Pressure's building
The air is calm but electrostatically charged
There's a storm on the way
All voices now agree
On a notion to convene somewhere warm to hide
Can it crack these walls?
[suspenseful pause]
I'll take to the sky
I know I'm not strong as a vulture in the sky
I just want to survive
Kaleidoscoping the prize
Should be loving the life of a still life
We cannot crack these walls
Sing me a map that would last
Would you like shelter from the rain?
You and I are not so different
We both want to survive

I'm Sent Away
Hey my old friend
It's been a few years since I've last thought about you
But do you remember those days
When all we needed was some paper
And an imaginative mind
I'm sent away
I'm sent away
I'm sent away
I'm just writing to let you know
I live on a different planet now
I'm not sure we'll meet again
I don't think I'd recognise you
But do you remember those days?
When all we needed was some paper
And an imaginative mind
I'm sent away
I'm sent away
I'm sent away

Constellations
Well you ask me where I'm from
And it is anywhere but here
But that's not what I tell you
Watching constellations all around
'till moments get old
I'll find a place
And when the day is through
I see constellations all across the space
When moments get old
I'll find a place for you

On a Cruise
On a cruise somewhere, sometime
Jesus and Mohammed stepped into the skybar
Hey baby it seems tonight
It's not hard to identify
It's a UFO
So the ship it sailed all the seas
So many cities of angels to see
And they started talking about the sky
Metaphysics is great when you're high
Hey baby it seems tonight
It's not hard to identify
It's a UFO
It's a UFO..

Dark Globe
(originally written by Syd Barrett)
Oh, pussy willow where are you now?
When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down treading the sand
Please, please
Please lift a hand
I'm only a person who's armband's beads on his hands hang tall
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?
The poppybird sways, swings twigs coffee brands around
Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down treading the sand
Please, please
Please lift a hand
I'm only a person who's eskimo chained
I tattood my brain all the way
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?
[Yeah, so, I changed a word. Artistic leeway courtesy of originally misheard lyric.]

Tundragliding
(What's all this noise? Oh, well if it's music let me play you something from where I am from.)
They call me the listener
I come from far away to check on your resource management
I'm 99
I can climb through walls
The two aren't related
I've made my base
In this jungle here
For the listening purposes
Don't look for me I'll hear you coming

New Hope
New hope is rising
Crawling in on a lazy afternoon
New hope is rising
By day I see the phases of the moon
My eyes
They just materialized
And now that I see
New hope is rising
Tundragliding all through the night
New hope is rising
Tundragliding all through the night
I built this town for free
Would you like to see?
New hope is rising..

Your Face
This is not a song about unicorns
Nah that would make it way too long
I wrote this one back in Vietnam
Back in the sandy summer of 21
So who are you anyway?
I might recall your face
But I'm not paid to remember your name
And if you're not impressed
Sit back and relax
The answer will come to you
Phantom sig for ad campaign
One punch and they know my name
And I won't need to say I don't know your face
Don't care if white is white
Don't care if blue is blue
Yeah that's what they call you
[chorus, pretty big]
Suddenly..
Semi-non-consentual sex with a defecated cat - that's gross..
[really?]
And if you like unicorns
I'll blow both of my horns
I might squeeze you a chord but no more
I'll bet you got a flower name
Could get you one if you don't
Yes I've got some winning combinations for you
[chorus, even bigger than the last time]
Don't care if white is white
Don't care if blue is blue
And that's all I've got to say to you
