Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch bunin` I was a key that could use a little turnin` So tired that I couldn`t sleep So many secrets I could`t keep Promised myself I would`t breathe One more promise I could`t keep It seems no one can help me now I`m in too deep there`s no way out This time I have really led myself astray Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I`m neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life`s mystery seem so faded I can go there no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just drownin` in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train Everything seems cut and dry Day and night earth and sky Somehow I just don`t believe it Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I`m neither here nor there instrumental break Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin` at the rain A little out of touch, little insane It`s just easier than feelin` with the pain Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I`m neither here nor there Runaway train never coming back Runaway train tearin` up the track Runaway train burnin` in my veins Runaway but it always seems the same... i Runaway train (탈주기차) by Soul Asylum (영혼안식처) Call you up in the middle of night 밤이 깊어갈 무렵 당신에게 전화를 합니다. Like a firefly without a light 불빛을 밝힐수 없는 반딧불처럼.. you were there like a blowtorch burnin' 그대는 타오르는 불꽃처럼 그곳에 서있었죠. I was a key that could use a little turnin' 난 조금은 돌려볼수 있는 열쇠와 같았어요. so tired that I could't even sleep 너무나 지쳐서 잠을이룰수 없었죠. so many secrets I could't keep 너무나 많은 약속을 지키지 않았답니다. promised myself II would't breathe 다시는 숨쉬지 않으리라 자신과 약속했지만.. one more promise I couldn't keep 그건 내가 지킬수 없는 또 하나의 약속이었을뿐.. it seems no one can help me now 이젠 나를 도와줄 이는 아무도 없겠지요.. I'm in too deep there's no way out 나는 너무나 깊이 빠져 헤어 나올수가 없어요.. this time I have really led myself astray 이번엔 정말로 내 스스로 수렁에 빠져버린 겁니다 ** Runaway train never going back 다시는 돌아오지 않을 탈주 기차처럼 wrong way on a one-way track 돌아올수도 없는 잘못된 길만 가는군요.. seems like I should be getting somewhere 어디론가로 가야만 할거 같은데... somehow I'm neither here nor there 나는 지금 이곳도 저곳도 아닌 곳에 서있으니.. Can you help me remember how to smile 어떻게 미소지었는지 기억할수 있게 나를 도와줄수 있나요??? make it somehow all seem worthwhile 모든것이 가치있게 보일수 있게 도와줄수 있나요??? ... how on earth did I get so jaded 나는 어쩌면 그렇게 지쳐버릴 수 있었을까요? life's mystery seem so faded 인생의 수수께끼가 빛을 바랜듯 하네요... I can go where no one else can go 난 어떤이도 갈수 없는 곳을 갈 수 있어요.. I know what no one else knows 난 어떤이도 모르는 것을 알고 있어요... here I am just drownin' in the train 바로 이자리에서 빗물에 잠겨갑니다. with a ticket for a runaway train 탈주 기차의 티켓을 손에 쥔채.. everything seems cut and dry 모든것이 명확히 구분되는 것처럼 보이지요.. day and night earth and sky 밤과 낮. 하늘과 땅처럼..말이죠.. somehow I just don't believe it 어쨋건 나는 그런것들을 믿지 않아요... ** Bought a ticket for a runaway train 탈주 기차의 티켓을 한장 샀었지요.. like a madman laughin' at the rain 퍼붓는 비 속에서 웃고 있는 미치광이처럼 말이죠.. a little out of touch little insane 조금은 제정신이 아닌듯..조금은 미쳐버린 듯이.. it's just easier than feelin' with the pain 그것이 고통을 느끼며 사는 것보다는 쉬운 방법이겠지요.. ** Runaway train never coming back 다시는 돌아올수 없는 탈주 기차.. Runaway train tearin'up the track 궤도를 부수며 달려가는 탈주 기차.. Runaway train burnin' in my veins 내 혈관 속에서 불타버리는 탈주 기차.. Runaway train always seems to stay. 아무리 도망가려 해도 ..언제나 머물러야만 하는가. |

Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn’t rang for so long And the time flies by like a vulture in the sky Suddenly he breaks into song I’m waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone I'm waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone Hello, speak up, is there somebody there? These hang-ups are getting me down In a world frozen over with over-exposure Let’s talk it over, let’s go out and paint the town I’m waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone Cause I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove I want somebody to shove me You’re a dream for insomniacs, prize in the Cracker Jacks All the difference in the world is just a call away And I’m waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone Yes I’m waiting by the phone I’m waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone Cause I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove I want somebody to shove me Yes I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove I want somebody to shove me |

Tired of playin' the clown If I want your opinion I'll ask ya I can get myself down Night driving without headlight Wearin' sunglasses too Lookin' good but sure don't feel right Anything to be cool Doin' hopscotch with my legs tied Jumpin' rope in wet cement Black leather in midday sunshine All your mother's money's spent Doin' time on the metal detector Like to drown in your pool Coverin' up everything that's defective Anything to be cool A burning heart could be so cool Won't you be my fashion victim Come on, I'm an April Fool for you Holdin' on to what's left of real life Anything to be cool (x4) A burning heart like an April Fool Won't you be my fashion victim Come on, I'm an April Fool I'm a mid-spring snowfall, joke's on you I'm an April Fool for you I'm an April Fool for you I'm an April Fool (x3) |

Two boys on a playground
Tryin' to push each other down See the crowd gather 'round Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride I don't care 'bout no wheelchair I've got so much left to do with my life Moving backwards through time Never learn, never mind That side's yours, this side's mine Brother you ain't my kind You're a black soldier, white fight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride Sure like to feel some pride But this place just makes me feel sad inside Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight? Keeps the kids off the streets Gives 'em something to do, something to eat This spot was a playground This flat land used to be a town Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride Sure like to feel some pride But this place just makes me feel sad inside Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride I don't care 'bout no wheelchair I've got so much left to do with my life |

I want to live with you in the fifth dimension
In a dream I've never had Cause I just can't live like this in a world like this I just want a kiss goodbye And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I sometimes get annoyed I know just where I'm at This is my song of joy And now I know there are no secret trick, no correct politics Just liars and lunatics And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I would not take it personally, it's just the child in me I never really knew how much I had Woe is me, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had |

I'm gonna put it back together if it tears me apart If I can keep it up If I can keep it up I've been complaining like a broken record Gonna get what I want if it takes forever If I can keep it up If I can keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing I know it seems funny tryin' to understand It's just that things don't always go the way you planned Still you keep it up Still you keep it up Nothin' in the world's gonna keep me down I'm just a-holdin' out, just a-hangin' round Tryin' to keep it up Just to keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing Keep it up (x4) 747's gonna take us away Take us up to heaven, gonna be okay If we can keep it up If we can keep it up Though the rain weighs down your wings, Still the caged bird's got to sing Keep it up (x8) |

Lives in a little lonely town
No one's around except for the drinking Nobody ever gets around But those who leave the township sinking May you rot in heaven Gotta be home by seven And the field burns away The sky breathes it in So why sit and wait for the new world to begin I'm comin' out across your border With new orders for you to take I'd really like to take out your daughter Down in the water, down by the lake When the cold water's on her skin I can feel how long it's been And the neighbors will all be there And no one will know what to wear So why sit and wait for the world to begin I got a lot I gotta do Just to get through the end of the day It hardly ever even happens But I go to sleep the same anyway And you can't believe in yourself You can't believe in anyone else So why sit and wait for the new world to begin |

She laughed in my face So seriously I took her I was a disgrace I was out of line; I was out of place Out of time to save face See the open mouth of my suitcase Sayin' leave this place Leave without a trace Leave without a trace Leave without a trace I tried to get a good job With honest pay I might as well join the mob The benefits are okay Standing in the sun with a popsicle Everything is possible With a lot of luck and a pretty face And some time to waste Leave without a trace Leave without a trace Leave without a trace I tried to dance at a funeral New Orleans style I joined the Grave Dancer's Union I had to file Trying to do the right thing, play it straight The right thing changes from state to state Don't forget to take your mace If you're out walking late I liked to see your face You left without a trace You leave without a trace |

Why you always want to get the best of me
I'm like a seeing-eye dog and I can't even see They're naked and they're following my master who is blind And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart Better get yourself a little street smart Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure It's just my bittersweetheart It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start But you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night Bittersweetheart Without a shortcut, without a head-start Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure My bittersweetheart It's the hardest part Bittersweetheart Are you in there, are you beating Beating me up until I'm bleeding How much blood can you spare Bittersweetheart Think just a drink might get you to the good part Lyin' in bed just a'wonderin' what to do, It's a bittersweetheart that'a a hard heart to cure In time inside you find you always wind up with a bittersweetheart |

She had 13 kids, each one had 13 problems
Three uppers, ten downers, just to put up with this And she don't know which children belong to which father But she loves them all anyway and they each get a kiss And the toilet ain't flushing and the toaster is smoking The vacuum don't suck but it needs a new belt But she saw the world through the eyes of a child And remembers how good it was and how good it felt He picked up the paper from the bitter cold morning He had just gone to sleep, he had to get up for work By morning he's a watchman and by night he's a waiter In the late afternoon he works as a clerk And he can't pay the doctor bills, he just can't afford the pills The car's repossesed and the child support's due But he saw the world through the eyes of a child Big problems seem smaller and old things seem new She was just six when she turned her first trick Now she's thirteen and it don't make her sick And she does lots of crystal and she owns her own pistol Got a goldfish named Silver and a pimp who's named Rick And some are like customers and some are like patients She'd have gone back to school if she'd just had the patience But she saw the world through the eyes of a child None of the nightmares, and nothing to deny She saw the world through the eyes of a child Yes she's seen it all and she knows they're all lies |

Holed up in the dressing room without a dress
Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess And I knew all about my surprise party I was spoiled and depressed Hey I acted surprised and I told lots of lies Yes I did my best Stop the truck at the truck stop, I need something to help me crash Food stamps, checks and credits cards, but they only accepted cash There was sweat beating on my brow My heart was beating out of my chest So I stole everything they couldn't give away Yes I did my best And I did the best that I could do With all the mess that I've been through What did you expect me to do I did my best for you I was waiting for a chain reaction with the missing link Waiting for that trickle-down forever circling the sink I was tired of being tired I could not get no rest So I kept sleep-walking and talking in my sleep Yes I did my best And I did the best that I could do With all the mess that I've been through What did you expect me to do I did my best for you |

It's been so long since I went away And yes, I miss the comforts of home But I guess I'm better off on my own No one told me people could be so cruel Nobody told me about any of this in school Still nobody understands the things that I don't understand I've nothing to write home about Nothing I have figured out Still I have the same old doubts Nothing to write home about Dear John, that ain't my name I'm just hangin' 'round to take the blame I'm filled with guilt, I'm filled with shame Too much or not enough it's all the same And no one wants to talk about the loss No one wants to talk about the cost Every one just looks away, just like any other day I've nothing to write home about Nothing I have figured out Still I have the same old doubts Nothing to write home about Who can teach me how to change my ways Who will come and save the day Who will tell me what to say When there's nothing left to say Nobody told me about any of this in school No one told me I'd be taken for a fool And everyone just looks away, and tries to make it through the day I've nothing to write home about Nothing I have figured out Still I have the same old doubts Nothing to write home about |

I've been vindicated
I've been loved and hated I've been pulled aside and told that life was overrated No, I don't believe it I just can't conceive it I can write all night but in the morning I can't read it Oh no, don't know what's the matter Stuck up on a ladder, scared of coming down If I don't get what I want And there ain't enough to go around I become oblivious to the obvious Just ridiculous As I flip the pages You're a time that ageless In between us lies a calm before the storm that rages Though we were related Couldn't be separated Tried to get ahead but only got decapitated If I don't get what you want And you don't get what I need We become oblivious to the obvious Just dysfunctional Shut down When I can't get keep from getting down And I grow tired of hangin' 'round I become invisible, unlivable Just dysfunctional Shut down |

She swings the string of pearls on the corner
The street lights reflect the light in the water The string it snaps and the pearls go sailing And they splash and bounce and roll 'cross the wet street As she bends to chase the pearls a car swings 'round the corner She darts from the eyes of the panic-struck driver Who's racing to the delivery room 'Cause in the back seat his wife is busting out of her womb And the sack breaks and out come the Siamese Twins Who grow up to become the first President With two heads Are better than one He puts his heads in his hands, says I got to put my heads together I can become the best President ever And not just President Fend for yourself Signs his name, takes the blame for all of the names with no shame In their beliefs They adjourn and they leave, and in walks a man With a broom and a knife and blood on his hands And he sweeps everything under the rug And goes home to his kids and gives them a hug But his wife was not there, she had just left a letter That said "you'd be much better off without me" Now his wife took the train to her ex-lover's funeral Who died in the bathroom, hit his head on a urinal When they got together, the knowledge was carnal And the widow was at the funeral, and they had quite a catfight And they fell into the hole where the casket was resting And the preacher just left in the middle of the service 'Cause death was one thing, but women made him nervous And he ran to his car and he drove 'round the corner Then something in the street caught the light in his eye He pulled over, reached down, and picked up a pearl from the gutter And he didn't know what to think And he brought it home and washed it in the sink And he gave the pearl to Sister Mary Teresa Who could not accept it so she gave it to Lisa, A young prostitute who was missing a pearl On the necklace that broke late last night |

She's all by herself at the end of the day
She'd talk to herself but wouldn't know what to say Wrings her hands and steps out of the bath The mirror laughs and splits her in half She looks around the room At her carpeted tomb Threw the phone on the floor Left the keys in the door Tell me when does life begin She got in the car and looked up at the stars And made a wish She held her breath and considered death And in the rearview mirror She looked back on her reflection She was a long way from she wanted to be And a long way from perfection Tell me when does life begin She chickened out and she called triple-A And told them the way After she paid they fixed the car She got on her way and she drove past the bar Where no one bought her a drink at She always though it was 'cause she was too fat And now she knows those places blow Or maybe it was her nose Tell me when does life begin |

Two boys on a playground
Tryin' to push each other down See the crowd gather 'round Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride I don't care 'bout no wheelchair I've got so much left to do with my life Moving backwards through time Never learn, never mind That side's yours, this side's mine Brother you ain't my kind You're a black soldier, white fight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride Sure like to feel some pride But this place just makes me feel sad inside Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight? Keeps the kids off the streets Gives 'em something to do, something to eat This spot was a playground This flat land used to be a town Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride Sure like to feel some pride But this place just makes me feel sad inside Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride I don't care 'bout no wheelchair I've got so much left to do with my life |

If I could remember what makes me feel good
I'd pound it down like a nail in wood I'd never let go of that feeling again I know I know that I felt this way before I'd pound it down like a cellar door I want you to know I'm behind you, by the way By the way that you look when I confront you By the way that I affect the things you do By the way did I tell you I can't leave you, by the way I'll be waiting for you on judgement day To watch all these judgements pass away And by the way the details fall, by the way By the way all the people that care about you Are all watching to see what your gonna do By the way have I told you I can't leave you, by the way By the way that you built me up again Back to a time when I was intense And now I know you play for what you pay By the way that you make me feel all right By the way that you put up such a fight By the way that my trust and faith is safe with you |

Sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night
Movie cameras rolling in And there goes my hero with his head between his legs And all this time I believed in him Now, what is the sound of snow falling down On the tombstone in the dead of the night? And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound Who speaks English when the watchman's not in sight? And where will you be in 1993? Still sitting in the same chair Sinning is for sinners and I'm just a beginner But I've never really been touched there Hey ain't it strange how some things never change Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same? You were thinkin' I was distressed about some universe oppressed But I was just depressed about my last pinball game I've learned to accept and not to expect The respect and neglect that I get I've tried not to forget about what hasn't happened yet And on this I place my last bet Hey did you give what you get Did you get what you give? of your ?? Winning is for winners And I know spring follows winter But I've never really been touched there You know it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice And you can't find peace anywhere Love's just not for lovers Get off your high horse brother Drop your fist and get out of here |

Like a firefly without a light 불빛을 밝힐수 없는 반딧불처럼.. you were there like a blowtorch burnin' 그대는 타오르는 불꽃처럼 그곳에 서있었죠. I was a key that could use a little turnin' 난 조금은 돌려볼수 있는 열쇠와 같았어요. so tired that I could't even sleep 너무나 지쳐서 잠을이룰수 없었죠. so many secrets I could't keep 너무나 많은 약속을 지키지 않았답니다. promised myself II would't breathe 다시는 숨쉬지 않으리라 자신과 약속했지만.. one more promise I couldn't keep 그건 내가 지킬수 없는 또 하나의 약속이었을뿐.. it seems no one can help me now 이젠 나를 도와줄 이는 아무도 없겠지요.. I'm in too deep there's no way out 나는 너무나 깊이 빠져 헤어 나올수가 없어요.. this time I have really led myself astray 이번엔 정말로 내 스스로 수렁에 빠져버린 겁니다 ** Runaway train never going back 다시는 돌아오지 않을 탈주 기차처럼 wrong way on a one-way track 돌아올수도 없는 잘못된 길만 가는군요.. seems like I should be getting somewhere 어디론가로 가야만 할거 같은데... somehow I'm neither here nor there 나는 지금 이곳도 저곳도 아닌 곳에 서있으니.. Can you help me remember how to smile 어떻게 미소지었는지 기억할수 있게 나를 도와줄수 있나요??? make it somehow all seem worthwhile 모든것이 가치있게 보일수 있게 도와줄수 있나요??? ... how on earth did I get so jaded 나는 어쩌면 그렇게 지쳐버릴 수 있었을까요? life's mystery seem so faded 인생의 수수께끼가 빛을 바랜듯 하네요... I can go where no one else can go 난 어떤이도 갈수 없는 곳을 갈 수 있어요.. I know what no one else knows 난 어떤이도 모르는 것을 알고 있어요... here I am just drownin' in the train 바로 이자리에서 빗물에 잠겨갑니다. with a ticket for a runaway train 탈주 기차의 티켓을 손에 쥔채.. everything seems cut and dry 모든것이 명확히 구분되는 것처럼 보이지요.. day and night earth and sky 밤과 낮. 하늘과 땅처럼..말이죠.. somehow I just don't believe it 어쨋건 나는 그런것들을 믿지 않아요... ** Bought a ticket for a runaway train 탈주 기차의 티켓을 한장 샀었지요.. like a madman laughin' at the rain 퍼붓는 비 속에서 웃고 있는 미치광이처럼 말이죠.. a little out of touch little insane 조금은 제정신이 아닌듯..조금은 미쳐버린 듯이.. it's just easier than feelin' with the pain 그것이 고통을 느끼며 사는 것보다는 쉬운 방법이겠지요.. ** Runaway train never coming back 다시는 돌아올수 없는 탈주 기차.. Runaway train tearin'up the track 궤도를 부수며 달려가는 탈주 기차.. Runaway train burnin' in my veins 내 혈관 속에서 불타버리는 탈주 기차.. Runaway train always seems to stay. 아무리 도망가려 해도 ..언제나 머물러야만 하는가. |

Nothing happened, it's just two people passing through
Hearing voices in my head, hope they never lie to you Why's something always gotta be up with you Whatever I do is never enough for someone like you Passing through you all the time Turning blood into wine Turning blood into wine Who'll forgive me, who's to say if it's right or wrong And you won't see me in a light that shines on me And how come something's always gotta be up with you Back on my feet but the night's getting long, do you think about me too Turning blood into wine It's passing through you all the time Turning blood into wine Three more days and you'll be hanging on the line And if they ask you how I'm doing Just tell 'em that I'm fine Staying out all the time Is turning blood into wine Turning blood into wine Blood into wine |

Almost gave up yesterday, almost made it to the top
Short of dying just the other day, fell short of picking up a mop If it's the thought that counts, you can always count on me I think about it all the time It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning Here it comes, my peace of mind Cause I'm close, so close, so close I'm close, so close, so close Falling short of proving it, just a hair from the truth Little shy of improving it, here I come, I'm coming through Pretty soon I'm going to shed this skin I'm wearing I've been keeping it inside No one cares just how you got there No one cares how hard you've tried But you're close, so close, so close You're close, so close, so close Well I've known you forever, we complete each other's thoughts Ain't like we never got in trouble, it's just we've never gotten caught And if you've got a secret It's in me you can confide And if we ever get split up I'll always be on your side Cause we're close, so close, so close We're close, so close, so close |

It's a shame you're not here on the cross in my ear
Hearing things loud and clear, come outside have no fear And clear the smoke, get some fresh air, someone waits, someone cares In the broad light of day, trouble seems so far away At the top of the day When the reign sways Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The child that remains Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away Please don't ask me how I am, a little tired, a little scared I'm not amused, not upset, don't need a leash, I'm not your pet So loosen up, feel the breeze, let me hear, hear you breathe It's better than, bitter now, when you breathe I love that sound But you know I'll look after You like no one Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The child that remains Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away If I die before I wake, light a fuse, bake a cake I don't mind if I go, make it quick, don't be slow But you know I'll remember You like no one Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The smile that remains Will take these chains away |

They're all laughing at your clothes, standing in the lunch line You're the talk of the town cause you're up and you're down It's a cycle, I've found, it always comes around But I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing Air raids in the afternoon, the children are playing Switchblades, colored red balloons, no one hears your praying And it comes back to you, all the things that you do Will come looking for you, will come looking for you But I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing Doorways lead to other rooms, always leave you lying Face down in a stranger's tomb, didn't know you were dying And you rise and you fall, and you wait for the call You're watching the walls, you're watching the walls But I will still be laughing I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing I will still be laughing |

Tryin' to push each other down See the crowd gather 'round Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride I don't care 'bout no wheelchair I've got so much left to do with my life Moving backwards through time Never learn, never mind That side's yours, this side's mine Brother you ain't my kind You're a black soldier, white fight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride Sure like to feel some pride But this place just makes me feel sad inside Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight? Keeps the kids off the streets Gives 'em something to do, something to eat This spot was a playground This flat land used to be a town Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride Sure like to feel some pride But this place just makes me feel sad inside Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride I don't care 'bout no wheelchair I've got so much left to do with my life |

There is a black star somewhere in the night
It's like a sunspot, a reminder of the light Will you lead me now, don't let me down Will you help me find my way Black star Black star Black star There is a black star There is a cold drink coming my way I never wanted much more anyway In the darkest night can I pick you out Will you help me find my way Don't leave me now, leave me astray Black star Black star Black star There is back star There is a black star somewhere in the night |

She walks into the outhouse
The cold night breathes into her face The flies are standing still now The moon it spills through the place And she starts wondering it’s like to be liked by everyone And like everyone be just like anyone And just wants to be so just like anyone She reaches through the darkness Her fingers touch the porcelain seat She spins and pulls her pants down The cold air holds her like a theif She starts wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen And trying not to seem so just like anyone Just like anyone The door comes screeching open She walks into the evening air She disappears in the darkness All left’s the faint smell of her hair She’s done wondering what it’s like to be liked by everyone And like everyone be just like anyone And just wants to be so just like anyone And wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen And trying not to seem so just like anyone Just like anyone |

I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway Where hustle's the name of the game And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain There's been a load of compromisin' On the road to my horizon But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo Like a rhinestone cowboy Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know And offers comin' over the phone Well I really don't mind the rain And a smile can hide all the pain But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way And I dream of the things I'll do With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe There'll be a load of compromisin' On the road to my horizon But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo Rhinestone cowboy Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know And offers comin' over the phone |

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch bunin` I was a key that could use a little turnin` So tired that I couldn`t sleep So many secrets I could`t keep Promised myself I would`t breathe One more promise I could`t keep It seems no one can help me now I`m in too deep there`s no way out This time I have really led myself astray Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I`m neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life`s mystery seem so faded I can go there no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just drownin` in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train Everything seems cut and dry Day and night earth and sky Somehow I just don`t believe it Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I`m neither here nor there instrumental break Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin` at the rain A little out of touch, little insane It`s just easier than feelin` with the pain Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I`m neither here nor there Runaway train never coming back Runaway train tearin` up the track Runaway train burnin` in my veins Runaway but it always seems the same... i Runaway train (탈주기차) by Soul Asylum (영혼안식처) Call you up in the middle of night 밤이 깊어갈 무렵 당신에게 전화를 합니다. Like a firefly without a light 불빛을 밝힐수 없는 반딧불처럼.. you were there like a blowtorch burnin' 그대는 타오르는 불꽃처럼 그곳에 서있었죠. I was a key that could use a little turnin' 난 조금은 돌려볼수 있는 열쇠와 같았어요. so tired that I could't even sleep 너무나 지쳐서 잠을이룰수 없었죠. so many secrets I could't keep 너무나 많은 약속을 지키지 않았답니다. promised myself II would't breathe 다시는 숨쉬지 않으리라 자신과 약속했지만.. one more promise I couldn't keep 그건 내가 지킬수 없는 또 하나의 약속이었을뿐.. it seems no one can help me now 이젠 나를 도와줄 이는 아무도 없겠지요.. I'm in too deep there's no way out 나는 너무나 깊이 빠져 헤어 나올수가 없어요.. this time I have really led myself astray 이번엔 정말로 내 스스로 수렁에 빠져버린 겁니다 ** Runaway train never going back 다시는 돌아오지 않을 탈주 기차처럼 wrong way on a one-way track 돌아올수도 없는 잘못된 길만 가는군요.. seems like I should be getting somewhere 어디론가로 가야만 할거 같은데... somehow I'm neither here nor there 나는 지금 이곳도 저곳도 아닌 곳에 서있으니.. Can you help me remember how to smile 어떻게 미소지었는지 기억할수 있게 나를 도와줄수 있나요??? make it somehow all seem worthwhile 모든것이 가치있게 보일수 있게 도와줄수 있나요??? ... how on earth did I get so jaded 나는 어쩌면 그렇게 지쳐버릴 수 있었을까요? life's mystery seem so faded 인생의 수수께끼가 빛을 바랜듯 하네요... I can go where no one else can go 난 어떤이도 갈수 없는 곳을 갈 수 있어요.. I know what no one else knows 난 어떤이도 모르는 것을 알고 있어요... here I am just drownin' in the train 바로 이자리에서 빗물에 잠겨갑니다. with a ticket for a runaway train 탈주 기차의 티켓을 손에 쥔채.. everything seems cut and dry 모든것이 명확히 구분되는 것처럼 보이지요.. day and night earth and sky 밤과 낮. 하늘과 땅처럼..말이죠.. somehow I just don't believe it 어쨋건 나는 그런것들을 믿지 않아요... ** Bought a ticket for a runaway train 탈주 기차의 티켓을 한장 샀었지요.. like a madman laughin' at the rain 퍼붓는 비 속에서 웃고 있는 미치광이처럼 말이죠.. a little out of touch little insane 조금은 제정신이 아닌듯..조금은 미쳐버린 듯이.. it's just easier than feelin' with the pain 그것이 고통을 느끼며 사는 것보다는 쉬운 방법이겠지요.. ** Runaway train never coming back 다시는 돌아올수 없는 탈주 기차.. Runaway train tearin'up the track 궤도를 부수며 달려가는 탈주 기차.. Runaway train burnin' in my veins 내 혈관 속에서 불타버리는 탈주 기차.. Runaway train always seems to stay. 아무리 도망가려 해도 ..언제나 머물러야만 하는가. |

'Cause I laugh or tell a joke or two Though I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue So take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears I need you If you see me with another guy Looking like I'm having fun May be cute, she's just a substitute 'Cause you're the permanent one So take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears Outside I'm masquerading Inside my hope is fading I'm just a clown since you put me down My smile is my makeup I'm absent since my break-up with you Baby, take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears |

I was tapping my foot on a Friday night
To my favorite band I was pushed aside I said "hey don't push me no one pushes me" When I was face to face with the woman I admired And she gave me this look I could not believe And the cold stare remained; I wanted to leave See, I do believe anger is offset by sorrow But you destroy today you might regret tomorrow When you're young and defensive it comes off offensive And it's hard to repay the tolerance that you borrowed The lasting relationship sinks right off the pier Who wears the pants; it's faded but clear She's your girlfriend, seems she ain't too fond of me I guess if that's the way it was meant to be There we were, just we three You, your girlfriend, and me I've known you forever, you two just met So easily amused; how fast we forget In my jealously, my self-righteous greed She's a bit like a book I'm too far sighted to read And I wish you the best, I sometimes feel the need To say remember me She's your girlfriend, as far as we can see Does she look at you the way she looks at me And here we are, just we three You, your girlfriend, and me She's your girlfriend, it's getting harder to see Better just take her home, better just let her be When she walks out that door, you'll come looking for me |

I fell in love with a hooker, she laughed in my face
So seriously I took her, I was a disgrace I was out of line, I was out of place Out of time to save face See the open mouth of my suitcase Sayin' leave this place Leave without a trace, leave without a trace Leave without a trace I tried to get a good job With honest pay I might as well join the mob The benefits are okay Standing in the sun with a popsicle Everything is possible With a lot of luck and a pretty face And some time to waste Leave without a trace, leave without a trace Leave without a trace I tried to dance at a funeral, New Orleans style I joined the Grave Dancer's Union, I had to file Trying to do the right thing, play it straight The right thing changes from state to state Don't forget to take your mace If you're out walking late I liked to see your face You left without a trace Leave without a trace |

Is there somebody that you want to talk to? You know that pretty soon you’ll be able to fly How is this going to affect you? Do you think it might wreck you? Your friends might reject you Say you took it too far You said you want to be want to be want to be want to be Hooked on glossy pictures and drugs I’ve never seen We’ll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine One day she just walked into that magazine I wonder if she’ll ever come back And they all said she would crack They said her mind was one track, Said she took it too far You said you want to be want to be want to be want to be Closer to the stars ... Every time you move your lips Let me give you a few tips Yesterday you were too young Tomorrow you will be too old To regret all the things you’ve done who’re you trying to hustle ? Somebody you wanna show your muscle? Second hand excuses never went too far What’s this scene you’re making? Your ideas have been taken We’ll seek when you awaken alone in someone’s car You just stood there shaking, stood there shaking They said you were faking You said you want to be want to be want to be want to be Closer to the stars...

Dying on a bed of roses in the middle of the night
Woke up in a cold, dark basement looking through candlelights Up all night, silly kid come crashing down (just one more taker) Like a ghost of a thousand miles crawling over me Here's to falling off the world's dark side Drifted it alone on a morning's tide Riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate When the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day When the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still Could you see it in your heart to let me in? Did he hand you the reigns of the morning news? He lulled you asleep 'til the Aussie cat mews When the leaves from the trees come crashing down (don't time pass slowly) When the seasons don't change, they're spinning around Here's to falling off the world's dark side Drifted it alone on a morning's tide Riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate When the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day When the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still Could you see it in your heart to let me in?

'Cause you say there's no one there for you to talk to Isn't it nice to go outside When you know there is no place you have to walk to You can live alone inside a crowded room And it's never, never too late, never too soon Put on your frown to go downtown You have come a long long way Even though you have no idea where you're going You ain't done a godamn thing all afternoon Your confidence is sinking like a lead balloon And it's never, never too late, never too soon I can't come down I can't come down I can't come down I can't come down I can't go on I can't go on It's not like I'm asking you to hold up the sky All the things you held so high Are you surprised to find that now they add to nothing Now you're growing old and bored Do you think that maybe you could teach me something There is nothing that you really can assume And it's never, never too late, never too soon Now you're mad I know you're mad Now you're mad I know you're mad Why don't you just tell someone It's not like you're the only one It's not like I'm asking you to hold up the sky I can teach you how to drive You can teach me how to lie Hush my darling don't you cry This could be your lullaby |

Sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night
Movie cameras rolling in And there goes my hero with his head between his legs And all this time I believed in him Now, what is the sound of snow falling down On the tombstone in the dead of the night? And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound Who speaks English when the watchman's not in sight? And where will you be in 1993? Still sitting in the same chair Sinning is for sinners and I'm just a beginner But I've never really been touched there Hey ain't it strange how some things never change Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same? You were thinkin' I was distressed about some universe oppressed But I was just depressed about my last pinball game I've learned to accept and not to expect The respect and neglect that I get I've tried not to forget about what hasn't happened yet And on this I place my last bet Hey did you give what you get Did you get what you give? of your ?? Winning is for winners And I know spring follows winter But I've never really been touched there You know it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice And you can't find peace anywhere Love's just not for lovers Get off your high horse brother Drop your fist and get out of here |

In a town without a name
there is no shame no blame to claim one fine day the pilgrims came and made new rules for an old game And I'm waiting for the garbage man To take you away And I'm searching for my playground So I can go and play So they built a big smoke stack Built a railroad track They made the dirt roads black And they did it behind your back And now you pay their tax hoping something cracks And I'm waiting for the garbage man To take you away And I'm searching for my playground So I can go and play From out of the dust came corrosion and rust That made you look so cheap There's nothing to have here And nothing to hold here And nothing that you can keep Now understand this is no man's land And its all that's left that's free Where the kings of nothing rule my friend And you can't make me leave There's a billboard in the sky Reflecting water in your eyes This big city, this ghost town Will come crawling to the ground And I'm waiting for the hurricane To blow you away And I'm searching for my twister to twist you into shape Now my speach is said and done The circus came, I had my fun And the wasteland has been won And the building has begun And I'm waiting for the earthquake To shake you down And I see my mother nature Trying to drag you around From out of the dust came Corrosion and rust That made you look so cheap There's nothing to have here And nothing to hold here And nothing that you can keep Now understand this is no man's land And its all that's left that's free Where the kings of nothing rule my friend (Then you can't make believe?) |

Shipwreck sailors searching for some fools gold
They're the local drunken boys Been out drinking all night feeling alright We watch them kill each other in a fight Ship of fools, drunken hearts Making yet another new start Ain't it hard to play that part When you've got a drunken heart I can't change the world by complaining You can't change it with a kiss (Be no?) concentrating contemplating No time to find out what we miss Ship of fools ... |

I said "Hey brown girl I seen tears through the window of the junk shop downtown"
Selling trinkets from your far off homeland, did the Promise land let you down? I said "hey young boy I notice that you ain't afraid to walk next to me" "Old man, you look like you're dying, is that all you want is a quarter from me?" Sometimes I feel like a stranger, I feel like a stranger I'm just another face in a faceless crowd, I'm just another king in a headless crown I'm so alone. Y'know I live here in this city, but this place it just ain't nobody's home Now how many times do I got to tell you? There's no such thing as a man made world Now how many times do I got to tell you? There's no such thing as a man-tamed girl Sometimes I feel like stranger, I feel like a stranger I want to buy some flowers for my mother, if I only had a chance You see, I got a happy family, but that's oh so far away You see, I've got it all here inside me, but I just can't seem to get it out But I know with a little imagination we can work this whole goddamn thing out Oh don't make me feel so strange, I feel like a stranger |

What are you doing here in my nightmare? (In my nightmare)
Stepping back into the stupidness gets me nowhere (Gets me nowhere) Look at you now - You look like an angel in hell Look at you now - Drown in your wishing well Look at you now - All those strories and there's no one to tell Look at you now Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my nightmares? And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down Wake me up and let me go (from) somebody I used to know From somewhere in my nightmare. Don't you remember the years we got nowhere? (We got nowhere) Look at you now - You look like an angel in hell Look at you now - Drown in your wishing well Look at you now - All those strories and there's no one to tell Look at you now Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my nightmares? And you're playing with a different joker, but there's always one more sucker And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down Trapped at the top of the merry-go-round But it won't let you down. Look at you now - You look like an angel in hell Look at you now - Drown in your wishing well Look at you now - All those strories and there's no one to tell Look at you now Do you think you can find a place for my dreams? |

Black lights and a disco ball
Cut the carpets going wall to wall Maybe someday won't be just one way Had a dream I was laying in hell Looked a lot like this hotel Maybe one day, won't be just one way But it's one big maybe And maybe I'm the one who's crazy How can I find out, How can I wonder, Trying to be like you. And all is well in hell, I wish you were here, I wishing you well. You know who asked about you As far as I can tell all in all, all is well. A bomb shelter and some cans of food A gas mask looks good on you Come and see me Ya wouldn't wanna be me I think I injured my funny bone I'm gonna cry when I get home Maybe one day, save it for someday. But it's one big maybe And maybe I'm the one who's crazy How can I find out, How can I wonder, Trying to be like you. And all is well in hell I wish you were here, I wishing you well. You know who asked about you As far as I can tell All in all, all is well. All is well...... All is well, here in hell I wish you were here, I wishing you well. All is well, here in hell! I wish you were here, All in all, all is well. All in all, all is well. All in all, all is well! |

Calling you from inside the wire
I'm payin' my dues underneath your tires Standing out in the middle of traffic Photographing the crash Waitin' in line with little old ladies With a bug up my ass I wanna live in your car I'm never going too far Calling you from inside the wire I'm payin' my dues underneath your tires I got a hostage situation Someone's crackin' the whip Some are puttin' up a fierce resistance Some are getting their kicks Out of the blue and into the fire I've got no use for being tired Calling you from inside the wire I'm payin' my dues underneath your tires A bus named desire Now I'm all alone here wainting like I'm buried alive Gotta crawl my way out maybe if I plan to survive Born in a zoo, raised in a cage What's it to you if I break through anyway? Calling you from inside the wire I'm payin' my dues underneath your tires Calling you from inside the wire I'm payin' my dues underneath your tires A bus named desire A bus named desire A bus named desire A bus named desire A bus named desire |

Now that you're old enough
And all grown now, tryin' to act so tough Here comes a slap right in the face Branding irons and cattle prods Cowboys everywhere, ropes flyin through the air Leaves some kind of funny aftertaste And when the room gets small And the streets are filled with fighting You'll find a way to escape You'll find a better place Cause it's a crazy mixed up world out there Someones always got a gun and it's all about money You live with loneliness or you live with somebody Who's crazy - It's just a crazy mixed up world Jet fighters streak the air And where they're going nobody seems to care I guess we'll just wait and watch 'em fade I don't think much about The things I thought I just couldn't live without I live without them everyday And when you just can't handle One more panhandler It leaves you wishing for change A fast car to take you away It's a crazy mixed up world out there Someones always got a gun and it's all about money You live with loneliness or you live with somebody Who's crazy - It's just a crazy mixed up world So take your shattered faith And make it just like new with crazy glue and tape You're gonna need it again someday You're gonna need it again You're gonna need it today Cause it's a crazy mixed up world out there Someones always got a gun and it's all about money You live with loneliness or you live with somebody Who's crazy - It's just a crazy mixed up world |

In the fog lights
There was tear gas floating through the twilight And he wondered what life would be like With a giant screen TV A fridge full of a beer and a conscience that's clean You see, lately She'd been thinking 'bout her little tiny baby And the boy who had gone to defend me She's a good friend of mine But I can't take the place of her man anytime And it won't be long 'Til he's coming home You gotta bring your soldier home All those stones have all been thrown You gotta give a kid a chance to get a look at his kid And hope he can live with whatever he did Now, meanwhile He was reading magazines on the front line He was trying not to think about her life And what he might have done 'Cause it seemed like none of them were having any fun You see lately She'd been acting kinda crazy Lately Oh man, I thought she was gonna hate me 'Cause I couldn't watch the little one I had so much to do I was so high-strung And it won't be long 'Til Daddy's home You gotta bring your soldier home All those stones have all been thrown You gotta give a kid a chance to get a look at his kid And hope he can live with whatever he did Lately All the hate escapes me Lately All the hate just escapes me Lately So he phoned her He said "Darling I'm feeling so alone here Am I making myself perfectly clear? That I'm on my way back Just a couple more missions and I'll start getting packed" You gotta bring your soldier home All those stones have all been thrown You gotta give a kid a chance to get a look at his kid And hope he can live with whatever he did Lately I was wondering if she'd heard from him lately Lately I was wondering if she'd heard from him lately |

Down from the mountain
Running wild through the trees A crystal glimour, rolling along so effortlessly. Trickled down from the country But the city sucked it in and spit it out Now the gravity pulls you to the curb side now and it's getting light... And it's too soon, too fast.. And now they're never gonna last... Standing water, standing to close to the sun with your rainbow run-off, you're like a sitting duck waiting for the summer rain to come. I was at low-life in the hotlands, I was barely living up to the standard undemands, I had run out of reasons to let myself believe in anything, I wanted to phone home so many times but I'm never giving in, you know dreams never die. |

Blood on the sidewalk
Washing down the drain Rushing around the crime scene To hide behind the stain Hide behind the pain Blue-colored lady Black eye behind the shades It's funny how the players They can't survive the game I'll survive the game Rule maker, dream taker Numbers on a sheet The execution, the grand delusion Success is not so sweet Damaged for the first time Who knew it'd be you? You could try to save me And I'll try to save you Try to save you Dealmaker, heartbreaker Numbers on a sheet The wild confusion, the strange delusion Success is not so sweet Success is not so sweet You want a baby, I know you do I'll be your baby And I'll take care of you I'll take care of you Widow maker, deal-breaker The blood runs down the street The execution, conclusion Success is not so sweet Dream faker, pocket shaker The numbers on a sheet The execution, the institution Success is not so sweet Success is not so sweet Success is not so sweet |
