Dragonfly

by Lou Reed

Written by Danny Kirwan and C.G. Adams.
And when the roses are half-bud soft flowers
And lovely as the king of flies has come
It was a fleeting visit, all too brief
In three short minutes, he had been and gone
He rested there upon an apple leaf
A gorgeous opal crown sat on his head
Although the garden is a lovely place
Was it worthy of so fine a guest
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Dragonfly, dragonfly ...

Dragonfly

by Disney

I once saw a dragonfly
Caught in the spiders web
As I looked at her once more
I thought that she was dead
So I left her alone
And I went on my way
And I was dreaming of Paris and Pierre Boulez
But she called to me with a beat of her wings
She called to me and said,
Free me
She said come and fly away
With me tonight
Come and fly away
With me
Come and fly away
With me tonight
She said...
I've been up there before
Riding the wind
And laughing
But now I'm afraid of flying
I'm afraid of finding that black again
I'm afraid of flying
I'm afraid of finding that black
That black again
Come and fly away
With me tonight
Come and fly away
With me
Come and fly away
With me tonight
She said...

Driving round in your car, the thoughts are piled up very, very far.
Did you know the time?
Did you happen to read the last three mile marker signs?
A bright flash of white, flashed before my eyes.
Along with the centipedes, the birds, and the dragonflies.
But did you know I loved you more than I could ever show?
And did you know that something deep inside you that would fail to grow?
And did you see there's something inside of me?
But did you know the tales of the dragonfly?
Riding round my car, I look up just in time to see I've one too far.
And where we?
Well you're not here you're back where you're supposed to be.
I miss your hair.
I yell unto a passing man but he just stares.
He stares at me, well, seeing what he wants to inside.
But did you know I loved you more than I could ever show?
And did you know that something deep inside you that would fail to grow?
And did you see there's something inside of me?
But did you know the tales of the dragonfly?
You'll come crashing round, bleeding me, holding me down, I think I like it.
You'll come crashing round, around, around.
But did you know I loved you more than I could ever show?
And did you know that something deep inside you that would fail to grow?
And did you see there's something inside of me?
But did you know the tales of the dragonfly?
You're my dragonfly! Dragonfly! Dragonfly!
Maybe the sky's falling down around the babies
Maybe the world is going to spin out of control
I don't care anymore
What if I quit today working for the man
Who said I had enough, well, maybe I can
Cuz its all gonna end anyway
Tell me doctor, whats the cure, for the wicked man's blues
Fly Dragonfly (Fly Dragonfly)
Fly Dragonfly (Fly Dragonfly)
When the sky, falls to the sea
I won't mind
The cause is me
When the wind, blows through the trees
I wanna ride
The dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly
When I come
Get me a piece
Take my advice
Just let me be
When the moon,
Turns black as night
When it arrives
Oh, Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly
*Insert guitar solo*
Don't take so long
I'll be here before you know
See you in my mind's eye
Fly Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly
Fly Dragonfly

We took our pills
It changed the world
We had our fill
But when we realized
That we were dragonflies
We knew we had to try to find a way to get more pills
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're right
Oh dragonfly
Your thousand eyes
What do they see?
The lines of history
Some things should never be
Why do we even try?
There's no such thing as dragonfly pills
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're right
Oh dragonfly
Maybe you're right

Dragonfly

by Ace of base

I will never let you down
I will always be around
In the time we are here
We'll see love disappear
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, dragonfly
I will never bring you down
I will always stick around
I will heat you when you're cold
In the time we have left
We'll raise eyes to the sky
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, dragonfly
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, fly, fly dragonfly

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen of Earth and all native intelligences
of the forty planets, satellites, moons, stars,
and any other inhabited orbs
with contestants entered in the annual Grande Trex,
the only inter-galactic race.
This year's event promises excitement to surpass all previous races.
As many of you fans already know the route or track of the orbits, glides, etc.
has been increased by 5,000 million kilometers
thus enabling Grande Trex to include the B'Arc System,
in our present event and for all succeeding GT races.

Strike and fight
Laser light shot tonight

What's a drag race? Can't you see those dragons
Speeding up the street
But I learned they weren't real
Figments of the ancient fear
Rapid scan radians
For the chance
To win the Grande
Maneuvers preprogramme
Windage
Won't operate
Negative bearing swell
Dragons fly they symbolize in myth and saga breathing fire
Look up there's one flying higher
Faster than the SCC
Is science hiding witchery?
Grande Trex fans throughout the universe are well informed
on the risks pilots take in entering this race, i.e.
re-entry into some of the alien atmospheres is tricky business
which can cause a craft to implode, explode, melt,
lose automatic structure, etc., while en route.
The craft are scheduled to surface launch 0700.5100
Greenwich time and are assembled on one of our very own stars,
Neutron Einstar EV 9.
The excitement is at a fevered pitch as the countdown approaches zero.
These hypersonic inertial transition ships
can calculate the negligible quantity of spherical differential for tight orbit,
are sonar-radar balanced and translate windage occurrence,
offset verniers, retrieve, execute prepare,
delay code and report astrogational error in a micro-second.
Naturally these specialized craft are equipped with apparatus capable
of highly sensitive maneuverability.
They can dive, sweep, run random parallel paths,
alternate axes, circumnavigate for rapid survey, spin,
count milibaricly while simultaneously displaying an accurate diagram grid
for safety measures, not to mention the quanta limitation fixtures for sea level,
ground level, level off, and hover bearings.
We have retained as an added feature to stimulate more thrills,
the computer over-ride for a three and one half hours to two gens during
which pilots and co-pilots manually control free-fall, latitude,
longitude, protact gravity, revise dimensional equations,
run programme checks, submerge in the wild oceans of Jonrin 22,
to photograph as much territory as they can in addition
to the requisite three thousand automatic shots.
The postulate for mischance runs high but not as high as the tension
and competitive spirit right here on Earth and all over
the 4 galaxies represented in this Seventh Grande Trex.

The time space tactics saved us then

Science claiming newest findings
Chanting calling flying dragons
Aboard all systems optimum

Half the continental shelf burned by interval

The countdown is minus two hundred (-200)
and I am turning you over to the control room
at command central Sia Lan for the launch.
Good luck to all the racers and especially to our ship Dragonfly;
onward to victory.
(Remember comdirect and radio silence will temporarily be in effect.)

Immovable tower come crashing down
An uncertain hour in this little town
Will you step to the edge
Move on in the dark
Let a new man have your old heart
You could spend your whole life putting blocks back in place
With each trebling hand covering up the face
That seeks high places
Greedy dragonfly
So show a new man your old smile
Indomitable portrait that hangs in your mind
Waiting to be unveiled in your darkest time
So step to the edge
Move on in the dark
Let a new man have your old heart
Let a new man have your old heart
