- Bermuda Highway
Sometimes I walk around town looking at faces
wonderin why their bodies go to silly places.
Walkin past the carpet mills looking in and takin stills,
your ass it draws me in like a Bermuda highway.
Oh, don't carve me out! Don't let your silly dreams,
fall in between the crack of the bed and the wall.
Two times I fell asleep in a dirty basement
snoozing in cobwebs and the cement.
- Big Decisions
Sittin round wondering just what the hell
To do with your life.
Only get one chance- but you seem to always think twice.
And i'm getting so tired of trying to always be nice.
You're sweet and sincere but so ruled by fear.
What do you want me to do?
Make all the big decisions for you?
- Chills
Still feel that I'm getting ill.
Chills down on my spine,
I do on a window sill.
Still things that go away.
Still feel like no one can tell,
Chills run down my spine.
- Circuital
Spinning out, gracefully
Going nowhere, quickly
I am older, day by day
Still going back to my childhood way
Circuital
Round and round patiently
Getting lost by the guide

Birds singing in the sycamore tree

While I'm alone and blue as can be
- Evil Urges
Honey, it's rotten and they got us so scared
Thinking there's some evil waiting under van
Whoo, I made a nasty decision
To love whoever I want just a whenever I can
Things they're saying

It ain't evil, baby, if ya ain't hurting anybody

Down through the ages;
- Golden
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode
Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before
Watchin' a crowd roll in, out go the lights it begins
A feelin' in my bones I never felt before
People always told me that bars are dark and lonely
And talk is often cheap and filled with air

Now daddy's got you home alone- solving your crimes.
Peanut butter pudding surprise!
- Holdin On To Black Metal
It's a darkness you can't deny
But it don't belong in a grown up mind
Suppose you'll find this place in a youngster's eyes
Coming into life you needn't cry
But as a boy you gotta let it go
Or
You'll find out something is good
Oh black metal you're so misunderstood
- Hopefully
I wont ask you where you're goin.
I wont ask you where you been.
I know after a million times you get sick of all my lines,
But I just wanna see you safe again.
Hopefully it occurs to me that there's one thing I cant stand.
That's the thought of a single day, without your head in my hand.
I know that just now I aint been showin,
The kind of love you know that I can.
- I Will Be There When You Die
Joe was born in new york city, son of Paul and Catherine.
always down and always out,
but his morals always seemed just fine.
there will be bigotry and there will be open minds.
there will be days of peace you'll never have the time.
AS LONG AS YOU KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE,
I will be there when you die
I was born in east Kentucky, home of where the grass is dyed.
- I Will Sing You Songs
I will sing to you of greater things...
Money, gold, and diamond rings

Stories of the greater things...
Fill your heart and soul with beer (tears)

I will sing to you of greater things...
Money, gold, and diamond rings

and if we get too close this evening, well apart we'll grow in time...
and i know (that you're mine). oooo.
sherie your heart, i'll take you there, it ain't far.
and if all else fails, i'll come running back,
wonderin where you went with my heart.
sherie your arms deceive me, sherie i know you're fine...
and i know (that you're mine) sherie your heart,
- It Makes No Difference
It makes no difference where I turn
I can't get over you and the flame still burns
It makes no difference, night or day
The shadow never seems to fade away
And the sun don't shine anymore
And the rains fall down on my door, now there's no love
As true as the love that dies untold

- librarian
Walk across the courtyard,
Towards the library.
I can hear the insects buzz on the leaves, 'neath my feet.
Ramble up the stairwell,
To the hall of books.
Since we got the interweb these hardly get used.
- Look at You
Look at you:
Such a fine citizen!
Look at you:
Such a glowing example of peace and glory. Glory. Glory.
Of peace and Glory. Glory. Glory.

Moving away, crazy destiny

Moving away

- Off The Record
Sorry'bout the things that I had to say
— And I'll make it up to you right now at the Penny Arcade.
In an open car or wherever you are
— Push yourself too hard and it might get hot.
Well I really don't need the confusion
— And you know I just ain't the type
To get all wrapped up in the illusion of doin' something
That I know ain't right — right-right???
- One Big Holiday
wakin up feelin good and limber
when the telephone it ring
was a bad man from california
tellin of a stone he'd bring
and of better days
from this town, we'd escape
if we holler loud and make our way
we'd all live one big holiday
- Only Memories Remain
Only memories remain
Only memories remain
For a time, there by the sea
There was only you and me
In a land that time forgot
You uttered sweet forget-me-nots
And you know yeah I never will
But sometimes life has other ideas
- Outta My System
They told me not to smoke drugs, but I wouldn’t listen
Never thought I’d get caught and wind up in prison
Chalk it up to youth but young age I ain’t dissing
I guess I just had to get it outta my system
Outta my system… outta my system
Oh Lord I’d never do it now I know what I ain’t missing
Glad I went and got it all outta my system
- Phone Went West
Is there a doctor in the house tonite?
If there's a wrong, he could make it right.
Is there still a lock on your front door?
Is there still a lock on yer back door?
Tell me im wrong, tell me im right.
Tell me there's nobody else in the world.
Tell me im wrong. Tell me im right.
Tell me there's nobody else in the world.
- Picture of You
i've got the ocean blue.
i've got a picture of you with green green eyes
and a cocaine smile and a little worry anymore.
i've got a house in a court, i've got a car and a door and a big left arm.
and a little worry any more, cause i tried, i did.
sorry, you know im sorry you know i'd give you anything on a dime.
sorry again. cut your little head.
but sorry don't mean nothin, if sorry's still in bed.
- Remnants
remnants of the empire- artifacts of love.
will i meet the designer, what will he dream up?
remnants of the empire- gravity awake...
what's held down to the ground next round goes into space.
raising up the empire- innocence and faith-
what will hold you up and what will stand in your way?
then i saw a new "heaven" - formed in the bleeding light of dusk-
- Rocket Man
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
- RocketMan
Она упаковала мои вещи ночью, перед взлётом.
Час, девять утра,
И я буду высоко,
Как тот воздушный змей тогда.
Я так сильно скучаю по земле,
Я скучаю по жене.
Это одиночество в открытом космосе,
- Slow Slow Tune
Slow, not the meter of today
But I'm not singing for night anyway
This slow, slow tune
You, somewhere in the future listening
I hope the present for you is glistening
With notes that ring so true
This slow, slow tune
- Smokin' From Shootin'
Have you had enough excitement now

You never wanted to be treated like a woman
You maintained you was just a kid
Well at least you were of age my dear
these days kids they grow so fast
You never wanted to be committed to the present
- Steam Engine

Because I love you too much baby

When you don't believe a word I say?
- Thank You Too
[Verse 1]
Really didn't think I was gonna make it
Really didn't think I was gonna make it this way
Put on my robot face
Hide my emotions way far away from me
[Chorus 1]
Oh, you really saw my naked heart
- The Day Is Coming
You need it
That's for sure
You receive, but always want more
Taken, for granted
This lifetime and what's up ahead
But the day is coming
The day is near

Remember when you were seventeen
You goin' crazy, you know what I mean
It wasn't that long ago
In the grand scheme of things
It wasn't that long ago
You think you're so much smarter now
Twenty one everything stays in place
Forty one some things start to fade
- Victory Dance
Should I close my eyes and prophesize
Hoping maybe someday come
Should I wet the ground with my own tears
Crying over whats been done
Should I lift the dirt and plant the seed
If I knew I'll never grow
Should I wet the ground with the sweat from my brow
- War Begun
stolen as the war begun, this time your soul is my one.
i belong to a race of robots, drownin out my one.
anytime your war gets out of hand i'll take it on.
stolen as the wars begun, this time your soul is my one.
I'd move on, but i know you'll need me some day.
I'd roll on, but i know you'll need me some day.

Up and up and up I climb
When I came up I was so far behind
My head takes a lickin
But my heart keeps on tickin
Just the same
Always startin over but somehow
I always know where to begin

So much goin on these days

A carton of eggs think.
It's all worthwhile.

'Cause Christmas, Christmas, Christmas time is here again
Yes, the Christmas time feelin' is in the air again, ahh, ahh, ahh
- You Wanna Freak Out
Play it safe, play it cool
If you ever emote, you're playing the fool
Is that the way you think it is?
You can't get yours if he ain't getting his c'mon
You know how you are
First you're up, up, down, down
One day you're in, the next one you're out
