Entangled, 1976
When you're asleep they may show you Aerial views of the ground, Freudian slumber empty of sound. Over the rooftops and houses, Lost as it tries to be seen, Fields of incentive covered with green. Mesmerized children are playing, Meant to be seen but not heard, "Stop me from dreaming!" "Don't be absurd!"
"Well, if we can help you we will, You're looking tired and ill. As I count backwards Your eyes become heavier still. Sleep, won't you allow yourself fall? Nothing can hurt you at all. With your consent I can experiment further still."
Madrigal music is playing, Voices can faintly be heard, "Please leave this patient undisturbed." Sentenced to drift far away now Nothing is quite what it seems Sometimes entangled in your own dreams.
"Well, if we can help you we will, Soon as you're tired and ill. With your consent We can experiment further still. Well, thanks to our kindness and skill You'll have no trouble until You catch your breath And the nurse will present you the bill..."

Mad Man Moon, 1976
Was it summer when the river ran dry, Or was it just another dam. When the evil of a snowflake in June Could still be a source of relief. I once cried long ago And I was the one who decided to go. To search beyond the final crest, Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high. So I pretended to have wings for my arms And took off in the air. I flew to places which the clouds never see, Too close to the deserts of sand, Where a thousand mirages, the shepherds of lies Forced me to land and take a disguise. I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back If I could find a horse not made of sand. If this desert's all there'll ever be Then tell me what becomes of me. A fall of rain? That must have been another of your dreams, A dream of mad man moon. Hey man, I'm the sand man. And boy have I news for you; They're gonna throw you in gaol And you know they can't fail 'cause sand is thicker than blood. But a prison in sand Is a haven in hell, For a gaol can give you a goal and a goal can find you a role On a muddy pitch in Newcastle, Where it rains so much You can't wait for a touch Of sun and sand, sun and sand... Within the valley of shadowless death They pray for thunderclouds and rain, But to the multitude who stand in the rain Heaven is where the sun shines. The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down. Forever caught in desert lands one has to learn To disbelieve the sea. If this desert's all there'll ever be Then tell me what becomes of me. A fall of rain? That must have been another of your dreams, A dream of mad man moon.

People, we're only people There's not much anyone can do, really do about that But it hasn't stopped us yet People, we know so little about ourselves But just enough to wanna be nearly anybody else How does that add up?
Oh, friends, all my friends Oh, I hope you're somewhere smiling Just know I think about you more kindly than you and I have ever been And I'll see you the next time around the bend
People, what's the deal? You've been hurt And I've been hurt But what do we do now? People, we're only people There ain't a thing one person can ever change about that
Oh, friends, all my friends Oh, I hope you're somewhere smiling Just know I think about you more kindly than you and I have ever been And I'll see you the next time around the bend
I think the end of it all may look a lot like the beginning Passed around from hand to hand Screaming for no particular reason The company gets pretty thin So we start to shed all our distinctions So why not me? Why not you? Why not now?
RIP to a beautiful and brilliant young man, a friend of the family who was murdered in his prime at only 23. Fly on.
