You want to take your time You wanted me to fight I don't cross the line I'm not of your kind You want to take the road With the highest toll Your shoulder's growing cold I think I'll go it alone I think I'll go it alone If you wore a cape that was scarlet red I wouldn't be afraid I wouldn't be a friend If you wore a cape You wanted me to dance You wanted me to fight I don't take the chance I won't swallow your knives You wanted me to pull You wanted me to push But I'm not your bull No matter how good it looks No matter how good it looks If you wore a cape that was scarlet red I wouldn't be afraid I wouldn't be a friend If you wore a cape

In the dark of the night We talk of light This spool of hope Don't spin alone In times of dread One weaves one mends This trait of man This trait we have Now that your gone We're on our own Without your words Our story turns To the tongues of the liars To take away our fire But in the dark of the night We talk of light This spool of hope Don't spin alone Now that your gone We're on our own No going home We're on our own

Not even China could penetrate the sky line With its satellites connected to our minds But maybe Russia has a bit of snow white For the fire works in the shape of dandelions In Quebec city we drank a bit of wine On top of cannons blasting through the night sky It was so windy a little less than satisifed It was so shitty we began to cry And I swear nothing's wrong But the words we sing along Don't connect to out hearts With a flame or a spark This is sad, I know This is sad, oh how I know Not even China could penetrate the sky line With its satellites connected to our minds But maybe Italy has a bit of surprise For the fireworks in the shape of dandelions One thousand miles we had to drive For the fireworks not hidden from our eyes It was the first and the last time We saw the fireworks not hidden from our eyes And I swear nothing's wrong But the words we sing along Don't connect to out hearts With a flame or a spark This is sad, I know This is sad, oh how I know

Sun sets, sun rises as I wander through the valley And nothing is ever as it seems Is ever as it seems I met a lass in the garden and she made me feel like heaven But when she left I was in Calgary When I see her face in a crystal blue lake You know I just want to believe I just want to believe That I crossed this crowded city I sailed this empty sea I got as high as I ever could To get to the bottom of me The bottom of me Wind rushes as it draws, colours flicker in the current And the sun sets for as long as our hearts convene For as long as our hearts convene I met a lass in the garden and she made me feel like heaven But when she left I was in Sault Ste. Marie When I see her face in a crystal blue lake You know I just want to believe I am part of a dream I am part of a dream, I am part of a dream I am part of dream that is stuck on repeat I am part of a dream, I am part of a dream Where I crossed this crowded city I walked this barren land I ran away as fast as I could To find out what makes a man Just what makes a man

Johnny's got a future in medicine If he tries real hard he won't have to pretend That he can heal the sadness with his voice He always treats his patients for nothing but free Spreading around his loving to you and me Whenever Johnny teaches he learns Nobody knows where he's gone Nobody knows where he's gone Ever since the age of five he heard our heart beats beating alive He was in our souls before we knew that we were hurt Well when ever the days got rough He said just a little loving was never enough You know that Johnny would die for the oath Late one night, Johnny lost the love of his life He prayed that she would become his masterpiece Instead she slipped deep into our memory And Johnny fled, he took a scalpal to his chest Nobody knows where he's gone Nobody knows where he's gone

I fell in love on Sunday morning in the bible belt The sun was shining through like a star lost in orbit I'm an astronaut who fell in love with the moon Our paradigms were at the edge of a tectonic plate She told me not to move and "In time they will finally learn to hate the hate. We will be coming soon". All the ones and the zeroes fell into the way of The power of colour that lies behind our face When Sunday came I'd be watching from across the street Just to see her face "Let me in. Won't tell my parents that they lectured me like I was one of their kids". Through the stain I telescoped into an angel's hymn: "Because of who you are" When apples fall no one gives a shit that gravity works They just want to fall All the ones and the zeroes fell into the way of The power of colour that lies behind our face All that lies behind our face

Where you been? Where you going? Who you talking to? Where'd you get those clothes? Where'd you get that tone? Don't look at me that way, like you've been eating from silver You're still the same, you're just a different kind of killer When you fell from the sky, who took you in? No need to cry, you just began to begin You saw the world through our eyes, you could talk to the forest Now you feed me their lies, don't tell me what's important You belong to us If man was so good, how'd you end up here? You are guided by love, they are driven by fear Though we might not see the truth through our own blood You stand where you stand cause you're a father's son If you must say good bye please say it slow Cause when I look in your eyes you can never let go Of the earth you touch, please understand You are king of the jungle, not another man
