from the song, "With Wings," by The Tear Garden:
The crippled soul divides and the scars of years fly away
like confetti on the desert wind.
Phoenix rises - proud young wings reflecting amber.
Solitary.
Untouchable.
Excited, and ready to search for his rose.
But the flight lasted so long
and those powerful wings grew weary as he padded through blind alleys,
swooped open-eyed into blind curves
and wasted night after lonely night trying to drink from a mirage.
But no distraction could decimate the totality of belief,
and his number came up just when the weight of his despair had him pinned to a rock;
when the feathers of his wings had been shed
and he stood naked before a disapassionate audience of pale, grey faces.
His precious dick. His rose.
Isolde dancing alone, then multiplying, inviting. Many, many levels.
And so the crippled soul unites and prepares for the long, long Journey Home.

"Hey You" by Pink Floyd (1979)
It Goes, "Tried As He Might, He Could Not Break Free, And The Worms Ate Into His Brain."
Hey, you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey, you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey, you
Don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight
Hey, you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey, you, with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey, you
Would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried, he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
Hey, you, out there on the road
Always doing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey, you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey, you
Don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall

"High Hopes" by Pink Floyd
"High Hopes"
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged man who followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
"Hey?"
"Yes."
"Is that Charlie?"
"Yes."
"Hello, Charlie!"
"Great."
