1)
Tearing in my heart
When the world falls apart
And its almost too hard
Tearing in your mind
How the pain makes you blind
And when its all said and done
(forever gone)**
Tearing in my heart
A mistake from the start
And its almost too hard
Tarry its my mind
Ill repay you another time
When its all said and done
(forever fall)**
Tearing in your bones
When the road left you alone
And its almost too hard
Tarry in my soul
And you help make me whole
When its all said and done
(forever fold)**
Tearing in my heart
When the world falls apart
And its almost too hard
Tarry in my soul
And you help make me whole
When its all said and done
(forever far)

If you're listening.
Sing it back.
String from your tether unwinds.
Up and outward (but only) to bind.
I was spinning free with a little sweet and simple numbing me.
Are you listening?
Sing it back.
So tell me what do I need when the words lose their meaning.
I was spinning free with a little sweet and simple numbing me.
Yeah, stumble until you crawl.
Sinking into sweet uncertainty.
If you're listening.
Are you listening?
Sing it back.
I'm still running away.
I won't play your hide and seek game.
I was spinning free with a little sweet and simple numbing me.
What a dizzy dance.
This sweetness will not be concerned with me.
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me.
3)
A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as we whirled without end
No hint, no word her honour to defend
I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I lead the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence
One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won't forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone
One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won't forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight
One slip ... one slip

you can hear, hear it comin'
like a train out of control
it surely leaves you wonderin'
exactly where your ticket goes
scream at the conductor
he's been deaf for 20 years
hear the other people laughin'
as it grinds to where it began
go to grab your nerve
you find that it's been missin'
see you've lost your faith
in everyone you know
well i surely hope
that you dont plan on winnin'
there's no payin more attention
won't until you care
you are seconds from the impact
and were movin way too slow
you say time will surely mold you
into somethin' you dont like
now your runnin' like a rabbit
stick your finger in the dyke
look around your room
you find the bed is peelin'
your effective skin is fallin' off your bones
well i must admit i know just how your feelin'
we must grab eachothers collar
must rise out of the water
to know as well as i do and
it's no fun to die alone
after all that i've been through
your the only one that matters
(climb to safety)
you never left me in the dark
here on my own
(climb to safety)
i can hear the water risin'
let me be your ladder
(climb to saftey)
i promise you'll be dry
and never be alone
tell me love has always scared you
like the things under your bed
baby we can walk on water
like some junkies swore they did
you call me on the phone
you say that it is crucial
stick your fingers in your ears till they explode
mind his business and roll along as usual
we must grab eachothers collar
rise out of the water
to know as well as i do and
it's no fun to die alone
after all that i've been through
your the only one that matters
(climb to safety)
you never left me in the dark
here on my own
(climb to safety)
i can hear the water risin'
let me be your ladder

you never left me in the dark
here on my own
(climb to safety)
i can hear the water risin'
let me be your ladder
(climb to saftey)
i promise you'll be dry
and never be alone
yeah yeah climb to saftey
whoa whoa climb to saftey (safety)
yeah yeah climb to saftey
5)
Life can only get better
All you need to do is fall in love
Everyone else has fun but you
Buy that fun you'll fit in too
Dance your problems away
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
Cheap escape to that mind-control beat
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
Mellow out-Life's too hard
You don't even want to think
See the macho cock-rock metal heroes
Vomit fire out of their big mouths
Shake your fists obediently
Make Leni Riefenstahl real proud
See the Aryan bozo with the red guitar
Parachute on the White House lawn
Gonna bomb the commies with his air guitar
So dumb he can't drive 55
Like Bing Crosby before them
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
Too idiotic to be real
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
You want it loud?
We'll make sure it goes nowhere
So you won't get ideas
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Music is banned in Khomeini's Iran
On the grounds that it stimulates the brain
We've done him one better in the land of coke & honey
Using music to put people's brains to sleep
Ever wonder why commercial radio's so bad?
It's 'cause someone upstairs wants it that way
If the Doors or John Lennon were getting started now
The industry wouldn't sign 'em in a million years
So what do we get
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
Christian censorship and taxed blank tapes
Shoppers strung out on our false hopes
Will flock to obey
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill

Buried deep as you can
Dig inside yourself,
And covered with
A perfect shell,
Such a charming
Beautiful exterior.
Laced with a briliant smile
And shining eyes
Perfect posture
But you're barely scraping by
You're barely scraping by
This is one time
That you can't fake
It hard enough to please
Everyone or anyone at all.
And the grave that
You refuse to leave
The refuge that
You've built to flee
The places that
You have come to fear the most.
Buried deep as you can
Dig inside yourself,
And hidden in the public eye.
Such a stellar
Monument to loneliness.
Laced with brilliant smiles
And shining eyes
And perfect makeup
But you're barely scraping by

I said mama, hes crazy and he scares me
But I want him by my side
Though hes wild and hes bad
And sometimes just plain mad
I need him to keep me satisfied
I said papa, dont cry cause its alright
And I see you in some of his ways
Though he might not give me the life that you wanted
Ill love him the rest of my days
Misguided angel hangin over me
Heart like a gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you til Im dead
I said brother, you speak to me of passion
You said never to settle for nothing less
Well, its in the way he walks,
Its in the way he talks
His smile, his anger and his kisses
I said sister, dont you understand?
Hes all I ever wanted in a man
Im tired of sittin around the t.v. every night
Hoping Im finding a mr. right
Misguided angel hangin over me
Heart like a gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a lucifer
Black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you til Im dead
He says baby, dont listen to what they say
There comes a time when you have to break away
He says baby there are things we all cling to all our life
Its time to let them go and become my wife
Misguided angel hangin over me
Heart like a gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a lucifer
Black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you til Im dead

She sits alone by a lamppost
Trying to find a thought thats escaped her mind
She says dads the one I love the most
But stipes not far behind
She never lets me in
Only tell me wheres shes been
When shes had too much to drink
I say that I dont care I just run my hands
Through her dark hair and then I pray to god
You gotta help me fly away
And just...
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.
This morning I woke up alone
Found a note by the phone
Saying maybe, maybe Ill be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didnt know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for
Myself.
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I just
Could not believe
She was the same girl i
Fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to
Get high
I sat down on my couch
And cried
Yelling oh mama please
Help me
Wont you hold my hand.
And
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.

Where the road runs down but the butternut grove
To old bill skinners stream
Do tell at the noonday bell
Its time for a summertime dream
In a lunch pail town in a one horse way
You can live like a king and queen
Lets steal away in the noonday sun
Its time for a summertime dream
Birds in all creation will be twitterin in the trees
And down belows a pond I know
You can swim in it if you please
And if you come round when the mill shuts down
You can see what chivalry means
Lets steal away in the noonday sun
Its time for a summertime dream
On a trip on down to wonderland
In love among the flowers
Where time gets lost with no straw boss
Tallyin up the hours
Where the road runs down by the butternut grove
To old bill skinners stream
Do tell at the noonday bell
Its time for a summertime dream
Birds in all creation will be twitterin in the trees
And down belows a pond I know
You can swim in it if you please
And if you come round when the mill shuts down
You can see what chivalry means
Lets steal away in the noonday sun
Its time for a summertime dream

Go tell it to the mountains that you believe
It's the word of the only commander-in-chief
He's got the whole world in his hands, just say yo
He gotcha by ya balls, swing it low sweet Chariot
I was a sinner, a bad girl, Lord pardon me
I was deaf, dumb and blind, but know I can't see
I'm the Öko-Christ with my guitar
Give it to me Jesus - aha aha
Kumba ya my Lord kumba ya
Kumba ya my Lord kumba ya
Oh Lord kumba ya
Kumba ya my Lord kumba yo
Kumba ya my Lord kumba yo
Can't you feel, whe the faints are marchin' in
You don't know the fucking trouble I've seen
You're the Savior, you're the real big player
And I'm standing here alone in the need of a prayer
Judgement is coming high
I heard a sucker rumbling in the sky
Kumba kumba a kumba yo
Kumba kumba a kumba yo
Kumba ya my Lord kumba ya
Can't you see the judgement is coming
Kumba ya my Lord kumba ya
You all keep the rhythm of the Lord
Kumba ya my Lord kumba ya
Yeah of course life can be summer
Kumba ya my Lord kumba ya
We are the raiders of the last chord
