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

[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
