Lyrics

(Music: marillion lyrics: john helmer)

I've been feeling kind of down and loose
Like a rosicrucian pope
Head down deep in the womb of time
Carrying a message of hope
My hands steady as a hangman's hands
Surer than the hangman's rope
I could sleep for invisible years
Carrying a message of hope
For the future
For the future

Carrying a message
Carrying a message
Carrying a message
Message of hope

I've been feeling kind of down and loose
Like a rosicrucian pope
Head down deep in the womb of time
Carrying a message of hope
My hands steady as a hangman's hands
Surer than the hangman's rope
I could sleep for invisible years
Carrying a message of hope
For the future
For the future

I found a power on a dusty shelf
Hey!-the languages I learned
Now i'm so powerful I hurt myself
I hurt myself
I feel kind of limbie brain
Like the library of an astronaut
Found hidden in a pyramid
Shadowing a body of thought

Carrying a message
Message of hope

Madam i'm adam, i'm a palindrome
Never odd or even any time
Fishin and smilin like a garden gnome
Twisting tales and spinning lines

Spinning lines
Twisting tales
Why don't we twist like we did last year?

Carrying, carrying a message
Message of hope
