Spiral Staircase

[Verse 1: Bert Gotrax, Patricia Taxxon] Melody playing from the courtyard calling me to meet you Across the border I can see the one I love Color me with the broadest brush, the glass won’t keep me down I have to tell myself by rote to know to see is good enough Melody, approaching from the follicles of destiny I swear Your eyes still pull me out, they reach right through the air Color me with the broadest brush, I see you all alone Untouched by radiation, sculpted body made of rusted chrome [Chorus: Bert Gotrax, Patricia Taxxon] Sunlight Midnight Red clouds Glass house Frozen Carapace Spiral Staircase [Verse 2: Bert Gotrax, Patricia Taxxon] Harmony, the resonance emits from your abode I feel a longing that my circuits simply weren’t built to hold Color me with the brilliant sun above this barren land So close and yet so far, from the touch of your own hand Harmony, the sound of young machinery outside my garden Oh what a contrast to the land I see you walk in Color me with the artificial light that keeps me safe But what is safety in the end if I still cannot touch your face [Chorus: Bert Gotrax, Patricia Taxxon] Sunlight Midnight Red clouds Glass house Frozen Carapace Spiral Staircase Sunlight Midnight Red clouds Glass house Frozen Carapace Spiral Staircase [Verse 3: Bert Gotrax, Patricia Taxxon] When I close my eyes I see us flying through the air And in my heart of hearts I’m certain that the land will see us there Color us together like the Renaissance has come again There’s beauty in this vision and I’ll see it to the end When I let my optometric systems fail again I dream of witnessing your visage step upon new fertile plains There’s a great significance to all the things we’ve seen And then the only constant still remaining, you belong with me
