In the shadow of what's real,
dig a hole down in the sand.
where you know you left it all,
the things that make you understand.
And guide your hand.
Then you turn with watering eye,
to the sky in your surprise.
all that sand used to be you,
before you opened it so wide.
And the sand is your blood and the hole is so big
and you shake and you pray and you beg.
You know why.
You know why...
With your watering eye you've got a hole inside,
such a wretched life, don't look so surprised.
You know why.

Gunning for a bluer sky.
Swallowed the dose,
cut your own rope,
Just to know it all.
Do you know it all?
You took down the dose,
cut your own rope,
Wanted to show yourself everything.
You ran through the wire,
tasted the fire.
You can't feel anything at all.

The story you told still rings in my head.
The young men came down,
down to the river, to wash their hands of the mud.
The young men came down,

Now he watches over me and helps me stay in line.
And as he masterbates the chrome
his thumb pulls lightly back the hammer. yeahah.

Oh, Johnny was a law man from the age of five.
Now he watches over me and helps me stay in line.
And as he masterbates the chrome

Try it again. Try it again.
Try it again. Try it again.

Don't bow to the race that is dying inside.
Rotting and swollen with a righteous pride.
Kick to the face, kick to the face, spit in the face and say,

Keep me from growing strong.
Honey on the tongue.
I wish I could be a bit like you.
Bit like you.
Get my every wish.
Nailing down my feet to be with you.
Pulling back my lips.
Showing all my teeth to be like you.
I've been made a pet.
A chain one mile long.
Bleed me every hour.
Keep me from growing strong.
Honey on the tongue.
I wish I could be a bit like you.
Bit like you.
Just a bit like you.

Ohoh
I am of alien intelligence.
At least they say so.
I could show you anything.
Unless I want to.
Many people run away from me.
I make them angry.
They don't like the way I shake.
I am reminded. Yeah-yeah.
Oh, I am reminded.
Yeah!
Oh, Stop and take a look at where your words are falling.
Listen to where your wisdom goes.
Oh, you might be disappointed,
just how much your victim knows.
Kick in.
Oh, I am sickened.
Oh, you won't listen.
You won't listen.
oh!
No!
oh!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Ohh!
Little girl has learned a lesson today.
She has a value.
Get up and change the sheets again.
Late night with Gallo.
Many people run away from her, yeah.
She makes them angry.
They don't like the way she moves.
She is reminding.
Yeah- aw yeah.
Oh, she is reminding.
yeah
Oh, stop and take a look at where your words are falling.
Listen to where your wisdom goes.
Oh, you might be disappointed
just how much your victim knows.
You better kick in.
Oh, I am sickened.
Oh, you won't listen.
Did you wake up today?
Did you wake up yesterday?
Did you wake up today?
Well, if you woke up yesterday,
will you wake up tommorow?
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow,
tomorrow, wake up tomorrow, wake up tomorow,
Oh, tomorrow, tomorrow, oh tomorrow...
You came up from the water,
down into the village now,
followed me to my home.
Spoke to me and said,
(LIVE:)
(Looked up at me and said,)
("Do you recognize where I came from?)
(Do you understand where I have been?)
(Do you calculate the hours?)
(Do you masterbate in showers?)
(Do you feel the forest?)
(Do you feel frost upon you?)
(Do you feel the newspaper?)
(Do you feel the television?)
(Do you understand the bull,)
(Battling into you, fighting for control?)
(Wrestling you down?)
(You may never know.)
(I am the forest.)
(And I am the trees.)
(And I am the beach.)
(And I'm the waves on the seas.)
(And I am the empire.)
(And I am what's building up.)
(And I am the angel.)
(And I am the devil.)
(And I am the trumpet.)
(And I am the sword.)
(And I am the shadow.)
(And I am rarely understood.)
(And I am the shadow.)
(And I am the trees.)
(And I am what's casting you,)
(Down upon your knees!)
(Down upon your knees.)
(Down upon your knees.)
"Don't worry,"
"'cause this is only meant to be
just like a warning to you from me."
"And I am only meant to be
affectionate."
Start my day, I hit my head with the door.
Grab hold of the chair
and pull myself from the floor.
Still isn't clear what that was for.
Recognized, things buried in here.
Fruit ripe for the pickings.
and thoughts of fear.
You can't let it get too easy to assume what isn't clear.
Tell me 'bout those good old days.
Older ones and better ways.
Ways I cannot change today.
Tell me why.
I'll tell you why.
Teeth like a dog can getchya back in the game.
And each new problem
drives you further from sane.
Topics take a root in all the things that cause you pain.
One more day and not a bad start at all.
Less weight on your shoulders,
can make you feel tall.
This bottle stands empty waiting for me to call.
Tell me why.
Tell me why.
14. The Sad
Ballad Of Danny Boy
[Danny?]
[Danny boy!]
[Danny?]
(Dad (Jack Nicholson): The Shining)
That's right my name is Danny Boy,
and I like to drink at night.
I go down to the pub, wherein I buy myself a pint or three
I like to go out drinking, 'cause beer it is my life,
until I come home,
and lay eyes upon my darling wife.
Say,
Oh Danny won't you go home earlier tonight?
You're daughter doesn't know you,
You're giving us a fright when you say...
Say, somethings wrong with anyone who's not like me.
With you the violence just comes so easily.
You never learn, I have to teach you constantly.
With you the violence just comes.
Hush now.
You know my name is Danny Boy,
and I'll buy another round.
Then off to the market when this place closes down.
'Cause I say drinkings always done when the sun's up in the sky.
Sun is always up somewhere, it's your turn to buy.
And I say,
Oh, Danny won't you go home earlier tonight?
Your son he doesn't know you...
And you're giving us a fright when you say...
Say, somethings wrong with anyone who's not like me.
With you the violence just comes so easily.
You never learn, I have to teach you constantly.
Hush now.
Hush now!
Hush nowww.
Yeah...

Down comes the day.
I'm going to crawl into you.
Deep into you.
Take up my hands,
spread you in two,
see through your eyes.
Make all your fears come true.
Under your flesh,
shivering there,
feel out your lies.
I'm gonna crawl into you.
Yeah!
Oh!
I'm gonna crawl into you.
[Who are you?]
