Transcendental
I was trying to think of words for this song
I was thinking as I was walking along
I was trying to find a literary theme
I was trying to find a way to seem deep
But my cupboard of thoughts was bare
I was in a vacuum and I vacantly stared
I had no sense of my environs and space
I couldn't see, hear, smell or taste
But then I heard a scream
I saw a blinding light
I could smell the fear
I could taste the night
I saw waves of dust
I heard metal shear
I could smell gelignite
I could taste the fear
It can't happen but I swear time stood still
It doesn't happen but it all seemed so real
Debris fell like snow in a globe
And then silence roared and then groaned
Like a drone from above I could see
A soap opera scene, and there's me
I'm lying by the side of a girl
We're lying on the edge of two worlds
And then I saw me cough and splutter
Then I saw me kneel beside her
Then I saw me touch her shoulder
Then I saw her move on her side, and
Then I held her hand in my hand
Then we stood and looked around, and
Then we moved our lips and smiled, and
Then we kissed and we disappeared
I heard a clanging bell
I saw a blinding light
Was I in heaven or hell
Was it eternal night
I felt my beating heart
It can't be what it seems
Then I wake with a sudden start
It was just a dream, just a dream
The words of this song
Were written by no-one
They belong to a dream
The girl was never real
So believe it to be true
The somnambulistic muse
Writes the best supernatural runes
And the best transcendental tunes
The best transcendental tunes
The best transcendental tunes
The best transcendental tunes
The best transcendental tunes
I was thinking as I was walking along
I was trying to find a literary theme

And the best transcendental tunes
The best transcendental tunes
The best transcendental tunes
The best transcendental tunes
The best transcendental tunes
