Pearl Jam is an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1990. Since its inception, the band's line-up has included Eddie Vedder (vocals), Stone Gossard (guitar), Jeff Ament (bass), and Mike McCready (guitar). The band's current drummer is Matt Cameron, also of Soundgarden, who has been with the band since 1998.
Formed after the demise of Gossard and Ament's previous band, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album, Ten. One of the key bands of the grunge movement in the early 1990s, Pearl Jam was criticized early on as being a corporate cash-in on the alternative rock explosion; however, Gossard and Ament had been members of seminal grunge band Green River. Over the course of the band's career, its members became noted for their refusal to adhere to traditional music industry practices, including refusing to make music videos and engaging in a much-publicised boycott of Ticketmaster. In 2006, Rolling Stone described the band as having "spent much of the past decade deliberately tearing apart their own fame."
the sirens scream wanton attention
time to take heed and change direction
time to take stock and make omissions
evacuation
evacuation
time to take leave of formal functions
time to plant seeds of reconstruction
more time, this time, to feign reluctance
it's like you're waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way
bets put aside, you're evil
let's crawl into your face
a vision, vague or not, raising a frightful wake-you-up
time for...

there was a solemn man who watched his twilight disappear
(in the sand)
altered by a fallen eagle, a warning sign..

he sensed worry could be strength, with a plan he said time for...

Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna do
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
go your own way
(Instrumental solo)
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
(Instrumental solo)
You can go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way
You can call it... (fade out)

Lay down your arms and surrender to me.
Oh lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Yea.

i miss you already... i miss you all day
this is how i feel...
i miss you already... i miss you always
sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette
thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic
what's missing? he's living a day he'll soon forget
that's one more time around, the sun is going down
the moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting, putting people down
he's pissing, he's living a day he'll soon forget
counts his money every morning
the only thing that keeps him horny
locked in a giant house, that's alarming
the townsfolk, they all laugh
sorry is the fool who trades his love for high-rise rent
seems the more you make, equals the loneliness you get
and it's fitting, he's barely living, a day he'll soon forget
that's one more time around, there is not a sound
he's lying dead clutching benjamins, never put the money down
he's stiffening, we're all whistling
large fingers pushing paint
you're god and you've got big hands
the colors blend... the challenges you give man
seek my part... devote myself
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
sometimes i know, sometimes i rise
sometimes i fall, sometimes i don't
sometimes i cringe, sometimes i live
sometimes i walk, sometimes i kneel
sometimes i speak of nothing at all
Oh ...
State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Sin still plays and preaches, but to have an empty
court, uh huh
And the signs are passin, grip the wheel, cant read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell thats on my hands ...
hands, yeah
And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin, Ill do this one myself
Lay her down as priest does, should the lord be a
countin
Will be in my honour, make it pain, painfully quick, uh
Promises are whispered in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end
... end, yeah
And the barrel shakes and, a-directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen, from both sides of a friend
Nothin, Ill do this one myself
Myself ... myself
Yeah, yeah ...
Hey, na-na-na-na, hey thats something
Hey, na-na-na-na, hey thats something
Hey, na-na-na-na, hey thats something
Wanna back, back it away, yeah
And I listen, oh, for the voice inside my head
Nothin, Ill do this one myself
Oh, ah, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes
Aimed right at my head, wont you help me
Help me from myself
Hmm ... state of love and trust, and a ...
State of love and trust, and a ...
State of love and trust, and a ...

You should be happy with what you got...
You should be hard to be a brother...
You should be happy with what we give you...
Hand over my face. I am related to my enemy.
My house on fire,
And my big brother come put the blame on me.
He's a-pushin'...I'm being pushed from above.
Oh, and a brother, back to back to back,
Better back off of him.
You should not questioh at all his authority...
Use a flag as a bandage.
Stick 'em up, show us your pocket hypocrisy.
In the closet, my pleasures
'Cause my big brother don't want to just let me be.
Oh, and I'm pushin'...oh if I could get above...
Oh, and a brother back to back back,
Keep your back off.
Oh, and I'm pushin'...I'm being pushed from above.
Oh, and a brother, back to back to back,
Better back off of him...
Face down...brother...
Face down... [3X]
In my mind there's a clearing.
Black clouds flow through grey still skies.
And the birds don't even whisper.
I'm flying out...I'm flying...
Back to back back, better back off...
Back to back to back, a better, better, better...
Back to back to back, back to back back...brother...
Face down...brother...
Face down...
Face down...brother...
Face down...almost...fired...
Face down...I got a gun...
Face down...
I got a gun...I got a gun...
Face down...I got a gun...
Face down...
Aah, fuck it, I'm just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin' TV...
Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
It's five below in evidence.
The winded eves and sideways snow.
His eminence has yet to show.
Follow the ageless tide.
Follow the angled light.
Follow the strangest tribe.
I... I... I...
It's 6:00 AM. You're waiting for...
You've had your feast. You're wanting more.
Follow the wayward mile.
Follow the distant high.
Follow the strangest tribe.
I... I... I...
Follow the ancient stripe.
Follow the angels try.
Follow the strangest tribe.
How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable.
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party.
Like sugar, the guests are so refined, (look like melting mice)
A confidence man, but why so beleaguered?
He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer
Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike
Drilling for fear, makes the job simple
Born on third, thinks he got a triple
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way,...
I remember when you sang
That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
Everything has changed
A think tank of aloof multiplication
A nicotine wish and a columbus decanter
Retrenchment and hoggishness
The aristocrat choir sings
"What's the ruckus?"
The haves have not a clue
The immenseness of suffering
And the odd negotiation, a rarity
With onionskin plausibility of life,
And a keyboard reaffirmation
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way,...
I remember when you sang
That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
I wanna shake
I wanna wind out
I wanna leave
This mind and shout
I've lived
All this life
Like an ocean
In disguise
I don't live for
Ever
You can't keep
Me here
I wanna race
With the sundown
I want a last breath
Forgive
Every being
The bad feelings
It's just me
I won't wait
For answers
You can't keep
Me here
I wanna rise
And say goodnight
Wanna take
A look on the other side
I've lived
All those lives
It's been wonder
Full at night
I will live for
Ever
You can't keep
Consider me an object. Put me in a vacuum.
Free of all conditions. Free of air and friction.
Yeh, I'll be hanging upside down. And there I will swing, for all eternity.
Feel it rising,... Yeh next stop falling
Feel it rising,... comatose, with no fear of falling.
Consider me an abcess. Leave me in a vacuum.
Blood on all the pistons. Running my transmission.
Feel it rising,... Yeh next stop falling
Feel it rising,... comatose, with no fear of falling.
High above,...I'll break the law,...if it's illegal to be in love,... leave the hatred,.. on the cross.
Yeh, I'll be hanging upside down, and there I will swing.
For all eternity.
Feel it rising,... Yeh next stop falling
Feel it rising,... comatose, with no fear of falling.
Feel it rising,... Yeh next stop falling
Feel it rising.
If I keep holding out
Will the light shine through
Under this broken roof
Its only rain that I feel
Ive been wishing out the days
Ohh ohh oh come back
I have been planning out
All that I'd say to you
Since you slipped away
Know that I still remain true
Ive been wishing out the days
Please say that if you hadnt gone now
I wouldnt have lost you another way
From wherever you are
Ohhhh ohh ohh oh oh come back
And these days they linger on
And in the night ive been waiting for
The real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
I go to sleep
If i dont fall apart, Will my memory stay clear
So you had to go, And I had to remain here
But the strangest thing today
So far away and yet you feel so close
And Im not gonna question any other way
There must be an open door
For you uhh uhh uhh.... To come back
And the days they linger on
And every night when Im waiting for
The real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
Sometimes you're there and you're talking back to me
Come the morning I can swear that you're next to me
And its okayyyyyy
Its ok...its ok
(gorgeous McCready solo)
( Eddie Whaling)
Ohhh i need you....come back, come back
Ahhhhh I need you come back, come back
Ohhhh I need you come back, come back
Whoooo whooo whooo whoo
Whoooo whooo whooo whoo
Whoooo whooo whooo whoo
The waiting drove me mad
You’re finally here and I’m a mess
I take your entrance back
Cant let you roam inside my head
I don’t want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run but I cant walk
Guess I’ll lay alone just like before
I take the poor man's path I must refuse your test
push me and I will resist
This behaviour’s not unique
I don’t want to hear from those who know
They can buy but can’t put on my clothes
I don’t want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before
I don’t want to be held In your debt
I’ll pay it of in blood let, I be wed
I’m already cut up an half dead
I'll end up alone like I began
Everything has chains absolutely nothing’s changed
Take my hand not my picture spill my tincture
I don’t want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your breast
All the things that others want for me
Cant buy what I want because its free
Cant buy what I want because its free
Cant be what you want because I’m…
I aint supposed to be just fun
To live and die let it be done
I figure I’ll be dammed
She lived on a curve in the road
An old tar paper shack
On the south side of the town
On the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town
We'd say, "Mother can we stop and give her a ride?"
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed crazy Mary
Down a long dirt road
Past the Parson's place
The old blue car
We used to race
Our little country store with a sign tacked to the side
Said, "No L O I T E R I N G allowed"
Underneath that sign congregated quite a crowd
Take a bottle drink it down
Pass it around
Take a bottle drink it down
Pass it around
Pass it a
Take a bottle drink it down
Pass it a, pass it a, pass it around
One night a thunder cracked
Mercy backed outside her windowsill
I dreamed I was flying
High above the trees, over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary
A bare bulb's on
Newspaper covered walls
And Mary rising up above it all
Next morning on the way into town
We saw some skidmarks and followed them around
Over the curve, through the fields into the house of Mary
That what you fear the most
Could meet you halfway
That what you fear the most
Could meet you halfway
Take a bottle drink it down
Pass it around
Take a bottle drink it down
Pass it around, pass it a
Take a bottle drink it down
Pass it a, pass it a, pass it around, around
Pass it a, pass it a, pass it around, 'round, 'round
routine was the theme, he'd wake up and...wash and pour himself into uniform
something he hadn't imagined being...
as the merging traffic passed, he found himself staring, down, at his own hands..
not remembering the change, not recalling the plan, was it...?
he was okay, but wondering about wandering
was it age? by consequence? or was he moved by sleight of hand?
mondays were made to fall, lost on a road he knew by heart
it was like a book he read in his sleep, endlessly...
sometimes he hid in his radio, watching others pull into their homes
while he was drifting...
on a line, of his own, off the line, on the side
by the by, as dirt turned to sand, as if moved by sleight of hand
when he reached the shore of his clip-on world
he resurfaced to the norm
organized his few things, his coat and keys...
any new realizations would have to wait til he had more time, more time...
time to dream, to himself
he waves goodbye, to himself
i'll see you on the other side...
Big man standing behind an open door
Said, "leave your lady on the cement floor."
"Got some kicks, wanna take ride?"
I said, "Yeh,..."
"Take your pick, leave yourself behind."
I said "Yeh,..."
I've no fear but for falling down
so look out below, I am falling now
Oh please understand, I just need my friend
a way home.
Tried to walk, found a severed hand,
recognized it by the wedding band.
"It's okay, do you want some more?"
I said, "Yeh,..."
"You'll see dragons after 3 or 4..."
I said, "Yeh,..."
"Understand, I'm not falling down"
I said, "Look around, the room's taller now,..."
I can't close my eyes, cause I see the sound
in waves.
In waves, lets me stay calm.
If I don't lose control
explore and not explode
a preternatural other plane
with the power to maintain.
Like a tear in all we know
once dissolved, we are free to grow
"What is human?,... What is more?"
I'll answer this
Now and then I remember when,
Us Adults were little Kids,
And our only worry was,
What we get from Santa Claus,
When Santa Claus was God,
When Santa Claus was God,
When Santa was... Santa Claus was...
When Santa Claus was God
Now we're grown and so complex,
In a world that can't relax,
Even though he was a lie,
We all were satisfied,
When Santa Claus was God,
When Santa Claus was God,
When Santa was... When Santa Claus was...
When Santa Claus was God
How I learned from right and wrong,
Had to be good for Santa Claus,
He made me, stop misbehaving,
And once a year if I did my job,
I'd be given my favorite toys,
So simple, the principles,
When Santa was... When Santa Claus was...
Santa Claus was God
Sleep tight all/oh little ones (x4)
Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea
Swim so wild and you swim so free
Heaven above and the sea below
And a little white whale on the go
Baby Beluga, baby Beluga, is the water warm?
Is your mama home with you so happy?
Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea
Swim so wild and you swim so free
Heaven above and the sea below
And a little white whale on the go
You're just a little white whale on the go
Baby Beluga, baby Beluga, is the water warm?
Is your mama home with you so happy?
The facts we hate, we'll never meet
Walkin' down the road, everybody yellin' hurry up,
hurry up
But I'm waiting for you, I must go slow
I must not think bad thoughts
What is this world coming to?
Both sides are right, but both sides murder
I give up -- why can't they?
I must not think bad thoughts...
The civil wars -- and the uncivilized wars
Conflagrations leap out of every poor furnace
The food cooks poorly and everyone goes hungry
>From then on it's dog eat dog, dog eat body, body
eat dog
I can't go down there, I can't understand it
I'm a no-good coward, an American too
A North American, that is, and I must not think bad
thoughts
I'm guilty of murder of innocent men
Innocent woman and innocent children
Thousands of 'em
My planes, my guns, my money, my soldiers
My blood on my hands -- it's all my fault
I must not think bad thoughts...
The facts we hate, you'll never hear us
I hear the radio's finally gonna play "new
music"
You know, the "British Invasion"
But what about the Minutemen, Flesheaters, D.O.A.,
Big Boys and the Black Flag
We're the last American band to get played on the radio
Please bring the Flag, please bring the Flag
Glitter-disco-synthesizer-night-school
All this noble savage drum drum drum
Astronauts go back in time to hang out with the ape
people
It's about time, it's about space
It's about some people in a strange place
Woody Guthrie sang about B-E-E-T-S not B-E-A-T-S
I must not think bad thoughts...
Look me in the eye just this one time mister

can't feel the heat
of something fresh coming
can somebody hide me
i cannot apolo...
i cannot apolo...
i cannot apologize
Please, mother mercy
Take me from this place
And the long winded curses
I hear in my head
The words never listen
And teachers, all that never learn
Now warmth from the candle
But I feel too cold to burn
He came from an island
Then he died from the street
And he hurt so bad like a soul breaking
But he never said nothing to me, yeah
So say, "Hello to heaven, heaven, heaven"
Say, "Hello to heaven, heaven, heaven, yeah"
New like a baby, lost like a prayer
The sky was your playground
But the cold ground was your bed
Oh, so, poor stargazer
She's got no tears in her eyes
But smooth like a whisper
She knows that love heals all wounds with time
Now it seems like too much love
Is never enough, yeah, you better seek out
Another road 'cause this one has ended abrupt, oh
Say, "Hello to heaven, heaven, heaven"
Say, "Hello to heaven, heaven, heaven"
Say, "Hello to heaven, heaven, heaven"
I, I never wanted
To write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases
Of things we'll never do
Hey, so I blow out, out the candle and I put you to bed
Since you can't say to me now
How the dog broke your bone
There's just one thing left to be said
Say, "Hello to heaven, to heaven, yeah"
Say, "Hello to heaven, to heaven, yeah"
Say, "Hello to heaven, to heaven, yeah"
Say, "Hello to heaven, to heaven, yeah"
it's not all been said...been said and done...
i've never slept in satan's bed
although i must admit...still visits my place
uninvited, as you know, he don't wait
funny how he always seems to fit in
funny how i always want to give in
sundays, fridays, tuesdays, thursday, the same
sometimes the special guest, he don't like to leave
already...in love...
already...in love...
already...in love...
already...
who made, who made up, made up the myth
that we were born to be covered in bliss?
who set the standard, born to be rich?
such fine examples, skinny little bitch
model, role model, roll some models in blood
get some flesh to stick, so they look like us
i shit and i stink, i'm real, join the club
i'd stop and talk, but i'm already in love
already...in love...
already...in love...
already...in love...

oh, oh my butt...
never shook satan's hand, look see for yourself
you'd know it if i had, that shit don't come off
i'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both
jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
i'll never suck satan's dick...
again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips
i'll wait for an angel, but i won't hold my breath
'magine they're busy, think i'm doing okay...
already...in love...
already...in love...
already...in love...
already...
Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two foot small
Everywhere people stare
each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
How can I even try?
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
"Love will find a way?"
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Well, I don't mind stealin' bread
From the mouths of decadence -
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already over-filled....
Yeah...
But it's on the table, the fire's cookin';
And the farmin' babies of the slaves are workin'.
Blood is on the table and the mouths are chokin'...
But I'm goin' hungry.
I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence;
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already over-filled....mmmhmm....
But it's on the table, the fire's cookin';
And the farmin' babies of the slaves are a'workin'.
And it's on the table, the mouths are chokin'...
But I'm goin' hungry.
I'm goin' hungry, yeah...(4X)
I'm goin' hungry, yeah...(2X)
Yeah, I don't mind stealin' bread...ooooooo......
I don't mind...
I don't mind stealin' bread...yeah.....
I'm goin' hungry, yeah....(2X)
Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
Wounded is the organ he left all...bloodied on the shore...
Gorgeous was his savior, sees her...drowning in his wake...
Daily taste the salt of her tears, but...a chance blamed fate...
Little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
Ransom paid the Devil...He whispers pleasing words...
Triumphant are the angels if they can...a get there first...
Little secrets tremors...turned to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
I'll decide...take the dive...
Take my time...not my life...
Wait for signs...believe in lies...
To get by...it's divine...whoa...
Oh, you know what it's like...
Turns the bow back towards him...drops the line...
Puts his faith and love in Tremor Christ...
I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see
I'll never be your beast of burden
So let's go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Come on baby make sweet love to me
Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see
Oh little sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Come on baby please, please, please
I'll tell you you can put me out on the street
Put me out with no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery
Yeah, all your sickness I can suck it up
Throw it all at me I can shrug it off
There's one thing baby that I don't understand
You keep on telling me I ain't your kind of man
Ain't I rough enough, oh honey
Ain't I tough enough
Ain't I rich enough in love enough
Oh please
I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be
I'll never be your beast of burden
(distant scream)
there's a girl on a ledge, who's got nowhere to turn
because all the love that she had was just wood that she burned
now her life is on fire, it's no one's concern
she can blame the world...or pray til dawn
but only love...can breakerfall
breakerfall
yeah only love can breakerfall... fall
it's like she's lost the invitation to the party on earth
and she's standing outside hating everyone here
yeah she's her own disease, crying to her doll
but only love...can breakerfall
breakerfall
only love can breakerfall
yeah...
fall, breakerfall, love oh oh..
can breakerfall
ooh yeah only love can breakerfall...

What used to be a house of cards
Has turned into a reservoir
Saved the tears that were waterfalling
Let’s go swim tonight, darling
& Once outside the undertow
Just you & me & nothing more
If not for love I would be drowning
I’ve seen it work both ways, but I am up
Riding high amongst the waves
I can feel Like I
Have a soul that has been saved
I can feel like I
Put away my early grave
Gotta say it now
Better loud
Than too late
Remember back the early days
When you were young & thus amazed
Suddenly the channel changed
The first time you saw blood
Cut to later, now you’re strong
You’ve bled yourself, the wounds are gone
It’s rare then where is nothing wrong
Survived & you’re amongst the fittest
Love ain’t love until you give it up
Riding high amongst the waves
I can feel like I
Have a soul that has been saved
I can see the light
Coming through the clouds in rays
Gotta say it now
Better loud
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
No, no, no, no
Don't cry, don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland
Sally, take my hand
We'll travel south, 'cross land
Put out the fire
And don't look past my shoulder
The Exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older
Teenage wasteland
Only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Who's got the brain of JFK?

And by name
The name they gave me
The name I'm letting go
The whole world will be different soon

Oh, tonight began with anything.
Shaft of a light. A warm breath and a scream.
Ah, yeah.
Oh, tamper if you like between the doors.
Oh yeah. Huh. Huh.
Oh, can't expect to go out, to go out with anything, anything more.
Oh reach the door. A breath and a...

Oh yeah. Huh. huh. Huh huh, yeah.
Run away my son. See it all. Oh see the world.
Oh reach the door. A breath and a...

A breath and a... Oh reach the door.
Come. Here it comes. There it goes. When it comes.
Where it goes. Where it comes.
Can't see through the faith. Woah.
Ooh. Come. Here it comes. There it goes.
Grasp what you can.
Don't you know there's something inside your head, yeah.
Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there but there's much more
than this.
Ooh. Whoa, much more than this. Woh see the world. Much more than...
there's a girl on a ledge, who's got nowhere to turn

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black, tattooed everything
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
And twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black, tattooed everything
All the love gone bad, turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
Don't feel like home
Ease a little out
And all these words alone is nothing like your poem
Putting in and putting in
Don't feel like methadone
A scratching voice all alone is nothing like your baritone
It's nothing as it seems
The little that he needs
It's home
The little that he sees
Is nothing he concedes
It's home
One uninvited chromosome
A blanket like the ozone
It's nothing as it seems
All that he needs
It's home
The little that he frees is nothing he believes
Saving up a sunny day
Something maybe two tone
Anything of his own
A chip off the corner stone
Who's kidding?
Rainy day
A one way ticket headstone
Occupations overthrown
Whisper through a megaphone
It's nothing as it seems
The little that he needs
It's home
The little that he sees is nothing he conceives
It's home
And all that he frees
A little bittersweet
It's home
It's nothing as it seems
The little that you see it's home
spin me round, roll me over, fuckin' circus
stab it down, one way needle, pulled so slowly
drains and spills, soaks the pages, fills their sponges
it's my blood
it's my blood
paint ed big...turn ed into...one of his enemies...
it's my blood
it's my blood
it's my blood
stab it down, fill the pages, suck my life out
maker of my enemies...
take...my...
Exponentially serving. Perpetually unnerving. Vehicle swerving.
The adjectives they are all a-blurring.
Freud walking the sidelines clipboard scoring the brain.
Black magic painted traits. Makes me sain.
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah.
Please don't make me explain. Don't matter anyway.
Phontom pain in my brain. It's all that's left of my leg.
Black and Red and Yellow and Black and Red and Yellow.
Heard you repeat a-what ya heard. Me knowing the truth I can not concure. Na-na.
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah.
Please don't make me explain. Doesn't matter anyway.
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah.
Please don't make me explain.
Yo bro. Tell us what's happenin'. Um, I'm on the west, west side of, on the west coast.
Give me a jingle, uh, when you get in from where the fuck you're at.
Yeah, hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah.
Please don't make me explain. Doesn't fucking matter anyway.
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
I used to be crustacean
In an underwater nation
And I surf in celebration
Of a billion adaptations
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
I feel the need
Planted in me
Millions of years ago
Can't you see
The oceans size?
Defining time
And time
Arising
Arms laid upon me
Being so kind
To let me ride
I scream in affirmation
Of connecting dislocations
And exceeding limitations
By achieving levitation
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
I feel the need
Planted in me
Millions of years ago
Can't you see
The oceans size?
Defining time
And time
Arising
Arms laid upon me
Being so kind
To let me ride
Got me a ride.
Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Ohh...
Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
She loved him, yeah... she don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah... that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
We just want you to know we can see through your masks
You that never done nothing
But build and destroy
You play with our world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my head
And then you hide from my eyes
Then you turn and run following the fast foolish line
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You won't need to believe
But I see through your eye
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain
You that fasten all the trigger
For the others to fire
And you sit back and watch
While the death toll gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That could ever be hurled
The fear to bring children
Into this world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood that runs through your veins
How much do we know
To talk out of turn?
You might say that we're young
You might say we're unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it would?
Oh, I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll stand on your [Incomprehensible]
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Into your deathbed
I will come to you in the daytime
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go runnin' down your street
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh, and make you cry
And we may never forget it
As I make you call my name as you shout it to the blue, summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
And you will throw your arms around me
I will come to you at nightime
I will climb into your bed
I will kiss you in 195 places
As I go swim around in your head
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh, I'll make you cry
And we may never forget it
As I make you call my name as you shout it to the blue, summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
And you will throw your arms around me
Ohh yeah, uh huh, uh huh...
Ohh yeah, uh hum, ooh...
Ohh yeah, uh huh, uh huh...
Oh...and you will throw your arms around me...
The sun was in clouds. The sun looked out. Exposed a trail of mist and spouts.
Ships followed the ancient lead. Deceiving friends under the sea.
Wow, imagine that? They won't fight back. I got a theory on that.
A whale's heart is as big as a car. A whaler's thought must be smudged by the dark.
They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Beings that love are too proud.
They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Beings that love are too proud.
They swim. It's really free. It's a beautiful thing to see. They sing.
Hunters of land. Hunters of sea. Exploit anything for money.
I refer to anybody that takes advantage of what that is free.
They won't fight back.
It's only a thought that makes it seem right. What you don't see is because of your sight.
Take what you want. Kill what you can. That's just one way of the mind of man.
Take their lives. Sell their parts but there is no taking of their hearts.
If I was lost at sea. That harpoon boat in front of me. It's the whale I'd like to be.
They won't fight back. (x5)
They don't know how.
They won't fight back. (x3)

Oh please let it rain today.
This city is so filthy, like my mind in ways.
Oh, there was a time, like a clean, new taste...
Smiling eyes before me, inches from my face.
Wash my love.
Wash my love.
Wash my love.
Sin to sell, buying just a need.
Just who planted all the devils seeds?
And what the truth, the truth that lies at home...
It's on the inside, and I can't get it off.
Wash my love.
Wash my love.
Wash my love.
What's clean is pure, but hey,
I'm white on the outside, though I stray...
What she don't know today might kill us both tomorrow.
Bring it back someway...bring it back, bring it back...
Back to the clean form, to the pure form.

Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, "I wanna leave it again"
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave her again
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah
And they called and I said that I'll go
And I said that I'll call out again
And the reason I ought ta leave her calm, I know
I said, "I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag"
Oh yeah, can you see them, out on the porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them 'round the front way, yeah
And I know, and I know I don't wanna stay
Make me cry
I see oh, I don't know why there's something else
I want to, wanna drum it all away
I said, "I don't, I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag"
Oh yeah, can you see them, out the on porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them 'round the front way
And I know, and I know I don't want to stay at all
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't, I don't want to stay
He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying
Whole
High.. wide, oh
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He's flying
Oh, oh
Yes, I understand that every life must end, aw-huh,..
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw-huh,..
Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands
the ones I love,..
Some folks just have one,
yeah, others, they've got none, huh-uh
Stay with me,..
Let's just breathe.
Practiced are my sins,
never gonna let me win, aw-huh,..
Under everything, just another human being, aw-huh,..
Yeh, I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
to make me bleed.
Stay with me,..
You're all I see.
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.
I wonder everyday
as I look upon your face, aw-huh,..
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh,..
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave...
Did I say that I need you?
Oh, did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean, ah-ah...
I wonder everyday
as I look upon your face, aw-huh,..
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh,..
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave...
Hold me till I die,..
Meet you on the other side.

there's a light when my baby's in my arms
there's a light when the window shades are drawn
hesitate when i feel i may do harm to her
wash it off cuz this feeling we can share
and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
byzantine is reflected in our pond
there's a cloud but the water remains calm
reaching in, the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass
even out, it's a precious thing to bear
and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
yes i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
it's not in my past to presume
love can keep on moving in both directions
how to be happy and true is the quest we're taking on together
taking on, on, on, on, on...taking on, on, on, on, on...
there's a light when my baby's in my arms
and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
i have not been home since you left long ago
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
counting steps, walking backwards on the road
i'm counting my way back to heaven
i can't be free with what's locked inside of me
if there was a key, you took it in your hand
there's no wrong or right, but i'm sure there's good and bad
the questions linger overhead
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
i wish that i could hold you
i wish that i had
thinking 'bout heaven
i let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
and in time i've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
i can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
choosing the shiny ones instead
i turned my back, now there's no turning back
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i smile, but who am i kidding?
i'm just walking the miles, every once in a while i'll get a ride
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
thumbing my way back to heaven
And the rivers shall open for the righteous...
And the rivers shall open for the righteous...
And the rivers shall open for the righteous someday...
I was walking with my brother,
And he wondered, oh how I am.
Said what I believe in my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes,
And there's no turning back this time.
I am a patriot, and I love my country,
Because my country is all I know.
Wanna be with my family,
People who understand me.
I got no place else to go.
I was walking with my girlfriend.
She looked so fine, I said
"Baby, what's on your mind?"
Said I want to run like the lions
Released from their cages...
Released from the rages
Burning in my soul tonight.
I am a patriot, and I love my country,
Because my country is all I know.
And I ain't no communist,
And I ain't no socialist,
And I ain't no capitalist,
And I ain't no imperialist,
And I ain't no democrat,
Sure ain't no republican either,
I only know one party,
And that is freedom.
I am...I am...I am...
I am a patriot, and I love my country,
Because my country is all I know.
And the rivers shall open for the righteous,
And the rivers shall open for the righteous,
And the rivers shall open for the righteous someday...
Someday...someday...
There is a marker,... no one sees it 'cause the sand
Has covered over,... all the messages it kept
Misunderstanding,... what original truth was
And out expanding,... in a faith but not in love
What went wrong?
Walking tightrope high,... over moral ground
Seeing visions of,........ falling up somehow
Do come down
With the living, let,... what is living love
So unforgiving, yet,...... needing forgiveness first
God, what do you say?
Those undecided,.... Needn't have faith to be free
And those misguided, there was a plan for them to be
Now you got both sides claiming killing in Gods name
But God is nowhere,.. to be found conveniently
What goes on?
Walking tightrope high,... over moral ground
Walk the bridges,......... before you burn them down
Do come round
With the living, let,... what is living love
So unforgiving, yet,...... needing forgiveness first
God, what do you say? What do you say?
There is a sickness,... a sickness coming over me
Like watching freedom,. Being sucked straight out to sea
An the solution?...... Well, from me far would it be
But the delusion,..... Is feeling dangerous to me
What goes wrong?
Walking tightrope high,... over moral ground
Seeing visions of,........ falling up somehow
Do come down
With the living, let,... what is living love
So unforgiving, yet,...... needing forgiveness first
What do you say,.......... God, what do you say?
Calling out,....... Calling out.
Thought it was easy to fall in love but you, you, you.
You're different this much I know yeah, you, you, you.
It might be your guile. It could be your mind.
It might be the way you take your time.
Oh, you, you, you.
You, it's you. It's you, you, you.
Oh, you. It's you. It's you, you, you.
I never know how much to say with you, you, you.
I like to go deep but is it safe with you, you, you.
It might be your needs. It could be your eyes.
It might be the way you sympathize.
Oh, you, you, you.
You. It's you. It's you, you, you.
Oh, you. It's you. It's you you you
You break laws and pay no fines. You get yours and then get mine.
I don't think it's easy to stay in love.
But you, you, you, you.
But you, yes you. It's you, you, you.
You. it's you. it's you, you, you.
Ah you
It's you.
Ah you, you, you, yes you.
With you, you, you, you ah.
Last stop on the westcoast line
South of the northern border
One small corner on my mind
Everybody, they know me there
Don't get any second glances
Chances are that they don't care
The world has come undone
Like to change it everyday
Change don't come at once
It's a wave building before it breaks
Can't wait for election day
Witness the occupation
Corporations rule the day
Well you know the pendulum throws
Farther out to the one side, swinging
Has to sweep back the other way
The world has come undone
Another day and who can wait
Change don't come at once
It's a wave building before it breaks
All this hope and nowhere to go
This is how i used to feel, but no more
The world has come undone
Like a game that few can play
Change don't come from one
P r i v a c y is priceless to me (4x)
P r i v a c y (4x)
winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
wounded is the organ he left all...bloodied on the shore...
gorgeous was his savior, sees her...drowning in his wake...
daily taste the salt of her tears, but...a chance blamed fate...
little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...
the smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
ransom paid the devil...he whispers pleasing words...
triumphant are the angels if they can...a get there first...
little secrets tremors...turned to quake...
the smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
i'll decide...take the dive...
take my time...not my life...
wait for signs...believe in lies...
to get by...it's divine...whoa...
oh, you know what it's like...
turns the bow back, tows and...drops the line...
once divided...nothing left to subtract...
some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...
she once believed...in every story he had to tell...
one day she stiffened...took the other side...
empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...
one just escapes...one's left inside the well...
and he who forgets...will be destined to remember...
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...
oh, she don't want him...
oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...
oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...
burn...burn...
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...
nothingman...
coulda' been something...
nothingman...
don't feel like home, he's a little out...
and all these words elope, it's nothing like your poem
putting in, inputting in, don't feel like methadone
a scratching voice all alone, there's nothing like your baritone
it's nothing as it seems, the little that he needs, it's home
the little that he sees, is nothing he concedes, it's home
one uninvited chromosome, a blanket like the ozone
it's nothing as it seems, all that he needs, it's home
the little that he frees, is nothing he believes
saving up a sunny day, something maybe two tone
anything of his own, a chip off the cornerstone
who's kidding, rainy day
a one way ticket headstone
occupations overthrown, a whisper through a megaphone
it's nothing as it seems, the little that he needs, it's home
the little that he sees, is nothing he concedes, it's home
and all that he frees, a little bittersweet, it's home
Hold on to the thread the currents will shift
Glide me towards you know somethings left
And we're all allowed to dream of the next
Oh, oh the next time we touch
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You don't have to stray tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts hold tight the ring
The sea will rise please stand by the shore
Oh, oh, oh, I will be, I will be there once more
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
hold on to the thread
the currents will shift
guide me towards you
know something's left
and we're all allowed to dream
of the next time we touch..........
you don't have to stray
two oceans away
waves roll in my thoughts
hold tight the ring...
the sea will rise...
please stand by the shore...
i will be...
i will be...
there once more.........
Sliding out of reverse into drive, this…
Wheel will be turning right, then straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride
She can remember a time denied, stood by…
Side of the road, spilled like wine, now…
She's out on her own and line high
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
She's disappeared
They said timing was everything, made him…
Want to be everywhere, there's a…
Lot to be said for nowhere
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
We've disappeared
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
Fuck it, we'll disappear
Sliding out of reverse into drive, this
We will be turning right, then straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride
She can remember a time denied
Stood by the side of the road, spilled like wine now
She's out on her own and I'm high
There's no leaving here
Ask- I'm an ear
She's disappeared
They said that timing was everything
Made him want to be everywhere
There's a lot to be said for nowhere
There's no leaving here
Ask- I'm an ear
He's disappeared
There's no leaving here
Ask- I'm an ear
Fuck it- we've disappeared
restless soul, enjoy your youth
like muhammad hits the truth
can't escape from the common rule
if you hate something, don't you do it too...too...
small my table, a sits just two
got so crowded, i can't make room
oh, where did they come from? stormed my room!
and you dare say it belongs to you...to you...
this is not for you
this is not for you
this is not for you
oh, not for you...ah, you...
...scream...my friends...don't call me...
...friends, no they don't scream...
...my friends don't call...my friends don't...
all that's sacred comes from youth
dedication, naive and true
with no power, nothing to do
i still remember, why don't you...don't you...
this is not for you
this is not for you
this is not for you
oh, never was for you...fuck you...
this is not for you...
oh, this is not for you...yeah, you...
this is not for you...
oh, not for you...
Here's a token of my openness
Of my need to not disappear
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me
I found my mind too clear
I just need someone to be there for.. me
I just want someone to be there for.. me
All the static in my attic-a
Shoots down my sciatic nerve
To the ocean of my platitudes
Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
I just need someone to be there for..
I just want someone to be there for..
Someone to be there for..
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
Ooh, let's call in an angel
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
No way, no way
Let's call in an angel
have a drink they're buying
bottom of, bottle of denial
big guy, big eye, watchin me
have to wonder what it sees
(sin...)
progress laced with ramifications
freedom's big plunge
pull the innocent from a crowd
raise the sticks then bring em down
if they fail to obey
oh if they fail to obey
for every tool they lend us
a loss of independence
i pledge my grievance to the flag
cause you don't give blood then take it back again
oh we're all deserving something more
progress, taste it, invest-it-all
champagne breakfast for everyone
break the innocent when they're proud
raise the stakes then bring em down
if they fail to obey
oh if they fail to obey
pledge your grievance to the flag
aw c'mon, don't give blood then take it back again
oh we're all deserving something more
(have a, have a, drink, drink...)
(have a, have a, drink, drink...)
i want to breathe
follow the scene
i want to taste
everyone i see
i want to run when i'm up high
i want to run into the sea
i only want life to be...
i just want to be...
awooh...aye davanita...awooh...awooha...
jahooh...jahooh...
Bee girl, you're gonna die.
You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy.
Do your dances alone in your room.
Becoming a star will become your doom.
Bee Girl, be a girl.
You know time is long, and life is short.
Begin to live while you still can.
Believe in nothing, believe me,
Those who can be trusted can change their mind.
When the anxious is the present, unwrap your gifts, take your time.
Everything you imagine needn't be stuck in your mind.
How long must she stand
Before the ground gives way
To an endless fall
She can feel this
War on her face
Stars on her pillow
Folding in the darkness
Begging for slumber
I'm not blind
I can see it coming
Looks like lightning
In my child's eye
I'm not frantic
I can feel it coming
Violently shakes
My body
Her son's slanted
Always giving her
The sideways eye
An empty chair where Dad sits
How loud can silence get?
And Mom, she reassures
To contain him
But it's becoming a lie
She tells herself
And everyone else
Father is risking
His life for our freedoms
I'm not blind
I can see it coming
Looks like lightning
In my childs eye
I'm not frantic
I can feel it coming
Darling you'll save me
I'm wishing you a well...mind at peace within yourself...
Covers up I cast you off...I'll be watching as you breathe....
I'd lie still you move I'd send you off around the bend...
I hold your head deep in my arms...my fingertips they close your eyes...
Off you dream my little child...there's a sun around the bend...
There's a sun around the bend...
All the evenings close like this...all these moments that I've
missed...
Please forgive me, won't you, dear?
Please forgive and let me share with you around the bend...
Off you dream my little child...there's a sun around the bend...
There's a sun around the bend...
You're an angel when you sleep...
One, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, against one
Said one, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, five, five, five against one
Torture from you to me
Abducted from the street
I'd rather be
I'd rather be with
I'd rather be with an animal
Why would you wanna hurt me? Oh
Oh, so frightened of your pain
I'd rather be
I'd rather be with
I'd rather be with an animal
I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I'd rather be with an animal
I'd rather be
I'd rather be with
I'd rather be with an animal
I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I'd rather be with an animal
Said one, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, five, five, five against one
One, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, five, five, five against one
(Instrumental)
Wide awake like snakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had a woman long as he can remember
He is to forget but he can't, he can't
Out of bed having dreams in the shower
She's standing naked, he's apologizing
Reaches for her and the water turns red, God
Woken up to be burned, burned again
Go it alone, you got it so it goes
Got his knees to his face
He can't take it any other way
On the streets he's walking wounded
Having nothing he tries nothing to say
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coals
Go it alone, you got it so it goes
Got his knees to his face
He can't take it for another day
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Like an angel fly over your house
Like an angel pass out wishes
Like an angel I will move the arrow
Like an angel I live alone
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am close but can't enjoy
Oh I'm not dyin'
Oh I'm so tortured 'cause I see all
Tortured and all I cannot do
Tortured all I should have done
Tortured while I occupied a man
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am far from glorified
Oh I'm not dyin'
Oh I'm not alone
Mind is not a celestial state with idle hymns of praise
Time is short I have an appointment at noon at noon in Hell
Across the waste of space and fields of air I glide alone at night
Oh please please think of me 'cause I'm I'm by your side
I'm by your side I'm by your side oh
It's a hopeless... situation
And I'm starting to believe
That this hopeless... situation
Is what I'm trying to achieve
But I try
To run on
Towards
All or none,... all or none
Here's the selfless confession
Leading me back to war
Can we help that,.. our destinations
Are the ones we've been before
I still try
To run on
Towards all
Or none,... all or none
To myself I... surrender
To the one I'll never please
I still try,.. to run on
But I still try,.. to run on
But it's
Power high, power low
You could take 'em all to school
You could fly, wilt the stilt had nothing on you
Lambchops and afro-do, milwaukee bucks and a barbecue
#33 just like you
Sweet lew, how could you?
Sweet lew, makin' me blue
A laker trade their bobby-d for a house, a guru by the sea
A little help from 32, showtime, and worthy
Those were the days, pre-investment spree
Sweet lew, is it true?
Sweet lew, how could you?
I grew up trying to copy you, bruce lee, and a kung-fu
Acta jazzman, yogi too
Little did i know, a loose screw
But you had your own shoe
Build him high, build him tall, a taiku with a basketball
Tear 'em down, one and all
7'2" is a long way to fall
Sweet lew, how's the view?
Climbing on a mountain
Floating out on the sea
Far from lights of a city
The elements they speak to me
Whispering that life
Existed long before breed
Balancing the world
On its knee
Don't see some men as 1/2 empty
See them 1/2 full of shit
Thinking that we're all but slaves
There's ain't gonna be
No middle anymore
It's been said before
The haves be having more
Yet still bored
Won't someone save?
Won't someone save
I'm wishing you a well...mind at peace within yourself...
Covers up I cast you off...I'll be watching as you breathe....
I'd lie still you move I'd send you off around the bend...
I hold your head deep in my arms...my fingertips they close your
eyes...
Off you dream my little child...there's a sun around the bend...
There's a sun around the bend...
All the evenings close like this...all these moments that I've
missed...
Please forgive, won't you, dear?
Please forgive and let me share with you around the bend...
You're an angel when you sleep...
How I want your soul to keep of and all around the bend...
They're buildin' the gallows outside my cell.
I got 25 minutes to go.
And in 25 minutes I'll be in Hell.
I got 24 minutes to go.
Well, they give me some beans for my last meal.

With 9 more minutes to go.
But this ain't the movies, so to hell with me.
I got 8 more minutes to go.
And now I'm climbin up the ladder with a scaffold peg
With 7 more minutes to go.
I've betta' watch my step or else I'll break my leg.
I got 6 more minutes to go.
Yeah... with my feet on the trap and my head in the noose...
5 more minutes to go.
Well, c'mon somethin' and cut me loose.
I got 4 more minutes to go.
I can see the mountains. I see the sky.
3 more minutes to go.
And it's too damned pretty for a man to die.

And now I'm swingin' and here I gooooooooo....

Transcendental consequence

Who are we? Who we are
Trampled moss on your souls
Changes all, you're a part
Seen it all, not at all
Can't defend, fuck the man
Take me for a ride, before we leave
Avalanche, falling fast
Guidin' winds, happenstance
Off the track, in the mud
That's the moss, in the fore-mentioned verse
Just a little time, before we leave
Stop light plays its part
So I would say you've got a heart
What's your part? Who you are
don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
don't need a raincoat, i'm already wet
don't need a bandage, there's too much...blood...
after a while, seems to roll right off...hmm...

they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
Here I stand, head in hand
turn my face to the wall
if, she´s gone, I can´t go on
feeling two foot small
Everywhere, people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
and I hear what they say
Hey, you´ve got to hide your love away (x2)
How can I even try?
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them,
In the state I´m in
How could she
say to me, "love will find a way"?
gather ´round all you clowns
let me hear you say
Hey, you´ve got to hide your love away (x2)
"Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, 'I wanna leave it again'
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah
On a weekend, I wanna wish it all away, yeah
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason, oughta' leave her calm, I know
I said, 'I know what I wear, not a boxer or the bag'
Ah yeah...can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah
And I know and I know I don't want to stay
Make me cry
I see, ooh...I don't know why there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh, I said, I don't, I don't know a-where there's a boxer or the bag'
Ah yeah, can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah

We're all crazy
We're all crazy and we're
I got a car, I got some gas
oh let's get out of here
get out of here fast
ooh everyone's confused
so I stay in my room
if I go, I don't want
to go alone
I hope you get this message
oh you're not home
I could be there in
ten minutes or so
ooh I got my things
we'll make it up as we go along
oh with you I could
never be alone
never be alone
You'll be...going out with radio...
Going out with disco...going out like bacchanal...
I'll be...going out with telephone...
Going out alone...to the radar zone...
It's all just inadvertent imitation and I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation...
If it's just inadvertent simulation a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
I'll be...playing with my magazine...
Using up my Listerine...Like Ovaltine...
And you'll be...you're dippin' in your battleship...
For the latest tip...for the latest dream...
It's all just inadvertent, imitation, and I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation...
If it's just inadvertent, simulation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
If it's just inadvertent, imitation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
What's got the whole world fakin'? (4x)
Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by, low light
Side-tracked, low light
Can't see my tracks, your scent-way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
All I feel, calm
Voice blows by, low light
Car crash, low light
Can't wear my mask, your first, my last
Voice goes by
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by, low light
Eye sight, low light
I need the light
I'll find my way from wrong, what's real?
drive down the street can't find my keys to my own fucking home
i take a walk so i can curse my ass for being dumb
i make a right after the arches, stinking grease and bone
stop at the supermarket, people stare like i'm a dog
i'm goin' to lukin's...
i got a spot at lukin's...
i knock the door at lukin's...
open the fridge, now i know life is worth
i find the key, but i return to find an open door
some fucking freak who claims i fathered, by rape, her own son
i find my wife, i call the cops, this day's work's never done
i've used hammers made out of wood
i have played games with pieces and rules
i undeciphered tricks at the bar
but now you're gone, i haven't figured out why
i've come up with riddles and jokes about war
i've figured out numbers and what they're for
i've understood feelings and i've understood words
but how could you be taken away?
and wherever you've gone
and wherever we might go
it don't seem fair...today just disappeared
your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
we were but stones, your light made us stars
with heavy breath, awakened regrets
back pages and days alone that could have been spent, together..
but we were miles apart
every inch between us becomes light years now
no time to be void or save up on life
you got to spend it all..
and wherever you've gone
and wherever we might go
it don't seem fair...you seem to like it here
your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
we were but stones, your light made us stars
and wherever you've gone
and wherever we might go
it don't seem fair...today just disappeared
your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...
Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.
Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love
Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves,...
Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...
Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.
Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you,...
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word I stil believe
And it's
It's an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..
Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?
And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,...
Constant recoil...
Sometimes life
Don't leave you alone.
Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's
Love,... love. love. love. love.
Love boat captain
Take the reigns,.. steer us towards the clear.
I know it's already been sung,... can't be said enough.
Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..
Love,.. love,...
Cold wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost nowhere to go
Oh when I was a kid oh how magic it seemed
Oh please let me sleep it's Christmas time
Flowered winds was where I lived
Thought you burned not froze for your sins
Oh I'm so tired and cold
Oh when I was a kid oh how magic it seemed
Oh please let me sleep it's Christmas time
Oh oh when I was a kid oh how magic it seemed
Oh please let me sleep it's Christmas time
Oh oh when I if I was a kid oh how magic it seemed
You're always saying that there's something wrong...
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along...
Death came around, forced to hear its song...
And know tomorrow can't be depended on.
I seen the home inside your head,...
All locked doors and unmade beds.
Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that
I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
I escaped it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
Having tasted,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else.
Nothing back there for you to find,...
Or was it you, you left behind?
You're always saying you're too weak to be strong...
You're harder on yourself than just about anyone.
Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?
Darkness comes in waves,... tell me,why invite it to stay?
You're warm with negativity,
Yes, comfort is an energy,...
But why let the sad song play?
I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
I escaped it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
Having tasted,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
Oh I erased it,... A life wasted,...
My lips are shaking.
My nails are bit off.
Been a month since I've heard myself talk.
All the advantage this life's got on me.
Picture a coffin in the middle of the sea.
And I fight back in my mind.
Never lets me be right.
I got memories.
I got shit.
So much it don't show.
Oh,I walked the line when you held me in that night.
I walked the line when you held my hand that night.
An empty shell seems so easy to crack.
Got all these questions.
Don't know who I could even ask.
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream.
Where I'm not ugly and you're looking at me.
And I stay in bed.
Oh,little I've seen there.
If just once I could feel loved.
Oh, Stare back at me. Yeah.
But I walked the line when you held me in that night.
Oh,I walked the line when you held my hand that night.
Oh,I walked the line when you held me close that night.
I paid the price.
Never held you in real life.
"Son," she said, "Have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your Daddy was nothin' but a
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real Daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him but I'm glad we talked"
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, oh
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said, "I'm ready for you"
"I can't remember anything to this very day 'cept the look, the look
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare"
I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
"Is something wrong?", she said
Well of course there is, "you're still alive," she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be?
Is that the question? And if so, if so, who answers, who answers?
I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh I'm still alive
Hey I, oh I'm still alive
Got all night
Plenty of time
Take these chains
From my eyes
So alive
Gettin 'it prime
Take 'em there
Before you die
Why be satisfied
We've got all night
Please be here
Top of the stairs
No place for
The president
Build some fears
Left outside
Fuck, be content
To just get by
Why be satisfied
We've got all night
You scream and wail
You see who cares
Scream and wail
See who cares
Life has nothin' to do with
Killin' time
So why be satisfied
We've got... all night
We've got all night
war, i'm crazy
war, i'm crazy, i'm war...
war, i'm crazy
war, i'm crazy, i'm war...
war, i'm crazy
war, i'm crazy, i'm war...
She looked at me with dignity,said...
"There's something you got to see...
If you know we're headed for war
This country's prouder than ever before...
Yes,there's a spirit in the air
We're more American than anywhere..."
Well I just smiled,'cause I could tell
This little girl's going to hell
Now I wouldn't mind
If you swallowed my pride
Would make me feel alright
Deep inside,feel alright...
All the warmth in her heart
Can't keep my blood from running cold
Keep my blood from running cold
First I fell for her looks
Now I just wanna go for the throat
I tried to tell her a hundred times
This little girl didn't understand at all
Pride comes before a fall...
Now I wouldn't mind
If you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright
Deep inside,feel alright...
Ohhh...
This ain't the Garden of Eden
This ain't the summer of love
Things ain't what they used to be
There ain't no angels above
Whoa...
Ain't the Garden of Eden
Ain't no angels above
Things ain't what they used to be
This ain't the summer of love
I don't mind all the guys dancing with my girl
That's fine,I know them all pretty well
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright...
The kids are alright...
Sometimes,I know I gotta get away
Bells chime,I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't,I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright...
The kids are alright...
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had this plan but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind,I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime,I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't I'll go out of my fuckin' mind
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright...
The kids are alright... (X3)
What were all those dreams we shared
those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made now
left beside the road?
Behind us in the road
More than friends, I've always pledged
cause friends they come and go
People change, as does everything
I wanted to grow old
I just want to grow old
Slide up next to me
I'm just a human being
I will take the blame
But just the same
this is not me
You see?
Believe...
I'm better than this
Don't leave me so cold
I'm buried beneath the stones
I just want to hold on
I know I'm worth your love
Enough...
I don't think
there's such a thing
It's my fault now
Having caught a sickness in my bones
How it pains to leave you here
With the kids on your own
Just don't let me go
Help me see myself
cause I can no longer tell
Looking out from inside
of the bottom of a well
It's hell...
I yell...
But no one hears before I disappear
whisper in my ear
Give me something to echo
in my unknown future's ear
My dear...
The end
comes near...
I'm here...
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside and its ragin'.
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin(g)'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds cover
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history,baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
We talked about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
Yesterdays, how quick they change
All lost and long gone now
It's hard to remember anything moving at the speed of sound
Moving with the speed of sound
And yet I'm still holdin' tight to this dream of distant light
in that somehow I'll survive
But this night has been a long one
Waiting on a sun that just don't come
Can I forgive what I cannot forget
And live a lie?
I could give it one more try
Why deny this drive inside, just looking for some peace
Every time I get me some it gets the best of me
I'm not much left, you see
And yet I'm still holdin' tight to this dream of distant light
And that, somehow I'll survive
But this night has been a long one
Waiting on a word that never comes
A whisper in the dark
Is that you or just my thoughts
I'm wide awake and reaching out
It's gone so quiet now
Could it be I'm farther out?
I don't need anyone, don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no GOOD ADVICE, don't need no human race
I got some news for you, don't even need you too
I got my TELE machine, got my Electronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser
Got a sonic reducer, sonic reducer
People out on the streets, they don't know who I am
I watch them from my room, they are just passING by
But I'm not just anyone Said I'm not just anyone
I got my TELE machine, got my Electronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser
Got a sonic reducer, sonic reducer
I'll be a pharao soon, rule from some golden tomb
Things will be different then, the sun will rise from here
Then I'll be ten feet tall, and you'll be nothing at all
I got my time machine, got my electronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser
got a Sonic reducer, sonic reducer
it's a Sonic reducer, sonic reducer
yeah Sonic reducer, sonic reducer , sonic reducer
Underneath this smile Lies everything
All my hopes, anger, pride and shame
Make myself a pact, not to shut doors on the past
Just for today,... I am free
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
I know this one thing well,...
I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin
Breathing insecurity out and in
Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight
Pursuing the greater way for all,.. human light.
How I choose to feel,... is how I am.
How I choose to feel,... is how I am.
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
Holding on, the light of the night
On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul
Again.
Let me run into the rain
To be a human light again
Let me run into the rain
To shine a human light today
Life comes from within your heart and desire
Life comes from within my heart and desire
i will light the match this mornin', so i won't be alone
watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
i will stand arms outstretched, pretend i'm free to roam
i will make my way, through, one more day in hell...
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make...
i will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make..
how much difference...
i'll swallow poison, until i grow immune
i will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
how much difference
how much difference
how much difference does it make
In the moonlight...
Gettin'. Wind out to get back. It's a...
Steady shore to her land.
It's gettin' closer to the fence.
In the moonlight...
Givin'. Two lost wings.
A beautiful star sea.
A wonderful sense of beauty.
In the moonlight...
It's a love drawn nearer.
Darkened days are spent in.
A night bird is followin' you all the time.
Under a star-lined ceiling...
And darkness, so sleep. Ah,...
Your sense is revealed...
In the moonlight...
It's a love drawn nearer.
Darkened days are spent in.
A night bird is followin' you all the time.
It's a love drawn nearer.
Darkened days are spent in.
A night bird is followin'
you,... it's followin' you.
up here in my tree, yeah
newspapers matter not to me, yeah
no more crowbars to my head, yeah
i'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah
wave to all my friends, yeah
they don't seem to notice me, no
all their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh
sidewalk cigarettes and scenes, (tem-pted)
up here so high i start to shake
up here so high the sky i scrape
i'm so high i hold just one breath here within my chest
just like innocence
(eddie's down in his home)
(oh, the blue sky it's his home)
(eddie's blue sky home)
(oh, the blue sky it's his home)
i remember when, yeah
i swore i knew everything, oh yeah
let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah
it's growing up just like me, yeah
i'm so light the wind he shakes
i'm so high the sky i scrape
i'm so light i hold just one breath and go back to my nest
sleep with innocence...
up here so high the boughs they break
up here so high the sky i scrape
had my eyes peeled both wide open, and i got a glimpse
of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
When I woke up the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm goin' through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darling, just a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I had missed
Well now she's gone
Even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life, that night
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
lives opened and trashed..."look ma, watch me crash"...
no time to question...why'd nothing last...
grasp and hold on...we're dyin' fast...
soon be over...and i will relent...
let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past
three days, and maybe longer
won't even know i've left
under your tongue...i'm like a tab...
i will give you what...you're not sposed to have...
under my breath...i swear by sin...
for better or for worse...a best we began...
let the sun climb, oh, burn 'way my mask
three days, and maybe longer
shed my skin at last...shed...shed...
let the sun shine, burn 'way my mask
three days, and maybe longer
won't ever find me here
let the ocean dissolve 'way my past
four days, and not much longer...
let my spirit pass...
this is, this is...
this is, this is...
this is, this is...
At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Ooo, but we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin', ooo, dropped wide open
Just like the day, oh, like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Try to forget this
Try to erase this, from the blackboard
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
all in all, it's no one's fault
excuses turn to carbon walls
blame it all on chemical intercourse
the swallowed seeds of arrogance
breeding in the thoughts of ten thousand fools that fight irreverance
the full moon is dead skin
the one down here's wearing thin
so set are the ten pins as the human tide rolls in
like a ball that's spinning
bombs dropping down
overhead, underground
it's instilled...to wanna live
bombs dropping down, please forgive
our hometown in our insignificance
turn the jukebox up he said
dancing in irreverance
play c3, let the song protest
the plates began to shift
perfect lefts come rolling in
i was alone and far away, hey..
when i heard the band start playin'
on the lip...late take off
bombs dropping down
overhead, underground
it's instilled...to wanna live
bombs dropping down, please forgive
our hometown in our insignificance
feel like resonance of distance
in the blood...the iron lies
it's instilled...
to wanna live
bombs dropping down, please forgive
our hometown in our insignificance
I shut and locked the front door
No way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around
But nothing's sound, nothing's sound
I'd stay but my last cab left me
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls
They were upside down
I swallow my words to keep from lying
I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I..
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my being was enlightened.
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
It's been about three days now
Since I've been aground
No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
It's funny when things change so much
It's all state of mind
I swallowed my words to keep from lying
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting, I, I
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving
I surfaced and all around my being was enlightened
Now I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
Oh, I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding
Vacate is the word, vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear, vessel stabbed next up volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere
A truant finds home and a wish to hold on
But there's a trapdoor in the sun, immortality
As privileged as a whore, victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou, how?
Surrendered, executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor
A truant finds home and a wish to hold on to
But saw the trapdoor in the sun, immortality
I cannot stop the thought of runnin' in the dark
Comin' up a which way sign, all good truants must decide
Oh, stripped and sold, mom, auctioned forearm
And whispers in the sand
Truants move on, cannot stay long
Some die just to live
(This song was played live in Champaign, IL)
Some people seem so obsessed with the morning
Get up early just to watch the sunrise
Others like it more when there's fire in the sky
Worship the sun when it's high
Some people go for those sultry evenings
Cocktails in the blue, red, and grey
But I like every minute of the day
I dig every second
So long as you are on my mind
Each precious moment has its special charm
It's all right when you're around, rain or shine
I know a crowd who only lives after midnight
Their faces always seem so pale
And then there's friends of mine who must have sunlight
They say a suntan never fails
I know I was a man who worked a night shift
I was lucky to get a job and some pay
Now I like every minute of the day
I dig every second
I could laugh in the snow and rain
I get a buzz from being cold and wet
The pleasure seems to balance out the pain
And so you see that I'm completely crazy
I even shun the south of France
The people on my hill they say I'm lazy
But when they sing I...uh
But when they sleep I sing and dance
I know a crowd who...or something
Cocktails in the blue, red and grey
But I like every minute of the day
I like every minute of the day...
but i think your drums are

Pirates, I'm sayin' they rob I
Board the merchant ships
I'm not sayin' we're not a part of it
From the bottomless pit
But my hands were made strong
By the force of the Almighty
They don't say that your generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long can they steal our prophets
While we stand beside and look?
They don't say I'm your generation
Oh, and I say
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song
Redemption song
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long can they steal our prophets
While we stand beside and look?
Say some say it's just a part of it
You got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song
Redemption song
This song of freedom, oh
Oh where oh were could my baby be
The lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I'll leave this world
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road
Straight ahead
A car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop
So I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin tires
The busting glass
The Painfull scream that I heard last.
Oh where oh were could my baby be
The lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I'll leave this world
When I woke up
The rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Something warm falling into my eyes
But some how I found my baby that night
I lifted her head
she looked at me and said
Hold me darling just alittle while
I held her close
I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love I knew I had missed
but now she's gone
even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night
Oh where oh were could my baby be
The lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
ooooooooooooooooo
oooooo oooooooooo
ooooooooooooo

Why is that better than being hugged
Why is that better than being hugged
Because you get closer to the person
Closer to the person
Why is that better than being hugged
Because you get closer to the person
Closer to the person
Just like a person having sex feels cared for
We wanna be loved so we have sex together
And they feel loved about that
And this is the way it makes me feel loved

In two weeks before she could see herself not dressed
The twenty-third of May you know she disturbed no one today
The manager told her to completely forget
If you ever go to bed I'll kill you
Do I tell the whole world that I'm mentally ill
Go to the papers yeah why not
Drum roll
I want to show them that I can walk on my own without hands of theirs
And I can still fantasize but I keep it to myself
Keep it to myself keep it to myself
I think I deserve to be loved don't you
Very much so

I felt the earth on Monday
It moved beneath my feet
In the form of a morning paper
Laid out for me to see
I saw his face in the corner picture
I recognized the name
Could not stop staring at the
Face I'd never see again
It's a shame to awake, in a world of pain
What does it mean when war has taken over?
It's the same every day in a hell man-made
What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?
The whole world...
World Over...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide
The whole world...
World Over
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide
Medals on a wooden mantle
Next to a handsome face
That the president took for granted
Writing checks that others pay
And in all the madness
Thought becomes numb and naive
So much to talk about and
Nothing for them to say
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder
Laying claim to the take that soldiers save
Tell them to quit it, the truth's already out there
The whole world...
World Over...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide
The whole world...
World Over...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide
Looking in the eyes of the fallen
You got to know there is another, another, another, another, another...
Way
It's a shame to awake,in a world aflame
What does it mean when war has taken over?
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder
The whole world...
World Over...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide
The whole world...
World Over...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide
The whole world...
World Over...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide
The whole world...
World Over...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide
If I could reach to the sky and touch it for my country
Get some on my finger and take in its smell
The smell of victory land of the free Olympic dream
My Olympic dream
My promotion scheme
How hard can it be
How high can I jump
How high can I throw
How high can I run
How high can I hold my breath and stay underwater
and wave my legs around in perfect unison with my partner who really doesn't understand me
For my Olympic dream
I'll be like Dwight Stone
I'll be like Bruce Jenner
I'll be like that girl who trained all her life as a distance runner and then tripped with a quarter mile to go
But I I will get up and I will run
I will run with the Georgia peach breeze and I will win
I will win my Olympic dream
The gold's just not good enough
And I don't even think of the bronze
I've ????? my life for Olympic Platinum
Olympic dream
I'll sing like Whitney
My Olympic dream
This broken wheel is coming undone
And the roads exploding
But you're keeping me strong
Rolling along with you,...
Love is a tower
And you're the key
Leading me higher
When you let me in
Keeping us close,... so close
On down the line
Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun
With no one knowing
But you're keeping me strong
Rolling along with you
You are a tower of
Strength to me
The darkening hour
Sees light again
Ooh wah, ooh wah, you are...
Love is a tower
Of strength to me
I am the shoreline
But you're the sea
And out isn't perfect
My friends,I'll say it too
Stay my case,of which I'm certain
I've lived a life as full
I've travelled each and every highway
Oh,and more,as more gets...
I did it my way
Regrets,I've had a few
But they're too few to mention
I did what I had
It's all through without exemption
I play each charted course
I've travelled each and every by-way
And more,much more than this...
I did it my way...
Well twice,I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
I knew it all,without a doubt
I ate it up and I had to spit it out
I passed it on,and I stood tall
And I did it my way...
People try to put us...
Talkin' 'bout my generation...
Just because we...get around...
Talkin' 'bout my generation...
Things they do will all go c-c-cold...
Talkin' 'bout my generation...
Hope I die before I get old...
Talkin' 'bout my generation...
My generation...it's my generation,baby...
Why don't ya all...fuck off...
Talkin' 'bout my generation...
Don't try to d-d-dig what we all say...
Talkin' 'bout my generation...
I'm not tryin' to cause a b-b-big sensation...
Talkin' 'bout my generation...
Talkin' 'bout my,my,my,my,my,my...generation...
My generation...it's my generation,baby...
My generation...it's my generation,baby...
Why don't ya all fade away...
Now don't try and dig what we all say...
I'm not tryin' to cause a b-b-big sensation...
Talkin' 'bout my,my,my,my,my,my...generation...
My generation...my generation,baby...
Talk,talk about,my generation...what about...
This is the part where I play...I play the pope...
Feed the people...love the people...
The people got to live, the people got to breathe...every
day...
You don't meet the people...God gave the people bread...
Leave our tired...lead our tired, yeah, here...
Be careful with your brother...
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.
When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
anything.
Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing
Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for a night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight
And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up, make it all right, yeah, it's
all right, all right
And if you promised you'd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you never would leave me, baby
What ever happened to you
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true, hey
It ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standin' here feeling blue, blue
Ha, yeah, I'm blue, hoh, baby
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shopping downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around, 'round
The clock on the wall's moving slower
Oh, my heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found, found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Ohhhh, that I found
Hey babe
Oooh, hand that ticks on the clock
Just don't seem to stop
When I'm thinking it over
Oooh, tired of the light
I just don't seem to find
Have you wait, get away
Whoa oooh, I see it in my dreams
But I just don't seem to be with you
You I gotta get it all
Gotta get it all, gotta get it all
I've got to get all
(Guitar Solo)
Ooh, now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet, ohh
I've got no reason to doubt you baby
It's all a terrible mess
An' I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, ohhhhhh
yeah
Hey now, ohhhhhh-hoh
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love, hey now
Light of the love, hey now
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place where we just met
She's just the girl for me
I want all the world to see we've met
Da,da,da,da-da,da...
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
Adn I'd have never been aware
As it is I'll dream of her tonight
Da,da,da,da-da,da...
Oh,yeah,yes I'm fallin'
And she keeps callin' me back again
(X2)
The fruit of love was in the future
Around the corner and over the hill
The act of love was slowly pounding, slowly pounding,
slowly pounding.
The Holy War was slowly building
Heroes leaving for the Great Crusade
Seek reward in the ever after, ever after, ever after.
Don't wanna have to lose you baby
Don't want to have to take you back
You know I'll never lose you baby, abuse you baby, use
you baby.
You know I'll always help you baby, but you know I just
can't do that.
I know I said I'd help you baby, here's ny wallet, call
me sometime.
Act of love... (4x)
The fruit of love was in the future
Around the corner and over the hill
The act of love was slowly pounding, slowly pounding,
slowly pounding.
Act of love... (4x)
It's been two years
It feels like home...
Things can't be the same
Wherever you go...
I miss you...
I don't know
if you're gonna call me at home
If I go I don't want to feel alone
Let's get away,
have some drinks
light my smoke
It's all about the simple things
Lucky ones!
They are all in love.
If I go I don't want to feel alone
With you I could never feel alone...
Alone...
Alone...
Tried to remember but my feelings get old for sure
Tried to recall but it’s gone
Lucky stars in your eyes
I’m walking the cow
I really don’t know how I came here
I really don’t know why I’m staying here
I’m walking the cow
Tried to point my finger but the wind keeps blowin’ me around
In circles, in circles
Lucky stars in your eyes
I’m walking the cow
I really don’t know what I have to fear
I really don’t know why I have to care
I’m walking the cow
Lucky stars in your eyes...
Trouble, oh trouble set me free,
I have seen your face and it’s to much for today
Trouble, oh trouble cant you see
Eating my heart away, and there’s nothing much left of me
I drunk your wine
You have made your world mine
So won’t you be fair
Oh won’t you be fair
I don’t no more of you
So wont you be kind to me
And let me go there
I have to go there
Trouble oh trouble move away,
I have seen your face and it’s to much for me today
Trouble oh trouble can’t you see
You have made me a wreck now won’t you leave me in my misery
I’ve seen your eyes
And I have seen death disguised, oh hanging on me
Oh hanging on me
I’m deep and torn
Im shattered and lost and worn
Too shocking to see
Too shocking to see
Trouble oh trouble please be kind
I don’t wanna fight and I havn’t got a lot of time.
All the thoughts you never see
You are always thinking
Brain is wide, the brain is deep
Oh, are you sinking?
Feel the path of every day
Which road you taking?
Breathing hard, making hay
Yeah, this is living
Look for love in evidence
That you're worth keeping
Swallowed whole in negatives
It's so sad and sickening
Feel the air up above
Oh, pool of blue sky
Fill the air up with love
All black with starlight
Feel the sky blanket you
With gems and rhinestones!!!
See the path cut by the moon
For you to walk on
For you to walk on...
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing here...
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing left...
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing here...
See the path cut by the moon
For you to walk on
See the waves on distant shores
Awaiting your arrival
Dream the dreams of other men
You'll be no one's rival
Dream the dreams of others then
You will be no one's rival
You will be no one's rival...
A distant time, a distant space
That's where we're living
A distant time, a distant place
So what ya giving?
The sun was in clouds. The sun looked out. Exposed a trail of mist and spouts.
Ships followed the ancient lead. Deceiving friends under the sea.
Wow, imagine that? They won't fight back. I got a theory on that.
A whale's heart is as big as a car. A whaler's thought must be smudged by the dark.
They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or are too proud.
They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or too proud.
They swim. It's really free. It's a beautiful thing to see. They sing.
Hunters of land. Hunters of sea. Exploit anything for money.
I refer to anybody that takes advantage of what that is free.
They won't fight back.
It's only a thought that makes it seem right. What you don't see is because of your sight.
Take what you want. Kill what you can. That's just one way of the mind of man.
Take their lives. Sell their parts but there is not taking of their hearts.
If I was lost at sea. That harpoon boat in front of me. It's the whale I'd like to be.
They won't fight back.
They don't know how.
I felt the earth on Monday. It moved beneath my feet.
In the form of a morning paper. Laid out for me to see.
Saw his face in a corner picture. I recognized the name.
Could not stop staring at the. Face I'd never see again.
It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over
It's the same everyday in a hell manmade
What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?
The whole world...World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.
Medals on a wooden mantle. Next to a handsome face.
That the president took for granted.
Writing checks that others pay.
And in all the madness. Thought becomes numb and naive.
So much to talk about. Nothing for to say.
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder
Laying claim to the take that our soldiers save
Does not equate, and the truth's already out there
The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.
The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.
Looking in the eyes of the fallen
You got to know there's another, another, another, another
Another way
It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder
The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.
The whole world,... World over.
Sun come up it was blue and gold
Sun come up it was blue and gold

Ever since I put your picture
In a frame.

Till the wheels fall off
Oh yea

Ever since I put your picture

I asked him if he knew what time he had
He said he wasn't sure, maybe a quarter past
The kids of today should defend themselves against the
70's
I peered in his eyes as we stood in line just to have a
look
But the pages I found looked like an unbound coloring
book
The kids of today should defend themselves against the
70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the
70's
It's not reality, just someone else's sentimentality...
It won't work for you...
Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history
Forcing youth away from the truth of what's real today
The kids of today should defend themselves against the
70's
Stadium minds with stadium lies gotta make you laugh
Garbage vendors against true defenders of the craft
The kids of today should defend themselves against the
70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the
70's
It's not reality, just someone else's sentimentality...
Look what it did to us...
(Speakin' as a child of the 70's)
The kids against the 70's...
Kids against the 70's...
The kids of today should defend themselves against the
70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the
70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the
70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the

I went back to the doctor
To get another shrink
I sit and tell him bout my weekend
But he never betrays what he thinks
Can you see the real me, Doctor?
Doctor?
Can you see the real me, Doctor?
Woah, Doctor!
I went back to my mother
I said "I'm crazy ma, help me"
She said "I know how it feels son
Cause it runs in the family"
Can you see the real me, Mama?
Mama?
Can you see the real me, Mama?
Woah, Mama!
Can you see
Can you see
Can you see the real me?
Can you see
Can you see the real me
The real me
The real me
The cracks between the paving stones
Look like rivers of flowing veins
Strange people who know me
Peeping from behind every window pane
The girl I used to love
Lives in this yellow house
Yesterday she passed me by
She doesn't wanna know me now
Can you see the real me?
Can ya?
Can ya?
Can you see the real me?
Can ya?
Woah, yeah!
I ended up with a preacher
Full of lies and hate
I seemed to scare him a little
So he showed me to the golden gate
Can you see the real me, preacher?
Preacher?
Can you see the real me, preacher?
Preacher?
Can you see
Can you see
Can you see
Woah
Can you see the real me, Doctor?
Can you see the real me, Ma?
Can you see the real me?
Climbing on a mountain
Floating out on the sea
Far from lights of a city
The elements they speak to me...
Whispering that life
Existed long before greed...
Balancing the world
On its knee...
Don't see some men as half empty
See them half full of shit
Thinking that we're all but slaves
There's ain't gonna be
No middle anymore
It's been said before
The haves be having more
Yet still bored
Won't someone save?
Won't someone save
The world?
now my grandfather was a sailor
he blew in off the water
my father was a farmer
and i, his only daughter
took up with a no good millworking man
from massachusetts
who dies from too much whiskey
and leaves me these three faces to feed
millwork ain't easy
millwork ain't hard
millwork it ain't nothing
but an awful boring job
i'm waiting for a daydream
to take me through the morning
and put me in my coffee break
where i can have a sandwich
and remember
then it's me and my machine
for the rest of the morning
for the rest of the afternoon
and the rest of my life
now my mind begins to wander
to the days back on the farm
i can see my father smiling at me
swinging on his arm
i can hear my granddad's stories
of the storms out on lake erie
where vessels and cargos and fortunes
and sailors' lives were lost
yes, but it's my life has been wasted
and i have been the fool
to let this manufacturer
use my body for a tool
i can ride home in the evening
staring at my hands
swearing by my sorrow that a young girl
ought to stand a better chance
so may i work the mills just as long as i am able
and never meet the man whose name is on the label
it be me and my machine
for the rest of the morning
and the rest of the afternoon
gone for the rest of my life
How come...
They do this to us?
This boy... (X2)
How come...
They make such a fuss?
Over this boy...
This boy...
He's there and I...don't know what to do...
This boy... (X2)
Nothin'...
To look up there into
This boy... (X2)
Well, I dated your big sister
And took her to a show
I went for some candy
Along came jim dandy
And they snuck right out of the door
Ev'ry time I see your sister
Well she's got somebody new
She's mean and she's evil
Like that old boll weevil
Guess I'll try my luck with you
Well, I used to pull your pigtails
And pinch your turned-up nose
But you been a growin'
And baby, it's been showin'
From your head down to your toes
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
Then say it's very nice
And then you run
Little sister, don't you
Do what your big sister done
This is a public service announcement
With guitar
Know your rights
You got a right not to kill
Murder is a crime unless it is done
Unless it is done by a policeman or an aristocrat
Oh, know your rights
You have the right to food, money provided at cost
You don't mind a little investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers, perhaps retaliation
Know you rights, these are your rights
Know your, know these rights
You have the right to free speech
As long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it
Know your rights, these are your rights
Know your rights, these are your rights for freedom
Maybe it's been suggested in some quarters
That this is not enough
So get up, get up and scream, oh
Get up and scream, ah oh
Can I have some water up?
(You're the man Eddie)
(Eddie, you're the man)
There's no way to tell to be sure
Ticket I'm a-wantin'
This bus it's makin' way too many stops
I can't get a-movin'
Where's my destination?
I take a deep swallow in my frustration
I'm takin all I got
It fits in this little bag
All my life I had empty pockets
All my life I saw evil eyes in old dark sockets
I cut 'em off
I cut 'em off
I said, "I don't need them to make life work"
I cut 'em off
I cut 'em off
I'll never think twice if to them I never ever talk
So here I go
I'm finally on my way
Once I said goodbye
That was my last wave
Here I am on the, on the open road
I've never felt better then when I am alone (Eddie)
I used to be on an endless run
Believed in miracles 'cause I'm one
I've been blessed with the power to survive
After all these years, I'm still alive
I'm out here kickin' with the band
And suddenly I'm a solitary man
Everyday my time runs out
Live like a fool, that's what I was about
Oh, I believe in miracles
Oh, I believe in a better world for me and you
Oh, oh, oh, I believe in miracles
Oh, I believe in a better world for me and you
Tattooed your name on my arm
I always said my girl's a good luck charm
If she can find a reason to forgive
Then I can find a reason to live
I used to be on an endless run
Believed in miracles 'cause I'm one
I've been blessed with the power to survive
After all these years, we're still alive
Oh, I believe in miracles
Oh, I believe in a better world for me and you
Oh, oh, oh, I believe in miracles
Oh, I believe in a better world for me and you
I close my eyes
And think how it might be
The future's here today
It's not too late, it's not too late, oh
Oh, I believe in miracles
And oh, I believe in a better world for me and you
Oh, oh, oh, I believe in miracles
And I wished for so long cannot stay
All the precious moments cannot stay
It's not like wings have fallen cannot stay
But still something's missing I cannot say yea
Holding hands are daughters and sons
And their faiths are falling down down down down
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road the long road
Cannot stay the long road
There's no need to say goodbye say goodbye
All the friends and family
All the memories going round round round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
And the wind keeps roarin'
And the sky keeps turning grey
And the sun is setting
The sun won't rise another day
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
a man lies in his bed in a room with no door
he waits hoping for a presence, something, anything to enter
after spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank
as the ceiling at which he's staring
he's alive, but feels absolutely nothing
so, is he?
when he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him
by nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact
no tradebacks...
so this is what it's like to be an adult
if he only knew now what he knew then...
i'm open
i'm open
come in
come in
come in
come in
i'm open
i'm open
come in
come in
come in
come in
lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers
he decides to dream...
I've got a feelin', a feelin' deep inside
I've got a feelin', a feelin' I can't hide
I got a feelin'
Oh, please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train
And if you leave me, I won't be late again
I've got a feelin'
And I don't understand, how come nobody told me?
Why I'd want to sing like Milli Vanilli?
All I ever wanted was someone who looked like you, you
I got a feelin' that keeps me on my toes
I got a feelin', I think that everybody knows
I got a feelin'
Everybody had a good year, though we never saw the sunshine
Everybody had a wet dream, making temple was a good time
Everybody made a movie, everybody had one line
Everybody misses Andy, we'll be seein' him in no time
I got a feelin'
I got a feelin', a feelin' deep inside
I got a feelin', a feelin' I can't hide
I got a feelin'

in two weeks, before she could see herself not dressed...
the twenty-third of may...you know she disturbed no one today...
the manager told her to completely forget...

You fool, dude what do what you think you're doing?
So you're lost, my problem, that's not
Conductor says, "off of my train"
We understood, guest/host relationships ain't my thing
Even if i could, you aint the kind of person i would help anyway
I'm about to explode
Cuz i can't carry your load
Hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker
You're cool, and cold in your calculations
We're friends, only because of my situation
I'm about to unload
Cuz i can't carry your load
Hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker
Hitchhiker...
So be gone, too soon is too late
I dont want no delay
So be gone, get your food off someone else's plate
Go tell all your friends
I'm an idiot and you're great
Hitchhiker... hitchhiker...
Nothin' left for me...
I can't live down here no more.
I can't fall from a tree,
I got wings, it ain't my fault.
Understand what's right...
It's so hard to be alone.
It's never tight,
It's been so loose for so long.
Hold on...Hold on...
Understand my fear,
I never been this high before.
I can't fall from cheer alone.
It only takes a breath to believe...
I can't face one more day,
I have tried so many ways.
My life work, all I failed.
I can't waste away on zeal...
Hold on...
A voice tells me hold on...
Somewhere I feel...hold on...
The selfish, they're all standing in line...
Faithing and hoping and to buy themselves time.
Me, I figure as each breath goes by,
I only own my mind.
The north is to south what the clock is to time.
There's east and there's west and there everywhere lying.
I know I was born and I know that I'll die.
The in between is mine.
I. am. mine.
And the feeling that gets left behind...
All the innocence lost at one time...
Significant behind the eyes, there's no need to hide.
We're safe tonight.
The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying,
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide.
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied.
I only know my mind.
I. am. mine.
And the meaning that gets left behind...
All the innocence lost at one time.
Significant behind the eyes, there's no need to hide...
We're safe tonight.
Wooh!
And the feelings that gets left behind...
All the innocence fucking with lies.
Significant between the lines, we may need to hide.
And the meanings that gets left behind...
All the innocence lost at one time.
We're all different behind the eyes.
I wish I was a neutron bomb for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood
I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
Paint a picture using only gray.
Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames.
I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long.
It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.
Ohh [x4]
Tear into yourself, count days upon your arms
All the beatings ticking like a bomb.
After having seen all that they saw.
It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.
Ohh [x4]
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Somehow.
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Somehow.
Ohh [x4]
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. I hope this works. Somehow.
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Oh, somehow.
Tell me what I wanna hear
This shit's too good to be true
My dear
Tell me lies
Tell me lies, tell me
Tell me lies, tell me
Help me.. help me.. help me..
Storybook keeps from hurting me
You see
Shell of the man from the sea
Tell me lies
Tell me lies, tell me
Tell me lies, tell me
Tell me why
Tell me why, tell me
Tell me why, tell me
Tell me lies,...
Help me
Reservoir
Of hate and fear
Invisible
In repair
A hundred theives
Cast a spell
This is hell
Doctor said I,I'd be alright
Oh,everything that I believed,it wasn't true
I found it out when I got close to you
I thought you were different,like a dream
Things they ain't never what they seem,whoa
Thought I could trust you with my soul
But you can't do that anymore
The doctor said I'd be alright,but I still feel blue
The doctor said I'd be alright,but I still love you
Love you,hate you...
Love you,want you,hate you...
Ah,yeah...
I'm different
Me myself,I'm different than all the rest
I can only speak for myself,but people can trust me
Free the people,oh...got your love,whoa... (X2)
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
(X2)
I'm special...'cause I'm gonna make you see
Nobody loves you,nobody like me
I'm special,so special
I got to have some of your attention,give it to me
'Cause I'm...
I'll kick the fuck out of you
Peaceful times have come and gone
It's time to fuckin' kill somebody
I try,don't blame me
I try,peacefully
That time has come and gone,now it's just me
Just me...this means nothin' no more
This don't mean nothin' no more
I don't want to see this no more
Unless you're ready,'less you're ready,to stand behind it...
I don't give a fuck
Let the words that you say to me
Unless the actions sustain it
It's meaningless...
We're all meaningless
The world will go on
And we're all meaningless
The world will spin
We're all meaningless
I refuse,I refuse,to believe
We're meaningless,meaningless
We're meaningless,I refuse...
I won't give up,yeah...
Meaningless...we're not meaningless
We're not invisible...we're not meaningless
If you love someone,tell 'em
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel (X3)
Oh...
You had this bright idea one late summer night.
Candy-coated popcorn strung like a beaded curtain hung over your door.
I guess the heat got to it, dripped and melted all over the floor.
Chocolate-covered cherries in tin foil boats float around the floorboard.
I had to laugh not to cry.
Now all your possessions, all of your things, all of your hopes, schemes, desires, all of your dreams.
All gone away.
'Live for today', you said, 'live for today'.
I had to laugh not to cry.
Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach
Is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Laying in the fields
Love, reign o'er me
Love, reign o'er me, rain on me
Rain on me
Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn
To the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears
From on high
Love, reign o'er me
Reign o'er me, oh rain on me
Love, reign o'er me, rain on me
Rain on me
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home
To cool cool rain
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The nights are hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink
Of cool cool rain
Love, reign o'er me
Reign o'er me, o'er me
Love, reign o'er me, rain on me
Cold wind blows on the souls of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost, nowhere to go
Oh, when I was a kid
Oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep
It's Christmas time
Flowered winds was where I lived
Thought you burned, not froze for your sins
Oh, I'm so tired and cold
Oh, when I was a kid
Oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep
It's Christmas time
Oh ... oh, when I was a kid
Oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep
It's Christmas time
Oh ... oh, when I, if I was a kid
Oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me dream
It's Christmas time
When people keep repeating that you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating, but you can't seem to get enough
Let my love open the door, let my love open the door
Let my love open the door to your heart
Let my love open the door, ooh
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door, ooh
Let my love open the door
When everything feels all over, everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four-leaf clover, take all worry out of your mind
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door to your heart
Let my love open the door, ooh, to your heart
Let my love open the door, ooh
Let my love open the door, ooh
Let my love open the door, ooh
I got the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Try today, you'll find this way
Come on and give me a chance to say
Let my love open the door, it's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
There's only one thing going to set you free
That's my love, that's my love
Let my love open the door (to your heart)
Let my love open the door (to your heart)
Let my love open the door (to your heart)
Let my love open the door
When tragedy befalls you, don't let it drag you down
Love can cure your problems, you're so lucky I'm around
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door to your heart
(Fleetwood Mac cover)
(taken from, Live 1995)
I took my love,and I took it down
I Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
uh-uh i don't know
uh-uh
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
S0o0o0
(Gutiar solo)
I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
I'm getting older too
Oh, take this love, take it down
Oh, If you Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down down
And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down
well well the landslide will bring it down
My numbers up
My time has come
Sounds like they're playing my song
On the altar
My picture
Will be there while im gone
There'll be time for laughing
There is no time to cry
Soon I will be leaving
Look me in the eye
No matter what's in front of me
It's your face that I'll see
And the future of our young one
And this is what fuels me
There's no time for laughing
There's no time to cry
Soon I will be leaving
Look me in the eye
The oath I took
Not so seriously
The worlds gathered steam
And caught up with me
And my decisions been made
Some other place
By someone I don't know
And they don't know me
This is no time for laughing
There's no time to cry
Soon I will be leaving
Look me in the eye
Thieves in the window
Trouble down the hall
The resin white ceilings
Blood, dripping, flows
Out on the front line
Preachers sweep the air
Out on their backsides
With nothing in common, with no problem
She's just a girl...
Just... just a girl, yeah...
Just one time around
She has little chance to make good
Distance of her lie
Decided in the words
Burning fires
Fevered, she beliefs
This maid in progress
Betrayin' your mother's need for a shelter
Oh, just a girl
Just... just a girl
Just one time around
She had little chance to make good
Treats them now, she's young
But it can be taken away
Just one time around... can be taken away
We all make mistakes
Hush my babe... don't you cry...
You're my little alibi
Oh please... I need some sleep
Hmm, now be taking
You with me
Just a girl (5x)
There are colors on the street...red, white, and blue
People shufflin' their feet, people sleepin' in their shoes
There's a warnin' sign in the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forgive 'em, any way I can, yeah...
I see a girl in the night with a baby in her hands
Under an old street light, oh, near a garbage can
Now she put her kid away, she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done with it
That's one more kid, that'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
Keep on rockin' in the free world (3x)
(The US of A, the United States
Ain't a free place, it's not a free place
(Ain't got the right to choose, barely got the right to vote
(There they got the right to make an honest buck
The USA ain't a free, free place
There's a thousand points of light for the colored man
There's a kinder, gentler police man's hand
There's department stores, and toilet paper
Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer
There's a man of the people, said 'keep hope alive'
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world (4x)
She looked at me with dignity said
'There's something you got to see if you know we're headed for war this country's prouder than ever before yes there's a spirit in the air we're more American than anywhere'
Well I just smiled 'cause I could tell this little girl's going to Hell
Now I wouldn't mind if you swallowed my pride
Would make me feel alright deep inside feel alright
All the warmth in her heart can't keep my blood from running cold
Keep my blood from running cold
First I fell for her looks now I just wanna go for the throat
I tried to tell her a hundred times this little girl didn't understand at all
Pride comes before a fall
Now I wouldn't mind if you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright deep inside feel alright Ohh
This ain't the Garden of Eden
This ain't the summer of love
Things ain't what they used to be
There ain't no angels above
Whoa
Ain't the Garden of Eden
Ain't no angels above
Things ain't what they used to be
This ain't the summer of love
they don't eat, don't sleep
they don't feed, they don't seethe
bare their gums when they moan and squeak
lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
they don't push, don't crowd
congregate until they're much too loud
fuck to procreate till they are dead
drink the blood of their so called best friend
they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
don't pack themselves together and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare
they don't scam, don't fight
don't oppress an equals given rights
starve the poor so they can be well fed
line their holes with the dead ones bread
they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
don't pack themselves together and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...
they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
don't pack themselves together and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...
rats...they don't compare
rats...they don't compare
ben, the two of us need look no more
There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Businessmen they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey Hey
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but, uh
But you and I we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour's getting late
Hey
Hey
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants to, but, Uh
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
Hey
Oh
All along the watchtower
Hear you sing around the watch
Gotta beware gotta beware I will
Yeah
Ooh baby
All along the watchtower
Don't you think you oughtta rest?
Don't you think you oughtta lay you head down?
Don't you think you want to sleep?
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down tonight?
Don't you think you've done enough?
Oh, don't you think you've got enough, well maybe..
You don't think there's time to stop
There's time enough for you to lay your head down, tonight, tonight
Let it wash away
All those yesterdays
What are you running from?
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to call your own
So no one catches you? drifting off and
Doing all the things that we all do
Let them wash away
All those yesterdays
All those yesterdays
All those paper plates
You've got time, you've got time to escape
There's still time, it's no crime to escape
It's no crime to escape, it's no crime to escape
There's still time, so escape
He's got a big gold ring what says "Jesus Saves"
And it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day
When he smashed the metal locker where he kept his things
After the big boss said, "You best be on your way"
Oh yeh
So this life is sacrifice
Oh yeh
Jumping trains just to survive
Well, his wife and kid are sleeping but he's still awake
On his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid
Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate
Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?
Yeh,
So this life is sacrificed
Oh yeh
To a strangers bottom line

Every beach has a clown who thinks he knows it all.
Hang-ten outta Santa Fe when surf comes out tomorrow lets go!
And he's always practicing his cowabunga call.
Cowabunga!
But the menace scrambles when the big waves start to roll.
Wsssshhhh...
'Cuse there's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
Gremmie out of control.
There's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
The kids all know that a gremmie's talk is cheep.
Ride the Hula-Han over the pipeline bonsai to the saddle bowl.
Tho they just try to ignore this ugly creep.
Cowabunga!
His board is always full of dings 'cause he's always doing stupid things.
And there's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
Gremmie out of control.
There's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
Gremmie out of control.
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun.
On the shore lay montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
With the secrets of the worlds.
And his subjects gathered round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see.
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on.
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones.
They carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way
But they built up with their bare hands
What we still cant do today.
And I know shes living there
And she loves me to this day
I still cant remember when
Or how I lost my way.
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, cortez
What a killer.
Bad Religion - "Recipe For Hate")
I was born on planet earth
the rotating ball where man comes first
it4s been around for a long, long time
but now it4s time to watch it die
I saw a man on my big blue screen
he ruled the world economy
he said the rich would never concede
but some day soon he4ll be put to sleep
I4ve seen the life of the forest green
and adaptations of the deep blue seas
and who knows who is the fittest
they will all soon be put to rest
On a plunging flight and we4re sitting
in the pilots seat in the midst of life
people on a dark horizon praying
somebody will save their lives
I was born on planet earth
at a drastic time full of plastic mirth
and everyday I4ve seen increasing signs
and you would too if you4d opened your eyes
you had a chance you did not try
so now it4s time to watch it die
We the people, watch them grow
Feed the people, watch them grow
(Keep them alive I won't forget this night)
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and face
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hand and sealed his fate
I seem so overcome, yeah...
Words seem so out of place
words they fall off my altar
How did I get to this place?
Seems so, sounds so familiar
Lost in my dying, cold cry...
All their dreams, there's a million, yeah...
So does it feel time to say a prayer?
Hey, yeah... (2x)
Words they seemed out of place
Words they seem out of place
Falling out on my face, yeah...
Words just seem out of place
p-r-i-v-a-c-y is priceless to me
p-r-i-v-a-c-y is priceless to me
p-r-i-v-a-c-y is priceless to me
p-r-i-v-a-c-y is priceless to me
p-r-i-v-a-c-y
p-r-i-v-a-c-y
p-r-i-v-a-c-y
Yeah I been dreaming of getting along
Now I’m awake, dreaming keep it on keeping on
I catch a break, then a punch to the head
I smile big with a toothless grin.
Supersonic gone & took my soul
I caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh
Supersonic, truth be told
I don’t need you to live, but I’ll never let you go
Yeah I been thinking, I already know
Nothing bout nothing, or so I have been told
I’m not the paper, I’m more like the fold
Cut the crease & put the shit in the whole
Supersonic, gone & took my soul
I caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh
Supersonic, truth be told
I don’t need you to live, but I’ll never let you go
Supersonic, gotta feel it now
I need to hear it, need to feel it loud yeh
Supersonic, truth be told
How can you say that you're not responsible
What does it have to do with me
What is my reaction, what should it be
Confronted by this latest atrocity
To tears...
Driven to tears (3x)
Oh yeah...
Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
A comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow,
meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a fuckin' magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food, and this is what
we've seen
Driven to tears (3x)
Oh yeah...
Ohh... (4x)
Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world, and who know's what to do
Driven to tears (6x
Gonna save you fucker,...not gonna lose you
Feeling cocky and strong,. can't let you go,...
Too important to me
Too important to us,... we'd be lost without you
Baby, let yourself fall,... I'm right below you now
And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear
And fuck if you only hear what you wanna hear
Fuck me if I care,... but I'm not leaving here
You helped me when I was down,... I'll help when you're down
Why are you hitting yourself,... c'mon hit me instead
Let's pick up your will,... it's grown fat and lazy
I'm sympathetic as well,... don't go on me now
And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfist and clear
And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without
My best friend,... wake up to see you could have it all
Cause there is but you,... and something within you
It's taken control,. let's beat it, get up let's go
Oh you're in your own world, let's see the whole world
Let's pick up your soul
And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear
And fuck me if you only hear the treble in your head
Please help,... me,... to help you,... help yourself
Help me help yourself,... please want me to,... please let me to
Help you
Money talks
but it don't sing and dance and it don't walk.
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans.
Honey's sweet.
But it ain't nothing next to baby's treat.
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say we'll do okay
forever in blue jeans.
Maybe tonight
maybe tonight
by the fire all alone you and I;
nothing around but the sound of my heart and your
sighs.
Money talks.
But it can't sing and dance and it can't walk.
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans
babe.
And honey's sweet.

Light green to green, dark green, brown..
Every life is falling down
Brown to black, it's coming back
Dies to be part of the ground
Seed to seedling, root to stem
Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference,...
Every life is looking in
Swallowing seeds on the deathbed,...
Dig a hole in,... the garden.
Everyone is practicing,...
But this world's an accident.
I was the fool because I thought
I thought the world
Turns out the world thought me
It's all the other way round
We're upside down
Daddy's gone up flames,..
But this ain't no movie
This ain't no book you can close
When the big lie hits your eye.
Everybody's practicing,....
Our world's an accident
I was the fool because I thought
Let the fluence sat it down.
There's an upside of down.
Sometimes I'm right then I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my songs
A butcher, a banker, Jack Irons on drums
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people
Then it's the blue ones who can't accept
The green ones for living with
The black ones tryin' to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha
We gotta live together
I am no better and neither are you
We're all the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me
You know me and then
Still can't figure out the scene I'm in
I am everyday people
Then it's the new man
That doesn't like the short man
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha
We got to live together
There is a yellow one that won't
Accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and
Scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha
I am everyday people
what the fuck is this world
running to?
you didn't leave a message
at least I could have
heard your voice one last time.
daily minefield
this could be my time
how 'bout you?
would you hit me?
would you hit me?
all the bills go by
and initiatives are taken up
by the middle
there ain't gonna be any middle any more
and the cross I'm bearing home
ain't indicative of my place
left the porch
left the porch
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
walk beside me
I just need to say...
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
I just need to say
I could not take a-just one day
I know when i would not ever touch you
hold you
feel you
ever hold
in my arms
all these...
i got bugs
i got bugs in my room
bugs in my bed
bugs in my ears
their eggs in my head
bugs in my pockets
bugs in my shoes
bugs in the way i feel about you
bugs on my window
trying to get in
they don't go nowhere
waiting, waiting...
bugs on my ceiling
crowded the floor
standing, sitting, kneeling...
a few block the door
and now the question's:
do i kill them?
become their friend?
do i eat them?
raw or well done?
do i trick them?
i don't think they're that dumb
do i join them?
looks like that's the one
i got bugs on my skin
tickle my nausea
i let it happen again
they're always takin' over
i see they surround me, i see...
see them deciding my fate
oh, that which was once...was once up to me...
now it's too late
i got bugs in my room...one on one
that's when i had a chance
i'll just stop now
i'll become naked
Talk of circles and punching out
Looking in, drawing circles down
Falling up the south marking ground
Talking out of turn, drawing circles down
Like Pilate, I have a dog
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves}
Walks me out of town
Still, oneÒs a crowd
Making angels in the dirt
Looking up, looking all around
Like Pilate, I have a dog
Obeys, listens, kisses, loves
Stunned by my own reflection
It's looking back, sees me too clearly
And I swore I'd never go there again
Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down
Like Pilate, I have a dog
Restless soul, enjoy your youth.
Like Muhammad. Hits the truth.
Oh, can't escape from the common rule - if you hate something don't you do it too. Too...
Small my table. Sits just two.
Got so crowded. I can't make room.
Oh where did they come from? Stormed my room.
And you dare say it belongs to you. Fuck you...
This is not for you. (x3)
Oh, never was for you. You...
My friends call me Ed, they call me.
My friends call me...
All that's sacred comes from youth.
Dedication. Naive and true.
With no power. Nothing to do.
I still remember. Why don't you? Don't you?
This is not for you. (x3)
Oh, never was for you. Fuck you.
This is not for you. (x3)
Oh, never wasy for you. You...
it's out of my hands, making your hands meet
stumble as it's crumbling out of reach
it's in the cards on destiny
your sanity in tow
designate my luck
ah resignate...
this power has no roots to guide, no role...
trust in rusted minds refused to go
unwillingness, it's meaningless to walk away in vain
designate my will
ah designate my fill
resignate
my will is crashing, synapses flashing slow
ah days like frame by frame, where do they go?
yeah why fight? forget it
cannot spend it after i go
roll 'em high...
throw them again...
all gods' dice...
monkey driven, call this living, hahah
ah too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole
minding yours, what's mine not yours
will finish us off
a-designate my life
ah designate my view
ah resignate my will, my will, my will, i will
please don't go out on me, don't go out on me now
never acted up before, don't go on me now
i swear i never took it for granted, just thought of it now
suppose i abused you, just passing it on
go...fuck...
once fastened, servile, now you're getting sharp
moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm
i pulled the covers over him, shoulda' pulled the alarm
turned to my nemesis...a fool, not a fucking god
no...time...suck...my...
please...
don't go on me
don't go on me
don't go on me
don't go on me
please...oh...
suck...blood...touch...please, tunnel vision...tuck...time...see...
please, please, please...
don't go on me
don't go on me
don't go on me
don't go on me
please...
don't you want me
don't go on me
please...
It's a disease,... and they're all green
It emminates from their being
A satiation with occupation
And like weeds,.. with big leaves
Stealing light from what's beneath
Where they have more,...
Still they take more
Course I know,.. then I don't
There's a stoway with my throat
It's deceiving
I don't believe him
We can scream,.. out our doors
Behind the wall a fat man snores
In his dreams he's,...
Choking on leaves
Well I guess
There's nothing wrong with what you say
Believe me
Just asking you to sway
No white
Or black
Just grey
Can you feel this,..
No more upset mornings
No more trying evenings
This American dream
I am disbelieving
When the gas in my tank
Feels like money in the bank
Gonna blow it all this time
Take me one last ride
For the lights of this city
They only look good when I'm speeding
Gonna leave 'em all behind me
Cause this time
I'm gone
Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all
So long
Cause this time I'm gone
In the far off distance
As my tail-lights fade
No one thinks to witness
But they will someday
Feel like a question is forming
And the answeres far
I I'll be what I could be
Once I get of of this town
For the lights of this city
They have lost all feeling
Gonna leave 'em all behind me
Cause this time
I'm gone
Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all
So long
Long gone, I'm letting go of it all
Cause this time I'm gone
If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
My lips are shakin', my nails are bit off
Been a month since I've heard myself talk
All the advantage this life's got on me
Picture a coffin in the middle of the sea
And I fight back in my mind...
Never let's me be right, oh...
I got memories, I got shit
So much it don't show...
I walked the line
When you held me in that night
I walked the line
When you held my hand that night...
An empty shell seems so easy to crack
Got all these questions, don't know who I could even ask
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
And I'll stay in a bed
Oh could i've seen him
If just once, I could feel loved
Oh, stare back at me, yeah...
But I walked the line
When you held me in that night
Oh, I walked the line
When you held my hand that night
Oh, I walked the line
When you held me close at night
I paid the price, never held you in real life...
Out of my mind...out of my mind...
All of the time...
Wish you could help me mister...
Wish you could lift me up...
Wish you could pack my parachute mister...
Wish you could pull me up.
The winds have change, I'm stuck beneath the rain...
I wish you could help me up...
Out of my mind...out of my mind...
Once inside, I'm out of my mind...
Out of my mind...out of my mind...
Once inside, I'm out of my mind...
Wish you could help me, give me a pill...
Just a little drink that I could swill.
A little something, anything, anything, I'll try all...
I ain't got nowhere to go from here.
I'm just about this far
From drowning in my very own tears.
Out of my mind...out of my mind...
Once inside, I'm out of my mind...
Out of my mind...out of my mind...
I don't feel so hot...
out of my mind...
Where do I go? Where do I stay?
I got no place to lay in the hay.
Where do I go to soothe my head?
Guess I'll turn on music instead.
Where do I see? Where do I shine?
No one wants to take my mind.
Where do I go? How do I feel?
Guess I'll waste away in here...
Out of my mind...out of my mind....
Out of my mind every single time...
ah, is there room for both of us?
both of us apart?
are we bound out of obligation?
is that all we've got?
i get the words, and then i get to thinkin'
i don't wanna think, i wanna feel
and how do i feel?
and how do i...
if you're the only one, will i never be enough?
hail, hail the lucky ones, i refer to those in love
swore i'd love you till the day i die, and beyond..
are we going to the same place? if so, can i come?
it's egg rolling thick and heavy
all the past you carry
oh, i could be new... you underestimate me
if you're the only one, will i never be enough?
hail, hail the lucky ones, i refer to those in love
i sometimes realize i could only be as good as you'll let me
are you woman enough to be my man?
bandaged hand in hand
i find it on the run in a race that can't be won
all hail the lucky ones, i refer to those in love
if you're my only one, so could you only one?
i want to be your one, enough...
seen it happen to a couple of friends
seen it happen and the message it sends
taken up for what's an obvious fault
just to see what all the fuss is about
it's not your way...not your way
it's not your way
another habit says it's in love with you
another habit says its long overdue
another habit like an unwanted friend
i'm so happy with my righteous self
it's not your way...not your way
it's not your way
never thought you'd... habit
never thought you'd... habit
never thought you'd... habit
i never thought you, never thought you...
never thought you'd... habit
never thought you'd... habit
never thought you'd... habit
i never thought you, never never thought you..
never thought you'd... habit
never thought you'd... habit
never thought you'd... habit
speaking as a child of the nineties...
never thought you'd... habit
never thought you'd... habit
never thought you'd... habit
i never thought you, never thought you
never thought you'd... habit
never thought you'd... habit
never thought you'd... habit
i never thought you, never never thought you...
Fuck me in the brain (X2)

You think I care
'Bout those emotions you wear
You think I care
'Bout the way you wear your veil
You think our love,huh
Is so far above...oh...
Fuck me (X7)
“On the last time you’ve got your new parachutes, or a new
bike or new clothes or something. Sometimes you got
something new you just, you can’t wait to... to use it.
So we’re ... are gonna try a couple... At least one new song.
Yeh, we can’t wait to try it out, so. Another for you.”
There's a light, when my baby's in my arms
There's a light, when the window shades are drawn
Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her
Wash it off cause this feeling we can share
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
Byzantine is reflected in our pond
There's a cloud, but the water remains calm
Reaching in the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass
Even out, it's a precious thing to bear
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
Yes, I know she's reached my heart in thin air
It's not in my past to presume
Love can keep on moving in both directions
How to be happy and true
Is the quest we're taking on together
Take it on, on, on, on, on
Take it on, on, on, on, on...
There's a light when my baby's in my arms
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
Yes, I know she's reached my heart
I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadents
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
But it's on the table
The fire is cooking
And they're farming babies
While the slaves are working
The blood is on the table
And their mouths are choking
But I'm growing hungry
I've got you, and that's all I want.
I won't forget, 'cause that's a whole lot.
When something's wrong, I feel uneasy.
You show me, tell me you're not teasin'.
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying.
Look at you, you're a pageant.
You're everything that I've imagined.
I don't go out, now that you're here.
Sometimes we shout, but that's no problem.
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying.
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying.
There's no doubt, but when I'm with you.
When I'm without, I stay in my room.
Where do you go? I get no answer.
You're always out, it gets on my nerves...
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying.
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying.
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying.
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened.
You can see my eyes and tell that I'm not lying.
Johnny Guitar lyrics
Johnny Guitar wasn't staring at me
Riding on 3 wheels, a woman on his knee
With a leg under the red dress I wish I could see
Farther? the love of lingering
Now Johnny he be having lots of women
Oh the reason he'd be smiling known to him
On the left the girl in red so innocent
Never sheds her clothes even when she goes to bed
Yeah on top the girl responsible for original sin
Can't help but wonder where and who she is
Oh and the memory's always getting clearer
First thirty years and more I've loved her so
But now I need to know why she's with him
And I sleep with the light on in case she comes
And I sleep with the light on in case she...
Recently as I was waiting on a dream
She came to visit lost and lonely me
Oh she leaned over the bed and with the lips above my head
She asked if I had seen her Johnny
Oh and I hide my disappointment cause for years I have been hoping
Oh yeah I have been hoping that when she came that she would come for me
Hey... hey...
I'll hide my disappointment cause for years I have been hoping
That when she came she'd be coming just for me...
I'll hide my disappointment cause for years I have been hoping
That when she came she'd be coming just for me... ah yeah!
Aw yeah!
Aw yeah!
It's okay, it's okay (x4)
You don't have to run and hide away
It's okay, it's okay
I love you anyway
It's okay, it's okay
You don't need to run and hide away
It's okay, it's okay
This is my life, this is my chance
This is my hope in an alleyway
This is my choice, this is my voice
There may be no tomorrow, now
This is my plea, this is my need
This is my day to be free
This is my time, this is my way
In a world that's never safe
It's okay, it's okay
You gotta let me run away
It's okay, it's okay
Oh now let me run away
It's okay, it's okay
You're gonna run and hide away
It's okay, it's okay
It's Ok, It's Ok... ( x3 )
you don't Have to run and Hide Away
It's Ok, It's Ok
You know Ilove you AnyWay
This is My Chance, This is My Life
and is my Hope in an AlleyWay
This is My Chance, This is my Voice
There Maybe no Tomorrow, NO!!
This is My Plea, This is My Need
And My Time To Stand It Free
This is Myself, This is My day
In a world that's never safe
It's Ok, It's Ok...
You Know I love You AnyWay
It's Ok, It's Ok...
you don't Have to run and Hide Away
It's Ok, It's Ok...
It's Ok, It's Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Un Saludo desde Argentina para Todos los Fanaticos de Pearl Jam
Pisko.
He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying
Whole
High.. wide, oh
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He's flying
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Yeah, hey, hey
When something's dark, let me shed a little light on it
When something's cold, let me put a little fire on it
If something's old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When something's gone, I wanna fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When something's broke, I wanna put a bit of fixin on it
When something's bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
If something's low, I wanna put a little high on it
When something's lost, I wanna fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When signals cross, I wanna put a little strain on it
If there's no love, I wanna try to love again
I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I'll find us a way to make light
I'll dig your grave, we'll dance and sing
What's saved could be one last lifetime
hey, hey, hey
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sliding out of reverse into drive, this
Wheel will be turning right, then straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride
She can remember a time denied, stood by
Side of the road, spilled like wine, now
She's out on her own and line high
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
She's disappeared
They said timing was everything, made him
Want to be everywhere, there's a
Lot to be said for nowhere
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
WeÒve disappeared
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks or apologize
I couldn't breathe holdin' me down
Hand on my face kissin' the ground
Enmity gauged united by fear
'Posed to endure what I could not forgive...
I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gauged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive
Saw things
Clearer
Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror...
I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...
Saw things so much clearer
Once you, once you...
Rearview mirror
Saw things so much clearer
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear [Incomprehensible]
Chloe don't know better,
Chloe's just like me, only beautiful.
A couple of years difference,
But those lasses never learn, and you know.
Chloe danced the tables in the French Quarter,
She's always been given so I can't always make her laugh.
But I'm proud to say and I won't forget
The time spent laying by her side,
The time spent laying by her side.
And dreams like this must die,
A dream like this must die
And dreams like this must...
Arms Aloft
Sometimes there's no star shining
Scounting the edge of the universe
Sometimes you can't see the horizon
Between the ocean and the earth
And just when you're thinking about slinkin' down
I'm gonna pull you up ? I'm gonna pull ya round
May I remind you of that scene
The spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene
Let a million mirror balls beam
May I remind you of that scene
And you say ? living ain't nothing but hassles?
In a Manilla envelope rain
And driving coal all-night to Newcastle
It's getting to be a repettetive strain
And just when you're thinking about
Going down the drain ?
May I remind you of that scene
The spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene
Let a million mirror balls beam
May I remind you of that scene
I'm gonna pull you up ? I'm gonna pull ya round
May I remind you of that scene
The spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
Let a million mirror balls beam
The spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
They say the stars can't see their rays
Nor can they count their numbered days
No flower can says what perfume is
We got all this and bird and diz
May I remind you of that scene
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene
(Thanks to Dreadhead for these lyrics)

Someday at christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
one warm december our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at christmas there'll be no war
When we have learned what christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at christmas time
Someday at christmas we'll see a land
With no hungry children
No emtpy hand
One happy morning people will share
A world where people care
Someday at christmas
There'll be no tears
When all men are equal
No man has fears
One shining moment
One prayer away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at christmas time
Someday at christmas
Men will not fail
Hate will be gone
And love will prevail
Someday a new world
That we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday at christmas
Someday at christmas time (2x)
you guys ready...
alone... listless... breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
young girl... violins... center of her own attention
mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it
tries to make her proud
the shades go down, it's in her head
painted room... can't deny there's something wrong...
don't call me daughter, not fit to
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me daughter, not fit to
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me...
she holds the hand that holds her down
she will... rise above...
don't call me daughter, not fit to
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me daughter, not fit to be
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me...
don't call me daughter, not fit to
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me daughter, not fit to be
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me...
the shades go down
the shades go down
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
You rest in my heart
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
Your love is all that I've got
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
When your lesson is taught
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
Your song's all that we've got
But darling take care
In a little while
You might get burned
Get out of the sun
In a little while
You might get burned
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
We each have our part
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
This song's all that we've got
Oh hymn, this song's all that we've got
But darling take care
In a little while
You just might get burned
Get out of the sun
In a little while
You might get burned
Darling take care
In a little while
You might get burned
Get out of the sun
In a little while
Lost for the rest of my life in your arms
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
Oh hymn, Oh hymn
We all have our part
Oh hymn, this songs all that we've got
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell, blue sky from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil, do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war, for a lead-role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls living in a fish bowl
Year after year, going over the same old ground
What have you found, the same old fears
Wish you were here
Oh, wish you were here, oh, wish you were here
Oh, wish you were here, oh, wish you were here
Tell me what I wanna hear
This suits too good to be true
My dear
Tell me lies
Tell me lies, tell me
Tell me lies, tell me
Help me
Storybook keeps from hurting me
You see
Shell of the man from the sea
Tell me lies
Tell me lies, tell me
Tell me lies, tell me
Tell me why
Tell me why, tell me
Tell me why, tell me
Tell me lies,...
Help me
Reservoir
Of hate and fear
Invisible
In repair
A hundred theives
Cast a spell
This is hell
Help me
The man they call my enemy, I've seen his eyes
He looks just like me, a mirror
The more you read, we've been deceived
Everyday it becomes clearer,...
Clearer.
Not my enemy,.. no, not my enemy,..
1 2 1 2 3 4...
Know a man...his face seemed pulled and tense...
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds...
So I approach with tact...suggest that he should relax...
But he's always movin' much too fast...
Said he'll see me on the flipside
On this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been takin' too much on...
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes...
He's yet to come back...but I've seen his picture...
It doesn't look the same up on the racks...
We go way back...
I wonder 'bout his insides...
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size...
He's been taken...where, I don't know?
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope...
There he goes...
And now I rub my eyes...for he has returned...
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
For he still smiles...and he's still strong...
Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit, that has grown...
And now he's home, and we're laughing, like we always did...
My same old, same old friend...
Until a quarter-to-ten...
I saw the strain creep in...
He seems distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next...
oh he deals em off, off the top, ties em off
fills it up, with his past, gets carried away
oh half his life, a hand me down, wasted away
of he fills it up, with the love, of a girl
oh he left it alone, drilled the pain, with money to buy
how he makes his getaway
how he makes his getaway
oh he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four
fills his night, with the thought, of a girl
how he makes his getaway
how he makes his getaway
behind her eyes there's curtains...
and they've been closed to hide the flames, remains...
she knows their future's burning, but she can smile just the same, same...
and though her mood is fine today
there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
standing, like a statue
a chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey...
and though he's too big a man to say
there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
drifiting away, drifting away, drifting away...
Why deny
All the troubles when combined
with the missing links
It don't feel like
Home now,...
The you're gone
All the troubles
Suddenly explained infinitum
You're always wishing and
Never here at home.
All the dreams we shared and
Lights we turned on
But the house is getting dark
Ans I don't want to know your past
But together share the dawn
And I won't need
Nothing else
Cause when we're dead
We would've had it all
And died
I would've fallen from the sky
Till you
Parachutes have opened now
Heaven knows if there's a ceiling
Come so low with the kneeling
Please know that
I got
All the feelings I'm needing
Before my light goes out
As the doors are closing now
And far away will be my home
And to grasp this, I don't know
And I don't need
Further back and forth, A wave will break on me today
And love,... wish the world could go again with love
One can't seem to have enough
And war,... break the sky and tell me what it's for
I'll travel there on my own
And love,... what a different life
It's not the same without you up here
Can't find my wheels
Your absence is what breeds this fear
Warm breath and all it steals
You can't know how it feels to be in here
All the dark horse fields, befriendin' me
Playin' ain't the same without you here
We've come to hate the golden rule
Cannot seem to make the dots connect
The morning light don't show you near
You can't know what it's like to bleed from here
The blackened world grows white, it goes nowhere
Oooh hoo..
Death ain't the same without you, dear
I make the others run and hide
New york streets seem to make it worse
All this noise inside the quiet
I can't hold on, the weight you bear
My body's broken fast, please lift me up
You can't know what it's like to be inside
The fading melodies can't beat my need
I'm not the same without you here
How can i quit to be there
Sit and stare
Stare..
I admit it...what's to say...yeah...
I'll relive it...without pain...mmm...
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I play...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah...
Oh, try and mimic what's insane...ooh, yeah...
I am in it...where do I stand?
Oh, Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet...I pray...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah...
You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time...
Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah...
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah...
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Once
Yeah...once, once...yeah, yeah...
I used to work in Chicago
In a department store.
I used to work in Chicago.
I did but I don't anymore.
A lady came in for some gloves one day.
"What will you have?" I said.
"Rubber," she said, and rub her I did.
I did but I don't anymore.
A lady came in for a hat one day.
"What will you have?" I said.
"Felt," she said, and feel her I did.
I did but I don't anymore.
Likewise other verses:
Cake ... layer ... layer her I did
Dress ... jumper... jump her I did
Shoe ... pump ... pump her I did
Poultry ... goose ... goose her I did
Meat ... neck ... neck her I did
do you see the way that tree bends?
does it inspire?
leaning out to catch the sun's rays
a lesson to be applied
are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
have you ideas on how this life ends?
checked your hands and studied the lines
have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
seems that needlessly it's getting harder
to find an approach and a way to live
are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
People walking
People running
People waiting
On a second coming
Believe you me...I do believe 2x
People laughing
People starving
People divide
'Cause the people crowding
Believe you me...I do believe 2x
And I don't want to say no more today
Oh ho I don't want to hear no more today
Oh hey hey hey I don't want to say no more oh ho
Oh come on
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Come on
Whoa
Oh I do believe...I feel it
I do believe...I feel it
I feel it 30x
Yeah
Yeh ha
Come on boys
Oh ho oh 3x
It don't matter what yeah
It only matters when the time has come yeah yeah yeah
To believe 4x
Now all the Sundays seem so blue
Just to change a week it is to blame
Don't wanna open any wounds
I just want to laugh again
Don't feel the Christmas without you
All the lights have turned to gray
The rain upon the passing cars
Blurrs your smile
Was it worth it?
I was gone so long
You deserve this
Just give our love this try
Was it worth it in the long run?
All the sunshine of your smile
Has been turning in the mist
Of my eyes
Tell me, are you leaving
Feel all lies
Was it worth it?
I was gone so long
You deserve this
Just give our love this try
Was it worth it in the long run?
In the long run
In the long run
I want for to lay down
I'm waiting till sundown
I'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine
Wait for the moment
The moment between us, the fire is made now
Harder to touch
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
With it, with you
Baker's dozen parades
Stand and debate
Out single file, nine in a row, swear if you must
Keeping your boots on, float with the now
Hot to the touch
Concrete underground, cast out everyday
Dregs of society
Underbelly, beside me, rejoice and follow thee
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
With it, with you.
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
Make myself a pact not to shut doors on the past
Just for today I am free
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
I know this one thing well
I used to try to kill love, was the highest sin
Breathing insecurity out and in
Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight
Pursuing the greater way for all human light
How I choose to feel is how I am
How I choose to feel is how I am
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
Holding on, the light of night
On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul
Again
Let me run into the rain
To be a human light again
Let me run into the rain
To shine a human light today
Life comes from within your heart and desire
Oh, life comes from within my heart and desire
Oh, life comes from within your heart and desire
Yeah, yeah
Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
Or been stepped on
Whatever the notions, we laced in our prayers
The man upstairs is used to all of this noise
I'm through with screaming
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
M.Y.T.H. is
Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear
We never listen
Voice inside so drowned out
Drowned you are, you are, you are everything
And everything is you
Me you, you me, it's all related
What's a boy to do?
Just be darling and I will be too
Don't even think about reaching me. I won't be home.
Don't even think about stopping by. Don't think of me at all.
I did a what I had to do. If there was a reason, it was you.
Aaah, don't even think about getting inside. Voices in my head. Ooh, voices.
I got scratches all over my arms. One for each day since I fell apart.
I did, oh, what I had to do. If there was a reason it was you.
Footsteps in the hall... It was you, you.
Oh, pictures on my chest... It was you. It was you...
I did a what I had to do. Oh, and if there was a reason... Oh, there wasn't no reason. no.
And if there's something you'd like to do. Oh, just let me continue to blame you.
A footsteps in the hall... It was you, you.
((All right, this is Neil Young's song. Let's hear it for Neil.))
Lonely drifter on the hill. Why do I?
One must have a heart of steel. Why do I?
It's not how you look but how you feel. Why do I?
You must have a heart of steel. Why do I?
Why do I keep fucking up?
I can see you on the hill. Why do I?
All comatose but walking still. Why do I?
Flowing curves beneath your flowing gown. Why do I?
Oh, only I can bring myself down. Why do I?
Why do I keep fucking up?
Bowman's pick and dogs that bite. Why do I?
Oh, dogs that howl through the night. Why do I?
Oh, broken leashes all over the floor. Why do I?
Keys left hanging in a swinging door. Why do I?
Why do I keep fucking up?
((Good night for music. See ya tomorrow.))
Some folks are born
Made to wave that flag
Ooh that red, white 'n blue
And when they play
'Hail to the Cheif'
Ooh they point the cannon at you, lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks are born
Silver spoon in hand
Lord don't they help themselves?
And when the taxman
Knocks on their door
Ooh the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaires son, no, no
Some folks are born
Starspangled eyes
Ooh they send you out to war
And when Australia asks
'How much do we get?'
Ooh they just ask for more and more and more and more and more and...
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaires son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no CIA son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, son, son
How good is he? How warm are his eyes?
You'll see it's not a reprise
Did he arrive too late and too tethered away to put on his suit and his tie?
How good is he? How warm is his heart or ego, telling him which place to park?
Did he relate? The message is clearly, hardly grounds for dismissal
outright... Grounds for dismissal outright...
I wake up and wait up
When anger's in fashion
I wake up and wait up
It echoes through the mansions
I wake up and wait up
When April's in May, oh, uh-oh
I wake up and wait up
The answers are fatal
The answers are fatal
I wake up and wait up
The answers are fatal
If he's truly out of sight, is he truly out of mind?
The mind is grey,... like the city
Packing in and overgrown
Love is deep,... dig it out
Standing in a hole alone
Working for something,.. that we can never hold
A place in the clouds.
Your place to hide oh my oh
I'm flying away, away
I'm driving away, away
The TV, she talks to me
Breaking news and building walls
Selling us, what I dont need
Didn't know soap made you taller
So I'm riding away, away
Hiding away, away
So much talk it makes no sense at all
So I'm flying away, away
Driving away, away
Passing old friends I don't miss at all
It doesn't hurt,.. when I bleed
BUt memories they eat me
I've seen it all before,..
Bring it on cause I'm no victim
Dying
so all you fools
who sing just like him
feel free to do so now
cuz he's dead
using, using, using
the using takes toll
isolation
just so happy to be one
sad to, sad to think
sad to think of him more
lonesome friend, we all knew
always hoped you'd pull through
no blame, no blame
no blame, it could be you
using, you can't grow old using
so sing just like him, fuckers
it won't offend him
just me
because he's dead
the direction of the eye
so misleading
the defection of the soul
nauseously quick
I don't question
our existence
I just question
our modern needs
I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone
after all is done
we're still alone
I won't be taken
yet I'll go...
I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone
I don't show...
I don't share...
I don't need
i want for to lay down, i'm waiting 'till sundown
i'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine, wait for the moment
the moment between us, the fire is made now, hot to the touch
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right with you
bakers dozen parades, stand and debate
out single file, nine in a row, swear if you must
keeping your boots on, float with the now, hot to the touch
concrete underground, cast out everyday, the dregs of society
underbelly, inside of me, rejoice and follow thee
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right with it, with you
with... you...
yeah
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right
i wanted to get right
Every night with the lights out where you gone? What's wrong?
Every time you can try but can't turn on, a rock song
I got some if you need it, I got some if you need it
I got some if you need it, I got some if you need it
Get it now, get it on, before its gone, let's everybody carry on, carry on
Get it now, set it off, before its gone, let's everybody carry on, carry on
Precipitation, which side are you on? Are you on the rise, are you falling down?

Get it now, get it on, before its gone, let's everybody carry on, carry on

Eí per noi un piacere augurarvi insieme
Ai R.E.M. un buon cetriolo
(It is a pleasure for us to wish you, together
with R.E.M., a merry cucumber)
I need a song to help along
When it feels wrong it seems so long
To get to the light
We live in homes talk on phones
Hear the tones can you hold
Moving fast as light TV's on at night
Does peace come out of fighting
Can truths come out of lying
I'm happy when I'm crying
If reality is what I see newspapers mag-azines TV
Tell's what's going on leading us along
It's not absurd to all get heard
Put our feelings into words
You have to reach inside no feelings to hide
Does peace from out of fighting
Can truth come out of lying
I'm happy when I'm crying
Bring children into the world
We couldn't have done it by ourselves
Stop and wonder why
There's more than meets the eye
Somewhere inside I did believe
I can't belong I was wrong
I have gained insight
I will see the light
Truth isn't lying
Peace isn't fighting
Love isn't dying
History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
Don't say the words you might regret
I lost before, you know I can't forget
There was a girl I used to know
She dealt my love a savage blow
I was so young, too blind to see
But anyway, that's history
And I say, history never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart
You say I always play the fool
I can't go on if that's the rule
Better to jump than hesitate
I need a change and I can't wait
I say, history never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart
Never repeats, whoa, oh
History never repeats (x2)
Deep in the night it's all so clear
I lie awake with great ideas
Looking about in no man's land
I think at last I understand
History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart
Ahhh
Give me,give me,what I really need (X2)
Hold me,hold me,hold me in my sleep
Give me,give me,what I really need
All our children in there,doing something swell
Spread out what begins my hell,there's nothing left in our way
Give me,give me,give me what I need
Oh,give me,oh hold me,oh treat me for today
What I'm talking about (X2)
Is just the kind of things,of the doubt
Give me,give me,give me...
Give me,give me,give me what I need
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Hold me,hold me,hold me in my sleep
Oh,hold me,hold me,hold me in my sleep
I'm sick and tired of hearing things,
from uptight, short sighted, narrow minded hypocrites,
all I want is the truth,
just gimme some truth,
I've had enough of reading things,
by neurotic, psychotic, pig headed politicians,
all I want is the truth,
just give us the truth,
No short haired, yellow bellied, son of tricky Dicky is
gonna mother hubbard, soft soap me with just a pocket full of oil,
money for oil,
money for oil.
I'm sick to death of seeing things,
by tight lipped, condescending, mommy's little chauvinists,
all I want is the truth,
just gimme some truth,
I've had enough of watching scenes,
of schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoia prima donnas,
all I want is the truth,
just give us the truth,
No short haired, yellow bellied, son of tricky Dicky is
gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a pocket full of oil,
money for oil,
money for oil,
No short haired, yellow bellied, son of George-Porgy is
gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a pocket full of oil,
it's money for oil,
no blood for oil,
I'm sick to death of hearing things,
from uptight, short sighted, narrow minded hypocrites,
all I want is the truth,
just gimme some truth,
I've had enough of reading things,
by neurotic psychotic, homophobic hypocrites,
all I want is the truth,
just give us the truth,
all we want is the truth,
just give us the truth,
we can handle the truth,
just give us some truth,
share with us the truth,
we'll give you our truth.
Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, feelin' maybe he'll see a little better set a days, ooh yeah
Oh hand out faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, ooh yeah
Oh, dark grin he can't help when he's happy, looks insane, yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know so he chases them away, yeah
Oh, someday, yeah, he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again
Kneeling, looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read
Feeling

Oh, ceilings few and far between all legal halls of shame
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know so he chases them away
Oh, someday yeah he'll begin his life again, yeah
Whispering hands gently lead him away
Him away, him away, yeah, yeah
Oh even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know so he chases them away
Ah, someday yeah he'll begin his life again, yeah
Whispering hands gently lead him away
Him away, him away, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Recorded by Fleetwood Mac.
Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna do
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
go your own way
(Instrumental solo)
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
(Instrumental solo)
You can go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way
You can call it... (fade out)

Gonna See My Friend lyrics
Do you want to hear something sad?
We are but victims of desire
I'm gonna shake this day
I wanna shake this day before I retire
I'm gonna see my friend
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm sick of everything
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
Well I said I... I won't be long before we all walk off the wire
Well I'm gonna see my friend, I'm gonna see my friend for what I require
Well I said I will come in quick
Don't want my flame to get no higher
I'm gonna see my friend
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm sick of everything
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm gonna see my friend
Gonna see my friend, make it go away
Want to leave it all.
Want to give it up.
Want to see it go once and for all
Want to view it cho
Want a little bit home
Want to be there...
Hard as a statue, black as a tattoo,
Gonna take me an astral plane
I'm gonna tunnel through denial
But I'm gonna shake this day
I wanna shake this day before I retire
I'm gonna see my friend
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm sick of everything
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm gonna see my friend
I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
But it's on the table
The fire's cooking
And they're farming babies
And the slaves are all working
Blood is on the table
The mouths are chokin'
I'm going hungry
I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
But it's on the table
The fire's cooking
And they're starving babies
And the slaves are all working
And it's on the table
The mouths are choking
So all you fools, who sang just like him
Feel free to do so now, cuz he's dead
Using, using, using, the using takes toll
Iso-lation, just so, happy to be one
Sad to, sad to think, sad to think of him all alone
Lonesome friend, we all knew
Always hoped, you'd pull through
No blame, no blame, no blame, it could be you
Using, you can't, grow old, using
So sing just like him, fuckers
it won't offend him
just me........because he's dead
Consider me an object
Free of all infliction
Free of all conditions
Free of ambitions
I've been sittin' upside down
And then i will swing
For all eternity
Never forward
Yes i know it
Oh feeling like
Its something i never thought you'd be a part of??
Bring me to a doctor?
Maybe an asylum?
Calling on decisions
Breathing amunition
Feeling righteous?
Yeah that's not forward
Feeling like there's something i never thought you'd be part of
Coming forward
Yeah forwards, backwards
Coming close yeah
Hang on
Sail on
I'm feeling forward
But backing off
Falling down
Yeah ive been sitting upside down
And then i will slip
For all eternity
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
It's time, I came to get mine
Runnin' through the hoods with a hand on the nine
Why do the pigs come when you have some?
Cross the line so I can get the blast on
Oh shit, I'm empty, but I got a shake on the side so
Don't even tempt me
Runnin' the program, Cypress Hill on the real
With the Pearl Jam and I'm packin' the steel
Don't come my way, 'cause it only takes one minute to
reach for the AK
Then why, whatcha' gonna do now
Nowhere to run when my dog's on the prow
Howlin', howlin', give it up punk, you might want to
throw the towel in
I like doin' the ill thing, 'cause ain't nothin' like
the real thing
It ain't nothin' like the real thing
It ain't nothin' like the real
Ain't nothin' but the real thing
Ain't nothin' but the Hill
Ain't nothin' but the real thing
Ain't nothin' but the real
Ain't nothin' but the real thing
Ain't nothin' but the Hill
Keep me a tazer up in the blazer
And the black nine by the wasteline
Never know when someone'll test ya'
Let you know I got mine by my body, yes y'all
I'm the big dumb that became the attacker
Have my little friend waitin' for the carjacker
That'll do anything for the looper
When I leave the Hill I strack when I swoop
Clack, clack, bang, bang, 'cause it ain't no thang
When I hang with Stone and I kick that funky slang
I got the funk when I got ta' do the ill thing
'Cause ain't nothin' like the real thing
Ain't nothin' like the real thing } (2x)
Ain't nothin but the real }
Ain't nothin' like the real thing } (2x)
Ain't nothin' but the Hill }
I heard about a man to whom I may be related. He's leatherman.
Died a long time ago in the 1880's. Leatherman. Leatherman.
Covered with leather but it wasn't tight. Underneath a moon in the woods at night.
Making the rounds ten miles a day. Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd say.
"Here he comes. He's a man of the land. He's leatherman
Smile on his face. Axe in his pack.
He's leatherman. Leatherman. Leatherman."
Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed.
He wasn't known to stay much but, "Thanks for the bread."
So, modern day I walk my way with my jacket faded just like a man of leather whom I may be related.
Rolled cigarette for which he'd ask for a light.
Appear to be an animal. Yet, so polite.
Making the rounds ten miles a day. Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd say
"Here he comes he's a man of the land. He's leatherman
Smile on his face. Axe in his hand.
He's leatherman. Leatherman. Leatherman."
Leatherman. Leatherman.
Shake his hand. He's leatherman. Bake some bread. He's leatherman.
Shame he's dead. I saw his bed.
It's all that's left of leatherman. Leatherman.
Give me some skin Leatherman.
We're all crazy
We're all crazy and we're {6X}
I don't need anyone don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no good advice don't need no human rights
I got some news for you don't even need you too
I got my time machine got my 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer ain't no loser
Got a sonic reducer sonic reducer
People out on the streets they don't know who I am
I watch them from my room they are just passing by
I'm not just anyone said I'm not just anyone
I got my time machine my little 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer ain't no loser oh
Sonic reducer sonic reducer ahhh
Nothing left here there's not really nothing left here
I'll be your bearer soon love on some cotton doom
Things will be different then the sun will rise from here
Then I'll be ten feet tall then you'll be nothing at all
I got my time machine got my 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer ain't no loser oh
Sonic reducer sonic reducer oh
Sonic reducer sonic reducer yeah
Sonic reducer sonic reducer sonic reducer oh
Sonic reducer sonic reducer (x3)
All in all, it's no one's fault
Excuses turn to carbon walls
Blame it all on chemical intercourse
The swallowed seeds of arrogance
Breeding in the thoughts of ten
Thousand fools who fight irrelevance
The full moon is dead skin
The one down here's wearing thin
So set up the ten pins
As the human tide rolls in
Like a ball that's spinning
Bombs dropping down
Overhead, underground
It's instilled, to wanna live
Bombs dropping down
Please forgive our hometown
In our insignificance
“Turn the jukebox up,' he said
Dancing in irreverence
Play C-3, let the song protest
The plates begin to shift
Perfect lefts come rolling in
I was alone and far away
When I heard the band start playing
On the lip, late take off
Bombs dropping down
Overhead, underground
It's instilled, to wanna live
Bombs dropping down
Please forgive our hometown
In our insignificance
Feel like resonance of distance
In the blood, the iron lies
It's instilled, to wanna live
Bombs dropping down
Please forgive our hometown
In our insignificance
In our insignificance
It's out of my hands, making all hands meet
Stumble as it's crumbling out of reach
It's in the cards of destiny
Your sanity in tow
Designate my luck
Resignate
This power has no roots to guide, no role
Trust me, rusted minds refuse to go
Unwillingness, it's meaningless
To walk away in vain
Designate my will
Designate my will
Resignate
My will is crashing, synapses flashing slow
Days like frame by frame, where do they go
Yeah, why fight Forget it
Can't I spend it after I go
Roll them high
Throw them again
All Gods' dice
Monkey driven, call this living, ha ha ha
Too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole
Minding yours, what's mine, not yours
Will finish us off
Designate my life
Designate a view
Designate my will, my will, my will, I will
Resignate my god
Fuck me in the brain (2x)
You fuckin' little cunt
You're drivin' me insane
Fuck me in the brain (2x)
You're drivin' me, drivin' me insane
Fuck me in my life...hah...
You wanted to be my wife, huh, huh, hah...
Fuck me in my brain, fuck...
I may be a...
I don't believe nothin', even if it's true, no...
Fuck me, fuck me, in my brain
Fuck me, my ears are open, in my brain
Fuck me
You think I care
'Bout those emotions you wear
You think I care
'Bout the way you wear your veil
You think our love, huh
Is so far above...oh...
Fuck me (7x)
She scratches a letter
Into a wall made of stone
Maybe, someday another child
Won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years and counting
Since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed
By some stupid fuck and Mommy agrees
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
She seems to be stronger
But what they want her to be is weak
She could play, pretend
She could join the game, boy
She could be another clone
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
What you taught me, put me here
Don't come visit, Mother
Sing it
Oh, why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
What you taught me, put me here
Now don't visit Mother, Mother
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
all my rivals will see what i have in store, my gun...
i've been harboring fleets in this reservoir, red sun...
and this nation's about to explode
your disciples are riddled with metaphors, well hung...
better pony up and bring both your barrelfulls, not one...
as we release this unspeakable toll...
(every grain of sand equals)
(all the stars and everyone)
how's our mother to damn these contributors...with mud?
how will the man who made chemicals difficult...shed blood?
All the photographs were peeling
and colors turned to gray
He stayed... in his room with memories for days
He faced... an undertow of futures laid to waste
Embraced... by the loss of what he could not replace
There is no reason that she passed
And there is no god with a plan
It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
It's sad... he could only love you
It's sad
The door swings to a passing fable
A fate we may delay
We say... holding on...delivered in our own brace
He let em as he laid in bed
hoping that dreams would bring her back
It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
It's sad... he could only love you
It's sad
Holding his last breath
Believing... he'll make his way
But she's not forgotten
He's haunted...he's searching for escape
If just one wish could bring her back
It's sad... and his lonliness is proof
It's sad... he will always love you
it's not all been said...been said and done...
i've never slept in satan's bed
although i must admit...still visits my place
uninvited, as you know, he don't wait
funny how he always seems to fit in
funny how i always want to give in
sundays, fridays, tuesdays, thursday, the same
sometimes the special guest, he don't like to leave
already...in love...
already...in love...
already...in love...
already...
who made, who made up, made up the myth
that we were born to be covered in bliss?
who set the standard, born to be rich?
such fine examples, skinny little bitch
model, role model, roll some models in blood
get some flesh to stick, so they look like us
i shit and i stink, i'm real, join the club
i'd stop and talk, but i'm already in love
already...in love...
already...in love...
already...in love...
already...
in love...ah ha ha ha...
ah torture...follows reward...
follows torture...follows reward...
oh, oh my butt...
never shook satan's hand, look see for yourself
you'd know it if i had, that shit don't come off
i'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both
jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
i'll never suck satan's dick...
again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips
i'll wait for an angel, but i won't hold my breath
'magine they're busy, think i'm doing okay...
already...in love...
already...in love...
already...in love...
Gonna save you fucker
Not gonna lose you
I'm feeling cocky and strong
Can't let you go
Too important to me and too important to us
We'd be lost without you
Baby, let yourself fall
I'm right below you now
And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear from me
And fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear from/fuck me if I care, but I'm not leaving here
You helped me when I was down
I'll help when you're down
Why are you hitting yourself--c'mon, hit me instead
Let's pick up your will; it's grown fat and lazy
I'm sympathetic as well
i took a drive today
time to emancipate
i guess it was the beatings made me wise
but i'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
i couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
hand on my face, pushed to the ground
enmity gauged, united by fear
forced to endure what i could not forgive...
i seem to look away
wounds in the mirror waved
it wasn't my surface most defiled
head at your feet, fool to your crown
fist on my plate, swallowed it down
enmity gauged, united by fear
tried to endure what i could not forgive
saw things
saw things
saw things
saw things
clearer
clearer
once you, were in my...
rearview mirror...
i gather speed from you fucking with me
once and for all i'm far away
i hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...
saw things so much clearer
once you, once you...
rearviewmirror...
saw things so much clearer
once you, once you...
We're, all crazy.We're all crazy at war.(Repeat both lines)
watched from the window, with a red mosquito
i was not allowed to leave the room
i saw the sun go down, and now it's coming up
somewhere in the time between
i was bitten, must have been the devil
he was just paying me...
a little visit, reminding me of his presence
letting me know, he's a-waiting... oh
red man's your neighbor, call it behavior
while you're climbing up slippery hills
two steps ahead of him, punctures in your neck
hovering just above your bed
hovering just above your bed
i was bitten, must have been the devil
he was just paying me...
a little visit, reminding me of his presence
and letting me know, he's a'waiting, he's a'waiting...
up there... yeah
if i had known then what i know now...
if i had known then what i know now...
if i had known then what i know now...
I see the world, feel the chill
Which way to go, windowsill
I see the world's on a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain
Oh, dear dad, can you see this now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
I'll hold the pain release me
Oh, dear dad, can you see this now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me
I'll open up release me, release me, release me, release me
I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
I've had enough of reading things
From neurotic, psychotic, big-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son of tricky dicky,
Is gonna Mother Hubbard, soft soap me
With just a pocketful hope
There's money for all
Money for all
I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-liped, condecending mommies little chauvanists
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
I've had enough of watching scenes from Mrs. Fanic,
Egocentric, paranoic prima-donnas
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son of tricky dicky,
Is gonna Mother Hubbard, soft soap me
With just a pocketful hope
There's money for all
Money for all
Ohhhhh!
*Guitar Solo*
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son of Georgie Borgie,
Is gonna Mother Hubbard, soft soap me
With just a pocketful hope
There's money for all
No blood for all
I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth
We can handle the truth
I'm sick to death of watching things
About neurotic, psychotic, big-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
All we want is the truth!
We can handle the truth!
Just give us some truth!
All we want is the truth!
We are asking for the truth!
Just give us some truth!
All we want is the truth!
Some fucking truth!]
No, I won't back down (2x)
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell, but I won't
back down
I will stand my ground, won't be turned around
I will keep my world from draggin' me down, I won't back
down
No, I won't back down
Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey, I will stand my ground
No, I won't back down
Oh, I know what' sright, I got just one life
I wil keep this world from pushin' me around, I'l lstand
my ground
No, I won't back down
Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out }
Hey, I will stand my ground } (2x)
And I won't back down }
And I won't back down, no I won't back down
I have faced it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again.
Having tasted, a life wasted
I'm never going back again.
I escaped it, a life wasted
I had a false belief
I thought I came here to stay
We're all just visiting
All just breaking like waves
The oceans made me, but who came up with love?
Push me, pull me, push me, or pull me out
Push me, pull me, or pull me out
So if there were no angels, would there be no sin?
You better stop me before I begin
But let me say: if I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in
the ground
Somewhere nice, make it nice
Where the land meets high tide
Push me, pull me, or pull me out
Push me, pull me
Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
I'm like an opening band for the sun
Push me, pull me
Oh please let it rain today
This city is so filthy, like my mind in ways
And oh where's the time, like a clean new taste
Smiling eyes before me, inches from my face
Wash my love
Wash my love
Wash my love
Sin the sale, buying just a need
Oh who planted all the devils seeds?
And what the truth and truth that lies at home
It's on the inside and I can't get it off
Wash my love
Wash my love
Wash my love
What's clean is pure, but hey I'm white on the outside, though I stray
What she don't know today might kill us both tomorrow
Bring it back someway bring it back, back, back
To the clean form, to the pure form
Wash my love
Wash my love
Wash my love
Wash my love
Wash my love
Wash my love
Wash my love
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar yet, I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place
I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
I swear, I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me, you wouldn't recall for I'm not my former
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream hello
Well, my God it's been too long
Never dreamed You'd return
But now here You are and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
I'm questioning my education
Is my education who i am now?
While you're deciding, i've been finding
Looking around in the here and now
If i've been taught from the beginning
Would my fears now by winning?
I'm questioning my own equation
Is my own equation relevant somehow?
The flags are waving, the news is breaking
See the man who can't pick out his own tie
If i've been taught from the beginning
Would my fears now be winning?
A wild world, figuring out the answers
I'll be in my own dance and iiii...
I'm questioning my education
Rewind and what does it show?
Could be, the truth it becomes you
I'm a seed, wondering why it grows
Drifting, drifting, drifting away.
I got myself a mansion, then I gave it away.
It's not the world that's heavy, just the things that you save.
And I'm drifting, drifting away.
Drifting, drifting, drifting along.
I rid myself of worries, and the worries were gone.
I only run when I want to and I sleep like a dog.
I'm just drifting, drifting along.
The suitcoats say, "There is money to be made."
They get so damn excited, but I guess it's their way.
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved.
It's good for drifting, drifting away.
The suitcoats say, "There is money to be made."
They get so damn excited, nothing gets in their way
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved.
It's good for drifting, drifting away.
Drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh.
I feel like going back there, but never for long.
I sometimes wonder if they know that I'm gone.
I'm just drifting, drifting along.
Drifting, drifting along. Drifting, drifting along.
Down. Fall by the wayside no getting out.
Down. Cry me a river dried up and dammed.
The names can be changed but the place is still the same.
I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down.
Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
Rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
One day the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.
Won't let the light escape from me.
Won't let the darkness swallow me.

She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
Wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say, what to say
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past a holy no
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold, oh, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
And to this day, she's glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing to say, what a waste
When she had contact with the conflict
There was meanin', but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh
She gave him away
When she couldn't hold, no, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh
Couldn't hold on, she couldn't hold, no, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place, oh

Sailing on my every step. Inching off of the earth.
Is magnified by the things I've done.
The thing that I've become.
Every lift of my hand. Coffee cup up, and back.
Is magnified by the things I've done. The things I've seen. the things I've caused.
I'm a dead man walking.
The hammer that I once brung down now hovers over me.
Cast a shadow across, onto me.
The hallways are all mocking me.
What I've become they're all mocking me.
I'm a dead man walking. A dead man walking. A dead man walking.
Tried to remember but my feelings get old for sure
Tried to recall but it's gone
Lucky stars in your eyes
I'm walking the cow
I really don't know how I came here
I really don't know why I'm staying here
I'm walking the cow
Tried to point my finger but the wind keeps blowin' me around
In circles, in circles
Lucky stars in your eyes
I'm walking the cow
I really don't know what I have to fear
I really don't know why I have to care
I'm walking the cow
Lucky stars in your eyes...
Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
Crashed and on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions; others walked away
A snowflake falls in may.
And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.
Nature has its own religion; gospel from the land
Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend
Old men comprehend.
And the sky breaks at dawn; shedding light upon this town
They'll all come around
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
G'bye for now.
And the road
The old man paved
The broken seams along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah
We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Yeah!
C'mon, yeah
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get
She get
She get
She get high
I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, oww!
Oh, yeah!
Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, "I wanna leave it again"
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave her again
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah
And they called and I said that I'll go
And I said that I'll call out again
And the reason I ought ta leave her calm, I know
I said, "I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag"
Oh yeah, can you see them, out on the porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them 'round the front way, yeah
And I know, and I know I don't wanna stay
Make me cry
I see oh, I don't know why there's something else
I want to, wanna drum it all away
I said, "I don't, I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag"
Oh yeah, can you see them, out the on porch?
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them 'round the front way
And I know, and I know I don't want to stay at all
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
She lived on a curve in the road, in an old tar-paper shack
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say:
"Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?"
Sometimes we did but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary
Down along the road, past the Parson's place
The old blue car we used to race
Little country store with a sign tacked to the side
Said "No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G allowed"
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
One night thunder cracked mercy backed outside her windowsill
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary
Bare bulb on, newspaper-covered walls, and Mary rising up above it all
Next morning on the way into town
Saw some skid marks, and followed them around
Over the curve,through the fields, into the house of Mary
That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway
That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Consider me an object
Put me in a vacuum
Free of all conditions
Free of air and friction
Yea, I'll be hanging upside down.
And there I will swing
For all eternity
Fell it rising, yea next stop falling
Feel it rising, comatose, with no fear of falling
Consider me an abscess
Leave me in my vacuum
Blood on all the pistons
Running my transmission
Feel it rising, yea next stop falling
Feel it rising, comatose, with no fear of falling
Feel it rising, yeah next stop falling
Feel It rising
High above I'll break the law,
if it's illegal to be in love,
leave the hatred, on the cross
yea I'll be hanging upside down and here I will swing
for all eternity
feel it rising, yea next stop falling
feel it rising, comatose with no fear of falling
feel it rising, yea, next stop falling
feel it rising
something never thought you'd be part of
Don't be shy
Just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear
Or nobody will no you're there
Just lift your head
And let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy
Just let your feelings roll on by
On by x6
You know love
Is better than a song
Love is where
All of us belong
So don't be shy
Just let your feelings roll on by
And don't wear fear
Or nobody will know you're there
You're there, you're there x4
So don't be shy
Just let your feelings roll on by
And don't wear fear
Or no one will know you're there
You know love is better than a song
Love is where
All of us belong
Belong x4
The "Crown of Thorns" lyrics from the album "PJ20" to be released by Columbia Records september 20th.
You ever hear the story of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
I've been talkin' to my alter, says "Life is what you make it
And if you make it death well rest your soul away, away, away"
It's a broken kind of feeling, she'd have to tie me to the ceiling
A bad moon's comin', better say your prayers
I wanna tell her that I love her, but does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you dragging down again, again, again
So I'm singing, oh this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's some kind that leaves me alone, you know
Oh this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone
I used to treat you like a lady, now you're my substitute teacher
This bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight
I owe the man some money, so I'm turnin over honey
Yes, Mr. Faded Glory is once again doin' time, yeah
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone
Now this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that, it's the kind that
Leaves me alone
Like a crown of thorns
It's all who you know
So don't burn your bridges, woman
'Cause someday, yeah
So I'm singing
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves you alone, yeah
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that, kind that leaves me alone
Like a crown of thorns
It's all who you know
Come on, come on, come on
Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins...center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...
She holds the hand that holds her down
She will...rise above...ooh...oh...
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...
The shades go down
The shades go down
The shades go, go, go...

'cause i didnt get nothin' but fear
Understand she's a force of nature
Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Exercising her will to lose control
she lets go
A common man he don't stand a chance no
Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole
no way to save someone who wont take the rope
and just lets go
One man stands the edge of the ocean
a beacon on dry land
eyes upon the horizon
in the dark before the dawn
hurricane has the trade winds blowing
A gale force shaking windows in the storm
shipwrecked on a rock that he calls home
With one light on
Somewhere there's a siren singing
A song only he hears
All the strength you might think would
disappear resolving
one man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
Eyes upon the horizon
in the dark before the
darkness leaves the dawn
Makes me ache
Makes me shake
Is it so wrong to think that
Love can keep us safe?
Last I saw he was out there waiting
a silhouette in the black light full moon glow
in the sand there he stands upon the shore
Forevermore
somewhere there's a siren singing
A song only he hears
All the strength
that you might think
would disappear, resolving
one man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
eyes are closed, you cannot know
but his heart don't seem to roam...
Roam...
I seem to recognize your face, haunting familiar yet i cant seem to place it
Cannot find a candle of thought, to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me,
all these changes taking place, i wish i'd seen the place
But no ones ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade,faaaaade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade,faaaaade away
I swear i recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising,
me, you wouldnt recall, for im not my former
Its hard when, your stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate,
Perhaps thats what no one wants to see,
I just want to scream hello,
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
Now here you are, and here i am
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away(3x)
