And I moved
As I saw him looking
In through my window
His eyes were silent lies



And I moved
And I saw him standing
In the doorway
His figure merely filled the space



And I moved
But I moved toward him



And I moved
And his hands felt like ice, exciting
As he laid me back
Just like an empty dress



And I moved
But a minute later
He was weeping
His tears his only truth



And I moved
But I moved toward him
I moved toward him

Why was I born today
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I never had a chance
But opportunity's now in my hands



I stand with my guitar
All I need's a mirror then I'm a star
I'm so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on
You might see me, oh, what a thrill for you



I've been there, gone there
I've lived there and bummed there
I've spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there



I've had enough of the way things been done
Every man on a razors edge
Someone has used us to kill with the same gun
Killing each other by driving a wedge



My life's a mess
I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar
I hold an empty glass



Why was I born today
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I didn't get a chance
Opportunity's in my hands



I stand with my guitar
I need a mirror then I'm a star
I'm so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on you might see me



I've been there and gone there
I've lived there and bummed there
I've spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there



Had enough of the way things have been done
Every man on a razors edge
Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun
We were killing each other by driving a wedge



My life's a mess
I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar
I hold an empty glass



Don't worry, smile and dance
You just can work life out
Don't let down moods entrance you
Take the wine and shout



My life's a mess
I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar
I hold an empty glass

Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's see freedom
Let's see who cares



Take me with you
When you leave me
And my shell
Behind us there



I have learned it
Known who burned me
Avatar has warmed my feet
Take me with you
Let me see you
Time and life can meet



Rumor has it
Minds are open
Then you must fill them up with lies
Future passing
Nothing lasting
I try to scream 'cause nothing dies



Nothing is, everything
Everything is, nothing is
Please the people
Audiences
Break the fences, nothing is



Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's see freedom
In the air



Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's be free
Let's see who cares



Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's see freedom
In the air



Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's be free
Let's see who cares



Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's see freedom
In the air



Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's be free
Let's see who cares



Give me a drink, boy
Wash my feet
I'm so tired of running
From my own heat



Take this package
And here's what you do
Gonna get this
Information through



I don't know where I'm going
I don't know what I need
But I'll get to where I'm gonna end up
And that's alright by me



I've been running from side to side
Now I know for sure that both sides lied
It's got so hard but we gotta keep trying
I can't stand to see my people crying



I don't know where I'm going
I don't know what I need
But I'll get to where I'm gonna end up
And that's alright by me



I don't know where I'm going
I don't know what I need
But I'll get to where I'm gonna end up
And that's alright by me



Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's see freedom
In the air



Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's be free
Let's see who cares



Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's be free
Let's see who cares



Let's see action
Let's see people
Let's be free
Let's see who cares



Nothing is, everything
Everything is, nothing is
Nothing is, everything
Everything is, nothing is



Nothing is, everything
Everything is, nothing is
Nothing is, everything
Everything is, nothing is



Nothing is
Nothing is
Nothing is

A love born once must soon be born again
A flame that died, then cinders to be fanned
By the wind and thrown to flame
Flames like tongues impassioned in a moments burst
Tell me, friend, why do you stand aloof from your own heart?



The truth confronts you
The truth confronts you as the sea
Crushing without detail, impassioned and detached
Killing with love and power in God's name



People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people



Love conquers poses, love smashes stances
Love crushes angles into black
So you without question, know your first love is your last
And you will never, you'll never, you'll never love again



I always wished to walk with her into restaurants
It's a clammy tale
To be seen beside her at the public bar foot rail
I always wanted to be matched with her



Yet her beauty was so different to mine
My beauty needs an understanding and a knowledge of what I am
Hers is enough, earned through eons for that's what true beauty is
Time's gift of perfect humility



May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me
May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me



May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me
May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me, God help me



May I be matched with you again
Without your match there is no flame



People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people



People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people



People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people

Put on my blue suede shoes and
I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

W.C. Handy
Won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

I saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through

Now, security did not see him
They just hovered round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
And she's down in the jungle room

When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

Now, they've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green, be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis

Now, Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said, "Tell me are you a Christian, child?"
And I said, "Ma'am, I am tonight!"

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

Put on my blue suede shoes and I
Boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
I walk in the air between the rain
through myself and back again
Where? I don't know
Maria says she's dying
through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don't know

[Chorus:]
Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates

Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
and she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
she parks her car outside of my house
and takes her clothes off
says she's close to understanding Jesus
and she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

[Chorus:]
Round here we're carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here she's slipping through my hands

Sleeping children better run like the wind
out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning

She says, "It's only in my head."
She says, "Shh I know it's only in my head."
But the girl on car in the parking lot
says, "Man you should try to take a shot.
can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
Then she looks up at the building
and says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life
she must be tired of something

[Chorus:]
Round here she's always on my mind
Round here hey man got lots of time
Round here we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late

I can't see nothin', nothin', round here.
You catch me if I'm falling.
You catch me if I'm falling.
You catch me cause I'm falling down on you
I said, "I'm under the gun..."
Round here.
Oh, man, I said, "I'm under the gun..."
Round here.
And I can't see nothin', nothin'.
Round here.

We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
Where are we going, so far away
And somebody told me that this is the place
Where everything's better, everything's safe

Walk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes bone

And half and hour later we packed up our things
We said we'd send letters and all those little things
And they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same
It seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came

Now we're back at the homestead
Where the air makes you choke
And people don't know you
And trust is a joke
We don't even have pictures
Just memories to hold
That grow sweeter each season
As we slowly grow old

Marky got with Sharon, Sharon got Sherice
She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar, and Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dyin', they were doin' it in Texas

Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas, he was dancin' with a train
They were all in love with dyin', they were drinking from a fountain
That was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

Some will die in hot pursuit in fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche comin' down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

Another Mikey took a knife while arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death, he caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever present football player-......
They were all in love with dyin', they were doin' it in Texas

Paulie caught a bullet, but it only hit his leg
Well, it should have been a better shot, and got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin', they were drinkin' from a fountain
That was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

I had visions, I was in them;
I was looking into the mirror
To see a little bit clearer
The rottenness and evil in me.

Fingertips have memories
Mine can't forget the curves of your body
And when I feel a bit naughty
I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
(but no one ever does)

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot 'cause I'm in Hell.

Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The ......s cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a TV

Put me in the hospital for nerves
And then they had to commit me
You told them all I was crazy
They cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee, .......n you

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot 'cause I'm in Hell
I'm not sick but I'm not well
And it's a sin to live so well

I wanna publish 'zines
And rage against machines
I wanna pierce my tongue
It doesn't hurt, it feels fine
The trivial sublime
I'd like to turn off time
And kill my mind
You kill my mind, mind

Paranoia, paranoia
Everybody's coming to get me
Just say you never met me
I'm running underground with the moles (digging holes)
Hear the voices in my head
I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring;
But if you're bored, then you're boring.
The agony and the irony: they're killing me (whoa).

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot 'cause I'm in Hell
I'm not sick but I'm not well
And it's a sin to live this well
(one, two, three, four)

Born to be down
I've learned all my lessons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get used to it

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't
And you don't

Born to be down
I think that I've said this before now
Born to be down
What good is confidence?

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't
And you don't

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't

And you don't
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you don't
And you learn to accept it, you know it's pathetic
And you don't
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you don't
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't

t must be your skin that I'm sinking in
It must be for real 'cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind
It's not my kind, it's not my time to wonder why
Everything gone white
Everything's grey
Now you're here
Now you're away
I don't want this
Remember that
I'll never forget where you're at

Don't let the days go by
Glycerine, Glycerine

I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
Are you at one, or do you lie
We live in a wheel where everyone steals
But when we rise it's like strawberry fields
I treated you bad, you bruise my face
I couldn't love you more you've got a beautiful taste

Don't let the days go by
Could've been easier on you
I couldn't change though I wanted to
It should have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine, Glycerine
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine
Don't let the days go by....
Glycerine, Glycerine
Glycerine, Glycerine
Bad moon white again
Bad moon white again
As she falls around me

I needed you more when you wanted us less
I could not kiss, just regress
It might just be clear simple and plain
Well that's just fine that's just one of my names

Don't let the days go by
It could've been easier on you, you, you
Glycerine, Glycerine, Glycerine, Glycerine
