A List For Lost Time
04:14
|
|||
If I ask it one way
it might seem all OK
fatty coils of half-formed thought
As day runs into day
day runs into day, yeah
But now my thoughts run over
the hour begins to chime
and all those things I never was
get listed as lost time
oh, a list of lost time
Oh, a list for lost time
Well as a child your dreams are clear
but as you grow they blur
as all those things you could have been
become what you never were
what you never were yeah!
But now I’m old and obvious
I’m jaded and Im free
of all those stagnant vines of future
hangin off of me,
hang it all and get free!
oh, hang it all and get free
And even if this life ain't strictly luxury
Well hell at least I'm never bored
Cuz even a short life that's scant on victories
is better than long life that's been ignored,
beats a life that's been ignored
No one can make it easy
But I think I never tried
left my thoughts inside my head
and tried to get outside
into the bright outside
And now the future's laying out
its green and wide and wild
And just for once it's good
to greet that distance with a smile
yeah, an older wiser smile
Yeah, enjoy it for awhile
(the part where you should drop acid)
And even if this life ain't strictly luxury
and even if I know I'm past my prime
Ill be damned if I just sit here counting missed connections
with nothing but these lists of my lost time
all of these lists for lost time

These Shadows In My Skin
05:33
|

Demons scratchin at my filthy windows
as I crawl out of my skin
burn a hole there in my frenzied skull now
a place to let all of them in
And yeah I'm thinking that I’ve lost control
bad things I got tangled up inside
my mind submits, hands shake too hard to hold
So come along with me enjoy the ride
hey hey hey hey hey-ey I said, the night bleeds out phantasmagoric sights
hey hey hey hey ey eye I said, I won’t even make it through this night
hey hey hey hey ey eye I said, silhouetted in the inky moonless sky
hey hey hey hey ey eye I said, this night will be with me until I die, this night will be until I die
Clean clean clean clean my silver darlin
As you come to me at night
Shiva, shiva, shiva you so darlin;
I hope that everything will be alright
And yeah I'm thinking that I’ve lost control
the bad things I got tangled up inside
my mind submits, hands shake too much to hold
come along with me enjoy the ride
hey hey hey hey hey-ey I said, the night bleeds out phantasmagoric sights
hey hey hey hey ey eye I said, I won’t even make it through this night
hey hey hey hey ey eye I said, silhouetted in the inky moonless sky
hey hey hey hey ey eye I said, this night will be with me until I die, this night will be until I die
And as I move on down that line
where sirens howl as their eyes shine
a hungry hymn to human flesh
as captive flies fitfully thrash
the walls close in around your sight
as threads of steel grip you tight
and as you feel your blood run red
I can’t escape what’s -- in my head
hey hey hey hey hey-ey I said, the night bleeds out phantasmagoric sights
hey hey hey hey ey eye I said, I won’t even make it through this night
hey hey hey hey ey eye I said, silhouetted in the inky moonless sky
hey hey hey hey ey eye I said, this night will be with me until I die, this night will be until I die

Even In This World

Waste away
you’re all work and no play
time is just a frame of mind
come what may
there is nothing to say
you’re afraid to look inside
Even in this world of
Broken laughter
There’s still time
Even in this world
You can love her here
or in the sweet hereafter, there’s still time
Even in this world
Waste away
there are always bills to pay
it’s a way of keeping time
Come what may
nothin’ moves from day to day
you’re afraid of what you’ll find
Even in this world of
Broken laughter
There’s still time
Even in this world
You can love them here
or in the sweet hereafter, there’s still time
Even in this world

You know a humane treatment
Ah despite the way you’re treated
And their smiles and lies are covering
Up the fact that you’ve been Fleeced!
And You know that I’m no weatherman
But I think you need a warning
Because when I see you smiling back
I’m seething that they lied!
(and I say!)
Fight For it!
And we can take it!
You smoke and you get through the day
fight for it
Everytime you lose
Oooh, back from the shadows, that great crusade is finally on!
Oooh, you lived in darkness but if you fight theres hope for dawn!
Oooh you may be scared but in the future king will bow to pawn
Ooooh the people coming out of darkness you can count them one to three four five six seven eight one two three four ~ go!
They tell you yeah they are your friends
And you should fucking thank them
And they’ll sing your praises all the way
To their friends down at the bank!
You don’t need no fuckin prophet yeah
To tell you you’re deserving
You simply need to point the gun
Right back at those you’re serving!
(and I say!)
Fight For it!
And we can take it!
You smoke and you get through the day
fight for it
Everytime you lose
Oooh, back from the shadows, that great crusade is finally on!
Oooh, you lived in darkness but if you fight theres hope for dawn!
Oooh you may be scared but in the future king will bow to pawn
Ooooh the people coming out of darkness you can count them one to three four five six seven eight one two three four ~ go!
In the shadows, in the shadows
Our voices don’t return to us (wooah)
And the siren song deafens the workers
With promises dissolving into dust (woaah)
In the shadows that we live in
The build a lie and tell us its our choice (waoah)
And through the chaos of their echo chamber
You’ve got to strain to hear a human voice!
Its coming a new day
no matter what they say
the rise of a new way for us all
so its time to get free
even if you cant see
that there's a degree of pride before the fall

The Devil On Sunday

The Devil on Sunday, he wore
He wore his finest clothes
Cozied up to Jesus, said
I’ll follow you wherever you go
Murmured apologies for any unkind words
Then stepped into the Afternoon
Salvation thus assured
Alchemists and Apostates,
May shoot the day for night
Leave it up to Jesus, it’s
His job to put the wrong to right
The Devil laughing said,
“I’ll put the lie to this,
what lovely irony, no quarter for a killer’s kiss”
Any Offering- We’ll see it put to shame
A funny kind of loyalty that gets you through this stupid game
The street musicians called the truth down from the sky (and I)
I howled ‘what’s it mean, I’ve got to know before it passes by”
It rained on Sunday.
in the middle of the day
And the people gazed up to the sky,
their eyes strained through the murky gray
The devil’s in the graveyard
Strolling through the old tombstones
As the people streamed out from the church
filing out under the darkened sky—
heading for their homes
Any Offering- We’ll see it put to shame
A funny kind of loyalty that gets you through this stupid game
The street musicians called the truth down from the sky (and I)
I howled ‘what’s it mean, I’ve got to know before it passes by”
Wo-o-o-o-oah what did I do wrong?
Wo-o-o-o-oah what did I do wrong?
