Far away from any road,
Froze my heart in solitude, Where your passerby can see, Our life's highway guard within, Knowing when our last does fail, Our compassion shall be met, Everything, let me be, Our life's highway guard within. We need vices (oh), We need vices (oh), Where's all my hope and my marriage license, (where's my head?) Those days are dead (forgive me) Those days are dead (forgive me) Those days are dead (forgive me) We need vices at fifty thousand degrees She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground And jumped I got creative (oh no), To try to kill the major, Where is my trigger? My mind eraser (we sing that so subtle...) And that forest burned (you see smoke...) That forest burned That forest burned (a halo...) We need ten years, everyone, so we can return She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground And jumped We need vices (oh), We need vices (oh), We've done nothing but brandish our disguises Those days are dead (forgive me) Those days are dead (forgive me) Those days are dead (forgive me) We need vices to wave to the good old days She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground And jumped |

My head is lead I don't want to ever go to bed
Your hair is on fire You snuff the blaze turn to vapor then you float away We got into a bad fight Laid her on the bed <i>[x6]</i> My eyes are lungs of the prophet and I speak in tongues I know how you'll die Your sister groans, an usurper to the holy throne To me she is just a dead spy Laid her on the bed <i>[x3]</i> Lie to all your friends <i>[x4]</i> I don't know what you feel like Ambushed on the root, stole your gold, you're a rose and you're laughing now Everything that you own starts to pile up Like bones make the walls of your prison Laid her on the bed <i>[x3]</i> I don't want to ever go to bed Stay out for the fight The champ goes down like a clown in the second round I wish we'd had a better goodbye Lie to all your friends <i>[x7]</i> |

Wait
I watched you throw out your bouquet Now i think about you everyday I'm alone now in my bed And there's a lake And at the bottom you'll find all my friends They don't swim cause they're all dead We never are what we intend, or invent 'Cause I make little lies and then I pull them apart Think something dark's living down in my heart And if I wanted to die before I got old I should've started some years ago digging that hole Well I carry this box to the proper place And when I lower it down I let it you fade away I hope that you would do this for me Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate If I thought it would help you get away I hope that you would do this for me A deer that a hunter shot in the heart Some dogs that got hit by cars All came to spill their guts And we spoke About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost And which psalms we had loved the most And then we all turned to dirt And dust Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold Some die looking for a hand to hold Well I carry this box to its proper place And when I lower it down I let you fade away I hope that you would do this for me Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate If I thought it would help you get away I hope that you would do this for me I'm slowly bringing you down from the Heavenly gates Now I'm drowning in the flood I made Well explain myself to me on the other side I'll watch from Heaven when I die Well I carry this box to the proper place And when I lower it down I let you fade away I hope that you would do this for me Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate If I thought it would help you get away I hope that you would do this for me |

So you tried to put a fire out
But you used gasoline And when the congregation gathered round You're screaming "it wasn't me" So there's a sickness that is going round But no one's got a vaccine I think it drowned in holy water I think it's time we all come clean I swear it's like dying To catch a ghost It feels like I'm trying To hold smoke I swear it's like dying To catch a ghost It feels like I'm trying To hold smoke When the army had to hold the line Well you were nowhere near the front Before the kids could tell the dog "goodbye", Well you were loading up your gun I wanna know I've left the great divide I wanna know what I've become You think that no one else is lonesome You think that you're the only one It feels like I'm jumping towards a train It feels like I'm jumping towards a train Well I'm trying to find a way It feels like I'm jumping towards a train It feels like I'm jumping towards a train Well I'm trying to find a way |

Last night they said the fire had spread
And we said our prayers And now the flames are burning me in my bed, But I just don't care We all go to sleep in the same place And in the morning hope that we're all the same Just sit around like broke down cars in the lot Waiting for repairs There you go There it goes... Well I wish that I was as good as you Caring and trusting And I wish that my condition was new but I'm old and rusting So we just hurry up only to wait Add to the list of all the places we hate And I pretend like I got something to say But I've got nothing Now I know that you stole Yeah you stole From the cradles they were rocked in You took the first words that they spoke Yeah you stole Yeah you stole So if I'm a liar and you're a thief At least we both know where the other one sleeps So let's end this tonight Now I know that you stole Yeah, you stole From the cradles they were rocked in You took the first words that they spoke Yeah you stole Yeah you stole So if I'm a liar and you're a thief At least we both know where the other one sleeps So let's end this tonight |

It's getting hard to stay up
I think I can hear God calling my name He'll try to make my heart break But I was told you'd call me tonight They're calling my name They won't slow the car down I'm scared that I will keep it for my own The one that is calling my name is telling "come down" They're calling my name... They're calling my name... Calling my name... |

I don't want to let you go But it hurts my hands to hold the rope I won't be such an easy mark You're no better then they say And all the candles on the cake All set fire to the gate Turn the cannons towards the boat Men were drowning in the moat It was the end of all rowers oars If you call then I'm coming to get you If you call then I'm coming, now If you call then I'm coming to get you You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you All I want's some earth and seed But only grow the things I need But first I must find my way back And you go lay down on the track At first I had an even keel But now I'm not sure what is real. It's taken me this long to learn That every dead is ate by worms And once they're gone they don't return If you call then I'm coming to get you If you call then I'm coming, now If you call then I'm coming to get you You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you I'm coming to get you If you call then I'm coming to get you If you call then I'm coming to get you You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you Then the fire snuck into your bedroom Now I'm falling asleep to forget you How darkly the dark hand met his end He was withered and boney, exposed for a phoney But we heed the last words that he penned Haste to disgrace the traitor. Do not wait til later I don't think that you've got to pretend I see God in birds and Satan in long words But I know what you need in a friend So now when I leave you, I hope I won't see you How darkly the dark hand met his end He was withered and boney, exposed for a phoney But we heed the last words that he penned Haste to disgrace the traitor. Do not wait til later If you call then I'm coming to get you If you call then I'm coming, now If you call then I'm coming to get you You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you Well, I'm coming to get you If you call then I'm coming, now If you call then I'm coming to get you You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you Then the fire snuck into your bedroom Now I'm falling asleep to forget you |

Trees will make a forest
Trees will make a bow These are all the harder Words you have to know If everyone's a structure Where their own savior sits Then I'm a little red house And no one's living in it Cars are little blood cells We are oxygen City is the airways Suburbs appendages She was feeling lonely So you let her hide Rented out a family We bought a bride Bought a bride Bought a bride Bought a bride Little cities names labeled along the map They tied her up and laid her on the train tracks Where are all the seedlings We grew from violence Down in Jersey lumber Stealing prosthetic limbs Should of been a soldier I could of fought and died There's no revolution So I bought a bride Bought a bride Bought a bride Bought a bride Coming down the alley while the horns play "Taps" They tied her up and laid her on the train tracks Somehow I always knew when everything was unsaid Go and buy a hammer never sing again |

<i>[Recording:]</i>
And we sing this morning that wonderful and grand old message. I don't know about you but I never get tired of it Number 99: Just As I Am. I'm a mountain that has been moved I'm a river that is all dried up I'm an ocean nothing floats on I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot I'm a moon that never shows it's face I'm a mouth that doesn't smile I'm a word that no one ever wants to say. <i>[Child Speaking:]</i> I don't wanna be, He wasn't finding anybody when he was on the shelf I saw him in my dream I'm a mountain that has been moved I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run I'm a preacher with no pulpit Spewing a sermon that goes on and on and on. Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast And we'll pray that they turn into seeds, to roots and then grass It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way. Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain Like he knew it was time to start things over again It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way. Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast And we'll pray that they turn into seeds, to roots and then grass It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain Like he knew it was time to start things over again It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way |

Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes, Stones in your eyes, Stones in your mouth, Stones in your ears, Stones in your mind, Stones in your eyes, Stones in your eyes, Living in a jar, think the lids the sky, You're hoping for a savior on your cross outside. Stars are just a million little fireflies, The sun is just the whole world and the light outside. Holding out for rest but on the seventh day, I've created nothing and I'm wide awake, So can I tie my key to your electric kite? The rooster crowed twice and you can't sleep at night. There's too many saviors on my cross again, I know I'm never going to be a perfect man. Everyone's an oyster with their grain of sand, I love you most and some, now it has to end. Stones in your eyes, Stones in your eyes, Stones in your eyes, Stones in your eyes, Stones in your eyes, Stones in your eyes, I'll run a million miles if you win first prize. |

Little light lead us through the night
And if we die burn down the forest chariots, carry us distance says we don't care to walk I'm on my way to hell I'm on my way to hell Why doesn't anyone I know sleep? Are they all just scared of their dreams? When they lay down there heads down at night, What are they haunted by? Why won't anyone just close their eyes? Could it hurt them to rest for a while? (Because) I'm on my way to hell (Well I've tried, god knows that I've tried) I'm on my way to hell (One time, two time, three time) Sitting duck Running out of luck And I caught up on the train crossing How are we ever gonna know peace How will I ever see a life through the tress I wanna burn down everything we begun I wanna kill it and eat my young (Because) I'm on my way to hell (Well I've tried, god knows that I've tried) I'm on my way to hell (One time, two time, three time, again) I'm on my way to hell (Well I've tried, god knows that I've tried) I'm on my way to hell (One time, two time, three time, again) I'm on my way to hell <i>[x4]</i> |
