The Flower Kings - Cosmic Circus =^_^=

abeanstalk — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 15:32:42 GMT

From the album "Adam & Eve"

From the ragged fence
to the cosmic bends
we have paved our way with eagerness
and forced the world to make some sense

In this endless space,
looking for Gods given grace
Among countless scattered dying stars
by the fireplaces we found some comfort

Waiting all to serve a greater purpose
or to join the cosmic circus now

From the garden greens
to the mountain streams
We all worked the land and payed in sweat
while sweet illusions were passing by

Like fading tribe
on the ocean wide
In a random flash we live and die
Searching all religions, reasom why

Waiting all to serve a greater purpose
or to join the cosmic circus now

From the habbit hole, to the frozen poles
we have filled our hearts with poetry
while science was our leading star

On to million suns
where our fading memories dance
While we try so hard to understand
the untold genesis of man

Waiting all to serve a greater purpose
or to join the cosmic circus now

The Trees

abeanstalk — Wed, 05 Apr 2006 14:41:00 GMT

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade

There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream 'Oppression!'
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
'The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light'
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe and saw

Hungry Freaks Daddy

Wed, 01 Mar 2006 19:02:19 GMT

Mr. America, walk on by your schools that do not teach
Mr. America, walk on by the minds that won't be reached
Mr. America try to hide the emptiness that's you inside
But once you find that the way you lied
And all the corny tricks you tried
Will not forestall the rising tide of HUNGRY FREAKS DADDY!

---Frank Zappa 1966

Joe Jackson lyrics

abeanstalk — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 17:10:59 GMT

Pretty soon now
Y'know i'm gonna make a comeback
And like the birds and the bees in the trees
It's a sure-fire smash
I'll speak
To the masses throughout the media
And if you got anything to say to me
You can say it with cash
'cause i got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money 'cause i know you think i'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile

I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Kung fu
That was one of my good ones
Well what's a few broken bones
When we all know it's good clean fun
Skateboards
I've almost made them respectable
You see i can't always get through to you
So i go for your son
I had a giant rubber shark and it really made a mark
Didja looka looka lookit alla blood
Give me all your money 'cause i know you think i'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile

I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Right now
I think i'm gonna plan a new trend
Because the line on the graph's getting low
And we can't have that
And you think you're immune
But i can sell you anything
Anything from a thin safety pin
To a pork pie hat
'cause i got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money 'cause i know you think i'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile

I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Fools in love, well are there any other kind of lovers?
Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...

Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?
Fools in love, never knowing when they've lost the game

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...

Fools in love they think they're heroes
'cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, i should know
Because this fool's in love again

Fools in love, gently hold each others hands forever
Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you do, even your rock 'n' roll now
Nothing mean a thing except you and your lady
Love your lady, love your lady
Love your lady, love...

Fools in love they think they're heroes
'cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know, i should know
Because this fool's in love again

Come on you people get your dancing shoes on
Reds and yellow and pinks and blues on
Too late, too late
To stay home and sit around

Purple leopard skin and see-through plastic
Whatever you want, but just make it drastic
Too late, too late to stay home and sit around

What you wanna bet
We ain't started yet
Baby stick around

Pushin' and shovin' and sweat wet leather
Up and down we go chained together
Too late, too late
To stay home and sit around

Somebody tellin' me the latest scandals
Somebody steppin' on my plastic sandals
Too late, too late
To stay home and sit around

What you wanna bet
We ain't started yet
Baby stick around

Too late, too late
To stay home and sit around

What you wanna bet
We ain't started yet
Baby stick around

Sun Garden

abeanstalk — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 15:28:22 GMT

people fly people flee
people clam and say "it wasn't me"
people fish people beef
people arm to teeth
yes, you've got people on the tube
walking on the moon
people at the bottom of the sea
people in tombs
people in igloos
even a tribe of pygmies

people are the main spring
turning the world around
people, they're the main spring
spinning this world upside down

people sun people toast
people tire shile other people smoke
people bowl people rock
people pay to see two people box

watch me face me
dress me baby me
phone me wire me
house me bug me fire me

people are the main spring
spinning the world around
people, they're the main spring
turning this world inside out
