ALL NIGHT
got all night
plenty of time
take these chains
from my eyes
so alive
getting pride
take her down
before you die
right beside
we've got all night
is he here?
top of the stairs
no place for
the president
build some fears
slip outside
fuck, be content
to just get by
why? be satisfied
we've got all night ?
right besides
we've got... all night
we've got all night
we've got all night
SAD
all the photographs are peeling
the colors turn to gray, the stain
in his room with memories for days, he faced
an undertow of futures laid to waste, embraced
by the loss of one he could not replace
and there's no reason that she'd pass
and there is no god with the plan, it's sad
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he could only love you, it's sad
the door swings through a passing fable
a fate we may delay, we say
holding on, to live within our embrace
he lit a match, he laid in bed
hoping their dreams would bring her back, it's sad
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he could only love you, it's sad
holding his last breath, believing
he'll make his way
but she's not forgotten
he's haunted
he's searching for escape
if just one wish could bring her back, it's sad
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he will always love you, it's sad
DOWN
down, fell by the wayside
no getting out
oh down, cry me a river
dried up and dammed
the names can be changed
but the place is still the same
I am loaded, told that alls for naught
holds me down
rise, life is in motion
I'm stuck in line
oh rise, you can't be neutral
on a moving train
one day the symptoms fade
think I'll throw these pills away
and if hope could grow from dirt like me
it can be done
won't let the light escape from me
won't let the darkness swallow me
yeah!
HITCHHIKER

doing?

ALONE
oh wide awake and he shakes in a panic
never woke up alone ever before
had his woman long as he can remember
tries to forget but he can't he can't
out of bed and he dreams in the shower
she's standing naked and apologizing
reaches for her till his mind becomes blood hot
woken up to be burned burned again
go it alone
you got it so it goes
gonna breathe and I said
I can't take it any other way
on the streets he's walking wounded
doesn't smile for the child at play
thoughts of suicide and alleviation
anything to get his heart off of the coals
does he fly away or just talk about it
like a seagull born to cry in the wind
own experiences lead to a younger
all-alone you will meet the one who lies in wait
go it alone
you got it so it goes
try to breathe while you can
you can't take it any other way
I can help myself don't talk to me
I can help myself don't talk to me
I can help myself myself
I can help myself don't talk to me
I can help myself myself
I can help myself don't talk to me
I can help myself
wide awake and he shakes in a panic
never woke up alone ever before
had his woman long as he can remember
tries to forget but he can't he can't he can't he can't
I can help myself don't talk to me

EDUCATION
I'm questioning my education
is my education more than I got?
while you're deciding, I've been finding
looking around in the here and now
if I can talk from the beginning
would my fears now by where they are?
I'm questioning my own equation
is my own equation relevant somehow?
the flags will wave and the news is breaking
see the man who can't pick out his own tie
if I've been taught from the beginning
would my fears now be winning?
a wild world, figuring out the answers
I'll be in my own dance and I...
I'm questioning my education
rewinding, what does it show?
could be, the truth it becomes you
I'm a seed, wondering why...

GREMMIE OUT OF
CONTROL
every beach has a clown who thinks he knows
it all
and he's always practicing his cowabunga call
but he'll never scramble when the big waves start to roll
cause there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control (2x)
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
the kids always know that gremmie's talk is cheap
oh they just try to ignore this ugly creep
his board is always full of dings
cause he's always doing stupid things
and there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control (2x)
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control (2x)
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control (3x)
WHALE SONG
the sun was in clouds...the sun looked out...
exposed a trail of mist and spouts
ships followed the ancient lead...
deceiving friends under the sea
wow, imagine that? they won't fight back...
I got a theory on that
a whale's heart is as big as a car...
a whaler's thought must be smudged by the dark
they won't fight back...I'm sure they know how...
means they love or are too proud
they won't fight back...I'm sure they know how...
means they love or too proud
they swim. it's really free. it's a beautiful thing to see.
they sing
hunters of land...hunters of sea...
explored anything formally
I refer to anybody that takes advantage of what that is
free
they won't fight back
it's only a thought that makes it seem right...
what you don't see is because of your sight
take what you want...kill what you can...
that's just one way of the mind of man
take their lives...
sell their parts but there is not taking of their hearts
if I was lost at sea...that harpoon boat in front of me...it's
the whale I'd like to be
they won't fight back (5x)
they don't know how
they won't fight back (5x)
UNDONE
last stop on the westcoast line
south of the northern border
one small corner on my mind
everybody, they know me there
don't get any second glances
chances are that they don't care
the world has come undone
like to change it everyday
change don't come at once
it's a wave building before it breaks
can't wait for election day
witness the occupation
corporations rule the day
workin' on the pendulum throws
farther out to the one side, swinging
has to sweep back the other way
the world has come undone
another day and who can wait
change don't come at once
it's a wave building before it breaks
all this hope and nowhere to go
this is how I used to feel, but no more
the world has come undone
like a game few can play
change don't come from one
it's a wave building before it breaks
HOLD ON
I was doom riding on top a black horse
whatever prize there was
I could only observe where the trouble starts
where does it end?
I cannot be cured
before it ends
I know life would be different if I held on (held on)
I know I could be something if I held on
gave her life away
put it in my pocket when it should've been framed
oh, it lost its shine
gotta get this out of my head
? my friend
how could it end?
and like this
how could it end?
I know life would be different had I held on (held on)
I know I could be something had I held on (held on)
I know I could be something if I held on (held on)
I know life would be different if I held on (held on)
held on
held on, if I held on
held on, if I held on
held on, if I held on
held on
YELLOW LEDBETTER
unsealed on a porch a letter sat

FATAL
how good is he?
how warm are his eyes
you'll see it's not a reprise
there he arrived
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
I wake up and wait up
it echoes through the mansions
I wake up and wait up
when april's in may, oh uh oh
I wake up and wait up
the answers are fatal
the answers are fatal
when I wait up and wake up
the answers are fatal
if he's truly out of sight
is he truly out of mind?
if he's truly out of sight..
OTHER SIDE
it's not the same without you up here
can't find my wheels
your absence is what breeds this fear
warm breath and all it steals
you can't know how it feels to be in here
all the dark horse fields, befriendin' me
playin' ain't the same without you here
we've come to hate the golden rule
cannot seem to make the dots connect
the morning light don't show you near
you can't know what it's like to bleed from here
the blackened world goes white, it goes nowhere
death ain't the same without you, dear
I make the others run and hide
New York streets seem to make it worse
all this noise inside the quiet
I can't hold on, the weight you bear
my body's broken fast, please lift me up
you can't know what it's like to be inside
your fading melodies can't beat my need
I’m not the same without you here
how can I quit to be there
sit and stare
stare..
begging for a prayer
HARD TO IMAGINE
paint a picture, forty shades of gray
light your pillow, lay back, watch the flames
I’ll tell a story, no one would listen that long
it's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine...
fuck tradition, no one's safe from harm
wait a little, cup and curse these arms
after having seen all that they saw
it's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine...
things were different then, all is different now
I tried to explain, some how...
things were different then, all is different now
I tried to explain, some how...
things were different then, all is different now
I tried to explain, I hope this works somehow...
things were different then, all is different now
I tried to explain, oh, somehow...
ooh...oh...oh...
FOOTSTEPS
don't even think about reachin' me I won't
be home
don't even think about stoppin' by don't think of me at
all
I did a what I had to do if there was a reason it was you
don't even think about gettin' inside
voices in my head ooh voices
I got scratches all over my arms
one for each day since I fell apart
I did oh what I had to do if there was a reason it was you
footsteps in the hall it was you you oh
pictures on my chest it was you it was you
hey I did a what I had to do oh and if there was a reason
oh there wasn't no reason no
and if there's something you'd like to do
oh just let me continue to blame you
a footsteps in the hall it was you you oh
pictures on my chest it was you you oh
WASH
oh please let it rain today
this city is 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
it's on the inside and I can't get it off, yeah
wash my love
wash my love
wash my love, yeah
what's clean is pure but hey
I’m white on the outside...though I stray
what she don't know today might kill us both tomorrow

bring it back, bring it back
back to...to the clean form
to the pure form
wash my love
DEAD MAN
sailing on my every step inching off of the
earth
is magnified by the things I’ve done
the thing that I’ve become
every lift of my hand coffee cup up and back
is magnified by the things I’ve done
the things I've seen the things I’ve caused
I’m a dead man walking
the hammer that I once brung down now hovers over me
cast a shadow across onto me
the hallways are all mocking me
what I've become they're all mocking me
I’m a dead man walking a dead man walking
a dead man walking
I’m a dead man walking dead man walking
dead man walking
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...
it's 6:00 AM...you're waiting for...
you've had your feast...you're wanting more
follow the wayward mile
follow the distant high
follow the strangest tribe
I... I... I...
follow the ancient stripe
follow the angels try
follow the strangest tribe
I... I... I...
DRIFTING
drifting, drifting, drifting away
I got myself a mansion, then I gave it away
it's not the world that's heavy, it's just the things that
you save
and I’m drifting, drifting away
drifting, drifting, drifting along
I rid myself of worries, and the worries were gone
I only run when I want to and I sleep like a dog
I’m just drifting, drifting along
the suitcoats say, "there is money to be made"
they get so damn excited, but I guess it's their way
my road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
it's good for drifting, drifting away
all the suitcoats say, "there is money to be made"
they get so damn excited, nothing get's in their way
my road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
it's good for drifting, drifting away
drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh
I feel like going back there, but never for long
I sometimes wonder if they know that I’m gone
I’m just drifting, drifting along
drifting, drifting along...drifting, drifting along
Merry Christmas...
LET ME SLEEP
cold wind blows on the soles of my feet
heaven knows nothing of me
I’m lost, nowhere to go
oh when I was a kid, oh how magic it seemed
oh please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
flowered winds was where I lived
thought you burned, not froze for your sins
oh I’m so tired and cold
oh when I was a kid, oh how magic it seemed
oh please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
oh, oh when I was a kid, oh how magic it seemed
oh please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
oh, oh when I...if I was a kid, oh how magic it seemed

LAST KISS [ver
tradução]
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 straight up there
a car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I’ll never forget the sound that night
the screaming tires, the busting glass
the painful scream that I heard last
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
when I woke up the rain was pouring down
there were people standing all around
something warm flowing through my eyes
but somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head she looked at me and said
hold me darling just a little while
I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I had missed
well now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life, that night
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
