The dreams are so real and the lies are so real
To be naive to the almight dollar
In our own minds could be our demise if we did not
believe in our mind and our power we see all the greed
and our progress denied
Our belief is Benin onto you
Faith within us adversity seen before
Now with the strength with our people we burn
[chorus]
Burning the bridges down
Burn them down to the ground
Do you believe in the death of a dream how could you
even allow it
We won't be denied by our own pride so leave us in peace
rather than war this war will be fought with hearts and
our minds you will not win so don't even try
Now this known so you leave us alone and all we can say
is we burn
Summer evil
Summer park
Get ready for the night to get real dark
As the walls surround you
A prescription to be filled
New method for the knife to find its kill
As the fog surrounds you
Here comes your ride down Waring Street
Are you ready?
Are you not?
I'm ready for whatever you have got
And I'm all about it
Simple pleasures
Squeeze to pop
Get ready for the temperature to drop
As the night surrounds you
we locked at the parking lot
bruised at the bottom of a well
and I'll see you in heaven babe
or else I will see you in hell
you can claw and kick
but it ain't really gonna do you any bit of good
cause the last time I turned away
oh how I wished that you would
well the only thing left in your life my love
is down at the end of the bar
relax and we'll go for a ride my love
awake in the stars
you faint at the sight of blood
at least that's what I used to think
but I know you much better now
and know that you just like to drink
you can climb your way
out of every fucking hole that you have ever dug
but you can't climb out of your grave
once all the damage is done
well the only thing left in your life my love
is down at the end of the bar
relax and we'll go for a ride my love
awake in the stars
(hold on lifeless boats
everyone's a swimmer
play along the safety lines
climb aboard with the sinners)
it's all a waste of time
Before we turn our backs on one another listen up
I want you more than what I can show
And you may know my real last name and that I fall
apart
But you will never know when I break
And I was falling from the sky
Whatever gets you through the night
You keep your darkest feelings safe inside an armored
How can I penetrate a lost cause?
If I let go you'd run away into your mother's
arms
Lay down your tired flag at my door
And I was falling from the sky
Whatever gets you through the night
All that is and all that guides me
I will follow through
And if there's an answer inside me
I will find that too
I will live like a stepchild cause my feelings are
brand new
And now I'm gonna come unglued
A final kiss
A telegraph of what I'll do to you
I will reek havoc on your sick heart
A farewell kill
A soft goodbye and then we'll never know
Protect me from all harm and let go
And I was falling from the sky
Whatever gets you through the night
All that is and all that guides me
I will follow through
And if there's an answer inside me
I will find that too
I will live like a stepchild cause my feelings are
brand new
Halfway down and I lick my lips under the pendulum
No more time to remove myself from the oblivion
All good intentions will rise
Feeling you close as you open your eyes
I will defeat you and leave you much further behind
You wanna be certain but now you can't stop it
Whatever will teach you and lead you to die
You picked up the habit and now you can't drop it
Whatever will tempt you and let you deny
And your reflection is making you cry
And your reflection is making you cry
Your nation will die
Your nation will die
Halfway down and I lick my lips under the guillotine
Slowly crack like a broken doll burning in gasoline
All good intentions will rise
Feeling you close as you open your eyes
I will defeat you and leave you much further behind
You wanna be certain but now you can't stop it
Whatever will teach you and leave you to die
You picked up the habit and now you can't drop it
Whatever will tempt you and let you deny
And your reflection is making you cry
And your reflection is making you cry
Your nation will die
One swing to bring down all your enemies, to kill a
swan
you can live in the past but let me tell you that I
I'm moving on
Now you tried and tried and then you tried again
It did no good
Now you know that a cross ain't nothing more than just
a piece of wood
You finally found yourself right along for the ride
And you're saving it all for the first time
You're lost you're found stuck in the turnaround, stuck
in the mud
I didn't know where I'm going but I know I got a , a
taste for blood
Now you lied and lied and then you lied again , it did
no good
Now there's nothing to save you from the chopping
block, of Hollywood
You finally found yourself right along for the ride
And you're saving it all for the first time
Yeah you're saving it all for the first time
Let's go to where we ain't supposed to go and stay a
while
I'll see you at the crime before I see you at the, the
fucking trial
Now you died and died and then you died again , it did
no good
Do you think that I'm crazy or do you think that I
misunderstood
You finally found yourself right along for the ride
Yeah, I don't know why I feel so hollow
Something's about to end
I don't know what it is I should have said
Yeah, I disappear and I resurface you just dig far away
I give you something more than words can say
This is a wave, This is a wave
This is a wave, This is a wave
Yeah, I don't know why I feel so hollow
Something's about to end
I don't know what it is I should have said
Hey you know something, you fucked me over
And I just got a couple words to say to you, and this is one of them
(Hoo, Hahahaha)
You got the tounge of a snake
You fought your way to my plate
And now you hang with the liars
while I get higher and higher
Been away for a long long time now
Once you're back you will see what I've become
You're public enemy one
And you were nothing but fun
I caught you down on the queen
and you know just what I mean
Been all over the god damn world now
once you're back you will see what I've become
Stabbed in the back of the heart
Oh yeah
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way, Mmmm...
Something in the way, yeah, Mmmm...
Something in the way, Mmmm...
I'm the one you love to be
She's the only one for me
All my favorite songs
Board the sinking ship
She comes to me
Yeah, she comes to me
Fight the goodly fight with me
She's the open fire to me
All my favorite songs
Board the sinking ship
She comes to me
Yeah, she comes to me
You and I into the wishing well
Play these songs and follow me
Bring the raven's feet and ring the bell
What we find we shall not keep
All my favorite songs
Aboard the sinking ship
She comes to me
Yeah, she comes to me
Hide your face in hell from me
She will overcome and be
All my favorite songs
Aboard the sinking ship
She comes
Yeah, she comes to me
Wink to yourself and impress everyone that walks
Get high and blend in with all that you see
Loosen it, loosen up, loosen all your trouble
And it only echoes you down
And if you asked me to stay
I would tell every secret I know
Oh yeah, she comes to me
Yeah, she comes to me
I wanna go where it's warm
I wanna go to where you were born
All I want is you even if I can't have it
Don't take me to a place I don't wanna go
Don't tell me something I already know
We're gonna learn everything from bad habits
And I give myself to the open water
And I give myself to the bleeding sun
I'm looking for something to take
I'm looking for a missing hot snake
Early bird gets an apple full of black maggots
Live it down till the day you die
Never look a needle in the eye
Open up, open really wide
You can't have it
And I give myself to the open water
And I give myself to the bleeding sun
I align myself with New England winter
And I give myself unto you
Drag it out, walk it home
San Diego
Let's go down and take a breath under water
Make like shipwrecks for a few centuries
You and I will relax into eternity
And become as bottomless as the sea
And I give myself to the open water
And I give myself to the bleeding sun
I will find you there through the foggy weather
And I give myself unto you
Drag it out, walk it home
Fighter pilot down upon the road
Where the house is supposed to be
No survivors in this tug of war
Ring around the rosary
Business swindles as the gavel falls
I can hear them singing through the walls
Less is more, less is more
Less is more, less is more
Fill the hole with what will satisfy
Where my heart is supposed to be
Chopping heads is coming naturally
Now it's down to you and me
Entertainment for the over bored
I can hear them singing less is more
You don't know who the hell you are do you?
In the pond we're cousins brother
Go ahead chop their heads right off
You're just like any of us
Baptized into the water
Scattered free into the garden
Play dead like a modern reptile
Let me see you smile
Fuck you
Fuck the rest of them
I live on my own planet
Baptized into the water
You had the time of your life my friend
On a go-kart
It makes you happy to know you're a star
of the grapevine
We're gonna put you right back where you were coming from
We're gonna get you every tuesday
Rainy days are following you down the window pane
Rainy days will wash away the color from your brain
Rainy days will shoot a cloud of grey into your vein
Rainy days will make you feel like everything's the same, hey
When you were younger your mama sang you a lullaby
And now you're older you want a piece of the big sky
Gonna put you right back where you came from
We're gonna get you every thursday
Rainy days are following you down the window pane
Rainy days will wash away the color from your brain
Rainy days will shoot a cloud of grey into your vein
Rainy days will make you feel like everything's the same
I wanna live in a poor house baby
Live in a poor house in the sky
I wanna live in a poor house baby
Live in a poor house when I die
And I will take my place behind the other criminals
in line
I wanna live in a poor house baby
Live in a poor house in the sky
I wanna live in a poor house baby
Live in a poor house when I die
And I've been to target practice
The four winds blow over my shoulder
A dark sky will carry me over
Everything below will turn to fire
All of mother nature will burn
I wanna live in a burned out basement
Live in a basement in the sky
I wanna live in a burned out basement
Live in a basement when I die
And I've been to target practice
The four winds blow over my shoulder
A dark sky will carry me over
Everything below will turn to fire
a midnight fallen angel comes
to drag you through the floor
as the chimes ring out you think about
all the things you've done before
then you pray
I hope I did my best to make the grade
well I may be broken hearted
but I found myself some pleasure in the pain
you pick up sticks and beg for wood
throw it on the fire
and you know that there's no turning back
when the flames get higher and higher
yeah come on
I hope I did my best to do you wrong
well I may be broken hearted
but I found myself some pleasure in the pain
turn me on I like what I've found
I want these crooked roses to wilt to the ground
turn me on I like what I've found
the time has come to take more gold
piss upon the pile
like a peg leg on a pirate ship
who never seems to smile
sail away
I hope I did my best to stay away
well I may be broken hearted
but I found myself some pleasure in the pain
turn me on I like what I've found
I want these crooked roses to wilt to the ground
why do you come to fucking rock the boat
I sure as hell am gonna stay afloat
did you do the things in life that you wanna do
did you do them just a bit too well
why do you come to fucking testify
you got wings but girl you'll never fly
did you do the things in life that you wanna do
did you do them just a bit too well
toilet paper baby when you cry
cause you're so full of shit it's coming out your eye
this is the sound of a rocking band
and behind my back I got some love in my hand
come on baby you're a loving supply
wipe that tear out of your fucking eye
did you do the things in life that you wanna do
All that I remember about that day
hangs inside a black picture frame
fix upon the colors that fade away
far away you burn like a falling star
she's the only face that I've seen
but the last man standing is all we are
as we say these words from afar
take me to the place where the danger lies
this is right where I wanna be
where I carved your name on the dead oak tree
far away you burn like a falling star
she's the only face that I've seen
but the last man standing is all we are
and I say (these words from afar)
run away and I'll follow
run away and I'll follow you to the darkest place on
Yes yes
I gotta confess
All the weight of the dawn
Yes Yes
There's blood on your best dress
And I know what you want
I want you gone
Oh no
You copped at the show
Now you're gonna get high
Oh no
There's nowhere to go bro
That's the look in your eye
I want you gone
I've been alone cause I'm feeling high
I threw my problems away
I feel the earth go up to the sky
Forty hours a day
Two times a week my sisters say
One a day to keep them away
Pick up the phone cause I'm on the line
And I got something to say
I feel that you and I are the kind
That'll throw it away
Two times a week my sisters say
One a day to keep them away
Yeah
So now you know what it means to wing it
Right at the top of the world
You didn't know that the shoes would fit you
Now you're under the gun
So now you know
Why it's so nice
As you look to the dawn
That's right
That feeling was nice nice
And I know what I want
If I'm a man
then you are the god of everything else
if I'm a man
then I'm gonna think of you when I'm all by myself
when the tears roll down your face
then you'll know
if I'm a man
then I'm gonna put you right up on the shelf
if I'm a man
then I got a cock that thinks for itself
when the tears roll down your face
then you'll know
(all right settle in now, that feels good)
transmission effect broadcast meat
(step to the side, start walking)
plastic (down second street) crushing buildings fall on
fat meathead
(all in black)
while lifting Volkswagen to save young blonde Barbie
(gather round for the downtown clown)
here comes the trash
(hey over there, I got something for you)
oh I'm sorry did I get some on you
oh, it'll wipe right up
hey hey hey hey
if I'm a man
then I'm gonna love you like no other man could now
baby
if I'm a man
then I'm gonna bring you on down to the gutter with me
now honey
when the tears roll down your face
You take me right up to the top of the world
Then you push me over the side
Like an addiction to a four-letter word
Victim of the Western decline
I made a promise by the side of the road
That I would bury my Goddamn halo...
-Chorus-
I got a heart made of black lining
I got a heart full of black
I got a heart made of black lining
I got a heart full of black
I'm trying to fight it but I don't know what for
There was something holding me back
I need to fight it more than ever before
Now I'm ready for the attack
I'll never be like what I wanna become
As long as you got a piece of the action
-Chorus-
I got a heart made of black lining
I got a heart full of black
I got a heart made of black lining
I got a heart full of black
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show meeeeeee!!!!
This doesn't happen to me everyday
I was feeling freer than life
I wouldn't have it any other way
Wanna feel like this all the time
You like to walk along the rocks on the tracks
So I shall attain my love back
-Chorus-
I got a heart made of black lining
I got a heart full of black
I got a heart made of black lining
Sink like a stone
Float to the surface
What we don't know
Can't really hurt us
You come to me
And I go to you girl
Under the trees
Behind the curtain
Hang love
Nothing's for free
Nothing's for certain
You need a plan
You need a purpose
You ought to be
A medical student
Learn about drugs
Become a person
Hang love
If you think that I am wasting my time
You had really better take my advice
I crossed the ocean for a bottle of wine
Because I needed what was mine
Think like a rope
Think like a murder
Never be done
Always go further
You come to me
And I go to you girl
Out of the blue
Into the purple
Hang Love
If you think that I am wasting my time
You had really better take my advice
I crossed the ocean for a bottle of wine
Because I needed what was mine
if I can fit in this cardboard box
you can close me in and seal the top
and in your legible penmanship
you can write these words on the package slip
doesn't matter where I reside
you can send this off to wherever you like
all I want is far away from you
you don't let anyone see you cry
you don't wanna live
you don't wanna die
and you mean everything to me
like a broken light on the Christmas tree
I can always erase myself
and draw these lines in somewhere else
all I want is far away from you
I will bury the season's change in you
and I hope everything stays the same for you
Do you garner fake claws?
Would you ever?
Do you cover your mouth when you cough?
Well you better
I feel like a great big cloud's right above me
I feel like a great big cloud's gonna rain
Are you with the right one?
Were you ever?
If you met the queen of thorns would you let her?
I'm ready to give myself a direction
I'm ready to beat myself into shape
Feel no shame
Is it safe to let go?
Well you better
Have you told everyone that you know that
you'll never?
I feel like a great big cloud's right above me
I feel like a great big cloud's gonna rain
Tell me why you stand in the pouring rain and get wet
with no one else around you
and isn't this a bit like a loner's tale
swat the flies
they will still surround you
I feel like a train
went straight through my spine
a night in your arms
has got me wanting to die
don't you think I know how the story goes
everyone only wants to fuck you
and you may think that all this is suicide
but I know I must hate to love you
I feel like a plane
went straight through my skull
a night in your arms
is like a dance with the devil
I'll never be that lost
I'll never be that lost again
tell me why you stand in the pouring rain and get wet
with no one else around you
and isn't this a bit like a loner's tale
swat the flies
they will still surround you
I feel like a plane
went straight through my skull
a night in your arms
is like a dance with the devil
better days are upon me since I sold you my soul
I wake up every morning with the milk in my bones
you can lay me down on a bed made out of lit cigarettes
I had to break away from a world that's full of
marionettes
oh yeah
there's a way I can burn in heaven
every single night
I've been dying to make myself come alive
come alive
people come and you know that people always will go
yeah but before I saw you I knew that you'd be someone
I'd know
you're always doing the things that everyone is talking
about
yeah and before we're through well you know that I will
scream and IÂ’ll shout
oh yeah
there's a way I can burn in heaven
every single night
I've been dying to make myself come alive
riding on down the open road
I'm on a straight line
yeah I was on my way to the holy ghost
when the devil rolled by
from the fire to the ashes the angels call
to find a home
didn't know what I had had till I found it gone
now I'm waiting all day long
for a century song
I'll sit and wait for a century song
write it all down before you die
the lesson I'm learning
yeah I was soaking wet in a cold black lie
that I couldÂ’ve been burning
like a choir from the rifle the bullets sing
to find a home
I don't care whatever you think the future brings
that'll only take too long
like a century song
I'll sit and wait for a century song
from the fire to the ashes the angels call
to find a home
didn't know what I had had till I found it gone
now I'm waiting all day long
for a century song
I'll sit and wait for a century song
like a century song
I don't know why you
Suck on your thumb and cry
All the fuzzy caterpillars turn into
butterflies
You wanna go where the flowers are nameless
and rainbows unfold
I watch the monkey make his habit
a halo
through a needle of gold
Left foot
Right foot
March to the drums and die
Hoist your favorite flag into the
breeze on the sunday sky
I made it back from the magical station
Where everything flows
A white lie turned to blood on the highway
where the purple winds blow
All my life all I wanted
was a best friend
Then i looked into the sun
A white lie took me far away again
Far away from
My little one
little one
little one
I'm wide awake but my mind's so far away
I can't remember a single thing you say
I've seen my own brain light up and it scared me to death
If you think I'm lying then I'm just wasting my breath
I've seen the light of milk the drunk white cow ((??))
I know the time and the place and the where and the how
I've seen all you give me before I rise and I fall
Lets go down and ring the bell at the levity ball
You're goin' out the same
I'll never hold down whats in your eyes
You say you wanted a kiss
Standing on the edge of feelin’
Seconds from the point of healin’
High enough to make a good impression
Stimulate the conversation
I wanna go off and hide
You’re colder than an arctic snow
Come anyway, anyway you want it
Falling energy let me go
This is where we left off last time
Still the same old thoughtless love-crime
All he ever wanted for his birthday
Kite slipped from his hand then flew away
I wanna go off and hide
You’re colder than an arctic snow
Come anyway, anyway you want it
Falling energy let me go
Send it around
It’ll never take me off the ground
Never alone inside
The future ship looks out
Send it around other worlds and
Send it around other worlds and
Send it around other worlds and
Send it around
Down the stairs the red ball bounces
Weigh me out in pounds and ounces
Marry Poppins flies among the witches
Win yourself a crown of stitches
I wanna go off and hide
You’re colder than an arctic snow
Come anyway, anyway you want it
I see you swinging through the air on a vine
I feel awake and I waste a smile
I like a soldier in the deadly sun
who ain't afraid to cock a loaded gun
in Vietnam
I know we're deep inside the enemy line
and that I could'e picked a much better ime
but you're the one who makes me feel more punk
and why I've come to love the loveless junk
in Vietnam
behind the cover of the camouflage
behind the glory of a losing cause
there is a soldier in the deadly sun
who ain't afraid to cock a loaded gun
in Vietnam
Standing on the edge of feelin',
Seconds from the point of healin'.
High enough to make a good impression.
Stimulate the conversation.
I wanna go off and hide,
You're colder than an arctic snow.
Come anyway, anyway you want it,
Falling energy, let me go.
This is where we left off last time,
Still the same old thoughtless love-crime.
All he ever wanted for his birthday,
Kite slipped from his hand and flew away.
I wanna go off and hide,
You're colder than an arctic snow.
Come anyway, anyway you want it,
Falling energy, let me go.
Send it around and levitate me off the ground,
Never alone inside the future ship of sound.
Send it around on the world's end...
Send it around on the world's end...
Send it around on the world's end...
Send it around...
Down the stairs the red ball bounces,
Weigh me out in pounds and ounces.
Mary Poppins flies among the witches.
Win yourself a crown of stitches.
I wanna go off and hide,
You're colder than an arctic snow.
Come anyway, anyway you want it,
Has the terrible danger that surrounds us
Become like a drug?
Are we more like strangers in a glass house
We're rich with the blood
How can you leave the black out?
You're only flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
When a blanket of winter is all around us
We have to stay warm
When there's no one there you can count on
You have to transform
How can you leave the black out?
How can you leave the black out?
You're only flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
How can you leave the black out?
You're only flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
