Meteor

(by Kevin Brown)



I ain't seen the sky in so long
Washed in red and set on fire
Can't remember hearin' night fall
singin' like a Sunday choir

I been on the run for so long
Just another legend bein' born
Can't say where it is I'm goin'
Or where tonight I'll be lyin'

Feel the beat of the rythym of the road
Feel the beat of the rythym of the road

Takin' a trip down the cosmic highway
Catch a ride if your goin' my way
Hot white lights in my rearview mirror
Road ahead don't seem much clearer

But I'm flyin' like a meteor

Campfire smoke like a ghostly shroud
Under God's long distance nightfall
Lookin' out through endless starlight
Nothin' in this world is so small

Takin' a trip down the cosmic highway
Catch a ride if your goin' my way
Hot white lights in my rearview mirror
Road ahead don't seem much clearer
I been on the run for so long
Just another legend bein' born

But I'm flyin' like a meteor

Feel the beat of the rythym of the road
Feel the beat of the rythym of the road

Flyin' like a meteor

Carnival Ride

(by Kevin Brown)

Stare into a cup of coffee
At two eyes there starin' back at me
Like a FunHouse mirror
Distorting everything I see
And they take on different meanings
Until that image can't be judged at all, in fact
Until the reflection that you're lookin' at
Isn't nothin' like the one who's lookin' back

And you find you're in the carnival
With a fire inside burnin' you alive
Colored lights that hypnotize
Spinning cartwheels all across you're mind
Lookin' for some gospel
Or maybe just some reason to believe
The carnival it waits for you
Step inside the Barker calls, we'll feed your dreams

(break)

The Carney takes your money
For a seat on another thrilling ride
you strap into the cockpit
reachin' for a partner at your side
Now your standin' on the Midway
It's magical illusions to reveal
And the carnival is at full tilt
And you know you won't ever want to leave

You empty out your pockets
Playin' every last game of chance
Hope to carry home a prize
The lights and music hold you in their trance
The Midway holds your dreams
Right there in the palm readers hand
And the sign says Madame Out Today
No fortunes read since she's been away

(break)

Sittin' at the top of the Ferris wheel
You can see for miles and miles around
The lights go on forever
Whether you are lookin' up or lookin' down
Tomorrow is another day
A whole new group of guests to arrive
But before they close the gates tonight
Maybe you and I can get in one more ride
