The Prize
The night of a thousand verses
One thousand friends said have you heard
What we expected
We are all working late and
Waiting to win a prize we don't deserve
And live to collect it
Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait
The night of a thousand verses
One thousand strivers strain to hear
A voice that's left us
And the magazines still have to sell us
Twelve mastergeniuses a year
It's all so shameless
Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait
Can't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this news can wait
Maybe there was a message in it
I don't know where you hid it
Maybe there was a piece that will fit
I don't know how to fit it
Tell me what kind of prize can you get
Where you don't want to win it?
Can't you see I'm weary
Maybe this news can wait
Can't you see I'm blurry
Maybe this blues can wait

Brand New Baby
Time, you needed time
Out of the mainstream
Out on your only
Alone to find yourself somehow
So I'm a bit surprised
To see you lately
Beside a brand new baby
Well if it makes you happy now
I guess that's great
I guess you're not mine
Brand new baby beside you now
Oh yeah
I guess that's great
You don't see me cryin'
And there's nobody to slow you down
Oh yeah
If you're feeling sorry
Try to contain it
You don't need to save me
Don't waste your pity anyhow
And you might like to believe
I'm devastated
To see you with your lovin' baby
Well if it makes you happy now
I guess that's great
I guess you're not mine
Brand new baby beside you now
Oh yeah
I guess that's great
You don't see me cryin'
And there's nobody to slow you down
Oh yeah
Seen you with your brand new baby
Sure it fazes me just to hear you laughing
Makes me just a little crazy
But I guess it's a great thing
If it makes you happy now

In The Veins
Red is the ocean which we ride
Carried along on a changing tide
Blind, blind rage and pure delight
Running in the current side by side
Waiting for whatever we haven't tried
Baby it's amazing all the things a self contains
Peace is in the veins, in the veins
Be careful what you put in there
Be careful what you put in there
Heaven transcendence angels fly
Anger and vengance, blue, blue sky
All injected from the mind
Down in the liquid world combined
And your prescription has been signed
Search the wild green outside and inside is what remains
Peace is in the veins, in the veins
Be careful what you put in there
Wide open world there is no mind without you
And a little bit is not enough
Wide open mind divine the world about you
And a little more is not enough
And a little more is not enough
Baby it's amazing all the things a self contains
Peace is in the veins, in the veins
Peace is in the veins, in the veins
Be careful what you put in there
Be careful what you put in there

Wishing Well
Last night I dreamed of falling
Down a wishing well
No one could hear me calling
From where I fell
And from above the ground
I could faintly hear
The world and all her sounds
Songs, vows, playgrounds, tears
I fell in a wishing well
Now the damage is done
And who, who have I become?
Not even angels saw me
From tall starry skies
And then a searchlight shone upon me
Bright in my eyes
For all this time I prayed you might come around
Now stranger I'm afraid
I might call you down
I fell in a wishing well
Now the damage is done
And who, who have I become?
I'm through with my dream come true
And it's just begun
And who, who have I become?
Opened my eyes and woke up twice this morning
Lately getting up has only got me down
Lately there's a place where I can live again
Never leave the ground
I fell in a wishing well
Now the damage is done
And who, who have I become?
I'm through with my dream come true
And it's just begun
Who, who have I become?

Star
I wandered in the moonlight
A ghost without a friend
All around the starlight found are lost and wounded men
I know that I did some damage
I wanted to be home again
So I waited for a star my soul to mend
So I waited for a star my soul to mend
She came a long way to love me
And I'm tasting her spark
She came a long way to kiss me
Now my lips are milk (?)
I know that I don't deserve it
But I want to hear her sigh
And I want to stay here forever in her light
I want to stay forever in her light
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me your lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me your lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite
And there's a dark crater space in heaven
And I might want your name (?)
And there's a bright little place in my head
And darkness blows my mind (?)
I can lie on my back and wonder
Why I've been treated so fine
I'll make love to her while we have tonight
I'll make love to her while we have tonight
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me your lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite
Star you're a beautiful sight
Bring me your lovely light
I'll be a satellite, satellite
I'll be a satellite, satellite
I'll be a satellite, satellite

Sculpture Garden
Twilight in the sculpture garden
When we walk around the place
Look upon the beautiful secrets
That all the artists made
How fast the light has faded
And we still wanna stay
Turn down the noise in the city
The dark downtown parade
At night they turn the water on around the artworks
In the garden
In the garden
Midnight in the sculpture garden
Underneath the cherry moon
We can make our own beautiful secret
We can join the fabled few
Starlight in the sculpture garden
With stainless steel balloon
Rose pedal of a million breezes
I believe the artists knew
At night they turn the water on around the artworks
In the garden
In the garden
In the garden
In the garden
Starlight in the sculpture garden
With stainless steel balloon
Rose pedal of a million breezes

The Gift
It's a hurting desire strong and sweet
Memory so pretty I can hardly say
You thought I was sleeping as you walked to the street
You gave what you wanted then you went away
Did you mean what you did
Would you give it again
What you gave as a gift, a gift
I went on a mission to the town where you lived
Dark, dusty places you've not seen in awhile
I want to seek the basements where you hid
I want to see your face as a little child
Did you mean what you did
Would you give it again
What you gave as a gift, a gift
Did you mean what you did
Could you give it again, never again
What you gave as a gift, a gift
