about

A complex and intricate piece. Music by original keyboardist Patrick, with lyrics and vocals by drummer Ted.

lyrics

Here I stand with a bird in hand
Contemplating the charms of another muse
I’ll never know what I might gain unless I try – but I know…
What I will lose

I’ll take a stand and I’ll make a plan
Shall I sacrifice what I hate to lose?
There’s a hammer in my head that keeps pounding to beat the band
I feel I must choose

Am I just wasting my time?
Will I still want what I find?
What will I find?

Grateful grazing or the greener side?
The fence is strong, I’m secure, and my legs feel lame
Some say that - not to decide -
is a decision made, just the same

Am I just wasting my time?
Will I still want what I find?

Nine lives has a cat to spare
To me that seems a bit unfair

Time was burnt, now smoldering
The ashes spark - I am re-born
But I am torn
What will I find?

Time is moving fast
I feel so immobilized
Caught between existence and life

Must I choose between something real
and something else that I merely feel?
Hopes and dreams live in tenements
Yet they have power to motivate
But like vapor they dissipate
We turn away and they materialize
Why is it we don’t recognize?

Down to the wire now what will it be?
Put an end to this soliloquy
My first pursuit bore fruit – why can’t I see?

Am I to find out in time?
Will I have lost what I find?
