Up there
There's a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man / It serves everyone
Down there where Jonah wails
in the healing water
in the ready depths
Twisting like silver swans
No line of death no boundaries
Up there
The eye is hollow / The eye is winking
The winds ablaze / Angels howling
The sphinx awakens / But what can she say
You'd be amazed
Down there
Your days are numbers
Nothing to fear
There will be trumpets
There will be silence
In the end the end
Will be here just here
Ahh the borders of heaven
Are zipped up tight tonight
The abstract streets
The lights like some switched on Mondrian
Cats like us are obsolete
Hey Man don't breathe on my feet
Thieves, poets we're inside out
And everybody's a soldier
Angels howl at those abstract lights
And the borders of heaven
Are zipped up tight tonight
Up there
There's a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It serves man / It serves everyone
The air we breathe
The flame of wisdom
The earth we grind
The beckoning sea
It's no mystery / Not sentimental
Ahh the equation / It's all elemental
The world is restless
Heaven in flux / Angels appear
From the bright storm
Out of the shadows
Up there, down there
But what can we say
Man's been forewarned
All communion is not holy
Even those that fall
They can prophet understanding
It's all for man / It's for everyone
It's up there, down there
Everywhere / Everywhere
Time for communion / Time for communion
Talking communion ...Yeah - I smoulder like an ember
Fans the fire into a blaze
And I try not to remember
I can't forget it won't go away
Hold on tight before we go down
Give it one more chance to be around
Compromise, sacrifice
You better think again
You better think twice
Some days we'd start and never stop
No, never stop, we'd take one day at a time
And never stop, no, never stop
So I'm sitting here waiting
I'm hoping I'm praying
It's like waiting for the paint to dry
I'm sick of hearing stories
About you and this fella
They call the other guy
Lets do it together, together again
Blue rinse ladies, beer pot men
We'll never stop, don't ever stop
Won't ever stop
Our love was held together
With a rubberband and a paperclip
And whatever the weather
We'd brave the storm in a papership
Say, what you don't know won't hurt you boy
I didn't build it up for you to destroy
Some days we'd start and never stop, no, never stop
We'd take one day at a time and never stop, no never stop
never stop
Staring at each other down opposite ends
of a twenty inch telescope
As long as I can see that light in front of me
You know I'll never ever give up hope
Lets bring it together, together again
Long lost lovers - long lost friends
Don't never stop, won't ever stop, won't ever stop
--
Lets bring it together, together again
Blue rinse ladies, beer pot men
Don't never stop, won't ever stop, won't ever stop
Lets bring it together, together again
Long lost lovers - long lost friends
Don't never stop, won't ever stop, don't ever stop
