Riding high on burnished wings
And with a brazen eye The buzzard waits to take its pick Waiting on that helpless cry In the time it takes The moment that you're right off guard Bridges that you thought you'd crossed Got to cross 'em all again Just as lightning strikes Before the thunder The buzzard falls upon its prey Before it has a chance to wonder But the meek will stand Understanding nature Seeing far beyond the plan Take their place in time Take their place in timeless structure Out, out of the dark surrounding shadows Tearing apart ? trying to get to me Sometimes you'll see, sometimes you'll feel Colder than steel, instantly real Burn, burning with fire, from the depths of time Enter my space to take my grace from me Slither and slide, ready to hide Far down inside ? waiting with pride |

I close my eyes to worldly skies
I leave behind the day And deep within me, I shall begin To chase my thoughts away As loved ones hold me to their sides Their strength flows into me To cast me out of sorrow's blindness Into eternity I thought I heard them softly calling The voices of the spheres As light years flash forever falling Away from waking fears I reach out, try to touch the passing Of beings bathed in light But they just smile, their eyes not asking To see beyond their sight Ooh silver tightrope Ooh silver tightrope Ooh silver tightrope I thought I saw the candle-bearers On their way to the beyond Beckon to me from the future To come and join the throng I stepped upon the silver tightrope Balancing beliefs And wings unfurling with a new hope I left behind my griefs Ooh silver tightrope Ooh silver tightrope Ooh silver tightrope Ooh silver tightrope (repeat to fade) |

Jumping Jack flash in the pan
Took a look and ran Wanna buy tomorrow Gonna leave it locked in the can Lucy's out falling about Trying to find her man Sold her rings, all her things Sell herself if she can I know she will Henry's eyes tell no lies Thinks he's got it made Super cool, he's no fool Nothing makes him afraid But the darkness On the phone no one's home Always out on the town On the streets, dragging their feet I've gotta find a place to lay down From the night-time Lost a friend Met his end way before his time Tried it once, tried it twice Didn't notice the signs Rock and roll, moving your soul Took a few as well On the line, out of time Shooting stars that all fell Oh Lord, do something, gotta slow it down It's coming on too fast, can't take it Feel like I'm gonna drown Gonna stand and face it, but I need you near Through the darkest hours, I'm calling Sometimes I think you don't hear me calling Hear me calling My brother's falling, I'll catch him if I can My brother's falling, I'll catch him if I can My brother's falling, I'll catch him if I can I see him falling, join him in his last stand All the questions and all the lies Will soon be answered to your surprise All the doubting and all the tears Will fall to ashes across the years |
