Captain Beyond "As the moon speaks
(To the waves of the sea)" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Captain Beyond"

Listen

Jump on a moonbeam and ride

Ride it, glide it all the way

As the moon speaks

To the waves of the sea

And the ocean relic

Of the times that used to be

Many years have past

Since your vision came to me

And I think of you only

As the moon speaks to the sea

Astral lady, girl I love you

Gonna dance, you make it sound

Seal keeps altars high above all

That is out of life

Captain Beyond "Dancing Madly Backwards
(On A Sea Of Air)" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Captain Beyond"

Dancing madly backwards

Dancing on a sea

Erasing all my memories

Of blackness in my dreams

Tiptoe, tiptoe quickly

Forget about your cares

And remember underneath you

Is just a sea of air

Just remember underneath you

Is just a sea of air

Wishing all your wishes

Landing on a star

Knowing you are planted here

And knowing that's so far

Dance, dance faster

Madly dance away

But remember underneath you

Is just a sea of air

Just remember underneath you

Is just a sea of air

Well, it's alright now, look it face to face

Don't complain, if it seems too late

No no no no no

Ah, 'cause I'm not sitting on the golden gate

Love and peace and war and hate

No no no no no

Well I'm not gonna sit around and wait

All I'm doing is losing my place

No no no no

But we're all on stage and that's for sure

Searching is endless when there ain't no cure

Captain Beyond "Armworth"
(lyrics found and bit modified)

* From album: "Captain Beyond"

What was my arm worth
when they took it away?

In the spirited rush
that set up Armistice Day

Where did they put it, Bella
where and which way?

Did it stop the mad charge
that the enemy made?

Or is it with my brother
is it with my brother in a mean endless grave?

Tell me, where, tell me

Where will I go to find it?

What has my arm gained
in the balance of things?

Are there still birds flying
in a brushing of wings?

Or do they still see the skies,
still see the skies as a terrible thing?

We're spoiling all their singing, babe
and smashing up their wings

Wish I could go with them, brother,
but of all things it's only a stub of the original thing

That was there when I signed up and saluted my king

Where, tell me

Where do I go to find it?

Captain Beyond "I can't feel nothin'
(Part 1)" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Captain Beyond"

Stand near me, baby, trying to find myself

I'm looking out the window seeing no one else

I can't remember whether it's night or day

My mind is burning and it don't feel right

No, I can't feel nothin'!

I can't feel nothin'! No! No!

Thinking of oceans, birds in the sky

A feeling has coming but it just ain't right

The sky's black and it makes stars, winking at the night

The orange world is sinking, tomorrow's burning bright

[I can't feel nothin'] 4x

Captain Beyond "Myopic Void" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Captain Beyond"

[I no longer saw color

Only gray, only gray] 6x

[Dancing madly backwards

Dancing on a sea of air] 4x
