lyrics

The streets were getting wider
As I turned and saw the sight
I’d buried my head in so much sand
It was time to see the light
Keys jangle in the locks of time
with stories from the past
the hospital for incurable bores
and the casualties were vast
Mingled cries exultant shouts
were laughing back at me
Promo discs and Hepburn hats
were begging to be free
complete altercation of the now and then
and pretentious lies and fake news facts
supression of the useless news
and the complimentary tax
Oh I’ve seen it, seen it in your eyes
you said that no one really lives
and no one really dies
you comfort me with renaissance eyes
and pictures from the Sorbonne
Then they said you were gone
I trusted you with all my dreams future plans and epic themes
naked ambitions and hearts on sleeves
album artwork and mellotron sleaze
All the fine tuning at every concert
beginning with crimson and ending with blue
The lock in the block and the dams and the numbers
the fish the chank the bush and the slumber
Oh be still be still
the change of pressure be still
oh oh be stil be still
calm your emotions be still be still be still
Alright you’re out my league
as you look at him and i start to freeze
Hes everything that i just cant be
so its time to end this lunacy
If I cant have you have no fear
its time to take your medicine dear
It tastes so sweet with chardonnay
the long cold shadows end the day
Oh be still be still
the change of pressure be still
oh oh be stil be still
calm your emotions be still be still be still
