The road is littered with oddities and illusions Meanwhile my heart is attended by confidence and confusion Am I too careless? Am I too careful? Or am I two -- faced? And I want to know. I just want to know, but do I really want to -- know? And so it goes. And I'm embracing all that life has to offer Not letting any moment slip away Opting to maybe maintain my sense of dignity Or something resembling such if I may To use up my desire for unknowing To deliver my acceptance to defeat And if I am old enough to know better, Can I still be young enough to be naïve? And now we gaze upon locations once out of focus As every aspect of reality is coming into place Fitting together like crude puzzle pieces To tell the story once neatly arranged And here we are Once more The Guests In the Sun's Golden Tavern Here we are Once more The Guests In the Sun's Golden Tavern And I have helped myself to a second helping as well as having been unable to help myself I have befriended certain circumstances Knowing whatever the outcome, this will not end well But now I've arrived with greetings of tranquility So often that they now know my name And on this hedonist treadmill, I keep on running Forcing a smile or offering a wave And here we are Once more The Guests In the Sun's Golden Tavern Here we are Once more The Guests In the Sun's Golden Tavern Here we are in the future Looking at the same imperfections but from another angle And now here I am in the past Speaking of how things used to be So will you take this offering of the temporary moment? Will you allow me to exist in your memory? Or am I just a clownfish who pretends to be prophetic? To have you believe we're living in prophecy And here we are Once more The Guests In the Sun's Golden Tavern Here we are Once more The Guests In the Sun's Golden Tavern

Walking away from the graveyard Above what remains of those you once knew Carrying the weight of all your memories As you reach the fate that they've come to Oh did the costs outweigh the benefits Of knowing the ones that have left you here? And will you ever again feel another's affection As you sit at a table filled with empty chairs? And you've said it before you'd like to live forever But do you really want to be the last to go? And as you adorn what's left of what you have to offer A shadow is cast over all that you know And as the weight that you carry compromises your efforts Of moving in the direction that you'd wish you go You call out in a forced surrender In a final attempt to retain your hope Love me, love me till the day that I die Or light up your torch and head off into the night Oh love me, love me till the day that I die Or light up your torch and head off into the night Love me, love me till the day that I die Or light up your torch and head off into the night Oh love me, love me till the day that I die Or light up your torch and head off into the night Another one down, more flowers in the water Trying to cast your burdens at the altar Oh how much must one endure in this life Before reaching the conclusion that it isn't worth the price? Now I've seen the future as it comes and goes Greeting each departure with another stone Eventually to see my own name engraved Pleading to the moment for more time to wait Love me, love me till the day that I die Or light up your torch and head off into the night Oh love me, love me till the day that I die Or light up your torch and head off into the night Love me, love me till the day that I die Or light up your torch and head off into the night Oh love me, love me till the day that I die Or light up your torch and head off into the night

You put the product back on the shelf Claiming it's use for someone else For you are too wise to be considered the consumer For who are these men on which we spend What little we make with our hands? For surely we must be the used and not the user Now I've seen them with their hands up to the sky, Praying to some concert lights Or so it appeared to me from a distance But once the thrill of it is gone, Oh will they soon be moving on To some other meaning for their own existence? And oh don't you know That hypocrisy too is a sin And I, I have seen your light But even I was afraid to approach it Now every time they come around here Waving money to hide their fears While quoting some new trend from The Bible I show they must have missed a verse Regarding their exit in a hearse When their money will curse them, But surely it must be libel Now am I burning bridges I might have crossed? With Pagan rubbish, oh just get lost They're all the minor points For they're not the ones that we're quoting Now you don't have to read between the lines But at least read all of the lines Before you make the claim that I know nothing And oh don't you know That hypocrisy too is a sin And I, I have seen your light But even I was afraid to approach it Oh how many, how many, how many, how many... Oh how many years until they gain their sight? And follow the path that they claim is right? Oh are they afraid that they just might Have to cast aside their earthly delights For past values they can no longer recite An emptiness where there once was light Now holds nothing but a vacant sign Oh tell me will it be right when you die?

It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling When these serendipitous times won’t leave you alone Basking in your holiness and rattling your bones At the gathering of peacocks or in the letters you wrote Or to where this song disappears after it’s final note It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling When nostalgia is the master of your wise old soul And your nomadic nature leaves you high on the road Giving yourself to the universe to carry you home Taking one last look at this world before you go It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling Oh sweet brightness of being Oh sweet, sweet brightness Oh sweet brightness of being Oh sweet, sweet brightness And we’re searching for some kind of freedom Oh sweet, sweet brightness Yeah we’re searching for some kind of freedom Oh sweet, sweet brightness It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s that cosmic feeling It’s the combination of stars It’s the combination of stars It’s the combination of stars It’s that cosmic feeling, cosmic feeling, yeah, alright And we do not exist merely as a part of each other's realities, But rather, As a continuation.
