Dusk is dawn is day
Where did it go?
I've been laughing
Fast and slow
Moving in a still frame
Howling at the moon
Morning found me laughing
Up and down, down
Low low low
Night suits me fine
and morning suits me fine
I've been so happy
Way up high, high
In between
Down below
Low low low
I skipped the part about love
It seems so silly and low
Low low low
Low low low
I said the morning
It isn't your time
Barefoot naked
I can see your lines
It doesn't bother me
That you are right
Your grass is grassy wet
Your light white is bright
Light white light
I skipped the part about love
It seems so shallow and low
Low low low
Low low low
You and me
We know about time
We know how things go
They come and go
They live and grow
They pass and go
And glow and glow
Up and down
High and low
Low low low
Low low low
I skipped the part about love
It seems so silly and low
I skipped the part about love
It seems so shallow and low
Low low low
Low low low
I like your hands
All full of glory
How could I be so down at a time like this
When I'm high like this
When the billboard charts, when your major tours overseas
When I fly like this
I've been thinking about the people that need me
They needy and all of the pain that I might miss
Sooner or later it seeks me reach me then bleed me
Deep in the rain inside my pit
I'm goin' down now, because my mom frowns
In a research psychiatric center without her son around
And I'm deep off in this hole when I'm out here rockin' shows
I should be hyped 'cause my life is so rock 'n' roll
But I feel like the Grinch mixed with Ebenezer Scrooge
Let the fever ooze up out of me clouded me never eager to
Let up when I'm in an interview
They probably thinkin' they gonna hinder dude
'Cause he be lookin' like he might offend the rule
Never intricate to remember blues
Because is always right here with the Hennessey and light beer
Let it enter me and fight fear, yeah
I know I quit but I started back, the homey called the gat
And my bodyguard Nicholas just had a heart attack
I'm sinkin' again, I'm drinkin' again
Drownin' and wildin' you breathin' again
Is easy to sin when you bleeding within'
Needin' the grin, cheese and recede in the spend
Lower than low, lower than low, that's how I feel in the morning
Lower than low, lower than low, that's how I sound when you callin'
Lower than low, lower than low, I'm high but feel like I'm falling
I'm sorry but I feel lower than low
My smile is forced, my style is warped
Morale is corpse now that my really good pound is torch
I'm just gone with the wind and I'm home with the gin
To the dome when I spin I'm a zone
'Cause the phone must be roamin' again
Another tone I'm alone now don't want me to spin
Time with I'm just mind this might find miss nine missed
I find my mind in this line dish
Dine quick, not even a second for mindless
In a middle of a time when the musics flyin' I've depleted my kindness
Low like the grasses, low like po folks on Gratiot
I'm so below the casket, ragged pulse up the maggots
Why do I feel this illness?
I'm lookin' for somethin to come and kill this a little bit
I got my head in the hills cause the real shit
Is momma is sufferin' takin' pills with the stillness
And I feel it, I can't shake it in any case my space is the basement
I can't erase my embrace of encasement
I'm chasin' hatred my taste not complacin'
So as I go to the flow the industry finally opened the door
But now I'm in the motherfucker all I feel is, low
I'm sinkin' again, I'm drinkin' again
Drownin' and wildin' you breathin' again
Is easy to sin when you bleeding within'
Needin' the grin, cheese and recede in the spend
Lower than low, lower than low, that's how I feel in the morning
Lower than low, lower than low, that's how I sound when you callin'
Lower than low, lower than low, I'm high but feel like I'm falling
(Original by Cracker)
Sometimes I wanna take you down.
Sometimes I wanna get you low.
Brush your hair back from your eyes.
Take you down let the river flow.
Sometimes I go and walk the street
Behind the green sheet of glass.
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles
CHORUS:
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
hey hey hey like being stoned.
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
hey hey hey like being stoned.
A million poppies gonna make me sleep.
Just one rose and knows your name
The fruit is rusting on the vine
The fruit is calling from the trees
Hey don't you wanna go down
Like some junkie cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles a million miles
CHORUS
Blue blue is the sun.
Brown brown is the sky.
Green green of her eyes.
A million miles a million miles
Hey hey don't you wanna go down
Like some disgraced cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles a million miles
CHORUS
Everybody’s talking
But they don’t say a thing
They look at me with sad eyes
But I don’t want the sympathy
Its cool you didn’t want me
Sometimes you can’t go back
But why’d you have to go and make a mess like that
Well I just have to say
Before I let go
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
No I don’t need your number
There’s nothing left to say
Except I never thought it'd hurt this much to be saved
My friends are outside waiting
I’ve gotta go
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
What you did was low (low)
What you did was low (low)
What you did was low (low)
I walk out of this darkness
With no sense of regret
And I go with a clear conscience
We both know that you can’t say that
Here's to show
For all the time I loved you so…
So...
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
You see the world in black and white
No colour or light
You think you'll never get it right
But you're wrong. You might.
The sky could fall, could fall on me
The parting of the sea
But you mean more, mean more to me
Than any colour I can see
All you ever wanted was love,
But you never looked hard enough,
It's never gonna give itself up
All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry,
Nothing is as down or as up as us
You see the world in black and white
Not painted right
You see no meaning to your life
You should try
You should try
All you ever wanted was love,
But you never looked hard enough,
It's never gonna give itself up
All you ever wanted to be,
Living in perfect symmetry,
Nothing is as down or as up
Don't you want to see it come soon,
Floating in a big white balloon
Come give her your own silver spoon
Don't you want to see it come down?
There for throwing your arms around
And say "You're not a moment too soon."
Cause I feel low, cause I feel low
ooooh...
Yeah I feel low
oh no...oooh
Cause I feel low, cause I feel low
oh...
Yet I feel low
Hey you
Are you in there
I'm stuck outside you, ooh
We could use
One another
Another like you, ooh
You be my passerby
I'll be your one to pass through
Screws inside
Turn so tight
Turning on you
I'm hanging on you, ooh
Me and you
Going nowhere
I'm right beside you, ooh
Me and you
Going nowhere
I'm right beside you, ooh
You be my passerby
I'll be your one to pass through
Screws inside
Turn so tight
Turning on you
I'm hanging on you
Taking you as low as you go
As low as you go
Taking you as low as you go
As low as you go
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You be my passerby
I'll be your one to pass through
Screws inside
Turn so tight
Turning on you
I'm hanging on you
Taking you as low as you go
(Low as you go)
As low as you go
(Low as you go)
Taking you as low as you go
(Low as you go)
As low as you go
(Low as you go)
As low as you go
Low as you go
Ooh, ooh
Taking you as low as you go
As low as you go
Taking you as low as you go
As low as you go
Taking you as low as you go
(Low as you go)
As low as you go
(Low as you go)
Taking you as low as you go
(Low as you go)
As low as you go

Dust on the window
Sun's darkened angle
Write your initials with mine
By this time tomorrow
I'll be just one day closer
One sunset further behind
In the morning I'll make up my mind
Always a whisper
Worthless and tender
Breaking my arm that won't heal
Lie like a shadow
Breath on my pillow
Won't let me keep what I steal
We took our pills
It changed the world
We had our fill
But when we realized
That we were dragonflies
We knew we had to try
To find a way to get more pills
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're right
Oh dragonfly
Your thousand eyes
What do they see?
The lights of history
Some things should never be
Why do we even try?
There's no such thing
As dragonfly pills
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're right
Oh dragonfly
I'm sorry but I can't hold on
It works much better if I let it drag me around
I'm sorry if I'm losing ground
It works much better if I let it drag me around
I guess the secret's out
Like a river flows
It's never over done
Out of control
I guess the secret's out
My simple goal
You'll be the one, too
Out of control
Out of my control
I guess the secret's out
Above me looking down
It's not supposed to be that way
Out of control
Left my lair
To the wind and the sand
With blood on my lips
And silver in hand
And I'm weary and stumbling
In the desert heat
Where raindrops
They burn up
Before they reach your cheek
And if you see my love
Carry the weight
And wait at the last
Bloodied my leg
And buried my fist
I don't understand
I don't understand
I send it away
Now it's back in my breast
And drag you to town
Treat you just like a son
Alone in my house
Did they teach you to run
I don't understand
I don't understand
One more dance
Before they take away the light
One more spin around the line
One more step
And then we'll turn and face the debt
Caroline, we don't have much time
Mercy lies in the one you hide
Caroline, we don't have much time
Mercy lies in the ones we hide
You don't need to be outside
Candy girl, you sing that song so well
Candy girl, you try to stand so still
Wasting all our days with Gillian and Dave
Candy girl, candy girl, candy girl
I'll have a blue blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartaches starts hurting
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
Pour yourself another cup
Another cup, another cup
And wait, I can't wait forever
Live your life
A stupid life, a stupid life, a stupid life
It's a game, nobody does it better
Breaking everybody's heart
Taking everyone apart
Breaking everybody's heart
Singing everybody's song
All your dreams are waking up
Are waking up, are waking up
In space, you can't sleep forever
Every day you torture us
You torture us, you torture us
And say, ?Nothing stays together?
Breaking everybody's heart
Taking everyone apart
Breaking everybody's heart
Singing everybody's song
[Incomprehensible]
The angry son
The angry one
Breaking everybody's heart
Taking everyone apart
Breaking everybody's heart
Holding my head
For the last of race
Pushing my body
To get that embrace
It won't last
Hold on fast
It won't last
Hold on fast
Breathing in time
So hard to trace
Crushing your skull
With my warming embrace
It won't last
Hold on fast
It won't last
Hold on fast
I fell down the stairs
I wished I were dead
You ran for the light
He handed me your head
It won't last
It won't last
Hold on fast
It won't last
Cry me a river
So I can float over to you
The bearer to deliver the news
I'm over the moon
And underfoot
All these elixirs would be moot
'Cause if we knew where we belong
There'd be no doubt where we're from
But as it stands, we don't have a clue
Especially me and probably you
You've fallen in a slumber
Just wake one more time
To miss or put asunder
Would be a crime
Some songs feel like butter
Some songs sound like cake
This little number is for your sake
'Cause if we knew where we belong
There'd be no doubt where we're from
But as it stands, we don't have a clue
Especially me and probably you
'Cause if we knew where we belong
There'd be no doubt where we're from
But as it stands, we all need the truth
Especially me and probably you
It's much too late for the action
You've made this place unbecoming
Do I have to stay
These eyes have one more discovery
Will it be wasted on monday
It's for certain
I never thought I'd last
Never thought the sea would try
It's for certain
You can tie me to the mast
Goodbye to all the land and lies
And when all the stars have gone out
They won't fall, you can hear them crying
And when all the stars have gone out
They're not gone, you can hear them dying
He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand.
(Lead Guitar)
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans
I would be your king
But you want to be free
Confusion and art
I'm nothing but heart (x 20)
Sunrise and I see her eyes, oh why'd you come, and oh why?
Eternally break the spell, I try to tell, but I don't.
Oh nightingale, oh nightingale,
Oh nightingale don't you cry.
So sad and my eyes go dead,
So red, so empty, so red.
You smile I chase my tail,
You laugh like hell, but I don't.
Oh nightingale, oh nightingale,
Oh nightingale don't you cry,
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.
Oh nightingale,
Oh nightingale,
Oh nightingale,
Oh nightingale,
Oh nightingale,
One more thing before I go
One more thing I'll ask you Lord
You may need a murderer
Someone to do your dirty work
Don't act so innocent
I've seen you pound your fist into the earth
And I've read your book
It seems that you could use another fool
Well I'm cruel
And I look right through
You must have more important things to do
So if you need a murderer
Oh my my
Little white lies
I swear I'm gonna make it right
This time
It's not the radio
Turn it way down low
Telling me things I do not know I know
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Now who's to blame
You used to be the same
Now you won't let me speak your name
What a shame
It's a suicide
Shut up and drive
We're never going to make the light
But it's all right
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Mom says
The astronauts will bring it home
Mom says
The car won't make it to the lake
But I don't know
Mom says
A farm's the best place to call home
But I don't know
Mom says
Oh, speak to me Adam and Eve
Oh Missouri, oh Missouri
You wanted it back, faces painted black
Oh Missouri, oh Missouri
What did you get for your dishes and sweat?
Oh Missouri, oh Missouri, oh Missouri, oh Missouri
Oh, speak to me Adam and Eve, oh Missouri
They'll never cure this thing
With medicine and magazines, ohh, ohh, ohh
I know you play your part
You cover up your ever aching heart, ohh, ohh
No one knows where you are
And no one thought you'd ever get that far, ohh, ohh
And how can it be that fun
When everyone around you dies so young? Ohh, ohh, ohh
And I'm not your favorite one
See how they twist 'round the room,
Oh majesty, oh magic.
How could they leave us so soon?
Oh majesty, oh magic,
Oh majesty, oh magic,
Oh majesty, oh magic,
Oh majesty, oh magic,
Are you finding answers
Are you speaking in tongues
Are you filled with anger
Are you filled with lust
Is it easy to bargain
Is it easy to last
Are you filled with anger
Are you filled with lust
Cross over and turn
Feel the spot don't let it burn
We all want we all yearn
Be soft don't be stern
Lullaby
Was not supposed to make you cry
I sang the words I meant
I sang
Lord, help me out
I'd take my life, but I'm in doubt
Just where my soul will lie
Dep in the earth or way up in the sky
Lord can you hear me, when I call?
Lord can you hear me, when I call?
Lord can you hear me, when I call?
Lord can you hear me, hear me at all?
All my life has left my side
Can't get enough out of life to keep me satisfied
I'm lost about everything
Lord look what state I'm in
Lord can you hear me, when I call?
Lord can you hear me, when I call?
Lord can you hear me, when I call?
Lord can you hear me, hear me at all?
Lord can you hear me, when I call?
Lord can you hear me, when I call?
Lord can you hear me, when I call?
We've come so far
We've followed the star
Harod heard
Said "bring me word"
Take the long way around the sea
Here for us
A humble birth
The son of God
Descends to earth
Take the long way around the sea
On Christmas day
On bended knee
Please accept
The gifts we bring
Take the long way around the sea
Take the long way around the sea
We turn to go
An angel shone
Said, "don't go back
To harod's throne"
Take the long way around the sea
Take the long way around the sea
Take the long way around the sea
I wanna believe
Yes, I wanna believe
I wanna believe
Yes, I wanna believe
Just keep counting the stars
Like someday you'll find out
Just how many there are
And we all can go home
'Cuz there's nothing as sad
As a man on his back
Counting stars
But, I wanna believe
Yes, I wanna believe
'Cuz there's nothing as sad
As a man on his back
There's a storm across the valley clouds are rollin' in
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders.
There's a truck out on the four lane a mile or more
away
the whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder.
He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the
and ten days on the road are barely gone.
There's a fire softly burning; supper's on the stove
but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm.
Chorus:
Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, 'n, hey it's good to be back home again
After all the news to tell him: how's you spend your
time?
And what's the latest thing the neighbors say
and your mother called last friday; "Sunshine" made her
and you felt the baby move just yesterday.
Chorus
Bridge:
And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body
down
and feel your fingers feather soft up-on me
the kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
the happiness that livin' with you brings me.
It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time
with you
it's the little things that make a house a home.
Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove.
Clean bill of health
Five years at the bell
No one will admit
The time or the places they've been
Anon
Three scales of men
Trace back to begin
No one will admit
Ignoring the age of my skin
Come clean and off with your head
The streams of bright rosy red
Your heart will do the rest
And you'll always fade
You'll always fade
Someday you'll change
But you'll always fade
Cut free the weight on your neck
The screams, the clutching of breast
So sorry about the mess
But you'll always fade
You'll always fade
Someday you'll change
If I could get you alone
Would you take me back home
You remind me that I'm weak
You remind me I can fly
You remind me I can't read
A heart that won't burst
And lips that don't thirst
I thought of you first
My love is for free, my love
My love is for free
My love is for free, my love
My love is for free
The breath of a bird
A voice never heard
But you knew every word
My love is for free, my love
My love is for free
My love is for free, my love
My love is for free
The dream is enough
The price is too much
But it's nothing to us
My love is for free, my love
My love is for free
My love is for free, my love
I'm waiting like a child
Hope runs wild
The truth can hide
Sometimes right behind the sorrow
I see beyond the smile
Cheat and lie
I'm not blind
Suicide still I'll be here tomorrow
Dogs come home
Even the stone finds a place within the hollow
Yeeee
I'm waiting like a child
Hope runs wild
The truth can hide
Sometimes right behind the sorrow
When you became my mother, there was time
You thought I'd be a daughter, but didn't mind
And as the world began to measure, and define
We had time
We had time
You gave me light and language, and a name
You held me to the fire, to the flame
Now if I could tell the future, all the same
Why would I
We have time
Deep beneath the surface of the earth
So many bodies waiting for the word
When every child and mother will return
Forever
Dream the day
Caught in the sway
Miles gone inside
Into the air
I take a breath
No longer care
To be the death
Even time
We took a light
Songs leaving alive
Into the air
I take a breath
No longer dare
To be the death of you
Of you
So blue
So blue
With you
And into the air
We take a chance
Can no longer bare
To miss the dance
With you
With you
So blue
So blue
With you
With you
So blue
So blue
With you
With you
So blue
So blue
With you
With you
So blue
well you could always count on your friends to get you high
that's right
and you could always count on the 'rents to get you by
you could fly
and now they make you piss into a plastic cup
and give it up
the cup will probably be here long after we're gone
what's wrong
they'll probably dig it up a thousand years from now
and how
they'll probably wonder what the hell we used it for
and more
this must be the cup the king held every night
as he cried
well maybe you should go out and write your own damn song
At the end of the story
At the started of sun
That's the part that just ruined me
On my own
How I want turns the hungry
How I hope turns a hole
How I feel turns the angry
On my own
So if you wake up before me
If you find you're all wrong
Then is nothing worth holy
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
Some holy ghost
Keeps me hanging on
Hanging on
Some holy ghost
Keeps me hanging on
Hanging on
I feel the hands
But I don't see anyone
Anyone
I feel the hands
But I don't see anyone
It's there and gone
Feeds my passion for transcendence
Turns my water into wine
Makes me wish I was empty
Now I don't know much
But I can tell when something's wrong
And something's wrong
But some holy ghost
Keeps me
Clarence White and Josh Muray
I never thought I'd see the day
It hurts to hear but it's so easy to say
Clarence White
I know I shouldn't be afraid
You think it's pretty (oh no)
I am a raging river
I'll cut through your city (oh no)
Just like the destroying angel
The one from the movie (oh no)
The one with Charlton Heston
That used to scare me
But I know I shouldn't be afraid
I know I shouldn't be afraid
I know I shouldn't be afraid
You hide you always hide
So deep inside the amethyst mine
The color bleeds and fades to white
What used to be a violent mind
Afraid the things they say
They reach and stranger get their way
Still you choose to take the edge of the room
Oooh time, it pulls out your eyes
It makes you choose between two lifes
So what, you've got that too
You're nobody's stupid girl
Here I am just make it stop
I can tell the whole world
to get out of the way
if I could just make it stop.
If I could just make it stop,
breaking my heart,
get out of the way,
if I could just make it stop.
You see them close to the edge,
I'm at the end of my road
the road is starting the threat,
I'm trying to keep my hold.
You say I'm nothing I'm not
but I'm not what I seem,
get my back off the wall
If I could just make it stop
Chorus:
If I could just make it stop
I can tell the whole world
to get out of the way
if I could just make it stop.
If I could just make it stop,
breaking my heart,
get out of the way,
if I could just make it stop.
If I could just make it stop.
Now I'm looking up from a tempt from a whole
see nothing but blue sky, shining on my soul,
as I enter the court and I'm .not
we could get where I'd go in,
if I could just make it stop.
If I could just make it stop
I can tell the whole world
to get out of the way
if I could just make it stop.
You try to sleep
'cause there's never enough
You try to sleep
But then you never wake up
Inside the dream
You take a step
You come to see
To see your debt
Try to sleep
Don't look at the camera
Try to sleep
You stretch your wings
You take a breath
You hide your feet
Embrace your head
A tragedy
No, there's never enough
You try to sleep
But then you never wake up
Try to sleep
Don't look at the camera
Try to sleep
Four score
Even
Alas
You'll tell me your
Fortunes
Taken
The stand
Forsaken
But none forgotten
Borrowed, bought(en)
And so
All in, all out of
Something worth everything
All in, all out of
Everything worth nothing
But none forgotten
Borrowed, bought(en)
So I took my guitar
And I threw down some chords
And some words I could sing without shame
And I soon had a song
I played it around
For some friends but they all said the same
They said music's for fools
You should go back to school
The future is prisms and math
So I did what they said
Now my children are fed
'Cause they pay me to do what I'm asked
I forgot all my songs
The words now are wrong
And I burned my guitar in a rage
But the fire came to rest
In your white velvet breast
One more dance
Before they take away the light
One more spin around the line
One more step
And then we'll turn and face the debt
Jesse's gone inside out
Someone brush her quiet mouth
Charity's friend she was I know
Fill her cup and leave her alone
Distance fails but it keeps her alive
Thinks that evil's on her side
Gets rid of things that don't matter
She used to let me cut her hair
Jesse's gone inside out
Hold me closer than that
Hold me closer than that
How'd we get here so fast?
Hold me closer than that
On a dark, raging sea
Ships lay sleeping beneath
Overhead, spinning past
Hold me closer than that
Things we lost in the fire
How'd we ever get by?
Words will never take back
Hold me closer than that
Hold me closer than that
Hold me closer than that
How'd we get here so fast?
You and your daughter
And your father flew airplanes
You and your sister
Can tell by the back of her hands
It was a dinosaur act, dinosaur act
Dinosaur act, dinosaur act
And after expenses
And pulling up fences no more airplanes
And putting your foot down
A nail shot up like a bright red snowflake
Just like a dinosaur act, dinosaur act
Dinosaur act, dinosaur act, dinosaur
And all through the dust
You feel that you must hear the strings of a dove
But it's a dinosaur act, dinosaur act
Before you speak
The words are plain to see
Upon your skin, they sing, they dance and spin
So what, pray tell
Will save you now?
Here comes that cold sunrise
And at the peak
We reach to cue the strings
They ring, so sweet, they lay in plain relief
So what, pray tell
Will save you now?
Here comes that cold sunrise
It was one of those days
Of salvation and loss
Just one of those days
When you weight for the worst
First they hold you for a ransom
Then they buy you for a song
Just one of those days
When you laugh at what you've done
How they ripped you from the pages
Oh you waited for the best
It was one of those days
I'm not scared of waking up
I'm not afraid of getting cut
'Cause you can't take that stuff to Canada
You can't take it anywhere
You could la, la, la, la, la
And you could lie to all your friends
But you can't take that stuff to Canada
You can't take it anywhere
I used to have a golden tongue
But now the words just feel like stones
'Cause you can't take that stuff to Canada
See your reflection in the mind
You keep your revelations wide
They knew just where to draw the line
You let them got you every time
Though it breaks your heart
We had to sell the farm
Back to California where it's warm
It fell around you like the stars
You picked up everything they dropped
And though it breaks you like a song
You had some secrets of your own
And though it breaks your heart
We had to sell the farm
Back to California where it's warm
It's warm, it's warm
And though it breaks your heart
We had to sell the farm
Nights were just too long
With all your children gone
Would it keep you strong?
If I said it with a song
Last night just north of Houston
Broadway so many people
Through your third story window
I see my favorite record store
Where is the laughter?
Where is the laughter?
Smiling, tasting the irony
Broadway so many people
Outside just round the corner
Letter and Bob Marley t-shirts
Where is the laughter?
Where is the laughter?
Baby, 10000 years ago
Broadway so many people
Sleeping down at the factory
Waiting and singing so softly
Where is the laughter?
Where is the laughter?
The garden of Eden
The voices of children
Once you felt alive
Present for a time
Those below you whore themselves
Those above you know
You're a friend of mine
Bound by chains and wires
Those below you whore themselves
Our bodies break
And the blood just spills and spills
But here we sit debating that
It's just a shame
My hand just kills and kills
There's gotta be an end to that
To my mouth
Frozen shut
Mother's son
Paper cut
Belarus
Belarus
Belarus
Belarus
Pressing wine
Brighter sun
Black and white
Fading on
Belarus
Belarus
Belarus
You swallowed your tongue
Now you've had your fill
They said you did nothing
Because you stood still
Your wet ragged wings
And cold tiny hands
Will never be able
To count all that sand
They said you were sick
Yeah, you're mighty ill
They said you did nothing
And the light, it burns your skin
In a language you don't understand
It's not that hard
It is not that hard
That's not all
Voices small
Heed them either way they call
Two-step around the room
Kneel down on white
Two-step around the room
Kneel down on white
Two-step around the room
You can kneel down on white
Two-step around the room
You can kneel down on white
That's not all
Voices small
Heed them either way they call
And the light, it burns your skin
I never thought you took me seriously
I never thought you'd be the one to turn me in
I thought you saw me on the roof
You try to sleep
'cause there's never enough
You try to sleep
But then you never wake up
Inside the dream
You take a step
You come to see
To see your debt
Try to sleep
Don't look at the camera
Try to sleep
You stretch your wings
You take a breath
You hide your feet
Embrace your head
A tragedy
No, there's never enough
You try to sleep
But then you never wake up
Try to sleep
Don't look at the camera
Try to sleep
We'll call it Starfire, who will know?
I want a station of my own
I have the tools, I have my rule
I'll load the back and you can drive
Broken bodies all the time
Let's take a ride, Starfire tonight
You'll take it back
Glory and failure
You'll take it back
Pure and unpunctured
Standby
You'll take it back
You'll bring home the frame
You'll take it back
And weed through the black
Standby
Soon it will be over
I laughed under my breath over your shoulder
There's a message out tonight
Nobody's looking at the sky
Soon it will be over
I laughed under my breath, over your shoulder
You think that I don't know your name
And now your face is all in flames
You think that I don't know your name
I can't decide and I can't hide
Make up my mind it's a waste of time
Here comes the knife
You better just stand back
I could turn on you so fast
It's a hit its got soul
Steal the show with your rock n' roll
With a swing like that you better just stand back
I could turn on you so fast
Just like diamonds in your hand
I'll just cut you in the end
One more step and I'll slit your neck
You'll get use to it you better just stand back
I could turn on you so fast
I could turn on you so fast
I could turn on you so fast
Just like diamonds in your hand
I could turn on you so fast
I just cut you in the end
On our way from Stockholm started to snow
And you said it was like Christmas
But you were wrong
It wasn't like Christmas at all
By the time we got to Oslo snow was gone
And we got lost
The beds were small but we felt so young
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
Wait it's late we've missed the date
Gone I guess with the rest
They'll never wake us in time
They'll never wake us in time
Maybe we'll wait 'til July
Now at last I hear them pass
Gone I guess with the rest
They'll never wake us in time
They'll never wake us in time
Maybe we'll wait 'til July
Then August
September
October
November
I verified the math
And double-checked the syntax
I tried to heal your body
But it just kept coming back
You never had a chance
I thought I was a poet
I had so much to say
But now I want to see the blood
I want to make them pay
Yeah, I can see the day
I made a place for children
They wanted all the answers
I gave them all my lectures
And now they're perfect dancers
'Cause I'm a perfect dancer
Sha la la la la
Joan of Arc
Will never save you now
But then Joan of Arc
Never promised much
She never knew your name, love
She never knew your name
O-oh
Such a precious hand
Such a guilty hand
O-oh
Joan of Arc
Will never save you now
But then Joan of Arc
Never promised much
Joan of Arc
Will never save you now
But then Joan of Arc
Never promised much
was a child
I was on fire
But I stayed alive
While all else died
I held my breath
What could I say
And I closed my eyes
Like Marvin Gaye
But now I've had enough
It's in the drugs
It's in the drugs
It's in the drugs, ahhh
It's in the drugs
You had your plan
A heavy hand
But the weight was more
Than you could stand
Breaking like dolls
Singing like birds
We always get
What we deserve
But now I've had enough
It's in the drugs
It's in the drugs
It's in the drugs, ahhh
It's in the drugs
They put the treasure deep inside us
Inside us, inside us
They thought the desert would divide us
Divide us, divide us
With silence
They filled our hearts and hands with violence
With violence, with violence
It's time to leave the fields behind us
Behind us, behind us
Filling holes with tiny sounds
Shiny from the inside out
Picture of you where it began
In metal
In metal
Partly hate to see you grow
And just like your baby shoes
Wish i could keep your little body
In metal
In metal
In metal
In metal
In metal
Tell me is the time as slow
Only when your eyes are closed
Do we stand to waste some more?
Am I still immune?
Am I naked too?
Does it taste like home?
Only when your eyes are closed
Have you been away too long?
Am I still immune?
Am I naked too?
Am I naked too?
Tell me is the time as slow
Only when your eyes are closed?
Is the point to stay too long?
Am I still immune?
Am I naked too?
Am I naked too?
If you were born today
We'd kill ya by age eight
Never get the chance to say:
Joy to the world and
Peace on the earth
Forgive them for they know not what they do
Blessed are the meek and
Blessed are the humble
Blessed are the ninety and nine
Deny the flesh
Deny all that's evil
Tonight you'll deny me thrice
If you were born today
We'd kill ya by age eight
Never get the chance to say...
I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I
said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I
said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Home, everybody wants to go home
Even when they're old
Even when they're small
Home, everybody wants to go home
Even when they're old
Even when they're small
Home
Home
Home
You’ll be my Charlie
And can be your George
Let’s bury the hatchet
Like the Beatles and the Stones
They’ll play our songs forever
On the radio
Let’s bury the hatchet
Like the Beatles
The Beatles and the Stones
I know you got a thing
For ordinary guys
But I’ve heard your records
And they sound a lot like mine
So you’ll be my Mary-Ann
And I’ll be your Yoko
Let’s bury the hatchet
Like the Beatles
The Beatles and the Stones
Like the Beatles
If you see my daughter
Don't tell her I'm scared
Forty days without water
Feel my hands on her hair
I fear.
As a child I hid between the pages
Cutting secret phrases overhead
But things we turn our back on when we're older
Only drag us back into our bed
Something's turning over
You'd better get out while you can
Something's turning over
Angels setting fire to the ocean
Pirates making liars out of men
No, I don't think we'll ever see their faces
I don't think we'll ever see the end
Something's turning over
You'd better get out while you can
Something's turning over
Get out while you're young
Every now and then I feel them breathing
Moving through the rooms so quietly
And just because you never hear their voices
Don't mean they won't kill you in your sleep
They tell you come tomorrow
Nothing for you now
You listen so intently
And slide
Hearing only yourself
You wait for the truth
How can you get it
When all you do
At times I see you, you silver rider
Sometimes your voice is not enough
Your face in windows, outside forever
Nobody dreamed you'd save the world
Nobody dreamed you'd save the world
Your march is over, the great destroyer
She passes through you like a knife
Oh take me with you, you silver rider
Sometimes your voice is not enough
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
they're gonna build a ladder
it's gonna take you forever
you're always such a disaster
but all you hear is laughter
they want to keep you for more tests
stick a needle in your chest
and send you home to your own bed
and kiss your beautiful forehead
You were discovered bended over the dead
Only to find out you were not even in the room
See through but solid, holy but complete
All will be followed
The sea is a long, long way from me
I'd go there if I had the time
Where would you go if the gun fell in your hands?
Home to the kids or to sympathetic friends?
Oh sandinista, oh sandinista
Oh sandinista, take my side
Deep through the clouds hear them marching up slowly
Fresh with the blood of your father so holy
Oh sandinista, oh sandinista
I'm tired of waking up in the same clothes
And the same holes in my skin
The same notes in the same hair
All soldiers
They're all gonna die
And all the little babies
They're all gonna die
All the poets
And all the liars
And all you pretty people
Once I was lost to the point of disgust
I had in my sight
Lack of vision, lack of light
I have hard, I have fast
Mercy me, never last
Then in the dust, all the things we discussed
Were thrown to the wind
So at last, we begin
'Cause we fall hard, we fall fast
I can't see
Sing the darker of
Pissing on my toes
Knowing what I know
I know
I'm waiting
Like a loyal whore
Under every stone
Lovers sleep alone
Alone
Alone
Lovers sleep alone
Alone
peanut butter toast
and American bandstand
teach me how to cook
teach me how to dance
nobody's up
I don't need anybody
peanut butter toast
I'm over the ocean
Over the hills, over the dell
Over the fireline
Over the sand, over the plan
Over the empire
And if I belong, then I'll be longer than expected
