My Favorite Headache

 

One Man Standing On The Plains Of Abraham

Watching A Damaged Sunrise

One Man Standing Near The Edge

Of A Quiet Breakdown

 

I Watch The Sea

It Helps To Anchor Me

I Watch The Sea

It Helps To Anchor Me

 

Once You Start Hiding

You Keep On Hiding

Till Your Paranoia Calms Down

Once You Start Watching

You Keep On Watching

Till You're Tied Up And You're Spellbound

 

Just Between The Ice Ages Anyway

I Want To Talk But I Haven't Got

Too Much To Say

I Don't Mean To Be So Nihilistic

Forgive Me If I Seem To Be Too Realistic

 

Once You Start Running

You Keep On Running

Till Your Muscles Start To Breakdown

Once You Start Falling

You Keep On Falling

Till You Hit The Cold. Cold Ground

 

I Watch T.v.

What Do You Want From Me

I Watch T.v.

What Do You Want From Me

 

Just Between The Ice Ages Anyway

I Want To Talk But I Haven't Got

Enough To Say

I Don't Mean To Be So Nihilistic

Forgive Me If I Seem To Be Too Realistic

 

Once You Start Hiding

You Keep On Hiding

Till You Feel You're Safe And Sound

Once You Start Watching

You Keep On Watching

Till You're Tied Up And You're Spellbound

 

I Watch The Sea

It Helps To Anchor Me

I Watch The Sea

I Saw It On T.V.

 

 

The Present Tense

 

Living In The Present Tense

When You Lose The Past

And The Future Makes No Sense

You're Living In The Present Tense

 

Crawling Out, Secure And Confident

Imbued With Innocence

Ready For The Whirl

Suddenly The View Was More Intense

Living In A Different Kind Of World

 

You're Living

Living In The Present Tense

There's Nothing To Blame

No Victim Of Consequence

You're Living In The Present Tense

 

Something You Said

It Made Me

Step Outside ..the Moment

Eyes Pan Right And Left

Around My World

 

Open Yourself

Up To The Possibility

Aware Of Some Reality

Outside Your World

 

In A Silent Universe

The Moment Can Be So Real

You Almost Can't Stand It

 

In A Distant Universe

Distracted From Ourselves

You Can't Help But Wonder

 

In A Crowded Universe

When The Talking Turns To Noise

You Almost Start Laughing

 

You're Living

Living In The Present Tense

When You Lose The Past

And The Future Makes No Sense

You're Living In The Present Tense

Nothing To Blame

No Victim Of Consequence

You're Living In The Present Tense

 

 

Window To The World

 

I've Gone Flying, Trying To Reach You

You've Been Hiding, Riding Me To A State Like This

 

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To The World

 

We Are Sailing, Flailing Through The Ether

You've Been Trailing, Failing Me With You're

View Of Bliss

 

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To The World

 

A Little More Than This,

A Little Less Than That,

You've Got Magic In Your Hands

 

A Little More Like This,

A Little Less Like That,

I've Got Magic In My Hands

 

You've Conspired, Inspired Me To

Find A Place Like This

 

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To,

Give Me That Window To The World

 

 

Working at Perfekt

 

Draw A Line

Strong And Clear

Make It Bend To Your Will

All The Lines

In A Face

So Hard To Make Stand Still

 

'till The Flaws Disappear

'till What's Wrong Disappears

'till All That's Wrong Will

Disappear

 

Working At Perfect

Got Me Down On My Knees

Success To Failure

Just A Matter Of Degrees

Success To Failure

Just A Matter Of Degrees

 

All The Colours Of The Day

Have Somehow Disappeared

All The Colours Of The Universe

Are Closer Than They Appear

 

Are Not As Close As They Appear

Are Not As Close As They Appear

Not As Close As They Appear

 

Nothing Is Perfect

Certainly Not Me

Success To Failure

Just A Matter Of Degrees

Working At Perfect

Got Me Down On My Knees

 

But When It's Right

It's Right As Rain

And When It's Right

There Is No Pain

And When It's Right

You Start Again

 

Working At Perfect

Got You Down On Your Knees

Success To Failure

Just A Matter Of Degrees

Success To Failure

Just A Matter Of Degrees

 

 

Runaway Train

 

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 Defence

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

 

It's A Runaway Train

 

 

The Angels' Share

 

The Angels' Share

The Secrets Of The Universe

It's Seldom Fair

Partly Blessing Partly Curse

 

All Those Things We Cannot Know

We Dream , We Hypothesize

Maybe These Are Secrets Shared By Those

Watching From The Sky

 

If We Are Only Members Of The Human Race

No Supernatural Beings From A

Supranatural Place

If You Can't Solve The Problem

Come And Tell Me To My Face

 

The Angels' Share

All The Human Mysteries

There Is No Prayer

To The Thieves Of Celestial History

 

The Myth Of Perfect Reason

We've Forgotten At Birth

It's A Kind Of Clandestine Conspiracy

A Seraphin Joke Of Eternity

 

If We Are Only Members Of The Human Race

No Supernatural Beings From A

Supranatural Place

If You Can't Solve The Problem

Come And Tell Me To My Face

 

All Those Things We Cannot Know

We Dream , We Hypothesize

Maybe These Are Secrets Shared By Those

Watching From The Sky

 

If We Are Only Members Of The Human Race

No Supernatural Beings From A

Supranatural Place

If You Can't Solve The Problem

Come And Tell Me To My Face

 

 

Moving To Bohemia

 

Where The Air's Not Clean

Where The Water's Glowing Green

Where The Dog's Are Mean

 

I'm Moving To Bohemia

Taking You Along

Say Goodbye To Suburbia

You Don't Have To Cut The Lawn

 

I Had A Dream Of A Different Place

I Had A Dream That You Had A Different Face

I Heard A Scream Of A Desperate Kind

I've Got A Feeling That You're Gonna Love What

You'll Find

 

Where We're On T.V.

Where The Money Grows On Trees

Where The Beer Is Free

 

Moving To Bohemia

Taking You Along

Say Goodbye To Utopia

We'll Wave Before We're Gone

 

I Had A Dream Fo A Different Place

I Had A Dream That You Had A Different Face

I Hear The Beat Of An Anxious Heart

I Feel The Heat...it's Time For Us To Start

Time For Us To Start

 

I'm Moving To Bohemia

Where The Literature 's Obscene

Bathing In Euphoria

Where The Naked Truth Is On The Screen

 

I Had A Dream Of A Different Place

I Had A Dream That You Had A Different Face

I Heard A Scream Of A Desperate Kind

I've Got A Feeling That...

You're Gonna Love What You'll Find

 

You're Gonna Love What You'll Find

 

 

Home On The Strange

 

He Sleeps With A Chain Saw

Got Eyes Like An Outlaw

He Takes A Two Smoke Walk

He Don't Like To Talk

 

And He Don't Like Change

And He Don't Like Change

You May Think He's Deranged

But He'd Rather Be Home,

Home.. Home On The Strange

 

He's A Canadian Icon

He's Sleeps With His Clothes On

He Likes To Work With His Hands

He's An Apolitical Man

 

And He Don't Like Change

And He Don't Like Change

You May Think He's Deranged

But He'd Rather Be Home,

Home.. Home On The Strange

 

One In A Lifetime

One In A World

One In A Life Time

One In A World

One In A Life Time

One In A World

 

He Sleeps With A Chainsaw

He Sings Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa

He Likes To Work With His Hands

He's An Apolitical Man

 

And He Don't Like Change

And He Don't Like Change

You May Think He's Deranged

But He'd Rather Be Home,

Home.. Home On The Strange

 

And He Don't Like Change

And He Don't Like Change

You May Think He's Deranged

But He'd Rather Be Home,

Home.. Home On The Strange

 

 

Slipping

 

Meant To Tell You

Tell You From The Start

Meant To Show You

What's Inside This Shallow Heart

But I Could Not Find The Words

Worthy Enough To Say

 

I Slipped Along The Way

I Slipped Along The Way

 

Tried To Be There

Be There When You Fall

Tried To Make You Feel Big

When Life Makes You Feel Small

But I Could Not Find The Steps

Quickly Enough To Take

 

I Slipped Along The Way

I Slipped Along The Way

 

Want To Change Things

Want To Clear The Air

Fix The Things Around Us

So Badly In Need Of Repair

But I Might Not Have The Sense

Sense Enough To Change

 

I Slipped Along The Way

 

 

Still

 

Trick Of The Light

Or Just

A Loss Of Perspective

Flaw In The Grand Plan

Just

The Way It Is

 

Looks Good From A Distance

But

The Closer I Come

It...

Becomes More Daunting

But

These Moments Will Pass

 

Still

Halfway Up The Hill

My Fingers May Bleed

But I've Got To Get There

Still

Standing On The Hill

My Spirit's Released

But I've Got To Get There

 

Lost In An Abstract Thought

Dazed And Distracted

Winded Yet Still I'm Caught

With A Fragment Of Doubt

Slowed By Reflection

But

These Moments Will Pass

 

Still

Halfway Up The Hill

My Fingers May Bleed

But I've Got To Get There

Still

Standing On The Hill

My Spirit's Released

But I've Got To Get There

 

It's Just Confusion

An Illusion

Easily Overdone

Here Comes Resolution

Absolution

 

It's Not An Illusion

Not A Fiction

Easily Overcome

Here Comes Revolution

Absolution

 

Trick Of The Light

Or Just

Too Much Perspective

Looks Good From A Distance

But

The Closer I Come

It

Becomes More Daunting

But

These Moments Will Pass

 

Still

 

 

Grace To Grace

 

A Hundred Thousand Years

A Hundred Thousand Miles Of Track

A Hundred Thousand Tears

Hundred Thousand Souls

You Can't Give Back

 

When The Dark Subsides

An Eternity Goes By

On The Fault Line

Between Then And Now

 

When The Truth Hides

An Eternity Goes By

On The Fault Line

Between Then And Now

 

Grace To Grace

Immaculate Vision

Of What Should Have Been

 

Face To Face

Eloquent Stories

Of What Could Have Been

 

A Hundred Thousand Dreams

A Hundred Thousand Beams Of Light

A Hundred Thousand Schemes

Gods In The Heavens Can't Get It Right

 

When The Dark Subsides

An Eternity Goes By

On The Fault Line

Between Then And Now

 

When The Truth Hides

Integrity Falls Shy

On The Fault Line

Between Then And Now

 

Grace To Grace

Immaculate Vision

Of What Should Have Been

 

Place To Place

Elegant Story

Of What Could Have Been

 

When The Truth Hides

Integrity Falls Shy

On The Fault Line

Between Then And Now

An Eternity Goes By

On The Fault Line

Between Then And Now

 

Grace To Grace

Immaculate Vision

Of What Should Have Been

 

Face To Face

Elegant Story

Of What Could Have Been

 

Grace To Grace
