UGLY TRUTH
You hide your eyes But the ugly truth Just loves to give it away You gave yourself If you were mine to give I might throw it away You share but money can't give What the truth takes away Throw it away I painted my eyes Ugly isn't what I want to see I painted my mind Ugly isn't what I want to be I don't mind but the truth Don't look that good on me Throw it away I don't think I really Understand you And I can't see why I'd ever want to And even if it isn't mine to say I'll say it anyway It's ugly If you were mine to give I might throw it away But money can't give What the truth takes away Throw it away Music: Cornell;Lyrics: Cornell
HANDS ALL OVER
Hands all over the Eastern border You know what? I think we're falling From composure Hands all over Western culture Ruffling feathers and turning eagles into vultures Got my arms around baby brother Put your hands away You're gonna kill your mother, kill your mother And I love her Hands all over the coastal waters The crew men thank her Then lay down their oily blanket Hands all over the inland forest In a striking motion trees fall down Like dying soldiers Hands all over the peasant's daughter She's our bride She'll never make it out alive Hands all over the words I utter Change them into what you want to Like balls of clay Put your hands away You're gonna kill your mother And I love her Music: Thayil; Lyrics: Cornell
GUN
I got an idea of something we can do with a gun Sink load and fire till the empire Reaps what they've sown Shoot shoot shoot till their minds are open Shoot shoot shoot till thei eyes are closed Push push push till we get some motion Push push push till the bombs explode I got an idea We can do it All on our own Nothing to worry Regret must weigh a ton Kick kick kick till the laws are broken Kick kick kick till the boots are worn Hit hit hit till the truth is spoken Hit hit hit till the truth is born I got an idea of something we can do with a gun Music: Cornell;Lyrics: Cornell
POWER TRIP
I want to be A cowboy star upon the screen Oh hey and I want to drive My cowboy car across the scene Oh hey and I want to write The magazines housewives read And I want to be In control of everything I want to be King I want to make the toys You buy for Christmas Eve Yeah and I want to be The father of the ethnic child Who stars on T.V. Oh yeah and I, I want to write The magazines that housewives read Oh hey and I want all the leaders Of the Third World To answer to me I want to be King I want to be King So maybe now the Pope Will bow and kiss my ring I wanna be king Music: Yamamoto; Lyrics: Cornell
GET ON THE SNAKE
Get on the snake With a swarm of motor flies Get on the snake Under the Cola colored sky Don't worry, everything's clean Road worthy, hungry and mean Get on the snake Where the metal river bleeds Get on the snake Where you never will believe Hey baby, what's your disease My heart's bleeding I'm dying to leave Get on the snake Where the water turns to steam Get on the snake With a suicide machine Don't worry, everything's clean Road worthy, hungry and mean Hungry and mean... Hungry and mean... Music: Thayil; Lyrics: Cornell
FULL ON KEVIN'S MOM
You don't get nothing for free Kev & me were two of three Three brothers to the end Then one went full on Kevin's mom Now things have changed Full on Kev's mom Full on Kev's mom Full on Kev's mom Full on You don't get nothing for free And this one took the long way This one took the hard road I ain't saying who But it wasn't me We were three Kevin's mom made four (We don't come around anymore) Music: Cornell; Lyrics: Cornell
LOUD LOVE
There's no time to keep it low I've been deaf and now I want noise You stay down But I won't be quiet I'll hammer on until you fight Loud love Loud love Loud love Loud love If you've got some time to kill Slow resistance wins the war Well I know But that's no way to go You can't resist the louder pull Well that's right I want something to explode I've been deaf Now I want noise Music: Cornell; Lyrics: Cornell

NO WRONG NO RIGHT
Watch for vipers and poison snakes Feeling fingers make no mistake Grabbing that pull your hair Stealing everything there, everything Restless widow in the dark Carelessly looks for a spark Near the trap fate rears its head No hesitation, victim dead Just from the start it's the end And it's all the same in the end It's all the same in the end Spider moving up your wall To the ceiling he slowly crawls Weaves a web above your bed Egg that cracks falls on your head And it's all the same It's all the same No hesitation, victim dead Just from the start it's the end No wrong no right or guilt admission It's all the same You've been bitten, you've been bitten Music: Yamamoto; Lyrics: Cornell

RUSTY CAGE

PRETTY NOOSE
I caught the moon today Pick it up And throw it away all right I got the perfect steal A cleaner love With a dirty feel all right Fallout and take the bait Eat the fruit And kiss the snake goodnight Common ruse dirty face Pretty noose is pretty hate And I don't like What you got me hanging from Let your motor race Pick it up And get this mother gone Out from and far away The wooden stake This thing has got me on Diamond rope silver chain Pretty noose is pretty pain And I don't like What you got me hanging from I don't care what you got I don't care what you need I don't want anything And I don't like what You got me hanging from Music: Cornell; Lyrics: Cornell
RHINOSAUR
Standing with my enemies Hung on my horns With haste and reverie Killing with charm Only happy when you hurt Only deadly in a swarm Only healthy in the dirt Only empty in your arms I play, I'm sick and tame Drawing the hordes I wait, and show the lame The meaning of harm The skulls beneath my feet Like feathers in sand I graze among the graves A feeling of peace Only bending when you break Only feeding when you're cold Only healing when you ache Only feeling when you don't Music: Cameron; Lyrics: Cornell
ZERO CHANCE
I think I know the answer I stumbled on and all the world Fell down And all the sky went silent Cracked like glass and slowly Tumbled to the ground They say if you look hard You'll find your way back home Born without a friend And bound to die alone I'm thinking of your highness And crying long upon the loss I've found And on the plus and minus Zero chance of ever Turning this around Why doesn't anyone believe In loneliness Stand up and everyone will see Your holiness Why doesn't anyone believe In loneliness Stand up and everyone will see Your holiness They say if you look hard You'll find your way back home Born without a friend And bound to die alone Music: Shepherd; Lyrics: Cornell
DUSTY
I think it's turning back around And I think I like it I think it's turning back around Though I don't know why it is I think it's turning back on me I'm down on the upside I think it's turning back on me Now I'm the good ride And nothing's gonna put me out It's backing down and under I'm down on the upside now It's turning back around Turning back around I think it's coming on the wind Just like you said it I think it's coming on the wind And I'm gonna let it I think it's turning back on me Everything's easy I think it's turning back on me Everything's real to me Music: Shepherd; Lyrics: Cornell
TY COBB
I'm sittin' in a magic hat With smoke and mirrors And tire rubber fires Watch me disappear What made it slow you down Sucking on a ball and chain Another motherfucker goes down the drain Hard headed fuck you all Just add it up to the hod rod death toll Sick in the head sick in the mouth And I can't hear a word you say Not a bit, and I don't give a shit I got the glass, I got the steel I got the love to hate All I need is your head on a stake Hard headed fuck you all Just add it on the hot rod death toll Music: Shepherd; Lyrics: Cornell
BLOW UP THE OUTSIDE WORLD
Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try Nothing is closing my eyes Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight And nothing seems to break me No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all Not one for giving up though not invincible I know I've givin' everything I need I'd give you everything I own I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone I've given everything I could To blow it to hell and gone Burrow down in and Blow up the outside world Someone tried to tell me something Don't let the world bring you down Nothing will do me in before I do myself So save it for your own and the ones you can help Want to make it understood Wanting though I never would Trying though I know it's wrong Blowing it to hell and gone Wishing though I never could Blow up the outside world Music: Cornell; Lyrics: Cornell
BURDEN IN MY HAND
Follow me into the desert As thirsty as you are Crack a smile and cut your mouth And drown in alcohol Cause down below the truth is lying Beneath the riverbed So quench yourself and drink the water That flows below her head Oh no there she goes Out in the sunshine the sun is mine I shot my love today would you cry for me I lost my head again would you lie for me I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand I lost my head again would you cry for me Close your eyes and bow your head I need a little sympathy Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone Who isn't me So kill your health and kill yourself And kill everything you love And if you live you can fall to pieces And suffer with my ghost Just a burden in my hand Just another anchor on my heart Just a tumor in my head And I'm in the dark So follow me into the desert As desperate as you are The moon is glued to a picture of heaven And all the little pigs have gone Music: Cornell; Lyrics: Cornell
NEVER NAMED
I had a dog he was a mix He loved me like a God But I was just a kid The kind mother likes Now I'm big like the sky And I'm down sized inside I'll put this all to rest I'm just a baby who looks like a boy I'm getting all depressed I'm just a baby who looks like a boy I got my father's sense And my big brother's pants And I look like a man And I feel like an ant Just a speck on the ground Growing like a weed A fleck of a seed I'll put my hand in flames I'm just a baby who looks like a boy Feels like I'm born again I'm just a baby who looks like a boy And I'll keep hanging from your hair And I'll keep playing in the sand Just as long as I can Music: Shepherd; Lyrics: Cornell
APPLEBITE
No one can save The pure or the brave No one can save them at all Grow and decay Grow and decay It's only forever Loosely or tightly Everything fits Even the wrists on your arm Grow and decay Grow and decay It's only forever Music: Cameron; Lyrics: Cornell
NEVER THE MACHINE FOREVER
I can't live when it lives It won't live if I die Machine has no heart to give Heart it takes could be mine Come on Come down Come out from where you hide Follows me down the river Shadows me through the sky A sideways glance in the mirror Stalemate machine in a tie Get up Get off Get on with your life Forever means all is not seen Never means forever brings everything I fashion will and desire Always I and I survive Mercurial mind the fire Ferrivorous direction and drive Presently, I see myself clearer Why time I visualize I spy device in the mirror Checkmate watch machine die Music: Thayil; Lyrics: Thayil
TIGHTER AND TIGHTER
Shadow face Blowing smoke and talking wind Lost my grip Fell too far to start again A sudden snake Found my shape and tells the world Remember this Remember everything is just black Or burning sun And I hope it's a sweet ride Sleep tight for me Sleep tight for me I'm gone Warm and sweet Swinging from a windows ledge Tight and deep One last sin before I'm dead A sucking holy wind Will take me from this bed tonight And bloody wits Another hits me and I have to say goodbye And I hope it's a sweet ride Here for me tonight Cause I feel I'm going Feel I'm slowing down Music: Cornell; Lyrics: Cornell
NO ATTENTION
I've got war on my mind blood on my hands And love on my head So open your hands open your mouth Let it be said You know I've got it mad in my mind Don't waste my time it's not going to change So say what you want spit it out loud Into my face And I'll pay no attention They're gonna tell you where to walk When to smile and just what to say They say have your own fun Make your own mind And don't make no waves But if you got a handful of change Don't throw it away it's gonna come So say what you want, suck all my Suck on my brain And I'll pay no attention Music: Cornell; Lyrics: Cornell
SWITCH OPENS
Hey you slaves go hang your owners Draw your names among their ashes Put your children on their thrones Gather 'round and fall right down Here at sundown nothing is when Everything is all right Switch opens Opening around and let's the garden rise Switch is on Hey you patients Where's your surgeon Left with your Insides open Hung your hearts out On the table Gather 'round and fall right down Feel the air now Stumbling and wander in the moonshine Switch opens Nothing is when everything is all right Switch is on Music: Shepherd; Lyrics: Cornell
OVERFLOATER
Come on in and take me on an override Been stuck inside and up all night at Dave's Now trouble's far away, and mother in her cage And nothings gonna pinch this nerve of mine I wanna make it right Close the door and pull the shades And climb the walls Feel medicine heal the lines of age I'm here and now I'm gone I'm there and far beyond And nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine Nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine I'm on the wire over and higher Over the pretense over the (spire) why On and connected I'm overfloating now I'm overfloating alone Hold the potion up Remember to forget and then rename your shame I'm on the wire over and higher Over the pretense over the (spire) why On and connected I'm overfloating now I'm overfloating alone Music: Cornell; Lyrics: Cornell
AN UNKIND
We see the vipers of distance Crawl into our lives everyday Breeding our Edens of hatred Pathetically stupid and unkind We couldn't look a saint in the eyes On the storm It's time to go Marching in lines of contradiction Forgetting the history we make Loving our hangmen as the Penultimate joke We lack the Moses...to look A saint in the eye Music: Shepherd; Lyrics: Shepherd
BOOT CAMP
I must obey the rules I must be tame and cool No staring at the clouds I must stay on the ground In clusters of the mice The smoke is in our eyes Like babies on display Like angels in a cage I must be pure and true I must contain my views There must be something else There must be something good Far away Music: Cornell; Lyrics: Cornell
CAN'T CHANGE ME
She can do anything at all Have anything she pleases The power to change what she thinks is wrong So what could she want with me? But wait just one minute here I can see that she's trying to read me Suddenly I know She's going to change the world But she can't change me No she can't change me She has the daylight at her command She gives the night its dreams She can uncover your darkest fear And make you forget you feel it But wait just one minute more I can see that she's trying to free me Suddenly I know She's going to change the world But she can't change me Suddenly I can see everything that's wrong with me But what can I do? I'm the only thing I really have at all But wait just one minute here I can see that she's trying to need me Suddenly I know She's going to change the world But she can't change me No she can't change me
FLUTTER GIRL
I'm drinking dust With eyes of rust Tonight my tears might stain your wings So flutter home 'Cause you're better off alone than with me So hide your face And tie your lace And butterflies across your cheek Forget how soon you become a fool for words when I speak Flutter girl you don't wanna know what I live You don't wanna take what I give 'Cause I give nothing for free My hands are rough My fingers cold And your heart so young and so naive to ever feel for a moment That I might dare to believe I'll tear your wings as I melt in your smile as I run all your colors away Flutter girl you don't wanna know what I live You don't wanna take what I give 'Cause I give nothing for free
PREACHING THE END OF THE WORLD
Hello, I know there's someone out there who can understand And who's feeling the same way as me I'm twenty-four and I've got everything to live for But I know now that it wasn't meant to be 'Cause all has been lost and all has been won And there's nothing left for us to save But now I know that I don't want to be alone today So if you find that you've been feeling just the same Call me now it's alright It's just the end of the world You need a friend in the world 'Cause you can't hide So call and I'll get right back If your intentions are pure I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world I've got a photograph I'll send it off today And you will see that I am perfectly sane Not for a lifetime or forever and a day 'Cause we know now that just won't be the case There will be no commitment and no confessions And no little secrets to keep No little children or houses with roses just the end of the world and me 'Cause all has been gone and all has been done And there's nothing left for us to say But we could be together as they blow it all away And we can share in every moment as it breaks Call me now it's alright It's just the end of the world You need a friend in the world 'Cause you can't hide So call and I'll get right back If your intentions are pure I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world
FOLLOW MY WAY
Little one don't be a fool, I'm a wreck when I look mighty In euphoria I'm bruised, in confusion next I'm lightning In complacence I am small, through oblivion I charge So follow my way When I'm not leading anyone Open and frayed When you can see that I'm unsure Out on my way I'm only pure when I get lost And you're only needing, when you're finding that I'm not You're just looking for a boy, bathed in infrared and sunlight I'm all polish and reward, when I'm confident I'm hopeless Just like everybody else, right before they fall apart So follow my way When I am falling from your heart When I'm the pain Fever and sweet relief in one Out on my way Though I'm not worthy of your trust, follow me down into a swan dive All eyes closed tightly Lowly, slowly now I know I like where you go when you're gone Warm your hands inside my veins, I might be contagious Through oblivion I charge Follow my way When I'm useless to your cause When I derail Calm in the patience of remorse Out on my way Out on my empty open nerves When all you know Is that I don't know where we are When all you know Is that I don't know Follow my way
WHEN I'M DOWN
What say you now, the door is opening On your vigil and I'm in my usual way I save my breath, knowing what you're Wanting me to say, I only love you when I'm down You say that midnight opens its arms to me Leaving you alone, and then I fly so far away Until the light blurs my vision and I have nowhere to roam I only love you when I'm down And I only love you when I'm down And I'm only near you when I'm gone But one thing for you to keep in mind you know I'm down all the time Well I know you're reaching out and you need to feel my hand You want to be understood, Yeah well I understand I know you hold precious little hope for me And in your happiness, I'm always drowning in my grief And I only love you when I'm down And I'm only near you when I'm gone But one thing for you to keep in mind you know I'm down all the time All the time, all the time, all the time
MISSION
Pulled through you and drowning in your swirl Circling unfolding in your will I'm going to glide on the winds of your breathing And alight on your guarded heart I'm gonna tear all our temples down I'm on a mission now Smoldering down inside your mood Slithering and fanning in your eyes I'm going to dive through your crying and sleep in your hair Rise from your ashes and kneel in your prayers Tear all your temples down I'm on a mission now And I have nothing, but then the have is not as good as the want I'm gonna glide on the winds of your breathing Writhe in your calm and provide your release Weave into your wanting and needing And reside in the heart of your strongest beliefs I'm gonna tear all our temples down I'm on a mission now And I have nothing, but then the have is not as good as the want.
WAVE GOODBYE
Words get tangled on your tongue And you stumble on your feet when you miss somebody And everywhere you think you see them Walking down the street when you miss somebody When you miss somebody you tell yourself a hundred thousand times Nobody ever lives forever so you give it one more try To wave goodbye wave goodbye Every hurtful thing you ever said is ringing in your ear When you miss somebody And every thing of beauty that you see only brings a tear When you miss somebody When you miss somebody you tell yourself everything will be alright Try to stand up strong and brave when all you want to do Is lay down and die How long I've waited for an answer or a sign Lonely and weary from this troubled task of trying To wave goodbye So now you start to recognize that every single path you see Leads to a tear in your eye So wave goodbye wave goodbye
MOONCHILD
Open your arms to the lonely shine Lonesome as gold in a poor man's smile See how the moon is full, follow the push and pull Follow the ebb and flow in the breathing tide Come on moonchild you're so far away tonight The door is falling open and we're flying wild Cat on the road, down in the living night See how the black dog grins in the diamond light We're dreaming and we're real, we're broken and we're healed Give in to what you feel over what you see Come on moonchild, you're so far away tonight The door is falling open and we're flying wild Come on moon flower, you're so far away from now You could bloom forever in the hour And when if is only yes and no, and now becomes too soon I know you'll be alright if you only come away to the moon In the blue shine Come on moonchild you're so far away tonight The door is falling open and we're flying wild Come on moon flower you're so far away from now You could bloom forever in the hour
SWEET EUPHORIA
Sweet Euphoria mine is the heart you own You lost the grace of the hands that harmed you In the daze of a thousand yawns Lost my love, as it is I'm truly gone In your morning I will sleep Fire on an open palm Death for Jesus and plastic armies Wouldn't bring me back again Sweet as ether eyes I'm blind to them Gone are your dandelions falling like mine Falling on land-mine pillows Tired angels save my love for the lasting one Sweet Euphoria mine is the heart you stole Touched and broken are the things you love Using stars to light your candles Warms my face but I can't remember yours Gone are your dandelions falling like mine Falling like daydream mangos
DISAPPEARING ONE
What have you done my little spark Cursing my name 'cause again I put you out Falling apart, you tell yourself you are Dreaming only of the ones who never dream of you I'm your disappearing one Vanish when the curtain's drawn But I will come again and you will let me in And you'll see I never disappear for long Into your room I stumble now Too tired to cower and it's too late to draw you out And there you lie like a painting of Christ Bleeding on the heads of the ones who nailed you down I'm your disappearing one Vanish when the curtain's drawn But I will come again and you will let me in And you'll see I never disappear for long.
PILLOW OF THE BONES
The embers of the saint inside you Are growing as I'm bathing in your glow I'm swallowing the poison of your flower And hanging on the rising of my low Colorful and falling from your mouth Like a painted fever in recoil, like a lie without the pain On a pillow of your bones, I will lay across the stones Of your shore until the tide comes crawling back Throw the pillow on the fire, make my bed under the eye Of your moon until the tide comes crawling back A waning hand on silver granite ways Will mend my broken limbs and bend my haze I'm sleeping in the silence of your voice I'm cradling the peril of my only choice Colorful and falling from your mouth Like a painted fever in recoil, like a lie without the pain On a pillow of your bones I will lay across the stone Of your shore until the tide comes crawling back Throw my pillow on the fire, make my bed under the eye Of your moon until the tide comes crawling back Even though the truth can burn inside or fall behind I will wander through your open mind and you will find no lie can hide Until the tide comes crawling
STEEL RAIN
And so we start another day together You and I and a million miles between us I train my moods to bloom like flowers unfolding Instead of fluttering around And slowly drowning in the Steel rain it's taking over The sky is open and the drones are pouring out The day inhales in a contagious yawn And there you smile as though the sun were bouncing in the Steel rain it's taking over Here in the little world, The tiny world spins for me All's well in the tilted world but there's something falling down in the Steel rain it's taking over
COCHISE
I've been watching While you've been coughing I've been drinking life While you've been nauseous And so I drink to health While you kill yourself And I've got just one thing That I can offer Go on and save yourself And take it out on me Go on and save yourself And take it out on me I'm not a martyr I'm not a prophet And I won't preach to you But here's a caution You better understand That I won't hold your hand But if it helps you mend Then I won't stop it Drown if you want And I'll see you at the bottom Where you'll crawl on my skin And put the blame one me So you don't feel a thing
SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE
And with the early dawn Moving right along I couldn't buy and eyeful of sleep And in the aching night under satellites I was not received Built with stolen parts A telephone in my heart Someone get me a priest To put my mind to bed This ringing in my head Is this a cure or is this a disease Nail in my hand From my creator You gave me life Now show me how to live Nail in my hand From my creator You gave me life Now show me how to live And in the after birth On the quiet eart Let the stains remind you You thought you made a man You better think again Before my role defines you And in our waiting hands I will land And roll out of my skin And in your final hours I still stand Ready to begin
GASOLINE
House is haunted I just want to go for a ride Out and on Before I set this room alight Left alone forever and for crimes unclear With my patience gone Someone take me far from here Burning that gasoline Burning that gasoline New day ywaning another day of solitaire House is honest Clearly more than I bear Drag me off Before I set my world on fire Out and gone the sun will never Set tonight No what fors Only a can of red says danger on it I have found another way
WHAT YOU ARE
And when you wanted me I came to you And when you wanted someone else I withdrew And when you asked for light I set myself on fire And if I go far away I know You'll find another slave Cause now I'm free from what you want Now I'm free from what you need Now I'm free from what you are And when you wanted blood I cut my veins And when you wanted love I bled myself again Now that I've had my fill of you I'll give you up forever I know you'll find another slave Then a vision came to me When you came along I gave you everything But then you wanted more
LIKE A STONE
On a cobweb afternoon In a room of emptiness By a freeway I confess I was lost in the pages Of a book full of death Reading how we'll die alone And if we're good we'll lay to rest Anywhere we want to go In your house I long to be Room by room patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone On my deathbed I will pray To the gods and the angels Like a pagan to anyone Who will take me to heaven To a place I recall I was there so long ago The sky was bruised The win was bled And there you led me on And on I read Until the day was gone And I sat in regret Of all the things I've done For all that I've blessed And all that I've wronged In dreams until my death I will wonder on
SET IT OFF
He was standing at the rock Gathering the flock And getting there with no directions And underneath the arch It turned into a march And there he found the spark to Set this fucker off Set it off Set it off now childrenSet it right Set it off Set it off now children Set it off Set it off now children Set a fire Set it off Set it off now children Suddenly a shot Ripped into his heart He lay in need of some attention And there he played his card Going into shock The last thing that he said was Set this fucker off Jesus at the back door Everything is all right All we need is eom direction Everytime the wind blows Everyting you don't know Turns into a revelation And it al udss up inside your head Time is wasting
SHADOW OF THE SUN
Once upon a time I was of the mind To lay your burden down And leave you where you stood And you believed I could You'd seen it done before I could read your thoughts Tell you what you saw And never say a word Now all that is gone Over with and done - never to return I can tell you why People die alone I can tell you I'm A shadow on the sun Staring at the loss Looking for a cause And never really sure Nothing but ahole To live without a soul And nothing to be learned I can tell you why People go insane I can show you how You could do the same I can tell you why The end will never come I can tell you I'm A shadow on the sun Shapes of every size Move behind my eyes Doors inside my heard Bolted from within Every drop flame Lights a candle in Memory of the one Who lives inside my skin Shadow on the sun
I AM THE HIGHWAY
Pearls and swine bereft of me Long and weary my road has been I was lost in the cities Alone in the hills No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky Friends and liards don't wait for me I'll get on ll by myself I put millions of miles Under my heels And still too close to you I feel I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet I am the sky I am not your blowing wind I am the lightning I am not your autumn moon I am the night
EXPLODER
I met a man locked away For things he hadn't done Innocence on a ball and chain He'll never feel the sun Again on his face or roses In his hands but when he smiled At me I could understand If you're free you'll never see the walls If your head is clear you'll never free fall If you're right you'll never fear the wrong If your head is high you'll never fear at all There was a daughter of a man Who took his life too young She swore she'd never do the same Then did just what he'd done And a boy who's gone insane Voices in his head No one knows what they say Now his mother's dead There was a man who had a face That looked a lot like me I saw him in the mirror and I fought him in the street And when he turned away I shot him in the head Then I came to realize I had killed myself
HYPNOTIZE
Well if you set your mind upon it I know that you can You've got everything you wanted You've done everything you planned So let me make an offer I'm only trying to help You can make your load Just a little lighter All you got to do is share the wealth Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself Well I know you got problems I see it in your eyes But if you want to live To see the morning Give it up to your brother Or you'll get a suprise Well, it's time to see You got to give or you're gonna recieve It's time to see You got to live if you wanna believe You can be
BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE
I was on my way to the center of the sun When I lost my wings and I feel into a crowd And they carried me to the hole in the ground And they buried me Where no one could see And no one would be around I am a virus, I live in silence I was my way to a city in the clouds When I lost my mind and I had to settle down Then I had a dream of an island in the sea Where the lepers die Where no one survives And no one can hear the cries I am a virus, I live in silence And just like the heathens thinking On our feet we believe in God And with one step, two steps Three steps toward the graveyard On the high road to remembering It seems that we forgot
LIGHT MY WAY
In my hour of need On a sea of grey On my knees I pray to you Help me find the dawn Of the dying day Won't you light my way Won't you light my way Won't you light my way Won't you light my way A bullet is a man From time to time he strays I compare my life to this To this I relate And I'm willing To listen to your answers And I'm not ashamed To tell you I need you today So when I'm lost Or I'm tired and depraved Or when my high buller mind Goes astray won't you light my way
GETAWAY CAR
The first time I saw you You were chasing down A cyclone All alone in a field With rail yards and clovers I kept rolling on and never thought You'd wind up chasing me Well settle down I won't hesitate To hit the highway Before you lay me to waste Settle up and I'll help you find Something to drive Before you drive me insane You're tired of walking and you Loathe the ground Teh sidewalk will barely Touch your feet and life moves Too slowly to hold you down With rining hands You take it out on me So get yourself a car and drive it all night long Get yourself a car and ride it on the wind
THE LAST REMAINING LIGHT
Roll me on your frozen fields Break my bones to watch them heal Drown me in your thirsty veinsj Where I'll watch and I'll wait And pray for the rain Curl like smoke and breath again Down your throat inside your ribs Through your spine in every nerve Where I watch and I wait and yield to the hurt And if you don't beleive The sun will rise Stand alone and greet The coming night In the last remaining light Seven moons and seven suns Heaven waits for those who run Down your winter and Underneath your waves Where you watch and wait And pray for the day |
