GOD SEEKS THE GRAIL IN YOU Everybody wants to go and everybody thinks they know And everybody tells you to grow but everybody is getting low (view) Everybody wants to grow and everybody gets down low And everybody thinks they know but everybody wants me to go Is there a sail on the brow of a single town over you, you, you? Is there a wail on the wind to any sin from out of you, you, you? Is there a grail to be found in the kindling that is you? Is there an ear to be found in the pretentious crowd? Is there a sail on the brow of a single town? Is there a wail on the wind to any sin? Is there a grail to be found in the kindling? And everybody thinks their queen and everybody wants their ice cream And everybody is just has been and everybody thinks it’s without me… And everybody says to go and everybody gets down low And everybody thinks they know but everybody thinks they’re over me Is there a sail on the brow of a single town over you, you, you? Is there a wail on the wind to any sin from out of you, you, you? Is there a grail to be found in the kindling that is you? Is there an ear to be found in the pretentious crowd? Is there a sail on the brow of a single town? Is there a wail on the wind to any sin? Is there a grail to be found in the kindling? SOLO And everybody says to go and everybody gets down low And everybody thinks they know but everybody saying they’re over me Is there a sail on the brow of a single town over you, you, you? Is there a wail on the wind to any sin from out of you, you, you? Is there a grail to be found in the kindling that is you? Is there an ear to be found in the pretentious crowd? Is there a sail on the brow of a single town? Is there a wail on the wind to any sin? Is there a grail to be found in the kindling?

I TEND TO DREAM She said, ’I’ve grown tired of this masquerade, this human pain parade One thousand tears I have cried for you. And who is this god above to prescribe to me this luck? It’s permeating my every day to day, without you….’ I tend to dream, to dream, to dream about you…. He said, ‘I ‘ve grown tired of your make up façade your little female parade One to many days of my life I’ve spent dying with you, with you And you ask, ‘who is this God above to prescribe to you this luck Permeating your every day to day?’ Well I tell you it’s you…. I tend to dream, to dream, to dream about you…. (C –solo. Over verse chords) (Heavy guit with chorus) You…. I tend to dream, to dream, to dream about you….

Not a song for Christina-N:A:S:F:C: She said pitter patter if it all shatters it just doesn’t matter in my glass cage, enraged, onstage with closet pain for no proven gain And if I should stubble, reach out and tumble, shuffle and bumble I would still be heard to grumble, ‘did you, did you really mean to fumble? Ah ah ah ahhh ah ah aah aah Oh wow oh wow What a meaningful thing to say to be happy all pain must be waylaid so don’t be saved by you so don’t be saved by you don’t be saved by you be saved by saved by saved by you oh be saved by saved by saved by you be saved by saved by saved by you saved by you He said pitter patter with all this going on I might just shatter in my last days I’ve had to put a lot to the grave but if we should stumble, reach out and tumble, shuffle and bumble, I know I will be heard to grumble, ‘did you did you really mean to fumble?) Ah ah ah ahhh Oh wow oh wow ah ah aah aah Oh wow oh wow ah ah aah aah What a meaningful thing to say to be happy all pain must be waylaid so don’t be saved by you so don’t be saved by you don’t be saved by you be saved by saved by saved by you oh be saved by saved by saved by you be saved by saved by saved by you saved by you

PART-TIME PARATROOPER She said, ’When you’re gone, I’ll cry every evening.’ (Come on baby what about you?) I said I’ll return because of your smile (your smile) (C’mon baby what can I do?) She said if you fly I will be writhing in fantasy (C’mon baby what should I do?) I said I’ll return because of your smile C’mon baby what about you? The adrenaline is keeping me stronger for longer it’s running through m y veins The only way I stay alive is by keeping this picture of you. She said that you need me to feel and you feel me to see me (C’mon baby tragedy you) The only way I’ll stay alive is by keeping this picture of you I asked what’s to blame; You need me to see me to seethe at me (C’mon baby what can I do?) I know all your names I’ve seen them grow (C’mon baby what can I do?) And over the years you know that you dream to be with me (C’mon baby what should I do?) I know all the names because I gave them to you… (to you, to you) The adrenaline is keeping me stronger for longer it’s running through my veins The only way I stay alive is by keeping this picture of you. She said how you dream you know you’ll be near me; (if) you need me! (C’mon baby what should I do?) The only way I’ll stay alive is by keeping this picture of you The only way I’ll stay alive is by keeping this picture of you (.ummm um umm) The only way I’ll stay alive is by keeping this picture of you The only way I’ll stay alive is by keeping this picture of you (.ummm um umm) Acapella break down

Squeeze me, without lobotomy Rinse away your frozen irony For she, she Refutes all shame For they cannot help but to, to She covets everything that she sees A fake breeze, we’re calling honesty Rinse away the one I used to be For he, refutes all blame For they cannot help but to, to She covets everything that she sees And there is a crack between you But don’t you go and crack continue And if you live and die your life as a secondary Will you still grow to be it? Will you grow to be human anymore? Squeeze me, with promised irony Joke away your lack of destiny For they, refuse all blame For we cannot help but to We covet everything that we see We covet everything that we see And there is a crack between you But don’t you go and crack continue And if you live and die your life as a secondary Will you still grow to be it? Will you grow to be human anymore?(anymore) She covets everything that she sees…….

SYSTEMS GOVERN RATIONAL-PART 1 (There’s only you) If falling is only the half way, I don’t know what I’ll do Devotion is so critical It brings us ever closer in view But if I don’t, if I don’t, have you…. Steps forward become minimal As systems govern our rational Oooohhh there’s only you There’s only you The motion of falling is appalling And the mind betrays But follow with life with your yearning And your world will fall into place Cos if I don’t, if don’t have you….. We might as well all be sentinels As systems govern your rational There’s only you There’s only you…………

T.V. Big, black eyes, that could Never ever disguise (she said) the oceans of devotion that comprises your soul With the power of a glower that could swallow me whole! Give me the time, to be Sa-tis-fukin-fied She said, ‘these lessons in depression are devouring me, Because the pressure to give pleasure is such a petty conceit (she said) 2 and 2 : Deep inside I know you’re terrified of it Deep inside I know you’re terrified Because all motive is unclear And it holds your r own despair So qualify the little part of me Rejecting my own destiny And tell me that I learned it all from my T.V. She said, ‘Worship me I’m picture perfect for reality So beg upon your knees and suffer me, Though I am no more than a dream.’ SOLO She said, ‘Covet me I’m picture perfect for reality Reject all sense of destiny Cos we learn it all from our T.V.’ Big, black eyes, that could Never ever disguise (she said) the oceans of devotion that comprises your soul With the power of a glower that could swallow me whole! (she said) 2 and 2 : Deep inside I know you’re terrified- of it Deep inside I know you’re terrified because all motive is unclear And it holds your own despair I’m picture perfect for reality So qualify the little part of me That says I learned it all from my T.V. She said worship me Get down upon your knees and suffer me Reject all sense of selfless destiny Bow down before your T.V.
