A Man Apart

From sea to shining sea.
From the oil- wells of Texas to Alaska's last tree.
No man has ever done it quite like me.
So powerfully.
Look at me I'm making history.
So beautifully.
Alexander the Great.
Napoleon Bonaparte.
Take a look at me I'm a man apart.
Solid gold hair, solid gold heart.
Won't you love me and adore me .
I'm a man apart.
Stalin and Adolf.
Oh baby they were way, way off.
Chairman Mao and crazy Pol Pot
and that greedy bastard Bernie Madoff
on my white steed.
Like Marshall Zhukov.
Don't give them nothing.
Give them the lot.
Koestler, C G Jung, Rene Descartes
Study my anatomy I'm a man apart.
Solid gold teeth, solid gold heart.
Down on your knees.
I'm a man apart.
Liberte. Fraternite Egalite.
The wall's too high for them to see.
See no man's ever done it quite like me.
Hey look at me.
I'm the very model of propiety.
Masked in a shroud of controversy
J. C , Socrates and John Paul Sartre.
All would concur I'm a man apart.
Solid gold eyes and solid gold heart.
I'm something special.
I'm a man apart.

GO -
AWAY-
HOME...
Think I'm going crazy
I can't hack it anymore.
Can't see no solution.
Or what it's all for.
The ice is cracking beneath my feet.
Stretched thin by the cold.
By the heat.
See it in their eyes.
Yes everybody knows.
You don't need your glasses.
See the emperor's new clothes.
I wish ,I wish upon a star.
The coming storm don't wash me too far.
See how we dance.
Around our fire.
Lost in the madness.
The flames grow higher
GO-
AWAY-
HOME....

Get Along

I think its time.
I heard him say.
You and I went our separate ways.
We built our nest.
In the wrong damn tree.
Now its the end, the end of you and me.
So get your red dress on and get along.
One more time.
Keep the car.
Keep the kids.
Keep my clothes , nothing fits.
Our love is spent.
We're over the hill.
And what we're at is just overkill.
So put your leather boots on and get along.
One more time.
Now I may appear.
To be unmoved.
How many times does it need to be proved ?
Shedding tears.
It's not my style.
Soon they'll be flowing single file.
So get your black lace on and get along.
One more time.

The Missing Girl
04:09

On a stair or a step.
Where her footprint was.
A pretty painted wall.
That echoed her voice.
A yellowing page.
With coloured kittens claws.
Take a different road,
Make a difficult choice,
And then to wake,
To wash to dress,
To eat to drink.
To breathe the same air.
To speak to a pillow.
Goodnight , God bless.
To fall to your knees.
Scream in despair.
With each passing day.
Her ghost is formed.
Forever falling.
From the family tree.
Hope it flickers.
A match in a howling storm.
Futile sacrifice.
Not you take me.
See the Phoenix rises.
Rising from the ashes.
Its flames cannot..
Cannot be extinguished.
Forever it burns.
Forever it crashes.
Its power never relinquished.

Who You Gonna Be

Baby , baby ,baby , who you gonna be ?
Take a pot- shot.
You might hit something of worth.
Could be famous or notorious.
A face on a million t-shirts.
Make a bundle.
The more you got.
The happier you get.
Hey! King of the jungle.
In your heart-shaped pool.
And private Lear jet.
Baby , baby , baby , who you gonna be ?
A deal with no catch.
All contracts null and void.
No souls to bargain with.
No conscience to destroy.
A big fish splashing in the puddle.
You're sucking out holes.
In the atmosphere.
The globe darkens.
It's in a muddle.
Still there's nothing for you to fear.
Baby , baby , baby ,who you gonna be ?
