lyrics

BOY:
Feels like a dream
As I’m lying on the beach
Staring up at blue sky
Just beyond my reach
I spread my towel on the edge of a sandy rise
And wait for the girl in green to open her eyes
And someone’s shouting faraway
But it doesn’t matter anyway
I hope the sun don’t dry your makeup
And I hope we never wake up

CAST:
We thought the time was right to get a little rest for you kid.
We tried with all our might to do the very best for you kid.
We know you need to hide
We know you’re somewhere deep inside
So just sit back and wait for the tide
To rise, rise, rise
Just wait for the tide to rise.

BOY: (OR BECKY/MERCURY)
Now the girl rolls over with a sleepy smile
She’s programmed to do that every once in a while
He sips his drink and smokes the perfect cigarette
The illusion should last a while yet
And it feels so good to hold her hand
And digs his feet into the sand
Oh! Dreaming here beneath the sun
Oh! Waiting for the tide to come

CAST:
We thought the time was right to get a little rest for you kid.
We tried with all our might to do the very best for you kid.
We know you need to hide
We know you’re somewhere deep inside
So just sit back and wait for the tide
To rise, rise, rise
Just wait for the tide to rise.

BOY:
Picking up seashells
Listening for churchbells
Watching the ocean
A world without motion

ALIENS:
We’ve got so much to teach you
Just let the cool water reach you

CAST:
And fade away, fade away, fade away.

BOY:
Wo, wo wo wo, I’m so glad that I closed my eyes
Wo, wo wo wo, just waiting for the tide to rise

(after a guitar solo KITTEN comes out again as QUEEN OF THE DEAD)

QUEEN:
Here in your dream
Lie with me
Flying free
Life, let go
All whole.

CAST:
Let go, let go, let go

QUEEN:
Sleep in my cool embrace
You’ve run your race
Peacefully
Forget, be free.

I'm a child of the '60s, so I favor guitar music. When I get exhausted with hard blues-rock, doom-metal and acid-bluegrass, what's left? Listening to jam-bands noodle their way into some really good guitar solos! This isn't one of the best for that, but I don't dislike the name of the band, the cover art and the album title, which demostrates the power of inflstion. cpost2000
