about

This song has a chorus that is implied to be neverending. Ideally it would just keep going and going.....like the wheel of time and fortune. The song speeds up gradually in the verses, which conveys a desperation and an inescapable fact of dealing with things that make you want to lose your head, or escape. The choruses on the other hand don't speed up, they remain constant in tempo and feeling...a reassurance that everything will return to balance eventually... yet its an off kilter waltz, a dance. Balance is always a dance teetering on the brink of falling over. this song is another take on our version of folk music. Its lush with acoustic textures and has no electronic manipulation, except for the end when the tremolo autoharp sounds like it's turning into an exploding jet.

lyrics

struck dumb by lady luck
feel like a million bucks
lost in the lust of life
I bled right into the night

dreams deeper than a well
so hard to break the spell
buried in the easter egg
gonna climb right outta my head
climb outta my outta my head

all shall pass
dancing thru the looking glass

lost can be found
as the wheel turns all around

sing for the comin' age
hear it come again
lovely spring

crimson flowers
in your hair

color of the wasted earth
nothing like surrender
everybody gonna take a ride
on the death ship valentine

beyond all certainty
social machinery's
buried in the garden bed
gonna climb right outta my head
climb outta my outta my head

all shall pass
dancing thru the looking glass

dreams in the air
crimson flowers in your hair

castles will fall
though our hard times are not done at all

lost can be found
as the wheel turns all around

sing for the comin' age
hear it come again
lovely spring

crimson flowers
in your hair

dreams deeper than a well
so hard to break the spell
buried in thee easter egg
gonna climb right outta my head
climb outta my outta my head
