imagine one perfect circle
above the stratosphere
where lovers hide away
and children cheer
because the ground has melted
where the devil stood
never mind the carnival
in your old neighborhood
chorus
come on let's ride
the circle slide
come on let's ride, ride
the circle slide
around my neck against my heart
i wear a wooden cross
and sometimes i remember
what freedom cost
shake off your golden shackles
children of time no more
consider now the crimson crown
the Man of Sorrows wore
chorus
sled dog
10 or 12 degrees below
i'm happy trudging through the snow
i'll enter any chariot race
you can see the pride on my face
i'll get us through the fog
i'm a sled dog
i'll take you for a ride
you don't have to whip my hide
never tether me to the pole
i'm a free flying soul
i know it's hard to imagine
when someone makes you cry
fire in the heavens
and laughter in the sky
just let the wind blow through your spirit
let the sun shine on your face
let's look into each others eyes
and sing Amazing Grace
chorus
before you kill me honey recognize
i'm your one way rumblin' ride
through yellow skies
i'm your sunshine truckin' man
i'm doin' everything i can
to realize
the yellow skies
were you cryin' in the kitchen?
did you paint the four walls blue?
was it something i said?
something that i did to you?
sometimes love is really sad
but you don't have to feel so bad all day
we can ride away
let's go outside, open up our eyes
and exchange this cloudy room
for a yellow sky
i'm your sunshine truckin' man
i'm doin' everything i can
to realize
the yellow skies
saucers in the kitchen
flyin' like ufos
it's a mystical experience
mama never told me so
sometimes love can twist your head
but you don't have to wish me dead today
close your eyes and pray
before you kill me angel recognize
i'm your one way rumblin' ride
through yellow skies
i'm your sunshine truckin' man
i'm doin' everything i can
to realize
to realize
open up your eyes
to the yellow
to the yellow
jesus turned water into wine on a merry occasion
a miracle for caananites, a wedding celebration
and i do realize moderation is a truly wise ideal
away with the swine,
with the demons of insanity
away with the swine.
away with indecency
set the mad men free
i was freed when i was a child in parochial school dress
although i rarely really ran wild one sister swore i was possessed
under oath i would have to confess how my friends and i set fires
away with the swine,
with the demons of insanity
away with the swine.
away with indecency
set the mad men free
away with the swine,
with the demons of debauchery
away with the swine.
away with indecency
set the mad men free
away with the swine,
with the demons of insanity
away with the swine.
away with idolatry.
set us all free.
La la la la la la la la la
on a merry occasion
la la la la la la
moderation is a truly wise ideal
consider your laughter
consider my tears
consider my love
consider your fear
consider one small child
consider your cross
consider the hope that withers like a flower
consider my loss
consider the fire
consider the night
consider the truth
consider the light, my love
consider your heart
consider your heart
consider your heart
consider my love, my love
consider the darkness
consider my love, my love
consider the flame
consider my love, my love
consider the ghost of the living savior
remember my love
remember my name
consider your heart
remember my name
consider your heart
remember my name
consider your heart
you know i love you
i think you're so good
i like the people in my
neighborhood
my mother is an engineer
my daddy is a healer
and everybody gathered here
wheelers, dealers
lovers, depravers
freers, enslavers
clowns, wicked sayers
kissers and betrayers
bones and ladder
somehow rhyming
man of sorrows hanging
iscariot swinging
a curious polarity
finders, weepers
why have you forsaken me?
losers, keepers
lovers, depravers
freers, enslavers
clowns, wicked sayers
kissers and betrayers
saviors, denyers
prophets, implyers
well wishers, liars
killers, death defyers
killers, death defyers
i light a candle
well before dark
they tell me jesters hide out
in the park
i never was a cautious man
my brother is a broker
and everybody in the band
jokers, fire-stokers
lovers, depravers
freers, enslavers
clowns, wicked sayers
kissers and betrayers
saviors, denyers
prophets, implyers
well wishers, liars
killers, death defyers
killers, death defyers
a sentimental song
children tremble
flowers fade so sadly
love is strange to understand
winter winds blow
does the truth seem badly
let your tears fall into my hands
let your tears fall into my hands
listen closely
and i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know just how i feel
listen closely
i will sing for you
a sentimental song
hide with me tonight
love endures the weather
let the rain make everything new
in the morning
we will dance together
let my song fall down around you
let my song fall down around you
listen closely
and i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know just how i feel
(in my heart)
listen closely
i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know my love is real
listen closely
and i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know just how i feel
(in my heart)
listen closely
i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know my love is real
listen closely
and i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know my heart is true
listen closely
i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know how i love you...
there's a crystal in the window
throwing rainbows around
there's a girl by the mirror
and her feet won't touch the ground
'cause she never saw the sky so bright
isn't that like a cloud, to come by night
nevermind the sky
there's a tear in her eye
a sad face is good for the heart
go on cry, does it seem a cruel world?
a sad face is good for the heart of a girl
a sad face
there's a woman in my kitchen
with a rainbow on her cheek
well isn't that a promise?
still i never felt so weak
there's a tiny spirit in a world above
cradled so sweetly in our father's love
so you don't have to cry
no there's something in my eye
a sad face is good for the heart
maybe just now i don't understand
a sad face is good for the heart of a man
a sad face
a sad face is good for the heart
it's alright you don't have to smile
a sad face is good for the heart of a child
for the heart of a child
for the heart of a child
for the heart of a child
a sad face
a sad face...
tear for tear
i see you well
but i can't tell
if you are young or old, dear
i love you so
but i don't know
if we are hot or cold here
until by death we fade
i'll try to trade you
grin for grin
and tear for tear
about love
the taste of your sweet breath
the salt of morning tears
again i say good-bye to you
hold on tight
so good to hurt so bad
so sad to ride away renewed
go on laugh
go on cry
it's alright
there's something wonderful about love
there's something wonderful about love
there's something lost about me with you
there's something blind about the choosen few
there's something wonderful about love
was i meant to be yours
the will of Christ above
do you believe true love is blind
'cause i don't know
when i get home come spring
won't you be glad to be mine
just don't laugh
please don't cry
just say so
there's something wonderful about love
there's something wonderful about love
there's something dark about destiny
there's something blue about you with me
there's something wonderful about love
sorry to call so late
the planet turned four times
your on my mind but you're nowhere
in my world
please kiss the little bird
God bless the cozy cage we share
you kill me
you thrill me
you threaten my dreams, girl
there's something wonderful about love
there's something wonderful about love
there's something liberating death alone brings
there's something funny about a lot of sad things
there's something wonderful about love
Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified
Follow Christ to the Holy mountain
Sinner, sorry and wrecked by the fall
Cleanse your heart and your soul
In the fountain that flows
For you and for me and for all
CHORUS
At the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
On that beautiful scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful scandalous night
On the hillside you will be delivered
At the foot of the cross, justified
And your spirit restored
By the river that pours
From our blessed Saviour's side
CHORUS
Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified
CHORUS
restore my soul
i call to you
with one lung exploded
from breathing the dust of the earth
with my tongue eroded
from licking the crust of the earth
a tear away from reconciled
a prayer away from hope
restore my soul...
i cry to you
with two eardrums blistered
from laughing with preachers of night
with my vertebrae twisted
from dancing with creatures of night
a day away from sanctified
a breath away from whole
restore my soul...
i crawl to you
with ten fingers smoking
from turning the pages of sin
with my spirit choking
from earning the wages of sin
a bridge away from justified
a step away from whole
restore my soul
