LYRICS
The water is slowly spinning round and round.
Heading, heading ever, forever down.
I hope I don’t get sucked, quite right in….
Quite, right in. Quite, right in.
… not quite yet.

Forever walking round the paths,
Trying to find my way out.
Forever walking round the paths,
I will never get out….
Of the labyrinth… of the labyrinth… of the labyrinth… of the labyrinth….

What are you afraid of in the labyrinth?
Under my bed
In my head
Bad guys
In disguise

But, I know…
That if we try…
Try to use our mind’s eye,
We can make the walls come,
Tubmlin’ down.

(Walls all around.)
Walls of the labyrinth come tumblin’ down.
Walls come tumbling down.
The walls come tumbling down,
all around… all around… all around… all around.

ABOUT THE SONG
by Daniel Brouse

The song was originally written for my children. Before going to bed, we would sing. The song starts with one of my childhood fears — being sucked down the drain. Each time we played the song I would pause in the middle… and ask them what they were afraid of. Then, we conquered their fears.

The idea was incorporated in the world’s first interactive music album The Labyrinth

Inspiration came from David Bowie’s “The Labyrinth” and Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”.

Style: ExperiMental Music

Coversong
Originally made famous by David Bowie
Written by Bowie with producer Giorgio Moroder

Cm                  F 
See these eyes so green
Cm                  Bb 
I can stare for a thousand years
Cm               F 
Colder than the moon
Cm                    Bb Cm 
It`s been so long

Feel my blood enraged
It`s just the fear of losing you
Don`t you know my name
Well, you been so long

Cm 
And I`ve been putting out fire
NC               Cm F Bb 
With gasoline

Cm                 F 
See these eyes so red
Bb                 Cm 
Red like jungle burning bright
Cm                 F 
Those who feel me near
Bb                   Cm 
Pull the blinds and change their minds
Cm                    Bb Cm 
It`s been so long

Still this pulsing night
A plague I call a heartbeat
Just be still with me
Ya wouldn`t believe what I`ve been thru

Cm                   Bb Cm 
You`ve been so long
Cm                      Bb  Cm 
Well it`s been so long
Eb                                                   Bb Eb 
And I`ve been putting out the fire with gasoline
Eb 
Putting out the fire
With gasoline
Instrumental part: Cm F Bb Cm 

See these tears so blue
An ageless heart that can never mend
These tears can never dry
A judgement made can never bend

See these eyes so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Just be still with me
You wouldn`t believe what I`ve been thru

You`ve been so long
Well it`s been so long
And I`ve been putting out fire with gasoline
Putting out fire with gasoline

Cm   Bb  Ab 
Been so long
Bb    Ab  Bb  Cm 
[So long, so long]
Been so long
[So long, so long]
Been putting out fire
[Been so long, so long, so long]
Been putting out fire
[Been so long, so long, so long]
Been so long

LYRICS
This blip in time that I call “I am”
Is just fleeting
Can I keep it beating

The blip in time that I am
The blip in time that I call mine
Is it all self
Is it all greed and wealth

The blip in time that I call mine
Is it all fleeting
Can I keep the drum beating
The blip in time that I am
The blip in time that I call mine

The blip in time that I am
The blip in time that I call mine
Is it all just me, me, me
Do you think I could see myself free
See me being free
Wanna see me being free

The blip in time that I call mine
The blip in time that I am
Is it all fleeting
Got to keep this drum beating

Rescind!

Re-sinned
The sin of sins
Rescind the sin of rescind
Sin again and again

Begin to ascend
Rise again

Rescind
Rescind rescind
The same sin again and again
Rise above
Ascend
Find the love
Rise above

The sin of sins
Rescinding again and again

Tossing a pebble
Into a still pond
The ripples go beyond
Ripple
Go beyond
The will to live
Ascend
And, then…
Ascend
Love again and again

LYRICS
Soon you’ll come to learn not to swoon
Your position relative to the moon

Undone
Your position relative to the sun

The reality of your relativity
Graduate to the first grade
When you’re past a retrograde
Mercury
Can you see
When you’re past a retrograde theory

Your perception undone
Your perspective undone
Your relationship to the sun
It’s not that far to that star
Your relationship to the sun
It’s not that far to the start

Perhaps a loon is really influenced by the moon
But, believe me
Clarity
You don’t have to move a star
You don’t have to go that far

The relativity
Of your clarity
Let it shine
Let it shine on through
Let it shine
Let it shine on you

The reality of relativity
The theory of me and my relativity
Theory of me
Relativity

Where did everybody go?

LYRICS
Nothing like the light shinning in my window
The sun’s ray finds its way
I get to know my shadow
It’s easy to see… follows me
As I lead into the shine
Everything works out fine

Here all this time the trials of mine
Were all just trivial
Now I see the light I fell alright
I feel the arrival
The End of the beginning begins to transcend
My belief system I’m forced to suspend
The beginning of The End all starts to blend
The shadow, still in the know, follows me into the light
Bestow the gift of second sight
As I lead into the shine
Everything works out fine

LYRICS
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire

The kettle calling the pot black
Imagine that
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
Couldn’t get much more dire
Straight up dire
A dire straight
(At any rate)

Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
Fire!

Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
The circumstances couldn’t be any more dire
Guess they call this do or die or….
When you’re going to fry
Don’t you just feel like you will die
When you’re out of the frying pan
And into the fire

It might sting a little bit
Eventually the sensation will quit
It might hurt a little bit
Then the sensation will quit
When you hit
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
That’s it
When you hit
That’s it
That’s how you know it
When you quit

LYRICS
Becoming intimate with inanimate objects
Even the Devil objects
Going to hell in a hand-basket
Yet….
Have we a redeeming quality?
Search me
More than devilish… it’s selfish

Do you care that there’s humans out there
Who said life is fair
Time for your soul to bare

Intimate to inanimate objects
Even the devil objects
Don’t you care to give
To those that live

Intimidate the flesh
Intimidate the blood
Intimidate the bone
Doesn’t mesh… flood the compassion zone
Out of fashion compassion
Time you leave it alone

I’ve got a riddle

How can you hide from your hide, Hyde?

How can you hide from your hide (skin)
How can you hide from your Hyde (Jekyll)

Riddle me this… give me one guess
How can you hide from inside

Is it comical when your Jekyll is Hyde
When you’re Jekyll how can you hide

If you’ve got the time
How can you hide from you “I am”

Are you true blue?
Or are you some shade of gray?
What do you have to say

You should know your true colors today

All of a sudden you’ve got to be on your way

A line has been drawn in the sand
Do you understand
Are you true blue or some shade of gray
Perhaps the yellow underbelly
Blood red, really

Are you true blue?
