Lyrics

Crystal Ship

[Verse 1]

Before you slip into unconsciousness

I'd like to have another kiss

Another flashing chance at bliss

Another kiss, another kiss

[Verse 2]

The days are bright and filled with pain

Enclose me in your gentle rain

The time you ran was too insane

We'll meet again, we'll meet again

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Oh, tell me where your freedom lies

The streets are fields that never die

Deliver me from reasons why

You'd rather die, I'd rather fly

[Verse 4]

The crystal ship is being filled

A thousand girls, a thousand thrills

A million ways to spend your time

When we get back, I'll drop a line
