about

NO. This is NOT an hommage to Judy Garland or The Wizard of Oz.

lyrics

OVER THE RAINBOW

You've tried to pry one finger at a time,
But the grip of shame is resolute.
No one's chasing behind you to stamp out your brush fires.
I can see in your wake the ashes of ambition.
You thought that drugs were your salvation.
You spiked your will with a poison needle.

You don't believe, not for a moment
In a place called home (somewhere) over the rainbow.

It's the same old dream, but it's not a dream.
You're running for your life, but you're light as a feather.
Specks of dust suspended in the atmosphere of Mars
Are a metaphor for the alien stillness you feel.
Here's your chance- catch the day's first sunbeams.
Watch the dance and play of light and colors.

You don't believe, not for a moment
In a place called home (somewhere) over the rainbow.

You've been cut before by the glassy shards
Of shattered hopes and jagged misfortune.
We're specks of dust suspended in air.
Suspended in air........
