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
Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman
Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Virgin eyes and dirty looks
On what I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shaking
Now I know why you've been shaking
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what's in it for me
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Buying lies and stealing jokes
And laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what is in it for me

Shadow face
Blowing smoke and talking wind
Lost my grip
Fell too far to start again
A sudden snake
Found my shape and tells the world
Remember this
Remember everything is just black
Or burning sun
And I hope its a sweet ride
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me Im gone
Warm and sweet
Swinging from a windows ledge
Tight and deep
One last sin before Im dead
A sucking holy wind
Will take me from this bed tonight
And bloody wits
Another hits me and I have to say goodbye
And I hope its a sweet ride
Here for me tonight
Cause I feel Im going
Feel Im slowing down
Lyrics by Hiro Yamamoto
Music by Kim Thayil & Hiro Yamamoto
These tears to remember
These tears to forget
I tried and I cried
These tears to forget
I suckle life
Its love and its beauty
I scream from life
These tears to remember
These tears to forget
I tried to cry away
These tears
Music by Hiro Yamamoto
Lyrics by K. McDonald
Woke up depressed
I left for work
You have a good day
It's not your fault
I know it hurts
Remember, I love you, love you
Remember, I love you, love you
I love
Woke up depressed
I left for work
You have a good day
It's not my fault
I know it hurts
Lyrics by chris cornell
Music by kim thayil
All of seventeen
Eyes a purple green
Treated like a queen, she was
On borrowed self esteem
She would do a dance
A painful masquerade
Spinning you into her web
Along her vain parade
In her uniform
Studded brass and steel
Kissing lipstick, napkin stains
And smearing sincerity
Along her vain parade
Along her veins
Time crept up on her
She's early gray
Her reflection looks concerned
I think I know the answer
I stumbled on and all the world fell down
And all the sky went silent
Cracked like glass and slowly tumbled to the ground
They say, if you look hard
You?ll find your way back home
Born without a friend
And bound to die alone, hey, ohh
I?m thinking of your highness
And crying long upon the loss I've found
And on the plus and minus
Zero chance of ever turning this around, hey
Why doesn?t anyone believe in loneliness?
Stand up and everyone will see your holiness, ah, yes
They say if you look hard
You?ll find your way back home
Born without a friend
I'm sittin' in a magic hat
With smoke and mirrors
And tire rubber fires
Watch me disappear
What made it slow you down
Sucking on a ball and chain
Another motherfucker goes down the drain
Hard headed fuck you all
Just add it up to the hot rod death toll
Sick in the head sick in the mouth
And I can't hear a word you say
Not a bit, and I don't give a shit
I got the glass, I got the steel
I got the love to hate
All I need is your head on a stake
Hard headed fuck you all
(silence)
Listen, hear, he is inside
One who lives while others lie
I close my eyes and walk a thousand years
A thousand years that aren't mine
It seems he's near me as I walk
One who loved what love denied
He lives these years that I walk blind
All these years cannot be mine
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
A thousand doors a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
He walks in the cold sun and wind
All these years will not begin
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Standing with my enemies
Hung on my horns
With haste and reverie
Killing with charm
Only happy when you hurt
Only deadly in a swarm
Only healthy in the dirt
Only empty in your arms
I play, I?m sick and tame
Drawing the hordes
I wait and show the lame
The meaning of harm
The skull beneath my feet
Like feathers in sand
I graze among the graves
A feeling of peace
Only bending when you break
Only feeding when you?re cold
Only healing when you ache
And only feeling when you don?t
Only bending when you break
Only feeding when you?re cold
Only healing when you ache
I want to be
A cowboy star upon the screen
Oh hey and I want to drive
My cowboy car across the scene
Oh hey and I want to write
The magazines housewives read
And I want to be
In control of everything
I want to be King
I want to make the toys
You buy for Christmas Eve
Yeah and I want to be
The father of the ethnic child
Who stars on T.V.
Oh yeah and I, I want to write
The magazines that housewives read
Oh hey and I want all the leaders
Of the Third World
To answer to me
I want to be King
I want to be King
So maybe now the Pope
Will bow and kiss my ring
Come on in and take me on an override
Stuck inside and up all night at Dave's
Trouble's far away, Mother's in the cage
Nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine
I wanna make it right
I wanna make it right
Close the door and pull the shades and climb the walls
Feel medicine heal the lines of age
I'm here and now I'm gone, I'm there and far beyond
Nothin's gonna pinch this nerve of mine
And nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine
I wanna make it right
I wanna make it right
I'm on the wire, over and higher
Over the pretense, over the spire
On and connected
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Breathe and take in and gently blow it on
Drink it down and swallow hard and gaze
Hold the potion up, stare your shadow down
Remember to forget and then rename your shame
I wanna make it right
I wanna make it right
I wanna make it right
I wanna make it right
I'm on the wire, over and higher
Over the pretense, over the spire
On and connected
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating now
I'm overfloating
I was slipping through the cracks of a stolen jewel
I was tightrope walking in two ton shoes
Now somebody is talking about a third world war
And the police said this was normal control
And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot
I was crying from my eye teeth and bleeding from my soul
And I sharpened my wits on a dead man's skull
I built an elevator from his bones
Had to climb to the top floor just to stamp out the coals
And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot
I'm tied within
I'm luck's last match struck
My mood was in full swing
My mood was in full swing
I wanted to be free
Free to watch the hail
I did not want to hear
The perfect thing to say
Dying to squeeze out
The ugly truth for everyone to hear
I did not wanna fight
I did not wanna kill
I wanted to be real
I wanted to believe
Take, if you want a slice
If you want a piece
If it feels alright
Break, if you like the sound
If it gets you up
If it brings you down
Share, if it makes you sleep
If it sets you free
If it helps you breathe
Don't come over here
And piss on my gate
Save it just keep it
Off my wave
Cry, if you want to cry
If it helps you see
If it clears your eyes
Hate, if you want to hate
If it keeps you safe
If it makes you brave
Pray, if you want to pray
If you like to kneel
If you like to lay
Don't come over here
And piss on my gate
Save it just keep it
Off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
My wave
Cry, if you want to cry
If it helps you see
If it clears your eyes
Hate, if you want to hate
If it keeps you safe
If it makes you brave
Take, if you want a slice
If you want a piece
If it feels alright
Don't come over here
And piss on my gate
Save it just keep it
Off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
So you think I got something on you
I bet I know what you're gonna say
[unknown line]
So glad to see you're at it again
So glad I ain't your only friend
When are you going to understand
That it's okay, maybe now
[unknown line]
Heard it from another room
Eyes were waking up just to fall asleep
Love's like suicide
Dazed out in a garden bed
With a broken neck lays my broken gift
Just like suicide
And my last ditch
Was my last brick
Lent to finish her
Finish her
Bit down on the bullet now
I had a taste so sour
I had to think of something sweet
Love's like suicide
Safe outside my gilded cage
With an ounce of pain
I wield a ton of rage
Just like suicide
With eyes of blood
And bitter blue
How I feel for you
I feel for you
She lived like a murder
How she'd fly so sweetly
She lived like a murder
But she dies
Kickstand, you got loose and I threw up
Kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup
My mother says that it's alright
My mother says that's the only life
So do it right
Do it right
Come stand me up
Come stand me up
Kickstand, I got saddle made of leather
Kickstand, I got the words to come together
I got the urge to ride your trike
You don't get nothing for free
Kev & me were two of three
Three brothers to the end
The one went full on Kevin's mom
Now things have changed
Full on Kev's mom
Full on Kev's mom
Full on Kev's mom
Full on
You don't get nothing for free
And this one took the long way
This one took the hard road
I ain't saying who
But it wasn't me
We were three
Kevin's mom made four
I’m entering without a sound
I’m entering on wings I’ve flown
A million miles of covered ground
I’m entering
I’m entering without a sound
I’m entering on wings I’ve flown
A million miles of covered ground
I’m entering
No one can save, pure of the brave
No one can save them at all
Grow and decay, grow and decay
It's only forever, it's only forever
Loosely or tightly, everything fits
Even the wrist on your arm
Grow and decay, grow and decay
It's only forever, it's only forever
All your fears are lies
All your fears are lies
All your fears are lies
All your fears are lies
_______________________? [unknown line]
Clipless, falling, limping, crawling, biting, fighting
Back from dying
Endless ending
And comprehending
Nothing
Of the scent she's sending
Loosely buying the tv lie
And the maggot man will never cry
Corralled like a cat
With my head hit the sack
Kill them all
Steal their gold
Feed my boy's killer
Feed the young, prepare it save you
Feed the boy, hates to kill
Feed the young
Feed the young.
In the night
In the city
Alone in my room
Ooh wall to wall
[Chorus]
Touch me, can you feel it
Touch me, it feels good
Touch me, yah I can feel it
(I got the feelin')
Touch me
Couldn't get to sleep in my room last night
Somethin' isn't quite the same
Just as I was reaching for the nearest light
I heard somebody calling my name
(Chorus)
Oh yeah
All right now
Shivers down my backbone 'cause my man is back
And my pulse began to race
Oh when she layed beside me everything went black
'Cause I've seen the strangest things
I caught the moon today
Pick it up and throw it away, all right
I got the perfect steal
A cleaner love with a dirty feel all right
Fallout and take the bait, eat the fruit
And kiss the snake goodnight
Common ruse, dirty face
Pretty noose is pretty hate
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
Let your motor race
Pick it up and get this mother gone
Out from and far away, the wooden stake
This thing has got me on
Diamond rope silver chain
Pretty noose is a pretty pain
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
Common ruse, dirty face
Pretty noose is pretty hate
I don't care what you got
I don't care what you need, I don't want anything
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
I had a dog he was a mix he loved me like a God
But I was just a kid the kind mother likes
Now I'm big like the sky when I'm downsized inside
I'll lay this all to rest
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
I'm getting all depressed
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
I got my father's sense and my big brother's pants
And I look like a man and I feel like an ant
Just a speck on the ground
Growing like a weed, a fleck of a seed
I'll put my hand in flames
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
I feel like I'm born again
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
I'll put this all to rest
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
I'm getting all depressed
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
And I'll keep hanging from your hair
And I'll keep playing in the sand
You) Gonna shake your head
Gonna shake and spin
Gonna pick it up abed with something new
First I heard it in my car
Then I saw it on the set
It's nothin' I can't do
It's nothin' I can't lick
Oh, yeah
[Chorus 1]
(Now) You can hear it in the air
You can feel it in your bones
You can sing it in your head
You can wear it on your clothes
Oh, yeah
[Chorus 2]
You can steal it if you dare
Just might put you where you're goin'
(where you're goin')
I'm just a regular man
Now I'm a regular mess
Doesn't matter how you dress
Doesn't matter how you fit
Oh, yeah
(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)
I'm gonna show you someday
(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)
You can hear it in the air
You can feel it in your bones
You can have it for your own
You better know what you want
You know how little I got
I can't give you anything
You think that I'm real cute
But who's gonna bring home the loot?
Make up your mind about
Hope you don't doubt that
Homicidal suicidal
One time lover
All night raver
One time killer
Two ton murder
Homicidal suicidal
Big time looser
Big time boozer
Live and learn
Live and burn
Hard time sinner
You're a winner
Take this thought
Yeah
Mmmmmmm...
You had to kill the copper
You killed the copper
Too bad you killed the copper
Homicidal suicidal
Live and learn
Live and burn

Get on the snake
With a swarm of motor flys
Get on the snake
Under the cola colored sky
Don't worry, everything's clean
Road worthy, hungry and mean
Get on the snake
Where the metal river bleeds
Get on the snake
Where you never will believe
Hey baby, what's your disease
My hearts bleeding
I'm dying to leave
Get on the snake
Where the water turns to steam
Get on the snake
With a suicide machine
Don't worry, everything's clean
Road worthy, hungry and mean
Hungry and mean...
Jesus I can't feel my penis
Exit Stonehenge
Exit Stonehenge
Jesus I can't touch my penis
Jesus I can't see my feet
Jesus I don't like my penis
Exit Stonehenge
My momma socks it to me
Trying to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her
'Cause my head in like a sieve
My daddy kicked me out
'Cause I wear my sister's clothes
He caught me in the bathroom
With a pair of panty hose
Check it!
My basketball coach
He done kicked me off the team
Wearing high heel sneakers
And dressing like a queen.
The world's coming to an end
And I don't fucking care
I just need my limo and orange hair
Check it!
Well people laugh at me
And I just think it's funny
'Cause I'm a big rock star so - FUCK YOU!
Oh, Christi
Tell you what I want to hear
Yeah, Christi
Tell me what I want to hear
You can't see without me
You'll live and leave without me
You can't run without me
You'll only leave without me
Yeah, Christi
Tell me what I want to hear
And Christi
Show me what I want to see
Christi
Show me what I want to see
You'll only cry without me
You'll never try without me
You can't walk without me
You'll never fly without me
You can't eat without me
You'll only breathe without me
Yeah, and Christi
Tell me what I want to hear
Christi
Tell me what I want to hear
You'll never cry without me
You'll never fly without me
You'll never walk without me
You'll never choke without me
You can't see without me
You can't eat without me
You'll only cry without me
Can you see me?
I'm singing this song to you
Can you see me baby?
I'm singing this song to you, yeah
If you can see that you can
See in the future for a thousand years
Well can you see me?
I'm flossing my teeth for you, yeah

I'm washing my seats for you
Yeah if you can see that you can
See in the future for a thousand years
Mmmmm...

I'm on my knees for you, yeah
If you can see that well you
Better come home like your sposed to
Yeah you better come home
Yeah you better come home
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing i can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking cuz he's so hard to see
Lying like needles on forest earth
Euphoric rush trees bend to pray for us
I'm sputtering like cold machines
Late for the birth ritual, ritual, ritual, ritual
You can drive my tail to watch the circus
A birth ritual, a birth of idiots
Now I woke up blessed and good strives for heartache
Marked for the death ritual, ritual, ritual
As you start the song and face this garden
I light a cigarette before the execution
Now you see your crime for every miracle
Add another drug at every birth ritual
I took the drug to make me stay
And now everything dies in shyness
The snake retreats admits defeat
And waits for the birth ritual, ritual, ritual
As you start the song and face this garden
I light a cigarette before the execution
Now you see your crime for every miracle
Add another drug at every birth ritual
Shining light child's highs
Mark his sides bright until the newness wears off
As you start the song and face this garden
I light a cigarette before the execution
Now you see your crime for every miracle
I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads
The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live
Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed
The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
And I learned that I was a liar
Hey you slaves, go hang your owners
Draw your names among their ashes
Lay your children on their thrones
Gather 'round and fall right down
Here at sundown
Nothing is when everything is all right
Switch opens
Opening around and let's the garden rise
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on
Hey you patients, where's your surgeon?
Left with your insides open
Left your heart out on the table
Gather 'round and fall right down
Feel the air now
Stumbling and wander in the moonshine
Switch opens
Opening around and let's the garden rise
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on
Switch is on
If this isn't what you see
It doesn't make you blind
If this doesn't make you feel
It doesn't mean you've died
Where the river's high
Where the river's high
If you don't want to be seen
You don't have to hide
If you don't want to believe
You don't have to try
To feel alive
Alive in the superunknown
First it steals your mind
And then it steals your soul
If this doesn't make you free
It doesn't mean you're tied
If this doesn't take you down
It doesn't mean you're high
If this doesn't make you smile
You don't have to cry
If this isn't making sense
It doesn't make it lies
Alive in the superunknown
First it steals your mind
And then it steals your soul
Get yourself afraid
Get yourself alone
Get yourself contained
Get yourself control
Alive in the superunknown
First it steals your mind
I walk these streets alone, shadows hide my face
My sins are etched in stone, never to erase
My fears unshakeable, if I could believe
I'd trade these wings of gold, for what I really need
I fought the fires of love, burned them to my soul
Scarred from the flames of hope, my mask is made of stone
I'm not invincible, but I want to believe
That you're convinceable, I pray that you will be
Take the word and pass it on, I'm tired of preaching
Take the angel from the thorns, untie the wings of gold
Until I'm in the right of way
All my words are spoken, all my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer
I dreamed of different times, and tried to find my way
Ooooh all the darkest lies, cloud my world today
I'm not unbreakable, although I might pretend
It's not unthinkable that I could feel again
Take the word and pass it on, I'm tired of preaching.
Take the angel from the thorns, Untie these golden wings
Until I'm in the right of way
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
I wish to wish I dream to dream
I try to try and I live to live
And I die to die and I cry to cry
But I know why
Somewhere in my dreams
Things that should
Still the willow weeps
On roses for the dead
In laughs of love
From the likes of her
To the time of me
Like to moon to earth
Or the sky to sea
Only we're no longer
Allowed to be, to be
Somewhere in the dreams
Of those who should
Live in all the keeps
Echo all the worlds
In laughs of love
For times that pass my life
I'll search for the sky
That she wanders by
Somewhere in the dreams
That the skies hold
Still the willow weeps
On roses for her bed
Girlie dress and making her best
She makes up her hair for the 90s
Dirty shoes and hiding her blues
She's dying to lose what she's finding
So easy to leave it or take it in stride
So easy to read when she's faking her smile
She likes surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises
Lips and thighs abused by our eyes
Acting surprised that she likes it
Chocolate cream, an amphetamine
Torn at the seams, she's crying
So easy to leave it or take it in stride
So easy to read when she's faking her smile
She likes surprises, she likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises
She gets a little I guess
She gets it more or less
She likes surprises
Anything in colorful disguises
So easy to leave it or take it in stride
So easy to read when she's faking her smile
She like surprises, she likes surprises
Painted blue across my eyes
And tie the linen on
And I'm on my way
Looking for the paradigm
So I can pass it off
Is it on my side
Is it to the sky
Looking to the sky and down
Searching for a ground
With my good eye closed
If I took you for a ride
Would you take it wrong
Or would you make it right
Looking for a pedestal
That I can put you on
And be on my way
Is it to the sky
Looking to the sky and down
Searching for a ground
With my good eye closed
Stop you're trying to bruise my mind
I can do it on my own
Stop you're trying to kill my time
It's been my death since I was born
I don't remember half the time
If I'm hiding or I'm lost
It's quiet time
In the sound
Everyone is sleepy
They wanna lay down
His sleepy head
With your eyes so tired
Relax, goodnight
It's so much clearer in the land of dreams
Goodnight
Float away, my little friends
Float away, my tiny friends
Float away, my little friends
Float away, my tiny friends
Say goodnight, Say goodnight, Say goodnight, Say goodnight
Say goodnight, Say goodnight, Say goodnight, Say goodnight
It's late,
Getting tired
And I know that soon
I'll be fast asleep
And I'll dream
Of birthday cake and lights
Blow them out
It's time to dream
Of unicorns and rainbows
Say goodnight, my little friends
Goodnight, my tiny friends
Say goodnight, my little friends
Say goodnight, my teeny, little, tiny, little friends
You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin to boil
But I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
Too cold to start a fire
I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
I'll take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
Hits like a Phillips head into my brain
It's gonna be too dark to sleep again
Cutting my teeth on bars and rusty chains
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
When the forest burns along the road
Like God's eyes in my headlights
When the dogs are looking for their bones
And it's raining icepicks on your steel shore
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I caught the moon today
Pick it up and throw it away, all right
I got the perfect steal
A cleaner love with a dirty feel all right
Fallout and take the bait, eat the fruit
And kiss the snake goodnight
Common ruse, dirty face
Pretty noose is pretty hate
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
Let your motor race
Pick it up and get this mother gone
Out from and far away, the wooden stake
This thing has got me on
Diamond rope silver chain
Pretty noose is a pretty pain
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
Common ruse, dirty face
Pretty noose is pretty hate
I don't care what you got
I don't care what you need, I don't want anything
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from

Hands all over the eastern border
You know what? I think we're falling
From composure
Hands all over western culture
Ruffling feathers and turning eagles into vultures
Got my arms around baby brother
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother, kill your mother
And I love her
Hands all over the coastal waters
The crew men thank her
Then lay down their oily blanket
Hands all over the inland forest
In a striking motion trees fall down
Like dying soldiers
Hands all over the peasants daughter
She's our bride
She'll never make it out alive
Hands all over words I utter
Change them into what you want to
Like balls of clay
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother
I can’t live when it lives
it won’t live if I die
machine has no heart to give
heart it takes could be mine
come on
come down
come out from where you hide
follows me down the river
shadows me through the sky
a sideways glance in the mirror
stalemate machine in a tie
come on
come down
come out from where you hide
get up
get off
get on with your life
forever means all is not seen
never means forever brings everything
I fashion will and desire
always I and I survive
mercurial mind the fire
ferrivorous direction and drive
come on
come down
come out from where you hide
get up
get off
get on with your life
presently, I see myself clearer
why time I visualize
I spy device in the mirror
checkmate watch machine die
Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemies
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
Hey what you yellin' about
Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction
Hey what you yellin' about
Sadists' co-addiction, perfect analogies
Hey what you yellin' about
Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
Shower in the dark day
Clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterway
Where the baptized drown
Naked in the cold sun
Breathing life like fire
Thought I was the only one
But that was just a lie
Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of July
Pale in the flare light
The scared light cracks & disappears
And leads the scorched ones here
And everywhere no one cares
The fire is spreading
And no one wants to speak about it
Down in the hole
Jesus tries to crack a smile
Beneath another shovel load
And I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of July
Now I'm in control
Now I'm in the fall out
Once asleep but now I stand
And I still remember
Your sweet everything
Light a Roman candle
And hold it in your hand
Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
I caught the moon today
Pick it up
And throw it away all right
I got the perfect steal
A cleaner love
With a dirty feel all right
Fall out and take the bait
Eat the fruit
And kiss the snake goodnight
Common ruse dirty face
Pretty nose is pretty hate
And I don't like
What you got me hanging from
Let your motor race
Pick it up
And get this mother gone
Out from and far away
The wooden stake
This thing has got me onDiamond rope silver chain
Pretty nose is pretty pain
And I don'like
What you got me hanging from
I don't care what you got
I don't care what you need
I don't want anything
And I don'like
What you got me hanging from

Someone says my words are out of balance
Nothing to say
Dying words I bury everyday
Nothing to say
You've got nothing to say, nothing to say
Bog bad words spell it with four letters
Nothing to say
Oh my God, your words are out of balance
Nothing to say
Nothing but one thing
You've got nothing, nothing to say

Little Joe, run for the border
Leave your home
Go where the reptiles roam
On the side of the border that is your home
Little Joe, eyes of your lover look back on you
As you run for cover
Though stick and fire and may break your bones
There's a light in the tunnel that leads you home
Little Joe, just like your father
Your eyes will water, your guts will splatter
Though sticks and fire, sticks and fire
Won't break your bones, it is a lie
Little Joe, run for the border
Leave your mother and father
Go to where the reptiles roam
They're waiting for you, Little Joe
The hand of God lays high above me
I'll be good if you really love me
Let me feel your mighty crunch
As you rub me out like water, fire, coal, etc
Let it be known today, if you've got two hands
You're supposed to pray
Fingers of fire, coal and lead
Fondly love me till I'm dead
The hand of God is thick and callous
Bruised and torn from stones and sticks
The hand of God has got a ring about the size of Texas
Made of steel and rust, my fingers smear
Let me try on your hand, and see if it fits
Don't worry I won't touch anything unholy with it
Fopped last night and the night before
I had to fopp outside and then I went indoors
Fopped so hard I made the people warm
They stood back and gave me all the floor
I did the fopp, the fopp
they wouldn't let me stop
Yeah I was foppin' and rockin'
Had the house hoppin'
Foppin', the way it makes you go, everybody was
Foppin', everywhere you go, do all your
Shoppin', wiggle to the floor, everybody was Foppin'
Fopp with me and I'll fopp with you
Foppin' is the brand new thing to do
Fopped so hard that I lost my shoe
I fopped so tough they had to make some room
Break your leg, don't you fopp your back
Do your thing, don't you give no slack
Shake your hips and then you turn around
Well first you fopp it up
And then you fopp it down
Fopp me right, don't you fopp me wrong
We'll be here foppin' all night long
I'm too short, baby, and you're too tall
But when we're foppin' that don't mean a thing at all
Foppin', the way it makes you go, everybody was
Foppin', everywhere you go, do all your
Shoppin', wiggle to the floor,, everybody was Foppin'
Stretch the bones over my skin
Stretch the skin over my head
I'm going to the holy land
Stretch the marks over my eyes
Burn the candles deep inside
Yeah you know where I'm coming from
Give up to greed, you don't have to feed me
Give up to fate, you don't have to need me
So let it go, let it go, let it go, won't you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
Slip down the darkness to the mouth
Damn the water burn the wine
I'm going home for the very last time
So throw it away, you don't have to take me
Make no mistakes I'm what you make me
So let it go, let it go, let it go, won't you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
I see you turn around and burning down
The feeling starts to sink
I feel the hurt surround me
Please dissolve me
She's resolved to be
Heal my wounds without a trace
Seal my tomb without my face
I'm going to the lonely place
Give up to greed, you don't have to feed me
Give up to fate, you don't have to need me
So let it go, let it go, let it go, won't you let it

Unreleased
Ocean fronts, ocean new
See it from my waiting room
Hear it in my hollow walls
Just like a shell, hear it call
From my waiting room
Ocean fronts, guard by fire
Liquid mist, hide the shore
Underneath cities float
Back and forth I hear the flow
From my waiting room
Ocean violence killing calm
Crashing over the under world
Ocean silence under breath
Words do flow to reach me
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
When you were here
I thought that I would never miss you
When you were gone
Written by ben shepherd
I woke up in a burning house
I was nailed down to the floor
I looked outside my window
And there is going to be a july snow
Show me
Show me
Show me the go
This guy once said
That the tires only flat on the bottom
But that guy wound up dead
When his girlfriends daddy shot him
Show me
Show me
Show me the go
The leaf that fell the tree
The straw that broke the camels back
My daddy spilled his cup in the river
And that was enough to break the dam
Show me
Show me
Show me the go
Holy water on the brain and I'm losing sleep
Holy bible on the night stand next to me
As I'm raped by another monkey circus freak
Trying to take my indignance away from me
Holy water is rusting me
Bloody murder is the best I've heard her scream
Holy devil in the flesh some might believe
And they take thine majesty so seriously
It's the big lies that are more likely to be believed
Holy water is rusting me
Damn the water if it's life you want to drink
Mind your mother if it makes you feel at ease
As you're raped by another monkey circus freak

Heretic, burn at the stake
Witch float like a log
Wine from the blade on the night of the full moon
Voices that call spirits in waiting
Sharing the drink of the bond
A broth of roots and charms
Spells under a twisted tree
Heretic, burn at the cross
Witch, float like a log
Flask over fire, from cobwebs of cellars
Turning metal into gold
A secret till the last word’s untold
Accused and convicted
For nothing I suffer your fear
Nailed to a burning cross
Heretic, heretic
Shadow face
Blowing smoke and talking wind
Lost my grip
Fell too far to start again
A sudden snake
Found my shape and tells the world
Remember this
Remember everything is just black
Or burning sun
And I hope it's a sweat ride
Slip tight for me
Sleep tight for me I'm gone
Warm and sweet
Swinging from a window ledge
Tight and deep
One last sin before I'm dead
A sucking holy wind
Will take me from this bed tonight
And blow the wits
Another hits me and I have to say goodbye
And I hope it's a sweet ride
Here for me tonight
Cause I feel I'm going
Feel I'm slowing down
Far beyond the road
Between your house and home
There is a churning storm
Of hailing burning bones
Tiny baby cries
Little, tiny pawn
In the profit gain
Tiny baby grows
Mother, who's your man
Is he doing what he can
To make a proper home, home
By overturning other stones, stones
Father, mighty man
Loves his little boys, boys
Shows them how to kill
To save his precious stones, stones
Far beyond the wheel
Spin your life around
By driving flesh and blood
Deep into the ground, ground
Far beyond the wheel
Steers life around
By driving flesh and blood
Written by chris cornell
Summer nights and long warm days
Are stolen as the old moon falls
My mirror shows another face
Another place to hide it all
Sleeping with a full moon blanket
Sand and feathers for my head
Dreams have never been my answer
Dreams have never been my bed
Now I wanna cry about the storm
But you can’t grow feathers in the rain
And this naked floor is cold as you
This naked floor remains
Chorus
And I’m lost, behind
The words I’ll never find
And I’m left behind
As seasons roll on by
Bridge
Would you crawl into my world
And take me worlds away
Should I be beside myself
I might even stay
(spoken: i wish I knew how to dance,
Just leave it kim)
I’m not stoned but I wanted to tell ya
When I’m in the mood, I could think of playing there
Going to seattle where the rock’s so heavy
With all them sex dogs in my chevy
At the extacy party, everybody look at me
Cool, give it dude, we’re plastic like you
Going to the show that rocks all night
And everyone I hate is at the party tonight

Hello
This is jonathan
Hey jon
I just want to know what the heck is going on
Well, you know, we have this problem
What the heck is going on?
Yeah, ok, do you think you would have too much trouble
If we got rid of our sideburns?
At your earliest convenience
Well, you said that before
But do you think bruce would mind?
This is bruce pavitt
Bruce, I mean, ok, can we have our drummer back?
Bye)
Sub pop rock city x6
(spoken
I just want to know what the heck is going on
Pavie, bummer baby)
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you're no scare-eyed honey
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs
This ain't no hanging matter
No, this ain't no capital crime
Ya I can see that you're just fifteen years old
But I don't want your I.D.
Ya I can see that you're so far from home
This ain't no hanging matter,
No it ain't no capital crime
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, you're a stray stray cat
Oh yeah, you're a stray stray cat
Oh yeah, you're a stray stray cat
I bet your momma never saw you fight like that
I bet your momma never saw you scratch my back
You like to get yourself those _____ from home
But I know you miss your mother
You look so scared out of my man made bed
This ain't no hanging matter
No, this ain't no capital crime
(Chorus)
I bet your momma never heard you spit like that
I bet your momma never saw you scratch my back
I see your girlfriend and she's wilder than you
Why don't you bring her upstairs
She's wild enough that she can join in too
This ain't no hanging matter
No, this ain't no capital crime
(Chorus)
I bet your momma never saw you fight like that
I bet your momma never saw you scratch my back
I bet your momma never saw you
I bet your momma never heard you spit like that
I bet your momma never told you
I bet your momma never told you
I bet your momma never told you you scratch like that
Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Virgin eyes and dirty looks
On what I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shaking
Now I know why you've been shaking
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what's in it for me
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Buying lies and stealing jokes
And laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
She looked at me with dignity
She said there's something you gotta see
Even though this country's headed for war
This nation is prouder than ever before
Yeah that was spirit in the air
We're more American than anywhere
And I just smile cause I could tell
This little girl was going to
Hell
Now I wouldn't mind
If you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright
Yeah now deep inside
Feel alright
Hey, all the warmth in her heart
Couldn't keep my blood from running cold
Cause I fell for her looks
Now I wanna go for her throne
I tried to tell her a thousand times
But little girl didn't understand at all
Now I wouldn't mind
If you swallow my pride
Make me feel alright
Yeah now deep inside
Feel alright
Alright
You can swallow my pride
Now I wouldn't mind
If you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright, deep inside
Feel alright
Pride... pride... pride
You can swallow my pride

Heat is rising
Feeling high and I’m on my way
Tell me if you wanna take a hit
Right beside you
I came to fight so get out of my way
‘Cause Daddy told me don’t you ever
Take no fucking shit
So get it right
I’m gonna get to you
Laughing As I spit your way
Faster that a fucking flash of light
Stomach’s burning alcohol
I must have burned
A bottle full
And you ain’t got a chance
in Hell tonight
So get it right
I’m gonna get you
A thousand miles of chicken wire
A foot of lead
Daddy didn’t raise no fucking fools
coming up on your right
coming up on your right
No one is going to fuck with
Me tonight
So get it right
I’m gonna get to you

So get it right
I’m gonna get to you
And you stare at me in your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out like you've been carrying a load
And you swear to me you don't want to be my slave
But you're staring at me like I need to be saved
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud like it's the coming of the Lord
And I swear to you that I would never feed you pain
But you're staring at me like I'm driving the nails
In your Jesus Christ pose
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out like it's the coming of the Lord
And would it pay you more to walk on water
Than to wear a crown of thorns
It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich
Than to bury you poor
I can count it on my fingers
I've got all my reasons not to feel
I'm numb as rigor mortis
Scared by monkey faces
Drowned in shark fins
But I don't feel like feeling
Feeling like you
Now I'm in the mirror
Now it's getting clear
I fear that I'm in you
Now I'm into plastics
Now I've made a mask
It looks like fish heads
But I don't feel like feeling
Feeling like you
Face pollution
Face pollution
Face pollution
I’d cry enough rain
To wash your garden away
But I’m dry as stone
So your trees wash away like veins
But I’ve been know to
Take a blow, and I know
How fair your garden grows
With, fresh deadly roses
Fresh deadly roses
You laid all your lilies on the grave
Of all the lonely
Soldiers you left battle torn
You cut their pride
On your concertina, that surrounds
Fresh deadly roses
Fresh deadly roses
Now I know just how it feels
To see my love congeal
Under your razor heel, and your
Fresh deadly roses
You gave me fresh deadly roses
You gave me the birds in your trees
Buzzing around disease
And leaves growing blood hungry leeches
And your fresh deadly roses
You gave me fresh deadly roses
One, two, three, four
More thorns in my side
Each little wound
Is getting harder to hide
Hard to swallow
I’d love to make you
Mine to break your
Fresh deadly roses
You gave me fresh deadly roses
YOU AND I WENT DEEPLY, YOU AND I WENT FAR AND WIDE
YOU AND I WENT GENTLY, 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 YOU EYES SOFTLY SHUT
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 WOULD BE MY ONLY ONE
CAUSE YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING, YOU KNOW WHERE I'M COMING FROM,
NOW THIS TRAIN IS SLOWLY COMING TO IT'S FINAL DESTINATION
AS YOU LAY SLEEPING WITH YOUR EYES SOFTLY SHUT
I KNOW IT AIN'T ME THAT YOU'RE DREAMING OF
MOTHER ALWAYS TOLD ME LOVE WOULD SAVE ME FROM MYSELF
DADDY ALWAYS SAID THAT LOVE WOULD TAKE ME STRAIGHT TO HELL
SOMETIMES THEY WERE RIGHTEOUS SOMETIMES THEY WERE
OH SO WRONG
Follow me into the desert
As thirsty as you are
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
And drown in alcohol
Cause down below the truth is lying
Beneath the riverbed
So quench yourself and drink the water
That flows below her head
Oh no there she goes
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine
I shot my love today would you cry for me
I lost my head again would you lie for me
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
I lost my head again would you cry for me
Close your eyes and bow your head
I need a little sympathy
Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone
Who isn't me
So kill your health and kill yourself
And kill everything you love
And if you live you can fall to pieces
And suffer with my ghost
Just a burden in my han
dJust another anchor on my heart
Just a tumor in my head
And I'm in the dark
Swings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
Drifts on down in a mist from above
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
You can hear her calling everywhere you turn
You know you're headed for the pleasure burn
The words get stuck on the tip of your tongue
She's the real thing but you knew it along
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
[Chorus]
Look at you, your mouth watering
Look at you your mind spinning
Why don't we just admit it's all over
She's just a girl you want
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She swings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
Drifts on down in a mist from above
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
(Chorus)
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She's just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
Run away, now it’s Halloween
Shave your head and burn you sheets,
evil could be
right next door
What do blind dogs believe?
I don’t want to know
Following blind
Run away, now it’s Halloween The safe bet is on your knees,
bow your head
to the Trinity,
that’s what blind dogs believe
But I’ve heard that before,
Following blind
Dead on my feet
while my nightmare walks,
I fell asleep
where the freeway talks,
suffer to swim
and dying to sink
These things in the air,
they will make you think
Written by Chris Cornell
I know you're half awake yeah I know hate
And I know how you do it
Hold it don't it out
Don't get it right or wrong no I don't get it
I know you're afraid half amazed
All insane I know it's all a cage
And all arrange and altogether gone
Cause you and me we're average
With simple minds and lungs and eyes and skin
You and me we're hopeless with nowhere hearts
So tear it out and open it
I'm giving blood tonight don't care how don't care why
I'm giving blood tonight and I feel just like
I could give it all
Show me and hand me down and hang me up alone
and cold and bury me
Show me and throw me out and hold me down
And air me out and wear me
I know you're half afraid half amazed all insane
I know it's all a cage and all a rage
And altogether gone
Come away and come with me and come around and come and see
And cover up and come along before race before the calm
And he walks out and fires the gun happy with the things he won
The head of God on the wall ahead of us the heads of us
Big Bottom (Spinal Tap cover)
(Originally performed by: Spinal Tap)
The bigger the cushion
The sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband
The deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I like to sink her with my pink torpedo
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about bum cakes
My girl's got 'em
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind
How can I leave this behind?
I saw her on Monday
'Twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean
I love her each weekday
Each velvety cheekday
You know what I mean
My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game is waiting there inside her tights
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about mudflaps
My gal's got 'em
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind
How can I leave this behind?
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I like to sink her with my pink torpedo
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about bum cakes
My girl's got 'em
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind

Black hole sun
Won't you come?
Black hole sun
Won't you come?
Won't you come?
Black hole sun
Won't you come?
Black hole sun
Won't you come?
Won't you come?
Eyes to sun, she lays in peace
Eyes bear complacence
Brown, the meadow grows tall to the sun
Seasons have come, they have gone
Buried in dirt, her torso lays
One limb dangles
Brown, the meadow grows tall to the sun
Seasons have come, they have gone
Please take me back to my healing home
Please take me back to my toy box
Ours not for their own
Please take me back to my healing home
Please take me back to my toy box
Please take me back to my little girl's hand
I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now
I just looked in the mirror
And things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota
So now you know
(Who gets mystified)
So now you know
(Who gets mystified)
Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'Til I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling, I?m feeling
Outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined
Someone let the dogs out
They'll show you where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shedding
I'm feeling that I'm sober
Even though I'm drinking
I can't get any lower
Still I feel I'm sinking
So now you know
(Who gets mystified)
So now you know
(Who gets mystified)
Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'Til I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling, I?m feeling
Outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined
Outshined
So now you know
(Who gets mystified)
Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'Til I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling, I?m feeling
Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'Til I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling, I?m feeling
When new damage comes
It's a faceless poison
A new world order
It's new damage done
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
When new damage comes
It's a new word for plague
A new world order
A new word for hate
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
Hello don't you know me
I'm the dirt beneath your feet
The most important fool you forgot to see
I've seen how you give it
Now I want to receive
Ii'm sure that you would do the same for me
I know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way
For all of your kisses turned to spit in my face
For all that reminds me which is my place
For all of the times when you made me disappear
This time I'm sure you will know that I'm here
I know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way
My place was beneath you but now I'm above
And now I send you a message of love
A simple reminder of what you won't see
A future so holy without me
I know I'm headed for the bottom
What if all you understand,
Could fit into the center of our hand,
Then you found it wasn't you,
Who held the sum of everything you knew,
Were in sync but not alone,
You hold on,
And their gone,
Like the sun we will live to rise,
Like the sun we will live and die,
And then ignite again,
Like the sun we will live to rise,
(Oh Yeah)
What if the one thing that I missed,
Was everything I need to pass the test,
And if I fail what happens then,
Can I still count on you as a friend,
Were in sync but not alone,
You hold on,
And their gone,
Like the sun we will live to rise,
Like the sun we will live and die,
And then ignite again,
Like the sun we will live to rise,
(Oh Yeah x4)
Like the sun we will live to rise,
Like the sun we will live and die,
And then ignite again,
Like the sun we will live to rise,
Like the sun we will live and die,
And then ignite again,
Like the sun we will live to rise,
Tears of the feeble, hands of the slaves
Skin of the mothers, mouths of the babes
Building the towers, belongs to the sky
When the whole thing comes crashing down
Don't ask me why
Under the shelf, the shelf of the sky
Two eyes, two suns, too heavenly blinds
Swallowing rivers, belongs to the sea
When the whole thing washes away
Don't run to me
I'll be going down for the rest of the slide
While the rest of you harvest the gold
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break and the fall
I'm the wreck of you
I'm the death of you all
I'm the wreck of you
I'm the break and the fall
Under the red break of the lights
Heroes in stretches inch to the site
Blowing the pieces, belong to the wind
When the whole thing blows away
I won't pretend
I'll be going down for the rest of the slide
While the rest of you harvest the souls
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break and the fall
I'm the wreck of you
I'm the death of you all
I'm the wreck of you
I'm the break and the fall
Behind the blood red break of the lights
Lies the wreck of you for the rest of your life
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break and the fall
I'm the wreck of you
I'm the death of you all
I'm the wreck of you
How can you buy or sell the sky
Or the warmth of the land it's strange to us
We don't own the freshness of the air
Or the sparkle of the water
How can you buy them from us
The white man doesn't understand our ways
For he's a stranger who comes in the night
And takes from the land just what he needs
Oh yeah
He treats his brothers like his enemies
When it's completed he moves on
He leaves his father's grave and his birthright
His birthright is forgotten
The air is precious to the red man
For all things share the same breath
The white man won't notice the air he breathes
Like a man dying for many days
All right now
The whites must treat the beasts of his land
As his brothers not his enemies
Tell me what is man without the beasts
I'll bet he will die of loneliness
One thing we know that the white man will
We know our god is the same god
You may think you wish to own him
Own him as you wish to own our land
But he is the body of man
And the earth is precious to him
Continue to contaminate your bed

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
We see you laugh
We see you dance
We take that away
Every day
We see you cry
We turn your head
Then we slap your face
We see you try
We see you fail
Some things never change
We hear you cry
We hear you wail
We steal that smile from your face
Bow down to live
Your life
Head down, hide that smile
Head high got to smile
When I hand my love in
I'll be done
A handed glove
Hides the door
Half a chance
Half a chance
We still
Have a chance
Mr. Full, Mr. Have
Kills Mr. Empty Hand
Half a chance
Half a chance
We still
Long time coming
It seemed to take me through
Long time coming
Many served the few
And long to taste the shame
That bows down before you
Long time coming
It seemed to get me by
Long time coming
It seemed to satisfy
You longed to taste the shame
That everybody tries
Shame shame throw yourself away
Give me little bits of more than I can take
If it sits upon your tongue or naked in your eyes
Give me little bits of more than I can try
Long time coming
It seemed to take me through
Long time coming
Many served the few
And long to taste the shame
That bows down before you
Shame shame throw yourself away
Give me little bits of more than I can take
If it sits upon your tongue or naked in your eyes
Fopped last night and the night before
I had to fopp outside and then I went indoors
Fopped so hard, I made the people warm
They stood back and gave me all the floor
I did the fopp, the fopp
They wouldn't let me stop
Yeah, I was foppin' and rockin'
Had the whole house hoppin'
Foppin'
The way it makes you go, everybody was
Foppin'
Everywhere you go do all your
Shoppin'
And wiggle to the floor, everybody was foppin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Fopp with me and I'll fopp with you
Foppin' is the brand new thing to do
Fopped so hard that I lost my shoe
I fopped so tough, they had to make some room, yeah
Break your leg, don't you fopp your back
Do your thing, don't you give no slack
Shake your hips and then you turn around
Well, first you fopp it up and then you fopp it down
Fopp me right, don't you fopp me wrong
We'll be here foppin' all night long, baby
I'm too short, baby, and you're too tall
But when we're foppin' that don't mean a thing at all, yeah
Foppin'
The way it makes you go, everybody was
Foppin'
So everywhere you go do all your
Shoppin'
And wiggle to the floor, everybody was foppin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Fopp and rock, fopp and rock
Fopp and rock, fopp and rock
Fopp and rock, fopp and rock
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
And now I'm doing time
Cause I fell on black days
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
When I get it right
Well I fell on black days
I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate
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
No, not tying
I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
Yeah I sure don't mind sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
But I fell on black days
I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate
How would I know
That this could be my fate
How would I know
That this could be my fate
How would I know
That this could be my fate
I think it's turning back around
And I think I like it
I think it's turning back around
Though I don't know why it is
I think it's turning back on me
I'm down on the upside
I think it's turning back on me
Now, I'm on the good ride
And nothing's gonna put me out
It's backing down and under
I'm down on the upside, now
It's turning back around
Turning back around
I think it's coming on the wind
Just like you said it
I think it's coming on the wind
And I'm gonna let it
I think it's turning back on me
Everything's easy
I think it's turning back on me
Everything's real to me
Nothing's gonna put me out
It's backing down and under
I'm down on the upside, now
It's turning back around
Turning back around
Turning back around
I think it's coming on the wind
Just like you said it
I think it's coming on the wind
And I'm gonna let it
Nothing's gonna put me out, yeah
It's backing down and under
I'm down on the upside, now
It's turning back around
Turning back around
Turning back around
I'm turning back around
Turning back around
Turning back around
Turning back around
Follow me into the desert
As thirsty as you are
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
And drown in alcohol
'Cause down below the truth is lying
Beneath the riverbed
So quench yourself and drink the water
That flows below her head
Oh no there she goes
Out in the sunshine
The sun is mine, sun is mine
I shot my love today
Would you cry for me
I lost my head again
Would you lie for me
Close your eyes and bow your head
I need a little sympathy
'Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone
Who isn't me
Kill your health and kill yourself
And kill everything you love
And if you live you can fall to pieces
And suffer with my ghost
I shot my love today
Would you cry for me
I lost my head again
Would you lie for me
I left her in the sand
Just a burden in my hand
I lost my head again
Would you cry for me
Just a burden in my hand
Just an anchor on my heart
It's just a tumor in my head
And I'm in the dark
So follow me into the desert
As desperate as you are
Where the moon is glued
To a picture of heaven
And all the little pigs have God
Oh no there she goes
Out in the sunshine
The sun is mine, the sun is mine
I shot my love today
Would you cry for me, yeah
I lost my head again
Would you lie for me
I left her in the sand
Just a burden in my hand
I lost my head again
Would you cry for me
I must obey the rules
I must be tame and cool
No staring at the clouds
I must stay on the ground
In clusters of the mice
The smoke is in our eyes
Like babies on display
Like Angels in a cage
I must be pure and true
I must contain my views
There must be something else
There must be something good far away
I'm far away from here
Far away, I'm far away from here
Far away, I'm far away from here
Far away, I'm far away from here
Lonely is the bird
Nothing seems to kill me, no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall, nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up, though not invincible, I know
I've given everything I need, I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in, if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could, to blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and blow up the outside
And blow up the outside, blow up the outside world
Someone tried to tell me something
Don't let the world bring you down
Nothing can do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help
I've given everything I need, I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in, if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could, to blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and blow up the outside
And blow up the outside, blow up the outside world
Wanna make it understood, wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it's wrong, blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could and blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside world
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
If I could hug my love, could I try
For your wings to cover me and let them fold
Half alive I hurt the most brilliant lie
Sleepless eyes, close the light
And rest your mind while you burn
Can't stutter when you're talking with your eyes
By cutting out your tongue you save face
Feeding on the blood lets running from a big day
Cry on black rain, cry on black rain
Cry on black rain
If I could hug my love could I try
for your wings to cover me unless I fall
Sleepless eyes, close the light
And rest your mind while you burn
You can't stutter when you're talking with your eyes
By cutting out your tongue you save face
Feeding on the blood lets running from a big day
Cry on black rain, Cry on black rain
Cry on black rain
You can't stutter when you're talking with your eyes
By cutting out your tongue you save face

![The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the silvertip bear, is a subspecies of brown bear (Ursus arctos) that generally lives in the uplands of western North America. This subspecies is thought to descend from Ussuri brown bears which crossed to Alaska from Eastern Russia 100,000 years ago, though they did not move south until 13,000 years ago.[1] Grizzlies are normally solitary active animals, but in coastal areas the grizzly congregates alongside streams, lakes, rivers, and ponds during the salmon spawn.
