Whirlwind – 18th November 1985

In a whirlwind of psychotic dreams
Comes the echo of sadistic screams
Dancing through the stars too far away to see
Floating ever onward in anxiety

You’ve buried your problems – deep inside your head
Keep your eyes closed – and scream in dread
Clasp your hands tight – you have sinned
You’ll be consumed – in a whirlwind

Travelling through the blue and into the red
Your skin is itching and beginning to shed
Let us pray, for you have sinned
Let us dance into the whirlwind

Into the vortex, your body falls
Dropping away towards your master’s calls
whistling around your body, dirty coils of dust
Now you are in doubt about your master’s trust

You’ve burning the problem – deep inside your head
You’ve cut the strings – but this is final thread
Hold yourself tight – you have sinned
But you can free yourself – from the whirlwind

Castle In The Sky – 3rd November 1985

My mind is always saying, I’ve gotta leave this place
Take that alcohol to help me keep the pace
But one day I decided and I just up and went
And forgot about the wasted days I’ve spent

I took a trip, took me far away
Closed my eyes, woke up another day
I took a trip, took me up so high
Took me up to a castle in the sky

The sun came out to shine that day
I rode a rainbow, took me far away
Chase the gold that shone before my eyes
I stretched out to reach that richest prize

I saw the nights in armour as a maiden calls
I just stare in horror as she falls
Now I am returning from the castle in the sky
I sit back and wonder if I’ll die
