The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers' eyes
Here are we, one magical moment, such is
the stuff
From where dreams are woven
Bending sound, dredging the ocean, lost in
my circle
Here am I, flashing no colour
Tall in this room overlooking the ocean

Here are we, one magical movement from
Kether to Malkuth
There are you, you drive like a demon from
station to station
The return of the Thin White Duke, throwing
darts in lovers' eyes
The return of the Thin White Duke, throwing
darts in lovers' eyes
The return of the Thin White Duke, making
sure white stays

Once there were mountains on mountains
And once there were sunbirds to soar with
And once I could never be down
Got to keep searching and searching
Oh, what will I be believing and who will
connect me with love?
Wonder who, wonder who, wonder when
Have you sought fortune, evasive and shy?
Drink to the men who protect you and I
Drink, drink, drain your glass, raise your
glass high

It's not the side-effects of the cocaine
I'm thinking that it must be love
It's too late - to be grateful
It's too late - to be late again
It's too late - to be hateful
The european cannon is here

I must be only one in a million
I won't let the day pass without her
It's too late - to be grateful
It's too late - to be late again
It's too late - to be hateful
The european cannon is here

Should I believe that I've been stricken?
Does my face show some kind of glow?
It's too late - to be grateful
It's too late - to be late again
It's too late - to be hateful
The european cannon is here, yes it's here
It's too late

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late, it's too
late
The european cannon is here.

Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Don't let me hear you say
life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come get up my baby

There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby

Last night they loved you,
opening doors and pulling some strings,
angel
Come get up my baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come get up my baby

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden
years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby

Some of these days, and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once
belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty foot long
Don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I
believe oh lord
I believe all the way
Come get up my baby

There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby

Don't let me hear you say
life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden
years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop

In this age of grand illusion
you walked into my life out of my dreams
I don't need another change,
still you forced away into my scheme of
things
You say we're growing,
growing heart and soul
In this age of grand illusion
you walked into my life out of my dreams
Sweet name, you're born once again for me
Sweet name, you're born once again for me
Oh sweet name, I call you again,
you're born once again for me
Just because I believe don't mean
I don't think as well
Don't have to question everything in heaven
or hell

Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a
wing
And I'm trying hard to fit
among your scheme of things
It's safer than a strange land,
but I still care for myself
And I don't stand in my own light
Lord, lord, my prayer flies like a word on a
wing
My prayer flies like a word on a wing
Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of
things?

In this age of grand illusion
you walked into my life out of my dreams
Sweet name, you're born once again for me
just as long as I can see,
I'll never stop this vision flowing
I look twice and you're still flowing
Just as long as I can walk
I'll walk beside you,
I'm alive in you
Sweet name, you're born once again for me
And I'm ready to shape the scheme of
things

Ready to shape the scheme of things

Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a
wing
And I'm trying hard to fit
among your scheme of things
It's safer than a strange land,
but I still care for myself
And I don't stand in my own light
Lord, lord, my prayer flies like a word on a
wing
And I'm trying hard to fit
among your scheme of things
It's safer than a strange land,
but I still care for myself
And I don't stand in my own light
Lord, lord, my prayer flies like a word on a
wing
My prayer flies like a word on a wing
Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of
things?

Up every evening 'bout half eight or nine
I give my complete attention
to a very good friend of mine
He's quadraphonic, he's a, he's got more
channels
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
I brought my baby home, she, she sat
around forlorn
She saw my T V C one five, baby's gone,
she
She crawled right in, oh my
She crawled right in my
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
Oh, so demonic, oh my T V C one five

Maybe if I pray every, each night I sit there
pleading
"Send back my dream test baby,
she's my main feature"
My T V C one five, he, he just stares back
unblinking
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
One of these nights I may just
Jump down that rainbow way. be with my
baby, then
We'll spend some time together
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
My baby's in there someplace, love's rating
in the sky
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five

Oh my T V C one five, oh oh, T V C one five

This week dragged past me so slowly
The days fell on their knees
Maybe I'll take something to help me
Hope someone takes after me
I guess there's always some change in the
weather
This time I know we could get it together
If I did casually mention tonight
That would be crazy tonight

Stay - that's what I meant to say or do
something
But what I never say is stay this time
I really meant to so bad this time
'Cause you can never really tell when
somebody
Wants something you want too

Heartwrecker, heartwrecker, make me
delight
Right is so vague when it brings someone
new
This time tomorrow I'll know what to do
I know it's happened to you

Stay - that's what I meant to say or do
something
But what I never say is stay this time
I really meant to so bad this time

'Cause you can never really tell when
somebody
Wants something or wants to stay
That's what I meant to say or do something
But what I never say is stay this time
I really meant to so bad this time
'cause you can never really tell when
somebody
Wants something you want too

Love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress, satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind, wild is the wind

CHORUS
You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me, all things to me
Don't you know, you're life itself!

Like the leaf clings to the tree,
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures of the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

CHORUS

Like the leaf clings to the tree,
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures in the wind, and wild is the wind

Wild is the wind (4 times)
