Jonathan Donahue [머큐리 레브]

wo scientists were racing
For the good of all mankind
Both of the side by side
So Determined
Locked in heated battle
For the cure that is their prize
But it's so dangerous
But they're determined

Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans
With wives and children

Upwards to the vanguard
Where the pressure is too high
Under the microscope
Hope against hope

Forging for the future
But to sarcrifice their lives
Both of them side by side
So determined

Theirs is to win
If it kills them
They're just humans
With wives and children

Theirs is to win
It will kill them
They're just humans
With wives and children

All those bugs buzzin' around your head
Well, they fly in the air as you comb your hair
And the summertime will make you itch the mosquito bites

The buzz of love is busy buggin??you
Well, they fly in the air as you comb your hair
And they're splattered up and down your windshield and the headlights

Well, they bite
Yeah, they bite
But you can tell they're there

Does love buzz because that's what it does?
Well, they fly in the air as you comb your hair
And the summertime will make you itch the mosquito bites

Well, they fly in the air as you comb your hair
And they're splattered up and down your windshield and the headlights

Fly in the air, comb your hair
Flies in the air, comb your hair

Love in our life is just too valuable
Oh, to feel for even a second without it

But life without death is just impossible
Oh, to realize something is ending within us
Feeling yourself disintegrate

Asked you a question
I didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy?
But they'll realize
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be

Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky

'Cause it's gettin' heavy
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be

Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be.

Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

I dreamed of you on my farm
I dreamed of you in my arms
But dreams are always wrong

I never dreamed I’d hurt you
I never dreamed I’d lose you
In my dreams I’m always strong

But now th' creek is rising
An’ all my bridges burned

I always dreamed of big crowds
Plumes of smoke and high clouds
But dreams don’t last for long

I have my suspicions
When th’ stars are in position
All will be revealed

But I know that until then
Unless th’ stars surrender
All will be concealed

And now th’ snow is falling
And all my fences torn

I know you need someone
An’ I can hear someone
Somewhere in this song

I dreamed that I was walking
And th' two of us were talking
Of all life's mystery

Th' words that flow between friends
Winding streams without end
I wanted you to see

But it can seem surprising
When you find yourself alone
And now th' dark is rising
And a brand new moon is born

I always dreamed I'd love you
I never dreamed I'd lose you
In my dreams I'm always strong

Th’ Threads that run thru yr life
Hang from yr sleeve
Wind thru yr soul
Th’ kind you can’t control
Th’ kind you can’t conceive
Th’ kind you can’t believe
But wish you could break
Wish you could weave
I Wish you could see
It ties you to me

An’ you fly in th’ face of the sun
An’ you float in th’ tides of th’ moon

Th’ paths that run from your door
Climb thru th’ trees
Wind like a snake
Th’ kind you can’t escape
Th’ kind you can’t conceive
Th’ kind you can’t believe
With prickly little thorns
Sharp tiny teeth
They’re hungry for th’ threads
Hanging from yr sleeve
Waiting on a path
Th’ kind you can’t conceive
But wish you could take
Wish you could leave
I wish you could see
It leads you to me

I remember their faces
I remember their stares
I remember how wasted
You were in there...

When I know you want it
An’ I know you care
I know you feel it
An’ I know it’s there

You were speaking to no one
I called your name
You were looking for something
Without any chains

I was talking to someone
You pulled me aside
You were telling me something That I couldn’t buy

What explodes like a fractal
Pops like a lite bulb
Looks really awful
At four in the morning
Moves with a dead stare
Coils around your ankles
Fangs long as neckties
And strike without warning

What implodes like a Zeppelin
Cracks like pavement
Smokes in the basement
And knows when yer lying
Comes to a dead stop
Forgives you like Jesus
Cold as a windchill
With eyes like Abe Lincoln

What is dark like a birthmark
Pulls like a magnet
Male and female
And covets like a dragon
Grows to a shark length
Contracts to amoeba
Lives in your soul
And loves you like I do

What appears like an angel
Stabs like a dagger
Fills you with lite
And bleeds you of matter
Comes to a dead stop
Forgives you like Jesus
Hands you a love only
Found in the Vedas

What explodes like a fractal
Pops like a lite bulb
Strolls in like Joel Gray
At four in the morning
Armed with a big nose
Fragile like a sea horse
Lives in your soul
And loves you like I do

If God moves across the water
Th’ girl moves in other ways
An’ I’ve lost my faith in either
Nite an’ fog are my days

I wanted only to be gentle
But I gave her jealousy an’ rage
Who knows exactly what I’m after
Nite an’ fog are my days

Wisemen want faith, fools want gold
Sailors want water, but you want it all

I tried to guide my love by starlite
An’ soon my life became a maze
Osiris an’ Orion were yer favorites
Nite an’ fog are my days

Vampires want darkness, monsters want souls
Spiders want corners, but you want it all

She turns half nude to find me naked
But I can see she wants me in other ways
In th’ dark I’ve driven her to madness
Nite an’ fog are my days

I hope you see your ship come in
May it find you an’ never lose it’s way
But I would make a poor captain
Nite an’ fog are my days

Vampires want darkness, monsters want souls
Spiders want corners, but you want it all...

Staighre... to nowhere climb
I take them... all th’ time
Crawling on my knees
Walking that ol’ fine line

An’ when I’m alone an’ scared
I think up little rhymes
They would make no sense to you
But I make them all th’ time

An’ time’s all mine...
Time’s all mine

It’s th’ little pills you find
Crushed to dust, rolling out of sight
They end up in th’ strangest places
But I take them all th’ time

When everyone... is false
I tell ‘em I’m just fine
I can’t... remember their names
But I fake them all th’ time

A year is just a drop in time,
it cannot touch th’ female form in my bed
She is just a friend of mine,
In th’ dark she knows th’ touch of my hand

Let th’ music play like you want it to
Let th’ sunshine lite in yr hair
Let th’ moonlite play at your feet like a babe
An’ softly linger there

Her words profane, her mouth divine,
I tried to sympathize with both sides
But I was caught, like a fleeting thought,
stuck inside of Leonard Cohen’s mind

We met on a beach in Greece,
an’ parted on a rusty Spanish stair
Two birds in th’ distance fly,
they landed an’ they settle down somewhere

Let th’ music play like you want it to
Let th’ sunlite glide thru yr hair
Let th’ moonlite play at your feet like a babe
An’ softly linger there

A year is just a drop in time,
it cannot touch her female form in my head
She was just a friend of mine,
in th’ dark she knew th’ touch of my hand

Siren with a song in yr eye
Slashing thru my ear like a beast
Seven times I leapt upon yr shore
Every nite I let you conquer me

You’re my queen

Serpent with yr blue planet eyes
Passing like a ship thru my sleep
Seven times I kissed you on th’ mouth
Every nite I let you conquer me

Plans an’ schemes
Thoughts an’ dreams
Who cares what they mean...
When they work they’re amazing things
When they don’t I hear you scream

Spiders an’ flies, live an’ die
Six legs to stand on an’ two wings to fly
I can’t remember an’ I can’t decide
What was th’ season an’ th’ color of yr eyes

Pharoahs an’ kings
Favorite queens
Buried with their
Precious rings
When they lived they loved complete
But in their tombs I hear them scream

Spiders an’ flies, live an’ die
Six legs to stand on an’ two wings to fly
It makes you wonder, why can’t I
What was th’ reason for th’ color of yr eyes

Psalms and spells
Magic blast
Who cares what they cast
I dreamed I’ d always love you complete
I never thought I’d hear you scream

Spiders an’ flies, live an’ die
Eight legs to stand on an’ two wings to fly
It makes you wonder, why can’t I
What was th’ reason for th’ color of yr eyes

In th’ morning yr face cracks an’ falls to th’ sea
Th’ sun follows yr step an’ leads you back to me
You keep telling yrself that you're here but you’re not alone
An’ you get th’ feeling that yr mind is not yr own

In th’ evening th’ sun’s red gown turns to brown
Th’ moon follows you to th’ beach then it swallows you down
Strange how you change and end up at her feet
You keep telling yourself but you know yr not to be believed

You an’ me and Hercules in between
You an’ me and Hercules in between

Shadows rise from the plain... fifty men row
In th’ distance th’ ships in th’ waves cash in their load
On th’ hill stands Colossus an’ yr mind is freezed
Clouds from yr past now at last open to receive

You an’ me and Hercules in between
You an’ me and Hercules in between

Cross th’ desert sand no one knows yr name
An’ you wish you were somewhere else with some kind of fame
What appears as yr shadow is formless as a mist
You keep telling yr friends you know... it exists
One becomes two then before you... turns to three
Words climb your tongue... like a ladder to speak
Drifting as you go but you row... ‘til it seems
All is One, All is Mind, all is lost and you find, ALL IS DREAM

You're sorta stuck where you are
But in your dreams
you can buy expensive cars
or live on Mars
and have it your way

You hate your boss at your job
but in your dreams
you can blow his head off
in your dreams
show no mercy

And all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You have to sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end

[Break]

And all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You have to sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end...

The first round goes, we go to blows,
I’m the Spider-Man nobody knows,
But the spider conceals the truth.
The spectums raise your ringside days,
I’ve been in love with you for a million days,
But the fighter conceals his wounds.

I’m in love with you but I fight the urge.
Muhammad Ali makes a third round surge,
And the audience can see the truth.
His punches land I can hardly stand,
I’ve got the power of a spider but the heart of a man,
But the power is in the truth.

Honesty can kill the spider,
Muhammad Ali feels the same,
The audience can give you power,
And I hear them call my name (Here comes the Spider-Man),
Hear them call my name (Does whatever a spider can).
I hear them call my name (Here comes the Spider-Man),
Hear them call my name (Does whatever a spider can).

At the seventh round you make a sound,
Muhammad Ali only knocks me down,
He whispered to tell the truth.
I say ‘I’m in love with you’ at the knock out count,
The audience cheers as the champ wins out,
But now you know the truth.

Honesty can kill the fighter.
Muhammad Ali knows the same.
Honestly the truth is power,
And I hear you call my name (Here comes the Spider-Man),
Hear you call my name (Does whatever a spider can).
I hear you call my name (Here comes the Spider-Man),
Hear you call my name (Does whatever a spider can).
I hear you call my name (Here comes the Spider-Man),
Hear you call my name (Does whatever a spider can).

I hear you call my name,
Hear you call my name.

Dawn brought a wild light, back into her tired eyes,
Like violets, opening her eyelids to the light,
Oh she was golden, I caught her still glowing,
I told you where we're goin' girl,
We're off for a dark country ride

I'll tell you a secret, I'll sell you a secret for a song,
Some day I'll tell you and take you back home where you belong

All the leaves are falling, Two suns are slowly rising,
I'll take you where the morning star burns just for you,
My dark country bride

I'll tell you a secret, oh I'll sell you a secret for a song,
I'll give you my soul, babe, an one day you'll give me yours

Oh I'll tell you a secret, I'll sell you my secret for a song,
I'll give you my soul, babe, an one day you'll give me yours

I'll tell you a secret, I'll sell you my secret for a song,
Some day I'll tell you and take you back home where you belong

And where we go from here, is anybody's guess,
These thoughts I've got inside, ain't easy to confess,
My hand upon my heart, I draw a little breath,
cos I've fallen down, (down, down, down...)

And I bleed and I feel that it's all too real,
On a wave of emotion sending ships across yer ocean,
And I've lost all my reasons...but it's you I can...believe in

And looking in your eyes, the stars they fall away,
And holding to your hand I waste away the day,
I've got to make it known, I've got to let you see,
But I'm not so strong...

And I bleed and I feel that it's all too real,
On a wave of emotion sending ships across yer ocean,
And I've lost all my reasons...when it's you I can...believe in

Believe in, believe in, ohh
Believe in, believe in, ohh

No I'm not that strong

And I bleed and I feel that it's all too real,
On a wave of emotion sending ships across yer ocean,
And a way of feeling that inside I know I'm healing,
All these waves of emotion sending ships across yer ocean,
And I've lost all my reasons...but it's you I can...

Believe in

Look how the sun, captured by the rain
Glimmers and falls, and lands in golden balls
Like a bracelet hung, from a spider's web
For me to show to you, like gifts

That you won't forget...
For as long as you live

See how the rain, captured by the leaves
Shimmers and falls, and lives on in diamonds balls
Like a necklace hung, over limb and branch
For me to show to you, like gifts

That you won't forget...
For as long as you live

Watch how the stars, captured by the sky
Appear to die, before our eyes and live on in other ways
Well tonight they're mine, for me to show
For me to shower you, like gifts

That you won't forget...
For as long as you live
And you will always have
For I will always give them
To you

If I was a white horse
And offered you a ride
Through a black forest

If we took a strange course
Promised you a danger
For a while

Ooh, ooh
(If I was a white horse)
Lorelei

Ooh, ooh
(If I was a white horse)
Lorelei

There's no way around the forest
The only way is through
And there's no way I'll ever make it on my own
Without you

But if you are persuaded
By all those dragon flies, offerin' you a ride
I'll know why

Ooh, ooh
(If I was a white horse)
Lorelei

Ooh, ooh
(If I was a white horse)
I'll know why
I'll know why

Forests come in all size
Danger many shapes
Well, who's to say

If I was a white horse
Offered you a ride
Through a black forest

An unseen force behind the turning leaves,
Drives them all vermillion and green,
You never gave up on me somehow,
I don't know why I haven't turned by now

Ooh I know love sounds impossible,
Some words are just so hard to say,
And there's times you feel unlockable,
An' all you ever want,
Is someone to try...to open up...and find a way in

Don't ever say you were wrong for me,
For you were always strong enough for three,
I never let you in my world somehow,
I'm asking you to please, allow me now

Ooh I know love sounds impossible,
Some words are just so hard to say,
And there's times you feel unlockable,
An' all you ever want,
Is someone to try...to open up...and find a way in

Truer skies beyond the swirling clouds,
The other birds are off and flying south,
We'll have to make our own way there somehow,
An' I'm asking you to please trust me now

Ooh I know love sounds impossible,
Some words just take so long to say,
And there's times you feel unlockable,
An' all you ever want,
Is someone to try...to open up...and find a way in

Someone to try...want someone to try, want someone to try, want someone to try...

Has she found a way to make her man work out rite,
An' has she found a way to let her man into her life,

Has she found a way to teach her man some control,
Oh to make him understand her, as a whole,

Will she find a way to tell him just how lost she is,
An' will he find a way to lead her out of the wilderness,

Take her by surprise, and not by force,
Oh able to withstand, all her storms,

In the wilderness..things aren't what they seem,
In the wilderness..life is but a dream,
That flows on..that flows on...

Will he find a way to let her play such a sacred role,
Will she find a way to forgive him as a whole,

Oh how can he have been so blind for so long,
An' how can the woman I love, be so strong

In the wilderness..things aren't what they seem,
In the wilderness..life is but a dream,
That flows on..that flows on...

On a summer day, you can hear her call
But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall
On a summer day, you can hear her call
But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall

Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees
And the grass and the logs run all my dogs
And I am home again

In the autumn air, you can see her smile
But in a funny way she reminds you of a child
In the autumn air, you feel her soul unfold
And in a funny way you feel your own explode

Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees
And the grass and the logs run all my dogs
And I am home again

On a winter day, you can hear her call
But in a funny way when the snow begins to fall
On a winter day, you can hear her call
And in a funny way, you love her even more

Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees
And the grass and the logs run all my dogs
And I am home again

Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees
And the grass and the logs run all my dogs
And I am home again

On a summer day, you can hear her call
But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall
On a summer day, you can hear her call
But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall

Ain't it amazing when the seasons begin, to change,
Someone behind the scenes just seems to pull some strings,
I've struggled with an old angel all night long,
An I thought it might be nice if we just talked till dawn

I never never gave you...enough
I could've given you...my love

They say that mary magdelene, had it real bad
She took her baby and she headed, off to france
New situtuations don't present themselves, at first
If I was her I don't know where or to who I'dve turned

I never left you with...too much
I could've given you...my love

I hear of people living deep inside of, the earth
They got their own sun and some claim they were here first
I've struggled with an old angel all night long
I thought it might be nice if you stayed here till dawn

I know I left you...alone too much
But I know I need you here...my love
I never thanked you...enough
I could've given you...my love

You gotta start, movin' on
It will be better in the sun
Just move ahead, it won't be long
An' it'll be brighter

You gotta start, movin' on
It will be better in the sun
Just move ahead, it won't be long
An' it'll be brighter

You gotta start, movin' on
It will be better in the sun
Just move ahead, it won't be long
An' it'll be brighter

Lover lift me up, high enough,
To see the star of gold in the heart of the climbing rose,

An how she knows, what to hold,
An what to leave behind, but close
And how come I don't
How come I don't

Lover let me see
Where she finds
The strength to rise
Above the weeds and other plants
And how come I can't
How come I can't

Lover lift me up...
Oh come and lift me up

Lover let me go,
Let me see,
Just how it feels, to bloom, all by yourself,
Oh I know I can,
Oh you know I can

Lover lift me up...
High enough...
To see the star of gold in the heart of the climbing rose

Lover lift me up...
High enough...
To see the star of gold in the heart of the climbing rose

Lover lift me up...

Lover lift me up...(lover lift me up)
Lover lift me up...(lover lift me up)
Lover lift me up...(lover lift me up...)

She has a way that is beautiful to behold,
Movements of silence and calm,
A universe of life folded up inside her,
A symphony of strangeness and charm

An she knows

Every now and them there's an ocean of silver,
Concealing herself as a stream,
Scars in her life that she once tried to hide,
Healing themselves as she breathes

An she knows
What she knows

Feel yerself arise
Feel yerself arise
Y' let yerself go
An tell yerself you'll know when you know

She has a way that is beautiful to behold,
An every now and then you can see,
A universe of light splashed in her eyes,
Revealing the only light she needs

An she knows
What she knows

Feel yerself arise
Feel yerself arise
Y' let yerself go
An tell yerself you'll know when you know

Down poured the heavens
Down fell my love

The brightest of beings
Cast from above

When into my darkness I praise the god sublime

Who let this fallen angel into this world of mine

Dee dee
Du du du dee
Dee du dee

Whoa

Dee dee
Du du du dee
Dee du dee

Maybe I'm not the one

Maybe I'm not the one
Maybe I'm not the one

Stuck in the perpetual motion
Dying against the machine
The whole thing leaves
You a nothing instead of a these
The sun is black and the black halos fly
And your number is backwards again when you try
The sound is so cute when you're 22
When you're 22

Eggs break when you walk on the scramble
You're living against the machine
The whole thing leaves
You a nothing instead of a these
The bone is cracked and the cracked eggshells fly
And your number is backwards again when you drive
The whole thing's removed when you're 22
When you're 22

oh god

in her grown up years
in her pilot years
(yes she has)
like she came from outerspace


oh god
has she turned queer?
(yes she has)
in her grown up years
in a pilot dream
(yes she has)
like she came from outer space


and now she's got helicopters
(yes she has)
repeat 5 times

You can be my head
Oh, I really need one
'cause it's used all its better days
You can be my head
'cause I've ruined this one
Blasting holes where it used to be

And if it's not a big thing,
You could swap or lend me
You should stop and ask me


Be my head, and I'll be yours (2x)

You can be my head
Oh, they've eaten this one
Putting swirls in this giant hole
You can be my head
'cause I can't afford to buy one
Seeking stars in its other side


And if it's not a big thing,
You could swap or lend me
You should stop and ask me


Be my head, and I'll be yours (2x)
Won't you be my head, and I'll be yours
Be my head and I'll be yours (3x)

Well it took some time
cause its a lot
God, it's a bunch
It's such a big, old, black golden buzz

And yeah it took some help
with lots of machines, the experts could tell
with their equipment pushed to the max...

And sure it seems easy now but I tell you what
We were perplexed finding the needle
in the needle's disguise

And now that it's conceived, the station has all
settled down, and I'm sort of relieved, and I'm
getting over it now...

Where does outer space end
it's sort of hard to imagine
is it real? Is it nothin, nothin?
Cause it's not so clear anymore to me...,

Why do birds always fly south
when sometimes its warm in yer headwound
is that nothin? Nothin?
Cause its not so clear anymore to me...
And if God hears all my questions
well how come there's never an answer?
Is it nothin, nothin?

I saw this bird fly off his head
without him ever lookin up
this here giraffe was never caught complainin
he wouldn't take skin off yer back.

And ya hear yerself
thinkin
and ya hear yerself
thinking
this here giraffe, laughed

I saw this man stick out his neck
with his binoculars intact
He couldn't tell the right side of his brain
Had just lost all interest in his left...
And ya feel yourself shrinkin
And ya feel yourself shrinkin
this here giraffe, laughed
this here giraffe, laughed
And ya hear yourself
And ya hear yourself

Their wasn't any snow on Christmas eve and I knew what I
should do, I thought I'd free the animals all locked up at the zoo
I opened up the fence where the peacocks were, the lamas were
unleashed the snakes and seals could all get out, but they
Refused to leave....

All of the animals agreed they're not happy at the zoos
But they preferred to save themselves, they seemed to think
they could...

The elephants, orangutans, all the birds and kangaroos all said
thanks but no thanks man, but to be concerned is good...

It started to snow on Christmas Eve in the middle of the night
walkin through the state park zoo and everything is white...
