Текст песни "As Far As The Mind Can See" |
Part 1 - Dreaming In The Age Of Answers
We mapped the waves in the ocean
Bridged the clouds in the sky
Grew our wings in a maze of emotion
Found our will to fly
We lit the land of believers
With words we burned into stone
We held our ground in the war of deceivers
Claimed it as our own
We're dreaming in the age of answers
We're breathing in eternity
While the future flows and dances
As far as the mind can see
On the edge of creation
Beyond the absence of doubt
With every reason but no explanation
We fought our way back out
We're dreaming in the age of answers
We're breathing in eternity
While the future flows and dances
As far as the mind can see

Part 2 - Here's A Man
You'd best not return take the money and run
Said a well-meaning friend to this prodigal son
I know where you're going don't care where you've been
Cause you've already lost more than you'll ever win
Here's a man whose time has past
While crime is marching on
This night on earth will be his last
And when he's gone, he's gone
The noises in his head kept him wired and awake
As he savored events of his last lucky break
He said set 'em Paco and I'll knock 'em back down
When my glass is half empty, pour another round
Here's a man whose time has past
While crime is marching on
This night on earth will be his last
And when he's gone, he's gone
Old Charlie Tanner was out walking his dog
Found the prodigal son face-down dead in a bog
The priests and the prophets were all mystified
That no paper reported the fact he died
That he died...

Part 3 – They Know We Know
We turned our backs as the enemy landed
Handed them guns then got out of their way
No one's surprised by the way it all ended
It's well documented now there's nothing to say
Cause they know
They know we know
They know
They know we know
Some took the last train and some took their chances
Danced out of sight by the light of machines
Move along people there's nothing to see here
You don't have to be here to know what that means
Cause they know
They know we know
They know
They know we know
Now we sleep with one eye open
Dream the days of running free
With hearts unbroken
No words unspoken
Remember what our lives again could be
Cause they know
They know we know
They know
They know we know

Part 4 - Stream Of Unconsciousness
We're dreaming in the age of answers
We're breathing in eternity
While the future flows and dances
As far as the mind can see
