Spinning 03:32
Ghosts rising from the grave; be afraid 'cause I'm afraid. Running from the underworld. You silly girl, silly girl. If you ask how I feel, I'd say I'm spin spin spinning like a falling wheel. Losing breath like a child. 'Cause I'm a child. A dying child. Moon flower on a grave; be afraid 'cause I'm afraid. If you ask how I feel, I'd say I'm spin spin spinning like a falling wheel.

The alabaster faces of our enemies arise, circling our city from below. When misbegotten messengers spread treachery and lies, the people lift their voices to the senators and cry The king is dead! The king is dead! The withered body, the fallen head. But we will live, and peace will rise. The truth is born but never dies. The truth will never die! There's nothing left for anyone to speak of anymore, for the dreamer has awakened from his sleep. The clock is striking endlessly above the city square, and the ministers escape into their reverie and prayer. The king is dead! The king is dead! The withered body, the fallen head. But we will live, and peace will rise. The truth is born but never dies. The truth will never die! *** Warring factions within one man crack the castle walls and overrun again. Fire dancing across the sky surround the seven suns until they burn as one. Secrets whispered upon the wind compel the ancient wisdom to extinguish it. The voice of nature begins the song of sleep beyond the stars inside of everyone.

This is Love 04:23
When i wake you in the morning, and the warm sun parts your eyes; and rising up to discover the brand new day's surprise; We'll never know what that will be but, It feels like this is love It feels like this is love I feel I feel I lost myself in the moment. Our distance is on the mend. If you dance with me through the evening, the music will never end; well say my friend that you Feel like this is love I feel like this is love I feel I feel love, love, love A landscape for my lips, and mountains for my mind; and valleys for my emotions, what we do i can’t describe; I wouldn't even try because I feel like this is love I feel like this is love I feel I feel Things that can’t be described by the tallest of tales, religion and lies, clocks and scales. Letters can’t spell and paper can’t hold the music of infinite love.

Morning sunrise, in the air. Friendly people, everywhere. No one worries, no one cares. When we’re standing on the water, we don’t need anything. Pretty flowers, in her hair. Flowing gently, around the people there. Birds are singing, soft and sweet. Waves are dancing, beneath her feet. When we’re standing on the water we don’t need anything. We don’t worry, we don’t care. When we’re standing on the water, and the love is all around us; when we’re standing on the water we don’t need anything. We don’t care! We don't care.
8.
Unnecessary people will take up your time. They’ll give you their reason to get in your life. There’s nothing there for you and you’ll get left behind, get left behind. They’ll tell  you their story with memorized lines. They all sound so lonesome, so blissful to find you my dear. There’s nothing there for you and you’ll get left behind, get left behind. Don’t let em get you Don’t let em get you Don’t let em get you Don’t let em get you! There’s nothing there for you and you’ll get left behind. Don’t let em get you; get left behind.

Every little mystery is trying to get away from the empire of the waking universe. Nothing here is interesting, and nothing here is new, and everyone is sick of everybody else, it’s true. But let’s be thankful, yeah let’s be thankful there’s a million kids with mobile phones to keep each other company. Oh thankful, yeah let’s be thankful for the future. Possibly i had a dream just the other day, though i can’t recall a dream i’ve had in years. The moon was shining visibly, and cars were everywhere, and everybody obviously turned to look away. But let’s be thankful, yeah let’s be thankful that at least we’ve got a little while to live it up and get ahead. Oh thankful, yeah let’s be thankful the totality of human knowledge is just a single click away. Oh thankful, yeah let’s be thankful that our mothers love us very much and we’re gonna make them really proud. Oh thankful, yeah let’s be thankful for the future
