A hand axe is a bifacial Stone tool typical of the lower (Acheulean) and middle Palaeolithic (Mousterian), and is the longest-used tool of human history.
Hand axes are found mainly in Africa, Europe and Northern Asia, while South Asia retained flake-industries such as the Hoabinhian.
New archaeological evidence from Baise, China shows that there were also hand axes in eastern Asia.
Older hand axes were produced by direct percussion with a stone hammer and can be distinguished by their thickness and a sinuous border. Later Mousterian handaxes were produced with a soft billet of antler or wood and are much thinner, more symmetrical and have a straight border.
An experienced flintknapper needs less than 15 minutes to produce a good quality hand axe. A simple hand axe can be made from a beach pebble in less than 3 minutes.
Hand axes are mainly made of flint, but rhyolites, phonolites, quartzites and other rather coarse rocks were used as well. Obsidian, natural volcanic glass, shatters easily and was rarely used.
I saw the Abominable Snowman at the fair
Carnie says he's from Nepal
Take a look if you dare
Scabs on his clubbed feet
Smell of fish and chips in the air
Alone in his trailer
People come and pay to stare
For a couple dollars
You can see the freaks at the fair
Stand and laugh
Or you can just stare
Thank God, my kids don't look like that
Freakshow at the fair
Freakshow at the fair
Lobster boy, found half-way 'round the world
Modern science, keeps alive
A beautiful headless girl
Siamese twins or child in fins
Makes you cry
Seen her turn into an ape before your eyes
For a couple dollars
You can see the freaks at the fair
Stand and laugh
Or you can just stare
Thank God, my kids don't look like that
Freakshow at the fair
Freakshow at the fair
Where have all the freaks gone?
We don't see 'em at the fair
Have doctors found a cure?
Are they all locked up somewhere?
I saw the Abominable Snowman at the fair
Connie says he's from Nepal
Take a look if you dare
Freakshow at the fair
Freakshow at the fair
Don't you know you're everything to me
Everything I want, everthing I need
Makes me feel like a kid again
But I don't want a [night] like you
Not like you
I can't forget what I want
No, no, no, no ,no, no
It's not really what I want
I want you
I want you (I want you)
When I think about kissing her
I know it won't happen, I feel blue
Oh, yes I do
Miss her more than I want tonight
But she's an ache in my mind
That just won't go away
Maybe someday
I can't forget what I want
No, no, no, no ,no, no
It's not really what I want
I want you
I want you (I want you)
When the canons go off I still hear the fireworks
I can't tell her so what's the use'
When I think about kissing her
I know it won't happen, I feel blue
Oh, yes I do
But when I think about missing her
I get lonely, I'm confused
I'm a wreck, I'm a ruin
I can't forget what I want
No, no, no, no ,no, no
It's not really what I want
I want you
I want you
I can't forget what I want
Oooh, I want you
I want you
I want you
Come hell or hot water you're going down
Uneasy, lies the head that wears the crown
You forgot your p's and q's
Because you paid your dues, doesn't make it alright
And there's a bug at your window
That will not leave you alone tonight
And heaven looks after fools and thieves
Heaven looks after fools and thieves
Heaven looks after fools and thieves
Easy as an egg strikes the stone
It's the one that finds the bone, you too shall pass
Uneasy lies the head
That wears the crown
And heaven looks after fools and thieves
Heaven looks after fools and thieves
Heaven looks after fools and thieves
Head's a penny are a broken mirror
You can have 'em all
We don't need 'em here
We worship the ground that you trip on
Wanna stay but you've gotta get out
Feeling sure but you have your doubts
Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown
And heaven looks after fools and thieves
Heaven looks after fools and thieves
There she goes
She walks like she'd rather not be in clothes
A seashell tear flows
Photographs and a waxed rose
A good soul everybody knows
Green her garden grows
She sits on a fence, Sweet Pea
I'll follow Sweet Pea
Oil cans for a giant heart
The children laughed trying on her shoes
Boys and girls watch her move
She sits on a fence, Sweet Pea
I'll follow Sweet Pea
The Queen is dead
After the drag show
Lady in the paper said
'Got what he asked for'
They have the secret code
They have the secret kiss
That I wanna know
The boys club lets the girls in
If they look good
The doorman kept calls
Smell finds his foot
They have a secret code
They have a secret kiss
That I wanna know
Sitting among the great unwashed
Waiting for the rain to start
Everyone's lives seem so clear
Watching from here
They have a secret code
They have a secret kiss
Bells, they rang all night
Toss and turn in our bed, back to back
Your breaths are deep
And pills they help me go to sleep
Forget who I am, what I want
Where I'm going
Straight, stand up on my artificial bones
But I've just seen a ghost
To your past, my favorite toast
Seen a ghost
Seen a ghost
Let down your rope
So I can crawl out of my head
Crawl out of, crawl out of my head
I, I'm an open book
Have you read enough?
A bird that's full flies away
Straight, I stand up on my artificial bones
Won't you, won't you take me home?
'Cause I can't leave you alone
Seen a ghost
Seen a ghost
You look good with your lights and mirrors
But I could tell if I could get a bit nearer to you
Now you're lying on a hard wood floor
You know you're alive but you can't be sure, it's true
Rumor has it, it's true
You got your cake and you got your brass ring
Now you're friends are the next big thing, it's true
Rumor has it, it's true
In the deep, deep blue you'll be swimming along
With your concrete shoes and a straitjacket on
We don' know that you're gone
Rumor has it, it's true
Rumor has it, it's true
The sun and the moon, the other planets and the earth
Separated from each other at birth, it's true
Bits of wood and an old cloth shroud
The man in the temple's kicking out the crowd, it's true
Rumor has it, it's true
In the deep, deep blue you'll be swimming along
With your concrete shoes and a straitjacket on
We don't know that you're gone
Rumor has it, it's true
In the deep, deep blue you'll be swimming along
With your concrete shoes and a straitjacket on
We don't know that you're gone
Rumor has it, it's true
Rumor has it, it's true
Rumor has it, it's true
Rumor has it, it's true
You, swore you never found anything about me you could adore
Now it has come to pass
And I can't you off of my ass
You, took me for a ride
Off the road you strayed
Like a moth, flying into the light
You kept coming back
You kept coming back
Like a moth flying into the light
But wait til the light turns black
Hands, unsteady
I brought your face to mine
I---I wasn't ready
I needed more time
Like a moth, flying into the light
You kept coming back
You kept coming back
Like a moth flying into the light
But wait til the light turns black
Arms length of trill
I leave you now bitter still
I show my claws but I can't fall
Like a moth, flying into the light
You kept coming back
You kept coming back
Like a moth, flying into the light
Dear, I sit in a room, [in my bed]
And I think of all the things that went wrong
As the truth, unfolds before us, like a flower
And that blank stare still tattooed on your face
Now, you've gone away
Where you went, you won't say
And I made a bed that will not let me sleep
And I know, I fell
But that hair shirt I wear well
And I know you're miles away I still can't let you go
[When you're miles away maybe once a day
Do you still think of me
When your miles away do you finally say that you're free]x2
In the rain, river swell, flooding down my wishing well
And I made a bed that will not let me sleep
And I know, I fell
Aut that hair shirt I wear well
And I know you're miles away I still can't let you go
Your house is gone and so are you
Your husband died in '92, your family's spread out
You were the glue, your things divided
Center is falling through, you taught me well
I said, "Goodbye, Miriam"
Well, that blue coat and gray wool pants
Those things you bought, I never gave a chance
That I'd outfit swore, would open up
Every single door, you taught me well
I said, "Goodbye, Miriam"
A cross was burned in 23, a black barber's yard
Down your street but you should be afraid
Your father said, "That cross was burned for you and me"
Stays in my head, you taught me well
I said, "Goodbye, Miriam"
Well, on your bed in '93, I held your hand
You looked at me, you couldn't speak
All that morphine, your last days
Spent in dreams, you said a lie
Night time rolled around
Got in my car, crossed town
She be waiting there for me I fell in love fast, I fell hard
I can't get away
From the memories of that place
I'll get back there someday
In her arms, I'd melt away
Like a fortress, we held the world at today
She made me take off my watch off
When we laid down
Her long hair got caught in it
Maker the hours pass like minutes, she'd say
We'd spend the night, lovers learn
Candles flicker, insense burns
In the morning I'd be gone
I can't get away
From the memories of that place
I'll get back there someday
In her arms, I'd melt away
While the night slip into the day
In a room, locked away
Like a fortress, held the world at today
I'd feel her body
And I'd touch her mouth
Kiss her lips
The worms are coming out
I plead and I plead
Broke her heart with the slip of my tongue
Take it all back but the deed is done
Well now I'm a mess
She's with another man, I guess
Time heals all wounds but I can't forget . . .
I can't get away
From the memories of that place
I'll get back there someday
In her arms, I'd melt away
While the night slipped into the day
In a room, locked away
Like a fortress, held the world at today
Can you see a king
Suspend all disbelief
Walking through the bad part of town
Can you turn the other cheek
Can you forget that you were chattel
Bones in our closet always rattle
Caught in a steel trap
Memory serves, it's never gonna pass
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin' down
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin' down
A zealous one, born too soon
Could he see his city on a hill ruins
Caught in a steel trap
Memory serves, it's never gonna pass
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin' down
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin' down
Can you pray
Can you take that walk
From Harper's Ferry to Little Rock
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin' down
Old John Brown
Made out like a bandit
Never ends like you planned it
You don't carry a torch for him
The earth was scorched for him
Now you can't forget
It's not the same, it's never better
It'll change your world
If you let it, for now
You can't see more for the tears
Make sure you get dressed up
You'll never know, if you'll see your ex there
But he'll finally fade out
'Cause you stayed out too long
It's not the same, it's never better
It'll change your world
If you let it, for now
You can't see more for the tears
Who carved the name on your head board? Who?
It's true, you can stand it out, it's true
There's the peeing on trees you know
The birds and bees you know
Don't wanna let you go
When they're kicking
On your tires one day
You're gonna tell 'em
"Hey, this car's up for sale"
It's not the same, it's never better
It'll change your world
If you let it, for now
You can't see more for the tears
For the tears
For the tears
For the tears
For the tears
For the tears
For the tears
For the tears
Donna's seven
Donna's seven
Alone until eleven
Waiting, waiting
Spider webs in the corner
Does anyone adore her?
Fly in water youngest daughter
Waiting, waiting
Get it right now, Donna, get it right
We're waiting patiently for you
The coffee can beneath the sink
Night time holds her mother's urine stink
Donna's seven
Donna's seven
Alone until eleven
Baby got home the other day
And round here, things ain't the same
Gotta wake up early, gotta find a job
Watch the baby, mow the lawn
Since my baby come home, don't go out drinking
Don't stay out late, don't get around
She says turn the phone off, don't you make no plans
Since my baby come home, I'm a busy man
Well, I gotta cook, I gotta clean
Get re-acquainted with the washing machine
I don't see my friends much, I don't play guitar
She says stop thinking that you are a star
Since my baby come home, don't go out drinking
Don't stay out late, don't get around
She says turn the phone off, don't you make no plans
Since my baby come home, I'm a busy man
No, I don't want to be a bachelor
No, I don't want to be alone
No, I don't want to complain much
Since my baby come home, I'm a busy man
Since my baby come home, don't go out drinking
Don't stay out late, don't get around
She says take your clothes off, don't you make no plans
Since my baby come home I'm a busy man
Get undress and fall into our bed
This can of worms is left for dead
I can't wait through all this shit
Come close, dear, and let me hold you near
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong
It's always coldest before dawn
One more bad day so goodnight
Turn off the light, don't cry now
Don't speak, don't make a sound
It's a long time losing streak
But we'll get through this one more week
One more bad day so goodnight
Turn off the light
(Falls)
Between us are standing tall
Snowball in hell, drunk down in a well
Chances are, I will wake up with you
One more bad day so goodnight
Turn off the light
One more bad day so goodnight
Not far from the cradle close to the grave
You'd get out of bed but you're not that brave
You can scream but nobody's listening
Weren't you already kissing me
In your orchard you said you were tortured
You can take your case
To the Geneva Convention
But they won't mention it
You're the big noise and I'm nothing
With a pillow my cries are muffled
When you're playing with the big boys
Know they got each other covered
Weak and broken
The fat lady's choking
I don't need clothes
Where I'm going to
Got my eyes on you
'Sans Sucre
With or without you
Without you
You can just lie there and I'll stay
Everyone's been someone's worst lay
Don't forget me when I'm gone
You'll thank me later on
In your orchard you said you were tortured
You can take your case
To the Geneva Convention
But they won't mention it
'Sans Sucre
With or without you
Without you
I'm climbing up your ladder now the next rung is thin air
I'm lying at your feet and you don't care
You're hog-tied on your dirty chair, you think that day is night
You're so far left, you think you're right
Sugar in my tank but I'm alright
You are the one, you are the one twitch in my eye
You are the one, you are the one, but I'm not blind
You are the twitch in my eye but I'm not blind
Pins and needles everywhere, I'm chewing on steel wool
The China shop is burning down waiting for a bull
The glue factory's got my name, a gathering of lies
Anticipating my imminent demise
Killing, killing me hardly now
Try to scream as you shut my mouth
You are the one, you are the one twitch in my eye
You are the one, you are the one twitch in my eye
You are the one, you are the one, but I'm not blind
You are the twitch in my eye, but I'm not blind
You're laughing, I'm going down
You're laughing, I'm going down
Here we are
We're finally alone now
It's just you and me
And the memories of her
Please don't go
Though I know that you're angry
Maybe we can kill these ghosts
With another glass of wine
There's the glass
That she pressed to her lips nightly
If you look
You can see a lipstick trace
There's the dress
That she wore so tightly
If you look in the mirror
You can see her standing there
Those things are hers
The ring and the glass and the bed that you lie on
And I got nerve
It's mean dragging up the past like she wasn't gone
And it's a curse, to live in the shadow of a memory
That just keeps hanging on
There's the ring
That once held us together
She wants it back
So I'm sending it next week
There's the coat
Of brown and dirty leather
She doesn't really need it
'Cause it's warm there out east
Those things are hers
The ring and the glass and the bed that you lie on
And I got nerve
It's mean dragging up the past like she wasn't gone
And it's a curse to live in the shadow of a memory
That just keeps hanging on
There's the lamp
That she turned off everynight
When she came to bed
And she held me in her arms
There's the door
That she walked through daily
And the place that I last saw her
When she walked out on me
Those things are hers
The ring and the glass and the bed that you lie on
And I got nerve
It's mean dragging up the past like she wasn't gone
And it's a curse to live in the shadow of a memory
That just keeps hanging on
To live in the shadow of a memory
How high can you go before gravity pulls you
And I far can you run before they catch you and dress you
You won't get away unless you beg
How much can you steal before they come to arrest you
And how far will you go before they try to molest you
If you already let 'em caress you
Tell me
How can I take you down
Tell me
You look good in your four leaf crown
How far will you go just to show that you love me
And how much can you take before you're battered and bloody
Will you take it off in some [old funny]
Tell me
How can I take you down
Tell me
You look good in your four leaf crown
How much can you see with your pornographic memory
Can you see my face
Or can you come without a trace
How long can you wait before your life is over
And how much can you drink before you want to be sober
Will you ever find your four leaf clover
How cruel can you be before I try to forget you
How much can you lose everything, I bet you
You're crooked and they won't correct you
Tell me
How can I take you down
Tell me
You look good in your four leaf crown
I said tell me, how can I take you down
Tell me
How can I take you down
Tell me
You look good in your four leaf crown
Tell me
You bought a bridge last night
Now you watching it burn
How could you see the light
If your back was turned?
Well, sticking pins in dolls
And they're thinking 'bout you
If the concord's in the air
It's probably got a pretty good view
Bottom feeders, nose bleeders
The van was at the gates
They want a piece of you
But they're gonna have to wait
Sticking pins in dolls
And they're thinking 'bout you
If the concord's in the air
It's probably got a pretty good view
Come out of the dim
Come into the light
Come out here you'll see
Come out of the night
They say you're clever and they'll say you're cute
Little emperor in a birthday suit
You call the shots, the bomb, the dagger
And the firing swat lining up to shoot
You're lying there shaken
When all your things were taken
An insider job you believe
Beautiful revere, she's got a radio antenna
She's sending signals but you can't receive
They sticking pins in dolls
And they're thinking 'bout you
If the concord's in the air
It's probably got a pretty good view
Come out of the dim
Come into the light
Come out here you'll see
Come out of the night
Staying here is killing me
I know it wasn't meant to be
I wish I had the strength to leave
I wanna get out of here, so I can breath
I wanna be over you
Give me the strength to walk
Out the door and feel the shock of the cold air, of lonliness
I want to try and stand the test of the blues
I wanna be over you
Try to talk it out, now I'm walking out
I wanna be over you
We're stuck in a rut, I know in my gut
I wanna be over you
A pretty face and pillow talk
Has got me weak and I'm all worn up
Love is hard, desire is strong
A vague sense of something's wrong with us
I wanna be over you
Try to talk it out, now I'm walking out
I wanna be over you
We're stuck in a rut, I know in my gut
I wanna be over you
I'm going down your crooked road
I've paid the tolls
Why quit now you say'
We're on a roll
Give me the strength to walk
Out the door and feel the shock of the cold air, of lonliness,
I want to try and stand the test of the blues
I wanna be over you
I wanna be over you
I wanna be over you
Take a walk with me behind the curtain
I know your friends are watching me
Can I plant my flag high upon your hilltop
So everyone can know I'm here to stay
There never seems to be enough
To fill my cup my darling
Can I mainline you again
Tumble down and spent entangled
The worms are looking for the dead
Can I crawl inside your every tiny alcove
You can knock me down and take my dying breath
Never seems to be enough
To fill my cup my darling
Can I mainline you again
So glad I found you
I'll never be the bird
Around your neck
Around your neck
There never seems to be enough
To fill my cup, my darling
Can I mainline you again
There's time before the sun wakes up and grabs me
And drags me through another day
You think someone up there can't stand me
I guess I'm just vain
Where does it come from
You've got love
But not as much as you need
But you've lost again
There's a flame on a candle keeps burning
Wind blowing can't put it out
No fire in my house concerns me
But a spark I can't live without
I hear the wedding band
Rub your name--Rub you name out on the sand
And you've lost again
I can't face it, I've wasted
Time away from you
I feel caged in
I'm changing 'cause of time away from you
And you, and you
Fall in love everynight with someone
Like the dancer who said I was nice
but wasn't never gonna call
I'd like to go home everynight with someone
But the pictures on the mantle, won't let me sleep at all
Another lonely heart club band
well sometimes the ring is too small for my hand
yeah, and you
Lost again
yeah, and you
There's a smell you can't find nowhere else
It's sick and sweet
If there's a hell that's sent that there will dwell
Getting sugar from a sugar beet
Well, all the way through clay county, 29, to grand forks that ranked perfume
Yeah, she's up in Kandiyohi
The long distance makes here memory grow weak
You don't believe what you said
The truth will make you swear a blue streak
Yeah, I hear she's engaged
I didn't mean to ruin you week
But you won't like what you find there
Kandiyohi
Yeah, all your letter they're unopened
And all your calls are going unreturned
Yeah, you think you'd get the picture
Oh, man you'll never learn
Well, i tried to warn you
You drive there to find out just the same
Yes, you will
You won't like what you find there
Kandiyohi---Kandiyohi
Angels above, drive the devil down below
Yeah, you pray that you have her
now she's starting to show
Well, I hear she's getting married and moving up to Fargo
But, you won't like what you find there
Behind shaky worship heaves a bitter moon
Mother wit and street smarts bloom
Things fall apart the center cannot hold
Women on rockets and the men all follow
There might not a file but they're keeping tabs on you
Oil on water and the turd in the Louvre
Turncoats smile and then they grieve
They dig your grave shallow so you can breathe
Into thin air
Into thin air
Into thin air
Into thin air
The yellow sun will someday smolder red
Cords and cables, steel and concrete lie useless and dead
No worms and blood, bones and hair
A paste less shell powders into thin air
Into thin air
Into thin air
Days are cold and gray
It's hard to be away
But I guess that's what I meant
When I said, ?I do?, and you said it too
I can't get used to this
No matter how hard I try
But if it goes on too much longer
I'll probably die
But just because I've been away so long
And just because I'm not that strong
Just because a pretty woman turns me on
Doesn't mean I'm gonna be a fool
And give up what I got with you
I miss your laughing lips
I miss your eyes and hips
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
In a week or two
I'm coming home to you
And when I get back there's a lot of things
A lot of things that we're gonna do, it's true
I always think about the things you said
I always think about you in bed
Sometimes I try to think of something instead
But we made love for hours in my head
I miss your laughing lips
I miss your eyes and hips
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
I miss your laughing lips
I miss your eyes and hips
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
I've been away so long, right or wrong
Sometimes I can't even sing a song
I'm comin' there, I'm just about gone
I'm gonna love you all night long
In a week or two
I'm coming home to you
And when I get back there's a lot of things
A lot of things that we're gonna do
Well, just because I've been away so long
And just because I'm not that strong
Just because a pretty woman turns me on
Doesn't mean I'm gonna be a fool
And give up what I got with you
I miss your laughing lips
I miss your eyes and hips
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
I miss your laughing lips
I miss your eyes and hips
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
I miss your laughing lips
I miss your eyes and hips
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
'Cause I miss you
I miss you, darling, yeah
I miss you, darling
I miss you, darling
Do you remember me outside your door?
I begged and pleaded for you to stay.
You wanted a man better than yourself -
that's not a man, that's something else (something else)
You cut your loses but you may have jumped the gun,
you'll be back I know, you've had your fun now
CHORUS
Well, it's time you took a fall
I'm tired of waiting on your call
There was a time when i'd give ya anything at all
But you wasted my time...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't mind
Well the place is bigger now, I'll get used to it
You figure how but there's no use in it
There's more room in the bed at night
I'm all alone but that's alright (that's alright)
When the fields are cracked and dry and all the crops are dead
Don't tell me that it's raining when you're peeing on my head
I've got reliable sources giving me a clue
They're the tired horses that are dragging you
Find your hand in my pocket and an ear in my mail
You're the worm in silk clothing that ate his own tail
Saw you out last night sunglasses in a bar
But everybody knows
With your Ringling brothers make up on your trapeze
Everybody's scratching from your circus fleas
Find your hand in my pocket and an ear in my mail
You're the worm in silk clothing that ate his own tail
And if I can't ignore you
I'm getting happy for you
I'm getting happy for you
You took my breath away now, I want it back
Don't say I'm in the red when I'm in the black
And if I can't ignore you
I'm getting happy for you
I'm getting happy for you
And if I can't ignore you
I'm getting happy for you
Lying on cotton sheets
You wish they were silk
If you can't get cream
Settle for milk
Everything you touch
Seems to shatter
Egg shells and newsprint
Torn and tattered
There's a little boy with an arrow
You're so scared of
You shot the cherub
You shot the cherub
You finally got your [Incomprehensible]
On a sinking ship
Put your wild elephant to sleep
Eat your blue chip
There's a little boy with an arrow
You're so scared of
You shot the cherub
You shot the cherub
It's what it is and what it's not
Keep your guard up, get your shots
Take off your rose colored glasses
Your Sunday school classes are free
How we're screaming at you
Dangling on your knee
There's a little boy with an arrow
You're so scared of
You shot the cherub
You shot the cherub
You shot the cherub
You shot the cherub
You shot the cherub
You shot the cherub
Words, the writing's on the wall
But it's Greek to me
I heard some [unverified] singing
But it don't speak to me
Not this sweet to me
My ears are always burning
'Cause I think I'm the one
But if you're concern
You can stop me from
Chasing the sun
I saw, saw your light [unverified]
And they brought down the house
We're on another caper
Bad motel wallpaper
And I screwed them all
Yeah, that's all she would
My ears are always, burning
'Cause I think I'm the one
But if you're concern
You can stop me from
Chasing the sun
Stars are all lined up
For the [unverified]
And the fingernail clippers with the moon
In the autumn sky
Still wondering why I'm here
It's hit or miss
Then again, piss
It's the death march
And though, the things
That don't kill us
Will make us last
It still kicks our ass
My ears are always, burning
'Cause I think I'm the one
But if you're concern
You can stop me from
Use at your own risk
Double helix
Meth lab motel specters
Narcoleptic dreams
Corrode you
Serotonin owns you
Swing low now suede hollow
What follows is foul
Oh, there she goes belle epoque's left us again
Oh, there she goes belle epoque's left us again
Dispatches from a devonian sea
I don't think you can hear me
Voices from the bottom of the well
Black magic mistress making white mischief
Foolish Rookie years
Running on fumes, something wicked this way
Becomes you
Oh, there she goes belle epoque's left us again
Oh, there she goes belle epoque's left us again
Someday man and machine will
Lay down in the field together
Like friendship and sand runs through your hand
They say that they do but one really understands
Raspberry chocolate
The protocols of the elders of zion
You stood before me in your naked beauty
I ruined you, you consumed me
Oh, there she goes belle epoque's left us again
Oh, there she goes belle epoque's left us again
Someday man and machine will
Well, I'm across town and I can't be late
I know Becky's off work at quarter to 8
When I get there, I know I'm in love
But this thing on her hand stands between us
Well, I go to the bar and I don't care
If we can't get together, man
I'm happy to stare when I'm in there
Everyday, I try to pick her up but I know what she'd say
'I'd go out, if it wasn't for him'
Well, I'd go out of town with you
if it wasn't for him
All I ever wanted was to be with her
But the only thing between us was on Becky's Hand
Becky's Hand
Becky's Hand
She says darling, call me up a night
Try to keep your attention
Pick a fight
If I show up at your back door
Means I'm lonely and I'm hungry
Waiting for you
Well, 'I'd go out, if it wasn't for him'
Well, I'd go out of town with you
if it wasn't for him
All I ever wanted was to be with her
But the only thing between us was on Becky's Hand
Becky's Hand
Becky's Hand
Well, I saw her with a ring on her hand
Why she loves him I don't understand
Becky, I know it ain't your fault
He's a good man
Well better then some men, at all
'I'd go out, if it wasn't for him'
Well, I'd go out of town with you
If it wasn't for him
All I ever wanted was to be with her
But the only thing between us was on
Becky's Hand(x3)
On Becky's Hand
Becky's Hand(x2)
Yes, on Becky's Hand
Yeah, Becky's Hand
I want a ticket
Out of boredom
(Now was)
Something to do
With your hands and mouth
You made
A fair hand at catch
You raised the house
When you struck the match
You fooled us all
In hearts & heads
You fooled us all
It starts in bed
In too long
Out with the young
Now, forgiven
Just like a
(Dull)
You fooled us all
In hearts & heads
You fooled us all
It starts in bed
(Words said)
I long forgot them
(You)
Have your hold over my head
I want a ticket
Out of boredom
(Now was)
Something to do
With your hands and mouth
Loose ends
But never tied
It's not like
I never tried
You fooled us all
In hearts & heads
You fooled us all
It starts in bed
You fooled us all
In hearts & heads
You fooled us all
Piece of string holding everything together
Unraveling, about to give way
A silver sphere, baring scar
There's a wheel somewhere about to lose control
I wanna hear my voice in the den
I wanna hold your hand, touch your skin
Wilson Boulevard
Camera 1-A
The kettle boils and overflows
They paint the prison walls pink
Flood gates are opening
The ivory tower sings
I wanna hear my voice in the den
I wanna hold your hand, touch your skin
Wilson Boulevard
Camera 1-A
I wanna hear my voice in the den
I wanna hold your hand, touch your skin
Wilson Boulevard
Your blue door that I walked through before
First Sunday kiss I could not resist
Well, have you come to tell the truth?
Are you tired of roaming too?
Would you go around with me?
Would you take me out at two or three?
Would you lie to me with the cheapest form of flattery?
Surprise me and read between my lines
Three shades of red when I heard what you said
White knuckle road, I'm going down
Would you go around with me?
Would you kick me out at two or three?
Would you lie to me with the cheapest [Incomprehensible] flattery?
Surprise me and read between my lines
Between my lines
Your blue door, it won't let them in anymore
And wind blowing through your screen
The candle's burning clean
I'm not green, I'm not green
Would you go around with me?
Would you take me out at two or three?
Would you lie to me with the cheapest form of flattery?
Surprise me and read between my lines
Your blue door that I walk through once more
Your red ripe fruit, all hell breaks loose
Would you go around with me?
Would you kick me out at two or three?
Would you lie to me? Will I be your favorite [Incomprehensible]?
Surprise me and read between my lines
You don't need much in a man
Just a job and a set of teeth
I got that but not much more
Set a part from the average creep
You set your sights low on me now so
I won't disappoint
We never use the word 'love'
For this thing that we've got going
You don't need a credo
Just a healthy size lapedo
That's me
Yeah, that's me
I hear you're like them tough as nails
While I break like a twig
I'm good at feeling sorry for myself
I'm lazy as a pig
You told me more than once
That you've been burn by worse than me
A dozen lovers have all lined up to solve your mystery
It hardly takes a genius
Just a human with a penius
That's me
Yeah, that's me
Yeah, that's me
You're telling me, you're here with me temporary
That's me
You're telling me I'm history
When he comes along
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I hear you're like them tough as nails
While I break like a twig
I'm good at feeling sorry for myself
I'm lazy as a pig
You told me more than once
That you've been burn by worse than me
A dozen lovers have all lined up to solve your mystery
It hardly takes a genius
Just a human with a penius
That's me
Yeah, that's me
Yeah, that's me
Yeah, that's me
Twenty-eight, twenty-six
The three alarm at five o'clock
Sirens getting louder
Saw you in your K car
T-boned by the road star
Walkin' off with out a scratch
It's easy to break
It's the waiting that kills you
It's hard to say
I think we're going down soon
Sour grapes, yeah, we've got 'em
Don't need rain, just a glass of water
Yeah, it's lonely at the bottom
It takes everything I've got
From sinking like a stone
Grease is covering up the lens
It's hard to see, sitting in the nose bleeds
Found your bag of fishing lures
Never found the one that got away
Are you missing what you never had?
It's easy to break
It's the waiting that kills you
It's hard to say
I think we're going down soon
Sour grapes, yeah, we've got 'em
Don't need rain, just a glass of water
Yeah, it's lonely at the bottom
It takes everything I've got
From sinking like a stone
Did you have a good time there?
Did you settle the lines there?
Did you finally find what you need?
Never knew there were two
Ten o'clocks in the same day
Lying on your back
You're tired of staring at the ceiling
When are we leaving?
It's easy to break
It's the waiting that kills you
It's hard to say
I think we're going down soon
Sour grapes, yeah, we've got 'em
Don't need rain, just a glass of water
Yeah, it's lonely at the bottom
It takes everything I've got
From sinking like a stone
Sour grapes, yeah, we've got 'em
Don't need rain, just a glass of water
Yeah, it's lonely at the bottom
It takes everything I've got
Sit with me in the gutter for a while
Come on, come on
Just give it a try
Most people die in their beds you say
If we stay on our feet we might get away
Red dye #40
They're taking you to court here
You're a third rate, first date is clear
I'm a man on the move or a man on the make
Just deal me out I'll get what I can take
Red dye #40
They're taking you to court here
You're a third rate, first date is clear
Standing with my black socks on
Looking just like a [busted john]
From the [mad hat] to the stand up franks
Now the walk to your door doesn't seem like the thanks
Now you're gone, gone like cotton candy
Well the butcher paper comes in handy
Red dye #40
They're taking you to court here
You're a third rate, first date is clear
Red dye #40
They're taking you to court here
You're a third rate, first date is clear
Over the airwaves, under the radar
Say it again it's not sinking in
Losing transmissions, family traditions
You can lead a boy to water
But you can't make him listen to you
And I can't hear a single word you're sayin'
When I'm playin'
Turn the radio down, the signal's fadin'
Try to listen, I'm losing transmissions
Winter of '99, borrowin' all the time
Robbed Peter then we sucker punched Paul
Temporarily disconnected, worse than you expected
I'm sorry but I'm tuning you out of my addled brain
And I can't hear a single word you're sayin'
When I'm playin'
Turn the radio down, the signal's fadin'
Try to listen, I'm losing transmissions
Broken records play for free
Keeps playing, are you calling my name
I can't hear you
50 yard stare, is there anyone there
We cruise the stars but the world ain't ours anymore
Play it again, I always blow it
The check's in the mail but the cops don't know it
I'm sorry but I'm tuning you out of my addled brain
And I can't hear a single word you're sayin'
When I'm playin'
Turn the radio down, the signal's fadin'
The signal's breaking
And I can't hear a single word you're sayin'
When I'm playin'
Shout out an alert in the flakin'
The signal's breaking, I can use it to awaken
Well, I tried to listen, I'm losing transmissions
Losing transmissions
I can't hear you, losing transmissions
Got some wine, I got a dozen roses
Gotta get there before the Rock closes
Before the shit [dumped out] in the street
I watch you work that's always a treat
Serving up she's got her eye on me
She's never happy but they call her Glee
What you want say it always clear
She'll fill your cup while she [wipe] tear
They want to take an apple from your tree but you won't let them
All the darlins' of the underground
They come to see you come to stare you down
There's no glory washing ash trays
When all your friends have gone to bed
One more chins up to hard luck stories Glee----
Don't want to hear about your old flames
I hope they go to an early grave
I'm jealous now can't you tell
Am I the only one ringin' your bell
They want to take an apple from your tree but you won't let them
All the darlins' of the underground
They come to see you come to stare you down
There's no glory washing ash trays
When all your friends have gone to bed
One more chins up to hard luck stories Glee----
The drunken ass at the bar hollars
The world's small and it's geting smaller
Get yourself out of whack
When your friend talk behind your back
They want to take an apple from your tree but you won't let them
All the darlins' of the underground
They come to see you come to stare you down
There's no glory washing ash trays
When all your friends have gone to bed
One more chins up to hard luck stories Glee----
Come on Glee
Come on Glee
The Hero's welcome home
He found a bit unsettling
When the movie rights were sold
He gave it all to charity
He was pleased to get the call
He hosts a gold diggers ball
He was there a shotgun blast
Knocked him off his pedestal
Common test tube kids
Don't forget your meds
Get set for party cocktails
A billion light years away
A place to rest my bones
They've found evil's home
23rd chromosome
Murder, famine, love and hate
The side effects of fate
He finally hit rock bottom
But he was still clawing for the abyss
There'll be no more goosesteps where we're going
Only sex and violins
Singing bottle hymns
Amputees find limbs
Get set for party cocktails
A billion light years away
A place to rest my bones
(The seeds are sown)
They've found evil's home
23rd chromosome
Murder, famine, love and hate
The side effects of fate
Ba ba ba bamâ¦
We've finally said goodbye
To the graveyard of by-rown memories
We've entered a new age
Of organ found deliveries
Kingsey found a home
For the terminal umbilicals
Ms. Anne Thrope gathers in her arms all the disfigured and unloved
Gazing at the stars
Jupiter and Mars
Get set for party cocktails
A billion light years away
A place to rest my bones
(The seeds are sown)
They've found evil's home
23rd chromosome
Murder, famine, love and hate
[Verse 1:]
I've been hoping the new dawning
May bring with it
Some peace within our lives
Because there's too many
Little babies crying
Too many soldiers on front lines
That's why I say
[Chorus:]
If now and then
We looked over our shoulders
Maybe we'll find
Our way ahead is so much clearer
We'll know to leave behind
All of the fears that
Hold us back from
Being all we can
How free we'd be to go
On in life and fulfill our destiny
[Verse 2:]
Grudges we bear
Only get us nowhere
Much better to release
And free your mind
Well it's not too late
To right the wrongs that we've made
The future's tomorrow
The limit's the sky
[Pre-Bridge:]
When it all seems so crazy
We wage war after war
Seem we'll fight till
We're no more
[Chorus x2]
[Bridge:]
Just as long as
We pull together
I know we can make it through
