When Gabriel Turns
A crash in the valley brought me out of my dreams
An unclear recollection and a memory that seems
To be carved on the sky and to float on the sea
But when rhetoric ends in a silent decree
And the alphabet groans with the force of the G
Then Gabriel turns on me
The softest caress of my partner in crime
Explains to the furtherest limits of mime
That there is no answer and there is no key
The deserts are barren, and all history
Is lost when a pipe falls and shatters its knee
As Gabriel turns on me
My 8:30 cocktail is stuck to the glass
And hoping to heaven this moment will pass
But all is discovered, it cannot break free
It's taken outside and nailed to a tree
He leaves it suspended for morning to see
Then Gabriel turns on me
This power-crazed fool with his magnetic hands
Has cast his decisions across the white sands
But bending and breaking they fight to return
Return from the fires where forever they burn
Their choices are few, they never will learn
'Til they see Gabriel turn
Oh, listen you fool, pay heed to the words
They'll flap and they'll fly like so many birds
They'll squeak and they'll squirm as perception degrades
To explode in your eyes like a hundred grenades
This treacherous torment of constant charades
Wherever the firelight fades
Then there is no I, only pure irony
When Gabriel turns on me
An unclear recollection and a memory that seems
To be carved on the sky and to float on the sea
But when rhetoric ends in a silent decree
And the alphabet groans with the force of the G
Then Gabriel turns on me
The softest caress of my partner in crime
Explains to the furtherest limits of mime
That there is no answer and there is no key
The deserts are barren, and all history
Is lost when a pipe falls and shatters its knee
As Gabriel turns on me
My 8:30 cocktail is stuck to the glass
And hoping to heaven this moment will pass
But all is discovered, it cannot break free
It's taken outside and nailed to a tree
He leaves it suspended for morning to see
Then Gabriel turns on me
This power-crazed fool with his magnetic hands
Has cast his decisions across the white sands
But bending and breaking they fight to return
Return from the fires where forever they burn
Their choices are few, they never will learn
'Til they see Gabriel turn
Oh, listen you fool, pay heed to the words
They'll flap and they'll fly like so many birds
They'll squeak and they'll squirm as perception degrades
To explode in your eyes like a hundred grenades
This treacherous torment of constant charades
Wherever the firelight fades
Then there is no I, only pure irony
When Gabriel turns on me
