Lyrics


1. BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP

The morning is dead
And the day is, too
There's nothing left here to meet me
But the velvet moon
All my loneliness I have felt today
It's like a little more than enough
To make a man throw himself away

And I continue
To burn the midnight lamp
Alone

Now the smiling portrait of you
Is still hangin' on my frowning wall
It really doesn't, really doesn't bother me too much at all
It's just the ever falling dust
That makes it so hard for me to see
That forgotten earring layin' on the floor
Facing coldly towards the door

I continue
To burn the midnight lamp
Lord, alone

Loneliness is such a drag

So here I sit to face
That same old fire place
Gettin' ready for the same old explosion
Goin' through my mind
And soon enough time will tell,
About the circus in the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me
Someone to toll my bell

But I continue
To burn the midnight lamp
Lord, alone


2. THE STARS THAT PLAY WITH LAUGLING SAM'S DICE

The stars up above that play with laughing sam's dice
They make us feel the world was made for us
The zodiac glass that bleams come through the skies
It will happen soon, for you

And a way we go
Yeah
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
And now we would like to bring to you our wide lonely Freindly neighborhood
Experience me
Right now listen
The milky way express is loaded, all aboard
I promise each and every one fo you you won't be bored
What i'm really concerned about
Is my grand-new pair of butterfly roller skates
Thank you, thank you

No throwing cigarette butts out the window
No throwing cigarette butts out the window
Now if you look to your right you'll se saturn
If you look to the left you'll see mars
I hope your brought your parachutes with you
Hey look out!
Look out for that door
Don't open that door
Don't open that door
Oh well
That's the way it goes
Hey, everything is all right now


Darlin' can't ya hear me callin' you?
So lonely
Gonna have to blow my mind
Lonely
