Back to back to back to back to back
Back to back Now how you gonna hold me Back to back How you gonna show me Back to back {} You know that I made a mistake You know that I will stand face to face But now I gotta take it Back to back Why don't you put a book upon our heads And put some pistols in our hands Count twenty paces at dawn Count twenty questions we'll get wrong You know that I made a mistake You know that I will stand face to face If you want Face to face If you only turn around Turn around I can't take it, take it Back to back We're standin' back to back We're livin' back to back You're holdin' back to back And now I'm gonna hold me Back to back to back to back to back |

Shocking, now nothing shocks anymore
The message read as it washed ashore Skies turn black as my eyes look down Written on the back of these words I've found We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it It's been ours since birth, what'cha doin' on it We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it Layin' claim at birth, what'cha doin' on it Waterfalls of grain throw through our hands We're too weak to stand and too weak to strain Big trees wave and the air is still Lovers climb at the top of a hill, and say We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it It's been ours since birth, what'cha doin' on it We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it Laid our claim at birth, what'cha doin' on it We watch the world from the padded cell And our eyes scream what our lips must quell {} {} Last bundle of twigs proves strong and young We can hold our tongues at the top of our lungs We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody It's been ours since birth, and it's ours already We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody It's been ours since birth, and it's ours already We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody Don't tell a soul I got my hands in my pockets and I'm waiting for the day to come |

Well she's kind of like an artist
Sittin' on the floor Never finishes, she abandons Never shows a soul And she's kind of like a movie Everyone rushes to see And no one understands it Sittin' in their seats She opens her mouth to speak and What comes out's a mystery Thought about, not understood She's achin' to be Well she dances alone in nightclubs Every other day of the week People look right through her Baby doll, check your cheek And she's kind of like a poet Who finds it hard to speak Poems come so slowly Like the colors down a sheet She opens her mouth to speak and What comes out's a mystery Thought about, not understood She's achin' to be I've been achin' for a while now, friend I've been achin' hard for years Well she's kind of like an artist Who uses paints no more You never show me what you're doing Never show a soul Well, I saw one of your pictures There was nothin' that I could see If no one's on your canvas Well, I'm achin' to be She closes her mouth to speak and Closes her eyes to see Thought about an' only loved She's achin' to be Just like me |

The demands made upon you
Are hard to live up to It's futile to try and deny And the things you hold dearly Are scoffed at and yearly Judged once and then left aside 'Cause they're blind They hold you too close to the line And I see you were there Oh they might if they learn But they're letting you burn 'Cause they're blind To the brown-eyed beholder See the chip on your shoulder The fools that don't want to believe That you're so hard to talk to And so easy to leaf through Yet nobody looks past your sleeve, yeah 'Cause they're blind They only like what they can see An' what they can't they just can't agree If you run to me, run, run Only like the date with her Only like a date with her Then you run back Then you run back blind 'Cause they're blind An old man said to me Go home and take it easy And run to me, run, run Only like a date with her Only one more day with her Then I'll run back Then we'll run back blind They hold you too close to the line And I see you were there Oh they might if they learn But they're letting us burn 'Cause they're blind |

You press your luck
Up against his body Now you're stuck But you like it down and dirty You don't care Where the hell you're goin' Anywhere Is better than goin' Anywhere is better than Anywhere is better than Anywhere is better than Anywhere is better than here Your hair is black Because you taint it Your life's a joke so tell me, ain't it? Anywhere is better than Anywhere is better than Anywhere is better than Anywhere is better than here You press your luck But you don't care They play with your head But they never stroke your hair Anywhere is better than here |

If there's a temporary lull
Why'm I bored right outta my skull Man, I'm dressin' sharp an' feelin' dull Lonely, I guess that's where I'm from I was from Canada Well, I best become unstunned And if it's just a game Then I'll break down just in case Oh yeah, we're runnin' in our last race Well, I laughed half the way to Tokyo I dreamt I was Surfer Joe An' what that means I don't know A dream too tired to come true Laughed a rebel without a clue And I'm searching for somethin' to do And if it's just a game Then we'll hold hands just the same So what, we're bleeding but we ain't cut And I could purge my soul perhaps For the imminent collapse Oh yeah, I'll tell you what we could do You be me for a while and I'll be you A dream too tired to come true Laughed a rebel without a clue Won't you tell me what I should do And if it's just a lull Why'm I bored right outta my skull Oh yeah, keep me from feeling so dull And if it's just a game Then we'll break down just in case Then again, I'll tell you what we could do You be me for a while You be me for a while You be me for a while and I'll be you |

The smell of man that now scents your wings
And what that brings A change in things Banished forever from the sacred nest On your snow-white breast I feel there's still unrest I said hey, darlin' one Your time has come Hey, darlin' one Five hundred midnights since have passed Since I held you fast You were safe at last Wax burnt my finger like a clear blue flame So young and tame I was to blame N' I call your name, darlin' one Your time has come I said hey, darlin' one Your time has just begun I cupped my hands around you And I swore you would fly My tears fell through the dirt As I heaved you through the sky Hey, darlin' one Your time has come Your time has come Hey, darlin' Darlin' Darlin' Hey, darlin' one, your time has come |
