Crystal Ship:
USING VINTAGE TECHNOLOGY, ALL SONGS WE'RE RECORDED TO ANALOG TAPE...
"I love fan feedback..."


Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss Another kiss, another kiss
The days are bright and filled with pain Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane We'll meet again, we'll meet again
Oh tell me where your freedom lies The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly
The crystal ship is being filled A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time When we get back, I'll drop a line

It conveys all the memories and smells and tastes of that period for me. It takes me right back to all the mystical feelings that were in the air that year."
