AMUSEMENT PARK
David William
Down by the lights intoxicate
In waves of red and blue
It's all ahead of you
Lost in a maze of make believe
Strapped into the seat
And about to make a move
Swing out of the cold and into the new
With candyfloss and the man about to choose
You're out of control the butterflies grow
But you can jump off the ride
Amusement Park
Amusement Park
In the arcade the coins are poised
There's dogs around the back
Howling at the moon
When he comes to stay at your mouth
Like a vodka lemonade
Do you think you can't be saved?
Swing out of the cold and into the new
With candyfloss and the man about to choose
You're out of control the butterflies grow
But you can jump off the ride
Amusement Park
Untwisted not torn
The logic's all gone
Leave the desert for Truth
Before you there was water
A drop in the ocean that's you
Swing out of the cold and into the new
With candyfloss and the man about to choose
You're out of control the butterflies grow
But you can jump off the ride
Swing out of the cold and into the new
With candyfloss and the man about to choose
You're out of control the butterflies grow
But you can jump off the ride
Swing out of the cold and into the new
With candyfloss and the world on a fuse
We're out of control the butterflies grow
But you can jump off the ride

WINNERS & LOSERS
David William
So you're doing well
I'm better on the floor
Everyday brings something unlike before
Catapult my heart
Through a world so strange
Ripping through illusion in the dancing rain
The night's aglow
Red green and gold
In and out and in
In and out and in
Breathe out begin
The fear subsides
Consciousness still
Cos win and then I lose
Autumn winter blues
Soon becomes spring
So I make my way
Through forests pirouette
Eliminating those ghosts I should forget
The tables turn again
A channel coming through
They're picking up the Music on the long way home
The night's aglow
Red green and gold
In and out and in
In and out and in
Breathe out begin
The fear subsides
Consciousness still
Cos win and then I lose
Autumn winter blues
Soon becomes spring
Soon becomes spring
Tactical decisions fade away
We escape
With or without them we go
With or without them we know
The night's aglow
Red green and gold
In and out and in
In and out and in
Breathe out begin
The fear subsides
Consciousness still
Cos win and then I lose
Autumn winter blues
Soon becomes spring
Soon becomes spring
Nothingness wins
The winners and the losers
The winners and the losers
The winners and the losers
The winners and the losers
The winners and the losers
We're winners and we're losers
ALL AN ILLUSION
David William
She said "come to me"
As the ashtray glows
Did this multiplying bliss get lost so long ago?
Ubiquitous beneath
The ever present source
Now it's everywhere inside and reaching out to those
It's all an illusion they said
It's only a game we swallowed up
It's all an illusion this life
Went down the rabbit hole and well
Awaken from the dream
The people know their place
And all my visions blossom into scenes I'd always chased
Each and every thought
Brings itself to my feet
I can see so clearly now
My eyes no longer deceived
It's all an illusion they said
It's only a game we swallowed up
It's all an illusion this life
Went down the rabbit hole and well
It's only a game we play and the end is to
Remember yourself in love
You can't carry on trying to teach yourself
What you already know
It's all an illusion they said
It's only a game we swallowed up
It's all an illusion this life
Went down the rabbit hole and well
SUNFLOWER GIRL
David William
Cast away the fears that held us back
Track the sun remember to return
I can show you a new name to transcend
Yes I can feel you coming up around the bend
First your words on the screen
And your voice on the line
Now a picture appears
Out of nothing here you come
Sunflower Girl
You make my world go round
Sunflower Girl
The sun is always out
As the waves return into the sea
There is nowhere but here that we can be
Take love further the last time paid our debt
Make an entrance I never will forget
Like your words on the screen
And your voice through the night
Now a face will emerge
Out of death there comes the light
Sunflower Girl
You make my world go round
Sunflower Girl
The sun is always out
If I can feel it then I can be it
I know
Don't listen to what they say
I know
Cos this love will work out right
To live you have to die to find yourself
Sunflower Girl
You make my world go round
Sunflower Girl
The sun is always out
Sunflower Girl
You make my world go round
Sunflower Girl
The sun is always out
OCTOBER ROSE
David William
Lazy autumn day lighting up your face
Communicating elegance
Catch me by surprise beyond all disguise
Echo into innocence
Bologna cafe lights from the train tonight
Communicating elegance
Talk Italian strange conversation ends
We've got to get together now
All I've ever wanted is all that you are
Tell me what it is that makes October rose
To be this close
Standing face to face heart begins to race
Whenever I'm beside of you
You're no stranger I know we're as close as it goes
We've got it all together now
All I've ever wanted is all that you are
Tell me what it is that makes October rose
To be this close
Standing in the queue wondering who's who
And loneliness the modern blues
October rose you came lighting up the way
Rushing up inside of me
All I've ever wanted is all that I am
All I ever am the love that overflows
Tell me what it is that makes October rose
The love that grows
A love that grows
CONVEYER BELT
David William
End of the empire makes things better
Wearing new clothes but watch the letters
Watch the letters
Out of the nightshift some would sweat it
Express yourself by all means let it
By all means let it
Be what you want but don't deny
The higher the tree the more to climb
There's more to climb
Morning to those aboard the train
Clean out the house and look to new places
Look to new planes
Conveyer belt of hope and fears runs down the years
Look to the gap between the words
It's there you change the things that you're dealt
On this conveyer belt
Trying to chain you to past lives
Bring it all forward into the Light
Into the Light
Deep underground you can't imagine
More than you're wildest dreams in action
So let it happen
Conveyer belt of hope and fears runs down the years
Look to the gap between the words
It's there you change the things that you're dealt
On this conveyer belt
Conveyer belt of hope and fears runs down the years
Look to the gap between the words
It's there you change the things that you're dealt
On this conveyer belt
SUNRISE
David William
School days seem so long ago
All that's left I could spit it out
Being told what to do
I never even knew
You existed at all
I felt small
They only taught me to crawl
Sunrise
Shine a light on all that's here so I can see
Sunrise
Now is fine to live as we were born to be
Leaves that fall of their own accord
Fills my heart just to hear your song
We're turning water to wine
And leaving it behind
Let's make something brand new
We've opened doors
And now we're coming through
Sunrise
Shine a light on all that's here so I can see
Sunrise
Now is time to live as we were born to be
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
When you don't move at all
Sunrise
Shine a light on all that's here so I can see
Sunrise
Now is fine to live as we were born to be
Shine a light on all that's here so I can see
Sunrise
Now is time to live as we were born to be
Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light
Sunrise...

Swing out of the cold and into the new

You're out of control the butterflies grow
But you can jump off the ride
Amusement Park
It's twisted and torn
The logic's all gone
In a desert of Truth
If only there was water
A drop in the ocean to you
Swing out of the cold and into the new
With candyfloss and the man about to shoot
You're out of control the butterflies grow
But you can jump off the ride
Swing out of the cold and into the new

WINNERS & LOSERS (BALCARRES STREET DEMO)
David William
So you're doing well
I'm better on the floor
Everyday feels just like the one before
Catapult my heart
The ruins that remain
Running through the quicksand in the driving rain
I feel so low
Nowhere to go
In and out and in
In and out and in
So many whims
Defeat decides
You are to win
Cos win and then I lose
Everything to prove
I'm not losing
Try to make my way
Through forests of regret
The winners and the losers will not forget
The tables turn again
And now you don't belong
Picking up the pieces on the long way home
I feel so low
Nowhere to go
In and out and in
In and out and in
So many whims
Defeat decides
You are to win
Cos win and then I lose
Everything to prove
I'm not losing
No I'm not losing
Tactical decisions to be made
No escape
I don't mind waiting at all
Said I don't mind waiting at all
I feel so low
Nowhere to go
In and out and in
In and out and in
So many whims
Defeat decides
You are to win
Cos win and then I lose
Everything to prove
I'm not losing
No I'm not losing
Oh I'm not losing
The winners and the losers
The winners and the losers
The winners and the losers
The winners and the losers
ALL AN ILLUSION (BALCARRES STREET DEMO)
David William
Don't know what to say
In the ashtray glow
I could multipli myself and still you wouldn't know
Ubiquitous beneath
The molten rocks and stones
Now it's everywhere inside but too afraid to show
It's all an illusion instead
It's only a game we swallowed up
It's all an illusion this life
You scratched the surface and you bled
Sick of all this talk
It never goes nowhere
And all my visions stay upstream in states of disrepair
Each and every word
Seems to hang in the air
A better place we both could find but that is what we beware
It's all an illusion instead
It's only a game we swallowed up
It's all an illusion this life
You scratched the surface and you bled
It's only a game we play till the end and try to
Get what we can I said
You can't carry on trying to teach yourself
What you already know
It's all an illusion instead
It's only a game we swallowed up
It's all an illusion this life
You scratched the surface and you bled

OCTOBER ROSE (BALCARRES STREET DEMO)
David William
Lazy autumn day lighting up your face
I'm never where I wanna be
And if all's alright beneath the surface I
I'm never where I wanna be
Play the game of life roll another dice
I'm never where I wanna be
October rose you sail far beyond the veil
I'm never where I wanna be
All I've ever wanted is all that you have
Tell me what it is that makes this world go round
I'm coming down
Standing in the queue working out who's who
I'm never where I wanna be
Etched into my walls nothing changes at all
I'm never where I wanna be
All I've ever wanted is all that you have
Tell me what it is that makes this world go round
I'm coming down
Still I think of you think of all you'd do
And then I'm where I wanna be
October rose you sail right outside the pale
Remember where I wanna be
All I've ever wanted is all that you have
All I've ever done is watch you going by
Tell me what it is that makes this world go round
I'm coming down
I'm coming down
CONVEYER BELT (BALCARRES STREET DEMO)
David William
Serve up the plate with today's dinner
In the canteen the queue gets bigger
The queue gets bigger
Enter the details on the screen
Watching the clock in between
In between
Settle down now you're on the sofa
Watching the world through one more joker
One more joker
Climb into bed and close your eyes
See all the things that you deny
That you deny
Conveyer belt of hope and fears runs down the years
Look for the gaps between the words
Cos you can't change the way that you felt
On this conveyer belt
Open your eyes and see what's waiting
Open the mail and feel mistaken
Feel mistaken
Deep underground the whole thing shatters
All that is left is all that matters
It's all that matters
Conveyer belt of hope and fears runs down the years
Look for the gaps between the words
Cos you can't change the way that you felt
On this conveyer belt
Conveyer belt of hope and fears runs down the years
Look for the gaps between the words
Cos you can't change the way that you felt
On this conveyer belt
On this conveyer belt
SUNRISE (BALCARRES STREET DEMO)
David William
School days seem so long ago
All that's left I could spit it out
But every once in a while
I'd smile for you
You can watch every move I make wrong
But this is my only chance
Sunrise
And I want to say so many things to you
Sunrise
And I need to get away cos nothing here feels real
Leaves that fall of their own accord
Fills my heart just to hear your song
Every once in a while
I'll smile for you
They can watch every move I make wrong
But this is my only chance
Sunrise
And I want to say so many things to you
Sunrise
And I need to get away cos nothing here feels real
I can feel you coming
I can feel you coming
Floating through the night
Sunrise
And I want to say so many things to you
Sunrise
And I need to get away cos nothing here feels real
And I want to say so many things to you
Sunrise
And I need to
Need to
Need to get away
Yeah I need to
Need to
Need to get away
Sunrise
Sunrise...
