lyrics
_________________________________________________
You Never Know
- Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide
So you left that crazy man for someone that you could stand. And
you waved it everywhere like a flag in every hand. Were you so righteous? Were you so sincere and true? Or did you always twist the light just so to focus back on you. How could you know everything about someone you never knew. When will you grow up? You never know. You never know.
So you left that coast behind to try the other side. And all those people way back there became the scorn of your own pride. Are you the only one who has vision for the truth? Do you regard yourself so highly, eye for eye and tooth for tooth? How could you know everything about someone you never knew. When will you grow up? You never know. You never know.
Judge yourself before you ease into your throne. If advice is so damn nice maybe you’ll take some of your own. Think to tread lightly where you should not go. Or maybe not at all. Just think, you never know. You never know.

The Road To Bethlehem
- Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide
I looked here and I looked there
For the road to Bethlehem
I walked far and I walked near
Down the road to Bethlehem
I saw a sign on the way
Looked like a fire in my eye
But the truth lay in vain
On some hill I couldn't climb
I saw an angel from afar
Measuring those stars
But she could not tell the difference
Between wounds and battle scars
With no words to wish me well
I saw a crater fall to Earth
And the hole open to Hell
Marked the image of my birth
I looked here and I looked there
For the road to Bethlehem
I walked far and I walked near
Down the road to Bethlehem
Know I'm thankful for my time
And the road I've grown to know
My true passing I won't mind
Nor will you how well I know
I looked here and I looked there
For the road to Bethlehem
I walked far and I walked near
Down the road to Bethlehem

David Elias recommends:
-
Intricate, exacting, sonically meticulous, extemporary in all its planning, takes you into a room then into a field then into the void.

Because of a Flower
by Ana RoxanneBought the vinyl. Spectacular use of sound with some insane vocal tracks overhead.
go to album -
Start at the end and play it backwards. Or forwards. Sideways either way. Squarely unsquare and rapidly descending. Captured.
