Lyrics

The Redemption



How about some cosmic humor

A strange and karmic joke

Started as a rumor

Of a great galactic hoax

This cannot be happening

I’ve walked between the worlds

There wasn’t any crying

My mind lost in a swirl



CHORUS 1

Taken by a flying saucer

Be easier to explain

Riding on a roller coaster

Ups and downs of my own game

New age magician

Don’t look up my sleeve

Now I have permission

To change what I believe



Here comes another chapter

There goes a second scene

For every aging actor

Whose plot has been knocked clean

But I don’t trust a man

Who hasn’t hit the wall

There is no redemption

Without a tragic fall



CHORUS 2

A naïve native healer

Many souls to save

Stuck here in a jail cell

Treated like a slave

Betrayed and bewildered

Laughter came to me

Maybe just one moment

When it made sense to be



BREAK TO VERSE



CHORUS 1

Taken by a flying saucer

Be easier to explain

Riding on a roller coaster

Ups and downs of my own game

New age magician

Don’t look up my sleeve

Now I have permission

To change what I believe



The gig is almost ending

I might get some sleep

What would truly help my mending

Are your blue eyes so deep

Took a ride out to the country

Hear the sounds of my guitar

The gentle bliss of silence

Friends who are not afar.



BREAK 2



CHORUS 1

Taken by a flying saucer

Be easier to explain

Riding on a roller coaster

Ups and downs of my own game

New age magician

Don’t look up my sleeve

Now I have permission

To change what I believe



This gig finally ended

I got myself some sleep

What truly helped my mending

Was s this music so sleek

Took a ride across the country

I bought a new guitar

My friends are right beside me

Searching for a star
