Magic Rising

Magic rising
holding, hiding
All on the inside
Silent, golden
pure heart woven
All on the inside
I don't know what it is
that makes the feelings grow
Time moves fast
but heaven
moves so slow
and I should know...
Magic rising,
your perfect heart
is beautiful and true
Can you hide it
so wonderful and new?
Will you conjure me
magic, burning
pure heart yearning
All on the inside
The forests are the keepers
of the heavenly fires
Whispering secrets
that could never be denied
I'm breathing, on the inside...
Magic rising, your perfect heart
is beautiful and true
Can you hide it
so wonderful and new?
Will you conjure me a love?
Will you conjure me enough?

The Lion and the Monkey
03:56
|

Didn’t I give you fire
when I lay in your arms
Moved you from the chapel
for the strangest of charms
To understand the night
the lion and the monkey do
Didn’t I give you secrets
when I lay in your bed
Cursed beneath the comets
in the trees where we lay
And passion turns the night,
And weighs down the moon
Sundown, Lion's den
A monkey dances
where noone dares and cries:
"O, shall I take a chance
and tomorrow dream
another dance?
when no-one makes me feel
like you do!"
Didn’t I give you magic
when I lay in your heart
Way before the moonbeams
tore the strangers apart
To understand the night
The lion and the monkey do
Didn’t I give you fire
when I lay in your head
Saved you from the dark
where we lay naked, afraid
Making the night
Rain down in blooms
Sundown, nightingale
A monkey dances
where monkey dares and cries:
"O, shall I take a chance on
another dream, another dance?
When no-one makes me feel
like you do"
Sometimes I feel like the devil inside
It pulls me up and drags me out,
impure my desire
But it’s you that I want
to dance the impossible
Your mind is wrong
like a heavenly pyre
Forgive your heart,
your head is weak,
your flesh is on fire
But Juno I want
To dance the impossible
In the garden Lion stares
while Monkey spies
another there and cries:
"O Shall I take a chance
till tomorrrow comes...
Noone makes me feel like you do!"
She's got me where she wants me

Sha-la Sunday
03:13
|
|||
She never answers against the rush
yeah she smiles when it gets too much she’s got
four questions about ABC
in her pockets
her dreams are everything
Oh-sha-la someday
The clouds will break
Oh-sha-la Sunday
She’ll get over it
In the backstreets she holds the line
draws a teardrop
against the sky she’s got
four answers about
the turn of the dice
she gets up early
and comes home every night
Oh-sha-la someday…
Like a world that shakes you up
she knows how to take you up
like changing history
she knows how to lift your day
Oh tonight she's gonna fly...
Oh sha-la Sunday
Her clouds will break
Oh-sha-la someday
The clouds will break,
the gods will play
Oh sha-la Sunday
She’ll get over it

She Glides
04:38
|

Hey Mr Mister
Mr Bang Pow absolutely shy
Wild dizzy dizzy, dizzy pulse
Through your passion flower eye
She’ll be making your fantasy
Don’t it make you feel better?
She’ll be picking up roses
when she comes
She closes her eyes
comes thru the sky, she glides
She, smoother than rainbows
everybody says so
she glides
Wild when she comes she’s a flash,
a shady miracle of love
Well I understand the breeze
But I’m hot enough
to tease the sunrise
Purple gold purple high
she’s a dancer in disguise
And a little bit of stormy rain
flowers while the sun bursts
And the summer hits the sky
She’ll be making your fantasy
Don’t it make you feel better?
She’ll be picking up roses
when she comes
She closes her eyes...
She understands
she’ll hold your hand
She’ll try to turn a man into a mouse
She comes to me, to hold up tight
I say my love will rescue me
She closes her eyes, comes thru the sky, she glides
She, smoother than rainbows, everybody says so, she glides

Li Blue Flower
02:28
|

I couldn’t hold it,
much like a dream
I couldn’t dance to your scene
It was ever so much incomplete
But hold on – that isn’t true
You’ve got to witness another
Before you sink into something new
And please,
give me your concentration
I’m not mad enough to go on
Please, your heart is ever changing
Get into something new
And feel the power
Lust like a harlot
on indigo sheets
Moving all the chairs
to the top of the stairs
Then moving down again
But time, time
that isn’t true
You’ve got to fight for your lover
before you sink into
Something new
My lil Blue flower
My appetite

Dance Always
04:12
|

One dark and lonely Summer
As I took myself from grace
She held a silver clover
I felt my heart's embrace
Then she walked in thru the morning
As if she had the time
And I lay all those Summers over
And we danced all night
And we danced all day,
and we danced always
Like mercy in the moonlight
For the years I could not change
And we danced all night
And we danced all day
Though my heart was an omen
And my knees were torn and stained
The starlight trembled like naked spies
Those songs we never noticed
We danced on thru the night
Her lips so lonely
Wild berry veiled
And through those precious roses
We danced our days
And we danced all night
And we danced all day
Til night-time came to meet us
Full of shells and frillied lace
And we danced all night
And we danced all day
Though I thought I heard weeping
On the moonbeams faraway
And we danced...
And we danced all night
And we danced all day
Like mercy for the broken
For our fears and all our fates
And the stars looked over blindly
As she looked me in the eye
And whispered laughing madly
"All our years are rushing by"
And we danced...

Andalusian Dream
03:58
|
|||
When I go to Andalucia
I’ll be where I’m oft fond to dream
In tall grass with my senorita
With daisies and shells in her hair
There’s whiskey and gin in Luscia
The sailors say strong as can be
The ladies are wild as the sea-o
But soft as the warm summer breeze
And at night I’d dance
with my true love
Winds would carry love
through the garden
And she’d colour me
with her laughter
Until her flower gives way
I’ll never be late for the moonlight
I’ll always be there by your side
But if ever you think
we should marry
I’ll tremble and kiss you goodbye
However could you dance
with another
When my very heart yearns to find
A soothing gentle breeze
through your cherry garden
Until your flower gives way
The winds won’t stop to blow
Through rains and northern floes
The captain, he still says no
The barman is drunk and
the docker’s asleep at the show
But when I go to Andaluscia
I’ll be where I’m oft fond to dream
In tall grass with my senorita
By the dream of the green cedar trees
Come on carry me crystal water
Come on carry me over the sea
Come on gentle breeze be my true love
Soothe and carry me over the sea
Come on destiny be my father
Soothe and carry me over the sea
Come on carry me crystal waters
Until her flower gives way
Until that far off day

No Passion No Crime
03:32
|

You’re right
no passion no crime
No sorrow
no pleasure, no fight
Never look back, feel it
Open your eyes
your summer will shine
Ride, ride, ride the charlatan night
You’re a dark rose
your summer will shine
Go lay your queen on the tracks
lean hard upon the wheel
Get up and dance to the music till you feel
more and more
Your summer arise
In through the sky, into the night
You with the beauteous creatures
while I get through the night
Line, line, no passion no crime
No sweetness, no terror, no life
Just once, feel touched
Open your eyes, your summer will shine
Into the sky, in through the night
You with the beauteous creatures
while I get through the night
It’s terrifying, this magical light
You with the beauteous creatures
while I get through the night
Lust don't leave me.

This God Thing
03:36

New life
new hope
new skies
new soul
new life to know
you rock and roll
you‘ve got the dope
you‘ve got to change it
you‘ve got to save your soul
you‘ve got to cheat with me
trouble’s in your mind
somewhere beneath your faith
you‘ve got to steal the boat
you‘ve got to set the sail
you can't seem to fake
a sun blessed avenue
you‘ve got to read the book
I got a place for you
you're careless in your love
the secret's in your sign
you‘ve got to see the day
shining in the night...
Changes whenever you want to
re-alight my heart
you‘ve got to change me
Sunlight whenever you want to
re-ignite the stars
you‘ve got to change me
In skies I awoke
to see you down on your knees
I have seen the face of hope
you‘ve got to beautify me
as god is in your hands
the devil's in your blood
before you feed the noise
you‘ve got to celebrate...
Angels whenever you want me,
now I know what I know
you‘ve got to change me
Sunlight whenever you want to
share a light from my heart
you‘ve got to taste me
And when I see your
sweetest tenderness
I’ll be an angel for your smile
the strength in you might
bring me happiness
the strength in you might
bring me borderline
and though I’ll never feel
your tender kiss
it's like begging for your smile
this strength in you might
bring me happiness
strength in you might
bring me borderline...
Angels whenever you want me
butterfly my soul
you‘ve got to change me
Sunlight whenever you want to
stay alive to my heart
you‘ve got to taste me
And though you say your days
are gonna see the light
before you change your world
you‘ve got to change your mind
here beneath the sun
you‘ve got to seal your heart
before you save your soul
you‘ve got to sail the dark...
I just ever wanted to crucify me
every single day to get what i need
the only thing i wanted
was to do what i please
so crucify me

True Love Comes
04:04
|

Look up, see the sky born of grey
Where words that twist
are blown away
Look up, as if this was born to be
The eyehole where the raging beast
will lie
In a world where hope parades
The innocence we face
This burning fire will softly rage
And will overcome so look out...
See the world, it’s cold and dark
But that’s no way to wake
your sleeping heart
In the morning sun an iris we’ll find
And we’ll be born again on all sides
And though the world is silver and gold
Kiss the promises whispering slow
Cool water breathes fire on the soul
And memories do lie …that’s why, that’s why
Watch out
That’s why, when you want to cheat
your still dreams solemn-sweet
I’m just a man who’s always on the street
I will be woken up
on moving arms so strong
And I will be there
Together you and I
Well's the man whose world has faded
I just won’t wait
Feed the fire let stealth remain
Anyway it goes, I will be there
To overcome, true love comes
All your days, hold your faith,
I'll love you till I die
All your days, hold your faith,
until the day we die

Captains and Artisans
05:30
|

Sometimes it gets so hard to care
And sometimes it gets so hard to understand
Feeling, breathing, the picture within
Feeling, breathing, the picture we made
Windward blue sailor, on colours we rise
I know how to get through summer
Till water comes to cover our goodbyes…
Captains and artisans, all lost at sea
Playgrounds and carousels
while I kiss this kissing dream
Sometimes a lover’s touch will die
Breaking hearts and you and I divide
Dance on blue oceans,
on dolphins we ride
The azure new world
of the strange sun
Windward blue sailors
through all we shine
To hold you once in darkest jade
To play, to hide…
Captains and artisans, all lost at sea
Playgrounds and carosels
while I kiss this kissing dream
Way up in the sky, a seabird flies…
Windward blue sailor through all we shine
Windward blue angel on colours we ride
But water so cold
we came ever so close
To feel it come of age
Water so cold we
came ever so close
To fall upon the treasures that you hide
Captains and artisans, all lost at sea
Playgrounds and carousels, while I kiss this kissing dream
