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

Life This Way
04:32
|
|||
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

Ancient Towers
04:06
|

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?

Queen Elizabeth's Keys
04:30
|
|||
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

Deep Paisley Underground
05:10
|
|||
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

Fold with the Light
05:16
|
|||
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

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

Dome of Light
04:32
|
|||
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

If You Believe
04:55
|
|||
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
