[I: The Light]
What
Makes a dream
So very different
From any other dream
Where is that
Straight line
That I can hold up
To the light
And say no!
This is not right
This does not
Stand up
In the light

[II: One Man]
[Verse 1]
Call me Cavanaugh
I'm the one with the caveman jaw
Call me Smitty or Jones
Talkin' on the tv's and the telephones
I am the critical masses
Stand back and watch as time passes

[Verse 2]
I am the centerfold
I know the stories before they get told
You can call me Kennedy
You may have killed him but you cannot kill me
I am the crippled and blind
I paint the pretty pictures on the subway signs
Yeah, I am everything to everyone
And I won't go away at the point of a gun
[Chorus]
All of this in one man

[Verse 3]
I am rock 'n roll
I am classical, country and soul
I am the nun and the flasher
I am the father, the son and the bastard
I am the church and the steeple
Open the door and see all the people

[Chorus]

[III: Garden People]
I'm coming down

People's garden
Garden people (I'm coming down)
People's garden
Garden people (garden people)
Garden people

[IV: Looking Straight Into The Light]
[Verse 4]
Look!
There's a light
Headed for the sun
Stand and you might
Turn to everyone
The lady, the lass
Melt into glass
Looking straight into the light

[Verse 5]
Stand at the door
That would not open wide
You tried so hard before
But now we're on your side

You see us all - the left and the right
Looking straight into the light

You see us all - the left and the right
Looking straight into the light
Looking straight into the light
Looking straight into the light!

In the light

[V: The Man in the Mountain]
[Verse 6]
I am the man in mountain
I stand alone - I've been downed
In a sea of loveless illusion
So many lost - so many drowned
[Verse 7]
Got no church - got no steeple
Got no time for you people
I live the life of a shadow
The only chance that I have now
Is there
In the light

[Bridge]
They wore all kinds of things on their heads to disguise
That they'd rather be unfettered than be wealthy and wise
And they listened as their enemies made a similar sound
And they watched a million cars go by
They were gaining some ground
But they didn't know what to do
With this thing they had found
So they had a party!? (So they had a party)

[VI: Senor Valasco's Mystic Voodoo Love Dance]
[Verse 8]
I am senor Valasco
I drink my milk with tabasco
Got no place to stand
Got no home, no land, but I
Don't ever want to die
Don't place no one before I

[Verse 9]
I am the mask and the chamber
I know of love not of danger
Got no place to go
Ain't nothin' better than be here
Don't ever want to die
Don't place no one before I

Don't ever want to die
Don't place no one before I

[VII: The Return Of The Horrible Catfish Man]
[Verse 10]
I am the catfish man!
I can't hear you!
Go ahead and have a nice day now
Go ahead and say what you say now
I stand humanis erectus
Stand back... ha... ha... ha!
I am... I am

All of this in one man

[VIII: The Dream]
[Outro]
What
Makes a dream
So very different
From any other dream
Where is that
Straight line
That I can hold up
To the light and say yes!
This is alright
This one will
Stand up
In the
Light
