My reflection, dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover, I'm your zero
I'm the face in your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when you're really gonna need 'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
'Cause she's the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness
And loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness
And God is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness
I'm in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on
That I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself
For what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
Oh yes she's the one for me
See the people playing the punk game. Now it's over ain't that a damn shame. Like a brick that smashed through the window get a gun and show them what they know. Zero, that's what it means. Talk about the girl with the blond hair wake up one day and she's not there. There's one looking just like her but it's the wrong part of the picture.

Well I can hear him snorin' over the phone
Leaves boring messages on my machine
He's talkin' to me but there's nobody home
He don't go mano think's that is obscene
You're a zero on my rock-o-meter
You wanna get hot, go turn on a heater
Let's go 6-5-0

I'm not the same as I was when I was young - and neither are you
There's been a lot of changes in the both of us you said you see that too
I've wasted such a lot of time to find I was looking at the wrong things
If its an apology you're waiting for, you could wait a long TIME
I've wasted such a long time
Just to feel like a Zero
Life really sucks ya know when ya
Yeah feel like a Zero
I've wasted such a long time too
Just to feel like a Zero
You're not the only one who's held me in You said I broke your heart
It would've been the the other way around when I was young
but sooner or later we've all got to grow up
I dont know if I should tell you how I'm feeling
chances are you're laughing at me and tell me that I dont know
I'm not the same as I was when I was young
and neither are you
There's been a lot of changes in the both of us,
you said you see that 2
I've wasted such a lot of time to find I was
looking at the wrong things
If its an apology you're waiting for , you could
wait a long TIME
I've wasted such a long time
just to feel like a Zero
Life really sucks ya know when ya
yeah feel like a Zero
I've wasted such a long time too
just to feel like a Zero
You're not the only one who's held me in
You said I broke your heart
It would've been the the other way around when I was young
but sooner or later we've all got to
grow up
I dont know if I should tell you how I'm feeling
chances are you're laughing at me
and tell me that I dont know
What I'm saying
.....It's not my fault
Your life dreams are shattered
You're gone away
We've cried here for hours
And the hours turn to days
We know you regret this
Leaving us here
With portraits and memories
That we've held so dear
When I hear your name, it's not the same
No matter what they say, I'm not okay
And we started at zero and went different ways
Now we're all out here wasting away
And if we started at zero
Then how did things change?
It seems like just yesterday
We were the same
It's been three months since you left us
So far nothing's been the same
And my question without answer
Is am I the one to blame?
And he was such a good description
Of a favored future man
He spoke well of other people
And they said the same for him
When I hear your name, it's not the same
No matter what they say, I'm not okay
And we started at zero and went different ways
Now we're all out here wasting away
And if we started at zero
Then how did things change?
Feels like just yesterday
We were the same, we were the same
They say they're sorry
Well, what are they sorry for?
How can they possible know
What I'm going through?
I feel like no one's ever had to deal with the pain
That I'm dealing with right now
Just six months ago
Everything was fine or so it seemed
What turn of event
Caused him to go downhill?
His parents are devastated
His girlfriend's depressed
What was he thinking?
And we started at zero
And went different ways
Now we're all out here
Wasting away, wasting away
Wasting away, wasting away
And we started at zero
And went different ways
Now we're all out here wasting away
And if we started at zero
Then how did things change?
Seems like just yesterday
We were the same
We were the same
We were the same
Been doin' the math ever since you left
Pondering the properties of loneliness
Stacking your efforts right up against mine
You know I get the same answer every time
You take four hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put them all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
Oh, zero
Mmmmmmm...
I remember learning all of this back in school
I guess I never did apply it to me and you
So, I guess I'll be the one to carry the blame
Something times nothing always ends the same
You take four hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put them all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
Oh, zero
Mmmmmmm...
Every time I think of how hard you try
Baby, my blues just multiply...
You take four hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put them all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
A great big zero
I don't mind, rushing through traffic just to get dinner ready in time
And I, don't mind, calling when I'm late just to give you peace of mind
And I, don't mind, you staying out all night long hanging with the guys
But I do mind, when you look me right dead in the eye and you tell me lies
You see it pays to tell the truth
Look at what you had to loose
Should think before you do, did you not know the rules?
You see it pays to tell the truth, feel so sorry for you
You could've had it all, too bad you gotta fall
Now you leave, now you leave with zero (nothing)
Now you leave with zero (nada)
Now you leave with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth but you didn't do it
Now you live with zero (nothing)
Now you leave with zero (oh nada)
Now you leave with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth
Oh why I tried, giving you chances just to get your act right
And I, I tried, everything from praying to breaking things
For getting out of line
Those tears I've cried, they hurts so deep inside
That almost drained me dry
But now, it's time, for you to man up cause I'm taking back what's mine
You see it pays to tell the truth look at what you had to loose
Should think before you do, did you not know the rules?
You see it pays to tell the truth, feel so sorry for you
You could have had it all, too bad you gotta fall
Now you leave, now you leave with zero (nothing)
Now you leave with zero (nada)
Now you leave with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth but you didn't do it
Now you leave with zero (nothing)
Now you leave with zero (oh nada)
Now you leave with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth
I lie just to protect you, never to disrespect you
Cause what we have was so 38 special
And it was times that I heard niggas test you
But I ain't even ask, I was just waiting to catch you
But you caught me and everything was on me
It was time to face the music, everything was on key
And them lies sounded good, didn't it
Now you sick of me, now I'm supposed to leave with zero, is you kidding me?
One minus one equals none
And if you gonna live then you might live with some
But you gonn think about me every time you see my son
And I'ma think about you every time I see the sun, in the morning
It's gonna be times we get caught up in the moment
But don't turn your back on your man you belong with
Cause if you loose then I loose too
But if you cool then I'm cool too
Now you leave, now you leave with zero (with nothing)
Now you leave with zero, (oh nada)
Now you leave with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth but you didn't do it
Now you leave with zero, (oh nothing)
Now you leave with zero (oh nada)
Now you leave with zero

Stand frozen in forever's light.
Contorting into silent ice.
Beyond the father of the devil's grip.
Converting night into the only vice.
Well hovered over heads of slaves.
Out of reach for the commonplace.
Trashing mortality, nothing saved.
The simple ghost has been replaced.
Standing fast at the foot of nocturnes.
Sleeping well in the grip of bliss.
Overturning all of nature's watchings.
Ruling the darkness with an iron fist.
A simple dosage was all it took to turn me.
Into the shadow even to my kin.
I am the father to this ever sorrow.
I'd say I'm paying, but it's not my sin.
Sold into this chance. I feel no shame, just rage.
Blasting through this dance. I gladly pay its wage.
Old to never reach it. I am a second thought.
And as you can see I'll Rabidly accept my lot.
Sold into this chance. I feel no shame, just rage.
Blasting through this dance. I gladly pay its wage.
False in word. Pure in act.
Twisted and absurd. Perfect in the black.
Don't look twice, Into my eyes,
Forever is a dangerous Form of wise.
Ride the black ice of never. Smash, the cruel hands of time.
Learn the silence that will sever. Ties of mediocrity divine.
No risk, no gain. No risk, no gain. No risk, no gain.
Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
Find me, never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on on on on
Your zero
What's your name?
No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, of love
Can you climb, climb, climb higher
Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
No you're never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on on on on
Your zero
What's your name?
No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, of love
Can you climb, climb, climb higher
Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
Hope not!
Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
What's your name?
Your zero
What's your name?
No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, oh oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher
Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
Hope not!
Was it the cure?
Shellshock!
Was it the cure?
Hope not!
I still like going round
The old places from my past
Watching from the outside
In the hope they’ll take me back
It’s not my youth I’m after
It’s not the protection
I just cant seem to get on with the man that I’ve become
And all my life, I’ve been waiting for you
And all my time, I’ve been preparing for you
Training myself like a dumb dog
Restraining myself with chains
Teach the past to stand up straight
So I can make the present change
And all my life, I’ve been waiting for you, and all my time, I’ve been preparing for you
Never give up, It’ll never be the same, never give in, you’ve got to jump out of your frame
There’s comfort in self hatred
it reeks of “return to form”
leave the curtains shut keep out
the glitter from the sun
Bones crossed into a tangent hug
An awkward silence but a toothy grin
I wouldn’t mind changing into powder with you
If the moon doesn’t come and drag the evil in
Sick of noise and sick of song
writing words and righting wrongs
But I just keep going, I’ll keep on going
Moonbeams cause failure
Disaster and tiffs
Songs these days are too wordy
and the accents are all shit
And all my life, I’ve been waiting for you
And all my time, I’ve been preparing for you
Never give up, It’ll never be the same
Never give in, you’ve got to jump out of your frame
It doesn’t matter what you know
Or if there’s good times coming
It doesn’t matter that you’ll be ok
When the grey rain vinegars in towards your heart
There’s a river down your arm
And you cannae answer that
There’s a rumbling outside
And the whole house is shaking
the world conspires against you
Safety lines are thrown
You cant see for the gold dust in your eyes
Your past is made of failures of foundations of futures, it doesnae
Matter because you’re living for the moment
the moment is shit
It’ll soon be over, but that doesn’t help
When you can see around 7 corners
you’re aware of all possible potentials and outcomes
Oblivion or zero, It’s time to take control
Consequences vanish when you’re fighting for your soul
tell me that I’ll be ok, tell me without doubt
A shouting man running
I've been doing the math
Ever since you left
Pondering the properties of lonelyness
Stacking your efforts
Right up against mine
You know I get the same answer everytime
Chorus:
You take four-hundrend seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put 'em all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
Oh now zero
Ummm,ummm
Now I remember learning all of this
Back in school
Guess I never did apply it to me and you
So I guess I'll be the one
That'll carry the blame
Cause sometimes nothing
Always ends the same
Chorus:
You take four-hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
You put 'em all together
And you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
Oh nothing but zero
Ummm,ummm
Now everytime I think of how hard you cried
Baby by blues just multiply
Chorus:
You take four-hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put 'em all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Oh you get zero
Oh nothing but zero
Oh yeah zero
My reality is something weird
My unfriendly smile on my way
Nothing new this wearisome day
This world is full of narcissist
The girls dressed are just a put-on
Oops! I'm all thumbs, I'm not like you
Everybody's raping me. everybody's lying to me
Everybody's looking at me. everybody's laughing at me
So what! don't care what people say.
I'm going my way. I believe in my way
I'm better than you guys
I'm living for my sake, not for their sake, yeah!
I'm finding my way. I'm finding my love
I'm not stupid like you
All that I need is, I only need is selfless love
All I don't need is, I only need is selfless love
They think I'm a lucky girl
But I'm just doing what I want
Hey everybody, they're jealousy about me
You guys are wrong, be truth to yourself
Throw your guns & weapons right now
Let's enjoy your beautiful life with me
Everybody hates me. everybody's waiting for me
Everybody's hurting at me. everybody's hunting for me
So what! please leave me alone!
I'm going my way. I believe in my way
I'm better than you guys.
I'm living for my sake, not for their sake, yeah!
I'm finding my way, I'm finding my love
I'm not cheap like you guys
All that I need is, I only need is selfless love
All I don't need is, I only need is selfless love
I'm going my way. I believe in my way
I'm better than you guys
I'm living for my sake, not for their sake, yeah!
I'm finding my way. I'm finding my love
I'm not stupid like you
All that I need is, I only need is selfless love
There's no one here today 'cause someone took the light away
There's nothing in my heart, don't think I could even start to explain
I couldn't stand the pain of losing something so much a part of me
Though in reality you were hardly there in my heart
You were everything, everything
You were everything, everything
In these few hours, a breath of summertime has turn to winter rain
In such little time all my hope is gone, will it ever be the same?
All I ever wanted was to see your face
See a little smile for my little one and let you know, and let you know
You were everything, everything
You were everything, everything
Babe I did all I could just to give you life
I'd have done anything just to give you life
Life, life, life
Out there in the dark, your little spirit is lost without a home
Oh, don't be afraid, I'm thinking of you, no you'll never be alone
Someday, somehow when the time is right be an angel
Smile upon me and give your life to give your life
And give everything, everything
And give everything, everything
To give your life, to give your life, to give your life
And give everything, and give everything
Now there is a light in the dark, some will say
There is a grace up high
There is a beauty that some can behold
Not I, not I
There is a power that's felt from the shore
There is a force that won't break
But all of these things to me are no more
I've changed, I've changed
What in the hell have you done?
Cast aside all that you love
Sorrows you never out run
Zero
Nothing for you's ever good enough
Zero
Nothing makes you whole
How many times have you felt all alone?
How many tears have you cried?
Called out in vain for a God to behold
Inside, inside
How many fires you let die in your heart?
How many storms must you face?
Left out to fight for yourself in the cold
No faith, no faith
So nothing to lean on this time
Nothing is left to decide
All that you've known you deny
Zero
Nothing for you's ever good enough
Zero
Nothing makes you whole
Zero
Nothing for you's ever good enough
Zero
Nothing makes you whole
Go now, surrender
You can't take no more
And just cry out
Surrender, your faith is no more
What in the hell have you done?
Cast aside all that you love
Sorrows you never out run
Just look what you have become
Zero
Nothing for you's ever good enough
Zero
Nothing makes you whole
Zero
Nothing for you's ever good enough
Zero
Burn the city
With one
Peace stone
You ain't going nowhere long as he's the driver
You can ride with him but he'll never be the same, same, same
One look at ya tells me that you wanna be taken higher
See the problem is you wish he could make you feel the way I do
Why waste time when you know I got it?
C'mon girl, you know you want it
You know it's impossible
To get what you're looking for from him
He can't do it like me, I'm goin' prove it
I got a question can you help me out?
How many people can do it like me? Zero
Keep it so cool like me, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody else
That can make it so hot like me, zero
Take it to the top like me, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody, zero
It ain't a good look without me in your corner
You can rock with him but he'll never fill my space, space, space
One look at him tells me that he ain't the right one for you
I don't understand why you settle being here in second place
Why waste time when you know I got it?
C'mon girl, you know you want it
You know it's impossible
To get what you're looking for from him
He can't do it like me, I'm goin' prove it
I got a question can you help me out?
How many people can do it like me? Zero
Keep it so cool like me, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody else
That can make it so hot like me, zero
Take it to the top like me, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody, zero
There's only one guy that can make you feel right
That's me, myself and I
So why even try to make it work with him
When you know I'm the original
How many people can do it like me? Zero
Keep it so cool like me, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody else
That can make it so hot like me, zero
Take it to the top like me, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody
How many people can do it like me? Zero
Keep it so cool like me, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody else
That can make it so hot like me, zero
Take it to the top like me, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody else
Keep it so cool like me, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody else
That can make it so hot like me, zero
Take it to the top like me, zero
Girl, you know there ain't nobody, nobody, zero
All appeared new, and strange at the first;
Inexpressibly rare, delightful and beautiful.
I felt like one coming out of an upper room
To fret no more and walk abroad confirmed.
The houses shone in silence and the child in me
Stepped in so deep in this unshaded place;
A fine kingdom that meant to be home.
All things were spotless, pure and alive,
Free and immortal,
So I didn't want to know
What I was going to be.
You come around
You get me down
A promise made
You stand your ground
Nothing changes after zero
Every day is my tomorrow
You make a scene
You offer feeling
A promise fails
So bring the day
Nothing changes after zero
Everything becomes its hero
Raise the twilight but the day will be the same
Every day is my tomorrow
Come in the night
Take me alive
Fear is low
So tell me: What in monotomy makes you dance?
Your robotic grinding. A cracked mirror
And your painted smeared smiles
You are dying
The circles you trudge are shrinking
You fade
You find strength in denial
And meaning in the voids
When everything is shallow and cold
(Begin to end) When will your eyes flicker open?
What is the meaning of this dance?
A death rite?
You are drinking just to forget
And your desire to be similar. What's in a name?
Express yourself in cliches. That is a meat carnival
You find strength in denial.
Build walls where truth knocks
You hide behind others and smile through
screaming
You're a fake
Begin to end
Again to end
Moulded from plastic
Begin again
Again to end
Liar
Find a new way of dying
Though this is tried and true
Find a new way of dying
first you think it doesn`t matter
so many doors are open now
you`re scattering like light
and mistery is equal to anything
the future might hold
this is how it begins, then
a brigde to another place in your life
before you realize you can not leave
everything behind
just leave everything behind!
and the only reason you would know
is just because we can not be
in different places
now you`re on zero
you appear to be no more
than a shadow
tracks on white pavement
are up for the storm
up for the storm
at any given moment
it was always both
the tickle and the sorrow
the shining and the blinding
we are here in our hundred thousand pieces
nothing is like it was
there is nothing like it was
and the only reason you would know
is just we can not be
in different places
now you`re on zero
you appear more
than a shadow
tracks on white pavement
are up for the storm
first you think
it doesn`t matter
so many doors
do you know what I´ve be come and then every time I hope
can for give me I look back and all my life seems such a
mess
and my god forget me
do you even know me when I say goodbye when I secretly
fall
down when I feel the worst I hope you don´t feel the same
like a zero like me
do you feel the same when we get too close I know it´s in
my head now it´s late and everything will be ok and my
god forget me
I am here for the one last time now I´m afraid that I
keep
falling down there will be another time when you wanna
away when I secretly fall down
do you even know me when I say goodbye now I´m praying
so you think i'm a zero?
i ain't trying to be no one's hero
i don't give two shits about what you think
i live my life one day at a time
live yours how you want that's fine
just leave me alone and i'll just drink away mine
sit at home and sleep all day
wake up and drink my life away
do what i do when i wanna do it
and live my life until i choose
yeah so i've had a few
i'll have more before i'm through
and i don't care about anyone or anything
all i want is a beer in my hand
don't care about the name on the can
just crack it open and drink it down like a champ
grab the whiskey, pour it in a cup
grab the coke then drink on up
do what we do when we wanna do it
and live our lives to how we choose
still think i'm a zero?
i ain't trying to be no one's hero
i don't give two shits about what you think
i live my life one day at a time
live yours how you want that's fine
just leave me alone and i'll just drink away mine
goes down smooth when you're good and drunk
tastes even better when it comes back up
do what we do when we wanna do it
No Words
You can´t give me more than I - I wanted from you
You just tell me all these cold words, your lie’s
getting true
You see more inside of me than I wanted to show
You can’t give me more than I need – don’t want you to
See the past, see the past, see the past see that
everything’s broken
It’s over and out
Keepin’ next, keepin’ next, keepin’ next, keeping
everyone next to me - shut them out!
Can you find out
I can´t find out
Why are tears droppin loud
I’m frozen without you
Can you find out
I can´t find out
Why silence surrounds
I’m frozen without you
Left me in the moonlight tonight, I am fading like a
rose
You would never be a part of me now
Can you stop talking – Can you stop talking
Give up, give up - stop shedding tears just break with
Cause I can not find out – forgive, but my love´s
running out
See the past, see the past, see the past see that
everything’s broken
It’s over and out
Keepin’ next, keepin’ next, keepin’ next, keeping
everyone next
Eyoh, E-eyoh, E-e-eyoh, E-eyoh
Can you find out
I can´t find out
Why are tears droppin loud
I’m frozen without you
Can you find out
I can´t find out
Why silence surrounds
I’m frozen without you
Eyoh, E-eyoh, E-e-eyoh, E-eyoh
Don’t you find a reason?
I could try – but I want forget it !
Don’t you find a reason?
There’s one - no doubt about it!
Steppin on the brake
I can’t say yes, when I should say no
Steppin on the brake
From time to time I’m crashing
Can you find out
I can´t find out
Why are tears droppin loud
I’m frozen without you
Can you find out
I can´t find out
Why silence surrounds
I’m frozen without you
Can you find out
I can´t find out
Why are tears droppin’ loud
I’m frozen without you
I can not find out
You’ll never find out
To lose means to live
When I see you crying. And I know you're crying to get back with me. And I see you're trying. And I know you're trying to get back at me. I ain't got the time. I've made up my mind. You're just not my kind of girl. I can see you're lying. And you know its really plain for me to see. Its still me you're eyeing. Can't you see that you and I will never be. I ain't got the time. I've made up my mind. You're just not my kind of girl. I don't wanna be Right by your side. When I'm with you I'm not alright. And I don't, and I don't want you here with me. I can't help the way I feel. And I don't, and I don't want you by my side. If you're here with me I won't feel alright. When I see you crying. And I know you're crying to get back with me. And I see you're trying. And I know you're trying to get back at me. I ain't got the time. I've made up my mind You're just not my kind of girl.
(after a first verse, not on the album)
Fifth and MacDougal, crossing the street,
Last rose of summer I happen[ed] to meet
She greeted my face with the back of her hand.
I checked it for blood, made no reprimand
It's been a long time, I said casually,
She said June 21st, 1983
In a voice with inflections heard in my dreams
A long time ago, not so long as it seems...
"I'll buy you some coffee," I said "Come inside.
Tell me who's living, tell me who's died,
Whatever happened-- what was his name?"
Like all of the rest, he went back where he came.
chorus
Eight below zero, too cold to snow
Eight below zero, nowhere to go
Eight below zero, face to the wind
It must have been written I'd see you again
I asked how it happened she still remained
She laughed without humor, "I'd ask you the same.
You climbed up the ladder, stepped off the top.
You never were someone who knew when to stop."
"I'll stop when I'm buried," I said in reply
And ordered two pieces of blueberry pie.
She picked out the berries, neglected the crust.
"Like you," she said, "I never knew who to trust"
We never knew when, we never knew how,
Never got cheated, and look at us now.
You've got protection, your gamble paid off
But the fact you came back shows it wasn't enough.
chorus
It's eight below zero, too cold to snow,
Catching her drift, I made motions to go
But she stuck out her foot. My balance collapsed,
Fell to my knees with my head in her lap.
I made up my mind to leave it right there,
Rightly or wrongly, I didn't much care.
Familiar perfume from the lap of her dress
Kingdoms have fallen defending much less.
Eight to ten years for possession,
I'm living at the state hotel.
I guess I learned my lesson.
I guess I learned it well.
The judge says, "I got no discretion.
The law upon that point is clear.
Either got to put you up at state expense
Or let you walk away from here.
"I see you got a prior conviction.
That just about ties my hands.
They took away my power of decision.
I've got to honor what the law commands.
"You were indicted for conspiracy
to obstruct the right of way."
The plea was civil liberty,
But it wasn't a judge that day.
chorus
Possession, nine points of the law they say
Possession, take that boy and salt him away.
Possession, teach him how to obey.
They'd rather let a killer walk the street,
Than another damn freak like me.
Got a wife and kid on the way.
I've never had a nose for crime.
Someone passed me a joint one day,
And now I'm doing federal time.
Got a letter from wife that read,
"I just met another man.
It ain't that I don't love you, it said.
"I hope you understand."
Guess my luck ain't all that bad,
Smiling through my tears.
Seems that the D.A. knew my dad
Or I might have got 20 years.
Killer comes and a killer walks,
While I sit rotting here.
The scene of the crime is the ballot box,
And people who vote from fear.
chorus
2nd chorus
Possession, nine points of the law they say
Possession, take that boy and lock him away
Possession, I've come to understand
They'd rather free a man with some blood on his hands,
Spoken for, since the first new morning of the world
began,
Spoken for, slope of the mountain and the lay of the land,
Spoken for, roar of the water on the white sea sand,
Spoken for, the fruit of the valley where I make my stand.
I thought I heard a voice whisper in my ear,
A voice in the distance, but drawing near.
Spoken to, but they only hear what they want to hear,
Only when fighting for their lives does the truth ring clear.
Spoken by the face of a cliff scraping on the sky,
Spoken by the wind on the water as the waves roll high.
The winging of an eagle when it's on the fly,
The girl in the window with the laughing eye.
bridge
Spoken in the heat of the moment when the lamps are
low,
Spoken in dead earnest or in jest, or just for show,
Spoken in a lingo of the heart only lovers know,
Spoken in drops of blood that trickle on the virgin snow.
Spoken to, by the white winged crow in my sleeping ear,
Spoken to, the promise of a reckoning day draws near,
Spoken for, defended to the death at Wounded Knee,
Spoken for, every acre by acre from sea to sea.
With lines in the sand no one else could see,
I look at you and I think again. Is it true, was I bad. I just read all the things you wrote. Made me cry, made me sad. All I lost, all I lost will be found. All I lost, all I lost will return. All those times that I wanted you. All those nights that I cried. Somewhere in there's a better me. Though you claim that it died. All I lost, all I lost will be found. All I lost, all I lost will return. Now I know we will never be. And I know you won't try. I will stop you from hurting me. Stop the tears, learn to smile. All I lost, all I lost will be found. All I lost, all I lost will return.

Her I don't wanna see her. I don't wanna be her. 'Coz I know, if I try I will see her alive. 'Coz she is mine. And I will see her. Why should I see her ? Why should I be her ? 'Coz I know, if I try ...... And I have tried just everything I have tried to kill her but she's mine. And I have gone to everyone. To get her off my back but she is mine. 'Coz I know, if I try ....... Well I have tried to make it clear I've got to stay but she says she is mine. And I have asked her for a chance. To get on with it all but she is mine. 'Coz I know, if I try .......
Say hello. Please don't go, stay awhile. I won't cry. Nor will I be ugly. I don't see. Was not me. I was down. Down and out. Deep inside. You will find me, always me. One by one. We've come and gone away. Who's to blame? Why'd you stay away? I would cry. I was down. Down and out
Havin' fun is what you'd do. You would call and I would join in on the fun with you. Helping hands is how we were. Till I needed you and you weren't here. Found you in my heart. Found you in my brain. Found you in my head. And nothing seemed the same. We made a pact , we'd tied it down We said our friendship'd never get run down into the ground. You said no lies would come my way But the first came when we made the pact that very day. And that's all the help I gained. My friend you lied again. Using me was all you'd do. I didn't know the feeling inside me was always you You made me feel so insecure. But now I know you 'coz I ought to know. And now my life is changed. I can feel the pain
sotto voce count-off:
(hut, hut, hut...)
Three for a dollar, six for a dime,
I've got to have a talk with that girl of mine,
Driving me every which way but sane,
I want to get that feeling again.
Now, I'm just sitting, watching TV,
With the plug pulled out, there ain't much to see.
Think about the way things used to be.
Think about monkeys in a monkey tree.
chorus
She gets on my case when I'm feeling high,
I had a dream. Falling down. All they stare at me. I tried to be. Holding on. Nothing there for me. I felt bare. I did not know that feeling. You were there. And you calmed me down. You brought me back to life. I had to be. Rescued out. The walls were closing in. I can't believe. It's happening to me. I don't wanna see. All the lies. Am I really dreaming. Can I fly. Or am I really there. Am I really rolling in. My, my mama's calling. She's calling me back in. My, my mama's calling. She's teaching me. She's showing me the way. I cleared my head. I se
When I was just a kid. I knew not what life could be if. I had to go back now what would I hope for me now. I can only be what you say I ought to be and you know you lied to me 'coz now I just got to be. Old man sitting on the back porch waiting patiently, hating all I see, I don't wanna be. Old man sitting on the back porch waiting patiently, come over come over. If you could only see what I had not come to be wouldn't have tried to be what you have now grown to be. Now that you had to be what you thought you ought to see. Know you would do to me so now you just ought to be. Old man .... Now that we have gone so far, alone and done to see, what do we do to be so alone and love to be, I know the time that went by this you's who dying to be someone I never knew, someone who had to be Old man.....

Pits Of Thunder
Do the splits in New York City till the street scene robs
you blind,
Come back home to San Francisco and try to reclaim
your mind,
Get drunk in San Diego on a fifth of dago red.
Find a blanket under the freeway, rest your weary head.
Go down to Mexico in a red and white Chevrolet
Llegas a una vida sin historia
y empiezas a pensar
yo estaba aquí sentado y todo era gris.
Vístete este día de princesa
y dame una canción de amor
como las que te escribí.
Piensa en mi que pasen las horas
ven despiértame no tardes en volver.
Amo estos días cuando vienes y destrozas el lugar
tranquila al mundo se habré el cielo
y vuelve a respirar.
Siéntete tranquila como eres
en mis brazos siempre estas mejor
yo no te dejare jamás.
Piensa en mi que pasen las horas
ven despiértame no tardes en volver.
Hoy no ya no siento
regrésame el mundo en el que te ame.
Piensa en mi que pasen las horas
ven despiértame no tardes en volver.
Hoy no ya no siento
Zero niente novità e di lavoro faccio l'angolo di un bar
con un cappotto pesante e leggero con un futuro da cani bastardi
zero donne zero soldi zero amici zero sguardi
zero palle zero pugni zero stelle zero sogni
Ero prima di esser me il novemiladuecentotrentatre
avevo casa bollette e patente avevo un corpo ma dentro non c'ero
e ora sono trasparente non più bianco non più nero
sconosciuto al mittente finalmente zero zero
Zero e chi si muove più se anche l'amore è un noioso su e giù
e tu ragazza col sole tra i denti e un assorbente al posto del cuore
tu che a letto davi i punti e mi tenevi prigioniero
fra le gambe i sentimenti ma per te contavo zero
Non mi piacciono i perdenti voglio un uomo più sicuro
che è nel giro dei potenti quelli che ce l'hanno duro
Sì tutti numeri uno e va bene così
tutti in centro a Milano e nessuno che aiuta nessuno ma io
sono amico di un treno che passa di qui
e mi porta ogni giorno il profumo del mare e un vestito da zero
Zero è una malattia che non si viene più neanche in fotografia
in questo mondo di ricchi panini
come granelli di umana polenta
forse siamo dei bambini in piscine di placenta
siamo gli ultimi dei primi perchè il mondo non rallenta
Sì tutti numeri uno ma senza di me
come fate a far dieci a far cento a far mille
miliardi da zero...
Senza gli zero
chi se ne frega dell'acqua e sapone
voglio una vita di barba e pensiero
voglio un grande scatolone che si vede solo il cielo
I was born pale and invisible
In a world
Sees everything
Everything, everything….but me
Invisible to your touch
And doubt you’ll like me very much
Am I alive?
Was I ever me?
I’m a non-existent cipher
A pointless empty zero
Never added up to anything
A non-existent cipher
Pointless empty zero
Tell me….what does it all mean?
And now I think I want you
Ethereal body
Oblivious mask
And now I think I love you
Intelligent lips
Painted in black
But no need to look my way
Or give me the time of day
Can’t be with you
In this world
Invisible man
Never gets the girl
Oh, no...
I’ll find where you are
And watch from afar
You will be felt by me
I’ll find where you are
And watch from afar
You will be loved by me
Your
Zero
Tonight
Your
Zero
For life
Your zero
The day I die
Your zero….your zero
