Hawking Lyrics


Whenever I, I close my eyes
Then I don't mind being the way I am
But whenever I try explaining why
I know I never canNow that it's
Gone, paths I used to travel
Gone, things I used to handle
Gone, once I had a choice what to beBut then God kissed me
And I lost it when I fainted in his arms
Have pity on me brother, I'm trapped behind the mirror
I'm out here on the borderWondering why, why was it I?
Maybe my mind wouldn't have come this way
If I'd taken my time, answers only unwind
When you can't look awayMaybe 'cause
I want the secret broken
I want the casket open
I need to see what no eyes can seeAnd when God kissed me
Then I dreamed them when I fainted in her arms
Now I've got to go on sleeping

Lean in a little closer and I'll tell you what I'm dreaming
I'll tell you what I'm dreamingI see time without beginning
Space without an ending
I see bodies strong and running
With minds not comprehendingHave pity on your brother
Please have pity on your sister
Take pity on each other
And on every living creature, have pity somebodyWhenever I open my eyes, I can't believe it's real
It's a jungle outside, yes it is, yes it is
People just survive
They can't reach the high idealBut I know if I can't recover
At least I know, I know the book from cover to cover
And who knows? I might dream forever
Since I've met the world's greatest loverWhen God kissed me
And I knew it when I fainted in his arms
Let's dream together peopleHave pity on your brother
Have pity on your sister, please
Take pity on each other
And on every living creatureWe're all trapped behind the mirror
Out here on the border, yes we are
Please have pityPity on your brother
Pity on your sister
Pity on each other
Every living creature

Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as I Saw The Light and Hello It's Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.

Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd's ability in working with musicians.

For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He recently fronted, recorded and toured with the band The New Cars, which featured two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises. He toured with a strong band for this album, which included his long-time bassist Kasim Sulton, and former The Tubes drummer, Prarie Prince.

On September 29th, 2008 Rundgren released his 20th studio album "Arena" via Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK (Hi-Fi Recordings in the USA), to critical acclaim.

2011 found him covering Robert Johnsons songs on stage as well as on a CD called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson"
