I'm Electric 05:27
As he sat among the trees The Moscow moon in the streets The Master had a choice Should he give this King a voice? The séance held the crowd Money falling on the ground See her passions win the day Magicians, redheads, cats at play, obey! I’m electric with your magic I’m transforming back to morning At the ball she hosts the dead Learning spells, calling maids who fled Catch the moon and fly away Leave the rooftops in your wake, all day I’m electric with your magic I’m transforming back to morning I’m dynamic, it’s not tragic I’m revolving into dawning To paradise they would walk The Master and Margarita talk

I’ve been thinking I’ve been wandering I’ve been moving I’ve been calling All the time Through the rhymes I’ve been traveling I’ve been flying I’ve been dreaming I’ve been crying Through the waves In the caves Give me one more chance together Give me one more day Give me one more chance to better Live my life this way I’ve been chanting I’ve been writing I’ve been talking I’ve been wandering All the days Through the maze I’ve been calling I’ve been sending I’ve been giving I’ve been taking All the nights Through the lights Give me one more chance together Give me one more day Give me one more chance to better Make my life this way I’ve been thinking I’ve been wandering I’ve been moving I’ve been calling All the time Through the rhymes

If there was a time in the days before my mind If there was a wave singing in a cave Silence rings from every mountaintop Echoes fill with the valleys below The ancient towers Call me on the line I will give you time Who invented gold deep beneath the cold? Echoing church bells to the marketplace Mexican skulls for the Day of the Dead As she slept the Virgin Mary Floated into view and then she Glowed with summer clicking her red shoes In the sky the ancient ladies Told her what to do and then she Went upstairs and floated to the moon The ancient towers Hills are calling from the rooftops and Church bells chiming in mountains below Ancient cities with hidden passageways Desert lines glowing spacemen and snow The ancient towers Can I take you there, to the ancient fair?

Shuffling through a High Street portico Walking through a wide screen in Church Row She can’t take the Underground She can walk on air We will see her in Trafalgar Square She can melt the colors in a kiln Saw her in St James Street in a film Research at the library Mail it to the Queen Paint the postbox red on Richmond Green Stamps and coins, she looks quite pretty Primrose Hill or in the City Pretty little steeples in a row I can hold the solar panel She will wait in flowery castles Drawbridge will stay open as she glows Mason’s Yard in shadows, people talk Found her in the bathhouse in Flask Walk Dream her in the gallery Where we are holding hands Let’s meet in the café by the Strand She went up to Hampstead for her health I was going to woo her with my wealth I snuck up to Camden Town To watch her in the breeze But all I got was Queen Elizabeth’s Keys Stamps and coins, she looks quite pretty Primrose Hill or in the City Pretty little steeples in a row I can hold the solar panel She will wait in flowery castles Drawbridge will stay open as she glows Went to Windsor Castle for some gin Her footmen signaled me to come right in As rain bounced off the Curfew Tower Exchanging pleasantries Our dreams were mixing up by small degrees

If you say that I’m an arrow Pointing to the town at dawn Waiting for the mountains to protect us From the sandstorms and the pawns If you leave me here, on my own I will take you to the deep paisley underground You moved out amidst the crumbling of an empire On old the silk road where Blue and red and green and gold were Weaving patterns on the women and the soldiers And the artists and the secret signs across the ocean If you leave me here, on my own I will take you to the deep paisley underground Now the decades have unfolded From the West Coast to the East Shifting continents and magnetic hemispheres And chiming guitars and the weaving of seas If you leave me here, on my own I will take you to the deep paisley underground

Sunlight breaking through the moonlight Daylight floating through my dream night If it is gray, if it is green Well you know it’s not my scene baby I’ll fold in with the light I don’t know where the sky ends I don’t know where I’ve been I don’t know what I’m doing here at all baby You know I’ve got to fly to the sky And catch a ship to dreamtime And you know I want you baby to glow And you know I need you baby to grow And the moon’s unfolding just out of sight Into a blinding jet stream lights up the night Mountains floating by the curtains Captains taking my mind on a flight Doorways to a psychedelic highway Motors away into the gray Sunlight breaking through the moonlight Daylight floating through my dream night If it is gray, if it is green Well you know it’s not my scene baby I’ll fold in with the light

Marlowe 04:29
Marlowe – what is that L.A. sound? Marlowe – why don’t you leave this town? Feelings on your sleeve Won’t leave a mark on you Don’t tell it to the girls in town Hollow – everything up is down You were from a different age Echoes up from the tragic stage Marlowe – where did you get your code? Marlowe – why was the gift bestowed? Writing speaking till sundown Silently working for The Crown Pouring out Four Roses, your other half composes Words just seem to walk downtown to hang around Coffee, shadows, sun goes down Coffee, shadows, all around You were from a different age Echoes up from Elizabethan stage Cambridge, London, it was on Fame called, you were here then gone
8.
Sitting in the bottom of a well Dreaming up the world Twice a day, hey, hey, hey Sunlight unfurled Forced into cartography In Inner Mongolia The outer edge of universes Seems to control ya She imagines maps of the periodic table And invented modernism from my kitchen table Glass, diamonds, multiple facets Sand, carbon, origami magnets She works in green marble walls And lives in crystal ice Manipulating the ivory in my crumbling dice A blue cup of caffeine launches multiple screens A psychedelic balloon in a herringbone sea Toy soldiers, dancing nurses of light Planetariums and ambient jet flights The sun touches down from the sky Horizon magnetizes yellow so high Dressing for the secret agents’ ball The Four Horses of Venice oversee all
9.
Dreaming up from mountainsides Etching patterns in her mind Formosa brought the night Four years, she made it bright Italian dreams, optic seams In Berlin, she came alive To the Dome of Light Every train must first arrive For a kaleidoscopic ride Take her home Disconnect the phone The subtropics are alive Switch into overdrive To the Dome of Light Take the Blue or the Red Line Beating hearts, stages of life Politics, astronomy Earth and light, fire and sea Turning point, ‘79 Echoes hope, the cathedral shines To the Dome of Light
10.
If you believe, if you believe If you believe, if you believe Well, I know Yes, I know The sun never sets It’s only folding A permanent press A fireball patrol wing But the vaults Of Zürich know And the faults Of the Holy Roman ice floe The eagle has eyes To weave through the snowstorm The candles can fly They light up the ocean They will meet On top of the Andes And drummers and drones Will hand out candies If you believe, if you believe If you believe, if you believe Well, I know Yes, I know
