Layla
And he's wondering if he's able
To pick the number right this time
He watches as the wheel stops spinning
Sees the number that is winning
As he reaches for his glass of wine
Once he starts it's hard to stop
He's keepin'up a pace like a tight wound clock
Be sure you don't step in his way
He'll keep those numbers rolling
This may be his last day.
As all the bets are taken
Aldo lights a smoke, he's shakin'
From carnation right to the ground
He knows tonight holds one last chance
'n gives the wheel a final glance
Slippery
Sphynx
surpassed celestial gates of light
I left the worldly spheres behind
into atmospheres unknow
to the planet of silence
ancient tales have told
of sphinx on his throne
create an aura unique
his superior mind doesn't need
space or time
pass through rooms of now and past
and leave the future way behind
move through dimensions unexplained palace of eternity
Wisdom's books I search
in these temples of sphynx
pyramids of peace meaningless time
no such thing as time
quetly trace him slowly
and finally I confront him
he silently gazes with a piercing look
I'm overpowered, and struck by anxiety
his charisma enlightns me
his eyes tell tales I couldn't see
sphinx is superior to my fate
he motions me, though no word is said
one last glance he turns away and he spreads his wings
slowly rising soars up to the heights
the brightest star yet seen comes into sight
ancient tales have told of sphinx on his throne
create an aura unique his superior mind
doesn't need space or time
