Dark star crashes,
pouring its light into ashes.
Reason tatters,
the forces tear loose from the axis.
Searchlight casting
for faults in the clouds of delusion.
Shall we go,
you and I while we can
through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

Mirror shatters
in formless reflections of matter.
Glass hand dissolving
to ice petal flowers revolving.
Lady in velvet
recedes in the nights of goodbye.
Shall we go,
you and I while we can
through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

In a while I'll find the time to make the sunshine mine
In a smile I saw a single needle in the sky
Wheeling, soaring, gliding by

On a hill a little man with many shining things
Shiny pool, a shiny car and shiny diamond rings
Wining, dining, shining king

And the eagle flies in clear blue skies
Breathing in the clear blue air
Back here on the ground another dealer coughs and dies
And fifty more come rolling off
The Ford production line

Then a man appearing like up in our on the sand
In his hand a moving picture of the crumbling land
Screaming, scheming, movie man

Here we go, hold your nose and see if something blows
Close your eyes, count to ten and see the sunrise rise
Climbing, higher, to the sky

Climbing all the birds a lake the dove the lies
On the finger of the king
On high the eagle spies the glitter of a gun
And wheeling in a climbing turn he flies into the sun

I was dancing with my darling
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happen to see
Introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night
And the Tennesse Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

I was dancing with my darling
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happen to see
Introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night
And the Tennesse Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

You can do what you want to do
You can be who you want to be
Just remember that me and you
Ain't all there is
To bein' free

People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
My sugar babe
Believe me sugar babe

Everyone knows it ain't easy
But when you get it all together in your heart
It's the easiest thing to do to be pleasin'
Folks ain't made to live apart

People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
Sugar babe

Let yourself be open honey learn to bend
Remember everyone gets scared,
But I'm still your best friend
When you forget about yourself,
And think of things to do
To make me happy then you love me girl
Like I love you
How do turtles talk to one another
They just look, there's no reason to cower
Just like people they're drawn to each other
They don't live in no ivory tower

People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
My sugar babe
Come on now sugar babe
You know you hear me sugar babe
Come on sweet Rita
You're my sugar babe
Believe me sugar babe

So close, then again so far away
Where are the answers, I hear them everyday
Lovin' you from a distance never did make it anyway

So close, then again so far away
Here come little Miss Bright eyes
Socking it to me everyday
I got to get next to the girl
Or I got to get away.

He made his way to the border
In the shadow under the trees
Down by a stream in a hollow
Turn your head, feel the breeze

And the Red Queen was waiting for the news
For the White King to move.
And the [balance howled] upon the head of one who tried
To stay within the shadows
And keep his [undercover] secret [tide].

They let him in by a back way
Into a chamber reserved for the Queen.
She took the note that he gave her,
Opened it slowly, and started to read.

"Unto the treasury and bring me back some gold,
Give it to the pawn who came!" she cried.
"He says the White King thinks the game of chess is [wrong]."
And all the courtiers crowded round
and this is what she told the gathered throng.

"Go to the stone by the dungeon;
Take all the red paint, take all the white.
Make up a newborn colour.
Cover your neighbor, we'll be all right."

"There will be no game today!" she cried across the board.
"Everyday will be a holiday!"
And all the pieces cheered as tidings spread abroad
And the Pink Queen sat, and smiled as the [cadre? or cat or captain?] smiled back.
