Freedom Parkway
near the river's edge
covered with song
lost, young
defeated, war-wittled
deciet, coming
begging in the busk
wind, wild waves
that powerful stage
beastly deliverance
from tatters torn
lovers lost
looks not
and guns dropped
I Know You
lowels, river, wind, east, west
best the best
The beheaded god
idle of the city
cratering the comfortable
white-bread needless
orb
That needless orb, O
I know You
sanction, the terrible
discontorted thing
thing!
thing!
thing!
thing!
that wonderful
all-engrossing
thing
I Know You
that wonderful
all-engrossing
trickling light

Wake Up!
01:37
|
|||
lyin' in bed
the hair on your head
eyes sunk back
wake up!
wake up!
Not so blind
you, just can't see
walkin' instead
it's shortly ahead
sign your name
wake up!
wake up!
you just signed
your life away
to me
now we are sending
you overseas
good luck!

Huh?
04:35
|
|||
trees bend to my will
the lawn is dying
flowers fading, still
and she's the only one crying
Huh? / What?
sunny day rainy month
something in this room
weighs a ton
gold, silver, smooth
O, to be with you
Huh? / What?
ailing, waiting
here it comes
sailing, waiting
havin' some fun
Huh? / What?
Who? / When?
Where? / How?
Huh? / What?

Sooo Long
02:45
|
|||
I'm gonna live longer
than the president
didn't see nothin'
he just came and went
once was there, then
no more
what do you think he did that for?
fire and burning coal
say your sorry
I'll throw the bone
you can't be serious
in this day and age
I got the key
You got the cage
seen it comin'
all along
don't want nothing
gone gone gone
I realize that I'm a nasty fellow
don't scrutinize
with the master's cello
pretty thing
with a real big laugh
just like the past
you're a gas, O
seen it comin'
all along
don't want nothin'
so long!
seen it coming, mama
dead and gone
don't want nothin'
so long!

High Flyin'
02:48
|
|||
takin' off and looking out
at the only one left to talk about
smilin' and laughin' and cheering you up
let me know when you've had enough
high flyin'
just dyin'
nothing making any sense
and I'm starting to look like a crooked fence
sighing' and coughing and spreading the news
I've given up on singing the blues
high flyin'
just dyin'
terrible people in a beautiful world
needless to say I'm gonna uncurl
thinking nothing, making the best
when I've had the best I don't want the rest
whose gonna love me when you're gone
whose to know what plane you're even on
killin' something and holding the gun
smoke break's over now run, run, run
high flyin'
just dyin'
oh
high flyig'
just dyin'
insides cryin'
my outsides
they just lyin'
high flying''
just dyin'
high flyin'
just dyin'
oh

I sit alone every
morning comin' I,
coffee brewin' and martha's dyin'
we go walking, lord

got trouble brewin' in
my back yard
all day we sit around
and play our music
sistas saying we got some lovin' but
all I'm saying is we need it coming
we have more in common than anyone else
work is going, so is something
I thought livin' was easy
too much coffee and
I've been alone
all day we sit around
and play our music
hey hey hey
we get coffee and
sit in chairs and I
get uneasy when I'm all alone
safe forever getting higher
people going for another world
all day we sit around
and play our music

Ice
04:12
|

water
I need
water
one lit cigarette
falls to the ground
one chance left
at turning things around
out the window
are only ghosts
as the statute
raises its glass and toasts
to hell
one lit cigarette
falls to the ground
one chance left
at turning things around
don't leave us
its cold here
faces changing the ground
water without any sound
ice
help, I'm stuck
ice,
help, I'm stuck
one lit cigarette
falls to the ground
one chance left
at turning things around
water
I need
water

Snake Charmer Man
03:09
|
|||
She died in his arms
lonely days coming
snake charmer man
they lost their way
fellow needs not
sounds from a can
snake charmer man
heart wrenching
black wearing
snake charmer man
down the road i see a twinkle in the sky
can't know how to take it when
the sand shave lost their time
black bones warm air come
creeping down the line
one more revolution in the youth of the times
heart wrenching
black wearing
snake charmer man
they called to him help
make us understand
I can't do that for you
you've gotta do it yourself
then again, thin is thin
do what you can
don't you know who I am
I'm the snake charmer man
heart wrenching
black wearing
snake charmer man
know this when you doubt
I'm come to your homeland
tell you to all lie down
and roll around in the sand
beaters, cheaters, liars beware
when they come for you
the only thing left is your hair
heart wrenching
black wearing
snake charmer man
guns blazing, air tightening
snake charmer man
gut wrenching, white smearing
snake charmer man
leg burning, world turning
snake charmer man

Ghost
03:38
|

time is not on my side
always lets me down
in the darkness of the night
when i need it the most
fades away like a ghost
it got, it got
like a ghost so pale
drinking summer ales
so soft and white
shinin' bright
it got, it got
what is this specter I'm see in'
or just another strange vein'
lurking down my soul
o, it got, it got
no one should embark
on a journey down there
just give him what he wants
o, it got, it got
like fire and coal
in the darkness
o, that grassy knoll
it got, it got

Bang Bang
02:10
|
|||
So, there I was
sitting with Jean-Micheal and
out of nowhere he just sits up
takes his shirt off and climbs the wall, man
Jesus fucking Christ!
hey, missy wink
come over and let me see
your lovely hair tonight
lets see if you got it
I know I got it right
pray for us
say to us
life, go smoothly
love, go through me
charge me,
with what I got
my rights are altered
but I am not
just sitting in a tree
k i s s i n g
and real time pranksters
storming on the pike
Calder's ceiling
came down in the tike
money, don't use it
faith, don't abuse it
while Porto came crashing down the pavement
wild eyed and asleep
mimicking the things he saw
with no eyes to see
the car was found deep down in the valley
shook the ground, bang!
they all sang, bang bang
they all sang bang bang
they all reared their fangs and said,
pastor brought the news
stamped it on a door right out front
brother saw what he had to
and Jack was already on the hunt
crawled low down in the tide
they were bound, bang!
they all sang, bang bang
they all sang bang bang
they all reared their fangs and said,
hopelessly lost all of us
in the heat of the crash
none of them can ever get out alive
only dead with their cash
stuck here where the wind is wild
they were sad, bang!
they all sang, bang bang
they all sang bang bang
they all reared their fangs and said,
bang bang

This American Life
05:24
|
|||
things happen
godsmack me down
suffering from the blight
of infinite praise
secluding myself from others
bringing me down for no other
American longing
my American dreaming
dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
O, this American life
such waste, lies and taste
O, be careful
this vortex surrounds
on the TV it is
another anchorman fluttering
pillow talk to me and my walls
shuddering on the picture plane
brought up by the ball
from whence the beast came
he is here among us
O, this American life
such waste, lies and taste
be careful my brother
this vortex surrounds
on the tv, implode and explode
my heart is with you
go now without me
ill be here
the anxiety presents itself
in fear
O, don't look back
halt go no further
or a pillar of salt you will become
O, this American life
such waste, lies and taste

We've All Been There
04:53
|
|||
we've been there before
tripping and laughing
we've carried that weight before
loving and happy
so push your troubles away
cause we are here to stay, O
be glad and thank the Lord
you're not a kentucky whore, O
we've tried to do our best
better than all the rest
we've won at nothing before
can't feel the suspense anymore
so push your troubles away
cause we're here to stay, O
be glad and thank the Lord
you're not a wisconsin whore, O
we've all been there before
tripping and laughing
we've carried that weight before
loving and happy

Until Next Time
03:38
|
|||
Goodbye is not the best word
to describe this bitterness
we have,
it's only the end
until next time!
I'm sorry for all the things I did
it doesn't matter, anyhow
it's only the end
until next time!
it's all over, the end is here
I really should have been more clear
it's only the end
until next time!
change matters not
not when it's all I got
it's only the end
until next time!
see you later
when the next world comes around
forgive me later
when we meet again
it's only the end
until next time!
