- 05. Lightning Bolt
She comes on like a stone
But you don’t know where from she was thrown
Like a burning meteor from miles high
Looking for a place to land
She said, "Have you got yourself some sand?"
And whatever you’d reply she took as "Yes"
Now she comes out the deep
- 1. All Night
Got all night
Plenty of time
Take these chains
From my eyes
So alive

Take 'em there
Before you die

Who's got the brain of JFK?

The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieved
The whole world will be different soon
- 1. Breakerfall
There's a girl on a ledge, who's got nowhere to turn
Because all the love that she had was just wood that she burned
Now her life is on fire, it's no one's concern
She can blame the world...prey til dawn
But only love...can breakerfall
Breakerfall
Yeah only love can breakerfall...fall
- 1. Can't Keep
I wanna shake
I wanna wind out
I wanna leave
This mind and shout
I've lived
All this life
Like an ocean
- 1. Gonna See My Friend
Do you wanna hear something sick?
We are but victims of desire
I'm gonna shake this thing
I wanna shake this pain before I retire
I’m gonna see my friend,.. I'm gonna see my friend
Make it go away
I’m sick of everything,.. gonna see my friend
- 1. Last Exit
Lives opened and trashed...'look ma, watch me crash'...
No time to question...why'd nothing last...
Grasp and hold on...we're dyin' fast...
Soon be over...and I will relent...
Let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past
Three days, and maybe longer
Won't even know I've left
- 1. Life Wasted
You're always saying that there's something wrong,...
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along,...
Death came around, forced to hear its song,...
And know tomorrow can't be depended on.
I seen the home inside your head,...
All locked doors and unmade beds.
- 10. Deep
On the edge
Windowsill
Ponders his maker
Ponders his will
To the street below
He just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view...
And he sinks the needle Deep
- 10. Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
- 10. Force Of Nature
Understand she’s a force of nature
Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Exorcising her will to lose control
She lets go
A common man, he don’t stand a chance, no
Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole
No way to save someone who won't take the rope
- 10. Green Disease
It's a disease,... and they're all green
It emanates from their being
A satiation,.. with occupation
And like weeds,.. with big leaves
Stealing light from what's beneath
Where they have more,...
Still they take more
- 10. Pilate
Talk of circles and punching out
Looking in, drawing circles down
Falling up the south marking ground
Talking out of turn, drawing circles down
Like Pilate, I have a dog
Like Pilate, I have a dog
- 10. Present Tense
Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
- 10. Rival
All my rivals will see what I have in store,... my gun
I've been harboring fleets in this resevoir,... red sun...
And this nation's about to explode...
Your disciples are riddled with metaphors,... well hung..
Better pony up, bring both your barrelfuls,.. not one...
As we release this unspeakable toll...
- 10. Satan's Bed
It's not all been said...been said and done...
I've never slept in Satan's bed
Although I must admit...still visits my place
Uninvited, as you know, he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to fit in
Funny how I always want to give in
Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same
Sometimes the special guest, he don't like to leave
- 10. U
THOUGHT IT WAS EASY TO FALL IN LOVE
BUT YOU, YOU, YOU

OH, YOU, YOU, YOU

How long must she stand
Before the ground, it gives way
To an endless fall
She can feel this
War on her face
Stars on her pillow
Folding in darkness
Begging for slumber
- 11. Do The Evolution
Woo...
I'm ahead, I'm a man

Going out with disco
Going out like bacchanal

Going out alone
To the radar zone
It's all just inadvertent imitation
- 11. Release
I see the world
Feel the chill
Which way to go
Windowsill
I see the words
On a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain
- 11. Sleight Of Hand
Routine was the theme,... he'd wake up,..wash and pour himself
Into uniform,... something he hadn't imagined being...
As the merging traffic passed,... he found himself staring,..
Down,... at his own... hands..
Not remembering the change,... not recalling the plan,
Was it...?
- 11. The End
What were all those dreams we shared
Those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made
Now left beside the road?
Behind us in the road
More than friends I always pledged
Cause friends they come and go
- 12. Come Back
If I keep holding out,... will the light shine through?
Under this broken roof,... it's only rain that I feel
I've been waiting out the days,... Come Back.
I have been planning out,... All that I'd say to you
Since you slipped away,... Know that I still remain true
I've been wishing out the days,..
- 12. Gremmie Out Of Control
Every beach has a clown who thinks he knows it all.
Hang-ten outta Santa Fe when surf comes out tomorrow lets go!
And he's always practicing his cowabunga call.
Cowabunga!
But the menace scrambles when the big waves start to roll.
Wsssshhhh...
'Cause there's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
- 12. Indifference
I will light the match this morning, so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
Oh I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
Oh I will make my way, through, one more day in...hell
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...
- 12. Soon Forget
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette
Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic
What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget
That's one more time around,... the sun is going down
The moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting,
Putting people down...he's pissing,.. he's living...
A day he'll soon forget
- 13. Around the Bend
I am wishing you a well
Mind at peace within your cell
Covers up, I cast you off
I'll be watching as you breathe
I lie still, you move, I send
You,... off around the bend
I hold your head deep in my arms
- 13. Inside Job
Underneath this smile lies everything
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame
make yourself a pact, not to shut doors on the past
just for today,... I am free
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
- 13. MFC
Sliding... out of reverse into drive, this
Wheel will be turning right, then straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride
She can... remember a time denied, stood by
Side of the road, spilled like wine, now
She's out on her own and line high
There's no leaving here
- 13. Parting Ways
Behind her eyes there's curtains...
And they've been closed to hide the flames,... remains...
She knows... their future's burning,
But she can smile just the same, same...
And though her mood is fine today
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
- 14. Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me
Dont you want people to love you?
My spanking, thats the only thing I want so much...
Spanking, thats the only thing I want so much...
Thats the only thing I want so much...
Dont you want people to love you?
My spanking, thats the only thing I want so much...
Thats the only thing I want so much...
Why is that better than being hugged?
- 15. Hold On
I was drawn...
Riding atop a black horse.
Whatever prize there was,...
I could only observe...
Where the trouble starts.
Where does it end?
How can I be cured?
How, before it ends?
- 2. Animal
One, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, against one
Said one, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five...five, five...five against one
Torture from you to me
Abducted from the street
I'd rather be...
- 2. Gods' Dice
It's out of my hands, making your hands meet
Stumble as it's crumbling out of reach
It's in the cards on destiny
Your sanity in tow
Designate my luck
Ah resignate...
- 2. Got Some
Every night with the lights out, where you gone?
What’s wrong?
Everytime you can try but can’t turn on
Your rock song
Got some if you need it
Get it now / get it on / before its gone
- 2. Hail Hail
Is there room enough for both of us?
Both of us apart?

I don't wanna think, I wanna feel
How do I feel?
How do I?...
- 2. Low Lite
Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?

Can't see my tracks,
Your scent-way back

See this needle...a see my hand...
Drop, drop, dropping it down...oh, so gently...

Consider me an object. Put me in a vacuum.

Feel it rising,... Comatose, with no fear of falling
- 3. Daughter
Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins(ence)...center of her own attention
Mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
- 3. Evacuation
The sirens scream wanton attention
Time to take heed and change direction
Time to take stock and make omissions
Evacuation.... Evacuation...
Time to take leave of formal functions
Time to plant seeds of reconstruction
- 3. In Hiding
I shut and locked the front door
No way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around
But nothing's sound, nothing's sound
I'd stay but my last tab left me
- 3. Love Boat Captain
Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...

It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love
- 4. Cropduster
Light green to green, dark green, brown..

Every life is looking in

You fool, dude what do what you think you're doing?
So you're lost, my problem, that's not
Conductor says, 'off of my train'

- 4. Light Years
I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules..
I've deciphered tricks at the bar...
But now you're gone,... I haven't figured out why...
I've come up with riddles... and jokes about war...
I've figured out numbers and what they're for...
I've understood feelings.. and I've understood words...
But how could you be taken away?...
- 4. Push Me, Pull Me
I had a false belief

Push me, pull me, or pull me out
Push me, pull me

Big man stands behind an open door

Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
Wounded is the organ, he left all...bloodied on the shore...
Gorgeous was his savior, sees her...drowning in his wake...
Daily taste the salt of her tears, but...a chance blamed fate...
Little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
Ransom paid the devil...he whispers pleasing words...

What went wrong?
Walking tightrope high,... Over moral ground
- 5. Nothing As It Seems
Don't feel like home,.. he's a little out...
And all these words elope,.. it's nothing like your poem...
Putting in,.. inputting in,.. don't feel like methadone...
Scratching voice.. all alone,.. it's nothing like your baritone
It's nothing as it seems,.. the little that he needs,. it's home
The little that he sees,.. is nothing. He concedes,.. it's home
One uninvited chromosome,.. a blanket like the ozone.
- 5. Smile
Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make you smile?
When the sun don't shine? (Shine at all)

When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all

Mmm, Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone Ever before.
Had a woman long as he can remember. His to forget
But he can't, he can't.
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower. She's standing naked, He's apologizing.

Got his knees to his face, she can't take it any other way.

Know a man...his face seems pulled and tense...
Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax...

There's a light,... when my baby's in my arms...
There's a light,... when the window shades are drawn

And I know she's reached my heart,... in thin air
Byzantine... is reflected in our pond...

Another habit says it's in love with you...
- 7. Unemployable
He's got a big gold ring what says \\"Jesus Saves\\"

After the big boss said, \\"You best be on your way\\"
Oh yeh
So this life is sacrifice
- 7. Unthought Known
All the thoughts,... You never see,... You’re always thinking,...
Brain is wired,... Brain is deep,... Oh are you sinking?,...

Look for love & evidence,... That you’re worth keeping,...
Swallowed whole in negatives,... It's so sad & sickening,...
- 8. Corduroy
The waiting drove me mad... you're finally here and I'm a mess

A-push me and I will resist... this behavior's not unique

I'm questioning my education

Would my fears now by winning?
I'm questioning my own equation

Our modern needs

I'm waiting 'till sundown
I'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine,
Wait for the moment
The moment between us, the fire is made now,
Harder to touch
I wanted to get right

No more tired evenings
This American dream
I am disbelieving
When the gas in my tank
Feels like money in the bank
Gonna blow it all this time

They don't eat, don't sleep
They don't feed, they don't seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
They don't push, don't crowd
Congregate until they're much too loud
Fuck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so called best friend

Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop

She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.

Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

There's a girl on a ledge she's got nowhere to turn,
Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned,

She can blame the world or prey till dawn
But only love can break her fall,
Break her fall,
Yeah, only love can break her fall, fall.

Where you been, can I find
A glimpse of my friend

- Crazy Mary
She lived on a curve in the road, in an old tar-paper shack
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say:
"Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?"
Sometimes we did but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary
Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place
- Daughter
Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room

But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past...a holy no...
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold, oh...she folded...
- Do The Evolution

- Don't Be Shy
Don't be shy
Just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear
'Cause nobody will no you're there
Just lift your head
And let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy
Just let your feelings roll on by
- Education
I'm questioning my education
Is my education all i am now?
While you're deciding i've been finding
Looking around in the here and now
If I'd been taught from the beginning
Would my fears now be winning?
- Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
i seem to recognize your face
haunting, familiar, yet i can't seem to place it
cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
lifetimes are catching up with me
all these changes taking place, i wish i'd seen the place
but no one's ever taken me
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
- Even Flow
Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again...
- Evenflow
Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, feelin' maybe he'll see a little better set a days, ooh yeah
Oh hand out faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, ooh yeah
Oh, dark grin he can't help when he's happy, looks insane, yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know so he chases them away, yeah
Oh, someday, yeah, he'll begin his life again
- Faithful
Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
Or been stepped on
Whatever the notions, we laced in our prayers
The man upstairs is used to all of this noise
I'm through with screaming
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
- Faithfull
Plaque on the wall says that, "No one's slept here."
It's rare to come appon a bridge that has not been around, or been stepped on.
Whatever the notion we lace in our prayers, the man upstairs is used to all of this noise.
I'm through with screaming.
It echoes. Nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes.
Like echoes. Nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes, like this.
- Fatal
How good is he? How warm are his eyes?
You'll see it's not a reprise
Did he arrive too late and too tethered away to put on his suit and his tie?
How good is he? How warm is his heart or ego, telling him which place to park?
Did he relate? The message is clearly, hardly grounds for dismissal
outright... Grounds for dismissal outright...
I wake up and wait up
When anger's in fashion
- Force Of Nature
Understand She's a Force of Nature
Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Exercising her will to lose control
she lets go
Common Man he don't stand a chance no
Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole
no way to save someone who won't take the rope
- Fortunate Son
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Oh, that red, white 'n blue
And when they play "Hail to the Chief"
Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son
It ain't me, it ain't me
- Garden
She don't wander in...don't wander in here, she...
She don't wander in here...don't wander in here...
The direction of the eye, so misleading
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick
I don't question, our existence
I just question, our modern needs
- Get It Back
On the side of the road
Lost and alone
To get it back
Much farther to go
So far from home
To get it back
Frozen in time
Turn on a dime
- Getaway
Everyone's a critic looking back up the river
Every boat is leaking in this town
Everybody is thinking they can all be delivered sitting in a box like lost and found
But I found my place and it's all right
We're all searching for a better way
Get this off my plate
It's all right, I got my own way to believe
Find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
- Ghost
The mind is grey like the city, packing in and overgrown
Love is deep, dig it out
Standing in a hole alone
Working for something that one can never hold
A place in the clouds
Good place to hide oh my oh...
So I'm flying (away, away)
Driving (away, away)
- Gimme Some Truth
I'm sick and tired of hearing things,
From uptight, short sighted, narrow minded hypocrites,
All I want is the truth,
Just gimme some truth,
I've had enough of reading things,
By neurotic, psychotic, pig headed politicians,
All I want is the truth,
Just give us the truth,
- Given To Fly
He couldve tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
- Glorified G
got a gun, fact i got two
that's ok man, cuz i love god
glorified version of a pellet gun
feels so manly, when armed
glorified version of a pellet gun
glorified version of a pellet gun
glorified version of a pellet gun
glorified version of a pellet gun
- God's dice
It's out of my hands making your hands meet.
????? rises crumbling out of reach.
It's in the cards of destiny your sanity in tow.
Designate my luck. Uh resignate.
This power has no roots to guide. No role.
Trust me. Rusted minds refuse to go.
- Gods' Dice
It’s out of my hands, making all hands meet
Stumble as it’s crumbling out of reach
It’s in the cards of destiny
Your sanity in tow
Designate my luck
Resignate
This power has no roots to guide, no role
- Gone
No more upset mornings
No more trying evenings
This American Dream I am disbelieving
When the gas in my tank feels like money in the bank
Gonna blow it all this time, take me one last ride
Oh the lights of the city, they only look good when I'm speeding
I wanna leave em all behind me cause this time I'm gone
Long gone,
- Gonna See My Friend
Do you want to hear something sad?
We are but victims of desire
I'm gonna shake this day
I wanna shake this day before I retire
I'm gonna see my friend
I'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
I'm sick of everything
- Got Some
Every night with the lights out where you gone? What's wrong?
Every time you can try but can't turn on, a rock song
I got some if you need it, I got some if you need it
I got some if you need it, I got some if you need it
Get it now, get it on, before its gone, let's everybody carry on, carry on
Get it now, set it off, before its gone, let's everybody carry on, carry on
- Green Disease
(G-are-E-E-D)
(G-are-E-E-D)
(G-are-E-E-D)
It's a disease and they're all green
It emanates from their being
A satiation with occupation
And like weeds with big leaves
Stealing light from what's beneath
- Grievance
Have a drink they're buying,
Bottom of, bottle of denial,
Big guy, big eye, watching me,
Have to wonder what it sees,
Progress, laced with, ramifications,
Freedom's big plunge.
- Habit
See it happen to a couple of friends
See it happen and the message it sends
Taking off for what's an obvious fall
Just to see what all the fuss is about
It's not your way...not your way...
It's not your way...yeah...
Another habit sentence him up with you
Another habit says he's long overdue
- Hail Hail
Ah, is there room for both of us
Both of us apart
Are we bound out of obligation
Is that all we've got?
I get the words and then I get to thinkin'
I don't wanna think, I wanna feel
How do I feel?
- Hail, Hail
Ah is there room for both of us? Both of us apart?
Are we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got?
I get the words and then I get to thinkin'
But I don't want to think I want to feel!
How do I feel? And how do I...
If you're the only one well I'll never be enough yeah...
Hail hail the lucky ones I refer to those in love yeah...
A how I love you till the day I die...ah and beyond...
- Hard To Imagine
Paint a picture using only grey
Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames.
I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long.
It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.
Ohh [x4]
Tear into yourself count days on your arm.
- Hold On
I was born...
Riding on top a black horse.
Whatever prize there was,...
Oh, you could only observe...
It's where the trouble starts.
Where does it end?
How can I be through...
Before it ends?
- I Am Mine
The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind
The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
- I Believe in Miracles
I used to be on an endless run
Believed in miracles 'cuz I'm one
I've been blessed with the power to survive
After all these years I'm still alive
I'm out here kickin with the band
I am no longer a solitary man
Everyday my time runs out
- I've Got A Feeling
(The Beatles cover)
I've got a feelin', a feelin' deep inside.
I've got a feelin', a feelin' I can't hide.
I got a feelin'.
Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train.
And if you leave me, I won't be late again, no, no, no.
- Immortality
Immortality
Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
A truant finds home...and I wish to hold on...
- In Hiding
I shut and locked the front door
No way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around
But nothing's sound, nothing's sound
I'd stay but my last cab left me
- Indifference
I will light the match this mornin', so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon night will be gone
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
Oh, I will make my way, through, one more day in Hell...
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make, yeah...
I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
- Inside Job
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
Make myself a pact not to shut doors on the past
Just for today I am free
I'll not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
- Insignificance
all in all, it's no one's fault
excuses turn to carbon walls
blame it all on chemical intercourse
the swallowed seeds of arrogance
breeding in the thoughts of ten thousand fools that fight irreverance
the full moon is dead skin
the one down here's wearing thin
so set are the ten pins as the human tide rolls in
- Jeremy
At home
Drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention, ohh
- Johnny Guitar
Johnny Guitar wasn't staring at me
Riding on 3 wheels, a woman on his knee
With a leg under the red dress I wish I could see
Farther? the love of lingering
Now Johnny he be having lots of women
Oh the reason he'd be smiling known to him
On the left the girl in red so innocent
- Just A Girl.
Thieves in the window
Trouble down the hall
The resin white ceiling
Blood, dripping, flows
Out on the front line
Preachers sweep the earth
Out on their backsides
With nothing in common, with no problem
- Just breath
Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh
Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love
Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they've got none
Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...
- Just Breathe
Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh,..
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh,..
I’m a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love,..
Some folks just have one,
Others they got none, aw huh,..
- Last Exit
Lives opened and trashed..."Look ma, watch me crash..."
No time to question...why'd nothing last...
Grasp and hold on...hold tight and fast...
Soon be over...and I will relent...
Let the ocean swell dissolve 'way my past
Three days and maybe longer won't even know I've left
Under your tongue...I'm like a tab...
I will give you what...you're not supposed to have...
- Last Kiss
Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, up straight ahead
- Leatherman
I read about a man to whom I may be related
Leatherman
Died a long time ago, in the 1880s
Leatherman, Leatherman
Covered with leather but it wasn't tight
Underneath the moon in the woods at night
- Leaving Here
Hey, fellas, have you heard the news
Yeah, the women in this town have been misused
Yeah, I seen it all in my dreams last night
Girls leaving this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right
Oh, take a train (take a train), fly by plain (fly by plain)
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick and tired (sick and tired)
All you fellas better change your ways
- Light years
Light Years
Vedder, mccready, gossard
I've used hammers made out of wood.
I have played games with pieces and rules.
I undeciphered tricks at the bar, but now you're gone.
I haven't figured out why.
- Lightning Bolt
She comes on like a stone
But you don't know where from she was thrown
Like a burning meteor from miles high
Shes looking for a place to land
She said you got yourself some sand
And whatever you'd reply she took as yes
She comes out the deep?
With her newly planted seeds and soon you're
- Long Nights
Have no fear
For when I'm alone
I'll be better off than I was before
I've got this life
I'll be around to grow
Who I was before
I cannot recall
- Long Road
and I wished for so long...
I cannot stay
All the precious moments...
Cannot stay
It's not like wings have fallen...
I cannot say
- Love reign over me
Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach
Is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Layin' in the fields
- Love, Reign O'er Me
Only love can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers' laying in the fields
Love, Reign o'er me
Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me, reign o'er me
- Man of the Hour
Tidal waves don’t beg forgiveness
Crashed and on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions; others walked away
A snowflake falls in May.
And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.
- Mankind
You'll be
Going out with radio
Going out with disco
Going out like bacchanal
I'll be
Going out with telephone
Going out alone
To the radar zone
- MFC
Sliding out of reverse into drive.
This wheel will be turning right, then straight.
Off in the sunset she'll ride.
She can remember a time, denied.
Stood by the side of the road.
Spilled like wine now.
She's out on her own and line high.
- Mind Your Manners
I've got an unfortunate feelin', I've been beaten down
I feel I don't believe and now the truth is coming out
What they've taken is more than a vow
They've taken your innocence and then they throw them on a burning fire
All along they're sayin' mind your manners
I caught myself believin' that I needed God
And if it's hard for some we sure could use it now
Try my patience, my patience tried
- No Way
Here's a token of my openness
Of my need to not disappear
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me
I found my mind too clear
I just need someone to be there for.. me
I just want someone to be there for.. me
All the static in my attic-a
- Nothing As It Seems
Don't feel like home. He's a little out.
And all these words elope. It's nothing like your poem.
Putting in. Inputting in. Don't feel like methadone.
A scratching voice all alone it's nothing like your baritone.
It's nothing as it seems. The little that he needs. It's home.
The little that he sees. Is nothing he concedes. It's home.
- Nothingman
Pearl Jam - Nothingman
Once divided...nothing left to subtract...
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
- Oceans
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards you
Know something's left
And we're all allowed
to dream of the next
Oh the next... time we touch..........
- Off He Goes
One...Two...One...Two
Know a man
His face seemed pulled and tense
Like he's ridin' on a motorbike
In the strongest winds
So I approach with tact
Suggest that he should relax
But he's always movin' much too fast
- Once
I admit it...what's to say...yeah...
I'll relive it...without pain...mmm...
Backseat lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I play...
Once upon a time I could CONTROL myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could LOSE myself, yeah...
- Parachutes
Why deny
all the troubles?
when combined
with the missing links
it don't feel like...
home now...
that your gone
- Parting ways
Behind her eyes there's curtains
And they've been closed to hide the flames. Remains.
She knows their future's burning
But she can smile just the same. Same.
And though her mood is fine today
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways...
Standing like a statue.
- Pilate
Talk of circles and punching out
Looking in drawing circles down
Falling up the south marking ground
Talking out of turn drawing circles down
Like Pilate I have a dog
{Obeys listens kisses loves}
- Porch
What the fuck is this world
Running to, you didn't
Leave a message, at least I
Coulda' learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield, this could
Be my time, 'bout you?
Would you hit me? (2x)
Oh oh oh...oh whoa whoa...ow...
- Present Tense
Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire?
Leanin' out to catch the sun's ray
A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of this?
All encompassing trip
You can spend your time alone
- Rats
They don't eat, don't sleep
They don't feed, they don't seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
They don't push, don't crowd
Congregate until they're much too loud
Fuck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so called best friend
- Rear View Mirror
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks or apologize
I couldn't breathe holdin' me down
Hand on my face kissin' the ground
Enmity gauged united by fear
'Posed to endure what I could not forgive...
- Rearview mirror

- Red Mosquito
watched from the window, with a red mosquito
i was not allowed to leave the room
i saw the sun go down, and now it's coming up
somewhere in the time between
i was bitten, must have been the devil
he was just paying me...
a little visit, reminding me of his presence
letting me know, he's a-waiting... oh
- Release
I see the world, feel the chill
Which way to go, windowsill
I see the world's on a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain
Oh, dear dad, can you see this now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
- Retrograde
Comes the summer rain
Cue the lighting and far off thunder again
Projecting through the clouds
And meditations, lifting out in the sound
The more mistakes the more resolve
It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up
Stars align they say when things are better than right now
- Rival
All my rivals will see what I have in store
My gun
I've been harboring fleets in this reservoir
Red sun
And this nation's about to explode
Your disciples are riddled with metaphors
Well-hung
- River Cross
Always thought I'd cross that river
The other side distant now
As I got close it turned and widened
Horizon now, fading out
Drifting off in the undertow
Can't spot a figure on dry land
And afterthoughts of safety
When in truth, none to be had
- Sad
All the photographs are peeling
and colors turn to gray, he stayed
in his room with memories for days, he faced
an undertow of future's laid to waste, embraced
by the loss of one he could not replace
and there's no reason that she'd passed
and there is no god with a plan, it's sad
- Saying No
he say to her he wants it easy
he expects her to be easy
he wants it to be easy
but she says no,she says no i don't want to
She says no,she says no, i don't want to
he expects it too,e-easy
but she says stop,you gotta stop
- Severed Hand
Big man stands behind an open door
Said, "leave your lady on the cement floor."
"Got some kicks, wanna take ride?"
I said, "Yeah,..."
"Take your pick, leave yourself behind."
I said "Yeah,..."
- Sirens
Hear the sirens, hear the siren
Hear the siren, hear the circus all go found
I hear the sirens more and more in this here town
Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bend
Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
This light is pit, alive and I can see you clear
I could take your hand, and feel your breath
- Sleight Of Hand
Sleight of Hand
Vedder, ament
Routine was the theme. he'd wake up wash and pour himself into uniform.
Something he hadn't imagined being.
As the merging traffic passed he found himself staring down at his own hands.
Not remembering the change. not recalling the plan. was it?
- Smile
Don't it make you smile? (2x)
When the sun don't shine it don't shine at all...
Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make me smile? Yeah...
When the sun don't shine it don't shine at all...yeah...
Don't it make me smile?
I miss you already yeah...I miss you always...
- Soldier Of Love
Lay down your arms, and surrender to me
Lay down your arms, and love me peacefully
Use your arms to squeeze, please
I'm the one who loves you so
There ain't no reason for you to delcare
War on the one who loves you so
- Sometimes
Large fingers pushin' paint
You're God and you got big hands
The colors blend
The challenges you give man
Seek my part
Devote myself, my small self
Like a book amongst the many on a shelf
- Soon forget
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a Corvette
Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic
What's missing? he's living a day he'll soon forget
That's one more time around, the sun is going down
The moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting, putting people down
He's pissing, he's living a day he'll soon forget
Counts his money every morning
The only thing that keeps him horny
- Speed Of Sound
Yesterday's how quick they change
Lost and long gone now
It's hard to remember anything moving at the speed of sound
Moving at the speed of sound
And yet I'm still holding tight to this dream of distant light
And yet somehow I'll survive but this night has been a long one
Waiting on the sun that just dont come
- Spin The Black Circle
(Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder)
See this needle. A-see my hand.
Drop, drop, dropping it down oh so gently.
Well here it comes. I touch the plane.
Turn me up, won't turn you away.
Spin, spin... Spin the black circle.
- State of Love and Trust
State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Since their plays and preachers went to heaven and to court, uh huh
And the signs are passin', grip the wheel, can't read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands... hands... yeah
And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Lay her down as priest does, should the Lord be a countin'
- Strangest Tribe
It's five below in evidence.
The winded eves and sideways snow.
His eminence has yet to show.
Follow the ageless tide.
Follow the angled light.
Follow the strangest tribe.
I... I... I...
- Supersonic
Yeah
Yeah, I been dreamin' of gettin' along
Now I'm awake, dreamin' keep it on keeping on
I catch a break, then a punch to the head
I smile big with a toothless grin, yeah
Supersonic gone and took my soul
- Take The Long Way
You got me through these feelings
That separate me from you
I put myself through a beating
I need you to pull me through
I'll break through these feelings
I'll break through the ceiling
- The End
What were all those dreams we shared
those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made now
left beside the road?
Behind us in the road
More than friends, I always pledged
cause friends they come and go
- The Fixer
Yeah, hey, hey
When somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it
When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it
If somethings old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When somethings gone, I wanna fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
- Thin Air
There's a light, when my baby's in my arms.
There's a light, when the window shades are drawn.
Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her.
Wash it off cause this feeling we can share.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
Byzantine is reflected in our pond.
There's a cloud, but the water remains calm.
- Throw Your Arms Around Me
I will come to you in the daytime
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go runnin' down your street
I will squeeze the life right out of you
I will make you laugh, I'll make you cry
And we may never forget it
As I make you call my name
- Thumbing My Way
I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
Counting steps, walking backwards on the road
I'm counting my way back to heaven
I can't be free with what's locked inside of me
If there was a key, you took it in your hand
There's no wrong or right, but i'm sure there's good and bad
The questions linger overhead
- Tremor Christ
Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
Wounded is the organ he left all...bloody on the shore...
Gorgeous was his savior, sees her...drowning in his wake...
I barely taste the salt of her tears, but...a chance played fate...
Little secrets, tremors...turn to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
- U
Влюбиться просто, думал я. А ты…
Ты не такая, знаю я теперь.
Быть может, просто ты коварна? Может
Ты так себя ведешь всегда, со всеми?
Быть может, всё придумала нарочно?
А может, просто так проводишь время…
Ты — это ты. Себе не представляю
О чём с тобой могу я говорить?
- Unemployable
He's got a big gold ring which says Jesus Saves
and it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day
when he smashed the metal locker where he kept his things
after the big boss say "You best be on your way"
So this life is sacrifice
oh yeah
jumping trains just to survive
- Unthought Known
All the thoughts you never see
You are always thinking
Brain is wide, the brain is deep
Oh, are you sinking?
Feel the path of every day
Which road you taking?
Breathing hard, making hay
- Untitled
got a car, got some gas,
lets get out of here, get out of here fast,
oh everyone's confused, so I stay in my room,
if I go...I don't want... to go...alone...
I hope you get this message, or you're not home
I could be there in ten mintues or so,
oh I got my things, we'll make it up as we go along,
- W.M.A.
He won the lottery when he was born
Took his mothers white breast to his tongue
Trained like dogs, color and smell
Walks by me to get to him
Police man (2x)
He won the lottery by being born
Big hand slapped a white male 'merican
- Wash
Oh please let it rain today. This city's so filthy. Like my mind in ways.
Oh it was the time. Like a clean new taste.
Smiling eyes before me and tears from my face.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.
Sin for sale. Buying just a need. Just who planted all the devils seeds?
And what's the truth? And the truth that lies at home.
- Whipping
Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet
Don't need a bandage, there's too much...blood...
After a while, seems to roll right off...hmm...
Whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...
- Who Ever Said
Drowning in their dissertations
Random speakers in my mind
Yeah, they never stop their fortifications
And blocking my precious time
You used to let it go and let it float away
You don't get to speak with twice as much to say
It's all delivery
Oh, said the messenger who is now dead
- Wishlist
I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
- World Wide Suicide
I felt the earth on Monday
It moved beneath my feet
In the form of a morning paper
Laid out for me to see
I saw his face in the corner picture
I recognized the name
Could not stop staring at the
Face I'd never see again
- Yellow Ledbetter
Unsealed
On a porch a letter sat
Then you said i wanna leave it again
Once i saw him
On a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand i wanna leave it again
- Yellow Moon
Here far away
One could feel the earth vibrate
Moon changing shape and shade
As we all do under its gaze
Yellow moon on the rise
Yellow moon on the rise
Round we go, where we stop no one knows
So tonight the moon I go
- ровным потоком
Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again...
