Memories, like fingerprints, are slowly raising. Me you wouldn't recall for I'm not my former. It's hard when your stuck upon the shelf. I changed by not changing at all. Small town predicts my fate.

Triumphant are the angels if they can get there first. Yea... Little secrets, tremors, turned to quake. The smallest oceans still get big, big waves. Yea... 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.
NothingmanSome 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 of lightning. Cursed the day he let it go. 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... Oh well... And he who forgets will be destined to remember. Oh, oh, oh... Nothingman... Isn't it something, nothingman? Oh, she don't want him (she don't want him). Oh, she won't feed him after he's flown away. Oh, into the sun. Yea, into the sun. Burn, ah burn, burn... Nothingman...

CorduroyI take your entrance back. Can't 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 can't walk. Guess I lie alone just like before. I'll take the varmints path. Oh, and I must refuse your test. A-push me and I will resist. This behavior'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 wait 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 off in blood let I be wed. I'm already cut up and half dead. I'll end up alone like I began. Yea... Everything has chains. Absolutely nothing's changed. "Take my hand, not my picture." Spilled my teacher. 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. Can't buy what I want because it's free. Can't be what you want because I... Why ain't it susposed to be just fun? Oh, to live and die let it be done. I figure I'll be damned. All alone like I began. It's your move now. I thought you were a friend but I guess, I... I guess I hate you.
BugsI 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 questions... 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 taking 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 and with them I'll become one.
Satan's BedI'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, Thursdays the same. Sometimes this special guest he don't like to leave. 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... Ah ha ha ha... Torture follows reward, follows torture, follows reward. Oh, oh my word. 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. Amagine they're busy. Think I'm doing okay. Already in love. Already...
Better ManIt'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. Ohh... Talking 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 him 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. Yeah. 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. Ohh... ohh... Uh huh... Ohh...
Aye DavanitaJahooha... jahooha... Awooha... Aye davanita. Awooha... Awooha...
ImmortalityVengeance 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 I wish to hold on too, but saw the trapdoor in the sun. Immortality. I cannot stop the thought of running in the dark. Coming up a which way sign. All good truants must decide. Oh, stripped and sold mom. An auctioned forearm and whiskers in the sink. Truants move on, cannot stay long. Some die just to live... Ohh...

No CodeSometimesYou're god and you've got big hands. 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. Sometimes I reach to myself, dear god.
Hail, HailAre we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got? I get the words and then I get to thinking. I don't want to think, I want to feel. And how do I feel? And how do I... If you're the only one will I never be enough? Yeah. Hail hail the lucky ones. I refer to those in love. Yeah. Oh, how I'll love you til 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? Yeah. Hail hail the lucky ones. I refer to those in love. Yeah. 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. Yeah. All hail the lucky ones. I refer to those in love. Yeah. If you're my only one, so could you only one? I want to be your one. Enough! You won no one. You're one.
Who You AreTranscendent to consequences. To transcend where we are. Who are we? Who we are. Trampled marks on your souls. Changes, all you're a part. Seen it all. Not at all. Can't defend fucked up men. Take me for a ride before we leave. Circumstance. Clapping hands. A driving winds. Happenstance. Off the track, in the mud. That's the marks before mentioned words. And a little... Wow... And a little... Just a little time before we leave. Stop light plays its part so I would say you've got a part. What's your part? Who you are. You are who who you are.
In My TreeNewspapers matter not to me. Yeah. No, no more crowbars to my head. Yeah. I'm trading stories with the leaves instead. Yeah. I wave to all my friends. Yeah. They don't seem to notice me. No. Ah, their eyes strait on the street. Yo! Oh... Sidewalks cigarettes and seams. Yeah. Yeah... 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 deep 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. They say knowledge is a tree. Yeah. It's growing up just like me. Yeah. I'm so light the wind me shakes. I'm so high the sky I scrape. Yea, I'm so high I hold just one breath, to go back to my nest, to sleep with innocence. Up here so high the boughs they break. Up here so high the sky I scrape. And my eyes feel both wide open. And I got a glimpse of my inner sense. Got back my innocence. Still got it. Still got it.
SmileWhen the sun don't shine, (it don't shine at all.) Don't it make you smile? Don't it make you smile? Don't it make me smile? Yeah. When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all. Yeah.

Swirls all around, yeah. I miss you all day. Don't it make you smile? Three crooked hearts. Swirls all around. Don't it make you smile?
Off He GoesKnow 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 moving much too fast. Said he'll see me on the flipside of this trip he's taking for a ride. He's been taking too much on. There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes. There he goes. He's yet to come back but I see his picture. It doesn't look the same up on the rack. We go way back. I wonder about 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 going to happen next. Before his first step he is off again.
HabitSeen it happen and the message it sends. Takeing off for what's an obvious fall. 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 it's 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. I never thought you... Never thought you. Never thought you'd habit. I never thought you... Never never thought you. Never thought you'd habit. Speaking as a child of the 90's... Never thought you'd habit. I never thought you... Never thought you. Never thought you'd habit. I never thought you... Never never thought you. Never... Never me. Never you. Never me.
Red MosquitoI 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. Ohh... 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. 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 ohh there. Yeah. If I had known then what I know now...
LukinI'll take a walk so I could curse my ass for being dumb. I'll make a right, after the arches, stinking grease and bone. Stopped at the supermarket people stare like I'm a dog. I'm going to Lukin's. I've got a spot at Lukin's. I knocked the door at Lukin's. Open the fridge. Now I know life is worth. I found 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 days work's never done. The last I heard that freak was purchasing a fucking gun.
Present TenseLeaning 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, ohh, or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who can 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, ohh, or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself. Oh, ohh. Makes more sense to live in the present tense.
MankindI'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 faking it? I'll be playing with my magazine, using up my Listerine, like Ovaltine. And you'll be dipping 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 faking it? If it's just inadvertent imitation. A pattern in all mankind. What's got the whole world faking it? What's got the whole world faking... What's got the whole world faking it? Yeah.
I'm OpenHe 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, Come in. I'm open, Yeah... Woo... Come in. Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers he decides to dream. Dream up a new self for himself.
Around The BendMind a peace within your cell. Covers up I cast you off. I'll be watching as you breathe. I lie still, you move, I 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. All 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. You're an angel when you sleep. How I want your soul to keep on, and on, around the bend.

FaithfullIt's rare to come appon a bridge that has not been around, or been stepped on. Whatever the notion we lace in our prayers, the man upstairs is used to all of this noise. I'm through with screaming. It echoes. Nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes. Like echoes. Nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes, like this. We're faithfull. We all believe, we all believe it.

Voice inside so drowned out. Drowned... You are, you are, you are a furry thing. And everything is you. Me you, you me, it's all related. What's a boy to do? Just be a darling and I will be too, faithfull to you.
No WayOf 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 side nerve. To the ocean of my platitudes, longitudes, latitudes. It's so absurd. I just need someone to be there for... Yeah. 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.

I'm not trying to make a difference. No way. No way. No way. Let's call in an angel. Who's calling an angel?
Given To FlyA 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. Deliver 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. This 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 gets 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. I'm flying, oh. High flying, oh. He's flying, oh. High, oh, oh.
WishlistI 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 clouds. Or 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 fool 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...
PilateLooking in, drawing circles down. Falling up, then south, marking ground. Talking out of turn, drawing circles down. Like Pilate I have a dog. Walks me out of town. Still one's 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. You down... Like Pilate I have a dog. Obeys, listens, kisses, loves. Like Pilate I have a dog.

EvacuationTime to take heed and change direction. Time to take stock and make omissions. Evacuation. Evacuation. Time to take leave all formal functions. Time to plant seeds of a reconstruction. No time this time to feign reluctance. It's like your waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way. Bets put aside you're evil. Lets crawl into your face. A vision vague or not raising a frightful wake you up. Time for evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. There was a solemn man. Watched his twilight disappear. In the sand. altered by a falling eagle. A warning sign. Sign. He sensed that worry could be strength with a plan he said, "Time for evacuation." Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation.
Light YearsI 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 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 lights 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. Oh, you got to spend it all. And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go. It don't seem fair. You seam to like it here. Your lights 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 lights reflected now. Reflected from afar. We were by stones. Your light made us stars.
Nothing As It SeemsAnd all these words elope. It's nothing like your poem. Putting in. Inputting in. Don't feel like methadone. A scratching voice all alone it'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 corner stone. 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. It's nothing as it seems. The little that you see it's home.
Thin AirThere'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 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.
InsignificanceBlame it all on chemical intercourse. The swallowed seeds of arrogance breeding in the thoughts of ten-thousand fools that 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. On the ground. It's instilled to want to 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 began to shift. Perfect lefts come rolling in. I was alone and far away, hey. When I heard the band start playing. On the lip they take off. Bombs dropping down overhead. Underground. It's instilled to want to 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 want to live. Bombs dropping down. Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance. Oh, in our insignificance, oh.
Of The GirlFills it up with his past. Gets carried away. Oh half his life a hand me down wasted away. Oh 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. How he makes his getaway. Get away.
GrievanceBottom of bottle of denial. Big eye, big eye watching me. Have to wonder what it sees. Sin. Progress laced with ramifications. Freedom's big punch. Oh. Pull the innocent from a crowd. Raise those sticks them bring them down. If they fail to obey. Ah, if they fail to obey. Yeah yeah. 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. Everyone. Break the innocent when they're proud. Raise those stakes then bring them down. If they fail to obey. Yeah, ha, if they fail to obey. Pledge your grievance to the flag. Cause, 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 part of the scene. I want to taste everyone I see. I want to run when I'm up high. I want to run to the sea. I want life to be. I just want to be. I will feel alive as long as I am free.
RivalI've been harboring fleets in this reservoir. Red sun. And this nations' about to explode. You're disciples are riddled with metaphors. Well hung. Better pony up and bring both your barrels full. Not one. As we release this unspeakable toll. Woh. Happy idols ??? can crawl. [not sure about this line] All the sound and acting well. [not sure about this line] Ahh. How's our mother to damn these contributors. With mud. How will the man who made chemicals difficult. Shed blood. How's our father supposed to be told. I don't... ...know.
Sleight Of HandSomething 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 his 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 the radio watching other pull into their homes. While he was drifting. On a line of his own. Off the line of the side. Bye 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. And he knew realizations would have to wait. Till he had more time. More time. A time to dream to himself. He waves goodbye to his self. I'll see you on the other side. Another man moved by slight of hand.
Soon ForgetThinks 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 hi-rise rent. Seem the more you make equals the loneliness you get. And it's fitting. He's barley living a day he'll soon forget. That's one more time around and there is not a sound. He's lying dead clutching Benjamins. Never put the money down. He's stiffening. We're all whistling a man we'll soon forget.
Parting WaysShe knows their futures 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 thought he's too big a man to say there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways. Drifting away. Drifting away. Drifting away. Away. Away. Drifting away. Drifting away. Drifting away. Away. Away.

Baba O'RileyThe WhoOut here in the fields, I fight for my meals. I get my back into my livin'. I don't need to fight to prove I'm right. I don't need to be forgiven. Don't cry, don't brace 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... They're all wasted!

Crazy MaryOn 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 a long dirt road, past the Parson's place. That 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. 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. Terrible thoughts, 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... Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around.
Dead ManInching 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 brought down Now hovers over me... Casts a shadow...a cross unto me. The hallways are all mocking me... What I've become... they're all mocking me... I'm a dead man walking.
FootstepsDon't even think about stoppin' by. Don't think of me at all. I did what I had to do. If there was a reason, it was you. Don't even think about gettin' inside. Voices in me head...but it says... I got scratches all over my arms... One for each day since I fell apart. I did what I had to do. If there was a reason it was you. Footsteps in the hall...it was you. Pictures on my chest...it was you...it was you. I did what I had to do, and if there was a reason, There wasn't no reason, no. And if there's something you'd like to do, Just let me continue to blame you. Footsteps in the hall, it was you. Pictures on my chest, it was you.

Hold OnI 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... Hold on...
I Believe In MiraclesThe RamonesI believe in a better world for me and you... I will get by... I will survive... Survive... I will get by... I'll survive...
I Got IdIt's been a month since I've heard myself talk. All the advantage this life's got on me, Picture a cup in the middle of the sea. And I fight back in my mind... Never let's me be right... 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 bed. Oh, goodnight, I've seen him. If just once I could feel loved... Oh, stare back at me... I walked the line when you held me in that night. I walked the line when you held my hand that night. I walked the line when you held me close that night. I paid the price, never held you in real life...
I Got YouI 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. 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.

Last KissThe lord took her away from me. She's gone to heaven so I 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, strait 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 screaming tires, the busting 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 got to be good, So I can see my baby when I leave this world. When I woke up, the rain was pouring down. There were people standing all around. Something warm flowing 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'd miss. 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 got to be good, So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
LeathermanDied a long time ago in the 1880's...leatherman, leatherman. Covered with leather, but it was tight. Underneath the moon in the woods at night... Makin' the rounds ten miles a day, Once a month they'd spot him, here's what they'd say... "Here he comes, he's a man of the land. He's leatherman. Smile on his face, an axe in his pack. He's leatherman." Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed. Wasn't known to say but "Thanks for the bread." So modern day I walk my way, my jacket faded, Just like a man of leather whom I may be related. Rolled a cigarette, but when he asked for a light, I thought he'd be an animal, but so polite. Makin' 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, an axe in his hand. He's 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. Give me some skin, leatherman.

Long RoadVedderAll the precious moments...cannot stay. It's not like wings have fallen...cannot stay. But still something's missing...cannot say. Holding hands of daughters and sons, And their faiths are falling down. I have wished for so long... How I wish for you today. Will I walk the long road? Cannot stay... There's no need to say goodbye... All the friends and family. All the memories going round. I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today. And the wind keeps rollin', And the sky keeps turning gray. And the sun is set... The sun will 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...

Rocking In The Free WorldNeil YoungPeople 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. I see a girl in the night with a baby in her hands, Under an old street light, 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. There's a thousand points of light for the homeless man. There's a kinder, gentler machine gun hand. There's department stores, and toilet paper, Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer. There's a man of the people, says "Keep hope alive." Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive. Keep on rockin' in the free world.
Save It For LaterBut I'll be a sucker for it. Don't you cry to your mother, Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it. Sooner or later, You'll live the way you think about. Save it for later, Don't runaway, don't let me down. Sooner or later, You'll hit the ditch, and he'll find out. Save it for later, don't Runaway, runaway...
Soldier Of LoveLay down your arms and love me peacefully. Use your arms for squezing, and please, I'm the one that loves you so. There ain't no reason for you to declare War on the one who loves you so. So forget the other boys because my love is real. Come off your battlefield. Lay down your arms and surrender to me. Lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Use your arms for squezing, please, That's the way it's gotta be. The weapons you're using are hurting me bad, But someday you're going to retreat. 'Cause my love, baby, is the truest you've ever had. A soldier of love that's hard to beat. Lay down your arms and surrender to me. Lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Use your arms to hold me tight. Baby I don't wanna fight no more. Use your arms to hold me tight. Baby I don't wanna fight no more. Oh baby, lay down your arms. Please baby lay down your arms.
State Of Love And TrustSin still plays and preaches, but to have an empty court... And the signs are passin', grip the wheel, can't read it. Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands. And I listen for the voice inside my head...nothin'. I'll do this one myself. Lay her down as priest does. Should the Lord be countin'? Will be in my honor. Make it pain, painfully quick... Promises are whispered in the age of darkness. Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end. And the barrel shakes, and directly at my head. Oh, help me, help me from myself. And I listen from both sides of a friend...nothin'. I'll do this one myself. Hey, na, na, na, na, hey, that's something... Wanna back, back it away... And I listen for the voice inside my head...nothin'. I'll do this one myself. And the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head. Won't you help me? Help me from myself... State of love and trust... And a state of love and trust... And a state of love and trust... State of love and....

Timeless MelodyThe LasWhenever the truth reminds me A melody chord untie my head The melody chord unwinds me The rythm of life unties me Busting a silent tower hand... If you look with your mind, Do you know what you will find? Open your mind... Even the words they fail me Oh quite unstill, they sail me It's only a word what I want to say It's only a word believe me If only the world could see me I lie silent, won't you, and... If you look with your eyes Do you know what you will find? Open your mind... The melody always finds me Whenever the chord reminds me I'm breaking a chain inside my head The melody chord unwinds me The rythm of life unties me Burning a silent tower hand... If you look with your mind, Do you know what you will find? Open your mind...
TroubleCat StevensI have seen your face and it's too much for me today. Trouble, oh trouble can't you see, You're eating my heart away and there's nothing much left of me. I've drunk your wine. You have made your world mine, So won't you be fair...oh won't you be fair. I don't want no more of you, so won't you be kind to me, Just let me go there. I have to go there. Trouble, oh trouble move away. I have seen your face and it's too 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 can see death's disguise Hangin' on me...oh hangin' on me... I'm beat and torn. I'm shattered and lost and worn... Too shocking to see...too shocking to see. Trouble, oh trouble please be kind. I don't want no fight and I haven't got a lot of time.
Yellow LedbetterThen 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. On a weekend I wanna wish it all away. 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 box or a bag." Can you see them? Out on the porch, but they don't wave... I see them 'round the front way... And I know and I know I don't want to stay... Make me cry... I see...I don't know why there's something else... I wanna drum it all away... I said "I don't...I don't know whether (it) was a box or a bag." Can you see them? Out on the porch, but they don't wave... I see them 'round the front way... And I know, and I know, I don't wanna stay at all... I don't wanna stay...I don't wanna stay...

Naked EyeThe WhoThe stars are all connected to the brain. Find me a woman and lay down on the ground. Her pleasure comes falling down like rain. Get myself a car, I feel power as I fly, Now I'm really in control. It all looks fine to the naked eye, But it don't really happen that way at all, Don't really happen that way at all. Don't happen that way at all. You sign your own name, and I sign mine. They're both the same, but we still get separate rooms. You can cover up your guts, but when you cover up your nuts, Your admitting that there must be something wrong. Press any button, and milk and honey flows. The world begins behind your neighbor's walls. It all looks fine to the naked eye, But it don't really happen that way at all. Don't happen that way at all. Don't really happen that way at all. You hold the gun and I hold the wound, And we stand looking in each other's eyes. Both think we know what's right, both know we know what's wrong. We tell ourselves so many, many lies. We're not pawns in any game, we're not tools of bigger men, There's only one who can really move us all. It all looks fine to the naked eye, But it don't really happen that way at all. Don't happen that way at all.
PatriotSteve Van ZandtAnd 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...

To wanna live Bombs dropping down, please forgive Our hometown in our insignificance Oh in our insignificance

Masters of warBob DylanYou that build the death place, you that build all the guns You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks I just want you to know, I can see through your masks You that never done nothing, but to build and destroy You play with my world, like its your little toy You put a gun in my hand, then you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farher as the fast bullets fly Like judas of old, you lie and deceive A world war can be won, and you want me to believe But I see through your eyes, and I see through your brain Like I see through the water that runs down my drain You that fasten all the triggers, for the others to fire Then you sit back and watch, while the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion, while young people's blood Flows out their bodies and is buried in the mud You've thrown the worst fear, that could ever be hurled Fhe fear to bring children, into this world For threatenin' my baby, unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins How much do I know, to talk out of turn? You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm 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 could? 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 follow your casket, in the pale afternoon And i'll watch as your lowered, into your deathbed And i'll stand on your grave till I'm sure that your dead

People have the powerPatti SmithWe live in aspect bright and fair And my sleeping it was broken But my dream it lingered near In the form of shining valleys Where the pure air recognized And my senses newly opened Cuz I awakened to the cry That the people have the power To redeem the work of fools Upon the meek the graces shower Well it's decreed, the people rule People have the power People have the power People have the power Vengeful aspects became suspect And bending low as if to hear And the armies ceased advancing Because the people had their ear And the shepherds and the soldiers Well they laid beneath the stars Exchanging visions and laying arms To waste in the dust In the form of shining valleys Where the pure air recognized And my senses newly opened Cuz I awakened to the cry People have the power People have the power People have the power Deserts I saw fountains And like cream the waters rise And we strolled there together With none to laugh or criticize Well, and the leopard And the lamb They lay together truly bound Well I was hoping in my hoping To recall what I had found I was dreaming in my dreaming God knows a purer view As I surrender into my sleeping I commit my dream to you People have the power People have the power People have the power The power to dream, to rule, To wrestle the world from fools It's decreed, the people rule It's decreed, the people rule Listen! I believe everything we dream Can come to pass through our union We can turn the world around We can turn the earth's revolution We have the power People have the power The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power

I could take a walk again Up a mountain to a stream Standing on the open rock Looking out over the sea Funny when we move ahead Never worry what we leave behind Remember what a friend of mine said You gotta be kind Take a walk, take a walk Take a walk, take a walk You gotta be kind Take a walk, take a walk Take a walk, take a walk...

How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

The Basketball DiariesCatholic boyJim CarrollLeft in my mother's stand I spat at that surgeon and his tremblin' hand When I felt for life, I was the nursery boy I stole the doctors scalpel and I slit the cord... I was a catholic boy... I was redeemed through pain, not through joy... I was two months early, they put me under glass I screamed and cursed at children when the nurses passed Was convicted of theft as I slid from the womb They led me straight from my stroller to a cell in the tombs... I was a catholic boy... Redeemed through pain, not through joy... They starved me for weeks, they thought they'd teach me fear I fed on cell-mates trees, it gave me flyin' ideas When they cut me loose, the time it served you well I made allies in heaven, comrades in hell I was a catholic child... With the grand red...the grand wild... I make angels dance and drop to their knees When I enter a church the feet of statue bleed I understand the faith of all my enemies With that christ and the god, it's never me... I'm a catholic boy... I was redeemed through pain and not through joy... I watched his sweetest psalms stolen by the choir I dreamed of all his bones hangin' from a wire I take the contribution, I get absolution I make the resolution to verify my soul... I'm a catholic boy... Redeemed through pain, not through joy... And they can't touch me now, I got every size of the... They got baptism, I got penance I got communion, I got extreme... Man...i got confirmation... I was a catholic boy... Redeemed through pain and not through joy... And now, I'm a catholic man... I put my tongue to the rail whenever I can...

KerouacHymnJack KerouacIn the morning, ah god... And the people were slippin on ice in the street Twice, twice Two different people came over, goin to work So earnest and tryful, clutching their pitiful morning daily news Slip on the ice and fall Both inside five minutes And I cried, I cried That's when you taught me, tears Ah god, in the morning, ah thee And me leaning on the lamppost wiping eyes Eyes, nobody's know i'd cry Or woulda cared anyway But oh, I saw my father And my grandfather's mother And the long lines of chairs And tear sitters and dead Ah me, I knew god You had better plans than that So whatever plan you have for me Splitter of majesty Make it short, brief, make it snappy Bring me home to the eternal mother Today, at your service anyway And until...

Fought tradition, no one's safe from harm. Wait a little, cup and curse these arms. After having seen all that they saw, It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine... Things were different then, all is different now... I tried to explain, some how... Things were different then, all is different now... I tried to explain, I hope this works somehow...

Mom IIThe Whale songShips 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 are too proud. They swim. It's really free. It's a beautiful thing to see. They sing. Hunters of land. Hunters of sea. Explored anything formally. 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 won't fight back. They won't fight back. They won't fight back. They won't fight back. They don't know how. They won't fight back. They won't fight back. They won't fight back.

I'm The OceanNeil YoungI was driving way too fast Couldn't stop though So I let the moment last I'm for rollin' I'm for tossin' in my sleep It's not guilt though It's not the company I keep People my age They don't do the things I do They go somehwere While I run away with you I got my friends And I got my children too I got her love She's got my love too I can't hear you But I feel the things you say I can't see you But I see what's in my way Now I'm floatin' Cause I'm not tied to the ground Words I've spoken Seem to leave a hollow sound On the long plain See the rider in the night See the chieftain See the braves in cool moonlight Who will love them When they take another life Who will hold them When they tremble for the knife Voicemail numbers On an old computer screen Rows of lovers Parked forever in a dream Screaming sirens Echoing across the bay To the old boats From the city far away Homeless heroes Walk the streets of their hometown Rows of zeros On a field that's turning brown They play baseball They play football under lights They play card games And we watch them every night Need distraction Need romance and candlelight Need random violence Need entertainment tonight Need the evidence Want the testimony of Expert witnesses On the brutal crimes of love I was too tired To see the news when I got home Pulled the curtain Fell into bed alone Started dreaming Saw the rider once again In the doorway Where she stood and watched for him Watched for him I'm not present I'm a drug that makes you dream I'm an aerostar I'm a cutlass supreme In the wrong lane Trying to turn against the flow I'm the ocean I'm the giant undertow I'm the ocean I'm the ocean I'm the giant undertow I'm the ocean I'm the giant undertow I'm the ocean I'm the ocean I'm the ocean
Big Green CountryNeil YoungLeather bang pounding on his back Above the clouds the moon was climbing higher A pack of wolves wanted their money back With folded arms the chief stood watching Painted braves slipped down the hill In his ears the spirit talking As they closed in For an easy kill At the house the door was wide open Wind blew curtains off the rod She was waiting and hoping She was praying to her god He was luckier than most men He was barely in his prime As she stood their in the doorway Her long dress flowing Would he make it this time Over the hill in the big green country That's the place where the cancer cowboy rides Pure as the driven snow before it got him Sometimes I feel like he's all right Sometimes I feel like a piece of paper Sometimes I feel like my own name Sometimes I feel different later Sometimes I feel I feel just the same
Truth Be KnownNeil YoungSays he used to know you when And your dreams Lucky as they seemed They all turned their back on him Truth be known Truth be known Way I feel tonight Living in this back street town 'bout my dreams They all seem to fade As soon as I put my money down Truth be known When the fire that once was your friend Burns your fingers to the bone And your song meets a sudden end Echoing through right and wrong Truth be known Truth be known

Throw Your Hatred DownNeil YoungWe place our theories down Why man must bring us to our knees Before he sees the weakness of his sinful plan The power in his hand Will never touch a friend Throw your hatred down Throw your hatred down Meanwhile in the underworld The weaknesses are seen By peasants and presidents Who plan the counter-scheme Children in the schoolyard Finish choosing teams Divided by their dreams While a tv screams Throw your weapons down Throw your weapons down The wheel of fortune Keeps on rollin' down The street that's paved with sinful plans There but for circumstance May go you or i Dressed in gold lame Find a place to stay Throw your hatred down Throw your hatred down Throw your hatred down Throw your weapons down
SceneryNeil YoungAt the scenery around you Home of the brave Sometimes they leave you like they found you Sometimes they worship you Sometimes they tear your houses down Sometimes they comfort you Sometimes they spread your life around Nothing you can see That they won't try to give you Land of the free Where the legend will outlive you When you earn their trust When you are truly in danger Where greed and lust Have never been a stranger Home of the brave That's where heroes need protection Media images slaves Live by random selection You sell your heart But that's not the price of freedom Where things are useful Only when you need them Where will you go When you need to make some changes Who will you love In a world of constant strangers I'll go with you If you want to take a hero home I'll stay behind If you want to take a hero home Looking at the grave At the scenery around you Home of the brave Sometimes they leave you like they found you Home of the brave Home of the brave Home of the brave

Three Fish - Three FishSolitudeThree FishI'm awake, my eyes unopen Half in the dark, half in the room Half in the light sealed by your womb Sail then my eyes out in the dark Oceans of sighs, adrift in her bark Islands lay scattered, island won't talk Life hardly matters here in the dark I want you in solitude I need you in solitude I want you in solitude I haunt you in solitude Once a jester in circles of friends Spoke in whispers, starwords and gems See to my scars, make them mend Adrift in her bark, once was a friend Sail away, I sail away, I sail nowhere, nowhere, nowhere Hear her laugh throught the air Down from the past into my lair
Song For A Dead GirlThree FishThe mountain sky as long as day And spied on people's timid dreams And countless sands and endless schemes Crystal bead-words in your eyes How the deads' words made you high In perfumed plains your seabird flies But you and i, we'll make great friends In distant messages I've read In travelling bands and stranger's beds A butterfly flies so amused Alights from her hair in crimson hues A psychadelic electric rain It gently falls through her brain Young flower nightfall closed her hands Her tripper ship, it touched the sand But in the forest Twisted in colours Tossed in the mirrors In leaping laughter I need a miracle...
Silence At The BottomThree FishWhere can I find you, where can I find you Storm wind blows from the belly of the beast Where can I find you, where can I find you Young man staggered as they offered him the dream Almost was a promise, but he began to scream Silence at the bottom of the well How can I find you, how can I find you...silence One more time to touch god's face How can I find you, how can I find you Dripping girl, sold the world so she could make the scene Lines engraved on an empty page told her the stories in between Where can I go, how can I know Is this real or is it just a dream From out of the storm a shout was born, that turned into a scream
ZagrebThree FishIt was cold in the north I gave you my prayer And you gave me your word Don't remind me now, don't remind me You gave me a light from the smoke that you turned Spoke of your life like your fire that still burned Don't remind me...time to go... Time to go home, time When I was a child I dreamed of sailing ships I saw them sink into the horizon I saw their sails, I felt the wind on my lips Time to go
All Messed UpThree FishStar born, star form All the monkeys in my head All their tongues are turning red A star Oh, I replied...how so Oh, I say...how so Star born, star formed All the monkeys in my head I alone, well, I've been thinking A stranger to the lights been sinking Leaves are falling like they're drinking....star All the dreams that I've come to save All my life has turned to rage Nothing here, suppose to play All messed up in a changing world
Here In The DarknessThree FishHaven't a word where she's gone And in a word I am alone Into the dark where she's gone Here in the darkness she cries more Here in the darkness she crawls Here by her side I am alone And by her side I have grown Here by her side I have not known Here by her side I have blown And in the darkness I have roamed And in the darkness I have clung Here in the darkness where she runs She runs, she will run, she will run
Strangers In My HeadThree FishStrange as it may, storm comes my way And when I'm deep in loving Thoughts get in my way And when I'm steeped in giving Thoughts get stuck and stare Strangers in my bed Strong from the grave, cool in her ways Lights in her stage, a storm in my way Just when I'm steeped in loving Thoughts get in my way And when I'm steeped in giving Storms blow out my faith Strangers in my bed Strangers in my head Strange things we've said Strangers in my head
A Lovely MeanderThree FishA lovely meander Whether you love the loneliest dancer with plenty of blue love In storms she comes In storms she goes That's how she learns That's what she wants That's how she learns Yes, but for dreaming that fathers the child In trances of sleeping Yes, but for a while Ancient of feathers for the loveliest dancer Weightless and feathered In storms she comes In storms she goes That's how she learns That's what she wants That's how she learns That's what she wants
Elusive OnesThree FishThey're lovers again The sun is the moon : an amalgalm Their gold and silver melt together This is the season of the dead branch, the green branch, of the same branch The cynic bites his finger because he can't understand The cynic bites his finger Nightmares fill with light like the holiday Men and angels speak one language The elusive ones finally meet The essence of evolving forms will run to meet each other like children Good and evil, dead and alive Everything blooms from one natural stem Good and evil, dead and alive ... They're lovers again
BuildThree Fish
Secret PlaceThree FishOf white wet galleries of hope and heartache I am surrounded By the eyes of hollow men gazing From their haunted chambers In the wastelands of ecstacy Bearing pains the names no one remembers...why You are in their vision, you are Idiot reigns where nothing's revealed My voice in chains, my lips are sealed A secret place, I shed my tears A secret place, I shed my tears...why You are in their vision...you are In their vision, you are In their vision
LacedThree FishLike a word she had made for a necklace Laced If she should fall away Into the water There she was in a tenderly fashion Felt the life in a whisper Once entwined, tore the page from the mirror Laced If she should fall away If she should fall away Into the water So inside, in her tenderly fashion Felt the life so entwined in a whisper Laced If she should, if she could, if she should If she should fall away Into the water
Three Fish - The Quiet TableShiva And The AstronautAment, Robbi RobbThere's a bell that rings every sunday morn There's a bird of love; has no place to mourn It swept him blindly through the air And left him broken There's a wind that goes from the strangest ocean And a jasmine rose; songs of roses There's unfathomed sounds in a place called nowhere And the silent ground in these breaths It swept him blindly through the air And left him opened He left the world without a tear When he crossed over Om namah shiva In a world without tears Farewell Fare thee well Om namah shiva In every russ he bid farewell When he crossed over
Tremor VoidRichard StuverudAnd I feel her smile in between the million miles she's from me now Picture perfect snapshot; it's in the camera void Now it's on the cracking walls, so beautiful and real She goes to sleep as the earth I stand on falls Into the sleep below the tremor void In a song forth he knows wisdom rescues all the lonely fear Set your wounded planet such a ness he learned woo now I could leave every where for somewhere else Ready to return; returning with you Into the tremor void with you
Myth Of AbdulAment, Richard Stuverud, Robbi RobbSpilling tears on velvet; tears spun from dew; draped from the lace Where the elders are weeping Come, come see for yourself When the raven's wings are beating, where the harlequin sleeps And the old play is pleading under dark, cold raining skies Beneath the old courts of laughter Come, come see for yourself And the wise men speak while the raven's wings beat And a cold raining sky And a harlequin sleeps where the old players plead Under dark, cold raining skies
Once In A DayRobbi RobbIt's been a terrible snow in a world In a proud, in a shadow, in a tower, in a tower In a gale Once in a day I was out; I cannot be here Saw the sun, was it always In a while, holding outside, holy child in a tower In a terror Once in a day And she's in love with a man she once despised But this doesn't come as a surprise It's just like on a course like a wild, running horse With no limits or bounds or ties Once, once a day
All These ThingsAment, Richard Stuverud, Robbi RobbNot with the memory, it'll drag you down below Jump at his dancers, out on the ledge, can't feel the edges Love dragged all her friends inside Was a melody she lifted by the wall Jogged through the memories traded for the hollow pillow Innocent christians no joy for love No eyes were hoping until love without words Like a river to the ocean, like a drop of rain, like a weeping willow Tears falling from her wings That's all these things Your eyes are smiling, your mouth is crying Your eyes like poets, open up every cruel door Jump at his dancers, for something that seems so twisted Undone but this december Now she can call it her own I don't want to be a lover, don't want to need it before you Not as a lover She's lying in the dark Just like a machine She's lying in the dark Now it's only trouble, tears falling from her wings
TimelessRobbi RobbSleepin' where the shadows play Where the nighttime meets the day Strange lady prays in a chapel With an old dark door Wonderin' if what she came here for Was in all her yesterdays No time for photographs No time for the past No time for the laughs Cold mother begs From a painter in an empty street For somethin' she can warm her feet Least to stop the cryin' child Sad actress preys on a waiter In cheap cafe Hopin she can end that day With a warmth that lovers feel Lady di, took more than a moving car To steal your breath away Take your hand from the steering wheel No time for photographs No time for the laughs No time for the past No time . . .
HummingbirdRobbi Robb>Of the men who were loved by you Some were lookin for a woman to play One who could venture to the empty rooms And carry their bodies away Of course there's a ghost And maybe one was a king He whispered but never came through One so alone, sad as a poem who hovered by the window then flew Away from poison rainbows Away from fallen snow Away from stumblin' footsteps Away from so alone But to lie down beside you To feel the heart beat in your breath To carry my song to you To bury the words inside Is all I really want Twisted and simple, You curled into the shoulder Of a joker that could not surrender Like some endless river, He broke into the layers Sunsets darken the waters Of course there was laughter In this shelter of strangers In the rooms of "i love you" "i love you" One so alone, sad as a poem Who hovered by the window then flew Away from poison rainbows Away from fallen snow Away from stumblin' footsteps Away from so alone But to lie down beside you To feel the heart beat in your breath To carry my song to you To bury the words inside Is all I really want
My Only FoeAment
TransportingRichard StuverudYour sleepy voice calls Every one of my shortages Of good days Transporting Time it's so ample And it's passin' so sweet You bring the deepest things out of me Outside As amazing space Transporting Me to you
Found A WindowRichard Stuverud, VeikosInside this whole town Ruin But I found a way to make my soul travel And it comes to you Like a fire inside him He didn't know where it came from But it made him weep And melt Like a candle, she said You dance so well Comin' back to yourself Come to myself Comin' back to myself Come back to yourself

FlashesThe RockfordsThe house of infinite judges Calling their computer Evangelist Sycophant Who feed upon the masses with their smiles: Smile Why should I believe their lies?

So what about me What about you Are we on our own And I won't call you anymore And i'll find a silver lining In my own black little cloud I'm alone Yes, I'm all right I know that I can make it through this night So what about me What about you Are we on our own And I won't call you anymore And i'll find a silver lining In my own black little cloud So what about me What about you Are we on our own And I won't call you anymore And i'll find a silver lining Yes I will So what about me What about you Are we on our own And I won't call you anymore And i'll find a silver lining Yes I will Yes I will So what about me What about you Are we on our own So what about me What about you Are we on our own Will we find a silver lining Will we find a silver lining Will we find a silver lining
This LifeThe RockfordsFor seven days a week And I've got my heart That's about all I keep You see I know what I can really do I'm gonna keep my head See things through Turn this life into something real This life Turn it into gold The life Turn it into something I can hold onto Everyone has an alibi Reasons why they never took a chance I can't remember mine See I let go of that dance You see I know what I can really do I'm gonna keep my head See things through Turn this life into something real
DistressThe RockfordsHe waits for shadows to change Thinking of wonderland allison And how she spiked his mind that day Dinner served he stared blankly at A plate of madness and fate And his roll of the dice unraveled One night in a room padded distress And simple pleasures like speaking now Have all ended Alisons' endless smile horizon A future ghost angel was she And he walks in circles aimless Searching for serenity And his roll of the dice unraveled One night in room padded distress And simple pleasures like hearing now Have ended He lives in a detention cell His mind smoke screen down, down And grasping her mirrored image Yearning she shines like roses And his roll of the dice unraveled One night in a room padded distress And simple pleasures like seeing now Have all ended His roll of the dice unraveled One night it a room padded distress And simple pleasures have all gone now It's all ended
Coat Of ArmsThe RockfordsI'll soon be at the end of a long list of feelings That I keep holding onto Looking back Wondering how on earth will my heart stay intact If it's never going to be easy Pale the weight of a heart Who gonna help these hands Cover the place I stand Compared to all the strength you impart And cover me in arms In a coat of arms i'll wear Pale the weight of a heart Who's gonna keep me standing Keep me standing strong Compared to all the strength you impart Safe outta reach from harm To face the things gone wrong Seems to me it's life that never moves along like I think it should Then again it's too much thinking that's never done me good So I keep building onto This house of mine That I carry with me Almost, almost all the time And if it's never going to be easy Strength is all I need
SpiralThe RockfordsRaises a child of stone Teardrops at a daughter lost When she tasted the needle alone A na?ve angel you were My faded polaroid serene On a carousel of endless time Now that you're gone I see the sadness I know it was wrong A desire for madness She feels nothing but this emptiness It's a far cry from innocence And neon street smacked friends See she sold her soul cheaply scheming And now that you're gone I see the sadness I know it was wrong A desire for madness She feels nothing but this emptiness And the shallow promises they lie Exhaling for the last time Tell me was it worth it To desert this life, to desert this life
Something TrueThe RockfordsThat life has more to it than this That wishes do come true Yes they do exist Just depending on how you look at it If I believe in everything Am I a fool? I've got my heart depending on something true Sometimes innocence and play Soon get up and they walk away When the struggle of Growing up becomes More to us than we can take If I believe in everything Am I a fool? I've got my heart depending on something true As I look back on all the things I have wished I realize that I have gotten all of it If I believe in everything Am I a fool? I've got my heart depending on something true
RiverwideThe RockfordsYou're always calling me to go Guess i'll maybe build a boat? I think I know Out of the sky onto the sea Outside the rain and down again Guess i'll maybe understand?

SureshotThe RockfordsWhy don't you come round here a while I need someone to talk to You being the first one in line All you have to have here is a spine I needed someone to rescue I get a visual fright When I think of how you lassoed me in If you have to kick it baby Do what you need to, what you need Come on slow down This rides a runaway train I'll give you something to cry about I needed something won't give it to me Won't you baby?

WindowsThe RockfordsTo survive another day The trying, the selling of my soul and my fall from grace You see the darkened streets reigning gamblers are dealing insecurity And I am tempted to Painting everything invisible Creating a simple life Walking by the open windows keeps me from cement angels Walking by the open windows keeps me from going outside Stepping through the mirror shared Cutting me like sickening fire I know the tools to break into the danger zone I've created And I am tempted to Painting everything invisible Creating a simple life Walking by the open windows keeps me from cement angels Walking by the open windows keeps me from going outside If the water falls right into you If you have to know what you're gonna do To get out It's the waterfall you have to do If you need to say what they put you through To get out If you have to know what you gonna do If they have to see what they put you through To get out
