"Bring'em Back Alive"
I was on my way to the center of the sun When I lost my wings and I feel into a crowd And they carried me to the hole in the ground And they buried me Where no one could see And no one would be around
I am a virus, I live in silence
I was my way to a city in the clouds When I lost my mind and I had to settle down Then I had a dream of an island in the sea Where the lepers die Where no one survives And no one can hear the cries
I am a virus, I live in silence
And just like the heathens thinking On our feet we believe in God And with one step, two steps Three steps toward the graveyard On the high road to remembering It seems that we forgot
I am a virus, I live in silence
"Cochise"
I've been watching While you've been coughing I've been drinking life While you've been nauseous And so I drink to health While you kill yourself And I've got just one thing That I can offer
[Chorus] Go on and save yourself And take it out on me Go on and save yourself And take it out on me
I'm not a martyr I'm not a prophet And I won't preach to you But here's a caution You better understand That I won't hold your hand But if it helps you mend Then I won't stop it
[Chorus]
Drown if you want And I'll see you at the bottom Where you'll crawl on my skin And put the blame one me So you don't feel a thing
[Chorus]
"Exploder"
I met a man locked away For things he hadn't done Innocence on a ball and chain He'll never feel the sun Again on his face or roses In his hands but when he smiled At me I could understand
[Chorus] If you're free you'll never see the walls If your head is clear you'll never free fall If you're right you'll never fear the wrong If your head is high you'll never fear at all
There was a daughter of a man Who took his life too young She swore she'd never do the same Then did just what he'd done And a boy who's gone insane Voices in his head No one knows what they say Now his mother's dead
[Chorus]
There was a man who had a face That looked a lot like me I saw him in the mirror and I fought him in the street And when he turned away I shot him in the head Then I came to realize I had killed myself
[Chorus]
"Gasoline"
House is haunted I just want to go for a ride Out and on Before I set this room alight Left alone forever and for crimes unclear With my patience gone Someone take me far from here
[Chorus] Burning that gasoline Burning that gasoline
New day ywaning another day of solitaire House is honest Clearly more than I bear Drag me off Before I set my world on fire Out and gone the sun will never Set tonight
[Chorus]
No what fors Only a can of red says danger on it I have found another way
[Chorus]
"Getaway Car"
The first time I saw you You were chasing down A cyclone All alone in a field With rail yards and clovers I kept rolling on and never thought You'd wind up chasing me
[Chorus] Well settle down I won't hesitate To hit the highway Before you lay me to waste Settle up and I'll help you find Something to drive Before you drive me insane
You're tired of walking and you Loathe the ground Teh sidewalk will barely Touch your feet and life moves Too slowly to hold you down With rining hands You take it out on me
[Chorus]
So get yourself a car and drive it all night long Get yourself a car and ride it on the wind
"Hypnotize"
Well if you set your mind upon it I know that you can You've got everything you wanted You've done everything you planned So let me make an offer I'm only trying to help You can make your load Just a little lighter All you got to do is share the wealth
[Chorus] Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself Oh no don't you keep your Good luck to yourself
Well I know you got problems I see it in your eyes But if you want to live To see the morning Give it up to your brother Or you'll get a suprise
[Chorus]
Well, it's time to see You got to give or you're gonna recieve It's time to see You got to live if you wanna believe You can be
[Chorus]
'I Am The Highway"
Pearls and swine bereft of me Long and weary my road has been I was lost in the cities Alone in the hills No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel
I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky
Friends and liards don't wait for me I'll get on ll by myself I put millions of miles Under my heels And still too close to you I feel
I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet I am the sky I am not your blowing wind I am the lightning I am not your autumn moon I am the night
"Light My Way"
In my hour of need On a sea of grey On my knees I pray to you Help me find the dawn Of the dying day
[Chorus] Won't you light my way Won't you light my way Won't you light my way Won't you light my way
A bullet is a man From time to time he strays I compare my life to this To this I relate And I'm willing To listen to your answers And I'm not ashamed To tell you I need you today
[Chorus]
So when I'm lost Or I'm tired and depraved Or when my high buller mind Goes astray won't you light my way
[Chorus]
"Like A Stone"
On a cobweb afternoon In a room of emptiness By a freeway I confess I was lost in the pages Of a book full of death Reading how we'll die alone And if we're good we'll lay to rest Anywhere we want to go
[Chorus] In your house I long to be Room by room patiently I'll wait for you there Like a stone I'll wait for you there Alone
On my deathbed I will pray To the gods and the angels Like a pagan to anyone Who will take me to heaven To a place I recall I was there so long ago The sky was bruised The win was bled And there you led me on
[Chorus]
And on I read Until the day was gone And I sat in regret Of all the things I've done For all that I've blessed And all that I've wronged In dreams until my death I will wonder on
[Chorus]
"Set It Off"
He was standing at the rock Gathering the flock And getting there with no directions And underneath the arch It turned into a march And there he found the spark to Set this fucker off
[Chorus] Set it off Set it off now children Set it right Set it off Set it off now children Set it off Set it off now children Set a fire Set it off Set it off now children
Suddenly a shot Ripped into his heart He lay in need of some attention And there he played his card Going into shock The last thing that he said was Set this fucker off
[Chorus]
Jesus at the back door Everything is all right All we need is eom direction Everytime the wind blows Everyting you don't know Turns into a revelation And it al udss up inside your head Time is wasting
[Chorus]
"Shadow of The Sun"
Once upon a time I was on a mind to lay your burden down and leave you where you stood you believed i could you'd seen it done before i could read your thoughts and tell you what you saw and never say a word but now that is gone over with and done and never to return
i can tell you why people die alone i can tell you why the shadow on the sun
staring at the loss looking for the cause and never really sure nothing but a hole to live without a soul and nothing to be learned
i can tell you why people go insane i can show you how you could do the same i can tell you why the end will never come i can tell you on the shadow on the sun
shapes of every size move behind my eyes doors inside my head bolted from within every drop of flame lights a candle in memory of the one who lived inside my skin
i can tell you why people go insane i can show you how you could do the same i can tell you why the end will never come i can tell you on the shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun shadow on the sun shadow on the sun shadow on the sun shadow on the sun shadow on the sun shadow on the sun sun sun
"Show Me How To Live"
And with the early dawn Moving right along I couldn't buy and eyeful of sleep And in the aching night under satellites I was not received Built with stolen parts A telephone in my heart Someone get me a priest To put my mind to bed This ringing in my head Is this a cure or is this a disease
[Chorus] Nail in my hand From my creator You gave me life Now show me how to live Nail in my hand From my creator You gave me life Now show me how to live
And in the after birth On the quiet eart Let the stains remind you You thought you made a man You better think again Before my role defines you
[Chorus]
And in our waiting hands I will land And roll out of my skin And in your final hours I still stand Ready to begin
[Chorus]
"The Last Remaining Light"
Roll me on your frozen fields Break my bones to watch them heal Drown me in your thirsty veinsj Where I'll watch and I'll wait And pray for the rain
Curl like smoke and breath again Down your throat inside your ribs Through your spine in every nerve Where I watch and I wait and yield to the hurt
[Chorus] And if you don't beleive The sun will rise Stand alone and greet The coming night In the last remaining light
Seven moons and seven suns Heaven waits for those who run Down your winter and Underneath your waves Where you watch and wait And pray for the day
[Chorus]
"What You Are"
And when you wanted me I came to you And when you wanted someone else I withdrew And when you asked for light I set myself on fire And if I go far away I know You'll find another slave
[Chorus] Cause now I'm free from what you want Now I'm free from what you need Now I'm free from what you are
And when you wanted blood I cut my veins And when you wanted love I bled myself again Now that I've had my fill of you I'll give you up forever I know you'll find another slave
[Chorus]
Then a vision came to me When you came along I gave you everything But then you wanted more
[Chorus]
