Plastic brain in a tin jar
Gone insane, didn't go too far
We had all the clock springs wound
But it went to ground
Are you the one to save me from disaster?
(Maybe all this time I was seeking signs)
A choice was made to seek inhalation
To survive a sense of frustration
Drew a beam to hail the hounds
But it went to ground
Are you the one to save me from disaster?
(Maybe all this time I was seeking signs I was wasting time)
Out of animatronic destruction
Centuries of repercussions
All these words made a joyous sound
But it went to ground...

Seven sisters drifting
Distant giants burning
Dream of returning
Traipsing through the universe
Watch the twins dividing
As the king is calling
They can see me falling
Traipsing through the universe
Faces blank of knowing
Though they saw me falling
History is calling
Traipsing through the universe

Searching for a signal
None to be found
Dreaming of abandoned buildings along the motorcade
Cursed taxis in a line where my fortune's made
Searching for a signal
Ran out of ground
Hit my head (Hit my head)
On the rocks
It never stops
Rising up from the banking, blood on my forehead
I'm seeing stars around me, but I'm not dead
Searching for a signal
None to be found
Fall again (Fall again)
On the rocks
It never
Fall again (Fall again)
On the rock
It never stops
Living in thatched-roof buildings along the promenade
Tall palm trees in a line. Now my fortune's made.
Searching for a signal
None to be found
Rum and
Scotch on the Rocks
It never-

(Carousel)

Stop the world from spinning round
Stop the world from spinning round
Stop the world
Stop the world from spinning round
(Stop the world, stop the world)
Stop the world from spinning round
Stop the world
(Stop the world)
Stop the world from spinning round
(Stop the world)
Stop the world from spinning round
Stop the world
(Stop the world)
Take your place on the carousel
That never slows down and
See the faces go blurring by
You never can tell
What is real?
What is real?
What is real?
The rise and the fall
The one and the all
Collapse into to everything

Animatronic Rhinoceros
03:19

In a field, in the white hot glowing
Where the sun beats down
Takes his rest from the ever-flowing
Tides of sound
He can see the numbered forest
But not the trees
And he knows, he can leave the chorus
But he's not free
Electro-biological
Predestination
With a step in the wrong direction
He impedes his view
The code that commits regression
Culls the horde to few
He can see the numbered forest
But not the trees
And he knows, he can leave the chorus
But he's not free
Electro-biological
Predestination

Lying in the shade
While standing next to you
Wrenching my cold hands
While you turn the screw
Keeping it together
By losing what was new
Balancing by whispers
Though it was askew
I'm dyed in the wool
And covering your (my) eyes
Prisoner to impulse
Compulsive in your lies
I'm here but now I'm leaving
I flock to what is bright
Meet me at the river
I'm staying there tonight
Standing at an impasse
And wanting to pass by
Though time moves much faster now
It's not fast enough to fly
Secrets underneath the bed
When the waters all ran dry
Now I pick through treasures
Trying to find the truth mixed within the lies

Wayside
Was all they could throw at me
Getting tired of the entropy
Bogged down by philosophy
Trying to claim the nightfall for summer's law
Vying for trapdoors to save us from a whale's maw
Wayside
Been mired in soliloquy
Seen it all in its totality
Reached out like a starving tree
Woven into all the tapestry
Told life it was not to be
Caught out on the endless sea
Trapped sound's eventuality
Trying to claim the nightfall for summer's law
Vying for trapdoors to save us from a whale's maw
If in defeat you break
With nothing left to take
You can't go back again
Wayside

Leaving
04:06

Pack your bags
Say good goodbyes
You'll go it alone
You never stayed in one place
Long enough to know it was home
Leaving
With a handful of dimes
Waiting
Drop in the bucket of time
Pack your bags
And give us a smile
You'll go it alone
You never showed your true face
Now you're left on your own
Leaving
Looking for any sign
Waiting
For the stars to align

Traveler's Dilemma

Captain, can you hear me?
I think we need to turn this ship around
Cause my friends are stuck in town
And they really need me
I don't like to make promises
Although I try to keep my word
And I want to feel redeemed
Cause they really need me
Grass it grows
Water flows
Some things never change
Some never stay the same
Through it all
The mountains fall
But we take care
Where all is laid bare
I thought I was leaving
Now I'm waiting to return
Is it worth the pain of parting
For what I'd learn?
So, I'm begging you now
To plot another course
And take me back to land
Grass it grows
Water flows
Some things never change
Some never stay the same
Through it all
The mountains fall
But we take care
Where all is laid bare

Center of Gravity

There are hoops
There are discs
But it's all in the center of gravity
We're all called
We're all pulled
To the ground
We form the crown
Dreams so tall
Nothing falls
It's all safe from the center of gravity
But our fate
Always calls
Us away
Against the day
Gather round and gaze
At everything at play
Let it wash you home
All that's bright
Meets the night
It's all right in the center of gravity
In defeat
You retreat
In disgrace
Show your true face
Gather round and gaze
At everything at play
Gather round and gaze
Let it wash you home
Take you back to land
