Alice said to, "Come on in now it's time for bed
The hour's quite late I need a nap to clear my head"
And later down, the pillow softly calls to me
I've been sent down, bounced all around
Now I can't see, blind, happily
Alice said, "Have you forgotten what will be
Concealed in smiles that come too late, now I can't see"
The sun goes down, thoughts go astray
She might take my soul away
Don't close the shade, until the twilight fades
Alice said to, "Come on in now it's time for bed
The hour's quite late I need a nap to clear my head"
The sun goes down, thoughts go astray
She might take my soul away
Don't close the shade, until the twilight fades
Don't close the shade, until the twilight fades
Alice said
Alice said
Alice said
Tears are falling one by one
I stop awhile and come undone
Holding onto a world that changed
A backwards glance at what remains
I have seen you before
When your eyes had turned to black and left me waiting here
Water drips inside my head
It won't stop until I'm dead
All at once I've come undone
So I'll fall into the sun
I have seen you before
When your eyes had turned to black and left me waiting here
Waiting here
Yes I've seen you before
When your eyes had turned to black and left me waiting here
Yeah, come on, it's nice and cozy along
If you'll only look into yourself
And find the time but dear it's past
Pigeonholed behind the canvasses
Shades here like you've never witnessed
Step out of your frightened circle
The gaze of eyes will feel so cold
Where blackness covers all you want to know
Faces turning in upon themselves
Climbing up and falling down from above
It's you I want to give my love
Through colors bending we would see
Reflect the best come back to me
Tell me if you have to be
(chorus)
Whoa I see it
If you're lonely look into yourself
And find the time to fear is past
Pigeonholed behind the canvasses
Shades here like you've never witnessed
Yeah, oh
You count every word I say
Over again you might find a way
Seven verses to magnify
Drop the feathers you will never fly
Tapestries of black and gold they're crying
Looking through the windows I am watching you
You as you go by
Turn on a wave of fire
Your pale skin cant turn any whiter
Grab a wheel sing a bitter tune
Never stops to forget you've seen
(repeat chorus)
Walk along a lonely mile
Saw a bird falling at my feet
Crawling like a wounded child
Moving farther out of reach
Don't wanna be alone, no
Come on, come on, come on
You count every word I say
Over again you could find a way
Seven verses to magnify
Drop the feathers you will never fly
Yeah I can see for miles and the time is empty
I bounce on a wire just try and stop me
A million things I could think of today
Cause my mind is racing, I wanna stay
And get lost in your eyes
But can you swim when you cry, hey
I'm walking down a spiral staircase
Never gonna ever be able to place
The kind of things I see and hear
A room that's washed in burnin' tears
Well I walk that on by
I can't rest well when you cry, hey
Today my world has been painted light
Where's the snow that's painted white
A million things I could think of today
Cause my mind is racing and I just wanna stay
And get lost in your eyes
Slap me don't even try
Tomorrow's gonna pass on by
It's taken everything
Everything I got and it's hung me on the line
Water rising up over me
And I think I'm gonna die
Think I'm gonna die
I told a lie
That's what I said
I told the one you know I'll always keep
Whose God is mine (3x's)
Whose God is
The one with the witness
Shine your lonely light on me
I'll be there to hold the mirror
I can take you down with me
Show you lonely, lonely, lonely
Death wastes no time it seems
And it's hung me on the line
Hung me on the line
Hard rain falling all over me
And I think I'm gonna die
Think I'm gonna die
I told a lie
That's what I said
I told the one you know I'll always keep
Whose God is mine (3x's)
Whose God is
The one with the witness
Yard trip number seven's
The one that they painted on the lawn
And if we load it up into this gun
Soon it'll all be gone
Quarter to eleven on the day of my birth
In the desert wind I would have a grin
That might shatter the earth
Whoa
There's three short ways to live again
Crumble like paper upon my skin
They all tell you to try
But you're gonna cry
When no one cares where you've beenCouple days of driving in circles I'd rather spin
We've got eight more lives and two more tries
And six ways for drifting beyond
Whoa
Yard trip number seven's the one they
Tried to steal from heaven
And if we load it up into this gun
Soon it'll all be gone
Whoa
Sand on the beach beats a hole through my hand
Hands of the clock stand where I have to walk
All the way around
Turn upside down
Just look around to the turning
Everything inside is burning
Sign on the wall that I don't understand
It's just a part of a dream that I had
Feet on the ground
Head in the sound
Just look around to the turning
Everything inside is burning
Water so cool that it's thoughts seem to soothe
Some things are real that I don't have to prove
Now you are learning
Rome now is burning
Just look around to the turning
Everything inside is burning
Just look around to the turning
I sit alone, discontent
Your ears don't hear what I say
After awhile you disconnect
To set you apart from the pain
I walked past you all your life
But there is only one place
Next to you where I decide in the presence of your grace
Hide your eyes from what is real
And you don't know what I'll do
Your pattern's locked in all these drawers
But only one holds your clue
Watch for people coming through
They don't know where I stand
One foot is by your side and one in another land
I've been down so many roads
As a child too far away
I've been down so many roads
I was travelin' too far away, and I say
I return from miles away
To find that I didn't know you
I would go where the river flows if I were able to
But I walk by you once again
There is only one place
Next to you where I decide in the presence of your grace
I've been down so many roads
As a child too far away
I've been down so many roads
I was traveling too far away
I've been down so many roads
If you see my birds flying
On your way past people crying
Give them all a wave and tell them
That I'm going to save some time for them
If you pass me in the square
Just pretend that I'm not there
Just reach over into my pocket
Take the paper and written on it's what to do
It's up to you
Ah, ah, ah
Transfiguration
Hey hey
If you think I'm taking too long
Just imagine that I'm gone
Everybody wants to sleep but
Sleep is something they must keep from getting into
You know
And I know
Playing cards who can't pretend
But only you would remember when
Close our eyes and see each other
One last time and you know my mother said it's true
That it's up to you
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Transfiguration
Hey hey
Ten thousand different things to be
It's impossible that's all
If you decide which one you want
They'll help you if you fall
Transfiguration
Hey hey
If you see me trying to swim backwards up the stream
Remember I'm the only one who only had that dream
If you jump into the water and try to swim but then you sink
Try not to look behind yourself, just have yourself a drink
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Transfiguration
Time speaks with golden words
(you watch them burn)
When there's nothing to be heard
Hides behind the stars
Silver in the night
(she can't be right)
Lies in the coming light
She speaks with diamonds in their eyes
She won't
Time living with today
(who is to say)
In a lonely way
She whispers never a surprise
She won't tell you why
Time speaks her golden tongue
(nowhere to run)
And when everything is done
She lies to no one
Never found her here
(her words so clear)
She lives within us here
She speaks with diamonds in their eyes
Were you around
Spring came today
Outside your room
You were away
All the lost hours spent in the cold
I didn't care
I dreamed you were there
Now I'm counting my chances gone 1 2 3
If you see me today would you remember me
Say you are free why don't you really live
You gotta hate forever never can forgive
And it's clear
I learned to trust the rain
I'm drifting out of reach
It's kind of strange out here
In this city built on broken glass
And the carcasses of a million dead sheep
Where the blood runs thick down third street
Down the gutter to the railroad station
And takes a train
Up, over these big mountains to the sea
That's where you gotta be
You gotta go to the sea
Yesterday I'm so glad to forget
I was so sane all life remains
But think of the time you learned to love
The rain in the park we walked in the dark
Now I'm counting my chances gone 1 2 3
If you saw me today would you remember me
Been raining forever, go ahead and leave
But you gotta hate forever, you never can forgive
So clear
I can't distrust the rain
I'm drifting out of reach
I'm burning baby, catch on fire with me
There's a ghost in my head
And he's chasing me through my dreams
I want to take a train today
I'd take it straight to any place
I keep on riding, keep on rolling away
Woah yeah
I'm burning baby, got no place to go
It's just a crawl through the weeks
To destination unknown
And doesn't it seem strange
Some things never change
Some things never change
Woah yeah
Get burned away, yeah
I get burned away
I'm burning baby, catch on fire with me
There's some ghosts in my head
And they're chasing me through my dreams
Yeah, I want to take a train today
I'd take it straight to any place
I keep on riding, keep on rolling away
I get burned away
Yeah, I'm leaving town
In the midnight rain
Can't get back, can't remind you
We're closer now than I would want to be
They think it's easy if you just imagine
Before the dust will trip you up again
Choose the way that you want to go now
I'll meet you there, meet you there somehow
We leave behind all this worried puzzle
Wake from a dream, I knew you'd be there still
Don't you step into the shadows
Into a place where nobody goes
Through a gate where everything flows
With the fallen shadows
Down the street lined with dirt and plastic
When you appeared I just happened to be
In the midst of another nightmare
Taking me back just like I knew it would
Don't you step into the shadows
There's a place where nobody goes
Through a gate where everything flows
With the fallen shadows
In the dark there's no-one with me
There's no stars to warm my skin
I'd light a match if I could hold one
It's coming over me again
It's coming over me again, yeah
Let this feeling go on past us
Let this cage turn into rust
So many pieces and so many people
You'll never figure out just who I was then
Don't you step into the shadows
Into a place where nobody goes
Through a gate where everything flows
Clairvoyance (repeated)
Wild into the dead of night
Around the corner I see a light
See it coming my way run
Standing on the ground waiting for the sign
Whoa I can't go on I can't sleep
I can't last more than another week
'cause I know what's coming then
Forgive my lies, I see it's too much
Doing all I can not to see your plan
I know it's no good
No good to keep you waiting
Whoa I can't go on I can't sleep
I can't last more than another week
'cause I know what's coming then
'cause of my clairvoyance
Daylight isn't here
But it's a part of us
I see it coming my way run
Standing on the grass waiting for the sun
Whoa I can't go on I can't sleep
I can't last more than another week
'cause I know what's coming then (repeat)
'cause of my clairvoyance
The hour is ending, can't you see
There is no way now, to get free
In the shadow of the season
Without a reason, to carry on
Without a reason, without a reason
And from the north woods, down to the valley
In a world of hurting, I'm moving on
And from the lighthouse, out on the ocean
Can't climb the mountain, so very tall
Said Lord, please give me what I need
He said there's pain and misery
Oh, sweet oblivion, feels alright
The hour is drawing ever closer
And rolling over, won't let me be
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason, to carry on
Said Lord, please give me what I need
He said there's pain and misery
Oh, sweet oblivion
She calls me onward to her side
And feels her song deep inside
And find a reason
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason to carry on
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason to carry on
Find a reason to carry on, to carry on
Action in the ways I see today
Hold me back into the world where I can stay
Go away so I can see you in my eye
The world is a panic lost in time
(chorus)
Other worlds for us to find
Leaving all these things behind
Sun is fire in the sky
Burns a hole into our lives
I look into the eyes of my disguise
There you are waiting for my cries
Hide in darkness staying out of sight
Flashing feelings cloud the night
(chorus)
Knowing when I'm going to fall
I try so hard to do it all
Flames surround this dream I'm in
Suddenly it never ends
Can't take a train you know they move too slow
Gotta take to the airport where I wanna go
Heart beating like a million miles an hour
Listening the wind is turning sweet to sour
Orange airplane
Take me to a new day
Little orange airplane
Take me to a new day
I land downtown in the middle of the day
I'm coming down hard so get out of the way
Looking up to heaven trying to find a clue
Said I'm too far gone, gotta pay my dues on
An orange airplane
Take me to a new day
Come on
Little orange airplane
Take me to a new day
I'll be heading into orbit on a sunday morning
My legs are broken and my ears are ringing
Orange airplane takes me to my home
Take me to the graveyard and bury my bones on
An orange airplane
Take me to a new day
Come on
Little orange airplane
Take me to a new day
Take me far away
You try to think but you find your head full
Time slips into the hands of the wrong people
(I know you know)
Crashing, howling something's coming at you
(You know I know)
Turns to go when you don't want it to, yeah
She turns her head and never tells you who
I'm moving fast so I'm unveiling
The many ways that I am failing to see
(I can see you)
Feeling like two people I can't be
(You can see too)
So many things that got away from you, yeah
Turns to go when you don't want it toTry to speak with so many voices
They cloud the space with so many noises
I know you know
Other different days on different planets, yeah
Turns to go when you don't want it to, yeah
The girl with silver eyes is calling you
So look into the sun it's shining blue
In the land where we must speak every one of us will roam
The birds that fly here never know
Tallest trees or windows blow
Now your mind is next to mine
Infinity leaves us behind
Now your mind is next to mine
We go on down the road of time
Mirrors go on down below
No one knows just where we go
In a sea far past the night
Don't wake up and scream in fright
(repeat chorus)
Now we know where we will be
Together in the darkened trees
The human race down on it's knees
Someday yeah you will see
Her ghost hides
In my mind
In the night
In a way she's haunting me
I'm wanting her still
Thru rose colored skies
Or blue, blue moonlight
There's miracles on high
She's walking by
When I look at you I've got a 2nd chance
Really need to have you now
One by one they fall it always breaks me down
The quiet
Cuts me thru
The candle burnt
The knife has turned
The pain withers
Alive I know deep inside
When I look at you I've got a second chance
Really need to take it now
One by one they fall it always breaks me down
Her ghost hides
In my eyes
Alone in a room with shadows staring at the wall
Gotta shade my eyes for a moment try and understand it all
Disappear I'm just a ghost left over from another day
Lost in thoughts with a lonely girl
Never find out another way
(where are you)
Lonely girl
(where are you)
Not in my world
Every day in total darkness, every day is hell
Every day is black as night, no one left to tell
Disappear I'm just a ghost left over from another day
Lost in thoughts of a lonely girl
She went out another way
Where are you lonely girl
Where are you
Not in my world
If you wanna get to heaven let me tell you how
Keep your hand on the gospel plow
Hold on (3x's)
Mary had a golden chain
Every link spelled jesus' name
Hold on (3x's)
Mary had a golden chain
Hold on
If you wanna get to heaven let me tell you how
Keep your hand on the gospel plow
Waking up without you now I'm on my own
Coming down the sky burns into my soul
And I wanna know that you're mine
I gotta know you're mine
Come on back tomorrow said you'll be all right
I'll never find the way now to kill the time
And I wanna know what's in your mind
I gotta know you're mine
And I fell alone
And my dreams are torn
You're not at all
Not at all
Not at all
Who you say you are
Gotta know
Gotta know
Gotta know where
You're going
Waking up without you girl... (same as beginning)
Come on now I'm waiting
No one is walking by my side
I believe that if I get off track
You've got something that can bring me back
I go to you now and in a way you're very different somehow
Come on come on let's go inside
Come on come on go back to find
Come on back she's asking why
Go out into my side forever
Forever
There's only you forever
Forever, to the end now
There's only you
There's only you
Come with me to the place that's real
Look below you into the fields of green
The sound of my soul to capture you and let you go
Come on come on let's go inside
Come on come on go back to find
Thing about you that you hide
Run out into my side forever
Only you forever
Forever to the end now
There's only you
There's only you
Come on up to the higher ground
Even if you're falling down
Surround you with the moonlight
Now here's the door into the night
Come on come on let's go inside
Come on come on go back to find
Thing about you that you hide
Turn around into my side forever
It's only you forever
Forever to the end now
It's only you
It's only you forever (repeat)
We will see forever
Sleep awaits somewhere distant that I miss
Nights fade but there's one I won't forget
Light another cigarette and just wait
And wish for something to take me far away
Flames well up deep inside
Change has come and you can't hide in the ashes, no
One touch leaves a mark upon the hand
Alone with thoughts I can't understand
Roaming down the sidewalk I'm in hell
Words come rushing back just as clear as a bell
Flames well up deep inside
Change has come and you can't hide in the ashes, no
Grimace softly but gently on my face
Hope sleep comes fast, there's a world to erase
Flames well up deep inside
Change has come and you can't hide in the ashes, no
You can't hide in the ashes, no
Don't you hide in the ashes
Don't you hide in the ashes
All these dyin' days
I walk the ghost town
Used to be my city
I seen a holy man
Seen him cryin' with the Mother Mary
All these dyin' days
Yes it's too late
This life isn't mine
Lord, hear me pray
Can you ease my mind?
Now they're gone forever
Jesus, I done gone over
Sleepin' alone
You stay on your side
If I couldn't lie
Like all of a thousand other times
I wouldn't be on this highway
Taken on down this highway
All these dyin' days
I walk the ghost town
Used to be my city
I seen a holy man
Seen him cryin' with the Mother Mary
All these dyin' days
All these dyin' days
I walk the ghost town
Used to be my city
I seen a holy man
Seen him cryin' with the Mother Mary
All these dyin' days, oh yeah
Yes it's too late
This life isn't mine
Lord, don't you hear me pray?
Can you ease my mind?
Waiting for the sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine
All these dyin' days
I walk the ghost town
Used to be my city
I seen a holy man
Seen him cryin' with the Mother Mary
All these dyin' days, ah yeah
Dyin'
I'm dyin'
Do you remember old dead eyes in the sun
Days last forever through somewhere we run
Doesn't look so bad with a voice beyond your head
With some experience we'll go
Anything here that you see is in the wrong reality
Days within a glass cube
An uncertain path to bring me up to your door
Cracks in your walls greet me just like before
The cycle smiles on your face and in your hair
A different room we're in some other
Anything here that you see is in the wrong reality
Days within a glass cube
Days within a glass cube
Days within a glass cube
All the walls are crystal glass
You never find the time to ask
You gotta lose your way to find it
You don't think you can but you will
This will be all right for today
It's all right for today (repeat)
We're all round the table and I will slip behind
Broken hearted daydreams in back of all our minds
Welcome to reality it's not a realization
It's everlasting but I would go through
Anything here that you see is in the wrong reality
Days within a glass cube (repeat 2x)
You gotta lose your way to find it
You'll think you can't but you will
You will
Histories are held within your heart, so let it go
Open all the doors around your eyes and let us know
Certain keys are held within your hand, so let it show
Bring us closer to the flame, bring us closer to the fire
Where's the spark within your eye? Where's the spark?
Thunder in your ears until you can't hear this at all
Rivers flowing tears until your destinies dissolve
Drifting through the years until a voice receives your call
Bring us closer to the fire, bring us closer to the flame
The end and beginning are the same, it's all the same
Mysteries are kept within your heart, so let it show
Open all the doors around your eyes and let us know
Certain keys were held until they must have let you go
Bring us closer to the flame, bring us closer to the fire
Where do you stand when it's all over?
Washed from the earth and down to the sea
Do you lie in a bed of roses?
Are you still aware?
Guess that you don't care about it now
I see your shadow knocking at my door
All plastic face and shaking hands
Now how much space could ever hold your here
Are you still aware?
Guess that you don't care about it now
Where do you stand when it's all over?
Washed from the earth and down to the sea
Do you lie in a bed of roses?
Are you still aware?
Guess that you don't care about it now
Are you still aware?
Stand against barriers
Through cruel hallways
Up against barriers
In every day
Give me another shot
Come and let me hear you talk
Glassy eyes I look like chalk
Call a word and hear it mocked
The hands of the clock
Night is a barrier
In dark hallways
Lights in the barriers
In every way
Show me fantastic lands
Come pick through little sands
Just what is out of my hands
Like the world I just go around, man
Test the barrier
Daylight ever come
Up against the barrier
So I take some
Time to throw my life away
Feel it slipping every day
All they see is down in pain
Give it to me let it reign
Through the dark window pane
Up against the barrier
The daylight ever come
Up against the barrier
So I take some more man gonna take some more man
Up against the barrier
Watching shadows fall across the floor
And the wind blows wild
Step outside into the night
Step outside myself for awhile
It all comes apart but then my eyes
Try to put it back together
It all comes apart could I ever
Put it back together
The yellow truck slows to a halt
Now come the dogs it don't matter
Walking all alone down a one way street
Best time I ever had
It all comes apart but then my eyes
Try to put it back together
It all comes apart could I ever
Put it back together
I watch the shadows fall across the floor
And the wind blows wild
Step outside into the night
Step outside myself for awhile
It all comes apart and my eyes
Try to put it back together
It all comes apart could I ever
Put it back together
Bite the thorn that pierce the skin
Come back down to earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
You disconnect the telephone line
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Get away
Gotta get away
'fore the lord gonna make me stay
All that I know
Shoulda been
Coulda been
Mine
I killed the last way out of this
Persuaded by a deceitful kiss
That said you better stay
Said you better stay
Better stay
Said you better stay
'fore it's all gone
Gone away
All that I know...(repeat)
Bite the thorn that pierce the skin
Come back down to earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
You disconnect the telephone line
Gotta get away....
'fore I lose my mind
Said you better stay...
'fore it's all gone
Gone away
Blackness all around
(Can you wake me?)
Truthless little town
(Can you wake me?)
Flying on your streets
(Can you wake me?)
I'm drowning in your sleep
(Can you wake me?)
From another dreamless night
Long before we arise
Howling in the fields
(Can you wake me?)
Unconquered and unreal
(Can you wake me?)
I'm crawling deep inside
(Can you wake me?)
I'm drifting with the tide
(Can you wake me?)
From another dreamless night
Long before we arise
Well you're the only key
The one that's deep inside of me
Late at night in the pale of fright I wake up only to turn on the light
You tell me all these things in the desperate creeping night
You tell me all these things while the darkness hides the light
Seventeen colors on the back of the wall
I run out the door and into the hall
You know I've never seen your face before
But there you are when you open the door
You tell me all these things in the desperate creeping night
You tell me all these things while the darkness hides the light
Gonna turn the only key
Now that's the one thing that I need
Late at night looking at the sky
And I see the things you say I'm not
You tell me all these things in the desperate creeping night
You tell me all these things while the darkness hides the light
You tell me all these things
Winds are fake but you're over there
Didn't sit here long inside my stare
In those pale blue skies you spy the errors
Strange to see how your vision narrows
An unspoken claim
In your ears it rings
You know where it's at now
Maybe a time for one inspection
You took off in the wrong direction
And nobody wants to hear
Like so many did when the days were clear
An unspoken pain
In your ears it rings
You know where it's at now
Something died when you said goodbye, yeah
Hardly time for one last look
Giving up on what we took
It's no good unless we stand
Face to face alone my friend
An unspoken thing
In your ears it rings
You know where it's at now
You know where it's at now
Tries to preach us in the dark
By the river I hear you talking
Strike a match to Western sky
Blowing fire in the sweet
Sweet summertime, alright
Eyes betray what your words don't speak
Burn my gaze with sadness turn your head away
I'd rather be almost anywhere else
A step away from madness
Oh, no man's promised land tell me what you may
Saw the moonlight waiting somewhere further down the way
Wrong turn to Jahannon and I wonder if you'd stay
No man
[Incomprehensible]
Just a preacher in the dark
By the river I hear you talking
Strike a match to the Western skies
Blowing fire in the sweetest summertime
Oh, no man's promised land tell me what you may
Saw the moonlight waiting somewhere further down the way
Wrong turn to Jahannon and I wonder if you'd stay
No man, no man, I wonder if you'll stay
Yeah, I wonder if you'll stay
I wonder if you'll speak
Yeah, wonder if, wonder if, wonder if
Wonder if you'll stay at home
Walking down a different kind of plain
Are you really in this
Not at all, said I'd never go
Why don't you close your eyes now
The yellow moon could never reach the corner
The looking glass cracked
Stumble past the doors and leap beyond
Beyond the mirror
Behind my back now you will disappear
Do you feel
Can you reach my hand
Or do you just believe there's
Nothing wrong I ask but always wanted
Turn your mind off
Stumble past the doors and leap beyond
Beyond the mirror
Never really goin' anywhere but here
Behind my back now you will disappear
Walking down a different kind of plain
Are you really in this
Not at all, said I'd never go
Why don't you close your eyes
Then the yellow moon could never reach the corner
A looking glass cracked
Stumble past the doors and leap beyond
Beyond the mirror
Never really goin' anywhere but here
The yellow moon is rising
It's getting clear
There’s a riot in my house
chaos is blossoming
run and hide little mouse
go on and get yourself together
when burn outs by the score
strung out in metal cages
see technicolor pour
from every laceration
i realise that i’m slowly coming down with you
angels fill my room
with what i’ve scant belief in
when death’s metal broom
comes sweeping through the evening
get up off the floor
there’s hot smoking radiation
from window to the door
in ultra violent hesitation
i realise that i’m slowly coming down with you
battle lines appear
within them the broken mirrors
yet the dogs have no fear
fighting in the dark grey shadows
hear the coughing sound
mama bring my medication
no harmony is found
while performing levitation
i realise that i’m slowly coming down with you
there’s a riot in my house
chaos is blossoming
run and hide little mouse
go on and get yourself together
from window to the door
there’s cold choking strangulation
see technicolor pour
from every amputation
Nowhere is the soul I felt
Now I've lost my way
Nowhere is the place I've been
Promise not to stay
How it was and always is
Sometimes it never will begin
And it won't take very long, if you come around
(Too long)
If it all goes wrong, you can lay your head down
Nothing is inside the hollow
Shell I left behind
Nothing left of innocence
It's drifting with the tide
How it was and always is
May be it never will begin
And it won't take very long, if you come around
(Too long)
If it all goes wrong, you can lay your head down
Nowhere is the love I felt
Now I've lost my way
Nowhere is the place I've been
Promise not to stay
How it was and always is
Sometimes it never will begin
And it won't take very long, if you come around
(Too long)
If it all goes wrong, you can lay your head down
And it won't take very long, if you come around
(Too long)
You're climbing down fast
Down where no one can see
Your eyes in the moonlight turn white to blue
Don't think I really want to know where you've been
Just want your grip tight around my skin
I said ivy on the wall
I know way that you creep and crawl
There's a dark-haired girl on a mattress
And there's a room suspended in the air
Echoes screaming through my empty soul
And when it melts in my mouth
Well then I just don't know
Ivy on the wall
I know the way that you creep and crawl
I said ivy on the wall
And in your eyes I can see it all
Wake up in the morning, it's another time
Blood red rain on the window pane
Oh, I've got to let you go
But you know I don't believe it
They tell me it's all over
Ivy on the wall
I know by the way that you creep and crawl
I said ivy on the wall
And in your eyes I can see it all
Ivy on the wall
Ivy on the wall
Ivy on the wall
When you walked into the room
Never seen your face up here
On the ground with all that crawls
To your head before the dawn
Now I'm caught between and tired of all this pain
Holds you under but the shadows still remain
Voices tap you from behind
Did one say that I was wrong
Go ahead and blind yourself
Feeling never will be gone
Now I'm caught between and tired of all this pain
Holds you under but the shadows still remain
Time has taken me down from my pedestal
Then you walked into the room
Never seen your face before
Close my eyes and see the sky
Won't follow you there anymore
Now I'm caught between and tired of all this pain
Holds you under but the shadows still remain
Time has taken me down
It's taken me down, way down there
You know that it's taken me
Oh, I said, "Lord, don't take me"
And now it's taken me down
Down by the ground now
Changin' memories, they fade away
The hours and the days
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on wings that you're goin' to die
Cry, cry butterfly
Well I'm sick and I want to go home
To an empty room
Four walls around, nothin' to be found
Of empty promises, in a lonesome town
Let me lay you down
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're goin' to die
Cry, cry butterfly
Well I'm sick and I want to go home
The changin' memories, they fade away
In the hours in the day
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're goin' to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I want to go home
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're goin' to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I want to go home
Well I'm sick and I want to go home
When the daylight shines
I'm gonna see your face
Whoa yeah
Can we go back to the moments that we held before
Now I'm movin' inside to the place beyond the door
You said son it seems it's time you wait
Trip into the hazy shadow crawlin' down his face
Now you can do it, don't let it slip right through
Don't let the maddest peak pick a part of you
Walk away in the dark
Too much prayin'
Too strange to sleep
Come down to my house baby
There's things you wont believe
Black sun morning
Coming up to greet the dawn
Black sun morning
Coming up to greet us all
To greet us all
Oh should I go or stay if I hear lies
I feel them burnin' me in the back of my eyes
And I see it all the time
Visions scarin' me inside
Half a simple day and night
Should I stay or should I hide
(chorus)
I can see in her eyes
Lyin' above her
Shout it out if I'm left out
Call it now
I feel it slippin'
Through my fingers
I feel it slippin' away, away, away
Count the miles before they pass you by
Shadow of the sun has crossed the sky
Fill your head with everything you find
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Somewhere in the valley where you lie
Pray for those whose sun will never rise
Ghosts are laughing everywhere you land
Take another step and then you can
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Count the miles before they pass you by
Shadow of the sun has crossed the sky
Fill your head with everything you find
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
I don't want to know
I just want to be
Up inside the life
Held in front of me
Never felt so empty inside
I can't find the tears to cry
Ash grey Sunday with you
I want to live
where I've never been
In case I try to hide
Think you'll understand
I can't find the tears to cry
Nowhere now, empty inside
Lives in the dimming of your eyes
comes from a thousand years behind
born on the wrong side of life
pieces of her in your mind
live forever after with Anita Grey on Saturday
don't you want something to say
Anita Grey takes you away
Today
Cry when the best of her goes by
Shine like the echo of the sigh
Pieces of her in your mind
born on the wrong side of life
live forever after with Anita Grey on Saturday
don't you want something to say
Anita Grey takes you away
Away
Anita Grey on Saturday
don't you want something to say
Anita Grey takes you away
Well I'm tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the Lord comes and calls me away, oh yes
With the morning so bright and the lamb is alight
And the night is as black as the sea
There'll be peace in the valley for me someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, dear Lord I
pray
There'll be no sadness no sorrow no trouble that I see
There will be peace in the valley for me
Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down with the lamb, oh yes
And the beast from the wild would be led by a child
And I'll be changed from this creature that I am
There'll be peace in the valley for me someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, dear Lord I
pray
There'll be no sadness no sorrow no trouble that I see
There will be peace in the valley for me
Smoke rings drift in the wind
Looks like they're never coming back again
A sideways street till we reach the end
Wishing all the while that I'd never been here
Feeling like the leaves and I blow about fast
Making me think nothing ever lasts
Reflection mirrored in a shade of grey
Now I don't remember why I ever stayed
Dark clouds are moving in
Dogs howl out in the wind
Smoke rings drift over me
Smoke rings are dreams
Ice cold kiss on a cold steel rail
Like all of the sights that I've watched fail
You told me that you never want to change your place
Just another story that you can't erase
Dark clouds are moving in
Dogs howl out in the wind
Smoke rings drift over me
Smoke rings are dreams
Smoke rings drift in the wind
Looks like they're never coming back again
A sideways street and the fog sets in
Wishing all the while that you'd never been, yeah
Dark clouds are moving in
Dogs howl out in the wind
Smoke rings drift over me
Moving slowly in the morning light
Waiting for you to come along
Understand it's time for a change
Now I know I've got nothing to say
Looking through me like there's no one there
Journey to the great nowhere
If you are seeing what you're believing it's nothing new
Don't say you're seeing what you're believing
I've been there too, yeah
Today you bring yourself around
Only walking in the shade
Say I should change before it's too late
Now I know I've got nothing to say
Looking through me like there's no one there
Send me to the great nowhere
If you are seeing what you're believing it's nothing new
Don't say you're seeing what you're believing
I've been there too, yeah
Moving slowly through the morning light
I waited for you to come along
Too bad that it's too late
You should know I've got nothing to say
I'll be alone and I don't care
Journey to the great nowhere
If you are seeing what you're believing it's nothing new
Don't say you're seeing what you're believing
'Cause I know too
Moving around in the outer reaches
Hiding out with all the creatures there
The dirt is drifting down upon us
But my friends would never crack a frown
We're going to the poison planet
We're going to it now
Looking beyond this point in time
Seems unreal somehow
Time to know just what I'm buying
Cold still walls remain
And I'm flying
Trapped in the valley of love you're giving
Special power
Now what was that
Looking to you with gratitude that seems unreal somehow
Time to know just what I'm buying
Cold still walls remain
And I'm flying
Flying
Moving around in the outer reaches
Hiding out with all the creatures there
The dirt is drifting down upon us
But my friends would have never cracked a frown
Million worlds our soul is gutted
It seems unreal somehow
Time to know just what I'm buying
Cold still walls remain
And I'm flying
Flying
Fade into the picture and you're always there
Long liquid fingers and a bloodshot stare
Screaming like the way I hear an angel sing
Call you once and fall away from everything
Oh, I know we've already gone
In the direction of the sun
In the direction of the sun
I hid behind the curtain where the serpent went
Watching many moons go by around your head
Close enough to feel that I'm cold inside
I've seen you shake and now I know why
Oh, I know it's already gone
In the direction of the sun
In the direction of the sun
Fade into the picture and you're always there
Long liquid fingers and a bloodshot stare
Screaming like the way I hear an angel sing
Call you once and fall away from everything
Oh, I know I've already gone
Seal my fate, it's a simple game, it still has it's uses
Cannot escape, torn and frayed
have the keys to lose it
Low life, it's a low life
Low life, I've been down
and I've had quite a time
Plan to kick, makes me sick
I take no more chances
crooked smile, all the while
a little misunderstanding
Low life, it's a low life
Low life, I've been down
and I've had quite a time
...straight, hours late
no death can refuse me
I'm wide awake, make no mistake
....???
Low life, it's a low life
Low life, I've been down
Don't you try to find me any more, I want to stay
Outside of your world this time you've thrown it all away
That was one mistake I never thought you'd make
Once you walk the path that has no end
Close the door and think awhile when you are all alone
Staring into nothingness your eyes have turned to atone
Return, to yesterday, there is no easy way
Once you walked away, but now you stand, yeah
Faded out of memories and moments that you took
Locked away inside a box, never thought you would
Follow it down and back, disappearing in your own tracks
Deep into my tears
Hold me under drownin' in despair
So many years, only place to hide
Where she could fly never in the sky
And I would not hesitate
To tell the story of her fate
In a storm was she dead or disappeared?
Or did she fly, never said, goodbye, goodbye?
Leaves have turned to gold
And all the trees have fallen to the ground
I can't explain, all along I knew
That she would fly but I think she's died
Day breaks and I don't care
The kiss of light upon the stairs
Is coming to the doorway
But there's nothing out there
Time's stopped within my mind
Same as all the rest behind
Everything has changed while I was sleeping
One day you'll find she's of another mind
And it won't be long until the night comes creeping
Loud voices fill the sky
Strange faces in her eyes
And I'm a stranger now but I just don't know it
The circle closes up too slow
Shining in translucent glow
It's darker now 'cause that's the way she sees it
One day you'll find she's of another mind
And it won't be long until the night comes creeping
Next train to outer space
But of her love there is no trace
The world just turns to silver when you're alone
A different way to bring you down
Falls apart and hits the ground
'take it from me' they said
So you take it with a trembling hand
One day you find she's of another mind
And it won't be long until the night comes creeping
Ten million directions coming up and coming on strong
These roads run together in my mind's eye
All I'm leaving behind is a river run dry
Did you hear the distant cry
Calling me back to my sin?
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once again
I nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it's taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let's try to sleep now
Drag me far enough to know
I'm blind every mile that you burn
There's a rider that's fallen
And it's clear there's no time to return
I nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it's taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let's try to sleep now
Did you hear the distant lie
Calling me back to my sin?
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once again
I nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it's taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let's try to sleep now
I nearly lost you there, I nearly lost you
I nearly lost you there, I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you there
A dog hides in the night
Don't know wrong from right
A dog hides from the heat
I need sugar sweet
I need some but she
Says I'm going to ruin my mind
Something's gone wrong inside
I'm thinking, paradise
All that I want
And a little water
And a little water
Something's gonna wrong in my mind
Something's gonna wrong inside
I'm thinking, paradise
Julie your mother cried
Sent home a bullet for the family
That's how your father died
Died a broken and lonely man
Something's gonna wrong in my mind
Something's gonna wrong inside
I'm thinking, hey
Hey Lord, keep ahold
You don't ever know where to fall
Hey Lord, keep ahold
You don't ever know where to fall
A dog hides in the night
Don't know wrong from right
A dog hides from the heat
I need sugar sweet
I need some but she
Says I'm going to ruin my mind
Something's gonna wrong inside
I'm thinking, paradise
Julie your mother cried
Sent home a bullet for the family
That's how your father died
Died a broken and lonely man
Something's gonna wrong in my mind
Something's gonna wrong inside
I'm thinking, paradise
This is for footsteps approaching the night
They keep themselves moving and do what is right
Now watch what you gather and hold in your hand
Numbers are many, misunderstand
Drink your wine away instead
I will remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me never more
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a crying shame
Tell you a story of that which comes last
All of the sorrow that lives in the past
Now if you're tired of all that's been told
Don't be surprised that I've grown so old
Drink your wine away instead
I will remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me never more
And I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a cryin' shame
Ahh yea
Breathin' in shadows of dead on the wine
I'm there in the mornin' to take you sometimes
To watch what you gather and hold in your hand
The numbers are many, who misunderstand
Drink your wine away instead
I will remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me never more
And I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
(I believe in you)
Must be a cryin' shame
(I believe in you)
Must be a cryin' shame
(I believe in you)
Must be a crying shame
(I believe in you)
Ohh hey
(I believe in you)
Must be a cryin' shame
(I believe in you)
Must be a crying shame
(I believe in you)
Torn like an old dollar bill
Girl let them say, what they will
That no one should hurt you and that's all I seem to do
That no one should desert you, that's all I seem to do
I got to tell you, goodbye mama
We've taken this too far
Been trying to tell you what's going on
Yeah
Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better, make it easier on you
It's all I came to do, oh
It's all I came to do, oh
Now I'm down in the light
I must be dreaming it
'Cause I see clearly, I see angels here
Bringin' something to me, mother mercy
I told a lie, I didn't mean it
Goodbye mama, I've taken this too far
Been gone a while
Been gone a long way, oh yeah
I don't want to hurt you
It's all I seem to do
Don't want to desert you
It's all I seem to do
I got to tell you, goodbye mama
I've taken this too far
Been down a while
Been down a long way
Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better, make it easier on you
It's all I came to do
It's all I came to do
It's all I came to do
That's all
Oh yeah, a long long way
Locked in this darkened room, a timeless view
Shall I not ponder everything inside
Can't escape my mind
I just let the shadow rot through my soul
But I got illumination on the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern, it's my invisible lantern
Anxious echoes seal the door
Shoes on the floor kicking in my eye
To all my friends I'm crazy and I'm shut away
The don't care about anything I say
So I took my illumination into the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern, it's my invisible lantern
The heavy warm lights shade me from the thoughts
That try to creep in my c-c-c-consciousness
Transparent wheels always make me feel
Like I've never been in the right dimension
The girl I've been seeking through all these dreams
Dissolves with a touch 'cause nothing's left to see
I imagine myself outside with you
And there everyone's whispering only what's true
That I got illumination on the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern, it's my invisible lantern
Windshield frames a picture of the night
Cold driving, desert highway line
Road keeps twisting slow so I know
Recognise the diamonds flashing by
Nothing I fear could touch me here
Oh lord, it won't change
I've seen the way they turn the talk around
And all the children going down
You've got to move along until your gone
You've got to leave this ugly town
But the words they said don't leave my head
Oh lord, it won't change
Oh lord, it won't change
It won't change...
I never thought the night would find me here
Black raindrops washed away with drunken tears
I live another lie in every mile
One wasted day, one million wasted years
Better keep on going
It's the only thing I know
Oh lord, it won't change
Oh lord, it won't change
Come walk down the long hall
In the dim light of morning
Step inside my room, I'm waiting alone
It's so weird that you're finally here
In the place where you're going to see
All the sights and the sounds
And then the animals come out of the jungle
Curious to see us waiting here
On the shore of the crystal blue sea
And the waves meet the ship
That we're going to be on
On a flight from this day
To the place where we can stay
And never ever be alone
I know that I'm never going to go back home
I stand at the window, the dim light is fading
It's cold inside my room and it's getting late
Then the animals come out of the jungle
Curious to see me stare at the waves
As they roll out to sea and the waves meet the ship
That we're going to be on
On a flight from this day
To a place where we can stay
And never ever be alone
You know that I'm never going to go
You know that I'm never going to go back home again
Well alright now!
Come walk down the long hall
In the dim light of morning
Step inside my room, I'm waiting alone
It's so weird that you're finally here
In the place where you're going to see
All the sights and the sounds
And then the animals come out of the jungle
Curious to see us waiting here
On the shore of the crystal blue sea
And the waves meet the ship
That we're going to be on
On a flight from this day
To the place where we can stay
And never ever be alone
You know that I'm never going to go
You know that I'm never going to go back home again
All right now
Push against the wooden table
A sliver cut no trace of pain
I lose it's image as it blurs away
I feel the rope as it slowly frays
(chorus)
You never know where the twain shall meet
You never know which one stays
Keep aware of the trap that snares
And which one stays
Statue people move like dripping water
It's a nail into the cracking ice
You sleep with thoughts of a coming day
I drag behind on a frozen chain
(repeat chorus)
Which one stays
So I'm down but I don't know what way I'm going
So very long and it doesn't matter where this has gone
Slide a coin into the magic light machine
Watch a story that is never free
It takes a toll and it melds you wise
Keeps you alone nearly all the time
You never know where the twain shall meet
You never know which one stays
Keep aware of the trap that snares
You're never gonna know which one stays
Which one stays
Subtle poison slips through my veins
A dark cloud inside of me
It hovers slow till you finally know
I'm waiting just to set it free
Whoa the walls are closing in right on you
What are you gonna do now
The walls are closing in right on you
What did you think I would do now
Hey, come on
What I wanted still evades me
A black fog behind me
I think it will be over my shoulder
Pushin' me so very near
Now the walls are closing in right on you
What are you gonna do now
The walls are closing in right on you
What did you think I would do now
Hey, they're closing in right on you, yeah
Subtle poison slips through my veins
A dark cloud inside of me
It hovers slow til you finally know
I'm waiting just to set it free
Well the walls are closing in right on you
What are you gonna do now
The walls are closing in right on you
Come down with me
I've got a time machine held between my fingers
Knowing now your head is loaded
So heavy as the smoke still lingers
Restless lights creeping in
Your body splits in two again
It's easy when you're finding that
Stars don't sparkle where you're at
Tomorrow comes too late held back
It's a revelation revolution
Residing in a land that's either
Far away or near to my eyes
Life inside a tear with someone
Tellin' fears that fall from blue skies
Back into the darkest cell
Light won't come soon you can tell
That it's fading fast as time
It's a revelation revolution
Come down with me and see
This time machine held between my fingers
Confused and unused landing
Heavy as the smoke still lingers
Anxious sounds creeping in
Your soul splits in two again
It's easy while you're finding that
Stars don't sparkle where you're at
Tomorrow comes too late held back
It's a revelation revolution
It's a revelation revolution
I walk in cold rain
With my telescope in my hand
I had to go 27,000 miles with this cane
Now it's broken into pieces
So little time remains
I hear these voices in in the air
And I know they're just repeating
The language of the land
And the sky that I survey
I'm reciting all the verses
Prayin' straight from the book beside my bed
It's different now I'm here
Every question's coming clear
Yeah I found so many places
That I don't know where I'm at
Came right on every story
And now I can't come back
And these voices in the aisle
And I know they're just repeating
The language of the land
And the sky that I survey
Everywhere I have to go
Is so very far away
Away
Yeah, so far away
Too far away
I get these voices in my head
But I know they're just repeating
The language of the land
And the sky that I survey
Everywhere I have to go
Is so very far away
I walk in cold rain
I got my telescope in my hand
I had to go 27,000 miles with this cane
But it's broken into pieces
And so little time remains
I walk in cold rain
I walk in cold rain
Cold rain
I walk in cold rain
Cold rain falling down
I feel the cold rain falling down
Walk through to this side
I'm sinking in the pale light
Drawing breath in from thin air
When I think about the place I've been
Walk through to this side
Walk through to this side
You stand on a tightrope
You take away and no one knows
The evening sun is dripping fire
And tears are burning into your side
Walk through to this side
Walk through to this side
Walk through to this side
Yeah, music's coming down
No one is around
Got the doors open wide
Come on inside
Walk through to this side
Been waiting such a long time
I've gone travelling everywhere
I turn around but you're not there
When your head has gone to bed
Tell the story just like I said
And when you think the sun's gone dead
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy, you can't follow their
rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd
years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
Jesus knockin' on my door
Late last night, early this mornin'
Window glass, rusted and weary
I went straight through didn't hear no warnin'
Just a roll of the dice and a precious vice
To bring you 'round, it's easier
When I'm wastin' my time and I'm losin' my mind
Oh my mind
Tryin' to wait for the sky to fall
It's kind of hard not to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart
Dead end street, just out my back door
I heard what's seen, a young girl laughin'
Now raindrops fall away like souls
I wondered if she ever heard mine dyin'
Just a roll of the dice and a precious vice
To bring you 'round, it's easier
When I'm wastin' my time and I'm losin' my mind
Oh my mind
Tryin' to wait for the sky to fall
It's kind of hard not to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart
Tryin' to wait for the sky to fall
It's kind of hard not to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart
Jesus knockin' on my door
Passing the hours outside yourself
With bitter dream now don't go down
Summers reflection it falls inside
Well into darkness
[Chorus]
I have found you far too late
Silently it steps away
I wouldn't call you back to wait for me
watching the storm that's drawing near
What's barely seen is always here
It leaves a question on your breath
It has no answer
[Chorus]
passing the hours outside yourself
Bitter dream now don't go down
Dunno where or why I've got
Who lies in darkness
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down.
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am upside down.
Lady, be good, and do what you should,
you know it'll work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should,
you know it'll be alright.
Well, I'm goin' up, and I'm goin' down.
I'm gonna fly from side to side.
See the bells, up in the sky,
Somebody's cut the string in two.
Lady, be good, and do what you should,
you know it'll work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should,
you know it'll be alright.
One minute one, one minute two.
One minute up, one minute down.
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down.
Lady, be good, and do what you should,
you know it'll be alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should,
She got those watchpocket blues
She cried like Mary at the manger
Ain't got time to lose
No, don't care if I'm right
Baby, I'm just dying all the time
Be born again, I'll fall and rise
I can't help it, no, can't help it
Send me back to heaven
The cuffs still on my brain
Prising through bad vision
I stagger from the pain
Help me make it easy coming down
Help me make it easy with the sound
Sound of voices raises celebration
Don't you stop my speed to salvation
Second hand is running
Got me running out to sea
Changes shape but tomorrow
Be coming back again
Help me make it easy coming down
Help me make it easy with the sound
Sound of voices raises celebration
Try to stop my speed to salvation
You've loved the dark before the summer
You've loved the ocean that you're under
You've hugged the storm before the thunder
Don't you know that your shadow still remains
Send me back to heaven
For cuffs still on my brain
Prising through bad vision
I stagger from the pain
Come and make it easy coming down
Come and make it easy with the sound
Sound of voices raises celebration
Don't you stop my speed to salvation
She got them watchpocket blues
She cried like Mary at the manger
Couldn't help but lose
She cried like Jesus on the main line
Have you ever really needed something so bad that it
hurt?
Have you ever just wanted to feel better?
Have you ever really wanted someone you never will
lose?
Have you ever just wanted to feel nothing?
Nothing more, nothing less
Nothing matters till I'm gone
I don't want to say that I need you
Every day is wasted time
All I do is lose when I need you
All I do is lose what I find
You ask me if I care about you, like you really don't
know
I wonder if my answers still mean something
Nothing more, nothing less
Nothing matters till I'm gone
I don't want to say that I need you
Every day is wasted time
All I do is lose when I need you
All I do is lose what I find
Have you ever just wanted someone you never will lose?
Have you ever just wanted to feel nothing?
Nothing more, nothing less
Nothing matters till I'm gone
I don't want to say that I need you
Every day is wasted time
All I do is lose when I need you
All I do is lose what I find
Have you ever just wanted someone you never will lose?
Have you ever just wanted to feel nothing?
Nothing more, nothing less
Lay it to rest
You know my word ain't the best
It's just another question of faith
That I must take
Till it's laid to waste
Laid to waste, oh
I stood and I watched you weep
Until I'm gone you're sure to cry some more
I stayed, lit a cigarette
I thought we'd been here some time before
Booked and I got to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Turn your head away
Swear to you now I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
She said that it's five a.m.
I think it's time for you to go
Got to hurry, got to get on board
And drink myself to sleep at home
Booked and I got to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
Shimmy on down, baby
Shimmy on down, baby
Shimmy on down, baby
Shimmy on down, baby
Booked and I got to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
Booked and I got to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
Shimmy on down baby
Shimmy on down baby
Shimmy on down
Lay it to rest
You know my love ain't the best
This is just another question of taste
That I must take
It's a broken morning outside
Go easy on my mind
Cos you're this dream I'm hanging' on
And I'm trying' to meet the dawn
And the longest way I traveled
From the darkness to the light
Lord it's been a million miles
In these prisons I can't abide
I'm half way here, I'm half way there (repeat)
All along I've been the traveler, yeah
Forever outta time
Forever just unwinds
I see the green beyond the blue
And I'm trying' to make it thru
And the longest way I traveled
From the darkness to the light
Lord it seems a million miles
All my brothers
I can't unbind
I'm half way here, I'm half way there (repeat)
Oh lord I been the traveler, yeah
It's why the world is cold
Go easy on my soul
Cos you're this dream I'm hanging on (same as first)
I'm half way here, I'm half way there (repeat 2x's)
Tomorrow Changes
The night is calm before the storm
Lying quiet down below
I know you'll try to turn away
This is a place where I can't stay
And when tomorrow changes
Change your mind
Look into these eyes
And when tomorrow changes
Change tonight
Don't say goodbye
The tie that binds us both is gone
And now I feel you don't belong
Strangest tears I'm speaking from
This is all I ever done
And when tomorrow changes
Change your mind
Look into these eyes
When tomorrow changes
Change to light
Don't say goodbye
Now that midnight's door has closed
All the pieces come undone
Find the ashes here and there
Innocent (x4) (or In a song, In a storm, sometihng like
that)
Night is calm before the storm
Lying quiet down below
Strangest place that I can't stay
Hang your head down and...
And when tomorrow changes
Change your mind
Look into these eyes
When tomorrow changes
Change tonight
Where are you walking to?
There's a trap door straight ahead, falling through
What are you gonna do, gonna do?
Visions have us on the wall
Sister's spellbound in the hall
The house is dark and everybody's happy
Close my eyes to the dawn
There's a veil of destruction comin' on
It's all we never said, never said
Visions have us on the wall
Sister's spellbound in the hall
The house is dark and everybody's happy
The time for light is over
Darkness dropped you couldn't deal
These are things we shouldn't let go
Secrets that you shouldn't know
But it's alright, yes it's alright
Oh come on, come on, it's alright, yes it's alright
Just as far as you know, it's alright
Where are you walkin' now?
Your neck's inside a trap comin' down
Our heads are filled with all the things
We used to say and everything we never said, never said
Visions have us on the wall
Sister's spellbound in the hall
The house is dark and everybody's happy
Lyin' in the quiet darkness
Gettin' high alone
Pictures shiftin' out of focus
Not as far to go
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Secret kind
Yesterday is twice removed
Tomorrow's close behind
Alone and unreliable
Windows out of time
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Secret kind
Lyin' in the quiet darkness
Gettin' high alone
Pictures shiftin' out of focus
Not as far to go
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Secret kind
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Well your eyes are out of my soul, cold and tired
Open like a door to a winter's night
Silver sky becomes a background that begins to grey
Won't find me falling the second I awake
I thought I was going backwards
Walking down the lane
Found a foggy street
Now I'm not the same
Through a maze of walls and fences
Nothing can be heard
Where a million images are spun to just one
My memories are twisted here as I stand
They hold no meaning for me now without a sound
I can hear the bells are ringing calmly in my ears
Cross the fields that stretch forever
Come on
The sound of the ocean destroys the silence
And he stands on the edge of the morning
With the rising tides and he's watching day lay
His will is strong but his legs are failing, yeah
On the pathway
Moving ever forward down the pathway
Throw flowers from electric circles
No mother, father, brother, sister
The whole of the ocean is bathed in sunlight
His first contact is his only sight
On the pathway
Moving ever further down the pathway
The sound of the ocean destroys the silence
As he stands on the edge of the morning
Maybe the answers don't come at all
Just the pain and echo of his call
On the pathway
Moving ever further down the pathway
Moving ever, ever further down the pathway
Go on
Well clouds divide and I see a shape
Pretty girl through the mind gape
Running back fast away
Past the shadows where I stay
Long, long hair
Knock, not there
Wind dissolves the clouds
But the street light you're the only witness
The girl behind the mask
She's the one
Who never has to ask, yeah
With magic pouring from her eyes
There's nothing she can't recognize
Makes me want to understand
Makes me feel like melting black
When you're the last flash
When time stands still I ask
Where to fall and I could be calling
Never been in a dream where she could see
The girl behind the mask
She's the one
Who never has to ask
She reads through your disguise
It's too late
You never realize
And I never realized
Up the stairs her picture's waiting
In the room she might be waiting
We're baptized still getting blinded in the darkness
If I get back to her I'd walk away into the forest
And into the thicket, where can I go lord
The girl behind the mask
She's the one
Who never has to ask
She reads through your disguise
It's too late
You never realize
You never realize
Winter's setting in again
And it feels
Like the end is near
Senseless sense and I'm alone
Watching' the seconds
Passing' by
Come january I swear this world
Won't be the one
That we once lived on
Took an oath
For a promise sworn and broken
All that's gone
Away
When monday morning you can't wake up
Still dreaming' of
What could've been
Something good has gone and left you
It's another tear
One won't deny
Come january I swear this world
Won't be the one
That we once lived on
Took an oath
Another promise sworn and broken
All that's gone
All that's gone before you've changed
Well monday morning you don't wake up
Still dreaming' of
What could've been
Something good has gone and left you
It's another tear
One more denial
Come january I swear this world
Won't be the one
That we once lived on
Took an oath
Another promise sworn and broken
All that's gone
All that's gone before
All that's gone before
Standing by myself on the sidewalk
Nothing in this world could make me talk
I'm nailed to this floor where there is no air
Alone I see myself and stare
Locked inside this world you gave me
It's lonely here through the smoke I can't see clear
And I know all the ways and I'll try
And I've seen all the places I get eyed
If I bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always seem so hard
Wait for the world to turn around
Then I won't go up or down
Gentle winds must sometimes sit
The face that looks on in my mirror
And I know all the ways and I can try
And I've seen all the places where I hide
If I bear myself out in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard
Standing on the edge of the wall
Sometimes I get too close and I fall, yeah
And I know all the ways and I can try
And I've seen all the places where I hide
If I bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard
Well all the nights last a thousand years
When you're in a time that feels so near
I'll just say you were the word I found
And then I won't go up or down
And I know all the ways and I can try
And I've seen all the places where I hide
If I bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard
Standing on the edge of the wall
Sometimes I look down and I fall, yeah
Just standing on the edge of the wall
Gone so long and feeling so let down
Seems as though I'm living underground
There's something about today, I can't explain
Walked on burning bridges so I said
I think I'll take another way instead
There's something about today, I can't explain
War from sea to oily sea
Waves have washed home their disease
All the miles couldn't make it change
I might know tomorrow, not today
Chased by shaded nightmares till I'm dead
Following most everywhere I tread
There's something about today, I can't explain
She senses the presence of the smallest motion
Wasted like a sad devotion
Turns her glance at where I stand
She knows that the time is this
A sweet invader that could never miss
She knows, she knows
Waves of doubt cascading clearly [ah, she knows]
They make believe that I'm no good [ah, she knows]
And her eyes won't find me here
She knows that the time is this
A sweet invader that could never miss
She knows, she knows
Don't hesitate, it's my fate
To freeze my mind, so messed up
See her eye in the sky
Burn one more into my mind
Today she's gone away
To leave me hung up in her wake
Yeah...
She senses the presence of the smallest notion
Wasted like a sad devotion
Turns to glance at where I stand
She knows the time is this
A sweet invader that could never miss
Moving slowly in the morning light
Waiting for you to come along
Understand it's time for a change
Now I know I've got nothing to say
Looking through me like there's no one there
Journey to the great nowhere
If you are seeing what you're believing it's nothing new
Don't say you're seeing what you're believing
I've been there too, yeah
Today you bring yourself around
Only walking in the shade
Say I should change before it's too late
Now I know I've got nothing to say
Looking through me like there's no one there
Send me to the great nowhere
If you are seeing what you're believing it's nothing new
Don't say you're seeing what you're believing
I've been there too, yeah
Moving slowly through the morning light
I waited for you to come along
Too bad that it's too late
You should know I've got nothing to say
I'll be alone and I don't care
Journey to the great nowhere
If you are seeing what you're believing it's nothing new
Don't say you're seeing what you're believing
Been a long time now we're face to face
The law tore me down and I'm going away
Every piece of it hurts and I know it, babe
I have become convinced there's no other way
Every piece of it hurts,
I hold you close here where I stand
I've tried for one last breath
I've been awake for days and nights
And I know what's true
Destiny is never free
But maybe fate's confusing me
Bring it closer
Show me who you are
Monotone chromium revelator
Hang my head in shame
Monotone chromium, I got a revelator
Take my cares away, every piece, it hurts
Now to the mirror for one last look
At what I burned away
And took the planet's
Every heart beat passing by
Life is bordered every side
I don't exist between the times
I said farewell
Friends, don't you know me?
Monotone chromium revelator
Hang my head in shame
Monotone chromium, I got a revelator
Take my cares away
I hold you close here where I stand
I've tried for one last breath
I've been awake for days and nights
And I know what's true
Destiny is never free
But maybe fate's confusing me
Bring it closer
Show me who you are
Monotone chromium revelator
Hang my head in shame
Monotone chromium, I got a revelator
Take my cares away, oh yeah
Monotone chromium revelator
Monotone chromium revelator
Monotone chromium, I got a revelator
Monotone chromium
Monotone chromium revelator
Monotone chromium revelator
I hold you close here where I stand
I've tried for one last breath
I've been awake for days and nights
Don't you look back and hate me
Or imagine how it could have been
I’d been exiled in the cold
You are all that I have left to hold
My former days unrepented
And every promise invented
It’s not easy to forgive
Always have what’s in my head
Reflection of a mind, reflection of a mind
Reflection of a life gone by, don’t you pass me by
Times I can’t tell what is real
Can’t say the things I can feel
But it’s so easy to believe
I’m inside you when I see
Reflection of a mind, reflection of a mind
Reflection of a life gone by, don’t you pass me by
Don't you look back and hate me
Or imagine how it could have been
I’d be banished from now on
Left to face this world alone
Reflection of a mind, reflection of a mind
Reflection of a life gone by, don’t you pass me by
Don’t you pass me by, don’t you pass me by, don’t you
[the Sonics] (Here Ain't The Sonics compilation)
Baby, you're drivin' me crazy
Baby, you're drivin' me crazy
The way you turn me on
And then you shut me down
Well, tell me baby
Am I just your clown?
Psycho...
Baby, you're drivin' me crazy
I bet I'm losin' my mind
You treat me so unkind
Psycho...
Baby, you're drivin' me crazy
I'm goin' out of my head
And now I wish I was dead
Psycho...
Baby, you're drivin' me crazy
I'm goin' out of my head
And now I wish I was dead
Psycho...
Oh psycho, yeah psycho
Well call the doctor quick baby
I think I'm going insane
I get the feeling that maybe
I'll be dying today
Pictures in my mind
Seem so hard to find
Just so glad that you found me
Lying here on the floor
Tried but I couldn't make it
All the way to the door
Pictures in my mind
Seem so hard to find
Woke up feeling real funny
Yes I'm feeling real strange
Went from light into the darkness
Guess it's time for a change
Pictures in my mind
Seem so hard to find
Waking up to tomorrow
hope a little help to clear my head
what did I do?
what did I try to leave behind?
Empty your pockets
tear out a page from a paperback bible
Mercy's rare
Is there anywhere that I could do
I would do much better than today
Find me outside in the cold
Would you take me in or let me go?
Empty your pockets
tear out a page from a paperback bible
Empty your pockets
tear out a page from a paperback bible
Mercy's rare to find.
..to find my peice of mind....
You try to think but you find your head full
Time slips into the hands of the wrong people
(I know you know)
Crashing, howling something's coming at you
(you know I know)
Turns to go when you don't want it to, yeah
She turns her head and never tells you who
I'm moving fast so I'm unveiling
The many ways that I am failing to see
(I can see you)
Feeling like two people I can't be
(you can see too)
So many things that got away from you, yeah
Turns to go when you don't want it to
Try to speak with so many voices
They cloud the space with so many noises
I know you know
Other different days on different planets, yeah
Turns to go when you don't want it to, yeah
The girl with silver eyes is calling you
On a day so long ago, now no one can remember
There's a change this too will pass and vanish in the haze
This is moving too far under the skin of your sight
Ocean of confusion took me back to the end of the night
Transparent dreams fade in my head
In my eyes, I'm looking back for one last time
Now day has broken
Shattered in the wind
Lies, still unspoken
Nothing left to send
Sliding by a picture handing, folded in your hand
Ride it out in the hopelessness now you'll understand
This is moving too far under the skin of your sight
Ocean of confusion took me back to the end of the night
Transparent dreams fade in my head
Don't turn away you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay? Remember what you said
Ten thousand miles and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been where every woman's wasted
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how when no one really knows
Don't speak a word of all that you've been saving
If there isn't time then you should let it go
Into the fire and bring back all you've taken
Once more alone you'll never let it show
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how when no one really knows
Now what've I done wrong?
Why don't you tell me what've I done wrong?
Baby tell me oh what I've done wrong?
I've to tell me, oh tell me, tell me what I've
Don't walk away you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay? Remember what you said
Ten thousand miles and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been where every woman's wasted
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how when no one really knows
Now what've I done wrong?
Can't you tell me what've I done wrong?
Baby tell me what've I done wrong?
Oh tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me now
Walk me out in the morning dew my honey
Walk me out in the morning dew today;
Can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey
Can't walk you out in the morning dew at all
Thought I heard a young girl cry mama,
I heard a young girl cry today
You didn't hear no young girl crying baby
You didn't hear no young girl cry out
Walk me out in the morning dew my honey
Walk me out in the morning dew today;
Can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey
Can't walk you out in the morning dew at all
Thought I heard a young man cry mama-
Thought I heard a young man cry today-
You didn't hear no young man crying baby
You didn't hear no young man cry at all
Now, there's no more morning dew
Now, there's no more morning dew
What they've been saying all these years is true
Now that we've run this road so many times
Tonight it will not take us home
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain
(Nothing left to hear)
One more or less it's all the same
Now that it's feeling so much colder
(Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Now that we've closed our eyes so many times
Tonight I cannot see a thing
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain
(Nothing left to hear)
And now you know just who to blame
For why you're feeling so much colder
(Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Is forever oh so long
Oh so many times been pushed aside
Is my answer all that wrong
I'm just asking to be left alone
And there's nothing left but hate, yeah
There is no one on my side
Were you listening I told you
It's never gonna be all right
Maybe you'll find
Maybe you'll find
Maybe you'll find
What's inside
And forever is too long
All the people that I've left behind
If you're wondering I'm gone
I'm just asking to be left alone
Maybe you'll find
Maybe you'll find
Maybe you'll find
What's inside
Maybe you'll find
Maybe you'll find
Maybe you'll find
Take a minute just to breathe
Take a minute 'till I'm wide awake
And I'm searching' once again
And the sun has left the sky
And you're on my mind
And you're on my mind
Take a second to believe
Just a second you won't have to wait
Don't ya turn your back on me
I couldn't look into your eyes
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
But I'll try again on another day
You make my mind
Just wanna leave this world behind
You make my mind (2x's)
Let the silence creep in
(let the silence creep in)
In the silence I'm awake all night
Just searching' once again
(searching' once again)
Well could I reach you in the morning light
If I closed my eyes
If I closed my eyes
Well you're here right away
You make my mind...(2x's)
You're on my mind
I'll try again on another day
And I don't know why (2x's)
If I close my eyes (2x's)
Well you're here right away
Is that the stars in the sky, or is it
Rain fallin' down
Will it burn me if I touch the sun
So big, so round
Would I be truthful, yeah, in,
Choosing' you as the one for me?
Is this love baby,
Or is it just confusion?
My mind is so messed up
Goin' round and round
Must there be all the colours
Without names, without sound, baby?
My heart burns with feeling, but,
My mind, it's cold and reeling
Is this love baby,
Or is it confusion?
My head is poundin', poundin'
Goin' 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
Must there always be these colours?
Without names, without sounds
My heart burns with feeling, but,
My mind, it's cold and reeling
Is this love baby,
Or is it just confusion?
You tell me baby, is this
Love or confusion?
Mama, we must get together and find out
Exactly what we're tryin' to do
Love or confusion?
