Love Circus 03:34
Love is a ride Love is a teacup That's spinning in a peculiar way Love is a line Love is the bigtop The sideshow freak's in the lion's cage Anything can happen Falling from your tightrope wire Through the rings of Saturn Into Love Circus Love is the sky Love is a lightbulb That's never dark or needs replacing Love is a crowd To see the snake-boy He doesn't know when he's got it made Anything can happen Falling from your trapeze bar Through the rings of Saturn Into Love Circus Anything can happen Falling from your tightrope wire Through the rings of Saturn Into Love Circus Into Love Circus

Places that I’ve never been Omission is my greatest sin I wonder what I would have said If the words had left my head And if I had you next to me It might have turned out differently When our paths will cross someday Then I know just what to say In places that I’ve never been The time has gone for me to see If we were ever meant to be Wondering what might have been Has left me in the state I’m in And if our paths will cross someday Then I know just what to say I’ll tell you that you were the one And all the things we would have done In places that I’ve never been And when I think of you with him I find myself alone again Another hour of misery Reminds me where I’ll never be And if our paths will cross someday Then I know just what I’d say Until I see her I’ll pretend Thinking of the days we’d spend In places that I’ve never been Places that I’ve never been …

Sun 02:36
Where is light I'm wondering I think it is the sun ... I think it is the sun Where is light I'm wondering I think it is the sun ... I think it's energy Ahh ... I'm wondering ... ahh ... I'm wondering Where it is And where it's gone I'll find it in the sun ... I'll find it in the sun Where it is And where it's gone I'll find it in the sun ... find it in the sun Find it in the sun I'll find it in the sun ... find it in the sun The sun

Floating 03:50
Up high across the sky is a world in love with a dream Way down below lie the cities and roads where nothing is quite what it seems Where people cling to their things and their patterns Floating ... I leave the world in a different way when I'm Floating ... through the stars as they shake the Milky Way Floating ... there's no time to guess what's in your nest when you're floating Amber antennas in lavender skies transmitting orange and red Translucent armies of blue butterflies fluttering under my bed I heard everything that you said in monochrome rainbows Now baby please hold me Floating ... I levitate ten miles above the moon Floating ... I'm hovering in the corner of your room Molting ... the feathers fall - can't keep me down when I'm floating She picks a flower for the March hare who lives beneath the fir tree See through the windowpane he's left his aeroplane to somersault without wings At first I thought it was me till he melted through you Floating ... I disappear into the stratosphear Floating ... you see me here but I'm really over there Floating ... I move through the night like a satellite when I'm floating Back down to life on the ground ... see things the ordinary way To know how it feels to drift over wet fields and ponder the gravity rein Oh, to float off on a wave to be swallowed by clouds

Plasticman 04:48
Life ... as they tried so hard to make me new did they stop to think what I would do if I had known I'd be this way Time ... everyday they say I'm doing fine but there's nothing left except my mind the me I'd known has gone away They've made me what I am ... I'm Plasticman Eyes ... I have polyethylene for mine and I'll never see my kids and wife I want to go home but not this way I know what I am ... I'm Plasticman Now ... as I lay here just collecting dust I'll sleep better knowing I won't rust from all the tears I cannot cry And I know who I am ... I'm Plasticman

On and on and on ...

I could stay here for awhile Understanding all I see See the sun up in the sky look over me Take my hand and walk awhile And I’ll show you all I know And I’ll hold you like I’ll never let you go And the sound that you’re hearing keeps repeating Feel it gently sway Till the feeling around you … like the morning moon Slowly drifts away We could sit and talk awhile About the things we have to do But none of it matters to the morning moon And the sound that you’re hearing keeps repeating In the strangest way Till the feeling around you … like the morning moon Slowly drifts away And the sound that you’re hearing keeps repeating Feel it gently sway Till the feeling around you … like the morning moon Slowly drifts away

Dr. Glouster 03:50
See him on the cobblestones Hobble to his darkened home No one to warn me or inform me of Dr. Glouster Nights in his laboratory Experimental surgery And could it all be a chloroform dream of Dr. Glouster What does he carry What does he bury in the yard See him kneeling in the fog digging in the earth just like a dog What does he carry What does he bury in the yard See him kneeling in the fog digging in the earth just like a dog Another night of working late Among the specimens and crates And from the gurney all I could see was Dr. Glouster Candle burning on a plate I can still recall the place And when they found me all I could scream was Dr. Glouster What does he carry What does he bury in the yard See him kneeling in the fog digging in the earth just like a dog See him kneeling in the fog digging in the earth just like a dog See him kneeling in the fog digging in the earth just like a dog

Be My Guru 03:21
Tuning in to section thirty-three I see your face emerging from the top of the screen Tied up with another asian bombshell Approximately twenty-four AD I felt your yellow presence hanging over me But off you slithered downward like a centipede Twisting off another reject head like me Baby would you be my guru Meanwhile in another part of time Down deserted streets doing capital crimes Committed to his meat he's a real gone guy Spinning through your gyroscopic slide Saddle up girls let's go for a ride Taking turns with the boys in the band Turning me on with your stranger strangeland Baby would you be my guru ... be my guru ... be my guru Baby would you be my guru ... be my guru ... be my guru Viewing you through telescopic eyes Squeezing you down to microscopic size Don't worry man they'll never take you alive Just let me know when I've finally arrived Baby would you be my guru ... be my guru Oh Baby could you ... be my guru

Lost Balloon 05:24
I’m written off without a word And sometimes it makes me cry From where I am it's hard to be heard When the world is passing you by No matter how I try to keep up Shivering without a sigh Dissolving into my cup As the world is passing me by And someday I’ll find my way I believe I will Hear me calling to you I bounce along from rain to sun And follow planes across the sky But things aren’t so easily done When the world is passing you by I drift alone a lost balloon Off through the clouds I fly Up here it’s so very clear That the world is passing me by And someday I’ll find the star That casts me through the sun On my way back to you On my way back to you And someday I’ll find the star That casts me through the sun On my way back to you

Diesel Train 06:23
In our tent we were so sheltered In a backyard summer daydream Transistors set to WKNR 13 Just waiting … I was knocked down by all of the laughter Banana seat bikes in lemon and jaguar Jackets named and supreme wonder The thunder … underground Sitting in our clothesline tent … waiting for the train to come round Sitting in our clothesline tent Endless days being with Kimmy Doing things I haven’t done lately My guitar, honey I miss you Still searching … On the beat with Officer Friendly Convinced himself we were the enemy Mistakenly he let his power Flower … in his head Sitting in our clothesline tent … waiting for the train to come round Sitting in our clothesline tent In clam diggers we were something As 12th street burned from Molotov cocktails In our tent life was still good Waiting … for the sound Sitting in our clothesline tent … waiting for the train to come round Sitting in our clothesline tent ...
