Been lying here for hours
Can't get my eyes to close Can't get one moments peace To save my doggone soul I've been doing more than drinking' Trying' to ease my pain But everywhere I go, somebody speaks your name All my friends keep on asking' Boy what's wrong with you I say I'm worried, worried down with the blues Tried to be a good man Worked my fingers to the bone And you returned the favor By wreckin' up my happy home You played so many dirty tricks 'Til I lost my faith in you Now you want me to take you back What's a poor man supposed to do Worried down with the blues Oh, yes I am Worried down with the blues Feel like I was born to lose I used to walk with pride With my head held high Now I'm staring down at my shoes Yes, I'm worried, worried down with the blues You made me turn my back On my very best friends And when my back was turned You were messin' around with them Still I'd give up everything To have you back by my side 'Cuz in the cold, cold night When I reach for you All I'm holdin' is my foolish pride Worried down with the blues Oh, yes I am Worried down with the blues Feel like I was born to lose I used to walk with pride With my head held high Now I'm staring down at my shoes Yes I'm worried, worried down with the blues |

Black and white, it's all the same
Good and evil - pieces in a medieval game Black shoot black, white take all Color will be our downfall Blood runs red And it's all the same So tell me what you see When you look at me Close your eyes, you'll see A world of difference World of difference I hate you 'cause you hated my fathers You hate him - his fathers raped your daughters Hate breeds fear, fear breeds sin Survival is your only friend When we die We're all the same So tell me what you see When you look at me Close your eyes, you'll see A world of difference World of difference There's a clock on the wall And it's angry and bleeding A world in pain Lashes out like children What can we do? We're too young to know Brother, get down on your knees Too late to cry - too late to beg me please So, tell me what you see When you look at me Close your eyes, you'll see A world of difference World of difference |

My spirit sleeps like a sunset trapped behind the clouds
Dying to awake Bright lights shine somewhere over the mountain Much too far away I don't know myself today I can feel me slip away World of confusion Getting darker everyday Morning comes - still I don't feel welcome even in my own skin Feeling kinda numb like the earth after the storm I'm learning to breathe again Bleeding softly on your floor I can't take it anymore World of confusion Getting darker everyday Reality escapes me as I try to do the same Once you saved me for a while till I fell again Did you see your God rising in the smoke? Did he tell you that it was your time? Silence falls uncovered like the truth Naked bathed in God's own light World of confusion Getting darker everyday |

Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels to come
Where she used to feel the weight of a thousand lifetimes Now she just feels numb But there was a time when her beauty raised the eyebrows of the town Any man would gladly give up all he had just to take Desiree down She stares out the window at the world passing by She is caught beneath the wheel Too heavy to lift - she feels too weak to try People stare like strangers where once she might've asked them in To fill the void where her heart once was Now she just fills her glass again And again And she walks the floor less traveled Thinks of a sad melody Wine and blood don't mix like they used to Now they just make a memory Too many years trying to do the right thing for the wrong man Now the picture is clear She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past 'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears All these half-truths and alibis help build a wall of denial She takes comfort in the night - darkness blocks the light From falling on her aging smile Grey befalls her halo where there once was a golden mane And her eyes don't shine like they used to Without the moon, the sun would be in vain So she walks the floor less traveled Thinks of a sad melody Wine and blood dont mix like they used to Now they just make a memory Too many years trying to the right thing for the wrong man Now the picture is clear She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past 'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears She puts on h er make-up - though no one's seen her for days Her silence is a lonely cry She's trapped inside a maze Her tears have turned to honey, drawing the black flies of depression Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels again |

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerers of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh Lord yeah! Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight They leave their role to the poor Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait 'till their judgment day comes Now in darkness world stops turning Ashes where their bodies burning No more war pigs have the power Hand of God has struck the hour Day of judgment God is calling On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan laughing spreads his wings Oh Lord yeah! |

In a lonely dream a boy goes walking
Drowned in shame, drunken with emotion He says his world is just an ocean says his poor heart too many times been broken The bones in your closet Once bore the skin of your fathers Guess that means it's out of your hands Or you're too tired, too tired to bother Help me now, save the wandering child Now that you're broken, who'll clean up this mess Now that your vision is blinded, I guess You say "where do I fall, now that my strength is gone and who do I tell, "I've done nothing wrong" Float upon the river till the water runs still Dive to the bottom-got to drink from the well Till I find who I am, till I find out who I am Now that there's no one to show me Help me now, save the wandering child Help me now, save the wandering child In a lonely dream a boy keeps walking Drowned in shame, drunken with emotion He says his kill-it is his crown Says his angels are no longer looking down A horse and a monkey, no kids and no wife A hell of a way for a hero to spend his life Time to unearth the worm Let this bridge fall down and burn Help me now, save the wandering child Help me now, save the wandering child Help me now, save the wandering child Help me now, save the wandering child |

Where is your freedom
Is it buried in the Earth? Tell me, is it growing? Or is it losing its worth? And where were all your people when they burned your building down? Too busy fighting their own war in their own town Unring the bell, it's time, it's time Take back what we had, it's yours and mine Shadows of evil cast like giants on the wall Do you even know how many people you appall? And where are all those people on whose backs you climbed? Too busy saving their own skin and their own kind Unring the bell, it's time, it's time Take back what we had, it's yours and mine New Jim Crow, different shades of brown Blood spills red on ancient hallowed ground Flying machines send missiles to the moon While Babylon is burning in the pale afternoon Unring the bell, it's time, it's time Take back what we had, it's yours and mine Fake liberty is just another form of hate Unring the bell before it's too late |

Yeah, somebody somewhere must have hurt you
You must have been really abused A victim of your raising Isn't that your excuse, towering fool? In a dream I watched you inflict yourself On everyone within reach Now frozen in time I see it still Like a movie How long has it been since you shook the hand Of those who fell under your feet And how long has it been since you washed yours clean From the blood and the dirt of the street Did you really think you could just fly away Fly right out of those blues Did you, towering fool? Don't you know greatness comes to those who can hold it Did it slip right through your hands Did it brush your sleeve as it passed you by Do you compare yourself now to then All this pent up anger Don't you feel alone, ranger? Don't you, towering fool? So you use every ounce of your energy To keep those around you down But there is a tear in the eye of the ring master And a smile on the face of the clown Yeah, you couldn't see through your own arrogance To what the whole world already knew You had to keep pushing it past the point Till it all crumbled down on you Didn't you, towering fool? |

I believe they're crying still The world as we know it keeps right on turning I guess it always will Still, something's changed - I hate to admit it I ain't been the same since you came around My mind is swollen from the weariness Wish you'd never flagged me down Twisted angel, cast out of some strange heaven Sent down here to pull me out of my shell You show up on my doorstep - honey dripping from your mouth Like some slackjaw Jezebel Flesh and bones is all I'm made of I couldn't have stopped you if I tried The spell you wer casting - way too heavy Now I can't be satisfied But you think you're going to save me - you better think again I've had saviors galore And although you are a vision - an angel wrapped in sin I've seen it all before Twisted angel, cast out of some strange heaven Sent down here, landed on my window sill Now you're walking through my back door - honey dripping from your mouth Like some slackjaw Jezebel You've got your bag of dust and your divining rod I wonder how I got myself here Wheel's spinning faster and I know I have to jump off Guess I'm weighing the fire against the fear You spoon-fed my ego, made me feel so young Kissed me 'til my lips were sore But I know you're just a Jezebel with a poisonous tongue I've been down this road before I'ts full of twisted angels, cast out of some strange heaven Sent down here to put me through Hell You show up on my doorstep - honey dripping from your mouth Like some slackjaw Jezebel Oh like some slackjaw Jezebel |

Ain't seen a night, things work out right, go by.
Things on my mind, and I just don't have the time, and it don't seem right. Ain't seen a day, that I don't hear people say, they know they're gonna' die. This may seem a little bit crazy, but I don't think you should be so lazy. If you think you've heard this before, well, stick around I'm gonna' tell you more. One just like the other, sin's a good man's brother, but is that right? You tell me that I don't, then I say I won't, but then I might. You said this is the way it's supposed to be, but it just don't seem right to me, and that's outta' sight. Some folks need an education, don't give up, or we'll loose the nation. You say we need a revolution? It seems to be the only solution. |

Hey, what's the use - daily excuse
And what's it all mean to me Pride pushed aside - thanks for the ride More is in store, you'll see Hey, we're all trapped in a silent scream Life's worth the price - don't you think twice Just 'cause it's unjust to you Why not rejoice - what's the other choice When death, like your dreams, will come soon Hey, we're all trapped in a silent scream Hey, we're all trapped in a silent scream Search for the truth - no one has proof But faith is all you need to believe Hey, we're all trapped in a silent scream Hey, we're all trapped in a silent scream Hey, we're all trapped in a silent scream Hey, we're all trapped in a silent scream |

She said "I know what it's like to be dead.
I know what it is to be sad" And she's making me feel like I've never been born. I said "Who put all those things in your head? Things that make me feel that I'm mad And you're making me feel like I've never been born." She said "you don't understand what I said" I said "No, no, no, you're wrong" When I was a boy everything was right Everything was right I said "Even though you know what you know I know that I'm ready to leave 'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born." She said "you don't understand what I said" I said "No, no, no, you're wrong" When I was a boy everything was right Everything was right I said "Even though you know what you know I know that I'm ready to leave 'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born."

Billy dresses like Billie with an "ie"
Sometimes in the evening But nobody seems to care Nobody thought he was sane anyway He stands by the door on Second Ave. Watching people as they pass by But have you ever seen the gleam-It's a gleam There's a gleam in Billy's eye But nobody knows if he'll try to save the world Or if he'll try to shoot the President And nobody knows if he just needs a girl, Or if he wants to be a girl, Or if he just needs to feel like a man It's the same price - anyway Same price - you have to pay People put you down That's where you're gonna' stay It's the same price Rudy Tootie got caught up in a scheme Just before it backfired Three years later, now he's back on the street Word's out - he's up for hire Rudy always liked the smell of a dollar bill Especially if it's burning Always had a thing for low I.Q.'s in high heels Can't you feel the tables turning In walks Billie - she's maintenance free She'll be whatever he wants her to be It's the same price - anyway Same price - you have to pay People put you down That's where you're gonna' stay It's the same price Now Rudy's 0 for 2 - just another I.O.U. She's watching as they take him away He'll be better off behind those walls anyway It's the same price - anyway Same price - you have to pay People put you down That's where you're gonna' stay It's the same price - Same price People put you down that's where you're gonna' stay It's the same price Billy dresses like Billie with an "ie" Sometimes in the evening But nobody seems to care Nobody thought he was sane anyway |

Raven black night
Let me walk with you upon the wind Dream-escape to another world where we belong Sleep-awake make up your mind Help me find a stranger, a stranger with the answer Who'll enlighten me and just disappear Into the raven black night Raven black night Stars no longer even try to shine Penetrate the darkness for a moment But what's the use Death dance make up your mind Do I fear the spirits And hide from the angels Do I try to find the light Or do I just follow you Into the raven black night Raven black night Let me walk with you upon the wind Dream-escape to another world where we belong we belong we belong |

Serene - what a dream
A pillow to rest your weary bones Recharge - redefine Time to repaint the lines Change your world - it's time Life's around the corner, death's grip is far behind Life can be sweet, wounds can start to heal Stay and be destroyed - move and be renewed Grow or wither - it's all up to you None of us has built a perfect shelter Don't christen me with your condescending laughter Don't, don't, don't put me in a box Don't forget I once knew a few things about you too I think you'll se, life can be quite the paradox Stay and be destroyed - move and be renewed Grow or wither - it's all up to you None of us has built a perfect shelter None of us has built a perfect shelter Stay and be destroyed - move and be renewed Grow or wither - it's all up to you None of us has built a perfect shelter None of us has built a perfect shelter None of us has built a perfect shelter None of us has built a perfect shelter |

I never knew you
But then who really did? If you were at all like me You managed to keep yourself hid A patchwork quilt of a life Memories embroidered On your soul So please forgive me For putting you in my song But the spirit she moves me In fact she pushes me along It's a patchwork quilt of a life Can't stop the river Just let it roll We were at Jones Beach When we got the word Saddest sound that I ever heard The bluest note that nobody could play Ravens sang with us that night on the stage Tears of sadness, tears of rage But nobody spoke, we all felt old And in the way So walk beside me Or above me, I don't know These days it sure seems I'm lost where ever I go God, how could you, I heard someone say And what do we do with our lives now anyway? Now that our North Star can no longer be found But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky Hippies dance and babies cry Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel look down And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars Bright lights, dark Star I never knew you But then who really did If you were at all like me You managed to keep yourself hid |

In the painted silver light
I watched you gently move Now, in the cold early dawn I long to have that vision in my head again Conjure, as I may, my guilt won't let me sleep Now I know what it means To have and to hold To let go and to lose [Chorus:] In the screaming silence I try to lose myself But there is no hiding place No hiding place Here they come again Those voices, they'll be with me till the end Maybe it helps the pain How would I know? I never slow down long enough But, ain't life funny I don't know if I will ever see you again But, in the painted silver light I watched you And I'll keep on watching you [Chorus x2] Seven days I watched the sun come rising No sleep for the wicked Seven nights I lie awake While my mind drifted across valley and streams Shadows everywhere Still I search for some kind of sign But, in the painted silver light I'll come running Running [Chorus x2] |

We all tried to warn you-but you already knew
So you blame it on jealousy-you say the rumors are untrue But you feel yourself slipping away You awoke from a dream-things were different than now You were gonna be a superstar-Elvis was teaching you how You met a man in a suit-he said "Sign on the line But you'll need a little something to help you unwind" You got to ride like Hell-your face into the wind One day you're everything-then you're nothing again We all know that the journey means more than where you wind up But they don't know what it's like to drink from your cup Still they got something to say You met a girl on the highway-she made you feel like a man But somewhere along the way-your poor heart just caved in So you smoke a little that and you drink a little this And soon you can't separate the misery from the bliss (CHORUS) Anyone can be blinded-caught up in the lust But we all must go back-back to our own dust Back to yesterday One cold night in the sixties-in a small town serene A young boy sits and stares at a black and white screen He's caught up in the rhythm,the words,and the sound And it feels just like a ticket out of this town (CHORUS x2) |

Woman, suspended in time
Heal yourself, no need to stay blind Spiral dreams, too much to bear Spiralling, who knows where Let me take you down No need to suffer any more Wrap yourself in the warmth of my arms We'll lie awake till sleep overtakes us Can't you see There's no need to suffer any more Defenceless, trapped in a cage Blissfulness, devoured by the rage Fates' been cruel, though the years been kind You've got to heal yourself, no need to stay blind Let me take you down No need to suffer any more Wrap yourself in the warmth of my arms We'll laugh out loud, while the earth dies screaming Can't you see There's no need to suffer any more And we'll fly away Look down at the earth below Fly away, we'll never look back Never look back Woman suspended in time Heal yourself, no need to stay blind |

In the whiskey hours
I sit mourning But the morning brings no consolation Sun is rising - sky is yawning But the new day brings no celebration No celebration Reminds me life is hard Here in my back yard And I lie awake And I stare at the sky And my life passes by And I lie here suffering, wondering How long, how long In a sea of silence I lay wondering But with it comes no real solution Dreams die young In this world of violence Just to be betrayed by revolution-revolution Still my life is hard here in my back yard And I lie awake And I stare at the sky And my life passes by And I lie here suffering, wondering How long, how long We are only the beginning here None of us will reach the end So hold me close like an angel With your breath draw me in Feel me swim through your bloodstream Hear my voice - soft but clear After today things will never be the same I'm sorry for you, my dear In a world of darkness We are surrounded - surrounded by eternity We reach out but no love abounds us Guess we traded it for sanity Meanwhile life is hard here in my back yard And I lie awake And I stare at the sky And my life passes by And I lie here suffering, wondering How long, how long In the whiskkey hours I sit mourning But the morning brings no consolation Sun is rising - sky is yawning But the new day brings no celebration |

Though it often turns to this Unintended suicide As if our fate's sealed with a kiss We're all taught to rise above Can't let ourselves be hurt by love So tell me what I have to lose I am ready to feel these new world blues Dreams are only of a new world Instead of making this one right But "run away" is not the answer Still we all want to take flight Never knowing what we seek We think our pain is so unique So tell me what I have to lose I am ready to feel these new world blues Heroes are not to cry So hold your head up high The future is ours to see So come on and rescue me So tell me what I have to lose I am ready to feel these new world blues So tell me what I have to lose I am ready to feel these new world blues Life is not a compromise |

Smart enough to say good-bye to this lonely town But not smart enough to never look back Night falls early on these lonely streets-and time rolls by like a midnight train Innocence in abundance on these lonely streets-but I feel guilty just the same Now the words that I have written are ringing in my head Oh,and I think I believe them A million miles from yesterday and a million more to go Still I search each day Trying to find my way home Dreams die young in a lonely heart-and the past seems to follow close behind There's an age old remedy for a lonely heart But there's no peace in this soul of mine Now the words that I have written are ringing in my head Oh,and I think I believe them A million miles from yesterday and a million more to go Still I search each day Trying to find my way home Still trying to find my way home |

So you thought you could handle it - yeah didn't they all
So look at the shape that you're in But fools never compromise - they go out in flames So out with the old, in with the new What in the world has happened to you What goes on in that little toy brain Who'll sweep out the wreckage, who'll sing the refrain And after the smoke clears - is there anything left Did you wash it all away So you cried like a baby asking for more - still you don't know where you've been Ain't it high time you woke up, took a good look around You're killing yourself - damaging your soul - all in the name of sweet rock and roll What goes on in that little toy brain Who'll sweep out the wreckage, who'll sing the refrain And after the smoke clears - is there anything left Did you wash it all away "Hold me, I'm lonely," you say to yourself The only one who will listen now So what does it mean when you finally explain you were never good at apologies I've got some pride left, but it's plain to see It's been earmarked for emergency So what ever happened to your blind faith - did it crumble away Like me, like me What goes on in that little toy brain Who'll sweep out the wreckage, who'll sing the refrain And after the smoke clears - is there anything left Did you wash it all away Did you wash it all away Did you wash it all away Tell me what goes on in that little toy brain |

We've applauded mediocrity till there is no lower we can go Art has no place in this world of supersize Follow the leader to the latest pile of shit Like flies And those who peddle it sold their own souls long ago They would not know the difference between Vin Diesel and Van Gogh They stare at me with envy with their big green bugging eyes Spreading filth, buzzing all around my head Like flies Like flies Feast or famine, peace or war - life will get you in the end Sex, drugs, powerlines and vaccinations - something's going to do you in There ain't no way of stopping death when it's time for your demise All my heroes and friends are dropping Like flies Like flies |

Freedom train is coming - all around the
world talking 'bout freedom - yeah bring it on drop what you're doing and climb on board all it costs you is a song life on the outside life on the outside don't worry 'bout the weather - it's all in your head we're all here for such a short time we got to learn to live together or we might as well be dead loosen up, baby and have a good time (chorus) leave behind your baggage - check your head, check your head life on the outside freedom train is leaving - be on it, be on it life on the outside "inside" is so boring - the old man is snoring but the young man is dying to live you won't want to go back - once you're rollin' down the track can't get caught up in what they want you to be be who you are - that is the message beautiful world in dissonant harmony be who you are - that is the message leave behind your baggage - check your head, check your head freedom train is leaving - be on it, be on it life on the outside (chorus) |

All I see are faces, a sea of faces
Surrounded by the memory of life before insanity Hard to explain the hunger, if you don't feel it What I really need is your breath raining on my skin And I'm so tired, tired of feeling sorry for myself And I want more All I feel are clouds, surrounded by clouds Yesterday's anger is the sadness of today Our lives were filled with summer and laughter Now are smiles are grey Once I held you close, now my thoughts just drift like the wind Can you feel it, can you feel it Can you feel it, can you feel it Coming down And I'm so tired, tired of feeling sorry for myself And I want more, got me wanting more Night keep falling, and the wind keep calling my name All I see are faces, a sea of faces Surrounded by the memory of life before insanity Hard to explain the hunger, if you don't feel it What I really need is your breath raining on my skin |

I like my summer home
Love my yuppie job Got a cellular phone in my brand new saab I love my wife and my girlfriend too I just love myself You're gonna love me too Came out west to find myself Did the maharishi squat on the continental shelf Got a groovy set of morals And an Elvis Presley do I'll swap my wife for yours Anything for you Got to stay away from the left coast groovies Living their lives like a cheesy movie The wrap around shades and the air-head cuties Got a new-age stench because he traded his pachuli Can the wicked feed the hungry? Can the children teach the old? About a new way, a revolution We're moving backwards, out of control Out of control, out of control Came out west to find myself Did the maharishi squat on the continental shelf Got a groovy set of morals And an Elvis Presley do I'll swap my wife for yours Anything for you Got to stay away from the left coast groovies Living their lives like a cheesy movie The wrap around shades and the air-head cuties Got a new-age stench because he traded his pachuli [repeat] |

It's heavy-lay your burden down
It's heavy-lay your burden down Brother can't you see stars in the night Brother can't you see stars in the night There's a road up yonder far beyond the light Take a ride this morning on a slow train through the sky Take a ride this morning on a slow train through the sky My life is just a fast train, gone in the blink of an eye It's heavy-lay your burden down It's heavy-lay your burden down Felt the hand last Sunday when the stars refuse to shine Felt the hand last Sunday when the stars refuse to shine I'm just a young man, I don't feel like dying It's heavy-lay your burden down It's heavy-lay your burden down Can't you hear the angels screaming or is it all in my head Can't you hear the angels screaming or is it all in my head Looking out my window and the sky is blood red The sky is blood red You got to lay your burden down |

Go out logging that hardwood timber Hardwood timber that grows so low In the forest of Fennario Tell me what you need to live, love Do you ask that you might own Keep my blue-eyed hound to guard you I will make my way alone I will not return in winter If I be not back by fall Seek me when this small sunflower Stands above the garden wall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario Nine-month blew with sleeted rain And still he came not back again Summoned she the hound to go To seek him in Fennario He came back the fated day To find his lady gone away Made haste to follow in her track Where she could go but not turn back The blue-eyed hound at her side did bay While fast her breath did fade away She cried out: "Turn, my love, and go I would not you see me so" Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario I shall not turn, I shall not yield Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel That bleeds my lady's blood away Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay Angels sing their souls to sleep Four winds grace their breath to keep Up above yon garden wall Stands the sunflower, straight and tall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario |

I can't save you - but I can talk you down
I can hold you - but I won't watch you drown In my life - things have a way of growing downward And I don't know if I can watch myself be a coward Again I don't know you like I thought I did But I will show you things that I kept hid In my life - I've always been the one that had to ruin things So I don't know - is some dark angel pulling on my heart strings Again In my life - things have a kind of ragged beauty And I don't seem to know right from wrong Or so they say - unless it's happening to me People change - I don't know what for Strangers walking in and out my door Something's got to change - the past just hangs here to remind me That one of these mornings - I'll reach for you And find me I have told you - I won't watch you drown I can't save you - but I will be around |

Hello again - It's me, the fool on the hill
Life here ain't so bad My friends are tired - their lives are wasted Just like their moms and their dads And they don't know what I am talking about And they may never know I'm just fourteen - but I know where I stand Behind these walls - life ain't so easy But it's turned me into a man Sometimes I don't know what I am talking about And I may never know Far away - the cool taste of reality Far away - perfect little family Far away - the little boy I used to be Look at my eyes - maybe they'll show you the truth The truth I cannot see Once in a while I catch a glimpse of it all But it slips away from me Someday I'll know what's going on in my head For now, I'll just stay here Far away - the cool taste of reality Far away - perfect little family Far away - the little boy I used to be Far away I hate it when they look right through you It sends me into a rage I know I ain't crazy - and I don't need your proof I just need out of this cage Hello again - It's me, the fool on the hill Life here ain't so bad |

Bigelow the gigolo had no where else to go
His sad eyes had seen it all Scarred and lonely, tough as nails Open your heart when all else fails Wear the veil and the Trojan-horse smile Looking back on yesteryear Seems like maybe you missed your calling But hindsight is very clear when loneliness is falling And you have fallen down Down from the heavens Stuck out in the desert Amazing grace such a lonely place For heroes like you and me Fallen down, just like a shooting star With no fallen angel standing by To carry you away Target practice with other people’s lives Hit a few right between the eyes But most of the time You were wounded by the ricochet You say "play to win boys, never play to lose Long as your playing boys, you’re bullet-proof" But think about it, you’re bleeding to death anyway You have fallen down Down from the heavens Stuck out in the desert Amazing grace such a lonely place For heroes like you and me Fallen down, just like a shooting star With no fallen angel standing by Angel of mercy, take pity on a fool That spent a lifetime wondering What Napoleon would do If he were in your shoes Rich without pleasure, respected without love Drinking poison from a golden cup While anger, creeps like a knife into your heart Looking back on yesteryear Seems like maybe you missed your calling But hindsight is very clear when loneliness is falling And destiny’s through calling And you have fallen down, fallen down Amazing grace, it’s such a lonely place Oh yes it is Fallen down, fallen down Fallen down, fallen down Amazing grace such a lonely place Oh yes yes it is Fallen down, fallen down |

from Gov'T Mule 7집 - High & Mighty (2006)
A primadonna with a premonition feels like he's preachin' to the choir
A superstar filled with superstition can't pull himself out of the mire All you ever dreamed of is finally in your reach but careful what you wish for If you don't practice what you preach The circus came to town, I guess it must have stayed It's like an endless parade All these people you can see through like ghosts, maybe you've seen too much Nothing's real, nothing you can feel, no one you can touch Strangers stare in silence, they think they know your mind No place to jump off, that's the way the game's designed Another new day dawns, another sunset fades It's like an endless parade Music, music and more music imploding inside your brain The life that you have chosen did it finally drive you insane Psychophantic tirades fill your head with ammunition Sights set on your enemies but you keep losing your position Reluctantly you face the day try to get your gameface on What used to be a fantasy has now become a marathon Every heart you ever broke, all the people you've betrayed Another new day dawns Another sunset fades Yeh, the circus came to town, I guess it must have stayed It's like an endless parade |

Last night
I saw a fire burning on The palace lawn. O'er the land, The humble subjects watched in mixed Emotion. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Last night I saw the fire spreadin' to The palace door. Silent majority Weren't keepin' quiet Anymore. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Last night I saw the fire spreadin' to The countryside. In the mornin', Few were left to watch The ashes die. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Why? Why? Why? Effigy. |
