Andy Tillison - Afterlifecycle lyrics

I. Introduction (Instrumental) II. Dead On A Car Park Floor (Part One) I'm dead on a car park floor But my nerve endings feel no pain Though there's no life in my face or my body There's activity in the brain Sounds of the street outside here Still make it through to my ears And the sounds of distant voices Are the hallmark of my fears Everything I though about has come to pa** (But in its own way) Everything is dead and gone but... ...to other folks it's still another day Everything I thought about! There was nothing I could live without Everything I dreamed about And all my life are ended.. Here... Tonight I'm dead on a car park floor And I can only see the roof No Eye movement to the left or the right Can deny this simple truth No messages from the muscles No more spasms down the spine No reaction to the simple facts Of all that is mine III. Afterlife What? (Part One) The air in here is stifling me The sound of engines fills the air I'm lying, still staring, still.... Watching the roof. (Which stays the same) Touches of panic here and there Voices of a few who seem to care. (Are you all right?) Or are they just frightened? Just people who want to get on home? And the five o clock rush will go on without me As if I never was And here on this floor I'm still waiting.... To be carried away Carried away When I was young I had these dreams Nightmares of cogs in great machines And flowers, rubber stamped, with a ringing sound That I still can't explain..... But as I never got caught in all the wheels Perhaps I was a PART of that device An inconsequential pinion in the structure I called "life" IV. Gears Meshing With Dandelions (Instrumental) V. Dead On A Car Park Floor (Part Two) (Instrumental) VI. Moving Lights In A Tunnel (Instrumental) VII. Afterlife What? (Part Two) Looking out from my concrete grave There's nothing left alive for me to save And all life's intentions are Crowding in and shouting for their time And I'm waiting for the transport to arrive As if somehow it could help me to survive And take me from this world Deliver me to something so much more Just outside here, the gears are still turning As if nothing had changed And here on this floor I'm still waiting..... To be carried away Carried away
