Woke up
and I'm in a world with nothing in it, just the ground and distant boundaries of sound
which scare me and almost drive me mad.
 
 She used
to say "there's a lot more than just you",
but I wouldn't be as sure now,
I could really think she's wrong now
and I do,
it seems there's no one to disprove.
 I'm son of
futurists, science, skyscrapers and high speed.
I've grown from
Bradbury, Orwell and Frank Lloyd Wright's seeds
but I'm tired
and I can hardly sleep,
'cause I'm keeping too many dreams
and I've got no space in me. Hey folks!
Well, Dylan was right after all...
I'm the last man on this planet standing
and violently falls the atomic rain
down on me, it burns in my veins
but there's no one left to blame. And son of
punks and beboppers, Lennon - McCartney, belong to
ENIAC, Warhol, Newton and Darwin
but I'm tired and I can hardly sleep, those dreams I had I just don't think they're goin' to go and let me be.

Let it flow 03:27
Let it flow. Come on, let it flow through time and space.
3.
Sometimes I don't feel like it's my mind, I don't feel like it's me at all, acting like I'm supposed to and not like I should. You can pray for things to come, for sun and rain, I don't know what it's gonna be tomorrow, well... who does? Move on, days pass standing in a row, they go and go and go and what for? One more and it's as useless as the day before so why don't you come and save me? Last night I dreamt I lost my teeth again, they were shining like gems in my hand and though I was scared I stared at them, then I lost my soul. You can pray for things to come, for sun and rain, I don't know what we're gonna feel tomorrow, well... who does? Move on, days pass standing in a row, we waste our time and time wastes us. Come on, take me now or let me go, is it so hard to say goodbye? Hold me now. Move on, days pass standing in a row, they go and go and go and what for? One more, you could heal me if you wanted to, really, are these the best days of our lives? Hold me now.

Hamlet & I 03:21
Australia is the place, there is nowhere else I'd rather wanna be. My life is someone else's, won't you just take me out of here? My good friend Hamlet's crumbling, he's been tortured by the same doubts for three years He says he's feelin' kinda lost and sad I can't help him I just pretend and he sings blue sea golden beach big waves great sky a girl's kiss no clouds but here we are all the time I am the Rock. Well, let them sing my song, let me sing my song and I sing blue sea golden beach big waves great sky a girl's kiss no clouds  but here we are all the time but here we are

Danae 03:40
I wonder if the birds
 wonder if the birds
 sometimes feel tired
of their wings.
 Everything gets worn,
 I don’t believe it though,
 it can’t be,
not to me.
 
 And you’ll find me there
 where reality’s been shaded,
 I’ll be what remains
 of your dreams when they’ve just faded,
 and I guess that’s my fate.
 I’ll make slivers of myself,
 I’ll make slivers of myself,
 I’ll make slivers of myself
 then I’ll be golden rain.
 
 What if we woke up
 what if we woke up
 one fine morning
and walked away.
 Like we weren’t born,
 like we didn’t long
 for one more day
or need to stay.
 
 And we’d know it’s grace
 ‘cause it couldn’t be any better,
 then we’d understand
 what we meant in all those letters,
 but I can’t change our fate.
 We are sea waves in a shell
 we are sea waves in a shell,
 we are sea waves in a shell,
 let it be golden rain.
