V'Ger's Dream

Another time, another life, another way to get through here
Another song, another chance, another dance you once knew
Why don't you call, why don't you write, I could have sworn I was you here
The days go passing by like dust floating on the solar wind
Look what I saw, look what I've done, it's all a part of my dream
Preserve it all, don't let it fade as it washes down the stream
Look what I was, I was a king, I was a fool to believe it
The days go passing by like dust floating through a laser beam
When I left so long ago I knew you
Our songs a golden record in my arms
40,000 years or so until I find a star
And I swing on by
Wish I knew why
To all the worlds, to all the times, to all the makers of music
Just read the lines, just spin it up, put on the record again
I've gotta hope someone will find me in the empty confusion
The days go passing by like dust floating on the solar wind
When I left so long ago I knew you
Our songs a golden record in my arms
40,000 years or so until I find a star
And I swing on by
Wish I knew why

Tuckered and Strained
02:13
|

|
The sunlight is falling down like snow
And nobody knows which way to go
It's all over now, you're tuckered and strained
You'll never get out, and that's what you paid for when you know
Oooooh
Aaaaaah
We shedded our skins and now we're ticklish
I'm stumbling through this but thank God I had a witness
It's all over now, a beautiful dream, it was good while it lasted
But don't you think you're better now?

Earthquake Warning
01:08
|

|
I go to work in the morning, feels like an earthquake warning
I go out in the city, and nothing seems so pretty
I got nothing to say, I go on anyway
I'm hanging on for dear life
I'm trying not to fall, but you'd better call my wife

They're All Here Today
03:00

I saw you once in the water that night
The angels were laughing in the moonlight
And all I could think of, all I could see, was
"This is happening to me, this is happening to me"
It's funny how memories get put away
You try to keep em fresh for another day
And then, like a dream you seem to've dreamt before
Now you've opened the door, now you've opened the door
Why does it all go by so fast? Oh yes, yes
Eternity happens in a flash, so let's make it last, yes
Oh, the grandparents who I never got to meet
The beautiful strangers you pass in the street
All the good people slipping away
They're all here today, they're all here today
All the old friends who you never get to see
The colony of love you call your family
And all the groovy songs that we used to play
They're all here today, they're all here today
Why does it all go by so fast? Oh yes, yes
Eternity happens in a flash, so let's make it last, yes

For those of you who measure time, I guess your guess is good as mine
The clock just stopped for me
Cause baby, can't you see?
I'll always be here, cause today you're mine
You're mine, you're mine, you're mine
The minutes, the hours, the days and weeks and years
(No, don't wait too long)
Don't mean a thing to me because it all appears
(Sometimes it's here, sometimes it's gone)
As such a lovely flash before my eyes
(Oh, what a surprise)
The love I feel is all that's real, it's never gonna die
The minutes, the hours, the days and weeks and years
(No, don't wait too long)
Don't mean a thing to me because it all appears
(Sometimes it's here, sometimes it's gone)
As such a lovely flash before my eyes
(Oh, what a surprise)
The love I feel is all that's real, it's never gonna die
And though I know someday we'll die
And years of smoke will cloud our eyes
The clock just stopped for me
Cause baby can't you see?
I'll always be here, cause today you're mine
You're mine, you're mine, you're mine

Let Me Wait
03:17

Let me wait a little longer, for the darkness fills me up
Let me take a little time, put on a smile and try my luck
Let me skirt around the issue, let me hide it from myself
Let me close the book and put it on the shelf
Let me close the book and put it on the shelf
Well, I do believe in mercy, I just never got the knack
Let me make it easy for you and stab my own self in the back
I don't wanna sound dramatic, always thought that I could act
But I'm on the stage and now I can't go back
Yes I'm on the stage and now I can't go back
Well I sympathize with telling lies, it's the only thing to do
When you know you'll break the heart of one you love
But realize that in your eyes something else is shining through
What an awful thing for you, now what are you gonna do?
Let me wait a little longer, for the darkness fills me up
Let me take a little time, put on a smile and try my luck
Let me skirt around the issue, let me hide it from myself
Let me close the book and put it on the shelf
Let me close the book and put it on the shelf

Not Gonna Wait Anymore

Watching the world from a chair
Gonna rock and rock and roll til the sun goes down
I'm such a clown, but I don't care
I'm shaken and so beat down
I'm gonna fix myself another round and round and round and round
Til I'm somewhere
I know I let you down when I forgot what I was here for
But now I'm not gonna wait anymore
Watching the world from a chair
Gonna rock and rock and roll til the sun goes down
I'm such a clown, but I don't care
I'm shaken and so beat down
I'm gonna fix myself another round and round and round and round
Til I'm somewhere
I know I let you down when I forgot what I was here for
But now I'm not gonna wait anymore
Anymore

Ooh ooh ooh, I would've written it all down, had I known
Because the words you said to me that night made me feel like I was home
Exactly what was said is gone, so I'll have to carry on
Thinking of the way you turn me outta stone
And you know, I would've written it all down, had I known
Ooh ooh ooh, I would've written it all down, had I known
After the walk down to the beach we took, I'd never be alone
My mind might form false memories, but you gave my life back to me
Thinking how you see me through the twilight zone
And you know, I would've written it all down, had I known
And you know, I would've written it all down, had I known
Ooh ooh ooh, I would've written it all down, had I known
Because I never write when times are good
I don't know why, I know I should
Sad or happy songs, you've got to let em go
And you know, I would've written it all down, had I known
And you know, I would've written it all down, had I known

The sun keeps coming up in my mind, revealing things I hoped to find
Melting away the frozen thoughts I'd left behind
If I could follow you I would, won't feel bad for feeling good
And mountain streams will wash away the things I should
But, oh, the darkness grows
A heavy pool of fears and woes
The deep regret of missing chances in
One life, that's how it goes
I really messed it up this time
I know the fault is mine, all mine,
All mine, all mine, all mine, all mine
I don't know why
The sun keeps coming up in my mind, revealing things I hoped to find
Melting away the frozen thoughts I'd left behind
If I could follow you I would, won't feel bad for feeling good
And mountain streams will wash away the things I should
But, oh, the darkness goes
the sun comes up
And your life grows
A branch of joy
You'd never known
In your whole life
And still it grows
I never knew that I could find
A place in life that's so sublime
A garden slumbering
Has woken up to shine
The sun keeps coming up in my mind, revealing things I hoped to find
Melting away the frozen thoughts I'd left behind
If I could follow you I would, won't feel bad for feeling good
And mountain streams will wash away the things I should
