Always been ethical
A man to take at his word
Keep my mind wide open
Nobody gets hurt
One strange day I was paid a visit
By two peculiar boys
It all seemed a little bit off
Excellent doesnt cover it
Adventurous but I'm over it
Something's off
invited on a journey
Transported far away
A plan to save the future
And learn some history
Joan of Arc was making passes
Rufus led the charge
All seemed a little bit off
Excellent doesnt cover it
Adventurous but I'm over it
Turn this ship around
And take me home....
Something's off
I don't understand these words you speak
with voices sweet hypnotic
in the air they hang, narcotic
soft and sleek
I shake my weary head awake
and all those words just sound like clanging gongs
I slept so long
I look up at the stars and it seems
patently in view
the heavens don't need me to get along
I lived inside these stories for so long
the pain of bone and sinew
finding solace deep within you
joy in song
but once I came to stand outside
the chapel doors the siren song resolved
the spell dissolved
and if I have some wisdom it's the
wisdom to suggest
that I can't understand a single thing
so I'll keep on dancing
I'll keep on singing
and I'll keep on living on the love
my love keeps bringing
don't need no fairy tales
this life's worth living
and we can only build with the
tools that we've been given
and ain't that enough?
so you ask me of the holy and divine
the nature of a vision
the source of all division
empty shrines
but I refuse to dignify
these empty words that signify
a dream
an ancient scream
I am just a fish down at the
bottom of the sea
trying to understand a supernova's gleam
so I'll keep on dancing
I'll keep on singing
and I'll keep living on the love
my love keeps bringing
don't need no fairy tales
this life's worth living
and we can only build with the
tools that we've been given
and ain't that enough?
silent misunderstood, but somehow you read me
afraid untamed I don't know what you see in me
so thank you for taking on all the flaws that I have
I am at a loss for words, and I'm happy once again
so paint your pretty face w the light that surrounds you
I'm so tongue tied with the love that surrounds you now
Long ago on Harper road i saw you reaching out for me
in the car when I crashed I saw your silhouette
and you said "please wait for I haven't met you yet
We'll meet one day so won't you wait for me"
so paint your pretty face with the light that surrounds me
I'm so amazed with the love that surrounds me now
