1. IMAGES

Memories surround them
Walking through the door
Smells of dust and summer heat
Embroidering his thoughts

The seeing hand
The face of fate
The shifting scenes I can't explain
The crazy fool who screams his pain
As he tries to cheat life's final game

Whispering from the balcony
Fingers in the hall
The well worn path of alternity
Appearing here once more

It's gone now
It's gone now
Twists the soul
Turns Flesh to stone
The fear and the anger
Of the lost, and alone

Endless dreams of wasted days
Slowly fades away
Laughter echoes bitterly
There's no need to stay


2. BLACK ELK SPEAKS

Grandfather, Great Mysterious One,
You have been always,
and before you nothing has been.
There is nothing to pray to but you.
The star nations all over the universe are yours.
And yours are the grasses of the earth.
Day in Day out, you are the light of things.
You are older than all weeds.
Older than all things on Earth.
Grandfather, all over the world,
the faces of living things are all alike.
In tenderness they have come above the ground.
Look upon your children with children in their arms,
that they may face the winds
and walk the good road to the day of quiet.
Teach me to walk the soft earth,
a relative to all that is!
Sweeten my heart and fill me with life.
Give me the strength to understand,
and the eyes to see.
Help me, for without you I am nothing.
Hetchetu aloh!


3. WINGS

I could see their dying note
In the sky that is so old
I remember where they once flew
Where they sang to the morning dew

Now their wings are soaked in oil
Caged wings that can't unfurl
No longer do we hear them sing
No longer do we hear the fluttering
Of wings

Underneath the iron bird
Their song cannot be heard
Above the human sound
Above the poisoned ground


4. OUT OF THE SHADOWS

Out of the shadows
And into the light
Out of the background
And into the fight
Out of the jungles
And back on the streets
Out of the blizzard
And into the heat

Out of the rat race
Into the lagoon
Out of the stone age
And onto the moon
Out of the nameless
Onto the front page
Out of the basement
Onto the Stage

Out of the rainbow
Into the black
Out of the foxhole
And into the flak
Out of the shelters
Under the bomb...

6. SHIP OF DREAMS

Sail upon a ship of dreams
Goes nowhere not all it seems
You out there might try to ask
A question about your daily tasks
But I look neither right nor left
Sail upon the dreams of death
The only boat you travel on
Is the one-way ticket home
And I look neither right nor left
Not until all is said

Sailing upon the Ship of Dreams
It goes nowhere, not all it seems


7. T.V. SUICIDE

All our life
Is squarely pictured
An eye on the world
It's no mystery
Grazing with the handset
Is a nightly feature
Everything I need is on my TV
Talk, Talk, Hard Sell
Infrared Remote Control
our finger is on the button
But whose got your soul?
Talk, Talk, Hard Sell,
Come on down the price is hell
Can you tell the difference?
Talk, Talk, Hard Sell,
Come on down the price is hell
Ha Ha You can't get better
Talk, Talk, Hard Sell,
Come on down the price is hell
Hit pain where it hurts
Talk, Talk, Hard Sell,
Come on down the price is hell
Don't hold back
Talk, Talk, Hard Sell,
Come on down the price is hell
Have I ever let you down?
Talk, Talk, Hard Sell,
Come on down the price is hell
Trust Me, Trust Me
Talk, Talk, Hard Sell,
Come on down the price is hell
