And what will they say when you're gone?
That you conquered?
That you burned like a rocket from the womb to the world?
And you ran with the colors and your flags unfurled?
And (that) you ignited everything, like a gasoline rain?
Will they say you were insane,
While their life is drained?
And all of us go down slow. And then we rise again.
Just like the tide out at sea, we lower and rise again.
And the days go by, and the nights all feel the same.
And the beast in your eyes slowly becomes tame and again.
Tame and dim.
(LIVE: And I don't know why and I don't know when)
(LIVE: But all of us must, die in the end)
(3rd verse, live)
Ahh, you see me kickin at a tin-can,
And I blame it on the sea.
You see I never know when, I never know why,
I'm never gonna be you...
No I'm never gonna be you.
I squeezed and slid my wet way out.
Into a world that was too damn cold.
My pushing mother had no doubt.
That the child would be something to behold.
And all the church bells rang.
All the angels sang.
And I thought I should feel safe.
But I was always watching, always. Yeah, yeahhhh
And I can't slow it down,
I watch the seasons roll.
And I can't slow it down.
Watch the seasons roll.
And I can't slow it down.
Watch the seasons roll. yeah!
Angels! Why don't you save us?
Devil! Why don't you take us?
Take us from ourselves?
Take us from ourselves!
Take us from ourselves!
Ahhyeah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah........
I know that I should feel safe.
I'm always watching,
I know that I should feel safe.
But I'm always watching,
I know that I should feel safe.
I'm always watching,
I know that I should feel safe.
But I'm always watching
I know that I should feel safe.
[what the hell do you think you are doing?]
[You maniac! I'll (hold you).........]
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
Hup
Hup
Hup
Hup
So you rise from the blood,
Catching yourself in the mirror.
Well did you get it on film?
and monkey see monkey do.
And it's another day
you are a star today
aching to get in to see the show.
they take the curtain down,
nobody makes a sound,
the movie star in your head is like a drug.
Someone says "Here we go"
And the pain dies as the lights come down.
Ooh Ah!
Hold on
This will all be over soon, yeah.
And as they speak their words destroy you.
Ahh their words destroy you,
Just hold still,
Until the lights come down.
Until the lights come down.
So you rise from the blood.
You got a steel gaze,
You got a cat's eye,
Intoxicated by,
all of the people you might be.
And it's another day,
you are a star today,
Aching to get into see the show.
They take the curtain down,
Nobody makes a sound.
The movie star in your arm, creeps in your blood.
You whisper "Here we go"
And the pain dies again as the lights come down.
Yeah!
You better hold on,
You still haven't seen the end.
When they get into your brain,
Let them rebuild you.
Ahh, let them rebuild you, just hold still.
Until the house lights rise.
Rise!
Oooohhh yeahhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhohhhhhhh
Ha Ha March!
March!
Into the aisles
Come on and march,
Out into the aisles
The day (LIVE: war) is over now.
And the time is drawing near.

Ooh! Ahh!
Ah March!
Go!
Oooh!
Ohh
ohhhh
Yeah!
Ooh!
ahh..
Feast on me and
take your fill.
and when I'm finished giving,
go and find someone who will.
We are one you say,
but who are we?
I'm lying on the table,
and I'm high above the trees.
And this feast must go on and on and on...
and nobody gives a damn!
Take a side you say
it's black and gray.
and all the hunters take the hunted
merrily out to play.
And we are one you say, but
who are you?
And you're all too busy reaping,
in the things you've never sown.
And this feast must go on and on and on!
Nobody gives a damn! Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Feast on me, and
take your fill
and when I'm finished bleeding,
go and find someone who will.
And, am I talking a bit too loud?
Am I acting a bit too proud?
Well, it's always something,
then I'm gone away.
And you're all starving.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Starving...
You're all starving.
You're all starving.
You're all starving.
With every twitch of the brain,
comes a thick, black chain
I see the body's a beast,
and I am the rider,
whither the beast goes,
so shall I.
Shall I warm these bones
by her dark night moans?
And I see the body's a beast,
and I am the rider,
whither the beast goes,
so shall I!
Good morning children!
How nice to see you again.
I hope you're ready for your lesson today, hey hey
To build your spiritual health,
We'll start erasing the self.
Suppress those tiny devils,
Boiling in your bone!
Your whole life,
You've been softly fading.
Once you were strong,
but now degrading,
and searching for a light to lead the way.
That's me.
I'm a holy spastic.
I'll make you feel,
you're made of blood,
in a world that's plastic.
Take my hand,
cause only I can show you the way.
And all the way.
The sinister minister's grinning.
What have I got to offer?
What have you got to lose?
In your alcohol haze.
In this soft disgrace.
When you could be mine,
and even God needs lambs.
And I am the Shepherd.
I am the Shepherd!
I hate to see you cry.
I hate to see you cry.
I hate to see you cry.
Place your hand in mine and I'll hate it!
And why do you want to suffer?
What are you trying to prove?
In your sick little phase.
You got your hands up raised.
You could be clean.
And you know I need lambs,
and I am the Shepherd.
You know I'm the Shepard!
I hate to see you cry.
I hate to see you cry.
Bleach that soiled life.
And take your place in line, yeaheaheah
oh-oh-oh
You know your whole life,
you've been softly fading.
Once you were strong,
but now you're degrading,
and searching for a little light to lead the way.
Well that's me.
I'm a holy spastic.
I'll make you feel,
you're made of blood
in a world that is plastic.
Now take my hand,
cause only I can show you the way.
And now you know all the way.
I will be grinning.
Ohhhhhhhohhhh!
Ohhhhhhhohhhh!
Ohhhhh.
Ohhhhhhhohhhh!
Ohhhhhhhohhhh!
Ohhhhh.
Hey hey medicine woman
Do your dance
Take the pain
Slay the lamb
Slay the minister
Make me whole again.
Did you feel that?
Did you like it?
Straight to heaven, no need to pray.
Don't make it all so complicated
Watch the background fade away
Hey hey, let our legions swallow you.
And we're only half a mile from home.
We're so lonely, one more night alone.
Don't leave me alone with him.
And the feeling is closing in.
Don't leave me alone with him.
And the minister starts to grin.
Hey hey astral traveler
Has your family gone away?
Do they the lambs,
Obey the minister?
For your wretched soul they pray.
Did you see that?
Did you like it?
The way the sheep all flock that way.
Don't make it all so complicated
Watch the background fade away.
Hey hey let our legions swallow you.
And we're only half a mile from home.
We're so lonely, one more night alone.
Don't leave me alone with him!
And the feeling is closing in
Don't leave me alone with him!
And the minister starts to grin.
Sometimes I'm up.
Sometimes I'm down.
This indescision keeps me chained to the ground.
Sometimes I'm high.
and sometimes I'm low.
Stuck in the middle, Jesus Christ,
I've got no place to go.
Nowhere to go.
Nothing to hide.
Cuz I've got nothing at all.
You know I've got nothing.
Feel the family fade.
Feel the faith degrade.
Why won't the beast behave?
Take me back!
Sometimes I'm high!
and I said sometimes I'm low!
Stuck in the middle, Jesus,
I've got no place to go.
Got no where to go!
Nothing to hide!
Cuz I got nothing at all!
I've got nothing.
Nowhere to go.
Nothing to hide.
Got nothing at all.
[{squeeking sign or a chicken?)]
(U-turn)
[A bus]
[dog barking]
Yeah!
Ahh choking up dust on a Mexican Bus, I
Give birth to a brand new concept,
Then doubled over, and my days are numbered.
Right about sunrise, came into a new town.
Can't breath and I move so slowly
And the sky is humming, and my motor thunders.
Shall we ride into the white hot dawn?
Tomorrow all will be known.
Your feet will rise from the stone.
And you go through the sky!
Until then! I'm all you've got!
Until then, I'm all you need! I'm everything,
Every night!
I take a back seat to a sweet companion.
Must be something to control it.
The world is watching, and I'm outnumbered.
Don't fuck with a crazy man you say
I don't fuck with a man in control.
The sky is humming, and now my motor thunders.
Shall we ride into the white hot dawn?
Tomorrow all will be known.
Known.
Known.
All will be known.
Known.
Known.
Known.
Known.
Known.
And take my wings and I still roam.
Break my glass and break my bones and I'll be beside you.
And take these thorns from out of my feet.
While you walk these wretched streets, I'll be inside you.
oohoh
And now,
You're inside me.
Am I getting through?
Am I losing you?
Just give me some little sign.
You're drifting out to sea.
You can't do this to me.
I gave you all that was mine. Yeah.
Yeah...ohh... ooh yeah.. ohh yeahh ohhh.
Do you see,
that you were always alone
until you befriended me?
How you've grown.
just take a look at yourself.
The stranger has found a home.
And I could leave this place,
and I could almost fly.
If I could only just reach the window. Oh... wooooh.
1.. 2.. 3.. 4!
Ahhhhh..
You had sex on television,
punched a clock.
You never noticed that your life had stopped.
Changing,
begun arranging
itself in little ways.
And you cry...
"take me away sister, won't you lead me astray sister?"
was my taste not as sweet?
As your tongue wanted.
You need me, we're the same.
You need me, we're the same.
You need me, we're the same.
You need..
this, it's a shock!
but trust me, you'll feel better after.
I see, I see you must have lost your way,
but I can bring you back again.
Go through the sky again,
Breath, open your eyes.
Feel your skin grow cold.
I can bring you back again.
Be yourself again.
Hell...ohh...oohyeah.. ohh... yeahahah.. oh.
I was so kind.
Went nearly out of my mind.
But I was thinking of you the whole time.
And I gave you all that was mine.
I gave you all that was mine.
I gave you all that was mine.
I gave you all that was mine.
I gave you all that was mine.
I gave you...
I gave you...
I gave you...
Ah come back to me!
Come back to me!
Come back to me!
Just.. (live: "Jesus") Come back to me!
[I can't hear you, you're gonna have to talk a little louder.]
[Yes.]
[I hear you. Yes.. Yes..]
[Why me? I said why me? Yes..]
Golden head and feet of clay.
And someone said he looked like me.
You know you're not to blind to see. ah ah
His golden head and feet of clay. aahhh.
Look in his eyes and see the disease.
But in his mind he's free and clean.
And when the water washes you clean,
You see the disease eating me.
You see the disease eating me. yeah!
Ooh, you see it eating me.
You see it eating me.
You see it eating me.
You see it eating me.. yeah.. uhooh uhoohoh!
Ohhhhhhh ooohooohooo ahhh
Go to the window, boy.
Become what you would destroy.
Feed yourself on dissonance.
Make your belly grow.
And take heed of the cry.
Of all the sirens outside.
You know that this will be your inheritance,
Up from this plateau! yeah!
Where have those days gone?
South with other wings.
I'll just learn to settle on,
slightly lesser things.
Gripped on my face,
hold my place,
with the cold grey backs in line
And I'm fighting off the cold.
slowly getting old,
slipping perfectly into the design.
And I'm drooling my drops of wine.
Do you remember how we swam?
Out beyond the dams?
When we were diving down with confidence.
Up from a plateau. Ohhyeah!
Where have our days gone?
Have they gone south with other wings?
I'll just learn to settle on,
Slightly lesser things.
Fight to keep pace
In an endless race.
Coveting yours,
And clutching mine.
Just take me back, take me home,
Can't find my way, my way back home.
(live ending #1)
(Can't find my way.)
(And you're open, to any change you find.)
(And you suffer, your shelter is crumbling
(fast from the inside.)
(And I know, you've been here before.)
(And I know, you know where the door is.)
(And I know, that you've been here before.)
(We can all see, you know where the door is)
(you know where the lights are,)
(you know where the times gone,)
(you know where your life is,)
(you know where the door is,
(you know where the lights are,)
(you know where the times gone,)
(you know where to find a star,)
(you know how to navigate)
(you know how to read,)
(you know how to fight,)
(you know how to bleed,)
(you know how to run,)
(you know how to be....aaaaaaaahh!)
(oh-oh!)
(Oh you know.)
(Oh you feel it.)
(Feeling's slipping away.)
(Feeling's slipping away!)
(Feeling's slipping away!)
(Your feeling's a slipping away!)
(And you suffer.)
(live ending #2)
I'm slipping into the design.
My shelter is crumbling fast from the inside.
I'm open to any change outside.
The day that I slip,
We may stop surviving.
Just stay here in the shadows,
I've got to keep on driving.
Wait here at the stoplight,
The busses are arriving,
Wait here, wait here, wait here...
You wanna be my passenger?
You wanna be my passenger?
You wanna be my passenger!
Just sit back, just sit back, just sit back,
Let me do the driving!
Let me do it, just let me do it,
Let me do it, Let me do it...
Let me do it to you...just like I used to do.
Feel it slipping away.
Feelings are slipping away
Feel it slipping away.
Feelings are slipping away,
And I won't suffer.
This is the last time, I will never feel this way again.
I'm gonna see that swollen river take my wretched body in.
yeah.
With your street lamp for a soul I am just one of many,
insects in your light, in your light, in your light.
And so I, I call on the dogs again. And nobody said you could go.
Now you wanted to watch me bend, well now I'm gonna put on a show.
And all things need an end. Come on,
Six feet to go!
Sad eyes, just look at him try.
Cold man, he's been poisoned from inside.
And I'm a legless thing that lives to run.
A useless thief who's frightened by the night, in the night, in the night,
And so I, I call on the dogs again!
Now nobody said you could go.
and you wanted to watch me bend,
Well, now I'm gonna put on a show.
And all things need an end.
Come on,
Six feet below!
There's still six feet to go.
Now that you know.
If these are the last days,
Do you feel like a holy man?
14. Our Hero's
Resolve, a.k.a. Oof
Oof!
God I want you! (God I'd watch out!)
God I want you! (God I'd watch out!)
Ehh!
Oof!
God I want you! (God I'd watch out!)
God I want you! (God I'd watch out!)
Ahhhh.
Come my little mosquito,
and prove you are my love.
Preach to me your strange obsession
poised on a highway of blood.
Highway of blood.
On a highway of blood.
Yeah.
Creeping up my staircase.
Switching off all the lights.
Nobody can see us now,
show me you can bite.
Bite.
You gotta try it,
to know what it's like.
As mosquito drives the spike.
I made a choice, God lost the fight.
And I don't hear Him crying.
Yeah!
ohhhoohhohh!
Don't hear Him crying.
I don't hear God crying.
yeah.
On wings it hears me calling.
Desirous of a sting.
Brings me the identity,
I came to this world missing.
yeah, missing.
Missing.
I remember you father.
But do you remember me?
Did I leave a footprint,
in the dust of your memory?
Down in the dust.
You gotta try it,
to know what it's like.
As mosquito drives the spike.
I made a choice, God lost the fight.
And I don't hear Him crying.
Yeah!
I don't hear Him crying!
[mosquitos]
Ooh!
Yeah!
yeahahahooh
oohhhaahhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Ooh!
Ahhhh!
Ahhhhh!
yeah
Come my little mosquito.
And prove you are my friend.
I can't turn the lights back on.
Is this how it ends? Is this how it ends?
[--door bell buzzes--]
[Hey, baby... where you at?]
[There you are.. what the fuck'd you do?]
[-crying-]
Goodbye friend.
The world no longer needs you.
you were so kind to lead the life, you left behind.
And thanks again.
From all of us who had to feed you.
With this burden off our backs.
We'll be sublime.
And from the world, you corrupted,
And almost forced to change. Now that your through,
We can bury you.
And we'll be fine.
The heat has a taste.
It tastes like a flame.
You drink up the flame, and it burns your flesh away.
And in the city of clouds,
you're just a face in the crowd.
But you take up your place,
and you throw yourself away,
Everyday of your life.
Well, take a breath, and take a seat, and take your medicine.
Close your eyes, and cauterize the wound you're opening.
Well, all these lives, that make no sense.
All along we cry in our defense.
And all of us go down slow,
And then we rise again.
And just like a tide on the sea.
We lower and rise again.
Well, and the days go bye and the nights all feel the same.
And the beast in your eyes slowly becomes tame.
Someday you will change.
Hey hey hey heyyy
This world has gone and drug us along
And nothing's the same, and it will never be again.
It's never gonna be the same.
And all these lives that make no sense.
All along we cry in our defense.
All of us go down slow,
Then we rise again.
But just like the tide on the sea.
We lower and rise again, and again.
I said, the days go by and the nights all feel the same.
And the beast in your eyes, slowly becomes tame and dim.
Someday never comes.
Ooh!
The snake strikes,
to give,
life!
(Live, extended ending):
The sutra is clarified, the Serpent it strikes.
The tail is its target in the circle it bites.
