Well, the world ain't shattered, but sure it ain't safe All the winds are alert, You just got to be brave There are hate and suspicion And maybe better ways Is it faith or superstition what it takes to be amazed? One dream's killed, but another was born, and the devil a-dancin, Gabriel blowing his horn and the world keeps turning, and the prophets don't care, Which value is burning, or if a man's bare. All the fairies are hidden in their flowers in spring and if you ask Merlina she won't tell you anything all the drops in the ocean, they are sad and they cry. But the Lords of the darkness, they enjoy their apple pie. Your houses are high, your falls are deep your cars are fast, but the bridges too steep Good days tend to leave, yet the beast is asleep and the hope in the party is powered by greed. You try anything, and you got luck. You got everything, and now you got stuck. and the rails of your brain don't lead far any more. and your feelings are sold, and your heart is a whore. A room full of vigilance, a stock full of fears, and a little box of knowledge and wisdom full of tears. and the times aren't right for paradise birds each idea got his bride and some got more than they deserve. All the mermaids in the waves they dive and they sink the sirens stop singing and the magic dragons shrink. and the love and the promises are laughing in the sky and a little dog's howling at the stars passing by. |
