Альбом Captain Beyond

Sitting on the door stoop
Watching multiples of people pass me by
Look through the windows, through the houses
Oh, they're made of sky.

Gargoyle watching the bouncing ball
Strangers mystified by all
All the goings on
Sufficiently breathless
Sufficiently breathless.

Hey, Mr. Policeman, can you point the way
Oh, with your handgun?
Heed and the puppy and the space below
Don't you understand 'em?

Gargoyle watching the bouncing ball
Strangers mystified by all
All the goings on
Sufficiently breathless
Sufficiently breathless
Sufficiently breathless
Sufficiently breathless.

Hearing and watching all the city sounds
On the street where we live
No one to care about us
Seems it's falling down around us
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless)
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless on the street
Where we live)

Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless)
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless on the street
Where we live)

Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless)
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless on the street
Where we live)

Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless)
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless on the street
Where we live)

Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless)
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless on the street
Where we live)

Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless)
Nothing left to live for
(Sufficiently breathless on the street
Where we live)...

Baby, dance your bright blue tango
And a mystifying suite
Go bumping into strangers
Go soaring into the street
They all know it's wrong
it's just for you to try and make them see it, baby
If they want to lead us,
Ask each man if he's the one to be.

Dance your bright blue tango…
Let them see.

Watch the parade-bound sail craft
Go zipping through the multi-color stratosphere…
Get ridin', boy
Ultralucent magnetism… perennial hand of time
Honey, let me take you there…
So to the other reaches we got to go.

Dance your bright blue tango just for me…
Honey, let them see.

Ooh, there's something wrong
Take me to the sunny day
You can't hold on too long
Destiny is in my way.

Dance my bright blue tango
Make me jump and shout.

Dance your bright blue tango…
Make me jump and shout
Dance your bright blue tango…
Make me jump and shout
Dance your bright blue tango…
Make me jump and shout
Dance your bright blue tango
Make me jump and shout
Dance your bright blue tango
Make me jump and shout...

Yes, you're drifting in open space
Ain't you have no sense, babe
Of the time and place
No one to lead you but
To the open gates of your dreams, oh, boy.

While you are sifting through the planet's orb
And you stumble, stumble on forgotten gold
Yesterday's memories quickly entwine
Series of growing pains.

But you care too much
I said about things lost
All that operates, baby
All things enforced
At the basic human race
Don't let it get you down
Don't take up anything
Don't you leave my town.

While you are sifting through the planet's orb
And you stumble, stumble on forgotten gold
Yesterday's memories quickly entwine
Series of growing pains.

Yes, you're drifting in open space
Ain't you have no sense, babe
Of the time and place
No one to lead you but
To the open gates of your dreams, oh, boy.

While you're sifting through the planet's orb
And you stumble, stumble on forgotten gold
Yesterday's memories quickly entwine
Don't you see me, babe, oh, I'm drifting by, by
Friendly persuasion eclipsing the moment
That's to remember with heart-beating joy
Yesterdays are memories, they're hanging on to me
Severely, merrily playing a song.

I said evil men
Don't you know better
They never look at still water
I said you can't buy
You can't buy, no, no,
You can't buy the devil's daughter.

Evil men never look back
Evil men never look back.

I said evil men
You'll have to realize it
They never look at still water
Oh, it's very hard, very hard
Don't you know it's very hard
To buy the devil's daughter?

Evil men never look back
Evil men never look back.

I'm takin' strides
Oh, can't you see me
Walking in the wrong direction?
I try to help myself
But no,
Nobody can stop my retrospective action.

Evil men never lookin' water
Evil men never lookin' water
Evil men never lookin' water
Evil men never lookin' water
Evil men never lookin' water
Evil men never lookin' water...

Can we live on
In this perpetual dusk day
That changing kind of slows
Into mother night, oh, yeah
When the thoughts on you
From sights and sounds
And recess
Into the dungeon of a memory... see...

Know what your love means
Know your touch
Leads to distraction
Need you much
More than the ocean needs the cosmic love
Of starglow energy,
Yeah, yeah, oh, love you so, I do.

Dreams mean more to say it than you know
On those bright-lit sunny afternoons
All the thoughts and words you have being mellow,
Be mellow, if your little mind has room to think about it.

What are you having for fantasies
Spiral purple jasmine trees
Now take something more from me
A taste of starglow energy
Live a life of peace and love
Forevermore.

It's starting to take me higher...

What are you having for fantasies
Spiral purple jasmine trees
Now take something more from me
A taste of starglow energy.

Now you listen to me,
You got to start out slowly
Come on, let it take, just let take it you away
And now don't you be fooled by what you have?
And I'm certain, oh, that you're gonna find
Exactly what you need
Now listen, take this worthwhile tip from me
Take a little taste of energy
Live, spend a life of peace forevermore.
What are you doing?
Don't you turn your back on me?
Don't you close that door...

Look at the light, babe, in the city
Won't you look at it glowing now?
Too much grievin', look no pity
I cannot find a way to slow it down
Can't you see that yellow road?
My sight is lessening with illusion
I'm so lost in this confusion
I got the fever a growing now
Had to find a distant sun.

Feeling kind of lost, startin' to wonder
Can I look back with no regrets
Tryin' hard, no one to help me
I have to make or break away
Get in my car and I start to ride
Towards the things I need to feel
A mist is rising, can't you see?
Closing gate, no way out for me
Can I find a distant sun to live in?

No way out now, babe, can't you see?
So many people staring back at me
I see the closing gates and no way out now
I'm just floating down and down and down I go
Can't you see that I'm living in confusion?
And I can't find no way out, no, no.

Now you've seen the lights of the city
Tell me what you're thinkin' now
Did you see the grief and the pity?
Isn't it enough to bring you down?
That yellow road doesn't do any good, babe
You can't escape from what you see
Everywhere you look is disaster
Ain't no way to set us free?

Everything you see and hear is nothing but a joke.
Everything that you say means nothing.
...I'm sitting here with nothing else to do at this very moment...

Everything is a circle
The roads lead back again
One thing is like another, brother
And I don't mean you may be a friend
The truth is never faraway
And life can't hold you down, no, no
Your dream's not lost when compared to space
What goes up goes down, baby
Everything's a circle in space.

Yes, you are too much unique for me
Can't you see my range shrink in size?
Why can't I hold a prism of your beauty
In these old worn-out eyes?
You never stay in one place long enough, babe
For my security
Every goddamn thing is a circle
It's just too hard to see
Everything is a circle, it's just so hard to see.

Everything is a circle sinking down
Feeling like my life's been wasted
The situation simply calls on me
To rectify this combination
What is wrong with this world of mine
Falling in a spiral?
This crazy spinning circle that I'm twisting in
I got no fight for that one
Going all around again
I am embedded in a 360° spin, yeah, yeah
What is wrong with this world of mine
Falling in a spiral?

Someone try to tell me
What is wrong with this world of mine.
