Lyrics

Writing On The Wall

The morning sunlight paints a message on the wall
Written in darkness, sketched in nothing at all
Suggestive shadow, hieroglyphics of the day
I figured they must have something to say
I guess its always been my lot to be
Awash in blatant ambiguity
Joseph interpreting the Pharaoh's dream
With much less certainty

My thoughts throw shadows on the limits of my mind
The seamless garment has begun to unwind
Where my thoughts end and someone else's thoughts begin
Juicy illusions grow nervously thin
Juicy illusions in my nervous hands
Building on vapor building on the sand
Waves run through water waves run through the land
And through the best laid plans

(Chorus)
Oh sweet certainty
Years of famine, years of feast
Smile on all us troubled souls
Watching our confusion grow
We shake we fret we never know
The sweet release of letting go
And find the blend of black and white
That reads the writing, sees the light
Finally hears the music, gets the groove
Stills the ripples, stills the soul
It fills the universe
Let it be so

An angry young man paints a message on the wall
His pain the author of each indistinct scrawl
His crude reminder, bottled message in the noise
I've got an ear I sure hope there's a voice
Juicy illusions in my nervous hands
Building on vapor building on the sand
Waves run through water waves run through the land
And through the best laid plans

(Chorus)

Producer Frank Duncan/Claude Stein
