Intro Under The Paving Stones: The Beach

[No lyrics]

. . .


Space exploration for nuclear stations
NASA corrupters, jewelled abductors
Space exploration, excursion to the
stars
On a military mission on a military
mission to Mars
I'll see you in my star
I'll see you in my star

Solar system bases, the new world
order
Lust for space dust, forming galaxy
borders
Never seeking new life, only planning
war
Sending satellites at new height,
satellites to destroy
I'll see you in my star
I'll see you in my star

Space exploration for nuclear stations
Nasa corrupters, jewelled abductors
Space exploration, excursion to the
stars
On a military mission on a military
mission to Mars
To boldly go where no man's ever
been before
Astronauts the new conquistadores
See you in my star
I'll see you in my star (x3)


. . .


Down by the river side I waited
there for you
Take you back in time
You’re in suspension, hey I caught
you
You cannot hide, it’s all inside, easy
She knows you can’t see me

Yes Mr Miser, Mr, Mr Mystery she’s
saying to me
Saying he can’t see you, he can’t
free you, he can’t be you
He just wanna be you
He needs a dealer as a healer

I’ve seen that expression on your
face
I could have sent you to that place
Expression can’t see me

Yes, I’m reminded of those days
Take you back in time, it’s all unite
Here comes a reason to my rhyme
The man used to fly, he used to fly
easy
But know you can’t see me

I know mine, mine know me
I can sail upon your sea
I can sail upon your sea so easy she
knows you can’t see me

I’ve seen that expression on your
face
I could have sent you to that place
I know you can’t see me
I know you can’t see me


. . .


Brother fire I got to verse with you
I just ran into this ice cold cube
Thought it's ways could freeze me out
So I left him melting there no doubt hey

I suggest you think again my friend
Love is a circle with no end
A message given heaven sent
I've seen you cause your own descent yeah

I smell a fox all alone at night
Ten thousand footsteps out of sight
I turned your darkness into light
Get down, she'll blind you
Get down, she'll hypnotise you
She'll see clean right inside your plan
And turn to say that ain't no man

Sister fire, I feel your glow
Walk on true cause they don't know
Sister ice I felt your chill
It must have been a bitter pill yeah

I smell a fox all alone at night
Ten thousand footsteps out of sight
I turned your darkness into light
Get down, she'll blind you
Get down, she'll hypnotise you
She'll see clean right inside your plan
And turn to say that ain't no man

. . .


Is the sun yes
The size of a beach ball
The earth shall be the size of a
sweet, sweet pea
Let it be so it goes blow your nose
Yeah, yeah, yeah I hear you, I hear
you calling
Electric lightning lights the night until
the morning
I caught you stalling on me every
day, no way

It’s the moon yes
That turns the tides
On the ocean bed a starfish starts to
slide
Into the sand the way it planned
right on time

I can see the sunshine in the rain
It’s all be done before, that’s what
she says
I can see you got the sunshine in the
rain


. . .


I’m alone in the country
Took a walk in the country
All alone in the country

Blade of grass in the country
Sour mash in the country
All the cash in the country

There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England no, no,
no

I’ll call you home
Then you start delivering
Taking my time then you start your
quibbling
Now I know your meddling, you’re
still back pedalling
I should have quit you a long long
time ago

There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England no, no,
no

There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England no, no,
no

There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England
There are no lions in England no, no,
no


. . .


You tell lies when the truth will do
You are the social chameleon what
on earth we gonna do with you?
Slip your neck into a rope, show me
a smile
You’d run a mile
Then you are free, so where’s the
goal?
Where’s the style? You want the
dough
Got dead sea scrolls for you and
your women too

She’s got corpses in her mouth
Still she’s holding hands with you
It’s cut like crystal chandeliers
I’ll shine like diamonds in her ears

She smokes crack, it’s off the beaten
track
You are the social chameleon, you
change to suit the people around
you
It’s like the waves that hit the shore
You cannot stand the force of law
Look man, I know it from your nature
Hit the deck

Hit the deck, as the creator
Got dead sea scrolls for you and
your women too

She’s got corpses in her mouth
Still she’s holding hands with you
It’s cut like crystal chandeliers
I’ll shine like diamonds in her ears


. . .


Full of decision laden with choice
Cast in a picture that is better than most
And while you work on your big master plan
The pawn's around you we're not part of the plan

Extended visions, distorted dreams
All based on image, it's not all that it seems
You'll walk on water if they told you they like
There's just one problem, you just missed the tide

What happened to ya
Did you change your mind
What happened to ya
We were one of a kind
Did you bury your face
Like an ostrich
You can't seem to hold on
You can't seem to get it on, get it on, get it on

Cast iron illusions, feelings locked in a safe
I saw you running to your own secret place
So very trusting of those people around
A new safe haven is the place that you've found

Extended visions distorted dreams
All based on image, it's not all that it seems
You'll walk on water if they told you they like
There's just one problem, you've just missed the tide

What happened to ya
Did you change your mind
What happened to ya
We were one of a kind
Did you bury your face
Like an ostrich
You can't seem to hold on
You can't seem to get it on, get it on, get it on

We were one of a kind

Did you bury your face
Like an ostrich
You can't seem to hold on
You can't seem to get it on, get it on, get it on

. . .


What happened to ya
Did you change your mind
What happened to ya
We were one of a kind
Did you bury your face
Like an ostrich
You can't seem to hold on
You can't seem to get it on, get it on, get it on

What happened to ya
Did you change your mind

What happened to ya
Did you change your mind

What happened to ya
We were one of a kind
Did you bury your face
Like an ostrich
You can't seem to hold on
You can't seem to get it on, get it on, get it on

Did you change your mind
What happened to ya
We were one of a kind
Did you bury your face

What happened to ya
What happened to ya

. . .


Fed up of excuses
There’s nothing more to say
Sands of your patience have surely
drained away
Backed into a corner built of my
design
Peer into the future entwined is
yours and mine
I know this can't go on if things
remain the same
Drastic change is needed, it’s driving
me insane

Nah nah nah nah nah

Although we realise it
I hope it’s not too late
Beggin’ all the pardons please don’t
lock the gate
A spider’s web was woven full of
much deceit
I know you re exhausted too much
to repeat
I know this can’t go on if things
remain the same
The words have failed me, theres
nothing more to say

Nah nah nah nah nah
Talking about a real thing

I’m too embarrassed to look you in
the eye
You stuck your neck out, gosh at
least a thousand times
There’s no more courage just to ask
the reason why
Why, why, why?
Talking about a real thing, talking
about a real thing

Nah nah nah nah nah


. . .


I’ve seen you
You’ve never been yourself
That’s what you pay your shrink for
You’re mean, you thinking of no one
but yourself
What do you think all the love’s for?

I only ever wanted the one with the
flag
But all you ever wanted was a sixty
dollar bag
And a cheap limousine for your deep
pile dream
On the highway

Shut your mouth and bend down low
Sit back and watch the flowers grow
People change but it was never a
game
Go wash your face and your hands
cause we all look the same

I only ever wanted the one with the
flag
But all you ever wanted was a sixty
dollar bag
And a cheap limousine for your deep
pile dream
On the highway

See no hear no, so why do you go
and speak so
Talking pouring scorn on the bold
I closed the door on your cold breath
wish
You went and gave your tongue to a
devil on a dish

I only ever wanted the one with the
flag
But all you ever wanted was a sixty
dollar bag
And a cheap limousine for your deep
pile dream
On the highway

I only ever wanted the one with the
flag
But all you ever wanted was a sixty
dollar bag
And a cheap limousine for your deep
pile dream
On the highway
