Wire and Glass Lyrics

[L. Bird]

Here's what I made of it a little while back.  This is from Pete's demos, 
and there may be some slight changes on the EP.

Sound Round

I'm young in my camper van
The world feels all new
I fear the future man
As i take in the view
Don't know where the heck to now
I give up no badge (?)
My friends are all dead now
Or stifled in the sand(?)

Sound round,
Feel the ground,
Feel the pulse that we have found,
Breathe in,
Feel the spin,
Where's the dream that we were in?

Sound round,
Feel the ground,
Feel the pulse that we have found

Sound round,
Feel the ground,
Feel the pulse that we have found,
Breathe in,
Feel the spin,
Where's the dream that we were in?

Sound round,
Feel the ground,
Feel the pulse that we have found

I'm young in my camper van
The world feels all new
I feel the future man
As i take in the view


Pick up the Peace

Now I’m in the ether
Look down on time
I see three children
Prepare to walk the line
I see them older
When life is done
I was a loser
At the game they won

Come on lets try to
Pick up the peace
You and I
On our hands or knees
Come on lets try to pick up
Pick up the peace

Come on let's try to touch the peace
You and I on our hands and knees
Come on lets try to pick up pick up
The peace.

How do all people forget
That the waltz may seem (?)
All about me longing for you
You longing for me
You longing for me.


Endless Wire

We found this pile of paper
Written by the Ether Man
He hatched a mad old caper
He had a mad old plan

He’d turn us into music
He’d show us to our portals
He’d gather wire and angels
To entertain immortals

Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless wire
Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless, endless, endless, endless wire

Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless wire
Out on the endless, endless
Out on the endless, endless, endless, endless wire


We Got A Hit

We got our folks together
We broke down barriers
We found a dream to dream.
We were the carriers
We got rich and famous
We got rich and famous
We got papers at our door
We talked a load of crap
They just wanted more.

We got a hit
We got a hit
We got a hit
We got a hit
We got a hit
We got a hit
We got a hit
We got a hit.


They Made My Dreams Come True

People died where I perform
People cried when Glass performed (reformed?)
Shots rang out
As the singer yourned
The band played on
‘Til the dawn

Lies and drunks
And drugs and fools
Tricks and stones
Disguise the tools (?)

With the victim dead
With their blood in pools
This not part of
Showbiz rules.

They made my dreams come true.
They made my dreams come true.
They made my dreams come true.


Mirror Door

If you don't hear me how can I tell you
If you don't listen why should I speak?
If you're indifferent how can I reach you?
Just 'cuz you're angry don't assume I'm weak

Howlin Wolf and Old Link Wray
Dave van Ronk and Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGhee,
Elvis, Buddy, Eddie C

Music makes me, makes me strong
Strong vibrations make me long
Long for a place where I belong
You will find me in this song...

Chorus:
Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music or will there be war?
Will we be rich or will we be poor?
Who will walk through the mirror door

[repeat chorus]

A thousand angels, a million children
Fire and fear in a suicide eye
Golden stairway to a zeppelin heaven
Rolling thunder under a New York sky

Frank and Ella, Ray -- What'd I say? --
Johnny Cash and Johnnie Ray
Amadeus and Ludwig van
Henry*, Johann, and the Doo Dah Band

We are here in celebration
This music's gonna make us strong
We're gonna climb to the golden station
Curtis Mayfield ain't waitin' long.
Get on board!

[chorus, twice]

The mirror door...the mirror door

Howlin' Wolf and old Link Wray
Dave van Ronk and Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGhee
Elvis, Buddy, and Eddie C

Frank and Ella, Ray -- What'd I say? --
Johnny Cash and Johnnie Ray
Amadeus and Ludwig van
Henry, Johann, and the Doo Dah Band

Keep on climbin'
