Yes lyrics are usually in a league of their own, I think - not so much pseudo profound as inscrutable. For me, sometimes the words are intriguing just because they´re so inexplicable. This is just my idea of good Yes and bad Yes, all in one song:-

The good:-
Quote:
Even Siberia goes through the motions.
Hold out and hold up;
Hold down the window.
Outbound, river,
Hold out the morning that comes into view.
Bluetail, tailfly.
River running right over the outboard
Not so good:-
Quote:
Outboard, river.
Bluetail, tailfly,
Luther, in time,
Suntower, asking,
Cover, lover,
June cast, moon fast,
^ Ha! Didn´t realise until now that even Jon Anderson was prepared to use moon and June!
