Man On The Silver Mountain

I'm a wheel I'm a wheel I can roll I can feel and you can't stop me turning
'Cause I'm the sun I'm the sun I can move I can run but you'll never stop me burning

Come down with fire lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name come and make me holy again
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

I'm the day I'm the day I can show you the way and look I'm right beside you
I'm the night I'm the night I'm the dark and the light with eyes that see inside you

Come down with fire lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name come and make me holy again
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Come down with fire and lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name come and make me holy again
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain

Well I can help you you know I can I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain
Just look at me and listen I'm the man the man give you my hand
I'm the man on the silver mountain
Coming down with fire and lift your spirit higher
I'm the man on the mountain the man on the silver mountain
I'm the night the light the black and the white
The man on the silver mountain

Self Portrait

Paint me a picture and hang it on the wall
Colour it darkly the lines must start to crawl
Down down down spin me around and around
Draw me away to the night from the day leave not a trace to be found

Down down nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down down down down
Down down down down down

Paint me a picture of eyes that never see
With flashes of lightning that burn for only me
Hey hey hey there's only the devil to pay
I'm ready to go pull me down from below give me a place I can lay

Hey hey nothing is real but the way that I feel
I feel like going down down down down
Down down down down

Nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down down down

Nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down down down down
Down down down down
Down down down down down

Black Sheep Of The Family

I've got nothing in my head got a floor for a bed the future's at the bottom of a tea cup
I got a half a pair of shoes and no time to lose I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up

So fortune shine your light on me and my knees
'Cause we need some security
You get a little bad luck and it grows and it grows
I'm the black sheep of the family

I've got half a pound of rice a beard full of lice a mission called retrogression
I've got a pocket full of dust and eating is a must if you want to make a good impression

So fortune shine your light on me and my dog
'Cause we need some security
While all the folks are living high on the hog
I'm the black sheep of the family

Don't talk to me about society
You've got to play the rules or pay the penalty
Because there's nothing to choose between a handful of blues and double indemnity

The hour was wrong and my shadow's getting long my real life's a song don't mean much
I've got an ache in my head I wanna go to bed tomorrow I don't have to wake up no

So wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
'Cause it's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way and it's true what they say
I'm the black sheep of the family

Oh my wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
It's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way and it's true what they say
I'm the black sheep of the family I'm the black sheep of the family just me and my dog yeah
I'm the black sheep of the family yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm the black sheep of the family you've got me on my knees
I'm the black sheep of the family yeah yeah yeah

Catch The Rainbow

When evening falls she'll run to me like whispered dreams your eyes can't see
Soft and warm she'll touch my face a bed of straw against the lace

We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel with chains made of steel so bless me
Come the dawn come the dawn come the dawn come the dawn

We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
And sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel with chains made of steel so bless me oh bless me bless me
Come the dawn come the dawn come the dawn come the dawn

Snake Charmer

Old hollow eyes got no ties walking by the light of the moon
Hey shiny boots with strings and flutes rising like a crazy balloon

Close your door he's on the loose
Here he comes no hope for you
Snake charmer
He'll harm you

So hey mystery man what's your plan? I've got to tell the world to beware you don't care
He'll hypnotize and tell you lies he's hiding at the top of the stairs

Close your door he's on the move
I see him coming out there's no hope for you
Snake charmer
Snake charmer

Hey fancy face got no place leaving from a hole in the ground
Old sparkle eyes he never cries one step ahead of the hound

Close your door he's on his way
He's coming out of the shadows now [now] no hope for you
Snake charmer
Snake charmer

Hey hollow eyes got no ties oh shiny boots play your strings and flutes
Mystery man what's your plan? Fancy face got no place
Snake charmer
He'll harm you
Oh sparkle eyes got no ties
Oh shiny boots close your door he's on the loose
Snake charmer
My mystery man what's your plan?
I've got to tell the world to beware
You don't care
He'll hypnotize tell me lies

The Temple Of The King

One day in the year of the fox came a time remembered well
When the strong young man of the rising sun heard the tolling of the great black bell
One day in the year of the fox when the bell began to ring
Meant the time had come for one to go to the temple of the king

There in the middle of the circle he stands searching seeking
With just one touch of his trembling hand the answer will be found
Daylight waits while the old man sings Heaven help me
And then like the rush of a thousand wings it shines upon the one
And the day had just begun

One day in the year of the fox came a time remembered well
When the strong young man of the rising sun heard the tolling of the great black bell
One day in the year of the fox when the bell began to sing
It meant the time had come for the one to go to the temple of the king

There in the middle of the people he stands seeing feeling
With just a wave of a strong right hand he's gone
To the temple of the king

Far from the circle at the edge of the world he's hoping wondering
Thinking back from the stories he's heard of what he's going to see
There in middle of the circle it lies Heaven help me
Then all could see by the shine in his eyes the answer had been found
Back with the people in the circle he stands giving feeling
With just one touch of a strong right hand they know
Of the temple and the king

If You Don't Like Rock 'N' Roll

You'd never know there was some music playin' until you talked your way inside the door
And then a sound like rollin' thunder begins to push you right through the floor
And there's a great white sign with big black letters that just about explains it all

If you don't like rock 'n' roll well if you don't like rock 'n' roll
If you don't like rock 'n' roll then it's too late now
Well it's too late now

Of course there was the usual lady and she was dressed the way the stories tell
So bein' cool I made a move to grab her but you could see she read story well
And then she whipped out a card with big black letters that just about explained it all

Well if you don't like rock 'n' roll if you don't like rock 'n' roll
Well if you don't like rock 'n' roll then you're too late now
Then you're too late now

Well if you don't like rock 'n' roll well if you don't like rock 'n' roll yeah
If you don't like rock 'n' roll well it's too late now
Well you're too late now

If you don't like rock 'n' roll if you don't like my rock 'n' roll
Then you're too late now
Then you're too late now
Then you're too late too late now

Sixteenth Century Greensleeves

It's only been an hour since he locked her in the tower
The time has come he must be undone
By the morning

Many times before the tyrant's opened up the door
Someone cries still we close our eyes
Not again

Meet me when the sun is in the western sky
The fighting must begin before another someone dies
Cross bows in the fire light green sleeves waving madmen raving
Through the shattered night

Flames are getting higher make it leap unto the spire
Draw bridge down cut it to the ground we shall dance around the fire
No more night we have seen the light let it shine on bright hang him higher
Draw bridge down cut it to the ground we shall dance around the fire
No more night we have seen the light let it shine on bright hang him higher higher put the man on the fire
Draw bridge down cut it to the ground we gotta dance around the fire the fire the fire

Still I'm Sad

See the stars come fallin' down the sky
Gently passing, they kiss your tear drops dry
See the wind come, softly blow
Your hair from your face
And the rain comes falling down
In its crazy way
Still I'm sad

For myself my tears just fall in the dust
As I search in the night and find they're lost
See the wind come gently blow
Time into my heart
And the rain comes falling down
While we're apart
Still I'm sad
