CHORUS:
The line, line - it's a happy step 2 make

Baby, baby, baby, cross the line {repeat 2 fade}
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help me stand
I try, I have need, I am whole
Through the door, through the shore
I got my discharge from Fort Irwin
Took a place on the San Diego county line
Felt funny bein' a civilian again
It'd been some time
My wife had died a year ago
I was still tryin' to find my way back whole
Went to work for the INS on the line
With the California border patrol
Bobby Ramirez was a ten year veteran
We became friends
His family was from Guanajuato
So the job it was different for him
He said "They risk death in the deserts and mountains
Pay all they got to the smugglers rings
We send 'em home and they come right back again
Carl hunger is a powerful thing."
Well I was good at doin' what I was to
l'd Kept my uniform pressed and clean
At night I chased their shadows
Thru the arroyos and ravines
Drug runners farmers with their families
Young women with little children by their sides
Come night we'd wait out in the canyons
And try to keep 'em from crossin' the line
Well the first time that I saw her
She was in the holdin' pen
Our eyes met and she looked away
Then she looked back again
Her hair was black as coal
Her eyes reminded me of what I'd lost
She had a young child cryin' in her arms
I asked "Senora is there anything I can do?"
There's a bar in Tijuana
Where me and Bobby drink alongside
The same people we'd sent back the day before
She said her name was Louisa
She was from Sonora and had just come north
We danced and I held her in my arms
And I knew what I would do
She said she had some family in Madera county
If she her child and younger brother could just get thru
At night they come across the levee
In the searchlight's dusty glow
We'd rush 'em in our Broncos
Force 'em back down into the river below
She climbed into my truck
She leaned toward me and we kissed
As we drove her brother's shirt slipped open
And I saw the tape across his chest
We were just about on the highway
When Bobby's jeep come up in the dust on my right
I pulled over and let my engine run
And stepped out into his lights
I felt myself movin'
My gun restin' 'neath my hand
We stood there starin' at each other
As off thru the arroyo she ran
Bobby Ramirez he never said nothin'
6 months later I left the line
I drifted to the central valley
And took what work I could find
At night I searched the local bars
And the migrant towns
Lookin' for my Louisa
[Instrumental]
The fast lane, half heart, half money
Ain't nobody smilin, ain't nothin funny
Raise the risk, raise the profit
And can't nobody stop it
Unless your game's weak
So baby, don't sleep
The fast lane, half heart, half money
Ain't nobody smilin, ain't nothin funny
Raise the risk, raise the profit
And can't nobody stop it
Unless your game's weak
So player, don't sleep
The streets crawl with ill niggas on the block
Goin hand in hand
Leanin in and out of sedans
Pumpin crack dreams to crack fiends for a fee
Their dream is to re-up to a ki
Cops watch the influx of dope
Through a telescope
Snitches in the game
Give the young g's names
Bitches on the jock
Of the hustlers on the block
Jump from gee to gee
Similar to a flea
Suck the blood out, or in this case the dough
Roll with the blow till considered a hoe
Babies are born and pawned off to grandmama
The bitch ain't done, she still lives for the drama
Lookin for another baller
To hit and never call her
All in vain
Life in the Lane
A new crew of hookers on the track from up north
Vice cops, they watch em stroll back and forth
They take a pay-off
Or a blow job just to lay off
The Lane's no joke
Yo, you players stay broke
A ghetto garage makes a nice laboratory
PCP and crystal meth, wars of glory
End of story, gotta watch my back myself
Or else they'll find my body layin on a coroner shelf
It's the Lane
Gees take the game on the road to Minnesota
Supermarket's all sold out on baking soda
Gangbangers start to understand the dope game fast
Kidnap the drug dealers for the ransom cash
Gotta represent, what you say you are, that's a star
Feds got a homing device on your car
That made you easy to follow to Denver, Colorado
Birds you had, 12 now you got a l
Crack babies born in the hospitals cryin
Drive-by shootings can't end, kids are dyin
The cream is the ultimate goal
Gots to roll
Till my cash flow's mega
Baller not a beggar
Bitches workin plastic with the fake ID's
Life in the Lane, stackin up g's
Chop shops taggin up Benzes and Beamers
Crack spots boilin full kilos in beakers
Damn, the game's quicker than shit, don't slip
Cause bet your life there'll be another hustler checkin yo grip
It's the Lane
Brother on parole need a quick lick to come up
The score went bad, now he's back stuck
Bitches settin niggas up jacked and waxed
Small-time workers movin weight in a g ride Lac
Don't talk on your cellular, your phone is tapped
Don't check the rear view, there's no turnin back
It's the Lane, now you're in it, hit the gas and mash
Through the land of the hardcore hoes and cash
Jackers and robbers, hustlers and clockers
Everybody'll squeal, take the l or the deal
Yo, spin the wheel, for the cops you're a meal
Tailor suits gator boots make the fly hoes kneel
But if you miss, my friend, guess what you win
A one-way ticket to the federal state pen
It's the Lane you chose, you fill your shit, ride Rolls
High-priced clothes, baddest fuckin hoes
Anything goes, there's no limit, just mash
Alone at night
In the cold and windy city
When the candle fades away
Another morning
And the sun's shining pretty
You can watch the children play
But there's a hole in the sky
And it cries for you and I
And we can't find the reason for calling
There's a new place to see
Another world for you and me
And one can hear the bell which will be tolling
Tolling
They crossed the line
See the light, it shines
They crossed the line
Heaven or hell, who will decide
What's coming after
The curse of wrath and agony, oh lord
Please help us find our way
We tried to get out
Of the last light of eternity
But we couldn't get away
There's a hole in the sky
And it cries for you and I
But we can't find the reason for dreaming
There's a new place to see
Another world for you and me
[Verse One]
You know it's on and poppin and aint no stoppin
keepin the party rockin for God who's watchin
Without Christ the Rock who would rock ya body
Who would rock the party, or rock the lobby
He gave us a reason to praise Him up in the Steeple
When He came down and died for the evil that we do
We aint playin games or reppin His name to gain change
We do this to maintain and change the mainframe
gangstas that gangbang and hustlas that slang thangs
We know you're a sinner but it's time for a name change
It's the Holy Rock Repper, reppin the Rock whether or
not it's hot on ya block in the hot weather
We in the party screamin "Jesus WHUUUT"
You see somebody wildin out? what you seen was us
We keep it krunk for Christ because of His redeeming love
We gone rep him till we die or til He beams us up so get 'em up!
[Chorus]
You rollin with the line now baby
Get your hands up high now baby
We keep it crunk for Christ, we'll never change that
The same cats rockin even after the cows came back (mmmmm)
Get your hands up, Get your hands up, get your hands up, get your hands up
[Verse Two]
Tadow! How you like me now I'm in the mix
See I'm a fiend for Jesus Christ and I'm about ta get my fix
With the Krunkness, I hope you feeling my worshipnow peep my drunkness
because the Spirit is working I pray you pump this
to all your friends that are worldly, to see we bump this
because we know that He's worthy
I'm from the dirty
the place where they say that the cops got him, or the glock shot him
this is where people hit rock bottom
crack houses and dirty spouses, how can you not spot him?
Because of this drama I nicknamed my block Sodom.
But God took this brotha, one coming a dime a dozen
and brought me back to His loving, delivered me from destruction
From the land of the Trill, worse than Amityville
with one hand on the wheel, and one hand on the steel
To His commandments and will, He understands how I feel
but he called me to run as hard as Emmit ran on the field.
Now get 'em UP!
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
Ride with this Christian Partner, While we present the
Father, Vibe to this rhythm holla, live till you hear
them holla, or see them follow, forsaking Impalas and
dollars, or smoking la la, For popping collars in honor to Abba
Now wild out! And get crunk to this Plumbline
collaboration, we out to grab the station til God gets his adoration
Aye yo this beat got us jumpin and stompin we keep it
pumpin like Jesus comin
I see you runnin, you keepin somethin from me, you frontin
But you can't front on Jehovah, He knows ya...
Not J-A-Y but J-E young soldier
I told ya, He's the owner man
He want it, He says it and gets it, it's over man
He gave us the life that we're livin, He owns us man
You either rollin with the Rock or get rolled over man
I see you standing in your garden full of stone
wrapped around your heart so you will never be alone
can’t you see I want to give you all you need
don’t you know by now
there’s no future in the past when life goes by so fast-
just hold the line (hold the line)
life’s a journey til the end of time (hold the line)
and soon the sun will rise
your sanctuary is hanging from a chain
wrapped around your neck
, but it won’t take away the pain
seems to me you don’t know what to believe
you should know by now
when the sands of wasted time leave you high and dry-
just hold the line (hold the line)
life’s a journey til the end of time (hold the line)
and soon the sun will rise
the end of time (hold the line)
soon the sun will shine just hold the line (hold the line)
life’s a journey til
the end of time (hold the line)
soon the sun will shine just hold the line (hold the line)
you’ve got to hold on
I look at the sky to where my future's lying
And I almost start to cry
Blinded by the sun I'm trying to hold onto
The very last of precious time
Then I start to thinking what a mess we're making
And it won't get better by & by
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line
Chorus:
We cannot overstep
We cannot overstep the
We cannot overstep the line
So many baby's arms with nothing to hold onto
But just a precious flake of life
You think you care about them
They think you care about them
But thinking's only wasting time
If we really want to say the things we want to
It takes a bigger man to try
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line
Chorus
Well politicians sit and pretend they give a shit while
Little men go out to die
The only arms they're hugging are the ones they're running
Later to be justified
I say I don't mind
You say you don't mind
But what about the babies and what about the sunshine
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line
Chorus
Say I don't mind
You say you don't mind
But what about the babies and what about the sunshine
Well we can point it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line
Chorus
I am the line, I hold you near
There is no burden left to bear, I can see clear
You're in suspension, you know no love
There is no story left to tell, you have no wisdom to pass on
I am the soul of absolution, no man can hurt his own illusion
My hands are crippled from the pain, you are the splinter in my vein
You put your head between your hands and understand nothing it has
I feel the answers keep you scared, I've put the harm inside myself
I am the line, I hold you near
There is no burden left to bear, I can see clear
I am perfected, I know no void
I have no conscience to keep clear, I understand there's nothing more
You try to kid yourself with questions, pleading in time for some correction
I found you tied onto the cross, with judgement on your every thought
You know my words all mean the same, you've buried here to isolate
And in this prison in your mind, well you were born without a spine
When did you stop caring?
When did you stop caring?
When did you stop caring?
Hands folded to pray,
Holy utterance by a split tongue
The halo of blood and ashes
2000 years of praise
2000 years of lies
Exploited mans gullibility
Manifestations from one mouth
Testimony in many ears
Mankind tormented, the brains enslaved
Hear no evil - he's the holy one
See no evil - he's the holy one
Speak no evil - he's the holy one
Feel no evil - he's the holy one
He approached from the future
To show us the past
Deserted to the past to convey us the future
Born holy, died as a beggar on the cross
But you have to stride
The holy path for yourself
At a crossing of the line
Everything you need is mine
Everything is a big vision
A decision must be signed
A given voice
A given choice
A losing limit centerpoint
A given voice
A given choice
A losing limit centerpoint
I will give them all they need
Everything they know and read
But they must cross the line
The line
A given voice
A given choice
Everything you need is mine
At a crossing of the line
Everything you need is mine
Everything is a big vision
A decision must be signed
A given voice
A given choice
A losing limit centerpoint
A given voice
A given choice
A losing limit centerpoint
I would give them all they need
Everything they know and read
But they must cross the line
The line
A given voice
A given choice
Everything you need is mine
A given voice
A given choice
Unexplored territory,
On the road to sacred ground.
The final resting place for angels (angels),
The holy tomb, not meant to find.
Marching on, digging deeper,
Finding icons that this world should never see.
By the nightfall, at the borderline,
Where it comes down to the wire.
By the river, under clear blue skies,
The hunters of the holy fear the lion.
In the dark jungle, waiting,
The vicious king of predators.
Immortals burning in the fire (fire),
Beyond the land where lions roar.
Marching on, digging deeper,
Finding icons that this world should never see.
By the nightfall, at the borderline,
Where it comes down to the wire.
By the river, under clear blue skies,
The hunters of the holy fear the lion.
At the borderline,
Where it comes down to the wire.
By the river, under clear blue skies,
The hunters of the holy fear the lion.
[Solo]
By the nightfall, at the borderline,
Where it comes down to the wire.
By the river, under clear blue skies,
The hunters of the holy fear the lion.
At the borderline,
Where it comes down to the wire.
By the river, under clear blue skies,
The hunters of the holy fear the lion.
I'm the lion, when it comes down to the wire.
I'm the lion, I'm the lion.
I've gotta tell you, tell u about it
I've been gone for so long
I just wanna sing my song
I know u been hearin
hearin a lot of things about me
oh I know, I know
I've heard, I have heard it all to clear
this is what I am going to do
(chorus)
I am goin to hold, hold on to my pride
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick to my guns
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and we gon see what the deal
I'm for real, I just wanna put it, put it on the line
I've gotta put it on the line
and we havent got much time
I've gotta put it on the line
know what I'm talking bout this evening
I've gotta put it on the line
I've got a bullet in the chamber
and I'm not afraid of the danger
we've gotta go down to the wire
ill go through the fire with you
kill and die with you
I know everybody watchin me
the pressure is on
from every angle
political 2 personal
will I hang or b left hangin? will I fall off?
or will it be bangin?
I say its up to the man upstairs
I am goin to hold, hold on to my pride
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick to my guns
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and we gon see what the deal
I'm for real, I just wanna put it, put it on the line
I've gotta put it on the line
and we havent got much time
I've gotta put it on the line
know what I'm talking bout this evening
I've gotta put it on the line
I never thought it could be so hard
We knew the words but who knew they'd reach so far
Now we watch as the pages turn
and chapters end to tear a childhood apart.
I never thought it could end this way
growing up getting older every day.
You'll find these days are long but life is short
we can't let it slip away.
We stood like statues watching leaves blow by
Nineteen years have come and gone
we lost it in the blink of an eye.
Still month by month the punches roll on us
watching twenty summers pass
feeling older all the time.
Life can pass you by
we traded our wide eyes
for cold closed minds
and tongues as sharp as knives.
What can the future hold
for kids with hearts like gold?
Turn on your TV set
find out your youth's been sold.
We had it good those nights
we spent with our best friends
we worried less about where we were
and how it all would end.
We turned our backs
on everything that could go wrong
all along, it was what we had
that kept us going strong.
I thought it would be enough to forget our mistakes,
but they don't disappear when you look the other way.
We spent so many years living our lives so carelessly,
She looks out her window
And the stars don't feel that far away
She watches the wind blow
Blowing all her problems away
But then she'll ask, as she cleans up the glass
"Is this the line?
Is this the line?
Is this the line between heaven and hell?
Is this the line where I get up and walk out?
Is this the line where you get drunk you yell?"
She fixes her make-up
Treading lightly on the floor
Hoping he won't wake up
As she makes her way towards the door
But then she'll say, as she waves him away
"Is this the line?
Is this the line?
Is this the line between heaven and hell?
Is this the line where I get up and walk out?
Is this the line where you get drunk you yell?"
She says "I've lived my life like a diamond
Bright and hard like a diamond"
She says "I've lived my life like a diamond
The Loon
Upon the lake, upon the windless water,
swim down to me, beautiful bird.
Mercy, stay not forever out of reach.
I hear, I hear your evening song,
strange alien song.
Watered in blood in which I sink and drown,
in flesh and by flora shackle-bound,
feed the ache of this exile's alien song.
I hear, I hear your evening song.
Spirit bird unbind my withered limbs
and cut me from this torment. Unchain me.
Mercy, don't abandon me.
Arrayed in pearl, blushing illuminate deep wounds,
vast seas that rack and crush.
Moonlight upon my throat. Tempest black.
Mercy, stay not forever.
I suffer your endless song.
Here I choke.
Replume, refire, ravage my unholy ghost,
my heavenly mate, burning bright;
bloat and cry out, flame in the infinite,
for all the world is spirit furnace.
Old age, my god, love, and white this blizzard night;
all songs strangle under ice, flame out, and die,
Up into an endless state of time
With nothing good or bad just one
We have been strangers for a very long time
We have watched and we have tried
And now I need this
Know this taste this want this...
So swell the black sails with wind
And let me reap my rewards and start again
This is the line that will fall
Now that there's nothing left
That can shut you down
It doesn't take much to break
A life beyond the things you live for
Into a place where you have all that it takes
We have watched and we have tried
And now I need this
Know this taste this want this...
So swell the black sails with wind
And let me reap my rewards and start again
Swell the black sails with wind
And let me reap my rewards and start again
This is the line that will fall
Now that there's nothing left
That can shut you down
You will reap just what you sow
You will reap just what you sow
You will reap just what you sow
You will reap just what you sow
So swell the black sails with wind
And let me reap my rewards and start again
So swell the black sails with wind
And let me reap my rewards and start again
And let me reap my rewards and start again
Let me reap my rewards and start again
Let me reap my rewards and start again
Just what the hell has happened here
Smelling smoke
Must be burning up the atmosphere
Am I lost, have I found the right place to be
Better run, better clear, better be outta my way
I'm comin' down and I'm hot
Yeah I'm hot like the sun, man I'm not of this earth
Yeah I'm somethin' to see
I slowly touch down on the planet
I'm the alien
Could be some trouble up ahead
Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got in today, don't know if I want to stay
Think I'm gonna shoot back home
Like a cosmic ray, oh yeah, oh yeah
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
Now they're making me a cover boy
Standing in the aisles in the supermarket tabloids
Check it out, checking in
With inquiring minds need to know everything
Like how did I get here
Where will I go
Is he red, is he white or a six foot negro Afrodite
The CIA has got a file on everything I've done
Take me to my friends in Hanger 51
Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got in to town, wanna take a look around
Just arrived but I don't think I want to stay, oh no, oh no
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
I don't have a phone card to call home
They want to take me as a specimen
Dry me out, ground me into vitamins
Oh my God, maybe I am the cure
My future here it doesn't look too bright to me
I know today I gotta leave and be free, be free
Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got into town, wanna take a look around
I just arrived but don't think I want to stay
Just got in today (just got in today)
Welcome to the USA (welcome to the USA)
Think I'm gonna shoot back home, like a cosmic ray
Looking out your window
Wishing you were somewhere else right now
Looking for the big show
Promise that your gonna make them "wow"
That's right, it's a Friday night
And we had a fight, so you missed your flight
Did you go to bed early?
You said you wouldn't miss my call
I've got the doctor worried
I promised not to piss him off
My back, it's a heart attack
And I'm kickin' back so I can't react
(CHORUS)
And then she says "oh, oh"
I think I'm gonna tell her that I've got to go
"oh, oh"
But I'm hanging on the line until she knows
We're both riding shotgun
On a sunny afternoon
We didn't get a lot done
Cause you think we're making up to soon
For this, as we reminisce
And I steal a kiss, for the time we missed
(CHORUS)
And then she says "oh, oh"
I think i'm gonna tell her that I've got to go
"oh, oh"
But I'm hanging on the line until she knows
(SOLO)
(CHORUS)
And then she says "oh, oh"
I think I'm gonna tell her that I've got to go
"oh, oh"
But I'm hanging on the line until she knows
"oh, oh"
I think I'm gonna tell her that I've got to go
"oh, oh"
I can feel the trees cowering from the rain
like they never had seen it before.
I can feel the fire burn for me with its rage.
To never be extinguished by crossing paths with running water.
My body’s never felt this cold.
It’s like I’m losing touch yet gaining more control.
I’m losing hope with every step.
My bones are coming close to falling off
from skin that holds it close.
I need the glue that pulls me back to you.
If I was the flame I’d burn the trees
to save them from the rain that’s coming when this is over.
My body’s never felt this cold.
It’s like I’m losing touch yet gaining more control.
I’m losing hope with every step.
My bones are coming close to falling off
from skin that holds it close.
We're going to the market square,
my honey and my heart
we're going to see what's new
He's my lord and he's above me
You are my love and you are above me!
My lord is a lion
My lord is a lion
My love is a lion too!
We're going to the market square,
my honey and my heart
we're going to see what's cool
He's my lord and he's above me
You are my love and you are above me!
My lord is a lion
My lord is a lion
My love is a lion too!
He's my lord and he's above me
You are my love and you are above me!
My lord is a lion
My lord is a lion
My love is a lion too!
When you're right in front of me
It's so hard for me to say
I've grown so pessmistic
And it hurts to say goodbye
But I hate it when we stay
Why does it kill to feel alone?
Can you take this all away?
(Can you take this all away?)
Can you make it safe to stay?
(Can you make it safe to stay?)
So, tell me that you love me
And that's what I wanna hear
I've been so selfish lately
And I feel so older now
And even colder in my heart
This place doesn't feel like home anymore
Can you take this all away?
(Can you take this all away?)
Can you make it safe to stay?
Even this mornig, darkness towards me
it seems my eyes couldn't see
I cannot breath
It's gonna kill me slowly,it wanna tear me down
It's suffocating me
There's no solution
No one told me
No one told me
Where to lye
No one told me
I wish that i could fly
No one told me
Shut the fuck 'n cry!
Was it just a dream,was reality?
I'm feeling it under my skin
is this happening is it just my mind
this light is making me blind
I found the line
the way is the correct one i think
i follow the line
as this will bring me out of hell
No one told me
No one told me
Where to lye
No one told me
I wish that i could fly
No one told me
shut the fuck 'n cry!
And I'm waiting for you
Feel so lonely under the sky
The circle in which we stand every single day closes up as we ask the wrong questions.
Between the two worlds that our leaders offer us I choose not to belong to either of them.
Sometimes embedded memories may influence your choice but should they lead you to the final line?
The line that will bring you to what frames these chains of command.
Do they really care about what we long for?
Or do they simply think they don’t live in the same world?
It looks like both options are inefficient.
I’ve got my tool to blow this off.
Find yours and you will know what those words are all about.
Silent, stranded
That’s how they want to see us.
We must learn how to counter the lie in order not to lose the notion of community.
It’s our duty.
I’m not afraid. How about you? I’m sure you’re not.
I know that a part of the blame is in ourselves but we must not give up.
A change is never easy.
Especially when a majority of intellectuals are conformists.
You don’t have to live your life as they ask you to.
We can’t hear the truth when we kneel down in front of what we think we cannot change.
In the end this system represents almost everything that I repel.
We must keep fighting on and on to get this line erased.
The lack of choice is one of their weapons.
It’s just another trap set by the state and I will never see any good in nothingness.
You may consider this idealistic and foolish.
At least I’m not affected by delusion.
Is the common sense attainable?
The sheep are still singing the same song.
A great scenery for someone looking for power.
For the sake of all the animals and human beings. For the
sake of all those who had to suffer.
For the sake of all those that get hurt:
So many stars were out there but none of them did fall
I guess none wanted to carry the burden of it all
A time to cry, so much time to cry, little time to say goodbye
And I would tell you I'll be brave and you'd know that it's a lie
And the days'll turn weeks and the weeks'll turn years and I'll know that you were wrong
There's nothing at the rainbows end but just another song
So close and yet so far away is the mask she wears today
It seems the open hand is closing, some things shell never give away
Thelena, wear the crown of golden thorns
Thelena, nail your hands onto your kite
No spotlight on your self-made cross but your eyes come shining through
Is desire just temptation or do angels long too?
Don't need wings to be an angel, just the wind to pull you up
No strings, no wings, no songs to sing as we dance into the sun
Thelena, wear the crown of golden thorns
Curious light projects these apparitions
In a slow dance
It beats like heart beats
Do they want to stay connected
To the solemn man
The curious light projects these apparitions
In a slow dance
It beats like heart beats
Do they want to stay connected
To the solemn man
Along the line
We come to find
You shot yourself
Along the line
We come to find
You shot yourself
Hey! x 8
Hey! x 8
Strip it hard
When I first saw them standing all pale-faced and scared
With bodies just trembling and eyes that just stared
I thought I would go up and behave like a priest
Speak of redemption or just say the least
And they never moved
When I joined them a little later they didn't think I was new
’Cause I was just as brittle from being with you
I saw a few jaws clench when I mentioned your name
But they never said anything about all their pain
And they never moved
And they never spoke
And they never cried
When the first one fell down I started to cry
And the second one was flailing preparing to die
The one just before me turning his head
Said: you best say a prayer son ’cause soon you’ll be dead
But they never moved
And they never spoke
And they never lied
Seeing your ghost there running through the dead bodies
Averting your eyes from the mess that you made
And reaching me tired looking into my cold eyes
You just flinched at my question
Do you now feel betrayed?
But I never knew
And I never fell
And I never loved again
So now the first one, a new beginning of the line
You couldn’t find the answer
So you failed this vicious test
Your thoughts like smoke
It made you choke
I think you need some rest
You think you’re so funny
But your smile is just pretend
This ship sails through
Your river of thoughts
Will never reach its land
please try to say I’m okay
Before you fall and fall
These dreams you made
Just fall out waste
No one saw them all
I don’t think you’re crazy
I don’ think you’re fool
You just lost the line
So that’s fine
You cannot change the rules
I don’t think you’re crazy
I don’ think you’re fool
You just lost the line
So that’s fine
You cannot change the rules
Oh the 12 Elan goes bang, bang, bang
Oh the 12 Elan goes Bump!
Oh the 12 Elan goes tumpity, tumpity.
But most times she goes clunk!
Snowmobiles are made, in many sizes and colours too
Bombardier's Elan is best it's a twelve horsepower skidoo
Mine cost six hundred dollars, in 1982
It's easy to fix, parts are cheap and doesn't burn much fuel!
Oh the 12 Elan goes bang, bang, bang. Oh the 12 Elan goes Bump!
Oh the 12 Elan goes tumpity, tumpity. B'fang, b'fang, habber d' habber.
But most times she goes clunk!
Her hood is stitched with wire, and her windshield is tied on,
Her spark plug runs on the lighting coil, she's wired up all wrong!
I taped a flashlight on her hood because he headlight's gone
And the muffler bolts are all stripped out, and the track is stretched too long!
Oh the 12 Elan goes bang, bang, bang. Oh the 12 Elan goes Bump!
Oh the 12 Elan goes tumpity, tumpity. B'fang, b'fang, habber d' habber.
Toppity bim, toppity bim, topp topp topp. But most times she goes clunk!
She's welded, bolted, grinded, modified and changed
Scarce a thing that's on her is original or the same,
Her 12 horsepower motor's got new bearings seals and rings,
And her bogey wheel suspension got at least three brand new springs.
Oh the 12 Elan goes bang, bang, bang. Oh the 12 Elan goes Bump!
Oh the 12 Elan goes tumpity, tumpity. B'fang, b'fang, habber d' habber.
Toppity bim, toppity bim, topp topp topp. T't't'tump, t't't'tump
But most times she goes clunk!
I use her getting firewood, she'd haul some awful loads,
And when them big machines bog down she gives them all a tow
I can lift her, she don't need reverse, there's no place she can't go!
She's been shot mistaken for a moose because she was so slow,
Oh the 12 Elan goes bang, bang, bang. Oh the 12 Elan goes Bump!
Oh the 12 Elan goes tumpity, tumpity. B'fang, b'fang, habber d' habber.
Toppity bim, toppity bim, topp topp topp. T't't'tump, t't't'tump
Bzzzzzzz cough cough cough! But most times she goes clunk!
So I brought her down for a trade in, on a big new sleek skidoo
AAn even swap" I told them, Amy old one for your new",
They said ten thousand dollars, say's I Ab'ys have a clue!"
AYou'll have to offer more than that for the 12 ELAN Skidoo"
Oh the 12 Elan goes bang, bang, bang. Oh the 12 Elan goes Bump!
Oh the 12 Elan goes tumpity, tumpity. B'fang, b'fang, habber d' habber.
Toppity bim, toppity bim, topp topp topp. T't't'tump, t't't'tump
Bzzzzzzz cough cough cough! Ging ga ging ga, ging, ging...
