	作词 : Harper
	There's an owl in the valley fixing his prey
	He's not counting the tally
	It's down to what comes up before the day
	And the trees in the orchard were taken from a narrow view of time
	Where the minds of the tortured perpetuated patron saints of crime
	Oh civilisation.

	I can fit into your puzzle but it's hardly, hardly ever a hold
	And I'll tell you, yeah yeah, tell you the trouble
	The habits I've got are more than 10.000 years old
	And we cannot sell our souls to learning morals
	Big brother is no place for us to slide
	We cannot live by numbers or on laurels
	And hardly on how far from death we hide.

	And it's not a case of rampant paranoia
	But just an age I'd love to see unborn
	Not that I'd be missing playing Goya
	More like I feel awkward passing on
	Civilisation, civilisation down to my children
	Without a question.

	While the prophets of freedom, battery farming brains for narrow minds
	Have decided, yes they decided that meaning is far beyond the lives they left behind
	As two thirds of the population dine
	On scraps in shadow lengthening with time
	While propaganda spreads the same old theme
	You is me and we can change the game, bullshit.

	Oh but how many times have we written these lines
	And delivered these signs and not made it happen
	Walking the tightrope of taking our head off
	Losing the rhythm, idealising and all criticising
	And not realising that we've changed and left and we've gone.

	And sad to be leaving the things we believe in but time has a way and we fly
	The next age is born and the old hands are gone and done in the wink of an eye
	No point in passing bad reason good guessing, no time for massing much more than can flourish with love.

	And right now, my darling, I'm lying here dreaming of feeling, no daylight between us
	So wherever you are and whenever I'm there is someplace we've got to be ours
	Can we right-heartedly stand in this light and see what might turn out to be crazy enough, enough to be we ?

	When we've had a past sad enough to last for sometime into the future
	These storms have torn and true love is alone and the past is almost a failure
	Consciences burn in the programme turn, computing the social behaviour
	But yoke revolts, the foundation bolts and cries for yet another saviour.

	And I'd pack my things on a pair of wings and tomorrow I'd be parting
	With the summer birds and the winter herds for a place to face a new heart in
	But it makes no difference, where I am I'm in the game first hand
	There are no certain answers and no time to understand
	The rules are set to paradox, coercion and blind faith
	The goal's a changing paradise, a moment out of date
	The dream is righteous grandeur fit to flood the universe
	The fact is more than meets the eye but less than runs the earth, running the earth.

	And the prisoner of the present paces up and down inside his cell
	He's the living replacement, somersaulting from this psychic well
	Screaming : 'I'm the sponsor of a hell'
	Voices like the sea inside a shell
	Telling me I cannot stake a claim
	Possession is a clue but not the game
	So please leave this world as clean as when you came.

	So please leave this world as clean as when you came
	Please leave this world as clean as when you came
	Please leave this world as clean as when you came
	Please leave this world as clean as when you came.
