Stand up
You've got to manage
I won't sympathize
Anymore

And if you complain once more
You'lll meet an army of me

You're alright
There's nothing wrong
Self sufficience please!
And get to work

And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me

You're on your own now
We won't save you
Your rescue squad
Is too eshausted

And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me

Jodie wears her hat, although it hasn't rained for six days
She says a girl needs a gun these days
hey on account of the rattlesnakes
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
she's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose
and her neverborn child still haunts her
as she speeds down the freeway
as she tries her luck with the traffic police
out of boredom more than spite
she never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
she's oblivious despite herself
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
she says all she needs is therapy yeah
all you need is, love is all you need
Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay
she says that a girl needs a gun these days
hey on account of the rattlesnakes
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
as she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
her hearts like crazy paving,
upside down and back to front
she says ooh, it's so hard to love
when love was your great disappointment
ohh
On account of the rattlesnakes
Shes says a girl needs a gun these days
on account of the rattlesnakes
Hey on account of the rattlesnakes...

Come along it is the break of day
Surely now, you'll have some things to say
It's not the time for telling tales on me

So come along, it wont be long
'Til we return happy
Shut your eyes, there are no lies
In this world we call sleep
Let's desert this day of hurt
Tomorrow we'll be free

Let's not fight I'm tired can't we just sleep tonight
Don't Turn away it's just there's nothing left here to say
Turn around I know we're lost but soon we'll be found

Well it's been rough but we'll be just fine
Work it out yeah we'll survive
You mustn't let a few bad times dictate

So come along, it wont be long
'Til we return happy
Shut your eyes, there are no lies
In this world we call sleep
Let's desert this day of work
Tomorrow we'll be free

Let's not fight I'm tired can't we just sleep tonight
Don't turn away it's just there's nothing left here to say
Turn around I know we're lost but soon we'll be found

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?

Oh, this could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know

Im gonna fight em off
A seven nation army couldnt hold me back
Theyre gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And Im talking to myself at night
Because I cant forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Dont want to hear about it
Every single ones got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the queen of england to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
Im gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear,
But thats what Ill do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

Im going to wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
Im gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And Im bleeding, and Im bleeding, and Im bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

A long December
and there's reason to believe

Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'
Now the days go by so fast

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven...i wish you would

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California...i think you should

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you
laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower
about the things you could not show her

And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...i guess I should

I close my eyes
only for a moment
and the moment's gone
All my dreams
pass before my eyes
a curiosity
Dust in the wind
all they are is dust in the wind.

Same old song
just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
crumbles to the ground
though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind

[Now] Don't hang on
nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky

It slips away
and all your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind

Dust in the wind
everything is dust in the wind.

I walk the maze of moments
But everywhere I turn to
Begins a new beginning
But never finds a finish
I walk to the horizon
And there I find another
It all seems so surprising
And then I find that I know

Chorus:
You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
If we stay here were not together
Anywhere is

The moon upon the ocean
Is swept around in motion
But without ever knowing
The reason for its flowing
In motion on the ocean
The moon still keeps on moving
The waves still keep on waving
And I still keep on going

Chorus

I wonder if the stars sign
The life that is to be mine
And would they let their light shine
Enough for me to follow
I look up to the heavens
But night has clouded over
No spark of constellation
No vela no Orion

The shells upon the warm sands
Have taken from their own lands
The echo of their story
But all I hear are low sounds
As pillow words are weaving
And willow waves are leaving
But should I be believing
That I am only dreaming

Chorus

To leave the thread of all time
And let it make a dark line
In hopes that I can still find
The way back to the moment
I took the turn and turned to
Begin a new beginning
Still looking for the answer
I cannot find the finish
Its either this or that way
Its one way or the other
It should be one direction
It could be on reflection
The turn I have just taken
The turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end.

I could be wrong. I could be right.
I could be wrong.

I could be wrong, I could be right,
I could be black, I could be white,
I could be right, I could be wrong,
I could be white, I could be black.

Your time has come, your second skin.
You climb so high and gain so low.
Walk through the valley.
The written word is a lie.

May the road rise with you. (4x)

I could be wrong. I could be right.
I could be wrong. I could be right.

I could be wrong, I could be right,
I could be black, I could be white,
I could be right, I could be wrong,
I could be black, I could be white.

They put a hotwire to my head
'cuz of the things I did and said.
They made these feelings go away,
but those feelings get in every way.

May the road rise with you. (4x)

Anger is an energy. (4x)

May the road rise with you. (4x)

Anger is an energy. (4x)

Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR transmissions will resume,
They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down,
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(So come on)
Another promise, another scene,
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed,
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds,
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious
(So come on)

Interchanging mind control,
Come let the revolution take it's toll,
If you could flick a switch and open your third eye,
You'd see that
We should never be afraid to die
(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back,
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack,
You know that their time's coming to an end,
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious

I've been walking in the same way as I did
And missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I could call?
No, and thank you, please madam, I ain't lost, just wandering"

Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooh, the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world, are the wonders and now

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love it to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united

Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooh, the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world, are the wonders of my world
Of my world, yeah, of my world, of my world, yeah

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made

I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um baby, get down

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, baby guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

I'm in love with our potential for threat
Open fire 'cause I love you to death
Sky high, with a heartache of stone
You never see me 'cause I'm always alone

I'm in love with our potential dissent
I'll buy the torch if you can pay for the rent
Fly it high with the good book in hand
We're all in love with the promised land

I'm in love with a malicious intent
You can take it but you don't know yet
A truer love was never yet to be found
I've seen the sunset through the eyes of the crowd

Open the skies over me,
I am waiting patiently,
I'll wait for a sign.

As conspiracies unwind,
Will you slam shut,
Or free your mind,
Or stay hypnotized.

When the Zetas fill the skies,
Will our leaders tell us why,
Fully loaded satellites,
Will conquer nothing but our minds.

And I'm waiting patiently,
And I'll wait for the sign.

Carried through the centuries,
Secrets locked up,
And loaded on my back,
Well it weights me down.

When the Zetas fill the skies,
It's just our leaders in disguise,
Fully loaded satellites,
Will conquer nothing but our minds.

I'm waiting patiently,
And I'll wait for the sign. (Yeah).
I'm waiting patiently,
And I'll wait for the sign

This is the point of no return, I could never go back
Life without parole upstate, shackled and trapped
Living in the hole, lookin' at the world through a crack
But fuck that, I'd rather shoot it out and get clapped

I've gone too far, there ain't no coming back for me
Auschwitz gas chamber full of Zyklon-B
Just like the Spanish exterminating Tynos
Raping the black and Indian women, creating Latinos

Mother fuckers made me out of self righteous hatred
And you got yourself a virus, stuck in the Matrix
A suicide bomber, strapped and ready to blow
Lethal injection, strapped down, ready to go

Don't you understand they'll never let me live out in peace
Concrete jungle, guerrilla war out in the streets
Nat Turner with the sickle, pitch fork and machete
The end of the world, motherfucker, you not ready

This is the point of no return and nobody can stop it
Malcolm little running up before Elijah Muhammad
The comet that killed the dinosaurs, changing the earth
They love to criticize, they always say I change for the worse

Like prescription pills when you misusing them, nigga
The Templar knights when they took Jerusalem, nigga
And figured out what was buried under Solomon's Temple
Al Aqsa, the name is not coincidental

I know too much, the government is trying to murder me
No coming back like cutting your writs open vertically
How could the serpent be purposely put in charge of the country
Genetic engineered sickness spread amongst me

My people are so hungry that they attack without reason
Like a fuckin' dog ripping off the hand that feeds him
Immortal Technique is treason to the Patriot Act
So come and get me, motherfucker, cause I'm not coming back

This is the point from which I could never return
And if I back down now then forever I burn
This is the point from which I could never retreat
Cause If I turn back now there can never be peace
This is the point from which I will die to succeed
Living the struggle, I know I'm alive when I bleed
From now on it can never be the same as before
Cause the place that I'm from doesn't exist anymore

This is the point of no return, nigga, you better believe this
Mary Magdalene giving birth to the children of Jesus
The evolution of the world, bloody and traumatic
Human beings killing monkeys to conquer the planet

The kingdoms of Africa and Mesopotamia
Machine gunnin' your body with depleted uranium
This is the age of micro-chips and titanium
The dark side of the moon and contact with aliens

I started out like Australians, criminal minded
Broke into hell, tore it down, and built a city behind it
South paw, murderous, methodology nigga
Remember that I'm just a man, don't follow me nigga

Cause once you pass the point, you can never go home
You've got to face the possibility of dying alone
So tell me, motherfucker, how could you die for the throne?
When you don't even got the fuckin' heart to die for your own

It rains acid, one day the earth will cry from a stone
And you'll be lookin' at the world, livin' inside of a dome
Computerized humanity living inside of a clone

This is the place where the unknown is living and real
Wormwood to Planet X and the seventh seal
Universal truth is not measure in mass appeal

This is the last time that I kneel and pray to the sky
Cause almost everything that I was always ever told was a lie

This is the point from which I could never return
And if I back down now then forever I burn
This is the point from which I could never retreat
Cause If I turn back now there can never be peace
This is the point from which I will die to succeed
Living the struggle, I know I'm alive when I bleed
From now on it can never be the same as before
Cause the place that I'm from doesn't exist anymore

A hand in my mouth
A life spills into the flowers
We all look so perfect
As we all fall down
In an electric glare
The old man cracks with age
She found his last picture
In the ashes of the fire
An image of the queen
Echoes round the sweating bed
Sour yellow sounds inside my head
In books
And films
And in life
And in heaven
The sound of slaughter
As your body turns

But it's too late
But it's too late

One more day like today and I'll kill you
A desire for flesh
And real blood
I'll watch you drown in the shower
Pushing my life through your open eyes

I must fight this sickness
Find a cure
I must fight this sickness

woke up quick, at about noon
just thought that i had to be in compton soon
i gotta get drunk fore the day begins
before my mother starts bitchin about my friends
about to go and damn near went blind
young niggaz on the path throwin up gang signs
i went in the house to get the clip
with my mack 10 on the side of my hip
i bailed outside and i pointed my weapon
just as i thought the fools kept steppin
i jumped in the four, hit the juice on my ride
i got front and back, side to side
then i let the alpine play
i was pumpin new shit by NWA
it was gangster gangster at the top of the list
then i played my own shit it went somethin' like this
cruisin down the street in my six-fo'
jockin the bitches, slappin the hoes
i went to the park to get the scoop
knuckleheads out there cold shootin some hoop
car pulls up, who can it be
it's a fresh El Camino rollin kilo G
he rolls down his window and he starts to say
its all about makin that G.T.A.
(CHORUS)
coz the boys in the hood are always hard
come talkin that trash and we'll pull ya card
knowin' nutin in life but to be legit'
don't quote me boy i ain't said shit
bored as hell and i wanna get ill
so i go to a place where my homeboys chill
fellas out there tryin'a make that dolla
i pulled up in the 6 fo' impala
greeted with a 40 and i start drinkin
from the 8 ball, my breath starts stinkin
i gotta get my girl to rock that body
before i left, i hit the bacardi
pulled to the house, get her out of the pad
then the bitch said somethin to make me mad
she said somethin that i couldn't believe
so i grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy-ass weave
started talkin shit, wouldn't you know
i reached back like a pimp and i slapped the ho
and her father stood up and he started to shout
so i threw a right cross and knocked his old-ass out
(CHORUS)
coz the boys in the hood are always hard
come talkin that trash and we'll pull ya card
knowin' nutin in life but to be legit'
don't quote me boy i ain't said shit
Punk ass tripping in the dead of the night
Homies scored a key, he's gonna fly
punk ass, fly

it's bugging me, grating me
and twisting me around
yeah I'm endlessly caving in
and turning inside out

'cause I want it now
I want it now
give me your heart and your soul
and I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
last chance to lose control

yeah it's holding me, morphing me
and forcing me to strive
to be endlessly cold within
and dreaming I'm alive

'cause I want it now
I want it now
give me your heart and your soul
I'm not breaking down
I'm breaking out
last chance to lose control

and I want you now
I want you now
I feel my heart implode
and I'm breaking out
escaping now
feeling my faith erode

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

What's the deal with my brain?
Why am I so obviously insane?
In a perfect situation
I let love down the drain.
There's the pitch, slow and straight.
All I have to do is swing
and I'm the hero, but I'm the zero.

Hungry nights, once again
Now it's getting unbelievable.
'Cause I could not have it better,
But I just can't get no play
From the girls, all around
As they search the night for someone to hold onto.
I just pass through...

singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhh oohh.
Singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhh oohh.

Get your hands off the girl,
Can't you see that she belongs to me?
And I don't appreciate this excess company.
Though I can't satisfy all the needs she has
And so she starts to wander...
Can you blame her?

singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhh oohh.
Singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhh oohh.

Tell me there's a logic out there.
Leading me to better prepare
For the day that something really special might come.
Tell me there's some hope for me.
I don't wanna be lonely
For the rest of my days on the earth.

[solo]

Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhh Oohh.
Singing...
Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Masculine women, feminine men,
Which is the rooster, which is the hen?
It's hard to tell 'em apart today! And, say!

Sister is busy learning to shave,
Brother just got a permanent wave,
It's hard to tell 'em apart today! Hey, hey!

Girls were girls and boys were boys when I was a tot,
Now we don't know who is who, even what's what!

Knickers and trousers, baggy and wide,
Nobody knows who's walking inside,
Those masculine women and feminine men!

no

Flappers sure were photogenic.

I'm saving my piss in a jar
This depression has gone too far
I'm lying here in bed
Am I alive or am I dead

I'm questioning my sanity

The paint chips are kicking in
Desperation bubbles my skin
There's stuff crawling on the floor
Crackers with black books knocking at my door

The tv's talking to me
I'm questioning my sanity

Everybody have a breakdown!

I haven't changed my clothes in weeks
I'm wallowing in my own stink
My ass is sore from lying in bed
Am I alive or am I dead?

Working on the edge
losing my self-respect
for a man who presides over me
the principles of his creed
punch in punch out
8 hours 5 days a week
sweat pain and agony
on Friday I'll get paid

THIS AIN'T NO PICNIC

Hey mister don't look down on me
(for what I believe in-
I got my bills and the rent)
I should go pitch a tent
but our land is not free
so I'll work my youth away
in the place of a machine

i refuse to be a slave

THIS AIN'T NO PICNIC

:)

She walked out with empty arms
Machine gun in her hand
She is good and she is bad
No one understands

She walked in in silence
Never spoke a word
She's got a rich daddy
She's her daddy's girl

She loves naked sin
He loves evil sex
She has lost control
They are growing old

She will hide in silence
Then her day will come
She was virgin vixen

She is on the run
She is on the run
She is on the run

And through the life force and there goes her friend
On her Nishiki it's out of time
And through the portal they can make amends

He would you say whatever we're blanket friends
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what is on its way

And through the walls they made their mudpies
I've got your mind I said she said I've your voice
I said you don't need my voice girl you have your own
But you never thought it was enough of
So they went years and years
Like sisters, blanket girls
Always there through that and this
There's nothing we cannot ever fix I said

Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what is on it's way
Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls
Brothers and lovers she and I were
Now she seems to be sand under his shoes
There's nothing I can do
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what is on it's way

And now I speak to you are you in there
You have her face and her eyes
But you are not her
And we go at each other
Like blank ettes who can't find
Their thread and they're bare

Can't stop loving
Can't stop what is on its way
And I see it coming and It's on its way

Sit down on the corner, just a little crime
When I make my money, got to get my dime
Sit down with her baby, wind is full of trash
She bold as the street light, dark and sweet as hash

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon

Reach down for the sweet stuff, when she looks at me
I know any man sees you like I see
Follow down the side street movin' single file
She say...
That's where I'll hold you, sleeping like a child

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon

You called up in the sky
You called up in the clouds
Is there something you forgot to tell me...
tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Show me my Teresa, feel it rise in me
Every stone a story, like a rosary

Is there word or right to say,
Even in this old-fashioned way?
Go make your move, girl.
I'm not coming home.

Would things have changed if I could've stayed?
Would you have loved me either way?
Dressed to the blues
Day to day with my collar up.

Decision sits so make it quick,
A breath inhaled from an air so sick.
I cursed the day that I'd learned
Of the web you've spun.
You had your hold till bleeding.

(Hey, Hey!)
If it was up to me,
I would've figured you out,
Way before the year clocked out.
Oh, I hope you're waiting,
(Hey! Hey!)
If it was up to me
I would have never walked out.
So until the sun burns out
Oh, I hope you're waiting.
(Hey!)

We have lived as a child would care.
With this vial to drink I dare.
(Oh where have you been, oh where have you been)
Only to cry all alone with your taste on tongue.
(Oh where have you been if it hurts to be forgiving, Bye)

Should we try this again with hope? (Bye, Bye)
Or is it lost, give up the ghost?
And should I die all alone as I knew I would?
(Then burn in hell, young sinner)

(Hey, Hey!)
If it was up to me
I would've figured you out
Way before the year clocked out.
Oh, I hope you're waiting.
Oh, I hope you're waiting.
(Hey!)

Listen well, will you marry me? (Not now, Boy)
And are you well in the suffering? (You've been)
The most gracious of hosts
You may be invited, girl, but you're not coming in.

Listen well, will you marry me? (Not now, Boy)
And are you well in the Suffering? (You've been)
The most gracious of hosts
I may be invited, girl, but I'm not coming in.

(Hey, Hey!)
If it was up to me
I would've figured you out
Way before the year clocked out.
Oh, I hope you're waiting.

(Hey, Hey!)
If it was up to me
I would have never walked out.
So until the sun burns out
Oh, I hope you're waiting.

Listen well, will you marry me? (Not now, Boy)
And are you well in the suffering? (You've been)
The most gracious of hosts
You may be invited, girl, but you're not coming in.

Listen well, will you marry me? (Not now, Boy)
And are you well in the suffering? (You've been)
The most gracious of hosts
I may be invited, girl, but I'm not coming in.

Listen well, will you marry me? (Not now, Boy)
And are you well in the suffering? (You've been)
The most gracious of hosts
You may be invited, girl, but you're not coming in.

Listen well, will you marry me? (Not now, Boy)
And are you well in the suffering? (You've been)
The most gracious of hosts
I may be invited, girl, but I'm not coming in,

And you're not coming in.

A broad incision sits across the evening
The victim to our fathers lost war
The restless children sit and mourn the graves
Of those they've never seen before
Will they be buried here among the dead?
In the silent secret

[Chorus:]
The pioneers
In dealing with it they march for dawn, of Will and worthy
The truth be told the child was born
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon
And now

Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
Over arms length they'll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one
To be the hero is all I'll ask
Can I be buried here among the dead?
With room to honor me here in the end
You'll be better off too soon
You'll be better off when you get home

[Chorus]

For you,
I'd do anything just to make you happy, hear you tell me that you’re proud of me
For them,
I'll kill anything cut the throats of babies for them break their hearts for they were them
Waiting for you to say: I love you too

The navigator
The pilot
Her favorite
The one they call the vision that bears the gift
[x2]

Will,
Do the children really understand the things you did to them?
And why oh why…
Should they conjure up the will for you my love I would kill him
we're coming home pretty soon
Coming home

In the seventh turning hour
Will the victims shadow fall?
Should the irony grow hungry?
With the victory and all they sought for
We were one among the fence
One among the fence

[Guitar riffs and vocalizing]

We're coming home

Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon
tonight

With the worries that I'd give her in they told the worst of me
My wanting just to hold your neck in my arms and feel me squeeze
No I'm not going to give you what you want so if you please
The sin that shapes your voice carries my ears this new disease

[Chorus:]
Did somebody take your tongue?
In worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
But I don't want to sleep without, so I bid to you goodnight
Tonight, sleep tight, my love

The anxious through the calming storm you'll sit as you pray for rain
I'll touch it if you ask me to but how is up to you
No I'm not going to let you get up if you struggle willingly
I'll favor all your form to show you how it's been done to me

[Chorus]

With all the words you say...you'll say

You were so well behaved
As you arched and made your way
This gift for you engraved
The shift as you stretch your legs
You were so well behaved
You were so well
Who taught these tricks that make...you were so well behaved

If the world stops turning girl you better not stop when I say
If there was nothing you could do to stop it why'd you try
Then the ground starts parting through the silence as you woke up the dead
Everything here dies alone...

But I'm not quite sure what you've been told
On labor day, Ooh, I'm not starting with you but the faint of heart
While worries wait
But I'm not quite sure what this unfolds
On labor day, Ooh, I'm not starting with you but the faint of heart

[Chorus]

(With all the words you say)
Did somebody take your tongue?
In worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
(With all the words you say)
But I don't want to sleep without so I bid to you goodnight
Tonight, sleep tight, my gun

in pitch dark i go walking in your landscape.
broken branches trip me as i speak.
just 'cause you feel it doesnt mean its there.
just 'cause you feel it doesnt mean its there.

There's always a siren
Singing you to shipwreck
(Don't reach out, don't reach out
Don't reach out, don't reach out)
Steer away from these rocks
We'd be a walking disaster
(Don't reach out, don't reach out
Don't reach out, don't reach out)
just 'cause you feel it doesn't mean its there.
(theres someone on your shoulder)
(theres someone on your shoulder)
just 'cause you feel it doesn't mean its there.
(theres someone on your shoulder)
(theres someone on your shoulder)
There there!

why so green and lonely?
and lonely
and lonely

heaven sent you to me
to me
to me

we are accidents
waiting waiting to happen.

we are accidents
waiting waiting to happen

(Ooooh)

Stop!

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, (yeah!) yeah!
Your head will collapse but there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself:

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming?

I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me he swears, trying to talk to me to me to me

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming?

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah!
Your head will collapse but there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself:

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming?

(With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah!)

(Ooooh)

In a wooden boat in the shipping lanes with the freighters towering over me
I can hear the jets flying overhead making lines across the darkening sky
And when the sun is going down I can take a taxi into town
And the waiter at the restaurant sets a table just for one

Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round, spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round and round

So I had a plane to take me to a place so far away from you
Eventually we began to see that we could be completely free
And I could get away from you and you could get away from me
And we could live each separately in our cities in the sun

Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round, spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round and round

In a seedy karaoke bar by the banks of the mighty Bosphorus
Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians
While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits

Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round, spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round and round

Spinning round
Wheels keep on spinning round, spinning round, spinning round
I don't know
Why you say you are not in love with me?

moderation is masterbation
what is what, and what makes you feel good
all these things I think about,
I think about
always come unglued

yeah, I got this thing
it's comin' over me, I got thing
it's comin' over me, I got this feelin'
coming over me, yeah

this confusion is my illusion
nowhere to look, but know where
to find ya.
all these things I'm sick about,
I'm sick about
always come unglued

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me...
She showed me her room, isn't it good Norwegian wood?

She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.

I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine,
We talked until two and then she said: "It's time for bed"

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't, and crawled off to sleep in the bath

And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire, isn't it good Norwegian wood.
