 Since Levitation never printed any lyric sheets, we have taken it upon ourselves to provide creative reinterpretations for your information and probable amusement. If you want to contribute your own interpretations or correct or complete someone else's, then feel free to mail me. I have put the name of the relevant interpreter beneath each set of lyrics... I resisted the temptation to alter them to how I hear them as I am just as likely to be wrong than anyone else. Hopefully we may be able to get hold of some official type versions in the near future, keep your fingers crossed!



Firefly

today
you're my sunrise child no one else is
don't stir your ?????
you're the apple of my skies
you're my sunrise child

recieve your alms
uncle sam's coming home
looking after ever
looking after ever

grasp the interplay
what a genius sense of timing
feel the energy

we're looking after ever
recieve your alms
uncle sam's coming home
we know we're looking after ever
we know we're looking after her
we know we're looking after ever

go on and find a school if you're homeless
go on and find some books if you're freezing
knowledge is the best thing that you have

Against Nature

a crime against nature
why can't you see
we're living in torment
we've got to break free

I can't take another attack I'm worn out
I can't take another attack I'm worn out
there is an answer but I've yet to find out where
there is an answer but I've yet to find out where
there is an answer

heaven not hell
take the soul where the blissful fly
where reason and nature also dream
heaven not hell
take the soul where the blissful fly
and bring it all back

my back to the future
so help me decide
behind and before me
it's just out of sight
it's just out of sight
there is an answer but I've yet to find out where

heaven not hell
take the soul where the blissful fly
where reason and nature also dream
heaven not hell
take the soul where the blissful fly
and bring it all back

there is an answer

Pieces of Mary

pieces of Mary
are coming alive
children tell Mary they're taught to take lives
not to recoil when the failure arrives
head over heels they divide
to despise
what to despise

ours was the last ??????????????

a chant in an attic
makes me want to to ascend
part of the house
home of a friend

pieces of Mary
are coming alive
children tell Mary they're taught to take lives
not to recoil when the failure arrives
head over heels

ours was the last ??????????????
to mother of youth
of tomorrow

must we cover ourselves with lies

pieces of Mary
are coming alive
children tell Mary they're taught to take lives
taught to take lives

all you ever know
all you ever need

STEPHEN GRAHAM
Embedded

the doors I used to hide behind
seem very small
the miles of maze I ran
it was not miles at all
you dig the ground and kick the dirt
on yourself

???

forever
embedded

the safety of a child
is what we're clinging to
and while that still appeals
we've got more things to do

forever
embedded

the doors I used to hide behind
seem very small

forever
embedded

      Arcs of Light and Dew

here and unique..
the ordinary speaking heart
all may
without grief
without fear
without rage
without age...

tension sway to the tender garden play...
and all i see..
all arcs of light and dew

theres still this figure..
she's always there..
without grief..
without fear
without rage
without

tension sway...
even form lost in the wake..
and all i see

all i see
arcs of light and dew
all i see

here come the meek...
the ordinary speaking hearts
all may
without grief
without fear
i don't think
without grief

without

and all i see..
arcs of light and dew..
all i see

all i see

BRIAN E. STEELE

here and unique
the ordinary speaking hearts
are made
without grief
without fear
without rage
without age

tensions wane
to the tender garden rain
and all I see
are arcs of light and dew

there's still this figure
she's always there
without grief
without fear
without rage
without age

tensions wane
ebb and foam lost in the wake
and all I see

here and unique
the ordinary speaking hearts
are made
without grief
without fear
without rage
at our feet
without grief
without
without

and all I see
are arcs of light and dew
all I see

Bedlam

you're alone
there's a yellow shine
close your eyes
close your eyes
yours your own
and anything you find fill your mind
fill your mind
don't question everything

you're a flood
that washes everything through your soul
come and sing
without hope
and without fire within the sky ????
so key in
don't question everything

you're unsure
of what this comes to mean
make a scream make a scream
for your soul
of words that take a shot and nothing more
these words won't stop
don't question everything

you're in awe
of anything that dies
break your time
break your time
and for long
to walk upon a hill
???????
don't question everything

feeling poor
and feeling that you've earned the night to find
don't fool your mind
and there's awe
and there is nothing more than awe
than awe than awe
don't question everything

STEPHEN GRAHAM
Even When Your Eyes Are Open

there are lines around the world
they call the birds across the sea
instead of waiting for the word to come
before the thinking starts
because they know it's where they want to be

it's all the same if you ask me
it's just like the way you breathe the air
that you can't see
you don't think about it
it's all the same if you ask me
it's just like the way you need the air
that you can't see
you don't think about it

bigger eyes make the world seem small
they show you all you need to see
uncovered as the time arrives again
the seeds are faling now
and if they're lucky they might make a tree

it's all the same if you ask me
it's just like the way you breathe the air
that you can't see
you don't think about it
it's all the same if you ask me
it's just like the way you need the air
that you can't see
you don't think about it

even when your eyes are open

STEPHEN GRAHAM


Resist

raining on the soul it spun
the web of madness on my skin
expression's led me to a place
was not the world I'd intended to be in
sometimes I feel like everyone knows

people believe in your life

and which we are the faces ask
they conquer me through sentences past
sometimes I feel like everyone knows

you'll find time

people believe in our lies
people believe in our lives
people believe in our life
