Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky And we'll stir the stars around and watch them fall away Into the Hudson Bay and plummet out of sight and sound The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills Where I live in the Alpine heights Below the northern lights I spend my coldest nights alone awake And thinking of the weekend we were in love (The weekend we were in love) Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull A thousand miles from the tide Put photos on the walls of New York shopping malls Distract me so I stay inside I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade 'cuz I would make a hook And I fish them from the sky My darling she and I were hanging on so take us high To sing the world goodbye I am floating away lost in a silent ballet I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you Awake to take in the view Late nights and early parades Still photos and noisy arcades My darling we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there) Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there) Or are you just a decoy dream in my head Am I home or am I simply tumbling out alone I am floating away (Floating away) Lost in a silent ballet (Silent ballet) I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you Awake to take in the view Late nights and early parades (Early parades) Still photos and noisy arcades (Noisy arcades) My darling we're both on the wing look down and keep on singing And we can go anywhere Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there) Are you there (Are you there) (Are you there) (Are you there) |

High rise, veins of the avenue Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue Everywhere is balanced there like a rainbow above you Street lights glisten on the boulevard And cold nights make staying alert so hard For heaven's sake, keep me awake so I won't be caught off guard Clearly I am a passerby but I'll find a place to stay Dear pacific day, won't you take me away? Small town hearts of the New Year Brought down by gravity, crystal clear City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier Make haste, I feel your heartbeat With new taste for speed, out on the street Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow The feeling of letting go, I guess we'll never know Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and tell me when it rains And I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins Cuz your heart has a lack of color and we should've known That we'd grow up sooner or later cuz we wasted all our free time alone Your nerves gather with the altitude Exhale the stress so you don't come unglued Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood Wide eyed, panic on the getaway The high tide could take me so far away VCR's and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day A popular gauge will measure the rage of the new Post-Modern Age Cuz somewhere along the line all the decades align We were the crashing whitecaps On the ocean And what lovely seaside holiday, away A palm tree in Christmas lights My emotion Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone As we spent the day alone |

Verse 1] Glamor and fashion Models and magazines A striking runway entrance Beauty and passion Stardust and high class scenes Of popular teens When I lived in Denver I met a millionaire With ribbons in her blond hair I still remember She was like a princess Straight from a dreamy castle in the air [Chorus] So lovely She was everything to me [Verse 2] Both alone in the dark We longed to see the sun Rise over the Bering Strait I was sick of the west When I turned 21 So I moved to the Sunshine State We played golf on the moon And tennis on the sun Like athletes in the afternoon The solar flares burned my arms And made her make-up run On our super-lunar honeymoon [Verse 3] I was the youngest son of a congressman And everything was my fault She was a gymnast Happily swinging on the uneven bars Tucked in a somersault [CHORUS 2X] [Verse 2] |

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt Around my arms and began to shiver violently before You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me Running into the dark underground All the subways around create a great sound To my motion fatigue: farewell With your ear to a seashell You can hear the waves in underwater caves As if you actually were inside a saltwater room Time together is just never quite enough When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home What will it take to make or break this hint of love? We need time, only time When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of? If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone? So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love? All the time, all the time Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on? All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow We’ll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow |

Good evening shuttle bus Tell me where you're gonna take us Someplace that I have never been It's chic transportation to New destination where I leave my reflection on the glass I'd ask but we don't know How far these interstates go Or how deep the city routes go down In chilly subdepth railways The weathered concrete stairways Provide me with the means of getting home If I ever leave (On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand while soothing words) So many sights to see So wake up like an early birdie And we'll get a head start on the day Oh, stained glass skyways And crowded six lane highways If I look back when I begin to leave Will they remember me? Circuit flights bend the light when I am spent And tour guides make happy brides through heaven soon Good evening shuttle bus Tell me where you're gonna take us (On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand While soothing words) On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand While soothing words hover like humming birds Good, good evening shuttle bus Tell me where you're gonna take us |

The bird is here and we are off
To wherever those wings take us The atmosphere is crawling with airlines That wind through the clouds And look down on the crowds Relax your back and let the noise Sing you to sleep in my arms If you awake before we arrive I will carry you down and I won't make a sound The scent is strong as we move on And breathe in the pristine crime scene The false veneer is old like a sub stick to volunteer From oh some other year I'm just a show as far as I can tell So I paint my eyes a light green The silver beams are twirling and swirling Throughout your dreams Like air traffic streams |

I am the red in the rose, the flowers on the blankets on your bedroom floor. And I am the gray in the ghost that hides with your clothes behind your closet door. I am the green in the grass that bends back from underneath your feet. And I am the blue in your back alley view where the horizon and the rooftops meet. If you cut me I suppose I would bleed the colors of the evening stars. You can go anywhere you wish cause I'll be there, wherever you are. (wherever you are) 2x (I will always be your keys when we are lost in the technicolor phase) The black in the book the letters on the pages that you memorize. And I am the orange in the overcast of color that you visualize. I am the white in the walls that soak up all the sound when you cannot sleep. And I am the peach in the starfish on the beach that wish the harbor wasn't quite so deep. If you cut me I suppose I would bleed the colors of the evening stars. (my darling) You can go anywhere you wish cause I'll be there, wherever you are. (my darling) (wherever you are) (wherever you are) (wherever you are) |

I stood up and took a breath
And threw open the bay doors Below the clouds I saw the coast And beautiful Hawaii Leaning back the pilot smiled And shouted have a good trip I signed off and closed my eyes Then I was falling through the sky Leaning back the pilot smiled And shouted have a good trip I signed off and closed my eyes Then I was falling through the sky |

I regarded the world as such a sad sight until I viewed it in black and white, and I reviewed every frame and basic shape, and sealed the exits with caution tape Don't refocus your eyes in the darkness, and don't remember this place unless I describe all the things that you cannot see, and we'll unravel the mystery Farewell, all my friends in textbooks I'm going home because my blood cells cannot depend on the weather in photographs There's a light show out my window somewhere way up there Dear Vienna, are you singing? Dear Vienna, are you swinging? Dear Vienna, we were happy like the shades of May when we got carried away I regarded the world as such a sad sight until I viewed it in black and white, and I reviewed every frame and basic shape, and sealed the exits with caution tape Don't refocus your eyes in the darkness, and don't remember this place unless I describe all the things that you cannot see, and we'll unravel the mystery I was so far out of place, watching those stars in outer space because I am so far from where you are There's a light show out my window, somewhere way up there Dear Vienna, are you singing? Dear Vienna, are you swinging? Dear Vienna, we were happy like the shades of May when we got carried away |

If we could sit together a moment
And talk forever just to pass the time I would smile as the shivers and chills Run down my spine And your eyes are locked on mine Oh, we'll fill the metro skies with country air And when you close your tired eyes I'll meet you there I'll meet you there I'll meet you there I'll meet you there I'll meet you there I'll meet you there I'll meet you there I'll meet you there Deep inside of you There's a ruby glow And it gets brighter Than you and I will ever know There's a rushing sound That surrounds us When we walk alone And it's everything we've never known (Wonder down the street and I will be the pavement beneath your feet) If we could just be immobile for some time And finally figure out the way we feel About the missing puzzle pieces and cloudy question marks That still look a bit surreal Oh, I tend to disappear Here and there So concentrate and you'll feel me Everywhere And we'll fill the metro skies with country air If you're lost when you close your eyes I'll meet you there I'll meet you there I'll meet you there I'll meet you there You could be anywhere I'll meet you there I'll meet you there You could be anywhere I'll meet you there I'll meet you there Open your eyes and see You could be anywhere Everything you can be I'll meet you there Open your eyes and see You could be anywhere Everything you can be I'll meet you there |

Wake up on your own
And look around you cuz you're not alone Release your high hopes and they'll survive Cuz this is the future and you are alive Dive in and swim away From your loneliness and miserable days And when you wake up on your own Look around you cuz you're not alone Let your hopes go and they'll survive Cuz this is the future and you are alive …You're headed home |

Are you out there? Where the rainy days begin
To feel rather sad and the walls are closing in like the darkness around me It's so hard to look away when the daylight doesn't ever stay Above this dull apartment view oh I will surround you It's quite clear that I'm stuck here So I'll devise a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor The porch light is so bright That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape I bought a one-way ticket 'cause I knew I'd never see the ground Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down When I wiped the tears from my eyes The warm water took me by suprise And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized I must be in California Aloha, my happy west coast friends Do you feel alive when the breaking waves arrive and rush all around you? The beach homes in Oceanside are quite well-known by the evening tide And we can sleep where we reside with redwoods around us The blue air is up there and could I bring it down, I'd bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night I bought a one-way ticket 'cause I knew I'd never see the ground Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down When I wiped the tears from my eyes The warm water took me by suprise And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized I must be in California I must be in California Am I awake or is this just a dream? The New Year is out here and I will make a lovely list of your charms So I'll never feel alone in your arms I must be in California I must be in California Oh my dear, I can feel you here |
