ballin* down from the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose
Who knows?

It*s only just out of reach
Down a block, on the beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there*s a miracle due
Gotta come through
Coming to me
To me

Tonight, Tonight
Won*t be just any night
Tonight there will be no morning star.

Tonight.

Thou art mother, thou art father,
thou art friend and companion
Thou art knowledge and wealth,
thou art all in all
Lead us from the unreal to the real
Lead us form ignorance to light
lead us from death to immortality
Manifest through and through
Protect us with your sweet benign presence
We offer this meditation,
body, mind
and spirit
Past, present and future to be
for thou art all in all

Ahhhhh Ahhhhh Ahhhh
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo
Di di dit
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo
Di di di di

Sparkling trees of Silver foam
Cast shadows soft in winter's home
Swaying branches breaking sound
Lonely forest trembling ground.

Masquerading leaves of blue
Run circles round the morning dew
Patterns understood by you
Beyond and before

Time like gold dust springs mine down
To levels hidden underground
Say a few words to the wind
That's all that's left of winters friend.

Reaching the snow
In the days of the cold
Casting a Spell out of Ice
Now that your gone
The summe'rs too long
And it seems like the end of my life
Reaching out beyond and before

Time like gold dust springs mine down
Time like gold dust springs mine down

I see you la la la la la la la la la la la la I see you
I see you la la la la la la la la la la la la I see you
I see you la la la la la la la la la la la la I see you
Sun smiling through the cave of your hair
Wind washing tulips out of space sitting there
I love you
At your door second floor first world war
I love you
Who listens
Tell your friend I'm aware that she care
Who listens
Green specks bright spiraling out in the sky
Catch my eye turn my head have to look don't know why
I see you
Everywhere behind your hair over there
I see you
I see you though your eyes can tell lies I sympathize,
I see you
Sun smiling sun through the cave of your hair
Wind washing tulips out of space sitting there
I love you
At your door second floor first world war
I love you
I see you,
Everywhere behind your hair over there
I see you
I see you though your eyes can tell lies I sympathize
I see you
I love you,
I love you at your door second floor first world war
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Why is there you,
When there are few,
People making me feel good.
Why is there me,
When air is free,
Some I can see better than I should,
There's only us,
Simply because,
Thinking of us makes us both happy
I think of you everyway, yesterday and today,
I think of things we do all the way everyday
Stand in the sea
Sing songs for me,
Sing happily making me feel good,
Watching your eyes,
Feeling your sighs,
Saying goodbyes better than I could,
There's only us,
Simply because,
Thinking of us makes us both happy
I think of you everyway yesterday and today,
I think of nothing but you things we do, things we do.

Looking around me
There's not too much in life I miss
Things that I can't see
I'll touch and I'll feel then I'll kiss
Then I saw you standing there
With a smile I couldn't share
Just looking around, everywhere.
Tunes that I can't hear,
Would take me for a while my smile
Fares that are too dear
I'd rather walk out another smile
Then I heard a tune so right
It was in the light of night
Just listening around everywhere
All the things I've wanted to do
Take so much time to get around to you
Just reach out and catch and hold on
Leaving trails of dust and lust never even lying or trying
Keep on moving and never dying.
Smiles that I don't see
I'll make them up as I go on
Laughs that just can't be
I'll make and laugh at everyone
Then I saw you in your place
With a laugh upon your face
Just looking around everywhere
Looking around with my feet on the ground full of words and
Of sound bringing smiles all around
Satisfy me with your words that can be full of sound and I'll
See I'm just looking around.

Aaaaahhh
Harold Land with a wave of his hand,
Said goodbye to all that,
He paid his bills, stopped the Milk, then put on his hat,
He tried to say his last farewells as quickly as he could,
Promising that he would return, but doubted that he would,
Doubted that he would.

Now he's marching soldiers in the rain
As on to war they rode.
A long thin line of human mind,
Damnation as their load!
In the mud in coldness dark he'd shiver out his fear,
What disappointing sights he'd seen instead of one's so dear
instead of one's so dear

Going home, He's going home to the land he loved so well,
Going home, he fought for two whole years he never fell,
He's going home, He's going home.
Harold Land with a wave of his hand stood sadly on the stage,
Clutching red ribbons from a badge but he didn't look his age,
Only two years had passed between his leaving home and back,
He had lost his love and youth while leading the attack
Leading the attack

In conversation it could be said,
Well after war your heart is dead,
Well it's not hard to understand,
There is no heart in Harold Land.

When I'm walking beside her,
People tell me I'm lucky
Yes I know I'm a lucky guy
I remember the first time
I was lonely without her
Can't stop thinking about her now
Every little thing she does
She does for me yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me
When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me
Yes I know that she loves me now
There is one thing I'm sure of
'Cause I know love will never die

She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness
in and stirs it with a spoon,
She watches for my moods
and never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say
to make me feel so good inside
And when I'm all alone
I feel I don't want to hide
Today she bought me in and
told me where she'd been
She put my mind at rest
and put the sweetness in
I'll ask her for some time to go and look around
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say
to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone
I really don't feel that way.
Tell me how would you feel
with no world of your own
And nobody to hold, I just can't see the way
I'm so glad it's today
and you're here, you're here.
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness in and
stirs it with a spoon,
She watches for ALL my moods
never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say
to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone
I really don’t feel that way
Oh how I need her so,
I know she’ll never ever go
Do do do do do do
She’ll never leave me, believe me - no
Do do do do do do She’ll never go, no no
No no no no no no no no no - no!

Sunshine is creeping in and somewhere in a field a life begins,
An egg too proud to rape the beginning of the shape of things to come,
That start the run, life has begun, fly fast the gun.
The Mother flew too late and life within the egg was left to fate,
Not really knowing how the world outside would take it when it came,
And life's the same for things we aim, are we to blame?
Don't doubt the fact there's life within you,
Yesterday's endings will tomorrow life give you,
All that dies, dies for a reason,
To put its strength into the Season,
Survival, Survival,
They take away and they give their life as they live,
The living right to live, it's all that we need to show
The livings right to know.
The egg breaks all is out, the crawling bird begins to scream and shout,
Where is the parent bird, a loneliness arose and heard its name-
Ring in for live's begin, survival win, survival's sin.
So soon the evening comes with it runs the aching
Fear of hate could Someone still remain who thinks he
Still could gain by escaping fate? it's much too late,
Don't underrate, appreciate.
And we're all going
And we're all going
And we're all going somewhere!

Step out in the night
When you're lonely
Listening for the sounds
That your ears don't hear.
I know your cross is heavier
With every step, every step
But I know a man
Who'd walk miles for you.

Stop! You stay where you are.
Take a look at yourself.
Take a good look at yourself.
Can't tell your mama,
She'd only tell you
That she told you so,
The life you are leading
She won't believe
The real trick of life we all know.

Dawn turns to day
And the dawning
Daytime Nighttime
And we still can't see
Why must we wait
until the morning light
To wake up and be
To wake up and be
To wake up and be
To wake up and be.

And in a time that's closer, life will be even older then.
Souls will be complicated, life will be consummated then.
Hearts will be brought together soon in our minds forever then.
As long as we see there's only us, who can change it;
Only us to rearrange it at the start of a new kind of day.
And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.


Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer then.
Truth is just for the being and is the sight for seeing then.
Thoughts will be thought together soon in our minds forever then.
As long as we see there's only us, who can change it;
Only us to rearrange it at the start of a new kind of day.
And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.
Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer then.
Truth is just for the being and is the sight for seeing then.

Look at the sad goodbyes
Every day's a killing time
Sun coming up outside
No men are born this time
Saturday's child stays home
Nothing to say so long
Well Well Well another day
Well Well well another day.

Grocery store ten bucks
Just making change for plastic cherries
Up in a tree a Jay Bird looking at me
No word
Everyone looks but can't see.
We can't be ignored so easily
Well Well Well another day
Well Well Well another day.

Soft within the wayward things
Like ecstasy, the sound of trees,
Most anything, what a baby sees

Beautiful face all right
Many a place out of sight
Old woman there with red shoes
Four million balloons all used
Drive over hills forget your fear
Getting it out of second gear
Well Well Well another day
Well Well Well another day.

Sweet dreams can solve the future,
Sweet dreams provide the past.
Sweet things within your makeup;
These things will always last,
These things will make

Sweet dreams of conversation,
Sweet dreams of love affection.
Sweet words within your makeup;
Sweet words of things to

Come on and write your letter,
You know it will be better anyhow.
You're gonna laugh again,
You're gonna smile again,
You're gonna love again.

Sweet dreams are born inside you,
Sweet dreams are born to last.
Sweet thoughts within your makeup;
These thoughts will always last,
These thoughts will always last.

Come on and write your letter,
You know it will be better anyhow.
You're gonna laugh again,
You're gonna smile again,
You're gonna love again.

Sweet dreams can solve the future,
Sweet dreams provide the past.
Sweet dreams can solve the future,
Sweet dreams provide the past.

The Prophet
Anderson/Squire

Long ago a tall man told a tale of yesterday,
Searching for the truth to life and not for just the way.
Finding pleasure from the sounds his ears, they did obey;
In his life a moment's pleasure, never to delay.


He was lost and in his trust he found a new meaning;
Seeing things in diff'rent lights his life was redeeming.


Words of peace would fill his mind and change his way of life;
Peaceful meetings with his heart have made him more alive.
Meeting wise old women on the cliffs of life itself;
Asking more for first meaning, more for just himself.

Soon we'll be as he proclaimed in a new way of living;
Take the things you need in life but remember the giving.


Prophesy within your mind and you will work it out;
Prophesy that some will die but only those who doubt.
Then you'll never worry as somtimes you used to do;
Just remember when you're gone there's someone after you, you.

I once knew a sweet young girl;
Her body was her world and love,
Her laughter was as happiness is.
Of all the times I treasure this.
And on a day we will remember,
On a clear day we will love forever.


I once knew a sweet young dream,
That if life itself were all we had
Then who are we to ask for more;
Let's not be sad, let's all be sure.
And on a day we will remember,
On a clear day we'll all be together,
Together.

And in the ruins of the balloon
Stood a man with glasses held high,
Wandering when to do it again
Have another fly into the sky,
Somewhere flying high.


Astral traveller,
Leaving without her,
Wondering where lights go;
Leave out the body load.


Once in the air, people who dare
Get great respect in being.
(Astral traveller.)
Heavenly flight wondrous night
And all the sights worth seeing,
Just believe in.


Astral traveller,
Leaving without her,
Wondering where lights go;
Leave out the body load.

In the morning when you rise,
Do you open up your eyes, see what I see?
Do you see the same things ev'ry day?

Do you think of a way to start the day
Getting things in proportion?
Spread the news and help the world go 'round.

Have you heard of a time that will help us get it together again?
Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong?
Well, the time is near the word you'll hear
When you get things in perspective.
Spread the news and help the word go round.


There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me,
It's right for me, and the time is now.
There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me,
It's right for me, and the word is love.


Have you heard of a time that will help get it together again?
Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong?
Well, the time is near and the word you'll hear
When you get things in perspective.
Spread the news and help the word go round.


There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me,
It's right for me, and the time is now.
There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me,
It's right for me, and the word is love.
There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me,
It's right for me, and the time is now.
There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me,
It's right for me, and the word is love.

Here are the books of look;
You need them to open the seed
To see what goes on in the world
Here in my mind
Catch the wind and hold on tight
To what we'll find
And hear what goes on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me

If there's anything you'd like to say that could help me in any way
Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
Help me on that day
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father [Repeat]
I'm hungry, I'm cold
Feeling terribly old
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

They're on their own, needing a face, a place,
Hope and mind, a home
To see what goes on in the world
They're who you need
To show them why they're wrong, oh why indeed
We need to go on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me.

If there's any complication that you'd like to talk over with me about
'Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
We can work it all out
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father [Repeat]
You must be putting me on
'Cause most of their minds are gone
They run on T'understand me
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father [Repeat]
Can I give it a miss
'Cause I'm not ready for this
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father [Repeat]
Won't you leave me alone
Won't you let me go home
I don't think I could see
Lord, they'd crucify me
I just couldn't do that
'Cause that's not where it's at now.

Step out in the night
When you're lonely
Listening for the sounds
That your ears don't hear.
I know your cross is heavier
With every step, every step
But I know a man
Who'd walk miles for you.

Stop! You stay where you are.
Take a look at yourself.
Take a good look at yourself.
Can't tell your mama,
She'd only tell you
That she told you so,
The life you are leading
She won't believe
The real trick of life we all know.

Why must we wait

To wake up and be
To wake up and be
To wake up and be
To wake up and be.

I really don’t feel that way
Oh how I need her so,
I know she’ll never ever go
Do do do do do do
She’ll never leave me, believe me - no
Do do do do do do She’ll never go, no no
No no no no no no no no no - no!

Sunshine is creeping in and somewhere in a field a life begins,
An egg too proud to rape the beginning of the shape of things to come,
That start the run, life has begun, fly fast the gun.
The Mother flew too late and life within the egg was left to fate,
Not really knowing how the world outside would take it when it came,
And life's the same for things we aim, are we to blame?
Don't doubt the fact there's life within you,
Yesterday's endings will tomorrow life give you,
All that dies, dies for a reason,
To put its strength into the Season,
Survival, Survival,
They take away and they give their life as they live,
The living right to live, it's all that we need to show
The livings right to know.
The egg breaks all is out, the crawling bird begins to scream and shout,
Where is the parent bird, a loneliness arose and heard its name-
Ring in for live's begin, survival win, survival's sin.
So soon the evening comes with it runs the aching
Fear of hate could Someone still remain who thinks he
Still could gain by escaping fate? it's much too late,
Don't underrate, appreciate.
And we're all going
And we're all going
And we're all going somewhere!

Look at the sad goodbyes
Every day's a killing time
Sun coming up outside
No men are born this time
Saturday's child stays home
Nothing to say so long
Well Well Well another day
Well Well well another day.

Grocery store ten bucks
Just making change for plastic cherries
Up in a tree a Jay Bird looking at me
No word
Everyone looks but can't see.
We can't be ignored so easily
Well Well Well another day
Well Well Well another day.

Soft within the wayward things
Like ecstasy, the sound of trees,
Most anything, what a baby sees

Beautiful face all right
Many a place out of sight
Old woman there with red shoes
Four million balloons all used
Drive over hills forget your fear
Getting it out of second gear
Well Well Well another day
Well Well Well another day.

Here are the books of look;
You need them to open the seed
To see what goes on in the world
Here in my mind
Catch the wind and hold on tight
To what we'll find
And hear what goes on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me

If there's anything you'd like to say that could help me in any way
Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
Help me on that day
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father [Repeat]
I'm hungry, I'm cold
Feeling terribly old
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

They're on their own, needing a face, a place,
Hope and mind, a home
To see what goes on in the world
They're who you need
To show them why they're wrong, oh why indeed
We need to go on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me.

If there's any complication that you'd like to talk over with me about
'Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
We can work it all out
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father [Repeat]
You must be putting me on
'Cause most of their minds are gone
They run on T'understand me
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father [Repeat]
Can I give it a miss
'Cause I'm not ready for this
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father [Repeat]
Won't you leave me alone
Won't you let me go home
I don't think I could see
Lord, they'd crucify me
I just couldn't do that
'Cause that's not where it's at now.

Could be
Who knows?
There something due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows

It may come cannon-ballin* down from the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose
Who knows?

It*s only just out of reach
Down a block, on the beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there*s a miracle due
Gotta come through
Coming to me

Could it be
Yes it could
Something*s coming
Something good
If I can wait

Something*s coming
I don*t know what it is
But it is
Going to be great

With a click
With a shock
Bell will jingle
Door will knock
Open the latch

Something*s coming
I don*t know what it is
But it is
Going to be great

Around the corner
A-whistlin* down the river
Come on deliver
To me
To me

Could be
Who knows?
There something due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows

It may come cannon-ballin* down from the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose
Who knows?

It*s only just out of reach
Down a block, on the beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there*s a miracle due
Gotta come through
Coming to me
To me

Tonight, Tonight
Won*t be just any night
Tonight there will be no morning star.

Tonight.

Sitting here in the television
Looking at the tube
Sitting next to me

He's not been very well lately
He told me so
He's been crying
A little bit
And I ain't lyin'

But we're sitting it out
Watching "Match of the Day".

You know we've all gotta go anyway
I said we've all gotta go anyway

And I wouldn't mind being last in line
To see such joy and fruitfulness.
When everyone discovers short stories
