Shes a queen of my delusion
Shes my zen from way back when
And because of my confusion is a face without a name

She lived on lucky charms & coffee

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I think that possibly
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you
I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze

I just wanna feel a breeze
Catching up on sleep

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
The night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

We stood here on the shore.
The air was sweet and mild,
With disbelief implausibly suspended.

And in my child's imagination, I remember you;
Though, I didn't know if we were foes or friends.
But now you're standing here,
I see the vision coming clear.

You're clear out of this world
When I'm looking at you
I hear out of this world
The music that no mortal ever knew

I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth

The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy
'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore
And then they are bored of me
I know that it's exciting running through the night, but
Every perfect summer's eating me alive until you're gone
Better on my own

So I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion
I rent

What was it about that night (what was it about that night)
Connection in an isolating age
For once, the shadows gave way to light (for once, the shadows gave way to light)

Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the height
What was before we see once more
Is our kingdom a distant light

Fiery mountain beneath the moon
The words unspoken, we'll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune

Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven't seen the back of us yet
We'll fight as long as we live

All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We'll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long forgotten gold

King of silver
King of gold
And everything glittering
Under the ground

Hades is king
Of oil and coal
And the riches that flow
Where those rivers are found

But for half of the year with Persephone gone
His loneliness moves in him crude and black
He thinks of his wife in the arms of the sun

(random rant - out of everything I've seen on Broadway, Hadestown was my favorite, somehow manaaged to go in blind, and they have a near original cast back again! but actually some of the understudies who replaced them were my favorites. so good)

Come a little closer 'cause you lookin' thirsty
I'ma make it better, sip it like a Slurpee
Snow cone chilly, get it free like Willy
In the jeans like Billie, you be poppin' like a wheelie

Even in the sun, you know I keep it icy
You could take a lick, but it's too cold to bite me
Brr, brr, frozen, you're the one been chosen
Play the part like Moses, keep it fresh like roses

(Hadestown was AMAZING!!! Did you ever listen to the off-broadway cast? I kind of miss the pre-Broadway versions of the Epics)

Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses
(Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses)
Show no concern for colors of a violet
Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus
(Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus)
Hopes it won't spark envy in your irises (irises)

And I will not compare other beauty to mine
And I will not become a thorn in my own side
And I will not return to where I once was
Well I can break through the earth, come up soft and wild

My my my, my my my my my, my my my my
I'm a wild and untamed thing
I'm a bee with a deadly sting
You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart will thump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
We're gonna shake it til the life has gone
Rose tints my world keeps me safe from my trouble and pain.
