Wrapped in a blanket of hope
Asleep in the of dreams
My step into eternity was not what it might have been
Or not at all
For who knows which way the wind is gonna blow
I’m waiting for your gentle whisper
Distant child, my flower
Are you blowing in the breeze?
Can you feel me?
As I breathe life into you
In a while my flower
Somewhere in a desert haze
I know one day you’ll amaze me
An act of balancing, imagining the moment I can be
Looking deep into your eyes
For now a mystery
Or not at all
For who knows which way the wind is gonna blow
I’m waiting for your gentle whisper
Distant child, my flower
Are you blowing in the breeze?
Can you feel me?
As I breathe life into you
In a while my flower
Somewhere in a desert haze
I know one day you’ll amaze me
2 hearts in the hands of time
Your love bleeds into mine
I’ll be with you forever
And give you everything I am
Want you to understand
It’s you and I together
Distant child, my flower
Are you blowing in the breeze?
Can you feel me?
As I breathe life into you
In a while my flower
Somewhere in a desert haze

turn the ugly light off god
wanna feel the night
everyday it shines down on me
don't you think that i see
don't you think that i see what it's all about
hard to look the other way
while the world passes me by
and everyone is trying to bum me out
it's a pretty big world god
and i am awful small
everyday they rain down on me
flower in a hailstorm
flower in a hailstorm
i'm living for the drought
i could throw it back at them
but then i play their game
everyone is trying to bum me out
when i came into this world they slapped me
and everyday since then i'm slapped again
tomorrow's king: an unsightly coward
you see, I know i'm gonna win
turn the ugly light off god
don't wanna see my face
everyday it will betray me
don't you think that i know
don't you think that i know what they're talking about
if they step on me tonight
they're gonna pay someday
everyone is trying to bum me out
She dreams of the country
her eyes go far away.
She wishes for flowers
He says, "Perhaps in May."
The city always was gray
the reflections of his eyes.
And she knows he liked it that way
And that way he shall die, well...
She's always known,
that there was something more.
There's this hunger in her belly
like an instinct it tells her that there's something more.
This living shouldn't be called living
'cause it's really only half a life.
She's a flower that grows despite cement holes
And she will survive, she will survive.
She's a rare breed with violet eyes
and leafy limbs.
In conversations she looks for cracks
to dig her roots deep in.
And her ways come up like daisies,
she pushes her head to the sun.
She says "I am content here to grow
despite the steel frost that consumes everyone."
She's always known,
that there was something more.
There's this hunger in her belly
like an instinct it tells her that there's something more.
This living shouldn't be called living
'cause it's really only half a life.
She's a flower that grows despite cement holes.
And she will survive, she will survive.
In the end these steel cages will consume us
and like coffins ignorance will take us in and
fashion don't mean anything
'cause fashion cannot be our friends.
And when all else fades away
and the city falls into its sleep.
We'll still have flesh, blood, bones and
our soul to deal with so we should
dig our roots deep.
Always known,
that there's something more.
There's this hunger in our bellies
it's like an instinct it tells us that there's something more.
This living shouldn't be called living
'cause it's really only half a life.
She's a flower that grows despite cement holes.
And we will survive, we will survive, we will survive, we will
Every time I see your face
I get all wet between my legs
Every time you pass me by
I heave a sigh of pain
Every time I see your face
I think of things unpure unchaste
I want to fuck you like a dog
I'll take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of
Is everything I'll do to you
I'll fuck you and your minions, too
Your face reminds me of a flower
Kind of like you're underwater
Hair's too long and in your eyes
Your dick's a perfect "Suck me" size
You act like you're fourteen years old
Everything you say is so
Obnoxious, funny, true and mean
I want to be your blowjob queen
You're probably shy and introspective
That's not part of my objective
I just want your fresh, young Jimmy
Jamming, slamming, ramming in me
Every time I see your face
I think of things unpure unchaste
I want to fuck you like a dog
I'll take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of
Is everything I'll do to you
I'll fuck you till your dick is blue
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy's dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Bring Sally up and bring Sally down

Lyrics by chris cornell
Music by kim thayil
All of seventeen
Eyes a purple green
Treated like a queen, she was
On borrowed self esteem
She would do a dance
A painful masquerade
Spinning you into her web
Along her vain parade
In her uniform
Studded brass and steel
Kissing lipstick, napkin stains
And smearing sincerity
Along her vain parade
Along her veins
Time crept up on her
She's early gray
Her reflection looks concerned
Every time I see your face
I get all wet between my legs
Every time you pass me by
I heave a sigh of pain
Every time I see your face
I think of things unpure, unchaste
I wanna fuck you like a dog
Take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of
Everything I'll do to you
I'll fuck you in your union suit
Your face reminds me of a flower
Kind of like you're underwater
Hair's too long and in your eyes
Your lips are perfect suck-me size
You act like you're 14 years old
Everything you say is so
Obnoxious, funny, true, and me
I wanna be your blow-job queen
You're probably shy and introspective
That's not part of my objective
I just want your fresh young Jimmy
Sliding, slamming, ramming in me
Every time I see your face
I think of things unpure, unchaste
I wanna fuck you like a dog
Take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of
Everything I'll do to you
Here we stand again
In the year 1999
But you're so far
But yet so close
And in the ancestral rays of the sun
We're passing time in the video store
Remembering all the things
That we were
But I've been pushed back
To the cradle
Though I believe I'm bigger now
Although I'm lonely as a flower
In the alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lazy sun
Alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lazy sun
In my day
And I swung the door wide open
Yes I've done my deeds adorned
When I crashed into your building
And I hope you don't cry to long
Huddled in debris land
But tomorrow's perfect
Tomorrow's Tuesday
In the alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weepin'
Alabaster lazy sun
In my day
Alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weepin'
Alabaster lazy sun
In my day
But darlin' don't you weep
Silver and gold
Aren't we lonely as a flower
Climbing above these walls
Aren't we lonely as a flower
Climbing above the walls
Well let's forget these stupid buildings
Come on my lover take the fall
In the alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lazy sun
In my day
Alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lazy sun
In my day
In my day
My day
My day
I can remember when
Rock 'n' roll was somewhat of a God
Leaving us naked and so alive
But now it's just a two day masquerade
Lost in the storming of the north
someone warm up his own beloved
a feeble flower of the north
No one can hear their sos
but could someone ever care less,
of those two flowers grown in frozen grass?
She was brighter than a star
he loved to watch the rain
and just like a trick of life
they departed in winter
Two frozen hearts sleep in the dust
bonded by time in tears and rust
in the darkest hall of winter lust
No one could hear their sos
and no-one could ever care less,
about two creatures laid to rest
My heart is a flower
That blooms every hour
I believe in the power
Of love
Well, I'm dancin' on some meadow
Well, it's soft as a pillow
Whoa, I pray that we'll go back
To love
I'm gonna preach on love over that fear
And whenever I'm alone, please be near
I know there's darkness before the dawn
Tomorrow's comin' and yesterday is gone
Gonna give my baby a bit of strength
Fall asleep in her arms and drift away in the plain
Gonna go out walkin' in the mornin' light
Well, I know that my tomorrow gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Well, I'll never shout at her
Well, of course, I, I forgive her
Oh, please, Lord, deliver me
To love
I'm gonna preach on love over that fear
And whenever I'm alone, please be near
I know there's darkness before the dawn
Tomorrow's comin' and yesterday is gone
I'm gonna give my baby a bit of strength
Fall asleep in her arms and drift away in the plain
Gonna go out walkin' in the mornin' light
Well, I know that my tomorrow gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
(Preach on love, whenever I'm alone)
Gonna be alright
(Preach on love, whenever I'm alone)
Gonna be alright
(Preach on love)
My heart is a flower
That blooms every hour
I believe in the power
I believe in the power
Of love
Don't bring me flowers to my bed, I don't wish you to know
It's time to find myself again
As cold as houses on your street, as hollow as my own
I hope you wish them all away
chorus
Time to say goodbye, bye to the bad bad girl
Time to say goodbye, bye to the bad bad girl
Don't bring me flowers to my bed, she got what she deserved
I told her I am of my time
As cold as houses on my street, as hollow as my own
I hope you wish them all away
chorus (x2)
Lady!
So many nights he was
Hoping
If you're feeling just the
Same thing that he's
Feeling for you
Now he knows that you do
'cause you told him yesterday ...
He's depending on the words you say
Flower!
What will your friends say?
My flower
Now the time has come
When you just better
Make up your mind
Do you love him then shine
Don't believe in what they say
If they're friends they love you anyway
Flower
If you love him say his name
You can make him feel the same
Oh you're the deep sleep
That he needs
Under this black moonlight
Flower
Take his hand and pray he knows
You're his never fading rose
He'll be the deep sleep
Thet you need
The only inspiration for all time
Tell me
Why do you linger?
His beautiful eyes
Waiting to show you're in heaven
And bring you flowers
If you love him ¨c love is pain
If you yon't then go don't play this
Game
Flower
If you love him say his name
You can make him feel the same
Oh you're the deep sleep
That he needs
Under this black moonlight
Flower
Take his hand and pray he knows
You're his never fading rose
He'll be the deep sleep
Thet you need
For a long time I've been walking my way of live alone
Always thinking my heart is min
I can do everything it's my own
I had my friends I had my home
I had my music and I never felt alone
I wanna thank you to be here
I need you like a flower needs the sun
Big friendships little wars crawling through my live
There was no reason to stand up all the time
With this things I was satisfied
‘ til you came into my live
And now my soul fades away
I wanna thank . . .
I know I'll see you again
So I keep waiting for you
Take a decision
Tell me what is on
Since the time we were together
We walked on seperate ways
And I told you that I'll wait
As long as I could
But how the time has come for us
Tell me what you want
I don't want to wait forever
Let us live again once more
My love you're so beautiful
Like a flower
I want to touch you, to kiss you
To feel your power
Sweet thing you fill my heart
With hope, love and desire
You're my flower
Sweet thing talk to me now
Are you thinking what I'm thinking
I wanna know your name, I wanna know everything
I wanna know the secrets that you're keeping
I wanna know where you go, I wanna know where you live
I wanna know what you look like when you're sleeping
Yeah, say goodbye, say goodbye
That's all she wanted to do
She tried to fight, tried to fight
But they wouldn't let her move
They took the only thing that she could offer
To somebody that she wanted to love
Flower
It's hard for her to sleep
It's been that way for so long
Don't you cry, don'you cry
That's not what she wanted to do
She tried to fight, tired to fight
But they woldn't let her move
They took the only thing that she could offer
To somebody that she wanted to love
Flower
Please don't take it from me
Please don't take it from me
Mister won't you let me be
Please don't take it from me
I only wanted to be in love, only want to be in love
Flower
It's hard for her sleep
It's been that way for so long
The seed's been planted deep
And now her flower's gone
Flower in vain - I hit the wall so well
Here I am
Scarlet so rare is running from my lips
Kiss me again
No use in praying
No Hallelujah tunes
Come down and sway on this late afternoon
Well I'm flowing - I am going
and I'll take it far from here
I'm going - see me flowing
I let you go my dear
Flower in vain - got me on my knees
Finaly
I hurt myself - It took me by surprise
Sharp as hell
No use in praying
No Hallelujah tunes
Come down and sway on this late afternoon
Well I am flowing - I am going
and I take it far from here
I'm going - see me flowing
and let you go my dear
Well I'm flowing - yeah I'm going
and take away your fear
(Marcella Detroit)
It happens so fast so slow
You're so unaware
Even when he's gone he's there
It's by your own admission
You wanna let it go
But it's the only way you know
He did a number on your head;
But one day he'll be sorry
For everything he did
You're a flower
You'll always be a flower
Remember who you are
A saint, a light, a star
You're a flower....
I watch you when you're walkin'
Shoulders down to there
Apologizing to the air
In his defense you're talking
Words are on parade
But i don't believe a word you say
If i could only change my sex
He wouldn't be so tough
Without that thing between his legs.....
You're a flower
You'll always be a flower
Remember who you are
A saint, a light, a star
You're a flower......
He never gave you any room
He must be so afraid
Of what you could bloom into
Bloom into!!!!!!
You're a flower
You'll always be a flower
Remember who you are, you're a
Flower
You'll always be a flower
We were lied to
We know the truth now, don't we
Pulled the wool over our eyes
There's nowhere to hide
Wear a flower in your hair each Monday
To show what side you're on
Wear a flower in your hair on Monday
To show what side you're on
Cause we're not laughing
And we're forgotten
We were lied to yet we sit and stare
At the television like we don't care
You were lied to now 2,000 men are dead
I can feel the rain pouring down
Upon our conscious in our heads
Wear a flower in your hair each Monday
To show what side you're on
Wear a flower in your hair on Monday
To show what side you're on
Cause we're not laughing
And we're forgotten
You were lied to, get off your ass
He picks a yellow flower on a Sunday afternoon
The love he had for her only he and God knew
The smile she gave him said all the unspoken words
With a glance in her eyes he saw a love so pure
(chorus)
Just as a boy can love a girl
And just as flowers can brighten your world
There's someone who died to show His love
The love you seek comes from above
He picks a white flower on a Friday afternoon
He never thought it would come so soon
She looks at him as she walks down the aisle
With every step she says "I love you" with her smile
He picks a yellow flower on a Sunday afternoon
And placed it in her hands just like he used to do
Time has changed the way their outside eyes see
But the love they feel inside is all they'll ever need
Just as a boy and girl can fall in love
Flower
Standing in a red coat she waits for the sun to rise
Wearing her rain boots cause she can't take them off
She doesn't mind the rain if he comes and visits her
Even if she gets just a little bit wet
Cause she's a flower
And she doesn't have a care
Yes she's a flower
And time has no meaning for a flower
So she's saving her love for the first one to arrive
Lunchtime comes though she isn't really hungry
As the people settle down with their various loaves (?)
She is one with mother earth and the oneness upholds her
Drawing her life from her mother's heart(?)
Cause she's a flower
And she doesn't have a care
Yes she's a flower
And time has no meaning for a flower
So she's saving her love for the first one to arrive
So the sun settles down and she waits for the night to come
Watching the boys as they make their best pitch(???)
But to her it's all a game and she laughs as she watches them
Waiting for the end (and she) ??? doesn't care
Cause she's a flower
And she doesn't have a care
Yes she's a flower
And time has no meaning for a flower
So she's saving her love for the first one to arrive
Cause she's a flower
And she doesn't have a care
Yes she's a flower
And time has no meaning for a flower
Yes she's a flower
And she doesn't have a care
Yes she's a flower
And time has no meaning for a flower
I'm not gonna leave you,
So don't fear for the
tears you need to cry.
‘Cause you are grieving,
And all of your feelings
burn a fire beneath your smile.
And we have the same blanket now,
The two of us were torn to pieces.
You don't know how brave you are,
You make me humble.
Ooh, I wish I had your strength,
but I know your soul so well
when it has fallen.
Ooh, you're the flower
that still stands in the storm honey
even though your heart is broken.
You always heard me,
When I was screaming
from the bottom of the gutter.
‘Cause I am grieving,
Slowly trying to ruin myself.
And you never let me die,
when my heart was barely beating.
You're the shining light in my eye,
you make me want to try.
Ooh, I wish I had your strength,
but I know your soul so well
when it has fallen.
Ooh, you're the flower
that still stands in the storm honey
even though your heart is broken.
Ooh, I wish I had your strength,
but I know your soul so well
when it has fallen.
Ooh, you're the flower
that still stands in the storm honey
even though your heart,
Even though your heart is broken.
I'm sorry that you're in so much pain.
I'm sorry that you're in so much pain.
I'm sorry that he had to let you down.
I'm telling you, it's gonna be ok.
I’m sorry that you’re in so much pain.
I'm sorry that you're in so much pain.
And I'm sorry that he had to let you down.
I'm telling you, it's gonna be ok.
All I've seen melts away
inside you, lover
water turns the blood to clay
flesh for flesh and heat for pain
our legs entwined
cycles aglow
in our eyes we are the fire
bringers discovered
flower red and stars collide
open to our hearts denied
You're my little flower, flower, flower
I remember when you were in my hands
Time falls like a shower when I see you flower
There's a place where grace will take me to you
I'll breathe through you
Under life you'll find me waiting for this
Pain to end with your kiss
Stay another hour flower, flower
Bloom under the light of the moon tonight
The only thing I'm sure is you're my little flower
Someday you will fade, only to blossom
Wanting, haunting
Long after your petals die and crumble
You're still the one I call my little flower
You're my little flower, flower, flower
Closer come be near winter's almost here
