Away
03:50

Go away you can't just go away
i seem to need you here to absolve my fear
fade away i can't let you fade away
but i can't cope anymore it's hard to ignore
I'm on my knees and i can't breathe today
Tried to play but something died anyway
now it's shriveled and gone
it was leavin' all along
cried today but i knew why today
a rusty blade cuts the chaff
you had the last laugh
I'm on my knees and i can't breathe today
Every time i feel okay
you just shout and shake your finger
every time i feel okay
you've been beatin' on my heart
you never miss your mark
bangin' me around like a captive in the dark
I can't go on like it's any other day
Stowed away i got so far away
but still i run back to you it's the easy thing to do
night and day i really really tried to pray
now i'm bloody and confused
perhaps you've heard the news
Been on my knees
i still can't breathe
i'm back to say i can't stay away

Hold your hand
04:35

And god made good boys
and we make evil men
bottom feeders in this sea of sin
revelations cannot soothe me
not the way you do
I will never drive that fast again
tell me i can hold your hand again
And god made good girls
but we don't let them fly
we pull their wings off and drag them from the sky
justification is perpetuation
but everything must die
I will never drive that fast again
tell me i can hold your hand again
If this is christmas where is jesus christ
we only seek him when we know we're right
merry christmas
all that fruitcake blocks the holy light
I will never drive that fast again
tell me i can hold your hand again
I will never be that man again
tell me i can hold your hand again

Them
03:51

If you told me the world would fall apart
and all the countries pieces that get swept up and thrown out
the weary rubbish gets dumped in a dented ashcan
slammed on the ground and kicked around until it understands
If I see clear with bleary eyes can i focus on my past surprise
a tinted lens subverts my mind with candy coated lies…and you see them
Thru all you watch and want to be
thru deafening noise so quietly
you want the lens to focus now so you can see them
thru all you watch and want to be
thru deafening noise so quietly
put your wits in focus now so you can see them
Barren logic led us thru the door
dragging feet and screaming 'til our ears heard no more
right behind us i saw it thru the cracks
inertia crippled action and stopped it in its tracks
If I see clear with bleary eyes can I focus on my past surprise
a tinted lens subverts my mind with candy coated lies…and you see them
Thru all you watch and want to be
thru deafening noise so quietly
you want the lens to focus now so you can see them
thru all you watch and want to be
thru deafening noise so quietly
put your wits in focus now so you can see them
Smell rebellion it's looking thru the door
closer every hour it toes the red tape more
in the alley constituencies meet to lift the laden ashcan and dump it in the street
If I see clear with bleary eyes can i focus on my past surprise
a tinted lens subverts my mind with candy coated lies…and you see them
Thru all you watch and want to be
thru deafening noise so quietly
you want the lens to focus now so you can see them
thru all you watch and want to be
thru deafening noise so quietly
put your wits in focus now so you can see them

If you knew
03:54
|
|

if you could banish all the pollen from the air I would weave the floral wreaths to bind your hair
and all the creatures in the garden better know the secrets of the pulchritude you grow
if you knew how much you wanted me you would understand how good I've tried to be
endless setting suns of love flow to the sea if you only knew how much you wanted me
if you could listen to the song inside my heart you could dance to me until I fall apart
I'd try to not hang on too long when letting go and we could christen every room from high to low
if you knew how much you wanted me you would understand how good I've tried to be
endless setting suns of love flow to the sea if you only knew how much you wanted me
When the angel of your faith is flying high and you shed the tears that you alone can cry
please release me from the corner of your eye
you know that I need you
you know that I need you
you know that I need you
you know…
If you knew how much you wanted me you would understand how good I've tried to be
endless setting suns of love flow to the sea if you only knew how much you wanted me
if you knew how much you wanted me you would understand how good I've tried to be

Heaven

|

yes my baby the sun is cryin' low
yes my baby it's off to work we go
meet and make you
gonna take you to…
heaven
whoa sweet lady you're what odes are for
you're what saved me from that bacchanalian
unforsaken
taken all the way to…
heaven
and they will open creaky gates and greet me with my cloak of fate
and all the prayers that i prorate will keep me from ever reaching…
fire in hades is cooling rain to you
cavalcades of blushing waterloo
panty raiding
sacred wading
heaven

I dig you
03:30
|
|

if i didn't love you i would flee, hannah
other people have no hold on me
don't you understand i'm not the man who won't make something better
i dig you
if you will come with me i will go
live on love and money ‘til we're broke
don't you wanna have another chance to decimate your lover
i dig you
if we are together i'm ok, hannah
mother nature always gets her way
don't you need to know that we're alone when this world's dead and gone
i dig you
yeah
i dig you

Supertechnology
03:10
|
|

a piece of paper that bears your name scanned by a laser on the mainframe
it's in the water and in your brain
it's paranoia it's paranoia
and we say hey hey we all wanna be free of your supertechnology
hey hey we all wanna be free of your supertechnology
they thought they cured it that's what they said
they killed the virus before it spread
when our computers leave us for dead thank god for science thank god for science
and we say hey hey we all wanna be free of your supertechnology
hey hey we all wanna be free of your supertechnology
but i don't know
i don't know where to go
i don't know
i don't know where to go
a nanosystem that's in your face can read the data in some new base
it's quite exciting we've won the race
that's progress for ya' that's progress for ya'
and we say hey hey we all wanna be free of your supertechnology
hey hey we all wanna be free of your supertechnology
hey hey we all wanna be free of your supertechnology
hey hey we all wanna be free of your supertechnology
but i don't know
i don't know where to go
i don't know
i don't know where to go

Mary Jane

they're sellin' mary jane to bring us all a little nearer
the lights expand in the rain to help us see a little clearer
i saw you bringing the blame you told me that you hold me dearer
because you think i'm insane for suckin' face with broken mirrors
what the hell are we doin'
what the hell should i say
what the hell were you thinkin'
is there some other way
where the hell are we and why why why why
and now you're feelin' ashamed 'cause mary now is your disciple
she says "go back where you came 'cause you can't stay at this recital"
your eyes are weary and tame the prayer smoke has made them lazy
you taste her kiss just the same 'cause mary's giddy as a daisy
what the hell are we doin'
what the hell should i say
what the hell were you thinkin'
is there some other way
where the hell are we and why why why why

Anymore

the grass is always kinder in july
give your sister wings and she'll go high
and pluck the cotton candy from the sky
melt the fluff to syrup as you cry
i always tried to
almost died to
you don't seem to understand
i always loved you
always had to have you
you never want to play anymore
all my teeth are waitin' in my hand
blasted loose by jets of stingin' sand
it's ok i don't know my demands
but my bums are bleedin' thinkin' 'bout your plans
i always tried to
almost died to
you don't seem to understand
i always loved you
always had to have you
you never want to play anymore

Grey and Gone
03:27
|
|
||
I am the wish drowned in a kiss of freedom
breathe like a fish truth in a myth for me love
are you man or are you mouse
I flood the holes in my house
You don't know how much i want to tease the laughter from your spine
all the pretty colors faded grey and gone in time
hot cantonese floats on a breeze to tease us
blue in the freeze you sing with ease to me love
selling china by the pound brings no rice to this mouth
you don't know how much i want to tease the laughter from your spine
all the pretty colors faded grey and gone in time

Always
03:41
|
|
||
When i met you in the may palms
broken children
playing to win
I'll be wanting you always
I'llbe haunting you always
when I loved you
sand in sodom
futile feuding
do your duty
I`ll be wanting you always
I'llbe haunting you always
I'll find you anywhere god and money square off
when we start again can i keep you warm
when i lost you there in timor
they pretended that it's ended
I'll be wanting you always
I'llbe haunting you always
I'll be taunting you always
I'llbe haunting you always

Overmind
04:50
|
|
||
the u.s.a. can penetrate
affairs of state erase the slate
the overmind for humankind is goin' blind i've come to find
and i say hey, hey, hey you're no child of mine
just give all you have away everything will be okay
have a good day everyday everything will be okay
we have inspired thru t.v. wires we fell admired and never tired
but if one day we hesitate we fear our fate 'cause it won't wait
so i say hey, hey, hey it ain't quittin' time
just give all you have away everything will be okay
have a good day everyday everything will be okay
by your design a fleshy swine will peel your spine and eat the rind
and you say hey, hey, hey you can't drink my wine
hey, hey, hey back you fleshy swine
hey, hey, hey fear the overmind
