Over the mountain take me across the sky
Something in my vision,
Something deep inside
Where did I wander,
Where d'ya think I wandered to
I've seen life's magic
Astral plane I travel through
I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
And said I'd show them how
Over and over always tried to get away
Living in a daydream
Only place I had to stay
Fever of a breakout
Burning in me miles wide
People around me
Talking to the walls inside
Don't need no astrology
It's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to ride with me
I'm free
Over and under
In between the ups and downs
My mind's carpet
Magic ride goes round and round.
Over the mountain
Kissing silver inlaid clouds
Watching my body
Disappear into the crowd
Don't need no astrology
It's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to ride with me
I'm free
Got a crazy feeling I don't understand
Gotta get away from here
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear
Momma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
'Cause you can't see
What my eyes see
I can see it,
I can see it
And you can't be inside of me,
Flying high again
I can see through the mountains
Watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colours of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy
You bet
Momma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is read
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again come on and join me.
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again come on and join me.
Daddy thinks I'm lazy
He don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm crazy
But I'm in demand
Never heard a thing I said
Momma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
How many times can they fill me with lies
And I listen, again
Twisting the truth
And they're playin' around with my head O.K.
The things they will do
And the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries
For the reason today
And they don't really know
Even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve.
Leave me alone
Don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock'n'roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change,
May think it's strange
You can't kill rock'n'roll
It's here to stay.
Looking through eyes of time
Mirrors reflecting their
stories untrue
Promises promises,
Telling me all of my glories overdue.
How many times have I heard it before
And I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights,
Pawn in a table fight Losing to you.
And they don't really know
Even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve.
Leave me alone
Don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock'n'roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change,
May think it's strange
You can't kill rock'n'roll it's here to stay.
Even the rhymes that they give me in times of confession
ain't true
Outcome is obvious
All for them none for us meaning you too
The things they will do
And the things they will say
When they don't really understand
Fear of rejection I need their protection
I'm making a stand
And they don't really know
Even what they're talkin' about
And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve.
Leave me alone
Don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock'n'roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change,
May think it's strange
You can't kill rock'n'roll it's here to stay
Leave me alone
Don't want your promises no more
'Cause rock'n'roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change,
May think it's strange
You can't kill rock'n'roll it's here to stay
Watching time go and feeling belief grow
Rise above the obstacles
People beseech me
But they will never teach me
Things that I already know
I know
Dreams that I have shattered
May not have mattered
Take another point of view
Doubts will arise though
Like chasing a rainbow
I can tell a thing or two
That's true
You've got to believe in yourself
Or no one will believe in you
Imagination like a bird on the wing
Flying, free for you to use
OK baby
I can't believe they stop and stare
And point their fingers doubting me
Their disbelief suppresses them
But they're not blind
It's just that they won't see
I'm a believer, I ain't no deceiver
Mountains move before my eyes
Destiny planned out I don't need no handout
Speculation of the wise
Wrything and screaming
The pain just won't go
He'll show you no mercy
Your image in his hands
It's useless to try
Escaping his curses
The pins and needles
Prick the skin of little dolls.
Tortured and flaming
You give birth to hell
Living a nightmare
It's a pity
You'll pray for your death
But he's in no hurry
The pins and needles
Prick the skin of little dolls.
No where to run
Your fate is in his hands
Your time has come
You'll live to his command
I'm warning you
The worst is yet to come
The killer who
Remains a mystery
I that believe in the stories of old
Would never fight it
Demons and curses that play on our soul
Like something ignited
You never imagined such a fate could follow you
You never thought it was true
And when it's your time
I wonder how you'll do
Your kind of trouble's
running deeper than the sea
You broke the world
You've been a fool
The little doll is you yeah!
No where to run
Your fate is in his hands
Your time has come
You'll live to his command
I'm warning you
The worst is yet to come
The killer who
Remains a mystery
Wrything and screaming
The pain just won't go
He'll show you no mercy
Your image in his hands
It's useless to try
Escaping his curses
No where to run
Your fate is in his hands
Your time has come
You'll live to his command
I'm warning you
The worst is yet to come
The killer who
Remains a mystery
Now I'm back out on the streets again
It never rains unless it pours
Try to get back on my feet again
I hear the raging thunder as it roars
Tonight, tonight is it just a rhapsody
Or am I right
Tonight, tonight is it all a mystery
I just can't fight no more
I hear the questions surface my mind
Of the mistakes that I have made.
Times and places have left behind
And am I ever gonna make the grade
Tonight, tonight is it just a rhapsody
Or am I right
Tonight, tonight is it all a mystery
I just can't fight no more
As I beat my head against the wall
Running around in circles in vain
I'm feeling three foot tall
You don't understand I'm fading away
Don't want your pity or your sympathy
It isn't gonna prove a thing to me
Good intentions pave the way to hell
Don't worry when you hear me sing
Tonight, tonight is it just a rhapsody
Or am I right
Tonight, tonight is it all a mystery
I just can't fight no more
Now i will find peace of mind
Finally found a way of thinking
Tried the rest found the best
Stormy day won't find me sinking
I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore
Dare to look face the test on the eve
When you set sailing
What you've learned what you've earned
Ship of joy will stop you failing
I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore
Wind is high so am I
As the shore sinks in the distance
Dreams unfold seek the gold
Gold that's brighter than sunlight
Sail away see the day
Dawning on a new horizon
Gold's insight shining bright
Brighter than the sun that's rising
3000 sails on high are straining in the wind
A raging sea below
Is this voyage coming to an end
Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation
Endless price I have to pay
Sanity now it's beyond me there's no choice
Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary I'm here to stay
Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity now it's beyond me
There's no choice
A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me
Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself
Enemies fill up the pages
Are they me
Monday till Sunday in stages
Set me free
