When you're alone,
and your boyfriend has left you,
You can always watch
Downton
When your boss is a jerk,
and they all hate you at work,
it seems to help, I know
Downton
Just get yourself some zinfandel
and grab a box of tissues
A healthy dose of fantasy,
denial of life's issues
Will carry you through
The gaslight's much brighter there,
you can forget all your troubles,
forget all your cares
And go to Downton
Things'll be great
when you're at Downton
No finer house, for sure
Downton
Everyone's waiting on you
Downton (Downton)
Downton (Downton)
So go hang around,
and let their problems surround you,
you’ll feel better, I know
Downton
Your life it may stink,
but that's all gone in a blink
Their lives will pull you in
Downton
'Cause Lady Mary's scandal
won't affect her life with Matthew
And Mr. Bates and Anna
will be happy ever after
Happy again
The gaslight's much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
Forget all your cares
And go to Downton
Things'll be great when you're at Downton
No finer house, for sure
Downton
Everyone's waiting on you
Downton
Downton (Downton)
[Instrumental]
And don't you read the spoilers
or you'll find your heart is broken
The first rule of the Abbey
is some things are never spoken
Never again
So I know I'll see you there
You can forget all your troubles,
forget all your cares
And go to Downton
Things'll be great when you're at Downton
No finer house, for sure
Downton
Everyone's waiting on you
Downton (Downton)
Downton (Downton)
Downton (Downton) [fading out]

Babylon Dreams
03:27

|
Stars shining all around you,
Psi Corps appears and whispers they’ve found you.
Sun rising over Epsilon 3,
Dream a little dream of me.
Earth Forcers and Minbari
Live here with Drazi and the Centauri.
While Vorlons speak mysteriously,
Dream a little dream of me.
Narn was beaten, but they linger on dear
And still they resist.
They’re hoping that they can keep fighting
Those Centauri fists.
Sweet dreams 'til Rangers find you,
Sweet dreams that leave the jumpgate behind you
But when those spoo sigh, sad as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.
[Instrumental]
They called me “the last Babylon”, dear
In deep space I twist
Third Age is beginning to dawn, dear
So I say this:
“Sweet dreams 'til Shadows find you,
Sweet dreams that leave those battles far behind you.
And in those dreams, your destiny see
Dream a little dream of me.”

Homecoming
06:51

My mother looks into the sky, I think she hears him coming
but the stars are blinding her so she cannot see
"Help me keep him home this time," she says to me.
"He's coming home."
My father walks into the house, we laugh in his embrace
The scent of fire and stardust cling to his hands and face
Already we are wondering how long
Will he stay this time?
CHORUS:
I hear the stars, they are calling tonight
Listen, can't you hear them?
I hear the stars, they are calling tonight
Calling me home
Calling me home.
He takes us to the carnival and swimming in the ocean
We picnic in the mountains, our faces to the sun
Each moment is a gift I take with me
A memory.
My father sits beside me, his laughter ringing true
"What's it like in space?" I ask as I always do
His eyes grow distant and he smiles, but mom...
she looks away.
BRIDGE:
Before my father leaves, he takes me aside
He says, "The next I come back, I won't be leaving
Tell your mother that I love you both and I am
coming home."
CHORUS
In the fading sunset, the message comes next day
His ship fell into the sun, a blaze of gold and gray
I try to tell Mom but she turns away...
and goes inside.
My mother looks into the sky, I think she hears him coming
but the stars are blinding her so she cannot see
The winds are cold, I hear them whisper to me
"He's coming home."

Sing me a song of a world that is gone
Say could that world be mine
Ages ago here lived proud Kataan
"Make now the most precious time."
Boil and freeze, oceans and seas
Strengthening rays of sun,
All that was good, all we held dear
Ressik our home is gone
Sing me a song of a captain that’s gone
Jean-Luc, please stay a while
The life you will live shall tell them a tale
Of death that we’d dare defy
[Instrumental]
Play me a song of a man who is gone,
Kamin, his family’s heart
Ressik will live within and live on, and
they’ll have found life again

Jewel in the Night
03:49

So bright, Jewel in the Night,
there in my window below
So bright, dark as the night,
with all of our cities aglow
It’s long been our way,
to honor this day,
And offer goodwill to men.
And know, wherever we go,
it’s come ‘round to Christmas again
So far, shines every star,
there without limit to see
So grand, faraway land,
beckoning, calling to me
And let it be shown,
wherever we go,
In all of the wonders above
With all that we bring,
there’s no finer thing
Than this message, this promise of love
Love for the families that gather below
Love for the stranger that you’ll never know
For those who aren’t with you,
Who wander above
[Instrumental]
So bright, Jewel in the Night,
there lies the cradle we knew
Home of all that we love,
and all of our memories too
It shall be our way to wander away,
to take with us all that we know,
And never cease the message of peace,
from Bethlehem so long ago.

The legend lives on from Europa on down
To Phobos and Syria Planum
The belt it is said never gives up its dead
From the cold, hard embrace of the vacuum
With an orbiter fair twenty-two hundred pounds bare
Went the fine hearty Martian Observer
That good probe and true was a bone to be chewed
When the "Great Martian Ghoul" came to claim'er
The probe was the pride of the American side
With a line item budget from NASA
As Mars probes go, she was bigger than most
And her flight crew all were well seasoned
With a boost from below she left LEO
On a Hohmann orbit trajectory
But somewhere inside was a fuel valve that died
And put a seal on her fate in the ending
10 months and more on her orbital chore
Went the gallant Martian Observer
But the day she prepared to burn red Martian air
Was the day that her thrusters would fail her
Her engines were up and were ready to go
But the fuel lines they were all leaking
And that hydrogen gas it went up with a flash
The exothermic reactions were reeling
With all her might, she tried to turn right
But her hydrazine storage was venting
And then her main dish was turned against her wish
Into deep space where no one was listening
The Red Planet drew near and she shed bitter tears
for the mission that never would happen
And she flew quietly by in the grip of the night
All the while with her batteries flattened
Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When you find yourself slowly fading
Days, months, and years, all your hopes and your fears
Are tight beamed off to Alpha Centauri
But such is the lot of a space probe robot
To go where no man has gone before her
And had she the spin, she'd have said with a grin
"Mission Control, it was nice to have known ya."
Demos it tumbles and Phobos it races
and the Trojans they all lay quiet
Jupiter seems to hold biologist’s dreams
And Pluto, we’ve finally seen it
Closer to home, Chinese rovers that roam
Under an Indian lunar observer
And the Mars probes still go with their ground crews below
And their metric conversions remembered
On a black granite stand on a Florida strand
Lies the American space heroes’ mirror
NASA’s engraved each of 24 names
But all the lost space probes are absent
The legend lives on from Europa on down
To Phobos and Syria Planum
The belt it is said never gives up its dead
Nor the wreck of the Martian Observer

‘phelia, I'm breaking your heart
I'm breaking your sanity daily
Oh Ophelia, you're down on your knees
You're begging me please to come home
‘phelia, I'm breaking your heart
Get thee to a nunnery, baby
Oh Ophelia, you're down on your knees
You're begging me please to come home
Come on home
Playin' mind games after noon, with
Ophelia, down in my great room (playin’ games all day)
Exit stage right to plan my todo
When I come back you’re singin’ ‘bout rosemary and rue
‘phelia, I'm breaking your heart
I'm breaking your sanity daily
Oh Ophelia, you're down on your knees
You're begging me please to come home
Come on home
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh ohhh
[Instrumental]
Inundation, she's done it again
She’s jumped in the river, she’s drowning
Asphyxiation, she's dead and she's gone
“Sweets to the sweet”. Oh, Mom, really?
Oh oh ohhhh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh ohhh
Oh oh ohhhh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh ohhh

Baker Street

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Fresh from the fight and dead on your feet
Well, you’re looking for a place, a chance to leave the race
And forget about everything
Back from the desert and you feel so cold
Wounded in body, mind and soul
It hasn’t taken you long, to find out you were wrong
When you’d sorted out everything
You used to think that it was so easy
Saving lives was always so easy
But you need saving, need saving now
Another day and then you'd be happy
Just one more day and then you'd be happy
But you're crying, you're dying now
Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he tells you where you've been, he tells you what you've seen
And he’s right about everything
He's got this dream about solving crimes, he’ll
Help Scotland Yard with the changing times
But he can’t seem to get, why they don’t like him one bit
And he offends them with everything
But you know he'll always keep trying
He needs your help for him to keep trying
You’ll make him, make him Sherlock Holmes
And when you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
And you're coming, you've now come home

Space Girl Song

My mama told me I should never venture into space
But I did, I did, I did
She said no Terran girl could trust the Martian race
But I did, I did, I did
A rocket pilot asked me on a voyage to go
And it was so romantic that I couldn't say no
That he was just a servo robot how was I to know?
So I did, I did, I did
She told me "never venture out among the asteroids"
And yet I did, I did, I did.
And she said that the Milky Way was something to avoid
And I did, I did, I did.
She said that Venus was too hot and Saturn not much fun,
Bug-eyed monsters tended to be just a trifle dumb.
She said I'd need a blaster and I'd need a freezer gun
And I did, I did, I did.
[Instrumental]
My mama told me "never trust a space engineer"
And yet I did, I did, I did
She said freefall and superdrive would surely cost me dear
And they did, they did, they did
I've been as far in hyperspace as anyone can,
I've traveled through the time warp in a Psycho Plan
They say a girl must travel for to find her superman
And I did, I did, I did.
Oh I did, I did, I did.
And I did, I did, I did.

The Last Page
04:09

I finished your book and I'm back in the real world
and feeling unshakably blue
The writing was great and the ending was fitting
I've got no complaints except one: it's over
I just want to read it again for the first time
Fall in love with the hero again
Be charmed by your magic, surprised by your villains
And discover the place where I'm home
I stare at that last page and close my eyes briefly and
Try to transport myself there
I flip the page over, there's an ad from your publisher
But no magic door to that land
I just want to read it again for the first time
Fall in love with the hero again
Be charmed by your magic, surprised by your villains
And discover the place where I'm home
[Instrumental]
I close the book gently put it back on the shelf
The second time's never the same
There's only one cure for that feeling of loss
Start a new book and keep looking
I just want to read it again for the first time
Fall in love with the hero again
Be charmed by your magic, surprised by your villains
And discover the place where I'm home
Where I'm home

Love Like You

If I could begin to be
Half of what you think of me,
I could do about anything,
I could even learn how to love
When I see the way you act,
Wondering when I'm coming back,
I could do about anything,
I could even learn how to love
like you
Love like you
Love like you
I always thought I might be bad,
Now I'm sure that it's true,
‘cause I think you're so good
And I'm nothing like you
Look at you go, I just adore you,
I wish that I knew
What makes you think I'm so special
If I could begin to do
Something that does right by you,
I would do about anything,
I would even learn how to love
When I see the way you look.
Shaken by how long it took,
I could do about anything,
I could even learn how to love
like you
Love like you
Love like you
Love me like you
