Well it`s time to begin as the summer sets in
It`s the scene You set for new lovers You play your part painting in a new start But each gate will open another June July and August said "It`s probably hard to plan ahead" June July and August said "It`s better to bask in each others" Gatekeeper seasons wait for your nod Gatekeeper you held your breath Made the summer go on and on Well they tried to stay in from the cold and wind Making love and making their dinner Only to find that the love that they grew in the summer Froze February April said "Don`t be fooled by the summer again" February April said "That half of the year, well we`ll never be friends" Gatekeeper seasons wait for your nod Gatekeeper you held your breath Made the winter go on and on Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper Seasons wait for your nod |

> A compromise between honesty and lies
To lead me past, their sly disguise My moves are slow but soon they'll know Behind the scenes they grow their schemes Hiding intentions, revealing only fractions Their moves are slow but soon you'll know They'll keep on whispering their mantras We'll keep on whispering our mantras My moves are slow but soon they'll know Their moves are slow but soon you'll know |

His father was a drinker
And his mother cried in bed Folding John Wayne's T-shirts When the swingset hit his head The neighbors they adored him For his humor and his conversation Look underneath the house there Find the few living things Rotting fast in their sleep of the dead Twenty-seven people, even more They were boys with their cars, summer jobs Oh my God Are you one of them? He dressed up like a clown for them With his face paint white and red And on his best behavior In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all He'd kill ten thousand people With a sleight of his hand Running far, running fast to the dead He took off all their clothes for them He put a cloth on their lips Quiet hands, quiet kiss On the mouth And in my best behavior I am really just like him Look beneath the floorboards For the secrets I have hid |

I was getting ready to be a threat
I was getting set for my accidental suicide the kind where no one dies no one looks too surprised then you realize that you're riding on a para-success of a heavy-handed metaphor and a feeling like you've been here before because you've been here before and you've been here before then a word washed ashore a word washed ashore then a word washed ashore sovay, sovay,sovay all along the day I was getting ready to consider my next plan of attack I think I'm gonna sack the whole board of trustees all those Don Quixotes un their B-17s and I swear this time yeah this time they'll blow us back to the 70's and this time they're playin Ride of the Valkyries with no semblance of grace or ease and they're acting on vagaries with their violent proclivities and they're playing ride Ride of the Valkyries sovay,sovay,sovay all along the day |

When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see that you'd been crying Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns But who really profits from the dying I could hold you in my arms I could hold you forever I could hold you in my arms I could hold you in my arms forever When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions It's my worried mind that you quiet Place your hands on my face Close my eyes and say Love is a poor man's food Don't prophesize I could hold you in my arms I could hold you forever And I could hold you in my arms I could hold you forever So now we see how it is This fist begets the spear Weapons of war Symptoms of madness Don't let your eyes refuse to see Don't let your ears refuse to hear Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness I could hold you in my arms I could hold on forever And I could hold you in my arms I could hold forever |
