Sweet Euphoria mine is the heart you own
You lost the grace of the hands that harmed you
In the daze of a thousand yawns
Lost my love, as it is I'm truly gone
In your morning I will sleep
Fire on an open palm
Death for Jesus and plastic armies
Wouldn't bring me back again
Sweet as ether eyes I'm blind to them
And in your aching hour
Time wilts like flowers
Sleeping on land-mine pillows
Tired angels save my love for the lasting one
Sweet Euphoria mine is the heart you stole
Touched and broken are the things you love
Using stars to light your candles
Warms my face but I can't remember yours
Gone are your dandelions falling like mine
Falling like daydream mangos
Diving swallows
Save my love
Save my love
Save my love for the lasting one
I have an injury
It's there for all to see
They pay to watch as the blood pours out
And it's my priviledge
Cause I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Of losing my mind
The fasination lives
Inside the world that spins
Around the scene of the accident
And they're most interested
When you're in danger
When you're in danger
When you're in danger
Of losing your mind
Of losing your mind
When I walk along the street
I see you all who know your sanity
Is hanging by a thread
I went to church today
To pray it all away
I watched the meek pass the hat around
But I'd already paid
Cause I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Yeah i'm in danger
Of losing my mind
Of losing my mind
Losing my mind
Words get tangled on your tongue
And you stumble on your feet
When you miss somebody
And everywhere you think you see them
Walking down the street
When you miss somebody
When you miss somebody
You tell yourself a hundred thousand times
Nobody ever lives forever
So you give it one more try
To wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Every hurtful thing you ever said
Is ringing in your ear
When you miss somebody
And everything of beauty that you see
Only brings a tear
When you miss somebody
When you miss somebody
You tell yourself everything will be alright
Try to stand up strong and brave
When all you want to do is lay down and die
How long I've waited for an answer or a sign
Lonely and weary from
The troubled task of trying
To wave goodbye
So now you start to recognize
That every single path you see
Leads to a tear in your eye
Think of a time
When morning will come
And you will wake up without the feeling
That half the world has gone insane
You'll open your eyes
Reading your paper, a drink from your cup
No one was burning down time while you were sleeping
I've never seen but I believe
In a promised land
Why can't we pull this together?
One and all, now and forever
Why can't we pull this together?
We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound
Think of a place that you could believe in whatever you want
Not keep it secret
Have to risk your life just to be yourself
A place where you'll walk safely no matter your color or age
More than the greed of you and me
Decides the fate of the day
I'd never seen but I believe
In a promised land
Why can't we pull this together?
One and all, now and forever
Why can't we pull this together?
We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound
I'd rather see you setting free than watch the curtains coming down
Think of a life you won't take the breath from somebody else
One where you're seeking more than yourself
Why can't we pull this together?
One and all, now and forever
Why can't we pull this together?
We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound
Why can't we pull this together?
Now and forever
Pull this together
We can say we finally found a world that's safe and sound
Whenever I'm hurt, you are my nurse
You stand beside me through all seasons
You clean up my face, you fill up my space
With white linen and syringes
Out on the road you carry my load
Make it lighter when I feel weak
And when i am blind you crawl in my mind
And make me wiser than I could ever be alone
I know it ain't easy
I know it's getting harder for you
I know it ain't easy
But these are the roads that we choose
When I make a mess you wash and you dress me
When I'm wired you talk me down
When I'm a fool you're calm and you're cool
I never want for anything when you're around
When I'm in your bed, all you ever do
Is treat me with respect, but I don't know how
I know It ain't easy
Yes, I know it's getting harder for you
I know it ain't easy
But these are the roads that we choose
Though I've made some big mistakes
You don't complain at all
Even when you come and find me
Crying like a baby
Standing up in the bathtub
Whenever I'm hurt, you are my nurse
You stand beside me through all seasons
You're patient when I'm slow, warm when I'm cold
You're everything I'm not, you know everything I don't
I know it ain't easy
I know it's getting harder for you
I know it ain't easy
But these are the roads that we choose
These are the roads that we choose
As I fall I leave a scar upon the sky
A simple note for you, I'll wait for your reply
And in your answer, I'll regain my will to try
So hover in the diving light
We will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun one more time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the clouded sky
And over the dumbstruck world, we will run
In these hills, they wash the golden grains away
To the valley under all of this I lay
And may you dig me out unearthed and saved
So hover in the diving light
We will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun one more time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the clouded sky
And over the dumbstruck world, we will run
We can rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun
A blood red feather leaves a scar upon my hand
No longer astounded like a painted bird on a fan
So hover in the diving light
We will rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun one more time
Close your eyes and we will fly
Above the clouded sky
And over the dumbstruck world, we will run
We can rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun
We can rip the night
Out of the arms of the sun
We can rip the night
On the silent night so out of place
I almost lost my nerve
When I saw you walk into my space
A woman like you I could not replace
And it took some patience to catch your eye
Patience to win your heart
Now it feels like I don't have to worry at all
It's finally forever
There's no hill I would not climb for you
No bridge I wouldn't cross
Not a moment passes in my life
That you're not on my mind
Together or apart
And it took some patience to catch your eye
Patience to win your heart
Now it feels like I don't have to worry at all
It's finally forever
Anytime you're lost
Anywhere you're found
Anytime you want
I will be around
Anywhere you seek
Anywhere you stand
Anytime you fall
Anywhere you limp
Even if you break
Anytime I can I will be there for you
I know that you'll understand
You'll understand
Now I never would have imagined this
So I thank my lucky stars
As I see you in your wedding dress
Never would have guessed you'd fill my open arms
And it took some patience to catch your eye
Patience to win your heart
Now it feels like I don't have to worry at all
Yeah it feels like I don't have to worry at all
Yeah it feels like I don't have to worry at all
It's finally forever
I know what you're looking for
You've looked in these eyes before
And all you saw was blue green water
Searching for a mirror
That would show the world not who you are
But who you wanna be
And you thought you'd found that one in me
But it's been a long time since I heard that name
He doesn't live here anymore
Don't know where he's residing
you can wait here if you want
But I don't think he's coming back
He doesn't live here anymore
Sure you've found the right place
The same address you knew before
But that won't change what lies behind the door
And what lies underneath had to change from the inside out
He doesn't live here anymore
Don't know where he's residing
I think it's better if you go
Cause I don't want him coming back
Yes I know the name sounds a little bit familiar
Like a melody to a dream
Yes I know he wore the same face, the same clothes
But that was so long ago
I know who you want to find
Somewhere is the memory of somebody I left behind
Well lets take it all in stride
Yeah it's that time to say goodbye
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen
Said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean
Little one don't be a fool
I'm a wreck when I look mighty
In euphoria I'm bruised
In confusion next I'm lightning
In complacence I am small
Through oblivion I charge
So follow my way
When I'm not leading anyone
Open and frayed
When you can see that I'm unsure
Out on my way
I'm only pure when I get lost
And you're only needing
When you're finding that I'm not
You're just looking for a boy
Bathed in infrared and sunlight
I'm all polish and reward
When I'm confident I'm hopeless
Just like everybody else
Right before they fall apart
So follow my way
When I am falling from your heart
When I'm in pain
Fever and sweet relief in one
Out on my way
Though I'm not worthy of your trust
Follow me down into a swan dive
All eyes closed tightly
Lowly, slowly now I know I like
Where you go when you're gone
Warm you hands inside my veins
I might be contagious
Through oblivion I charge
Follow my way
When I'm useless to your cause
When I derail
Calm in the patience of remorse
Out on my way
The embers of the saint inside of you
Are growing as I'm bathing in your glow
I'm swallowing the poison of your flower
And hanging on the rising of my low
Colorful and falling from your mouth
Like a painted fever in recoil
Like a lie without the pain
On a pillow of your bones
I will lay across the stones
Of your shore until the tide comes crawling back
A waning hand on silver granite ways
Will mend my broken limbs and bend my haze
I'm sleeping in the silence of your voice
I'm cradling the peril of my only choice
Colorful and falling from your mouth
Like a painted fever in recoil
Like a lie without the pain
On a pillow of your bones
I will lay across the stone
Of your shore until the tide comes crawling back
Throw my pillow on the fire
Make my bed under the eye
Of your moon until the tide comes crawling back
Even though the truth can burn inside or fall behind
I will wander through your open mind
And you will find no lie can hide
Pulled through you, and drowning in your swirl
Circling, unfolding in your will
I'm going to glide on the winds of your breathing
And alight on your guarded heart
I'm gonna tear all your temples down
I'm on a mission now
Smoldering down inside your mood
Slithering and fanning in your eyes
I'm going to dive through your crying
And sleep in your hair
Rise from your ashes and kneel in you prayers
Tear all your temples down
I'm on a mission now
And I have nothing
But then the have is not as good as the want
I'm gonna glide on the winds of your breathing
Writhe in your calm and provide your release
Weave into your wanting and needing
And reside in the heart of your strongest beliefs
I'm gonna tear all your temples down
I'm on a mission now
And I have nothing
She can do anything at all
Have anything she pleases
The power to change what she thinks is wrong
So what could she want with me?
But wait just one minute here
I can see that she's trying to read me
Suddenly I know
She's going to change the world
But she can't change me
No she can't change me
She has the daylight at her command
She gives the night its dreams
She can uncover your darkest fear
And make you forget you feel it
But wait just one minute more
I can see that she's trying to free me
Suddenly I know
She's going to change the world
But she can't change me
Suddenly I can see everything that's wrong with me
But what can I do?
I'm the only thing I really have at all
But wait just one minute here
I can see that she's trying to need me
Suddenly I know
She's going to change the world
But she can't change me
Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
Speak the rhythm all alone, Spoonman
Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me
All my friends are Indians
All my friends are brown and red, Spoonman
All my friends are skeletons
They beat the rhythm with their bones,
Spoonman
Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me
Feel the rhythm with your hands
What say you now?
The door is opening on your vigil
And I'm in my usual way
I save my breath, knowing what you're
Wanting me to say
I only love you when I'm down
You say that midnight opens its arms to me
Leaving you alone, and I fly so far away
Until the light blurs my vision
And I have nowhere to roam
I only love you when I'm down
And I only love you when I'm down
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know
I'm down all the time
Well I know you're reaching out
And you need to feel my hand
You want to be understood, yeah well I understand
I know you hold precious little hope for me
And in your hapiness
I'm always drowning in my grief
And I only love you when I'm down
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know
I'm down all the time
Hey, hey, watch out
She keep on going when the light turns red
Watch out
3 in the morning, she ain't ever going to bed
Watch out
She's going 90 in the residential zone
Watch out
She's speeding while she put her make up on
(Now, now)
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up

Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Watch out
She's driving crazy like the roads on fire
Watch out
Killing the motor and she's smoking up the tires
Hey, hey, watch out
She hit the corners with her foot on the floor
Watch out
She likes the Lincoln with the sui, suicide doors
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up

Ooh, ooh, pick it up ooh, hey, hey, ooh
Watch out
She's in the mirror but she coming on quick
Watch out
She's gonna catch ya then she leave ya to the wind
Hey, hey, watch out
She passing fools like they're going in reverse
She's gone insane I think her brakes don't work

Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
I come from far away
My boots don't know this ground
But they know it's real
It doesn't take too long
For this road to become
A battle field
And before I let one more fire go out
Understand that I won't give one inch of ground
From beneath your's and my feet
Whatever the price happens to be
I may not be The Keeper of the flame
But I am The Keeper
Beauty and truth collide
Where love meets genocide
Where laughter meets fear
Confusion all around
As I try to feed these mouths
That never known singing
And before I let one more tear hit the ground
I will be the one standing between you and the sound of the rounds
Echoing out, out of the dark
The smoke and the spark
Aimed at the heart of the flame
I am The Keeper
I cannot see the light
At the end of the tunnel tonight
My eyes are weary
And before I let one more life get erased
From the ashes I will rise
For you and the ghosts of the names
The faces and frames
The love and the pain
For you I remain, though I'm not worthy of
Being The Keeper of the flame
I am The Keeper
I tried and tried to walk away
To be the bigger man and leave
You made it hard for me, for me
It's been a long lonely road
I didn't know which way to go
You made my blood run cold
And filled me up with sorrow
There's nowhere for me to go
I'm a long way away from home
I won't go without a fight
You'll never take me alive
You'll never take me alive
Oh no, you won't ever take me alive
Oh no, you won't take me alive
Oh no, you won't ever take me alive
Oh no, you won't
I tried and tried to shed your skin
But you've controlled me from within
Your love has been a sin
I won't forget tomorrow
There's no where for me to go
I'm a long way away from home
I won't go without a fight
You'll never take me alive
You'll never take me alive
Oh no, you won't ever take me alive
Oh no, you won't take me alive
Oh no, you won't ever take me alive
Oh no, you won't
In the fire inside the circle lonely treat today
In the fire inside the circle lonely treat today
You'll never take me alive
No, no, you won't ever take me alive
No, no, you won't take me alive
No, no, you won't ever take me alive
No, no, you won't
Baby, I used to watch your flowers grow
Everybody out for my blood
Everybody want my percent
I don't want to start going off
I don't want to start talking shit
They just want to take what is mine
How much more can you get?
I already know what they want
I already know what they spent
Now maybe I think like a loner
But they looking for blood
I'm about to get what they owe
Gonna get back what they stole
Let me talk to the fans
Every time I walk in the door
They just wanna take my advance
But I won’t stop till they know, walk with me now
When I retaliate
You're gonna know
The mourning
Of sweet revenge
The pain and suffering
Will come to those
When I get even
It’s such a
Sweet revenge
I bet they won't
Stop till I quit
I bet they won't leave
Till I go
Ain’t gonna
Hurt me a bit
One monkey won't
Stop the show
I've been through
Dirt and sand
Traveled to
Foreign lands
Been to hell
And come back
I ain’t gonna
Go there again
Why they wanna
Cause me to trip
Why they wanna
See me take a fall
They wanna get
Something for nothing
Wanna see me
Jumpin’ and runnin’
Let me talk to the fans
Never gonna stop doing this
Till I'm deep in the ground
I’m way too far to give in
So open promise fades
and the sun forgets to rise
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
but it's better I stay dry
No more than two drinks away
from crying
Stare into the glass
and wait for the time to pass
And thank you for the offer
but you know I must decline
No more than two drinks away
from crying
There used to be a time
When I could hold my head up high
My life stretched out before me
and rivers flowed with wine
and had my love beside me
and everything was fine
But now the ride is over
It's hard to say goodbye
So open promise fades
and midnight turns to day
I'd love to drown my sorrow
but I cannot tell a lie
No more than two drinks away
It could've been her golden hair
That turned my head
I didn't look to stare
Like I was hypnotized
But I was fixed
On how she pointed slowly down
And low I sank
And still without a sound
The world was far away
And I was tricked
It could've been her silver skin
That drew me on
I didn't mean to spin
Like I was mesmerised
But I was rapt
Without a name or memory
I waited there
Too scared to even breathe...
She sang... she sang... she sang...
She sang
"Tell me you love me
And beg me to stay"
She sang
"Tell me you love me
Before it's too late"
She sang
"Give me your life
Or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again"
It could've been her crystal eyes
That made me stop
I didn't want to sigh
Like I was stupefied
But I was thrown
And at that point of no return
My whole life hanging
On a single word
To be hers evermore
Or mine alone...
She sang... she sang... she sang...
She sang
"Tell me you love me
And beg me to stay"
She sang
"Tell me you love me
Before it's too late"
She sang
"Give me your life
Or I must fly away
There the soldiers, in the sunlight
Kill the center of a man in endless suicide
By the night light, in foreing sky
Is a holstered, bridled child spinning 'round the flame?
Each is loved now or remembered
By the mask they wore years before the future
And the horse falls in the smoke filled riot
The center of a child grows in new disguise
Where are the songs from the sane minds?
And where are words from the sound mouths?
I can't understand how they silence the voices
It's a new day, in the old life
He looks healthy with a tan on the white sheath
Across the table, where the blood dries
Where infinity will greet these earthly confines
Where are the songs from the sane minds?
And where are words from the sound mouths?
I can't understand how they silence the voices
That say no
That say no
It's a new day, in the old life
In the silence of the absence
Where are the songs from the same minds?
And where are words from the sound mouths?
I can't understand how they silence the voices
That say no
I take a minute to tell you right
And you can say what you want
And turn around every night
Somehow you're always going off
Doesn't matter what I done
Or if I even crossed the line
You start to holler, going for blood
Girl, it doesn't have to be a fight
Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault
Messing with my brain when you wanna see me fall
There may come a time when I don't bother you at all
It isn't my call, it isn't my call
Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
There's no need to scream, baby
I'm standing right in front of your face
Why? I know sometimes we don't get along
So Chris sing the second verse to her, like this
Take a minute to tell you now
And I don't have to raise my tone
Take the level and bring it down
I just want you to know
I got no trouble with what you said
I don't even think you're wrong
It's how you say it, you lose your head
Girl, I'm standing right in front of you
Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault
Messing with my brain when you wanna see me fall
There may come a time when I don't bother you at all
It isn't my call, it isn't my call
Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Stolen Prayer - The Last Temptation, 1994
I walk the streets alone
On feeble bones I ride
My sins are etched in stone
I got no place to hide
Well, I was unshakable
In what I did believe
I feel so breakable
But have I been deceived
You showed me your paradise
And your carnival of souls
But my heart keeps telling me
That ain't the place to go
Well, I'm not invincible
So I want you to leave
Well, I'm so convincible
But have I been deceived
I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Well, tell me why I'm so afraid
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer
I remember yesterday
When things were black and white
Never thought I'd get confused
On what was wrong and right
Well, I'm not unbreakable
With armor on my skin
Well, it's not unthinkable
I could be fooled again
I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Well, tell me why I'm so afraid
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer
You steal another minute from my life
You cut a little deeper with your knife
You steal a little breath from my air
And you don't care
And even though I'm chokin'
All my words are spoken
I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Take this world and try it on
Man, you're lookin' good boy
Stick your neck out on the block
So you won't miss nothing
Stretch your finger, grab your hair
Don't you feel like screaming
Feel the blood rush from your veins
Now you're a perfect zombie
Now I'm on my knees
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
Summer nights and long warm days
Are stolen as the old moon falls
My mirror shows another face
Another place to hide it all
Another place to hide it all
And I'm lost behind
The words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by
Sleeping with a full moon blanket
Sand and feathers for my head
Dreams have never been the answer
And dreams have never made my bed
Dreams have never made my bed
And I'm lost behind
The words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by
Now I wanna fly above the storm
But you can't grow feathers in the rain
And the naked floor is cold as hell
This naked floor reminds me
Oh the naked floor reminds me
And I'm lost behind
Words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by
If I should be short on words
And long on things to say
Could you crawl into my world
And take me worlds away?
Should I be beside myself
And not even stay
And I'm lost behind
Words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
I heard the sound bite
I read your words right
I saw the light
I heard you singing
I know this song
It's my turn to write
I put this hook inside
So you won't soon forget
I got the radar
I can see so far
With my poison eye
Yeah my poison eye
When I look hard
I see in the stars
What you've done and what lies
Awaiting for you
When I look down
I see the ground
I won't make a sound
I won't need to look at you
Inside the phone lines
You think you'll hide
And you'll be alright
You're in my sidelines
You'll have no time
Even to cry
I see your pain
I see my face on your fear
I got the radar
I can see so far
With my poison eye
Yeah my poison eye
When I look hard
I see in the stars
What you've done and what lies
Awaiting for you
When i look down
I see the ground
I won't make a sound
I won't need to look at you
I can see sparks
Over a lake at midnight
I see the smiles
Falling from your face
But you're in the dark
You're in a maze
All you can do is sit here and wait for me
And I'm coming
I know the low road
I wrote the code
To break in your heart
I see the angles
I draw the cards
That burden you so
I have the sight
That follows you morning and night
I got the radar
I can see so far
With my poison eye
Yeah my poison eye
We met at party bout almost 2 years ago…
But there was a part of me that she just didn’t know…
I tried to hide it from her, but it didn’t take long…
Before she would have found me, and…
See where I go.
Wanted to tell her…but I just didn’t know how…
And every time I’d spit the words, wouldn’t come out…
Everyone will tell yah that old habits die hard…
N it’s just the same for me…
She wouldn’t compromise,
She’d wanna stand her ground,
She wouldn’t talk to me
She wouldn’t make the sound
She wanna’ say goodbye
I wanna’ reconcile
What type of shit is she on?
I should’ve left that side of town……….. alone
I should’ve left that side of the town……. alone
I should’ve left that side of town ………… alone
A long…..Time ago.
I should’ve left that side of town……….. alone
I should’ve left that side of the town……. alone
I shoud’ve left that side of town …………alone
A long…..Time ago.
Guilty, Is getting to me but she wasn’t home
Keep trying to call but she wont pick up her phone
my conscience is speaking to me, But I’m in the wrong
She dont wanna talk to me
She’d rather go
Tried to apologize for the lies that I told…
She don’t wanna hear it, n’ told me to leave her alone…
I didn’t appreciate her until she was gone…
N now it’s too late for that….
She wouldn’t compromise,
She’d wanna stand her ground,
She wouldn’t talk to me
She wouldn’t make the sound
She wanna’ say goodbye
I wanna’ reconcile
What type of shit is she on?
I should’ve left that side of town……….. alone
I should’ve left that side of the town……. alone
I should’ve left that side of town …………alone
A long…..Time ago.
I should’ve left that side of town……….. alone
I should’ve left that side of the town……. alone
I shoud’ve left that side of town …………alone
A long…..Time ago.
She won’t even talk to me .NO!
She wont even talk to me ..NO!
She won’t even talk to me..NO!
She won’t…. She won’t!
She wouldn’t compromise,
She’d wanna stand her ground,
She wouldn’t talk to me
She wouldn’t make the sound
She wanna’ say goodbye
I wanna’ reconcile
What type of shit is she on?
I should’ve left that side of town……….. alone
I should’ve left that side of the town……. alone
I should’ve left that side of town …………alone
A long…..Time ago.
I should’ve left that side of town……….. alone
I should’ve left that side of the town……. alone
I shoud’ve left that side of town …………alone
Nowhere but you
I'm gone until I'm within you
Nowhere but you
There is no (better) place that I've been to
And if I'm condemned
Let me rest on my pillow
And dream of those moments so few
And if I'm blessed
I'll be chasing your shadow
There I go
Nowhere but you
Nowhere but you
Nowhere but you
When you were here
I thought that I would never miss you
When you were gone
I felt that I had never lived here
And if I'm condemned
Let me rest on my pillow
And dream of those moments so few
And if I'm blessed
I'll be chasing your shadow
There I go
Nowhere
Nowhere but you
Nowhere but you
Nowhere but you
Nowhere
Hello, I know there's someone out there,
who can understand, and whose feeling,
the same way as me.
I'm 24, and I've got everything to live for,
but I know now, that it wasn't meant to be.
Cause all has been lost and,
all has been won,
and there's nothing left for us to save.
But now I know that I don't wanna be alone today,
so if you're finding, that you're feeling just the same...
Call me now it's alright,
It's just the end of the world.
You need a friend in the world,
cause you can't hide.
So call and I'll get right back,
if your intentions are pure,
I'm seeking a friend, for the end, of the world.
I've got a photograph I send it off today,
you will see that, I am perfectly sane.
Not for a lifetime or forever any day,
cause we know now, that just won't be the case.
With no commitment and no confessions and,
no little secrets to keep.
No little children or,
houses with roses,
just the end of the world and me.
Cause all has been gone and, all has been done,
and there's nothing left for us to say.
But we could be together as they blow it all away
Little girl, I love when she talks to me
Got to smile when she walks that walk with me
I want the girl but I want a lot
Might cross my mind, but that's where it stops
Oh, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of, part of, part of me
I love the girl, I'm loving the dress she wears
She's got a hold, got a hold of my neck, oh yeah
I wanna cry, the way that she moves
I want the girl but not what she's going through
Oh, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of, part of, part of me
She was so friendly, I had one too many
But now that they tell she was rubbing up against me
But I swear, never meant a thing, she was just a fling
There's no other woman who does it like you
That bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of, part of, part of me
Baby, I used to watch your flowers grow
Now it's raining and all your petals turns to stone
I've been praying, I turn around and see my rose
But you faded, you left, me now it's time to go
You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
I'll tell you now I'm setting you free
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
It may be to late our time is done
Baby, I think you've got your timing wrong
Hating, exploring this while we're riding on
And it's crazy to think that I could be reborn
If you saved me now it's too late and you'll never know
You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
I'll tell you now I'm setting you free
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
It may be to late our time is done
With broken wings
(with broken wings)
I can't fly
(I can't fly)
I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine
With broken wings
(with broken wings)
I can't fly
(I can't fly)
I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
It may be to late our time is done
You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
Open your arms to the lonely shine
Lonesome as gold in a poor man's smile
See how the moon is full
Follow the push and pull
Follow the ebb and flow in the breathing tide
Come on moonchild, you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Cat on the road, down in the living night
See how the black dog grins
In the diamond light
We're dreaming and we're real
We're broken and we're healed
Give in to what you feel over what you see
Come on moonchild, you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Come on moon flower
You're so far away from now
You could bloom forever in the hour
And when if is only yes and no
And now becomes too soon
I know you'll be alright if you only
Come away to the moon
In the blue shine
Come on moonchild, you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Come on moon flower
You're so far away from now
Here come the signs
Of early-warning misery
Here come the sounds
It looks like a river up to here
Underneath my head
Here comes the sight
I might just lose it ?
Here comes the part
Where you ask me for my sympathy
I just might lose my head
Have you seen me
Can you hear me
Did you think you could win me over
I've been hard to hold
I've been hard to hold
And I'm missing
I made you get down
I made you get down on your hands and knees
But I made it up
I took you away from your misery
And you can't say it's ?
Now here comes the past
It looks like what's in front of me
This may be the last
This may be the last thing you'll see of me
And it might be your key to rest
I've been hard to hold
I learned long ago
'bout a better way of killing birds
And what it means when they die in my hands
Like a strangled heart
It never made much sense to me
Why I'd need to know the best way to do that
But you have to love the murderer I've become
As I'm standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Killing birds
I've spent my youth
Breaking down the walls my father built
Just like he did to his father before him
But then I had no home
So I tried to make a better one
It looked just like his, so I burned it down again
No there ain't a long parade of idiots
As I'm standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Killing birds
You don't have to love the murderer I've become
If I could spin a web
I would sit and wait for you
I wouldn't need a stone, I'd just poison you and tie you up
And you would be a bird
A beautiful cresent one
And your eyes would beg
But i'm just doing my job
Standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
Standing right in front of you
Standing here in front of you
I'm drinking dust
With eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
So hide your face
And tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon
You'll become a fool for words when I speak
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
My hands are rough
My fingers cold
Your heart's so young and so naive
To ever feel
For a moment that I might let you believe...
I'll melt your smile
I'll tear your wings
I'll color everything you see
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
And you don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
(Long solo...)
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what I've lived
Flutter girl
The speaker on?
Yeah, you like that?
When it all falls down
And the law don't count
And it don't seem fair
And the people don't care
Where in the world you gonna go?
Who in the world you gonna hold
When all the world keeps
Holding on at ground zero?
We'll leave it all with God
When it all falls down
And we almost drown
When the sin sinks [Incomprehensible]
I guess it's every man for himself
Where in the world you gonna go?
Who in the world you gonna hold
When all the world keeps
Holding on at ground zero?
We'll leave it all with the
When the war it rages over the ages
You can't erase it once you spill the
Blood on the concrete, river of deceit
Will you be around?
When it all falls down
And the law don't count
And it don't seem fair
And the people don't care
Where in the world you gonna go?
Who in the world you gonna hold
When all of the world keeps
Holding on at ground zero?
Ave Maria was particularly difficult to decipher since it was written in Shakespearean English, sung to the melody of the Latin version, with traditional English verses mixed together, and altered slightly to fit Cornell's rhythm (presumably).
I've included the traditional English verses parenthetically.
Ave Maria! Maiden mild!
O listen to a maiden's prayer!
For thou canst hear amid the wild
( For thou canst hear though from the wild)
Tis thou, tis thou canst save amid despair.
We slumber safely 'til the morrow,
(Safe may we sleep beneath thy care,)
Tho' we, by men, outcast, reviled;
(Tho' banish'd, outcast, and reviled;)
O maiden! See a maiden's sorrow -
O mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!
Ave Maria! Undefiled!
The flinty couch whereon we're sleeping
(The flinty couch we now must share)
Shall seem with down of eider piled,
If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
(If thy protection hover there.)
The murky cavern's air's so heavy
(The murky cavern's heavy air)
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled;
O maiden! Hear a maiden's pleading!
(Then, Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer;)
O mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!
Ave Maria! Stainless styled!
O fiends of air and earth the essence
(Foul demons of the earth and air)
From this their wonted haunt exiled
Shall flee before thy holy presence
(Shall fee before thy presence fair)
We bow beneath our care so laden
(We bow us to our lot of care)
To thy dear guidance reconciled;
(Beneath thy guidance reconciled;)
Then hear, O maiden, simple maiden!
(Hear for a maid, a maiden's prayer;)
And for a father hear a child!
With his arms around your love
Oh no, here comes the pain that you can't ignore
With his arms around your girl
He'll do all of the things you didn't do before
You had every chance, but you closed the door..
Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it
With his arms around your love
Oh yeah
Pretend that you don't mind
But you know everything that you left behind
And it would have been alright
If you'd gave half of the praise that you held inside
You thought she'd hang around for the ride...
Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it
With his arms around your love
Coming clean feels so dangerous
Just a little bit would have been enough
But you never said all the words caught in your head
As if your heart was dead
Well now its surely bled and broken up
And it would have been alright
If you'd gave half of the praise that you held inside
You thought she'd hang around for the ride...
Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it
I keep seeing your face when my eyes are closed
I'm remembering how it used to go
All the medicated, nearly comatose
A bullet out of your head, is it on that road?
So much in your mind when you kill more than time
You're sinking so low, thinking you will be high
Biting your lip while you're losing your mind
Alone God knows
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're just climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
Now you're reaching that age where you should know
How to figure it out out all on your own
On the far side of town is a room you love
Started tearing it down to get you to follow
So much in your mind when you kill more than time
You're sinking so low, thinking you will be high
Biting your lip while you're losing your mind
Alone God knows
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're just climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're just climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
The world won't rise and ease your crying
If you do nothing, if you do nothing
The world won't try to change your mind
If you don't change at all
The world won't rise and ease your crying
If you do nothing, if you do nothing
The world won't try to change your mind
If you don't change at all
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're just climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're just climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
Drunk, he's fast asleep
He's so tired, makes me weep
He stays up all night working on his songs
But then I guess we all do the same thing
He's sleepy
And so we start another day together
You and I and a million miles between us
I train my moods to bloom like flowers unfolding
Instead of fluttering around
And slowly drowning in the
Steel rain, it's taking over
The sky is open and the drones are pouring out
The day inhales in a contagious yawn
And there you smile as though the sun
Were bouncing in the
Steel rain, it's taking over
Here in our little world, the tiny world spins for me
All's well in the titled world, but there's something
Falling down in the
From the start of life
To your dying day
In the dark of night
And in the burning light of day
It's a bloody fight
And you can't walk away
There's no rest in sight
And I struggle just to slave
I'm tired of living on the front line
Of this
[Chorus]
Unholy war, unholy war
We try, we fight, until we die
Unholy war, unholy war
You see, you know, you'll always be
Unholy
I see your burning fuse
From a mile away
You take the world's abuse
Then you bow your head in shame
You gotta learn to bite the hand
That pulls your chain
There's too much sanity
It will make you go insane
I'll fight when we're all on the same side
Of this
Unholy war, unholy war
We try to fight until we die
Unholy
When you're all alone - Unholy
With your thoughts of pain - Unholy
You're a burning fuse - Unholy
Can you break the strings? - Unholy
You're shaking in your boots
You met your end today (?)
Try walking in my shoes
You'll see we've all got hell to pay
And we got battle wounds
In the lion's cage
We'll all be W's
Beneath the numbers on the page (?)
We don't talk like we used to.
The perfect present is no longer the future.
And I can't find it, trust me I looked around.
Seems like all the sand is at the bottom now.
We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold, and when to let it go.
I hope we survive because it's passing by,
I won't be surprised if it all up and blows.
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
time time time (I wish we could rewind) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
We are the shore, the wave is rising
We are the dust made out of diamonds
When metal rusts, we are all drowning
Island of man, we are surrounded
We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold, and when to let it go.
I hope we survive because it's passing by,
I won't be surprised if it all up and blows.
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
time (time, time, time, time, time) time time time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
Make a little love, make a little war, tell me how it feels dreaming without a future
have a little laugh, have a little cry, each moment gets us closer to saying goodbye
Make a little love, make a little war, tell me how it feels dreaming without a future
have a little laugh, have a little cry, each moment gets us closer to saying goodbye
Big hand keeps getting closer to the little hand all good things come to an end and turn around again
The big hand keeps getting closer to the little hand all good things come to an end
We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold, and when to let it go.
I hope we survive because it's passing by,
I won't be surprised if it all up and blows.
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
time time time (I wish we could rewind) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
time (time, time, time, time, time) time time time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
I wish we could rewind
Sleeping on the road that takes you home
Howling at the moon at midnight
I want the wrong that sets you right
I'll be praying at your bedside
How long i've been a soul in the gutter
I don't have a home or a mother or anywhere to lay my head down
Can I visit your arms?
Can i visit your legs?
I won't need your insults or praise
Won't burn in your heart
Don't worry your head
Yeah if you don't want a soul mate
I'm your soul today
Hanging on a rope from a burning tree
Singing on a broken headstone
Bleeding from an old wound
Swimming in the fever
Waiting for a ressurection
I know it's a miracle I've lived this long
I don't want to give the wrong impression
But I've come so far
Can I visit your arms?
Can I visit your legs?
I won't need your insults or praise
Won't burn in your heart
Don't worry your head
Yeah if you don't want a soul mate
I'm your soul today
Sleeping on the road that takes you home
Howling at the moon at midnight
I want the wrong that sets you right
I'll be praying at your bedside
How long I've been a soul in the gutter
Can I visit your arms
Can I visit your legs
I won't need your insults or praise
Won't burn in your heart
Don't worry your head
Yeah if you don't want a soul mate
Can I visit your arms?
Can i visit your legs?
I won't need your insults or praise
Won't burn in your heart
Don't worry your head
Yeah if you don't want a soul mate
I'm your soul today
If you take a life do you know what you'll give?
Odds are you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes I?ve deceived?
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you and I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you, are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
If you come inside things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won you never saw me change
The game that we have been playing
I've seen diamonds cut through harder men
Than you yourself but if you must pretend
You may meet your end
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you and I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you, are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
Try to hide your hand, forget how to feel
(Forget how to feel)
Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
(Spin of the wheel)
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you and I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you, are you willin' to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
(You know my name)
You know my name
(You know my name)
You know my name
You know my name
What have you done, my little spark?
Cursing my name 'cause again I put you out
Falling apart, you tell yourself you are
Dreaming only of the ones who never dream of you
I'm your disappearing one
Vanish when the curtain's drawn
But I will come again, and you will let me in
And you'll see I never disappear for long
Into your room I stumble now
Too tired to cower, and it's too late to draw you out
And there you lie like a painting of Christ
Bleeding on the heads of the ones who nailed you down
I'm your disappearing one
Vanish when the curtain's drawn
But I will come again, and you will let me in
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
Together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.
And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
Together we shall go until we die.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
Lyrics
Dark as roses, fine as sand
Feel your healing and your sting again
I hear you laughing and my soul is saved
On forgotten graves you cry
Crawl like ivy up my spine
Through my nerves and into my eyes
Cuts like anguish
Or recollections of better days gone by
But it's all right
When you're caught in pain
And you feel the rain come down
It's all right
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
It's all right
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet sunshower
Eyes like oceans so far away
A feather trail to a better way
Worried mornings turn into days
Then into worried nights
But it's all right
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh it's all right
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
Oh it's all right
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
Oh in the sweet sunshower
Oh in the sweet sunshower
In the sweet sunshower
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet sunshower
And it's all right
All you'll be you are today
Are today
It's all right
All you'll be you are today
The A.M. finds me
Home alone awake in bed
Morning blinds me
Had that dream of you again
Fog is lifting
I realize that you're not here
And how you left me
Life disappeared
Life is rejection
I know you've had your share
But this one's special
I can't compete with her
And did she tell you
Only she could know your mind
And did she sell you
I gotta say it one time
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
She can be your vision of a mother like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
But she'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She's got you thinking
Of a world where you might fit in
A whole lot better
Than the one you've been living in
And did she tell you
Only she could understand
And did she sell you
Only time will tell
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
She can be your vision of a mother like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
But she'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
She can be your vision of a mother like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
But one thing's for sure
She'll never be your man
She can be your lover
She can be your friend
A vision of a mother like the one you never had
She will know your troubles better than I can
But one thing's for sure
She'll never be your man
She'll never be your man
Never be your man
She'll never be your man
Never be your man
Never be
I had a dream the other night
You were in a bar in the corner on a chair
Wearing a long white leather coat
Purple glasses and glitter in your hair
And you said hey this is where I'm gonna sit
And buy you a drink someday
You were going to the dog shows
But you kinda lost your way
You say now I got all this room
And no money to decorate it, so some
Local customer put me in touch with the man
Upstairs, he said little man
You got no business gettin' frustrated, you gotta rest
You gotta rest you gotta reach down
And pick the crowd up
Carry back in your hands
To the promised land
Now I had some angel shine my wings, she said
Nothin' but the best for the golden boy
She made me promise not to tell I had her under
A spell singing golden words in a broken voice
And I caught some blessing on the wind
I'm feeling lighter than a whisper from a dove
I've got no hands to tie behind my back
And I'm sparking like a heart attack,
Now I've got room to spread my wings
And my messages of Love, yes love was my drug,
But that's not what I died of,
So don't think of me crying louder
Than some billion dollar baby Cause I gotta rest I gotta rest I gotta
Reach down and pick the
Hello, I know there's someone out there
Who can understand
And who's feeling the same way as me
I'm twenty-four and I've got everything to live for
But I know now that it wasn't meant to be
'Cause all has been lost and all has been won
And there's nothing left for us to save
But now I know that I don't want to be alone today
So if you find that you've been feeling just the same
Call me now it's alright
It's just the end of the world
You need a friend in the world
'Cause you can't hide
So call and I'll get right back
If your intentions are pure
I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world
I've got a photograph, I'll send it off today
And you will see that I am perfectly sane
Not for a lifetime or forever and a day
'Cause we know now that just won't be the case
There will be no commitment and no confessions
And no little secrets to keep
No little children or houses with roses
Just the end of the world and me
'Cause all has been gone and all has been done
And there's nothing left for us to say
But we could be together as they blow it all away
And we can share in every moment as it breaks
Call me now it's alright
It's just the end of the world
You need a friend in the world
'Cause you can't hide
So call and I'll get right back
If your intentions are pure
I saw the world, it was beautiful
But the rain got in and ruined it all
Then I tried to be invisible
It was impossible
Even for me
I laughed at love
It was a big mistake
In the absence of
I filled it with hate
Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all
I had the brains not to think at all
But the rain got in
And I thought too hard
On the world, and as usual
I slumped too far into the void
I tried to make everything meaningless
But the rain got in and made it a mess
Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing
But my finger's on the trigger
And I'll turn off the world
So what gives me the right
To think that I could throw away a life?
Even mine
And what makes you believe
That you could get away with getting old?
Overlapping me
Maybe to lose or to save your soul
Is a choice of how you fill the hole
And the rain got in
Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all
There's no such thing as nothing
But my finger's on the trigger
You are the road that I will travel, you are the words I write
You are the ocean I will swallow, you are the wind I ride
You are the cause to keep my head up high, I'll never say goodbye
You gotta know I'll stay beside you right till the day I die
I don't want to change anymore
I've already paid
I don't have to pray anymore
Because my soul has been saved
And now whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away
Whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away
Whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away, never far away
You're the blood that's in my veins, you're my second skin
I'm a feather on the wind, you will bring me in
Every heart should have a beat, every night a dream
Every king should have a queen, every saint a sin
I don't want to change anymore
I've already paid
I don't have to pray anymore
Because my soul has been saved
And now whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away
Whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away
Whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away, never far away
When I go hot you make sure I don't break
Gimme life inside of heaven's gates, I know
It's forever, it's forever
And you taught me how to live like blood comes first
Gave me definition for the worst, I know
That there ain't no space between you and me
Whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away
Whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away
Whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away, never far away
Far away, far away
Love me to death cause I need the sleep
I've been wide awake
She hit me with a hand of broken nails
It hurts to give
When my heart has had too much to take
Another blow
Another broken spell
And it hits so hard
Heart fist
Love me to the head and hurts too bad
You're going all around
(I don't know why you can be so cold)
Oh yeah
It beats so hard into my chest
I prop my feet against the ground
(You've got to bite the hand that feeds you)
All right
I'm going down so why put up a fight
It's gonna hit me
It's gonna hit me
Heart fist
Don't leave another bomb to blow my head
It's gonna hit me
It's gonna hit me
[Chorus]
Love me to death cause I need the sleep
I've been wide awake
She hit me with a hand of broken nails
It hurts to give
When my heart has had too much to take
And you know how to hit it
Heart fist
Heart fist
Heart
Heart fist
Into the way of pumping blood from me
Alive before I drown
(I don't know, how do you think so cold)
All right
You lure me to your bed of nails
And then hit me when I'm down
(You gotta bite the hand that feeds you)
All right
I'm going down so why put up a fight
It's gonna hit me
It's gonna hit me
Heart fist
Don't leave another bomb to blow my head
It's gonna hit me
Yeah, it's gonna hit me
Heart fist
You love to hit me when I'm down
And set me up again
(It's like never getting up from a bad dream)
(Chorus)
I feel the pain that brings me to the ground
I feel another fist begin to pound
Bleed everything and love into submission
Cause I will hit you like a heart condition
(Chorus)
When it all adds up
You don't mean that much to me
Just another kiss to leave me when I'm down
And it hits so hard
You've got a FADED sky
You've got no breathing room
You got a wasted life
You got nothing to do
Get up, get OFF the floor
I said get up
Do something more
You need a backbone, to roll with the world
You gotta get you one to RUN WITH THE BULLS
(You ready,)
(You ready,)
(Get ready,)
You got pint of blood, you got a losing HAND
You put a house of cards, on a HILL OF SAND
Get up,
get OFF the floor
I said get up,
Do something more,
You need a backbone, to roll with the world
You gotta get you one to RUN WITH THE BULLS
(You ready,)
(You ready,)
(GET ready,)
You got a fatal flaw
Skeleton made of straw
Images on the wall
Keeping you in the dark
You're in a pack of wolves
Trying to live alone
If you're gonna BE A MOLE
Every time the blood runs to my head, I hear the ring
Something to remind me I'm not dead or caught in between
I listen to the voice and what it says, it's never sweet
Something I was born into I guess, living in me
No prize, nothing I pay will make it all alright
Nothing I see will make it lose sight
Nothing I take will make me sleep at night, sleep at night
When I look within I feel like I should be running
Running, running, running
I will never shake this feeling 'till I feel nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me
Enemy, enemy, enemy
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me
Enemy, enemy, enemy
Every time I take another breath I feel the sting
Everyone around me seems so numb, I feel everything
No prize, nothing I pay will make it all alright
Nothing I see will make it lose sight
Nothing I take will make me sleep at night, sleep at night
When I look within I feel like I should be running
Running, running, running
I will never shake this feeling 'till I feel nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me
Enemy, enemy, enemy
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me
Enemy, enemy, enemy
Taking my time to untangle the wires
And stare into my sanity
Dropping the hammer and pulling the trigger
I know now the bullet is me
I am the enemy inside of me
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me
Enemy, enemy, enemy
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me
Enemy, enemy, enemy, I'm the enemy
I should've looked back sometime alone
I should've looked back sometime alone
I should've looked back sometime alone, a long time ago
I should've looked back sometime alone
I should've looked back sometime alone
I should've looked back sometime alone, a long time ago
Come on now, the curtain is drawn
And tomorrow stands before you
Dressed and draped in a coal black cape like a crow
He ignores you
Look again, there's a beautiful girl
Covered cinnamon, a holy land smile
It's the great disappearing act
Done once again for tomorrow crowd
As we're chasing our tails
Biting our nails, so strong and frail
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down, build and tear down
We've run out of time to say
How did it get so late? I'll never know
Step outside, now the door's open wide
And the minions are eager to find him
Put a million miles under your heels
And you're still behind him
Cover your clocks with your chains and your locks
While the seasons get hotter and colder
Stretch your faces and lie about your ages
And still, oh, we're gonna get older
As we're chasing our tails
Biting our nails, so strong and frail
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down, build and tear down
We've run out of time to say
How did it get so late? I'll never know
I'll never know
Hang onto your fingers making your hands unwind
He will escape you every time
From under your pillows
Through open windows and out of the veils
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down, build and tear down
We've run out of time to say
How did it get so late? I'll never know
I'll never know, I'll never know
You call me a dog well thats fair enough
cause it aint no use to pretend
Youre wrong
When you call me out I cant hide anymore
I have no disguise you cant see through
Well you say its bad luck
To have fallen for me
Well what can I say to make it good for you
You wore me out like an old winter coat
Trying to be safe from the cold
But when its my time to throw
The next stone
Ill call you beautiful if I call at all
You tell me Im low cause Ive slept on the floor
And out in the woods with the badgers & wolves
You threw me out cause I went digging for gold
And I came home with a handful of coal
But when its my time to throw the next stone
Ill call you beautiful if I call at all
And when its my time to call your bluff
Ill call you beautiful or leave it alone
You call me a dog
Well thats fair enough
It doesnt bother me as long as you know
Bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash and
Black cat, black cat's gone
Gone for good, gone for long
Don't believe that he left me alone
And I hope he don't come home
Looking back, the black (past)
Trust him once, lost my map
Trust again to save my bones
And I never made it back
Black cat, black cat's gone
Gone for good, gone for long
Don't believe I made it home
And I hope he don't come home
Never had anything
Never lose and I never win
Lost my only love, never get her back
There's a black cat on my back
Black cat, black cat's gone
Gone for good, gone for long
Don't believe that he left me alone
And I hope he don't come home
Beg for mercy, laying low
Down where the poor dogs go
Lick my wounds, when (I go home)
Death is spiriling down
Death is low
Black cat, black cat's gone
Gone for good, gone for long
Can't believe that he left me alone
And I hope he don't come home
Every day, every hour
Another baby's born
Going to hang my head, (dry and blind)
'Til the black cat drags it home
Black cat, black cat's gone
Gone for good, gone for long
Can't believe that he left me alone
And I hope he don't come home
Beg for mercy, I'm laying low
Down where the poor dogs go
Lick my wounds, when I grow old
The sun is down and gone
The sun is down
The sun is down and gone
The sun is down
The sun is down and gone
The sun is down
The sun is down and gone
Black cat
The sun is down and gone
Hope he don't come home
I hope he don't come home
She stands on her suitcase
And looks out her window at me.
The smile leaves her face,
The mirror don't like what it sees.
So she hides all her secrets.
She's thinking I'll never know
That she burns like an angel
Into her fire she goes.
She don't miss nothing
Even though she pretends she don't see
Everything she's "watching" (?)
She puts her hand next to me
She says give me one reason
Why I should be here again.
But then she blows out the candle
And shows me the reason again.
Cause she loves like an angel
She burns like an angel on fire
On fire
After the movie,
She walks in the park with a friend.
She tells it to her straight.
He don't mean nothing to me.
She says I can't believe him
If I gave him enough rope he'd hang me.
But when she turns to him
There's no place she'd rather be.
Cause she burns like an angel.
She burns like an angel on fire.
And she's stuck
When she comes on so hot.
And you have never felt
A heavenly slow burn.
I'm so hot,
When I leave her cold,
Frying in her room
Like angels always do.
And did you really think I loved you
Just cause I said so?
Butterflies "shiver" (?)
She learns all the things that I've known.
She's thinking her diary
Convincing her words as she goes.
She says heaven forgive me
Am I going to pay for my sins?
Cause she burns like an angel
I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
(Chorus)
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget
I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
(Chorus)
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need
Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So discreetly
We won't look back
(Chorus)
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need
I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
Whatsoever I've feared has
Come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off
Became my life
Just when everyday
Seemed to greet
Me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now I'm doing time
Cause I fell on
Black days
Whomsoever I've cured
I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled
I've put you down
I'm a search light soul
They say but I can't
See it in the night
I'm only faking
When I get it right
Cause I fell on
Black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate
So what you wanted to
See good has made you blind
And what you wanted to
Be yours has made it
Mine
So don't you lock up
Something that you
Wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No not tying
I sure don't
Mind a change
But I fell on black
Days
How would I know
That this could be
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
Scream (2009 - Hidden Track, incorrectly titled by fans: "Two Drink Minimum") / Songbook (2011 - track 1 - proper title)
As hope and promise fade
And the sun forgets to rise
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
But it's better I stay dry
Never more than two drinks away from crying
Stare into the glass
And wait for the time to pass
I thank you for the offer
But you know I must decline
Never more than two drinks away from crying
There used to be a time when I could hold my head up high
My life stretched out before me
And rivers flowed with wine
I had my love beside me and everything was fine
Now the ride is over, it's hard to say goodbye
As hope and promise fade
And midnight turns to day
I'd love to drown my sorrow
But I cannot tell a lie
Little girl, I love when she talks to me
Got to smile when she walks that walk with me
I want the girl but I want a lot
Might cross my mind, but that's where it stops
Oh, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of, part of, part of me
I love the girl, I'm loving the dress she wears
She's got a hold, got a hold of my neck, oh yeah
I wanna cry, the way that she moves
I want the girl but not what she's going through
Oh, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of, part of, part of me
She was so friendly, I had one too many
But now that they tell she was rubbing up against me
But I swear, never meant a thing, she was just a fling
There's no other woman who does it like you
That bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
No, that bitch ain't a part of me
I said no, that bitch ain't a part of me
I came by this honestly hidden with the naked eye
Hoping all along i'll never miss but then i might
Holding on to the helium dawn flight is waiting for you
Waiting for you
Burning candles in our hands
Holding vigil from your glider
Pulling planets from the sand
Heart of honey you're my vise
I thought of this that water swallows and elation sighs
That pillows dream and autumn kills herself to feel revived
Round and round falling circles
The soft ground is waiting for you -- waiting for you
Burning candles in our hands
Holding vigil in your glider
Pulling planets from the sand
Heart of honey you're my vise
Burning candles in our hands
Holding vigil from your glider
Pulling planets from the sand
That's right
We all get left behind
That's just a fact
Maybe that's why people have guns
Won't help though
Just a fact
(Verse)
Jesse was a good girl
Went to a good school
Her daddy's little pride and joy
Up until she reached twelve
She never rebelled
And then she went and met a boy
Now he was never good for her
About six years older
Parents thought it was a phase
(Can't make out this line)
By the time that they tried
It was just too late
(Chorus)
Better off giving up
Did not change enough
Nothing but trouble
Flowing in the blood
Just won't stay away
Addicted to the pain
Would do anything to touch the flame
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
(Verse 2)
Now by the age of sixteen
Couldn't tell her a thing
Cause Jesse seemed to know it all
She was helpin her boyfriend
Cook up some methodrone
And got in in trouble with the law
Now, now everybody knew
That she wasn't that bad
But it was either her or him
They set her up and she lied
The judge gave her three to five
And Jesse ended up inside
(Chorus)
Better off giving up
Did not change enough
Nothing but trouble
Flowing in the blood
Just won't stay away
Addicted to the pain
Would do anything to touch the flame
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
(Bridge?)
Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way
And there ain't nothing you can do to change it
Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way
And there ain't nothing you can do to change it
(Chorus)
Better off giving up
Did not change enough
Nothing but trouble
Flowing in the blood
Just won't stay away
Addicted to the pain
Would do anything to touch the flame
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
She was a lost cause [Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way]
She was just too far gone (gone)
Now there's no turning back our [And there ain't nothing you can do to change it]
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal
How does it feel? How does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Well, you've gone to the finest school alright, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody's has ever taught you how to live out on the street
And baby you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp but now you, you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare in the vacuum of his eyes
And you ask him, "Do you wanna, do you wanna make me a deal?"
How does it feel? How does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Well, you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns
When they came down to do tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that he really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal
How does it feel? I said, "How does it feel?"
Drinking Coca-Cola all night
Ooh baby, wanna get in a fight
Breaking glass bottles is oh so fun
Let's go and kill someone
Living in this city, I get so bored
Wanna kill myself on a telephone cord
I guess we could go drive around
What's the point in this town?
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Sick of all the same lame faces
Oh, I'm stuck in a black hole
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Tired and there's nowhere to go
Oh, I'm stuck in this black hole
Staying out 'til six in the morning
Trying to find something that's not boring
We could go party down the street
And show those kids to the beat
Eating pizza is really great
So is destroying everything you hate
I just wanna lose all control
[Incomprehensible] fucking hell hole
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Sick of all the same lame faces
Oh, I'm stuck in a black hole
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Tired and there's nowhere to go
Oh, I'm stuck in this black hole
Drinking Coca-Cola all night
Ooh baby, wanna get in a fight
Breaking glass bottles is oh so fun
Let's go and kill someone
Living in this city I get so bored
Wanna kill myself on a telephone cord
I guess we could go drive around
You can look a hurricane right, in the eye
Twelve hundred people that are, left to die
Follow the leaders, were it an eye
For an eye we'd all blind
Deaf of murdered, of this I'm sure
In this unsettled time
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite, what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Down on the road the world is, floating by
The poor and undefended, left behind
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world was blind
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite, what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite, what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Consider this a sign:
This is a train in the night
And now it's time for you to go
You know you had a healthy life boy.
You walk this world like you're a ghost.
Your hands are coming though the needles --
Sick of your tragic and the evils
I am the keeper of the songs of everyone.
Look into the sun and see
Your soul is dying
Used to feel the faith
But now you're tired of trying
Should have left alone
What you have stolen from everyone
How are you feeling?
Seem a little sick to me now
This is a coming of the times
You are a witness to the movement
If all you¹re seeing is lies
You had your chance, but now you've blown it
You want this world so you can own it
I am the keeper of the songs of everyone
Look into the sun and see
Your soul is dying
Used to feel the faith
But now you're tired of trying
Should have left alone
What you have stolen from everyone
How are you feeling?
Seem a little sick to me now
From the light on high
A chance to change your fate
Forgiveness falling down
On those who chose to wait
Remember the time
Find yourself home again
Deep within your life
Find yourself a home again
It's a choice
You have chosen your own
In the old days
When the world was young and bright
If you raise the mask
Who will lead us on tonight
I know what you're looking for
You've looked in these eyes before
And all you saw was blue green water
Searching for a mirror
That would show the world not who you are
But who you wanna be
And you thought you'd found that one in me
But it's been a long time since I heard that name
He doesn't live here anymore
Don't know where he's residing
you can wait here if you want
But I don't think he's coming back
He doesn't live here anymore
Sure you've found the right place
The same address you knew before
But that won't change what lies behind the door
And what lies underneath had to change from the inside out
He doesn't live here anymore
Don't know where he's residing
I think it's better if you go
Cause I don't want him coming back
Yes I know the name sounds a little bit familiar
Like a melody to a dream
Yes I know he wore the same face, the same clothes
But that was so long ago
I know who you want to find
Somewhere is the memory of somebody I left behind
Well lets take it all in stride
Yeah it's that time to say goodbye
I tried and tried to walk away
To be the bigger man and leave
You made it hard for me
For me
It's been a long and lonely road
I didn't know which way to go
You made my blood run cold
And filled me up with sorrow
There's nowhere for me to go
I'm a long way away from home
I won't go without a fight
You'll never take me alive
You'll never take me alive
No no, you won't ever take me alive
No no, you won't ever take me alive
No no, you won't ever take me alive
No no, you won't
I tried and tried to shed your skin
But you control me from within
Your love has been a sin
I won't forgive tomorrow
There's nowhere for me to go
I'm a long way away from home
I won't go without a fight
You'll never take me alive
You'll never take me alive
No no, you won't ever take me alive
No no, you won't take me alive
No no, you won't take me alive
Oh no, you won't
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Build the fire inside the circle
No retreat today
Build the fire inside the circle
No retreat today
Build the fire inside the circle
No retreat today
Build the fire inside the circle
No retreat today
You'll never take me alive
No no, you won't ever take me alive
No no, you won't take me alive
No no, you won't take me alive
Oh no, you won't
Build the fire inside (ah)
Baby
I used to watch your flowers grow
Now it's raining
Before you landed, I had a will but didn't know what it could do
You were abandoned, and still you're handing out what you don't wanna lose
You make me drop things, like all the plans I had for a life without you
Someone to die for
someone to fall into when the world goes dark
Someone to die for
someone to tear a hole in this endless night
Someone like you
I'm drunk when sober, the room is spinning - you are what I hold onto
You're taking over, I find that giving in is the best I can do
Someone to die for
someone to fall into when the world goes dark
Someone to die for
someone to tear a hole in this endless night
Someone like you
Someone to die for
Someone to die for
Someone to die
Someone, someone, someone
Someone to die for
someone to fall into when the world goes dark
Someone to die for
someone to tear a hole in this endless night
Pearls of swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for the leaving I feel
(chorus)
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel
(chorus)
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightening
I am not your autumn moon
You and I went gently, you and I went far and wide
You and I went deeply, you and I went for a ride
But somewhere in the ashes of this burning lovers' game
Somehow you decided you would find another flame
And as you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut
I'll be cleaning my gun
I'll be cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life
I'll be done
You never lied to me, never said you'd be around for long
But somehow I believed that you would be my only one
Cause you know where I'm going, and you know where I'm coming from
But now this train is slowly coming to its final destination
And as you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut
I'll be cleaning my gun, yeah
I'll be cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life
I'll be done
Mother always told me love would save me from myself
Daddy always said that love would take me straight to hell
Sometimes they were right and sometimes they were oh so wrong
Cause I'm cleaning my gun, yeah
I'm cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life
I'll be done
When heaven or hell takes this life
She motioned to me
That she wanted to leave
And go somewhere warm
Where wed be alone
I do not know, whats going on
But Im guessing its an all night thing
If its an all night thing
Nobody is gonna make it end
And if it doesnt begin
Dont worry that Ill that offense
And if its an all night thing
And we fall like a tear falling
To the ground
Ill never come around
And youll never hear a word from me
If its an all night thing
I walked along, feeling at ease
And falling like rain
Into her scheme
She wont let on what that will be
But Im guessing
Its an all night thing
If its an all night thing
Nobody is gonna make it end
And if it doesnt begin
Dont worry that Ill take offense
And if its an all night thing
And we fall like a tear falling
To the ground
Ill never come around
And youll never hear a word from me
