Jerash, the Gerasa of Antiquity, is the capital and largest city of Jerash Governorate (محافظة جرش), which is situated in the north of Jordan, 48 kilometres (30 mi) north of the capital Amman towards Syria. Jerash Governorate's geographical features vary from cold mountains to fertile valleys from 250 to 300 metres (820 to 980 ft) above sea level, suitable for growing a wide variety of crops.
Inhabitants of Souf & Sakib and other villages in Jerash region were among the founders of the modern city of Jerash in the second half of the nineteenth century,. A strong earthquake in 747 AD destroyed large parts of Jerash, while subsequent earthquakes along with the wars and turmoil contributed to additional destruction. Its destruction and ruins remained buried in the soil for hundreds of years until they were discovered by German Orientalist Ulrich Jasper Seetzen in 1806 AD to begin excavation and to return life to rise to the current Jerash. Then followed 70 years after by the community of Muslims, Circassians, who emigrated to Jordan from the land of the Caucasus in 1878 AD after the Ottoman-Russian war. And a large community of people of Syria at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Fairy tales and gasoline aren't as different as they seem
Both will someday be just but a dream
You're Novocain. With your loose lips, I'm numb beyond my fingertips
Not that I care to feel; life is hardly real
You say love passes by, but you wait in the corner of my eye
Like cuts that have no wounds and knots that have no ties,
You plead to plead to me with all your little lies
Lightning breeds electric needs: I cannot bear that you can be
Laced with greed to fuel eternity
Photographs in magazines take you where you've never been
Covet all you see. Lie just to believe.
Say words but make no sound. Slip until you're underground.
Like cuts that have no wounds and knots that have no ties,
You plead to plead to me with all your little lies
In sentimental ruins, where thoughts that have no fire
Burn without desire and mourn without the cries...
Like cuts that have no wounds and knots that have no ties,
You plead to plead to me with all your little lies
Sentimental ruins, where thoughts, they have no fire
You plead to plead to me
All your little lies
And all your little lies
And all your little lies
How many times does it take til you flake on me
Leave me a message I'll call you back
Life is one season that gives you three reasons to
change
where will you be after that
Says what she means
give her high heels and jeans
now she's satisfied so she's not coming back
Looks like it's just you and me
Jealousy and a bottle and smoke
won't you give me that
Pray for a magical medical miracle
Pray because you're not religious you're spiritual
Take all the benefits offer no forgiveness
It's easier than turning around
chorus:
Cause the only road I've known goes down, down
where the ride seems so righteous
they've left us on the ground
There's a reward for capturing my soul
so, let the heavenly father shine down on me
til the day I am yoked equally
God made man and the plan was he'd love him right back
but you didn't choose the latter
You think you can do it alone on your own
Well good luck but guess what it don't matter
hundreds of thousands of millions have come through
some never had a chance
but still should have found you
So here I am
if I can't count on them
I'll just cry out for help from above
Cause the only road I've known goes down, down
where the ride seems so righteous
they've left us on the ground
There's a reward for capturing my soul
so, let the heavenly father shine down on me
Far off in the distance your lighthouse shines forth
Those who are apporaching your cold, rocky shore
Somewhere in the gardens I'm hanging on
Right outside your babylon
Chorus:
Around the world seven wonders I've wandered
Through this selfish fantasy
Searching for you
Buildings will crumble and statues will fall
but I still find it wanderful
selfish and all
Out here in the desert I slave away
Building what will be forgotten one day
In this mausoleum I will reside
Trading life for suicide
Chorus:
Around the world seven wonders I've wandered
Through this selfish fantasy
Searching for you
Buildings will crumble and statues will fall
but I still find it wanderful
selfish and all
Chorus:
Around the world seven wonders I've wandered
Through this selfish fantasy
Searching for you
Buildings will crumble and statues will fall
but I still find it wanderful
Once long ago
Angels awoke shepherds in snow
to speak of a son, save everyone
Some are alive, some are alone
And tidings of joy
cut through the phone calling me home
come from afar
follow the star
chorus:
And we'll have a merry Christmas
When you fill your hearts with cheer
I will love you every season
but you warm me up the most
This time of year
And now that we're here
troubles will stay so far away
for everyone it has begun
And we'll have a merry Christmas
When you fill your hearts with cheer
I will love you every season
but you warm me up the most
Here in this room
a persistant perfume and this letter I found
Take me away to yesterday
where towering trees now crumble it seems
but you can tell them
chorus:
I'm gonna smoke this signal
as soon as I burn this whole city down
whoa
God take my love from me
I don't deserve to leave and be found
Here in this car
I try to drive far
but the tail-lights remain
So sing me a song
sweeten the every year every day
come from everywhere
You're never alone
so you can tell them
I'm gonna smoke this signal
as soon as I burn this whole city down
whoa
God take my love from me
I don't deserve to leave and be found
I'm gonna smoke this signal
as soon as I burn this whole city down
whoa
God take my love from me
It's logical to give you what you want
Emotional 'cause you'll need me more
So tell me...
Sex or love, which do you need?
Relationships, fuel my greed
Love and lust, they are one
When everything comes undone
Don't you know, sex is love?
Don't you know, sex is love?
Political is everything that's said
So critical that you're not misread
You tell me...
Sex and love - things you need -
Relationships, guaranteed
But promises, I will break
Unfaithfulness, you can't take
Don't you know, sex is love?
Don't you know, sex is love?
Why should I stay pure?
Just for once, admit that I am your religion
Is there nothing else above you than to be loved?
Don't you know... Don't you know that
Your pedestal's where I stand?
My capital coats your hand
Sex for gold, all your greed
You sell yourself for what you need
Don't you know, sex is love?
Don't you know, sex is love?
Don't you know, sex is love?
I know where the sun goes to, as she sinks into the ocean blue
But I don't know where my head has gone
When I swear I don't deceive you... 'cause I do
I know where the rain comes from, as she dances on the pavement
I don't know where to go from here; I have lost my way; I'm broken
I know where the angels go that fall from the grace of heaven
But I need to know: Am I saved? Am I saved? Am I saved?
Resurrect me, raise my soul (raise my soul)
Don't leave me reaching up, desperate and alone
Resurrect me, raise my soul (raise my soul)
Don't leave me reaching up, desperate and alone
Don't leave me alone
Fallen off of the path I roam, have I sinned against your honor?
Do you think by this cross I bear, I'm begging for salvation?
I know where the angels go that fall from the grace of heaven
But I need to know: Am I saved? Am I saved? Am I saved?
Resurrect me, raise my soul (raise my soul)
Don't leave me reaching up, desperate and alone
Resurrect me, raise my soul (raise my soul)
Don't leave me reaching up, desperate and alone
I'm so alone
I know where the sun goes to, as she sinks into the ocean blue
I know where the wind comes from, as she howls through the mountains
I know where the angels go: They fall from the grace of heaven
But I need to know if I'm saved... if I'm saved... I am saved!
Resurrect me, raise my soul (raise my soul)
Don't leave me reaching up, desperate and alone
Resurrect me, raise my soul (raise my soul)
I could be far across the sea
Or by myself on the moon oh
but I know on the radio
that the song will remind me of you
Pleasure and pain just like everything
eventually has to end
but all it takes is a melody
and I'm suddenly with you again
chorus:
let it out now, slowly
so much better off outside our bodies
They've been waiting for you
Your presence is gone
but your power goes on
cause the song still reminds me of you
let it out now, slowly
so much better off outside our bodies
They've been waiting for you
Your presence is gone
but your power goes on
cause the song still reminds me of you
Through all the years that we've been
as it was adn so it shall be
forever and ever amen
let it out now, slowly
so much better off outside our bodies
They've been waiting for you
Your presence is gone
but your power goes on
I thought I told you before
I guess you'll never listen
so I pontificate more
You don't know what you're missing
My only friend is a ghost
and when I want it to appear
I do what he wanted most
and scream into the mirror
Save me from the creature that I've become
Don't think that I can
Save me
Undo all the damage he's done
When he comes around
I find the devil is right
I think that what you say is wrong
I do my business at night
when inhibitions are gone
I see what onlookers don't
I know exactly what you do
and escape me you won't
cause I am coming for you
Save me from the creature that I've become
Don't think that I can
Save me
Undo all the damage he's done
When he comes around you can feel the power
go hourly towering over
how does it feel
when you give up your crown
to satisfy this friend you've found
Save me from the creature that I've become
Don't think that I can
Save me
Undo all the damage he's done
When he comes around there's a possibility
that this ability comes from what he is hiding
I can't approach him
He might discover
what's inside
Save me from the creature that I've become
Don't think that I can
Save me
If I shut up suddenly
it's cause I'm thinking of Theresa
She doesn't belong to me
but some day maybe Theresa
what could I say
to persuade you Theresa
I will say it every day
to be with you Theresa
We appreciate all the pleasantries you bring
and quite frankly my dear
I prefer when you are here
Theresa is my friend
long after you've gone
and right by her side
I'll be singing
I don't got a lot to show
but what I do is for Theresa
and my bank account is low
but she don't care, she's Theresa
You can see it in her lips
she's beautiful, my Theresa
and her song goes like this
whoa I love Theresa
We appreciate all the pleasantries you bring
and quite frankly my dear
I prefer when you are here
Theresa is my friend
long after you've gone
and right by her side
I'll be dreaming
California just might be alright
at least for a while
She holds up her middle finger
while she fakes a smile
I won't stop complaining til I'm holding you
We appreciate all the pleasantries you bring
and quite frankly my dear
I prefer when you are here
Theresa is my friend
long after you've gone
and right by her side
I'll be jamming
Imagine the street
just you and me and your dumb little dog
life would be just like a holiday all season long
I won't stop complaining till I'm
I won't stop believin til I'm
I won't stop complaining til I'm holding you
Words that heal each moment's fury
A message to the masses, burning
The speech is so loud, but silence can be heard
Without me, without you, we find ourselves alone
Tell me the same lies, from the same smile, and the blame dies alone; Mono
Sweet child, you've got no style; you've got no one to hear you cry; Mono,
Mono
Disenchanted visions, blinding,
Of cinematic villains, reminding
We search in vain for freedom from the lies
Without me, without you, we sell ourselves as one
Tell me the same lies, from the same smile, and the blame dies alone; Mono
Sweet child, you've got no style; you've got no one to hear you cry; Mono
Love, faith and hope aren't all we need...
Love, faith and hope aren't all we need... Mono
Tell me the same lies, from the same smile, and the blame dies alone; Mono
We pull away from shore, and so we close the doors we've opened,
File away our fears, release today, embrace tomorrow
We feel our feelings lie; we see the way but not the exits
Reality we fight; we dream escape but wake the captured
Is your world so cold outside that we have no ties?
Are the walls we build between us closing in?
You can't deny... Mercy
You can't deny... Mercy
Can anybody help me?
We turn away from scorn and leave the past alone
Pardon what we know, release each day away, but we never go...
Never go to... Mercy
Is your world so cold outside that we have no ties?
Are the walls we build between us closing in?
You can't deny... Mercy
You can't deny... Mercy
You can't deny... Mercy
You can't deny... Mercy
'Scuse me we detected something skating across the sky
it was blazing by balistic sidewalks from the other
side
then I was travelling and searching for the master
slice
and co-wording messages of nothing
but it still feels nice
And suddenly, your harmony
hints at the ghosts before
bum bum bada da ba ba bum yada da bum bum....
and I was collaborating mugshots straight bonafide
when an air-looking pulled up to the stoplight
I'ma take you to the dark side
Bring me home...
I was following your love ship
when it all broke down
and I'm crawling just to find forgiveness
but it's over now
so then, don't defend
I just want to get through
with your eyes
let me get a good look at you
all this time
everything said was true
I'll return for you again....
I was travelling and searching for the master slice
and co-wording messages of nothing
Lately I hear you calling
Debating whether you are falling
This love won't benefit you but it's good for me
Religion is what you believe
to save you from what you achieve
This blood was shed and it washes your conscience clean
chorus:
But you give the most incredible feeling
I don't mind taking your troubles away
you will find me flying far from the real world
waiting again for you to tell me I'm not dreaming
Paranoid there's somebody coming
to take me
did you hear something?
it's hard to forget about you
when youre haunting me
But you give the most incredible feeling
I don't mind taking your troubles away
you will find me flying far from the real world
waiting again for you to tell me I'm not dreaming
but I'm praying for you
it fills me up when you get what you want
all these truths and decisions seem natural
cause it's out of my control
But you give the most incredible feeling
I don't mind taking your troubles away
you will find me flying far from the real world
I came to California flying all alone
I left the nest to see if I could build my own
And then I joind a flock that was flying high above
It's the Echo Park Ornithology Club
They say I've got a bird chest
and some chicken legs
I met a chickadee but she won't lay my eggs
So now it's flying home that I am dreaming of
in the Echo Park Ornithology Club
it's the Echo Park Ornithology
Echo Park Ornithology
This train ride lasts too long
All I do is wonder where I went wrong
I knew right from the start this woman's mind was poison
I'd be torn apart
Six months left behind, six more wasted time
Is how my life unfolds
So she wants you to know you're only as good as your gold
"Comfort me, shelter me, cover me," she said
And she said... And she said, "Nothing lasts, nothing lasts"
The daylight lasts too long
I don't know what she wants, why she comes and goes
Six months left behind, six more wasted time
And now my life unfolds
So she wants you to know you're only as good as your gold
"Comfort me, shelter me, cover me," she said
And she said... And she said, "Nothing lasts, nothing lasts"
So she wants you to know you're only as good as your gold
"Comfort me, shelter me, cover me," she said
And she said... And she said...
And she said, "Nothing lasts forever."
