Firesign
(Bach, Bolan, Hill, Snake)
Sailing ships go through my mind
Past wreckage on the way
Glory seekers fall in line
Getting closer
Summer laugh, some will cry
What will summer bring!
Some will take her by the reins
And ride the suffering
(Bridge)
On a carousel through my yesterdays
Doubt sees the obstacles
Faith sees the way
(Repeat 2x)
(Chorus)
All the ways you kill me
They've begun to thrill me
Nothing there fulfills my firesign
Brotherhood betrayal,
Sabotage to no avail
Nothing there can kill my firesign
Beaten, burned , I'll take the fall
And get up right in your face
Walk all over what I believe
But I'm still here, you disappear
Without a trace
No need to follow, no need to lead
No need to beg or borrow
I just need to be me
(Repeat Bridge 2x)
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
Remains To Be Seen
(Bolan, Hill, Snake)
Shy a quarters headroom
I saw the
Half-moon was burning down
Play with your reflection 'cause
And infection is going around
Dive head-on into me, Dive head-on into me
Dive head-on into me, Dive head-on into me
Meet my neighbor's widow, a black and
Bluedoe, she's up a tree
Trip, the lightning spastic
Captain Fantastic. The nineteen seventies
Dive head-on into you, Dive head-on into you
Dive head-on into you, Dive head-on into you
Bury the news with the views from
behind
the door
Rattle the bones with the drones at the
Corner store--see them for myself
Commies, kinks and masochists
Weirdos, love and homicide
Witches, freaks and 45s
Kick a painted pony let the spinning wheel ride
Medecine Jar
(Bolan, Hill, Snake)
Caught the mother jack knifin'
A little bit low lifin'
Goin' twenty paces with the medicine man
Runnin' from the girl in pigskin
A little gun shy but shootin'
Hidin' in the kitchen with his head in his hand
Bleed, me--why can't you say what you mean?
(Chorus)
How far has it gone, it didn't take you long
To put your hand in the medicine jar
In your private hell, now you've found yourself
In the hands of the medicine jar
Sittin' here with all your bitchin'
Cookin' up a new addiction
Prayin' that the light of day ain't wakin' the dead
Droppin' like a bomb on Hiro
Shakin' like San Francisco
Only to be diggin' out to do it again
Bleed, me--why can't you say what you mean?
(Repeat Chorus)
Make it go away, make it go a--way
Caught the mother jack knifin'
A little bit of low lifin'
Goin' twenty paces with the medicine man
Droppin' like the bomb on Hiro
Shakin' like San Francisco
Hidin' in the jungle with your head in the sand
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
One step from bein' free, what did you think
You'd see at the bottom of the medicine jar
Ironwill
(Affuso, Bolan, Hill, Snake)
Life comes and goes, quick as does the day
Greed, for those who know is just a step away
Time's a breathing bomb, going with the flow
Stand atop it all outside the status quo
No see, no speak then know where you're goin'
Drag your feet then nothing you're showin'
Take your place or fall to the lions
Lose your face and stand where you're dying
(Chorus)
Living in a hole is taking its toll
My iron will's in position
Seize you are not owed, stand or fall
And refuse to be denied
Pride is all in vain without the blood of need
Bones can break in shame from taking charity
Hide from all the hell and wash up with the tide
Wait and you commit psychological suicide
Break the molds of beg and submission
Wake the dead or no one will listen
Holding ground is just the beginning
It's uphill bound and in for the killing
(Repeat Chorus)
