Lyrics For Songs on Operation:Moondust
Jupiter's Shadow (Track 1)
When did everything get so heavy? The mass of a neutron star, inside your heart of hearts; And it feels like we could've been dancing, In Jupiter's shadow, where our feet can't find the ground, Can't find the ground... So stay close to me babe, take my hand if you like, We'll overcome this gravity somehow, if it takes all night. When did everything get so serious? The birth of a molecule became our universe; And it seems like we should've been playing In Jupiter's shadow, where our feet can't find the ground, Can't find the ground... So stay close to me babe, take my hand if you like; We'll overcome this gravity-just you and me-somehow, If it takes all night. The Visit (Track 2) Lift your head off your pillow, someone's here to see you, Take a look out your window, somebody's here to see you now; A glowing light in the back yard night, do you think they can see you? Did they come from Orion's Belt, maybe the Dragon's Head? How far did they come? Take a step out your window, they're waiting to see you, Raise your eyes to the strange light, they're wanting to see you now; A little bit closer if you dare, mom & dad are still sleeping now, If they asked you aboard, what would you say? Lift your head off your pillow, someone came to see you; Take a look out your window, someone came to see you; What's it like in your new-found sky where no one can see you now? When mom & dad ask me about you, what should I say? Where I Belong (Track 3) I lay by the water, stare at the evening sky, Start to ponder the questions I have inside me; Phantoms of infinity that press upon my mind, Tune me to the frequencies I like to hide behind Take a step in the river, wait for the dove to descend; Moonlight catches the ripples, its light my only friend; Feel like I'm in a vacuum, can't tell right from wrong, The only love I desire now lies down in the Song of Songs My heart cried out to You, this was your last response: "A symphony of sound waves is where you belong." We call upon the nameless king, your time has come; Fulfill your destiny, and our eternity. I'm really gonna miss you all, yeah, it's been swell, When we'll meet again is hard to tell; Hope you know that I didn't choose this, it chose me, I go to prepare a place for you and me, So that we can be so free...yeah I lay in the graveyard, look at what's left behind; Wait for the dust to settle on my eyes; Hope you know I love you and I hope you'll be strong, If you become despondent, just remember this song; My soul cries out to Him, this is His last response: A symphony of sound waves is where I belong. Main Reactor (Track 4) Set out to the universe in search of spacial pleasures, Whatever it was I needed, didn't turn out as expected; Found a red hot planet, its axis was slightly tilted, Felt like someone planned it, there was nothing I could do; I don't know which way it's gonna land, been drifting, tumbling, spinning, out of control; Is this what it's like when the particles collide? Til then, guess I'll just pretend, If it's all the same to you, That I'm the main reactor in your mind. The tail fell off the comet, and wrapped around my rocket, It felt so good to lose all self-control; The gauges all went haywire, got warm in the cockpit, Couldn't tell which way was up or down... Sandbox On Mars (Track 5) I left work today, I made my way through the dusty highlands, This bubble I'm wearing is a-wearing on me way too fast; I'm stuck in this dome, they tell me it's home but I think they're crazy; I guess 80million miles of space ain't what it used to be. Where I go from here time won't tell, I'm either halfway to heaven or halfway to hell; God knows I love you and I'll probably write it again & again & again... In my sandbox on Mars. It's always the same, I play this game, try to catch the sunset, The sun is so small I can barely see it through the wind; I'm feeling older, I take more ambrosia so that I can forget, Olympus Mons shadow is greater than the sand that it holds. |
Shelbytron (Track 6)
My hot rod Shelbytron is sleek, smooth, fast, and bold; Supercharged, yeah a superstar, she takes me where I need to go; Who needs a time machine when you can fly at the speed of light? Nothing else I'd rather do than fly with her tonight...oh yeah... She flies me crazy My super-hot Shelbytron is the only one of her kind, Heaven-built, bullet-proof, uniform construction, but oh so plush inside; Satin, lace, patent leather, don't we look so great together, ready to take on the night; It's a shame they're never gonna see us, cuz we're outta sight...oh yeah... She flies me crazy My white-hot Shelbytron is never gonna crash and burn; Take a trip to the promise land, hope I never return; Who needs a time machine when you can fly at the speed of light? Nothing else I'd rather do than fly with her tonight...oh yeah... She flies me crazy. Foolish Fracture (Track 7) I looked into the mirror, a quiet fascination, Dressed myself in fear, and blamed it on temptation; I'm not sure I like what I have become, A victim of the prophecy, the poison on your tongue. I'm trying to remember how it came to this Funny how the pain I felt suddenly makes sense; I can't kneel before you when you're sleeping in this bed, Is this the bed you made me in and made for me tonight? I tried to fly before I learned to run, it feels so cold in your room; I tried to climb before I'd learned to fall, feels so strange to be one with you, I'm inside you, you're inside me Now you'll never ponder the purpose of my journey, I was searching for my father, for the man I never knew; I've always hummed his melodies though I never met him, I know you thought that you killed me, never thought I'd return. I tried to fly before I learned to run, feels so cold in your room; I tried to climb before I'd learned to fall, feels so strange to be one with you, I'm inside you, you're inside me. Hell Is Just A Word (Track 8) If I was your needle, and you were my thread, We could fashion a net that would capture the beautiful monsters under my bed If I was a tiger, and you were my claws, We'd swipe at the heads of the specters that come down from my ceiling when I sleep.... If I was an angel, and you were my voice, We'd shatter the heart of the darkness with our lovely song; If I was your window, you'd be my breeze, Blowing the scent of your passion through the fibers of my dreams... My paradise lives deep inside you now Hell is just a word, it doesn't mean that much to me now, Hell you're such a pretty sight inside of me; Darkness is just a place where the lost and found collide; Close my eyes and embrace, never gonna run and hide again, You've set me free. And we'll make fire out of desire, and we'll make love out of fear. Color Of Mydnite (Track 9) (spoken) "Too long have my people suffered, enslaved and imprisoned by those who refuse to try and understand them. And here I sit combing my hair, thinking of the one I love. Am I so selfish? So heartless? Or is it that my shoulders can no longer bear this weight, and that in my heart I know I can't do this without him? I'll never forget the night I looked into his eyes and asked him 'What IS the color of Mydnite, my love?'" It's the stars on the ceiling that set your eyes aglow, The tear-stained pillow that you left when you had to go; It's a black and white rainbow stretched across my floor, The shadows and nightmares that dance upon my wall. Ooh starshine, refracting in your heart, Ooh crystal moonlight, you had me from the start. It's a river of moonlight on freshly fallen snow, Aurora Borealis emerging from your soul; It's a low-lit doorway where distant lovers meet, The merging of heartshines, a brand new galaxy. The color of Mydnite can mean so many things, One thing toward who listens, another to the one who sings; The color of Mydnite holds me nice and tight, When nothing exists except you outside these walls tonight. Passionsick (Track 10) There's no comfort tonight, only remnants of light That seem to fade to gray; There's no heat in my flame as I whisper your name in silence, Sweet silence that feels my pain... Where did it go? Nothing feels quite right, Didn't you know I'd feel so passionsick inside babe? There's no laughter inside, where my humor resides I just can't tell, just as well; I still smell your sweet perfume in the solace of my room, It cuts me, so softly |
