Lorelei
Maybe you like a little melody
It's not the words that move me

Lorelei lorelei lorelei
Maybe you like a lullaby
Now i can't remember why

Lorelei lorelei lorelei
Intuation's leading us where
I don't know yet

Lorelei lorelei
Something's happening
Hard to place it
Hard to hide it

Lorelei lorelei
What is happening
I'm not sure
I guess you know it

Lorelei lorelei

Deep in the jungle of thought
There comes a clearing
And in the clearing
There is a pool

The pool is deep
The water cool
This is the thought
The thought is you

Lorelei lorelei lorelei

Intuition's leading us where
I don't know yet

Lorelei lorelei
Something's happening
Hard to place it
Hard to hide it

Lorelei lorelei
What is happening
I'm not sure
I guess you know it

Lorelei lorelei
Lorelei lorelei
Lorelei lorelei

Across the wasted plain
Across the twisted dunes
Beyond the colored lights
The mountain looms

The air is thin
The door within
The sea of light
The light is you

Lorelei lorelei lorelei ...

Hold the symbol to your forehead
Close your eyes
Call the spirit of the symbol
Come to me
Call the symbols of the golden age
One by one
Call the water, fire, air and earth
Come to me

As above, so below
As above, so below
As above, so below
As above, so below

Behold the door appears before you
Walk on through
Observe the doorway now behind you
Look ahead
Call the spirit of the symbol
Come to me
Allow the deity to guide you
Follow me

As above, so below
As above, so below
As above, so below
As above, so below

A web of thought; of tangled vision
Humanity
Tear away the veil before me
Set me free
Tales to picture that you give to me
Memory
Tear away the minds that bind me
Liberty

As above, so below
As above, so below
As above, so below
As above, so below

Thank the spirit of the symbol
Once you see
Raise your finger to your lips now
Sign of silence
Find the doorway of the symbol
Pass on through
Find the doorway of the symbol
Pass on through...

As above, so below
As above, so below
As above, so below
As above, so below

I'm living proof, i love you

On and on we will come
There are scores of us
On and on, here we come
There are more of us

Come to my room, i need you
You're living proof, make your move

On and on we will come
There are scores of us
On and on, here we come
There are more of us

You are the youth, we're with you
We're living proof what we can do
On and on we will come
There are scores of us

On and on we will come
There are scores of us
On and on, here we come
There are more of us

On and on ...

F104, come in f104......
C'mon get down f104.
Ho, get back up f104!
Aw, now, one more time for me on the ground f1--104 get down..

'cause you know and i know it's a private thing at twice the speed of
Sound blue goes to black.

You're spinning flat like a skipping stone f104 but don't green apple,
Ok. we want no defenstrations today, okay?

F104 where are you at? play it kenneth!
Uh! you think you're staying cool while its getting hot,eh?

F104 here, uh, stop flapping your gums.
I wear my own clothes now
And i don't need you to roll up my sleeves, ok?

Uh ground here, uh, that's a couple of million, f104.

F104 here, uh, look this is a private thing
And i don't want you talking about it
Down there with your nice friends.
Cause this is a private thing, ok?
Cause i've tried a
And then i've tried b
And then i've tried c...
But no, i won't green apple.

Uh, this is the ground f104, get outa there, get outa there f104!

F104 uh, not to sweat baby,
It's my hide and i can ride her out.

This is the ground get down here f104. you and i know who your hide
Belongs to!

F104 here, uh, i guess i'm at about 75 thousand feet
And the rpm's are damn near zero,
Uh, maybe falling about 150 feet a second,
Uh, that makes about 9000 feet a minute.
Uh, like i said i've tried a
And i've tried b
And c, didn't do nothing.
Just spinning around
Like a boomerang
In the sky up here!...i reckon.

I got about one last shot.

Ok, this is a private thing
This blue to black
At twice the speed of sound.
It's green silent peace,
With waves around.
And it's lighting up
Like a damn christmas tree in here!

But we'll ignore what these little lights are saying
And enjoy the view because
You know and i know
It's just that little old problem
Our boys in engineering find so entertaining

This is the ground, come in f104, come in f104, come in f104.

F104 here, i'd love to talk to you sweetheart
But this christmas tree is smoking
And it's obscuring the view.
I'm preparing to disintegrate now,
I'll see you boys
For a drink on the ground
At about 1900 hours, okay? bye!

If they could see me now, booming and zooming
If they could see me now...
If they could see me now, booming and zooming
