Gideon.
What have you told us at all?
Make a sound, come down off the wall.
Religion, should appeal to the hearts of the young.
Who are you? what have you become?
You animal.
Come on.
What does this remind you of?
Truly.
Truly we have become.
Hated and feared for something we don't want.
Listen.
Listen.
Most of us believe that this is wrong.
You animal.
Come on.
What does this remind you of?
Animal.
Come on.
What does this remind you of?
Animal.
Come on

Wakin' up, feelin', good and limber
When the telephone, it ring
Was a bad man from California
Tellin' of a stone he'd bring

And of, better days
From this town, we'd escape
If we, holler loud, and make our way
We'd all live, One Big Holiday

So we listened &, up the river
And recorded all the sounds
Was some shakin' & some, record playin'
All the leather kids were loud

I will sing to you of greater things... money, gold, and diamond rings.
Just don't make it last any longer thatn it has to
Stories of the greater years... fill your heart and soul with beer (tears)
Just don't make it last any longer than it has to
I will sing to you of greater things... money! gold! and diamond rings.
Just don't make it last any longer than it has to
Stories of the greater years... what's in here won't disappear
Just don't make it last any longer than it has to

lowdown, cheatin, aint no need for repeatin,
so love, dawg, cant ye see? That you never gotta fight with me.
Hurtin. Beatin. Aint no need for repeatin,
so love dawg cant ye see, that you never gotta bleed for me.
Chancing, glancing, sho nuff mood for romancing
so love dawg cant ye see that you only gotta dance with me.

Why's it so strange when they say that the world's movin' upwards?
Why's it surreal when my hands feel they can't roll the dice?
Why's it so great just to wake every day alive and by your side?

It's a mystery, I guess
There's lots of things that I can't find
Not the way that you look
But your move that catches my eye

Why's it so soft when the cannons unload on the others?
Why are we so loud when we say it won't happen to us?
Why does my mind blow to bits every time they play that song?

It's just the way that he sings
Not the words that he says or the band
I'm in love with this soul
It's a meaning that I understand

He was leading us thru the dark.
He was sayin that "love goes on."
I was wanting some "ice cream."
He knew exactly what I meant.
From the driver's seat in the dark.
He popped a tape in the dash of his car.
And when the singer started to scream.
I knew exactly what he meant.
I never knew for sure, what a wonderful man he was.
What a sensible man he was.
What a marvelous man he was.
Why do we love what is wrong? big devil told us to sing along.
And like a loving flock we obey, except 4 him, he went his own way.
I never knew for sure, what a wonderful man he was.
Till the day I found out his cause, was to do it for all of us

Sorry 'bout the things that I had to say
And I'll make it up to you right now at the penny arcade
In an open car or wherever you are
Push yourself too far and it might get hot

Well, I really don't need the confusion
And you know I just ain't the type
To get all wrapped up in the illusion
Of doing something that I know ain't right right right
Right right

You've got to want to rearrange it and keep it
Off the record, off the record
You've got to know that we will change it and keep ya
Off the record, off the record, c'mon

In a crowded room near the box of boom
To an artificial tune I see you swoon
Well, you knew all this would turn to mist of your idea wasn't kissed
Why're you so pissed?

Well, I know you don't need the confusion
And I know you just ain't the type
To get all wrapped up in the illusion
Of doing somethying that you know ain't right right right
Right right
Right right
Right right right

You've got to want to rearrange it and keep it
Off the record, off the record
You've got to know that we will change it and keep ya
Off the record, off the record
You've got to want to rearrange it and keep it
Off the record, off the record
You've got to know that we will change it and keep ya
Off the record, off the record, c'mon

"Watchin' this stretch of road,
Miles of light explode,
Driftin' off the thing I've never done before.

Watchin' the crowd roll in,
Out go the lights, It Begins.
Feeling in my bones I've never felt before.

People always told me,
That bars are dark & lonely,
And talk is often cheap & filled with air.
Sure sometimes it thrills me,
But nothing could ever chill me,
Like the way they make the time just disappear.

Feelin' you're here again,
Hard on my skin again,
Feelin' good a thing, I've never known before,
What does it mean to feel?
Millions of dreams come real,
Feeling in my soul I've never felt before.

And you, you always told me,
No matter how long it holds me,
If it falls apart or makes us millionaires,
We'll be right here forever,
Go through this thing together,
And on Heaven's Golden Shore, We'll lay our heads."

Lay low why don't ya now?
Lay back awhile and I'll show ya, I got the good that you want no
need to go and, hunt something else, it's right here with me, when you stay.
It's always good when I get to see that there's never more than what you're telling me when you
stay, home.
Lay low if the feel is right, (let the fetus rock) I got all that I want here in you tonite and we'll pass out
on the bedroom floor after goin like this (full tilt) so long.
Hold up, you showed me.
Oh what you told me, it's not what you want but what you need it's not
a head full of booze (pills) or amphetamines, when you stay.
It's always good when I get to see that there's never more than what you're telling me when you
stay, home

In a dream, I saw you walkin'
Like a kid alive and talkin', that was you
In the classroom, you were teachin'
On the streets you were policin' that was you

To the one I now know most
I will tell them of your ghost like a thing that never, ever was

And all that ever mattered
Will some day turn back to batter like a joke
Behind thin walls, you hid your feelings
Takes four legs to make a ceilin' like a thing

In a dream I saw you walkin'
With your friends alive and talkin', that was you
Well I saw it in your movements
And even though you never knew it, well I knew

Just how sweet it could be
If you'd never left these streets

You had me worried, so worried that this would last
You had me worried, so worried that this would last
But now I'm learning, learning that this will pass
But now I'm learning, learning that this will pass

Oh shit run! oh shit run! oh shit run thru the ghetto.
They will hear you.
Mornin' bell tolls at home, rings loud back where I come from, calls me back.
Often times I would hope and pray, then faith came my way.
Oh shit run! oh..............
It's what appears to me, it's what appears to me.
Oh shit run! oh..............
It's what appears to me, it's wha appears to me.
It's what appears to me.
Ahhhhhhhh...................

at dawn they ride again, they'll haul you out to the streets.
They'll burn your papers and your empty trash cans,
beat this thought into your head, singin over and over again:
"all your life is obscene!"
"forget the papers, forget your musical dreams!"
but that's when my knife rises,
their life ends and my life starts again!

Hey
The Christmas curtain falls on lawbreakers who pave the way
For thoughtless folks like me and J. who'd pay
But can't afford the finer things in life
So we heist them all
We're criminals that never break the law

So
To all you frowns, go down to town square and get some action
From the Christmas girl that lives inside your womb
She's always there, I think that I'm certain
You pay to get behind her Christmas curtain
You're the criminal that never breaks the law

Always leave your televisor on
Always give your answers by the phone
If you're hurt he wants to feel it
If you've money he's your dealer
If you're ready for him I don't want to see it
Oh
O is the one that is real

down in the city, the flames gathered round.
churches and buildings in ashes on the ground.
they think they're goin to hell.
out in the hollow, it drown out the crowd,
and i think my other would kill me.
if she knew what i was about.
i think im going to hell...
devils and demons are comin.
lovers and children beware.
devils and demons are comin...
to take me to hell. to take me to hell. to take me to hell.

So I do believe, none of this is physical
At least not to me
So, I do believe
That anywhere it goes
It's always with me
It's not the dream
That makes you weak
It's not the night that makes you sleep
But it's a voice, and it's a choice
To call you out, or stay at home
So, I do believe
None of this is physical
At least not to me
So I do believe
That anywhere it goes
It's always with me
It's not the beast, it's not the sheets
So soft and warm, all over me
But it's the touch, you need so much
To move around on this green earth
Take your money and your drugs
Take your money and your drugs
To anyone who wondered
What old jebus meant to me
Take him out to go diving
In red patoka sea
The brain melts in the twilight
With the boar and moving trees
Your skin looks good in moonlight
And Goddamn those shaky knees
The fact that my heart's beating
Is all the proof you need

Daybreak, nightfall, long as I believe
There ain't nothing glowing like the skin you're showin' and the keys you gave to me
Nightjails, poolhalls, some things are everywhere
So for the past I'm diggin' a grave so big, it will swallow up the sea
Oh I know... that it's easy... there's no trouble waitin' for me
Dancefloors, headlights, in my blood there's gasoline
For an urban boy on a dirty tour I never felt so clean
Loaded questions in an automatic world
You just won't be seein' the things you need, as if you thought you would
Oh, I know... it's never easy... when there's trouble waitin' for me

is this "climbing up to the moon?"
or is it bailing out too soon?
i hope we didn't wait too long.
all that i wanted to say - words only got in the way.
but then i found another way to communicate.
is this "climbing up to the moon?"
or is it fadin out too soon??
i know we didn't, i know we didn't wait too long -
cause anytime's a good time to move on.
things i could say to myself - i could never say to anyone else.
but what madonna said really helped -
she said: "boy - you better learn to express yourself!"
i know we didn't, i know we didn't wait too long.
cause anytime's a good time to move on.

Sittin' here with me and mine, all wrapped up in a bottle of wine
Little we can do... we gon' see it thru somehow
So... now are you ready to go? my lady
I been waitin' on the boat here I been waitin' so long
"Can he see me? does he feel me? does he know me at all?"
"Does it shiver? always deliver? does it know me at all?"
Bang! Bang! goes the night, all wrapped up in the firelight
Don't "rock bottom", just listen, just slow down
So... now are you ready to go, my lady?
I been waitin' on the boat here, I been waitin' so long...
