Heights

Pretend I’m not a coward but a wizened sage
Still clinging to this mountain in a bygone age
You have to scale these frozen cliffs to get to me
If you had just one inquiry, what would it be?
Chorus:
I used to laugh at fear of heights, but now I know
The glory of this splendor gives me vertigo
And where I used to be is now so far below
Remind me how to fly like I did long ago
Forever fell to kiss the ground that loved me so
When all I ever knew was just one way to go
Another fall is deadly with so much at stake
A challenge that I relish and a chance I take
(Chorus)
Bridge:
History to leave behind
Mystery to read my mind
Freedom brings no guarantee
That’s the thrill of levity
Plunge headlong into paradise and dare to see
While riding on the currents of uncertainty
And nothing holds me up, oh gods, what have I done?
But nothing drags me down, fly straight into the sun
(Chorus)
It’s time to rise and stare my demons in the eye
Stretch out my arms, expose my heart, and upward fly
One giant leap of faith and now my lot is cast
Ascend to taste your heartbeat as you hold me fast
(Double chorus)

Some Other Time

Where has the time all gone to?
Haven't done half the things we want to
Oh, well, we'll catch up some other time
This day was just a token
Too many words are still unspoken
Oh, well, we'll catch up some other time
Just when the fun is starting
Comes the time for parting
But let's be glad for what we had and what's to come
There's so much more embracing
Still to be had, but time is racing
Oh, well, we'll catch up some other time

Murder By Numbers

Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess
Chorus:
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Now if you have a taste for this experience
If you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
You'll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore
(Chorus)
But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our greatest killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
