    Synchronicity I  | 
  
With one breath, with one flow
    You will know
    Synchronicity
A sleep trance, a dream dance,
    A shared romance,
    Synchronicity
A connecting principle,
    Linked to the invisible
    Almost imperceptible
    Something inexpressible.
    Science insusceptible
    Logic so inflexible
    Causally connectible
    Yet nothing is invincible.
If we share this nightmare
    Then we can dream
    Spiritus mundi.
If you act, as you think,
    The missing link,
    Synchronicity.
We know you, they know me
    Extrasensory
    Synchronicity.
A star fall, a phone call,
    It joins all,
    Synchronicity.
It's so deep, it's so wide
    Your inside
    Synchronicity.
Effect without a cause
    Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
    Synchronicity
    
    
  
Fifty million years ago
    You walked upon the planet so,
    Lord of all that you could see
    Just a little bit like me,
Walking in your footsteps,
    Walking in your footsteps.
    Walking in your footsteps,
    Walking in your footsteps.
Hey Mr. Dinosaur
    You really couldn't ask for more.
    You were God's favorite creature,
    But you didn't have a future,
Walking in your footsteps,
    Walking in your footsteps.
    Walking in your footsteps,
    Walking in your footsteps.
Hey there mighty brontosaurus
    Don't you have a message for us.
    You thought your rule would always last
    There were no lessons in your past.
    You were built three stories high
    They say you would not hurt a fly
    If we explode the atom bomb,
    Would they say that we were dumb.
Walking in your footsteps,
    Walking in your footsteps.
    Walking in your footsteps,
    Walking in your footsteps.
Fifty million years ago
    They walked upon the planet so
    They live in a museum
    It's the only place you'll see 'em.
Walking in your footsteps
They say the meek shall inherit the earth...
    They say the meek shall inherit the earth...
Walking in your footsteps
    
    
  
Everyone I know is lonely
    And God is so far away,
    And my heart belongs to no one,
    So now sometimes I pray
    Please take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.
    Take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.
Oh my God you take the biscuit
    Treating me this way
    Expecting me to treat you well
    No matter what you say.
    How can I turn the other cheek
    It's black and bruised and torn
    I've been waiting
    Since the day that I was born.
    Take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.
    Take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.
The fat man in his garden
    The thin man at his gate
    My God you must be sleeping
    Wake up, it's much too late.
Take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.
    Take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.
Do I have to tell the story
    Of a thousand rainy days?
    Since we first met,
    It's a big enough umbrella
    But it's always me that ends up getting wet.
    
    
  
Well the telephone is ringing,
    Is that my mother on the phone?
    Telephone is ringing,
    Is that my mother on the phone?
    The telephone is screaming,
    Won't she leave me alone?
    The telephone is ringing,
    Is that my mother on the phone?
Well every girl that I go out with
    Becomes my mother in the end.
    Every girl I go out with
    Becomes my mother in the end.
    Well I hear my mother calling,
    But I don't need her as a friend.
    Well every girl I go out with
    Becomes my mother in the end.
Oh, Oh mother
    Oh mother dear please listen
    And don't devour me.
    Oh mother dear please listen
    Don't devour me.
    Oh women please have mercy
    Let this poor boy be.
    Oh mother dear please listen
    And don't devour me.
    Oh mother......
Well the telephone is ringing
    Is that my mother on the phone?
    Telephone is ringing
    Is that my mother on the phone?
Oh mother
    
    
  
Don't tell the director I said so
    But are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    We were at a policy meeting
    They were planning new ways of cheating.
    I didn't want to rock your boat,
    But you sent this dangerous note,
    You've been letting your feelings show.
Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    Miss Gradenko are you safe?
    Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    Miss Gradenko are you safe?
Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Nobody but us
    Nobody but us.
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Nobody but us.
Your uniform doesn't seem to fit-
    You're much too alive in it.
    You've been letting your feelings show.
Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    Miss Gradenko are you safe?
Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Nobody but us in here
    Nobody but us.
Nobody but us in here
    Nobody but us.
    
    
  
Another suburban family morning.
    Grandmother screaming at the wall.
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
    We can't hear anything at all.
    Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration,
    But we know all her suicides are fake.
Daddy only stares into the distance
    There's only so much more that he can take.
    Many miles away something crawls from the slime
    At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake.
Another industrial ugly morning
    The factory belches filth into the sky.
    He walks unhindered through the picket lines today,
    He doesn't think to wonder why.
    The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street,
    But all he ever thinks to do is watch.
    And every single meeting with his so-called superior
    Is a humiliating kick in the crotch.
    Many miles away something crawls to the surface
    Of a dark Scottish lake.
Another working day has ended.
    Only the rush hour hell to face.
    Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes.
    Contestants in a suicidal race.
    Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance,
    He knows that something somewhere has to break.
    He sees the family home now looming in the headlights,
    the pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache.
    Many miles away there's a shadow on the door
    Of a cottage on the shore
    Of a dark Scottish lake...
    
    
  
Every breath you take
    Every move you make
    Every bond you break
    Every step you take
    I'll be watching you.
Every single day
    Every word you say
    Every game you play
    Every night you stay
    I'll be watching you.
Oh can't you see
    You belong to me?
    How my poor heart aches with every step you take.
Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you.
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace.
    I dream at night, I can only see your face.
    I look around but it's you I can't replace.
    I keep crying baby, baby please...
Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you.
Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you...
    
    
  
There's a little black spot on the sun today
    That's my soul up there.
    It's the same old thing as yesterday
    That's my soul up there.
    There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
    That's my soul up there.
    There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
    That's my soul up there.
I have stood here before in the pouring rain
    With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
    I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign,
    But it's my destiny to be the king of pain...
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
    There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
    There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
    There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
    There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
    There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
    There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
    There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
    There's a little black spot on the sun today.
    It's the same old thing as yesterday,
    That's my soul up there...
I have stood here before in the pouring rain
    With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
    I guess I always thought you could end this reign,
    But it's my destiny to be the king of pain...
I'll always be king of pain...
    
    
  
You consider me the young apprentice
    Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes.
    Hypnotized by you if I should linger
    Staring at the ring around your finger.
    I have only come here seeking knowledge,
    Things they would not teach me of in college.
    I can see the destiny you sold
    turned into a shining band of gold.
I'll be wrapped around your finger.
    I'll be wrapped around your finger.
Mephistopheles is not your name,
    But I know what you're up to just the same.
    I will listen hard to your tuition,
    And you will see it come to it's fruition.
I'll be wrapped around your finger.
    I'll be wrapped around your finger.
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
    Vanish in the air you'll never find me.
    I will turn your face to alabaster,
    Then you'll find your servant is your master,
And you'll be wrapped around my finger.
    I'll be wrapped around your finger.
    You'll be wrapped around my finger.
    I'll be wrapped around your finger...
    
    
  
My sisters and I
    Have this wish before we die.
    And it may sound strange
    As if our minds are deranged.
    Please don't ask us why
    Beneath the sheltering sky
    We have this strange obsession
    You have the means in your possession.
We want our tea in the Sahara with you.
    We want our tea in the Sahara with you.
The young man agreed
    He would satisfy their need
    So they danced for his pleasure
    With a joy you could not measure.
    They would wait for him here
    The same place every year.
    Beneath the sheltering sky
    Across the desert he would fly.
Tea in the Sahara with you.
    Tea in the Sahara with you.
The sky turned to black-
    Would he ever come back?
    They would climb a high dune
    They would pray to the moon.
    But he'd never return,
    So the sisters would burn
    As their eyes searched the land
    With their cups full of sand.
Tea in the Sahara with you.
    Tea in the Sahara with you...
    
    
  
Once that you've decided on a killing,
    First you make a stone of your heart.
    And if you find that your hands are still willing,
    Then you can turn a murder into art.
There really isn't any need for bloodshed,
    You just do it with a little more finesse.
    If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee,
    Then it avoids an awful lot of mess.
It's murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
    It's as easy to learn as your ABC.
    Murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
    It's as easy to learn as your ABC.
Now if you have a taste for this experience
    And you're flushed with your very first success,
    Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
    And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to
    It's a habit-forming need for more and more.
    You can bump off every member of your family
    And anybody else you find a bore
Because it's murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
    It's as easy to learn as your ABC
    Murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
    It's as easy to learn as your ABC.
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
    In history's great dark hall of fame.
    All our greatest killers were industrious
    At least the ones that we all know by name.
But you can reach the top of your profession
    If you become the leader of the land,
    For murder is the sport of the elected,
    And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
Because it's murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
    It's as easy to learn as your ABC.
    Murder by numbers, 1, 2, 3,
    It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E...
