nothing's so loud
as hearing when we lie
the truth is not kind
and you've said neither am i
but the air outside so soft is saying everything
everything

all i want is to feel this way
to be this close, to feel the same
all i want is to feel this way
the evening speaks, i feel it say

nothing's so cold
as closing the heart when all we need
is to free the soul
but we wouldn't be that brave i know
and the air outside so soft, confessing everything
everything

all i want is to feel this way
to be this close, to feel the same
all i want is to feel this way
the evening speaks, i feel it say

and it won't matter now
whatever happens to me
though the air speaks of all we'll never be
it won't trouble me

all i want is to feel this way
to be this close, to feel the same
all i want is to feel this way
the evening speaks, i feel it say

and it feels so close
let it take me in
let it hold me so
i can feel it say

all in all it's just as well
water moves, earth is still
time is slower still
half an hour is 30 days
nothing moves at all this way
hold on, i can wait
life lies burning, i am only just as much as i can make myself
and i lie burning, life is only just a part of it
i can't help myself
all in all it's just the sun
catch the wind, hold it down
cold when evening comes
all in all it's just as well
catch the river, make it still
water turns the mill
life lies burning, i am only just as much as i can help myself
and i lie burning, life is only just a part of it
i can't help myself
all in all it's just as well
water moves and earth is still
time is slower still
half an hour is 30 days
nothing moves all this way
hold on, i can wait
but i can't wait
i can't wait
i can't help myself

Losing my aim losing time
And after
Ten in the morning I find
It matters
But it's all right this time
Pulls from the tether to rise
And shatters
Caught in the wind far and wide
It scatters
If I hear the call
Of the lorelei
No I will not fall
It's all right this time
Never patterns
But for the loss of things
Gaining
Catching up with me
And these ladders
Rising and endlessly
Leading
Nowhere I can see
If I hear them cry
That it's killing time
No I will not fight
It's all right this time

will my bride sleep tonight
softly
believe the words
as always lying
and she sleeps and dreams
lord knows what
but it's not for me to be there
and she knows she isn't there for me
it's just a way of protecting
and will my bride believe the lie
says it's all right; still together till we die
but she knows that words aren't always
always what we mean to say
but still she says she loves me anyway
that's all she said
one more word she speaks and says good night
she would believe enchanted lies
I wait for her but still inside
she's dreaming of Valentino's eyes
far away in someone else's night
it isn't wrong but still it isn't right
that's all she said

call me up when you need
strangers often deceive
and there's something so freeing
to call out a name
and someone's believing

i've been changing my mind
through with looking behind
it's a crash course in life
the best you can do is get by
no getting out alive
i'll hold a light for you to see
all things in time, all you'll ever need

something i can't explain
keeps me running, afraid
and every day
looks me in the face and says
"who'd you think you were, anyway?"
if you'll hold a light for me to see
all things in time, all we'll ever need
well, you told me so
that we'd seen all this before
so what is it that keeps us coming back for more?

i'll hold a light for you to see
all things in time, all you'll ever need
all things in time, all we'll ever need

I wanted to follow you
Down to your well-furnished cave
And to laugh at your art
I wanted to tell you the truth
But I'm always afraid
That you'll be torn apart
Oh, say the word
And I'll tell you you're wrong
Oh, say the word
I've been waiting too long
But when you talk
There's nothing to hear
I'm always changing
You're too far or too near
I wanted to tell her the truth
But I'm always afraid it's not in her heart
I wanted to say how I felt
But I'm always afraid
That she'll stop when I start
Oh, say the word
When we're there at her home
Oh, say the word
'Cause I don't want to be alone
But when she talks
She's all that I hear
How can I help it
You are always too near

here, i need your help
deliver me from myself
take me where i'm wanted
or make me someone else

never mind what they said
forget about the things you read
it was something you'll never know
never see, never understand
just leave it now if you can

tell me
when they come for you
who will there be to speak
and when they come for you
who will there be left to speak for you?

the final solution's back in style
we are the ones letting it ride
i never knew we were so blind
amnesia in comfort, so unkind

tell me
when they come for you
who will there be to speak
and when they come for you
who will there be left to speak for you?

Wasn't it hard
And did we want penance
Summer's so long
Colder men when their ice prayer never came
Didn't we fight it
And weren't we hard
Holding back a friend of mine
All the way coming home
Aren't we the ones who never got tired?
Wasn't it magic
The flames rolled and I said OK
Were we just asking
For something to come our way
Are we another, were we afraid?
Is there a hope that we'll wait
To walk a time?
He's a long road...
And I feel like a newborn again
But the night holds on
Hello, I'm coming home
Don't we mind waiting
And are we ashamed
Coming here in the black dark night
And I don't feel so strange
Are we the lady?
Were we afraid?
Are we the summer...

How can it happen that every time
You ask us this question the answer seems like a lie?
You know what we're saying and you know what it means
And it's always sincere, God knows
But it never gets through to where you need

Before you were born someone kicked in the door
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
You are not wanted here anymore

God damn the people who left you in pain
God damn the father, without face, without name
God damn the lovers who never showed up
And God damn the wounds that show how deep a word can cut

Before you were born someone kicked in the door
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
You are not wanted here, stay back where you belong

And how can it happen, now that you know the cause
That nothing is changing and everything's wrong?
But pain is the healing, and the tears sting like alcohol
Just keep on their breathing,
We'll help you down the long, long road back home

Before you were born someone kicked in the door
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
You are not wanted here anymore

how can it happen that every time
you ask us this question the answer seems like a lie

and how can it happen now that you know the cause

but pain is the healing and the tears sting like alcohol
just keep on there breathing
we'll bring you down the long, long road back home

Are you given vision, are you second sight?
Are you older than your life?
Eighty days of sorrow, endless more in sight
Still you, child, burn bright

And you see me crying again
And you hold out your little hand
Led me shaking to his room
I thought I'd never see again

Close the door behind you, turning out the light
Press a flashlight up against the wall
You say "This is how we knew him
In a little egg
It opened up and this is daddy now."

Now you're stepping back towards me
Till the room is bathing in light
And the answer there before me
There's no ending when we die

Are you sleeping here beside me?
Are you shining bright as the sky?
Are you breathing now inside me?
There's no ending when we die

i find my brother in there
deep in my heart
i find my brother in there
hold in my arms
i love you
and if I seem too quiet now
there are no words
to tell you how
i love you
i often feel
like the prodigal son
take all I need
giving back none
our beauty shows
in such different ways
you're like the light behind the fog
so soft
but still you burn my eyes away
i find my brother in there
deep in my heart
i find my brother in there
hold in my arms
i love you
and if I seem too quiet now
there are no words to show you how
i love you
so much has changed
and so much has happened these years
but still I find that you
are waiting here
we have a bond
that nothing can change
and still I find
a peace of mind
whenever I hear your name
and if I seem too quiet now
there are no words to show you how
i love you

i find my brother in there
deep in my heart
i find my brother in there
hold in my arms
i love you

and if I seem too quiet now
there are no words to show you how
i love you

spoken]We saw something gigantic floating on the water
I asked my dad what it was
But he wouldn't tell me anything

In time I will collect the world
The eggs (I love) and wings (the wings)
Of butterflies

A man drove up in an ugly car
And he flashed his lights at everything he saw
And his eyes were red and his stereo was
So loud you couldn't hear the engine's roar
He yelled at everybody in the road
And did not notice all the moths he'd massacred
Spread across the open road

[spoken]His skin flashed open, and all of a sudden there it was,
And I still couldn't tell
And you know when you get so close to something that big
You can't see anything at all

In time I will collect the world You who fall on calvary
The eggs (I give) and wings (my children) Had you wings of
Butterflies

A moth had settled upon his arm and he looked at it with a lazy eye
And he lifted up a gigantic hand and he
Spread his fingers towards the sky
He nudged the moth to make it fly away
But moths are fragile things and
He just wiped its body (x3)
Down across his shoulder blade

He's a wonder, he's a little black-wing boy
Oh, my daughters, he'll fill you with joy

In time I will collect the world You who soar o'er calvary
The hearts (Oh father) and limbs (I offer) of Had you wings of
Butterflies

Written by Toad The Wet Sprocket

He has many faces
Full moon cycle changes

Why leave the cages
Why question nature
How is it better
Not in the world and not wanting

He give any reason
Full moon turn of season

Why follow sages
Why ask for heaven
Why give up praying
Nothing is worse than not wanting to

A car in every garage
A chicken in every pot
he has...

Be who you are
If it fits in the system
Say what you want
But you might die if they listen
They think in the politics
Of gasoline and torture

Please only talk to me in the dark
Please only talk to me in the dark

Write what you will
If you write it in a prison
Sing how you feel
But you might die if they listen
They think in the politics
Of rosaries and chains

And it's hard to tell the right from the wrong
When the right is protecting the wrong

Be who you are
But not where there are people
Reality is taught
Right and wrong, there is no middle
We think in politics
Of money and ourselves

And it's hard to tell the right from the wrong
When the right is protecting the wrong

And it's hard to know the right from the wrong
When the right is protecting the wrong

Be who you are
If it fits in the system
Say what you want
But you might die if they listen
They think in the politics
Of gasoline and torture

Please only talk to me in the dark
Please only talk to me in the dark

Write what you will
If you write it in a prison
Sing how you feel
But you might die if they listen
They think in the politics
Of rosaries and chains

And it's hard to tell the right from the wrong
When the right is protecting the wrong

Be who you are
But not where there are people
Reality is taught
Right and wrong, there is no middle
We think in politics
Of money and ourselves

And it's hard to tell the right from the wrong
When the right is protecting the wrong

And it's hard to know the right from the wrong
When the right is protecting the wrong

i've come here a thousand times, some things never change
"yes i will, anything you say"
i've quit this a million times, can't quite stay away
just one more time...i'll be ok
but i'm so damn tired

when i come back down
though i'm crazy to
anything you want from me i'll do

"hey joe, could you spare a buck
i could use some food"
what a laugh, one more fool
two hours and it's back again, lapping at my heels
stop yelling..i'll get through
but i'm so damn tired

i've come here a thousand time
some things never change
lay me down...take me away
god, i'm so damn tired

i've come here a thousand times, some things never change
"yes i will, anything you say"
i've quit this a million times, can't quite stay away
just one more time...i'll be ok
but i'm so damn tired

when i come back down
though i'm crazy to
anything you want from me i'll do

"hey joe, could you spare a buck
i could use some food"
what a laugh, one more fool
two hours and it's back again, lapping at my heels
stop yelling..i'll get through
but i'm so damn tired

i've come here a thousand time
some things never change
lay me down...take me away
god, i'm so d**n tired

open up and let me in
i was lucky to live, don't need to win
forgave myself and if that's a sin
it's not enough you'd even know it
you did right to call my bluff
'cause i won't say when i've had enough
and i worked so hard to need this stuff
and you tried so long to just ignore it

won't you come down where i am
words are hidden, understand

i won't repeat myself again
i will not repeat myself again
it's another promise d.o.a.
and despite my every hope there is no truth
behind my best intentioned oath

won't you come down where i am
words are hidden, understand
won't you come down
been away to long, i know i have

won't you come down, help me stand
there is healing in your hands
won't you come down where i am
words all leave me
been away too long
i know i've been away too long
i know i have

corporal brown was tall, boy!
and likes to go and fish
corporal's wife was quite fat
and was raving like a bitch
and i'm a bit drunk as i watch
they are yelling loud, he throws a punch
oh lord, what am i gonna do?
corporal brown was quite scared
when he looked down at her
corporal's wife was quite dead
so he carried her and took her outside
dug a grave and placed her inside
i was amazed
oh lord, what am i gonna do?

Covered in roses
No-one deserves it all
Covered in roses
What are they looking for
Take me for what I am
Not something more
When this boy
Becomes a man
Then you will know
Covered in roses
And no-one deserves it all
Covered in roses
Always before a fall

anyway now, it don't seem right
he is in there and you're on the outside
over pine ridge to wounded knee
there's blood on the ground as far as you see
crazy life

in the air i'm sensing a change in the weather
in the end the path is clear
does anyone remember here
did you all think he'd just disappear
crazy life
what have you done with Peltier
who did you think you'd taken away
crazy life

in the air i'm sensing a change in the weather
in the end the path is clear

burying won't stop it breathing forever
underground it takes to root

anyway, it don't seem right
he is in there and you're on the outside
what have you done with Peltier
who did you think you'd taken away
it's not over...

Been waiting to find
You could've been happier, given the time
If he'd make up his mind
You'd give yourself to anybody who would cross that line

And it was never a question
He was crowing for repair
You'd give him love and affection
But you couldn't keep him there

Get over regret
While you were sleeping with angels
He was under the bed
And the more skin you shed,
The more that the air in your throat will linger when you
Call him your friend

[chorus]

Staring at a cold little hand
Reading fault lines of a shell of a man
You were waiting for a word from above
Wouldn't you know it, no answer ever did come

And it was never a question
You were crowing for repair
You'd give him love and affection
But you couldn't keep him there

is it this place that makes me fall from you
forget the words that once rang so true
did we expect that life was ever fair, my god...
i sowed a field of rose and reaped a whipping rod
and everything i've held too tight inside
could make a part of me die
and if my lips could only speak the name
the dam would break

what is this ice that gathers round my heart
to stop the flood of warmth before it even starts
it would make me blind to what i thought would always be
the only constant in the world for me
and every hours of every day
i need to fight from pulling away
and if my mind could only lose the chain
the dam would break

for all the things i hid away
and all the words i could not say
the dam would break

i want to be clean, i want to be whole
i want revenge, i want control
i want to give up, i want to give in
destroy all i have been
i want to be cruel, i want to be cold
i want a chance to sell my soul
i want to break out, i want to dive in
to lose myself in sin
i don't need anything
i'm just wanting
just wanting
i don't need anything
i'm just wanting
just wanting
desire all desire is
desire feeds desire
desire all desire is
desire breeds desire
i want to scream, i want to shout
i want to have faith and never doubt
i want to bend, i want to break
to sleep and never wake
to break down walls and to escape
be alone and hide my face
i want to feel, i want to touch
want to stop wanting it so much
i don't need anything
i'm just wanting
just wanting
i don't need anything
i'm just wanting
just wanting
desire all desire is
desire feeds desire
desire all desire is
desire breeds desire

lead me well, don't clear my way
it's fascinating how the pallor can stay upon your face
when you are light like a little boy
flying kites and shouting to the world
you're shouting to the world your joy
don't fade, you're staying here with me
don't fade, i need to know that someone still believes

look around, see for yourself
he led us down and at the water's edge we knelt
petals in the lake and red upon my face
she's crying as we pray
and it all comes down to money, again
how could you forsake the love of god that way
don't fade, you're staying here with me
don't fade, i need to know that someone still believes.

> we were sharing so many words and feelings
age is heavier, it seems, than years alone
but, i told you things i wouldn't dream of telling anyone
are we drifting out, like flowers from a forgotten someone
don't go away
i can't feel the same without you
we were making so many plans and secrets
we would both be millionaires or kings or presidents
but like everything those little dreams
just kind of came and went
hard now just to make end meet
how soon we al forget

She said "I'm fine, I'm okay"
Cover up your trembling hands
There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left
When the good times never stay
And the cheap thrills always seem to fade away
When will we fall
When will we fall down

Jump back, gotta get out of here
Been too, too long this time
Jump back, gotta get out of here
When will, when will we fall down

She hates her life, she hates her skin
She even hates her friends
Tries to hold on to all the reputations she can't mend
And there's some chance we could fail
But the last time, someone's always there for bail
When will we fall
When will we fall down

Jump back, gotta get out of here
Been too, too long this time
Jump back, gotta get out of here
When will, when will we fall down
When will we, when will we fall down
When will we fall

She said "I'm fine, I'm okay"
Cover up your trembling hands
There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left
For the last time conscience calls
For a good friend, I was never there at all
When will we fall
When will we fall down

Jump back, gotta get out of here
Been too, too long this time
Jump back, gotta get out of here
When will, when will we fall down
When will we, when will we fall down
When will we fall

Paul is making me nervous
Paul is making me scared
Into this room he swaggers, like he's
God's own messenger
Change the name of my brother
Change the things that he said
Says that he speaks to him
But he never even knew the man
I'd give my life for him

Like water through my hands
You'd give him any ending
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from Heaven
To this world again
To this world again...

Take whatever you're needing
Take whatever you can
We're broken from within
Run to another land

Like water through my hands
Or is it just beginning
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from Heaven
To this world again
To this world again...

They took my brother
They ripped him from me
To twist his words as they did his body
Denied his family, denied his beauty
To lay him down at the feet of
Those he couldn't save
Couldn't save, couldn't save

Will it be the end?
Or is he still ascending?
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from Heaven
To this world again

*it's hard to rely on my good intentions
when my head's full of things that i can't mention
seems i usually get things right
but i can't understand what i did last night

it's hard to rely on my own good senses
when i miss so much that requires attention
have to laugh at myself sometimes
and i can see that i'm not blind

**there's little relief
give us reprieve
for all the things i've left behind
i'm positive that i'm not blind

i'm not afraid things won't get better
but it feels like this has gone on forever
you have to cry with your own blue tears
have to laugh with your own good cheer

*repeat

**repeat

i can't be hard on you
'cause you know i've been there too
learned a lot of things from you

but life gives little relief
give us reprieve
and when everyone is cold as ice
i clinch my fists and close my eyes
imagining the world outside
but i can see that i'm not blind

Lyrics by: Glen Phillips

it's hard to rely on my good intentions
when my head's full of things that i can't mention
seems i usually get things right
but i can't understand what i did last night

it's hard to rely on my own good senses
when i miss so much that requires attention
have to laugh at myself sometimes
and i can see that i'm not blind

there's little relief
give us reprieve
for all the things i've left behind
i'm positive that i'm not blind

i'm not afraid things won't get better
but it feels like this has gone on forever
you have to cry with your own blue tears
have to laugh with your own good cheer

it's hard to rely on my good intentions
when my head's full of things that i can't mention
seems i usually get things right
but i can't understand what i did last night

there's little relief
give us reprieve
imagining the world outside
i'm positive that i'm not blind

i can't be hard on you
'cause you know i've been there too
learned a lot of things from you

but life gives little relief
give us reprieve
and when everyone is cold as ice
i clinch my fists and close my eyes
imagining the world outside
but i can see that i'm not blind

Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love
Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love
Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love

Sheepdog
Standing in the rain,
Bullfrog
Doing it again
some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
what makes you think you're something special when you smile
Child-like
No one understands,
Jack knife
In your sweaty hands,
some kind of solitude is measured out in years
you don't know what it's like to listen to your fears
You can talk to me
you can talk to me
you can talk to me
if you're lonely you can talk to me

Big man
Walking in the park
Whigwam
Frightened of the dark
Some kind of innocence is measured out in you
You think you know me but you haven't got a clue
You can talk to me
if you're lonely you can talk to me

Why try
When everything I do feels half right?
I wander through my life
Everything I say seems half right
Sometimes I'm standing here
High on a riverbed
And light breaks through
And everything feels good for a while
High on a riverbed
Where am I
When everything I do feels half right?
How can I be satisfied
Writing words from someone else's lies?
Sometimes I'm standing here
High on a riverbed
And light breaks through
And everything feels good for a while
High on a riverbed
Light breaks through
I see myself sometimes
Vision is a mystery half blind
I keep missing all the time
Seeing what I could be if I...
If I...
Sometimes I'm standing here
High on a riverbed
And light breaks through
And everything feels good for a while
High on a riverbed
Light breaks through
And everything feels good for a while
High on a riverbed
Light breaks through
And everything feels good for a while
High on a riverbed
Light breaks through
And everything feels good for a while

Lyrics by: Glen Phillips

There's an old Virginian vibraphone
With a calculated gait
And a man who thinks he's Al Capone
With a cumberbund and cape

Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And talk to the man if you feel he needs talking to
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
And the fish upon the docks are dying

There's an orchestra in rococo
and an insulated dwarf
And the ships are sinking in the sea
As they sail from the shores

Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you

And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
And the fish upon the docks are dying
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
For the grunion in the sand entwining

Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And talk to yourself if you feel you need talking to

Take her arms and hold her down, hold her down, hold her down, hold her down
Until she stops moving
Take her arms and hold her down, hold her down, hold her down, hold her down
Until she stops kicking

And they don't know her but what the fuck
They've got nothing else they can do
And they've no reason but still they come
And I'd have a hard time facing you
This crime, I've seen what a man can do

Take her arms and hold her down, hold her down, hold her down, hold her down
Until she stops screaming
Take her arms and hold her down, hold her down, hold her down, hold her down
Until she stops breathing

And they don't know her but what the fuck
They've got nothing else they can do
And they've no reason but still they come
And I'd have a hard time facing you
This crime, the shame of what a man can do
I would've died from all the hell that you've been through

Take the night back, all they've stolen
All we took from you

Take her arms and hold her down...
Until she stops moving
take her arms and hold her down...
until she she stops kicking

And they don't know her
But what the f**k
They got nothing else they can do
And there's no reason
But still they come

And I
Would have a hard time facing you
This crime
I've seen what a man can do

Take her arms and hold her down...
Until she stops screaming
Take her arms and hold her down...
Until she stops breathing

And they don't know her
But what the fuck
They got nothing else they can do
And there's no reason
But still they come

And I
Would have a hard time facing you
This crime
The shame of what a man can do
I would have died
From all the hell that you've been through

Take the night back
All they've stolen
All we took from you

Take the night back
All they've stolen
All we took from you

All I need is hope

I told you before, stay away from my door
Don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother
The freaks on the phone, won't leave me alone
So don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother
No!

I, I found out!
I, I found out!

Now that I showed you what I been through
Don't take nobody's word what you can do
There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky
Now that I found out I know I can cry

I, I found out!
I, I found out!

Some of you sitting there with your cock in your hand
Don't get you nowhere don't make you a man
I heard something 'bout my Ma and my Pa
They didn't want me so they made me a star

I, I found out!
I, I found out!

Old Hare Krishna got nothing on you
Just keep you crazy with nothing to do
Keep you occupied with pie in the sky
There ain't no guru who can see through your eyes

I, I found out!
I, I found out!

I've seen through junkies, I've been through it all
I seen religion from Jesus to Paul
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine
No one can harm you, feel your own pain

I, I found out!
I, I found this out!
I, I found out!

watching me
a bird upon a roof with coal-black feathers
cocks his head
to catch my eye
wandering and unfocused i cannot meet his stare
he takes to wing
silhouette against the sun
surrounded by the glare

funny how the days go by invisibly
and faster than i realize the things i think about
strange to find the calendar my enemy
and scared that when i die so will the things
i think about

i believe in so many things
i know that none of them are true
and my feet
firm upon a pathway i am far too blind to see
leading me

funny how the days go by invisibly
and faster than i realize the things i think about
scared to find the calendar my enemy
and when i die so will the thousand things
i think about

on and on and on...

One part of me just wants to tell you everything
One part just needs the quiet
And if I'm lonely here, I'm lonely here
And on the telephone, you offer reassurance

I will not take these things for granted
I will not take these things...

How can I hold the part of me that only you can carry?
It needs a strength I haven't found
But if it's frightening, I'll bear the cold
And on the telephone, you offer warm asylum

I'm listening, flowers in the garden
Laughter in the hall, children in the park

I will not take these things for granted (x3)
I will not take these things...anymore

To crawl inside the wire and feel something near me
To feel this accepting
That it is lonely here, but not alone
And on the telephone, you offer visions dancing

I'm listening, music in the bedroom
Laughter in the hall, dive into the ocean
Singing by the fire, running through the forest
Standing in the wind, the rolling canyons

I will not take these things for granted (x3)
I will not take these things...anymore

one part of me just wants to tell you everything
one part just needs the quiet
and if i'm lonely here, i'm lonely here
and on the telephone
you offer reassurance
i will not take these things for granted
how can i hold the part of me that only you can carry
it needs a strength i haven't found
but if it's frightening, i'll bear the cold
and on the telephone
you offer warm asylum
i'm listening
flowers in the garden
laughter in the hall
children in the park
i will not take these things for granted
anymore
to crawl inside the wire and feel something near me
to feel this accepting
that it is lonely here, but not alone
and on the telephone
you offer visions dancing
i'm listening
music in the bedroom
laughter in the hall
dive into the ocean
singing by the fire
running through the forest
and standing in the wind
in rolling canyons
i will not take these things for granted

Imagine there's no heaven - it's easy if you try
No hell below us, above us, only sky
Imagine all the people, living for today

Imagine there's no country - I wonder if you do?
Nothing to kill or die for; no religion, too
Imagine all the people, living life in peace, you-hoo

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope that you will join us
And the world would live as one

Imagine no possessions - I wonder if you can?
Nothing to keep only from greed or hunger - a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people, sharing all the world, you-hoo

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope that you will join us
And the world would live as one

Didn't know they were a part of it, I can't tell
It would seem there's a lot that I don't know
But here I am and I'm
Standing with a perfect view,
I could not go far enough away from you
I've seen it all before and I know it's only words

Hello, I can't hear it's in my ear
Hello, hello

Never meant half of the things I said to you
So you know there's a half that might be true
And here I am and I'm
Standing with a perfect view
I could not go far enough away from you
I've seen it all before and I know it's only words

Hello, have you heard a single word
Hello, hello

Free my heart to feel again
Free my mind to understand
To run unfettered
Pull the blinders from my eyes
Let me see these endless skies
And drown here where I stand
In the beauty of the land

And all my life
It lay inside
For all my life

Tear this anger from my soul
Wash me clean and leave me whole
Leave me higher
Work my hands to make them strong
Lift my arms to carry on
That anywhere I go, to never be alone

And all my life
It lay inside
For all my life

We were always leaving
Since we started breathing
And running back, no wonder
We are torn asunder

To give me life
To give me life
To give me life

Through the door,
What do I see?

Bradley says it's haunted
The house upon the hill
And if we meet at 4 a.m.
Then we could know for sure
We carried the ladders
And leaned them against it
And climbed them as we looked
Someone kicked the ladder
Bradley took a spill
Said his leg was broken so we
Dragged him down the hill

And through the door
What do I see? (it happens)
Something is happening
Is it for me?

Mom found out the whole thing
Mine was first to call
Bradley's leg healed badly
At least he still can walk
We leave in the morning and
No one will hear us and
Meet in the clearing and
I'll bring the sandwiches
David, come quickly
You're missing the whole thing
Now open your big eyes
Take in the sunrise

And through the door
What do I see? (it happens)
Something is happening
Is it for me

bradley says it's haunted
the house upon the hill
and if we meet at four a.m.
then we would know for sure
we carry the ladders
and lean them against it
and climb them as we look

one more time he says good-night
turns out the door and off the light
cursing low as if she didn't know
one more time he'd comfort her
as if a word could break through her
she's so quiet and he's sick of it

too long, too late this time
too far, too great in my mind

one more time a run-around
nothing meant by anyone
fine with them, such a quite din
says he wants to leave a while
she just sits and tries to smile
"that's ok, it was boring anyway"

too long, too late this time
too far, too great in my mind

says she needs a worshiper
someone who'll do anything at all for her
wishful thinker
he don't need this schizo bull
each one misses by so far
they don't see it come, but who ever does

one more time he says good-night

Written by Toad The Wet Sprocket

Been two weeks now
Kitchen stinks now
Finally got the guts to saunter in
And don a pair of gloves

And the janitor sleeping in a drum
Janitor I've become

Bubbles bristles
Thorns and thistles
Liquid sticks to things
That never should be seen by anyone

Like the janitor sleeping in a drum
Janitor I've become

And it amazes me how easily things go away
A chemical for every need
And someone else's problem when I leave

Is the janitor sleeping in a drum
Janitor you'll become
You'll become.

Should I have believed I was still a boy
Naive and sane, protected wholly
Tongue-tied and restless
Breathing of futures
Know me; I am not a child
'Though you have age
You have not felt the pain...
Should I have remained obedient and docile
So far restrained
The hands that hold me back
Could break my bones
As each one snaps
I hate my home
Far on my way
I should know, I was born here
Know me
Am I just some fool? Am I far from ready?
Just let me fall and I'll believe you.
Chained up and pampered I strain until I crack
Know me before you kill what I want to be
And leave me cold
Bled white
And feeling old
Far on my way
I should know, I was born here
Know me--know all I am
Far on my way
I was cold then I exploded
Know me

Should I have believed I was still a boy
Naive and sane, protected wholly
Tongue-tied and restless
Breathing of futures
Know me; I am not a child
'Though you have age
You have not felt the pain...
Should I have remained obedient and docile
So far restrained
The hands that hold me back
Could break my bones
As each one snaps
I hate my home
Far on my way
I should know, I was born here
Know me
Am I just some fool? Am I far from ready?
Just let me fall and I'll believe you.
Chained up and pampered I strain until I crack
Know me before you kill what I want to be
And leave me cold
Bled white
And feeling old
Far on my way
I should know, I was born here
Know me--know all I am
Far on my way
I was cold then I exploded
Know me

here in my mind is a wall i can't climb

don't listen now
there are liars everywhere

deep in my heart is a stone i must cut

don't listen now
there are liars everywhere
liars are everywhere

Well I wonder, do we learn?
Seems we're making the same wrong turns
Call you sacred, call you obscene
Call you faithless, call you anything

Call and you listen
Listen (x3)

I'm a liar, so it seems
My desire could justify anything
So is there nothing that lies in between
This cold silence and a scream?

Scream, listen
Listen (x3)

Caught in headlines
We are frozen and cannot hide
There's no break, no time
If you can, I might

Call and you listen
Listen (x7

life is suffering
tee-hee, ha-ha
life is suffering
tee-hee, ha-ha

cold and shuddering
tee-hee, ha-ha
cruel and pummeling
tee-hee, ha-ha
smile on little buddha, smile on
little buddha, smile on
it's only illusion then it's gone

lost and struggling
tee-hee, ha-ha
life is suffering
tee-hee, ha-ha
smile on little buddha, smile on
little buddha, smile on
it's only illusion then you're gone

Lyrics by: Glen Phillips

opened my eyes
the fire had come
not for the end of days
not for the faithless ones
not for vision understood
burns because it has to burn
change'll happen whether we
are still or moving
breathe in waves of doubt
bitter in your mouth
you will exhale cinnamon clouds
when it is quiet and still
i can feel older here
change what i can and pray
the hope will not disappear
when we are not denying anything
nothing is an enemy
delicately balancing
the perfect world
ride these waves of doubt
bitter in your mouth
you will exhale cinnamon clouds
little heaven
riding waves of doubt
turns me inside out
i will exhale primal shout
little heaven
i understand
the fire will come
not for the strength of will
or passion of anyone
i understand
the fire will come
not for the end of days
not for the faithless ones

little man big man who came first
what is the measure of our worth
if there was a storm rolled in
who'd run inside
who'd go walking

little man big man what's inside
it's all in the places
where we find our pride
if there was a soul lost by the road
who'd pass by
who'd take it home

where is the beast lying
is there a beast hiding

little man big man who is who
it's all in the damage that our toys can do
if there was a rock and a window pane
who'd throw stones
who'd walk away

where is the beast lying
is there a beast hiding

are we learning
are we moving
little man big man fade away
it's all in the in the violence of the games we play
it's all in the in the violence of the games we play
it's all in the love we give today

I can't believe you
You bend your words like Uri Geller's spoons
Not quite safe here
When every judgement seems to smack of doom

Are you ok? I'm just fine
You take Nanci, for me Loretta's fine

A legal precedent could set us straight
But no one's brought up suit
And I'm assuming if they did,
The point would still be moot

Are you joking? No I'm just fine
You take Nanci, for me Loretta's fine
No, I've changed my mind
I'll take nanci, for you Loretta's fine

And still we walk without quite seeing things
And I'll admit there's not that much to see
I will follow through
And expect that you will follow suit

And I can't believe you
You bend your words like Uri Geller's spoons
Not quite safe here
When every judgement seems to smack of doom

Are you ok? I'm just fine
You take Nanci, for me Loretta's fine
No, I've changed my mind
I'll take Nanci, for you Loretta's fine
Loretta's fine
Loretta's fine

We sing the nightingale song alive
Streets never border further than my eyes
We sing the nightingale song alive
We might be different but our hearts won't lie
And little ever changes if anything at all
But the song rings loudly through these halls

We sing the nightingale song alive
We might be different but our hearts won't lie
And little ever changes when you view it from the sky
The damage we encounter, earth just passes by
Little ever changes, if anything at all
Just remind ourselves how small we are

we sing the nightingale song alive
streets never border further than my eyes
we sing the nightingale song alive
we might be different but our hearts won't lie

and little ever changes if anything at all
but the song rings loudly through these halls

we sing the nightingale song alive
we might be different but our hearts won't lie

and little ever changes when you view it from the sky
and the damage we encounter the earth just passes by
and little ever changes if anything at all
and we remind ourselves how small we are

something rushes over me
and i find myself standing here
lift my eyes up to the sky
and offer a silent prayer

sometime all the shouting stops
and the restlessness loses hold
and i cry out to everything
that nothing is alone

if the winter won't turn me
then the summer can't burn me
and the rain will never
fall upon a restless soul
nothing is alone

One little girl
Told to know her place
Told she must believe
And do what he says
One little girl
Taught that she is small
Taught that she is less
And man's decree is law
One little boy who'd know her too well
But that one little boy could send her to hell
One little man who'd care if she cried
But that one little man would leave her
And then she'd die
One little girl
Is beaten 'till she faints
Told that this is love
Told that she will have to take it
One little girl
Is just a bit confused
Thought that she was human too

CHORUS

One little girl
Couldn't run away
Anywhere she'd go
The rules and men the same
One little girl
Couldn't take the pain
Numbed herself 'till none remained

CHORUS

One little girl
Told to know her place
Told she must believe
And do what he says
One little girl
Taught that she is small
Taught that she is less
And man's decree is law
One little boy who'd know her too well
But that one little boy could send her to hell
One little man who'd care if she cried
But that one little man would leave her

One little girl

Told that this is love
Told that she will have to take it
One little girl

CHORUS

One little girl
Couldn't run away
Anywhere she'd go
The rules and men the same
One little girl
Couldn't take the pain
Numbed herself 'till none remained

CHORUS

Wouldn't know any more than home
And couldn't see much further
And light won't help
A wound untended grows
And never heals
Standing face to east
Waiting for an answer
But the only sound is desert wind
And when the wind was cold
Bundled up and packed away we shiver still
Finding more than one wind blows
I couldn't sleep
Something kept me still and wide awake
And gnawing at my breast
Something I don't know
I couldn't shake it
Laying face to wall
Plaster tells me nothing
But I sense a movement somewhere else
And 'though it's far away
Bundled up in safety here I shiver still
Finding more than one wind blows
He walked alone
Facing wind and snow
Moving slowly
He staggers, moves again
Somehow stronger now
The wind won't touch him

CHORUS

Azul palido
As death it waits for me
After storms
And after pouring rain
Vainest thunder
Pale blue remains
Azul palido
As death it follows me
Mocking weather
An attempt in vain
Weakest thunder
Laughing at the rain
Azul palido
As death it comforts me
After storms
And after pouring rain
Crashing thunder
Pale blue remains
