From the recording The Iciclist
The Iciclist is a humanoid alien from the planet Azül in a distant solar system. In a culture with arranged marriages, he was never assigned a bride so instead he is a space traveler, collecting data and samples throughout the universe.
He is currently exploring the Milky Way. During this trip He discovers that his computer has malfunctioned. After rebooting the computer, he realizes he is running dangerously low on gold, which is his spaceship's fuel source. He searches his database and discovers the closest planet is a place called earth. Azülians have visited earth in the past and found earthlings to be kind, generous and loving - much like the Azülians. Also, earth contains an ample supply of gold. The Iciclist changes course to earth. As he approaches, he is so low on fuel he must make an emergency landing.

Lyrics
Frozen sky
Losing altitude
Stepping out down the avenue
Freaks delight
midnight blue/groove.
Fading dawn
Just passing through
Broken strings arrive on cue
Close in time
It's not a farce to realize
The moment you believe
In sands of evergreen
You will taste the smile
The floor is high enough
The stairs are broken, up
You will taste the smile.
Empty wind fills the vacuum
That swig of gin don't care about you
Close the light
In the dark you will find sight
The moment you believe
In sands of evergreen
You will taste the smile
The floor is high enough
The stairs are broken, up
You will taste the smile.
High enough
Fractured by the moaning song
High above
Fractured by the morning sun
High enough
The levees brace the surging barren flood
The moment you believe
In sands of evergreen
You will taste the smile
The floor is high enough
The stairs are broken, up
You will taste the smile.
The moment you believe
In sands of evergreen
You will taste the smile
