The world is burning down
Can’t you smell the smoke in the air?
War, disease and famine
This demon, she is everywhere
Poets and preachers and politicians
They’ve all had their say
And we’ve got 10,000 years
Devoted to nothing
But tommorow and yesterday
If all of the ignorance in the world
Passed a second ago
What would you say?
Who would you obey?
I am here to say that
Peace is now
Mr. president?
I hereby pardon you of all your crimes
For they are just as much mine
Selfishness and seperation have led me
To believe that the world is not my problem
The world is not my problem
I am the world
And you are the world
Peace is now
this is not helping me at all
what you are doing here
in the name of god and love
it’s the distribution of fear
pyramids healing wires analysts with fame
I haven’t got your degree
and I forgot your name
pick me up and put me on the ground
set me up and spin me all around
no you are not the one I wish to see
this is not helping me at all
where did we get this plan?
that you could give to me
what I might already have
pyramids, healing wires, a musician’s fame
I volunteered you my eyes
in place of facing me
oh hitler, in a robe of truth
my emptiness has built your altar
and I’ve worshipped myself in you forever
until now!
naked lovers feel the blood beneath their
veins
electric nerves communicate
with tiny explosions through our brains
who is this energy that never left or
came?
give rise to passion the only glory
of this human story
I give my heart and soul to the one
we spend all of our lives goin’ out of our
minds
looking back to our birth forward to our
demise
even scientists say everything is just
light
not created, destroyed but eternally
bright
masters in everytime lord in everyplace
those who stood up for love down in spite
of the hate
in spite of the hate
who put the flower in the barrel of that
gun?
who lit the candle that started the fire,
burnt down the fortress, the throne?
who could house all the refugees in a
single shack
or a lowly bungalow?
who lives in a different dimension, free
from the
struggles we know?
I give my heart and soul to the one
we spend all of our lives goin’ out of our
minds
looking back to our birth, forward to our
demise
even scientists say, everything is just
light
not created, destroyed but eternally
bright
masters in everytime lord in everyplace
those who stood up for love down in spite
of the hate
we spend all of our lives goin’ out of our
minds
they live in the light
we made it to the moon
but we can’t make it home
waitin’ on a rescue that never comes
made it to the moon
but we can’t make it home
maybe home is where the heart is given
up
to the one
to the one
we spend all of our lives goin’ out of our
minds
lookin’ back to our birth, forward to our
demise
we spend all of our lives goin’ out of our
minds
they live, they
they stood up for love
stood up for love
stood up for love
they stood up for love
stood up for love
stood up for love
we spend all of our lives goin’ out of our
minds
masters in everytime
we spend all of our lives goin’ out of our
minds
stood up for love
It came without warning
A love like I ain’t ever felt before
She’s like my destiny calling
And she’s lying there all naked on the floor
And suddenly, out of the blue she’s singin
Oh, baby, let my lovin’ ease your pain
Bring your burnin’ skin to my river once again
I’ll give you life
Oh, baby, let my lovin’ ease your pain tonight
She came without warning
Like an angel come from Heaven in the night
Her kiss makes me tremble
So she pulls me close and she holds me oh so tight
Then suddenly, out of the blue she starts singin
Oh, baby, let my lovin’ ease your pain
Bring your burnin’ skin to my river once again
I’ll give you life
Oh, baby, let my lovin’ ease your pain
I’ll give you life
Oh, baby, let my lovin’ ease your pain
Bring your burnin’ skin to my river once again
I’ll give you life
Oh, baby, let my lovin’ ease your pain, yeah
Bring your burnin’ skin to my river
In the east they can meditate
They can recreate the sound of all and bring us home
I think I’ll go there some day
Maybe for a holiday
Maybe just light a candle, take a seat for the ride
And you don’t need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of
All)
And you don’t need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of
All)
In the west we think we’re the best
We’ve shown the whole wide world that money is all we care for
Someday the scientists will see there’s no such thing as gravity
They’ll all just light a candle, take a seat for the ride
And you don’t need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of
All)
And you don’t need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of
All)
As you ascend in silence, all doubt behind you
You reach the summit my friend and find your destiny
And you don’t need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of
All)
And you don’t need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of
All)
And you don’t need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of
All)
And you don’t need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of
All)
To truly ride away
Optimism,
Optimism perished from the face of my earth
And then you came along, came along and swept me away,
She kissed me, as we stood on the edge,
The night made the day as we made for the bridge
It started raining hard, and I saw we may live to regret
No I never really understood
No I never really understood why,
Because I’ve never been given,
Never been given two tries,
No I never really understood,
Understood why…
Pessimism,
Pessimism perished from the face of my earth,
And then you came along, came along and swept me away,
Did you miss me? did you miss me as we walked
Through the pain, attached the chain so you could
See me again
I started asking myself, did I teach you right?
No I never really understood
No I never really understood why,
Because I’ve never been given,
Never been given two tries,
No I never really understood,
Understood why…
Understood why…
You came to me, you broke the bonds,
You set me free
And then the love that you promised me
Came a tumblin’ tumblin’ tumblin’ down
Into my hands…
No I never really understood
No I never really understood why,
Because I’ve never been given,
Never been given two tries,
No I never really understood,
Understood why…
So teacher teach me…
The way you’re bathed in light
Reminds me of that night
God layed me down into your rose
Garden of trust
And I was swept away
With nothing left to say
Some helpless fool yet I was lost
In a swoon of peace
You’re all I need to find.
So when the time is right.
Come to me sweetly, come to me.
Come to me.
Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It’s in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Oh yeah we’ll meet again,
It’s like we never left
Time in between was just a dream
Did we leave this place?
This crazy fog surrounds me
You wrap your legs around me
All i can do to try and breathe
Let me breath
So that I
So we can go together
Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It’s in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Life is like a shooting star
It don’t matter who you are
If you only run for cover, it’s just a waste of time
We are lost ’till we are found
This phoenix rises up from the ground
And all these wars are over
Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It’s in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Life is like a shooting star
It don’t matter who you are
If you only run for cover, it’s just a waste of time
We are lost ’till we are found
This phoenix rises up from the ground
And all these wars are over, over, over, over
Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It’s in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us
let him come into the city
let him find his lucky penny
let him put it in his pocket and shake it all around
I’ve been to pretty buildings, all in search of you
I have lit all the candles, sat in all the pews
the desert had been done before, but I didn’t even care
I got sand in both my shoes and scorpions in my hair
I saw that…
oh the distance is not do-able
in these bodies of clay my brother
oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable
guess it’s natural to feel this way
oh, let’s hold out for somethin’ sweeter
spread your wings and fly
my car became the church and I
the worshipper of silence there
in a moment peace came over me
and the one who was beatin’ my heart appeared and….
oh the distance is not do-able
in these bodies of clay my brother
oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable
guess it’s natural to feel this way
oh, are we locked into these bodies?
let’s hold out for somethin’ sweeter
spread your wings and fly
oh, are we locked into these bodies?
are we anything at all?
let’s hold out for somethin’ sweeter
spread your wings and fly
this distance is dreamin’
we’re already there tonight
when all that’s left to do
is reflect on what’s been done
this is where sadness breaths
the sadness of everyone
just like when the guys built the
dam at otter creek and all the
water backed up
deep enough to dive
we took the dead man in sheets
to the river flanked by love
deep enough to dive
deep enough to dive
be here now
we took him there and three
in a stretcher made from trees
that had passed in the storm
leave the hearse behind
to leave the curse
be here now
If I dtold you he was your brother
We could reminisce
Then you would go about your day
If I said you ought togive him
Some of your water
You’d shake your canteen and walk away
The perception taht divides you from him
Is a lie
For some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can’t afford to believe in your side
CHORUS
This is not a black and white world
To be alive
I say that the colors must swirl
And I believe
That maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
The beauty of gray
If I told you that she was your mother
We could analyze the situation and be gone
If I said you ought to give her
Some of your water
Your eyes would light up like the dwawn
The preception taht divides you from her
Is a lie
For some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can’t afford to believe in your side
CHORUS

I hope (I hope) she lights that candle I hope (I hope) she shows me everything and all that light can bring Like a mad temple crowd Her skin (her skin), it begs my worship I crush her, she goes down We melt up from the ground? Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now, yeah Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now You’re a cloud, just a blemish on the sun Doubt (doubt), get right behind me And there’s better times to come Our love, this cloak and dagger This silent will to brighten everything And find the road that leads? Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now Become the dove, just fly away? oh Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now, yeah, Oh, and if we die tonight, take our leave from this plastic place Come on baby up to your better times Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now Your sweet release, take me now, take me now, oh Oohh oooh Oh.
It’s hard to bleed a man
Hard to bleed a man
When you know where he’s falling to
Hard to bleed a wall
Hard to bleed a wall
When the bricks and the sand are you
And although we were very thirsty
I question the oasis
And although we were very lonely
I question the woman’s love
Question the Gods above
Hard to bake the bread
Hard to bake the bread
When you’re standing outside of the kitchen
Hard to join the dance
Hard to join the danceWhen you know the song is poisoning everyone
When you know the song is poisoning everyone
When you know where he’s falling
Question…
Yeah, you know where he’s falling
Question…
The woman’s love, the Gods above.
Built a king on compliments
Charisma, and advertisements
Still they see him shimmering ephemeral
If it ain’t supernatural
If it ain’t supernatural
Supernatural, or maybe
It was an out of body experience
Yes I flew around
A hospital room once
On intreveneous demerol
You weren’t supernatural
Supernatural, or maybe
A sudden smell
A certain view
Sparked a whoppin’ case
Of the deja vu
Is it inexplicable?
No,no,no it ain’t
Supernatural
Supernatural, or maybe
let the world be the world
let the dream unfurl
let it run its own game
let it dance with itself
I didn’t put it here
gonna let it ride
gotta master crazy on the other side
wakin’ me up
I ain’t got no brains
I can’t trust my eyes
what good’s a beautiful day
if you can’t see the light?
I can’t find my fate
well then I must be blind
with the force and fire of love
that’s takin over my mind
wakin’ me up
obligin’ me to the sun
obligin’ me to the sun
sun sun merciful one
sun sun
sun sun won’t you lay down your light on us
sun sun
let the world be the world
let the girl be the girl
let her beauty move ya
let her dance be your guide
let your hunger grow
but don’t eat the fruit “too low”
keep climbin’ for the kisses on the other
side
wakin’ me up obligin’ me to the sun
obligin’ me to the sun
sun sun merciful one
sun sun
sun sun won’t you lay down your light on
us
sun sun
all we need is to come into the sun
we’ve been out in the dark for so long
all I need, all we need, all I need, all we
need! yeah!
I wanna feel
I wanna try
I wanna rock in the city tonight
I wanna deal
don’t wanna die
I wanna bring my captain hook into the light
people I’ve seen my day
ranting and raving this beauty away
we are by and large the same
but words are too feeble they cannot contain
he was a “rock and roll messiah”
she was known for her child care
the truth is gonna give up the world
if you can give up the stage
if I can give up the stage
if we can give up the stage
come to this, I can’t come to you
don’t do this, wake me up tonight
come to this, I can’t come to you
don’t do this, wake me up tonight
(p.s. do not drive and swear!)
I’m gatherin’ up my friends today
and those who recognize the face
as the vision that changed my mind
from hate to faith
was as simple as grapes to wine and
sweet as
I’m gatherin’ up my friends today
all these hookers and soldiers and swine
and would be saints
all alone in their rooms that sparkle in
their eye
play a song that they’ll come outside
to see if
love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to wipe our tears away
the day that I was so sweetly sung
by the wind and the thunder moved by
“someone”
the feelin’ of being lived was so strong
the giver became the gift, all one
the day that I was so sweetly sung
the wind seemed to whisper softly, “oh
son,
don’t wait for the seas to part or
messiahs to come
don’t sit around and waste this chance, to
see it!”
love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to take our fear away
LOVE
LOVE
LOVE
LOVE, hey, yeah
love, this day now, this day that I was so
sweetly sung, I know, I know that
love will overcome
love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to take our fear away, wipe our tears
away
love!
and all my friends are here
in the city I sing my song
in the face of the hooker, the soldier, the
swine
I found it, I found it, I found love!!!!!
love will, love will, love will,
overcome
overcome
Diamonds and pearls don’t move this girl
She can be icy cold to the crawl
One of her lungs breathes in another world
While the other sticks around to blow you off
Even when the four winds blow
She kinda passes by like she don’t feel it
No, momma, she don’t feel it
One of these days I’m gonna dive into her waves
And bring back the meaning of it all
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin’ down on me like rain
They say in ancient times, man, that women ruled the world
But the goddess was the one who laid it down
Well, I gots a woman as alive as the day
Gonna breathe a whisper, knock you right down to the ground
So go ahead man and say what you came to say
The black widow’s a spider
The black widow’s a spider
Then go and prepare for your dyin’ day
Won’t take one minute till you’re curled up dead beside her
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin’ down on me like rain
On me like rain
Fall down
Fall down
Fall down
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin’ down on me like rain
Sofia, I need ya
Like a freeloader needs his train
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin’ down on me like rain
Sofia, rain down on me
And I ain’t ever
I’ll never be the same, baby
I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin’ down on me like rain
See me walking aimlessly about,
Don’t know whether to whisper or to shout,
I could be wrong, I could be very, very right.
Here I stand, innocence in my room
She’s naked in my bed, wild thoughts inside my head
Oh no! she’s my…
Sister, with her, don’t let your heart
Break too soon.
Maybe, baby, come on sister,
Lady you’re my breath!
I could have been to you tonight
What I’ve wanted to be all my life
The day is gone now I can see.
I can’t sustain your love
I can’t complain your love
I can’t explain your love
Oh no! she’s my…
Sister, with her, don’t let your heart
Break too soon
Maybe, baby, come on sister,
Lady you’re my breath!
Sister yeah…
She’s my sister…

Bring back that ‘hair-down’, unguarded mystery I liked it better when your tightrope walked on me Board up my window, prepare for a hurricane You give me all-new games to play You have a way of breaking through my barricade You set me soul free She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you She set my soul free Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold Was my intention to take control again? Release some pressure so that I can turn and see Somehow you got me on the ropes of my own plan Spirit manifests as ‘She’ To turn up the volume and make you dance for me Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold You set me soul free (you set my soul free) She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you She set my soul free (she set my soul free) I can see but I can’t feel Like a flower Oh yeah I never knew, I never knew she could And nothing that you do could ever make me run, run away from you She set my soul free Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold She set my soul free (she set my soul free) She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you
and to love: a god
and to fear: a flame
and to burn a crowd that a name
and to right or wrong
and to meek or strong
it is known just scream it from the wall
i’ve willed I’ve walked I’ve read
I’ve talked I know I know
I’ve been here before
hey now we won’t be raped
hey now we won’t be scarred like that
it’s the sun that burns
it’s the wheel that turns
it’s the way we sing that makes ‘em dream
and to christ: a cross
and to me: a chair
I will sit and earn the ransom
from up here
If I talk too soft, they
Think I’m preaching if I talk too slow, they think I care.
If I walk too fast, then I’ve got purpose here.
Can’t you see, see through the prayer?
It’s got you now, so I will play
It’s got you now, so I will play, play,
Saviour for a day
If you go too far, I’m not reaching.
Don’t care who you are, try and see.
I am here like there is sky and there is air
Won’t you see, see through the prayer
It’s got you now, so I will play
It’s got you now, so I will play, play,
Saviour for a day
Paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa
Ride a Harley through the heart of danger
Pick up a pen and fight a war for the right to dream
I was seventeen
Give up my house
sleep for nights on concrete
Meditate with all the bums on Vine Street
No more running, no more hiding in the house of the dead
I think I’ll grow some dreads
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
I dream of loving, of the empty graveyard
I dream of Vegas and the transcendental wildcard
A place where noone waits to die before they go into the light
And just the blind have sight
I follow nothing but the compass of my instinct
No matter where it leads
I know it will take me to the brink
And leave me there by myself and all alone with my dreams
Can you hear my scream?
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society
will never dream like me
will never dream like me
Society
will never dream like me
will never dream like me
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society
will never dream like me
Ooh-Ooh-Ooh
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society
will never dream like me
will never dream like me
Society
Society
will never dream like me
Society
Society
Society
will never dream like me
oh desert speak to my heart
oh woman of the earth
maker of children who weep for love
maker of this birth
’til your deepest secrets are known to me
I will not be moved
I will not be moved
“don’t try to find the answer
when there ain’t no question here
brother let your heart be wounded
and give no mercy to your fear”
adam and eve live down the street from
me
babylon is every town
it’s as crazy as it’s ever been
love’s a stranger all around
in a moment we lost our minds here
and lay our spirit down
today we lived a thousand years
all we have is now
run to the water
and find me there
burnt to the core but not broken
we’ll cut through the madness
of these streets below the moon
these streets below the moon
and I will never leave you
’til we can say, “this world was just a
dream
we were sleepin’ now we are awake”
’til we can say
in a moment we lost our minds here
and dreamt the world was round
a million mile fall from grace
thank god we missed the ground
run to the water
and find me there
burnt to the core but not broken
we’ll cut through the madness
of these streets below the moon
with a nuclear fire of love in our hearts
yeah, I can see it now lord
out beyond all the breakin’ of waves
and the tribulation
it’s a place and the home of ascended
souls
who swam out there in love!
run to the water
and find me there
burnt to the core but not broken
we’ll cut through the madness
of these streets below the moon
with a nuclear fire of love in our hearts
rest easy baby, rest easy
and recognize it all as light and rainbows
smashed to smithereens and be happy
run to the water (and find me there)
run to the water
“Looks like I’ve lost my will to carry on, my friend” she said
And you can hear it in my whispered cries for love
I need your blissful touch to carry me away again
So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just…
Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory, but I don’t care, I don’t care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don’t care, I don’t care if its wrong or right
“Looks like I’ve lost my will to carry on, my friend” she said
I’m like a posse that’s been ridin’ for days
I’ve got the scars to prove that love has had its day and it’s way with me
So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just…
Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don’t care, I don’t care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don’t care, I don’t care if its wrong or right
This ain’t no night to be on your own
You’ve got to know where you’re coming from
To know just where you’re goin’, lord
You’ve got to know where you’re coming from
This ain’t no night to be on your own
Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don’t care, I don’t care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don’t care
I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care
Run away
Run away
Run away
And from a tiny river town you came With mamma’s rock-star dreams in tow, and daddy’s brains But the rats they fought you oh yeah tooth and nail With the way they rigged this game, you had to fail But that’s all behind you now, boy And from a tiny river town you came With nothing up your sleeve but a dirty forearm and an ace You were the soldier without a kill They drug you through that slaughterhouse at will You were the soldier without a kill Oh, who’s gonna save your soul? Who’s gonna make your heart beat again? And from a tiny river town you came Across the Rocky Mountains all in search of better days But paradise took you out and left the bill You were the healer without the thrill You were the ecstasy without the pill Oh, who’s gonna save your soul? Who’s gonna make your heart beat again? Who’s gonna light up your dark? Who’s gonna save your soul? Who’s gonna be there? Who’s gonna light up your dark? With mamma’s rock-star dreams in tow and daddy’s brains And from a tiny river town you came You’d better turn back before the frost sets in These desert nights are for weathered men The ones who’ve already given in Who’s gonna save your soul? Who’s gonna make your heart beat again? Oh, who’s gonna save your soul? Now that you’ve given in Now that you’ve given in Now that you’ve given in
let’s go hang out in a mall or a morgue
a smorgasboard
let’s go hang out in a church
we’ll go find lurch
then we’ll haul ass down through the abbey
is it money is it fame
what’s in a name shame?
or were they always this lame?
it’s a crazy crazy mixed up town
but it’s the rattlesnake I fear
in another place in another time
I’d be drivin’ trucks my dear
I’d be skinnin’ hunted deer
deer
let’s go hang out in a bar
it’s not too far
we’ll take my car
we’ll lay flowers at the grave of jesco white
the sinner’s saint
the rack is full and so are we
of laughing gas and ennui
Let’s gather round the supper table,
And tell the boy he’s just as able
To die with his boots untied
Evening’s come, let’s settle down
And sing one more song without a frown
Sing for, sing for our voices
And more, sing for our choices,
Just don’t lie, lie, lie, lie, lie…
Love must stand when raising a man… raising a man…
To teach him direction and the best that he can
And lesson one, you will run,
Sink into your chair with fright
A baby boy is born today
Where comes he from, where will he play?
Will he run or will he stand?
Now I lay him down to sleep
A state of mind, his soul will keep.
I give him words, words to say
That he might love, love everyday
Just don’t lie, lie, lie, lie, lie…
Love must stand when raising a man
To teach him direction and the best that he can
And lesson one, you will run,
Sink into your chair with fright
But the night, the night night night, the night’s all right…
Let’s gather round the supper table,

Live: Klip
warm bodies I sense
are not machines that can only make money
past perfect tense
words for a feeling and all I’ve discovered
I’ll be along son
with medicine supposed to designed to
make you high
I’ll be along son
with words for a feeling and all I’ve discovered
old bad eyes
old bad eyes
old bad eyes
on loneliness comes
go see the foreman go see the profiteer
on loneliness drives
we’re takin’ our time movin’ shit for
this holy slime
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes, almighty fear
the shepherd won’t leave me alone
he’s in my face and I
the shepherd of my days
and I want you here by my heart
and my head, I can’t start till I’m dead
In a dream I had
You were standing all alone
With a dying world below
And a microphone
Singing hallelujah
I finally broke their mold
Whatever it’s gonna take, good luck, keep it real
Where the boys of Live, they’re pissing in the mainstream
Open up your cage
Focus all your rage
The world needs people like you
In a dream I had
I was on the stage with queen,
Michael Stipe and Elton John,
Bono, Springsteen
Singing hallelujah
Rock ‘n roll is king (heeeeeyyyy)
Whatever it’s gonna take, good luck, keep it real
Where the boys of Live, they’re pissing in the mainstream
Open up your cage
Focus all your rage
The world needs people like you
Whatever it’s gonna take, good luck, keep it real
Where the boys of Live, they’re pissing in the mainstream
Open up your cage
Focus all your rage
The world needs people like you
The world needs people like you
People like you
Motherfuckers like you
People like you
In a dream I had
You were standing all alone
With a dying world below
Signing hallelujah
I finally broke their mold
Whatever it’s gonna take, good luck, keep it real
Where the boys of Live, they’re pissing in the mainstream
Open up your cage
Focus all your rage
The world needs people like you
Whatever it’s gonna take, good luck, keep it real
Where the boys of Live, they’re pissing in the mainstream
Open up your cage
Focus all your rage
The world needs people like you
The world needs people like you
People like you
Boilers like you
Lovers like you
In a dream I had
With a dying world below
Signing hallelujah
You seem like a girl who likes to tell her bed is made
You seem like a girl who likes to wear her pearls
Well I’m not the type who likes to dwell,
Save my money or kiss and tell, yeah
Oh why does she water them, paper flowers?
This girl walks up so graciously,
Slips something in my pocket so secretly,
I said: “honey, what’s this you gave to me? ”
“oh nothing, water, wait and see”
I said: “paper flowers, they can’t grow!”
“just give’em water and let me know,
Give’em water and let me know, give’em water
And let me know”
Oh why does she water them, paper flowers?
Paper flowers…
Oh why does she water them, paper flowers?
Paper flowers…
She’s dressed in black as you can see,
She tries so damn hard to be the enemy,
She’s got big black boots, get outta her way,
She wants to kick tomorrow, punch yesterday,
Kick tomorrow, punch yesterday
Oh why does she water them, paper flowers?
Paper flowers…
Turn a light on, turn a different light on
Turn a light on, turn a different light on now
Turn a light on, turn a different light on
Turn a light on, turn a different light on now!
Oh why does she water them, paper flowers?
Paper flowers…
I have never taken life
Yet I have often paid the price
And you you are a victim of this age
And the guilt that hangs around your neck
Has got me locked up in a cage
You’ve got to learn to live until no end
But first you must learn to swim
All over again (oh no)
Because…
Pain lies on the riverside
And pain will never say goodbye (oh no)
Pain lies on the riverside
So put your feet in the water
Put your head in the water
Put your soul in the water
And join me for a swim tonight
I have forever, always tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized
I am aware now that the river’s banks are dry
And to wait for a flood
Is to wait for life
I’ve got to learn to live until no end
But first I must learn to swim
All over again (yeah yeah yeah)
Because…
Pain lies on the riverside
And pain will never say goodbye (oh no)
Pain lies on the riverside
So put your feet in the water
Put your head in the water
Come on, put your soul in the water
Join me for a swim tonight
For a swim tonight (oh my love)
I’ve got to learn to live until no end
But I’ve got to learn to swim
All over, all over
All over again (yeah yeah yeah)
Because…
Pain lies on the riverside (ohoho nanah nanah)
Pain will never say goodbye (oh no)
Pain lies on the riverside
So put your feet in the water
Put your head in the water now
Come on, put your soul in the water
Join me for a swim tonight (yeah)
For a swim tonight
Got to swim
All over, all over, all over
All over again
Got to live
All over, all over, all over
All over again
Even now
The world is bleeding
But feeling just fine
All num in a castle
Where we’re always free to choose
Never free enough to find
I wish something would break
’cause we’re running out of time
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome
Holy water in my lungs
I am overcome
These women in the street
Pulling out their hair
My master’s in the yard
Giving light to the unaware
This plastic little place
Is just a step amongst the stairs
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome
So drive me out, yeah
Out to that open field
Turn the ignition off
And spin around
Your help is here
But I’m parked in the open space
But locking the gates of love
I am overcome
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, oh lord
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs
Holy water, holy water
I am overcome
Beautiful drowning
This beautiful drowning
This holy water
This holy water, is in my lungs
And I am overcome
I am overcome, yeah
Heh, i, heh, i, heh, I am overcome
I am overcome lord

Did you give it up?
Heard a lot of talk about the ocean
Heard a lot of talk about the sea
Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things
Never meant that much to me
Heard a lot of talk about my spirit
Heard a lot of talk about my soul
But I decided that anxiety and pain
Were better friends, so I let it go
Did you let it go?
Let’s get it back
Let’s get it back together
Heard a lot of talk about this jesus
A man of love, a man of strength
But what a man was 2000 years ago
Means nothing at all to me today
He could have been telling me about my higher self
But he only lives inside my prayer
So what he was may have been beautiful
But the pain is right now and right here
Let it go!
Let it go!
Let it go, my friend
And let’s get it back
Let’s get it back together
Did you give it up?
I am not ok with this tv in my face and liar
After liar with nothin’ bout nothin’ higher

World and all the boys and girls are singinSave me, save me from the one who only
Rapes me
Take away my tv don’t want your fuckinRecipe it’s all decay decay decay not
Today today today take away my tv don’t
Want your fuckin’ therapy it’s all decay
Decay decay not today, not today
It’s our world and I’m on fire with anger
And desire not the kind that they feed to
Me with their emptiness and greed greed
Greed
I don’t give a fuck what you say about me
Everything you are is just a tool to me so
Just set up the mic and let me do my thing
In the consciousness of each and every
Sentient being rainin’ down like a
Thunderstorm into your mind maybe not
The first, the second, or even the third
Time but eventually, you won’t be able to
Put me down you’ll be havin’ me with
Breakfast in your coffee grounds
I was on a street with a common name i
Prayed for love yeah I even begged I had
A vision of you that carried me through
I was on a street with a common name i
Prayed for love yeah I even begged I had
A vision of you that carried me through
And nobody really knows what I would do
For you nobody really knows how much i
Love you nobody really knows, nobody
Knows nobody knows, nobody knows
I cleared my mind and I turned around
Grateful to the one who had laid me down
I was silent in love pourin down from
Above
Like so much rain it fell and pierced my
Brains the trees all alive with their colors
Like the dreams of man I had a vision of
You that carried me through
And nobody really knows what I would do
For you now nobody really knows how
Much I love you baby nobody really
Knows, nobody knows nobody knows,
Nobody knows
I was on a street with a common name i
Prayed for love yeah I even begged I had
A vision of you that carried me through
I was on a street with a common name i
Prayed for love yeah I even begged I had
A vision of you that carried me through
And nobody really knows what I would do
For you nobody really knows how much i
Love you nobody really knows, nobody
Knows nobody knows, nobody knows
I cleared my mind and I turned around
Grateful to the one who had laid me down
I was silent in love pourin down from
Above
Like so much rain it fell and pierced my
Brains the trees all alive with their colors
Like the dreams of man I had a vision of
You that carried me through
And nobody really knows what I would do
For you now nobody really knows how
Much I love you baby nobody really

Tonight the road has no end
And you are my only friend
Oh, so I give you my love
It’s all that I have to give
Oh, I give you my love
I give you my love
Tonight the answer is clear
We are so far and so near
Oh, so I give you my love
It’s all that I have to give
Oh, I give you my love
And the life I have left to live
Oh, I give you my love
It’s all that I have to give
Oh, I give you my love

Like a diamond
She never stops shinin’
She’s always alive
And she’s walking with me
Tonight we stand as one heart
One mind, nothing left behind
Oh, so I give you my love

Yeah, I give it
Oh, yeah, I give you my love
I give you my love
I give you my love
Never used to be so tired
Never used to be so anxious
Never said “used to be” so much
If this is love then I
have been so sorely mistaken
If this is peace then I
have been so falsely awakened
Please don’t tell me what love is
Let’s look together
and find out what love is not
I’ve been to every book
I’ve been to every seer
in order to find the truth
as if it lives somewhere
I want to uproot my violence
I want to live like a saint
I want to give up everything
Just like the businessman wants to gain
Just like the businessman wants to gain
My ammunition won’t load into my gun
My inhibitions, they fall like the weight from a stone
You lead my heart away like a homeless, dusted fool
Somehow this dime store ring still shines like a diamond to you
Oh, how it deepens
Oh, how it deepens
Your mystery
Keeps on turnin’ me on
Your mystery
Thought I knew the rules, thought I held it in my hand
Thought I was bulletproof till the blood pooled up in the sand
Are you a satellite, a shooting star or a dove?
Did we put you way up there o
