DANDELION HEART
YOU WANDERED IN TO MY GREEN
WITH A SMILE OF LEMON CREAM
YOU STOLE THE SHOW
WITH YOUR HAIR THROWN TO THE SKY
AND I WONDER WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN
NOMAD CHILD OF GILDED SIN
I LONG TO KNOW
BUT I SHOULDN'T EVEN TRY
chorus
GO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO
AND TRAVEL WIDE
TILL YOU FIND THE SEED THAT MOVES YOU
IT'S A CARELESS WIND YOU GLIDE
WHAT WILL BECOME OF YOU
ONCE THEY PULL US APART
MY DEATH DEFYING DANDELION HEART
verse two
GIRL YOU DOVE AQUAMARINE
ON A WAVE OF LIFE UNSEEN
HOW HIGH YOU'VE GROWN
WITH YOUR HEAD RAISED TO THE CLOUDS
WHAT COULD YOU THINK OF ME
PLANTED WITH THESE BROKEN WEEDS
I WANT YOUR GOLD
BUT YOU SHOULDN'T BE SO PROUD
chorus
bridge
SOMEDAY SOMETIME
THERE'LL COME A RECKONING
WHEN THEY WILL TRY TO ROOT YOU DOWN
SO TRAVEL WILD
BEFORE THEIR BECKONING
NO FRUIT WILL BEAR ON WASTED GROUND
chorus

SOLAR CIRCLE GIRL
I WONDER IF SHE KNOWS SHE MAKES ME FLY
CIRCLE ROUND THE SUN SOLO
BEACON IN THE INDIGO
IF EVER SHE WOULD CHANCE TO MEET MY EYE
I WOULD SLAVE FOR HER CONTENT
MOVE THE PLANETS IF SHE SAID
CAN'T IMAGINE THAT I TOLD HER
ALL I WANNA DO IS HOLD HER IN MY ARMS
MY SOLAR CIRCLE GIRL
I'M SWIMMING IN CARAMEL CLOUDS
BEYOND HER GOLDEN HUE
CIRCLE ON A PLAYGROUND TUNE
DRUNK UPON HER AFTERGLOW
I'M DEVIL IMPERFECT FOUND
UNDER HER MICROSCOPE
HUMBLE CREATURES HAVE NO HOPE
WITH DAYDREAMS THAT THEY'LL NEVER HOLD
IF SHE KNOWS
THEN I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
IF I SHOW HER
THEN THESE FEELINGS
WILL HAVE THEIR OWN SAY
I RESIGN TO FIND
SHE'LL NEVER REALIZE
THAT I WANT HER
ROUND IN LIMBO I WILL PLAY
CAN'T IMAGINE THAT I TOLD HER
ALL I WANNA DO IS HOLD HER IN MY ARMS
MY SOLAR CIRCLE GIRL...

Hey Napoleon

HEY NAPOLEON
IT'S BEEN GOING AROUND
ABOUT THE MAN WHO FRONTS THE MINISTRY
HE'S THE TALK OF THE TOWN
HE'S THE SHEPHERD OF OUR PROSPERITY
EVERYBODY HAS EVERYTHING WANTED AND MORE
EVERYBODY HAS A GLORIOUS FUTURE IN STORE
AND HE WATCHES WITH GOD ON HIS SIDE
OVER GOLDEN FIELDS AND NEIGHBORHOODS
HE'S TRYING HIS BEST TO HANG ON TO HIS POWER
HE'S TRYING HIS BEST TO REMAIN IN HIS FLOWER
HEY NAPOLEON, JUST A FATHER'S SON
AND HIS BLOOM WILL FADE
WHEN OUR GRACIOUS BREATH BLOWS COLD
IT'S BEEN GOING AROUND
ABOUT THE SCANDAL IN THE MINISTRY
SHE'S THE TALK OF OUR TOWN
IT'S A DIATRIBE IN SYMPHONY
EVERYBODY HAS SOMETHING TO SPIT IN HER FACE
EVERYBODY HAS A MARTYR FOR HIS DISGRACE
AND HE WATCHES WITH BLOOD ON HIS PRIDE
AS THE SKY FALLS DARK UPON HIS BROOD
HE'S TRYING HIS BEST TO BE MAN OF THE HOUR
HE'S TRYING HIS BEST TO HOLD ONTO HIS TROUSERS
HEY NAPOLEON, HUSBAND NUMBER ONE
HE WON'T MAKE THE GRADE
WHEN OUR LOVE IS BOUGHT AND SOLD
NO FILTHY END IN HIS EYES
IT'S ONLY LIGHT FATHER LEFT BEHIND
IN A LITTLE BOY WITH TINY SHOES
HE BETTER TOE THE LINE
BEFORE WE ARE THRU
HE'S TRYING HIS BEST TO HANG ON TO HIS POWER
HE'S TRYING HIS BEST TO BE FREE OF HER FLOWER
HEY NAPOLEON, JUST A FAVORITE SON
AND HER BLOOM WILL FADE
WHEN OUR GRACIOUS BREATH BLOWS COLD

THIS WON'T BE HOME SOMEDAY
WHEN HE GOT HOME FROM THE OFFICE
THE HOUR TURNED UP LATE
HIS DINNER ONCE SO PICTURESQUE
SAT MUGSHOT ON ITS PLATE
HE TRIED TO TELEPHONE HER
CONNECTION NEVER CAME
INSTEAD HE FOUND A TEARDROP LETTER
GIFTED WITH HIS NAME
AND SHE SAID THIS WON'T BE HOME SOMEDAY
I DON'T THINK THAT I HAVE THE STRENGTH
TO MAKE ME WANT TO STAY
CAUSE I KNOW THIS WON'T BE HOME
FOR THE FOOL I SEE
IN YOUR MIRROR COLOR EYES
AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE
WHEN HE MADE IT TO THE BEDROOM
HE FOUND IT WAS LAID BARE
THE FOUR WALLS THAT HAD FRAMED THEIR INSTINCT
LEFT NOTHING WARM TO SHARE
AS HE STEPPED INTO THE BATHROOM
TO CHECK HIS IVORY FACE
HER PARTING WORDS BEAT IN HIS MELON
LIKE AN ANVIL FEELS THE MACE
TO OUR STORY BUNGALOW
CAMELOT WILL FACE THE CROW
WHERE'S THE PROFIT
IN THIS WAGE TO SHOW
HE TUMBLED BACK INTO THE KITCHEN
TO FIND SHE HAD RETURNED
THRU CRASHING WAVES OF TEARS SHE PLEADED
FORGIVENESS THAT SHE YEARNED
AS SHE THREW HER ARMS TOWARD HIM
TO CAPTURE HIS EMBRACE
HE WONDERED IN UNCERTAIN HEART
IF THIS WOULD BE THEIR FATE

SOMETHING TRUE
TALK TO ME
IN OUR WELCOME SANCTUARY

NEVER CAN TELL
THEY WATCH US IN THE RHYTHM LIGHTS
THAT COME FROM SOME FORGOTTEN PLACE
THEY FOLLOW EVERY COURSE WE STRIDE
WITH EERIE LUMINESCENT GRACE
AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME
THEN YOU MAY NEVER UNDERSTAND
BUT IF YOU TRY YOU'LL REALIZE
STRANGERS LIVE IN STRANGER LANDS
IN THIS WORLD WE MARCH ON ANTHILL WORKER BRAVE
BUT THERE ARE WORLDS
FAR BEYOND OUR HEEL THAT WE CAN'T SUBJUGATE
WHEN WE SLEEP AT NIGHT
IF THERE'S ONE THING IN YOUR LIFE THAT IS CERTAIN
THERE ARE DREAMS THAT YOU NEVER CAN TELL
IF ONE THING IN YOUR LIFE IS FOR CERTAIN
THERE ARE DREAMS THAT YOU NEVER CAN TELL
THEIR TELEPATHIC DARKROOM SMILES
ARE CURIOUS ELECTRIC MOONS
IN CRESCENT PATH ON EARTHEN MIND
THAT TAKE US TO THE END OF TRUTH
AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME
THEN YOU MAY NEVER COMPREHEND
BUT IF YOU TRY YOU'LL REALIZE
THE GATHERING IS HERE, MY FRIEND
IN THIS WORLD WE TRAMPLE ON CHIMERA FAITH
BUT THERE ARE WORLDS
FAR BEYOND OUR STEEL THAT WE CAN'T DESECRATE
WHEN WE SLEEP AT NIGHT
FOR THERE ARE THOSE WHO CAN'T RECEIVE
THE WONDER IN THE MISSING TIME
IN BATTLE PRIZE FOR YOUR RELIGION
THEY WILL FIGHT
REALIZE IN THIS WORLD WE MARCH LIKE ANTHILL WORKER SLAVES
BUT THERE ARE WORLDS
FAR BEYOND OUR HEEL THAT THEY CAN'T TAKE AWAY
WHEN WE SLEEP AT NIGHT

BELOVED INFIDEL
BELOVED INFIDEL
THOUGHT I KNEW YOU WELL
BUT YOUR LAUNDRY BLACKENED ON THE VINE
AND RIVERS RAGE WHEN I WANT TO CRY
BUT THEY ONLY SERVE TO WASH ME FAR AWAY
BELOVED INFIDEL
BELOVED INFIDEL
WHAT BECAME MY BELLE
OF YOUR PROMISE GONE IN MERCHANT NIGHT
DIDN'T KNOW ANOTHER BOUGHT YOUR EYE
NOW I FIND THE GREATEST PRICE I HAVE TO PAY
BELOVED INFIDEL
IN FLAME WE DANCED TO THE SKY
NOW I BURN THE BOOK OF ROSES
ENGRAVED IN YOUR NAME
AND THE PAGES BRITTLE BY
THRU A WIND BORNE SO UNKIND
AND THE CLOUDS THAT SHADOW BEAR YOUR SHAME
BELOVED INFIDEL
TURNING DAYS WILL TELL
IF YOUR CHOICES CRUMBLE ON RECEIPT
OF THE FABLE TOLD ABOUT THE HANDSOME THIEF
AND THE STRANDED MAN WHO WAS BEST UPON HIS WAY
BELOVED INFIDEL

THIS IS THE DAY
THIS IS THE DAY
THAT I DON'T WANT YOU ANYMORE
NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
THIS IS THE DAY
THIS IS THE DAY
WHEN I DECIDE IT'S TIME TO QUIT
THOSE SILLY GAMES WE PLAY
THIS IS THE DAY
AND I BELIEVE THAT IT IS FINE
TO STOP PRETENDING
WE NEVER DID BELIEVE IN US ANYWAY
I'VE HAD MY FILL OF UPS AND DOWNS
THEY'RE NEVER ENDING
SO I'LL JUST GO AWAY
THIS IS THE DAY
THIS IS THE DAY
WHEN OUR WHITE LIES BURN TO THE CORE
NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
THIS IS THE DAY
THIS IS THE DAY
WHEN WE WILL FIND OUR MATCH UNLIT
AND COLOR FADES TO GRAY
THIS IS THE DAY
