Don't talk to me of normality, There must be more to life than that, Stars in the sky, clouds that wander by, And thrones where kings and queens once sat, Where have all the good times gone? Have I been living for much too long? I guess I'll see if time will really tell.. I cannot see what you'd want from me, There's nothing I can do for you, You hide away, I'm out to play, I'm starting to think the odd one out is you, Watching people passing by, It's all I can do to wonder why, I guess it doesn't matter anyway..

(Verse I) Another night for me, Another day beneath a tree, Why do they call? Why do you let me fall? Does it matter at all? (Verse II) All the king's horses are dead on their feet, So why do we fight when we can only retreat? Somewhere a light shines incredibly bright, Passing through trees while casting shadows into the night, It doesn't feel quite right, (Chorus) Lend me your ears and I'll give you my heart, Gently caress you or tear you apart, When I am with you they won't say a word, Lions as cowards, now tell me that's not absurd, (Instrumental) (Verse III) I will be waiting under the willow, Where we first met all those years ago, See you in moonlight, be with you in daylight, Where dandelion clocks and bluebells grow, Take me with you everywhere you go, (Chorus) Go now, be free and I'll send you my heart, Never forget you when things fall apart, You can be free now, as free as a bird, Lions as cowards, now tell me that's not absurd, Tell me you're mine and I'll give you my heart, Gently caress you or tear you apart, When I am with you they won't say a word, Lions as cowards, now tell me that's not absurd, Lend me your ears and I'll give you my heart, Gently caress you or tear you apart, When I am with you they won't say a word, Lions as cowards, now tell me that's not absurd..

Part 1 - They're Coming to Get You Time is slowly melting, The oddballs are coming to get you, Reclaiming the corners of your mind, Won't stop until each one has met you They are running through your mind So you'd better run back to reality You can't beat insanity They are coming back inside again So you'd better drop the insecurity You can be a sheep or be free Cut out the act, stop pretending That you have got nothing to hide The real you is hidden so deeply You'd need a chainsaw to get it outside Stars in the sky are now falling The good times are over and gone Clouds passing by are now crawling I think I've been living too long ============================== Part 2 - Where it all Began This is where it all began Don't trust everything you hear Just try to understand Feel yourself get locked up tight Never again will I trust you No time to reinvent yourself Time to focus on your fear Better invest in your dying wealth ============================== Part 3 - Ascent of the Hill In the sky see the fireflies glow Days are gone before you know Mark the way for you to go Feel the wind gently brushing by Sending gold to the sky Makes you wish you could fly Can you see the soldiers marching on? Hand in hand as they sing their song Over hills and far beyond To the place where they belong ============================== Part 4 - The Wise Old Sage Well the wise old sage was woken by the soldiers marching feet So he lit a fire in his iron spire and trimmed his beard neat And he set out from his hilltop lair to find out just who did it And when he questioned the noisy group of men not no one would admit it, so he said You'd better look both ways 'cos it's far from over The prophecy foretold has just begun They say what doesn't make you stronger kills you And if you slip up once then you're good as done With the geometric head of Magog swinging to and fro The soldiers looked on terrified as the fire from the spire began to grow And the very earth began to crack as the old sage cast the spell So the brave men turned and fled the hill like a thousand bats out of hell ============================== Part 5 - Fugue for Strings and Organ (Instrumental) ============================== Part 6 - The Odd One Out I've always been the odd one out. Nothing to shout about you say? Well I'm shouting about it anyway. Why won't you come play hide and seek? They say I'm just a freak but I'm just freaking unique. The royal guards march to a dismal band going hand in hand to a distant land, beyond the hill and far away, what's right about the springtime when there's nothing left to say? Gimme the Yins and the Yangs with the feline fangs, they're all just hanging round the rooftops in their midnight gangs. Stars in the sky, clouds that wander by.. Stars in the sky are forming Ursa Major as cumulonimbus clouds rampage by, Like a supernova Emo over old big Ben, the cosmic saucepan is doomed to die, Doomed to die, and I have always been the odd one out.

It was springtime in the winter, and the snow was raining fast, A bare-footed man with boots on came slowly whizzing past, He turned a straight, crooked corner to see a dead donkey die, He took out his knife to shoot him, and the donkey spat in his eye, The man was calmly angry as the donkey ran away, He was sadly glad he'd killed it that snowy summer day, He walked as he skipped to his hometown, and at noon he got off the train, It was lovely and dry for the night time, but his head got wet in the rain, His bald head got quite soggy, so he ran his hand through his hair, Then out of the woods lightly lumbered a small, yet massive bear, The man slowly whipped out his pistol to stab the beast in the head, The bear raised a paw to bite him, but the man was already dead.
