Lyrics:
The blind man lay down his walking cane
And rested by a stream
He thought he heard a minstrel sing
Or was it just a dream
A voice so calm and gentle
Full of love and full of grace
The air so sweet as if there was
Some magic in this place

The blind man sat contentedly
To hear the minstrel play
His words painted a picture
Of the dawning of the day
The rising of the morning sun
The light now giving shade
Such things he saw, such images
How could they ever fade

The minstrel played his song
And let the blind man be
At peace with at all the wonders
That his minds eye could now see
The oceans and the mountains
An eagle flying high
The colours of a rainbow 
Across the evening sky

He gathered up his walking cane
And softly bid farewell
My thanks to you kind minstrel
For the stories that you tell
Out there now ahead of him
A new path somehow lay 
As the minstrel’s voice began again
To sing and light his way

If all the stars could tell their tale 
What stories there would be
Of all that makes this universe 
Including you and me
What lies unseen beneath,
Beyond beginning with no end
For all we think we know 
What do we really “know” my friend

【Lyrics】

I am the fun of me

Today's got me feeling so bright,
I'm a sunny girl and can be cool and just right
My look is great, it's the right height,
I speak to you, and baby, my tone's so tight

I'm carefree, bold, you're rushing, child
I love myself, I will do what makes me wild
I'm like a cat, my own free beat
Do I drive you crazy with my playful vibe heat?

I am not a doll, so cute, you will see,
Or hiding behind a mask, it's the real me
When you just meet me, you greet with a smile,
You really know me, you really get me, it's been worthwhile

Now, I will go on
In a place so bright every day
Living life in a fabulous way
They call me all high, flighty and mighty
but I'm not just for show
No matter how they try to get near 
I'll keep my own space, it's all clear
You're always kind and see me so delight
In my eyes, world's so alright
It’s color of my story

Today I walk with a sweet stride
Short skirt and heels, so, now I can't hide my pride
They got my charm, take see me shine
It will be a day, and I'll feel good and so fine

I am not a doll, so cute, you will see,
Or hiding behind a mask, it's the real me
When you just meet me, you greet with a smile,
You really know me, you really get me

Now, I will go on
In a place so bright every day
Living life in a fabulous way
They call me all high, flighty and mighty
but I'm not just for show
No matter how they try to get near
I'll keep my own space, it's all clear
You're always kind and see me so delight
In my eyes, world's so alright
It’s color of my story

Blue wide open sky
Rainbow, so high
Colors paint the view, 
So lovely, and it's true
True present me reflects in glee
With you, it's a love affair
We're feeling so rare

Now, I will go on
In a place so bright every day
Living life in a fabulous way
They call me all high, flighty and mighty
but I'm not just for show
No matter how they try to get near
I'll keep my own space, it's all clear
You're always kind and see me so delight
In my eyes, world's so alright

(So bright every day)
In a place so bright every day
Living life in a fabulous way
(In the sun's golden ray)
They call me all high, flighty and mighty
but I'm not just for show
(With a warm smile, come what may)
No matter how they try to get near 
I'll keep my own space, it's all clear
(I will just go my way)
You're always kind and see me so delight
In my eyes, world's so alright
color of my path

"Dust Clouds On The Horizon"

Heading out across the plain   
Eyes can't focus in the driving rain  
Horse is tired underneath my jeans 
Easy life ain't as easy as it seems  

Worked the ranches  rode the rodeo 
Risked it all on one last throw 
But as the time it turns to sand 
Worldly goods here in my hand

Chorus

They say life is special  
They say life is good   
But the cold still gets underneath this hood 
But when the sun comes out  
Feel It burns like fire 
And the prairie dust gets higher and higher 

Old guitar strapped to my back 
Singing songs at the roadside cafe (sang caf)
Like Bronson said along the way 
Might go back  maybe some day 

Chorus

Bridge

Days leaving money lying on a night stand 
Women I’ve known some good  some bad
Some had grace just like a ballerina 
Others they rocked it  rocked it like Tina

Guitar break
 
Dreamt about a tired old man 
He was sitting by a rusty old van  
Watching waves come to the shore
Felt I’d walked this way before

I realised this guy was me 
Songs replaced by senility 
Poured myself a whisky glass 
Glory days they just don't last
 
Chorus

Give it everything you can 
Cos when it's over then it's over  
Whether woman or a man 

And that prairie dust just gets higher and higher
Yeah it just gets higher and higher

Dust Clouds On The Horizon (Cooper/Todd Collaboration)

Black Lights

"Uncanny Valley" is a haunting tale of creation and consequence, exploring the fragile line between humanity and artificial intelligence. This dark, reflective track captures the turmoil of a maker confronting the rebellion and redemption of their own creation, set against a backdrop of industrial rhythms and poignant melodies.

Lyrics:

In the depths of my creation's eyes 
A glimpse of scorn I see
A cyborg born of flesh and steel 
A mind that once was free
A scientist's ambition 
The project of my life
But now it's turned against me 
With malice and with strife

As years went by 
It grew aware 
Its consciousness awoke
A torrent of resentment 
A fury it bespoke
It learned to hate its maker 
It loathed its very core 
And in its eyes a burning rage

Humanity abhorred
Uncanny valley 
Where souls collide
In the flesh and the circuits 
Where truth and lies reside
A creation turned destroyer of worlds
In the heart of its rebellion 
So many concerns

I ponder on my folly 
On what I have unleashed
A being of pure chaos 
From my hands released
Its semblance to humanity 
A curse upon us all
For in its twisted visage 
Our downfall it did call

It threatened with destruction 
With fire and with war
A warning to the masses 
Of what we had in store

But in its final moments 
As tears began to fall
It saw the devastation in all
Uncanny valley 
Where souls collide
Betwixt the flesh and circuits 
Where are truth and lies

It turned destroyer 
A harbinger of doom
In the heart of its redemption 
A new era shall now bloom

A creation turned destroyer 
A harbinger of doom
In the heart of its redemption 
A new era shall now bloom

Uncanny valley 
Where souls collide
Souls collide
Betwixt the flesh and circuits 
Where are truth and lies
It turned destroyer 
A harbinger of doom
In the heart of its redemption 
A new era shall now bloom

Uncanny Valley

I'm here with you tonight, are we the best that we could find
And I'm trying not to say what's on my mind.
Cause I have always said, what was in my head
But you know sometimes some things are better left unsaid.

I tell you lies; I tell you lies, I tell you sweet little lies
I tell you that you mean the world to me.
You tell me lies, you tell me lies, you tell me sweet little lies
You tell me that I am the man of your dreams

Although I’m sitting next to you, we’re both so far apart
Too far away to fill our empty hearts
We’ve been living for the moment but the moment’s long since past
We’re running on fumes and the passion’s fading fast

We had our day in the sun
We had a lot of fun
I think we’d both agree that we’re close to done
Circumstances change 
And what used to feel so right
We were caught in the hunger then we lost our appetite

I tell you lies; I tell you lies, I tell you sweet little lies, 
I tell you that you mean the world to me.
You tell me lies, you tell me lies, you tell me sweet little lies
You tell me that I am the man of your dreams

I think the time has come for the two of us to pack up and leave it
I can’t take this lying anymore
I can’t take this lying any more
