Words To Heaven's Gate
One Simple Lesson - Since beginning doesn't tell us The end never can Measure the distance between somewhere and we just Stop - Sing out the praises Rise the multitudes to the ocaisson No one knows for sure Who turned out the light - We do what we have to Distills an Ancient textbook Into one simple lesson - Running out of words Stumbles a Blessing Caught between the perils of some mighty big Teeth - There is only one lesson Opens up the sky You see is all the others just reflections Dazzling your Eye
A Fool's Paradise - Sliding down the ruins of Ancient Civilizations Thrills many people into thinking We aren't one of them - Ridicule others if you will Won't stop Right back the mirror Bounces into never looking too close - If making sence is your game Spend some time at the Cemetery - A fools paradise Insists you never let go Too much lingers the Vacation - I never believe into anything I can't see how it is possible To put together so much trash Into sweetly sounding words - Give peace a chance Escalates into a Crescendo of voices Fighting over Who gets the most - Down the road Goes the picture perfect Wheels its way into a Sunset your eyes have become
The Threads Of Separation - Twist the world Into any shape Always comes back the way it wants You to believe no one was Watching - The threads of separation Bind us all together Rows the boat wave after wave Churns the imagination Into one ball of Butter - Coming to terms with what's around you Snaps a finger Too often broken off the hand that Feeds it - Models of health Might come to mind you a little closer To the first day that Never stopped Believing in itself - Death defying is the way I always look at you Falliong through open arms Must bear the burden of never knowing If you will catch me - Pouring out of me Goes my heart Every time you sing the Star Spangled Something or other I never got over the thrill
Floating In Surrealistic Air - Swings both ways The gate of heaven Floating in surrealistic air Bottoms out a Black hole Between your two ears - Circumstances moment the next time you feel Tired of trying to explain Something words put in your mouth - Whether you like it or not Even a trace remains true to the original Intent Defies calculation Beyond which you may not like it too much - Keeping score settles the question of Who will find out Why you never want to - Crazy how much Further we go to just sit down Gathers all the dust Our thoughts have become
If These Words Were Complicated - If these words were complicated Wouldn't be worth a damn Would go to Hell and Back Again wanting more - Preaching Salvation Lost Already - Impossible to believe in Banks the stream dry - The floor never questioned your Pacing away the answer Now Did It - If you can't forgive Can'tForget Remembering - What is stopping you Cannot hold a candleto What is Not - Mightier than the sword Is the point it comes down to In the end
Could Surprise Some - Believing into a Cosmic Whirlwind Sails off a brite day in the life of a Dreamer - Quantum leaps are the inevitable Chase of the First time I saw You - Lurching around the bend Comes a road not used to your ideas of Right and Wrong Time to stop thinking about Where you are going - So why not look out the window Yawns a picture painted over Another look could surprise some Into thinking the Artist Loved them all - Words have a funny way of Compounding the Original Sin Shuts up Itself - If and When you take the bull by the horns Stands the Matedor ready for One more
