Arabesque

[01:56.24] Wandering the low lands and high plains
[02:00.52] Been crossing the mountains
[02:03.08] Sailing the sea
[02:07.89] Anxiety-free
[02:13.01] Been craving for rain in the desert
[02:19.41] Saw bleak nights devour
[02:21.53] The day's blazing heat oh
[02:32.32] A light burning out
[02:34.61] Tied to the canon's apron
[02:37.39] Hie in obedience to the scantiness of time
[02:42.36] Meant to astound
[02:44.27] Entangled in adornment
[02:47.14] An ornament sublime
[02:50.82] Dreams allayed
[02:55.67] No weakness gets betrayed
[03:00.32] Right on
[03:03.62] Swaying to the sacred fanfares
[03:08.14] Don't you stop to run
[03:12.34] From paradise to despair
[03:16.91] Yeah, strident voices
[03:20.56] Now why don't you
[03:22.29] Why do you slow down right on
[03:26.93] Don't speak, don't wonder
[03:28.76] That way, this way, don't walk astray
[03:33.75] Welcome to the arabesque
[03:39.90] Ooh, ooh, ooh
[03:47.73] Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
[03:56.46] You beat up against the wind and the flow
[04:01.98] Concealing your tears
[04:03.25] With the sweat from your brow
[04:06.37] No one see's them, they're next to you
[04:10.90] Deride them, despite they're the faithful
[04:15.18] The only, the true, oh, aah
[04:24.93] Got a navigation map and aspiration
[04:30.61] If only that good old chart
[04:32.37] Would show the seas ya gonna sail
[04:34.75] Run up and down
[04:37.73] Until you stand to reason
[04:39.61] Faithfully you break
[04:43.95] Dreams aligned
[04:48.71] Stalwartly confined
[04:53.47] Right on
[04:55.92] Swaying to the sacred fanfares
[05:01.17] Don't you stop to run
[05:04.88] To the promised land in despair
[05:10.39] Voices screaming
[05:13.37] Now why don't you
[05:15.11] Why do you slow down
[05:18.43] Right on don't speak, don't wonder
[05:21.42] That way, this way don't walk astray
[05:27.01] Welcome to the arabesque
[05:32.08] Toss and turn all night
[05:33.60] Got to get it right
[05:34.75] Is it just a dream
[05:35.76] Or runaway fantasy
[05:38.65] Reverie out of kilter
[05:41.36] Got to carry on
[05:42.48] Go on, play along
[05:44.63] Don't you let them down
[05:46.52] As they help you drown
[05:47.83] Your feelings in a philtre
[05:51.19] I want the turmoil to go away
[05:54.23] And slowly I'd trouble no more
[05:59.20] Like a grain the wild wind blows away
[06:03.93] From a whispering, blistering shore
[06:08.43] If you'd look back at the shore through my eyes
[06:13.48] Having sailed just a mile in my shell
[06:18.28] Hold to think and maybe feel what it's like
[06:23.16] At the deep end of slightly unwell
[06:27.10] Got to carry on
[06:29.23] Must be going strong
[06:31.08] Wipe away the tears
[06:33.17] Put your vizard on
[06:35.36] Welcome to the creep show
[06:37.53] Welcome to the freak show
[06:39.55] And I'm dreaming of mother love
[06:44.44] And colouring outside the lines like a child
[06:49.41] Beyond growing up
[06:51.36] And the pain that goes along with it
[06:55.47] To escape these confines
[07:02.31]
[08:38.42] Ooooh, no breath for pretence
[08:42.18] Refuse to make sense
[08:46.55] Right on
[08:50.12] Swaying to the sacred fanfares
[08:54.24] Don't you stop to run
[08:57.62] From paradise to despair
[09:02.07] Searing voices
[09:05.70] Now why don't you
[09:08.29] Why do you slow down
[09:11.50] Right on, don't speak, don't wonder
[09:15.02] That way, this way, don't walk astray
[09:19.54] Welcome to the arabesque
[09:24.38] Right on
[09:27.56] Swaying to the sacred fanfares
[09:31.54] Don't you stop to run
[09:37.70] Right on, right on
[09:41.90] Through the pain and the fire
[09:46.13] Through the wind and the rain
[09:47.89] Walking a long way from home
[09:51.95] Right on
[10:01.72]
