I’ve been walking so long,
That my feet feel like boulders rolling across the ground.
And oh, how I’ve waited for a sign!
And I look up and see a crossroad, and the lines are pointing up and down.
I’m going back to the sky!
Astro-Wolf,
I’m gonna visit the moon,
Astro-Wolf,
I’m gonna do what I do best,
Astro-Wolf,
I miss the pack now and then,
Astro-Wolf,
But then I remember the sky is the road wherever I wanna go…
Well, I look up and see a crossroad, and the lines are pointing up and down,
Oh how I’ve waited for a sign,
This earth is holding me down!
This earth is holding me down!
I’m going back to the sky…
Astro-Wolf,
I’m gonna visit the moon,
Astro-Wolf,
I’m gonna do what I do best,
Astro-Wolf,
I miss the pack now and then,
Astro-Wolf,
But then I remember the sky is the road wherever I wanna go today!

Step down from the stage now,
Though daylight might make you strange,
Big shoes and painted smiles are becoming at night.
Here out in the real world,
Where the business man wakes to the beckoning sun,
In daylight, what they must think!
Oh, how they laugh. Oh, how we laugh.
Maybe it’s a hooker, maybe it’s a clown,
But it all looks the same when you’re up looking down.
Fasten seatbelts, lock the doors,
Windows block the thunderstorm,
Until I see a figure there,
With a painted face and wild red hair.
Maybe it’s a hooker, maybe it’s a clown,
But it all looks the same when you’re up looking down.
Hail to the fallen star!

Remember when we were older and we did as we should?
Now we’re older, that’s over, and isn’t it good?
Damn!
I thought I needed a mortgage, some kids, and a wife.
Now I’ve got ‘em, don’t want ‘em, and isn’t that life?!
Damn!
When all the monsters that I’ve made won’t do my bidding anymore,
All my plans are dying faster than they’re being born!
When all the monsters that I’ve made won’t do my bidding anymore,
When all the things I create are all in pieces on the floor,
All my plans are dying faster than they’re being born!
Remember when we were younger and we did as we should?
Now we’re older so it’s over,
Now we’re damned!

Skyline
03:03

In movement,
In reveille with your eyes.
Like jagged teeth, an open mouth in surprise,
Of waking giants!
The buildings seem to arise…
The sun, it sets.
Here comes the night.
You may wonder why you came,
But you’ll never question why you stayed,
Looking at the skyline.
You may wonder why you came,
But you’ll never question why you stayed,
Looking at the skyline.
The skyline…
And underfoot, little people scatter,
They’re trivial, little bits of matter.
Your arms are clubs, your legs are giant hammers,
And you raise your voice and send it into the night…
You may wonder why you came,
But you’ll never question why you stayed,
Looking at the skyline.
You may wonder why you came,
But you’ll never question why you stayed,
Looking at the skyline.
The skyline…

Night Owl

I don’t often find myself pining, while alone, for love,
But when it hits, it’s all that longing all at once.
And no one is more surprised than I, the one that I’m sick of,
The mirror pains me,
The steps to go from love to lust,
Of knowing who I cannot trust.
It’s all that longing all at once,
All that longing all at once,
It’s all that longing all at once,
How cynical the moment is…
I’m hiding from the daylight.
I’m a night owl, hoot, hoot!
Burning out my lamplight!
There are those who hope and pray,
Rejecting their sympathy, I stay away,
Oh, rue the day!
I was young and alive in my naievity.
How overwhelming…
It’s all that longing all at once,
All that longing all at once,
It’s all that longing all at once,
How cynical the moment is…
Now I’m hiding from the daylight.
I’m a night owl, hoot, hoot!
Don’t you call me uptight!
I’m just a night owl, hoot, hoot!
Living by the moonlight!

Waste My Time

You’re getting good at keeping company of bad news,
Making your mark by stepping on whomever you choose.
A martyr that could make a lemming jealous,
Heartbreaker and they’re all afraid to tell us.
Why do I waste my time?
Why do I waste my time on you?
Little oysters follow you and they don’t know what you’ve planned.
Your best of friends are broken shells alone in the sand.
You made a few waves and you’re impressed with yourself,
And to hell with me and everyone else!
Why do I waste my time?
Why do I waste my time on you?

Queen Of Hell
03:40

Rising up from the shadow for the prize he thought he had won,
He covered up his eye like he’d never beheld the sun,
Oh lady of light,
Come into the night…
He dragged her down into the deepest well,
His cold pale hand like a diving bell,
He said “Hold on. Trust me. I won’t ever let you go.”
The fantasy, the fairytale,
The tragic story of the Queen of Hell.
She holds on to the world above and won’t ever let it go.
All her choices measured by deceit,
The innocent can fall so easily,
And now the winters here are so damn cold,
Her mother’s tears won’t melt the ice and snow.
He dragged her down into the deepest well,
His cold pale hand like a diving bell,
He said “Hold on. Trust me. I won’t ever let you go.”
The fantasy, the fairytale,
The tragic story of the Queen of Hell.
She holds on to the world above and won’t ever let it go.

Circle The Wagons

We were walking through the courtyard,
It was a bright and sunny day,
The colored fabric mixing well with the smell of fresh baking bread,
As I’m walking passed a window,
A ruby necklace in the pane,
And behind it is a man with a gun in a gentleman’s face.
There’s nothing to see,
That poor family,
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on…
What a candid show, what a candid show,
Did you see him fight?
Did you hear him crow?
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on…
Carry on.
We were walking through the courtyard,
It was a bright and sunny day,
There were children in a circle pointing and laughing at something,
As we came a little closer,
A couple stumbled through the door,
And it was clear to me that he wanted his, but they wanted more.
There’s nothing to see,
That poor family,
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on…
What a candid show, what a candid show,
Did you see him fight?
Did you hear him crow?
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on…
Carry on.
Is that what you want to see?
A hillbilly get angry?
Is that what you want to see?
Is that what you want to see?
A man like me get angry?
Is that what you want to see?
I’ve got baby on the way!
I’ve got trouble and it needs wheels but I can’t pay!
And everytime I turn around,
The man’s on his way!
Circle the wagons!
Circle the wagons!
So you think you’ve got it made, well do ya?
I’ve seen better men than you, on his last leg,
And believe me, buddy, he knows how to beg!
Circle the wagons!
Circle the wagons!
There’s nothing to see,
That poor family,
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on…
What a candid show, what a candid show,
Did you see him fight?
Did you hear him crow?
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on…
Carry on.

Crook the Hero

He smelled your game from across the room,
Like an eighties high school bully,
You’re waste deep in moldy milk and honey,
And you’ve got yourself all covered up in funny money.
Look who’s at it again…
Crook the Hero,
But Baby’s on her way,
Crook the Hero,
Eyeliner macramé,
Crook the Hero,
You know what people say,
“Look who’s at it again…”
He’s like a lion in a petting zoo,
He don’t what to do with himself,
Keep your shirt on, he’s coming for you!
He’s got his middle all lit up in a touch-me-pelt.
Well, his name is Crook The Hero,
But it’s Baby’s show,
And if she’s not around you hear the bad guys go,
Nah, nah, nah…
Look who’s at it,
Look who’s at it,
Crook is at it again…oh!
Crook the Hero,
But Baby’s on her way,
Crook the Hero,
Shining white Chevrolet,
Crook the Hero,
You know what people say…
Well, his name is Crook The Hero,
But it’s Baby’s show,
And if she’s not around you hear the bad guys go,
Nah, nah, nah…
