Paradise

This paradise, it ain't cooling down
is that on your mind?
and what will you do if they fool you too?
you'd be no stranger to the crime
This living earth, she gave you birth
and that's on your tongue
she kept you fed and like your mother said
you'll always be her child
If your love is lost, you can't pay the cost
'cause that price is sky high
she won't do you wrong, but why'd you wait so long...
do you want to see her cryin?
do you want to see her dyin?
-----
I figured someday, maybe someday
everything would be alright
but maybe I was the one
maybe I was so blind
I figured someday, maybe someday
everything could be sublime
------
This paradise, it ain't for free
you gotta give what you get
if you're losing touch, well don't take too much
you know it's a freefall into fire
an everlasting trial
reveal your heart's desires!

Peacemaker
03:35

I wait for the rider's knock at my door
I want peace but they lust for war
tried to manipulate them with love
why do they only want my blood?
I met every nation under the moon
why do they walk away so soon?
shared the figs, the rice and the wine
all I asked was, "give me some time."
----
The rider approaches
calling out my name
reaching for his pistol
now he's taking his aim
----
Slipped away in darkness of night
back home in bed by the morning light
on the brink we meet face-to-face
tears in the glass and I'm turned away
----
The rider approaches
calling out my name
reaching for the cannons
now he's taking his aim
----
I fear for the lives we're losing
cry out for a simpler time
and I fight for the tranquil vision
in our time, in our time
a twist of fate in a twisted mind
----
The rider approaches
calling out my name
reaching for my pistol
now I'm taking me aim
The rider approaches
and much to my dread
pulling my trigger
now it's gone to his head
----
I'm a peacemaker

Kingdom on High
04:23
|

|
Who made the treasures that you seek?
is it hidden in the valley or the peak?
I'm not sure I really want to know
just what kind of power it may hold
Who left the testament that you've seen?
was it buried by a savage or a queen?
Oh, I'm not sure we really need to know
what if Heaven feels like Hell below?
----
A kingdom on high
lost for all time
can you feel it in the wind?
some secret language
a kingdom on fire
lost in a night
does it echo in the leaves?
was it ever really gone?
----
High on the mountain sits a grave
where people fall to madness in the rain
I'm not sure I really understand
just what drove the poor souls from the land
----
A kingdom on high
lost for all time
can you feel it in the wind?
some ancient spirit
a kingdom on fire
lost in a night
does it echo in your mind?

Cheap Talk
04:01
|
|||
|
When the crystal ball falls short
of your dreams
and you look into the mirror
ask what it means
----
Well, talk is cheap
when you're walking away from the start
talk is cheap
if you're not trying it with all of your heart
----
When the tarot card is calling
for a prize
but you can't seem to find a reason
can't seem to rise
----
Well, talk is cheap
when you're walking away from the start
talk is cheap
if you're not trying it with all of your heart
----
When the mouth of time is calling out your name
but you're looking to take flight, no one to blame
----
Well, talk is cheap
when you're walking away from the start
talk is cheap
if you're not trying it with all of your heart

The Beholders Kansas City, Missouri
*Formerly Jim Button & the Beholders*
They emerged from the ether to travel upon those sacred
sonic landscapes where many had traveled before them... a weathered group of intrepid souls. Four riders upon the cosmic highway, blending sounds from various sources of inspiration across the spectrum of rock & roll, pop, psychedelia and any other aural pleasures that they feel so inclined to venture.
