| Warm… round the hunting fire
|
| Wrapped in the robes of the dead warrior
|
| Protected from ferocious winds
|
| Under the shield of the dead gladiator
|
| Standing in the darkness of this stagecraft
|
| All is black I cannot see your faces I need
|
| Light I want to see your eyes
|
| Let my voice wash over your faces
|

| Whoaa ohhh
|
| A hundred thousand years ago
|
| People livin' in bone white cities
|
| Comin' and goin' on streets of silver
|
| Talkin' future history
|
| Then something very strong went wrong
|
| And suddenly
|
| People gathered round the hunting fires
|
| (Huddled in caves like animal, not human)
|
| Round the warmth of the late night fire
|
| Cities gone, memories fading
|
| Spend their lives round the late night fire
|
| Give their souls to the hunting fire
|
| Seeking each other’s company
|
| Tryin' to remember ancient history
|
| They lost connection
|
| They lost contact
|
| They need to touch you
|
| Reach out across the ages and touch you
|
| Meanwhile somewhere in the 20th century
|
| A young girl named Phoebe Caulfield
|
| Plops herself down on the sofa
|
| Pops open a soda and watches you
|
| She likes to watch murderer talk
|
| She likes to see them on my TV
|
| She likes to watch them how they walk
|
| She likes to hear what they say
|
| It’s like a car crash
|
| Bloody fascination
|
| You wonder how they get their shoes tied
|
| Sit and stare at the horror there
|
| She knows you watch them too
|
| Stranglers, murderers, snipers, terrorists
|
| Political assassins, crazy ones, cool ones
|
| All them looking for
|
| Connection
|
| They lost contact
|
| They lost direction
|
| They need sexual, mystical
|
| Magical, uninterrupted, Peter Gabriel like
|
| Contact
|
| Here I am
|
| Again inside
|
| This darkness
|
| All is black
|
| I cannot see your future
|
| Give me light
|
| I want to see your eyes
|
| Just a little light
|
| Inside your future
|
| A small connection
|
| Connection
|
| Ah!!!
|
| I’d like to see Jesus and Mohammad
|
| On the road to Damascus
|
| What did you think they would say
|
| Would they fight with knives clenched in their teeth
|
| Like Jews and Arabs today
|
| Or would they walk and speak
|
| Like philosophers and thinkers
|
| Amused at each other’s insights
|
| Relishing the brain waves there
|
| Round the warmth of the hunting fire
|
| Eager for, hungry for
|
| They got to have
|
| You know they love
|
| Connection
|
| Contact
|
| Communion
|
| And let our two great religions
|
| Cease their senseless struggle
|
| It only hurts the children
|
