Circus Man

Daddy won't you listen
To the boy whose too far gone
Images flare they surround me
Live the life of the circus man
I tried to see
What you made for me
Its not that I'm trying to teach you
But you've got to know that I'm my own
The pain doesn't come from
Home
In my life I've been a few things
A pauper, a fool. a dreamer, a king
And my head still in the clouds
I don't know a thing
Mystery, I om weary
Con you see me in the candle light
Calling to fools of tradition
Con you make me a circus man
I tried to see
What you mode for me
Push to shove I'm resisting
Loving one the social wall
Voices call from inside me
Love
In my eyes war has been fought
No hidden prison. no miracle sought
In my head the fires rage
Leaving me to scream again
In my life I've been a few things Ignorant master. laughable king
And my heart still burns with rage
I will not stay in my cage

Gemini

All I hear is talk of the dead
Prying fingers inside my head
Trying to help me, want to make me see
But I Just don't understand why they took you from me
Con you tell me who I am
People crowd around me in sympathy
The walls push closer in
Strange to think that I was once a child
And I Just don't understand why we couldn't smile
I need you again gemini
Bleach me white
Hove you ever seen the ocean cry
Am I the one to bring you wine
Another vision from a tear stained eye
As the gun moves closer to my head
Timely martyr on a throne of tin
As I woke up screaming in my bed
All I know has already been said
Reach for the calling inside my head
Trying to tear me from the two I om
Misery and company revived in my hands
Wave goodbye gemini
Close your eyes
Have you ever seen the ocean cry
Am I the one to bring you wine
Another vision from a tear stained eye
Gunshot and I om dead
Just a martyr in a land of sin
Is it all in my head

Wishing Well

Do you remember were we ever young
The lost time I come to I was the only one
The children of vision at the end of the street
We laughed in their faces, we spit at their feet
So I crawl from another dream
Richer. poorer - couldn1 help us see
Don't leave me here alone
Waking souls to please my own
Never leaving this handmade hell
Toke me back to the wishing well
Tossing pennies for a better world
We'd be so much happier if they never said a word
Children laughing as the ripples fade
What ever happened to the promises we mode
So I crawl from another dream
My lips frozen in a childhood scream
Don't leave me here alone
Waking souls to please my own
Never leaving this handmade hell
Toke me back to the wishing well
Don't leave me here alone
Waking souls to please my own
Never leaving my handmade hell
Toke me back to the wishing well
