Shadow of the sun
                      Shadow of the sun  there it all began
                      Shadow of the sun  dreams we all have sung
                      There behind you  where to find you
                      Live to guide you  give to take you
                      (You were the one you are)

                      Shadow of the sun  take you where you are
                      Shadow of the sun  shining bright a star
                      See around you  free the sound you
                      Breath  inspire you  seek and find you



Adventures of MGD
               Wish were I to show the low end master maker lift you over
               Tease the wailing drip of things  around the word of love and hate
               So listen toddlers everywhere if you feel you just can't take it 
               Split you're not supposed to be here
      
               Keep off the will of the spear  touching the fear of the tear
               Row, paddles unhand you  leave me alone but you
               Go, when you are lifting  easy to smell hold on
               I'm taking you higher la la la la

             Grip the ice it melts disguises  when it flows the rise and fall
             Seemed it sliced  the fools were wise  the shame of arrows pointing lies
             So listen toddlers everywhere if you feel you just can't take it 
             Split you're not supposed to be here

             Take off the hearing of steers  break off the clearing of cheers

               No, there is emotion  rhyme must abide when you
               Sow, every direction  Leaves are of green when they ride
               I'm taking you higher  la la la la



The afraid of love symphonette
               Bluebird walking on the rain glow come and follow me you're grounded
               Like tall ships that sail across  the ocean wide  come feel the tide 
               Away hey hey hey......ooh

               Givin me a breakdown  all in through ya sundown
               This is my experience  how do you feel it better
               Afraid of love

               Taste the most of all you  does it take what meant to
               Lest it's formed as I do  makes it turn before you
               Afraid of love



Slam the door
              Spring to love  must find one another  break in time 
              Too far to discover  la la la la la la la

              Free to see and we must recover  dive the beam 
              Is over the shoulder   pain in our heart to laughter
              Saving the last of doves

              Should I flee to scream as I order  faith in yours
              To skyscrapers thunder  la la la la la la la

              Slam the door eternal compiler  stables warm
              Will keep off the danger  Steep as the mountain showers
              Sleep as the nights go by
         
              Faith in the light must offer  state of the mighty wrong



Lying eye
                 We could fake our maker If we take away from a sinner
                 After she wails  but we could never pass this way 
                 We could never pass this way  a long time

                 I may take a splinter  seemed I might escape  and I'll take you
                 When you are sleeping    but there is something from the sky
                 With a motion of a lying eye



The great medley
      [The Near] Sister dimension close to the ground  
                 Come hear the sound near the ground
                 How do you give whenever  you gotta live forever
                 La la la la la la la la la la
                 Mister dimension rose of the cloud
                 Some hear the sound  in the ground
                 Running around  over and out
                 You're gonna give together  out of the seams of summer
                 La la la la la la la la la la
                 Be still near the ground  all over the ground
                 Oh oh oh oh
     [Somewhere] Burstin' in the time you believe in me
                 Take your connection  save indirection
                 Lurkin' in the way you believe in you
                 Fake the invention  till fill we mention
                 Somewhere my love  somewhere my love
                 Get what it takes to be near  save on the last that you know
                 After a while you may know  After a while you may go
                 Searchin' there's a time to relieve in me
                 State the confusion  in the collection
                 Somewhere my love  somewhere my love
                 Get what it takes to be near  save on the last that you know
                 After a while you may know  after a while you may go
    [The Strain] I'm singing in the rain  I'm walking in the strain
                 Have you seen the morning light
                 Do you see the morning light
                 I'm singing in the rain  I'm walking in the strain
                 Have to see the morning light
                 Got to see the morning light
    [Hey Doctor Doctor]
                 Hey doctor doctor  give it to me what's it again
                 Say doctor doctor  gimme gimme what you could tell
                 Can't you see that I can fail  reasons why I thought I fell
                 Teach me something make me well  how long how long
                 Hey doctor doctor  take me to the edge of the globe
                 Hey doctor doctor  such a way to call it a game
                 Can't you see that I can fail  reasons why I thought I fell
                 Teach me something make me well  how long how long          



Season of despair
                 Break on through a round of love  a lesson in your hair
                 Show me down the sound of music  message in the air

                 Spend another wishful day as far as I could last
                 Send a cloud of burning anger  slowly as we rest

                 Shadows take you with the rain  with knowlege of the steps
                 Rest assured the final perfect  season of despair

                 Spend another wishful day  as far as I could last
                 Send a cloud of burning anger slowly as we rest
