Lyrics of the new album "PREFACE TO A DREAM"

Kite
(E.J. Geel)

Every time I look at the sky that kite is hanging there
high above the hills that make the only barrier
I looked over someone’s shoulder for something to last
and woke up in a grey and dusty past

chorus:
Kite, fly
Kite, fly, as high as you can, as high as you can.

Don’t look down upon our madness, it will make you sad
millions of eyes that focus on some point ahead
herds of people pushing their way through the streets
the dream laying crushed under our feet

(chorus)

for there’s no way to ever understand this world we live in
fly on, free and easy
to where the mind can still breathe
to where the heart still beats with passion

Kite, fly
Kite, fly

Every time I look the sky that kite is hanging there
it’s there for the joy of man, but no one seems to care
it’s all about how deep we bleed and how high we score
no one seems to want it anymore

(chorus)

Picky me
(E.J. Geel)

Well, you may think you do
but you don’t know who I am
I had my heart broken, but I broke the heart of
at least one man
now there you stand with that strange light in your eyes
so irresistible you make me want to compromise

But I can’t make the same mistake
I made so many times before
maybe we should take some time to think
so we will both be sure

chorus:
For it’s gonna take a lot of love
yes, it’ gonna take a tough boy to meet my needs
and it’s gonna take a lot of heart
it’s gonna take a lot of hard work to meet my needs
but if you want love, good old strong love
the higher love, through-the-fire-love
then try to love
picky me

I just came stumbling out of a troubled past
my faith got shaken, I guess I ran too fast
you’d have to break through a cold wall of pride
to reach my fragile heart
do you think it’s worth the try?

No man is good enough for me, you see
and yet I feel lost without a man
God, I want you desperately
but try to understand

(chorus)

The warmth of your smile
(E.J. Geel)

I don’t know what this is
is it a lasting flame or just some trivial game?
I just know that I miss you
when you’re out of sight, enveloped by the night

and I lay my head on my pillow
with just one thing on my mind
the line of your lips
the soft touch of your fingertips
the warmth of your smile
oh, darling, hang on in there for a while

I don’t know what this means
should I make it stay or let it fly away?

I just fear that these dreams
are bound to hurt me more than I’ve ever been hurt before

and while I sip my morning tea
you’re still here with me
the joy on your face
the sweet pain of your strong embrace
the warmth of your smile
oh darling hang on in there for a while

Maybe it’s all just my imagination
maybe it’s all for real
now I don’t know what to make of it
but I know what I feel

oh I
you know I love you more
than I’ve ever loved before

Rush
(E.J. Geel)

Every time I close my eyes
I see you, I feel you, I know you and I
were driven out of paradise
and driven into separate lives

But we’ve got a place
in time and space
the only thing we have to do
is push on through

chorus:
Oh, rush now, slide
ride that storm
come on and get me now, cowboy
Rush now, slide
ride that storm
come on and get me, cowboy

Won’t you let me
be the lost and wandering soul
loose from the herd, out of the light
baby, I can’t bear the cold
it chills me, it may kill me tonight

I know our love
will shift the stars above
I can hardly wait for you to be
up there with me

(chorus)

When you halt for a drink
Beneath the neon lights
with the other lonesome travelers
In the heart of the night

Keep this thought in mind
So you won’t fall asleep at the wheel
Think of what you’ll have once you get here
Think of what you’ll feel

(chorus)

Blind Kiss
(E.J. Geel)

I must have known
the unexpected break in time
would bring it all on

on a cold rainy night
a perfect night for memories
to revive

A blind kiss from a long lost friend
and while he talks the only thing I understand
is that it’s late
damn late, I’d better go
yes, it’s way, way too late for changes,
I know

The light in your hair
a timid smile on lips afraid to declare
we were born with age-old pride
and stubbornness that won’t recede
nor subside

Your blind kiss has made me see
I’ve lived my life so carelessly
but now it’s late, damn late, I’d better go
yes, it’s way, way too late for changes
I know

Your blind kiss has made me see
and I’m downright upset about what you still mean to me
but it’s late
damn late, I’d better go
it may be late for changes, but it’s never too late to love

Preface to a dream
(E.J. Geel)

For you I’ll build another dream
so we will have a place to come to
for you I’ll paint the walls of green
and write a million sweet I love you’s on them
for you I made another promise to myself
that I’ll never leave another dream abandoned on the shelf

For you, the one who drew the line
thinking we would never cross it
but what we had is still alive,
survived the times, we never lost it
for you I’ll climb another ladder to the moon
and smile as I float back into space again

chorus:
For you
I turned my head around and the world went crazy
for you I whispered in the wind and it caused storm
for you I’d rewind my life back to where I left you, baby, for you
for you

Now that we are here
beyond the guards, it’s easy
once the sun will rise
we’ll look into each other’s eyes and breathe

For you I’ll build another dream
upon the pieces of the story
I’ll fill the rooms with songs
that echoe out in every corner
and I’ll lie there listening to the music
of your footsteps in the hall
and smile as a fall asleep without you, babe

(chorus)

Come and carry me away
(E.J. Geel)

Dark blue and crimson red
these are the colors that I used to paint my bed
gold leaf and sienna brown
shine in your eyes as you drive into town

Come and carry me away upon your love
‘cause I need you
and I’d fall out of my frame without you
yes, I need you
to hold me

Tight, tonight
fearless, until the cold morning light
will strip us of those heavy veils
and we can close the book of fairy tales

Come and carry me away upon your love
‘cause I need you
and I’d fall out of this world without you
yes, I need you
to hold me, tight, yeah

Incense- ashes on the floor
the only thing that can break the silence
will be the knock on my door
this burning desire will set this house on fire
oh I can’t wait any more

Come and carry me away upon your love
‘cause I need you
and I’d fall out of myself without you
yes, I need you
to hold me

Thirty-eight Special
(E.J. Geel)

Birthday number 38
it means as much to me as a hair lock out of place but
I’ve invited everyone to see
that I’m as smart as I look,
the dress may be a little tight but the lipstick’s right
for kisses and philosophy

What’s the surprise you have in mind?
A porcelain dog, a box of incense sticks
or a necklace with a heart of stone?
Will you just bring in the air from outside?
Don’t bring anything, bring even less, if you like but
please try to be alone, or

Will you bring your
new lover on my birthday?
You’ll bring your new lover on my birthday.
Don’t bring your new lover on my birthday
for I might not survive, I honestly confess
the sight of
you and her in the bliss of dreariness

You will drag her in by her
willing little hand, and she’ll gaze around the room with innocent eyes
and then you’ll whisper something explicit in her ear
Later on tonight, she’ll be asleep on the couch
and you will join me in the kitchen and
that’s when I’ll ruin the atmosphere

By saying exactly what I think, when you ask me what I think of her,
I’ll say she’s a pretty girl,
but she’s a damn meager trade
and you’ll defend her with the fierceness of those who are in love
and can’t tell a real diamond from a fake
oh, don’t make that silly move

of bringing your new lover on my birth-day
you’ll bring your new lover on my birthday
don’t bring your new lover on my birthday
I might not survive, I reluctantly confess
the sight of you and her in the bliss of happiness

So she’s supposed to be the ideal girl
who’s always in for anything you want
never opposing to you boring plans
without opinions of her own, oh..
You’ll bring your new lover on my birthday
You’ll bring your new lover on my birthday.
Don’t bring your new lover on my birthday
for I might not survive, I honestly confess
the sight of you and her in the bliss of dreariness

Safe is not to say a word
(E.J. Geel)

Don’t worry about me, it’s nothing
I’m just myself and I can’t help it
What people say doesn’t matter to me
For they only judge by what they see
And they don’t even see

A little beneath the surface
Well, if they would they’d see a likeness
We’re all so afraid to come down from our throne
And yet so afraid to be alone

chorus:
Safe is not to say a word
That way you won’t say a lie
Safer is to say that it is all absurd
That I should laugh instead of cry

Oh, don’t worry ‘bout me, It’s nothing
It’s just a phase, and I’ll break out of it
But should I deny what I truly feel?
It’s just too much to conceal
A chance for me to be real

(chorus)

Oh, don’t worry ‘bout me, It’s nothing
I’m just a fool and ain’t that something
Soon you’ll become a remote little star
But until you are
Here’s where I am: in trouble,
but you see
That’s me

A truly noble cause
(E.J. Geel)

Look, this is the hand
a lobed leaf on a strange plant
the hand that brushed away the fear
now darts through my head

The hand that holds the wheel
turns the key, somehow seems frail
in the light of the fridge
yet it’s stronger than ever

This is the hand
it lies next to yours, my friend
infinitely tempted, always in control

I sealed the yawning depth
pulled the zipper up to my chin
taped off my mouth and eyes and ears
no out, no in

So this is how brave we are
the war in my head and your terrified eye
on the bulk of my desire that stands against the sky
like a bastion

This is the hand
it fits in yours, my friend
keeping it away from you
I’m acting merely in defense
of a truly noble cause

Now look, this is my hand
a withered leaf on a wild plant
the hand that used to hesitate
now darts through my head

The hand that holds the brush
strums the strings, pumps gas,
breaks the wall of glass
is more determined than ever

This is the hand
it’s similar to yours, my friend
infinitely tempted, always in control

I have just been crushed
and my dress sits here without me
we look away and hush
for we can do without ourselves,
we can do without ourselves, can’t we?

This is the hand
it fits in yours, my friend
keeping it away from you
I’m acting merely in defense
of a truly noble cause

Shine on, little lights
(E.J. Geel)

Countless little lights
line the runway of this sad goodbye
like eyes that glimmer with affection
in the darkness below.

Oh, those little lights
may they lead me to the other side
of the earth, where the sun is of a blazing gold

And yet God only knows what I’ll find there
will I be the star of the show
or fall into decline there?

Shine on, little lights
drive my consciousness to greater heights
so I won’t look down
and just fly on high

* LYRICS FROM "SO COOL"

So cool
(E.J. Geel)

Baby, you’re bad, so bad
I must have gone mad
to let you into my head
I’m just a part of
a long and slow parade
you’ll focus on me now,
until I fade...
For baby, you are so young
I tried to be strong
and resist temptation
but you’re just so cool
you’re nobody’s fool
and you make no point of it, no
you’re still such a, such a kid
We’re so good together, why should I let you go?
What does it matter, I know
that you are young, too young, I know,
it must be wrong
but I think I love you
What you’re doing to me
you do it so naturally
running into you
was meant to be
Baby, you are so young
when you make love
you keep your glasses on
just to look cool
you’re so vain, baby
but I make no point of it, no
you’re still such a kid
you’re just cool, cool
you could have been my son.

All dreams flow to the sea
(E.J. Geel)

It wasn’t hard to find you on the internet
I just wrote your name and there you were
I thought you had gone lost
but it was me, who was lost in the memory
You can surely be proud of what’s become of you
I wouldn’t know what to say about myself
I have always been, oh, a master in
such matters as dreams left on the shelf
and people still can’t tell
when I hand them my smart little business-card
whether I’m head-down into art
or hopelessly lost

It’s good to see you on the internet
your sweet face almost filled the screen
Now I remember I’ve seen that face before
on some billboard or slide door.
While I was struggling out here with greens
to paint my rural scenes
you were struggling your way across New York
While I worked my way, oh, through piles of hay
I must have thrown more than one chance away
but I’ve got no regrets
and I’m always glad to come up
to this abbandoned shack, and be hopelessly

Lost in dreams
couldn’t think of any better way
to lead my mind astray
you can either row upstream
or drift on downstream
all dreams flow to the sea

Now do you think that there’s a chance that we will ever be
lovers again
if you won’t answer my mail I will understand
you had me on my knees, once,
you, cuff-links of silver
it hit me so bad
and I have never loved again
the way I loved you then
and the dream is still alive today
but I think I’m just gonna keep it that way
for it feels so good to stay
hopelessly
Lost in dreams.......

Simply divine
(E.J. Geel)

She’s not like me
she’s different
she’s got long, black lashes
over deep blue eyes
she’s the bell in the hotel hall
she’s the song in the shopping mall
she’s pretty, she’s smart, she’s the no-nuisance kind
now I see why all the guys go blind
‘ cause she’s simply divine

She’s not like me
she’s harmony
every move she makes has a place
in space
when she whispers one single word
no other sound in the room is heard
and noone dares to rise
they all stare, struck by surprise
and shine, she’s simply divine

She’s not like me
she’s different
she wouldn’t waste her energy
on jealousy
she amuses him, she thinks I don’t know
that she abuses him, should I tell her so?
Oh, I hope I will keep my big mouth shut
and not call out:
“ you spoiled little man-devouring slut”,
‘ cause she’s simply
yes, she’s simply
oh, she’s simply
divine.

Blind kiss
(E.J. Geel)

I must have known
the unexpected break in time
would bring it all on
on a cold rainy night
a perfect night for memories
to revive

A blind kiss from a long lost friend
and while he talks the only thing I understand
is that it’s late
damn late, I’d better go
Yes, it’s way, way too late
for changes, I know

The light in your hair
a timid smile on lips
afraid to declare
We were born with age old pride
and stubbornness that won’t recede
nor subside

Your blind kiss
has made me see
I’ve lived my life so carelessly
But now it’s late, damn late,
I’d better go
Yes, it’s way, way too late for changes
I know

Your blind kiss has made me see
and I’m downright upset about
what you still mean to me
But it’s late, damn late,
I’d better go
it may be late for changes,
but it’s never too late
to love

A man of my own
(E.J. Geel)

Help me with the zipper of my dress
I find it kinda tricky, I confess
Here’s a new opportunity to express
your full male potential, yes

Help me with the trouble on my car
I love the smiling handyman you are
get your tools out into the street
your full male potential is what I need

I want a man of my own
I can’t stand to be alone
I need a lover and a friend
but most of all
I want a man of my own
I can’t stand to be alone
I need a lover and a friend
but most of all
I need a helping hand

Now help me pick a colour for my hair
tell me, which lipstick should I wear
prune, rose, or cinnamon delight?
Your full male potential applies tonight

now keep your muscle tone up,
and you’ll keep me satisfied
keep an eye on the world for me, baby
so you will always know what’s right

I want a man of my own...

You'll do allright (by tonight)
(E.J. Geel)

By this time your train rolls into central station
by this time you'll notice I'm not there
have I ever been unfair?
I left you with an empty stare
well, as a devil I may lack the experience
but that sweet angel's gone and won't return

I figure by this time you try to call me
but I turned my cellphone off
have I ever been so rough
deprived a man of tender love
well, I'm an artist
maybe somewhat excentric
but my observant eye is seeing clear
that's why I see, dear...

That you'll do allright by tonight
you'll have your life to yourself and feel satisfied
you'll talk to your friends about us
they'll say:"Making up, boy, is not worth the fuss".
You'll do allright and sleep tight
you'll have the bed to yourself and sleep all through the night
You'll feel a little pain, just a little bit
till you shake it off, and that's it, oh

By this time you're on your way to our appartment
by this time you slowly turn the key
have I ever felt so free
by hitting one so savagely
oh, but am I precious
now that you miss me
now that I'm on my way to someone new
but I know that you...

You'll do allright...

Montezuma Street
(E.J. Geel)

She wore tight blue jeans and cowboy boots
Her faded jacket was a souvenir from Hollywood
She stood high above worldly matters
She was a supernatural entity
She called her motorbike "humanity".

The sky stood high over the red mountain range
it was 1975 and life was a wide open plain
He had just arrived from New York City
he was looking for a place to crash
She said, hop on,
I'll take you where it's all goin' on

Hold on, here comes that thunder ignition
just come with me
to Montezuma street
She said oh, no inhibitions
kisses are sweet
on Montezuma Street
Hop on that hot leather seat

Some eastcoast snowbirds had a winter residence
that she had rented for the summer to hang out with her friends
There were lots of people on a crazy party
that was bound to continue for days to come
They smoked and drank right until the break of dawn

He woke up in the empty pool with art in his hair
The smell of burnt juniper filled the cool morning air
She lay beside him in a distant dream
they had been lovers in paradise
but when she woke up, she had turned as cold as ice

She said hold on, here comes that thunder ignition
your heart won't bleed
on Montezuma Street
She said, oh, no sentimentalisms,
memories are sweet
on Montezuma Street
get on that a hot leather seat
Montezuma Street
get on that hot leather seat

Love me or love me not
(E.J. Geel)

I don't know if I can take this
a sign I should break out of this
is it some kind of spell, my secret prayer
my deepest desire or mere despair?

Oh, have you come here to lift me up
have you come here to bring me down
have you come here to lift me up
have you come here to suck me out
have you come here to love me right?
I know my song, that's why

I don't know if I can take this
it's gonna take a miracle to fake this
but when there's simply nothing two people share
will he be alarmed, or even be aware

Oh, have you come here to lift me up
have you come here to lift my little tired wings
and show me something that's up above
Is it your so-called love?
Have you come here to lift me up, me up
and to literally suck me out
have you come here to love me or love me not?

I don't know if I can take this
there's not a sound around to break this
silence of smiles so sincere
once he'll learn about us , baby,
they will disappear

Oh, have you come here to lift me up...

Loneliness ( the black door)
(E.J. Geel)

Why don't you live your life, my friend
Can't you hear what I say
Life's too short, evaporates
and tomorrow's yesterday

I see that frozen face of yours
reflected on a screen
you're lost in the subworld
like everybody else, in a digital dream

Loneliness
I said loneliness
loneliness sneaks in through the up-door
Oh oh the black door

Why don't you live your life, my friend
your pores cry out for air
you don't remember how to breathe
but you don't seem to care

while you play around like a child
in that colourful land of beeps
a woman in the next room
cries herself to sleep

Don't you know that
loneliness
I said loneliness
loneliness sneaks in through the up-door
oh oh the black door

If it's true what they say about me
(E.J. Geel)

If it's true what they say about me
I suck
If it's true what they whisper about me
I'll need a lot of luck

If it's true what the jury has stated
I'll fall
The rest of the story is painted
on the courtroom wall

Come on, come on
don't let it trouble your mind or interfere with your routine
Come on, come on
I'm just another woman drowning in charm

If it's true what they say about me
than who am I?
If it's true what they whisper about me
I'll need an alibi

If it's true that I'm morally savage
Well, than so it be
I found a safe little refuge
here in my fantasy

Come on, come on
don't let it trouble your mind or interfere with your routine
Come on, come on
I'm just another woman drowning in charm

Oh I live my life
in this quiet little stream
with not much to do
but to dream my quiet little dreams
all I ask is to be among the words
that fall from the lips that prepare for a kiss

If it's true what they say about me
then what have I become?
I followed a wonderful dream
towards a bleeding sun
now where is that ship on the ocean
of tragedy and sin
where is that line of marines
to make me a heroine?

Come on, come on
don't let it trouble your mind or interfere with your routine
Come on, come on
I'm just another woman drowning in charm

Oh I live my life
in this quiet little stream
with not much to do
but to dream my quiet little dreams
all I ask is to be among the words
that fall from the lips that I search
among the crowd flowing into the church
to cherish the truth in my heart

Come and carry me away
(E.J. Geel)

Dark blue and crimson red
These are the colors that I used to paint my bed
Gold leaf and sienna brown
shine in your eyes as you drive into town

Come and carry me away upon your love
'cause I need you
and I'd fall out of myself without you
yes, I need you
to hold me

Tight, tonight
fearless, until the cold morning light
will strip us of those heavy veils
and we can close the book of fairy-tales

Come and carry me away upon your love
'cause I need you
and I'd fall out of my frame without you
yes, I need you
to hold me, tight, yeh

Incense- ashes on the floor
the only thing that can break the silence
will be the knock on my door
This burning desire will set this house on fire
oh I can't take any more

Come and carry me away
'cause I need you
and I'd fall out of this world without you
yes, I need you
to hold me, tight, yeh
