| I saw it written and
I saw it say Pink moon is on its way And none of you stand so tall Pink moon gonna get ye all And it's, yes it's a pink moon Pink, pink, pink, pink Pink, pink moon. Pink, pink, pink, pink Pink moon. I saw it written and I saw it say Pink moon is on its way And none of you stand so tall Pink moon gonna get ye all And it's a pink moon Yes, a pink moon. |

| When I was young,
younger than before I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now I'm older see it face to face And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place. And I was green, greener than the hill Where flowers grew and the sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be. And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought I'd see when day was done Now I'm weaker than the palest blue Oh, so weak in this need for you. |

| You can say the sun is
shining if you really want to I can see the moon and it seems so clear You can take the road that takes you to the stars now I can take a road that'll see me through I can take a road that'll see me through. You can take a road that takes you to the stars now I can take a road that'll see me through I can take a road that'll see me through I can take a road that'll see me through. |

| Which will you
go for Which will you love Which will you choose from From the stars above Which will you answer Which will you call Which will you take for For your one and all And tell me now Which will you love the best. Which do you dance for Which makes you shine Which will you choose now If you won't choose mine Which will you hope for Which can it be Which will you take now If you won't take me And tell me now Which will you love the best. |

| Please beware of
them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what I say. Look around you find the ground Is not so far from where you are But not too wise For down below they never grow They're always tired and charms are hired From out of their eyes Never surprise. Take your time and you'll be fine And say a prayer for people there Who live on the floor And if you see what's meant to be Don't name the day or try to say It happened before. Don't be shy you learn to fly And see the sun when day is done If only you see Just what you are beneath a star That came to stay one rainy day In autumn for free Yes, be what you'll be. Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what I say. Open up the broken cup Let goodly sin and sunshine in Yes that's today. And open wide the hymns you hide You find reknown while people frown At things that you say But say what you'll say About the farmers and the fun And the things behind the sun And the people round your head Who say everything's been said And the movement in your brain Sends you out into the rain. |

| Know that I love
you Know I don't care You know that I see you You know I'm not there. |

| Lifting the mask from
a local clown Feeling down like him Seeing the light in a station bar And travelling far in sin Sailing downstairs to the northern line Watching the shine of the shoes And hearing the trials of the people there Who's to care if they lose. And take a look you may see me on the ground For I am the parasite of this town. Dancing a jig in a church with chimes A sign of the times today And hearing no bell from a steeple tall People all in dismay Falling so far on a silver spoon Making the moon for fun And changing a rope for a size too small People all get hung. Take a look and see me coming through For I am the parasite who travels two by two. When lifting the mask from a local clown And feeling down like him And I'm seeing the light in a station bar And travelling far in sin And I'm sailing downstairs to the northern line Watching the shine of the shoes And hearing the trials of the people there Who's to care if they lose. And take a look you may see me on the ground For I am the parasite of this town. And take a look you may see me in the dirt For I am the parasite who hangs from your skirt. |

| I know you I care too I see through All of the pictures that you keep on the wall All of the people that will come to the ball But hear me calling, won't you give me A free ride Hear me calling, won't you give me A free ride. I know too What you do When you're through Counting the cattle as they go by the door Keeping a carpet that's so thick on the floor But hear me calling, won't you give me A free ride Hear me calling, won't you give me A free ride. I know you I care too I see through All of the pictures that you keep on the wall All of the people that will come to the ball But hear me calling, won't you give me A free ride Hear me calling, won't you give me A free ride. |

| Falling fast and falling
free you look to find a friend Falling fast and falling free this could just be the end Falling fast you stoop to touch and kiss the flowers that bend And you're ready now For the harvest breed. |

| A day once dawned, and
it was beautiful A day once dawned from the ground Then the night she fell And the air was beautiful The night she fell all around. So look see the days The endless coloured ways And go play the game that you learnt From the morning. And now we rise And we are everywhere And now we rise from the ground And see she flies And she is everywhere See she flies all around So look see the sights The endless summer nights And go play the game that you learnt From the morning. |
