 Lyrics: |-
+    <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> ([artist's lyrics](https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/julia-verne))
+
+    Long ago we used to lie
+    Beneath the summer evening sky
+    The moon and mars and all the stars
+    Were in our eyes
+
+    You made a wish and it came true
+    But what it was I never knew
+    Until one night I saw your light
+    Was up there too
+
+    Julia Verne - she’s on a journey to the stars
+    Leaving behind these worldly binds
+    For something new
+
+    Julia Verne - will you return to mend these scars?
+    I’ve got to hope, my telescope’s
+    Always on you, on you
+
+    I found the note beside the bed
+    The strangest thing I’ve ever read
+    “I’ve got to go, that’s all I know”
+    Was all it said
+
+    So off it went, a loaded gun
+    To shoot you right around the sun
+    Are you insane? I can’t explain
+    The things you’ve done
+
+    Julia Verne - she’s on a journey to the stars
+    Leaving behind these worldly binds
+    For something new
+
+    Julia Verne - will you return to mend these scars?
+    I’ve got to hope, my telescope’s
+    Always on you, on you
+    On you
+
+    How many nights and days
+    Since last we parted ways
+    It must be hard to count them out in space
+    Lay down your landing gear
+    You know I’m still right here
+    Forever wondering why you disappeared
+
+    But if I could I’d take a ride
+    Across the great cosmic divide
+    And maybe then I’d once again
+    Be at your side
+
+    For if it’s true that what you’ve found
+    Way out there where there is no sound
+    Is worth it all, I’ll never fall
+    Back to the ground
+
+    Julia Verne - she’s on a journey to the stars
+    Leaving behind these worldly binds
+    For something new
+
+    Julia Verne - will you return to mend these scars?

+
+    Come one, come all to the midnight ball
+    There’s trouble brewing in the banquet hall
+    Take a leap through the line and you’ll be just fine
+    I’ve seen your face all over the unwanted signs
+
+    Have a toast to your host who’s got the least
+    He’s secretly something of an awful beast
+    With a bulletproof plan for the also-rans
+    And an awful lot of time upon his idle hands
+
+    Everybody’s going on about the end of the world
+    In fact they seem a little excited
+    It’s a party and your pity’s invited
+    Dinner and dessert provided
+
+    Vampire State - home to all the miscreated
+    Where nightmares are related and dreams annihilated
+    Vampire State - pierce the moonlight with your steeple
+    We’re not your kind of people anymore
+
+    Slow down, look around, take in all the sounds
+    Your cup ranneth over ‘til it nearly drowned
+    Take a few small sips, leave a few tall tips
+    And you can keep on dancing when the record skips
+
+    Don’t you try to sneak out of any exit routes
+    ‘Cause the scent that you’re dispensing is a sense of doubt
+    If you show off your back, you’re just an easy snack
+    You must impress upon them that you’re always on attack
+
+    Everybody keeps talking while their mouths are full
+    But you know every word they’re saying
+    And you get the feeling you’ll be staying
+    It’s an urge you can’t resist obeying
+
+    Vampire State - where the jawline meets the collar
+    It’s a real hoot & holler of opulence and squalor
+    Vampire State - rising over the horizon
+    You'll wish that you’d been wise enough to run
+
+    High on that heathen tower, clock strikes the midnight hour
+    Down from the belfry comes a cloud of wings
+    Kaleidoscope of teeth and shadows underneath
+    Eclipsing all these wretched things
+
+    But at the end of the night, if your cards are right
+    You might get out of there with only just a couple of bites
+    Keep your sleeves rolled down when you reach the ground
+    And no one else will have to know when you get back to town
+
+    Everybody looks different in the light of the day
+    At the masquerade’s adjourning
+    But when the midnight oil is burning
+    You know that you will be returning
+
+    Vampire State - climb the hundred-story talon
+    A crimson Irwin Allen exploding by the gallon
+    Vampire State - calling all the anti-saviors
+    Be on your worst behavior at the
+    Vampire State - dreaded fang as high as mountains
+    An oozing scarlet fountain a billion served and counting
+    Vampire State - where the wounds are freshly severed
+    You’ll wish that you had never heard its name

+    He stood on the top of the hill
+    He said "This isn't a drill - I'm gone"
+    "I'm headed up to the dome"
+
+    He put his life on his back
+    And headed out at the crack of dawn
+    To make himself right at home
+
+    Out where the river shimmers in the night
+    And the stars speak words if you listen to them right
+    The crazy little creatures hidden out of sight
+    They come out and talk
+    To the Hermit of the Half Moon Rock
+
+    It's him and the hawk
+    Hauling up the vertical walk
+    Of the Half Moon Rock
+    Why don't you give him a knock?
+    Follow the trail of chalk
+    Up the Half Moon Rock
+    Up the Half Moon Rock
+    Up the Half Moon Rock
+    The Hermit of the Half Moon Rock
+
+    He sewed the leaves in his dress
+    And if it was hot even less he wore
+    And sometimes nothing at all
+    The hawk was all that he had
+    And if he was lonely or sad, he'd roar
+    And echo through the canyon walls
+
+    And the mountain lion came running to the sound
+    While the whole hog herd would gather all around
+    The comfortable bugs all living in the ground
+    Would raise a few stalks
+    For the Hermit of the Half Moon Rock
+
+    It's him and the hawk

+    The beetles lend him a gland
+    For the testament he scrawls inside his cave
+
+    He carves it out with a tooth
+    He's on a mission for truth
+    In a world he does not know if he can save
+
+    And he thinks he might be leaving
+    But he isn't ready yet
+    'Cause under every stone is a spirit to be met
+    Oh yeah
+
+    And when he'd finally rest
+    There with the hawk in his nest, he'd pause
+    And think about who he was
+
+    Out in the world all alone
+    His life completely his own, his laws
+    Only written in the things he does
+
+    But if the buffalo bunch could stand the monsoon
+    And the choir of crickets could learn to sing in tune
+    Could the prince of the primates rise pretty soon
+    And find his own flock?

+    Every corner of the city’s lined with shadows
+    Every stranger in the street averts their eyes
+    All the people locked away behind the windows
+    They’re all waiting for a hero to arise
+
+    All the men remember days when they were stronger
+    Every woman hides a dagger in her gown
+    But you won’t cover up your faces any longer
+    On the day when I come riding into town
+
+    So put a light on in your window, put your face against the glass
+    Don’t you know that I’m your hero? Won’t you whistle when I pass?
+    I’ll move a mountain if you just rely on me
+    I’ll be the one you want to call “Your Majesty”
+
+    Every year it comes with trials and tribulations
+    And all the answers are revealed to next to none
+    But I recall a time of grand imaginations
+    Long before you learned to say “it can’t be done”
+
+    There is a storm to come that none alone can weather
+    But if you’d like to learn I’ll gladly show you how
+    And in the days ahead we all will band together
+    For your liberator walks among you now
+
+    So raise a banner from the tower when you open up the gate
+    Don’t you know this is your hour? I have come to bear the weight
+    I swear I’ll set your body and your spirit free
+    I’ll be the one you want to call “Your Majesty”
+
+    Now is the reckoning of wretches and the meek
+    For the champion that you seek is at your door
+    I’ll rectify a world of impotence and rage
+    And not only for an age but evermore
+
+    In times of trouble we are torn in all directions
+    You may be dazzled by the roads you travel down
+    Do not beleaguer in the burden of selection

+    I know the strain you must endure to still believe
+    But I could steer a steady course with your assistance
+    Toward the things that only power can achieve
+
+    So now awaken from your slumber, wipe the worry from your brow
+    Don’t know I’ve got your number? Can’t you hear me calling now?

+    And I’m taking you there tonight
+    So let’s hang like a key
+    Flying fancy and free from a kite
+    The morning edition and trusted magicians
+    Say all the conditions are right
+    So up we’ll be travellin’ where they’re unravellin’
+    Jupiter’s javelin smite
+
+    Climb up to the clouds
+    We’re the few and the proud here tonight
+    (Tonight, tonight, tonight)
+    Indulging a dream

+    (In flight, in flight, in flight)
+    The evening papers can peer through the vapors
+    Which cover our capers from sight
+    (From sight, from sight, from sight)

+    Into plasmatic roads made of light
+    (Of light, of light, of light, hey!)

+    We’ll be way up high

+
+    We’ve ridden the wheel
+    That hangs at our heels tonight
+    (Tonight, tonight, tonight)

+    (Couldn’t bite, couldn’t bite, couldn’t bite)
+    Few mortals would dare to the mischief we share
+    In the throes of such hair-raising frights
+    (Such frights, such frights, such frights)

+    So widen your eyelet
+    ‘Cause I am the pilot tonight
+    (Tonight, tonight, tonight)
+    And all those behind
+    May they pay me no mind, but they might
+    (They might, they might, they might)
+    I’ve stolen away for an evening of play
+    And I wish I could stay at this height
+    (This height, this height, this height)

+
+    Little fly, don’t you die so easy
+    I know you only live a day
+    Weathered by the winds so high and breezy
+    Don’t you let this evening slip away
+
+    Little legs hatch from eggs each morning
+    Silhouettes hardly ever change
+    Stomach begs the musky dregs adorning
+    For a taste of something new and strange
+
+    Oh, open up your eyes
+    Can’t you see you’re falling for the Venus Fly?
+    Oh, won’t you tell me why
+    You keep living like you’re never gonna die?
+
+    Little speck, don’t you wreck your wingspan
+    The beating of which gives to you your name
+    Keep in check below your neck for things can
+    So easily be plucked upon your frame
+
+    Spiders crawling forest walls you’ve thwarted
+    You circumvent the snatch of froggy tongue
+    The birds who call from perches tall you’ve shorted
+    But on this fang you let yourself be hung?
+
+    Oh, open up your eyes
+    Can’t you see you’re falling for the Venus Fly?
+    Oh, won’t you tell me why
+    You keep living like you’re never gonna die?
+
+    Never gonna die
+    Don’t you know that it’s a lie?
+    You were only passing by for a try, another high,
+    Now the jaws will never pry
+
+    "Come and play," you hear it say so sweetly
+    Nothing else had ever been so bold
+    But where you lay it's had its way discreetly
+    With all the rest who never grew so old
+
+    The same disease that lures the bees to pollen
+    Pulls you where no free thing should involve
+    In the squeeze of this the tease you’ve fallen
+    Now to feel your body be dissolved
+
+    Oh, open up your eyes
+    Can’t you see you’re falling for the Venus Fly?

+    There is an ivory horse
+    Upon a platinum post
+    Down at the bumper car breaks
+    Of the roller coast
+
+    Where all the riders go on
+    In an exotic parade
+    You were there long ago
+    While the organ played
+
+    And although you aren't sure when

+    Up to the saddles they crawl
+    To seize the world by the reins
+    Standing ten feet tall
+
+    I saw the mayor and his wife
+    Wearing their funny old hats
+    Sat in the carriage behind
+    With a herd of cats
+
+    And they rose to the sound of the pipe
+    Which blows a peppermint stripe
