Struck Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Struck down by a vision of beauty
Said I was struck down by a long-legged archer
Oh, the city was hot, but my blood ran cold
Oh, the city went dark, keep calm and carry on
I was a young man, only 19 years old
Said I was a young man so very far away from home
Ah, she got me, struck down, right through the heart, struck down
Ah, she shot me, struck down, right through the heart, struck down
[Chorus]
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
[Verse 2]
I want to be an old man, damn you, von Braun
I want to be an old man, damn you, von Braun
I've been laid low by a blinding light
Oh, I've been torn asunder by the banshee's wail
Ah, she got me, struck down, right through the heart, struck down
Ah, she shot me, struck down, right through the heart, struck down
[Chorus]
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I was a young man, only 19 years old
I was a very young man so far away from home
I was imprisoned by a vision of beauty
I was struck down by the long-legged archer
[Chorus]
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
Minotaur Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In a city of crooked alleys
Crookeder women and wicked men
Dim lamps in the rumor mill
Suspicious kith and unkind kin
Haruspectre General
Sleeping soldiers in the field
Below the elders conspire
To turn the merciless and massive wheel
[Clutch]
Strange cousins from the west overstay their welcome
[Verse 2]
Locked in among skeletons
Broken-hearted and damned
Sorry to have to break it to you friend
But life seldom goes exactly as we plan
[Clutch]
Strange cousins from the west overstay their welcome
Peculiar manner and strange dress
Who will ever dare to tell them?
[Post-Chorus]
The city’s always thriving
Hungry bellows of the Minotaur
Everyday more are arriving
And everyday it requires more
[Verse 3]
Unexpected circumstance
We must not delay
You have all been so very very kind to us
And we will return the favor one day
Fate is the idiot’s excuse!
Freedom is the sucker’s dream!
But we hope you find some measure of comfort
In considering us to be your family
[Clutch]
Strange cousins from the west overstay their welcome
Peculiar manner and strange dress
Who will ever dare to tell them?
[Post-Chorus]
The city’s always thriving
Hungry bellows of the Minotaur
Everyday more are arriving
And everyday it requires more
The city’s always thriving
Savage bellows of the Minotaur
Everyday more are arriving
And everyday it requires more
The Amazing Kreskin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the raining park, the chessmen play
The faithful atheists refuse to pray
The steamworks weep, the addicts do not care
Crowd of cold people stand by and stare
[Verse 2]
The garbage eaters, their many retainers
Come to collect all the foul remainders
The smoke hangs heavy, the wrecking ball swings
In the clockwork of a collapsing thing
[Pre-Chorus]
Wasted plastic empire’s golden age
Chemical wedding
Citizens in their refineries
Cheer the nuptial bedding
[Chorus]
The hourglass is
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning
[Verse 3]
On a shore of iron, cutters and clippers
Paper, rock; rock, paper and scissors
On a road of skulls, their story moves on
It’s a bumpy ride and very, very, very long
[Pre-Chorus]
Wasted plastic empire’s golden age
Chemical wedding
Citizens in their refineries
Cheer the nuptial bedding
[Chorus]
The hourglass is
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning
[Bridge]
In the blue sky, the seagulls fly over garbage
In the blue sky, the seagulls fly over garbage
Are we the ocean? Are we the desert?
Are we the garbage? Who’s to say?
Are we the ocean? Are we the desert?
Are we the garbage? Who’s to say?
[Pre-Chorus]
Wasted plastic empire’s golden age
Chemical wedding
Citizens in their refineries
Cheer the nuptial bedding
[Chorus]
The hourglass is
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning
The hourglass is
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning
Let a Poor Man Be Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m gonna move to the outskirts of town
Where none of your friends are hanging around
That’s right, I’m gonna move to the other side of town
Where none of your business is hanging around
[Clutch]
Woman, please let a poor man be. Let a poor man be
Columbia, girl, please let a poor man be. Let a poor man be
[Verse 2]
I’m gonna build a castle out of Goodyear tires
Cinderblock and busted doors; that’s where I’ll retire
Gonna dig a moat. Fill it up with ale
Not much of a defense, I know, but the supply never fails
[Clutch]
Woman, please, please let a poor man be. Let a poor man be
Columbia, girl, please, please let a poor man be. Let a poor man be
[Verse 3]
When you come knocking all in tears wringing hands and genuflecting
You’ll understand that I am a busy man and my subjects demand my attention
These walls don’t build themselves and I am running out of time
So if you desire anything else, you had better get in line
[Clutch]
Woman, please, please, please let a poor man be. Let a poor man be
Columbia, girl, please, please, please let a poor man be. Let a poor man be
Woman, please, please, please let a poor man be. Let a poor man be
Columbia, girl, please, please, please let a poor man be. Let a poor man be
Algo ha cambiado Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Por favor, dejenme
O voy a enloquecer
No soy quien para ser
Todo lo que soy
[Chorus]
Algo ha cambiado
Dentro de mi
Que alucinado
Quiero vivir
[Verse 2]
Voy a ver, nacer el sol
En medio del camino
Y tambien voy a nacer
De acuerdo a mi destino
[Chorus]
Algo ha cambiado
Dentro de mi
Que alucinado
Quiero vivir
[Verse 3]
Voy a ver, nacer el sol
En medio del camino
Y tambien voy a nacer
De acuerdo a mi destino, oh no
[Chorus]
Algo ha cambiado
Dentro de mi
Que alucinado
Quiero vivir
