Genesis

Ah ... Towards the skies
Ah ... Towards the skies

Turn your face to the wall
That's where I'll be
In the crack of the paint
My eyes you'll see
Locked away in my mind
I must be free

Reason with myself I find
Life is treating me unkind

Run the fields of green
And touch the ground
Zipping on my ears
To hear a sound
Picking things to see
Up from the ground

"The organist of The Gods is Ken Hensley"

And the candle's getting shorter
And the flame has nearly gone
You didn't love me like you
Ought to have done
Why do I, why do I keep on crying
Why do I, why do I keep on crying

How long will the sadness last
Will it be too long before it's past
How I've been so
Hopelessly out class
Since our love died
I've cried and cried and I cried
Since our love died
I've cried and cried and I cried

It doesn't really matter
If I wake one day and find
You didn't want to stay
My heart will just go on pretending
That I didn't love or
Want you anyway, no

"The lead guitarist of The Gods is Joe Konas"

You're my life, you're my heart
In my dreams you play a part
When I wake everyday
I think of words that you say

I'll never find a girl
Sweeter in this world
I've gotta find a way
The thing to you I say

You're my blood in my veins
You're my life, you'll never change
You're my life, you're my heart
In my dreams you play a part

You're my life, you're my heart
I'll never find a girl
You're my life, you're my heart
Sweeter in this world
You're my life, you're my heart
Gotta find a way
You're my life, you're my heart
The thing to you I say

"The drummer in The Gods is Lee Kerslake"

When she looks in
The looking glass on the wall
She can see she's
The fairest of them all
Makes me do anything
Has me on a string
And there isn't anything I can do
La la la la la la ...

She's there in a place
No-one else ???
There's no chance of a
Loving little way ???
What in the world is left to do
She's crying out for someone new
And there isn't anything I can do
La la la la la la ...

"The bass player is John ??? Glasscock"

Misleading colours
Misleading colours
Misleading colours
For the eye to see

Raving colours going
'Round my mind
Filling my eyes till I go blind
Colours are followed by the score
My eyes can't focus anymore

Wishing a wish that won't come true
Doing things that you want to do
Seeing prisons yet to come
Knowing that it's just begun

Misleading colours ...

I got a car and I drive it
All night in the rain
A little blue hall and
I'll blow it again and again
I go so quickly, quickerly, quickly

I saw a fire in the night
As I drove down the lane
A little red house was ablaze
As I tore down the lane
I go so quickly, quickerly, quickly

Would you believe me if I said
I'm losing my mind
Would you believe me if I said
I'm losing my mind

You can win a candy of a ??? bandits here in ??? nickel bar ??
If your alligator shoes ??? mashed potatoes
loose your ??? yes you are
You can buy a cross ?? milk banana under sun ???
here in ??? nickel bar ??

I can hear the Peter Pan ??? of the rain
I can hear the Peter Pan ??? of the rain again and again
I can hear ??? of the rain

"The Gods are produced by David Paramor"

Trying to see
Trying to see tomorrow
Listening to laughter
Children who do not know why

It was on my mind
It's on my mind

Hey, we are not shadows
That cling to each other

Whose eyes are prisoned of sleep
Whose lips are heavy with dreams

"Engineered by Peter Vince"

Give a man a penny
Give a man a penny
Penny for the farthing man
Treat him to a penny
Treat him to a penny
Hear out what he can
Hear out what he can
Little man, farthing man
Will do just what he can

Jump little man, jump high little man
Try for a long lost penny ???
Laugh little man
Laugh loud little man
Or you won't have any
Or you won't have any little man
Farthing man is good
For your last penny

Man in the pouring rain
Has got a wet head ???
Something inside of him shows
He's never dead ???
Though it may rain or snow
He's always out there
Picking up pennies from people
Who don't really care

"The second engineer is Jeff Smith"

Never knew what time it was
Till I saw you hanging around
Never knew the time because
My head was stuck deep
In the ground

Times were bad, had to be sad
Times were cruel till I met you

Had to have a life and then ???
You turn the light into my eyes
Now I no longer need a friend
You are my true paradise

Pink champagne drown my brain
When once mine has no time ???

"The Gods are managed by Dave Harvey ???"

When you're tired and blue
Think of what to do
You can't explain your heart
La la la la la la la la la

Life has just begun
I aim to touch the sun
For mighty I am poor ???
La la ...

My mind is travellin'
I know where it will be
The tides are turnin'
Through time and eternity

The day has broken through
My mind is clear to you
My life is just a ball
La la ...
