Synchronicity

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,..........
