In a dog's life

A year is really more like seven

And all too soon a canine

Will be chasing cars in doggie heaven

 

It seems to me

As we make our own few circles 'round the sun

We get it backwards

And our seven years go by like one

 

Dog years -- It's the season of the itch

Dog years -- With every scratch it reappears

 

In the dog days

People look to Sirius

Dogs cry for the moon

But these connections are mysterious

 

It seems to me

While it's true that every dog will have his day

When all the bones are buried

There is barely time to go outside and play

 

Dog years -- It's the season of the itch

Dog years -- With every scratch it reappears

Dog years -- For every sad son of a bitch

Dog years -- With his tail between his ears

 

I'd rather be a tortoise from Galapagos

Or a span of geological time

Than be living in these dog years

 

In a dog's brain

A constant buzz of low-level static

One sniff at the hydrant

And the answer is automatic

 

It seems to me

As well make our own few circles 'round the block

We've lost our senses

For the higher-level static of talk

I said I played this song so many times before

That the melody keeps repeating

Growing new ideas, flowing chords and notes

Like a mountain river bleeding

 

Well, I say as I look back at all the thoughts I've had

They reflect just what I'm learning

Yes, you know that the hardest part, yes, I say it is to stay on top

On top of a world forever churning

 

Well, you say you can laugh, but I can see that your eyes are glass

Well, do you see, can't you see, what I'm feeling?

Yes, I've seen your face before

Why, I've seen it everywhere

Showing up to me without a scent revealing

 

Well, I said will it ever change?

Will it stay the same?

I'd surely like to know before it's over

Well, I said I played some

I said it won't be long

Won't be long before I stop and play it over

 

You know I've, I've seen your face before

Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?

Oh, oh, I've, I've been in one place too long

Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?

(This is it)

 

Spin it on, don't stop. Take it back to the top.

'Cos I gotwhole lotta love for you

I wanna spin it on. Spin it on!

 

 

Off to the flicks with the piddle in her nicks, to the fair with her hair in curlers.

Their cousins didn't get all down to the pleasure dome

Their cousins didn't send their night in an aircraft hanger.

Memories . . .!

 

 

Spin it on, don't stop. Take it back to the top.

'Cos I got whole lotta love for you

That's why I wanna spin it on. Spin it on! Spin it on!

 

Spin it on!

 

Spin it on, don't stop. Take it back to the top

'Cos I got whole lotta love for you

That's why I wanna spin it on. Spin it on!

 

Off to the fields with a missionary's zeal for the life of the wife of the farmer

Their cousins didn't get all down to the billiard hall

Their cousins didn't spend their time on a pinball table.

Memories . . .!

 

Spin it on, don't stop. Take it back to the top

'Cos I got whole lotta love for you.

I wanna spin it on. Spin it on!

Spin it on! Spin it on! I wanna spin it on! I wanna spin it on!

Spin it on! Don't Stop! Take it back to the top!

'Cos I got a whole lotta for you!

Nothing Blooms

In A Loveless Room

You've Got To Want It

You've Got To Want It

 

Who's The Fool

Where Apathy Rules

You've Got To Want It

You've Got To Want It

 

If You Don't Want It

It Remains The Same

It's A Heart Of Darkness

That Wants To Play That Game

If There's No Defiance

It Remains Insane

If It's All Compliance

It's A Runaway Train

 

Nothing So Cruel

Where Malevolence Rules

You've Got To Want It

You've Got To Want It

 

There Is No Defense

Against Pointed Arrogance

You've Got To Want It

You've Got To Want It

 

If You Don't Want It

It Remains The Same

It's A Heart Of Darkness

That Wants To Play That Game

It Can Be Surprising

When You Lose The Shame

And The Sun Starts Rising

Another Day To Tame

 

If You're Heart Is Aching

Just Remove The Shame

You've Got To Want It

 

Give Your Soul A Shaking

And Refuse The Blame

You've Got To Want It

 

Who's The Fool

Where Apathy Rules

You've Got To Want It

You've Got To Want It

 

If You Don't Want It

It Remains The Same

It's A Heart Of Darkness

That Wants To Play That Game

If There's No Defiance

It Remains Insane

If It's All Compliance

It's A Runaway Train

On a cobweb afternoon

In a room full of emptiness

By a freeway I confess

I was lost in the pages

Of a book full of death

Reading how we'll die alone

And if we're good we'll lay to rest

Anywhere we want to go

 

(chorus)

In your house I long to be

Room by room patiently

I'll wait for you there

Like a stone

I'll wait for you there

Alone

 

On my deathbed I will pray

To the gods and the angels

Like a pagan to anyone

Who will take me to heaven

To a place I recall

I was there so long ago

The sky was bruised

The wine was bled

And there you led me on

 

(chorus)

In your house I long to be

Room by room patiently

I'll wait for you there

Like a stone

I'll wait for you there

Alone

 

And on I read

Until the day was gone

And I sat in regret

Of all the things I've done

For all that I've blessed

And all that I've wronged

In dreams until my death

I will wander on

One of the greatest songs ever;

 

Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reeled

A fatal attraction holding me fast, how

Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

 

Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

 

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything

No navigator to guide my way home

Unladened, empty and turned to stone

 

A soul in tension thats learning to fly

Condition grounded but determined to try

Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

 

Friction lock - set.

Mixture - rich

Propellers - fully forward

Flaps - set - 10 degrees

Engine gauges and suction - check

 

Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck

Flight instruments...

Altimeters - check both

(garbled word) - on

Navigation lights - on

Strobes - on

(to tower): confirm 3-8-echo ready for departure

(tower): hello again, this is now 129.4

(to tower): 129.4. its to go.

(tower): you may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.

(to tower): 3-8-echo

Easy on the brakes. take it easy. its gonna roll this time.

Just hand the power gradually, and it...

 

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,

My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Out of the corner of my watering eye

A dream unthreatened by the morning light

Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

 

Theres no sensation to compare with this

Suspended animation, a state of bliss

Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

Please could you stop the noise Im trying to get some rest?

From all the unborn chicken voices in my head

Whats that, whats that

 

When I am king you will be first against the wall

With your opinion which is of no consequence at all

Whats that, whats that

 

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly

Kicking squealing gucci little piggy

 

You dont remember, you dont remember, why dont you remember my name

Off with his head man, off with his head man

Why dont you remember my name? -- I guess he does

 

Rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me

From a great height, from a great height, height

Rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me

From a great height, from a great height, height

 

(repeats 3rd time, underneath vocals are:)

Thats it sir, youre leaving,

The crackle of pig skin,

The dust and the screaming

The yuppies networking

The panic, the vomit,

The panic, the vomit

God loves his children,

God loves his children, yeah

You said

I cannot get there from here, baby

And I don't care where I'm goin'

Here's to your thin red line

I'm stepping over

Thought you'd never miss me

'Til I got a Fat City address

Non-stop talker, what a rocker!

Blue eyed murder in a size 5 dress

Change, nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah you hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah you hit the ground running

No, I don't ask for permission

This is my chance to fly

Maybe enough ain't enough for you

But it's my turn to try

Thought you'd never miss me

'Til I got a Fat City address

Non-stop talker, what a rocker!

Blue-eyed murder in a side-swiped dress

Change, nothing stays the same

Unchained, and ya hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Change, nothing stays the same

Unchained, and ya hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Take a look at this!

Hey, man, that suit is you!

You'll get some leg tonight for sure!

Tell us how you do!

(Come on, Dave, give me a break.)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, one break coming up!

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Change, and nothing stays the same

Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Now it's come to this

It's like we're back in the Dark Ages

From the Middle East to the Middle West

It's a world of superstition

 

Now it's come to this

Wide-eyed armies of the faithful

From the Middle East to the Middle West

Pray, and pass the ammunition

 

So many people think that way

You gotta watch what you say

To them and them, and others too

Who don't seem to see to things the way you do

 

We can only grow the way the wind blows

on a bare and weathered shore

We can only bow to the here and now

In our elemental war

 

We can only go the way the wind blows

We can only bow to the here and now

Or be broken down blow by blow

 

Now it's come to this

Hollow speeches of mass deception

From the Middle East to the Middle West

Like crusaders in a holy alliance

 

Now it's come to this

Like we're back in the dark ages

From the Middle East to the Middle West

It's a plague that resists our science

 

It seems to leave them partly blind

And they leave no child behind

While evil spirits haunt their sleep

While shepherds bless and count their sheep

 

Like the solitary pine

On a bare wind blasted shore

We can only grow the way the wind blows

I. At The Tobes Of Hades

The Tobes of Hades, lit by flickering torchlight

The netherworld is gathered in the glare

Prince By-Tor takes the cavern to the north light

The sign of Eth is rising in the air.

By-Tor, knight of darkness,

Centurion of evil, devil's prince.

 

II. Across The Styx

Across the River Styx, out of the lamplight

His nemesis is waiting at the gate

The Snow Dog, ermine glowing in the damp night

Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate.

By-Tor and the Snow Dog

Square for battle, let the fray begin...

 

III. The Battle

i) Challenge And Defiance

ii) 7/4 War Furor

iii) Aftermath

iv) Hymn of Triumph

 

IV. Epilogue

The battle's over and the dust is clearing

Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell

Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing

By-Tor in defeat retreats to Hell

Snow Dog is victorious

The land of the Overworld is saved again.

My fears hunt me down

Capturing my memories

The frontier of loss

They try to escape across the street where

Jesus stripped bare

And raped the spirit he was supposed to nurture

In the name of my

In the name of my

 

Born of a broken man

But not a broken man

Born of a broken man

Never a broken man

 

Like autumn leaves

His sense fell from him

An empty glass of himself

Shattered somewhere within

His thoughts like a hundred moths

Trapped in a lampshade

Somewhere within

Their wings banging and burning

On through endless nights

Forever awake he lies shaking and starving

Praying for someone to turn off the light

 

Born of a broken man

Never a broken man

Born of a broken man

But not a broken man

 

My fears hunt me down

Capturing my memories

The frontier of loss

They try to escape across the street where

Jesus stripped bare

And raped the spirit he was supposed to nurture

In the name of my

In the name of my

Think of London, a small city

It's dark, dark in the daytime

The people sleep, sleep in the daytime

If they want to, if they want to

 

I'm checking them out

I'm checking them out

I got it figured out

I got it figured out

There's good points and bad points

Find a city

Find myself a city to live in.

 

There are a lot of rich people in Birmingham

A lot of ghosts in a lot of houses

Look over there!...A dry ice factory

A good place to get some thinking done

 

Down el Paso way things get pretty spread out

People got no idea where in the world they are

They go up north and come back south

Still got no idea where in the world they are.

Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis

Home of Elvis and the ancient greeks

Do I smell? I smell home cooking

It's only the river, it's only the river.

Driving away to the east, and into the past

History receeds in my rear-view mirror

Carried away on a wave of music down a desert road

Memory humming at the heart of a factory town

 

All my life

I've been workin' them angels overtime

Riding and driving and living

So close to the edge

Workin' them angels - Overtime

 

Riding through the Range of Light to the wounded city

Filling my spirit with the wildest wish to fly

Taking the high road to the wounded city

Memory strumming at the heart of a moving picture

All this time

I've been workin' them angels overtime

Riding and driving and flying

Just over the edge

Workin' them angels - Overtime

 

Driving down the razor's edge between the past and the future

Turn up the music and smile

Get carried away on the songs and stories of vanished times

Memory drumming at the heart of an English winter

Memories beating at the heart of an African village

Every night in my dreams

I see you. I feel you.

That is how I know you go on.

 

Far across the distance

And spaces between us

You have come to show you go on.

 

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart, and

My heart will go on and on.

 

Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime

And never let go till we're one.

 

Love was when I loved you

One true time I hold you to.

In my life we'll always go on

 

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart, and

My heart will go on and on.

 

You're here there's nothing I fear,

And I know that my heart will go on

We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart, and

My heart will go on and on...

Though we might have precious little

It's still precious

 

I like that song about this wonderful world

It's got a sunny point of view

And sometimes I feel it's true

At least for a few of us

I like that world, it makes a wonderful song

But there's a darker point of view

But sadly just as true

For so many among us

 

Though we might have precious little

It's still precious

 

In the sweetest child there's a vicious streak

In the strongest man there's a child so weak

In the whole wide world there's no magic place

So you might as well rise put on your bravest face

 

I like that show where they solve all the murders

An heroic point of view

It's got justice and vengeance too

At least so the story goes

I like that story, makes a satisfying case

But there's a messy point of view

That's sadly just as true

For so many among us

 

In softest voice there's an acid tongue

In the oldest eyes there's a soul so young

In the shakiest will there's a core of steel

On the smoothest ride there's a squeaky wheel

 

Though we might have precious little

It's still precious

There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance,

A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance.

 

A planet of playthings,

We dance on the strings

Of powers we cannot perceive

"The stars aren't aligned,

Or the gods are malign..."

Blame is better to give than receive.

 

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;

I will choose a path that's clear

I will choose freewill.

 

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand,

The cards were stacked against them; they weren't born in Lotusland.

 

All preordained

A prisoner in chains

A victim of venomous fate.

Kicked in the face,

You can't pray for a place

In heaven's unearthly estate.

 

1022.gif

Each of us

A cell of awareness

Imperfect and incomplete.

Genetic blends

With uncertain ends

On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet.

'Enter the Champion

Prince By-Tor appears to battle for freedom from chains of long years

The spell has been broken...the Dark Lands are bright.

The Wraith of the Necromancer soars

away in the night.'

 

Stealthily attacking

By-Tor slays his foe

The men are free to run now

From labyrinths below

The Wraith of Necromancer

Shadows through the sky

Another land to darken

With evil prism eye

Diamonds and dust

Poor man last, rich man first

Lamborghinis, caviar

Dry martinis, Shangri-la

I got a burnin' feelin'

Deep inside of me

It's a-yearning

But, I'm gonna to set it free

 

I'm goin' in to Sin City

I'm gonna win in Sin City

Where the lights are bright

Do the town tonight

I'm gonna win in Sin City

 

Oh, I'm gonna roll you, baby

Snake eyes, wouw

 

Ladders and snakes

Ladders give, snakes take

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief

Ain't got a hope in hell, that's my belief

 

Fingers Freddy, Diamond Jim

They're gettin' ready, look out, I'm comin' in

So, spin that wheel, cut that pack

And roll those loaded dice

Bring on the dancing girls

And put the champaign on ice

 

I'm goin' in to Sin City

I'm gonna win in Sin City

Where the lights are bright

Do the town tonight

I'm goin' in to Sin City

You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

You may find yourself in another part of the world

You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile

You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife

You may ask yourself; Well...How did I get here?

 

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground

 

You may ask yourself

How do I work this?

You may ask yourself

Where is that large automobile?

You may tell yourself

This is not my beautiful house!

You may tell yourself

This is not my beautiful wife!

 

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground

 

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

 

Water dissolving...and water removing

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

UNDER the water

Carry the water

Water Remov-remov

Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean

 

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/INTO THE SILENT WATER

UNDER THE ROCKS AND STONES/THERE IS WATER UNDERGROUND

 

LETTING THE DAYS GO BY/LET THE WATER HOLD ME DOWN

LETTING THE DAYS GO BY/WATER FLOWING UNDERGROUND

INTO THE BLUE AGAIN/AFTER THE MONEY'S GONE

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground

 

You may ask yourself

What is that beautiful house?

You may ask yourself

Where does that highway GO to?

You may ask yourself

Am I right?...Am I wrong?

You may say to yourself

MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

 

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/INTO THE SILENT WATER

UNDER THE ROCKS AND STONES/THERE IS WATER underground

 

LETTING THE DAYS GO BY/LET THE WATER HOLD ME DOWN

LETTING THE DAYS GO BY/WATER FLOWING UNDER GROUND

INTO THE BLUE AGAIN/AFTER THE MONEY'S GONE

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground

 

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

LOOK WHERE MY HAND WAS

 

Time isn't holding us

Time isn't after us

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

??

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

 

??

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

Yeah the twister comes

HERE COMES THE TWISTER

Letting the days go by

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

Letting the days go by

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

Letting the days go by

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

ONCE IN A LIFE TIME

LET THE WATER HOLD ME DOWN

LETTING THE DAYS GO BY
