Arriba   DEPARTURE

Be it sight, sound, the smell, the touch...
There's something inside that we need so much.
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound,
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground,
The wonder of flowers to be covered
And then to burst up through tarmac to the sun again,
Or to fly to the sun without burning a wing,
To lie in the meadow and hear the grass sing,
To have all these things in our memory's hoard
And to use them,
To help us,
To find......
Ha ha ha! [etc]

Arriba   RIDE MY SEE-SAW

Ride, ride my see-saw,
Take this place
On this trip
Just for me.
Ride, take a free ride,
Take my place
Have my seat
It's for free.
 
I worked like a slave for years,
Sweat so hard just to end my fears.
Not to end my life a poor man,
But by now, I know I should have run.
 
Run, run my last race,
Take my place
Have this number
Of mine.
 
Run, run like a fire,
Don't you run in
In the lanes
Run for time.
 
Left school with a first class pass,
Started work but as second class.
School taught one and one is two.
But, by now, that answer just ain't true.
 
My world is spinning around,
Everything is lost that I found.
People run, come ride with me,
Let's find another place that's free.
 
Ride, ride my see-saw,
Take this place
On this trip
Just for me.
 
Ride, take a free ride,
Take my place
Have my seat
It's for free.
 
Ride, my see-saw.
Ride, ride,
Ride, my see-saw.
[etc]

Arriba   DOCTOR LIVINGSTONE, I PRESUME

Doctor Livingstone, I presume,
Stepping out of the jungle gloom
Into the midday sun.
What did you find there?
Did you stand awhile and stare?
Did you meet anyone?
"I've seen butterflies galore,
I've seen people big and small.
I've still not found what I'm looking for."
 
We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone.
We're all looking for someone.
 
Captain Scott, you were so bold,
Now you're looking rather cold
Out there in the snow.
What did you find there?
Did you stand awhile and stare?
Did you meet anyone?
 
"I've seen polar bears and seals
I've seen giant Antarctic eels.
I've still not found what I'm looking for."
 
We're all looking for someone.
We're all looking for someone.
We're all looking for someone.
 
Columbus, where are you bound?
So you think the world is round.
Sail off in the blue.
What did you find there?
Did you stand awhile and stare?
Did you meet anyone?
 
"There are Indians by the score
In many places that I saw.
I've still not found what I'm looking for."
 
We're all looking for someone.
We're all looking for someone.
We're all looking for someone.
 
Arriba   HOUSE OF FOUR DOORS I

Mystery spread its cloak
Across the sky,
We'd lost our way.
Shadows fell from trees,
They knew why.
Then through the leaves a light broke through,
A path lost for years led us through.
 
House of four doors,
I could live there forever.
House of four doors,
Would it be there forever?
 
Loneliness, the face of pilgrim's eyes would come
As the door opened wide.
 
[musical interlude #1]
 
Beauty they had found before my eyes to see
And to the next door we came.
 
[musical interlude #2]
 
Love of music showed in everything we heard.
Through the third door where are we?
[musical interlude #3]
"Enter in all ye who seek to find within"
As the plaque said on the last door.
 
Arriba   LEGEND OF A MIND

Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no,
He's outside looking in
Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no,
He's outside looking in.
He'll fly his astral plane,
Takes you trips around the bay,
Brings you back the same day,
Timothy Leary.
Timothy Leary.
Timothy Leary's dead.
 
No, no, no, no,
He's outside looking in.
Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no, no, no,
He's outside looking in.
He'll fly his astral plane,
Takes you trips around the bay,
Brings you back the same day,
Timothy Leary.
Timothy Leary.
Along the coast you'll hear them boast
About a light they say that shines so clear.
So raise your glass, we'll drink a toast
To the little man who sells you thrills along the pier.
 
He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,
He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground.
He flies so high, he swoops so low,
He knows exactly which way he's gonna go.
 
Timothy Leary.
Timothy Leary.
He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,
He'll plant your feet back on the ground.
He'll fly so high, he'll swoop so low.
Timothy Leary.
He'll fly his astral plane.
He'll take you trips around the bay.
He'll bring you back the same day.
Timothy Leary.
Timothy Leary.
 
Timothy Leary.
Timothy Leary.
Timothy Leary.
 
Arriba   HOUSE OF FOUR DOORS II

Walking through that door
Outside we came
Nowhere at all.
Perhaps the answer's here,
Not there anymore?
Then in our hearts the light broke through,
A path lost for years is there in view.
 
House of four doors,
You'll be lost now forever.
 
House of four doors,
Best of life's lies forever.
 
House of four doors,
You'll be lost now forever.
 
House of four doors,
Best of life's lies forever.
 
Arriba   VOICES IN THE SKY

Bluebird flying high,
Tell me what you sing.
If you could talk to me,
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky?
Nightingale hovering high,
Harmonize the wind.
Darkness your symphony,
I can hear you sing
Of voices in the sky.
 
Just what is happening to me?
I lie awake with the sound of the sea
Calling to me.
 
Old man passing by,
Tell me what you sing.
Though your voice be faint,
I am listening.
Voices in the sky.

Children with a skipping rope,
Tell me what you sing.
Play time is nearly gone,
The bell's about to ring.
Voices in the sky.
 
Just what is happening to me?
I lie awake with the sound of the sea
Calling to me.
 
Bluebird flying high,
Tell me what you sing.
If you could talk to me
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky?
Voices in the sky.
 
Voices in the sky.
Voices in the sky.
 
Arriba   THE BEST WAY TO TRAVEL

And you can fly
High as a kite if you want to,
Faster than light if you want to.
Speeding through the universe,
Thinking is the best way to travel.
It's all a dream,
Light passing by on the screen,
And there's you and I on the beam.
Speeding through the universe,
Thinking is the best way to travel.
 
We ride the waves,
Distance is gone, will we find out
How life began, will be find out?
Speeding through the universe,
Thinking is the best way to travel.

And you can fly
High as a kite if you want to,
Faster than light if you want to.
Speeding through the universe,
Thinking is the best way to travel.
  
Arriba   VISIONS OF PARADISE

The sounds in my mind
Just come to me.
Come see, come see.
And the call of her eyes
Makes waterfalls
Of me, of me.
 
In the garden of her love
I'll stay awhile
To be, to be.
 
What the seeds of her thoughts
Want me to be
Come see, come see
 
Visions of paradise,
Cloudless skies I see
Rainbows on the hill,
Blue onyx on the sea
Come see.
 
And the sounds in my mind
Just come to me
Come see, come see
 
And the call of her eyes
Makes waterfalls
Of me, of me.
  
Arriba   THE ACTOR

The curtain rises on the scene
With someone chanting to be free.
The play unfolds before my eyes,
There stands the actor who is me.
The sleeping hours take us far
From traffic, telephones and fear.
Put out your problems with the cat,
Escape until the bell you hear.
 
Our reasons are the same
But there's no-one we can blame
For there's nowhere we need go
And the only truth we know comes so easily.
 
The sound I have heard in your hello
Oh darling, you're almost part of me,
Oh darling, you're all I'll ever see.
 
It's such a rainy afternoon,
No point in going anywhere.
The sounds just drift across my room,
I wish this feeling I could share.
 
It's such a rainy afternoon,
She sits and gazes from her window.
Her mind tries to recall his face.
The feeling deep inside her grows.
 
Our reasons are the same
But there's no-one we can blame
For there's nowhere we need go
And the only truth we know comes so easily.
 
The sound I have heard in your hello,
Oh darling, you're almost part of me.
Oh darling, you're all I'll ever see.
 
The sound I have heard in your hello,
Oh darling, you're all I'll ever see.
Oh darling, you're almost part of me.
Oh.
  
Arriba   THE WORD

This garden universe vibrates complete.
Some may get a sound so sweet.
Vibrations reach on up to become light
And then through gamma, out of sight.
Between the eyes and ears there lie
The sounds of colour and the light of a sigh
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe,
But it's all around if we could but perceive.
 
To know ultra violet, infra-red and X-rays,
Beauty to find in so many ways.
 
Two notes of the chord, that's our full scope
But to reach the chord is our life's hope
And to name the chord is important to some
So they give a word, and the word is Om.
  
Arriba   OM

The rain is on the roof
Hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head
I know why the skies all cry
Om, Om,
Heaven,
Om.
 
The Earth turns slowly round
Far away the distant sound
Is with us everyday
Can you hear what it says?
Om, Om,
Heaven,
Om.
 
The rain is on the roof
Hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head
I know why the skies all cry
Om, Om,
Heaven,
Om.
