towers of blue

When I was little I dream of you In the pink pink clouds In the towers of blue Now stay Stay Stay baby stay Stay Stay Stay

TAKE ME DOWN And I know if you go it will be the end of me Won't you stay another day Another day won't find us waiting Take me down take me down take me down below A cloudy sky I know why things have changed and got so strange It's this heart this stupid heart my useless heart you've been breaking Take me down take me down take me down below Bridge Satin lace your shining face your stockings and you shoes Smoke and light and heat and dust the pretty things we used Making love all day upon this sacred afternoon And I know this was no dream I know it was exactly as it seemed Baby When you came Honey when you came Darling when you came to me It begins at the skin We go deep The timeless keep The starlight fades a promise made The promise made but I'm still waiting Take me down take me down take me down below Take me down take me down take me down again

OLDMAN COLDMAN Old man, cold man Last unforetold man New man, blue man Our favorite tried and true man Apeman, jape man Always changing shape man Why have you come? Why have you come? Free man, glee man Body-building he-man Frog man, bog man Sitting on a log man Starman, bar man Blew his mind out in a car man Why have you come? Why have you come? Bridge: Ride ride love Ride ride love Inside love Bye bye love I blinked - all the stars were spinning I blinked - the winds blew cold I blinked - we thought we were winning I blinked - my sons grew old (instrumental break) Late man, great man Interstellar fate man Gunman, sun man Our troubles are undone man Egg man, peg man Dancing on one leg man Now they have come Now they have come Now they have come

Standing in the sun I saw her shiny shiny girl like water something in her glance ooh baby tells me what she wants no maybes I'll take you make you hum you come you start you stop you love you top you bring you all the light that I control Ribbons on her wrist so jaded We tremble as we twist so naked The pink glow on her cheeks so pretty Surrender to my touch no pity One swirling surging crashing tide Foam blowing How pretty when you come, like clockwork All knowing I'll take you make you hum you come you start you stop you love you top you bring you all the light that I control Now follow me to the endless sea Lay beside me now Lay beside me now three seconds before maia smiled How I love your eyes so blameless The prison of your skies so nameless Like a pilgrim in the dust I drink At your altar My shiny shiny girl my water Upon the path we've sought so long Saints and sinners pray to belong and in this song you shimmer I'll take you make you hum you come you start you stop you love you top you bring you all the light that I control

BORDERTOWN Time had stopped when I pulled in here Strange town full of ghosts People I hated and people I feared And people I loved I miss the most Dark came down as I hit the ground I was back in the bordertown Spinning fading in the dimming time All my loves and all my crimes Chorus: I've been drinking sweet sweet brandy Laughter crashing The darkness calls Take me over the smooth dark waters Take me darling Before I fall Heatwave glow in the timeless sun This strange air rippling light I can't go back what's done is done Gotta make the other side tonight Flow these tears on the veiled years But I don't need your second sight For memory burns and run I must To a glass of fog and a shot of dust (chorus) Warm swarm ocean blue Everything is lost You found somebody new Sun fade I loved you Broken window, the ghost-eye stare Laughing at the loser, the only one who cared A hurt so great, he didn't want to hate Drank like crazy just to elevate His heart past the plane of unbearable fate. (Chorus twice) Second time: I've been dreaming I've been drinking I've been laughing The midnight calls And I have heard the angels weeping And I still Must have it all

I'll Be In The Mirror You didn't see it coming So how were you to know That there would be a "situation-" (Oh, please, don't go) How could you turn your face away- Study some picture on the wall? Tryin to find your way back- Back to the way it was before "I'll be home some day- You won't be on your own- I'll be in the mirror- You won't be alone." Down the center of the railway And you're singin in your sleep Now you're driving on the sidewalk Strolling on the 405 Down the center of the railway And you're singin in your sleep Tryin to find your way back- Back to the way it was before And when the moon arises You park up high on the hill And the city spreads beneath you Like a carpet made of pearls... And you don't want to know the reason You just want it to go on and on and on... (repeat and fade)

Hey Little Earthgirl I think you're fantastic Baby pneumatic Intergalactic Hey Little Earthgirl Electronic Where I'm taking you it's supersonic I've been searching your solar system My sun went nova it was just like this one Hey Little Earthgirl I need an earthgirl now Hey Little Earthgirl I love your planet And all its creatures And the seas that span it Hey Little Earthgirl Let's swim your oceans Infinite water Endless motion I'm going to climb your perfect mountains Drink the nectars from your fountains Hey Little Earthgirl I need an earthgirl now

So they told the tale of the golden sun And the shining girl who lived within So pretty I'll go now I know now Just where to find her So the story goes we wore the clothes To make it seem all possible The hope it was All gone now So long now But not forgotten Chorus: We tried so hard to make it come true A perfect dream, sun bouncing, sky blue Pop down the years, still shining on you Translucent songs that made the world new Those summer days, your sweet perfume Just filled the air with magic A symphony So bright now All light now They watched us dancing. A slip of time, a ray of sun A floating song from a perfect world And endless love How softly How sadly Young hearts were broken We tried so hard to make it come true A perfect dream, sun bouncing, sky blue Pop down the years, still shining on you Translucent songs that made our love new

about

This is the early version of what became the cd Pop Down The Years. Different song order. I'll Be In The Mirror was pulled (an acoustic version will be on some album in the future) and the instrumental "The Quark and the Jaguar" was added.
