- Track Name: Amber Skies
-
Her eyes flickered
Their flames burned up my gaze
And tossed me
Into a kind of haze
A state of staring
At the amber skies
And the starlight fills her eyes
Her hair wavered
In the night's swift breeze
And I quivered
I fell onto my knees
From that instant
Her, I'll always miss
And she don't even know I exist
- Track Name: Voyage of the Argo
-
Let's take a trip around the world
In my ship with our flags unfurled
Blowing in the wind
Our voyage begins; we set out
Let's sail from London to Santa Cruz
See the world; what have we to lose?
Speak in metaphors in semaphore
With the crew
Let's fly from Hong Kong to Jericho
The wind will tell us where to go
He'll say, "Follow me,
I'll set you free with my breath."
Let's go
On the Argo!
We'll head to Gibraltar's Straight
On the continent
We'll be content
Just to live our lives; then we'll glide
Right over the Hellespont
Maybe we'll see an Olliphant
Tell the folks back home
They'll never believe us
We'll stay in Pisa to take a nap
If the tower falls we'll have a laugh
Then we'll sail away
Into the day and the night
By the time the Sun's up again we'll be
Somewhere in the Arctic Sea
Taking turns conversing
With the local Swedes
Let's go
On the Argo!
We'll set out for Morocco
We'll go further down
To Sao Paulo town
Dance in trench coats in the streets
We'll run away; we'll skip L.A.
We'll make a plan to head to Japan
Then we'll come back home
And fall asleep in our bed
When all is said and all is done
We'll have nowhere left to run
So let's take a breath
Enjoy the rest of our lives
- Track Name: Monster
-
I wake up; open my sleepy eyes
While tears glow like fireflies
Streaming down my cheeks
Weeping over something
That I can’t explain
I know you’re not to blame
I really think that no one is
But this just isn’t me
It’s not how I’m supposed to be
So I apologize
I’ve lost it; I’ve tossed away my mind
Over the smallest things I could find
To get upset about
And in a fit of rage
I reread every page
Of issues since long gone
But I won’t let them die
Until I’ve seen you cry
Accuse you of every lie
That you have never made
I had broken, but now I’m healed again
In sight there is no end
To my transformations
Between personalities
My mind’s gone and set them free
A modern Mr. Hyde
But you chose to stay on for the ride
You want to help me through
And not let this monster continue
I owe that to you
