DoDo
Too big to fly, dodo ugly so dodo must die,Doggo with fear on its side, can't change, can't change the tide.Dog baiter, agitator, asking questions, says he wants to know why.Ain't no reason that money can't buy.Mink he pretty so mink he must die, must die, must die.Sun he giving life in his light,Part of the system,Friend to man, friend to the trees,No friend to the snowman.Where does he go, what does he do?Does he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloudAnd end up at the bottom of the sea.Fish he got a hook in his throat,Fish he got problemsWhere does he go, what does he do?Does he hope he's too small, to poor a haul,Who'll end up being thrown back in the sea.I'm back in the sea.Caretaker, horror movie,Only one eye, only needs one boot,Sweet lady, she knows she looks goodVacuum coming for the bright and the brute.Big noise, black smokeSo pig-headed couldn't see the joke.But it ain't funnyAsk the fly on the wallIt's only livingIt don't matter at all, at all, at all.Pimp, he make you drool and grunt,He got an answer.One he got a dream of love,Deep as the ocean.Where does he go?What does he do?Will the siren team with Davy Jones,And trap him at the bottom of the sea?I'm back in the sea.I'm back in the sea.I'm back in the sea.

Genesis started life as a progressive rock band, in the manner of Yes and King Crimson, before a series of membership changes brought about a transformation in their sound, into one of the most successful pop/rock bands of the 1980s and 1990s. In addition, the group has provided a launching pad for the superstardom of members Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, and star solo careers for members Tony Banks, Michael Rutherford, and Steve Hackett. Their roots go back to 1965 and a pair of rival groups, the Garden Wall and the Anon, formed by students at the Charterhouse School in Godalming, Surrey. They merged, with the result that 15-year-olds Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, and Michael Rutherford joined with 14-year-old Anthony Phillips, calling themselves the New Anon and recording a six-song demo featuring songs primarily written by Rutherford and Phillips.________________________________________He panics, feels around for a stone and hurls it at the brightest point. The sound of breaking glass echoes around the cave. As his vision is restored he catches sight of two golden gloves about one foot in diameter hovering away down the tunnel. When they disappear a resounding crack sears across the roof, and it collapses all around him. Our hero is trapped once again."This is it" he thinks, failing to move any of the fallen rocks.All the pumping's nearly over for my sweet heart,This is the one for me,Time to meet the chef,O boy! running man is out of death.Feel cold and old, it's getting hard to catch my breath.'s back to ash, 'now, you've had your flash boy'The rocks, in time, compressyour blood to oil,your flesh to coal,enrich the soil,not everybody's goal.Anyway, they say she comes on a pale horse,But I'm sure I hear a train.O boy! I don't even feel no pain -I guess I must be driving myself insane.Damn it all! does earth plug a hole in heaven,Or heaven plug a hole in earth - 'how wonderful to be so profound,when everything you are is dying underground.'There's not much spectacle for an underground creole as he walks through the gates of Sheol. "I would have preferred to have been jettisoned into a thousand pieces in space, or filled with helium and floated above a mausoleum. This is no way to pay my last subterranean homesick dues. Anyway I'm out of the hands of any pervert embalmer doing his interpretation of what I should look like, stuffing his cotton wool in my cheeks."I feel the pull on the rope, let me off at the rainbow.I could have been exploding in spaceDifferent orbits for my bonesNot me, just quietly buried in stones,Keep the deadline open with my maker!See me stretch; for God's elastic acreThe doorbell rings and its"Good morning RaelSo sorry you had to wait.It won't be long, yeh!She's very rarely late."

The chamber was in confusion - all the voices shouting loud.I could only just hear, a voice quite near say, "Please help methrough the crowd"'Said if I helped her thru' she could help me too, but I couldsee that she was wholly blind.But from her pale face and her pale skin, a moonlight shined.Lilywhite Lilith,She gonna take you thru' the tunnel of nightLilywhite Lilith,She gonna lead you right.When I'd led her through the people, the angry noise began to grow.She said "Let me feel the way the breezes blow, and I'll showyou where to go."So I followed her into a big round cave, she said "They'recoming for you, now don't be afraid."Then she sat me down on a cold stone throne, carved in jade.Lilywhite Lilith,She gonna take you thru' the tunnel of night.Lilywhite Lilith,She gonna lead you right.She leaves me in my darkness,I have to face, face my fear,And the darkness closes in on me,I can hear a whirring sound growing near.I can see the corner of the tunnel,Lit up by whatever's coming here.Two golden globes float into the roomAnd a blaze of white light fills the air.
Firth of Fifth
The path is clearThough no eyes can seeThe course laid down long before.And so with gods and menThe sheep remain inside their pen,Though many times they've seen the way to leave.He rides majesticPast homes of menWho care not or gaze with joy,To see reflected thereThe trees, the sky, the lily fair,The scene of death is lying just below.The mountain cuts off the town from view,Like a cancer growth is removed by skill.Let it be revealed.A waterfall, his madrigal.An inland sea, his symphony.Undinal songsUrge the sailors onTill lured by the sirens' cry.Now as the river dissolves in sea,So Neptune has claimed another soul.And so with gods and menThe sheep remain inside their pen,Until the Shepherd leads his flock away.The sands of time were eroded byThe river of constant change.
The sky is overcast and as Rael looks back a dark cloud is descending like a balloon into Times Square. It rests on the ground and shapes itself into a hard edged flat surface, which solidifies and extends itself all the way East and West along 47th Street and reaching up to the dark sky. As the wall takes up its tension it becomes a screen showing what had existed in three dimensions, on the other side just a moment before. The image flickers and then cracks like painted clay and the wall silently moves forward, absorbing everything in its path. The unsuspecting New Yorkers are apparently blind to what is going on. There's something solid forming in the air,And the wall of death is lowered in Times Square.No-one seems to care,They carry on as if nothing was there.Rael starts to run away towards Columbus Circle. Each time he dares to take a look, the wall has moved another block. At the moment when he thinks he's maintaining his distance from the wall, the wind blows hard and cold slowing down his speed. The wind increases, dries the wet street and picks up the dust off the surface, throwing it into Rael's face. More and more dirt is blown up and it begins to settle on Rael's skin and clothes, making a solid layered coat that brings him gradually to a terrified stillness. A sitting duck. The wind is blowing harder now,Blowing dust into my eyes.The dust settles on my skin,Making a crust I cannot move inAnd I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway.Echoes of The Broadway EvergladesWith their mythical madonnas still walking in their shades:Lenny Bruce delcares a truce and plays his other handMarshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand.Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ships sailing.Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing.Ku Klux Klan serve hot soul foood and the band plays "in The Mood"The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand,There's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almond.Caryl Chessman sniff the air, and leads the paradeHe knows, in a scent, you can bottle what you made!There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoesSmiling at the Majorette, smoking Winston cigarettesAnd as the song and dance begins, the children play at homewith needles...Needles and pins
"Can you tell me where my country lies?"said the unifaun to his true love's eyes."It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe- for her merchandise, he traded in his prize."Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd."Old man dies!" The note he left was signed 'Old Father Thames'- it seems he's drowned;selling england by the pound.Citizens of Hope & Glory,Time goes by - it's "the time of your life".Easy now, sit you down.Chewing through your Wimpey dreams,they eat without a sound;digesting england by the pound.Young man says "you are what you eat" - eat well.Old man says "you are what you wear" - wear well.You know what you are, you don't give a damn;bursting your belt that is your homemade sham.The Captain leads his dance right on through the night- join the dance...Follow on! Till the Grail sun sets in the mould.Follow on! Till the gold is cold.Dancing out with the moonlit knight,Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout.There's a fat old lady outside the saloon;laying out the credit cards she plays Fortune.The deck is uneven right from the start;and all of their hands are playing apart.The Captain leads his dance right on through the night- join the dance...Follow on! A Round Table-talking down we go.You're the show!Off we go with - You play the hobbyhorse,I'll play the fool.We'll tease the bullringing round & loud, loud & round.Follow on! With a twist of the world we go.Follow on! Till the gold is cold.Dancing out with the moonlit knight,Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout.
