Arabesque
[01:56.26] Wandering the low lands and high plains
[02:01.04] Been crossing the mountains
[02:03.43] Sailing the sea
[02:08.21] Anxiety-free
[02:14.59] Been craving for rain in the desert
[02:19.63] Saw bleak nights devour
[02:22.31] The day's blazing heat, oh
[02:33.45] A light burning out
[02:35.30] Tied to the canon's apron
[02:37.70] Hie in obedience to the scantiness of time
[02:42.22] Meant to astound
[02:44.60] Entangled in adornment
[02:47.26] An ornament sublime
[02:52.30] Dreams allayed
[02:56.55] No weakness gets betrayed
[03:00.81] Right on
[03:04.27] Swaying to the sacred fanfares
[03:08.52] Don't you stop to run
[03:13.56] From paradise to despair
[03:16.75] Yeah, strident voices
[03:20.20] Now why don't you?
[03:22.32] Why do you slow down? Right on!
[03:26.57] Don't speak, don't wonder!
[03:29.50] That way! This way! Don't walk astray!
[03:34.01] Welcome to the arabesque
[03:40.39] Oh
[03:43.04] Oh
[03:57.92] You beat up against the wind and the flow
[04:02.43] Concealing your tears
[04:04.82] With the sweat from your brow
[04:07.74] No one see's them, they're next to you
[04:11.73] Deride them, despite they're the faithful
[04:15.18] The only, the true, oh
[04:23.15] Got a navigation map and aspiration
[04:31.39] If only that good old chart
[04:32.71] Would show the seas ya gonna sail
[04:35.37] Run up and down
[04:37.76] Until you stand to reason
[04:40.15] Faithfully you break
[04:45.20] Dreams aligned
[04:49.45] Stalwartly confined
[04:53.70] Right on
[04:56.89] Swaying to the sacred fanfares
[05:01.40] Don't you stop to run
[05:06.44] To the promised land in despair
[05:10.71] Voices screaming
[05:13.09] Now why don't you?
[05:15.21] Why do you slow down?
[05:18.41] Right on! Don't speak, don't wonder!
[05:22.38] That way! This way! Don't walk astray!
[05:26.90] Welcome to the arabesque
[05:32.21] Toss and turn all night
[05:33.55] Got to get it right
[05:35.40] Is it just a dream
[05:37.00] Or runaway fantasy?
[05:38.85] Reverie out of kilter?
[05:41.25] Got to carry on
[05:43.10] Go on, play along
[05:44.70] Don't you let them down
[05:46.82] As they help you drown
[05:48.15] Your feelings in a philtre
[05:51.34] I want the turmoil to go away
[05:55.33] And slowly I'd trouble no more
[05:59.84] Like a grain the wild wind blows away
[06:04.62] From a whispering, blistering shore
[06:09.40] If you'd look back at the shore through my eyes
[06:13.92] Having sailed just a mile in my shell
[06:18.97] Hold to think and maybe feel what it's like
[06:23.74] At the deep end of slightly unwell
[06:28.53] Got to carry on
[06:29.86] Must be going strong
[06:31.98] Wipe away the tears
[06:33.31] Put your vizard on
[06:35.17] Welcome to the creep show
[06:37.56] Welcome to the freak show!
[06:40.75] And I'm dreaming of mother love
[06:44.72] And colouring outside the lines like a child
[06:50.04] Beyond growing up
[06:51.64] And the pain that goes along with it
[06:57.75] To escape these confines
[08:38.68] Oh, no breath for pretence
[08:43.46] Refuse to make sense
[08:46.65] Right on
[08:49.83] Swaying to the sacred fanfares
[08:54.36] Don't you stop to run
[08:59.40] From paradise to despair
[09:03.65] Searing voices
[09:05.77] Now why don't you?
[09:08.16] Why do you slow down?
[09:11.09] Right on! Don't speak, don't wonder!
[09:15.34] That way, this way, don't walk astray
[09:19.85] Welcome to the arabesque
[09:24.64] Right on
[09:27.55] Swaying to the sacred fanfares
[09:32.07] Don't you stop to run
[09:39.51] Right on, right on
[09:42.17] Through the pain and the fire
[09:45.62] Through the wind and the rain
[09:48.54] Walking a long way from home
[09:52.52] Right on
