A Tender Blue (feat. John Hackett) - Symbiosis

Holy mother of God You've got to go faster than that to get to the top Dirty old mountain all covered in smoke She can turn you to stone so you better start doing it right Better start doing it right You're halfway up and you're halfway down And the pack on your back is turning you around Throw it away, you won't need it up there And remember, you don't look back whatever you do Better start doing it right On your left and on your right Crosses are green and crosses are blue Your friends didn't make it through Out of the night and out of the dark Into the fire and into the fight Well, that's the way the heroes go HO! HO! HO! Through a crack in Mother Earth Blazing hot, the molten rock Spills out over the land And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away HEY! HEY! HEY! If you don't want to boil as well B-B-Better start the dance D-D-Do you want to dance with me You better start doing it right The music's playing, the notes are right Put your left foot first and move into the light The edge of this hill is the edge of the world And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right Better start doing it right You better start doing it right LET THE DANCE BEGIN!

When the moon hung soft and low, Catchin' stardust in the night You held me closer and closer There was magic in the night A sweet love song, a melody That I still can recall Two young hearts filled with dreams To walk away with it all Whoa, Whoa tender years Won't you wash away my tears How I wish you were here Please don't go, tender years A summer love, a beach romance Sought her kisses in the sand Two young hearts filled with fire Lost in never-never land Whoa, Whoa tender years Won't you wash away my tears How I wish you were here Please don't go tender years (Sax solo) then repeat twice

Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky. I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly. But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die. With ten years to go in the RLI. The Sergeant that signed me up, Had a face like the back of a truck. A tatoo on each knee, And legs like a Mugla tree. And the Medic that did my test, He left me standing in my vest, And then when I didn't see. He stamped me with a TAP. Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky. I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly. But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die. With ten years to go in the RLI.

As you walk away, As we say goodbye; What I wouldn't give, For a tender lie. (CHORUS) Say you'll never stop loving me, Just as if it were true. How much damage now, honestly Could one tender lie do? When we fall so far, Are we wrong to try; To fight off the truth, With a tender lie. Say you're gonna come back to me, And I'll believe that it's true. How much damage now, honestly Could one tender lie do? When we loved before, Do you still deny; Keeping out the truth, With a tender lie? (CHORUS)
