ONCE

I admit it...what's to say...yeah...
I'll relive it...without pain...mmm...
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I play...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah...

Oh, try and mimic what's insane...ooh, yeah...
I am in it...where do I stand?
Oh, Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet...I pray...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah...

You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time...

Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah...
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah...
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Once  (4x)
Yeah...once, once...yeah, yeah...
Yeah...yeah, yeah...yeah, yeah...oww...


EVEN FLOW

Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, ooh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away, yeah...ooh...
Oh, someday yet, he'll begin his life again...life again...life again...

Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winters on its way
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah...

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away, yeah...
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead, lead him away...him away, him away...
Yeah!  Woo...ah yeah...fuck it up...

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away...
Ooh, someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead, lead him away...him away...him away...
Yeah!  Woo...uh huh...yeah, yeah, mommy, mommy...


ALIVE

Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked...

Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh...

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready...for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look...
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...

I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...

Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...

I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah


WHY GO

She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years, and counting, since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees, yeah...
Whoa...yeah...hey yeah yeah...
Why go home...  (3x)

She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another clone...ooh...whoa...ah yeah...

Ooh...
Why go home?  (4x)
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother...
Sting me...

Whoa...ooh...
Why go home?  (4x)
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother, mother, yeah...
Why go home?  (7x)
Whoa...


BLACK

Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah...

Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine


JEREMY

At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops with him on top
Lemin yellow sun, arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world...
Jeremy spoke in class today...  (2x)

Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Ooh, but we unleashed a lion...
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast...
How can I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin'...ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day...oh, like the day I heard

Daddy didn't give affection, no...
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today...  (3x)
Woo...  (14x)
Try to forget this...try to forget this...
Try to erase this...try to erase this...
>From the blackboard...

Jeremy spoke in class today...  (2x)
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in...  (2x)
Jeremy spoke in class today...
Woo...  (29x)
Woooooohhh...spoke in, spoke in...
Woooooohhh...uh huh, uh huh...


OCEANS

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards...
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...

Oooh...  (4x)

You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
I will be there once more...

Oooh...  (4x)
Uh huh, oh yeah...  (2x)


PORCH

What the fuck is this world
Running to, you didn't
Leave a message, at least I
Coulda' learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield, this could
Be my time, 'bout you?
Would you hit me?  (2x)
Oh oh oh...oh whoa whoa...ow...

All the bills go by, and
Initiatives are taken up
By the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch  (2x)
Oh oh oh...
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, walk beside me
I just need to say...

Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, lie beside me
I just need to say
I could not take a-just one day
I know when I would not ever touch you
Hold you...feel you...in my arms...never again...
Yeah...  (12x)


GARDEN

She don't wander in...don't wander in here, she...
She don't wander in here...don't wander in here...

The direction of the eye, so misleading
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick
I don't question, our existence
I just question, our modern needs

She don't wander in...don't wander in here, she...
She don't wander in here...

I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone...yeah...

After all is done, and we're still alone
I won't be taken, yet I'll go...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone

I don't show...I don't share...
I don't need, yeah...What you have to give...

Oooh, I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden...oh...

I will walk with my hands bound
I will walk into your garden, garden of stone...

I don't know...I don't care...
I don't need you for me to live...yeah, yeah, yeah, oh...
Uh huh huh...  (8x)


DEEP

On the edge, windowsill
Ponders his maker, ponders his will
To the street below, he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks the needle deep, yeah...
Whoa, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom

Oh, on the edge of a know-nothin' town
Feelin' quite superior, the aged come
To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks a burning knife deep, yeah...
Ooh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...uh huh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep...
Ohhh...Ohhh...

Ow...
On the edge of a Christmas clean love
Young virgin from heaven...visiting Hell
To the man above her, she just ain't nothin'
And she doesn't like the view
She doesn't like the view  (2x)
But he sinks himself deep

Oh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
Can't touch the bottom
Deep, yeah...
Oh, yeah, the bottom, yeah...  (6x)
Ohh...


RELEASE

Father...ooh...oh...oh...
I see the world, feel the chill
Which way to go, windowsill
I see the world's on a rocking horse of time
I see the verse in the rain
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
I'll hold the pain...Release me...
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me
I'll open up...Release me...
Release me  (3x)
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...


GO

Oh, please don't go out on me, don't go out on me now
Never acted up before, don't go on me now
I swear I never took it for granted, just thought of it now
Suppose I abused you, just passing it on
Go...fuck...

Once fastened, servile, now your getting sharp
Moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm
I pulled the covers over him, shoulda' pulled the alarm
Turned to my nemesis, a full on fucking god
No...time...suck...my...Please...
Don't go on me  (4x)
Please...oh...

Suck...blood...touch...please, tunnel vision...tuck...time...see...

DAUGHTER

You guys ready...

Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins...center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud

The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

Glorified...glorified...


DISSIDENT

She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say...what to say
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past...a holy no...
She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold, oh...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here

And to this day, she's glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
When she had contact...with the conflict...
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...oh...oh...

She gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...
Couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place, oh...
A dissident is here


W.M.A.

He won the lottery when he was born
Took his mothers white breast to his tongue
Trained like dogs, color and smell
Walks by me to get to him
Police man  (2x)

He won the lottery by being born
Big hand slapped a white male 'merican
Do no wrong, so clean cut...
Dirty his hands, it comes right off
Police man  (2x)
Police stopped my brother again  (3x)

Jesus greets me...looks just like me...

BLOOD

Spin me round, roll me over, fuckin' circus
Stab it down, one way needle, pulled so slowly
Drains and spills, soaks the pages, fills their sponges
It's my blood  (2x)

Paint Ed big...Turn Ed into...One of his enemies...
It's my blood  (3x)

Stab it down, fill the pages, suck my life out
Maker of my enemies...
Take...my...
Fuck...fuck...fuck...fuck...fuck...fuck...


REARVIEWMIRROR

I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Forced to endure what I could not forgive...

I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive

Saw things  (4x)
Clearer  (2x)
Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror...

I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...

Saw things so much clearer  }
Once you, once you...       }  (3x)
Rearview mirror             }

Saw things so much clearer
Once you...oh yeah...

RATS

They don't eat, don't sleep
They don't feed, they don't seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
They don't push, don't crowd
Congregate until they're much too loud
Fuck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so called best friend

They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare

They don't scam, don't fight
Don't oppress an equals given rights
Starve the poor so they can be well fed
Line their holes with the dead ones bread

They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way  }
Don't pack themselves together and run as one            }  (2x)
Don't shit where they're not supposed to                 }
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...      }

Rats...They don't compare  (2x)
Ben, the two of us need look no more  (5X)


ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...  (2x)

I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...  (2x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...  (3x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...


LEASH

Troubled souls unite, we got ourselves tonight, oh...
I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side
I am right by your side, yeah...

Young lover I stand
It was their idea, I proved to be a man
Take my fucking hand
It was their idea, I proved to be a man
Will myself to find a home, a home within myself
We will find a way, we will find our place

Drop the leash, drop the leash...   } (3x)
Get outta' my fuckin' face          }

Drop the leash, we are young (2x)
Oh, get outta' my fuckin' face...
Drop the leash, drop the leash...
Get outta' my, my...

Delight, delight, delight in our youth...oww...
Get outta' my fuckin' face...


INDIFFERENCE

I will light the match this mornin', so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon night will be gone
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
Oh, I will make my way, through, one more day in Hell...
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make, yeah...

I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
Oh, I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey, I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind
How much difference does it make
Mmm, how much difference does it make...how much difference...

I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
How much difference  (2x)
How much difference does it make  (2x)


LAST EXIT

Lives opened and trashed..."Look ma, watch me crash"...
No time to question...why'd nothing last...
Grasp and hold on...hold tight and fast...
Soon be over...and I will relent...

Let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past
Three days, and maybe longer, won't even know I've left

Under your tongue...I'm like a tab...
I will give you what...you're not s'posed to have...
Under my breath...I swear by sin...
For better or for worse...a best we began...

Let the sun climb, oh, burn 'way my mask
Three days, and maybe longer, shed my skin at last...shed...shed...

Let the sun shine, burn 'way my mask
Three days, and maybe longer, won't ever find me here

Let the ocean dissolve 'way my past
Four days, and not much longer...

Let my spirit pass...
Ooh...
This is, this is...  (3x)
My...last exit


SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE

See this needle...a see my hand...
Drop, drop, dropping it down...oh, so gently...
Well here it comes...I touch the plane...
Turn me up...won't turn you away...

Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...spin the black, spin the black...
Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...whoa...

Pull it out...a paper sleeve...
Oh, my joy...only you deserve conceit...
I'm so big...a-my whole world...
I'd rather you...rather you...than her...

Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...spin the black, spin the black...
Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...whoa...oh...

You're so warm...oh, the ritual...when I lay down your crooked arm...

Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...spin the black, spin the black...
Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...
Spin the black (5x) circle
Spin the black circle...  (4x)
Spin, spin...  (6x)


NOT FOR YOU

Restless soul, enjoy your youth
Like Muhammad hits the truth
Can't escape from the common rule
If you hate something, don't you do it too...too...

Small my table, a-sets just two
Got so crowded, I can't make room
Oh, where did they come from?  Stormed my room!
And you dare say it belongs to you...to you...

This is not for you  (3x)
Oh, not for you...ah, you...

...scream...my friends...don't call me...
...friends, no they don't scream...
...my friends don't call...my friends don't...

All that's sacred comes from youth
Dedication, naive and true
With no power, nothing to do
I still remember, why don't you...don't you...

This is not for you  (3x)
Oh, never was for you...fuck you...
This is not for you...
Oh, this is not for you...yeah, you...
This is not for you...
Oh, not for you...
Oh, you...


TREMOR CHRIST

Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
Wounded is the organ he left all...bloodied on the shore...
Gorgeous was his savior, sees her...drowning in his wake...
Daily taste the salt of her tears, but...a chance blamed fate...

Little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...

Ransom paid the Devil...He whispers pleasing words...
Triumphant are the angels if they can...a get there first...

Little secrets tremors...turned to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...

I'll decide...take the dive...
Take my time...not my life...
Wait for signs...believe in lies...
To get by...it's divine...whoa...
Oh, you know what it's like...

Turns the bow back, tows and...drops the line...
Puts his faith and love in Tremor Christ...


NOTHINGMAN

Once divided...nothing left to subtract...
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...

Nothingman...  (2x)
Isn't it something?
Nothingman...

She once believed...in every story he had to tell...
One day she stiffened...took the other side...
Empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...
One just escapes...one's left inside the well...
And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...oh...oh...oh...

Nothingman...  (2x)
Isn't it something?
Nothingman...

Oh, she don't want him...
Oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...
Oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...

Burn...burn...
Nothingman...  (2x)
Isn't it something?
Nothingman...
Nothingman...  (2x)
Coulda' been something...
Nothingman...
Oh...ohh...ohh...


WHIPPING

Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet
Don't need a bandage, there's too much...blood...
After a while, seems to roll right off...hmm...

Whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...

Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached
Oh, don't get behind, I can't fall back
Why must we trust all these rusted rails?
They don't want no change, we already have

They're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...

Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved!
Ohh, I'm just like you, think we've had enough
I can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...
Oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...

Oh, they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...
They're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping...yeah...they're whipping...

P-|r-i-v-a-c-y is priceless to me  (4x)
P-|r-i-v-a-c-y  (4x)


CORDUROY

The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess
I 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'll lie alone just like before...

I'll take the firmest 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 limp for them to walk...
Never would have known of me before...
I don't want to be held in your debt...
And I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed...
And I'm already cut up and half dead...
I'll end up alone like I began...

Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture

I don't want to take what you can give...
I would rather starve than eat your breast...
All the things that others want for me...
Can't buy what I want because it's free...  (2x)
Can't be what you want because I'm...

I ain't s'posed 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...


BUGS

All these...

I got bugs
I got bugs in my room
Bugs in my bed
Bugs in my ears
Their eggs in my head
Bugs in my pockets
Bugs in my shoes
Bugs in the way I feel about you

Bugs on my window
Trying to get in
They don't go nowhere
Waiting, waiting...
Bugs on my ceiling
Crowded the floor
Standing, sitting, kneeling...
A few block the door

And now the question's:
Do I kill them?
Become their friend?
Do I eat them?
Raw or well done?
Do I trick them?
I don't think they're that dumb
Do I join them?
Looks like that's the one

I got bugs on my skin
Tickle my nausea
I let it happen again
They're always takin' over
I see they surround me, I see...
See them deciding my fate
Oh, that which was once...was once up to me...
Now it's too late

I got bugs in my room...one on one
That's when I had a chance
I'll just stop now
I'll become naked
And with the...I'll become one


SATAN'S BED

It's not all been said...been said and done...
I've never slept in Satan's bed
Although I must admit...still visits my place
Uninvited, as you know, he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to fit in
Funny how I always want to give in
Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same
Sometimes the special guest, he don't like to leave
Already...in love...  (3x)
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...  (3x)
Already...

In love...Ah ha ha ha...
...follows torture...follows reward...  (2x)
Oh, oh my butt...

Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off
I'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck Satan's dick...
Again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips
I'll wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath
'Magine they're busy, think I'm doing okay...
Already...in love...  (6x)
Already...


BETTER MAN

Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man  (2x)
Ohh...

Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man  (2x)
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  (3x)
Can't find a better...man...
Ohh...ohh...
Uh huh...  (5x)
Ohh...

IMMORTALITY

Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...

A truant finds home...and I 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...I'm running in the dark...
Coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
Oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
And whiskers in the sink...
Truants move on...cannot stay long
Some die just to live...
Ohh...


STUPID MOP

Don't you want people to love you?
My spanking, that's the only thing I want so much...
Spanking, that's the only thing I want so much...

Don't you want people to love you?
My spanking, that's the only thing I want so much...

Because you get closer to the person...
Closer to the person...
Why is that better than being hugged?

Just like a person having sex feels cared for...
We wanna be loved, so we have sex together...
And they feel loved about that...
And this is the way it makes me feel...loved...
I want it, I dream about it, I think about it, I want it...
Just like a girl wants sex with a boy, you know?
It's the way I'll always be probably...
My last one was born in the system...
See, they're stupid, very stupid, those people over there...

It's a lovely stupid mop, it is...
There's something really screwey about no streaking...
Is it any old dumb mop?  It streaks...
Come on mop, no streaking mop...
I don't mind mop the floor, my mop streaks, I don't like it...
It's not me, it's the mop...
Come, I bought some new mops...
Go away you stupid, dumb old sponge mop...
I don't believe it...now the floor looks beautiful...  (2x)
I don't believe it...old sponge mop...
Dumb old sponge mop...  (2x)

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

Very much so...
Do you ever think that you would actually, really kill yourself?
Well, if I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...
Yeas, I believe I would...
I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...
Yes, I believe I would...
And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself...
Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...

And, I can still fantasize, but I keep it to myself...  }  (2x)
Keep it to myself...keep it to myself...                }
I think I deserve to be loved, don't you?               }
Very much so...
Do you ever think that you actually would kill yourself?
Well, if I have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...
Yes, I believe I would...


ALONE ("Go" B-side)

Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't...
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower
She's standing naked and apologizing
Reaches for her `till his mind becomes blood hot
Woken up to be burned, burned, again...
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
I wanna breathe and I said
I can't take it any other way

On the streets he's walkin', wounded
Doesn't smile for the child at play
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coals
Does he fly away or just talk about it
Like a seagull born to cry in the wind
All experiences lead to a young girl
Alone you will meet the one who lies in wait
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
Try to breathe, but you can't
You can't take it any other way, yeah, yeah...

...Myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, myself
I can help myself, don't talk to me (3x)
I can help myself, myself...

...Myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself

Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't...


ANGEL (1993 X-mas single)

Like an angel, fly over your house
Like an angel, pass out wishes
Like an angel, I will move the arrow
Like an angel, I live alone
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am close but can't enjoy
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm so tortured, 'cause I see all
Tortured, and all I cannot do
Tortured, all I should have done
Tortured, while I occupied a man
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am far from glorified
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm not alone
Mine is not a celestial state with idle hymns of praise
Time is short, I have an appointment at noon, at noon in Hell
Across the waste of space and fields of air I glide, alone at night
Oh please, please think of me, 'cause I'm, I'm by your side
I'm by your side, I'm by your side, oh...
I'm...I'm right in front of you...I'm by your side...


BREATH ("Singles" soundtrack)

Oh, tonight began with anything
Shadows, a light, a warm breath and a scream, ah yeah...

With anything...anything more...
Oh, reach the door...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door
And a nada lada yeah...
Life ain't what it's worth...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door

All these reaching hands out grabbin' things, grabbin' me
Day in, day out, accumulating, ah yeah
Whoa, I suggest you step out on your porch
Oh yeah, huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah...
Run away my son, to see it all...oh, see the world
Oh, reach the door...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door
Oh, and a nada lada yeah...
Life ain't what it's worth...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door

Come...here it comes...there it goes...when it comes...
Where it goes...where it comes...can't see through the faith...
Ooh, come...here it comes...there it goes, grasp what you can...
Don't you know there's something inside your hand, yeah...

Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there...
There's much more than this, ooh...whoa, much more than this
Oh, see the world...much more than, oh...

Much more than...
Why?


CRAZY MARY (Victoria Williams) (from "Sweet Relief")

She lived on the curve of the road, in an old, tar-paper shack
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say:
'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary

Down 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 (3x)

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 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 (2x)
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)


DIRTY FRANK ("Even Flow" B-side)

Yeah...oh, watch it...

Why that dirty Frank was a bad mother...Shut your mouth!
Hey man, I'm just talking about dirty Frank

A Frank's shoveling to bury the leftovers
They're sunk, he's drunk...
Now he's gonna drive, I'm hiding in my bunk, oh...
The band all knows, we're too afraid to mention
Don't want to be part of frank's luncheon
A-lose weight, a-be safe...

FOOTSTEPS (Rockline, 5/11/92) ("Jeremy" B-side)

Don't even think about reachin' me, I won't be home
Don'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...

Aah...don't even think about gettin' inside
Voices in me head...ooh, voices
I got scratches, all over my arms
One for each day, since I fell apart
I did...oh, what I had to do, if there was a reason, it was you

Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you...oh...
Pictures on my chest, it was you, it was you...

Hey...I did, what I had to do...oh, and if there was a reason
Oh, there wasn't no reason, no
And if, there's something you'd like to do
Just let me continue, to blame you

Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you...oh...

LET ME SLEEP (1991 X-mas single)

Cold wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost, nowhere to go
Oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time

Flowered winds was where I lived
Thought you burned, not froze for your sins
Oh, I'm so tired, and cold

Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
Oh...oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed

Where do I go?  How do I feel?
Guess I'll waste away in here

Out of my mind...  (11x)
Out of my mind every single time...

STATE OF LOVE AND TRUST ("Singles" soundtrack)

Oh...
State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Sin still plays and preaches,  but to have an empty court, uh huh
And the signs are passin', grip the wheel, can't read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands...hands...yeah
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 a countin'
Will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully quick, uh huh
Promises are whispered in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end, end, yeah...
And the barrel shakes, and, a-directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen, from both sides of a friend
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Uh huh, huh, oh...
Myself...myself...

Yeah, yeah...
Hey, na, na, na, na, hey, that's something (3x)
Wanna back, back it away, yeah, huh, uh
And I listen, oh, for the voice inside my head.
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Oh, ah, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head
Won't you help me, help me from myself

Hmm...State of love and trust, and a...
State of love and trust, and a...  (2x)
State of love and...yeah...


WASH ("Alive" B-side)

Oh please, let it rain today
This city is so filthy, like my mind in ways
Oh, was a time, like a clean, new taste
Smiling eyes before me, inches from my face
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah...

Sin to sell, buying just a need
Just who planted, all the devils seeds
And what the truth, and the truth that lies at home
It's on the inside, and I can't get it off, yeah...
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah...

What's clean is pure, but hey, I'm white on the outside, though I stray
What she don't know today, might kill us both tomorrow, bring it back someway
Bring it back, bring it back, back to the clean form, to the pure form
Wash my love (8x)
Ooh...


YELLOW LEDBETTER ("Jeremy" B-side)

Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, 'I wanna leave it again'
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah...
On a weekend, I wanna wish it all away, yeah...
And they called and I said that I want what I said...
And then I call out again...
And the reason, oughta' leave her calm, I know
I said, 'I know what I wear, not a boxer or the bag'
Ah yeah...can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah...
And I know and I know I don't want to stay
Make me cry...

I see, ooh...I don't know why there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh, I said, I don't, I don't know a-where there's a boxer or the bag'
Ah yeah...can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah...
And I know, and I know, I don't wanna stay alone...
I don't wanna stay...yeah...
I don't wanna stay...  (2x)
I don't, don't wanna, oh...yeah...ooh...ohh...


ACT OF LOVE (Neil Young - "Mirror Ball") (performed live on various dates)

The fruit of love was in the future
Around the corner and over the hill
The act of love was slowly pounding, slowly pounding, slowly pounding.

The Holy War was slowly building
Heroes leaving for the Great Crusade
Seek reward in the ever after, ever after, ever after.

Don't wanna have to lose you baby
Don't want to have to take you back
You know I'll never lose you baby, abuse you baby, use you baby.

You know I'll always help you baby, but you know I just can't do that.
I know I said I'd help you baby, here's ny wallet, call me sometime.

Act of love...  (4x)

The fruit of love was in the future
Around the corner and over the hill
The act of love was slowly pounding, slowly pounding, slowly pounding.

Act of love...  (4x)


AGAINST THE SEVENTIES (Mike Watt - "Ballhog or Tugboat")

I asked him if he knew what time he had
He said he wasn't sure maybe a quarter past
The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies
Appeared in his eyes as we stood in line just to have a look
But the pages I found looked like an unbound coloring book
The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies  (2x)
It's not reality, just someone else's sentimentality...
It won't work for you...

Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history
Forcing youth away from the truth of what's real today
The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies
Stadium minds with stadium lies gotta make you laugh
Garbage bandits 'gainst true defenders of the crowds

The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies  (2x)
It's not reality, just someone else's sentimentality...
Look what it did to us...

Speakin' as a child of the seventies...

The kids against the seventies
Kids against the seventies
The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies  (12x)


BREAK ON THROUGH (Eddie Vedder with The Doors)

Day destroys the night...night divides the day...
Tried to run, tried to hide...
Break on through to the other side...  (3x)
Yeah...

We chased our troubles there, dug our treasures there...
Can you still recall the time we cried?
Break on through to the other side...  (2x)
Yeah...

Dead cat, a dead rat
Did you see where they were at?
Dead cat, doll path
Did you see where they were at?
Everybody loves my baby...everybody does my baby...
She gets...  (4x)
Hot...ahh, yeah...

Found an island in your arms...country in your eyes...
Arms that train us, arms that lie...
Break on through to the other side...  (2x)
Break on...yeah...

Wait to see...week to week...day to day...hour to hour...
Pain is great, deep and wide...
Break on through to the other side...  (2x)
Break on through...  (4x)
Yeah...  (9x)


CATHOLIC BOY (Jim Carroll - "Basketball Diaries" soundtrack)

I was born in a pool
Left 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, detained...I be joy...

I was two months early, they put me under-class
I screamed and cursed at children with the nurse's pass
Was convicted of theft as I slid from the womb
They took me straight from my stroller to a cell in the tombs...

I was a Catholic boy...
Redeemed, detained...I be 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 up in Heaven, and 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 the statue bleed
I understand the faith of all my enemies
With that Christ and a God, it's never me...

I'm a Catholic boy...
I was Redeemed, detained...and I be 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, detained...I be joy...

And they can't touch me now, I got every size of the...
They got Baptism, they got Penance
I got Communion, I got extreme...
Damn...I got Confirmation...

I was a Catholic boy...
Redeemed, detained...and I be joy...
And now, I'm a Catholic man...
I put my tounge to the rail whenever I can...


LIGHT MY FIRE (Eddie Vedder with The Doors)

You know that I won't be untrue
You know that I won't be a liar
If I were to say to you, girl we couldn't get much higher...
Come on, baby, light my fire...  (2x)
Try to set the night on fire...

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in th mire
Try now, we could only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire...  (2x)
Try to set the night on fire...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...  (4x)
Yeah...

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we could only lose
And our love become a funeral parlor
Come on, baby, light my fire...  (2x)
Try to set the night on fire...yeah...
You know that I would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you, girl we couldn't get much higher...yeah...
Come on, baby, light my fire...  (2x)
Try to set the night on fire...  (4x)


MASTERS OF WAR (Bob Dylan - "30th Anniversary Tribute")

Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
You 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 drug in my head, then you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run following the fast foolish lie

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
The 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


REAL THING (with Cypress Hill - "Judgement Night" Soundtrack)

It's time, I came to get mine
Runnin' through the hoods with a hand on the nine
Why do the pigs come?
Bring your ass on cross the line so I can get the blast on
Oh shit, I'm empty, but I got a shank on the side so don't even tempt me
Runnin' the program, Cypress Hill on the real
With the Pearl Jam and I'm packin' the steel
Don't come my way, 'cause it only takes one minute to reach for the AK
Then POW!, whatcha' gonna do now
Nowhere to run when my dog's on the prow
Prowlin', howlin', give it up punk, you might want to throw the towel in
I like doin' the ill thing, 'cause ain't nothin' like the real thing

It ain't nothin' like the real thing
It ain't nothin' like the real
Ain't nothin' but the real thing
Ain't nothin' but the Hill
Ain't nothin' but the real thing
Ain't nothin' but the real
Ain't nothin' but the real thing
Ain't nothin' but the Hill

Keep me a tazer up in the blazer
And the black nine by the waistline
Never know when someone'll test ya'
Let you know I got mine by my body, yes y'all
I'm the victim that became the attacker
Have my little friend waitin' for the carjacker
That'll do anything for the looper
When I leave the Hill I strack when I swoop

Clack, clack, bang, bang, 'cause it ain't no thang
When I hang with Stone and I kick that funky slang
I got the funk when I got ta' do the ill thing
'Cause ain't nothin' like the real thing
Ain't nothin' like the real thing  } (2x)
Ain't nothin but the real          }

Ain't nothin' like the real thing  } (2x)
Ain't nothin' but the Hill         }

Yeah, said roll...the end is always near...

Yeah, I said roll, baby roll...
Roll, baby roll...let it roll, baby roll...
Let it roll...all night long...yeah...


WATCH IT DIE (Bad Religion - "Recipe For Hate")

I was born on planet earth
the rotating ball where man comes first
it4s been around for a long, long time
but now it4s time to watch it die

I saw a man on my big blue screen
he ruled the world economy
he said the rich would never concede
but some day soon he4ll be put to sleep

I4ve seen the life of the forest green
and adaptations of the deep blue seas
and who knows who is the fittest
they will all soon be put to rest

On a plunging flight and we4re sitting
in the pilots seat in the midst of life
people on a dark horizon praying
somebody will save their lives

I was born on planet earth
at a drastic time full of plastic mirth
and everyday I4ve seen increasing signs
and you would too if you4d opened your eyes
you had a chance you did not try
so now it4s time to watch it die


FALLING DOWN (various dates)

Something to remember me by
Something freezing your hand
Something so you feel all grown up when you call my name

Oh, I'm falling down...
Oh, I'm falling...
I don't know when I'll be up

When I call, please remember
Frozen like stone, yeah
He's only flesh and blood
I'll be gone, yeah...
Just a memory passing like pages in a book

I'm falling down...
I'm falling...  (2x)
I don't know if I'll get up
You're a boy...  (3x)

I know why you're here
Can't guess your side
Oh no, the cry of a newborn child
Can't feel the heat
Of something fresh
Can somebody hide me

Just to see what all the fuss is about

I GOT SHIT (various dates)

My legs are shakin'
My nails are bit off
It's been a month and a day since I've heard myself talk
Only advantage this life's got on me
Picture empty cup in the middle of the sea

And I fought with my mind...
Never lets me be right...
I got memories
I got shit
So don't you go show it...

Oh, I walked the line...
When you held my hand at night
Oh, I walked the line...
When you held my hand and cried

On empty shells seem so easy to grab
I've got questions, I don't know where to ask
So I'll just lie awake
I'm going to wait for the dream
That I'm not ugly as your lookin' at me

And I sent you to bed...
Oh, in a little while I'll see now
If just once I saw true love...
Oh, I'd say it like I mean it

Oh, I walked the line...
When you held my hand at night
Oh, I walked the line...
When you held my hand and cried
Oh, I'll take it down...
Oh, your spirit holdin' on...
Oh, I paid the price...
But I got to hold you...hold you...

And their face is falling down
Down, down, down...

I have wished for so long...
Now I wish for you again

Will I walk the long road?
I cannot say
There's no need to say goodbye

Oh, the pressure's building
All the memories going round
Round, round, round...

I have wished for so long...
Now I wish for you again

And the wind keeps blowin'
And the sky keeps turning grey
And the sun is set
The sun won't never rise again

I have wished for so long ...
Now I wish for you again

I have wished for so long...
Now I wish for you today

Will I walk the long road?  (3x)


LUKIN (various dates, taken from Melbourne, Australia, 3/17/95)

Oh, I love Lukin  (2x)

Lookin' for some proof

Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' till the evening's done
Watchin' the ships roll in, then I watch 'em roll away again
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time...

I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay
I've got nothin' to live for, looks like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah...
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...

Looks like nothing's ever gonna change, everything still remains the same

Oh, sittin' on a roll in my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone

DRIVEN TO TEARS (The Police) (Stockholm, Sweden, 6/25/92)

How can you say that you're not responsible
What does it have to do with me
What is my reaction, what should it be
Confronted by this latest atrocity

To tears...
Driven to tears  (3x)
Oh yeah...

Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
A comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow, meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a fuckin' magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food, and this is what we've seen

Driven to tears  (3x)
Oh yeah...

Ohh...  (4x)

Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world, and who know's what to do

Driven to tears  (6x)


THE FIRST TIME (Stockholm, Sweden, 6/25/92)

Oh, the first time...
Everyone always told me it would be better the first time

Never ever forget the first time...the first time...

I'm here to say
I'm here with proof
I'm a living example
That the second time around  (2x)
It could be better
Better  (3x)
The second time around

Let me tell you that there ain't nothing
There ain't nothing like your very first... fuck
The very first time, ain't nothing to live by
Trying to live your future, trying to live your past

The second time around, there will always be
There will always be a second time around
There will always be, there's got to be a second time around

I can see you on a hill...why do I...
Comatose but walking still...why do I...
Curves beneath your flowing gown ...why do I...
Only I could bring you down...why do I...

Dogs that lick and dogs that bite...why do I...
Hounds that howl through the night...why do I...
Broken leashes all over the floor...why do I...
Keys left hanging in a swinging door...why do I...

Why do I keep fuckin' up?
Fuckin' up...fuckin' up...fuckin' up...

I've got you, and that's all I want

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

Out on their backsides
With nothing in common, with no problem

Burning fires
See the red, true beliefs

MY WAY (Frank Sinatra) (Las Vegas, Nevada, 11/30/93)

And out isn't perfect
My friends, I'll say it too
Stay my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life as full
I've traveled each and every highway
Oh, and more, as more gets...
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But they're too few to mention
I did what I had
It's all through without exemption
I play each charted course
I've traveled each and every byway
And more, much more than this...
I did it my way...

Well twice, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
I knew it all, without a doubt
I ate it up and I had to spit it out
I passed it on, and I stood tall
And I did it my way...

Someone's gonna call you crazy, someone's gonna tell you you're crazy

At least once in your life, for me at least once every day
Someone's gonna call you crazy, someone's gonna say you're crazy

But I know they're the ones, they're the ones
I'm not crazy, they're the ones...

I'm not crazy...  (4x)
They're the ones...


THE PART WHERE I PLAY THE POPE (Milan, Italy, 6/17/92)

This is the part where I play...I play the pope...

Feed the people...love the people...
The people got to live, the people got to breath...every day...

You don't meet the people...G-d gave the people bread...
Leave our tired...leave our tired here, yeah...

Be careful with your brother


PATRIOT (Steve Van Zandt) (various dates)

And the rivers shall open for the righteous  (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday

I went walking, with my brother
And he wondered, oh, how I am
Said what I believe with 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
I wanna be with my family
People who understand me
I got no place else to go...I am a patriot...

I went walking, with my girlfriend
She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
She said I wanna run like the lions
Released from their cages
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...

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, I 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  (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
Someday, someday, someday...


PIECE OF CRAP (Neil Young) (various dates)

Tried to save the trees, bought a plastic bag
The bottom fell out, it was a piece 'a crap...piece of crap...

Wanted an LP, only had CD's
Digitally clean, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

Bought myself a can, thought it'd take me far
The dealer was a liar, he was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

Got it from my friend, on him you can depend
I found out in the end, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

I'm trying to save the trees, I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down to build a piece of crap...piece of crap...

Picked up a magazine to read about the scene
It didn't tell me beans, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

I went back to the store, they gave me four more
The guy told me at the door it was a piece of crap...
It was a piece of crap...


REDEMPTION SONG (Bob Marley) (Missoula, Montana, 2/8/95)

Pirates, I'm sayin' they rob I
Board the merchant ships
I'm not sayin' we're not a part of it
>From the bottomless pit
But my hands were made strong
By the force of the Almighty
They don't say that your generation, triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long can they steal our prophets
While we stand beside and look
They don't say I'm your generation
Oh, and I say...

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song  (2x)

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long can they steal our prophets
While we stand beside and look
Say some say it's just a part of it
You got to fulfill the book...

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption song  (2x)
This song of freedom
Oh...


ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD (Neil Young) (various dates)

There are colors on the street...red, white, and blue
People shufflin' their feet, people sleepin' in their shoes
There's a warnin' sign in the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forgive 'em, any way I can, yeah...

I see a girl in the night with a baby in her hands
Under an old street light, oh, near a garbage can
Now she put her kid away, she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done with it
That's one more kid, that'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

Keep on rockin' in the free world  (3x)

( The US of A, the United States                               )
( Ain't a free place, it's not a free place                    )
( Ain't got the right to choose, barely got the right to vote  )
( There they got the right to make an honest buck              )
( The USA ain't a free, free place                             )

There's a thousand points of light for the colored man
There's a kinder, gentler police man's hand
There's department stores, and toilet paper
Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer
There's a man of the people, said 'keep hope alive'
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world  (4x)


SAYING NO! (Den Haag, Holland, 3/2/92)

He says to her he wants it easy
He expects her, to be easy
He wants it, to be, easy
But she says no, but she says no, I don't want to
She says no, she says no, I don't want to
He expects it too, easy...

But she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop    } (3x)
When he says go, you still gotta stop }

He wants it, he wants it
So badly he wants, he wants it
But she says no, she says no
She says, 'go to hell if that's all you want me for', she says no...

When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop, yeah...

She did nothing to deserve it
He just wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us
He does nothin' to remove it
He's just as hurt `cause he wants to prove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet, just like they taught us
He just wants, he wants to prove it
He's just hurt, she don't remove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Like they taught us, like they taught us...

Why can't I walk down the street free of suggestion?  (2x)

She does nothing to deserve it
He only wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us

He just wants, he wants to prove it
She does nothing to remove it
We don't want anyone to mind us
Play the role that they've assigned us

She does nothing to conceal it
He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it
We blame her for being there


THREE LITTLE BIRDS (Bob Marley) (Ann Arbour, Michigan, 3/20/94)

Said a-don't worry 'bout a thing...worry 'bout a thing now...
Every little thing is gonna be alright...alright...

Said a-don't worry 'bout a thing...
Every little thing is gonna be alright...alright...

Woke up this mornin', cried with the rising sun
Three little birds were on my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and smooth
Singin, 'this is a message to you'

I said a-don't worry about a thing...worry 'bout a thing now...
Every little thing's gonna be alright...alright...
Said a don't worry about a thing...worry 'bout a thing now...
Every little thing, yeah, is gonna be alright...alright...yeah...


THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND ME (Hunters And Collectors) (various dates)

I will come to you in the daytime
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go runnin' down your street

I will squeeze the life right out of your
I will make you laugh, I'll make you cry
And we may never forget it
As I make you call my name as I shout it to the blue, summer sky

And we may never meet again
So shed your skin lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me  (2x)

I will come to you at nightime
I will climb into your bed
I will kiss you in 155 places
As I go runnin' round in your head

I will squeeze the life right out of your
I will make you laugh, I'll make you cry
And we may never forget it
As I make you call my name as I shout it to the blue, summer sky

And we may never meet again
So shed your skin lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me  (2x)

Ohh yeah, uh huh, uh huh...
Ohh yeah, uh hum, ooh...
Ohh yeah, uh huh, uh huh...
Oh...and you will throw your arms around me...


WALKING THE COW (Daniel Johnston) (Mountainview, California, 10/1/94)

Tried to remember, but my feelings can't know for sure
Try to reach out, but it's gone...
But the stars in your eyes...
I'm walkin' the cow...
I really don't know how I came here...
I really don't know why I'm stayin' here...
Oh oh oh, I'm walkin' the cow...

Tried to point my finger, but the wind keeps blowin' me around
In circles...circles...
But the stars in your eyes...
I'm walkin' the cow...
I really don't know what I have to fear...
I really don't know why I have to care...
Oh oh oh, I'm walkin' the cow...
But the stars in your eyes...

WORDS (Melbourne, Australia, 3/17/95)

I seem so overcome, yeah...

Words seem so out of place
words they fall off my altar
How did I get to this place?

Seems so, sounds so familiar
Lost in my dying, cold cry...
All their dreams, there's a million, yeah...
So does it feel time to say a prayer?

Hey, yeah...  (2x)

Words they seemed out of place
Words they seem out of place
Falling out on my face, yeah...
Words just seem out of place...
