[Transcribed by Dave Datta, and Bob Pietkivitch]

Dancing on a white moon with a twist like a century breeze
Moving through a typhoon, feel it sticking it's a cap on a dream
brother done what we learn
God had us start to roll.
Occasionally feeling, the rust of love in my soul.

You're not in my mind, don't need you.
Whatever love I can find, I won't need you.
With my emotional life.

Aimless dreams chase in my heart,
Feeling like a loser in an unknown game.
Walking just a fool in the backyard,
Getting wounded by the timeless jealous flame.
Touching my heart like a silver knife,
As if drawn in a newsprint cartoon.
Yelling for love!
While dancing on a white moon.

You're not in my mind, don't need you.
Whatever love I can find, I won't need you.
With my emotional life.

There's a freight train running through my brain,
A restless ego is a part of it's wheels.
Silver flashes harbored in the shame,
Burning all that my soul feels.
As the sun shines bright on both evil and good,
So let the Light of your eyes shine on me!
Respecting your way, yes I would,
Tied up by the rising tide of my dark sea.

You're not in my mind, well I need you.
Whatever love I can find, I will feed you.
Through this emotional life.

Again, you're not in my mind, well I need you.
Whatever love I can find, I will feed you.
Through this emotional life.
Through this emotional life.
Through this emotional life.
Through this emotional life.
