SHE SHOOK ME COLD

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes,
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face,
with the man who sold the world.

I laughed and shook his hand
and made my way back home
I searched for form and land
for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long long time ago

Who knows, no me
We never lost control
You're face to face
with the man who sold the world

Who knows, not me,
we nenver lost control
You're face to face
with the man who sold the world.

THE SUPERMEN

When all the world was very young
and mountain magic heavy hung
Supermen would walk in file
Guardians of the loveless isle
And gloomy brow with super fear
Their endless tragic endless lives could heave nor sign
In solemn, perverse serentity
Wonderous beings chained to life

Strange games they would play then
No death for the perfect men
Life rolls into one for them
So softly a superGod cries

When all were minds in unithough
Powers weird by mistics taught
No pain no joy no power too great
colossal strength to grasp our fate
where sad eyed mermen tossed in slumber
Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
man would tear his brother's flesh
a chance to die, to turn to mold

Far out in the red sky
Far out from the sad eyes
Strange, mad celebrations
So sofly a superGod dies.

Far out in the red sky
Far out from the sad eyes
Strange, mad celebrations
So softly a superGod dies.
