Lyrics
DOWN TO THE BOTTOM
I’ve been drifting through your street like a stranger
I was out on the edge but now the ledge has gone
Down to the bottom where I belong
Down to the bottom where I belong
I’ve been taking a joyride on the escalator
I was painting the ceiling like a setting sun
Down to the bottom where I belong
Down to the bottom where I belong
I’ve been talking so fast it made me feel like laughing
I was waiting in line, but now my time has come
Down to the bottom where I belong
Down to the bottom where I belong
WAITING FOR THE WAR
These changes pounding in my blood
As I rise above the flood
Like ice cubes melting in the sun
And not upon my tongue
There’s a new game in town
Called waiting for the war
Shadows break their code of trust
They have changed my name to mud
Final answers wave white flags
Because eternity is a drag
There’s a new game around
Called waiting for the war
Dark symbols falling from the sky
Poking holes inside our eyes
We cant ask our leaders why
Because this war is for our minds
But we’ll survive underground
Waiting for the war
DANDELION
If I was a younger man
I could make you understand
If I was a grain of sand
I could slip right through your hands
If I was a dandelion
I could dream all day and night
If I was a butterfly
I could drift right through your mind
If I was a piece of gum
I could live beneath your tongue
If I was a pile of dust
You could come and pick me up
If I was a Jesus freak
I could kneel and kiss your heel
If I was a wood rose seed
I could show you how I feel
THIRD EYE SURGERY
Imaginary spaceship
Metaphysical facelift
Imaginary spaceship
Metaphysical facelift
There must be something you don’t know
There must be something you can’t see
You need a third eye surgery
Psychotropic lollipop
A goody goody gum drop
Psychotropic lollipop
A goody goody gum drop
Tryptamine pipedream
Everyone’s a dopefiend
Tryptamine pipedream
Everyone’s a dope fiend
Real fucking high
Real fucking high
LOVE LIKE A FLOWER
Love your enemy, save more energy
Change reality, third eye surgery
Find your destiny, be all you can be
Turn off your tv, set your brother free
And grow your love like a flower
And love like a flower
Know just what you need, make no apologies
Don’t be a mystery, show just how you feel
And grow your love like a flower
And love like a flower
Love your enemy, save more energy
Find your destiny, set your lover free
NOTHING IS REAL
I was born in a junk yard
And told culture is my friend
That money is my god
And the vultures my government
You’re making me feel like nothing is real
I was raised in a wasteland
Circled in by electric fence
My food grows out of a trash can
And turns plastic in the end
You’re making me feel like nothing is real
I grew up in a treadmill
At the bombshell factory
They tell me war is peace
And TV is reality
But I don’t wanna feel like nothing is real
IT’S JUST A RIDE
Some people spend their lives
Looking for thrills and blowing their minds
Some people are in a race with time
Chasing for gold and nice things to buy
They can’t understand that it’s just a ride
Some people will bring you down
They’ll spit in your face and push you around
Some people will talk their talk
Wasting their breath
With nothing to say
Some people are just for sale
They’ll do anything as long as they’re paid
Some people know it all ends
They’ll get their kicks before it’s too late
BULLSHIT DETECTOR
So you think you’re the center
But you’re out of time
You’re no longer a person
You’re just a sign
Ain’t no use in trying
Coz I got mine
Bullshit detector
I see through your mind games
And all your bullshit lies
Hang on to your ego
And don’t lose your mind
Ain’t no truth in lying
When I got my bullshit detector
Everything falls to pieces
And you’ve done your part
Let me know if you need me
Straight from the heart
Ain’t no use in lying
Coz I got mine bullshit detector
HONALEE
Who knows what’s going on beyond that curtain drawn?
For what it’s worth it won’t be too very long
Before that change will lift my mind up above the roofs of time
And you can come along if you can make the climb
Honalee – just let it all come down
If you know what I mean
Someone who is not me once spoke of a lucid dream
He said to him it seemed to be so real
He dissolved his boundaries and unleashed realities
And then he found himself to be in the center of the stream
He heard a rumbling sound as an earthquake split the ground
And made a giant gap where his world all came down
He heard children scream and cry as they gave in to the rising tide
Then he watched them drown before his own two eyes
TWO TONGUE TALK
Well, your heart it smells like burning plastic
As you ejaculate atomic waste
I feel like I’m lost in your matrix
Confused by your false flag face
You cannot make me eat your two tongue talk
You cannot make me believe your two tongue talk
Carefully weaving your fabric
Like a spider hooked on the chase
Your conspiracy is a secret fantasy
About the rise of a new master race
You cannot make me eat your two tongue talk
You cannot make me believe your two tongue talk
I’m swimming in your one world blood
With my mind on a higher plane
A photogenic skizophrenic
Caught on surveillance tape
You cannot make me eat your two tongue talk
You cannot make me believe your two tongue talk
War is peace, freedom slavery
Ignorance strength, oblivion a virtue
(swimming in your one world blood)
NO SALVATION
Purify your body to elevate your mind
Refine your emotions to liberate your soul
Dispose of your posessions
Dispose of your possesions
Love yourself for who you are
Love yourself for who you are
There aint no saviour who’s gonna set you free
Ain’t no salvation for you or me
Killing your brother in the name of religion
Killing your brother in the name of religion
Turn down the lights
To enhance all your senses
Yeah, turn down the lights
To enhance all your senses
Try to ignore other peoples expectations
Try to ignore other peoples expectations
Redirect your energies
Redirect your energies
You gotta feel the love
You gotta feel the love
MY FRIEND
Hello my friend it’s good to see you
I hope you’re hanging in alright
Let me know what you’ve been up to
And what’s happening in your life
Hold on – to everything you own
Soon you’re gonna have to let it all go
Strangely lately I’ve been thinking
About the way you changed your mind
About all the nights we went out drinking
And all the different ways we would get high
Hold on – to everything you know
Soon you’re gonna have to let it all go
I wish I’d known how much you loved her
I wish you’d known how much I cared
Well, I was younger then, but I’ve heard
You finally found yourself somewhere
Hold on to everything you’ve sown
Soon you’re gonna have to let it all go
TIME OF NO TIME
Population reduction
By chemical seduction
An illusive delusion
Or the final solution
The Georgia Guidestone
A post cultural tombstone
Or just massconfusion
Well, draw your own conclusion
What have you done to our poor planet earth
What have you done to our lives
What have you done to our poor planet earth
What have you done to our lives
This is the time of, no time is right now
This is the time of no time, it’s right now
Standing on the outpost
On the edge of a sealed universe
Waiting for the soft kill
Or the descending god oracle
The raven is coming
End of transmission
The raven is coming
End of transmission
Love is the answer, it’s all that you’ll find
Singing the song of the psyche
Love is the answer it’s all that you’ll find
Singing the song of the psyche
This is the time of – no, time is right now…
This is the time of no time, it’s right now…
WILLIAM
Mit liv er på standby
Jeg kokser bare rundt
Og leder efter ord
Der kan lede mig på sporet
Men tiden den står stille
Imens jeg venter på et tegn
En søgen efter sandhed
Eller en pige’s blide kys
Lader min hjerne gå på rov
Nedad spinkle trappeskakter
Og skumle krinkelkroge
Der hvor sindets væv det blomstrer
Jeg tegner stirrende øjne
På et ark af min bevidsthed
Små maskiner med propeller
Der skriger efter kærlighed
Gådefulde portrætter
Af urolige sjæle
Og vingeløse fugle
Som i et glimt af en drøm
Der er mere jeg vil sige
Så tag og vis mig lidt tålmodighed
Og vent på at jeg siger til
Før du siger fra
Der er en brændende labyrint
Et minde om en fortid
En ætsende smerte
Som en meningsløs historie
Jeg håber du forstår
At tiden løber ud
Der er ikke mere at gøre
Alting falder fra hinanden
Og mørket tager os alle
Bare giv mig fire år
Til at skrive enden nær
Bare giv mig lidt afstand
I min håbløse tilstand
Red min verden fra at brænde
Hvis du viser mig din vrede
Så kaster du benzin på bålet
Det er så let for mig at flygte
Når jeg har ryggen op imod muren
Der er mere jeg vil sige
Så tag og lån mig din opmærksomhed
Det er så svært at få det sagt
Men du skal vide at jeg har ret
Jeg ville ønske jeg var maler
Så ku’ jeg bo i en skurvogn
Finde ro for enden af vejen
Et øjeblik og alt er stilhed
Folk der taler om anstændighed
Og lytter himlen ud af ørene
Skal forbigåes i tavshed
Indtil den allersidste afsked
Jeg er så træt af jeres løgne
Venter på at olien tørrer
Teen varmer mine vintre
Sulten sjæl vil gerne sælges
En elektrisk cigaret
Kaster gløder efter månen
De sølvgrå hvirvler bliver til fisk
Og Dylan bliver lidt blå i tonen
Der er mere jeg vil sige
Du må tilgive at jeg væver
Det er kun fordi jeg ved
At verden ender, vinden vender
Et øjeblik og alt er borte
MENNESKETVILLING
Violinerne synger deres sidste kor
Mens du ser den anden vej
En Verden er bygget af formløse ord
Der strømmer lige igennem dig
Der findes ingen landkort her
Men du er ikke alene
Selvom du føler dig strandet her
Og det er ved at blive sent
Du hører stemmer hviske dit navn
De byder dig velkommen
Binder gummibånd om dine ben
Du prøver at huske hvorfor du kom
Mennesketvilling, vi har savnet dig
Vi er så glade for at se dig igen
Vi lægger dig forsigtigt ned
Skubber dig tilbage i dit sind
FORTUNE TELLER
Well, once I had me a woman who kept me on my knees
Her kisses felt like torture but she taught me to say please
Talking about love
A fortune teller told me not to worry about my past
I was standing out in the alley and my heart was beating fast
Talking about love
He said, you can spread it all around you just like flower seeds
Or you can keep it all to yourself like it’s some kind of disease
Talking about love
Well, if you fear it more than you want it then it will turn right into hate
So you better watch your step that’s what the fortune teller said
Talking about love
TAKE IT
If your surroundings are too predictable
And everybody always say just what they should
If too much safety makes you feel uncomfortable
And you can never do what you wish you could
Anything you need
In any way you please, girl –
You’re gonna have to take it
If you feel like you’re unforgetable
And other people think you’re unexceptional
If your love feels unconditional
And everybody treat you so transitional
Anything you want
You can have it all, girl –
But you’re gonna have to take it
If they tell you that you just can’t have it all
And you believe them then you can’t, it’s logical
If you expect to lose your selfcontrol
Taking chances might not seem so unnatural
Anything you need
In anyway you please, girl –
You’re gonna have to take it
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
You fill me up with dead end doubt
The games you play they count me out
I wonder what it’s all about
Cause all the words you choose
They don’t have no use
Unless you open up your heart
To see right through my candid lies
You were born with x-ray eyes
It’s in your stars to know what’s right
But all my promises
They are meaningless
If you don’t open up your heart
I would walk a million miles
Following your secret signs
Leading to some piece of mind
I’m not second guessed
But I’ll find no rest
Untill you open up your heart
EMILY
Emily – she’s nobody’s girl
Emily – more loved than anyone in this world
No man owns her heart, body, mind or soul
Emily – she lets everybody know
Emily – she likes her music loud
Emily – she always stands out in any crowd
With her eyes closed she dances on her own
Emily – she lets everybody know
Emily – her love is so loose and free
Emily – she likes to hang with guys like me
Someday I’ll want to make her mine and take her home
Emily – she lets everybody know
LAUGHING STOCK
I’m not listening to you, I think I’ve heard enough
Cuz you’re so full of yourself, you pretentious little fuck
I don’t wanna be your laughing stock
I’m not gonna be your laughing stock
I’m gonna shut you up
All the lies you tell they never make much sense
But that’s your own private hell of cause and consequence
I don’t wanna be your laughing stock
I’m not gonna be your laughing stock
I’m gonna shut you up
I think you’re full of shit you selfrighteous little bluff
Now when the joke is on you, you don’t seem to be so tough
I don’t wanna be your laughing stock
I’m not gonna be your laughing stock
I’m gonna fuck you up
COUNTDOWN TO BREAKDOWN
From the outside my flat looks empty despite the electric glow
Of television static blue light flicker from my windows
Mr. Clock is just hanging around making that awful sound
Countdown to breakdown
There’s a sign hanging on my door, if you enter and you’ll turn to dust
There’s no peace or harmony here, there’s no fucking love
Mr. Clock is just hanging around making that awful sound
Countdown to breakdown
Somebody elses past on my wall in a picture frame I’ve found
My life’s a dead end destiny but I’m stuck in here and now
Mr. Clock is still hanging around, making that awful sound
Countdown to breakdown
CHANGES EVERYWHERE
I try, try, try
Every single day I try so hard to find my way
I live to find my fate among the shadows or in the shade
But I’ve been waiting for too long
Every chance they get the demons scream inside my head
I’ve tried to kill them dead but I can’t make myself forget
Because I’ve been waiting for too long
Changes in me and all around me
With or without me, with or me without me
I try, try, try
Everywhere I go I look for answers in the cards
But the rain inside my heart is pulling the strings around my stars
And I’ve been waiting for too long
I try, try, try
HOLLOW GROVE
There is a story I’ve been told
On my journey down this very road
About a secret path where no man goes
It’s gonna take me down to Hollow Grove
Through a gate of trees and into an unknown
Where the stars they seem to fall like snow
And the moonlight paints the forest gold
I wanna take you down to Hollow Grove
We could escape into a dream
And become fantastic memories
Let your childhood fantasies unfold
And let me take you down to Hollow Grove
Let’s go find some magic stones
And create a circle all our own
With not a darkness in our souls
We can make it down to Hollow Grove
NO MAS
Now girl, I used to think you looked like the cover of a magazine
But I found out you’re just a control freak taking all your selfhatred out on me
Now I’m making my way, I don’t need your love no more
Yeah I’m moving on, I don’t need your love more
I gotta get away, I don’t need your love no more
No mas, no mas!
Girl, I think your definition of love is downright sick
Cuz you’re a borderline skizophrenic and a closet anorectic bitch
Now I’m making my way, I don’t need your love no more
Yeah, I’m moving on, I don’t need your love more
I gotta get away, I don’t need your love no more
No mas, no mas!
Girl, the only one you ever really loved is yourself
So go on now and cry cry cry like a little child if you think it helps
I’ll be making my way – I don’t need your love no more
I can’t take it anymore girl, I don’t need your love no more
I’m getting outta here, I don’t need your love no more
No mas, no mas!
MIKITA
Someone said they saw you with another guy in town
I said don’t worry about it but it really brought me down
There’s no cure or medication
For the longing in my heart
Baby, you and I have been too long apart
I meet a lot of girls, babe and they all give me something new
But my life feels like a prison until I make it home to you
There’s no cure or medication
For the longing in my heart
Baby, you and I have been too long apart
SCORPIO
She’s a scorpio – her chestnut eyes grow darker in the night
She’s a scorpio – her tail end stings and her black pussy bites
She’s a scorpio – that’s her sign
She’s a scorpio – to me she feels just right
She’s a scorpio – her amazon kiss it feels just like a fire
She’s a scorpio – her emerald skin it preaches when she rides
Scorpio is rising in my blood
I’m telling you, that girl she just can’t get enough
She’s a scorpio – her spiderfingers make me feel like crying
She’s a scorpio – she blows my soul and stops my thoughts from dying
She’s a scorpio – that’s her sign
She’s a scorpio – to me she feels just right
Scorpio is rising in my blood
I’m telling you, that girl she just can’t get enough
SECRET OF THE TWISTED FLOWER
Here’s another thought – everything you think you know your fantasies all wrapped in plastic
Here’s another thought- despite the lies that you’ve been told your reality is so elastic
Now you know, nobody to love but everyone
now you know, nobody to love but everyone
Here’s another thought – everything you say you feel is only temporary
Here’s another thought – your static faith ideal belief is just imaginary
Now you know, nobody to love but everyone
now you know, nobody to love but everyone
Here’s another thought – everything you eat is wrong and no visions pierce your primal mind
Here’s another thought – that you’ll be lost before too long your panic rises like a tide
Now you know, nobody to love but everyone
now you know, nobody to love but everyone
THE RIVER
A loop of stars outside my window
transmission from earth’s satellites
my velvet curtains flash in dayglo
the river flows within my mind
A thousand flowerstems have gathered
behind the lids of both my eyes
like a sacred seed of soul and matter
the river flows within my mind
The ceiling swirls a cyrcled rainbow
unfolding spiral patterned skies
the room it lingers in the afterglow
the river flows within my mind
As I turn my head in wonder
I feel the breath of butterflies
just like the sound of distant thunder
the river flows within my mind
I seep through cracks between the shadows
uncover worlds that burst with life
angelic whores with wings and halos
the river flows within my mind
All the ancient temples built on quicksand
to praise the holy gods of light
who guard the threshold of a dreamland
the river flows within my mind
A travelling caravan of daydreams
settled on the edge of time
like the dust that shimmers around a moonbeam
the river flows within my mind
The neon city lights are breaking
the last descendant of our tribe
a new dawn awaits my overtaking
the river flows within my mind
SOMEONE TO LOVE
I think I’ve seen your face before somewhere
I hope I’m gonna see it some more around here
You gimme good vibrations
It feels like a sensation
Could it be you need someone to love?
If you’re lost in the circles of your mind
And if you sometimes feel there should be more to life
Searching for salvation
Getting only damnation
Could it be you need someone to love?
If you feel like you’re running out of time
Baby, I’d be yours if only you’d be mine
If you long for elevation
Let’s find a higher foundation
Could it be you need someone to love?
Every time you get up they’re gonna knock you down
You can’t make it stop, you ought to know by now
That life is no illusion
Just a state of confusion
Could it be you need someone to love?
I’M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE
You can ask me if I’ve taken
Some chances in my time
While my words might be mistaken
The truth does serve me right
And I’m gonna make you mine
You can ask any fortune teller
To read between the lines
You’re my shadow Cinderella
And it’s written in your eyes
I’m gonna make you mine
You can ask the stones I’ve gathered
If they could ever tell a lie
And if anything ever mattered
It’s a love that just don’t die
And I’m gonna make you mine
LET YOURSELF GO
Drifting through your everchanging dreamplane
Stuck in the mud as your tears they fall like rain
Make yourself a believer
make yourself a receiver
Yeah – you know
You gotta let yourself go
Shifting into the slipstream of the fast lane
Stuck in the mud as it all comes back again
Slipping into the looking glass of your mind’s eye
Stuck in the mud as you feel like you’re gonna die
TWILIGHT PRINCESS
She changes her face almost daily
Keeping her name a second guess
Voicing her presence here lately
A twilight princess
She lives in a room with no mirrors
Selling her soul for more or less
Lost in the turmoil of a fever
A twilight princess
She dances the dark away wildly
Treading a mile above the mess
So perfectly twisted and unlikely
A twilight princess
LILITH
Face your horizon
And watch it all dissolve
Change your tomorrow
And let your now evolve
Don’t feed the demons
You have buried in your past
Just know your future freedom
Is coming down so fast
Lilith
All mistakes forgiven
All wrongs turned into rights
Free from all the darkness
That cluttered up your mind
Just teach yourself to listen
To the promises you make
And know that if you keep them
Your love don’t fade away
Lilith
Sweep yesterdays shadows
Like dark clouds from your sight
Clear away the tombstones
You’ve drawn inside your eyes
Gone but not forgotten
You can run, but you can’t hide
Release yourself from your longing
And walk into the light
Lilith
IN YOUR LIFE
Feel the changes on your mind
See the sun on the rise
Did you ever feel so good before in your life?
Clouds unfolding in the sky
Right before your eyes
Did you ever feel so good before in your life?
Can’t you hear that whisper in the wind?
Can’t you see your destiny is mine?
Don’t you know I’d give you anything?
If only you would let me live in your life
A love that makes you feel so high
Flowing through you tonight
Did you ever feel so good before in your life?
CHASING RAINBOWS
You can’t make me feel any smaller
So why do you try?
You can’t bring me down any longer
You can’t make me cry
There’s a war going on
And there’s a riot inside my mind
I’ve seen the writing on the wall
I’m gonna set this town on fire
Because you make me feel like I don’t belong
And I ain’t done you no wrong
Just chasing rainbows
The streets are paved with cinder
All over this town
All the bricks have been picked from the ground
And thrown all around
You can’t make me change my ways
It’s like I’ve already died
You can’t keep holding me down
Or make me change my mind
Well, this city has made me a stranger
With no place to go
And I feel like a crime and a danger
Acting on my own
There’s a war going on
And there’s a riot inside my mind
I’ve seen the writing on the wall
I’m gonna set your world on fire
NO MORE DARKNESS
I don’t believe a word you’re saying
And I don’t get those games you’re playing
I really wish you could tell me why
You keep me so unsatisfied
I don’t need no more darkness baby
When I get that silent treatment
It makes me feel like you’re you’re gonna leave me
Why do you keep me hanging on?
Why are you stringing me along?
I don’t need no more darkness baby
DARK TWIN
All of our days they just go by
Waiting for a chance to get love right
But all of our hearts are filled with lies
The truth is love it changes like the tide
All of the promise in your eyes
The trail of broken dreams you’ve left behind
All of our hearts are filled with lies
The truth is love is dared or it’s denied
Clouds are drifting through my mind
But everywhere I look I see your smile
I’m a tortured soul who keeps on dying
Drowning in that lake of tears I’m crying
All of our lives we burn in strife
Fighting for a chance to get love right
But all of our hearts are filled with lies
The truth is love it lives, it never dies
RENEGADE SOUL
Can’t you hear the raven closing in?
Can’t you hear it calling time and again?
The end is getting nearer
Could it be any clearer?
Every man for himself
You’re on your own – renegade soul
Elektra speaks her mind to everyone
She draws a golden circle around the sun
When tomorrows hurricanes have flown
You can thank your lucky stars that you’ve known
MADNESS OF YOUR OWN MAKING
It’s nature’s way
There’s a point of no return
For all of the love in your heart you’ve forsaken
It’s nature’s way
There’s a lesson you should learn
While all of the life in your blood is still aching
And I – I think you will see to your own undertaking
By all of the madness of your own making
It’s nature’s way
Of letting you know
There once was a truth but you stopped believing
It’s nature’s way
Of letting you go
You once had a use but you stopped receiving
MICRODOT
You used to feel like a grain of sand
On the winds of time
A dusty pile of memories
Inside your fragile mind
This is what you’ve been waiting for
All your sorry life
You’ve found the center of the universe
Right behind your eyes
And all in you has changed
You used to feel like a microdot
The sum of all your fears
You were so concerned with what you were not
But now your mind is clear
And all in you is change
You used to feel like a falling leaf
A candle burning out
You could have reached for eternity
But at least you’ve come to now
And all in you has changed
You used to feel like a setting sun
Like a burnt out fire
Now when it seems gthat your time has come
You couldn’t get much higher
And all in you is change
BORDERLINE
They say the world is getting smaller
But your garden gates are growing taller
You and all your self-fulfilling prophecies of war are willing
All your hatred and how you’ve played it
And all the time you’ve just plain wasted
Selling out your decency
The truth it hurts but will it set you free?
We’re headed for the third world war and no one’s asking what it’s for
Will the blood for money machinery be the end of all humanity?
More surveillance, secret camera, triggers all my paranoia
Alienation, condemnation, media manipulation
Borderline is getting nearer, apocalyptic vision clearer
It’s by no means a judgement daydream
Things are never just what they seem
Fluctuation has no end but this time it just all makes sense
Your loss of freedom will make you see
Or put an end to all your misery
We’re headed for the borderline
You’ve really gone too far this time
We’re headed for the borderline
You’ve really gone too far this time
HOBBITTENS DRØM
Hvis du tror at lykken er til salg
Hvis du tror at skæbnen er et valg
Så kom og lad dig svømme hen
Og lad mig være din bedste ven
På vand brød og te
Kærlighed og lsd
Hvis du tror mine øjne kun kan se
Hvis du tror at min stemme kun kan le
Så tag og lyt til mig igen
Alting er så frit og nemt
På vand brød og te
Kærlighed og lsd
Hvis du tror at døden er en dom
Hvis du tror at livet er en drøm
Vågn op og se på dagens lys
Kan du mærke solens kys
Og vand brød og te
Kærlighed og lsd
WHAT YA GONNA DO?
Don’t you think it’s about time you made up your doubting mind?
Will you face the facts or fight?
What ya gonna do?
What ya gonna do when you find that the next in line is you?
Baby, it’s you
It’s the point of no return, do you think you’ll ever learn?
Play with fire and you’ll get burned
What ya gonna do?
What ya gonna do when you find that the next in line is you?
Baby, it’s you
FOUND MY WAY OUT
There’s a storm a coming
A hard rain’s a gonna fall
I feel it in my fingers
I see the writing on the wall
Got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I just wasn’t made for these times
There’s an earthquake rumbling
I feel it under my feet
I swear my eyes have seen the blood
Flowing down the street
Got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I just wasn’t made for these times
I’m telling you baby
Let there be no doubt
That if you never see my again
Then you’ll know I’ve found my way out
Tell me when it’s over
Tell me when the storm has passed
The blood is up to my knees now baby
And the tide is rising fast
Got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I just wasn’t made for these times
KITTY GALORE
Baby, when you shake your hips I really dig it
I bet those lollipop lips they know just how to lick it
I need a little loving, baby
So come on and give me some yeah
You know that I need you honey
You can tell by the look in my eyes
I’d give you all of my money
If I had any baby – would you make me feel right?
When you move that ass my eyes are moving with it
I’d like to take it for a ride but I can’t afford the ticket
I need a little loving, baby
So come on and give me some
NO OTHER GIRL
I should have known right from the start
A girl like you could only break my heart
I should have known when you were untrue
But there was nothing I could do
When we were through
That’s when I knew
There’s no other girl like you
Well, you know I’ve tried so many times
To erase it from my mind
I should have known you would make me blue
But now there’s nothing I can do
My heart’s been broken for so long
But there ain’t no sunshine when you’re gone
My soul’s been owned and done wrong
But there ain’t no sunshine when you’re gone
I should have known it was all a game
Your kind of love drives a man insane
I should have known you would make me blue
But now there’s nothing I can do
LIGHTS ARE CHANGING
Too many people don’t know how to set free
They’re spending all their lives buying all kinds of shit they don’t need
If you know what I mean
But the lights are changing
Now is the time
There is not a doubt in my mind
Knowing that you’re mine…
Every time I turn on my TV
There’s a man talking about the world of the free
But I don’t think he means you and me
You and me, we see things so differently
Baby, you and me, we see things so differently
If you know what I mean
GROWING YOUNGER
Do you know what’s happening?
It’s like a supernova in your mind
Well, the change is in you
It’s like a flashing lantern in your eyes
Don’t you worry, it’s alright
Don’t be sorry, you’ll do fine
You’re growing younger all the time
Well, it ain’t no secret
It’s like a guiding lighthouse in the dark
Everybody knows it
It’s like a twisted flower in your heart
Your heart is beating, it’s alright
Keep on breathing, it’s alright…
ALL OVER NOW
People try to push me and put me down
I can’t ever find out what it’s all about
They call me a loser, a freak and a clown
Had it up to here, man – but it’s all over now
It used to feel right with you hanging around
But I heard the way you’re talking about me all over town
If you can’t get with it, get off of my cloud
Two’s a crowd, babe – it’s all over now
You ain’t gonna tell me how to live no more
It’s all over now, it’s all over now
You ain’t got the hold on me you had before
It’s all over now, it’s all over now yeah
Sometimes I wish there was an easy way out
I’d be gone by tomorrow without a doubt
If you can’t live with me, you can do without
Take a look around, babe – it’s all over now
CHEMICAL BUZZ
Don’t try to tell me what’s not right
That kind of thing is just a state of mind
Don’t talk to me about natural highs
I’m a one track mind kind of guy
Chemical buzz
Don’t try to tell me what’s not real
I’ve seen it all and it’s no big deal
This kind of kick doesn’t lose its appeal
So let me tell you how it makes me feel
Chemical buzz
Don’t try to tell me what’s not true
I ain’t gonna do what you want me to do
This world is full of people just like you
You play the game that you were born to lose
Chemical buzz
CHRISTINE
There’s something about the way you move
In your denim dress and your leather boots
You’re like a habit I just can’t kick
I’m flipping candy till it makes me sick
Christine – you’re the sweetest girl I’ve ever seen
There’s something about the way you smile
With your electric cool and your cocaine eyes
You’re like a habit I just can’t kick
I’m flipping candy till it makes me sick
Christine – you’re the sweetest girl I’ve ever seen
DO RIGHT
So you say you wanna live like there’s no tomorrow
So you say you’re getting rid of all the pain and sorrow
But if you don’t free your mind
You might as well be doing time
It’s your life, do what you want and you’re gonna do right
So you say you got soul, but you just can’t fake it
That a heart is a heart and that I just can’t break it
You can talk all you want for a million reasons
Blame your mom and your dad and the changing seasons
BORN TO LOSE
Prophets talk about the end of the world
They say it’s gonna be soon
But every end that’s gonna get you down babe
Is gonna get me down too
We were born to lose
When I was a kid I thought the world looked so strange
From my point of view
I never thought there was anybody like me
But now I know it ain’t true
We were born to lose
And some of us were born to play the blues
I met a girl that I could love all my life
She makes me feel so good
I try to tell her all the things that make her smile
To make her feel good too
But we were born to lose
We’re all gonna die now
ROSES
So now you’re asking who stole your freedom
When the truth is you gave it away
You’ve been selling yourself short
And now you’re dragging your ball and chain
You’re building your own cage
Laying roses on your own grave
You can tell your girlfriend to snuff it
And then convince yourself how you’ve changed
Well, it’s just another nail in your coffin
If you think it’s all just a game
You can make your way to the window
See what tomorrow holds in store
But it’s just like chasing your shadow
If you think it’s not your own fault
NOBODY KNOWS
Don’t you know, there’s no place I can go
It’s like I’m stuck on a merry-go-round
Can’t you see what it’s doing to me?
It’s like the whole thing is getting me down
Around and around it goes
How to make it stop, nobody knows
Grains of sand, cigarette in my hand
Time is running, but I’ve run out of time
No way out, better deal with the doubtful revolution
Blowing my mind
Rising sun, my TV is turned on
Looks like I’m in for another spin
Turned out right, better turn out the lights
But all this turning is doing me in
LOVE COMES DOWN
Through the woods of nowhere fast
Shattered dreams and broken glass
The seeker said your die is cast today
Out of the circle that clouds your mind
Through the shadows and into light
Hear those sweeping voices cry your name
Love comes down
And lets you know the truth
Love comes down on you
Into the mindfields of your own past
Your lotus wheel it spins so fast
The seeker said your love will last in vain
HONEYDRIPPER
I’ve gotta find myself a honeydripper
I’ve gotta get myself some jelly roll
I’m gotta find myself a fingerlicker
I’ve gotta get myself a mojo bone
Honeydripper – won’t you set me free?
Honeydripper – won’t you let me be your honeybee?
I’ve gotta get myself some satisfaction
I’ve gotta get myself some energy
Man is a sucker for fuck action
I’ve gotta find myself some gasoline
DISCONNECTED
You know, people try to tell me that I’m no good
Because I do what I want and not what I should
It’s not my fault that I don’t belong
It’s the world around me that’s got it all wrong now
Well, I got a reputation as an angry young man
Because I never fit into the master plan
It’s not my problem if you can’t understand
I’m disconnected and I don’t give a damn now
Well, from my point of view all your wrongs are right
Because you build you truth on a pack of lies
A worthless recluse with a one-track mind
Or just a burning soul way ahead of my time now
POURING WATER
What’s that look in your eyes, baby?
Don’t you know that a man is all I am?
Can’t you see I’m trying, baby?
I do the best I can
You’re pouring water on a drowning man
You’ve got me down on my knees baby
Trying to take your hand
Well. I’m begging you please
Why can’t you understand?
You’re pouring water on a drowning man
HEY! You got a lock on my heart and the key to my soul
Set me free and I’ll never let you go
There’s just one thing I’ve gotta let you know
You’re bringing me down, you’re hurting me so….
What are you trying to prove baby?
Why can’t you understand?
Who are you trying to fool, baby?
I do the best I can
HIPPIE CHICK
Here she comes waving her golden hair
She’s got her head in the clouds
Her trip lasted two thousand years
And her feet they still don’t touch the ground
Here she comes, just nineteen or twentyone
She wears a smile on her face
Her eyes are brighter than the sun
A million light years away
Take this fuzzy halo, baby
And wear it like a crown
The earth beneath your feet is shaking
Going round and round
Why don’t you come on down?
EVERYTHING’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
How many times did you feel like you were wrong when you were right?
How many times did you feel like you were being fed a lie?
How many times did you feel like you can make it if you try?
Go on try – everything’s gonna be alright
How many times did you feel that you were down when you were getting high?
How many times did you feel like you were gone and outta sight?
How many times did you feel like you had to live before you die?
That’s life – everything’s gonna be alright
How many times did you feel like you were always sad and blue?
How many times did you feel like somebody tells you what to do?
How many times did you feel like you had nothing left to loose?
But that ain’t true – everything’s gonna be alright
CARRIE
It feels like I am counting
To reach a million years
Awaiting every second
Just the moment it appears
My life is but a daydream
A blue star diamond tear
Imagining a moonbeam
And wishing you were here
Oh, Carrie – why did you go?
Oh, Carrie – I miss you so
Oh, Carrie, I can’t make it on my own
I can’t go on
Once in a dream I saw you
Collecting butterflies
I secretly adored you
Wishing you were mine
MONEY FOR SOUL
Hey little girl is your heart made of steel?
You know how to suck dick but you don’t know how to feel
You’ve got pearls from your head to your heels
But the sparks in your eyes they look so unreal…
Oh, no, no, no – you can’t trade your money for soul
Hey mister phoney suit and tie
With your high fashion looks and your plastic smile
Did you think you could run and hide?
Then pay me back some other time
Oh, no, no, no – you can’t trade your money for soul…
Hey little girl is your heart made of stone?
I know your daddy paid for every little thing you own
You would die for all your silver and gold
While your love for me is so hard and cold
No, no, no, no – you can’t trade your money for soul
NEVER COMING BACK
Well, you talk me down in front of my friends
And you push me around again and again
I made up my mind girl, this is the end
I’m walking out that door
I ain’t never coming back no more.
Well, you set me up and try to blow my cool
Mess around behind my back like I’m some kind of fool
Well, I made up my mind, got news for you
I’m walking out that door
I ain’t never coming back no more.
Well, you can stop all your crying, they’re just crocodile tears
I found my bags and I’ve packed my gear
I made up my mind, I’m getting out of here
I’m walking out that door
I ain’t never coming back no more.
YOU OWN IT
Well, it ain’t no secret
Everybody knows how I feel
It ain’t no secret
Everybody knows my love is real
Well, you can take anything you want from me
Because you really own it
Well, you can take anything you want from me
Because you really own it, baby!
I always had a hungry heart
And a thirsty soul
I always had a hungry heart
And a thirsty soul now
Well, it’s about time
It’s about time we got together
Yeah, you and I –
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta!
Because you really own it
Gotta, gotta!
Because you really own it baby
YOU BETTER RUN
You better watch out
Because there’s a deeper truth
You better watch out
Karma’s gonna get to you
I guess you better run, run, run, run
And don’t look back
Yes, you better run, run, run. Run
And wipe out your tracks
You better watch out
Don’t talk to anybody else
You better watch out
Start thinking about yourself
You better watch out
Your paranoia meter is in the red
You better watch out
You should have listened once to what I said
ROLLERCOASTER
Won’t you take me for a ride
Because I feel like getting high
You can’t beat that 4/4 time
Because it makes me feel alright
Won’t you make it slip and slide
Because I feel like getting high
You can’t beat that 4/4 time
Because it makes me feel alright
VOLCANO
Suck on my nipples baby
Make me feel like I’m gonna explode
My body is trembling
And I’m feeling like I’m gonna burst and blow
I’m ready to go
I’m ready to go
Well, you sure turn me on
I feel like a volcano
Let me touch you baby
Send a chill down your spine
I said you’ve gotta let me touch you baby
I’ve gotta make you mine, all mine
Come and get some more
Come and get some more
NO WAY OUT
Ain’t no sense in trying baby
You know where it’s at
Ain’t no sense in crying baby
Makes you feel to bad
No, girl you’re on your own
No way out
Got no need for reasons baby
It’s all over now
There’s a change of seasons baby
Coming anyhow
I ain’t got nowhere to run to baby
I ain’t got nowhere to hide
I’m running around in circles baby
I’m running out of time
BABY BLOWS
Tell me if you can feel it
The soft chill down your spine
The sweet taste on your tongue baby
Not so easily defined
Baby Woodrose blows your mind
Baby Woodrose blows your mind
Tell me if you can see it
The spiral ceilings so out of sight
And the walls are just reflections
Of your own mind’s design
WHAT A BURN
You get a lip because they think they know
What’s best for you and I baby
They’re so afraid of the truth
They’re gonna try to sell you one big pack of lies, baby
You’ve had your turn
And now it’s mine, what a burn
You get a feeling that you’re someone
Deep inside your soul, buddy
Then you get put down by everybody else
Because they think you’re a nobody
You get a buzz from the city fuzz
Because you’re on the wrong kind of dope, man
You get the eye from the girls on the side
Because you’re playing in a rock’n’roll band
CAUGHT IN A WHIRL
Did you think your life would turn and change, girl
Or did you think it just could stay the same, girl
Did you find you just got caught in a whirl?
Did you think you’d get so carried away, girl
Now do you wanna leave or do you wanna stay, girl
Did you find you just got caught in a whirl?
Did you think you’d get a second chance, girl
Or did lift your mind into the dance, girl
Did you find you just got caught in a whirl?
PANDORA
Don’t you ever feel like you wanna
But you just can’t let it go now
Don’t you wanna take a look inside?
Don’t you wanna know now?
Don’t you feel like letting yourself go, Pandora?
Go, go Pandora!
Don’t you feel like letting your mind blow, Pandora?
You know, everybody’s talking
They’re saying you’ve got a brand new man
You get kicks from your fix
You get washed in the blood of the lamb
SPINNING WHEELS OF FIRE
Won’t you try to understand?
The situation’s getting out of hand
Because every time I close my eyes
All I see is spinning wheels of fire
Once I tried to open it up
Pandora’s box, a dream of talking clock
Once I tried to keep them shut
I wanna look but I’d really rather not
LIVING A DREAM
Take your time to define your reality
Close your eyes and slip into the stream
Can’t you see, Tambourine?
You’re living a dream
Watch the colours unfold on your tapestry
Red and blue, orange, yellow, green
Your gatefold world is splitting in the seams
So close your eyes and slip into the stream
FLAMINICA
Have you seen her hair?
It’s like a river of air about to overrun
Have you seen her eyes?
The way they sparkle and shine
In the glint of the sun
Have you heard her talk?
Have you seen the way she walks?
Have you seen her face?
It’s soft as feathers and lace
And hard as leather and pain
Do you know her name?
It’s in a constant change
And never quite the same
Have you seen her smile?
You know she makes me feel alright
Have you seen her lips?
They taste so sweet when they kiss
There is no doubt in my mind
Have you felt her touch?
It’s like it burns too much
But you know it hurts so fine
Have you seen her eyes?
They make me feel like I’m on fire
I can’t stand her love
Makes me feel like I’m burning up
MAYA
Well, I’ve been watching your reflection
In the dark and shattered glass
I’ve been searching for dimension
In the glimpses of your past
The times you’ve had
They won’t come back
But still you can’t be sad
Don’t you know I love you so?
Now you’re so close to perfection
But you know it cannot last
Well, you’ve sure got my attention
Through the dark and shattered glass
GET WHAT YOU GIVE
No time to lose
It’s not too late and it’s not too soon
If you wanna live
Do you get what you give?
Do you get what you give?
Right here, right now, everybody
Right here, right now, everybody gotta live
If you wanna live
No time to lose
If you wanna live
It’s not too late and it’s not too soon
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
KARA LYNN
Kara Lynn, why don’t you
Turn around and walk right out on him?
You know it’s not too late, Kara Lynn
Kara Lynn, why don’t you
Pack your stuff and run away from him?
Because you can’t stay the same
But you’ve still got time to change, Kara Lynn
Kara Lynn, why don’t you
Turn around and walk right out on him?
Your love can still be saved, Kara Lynn
You’ve still got time to start all over again
Kara Lynn, don’t think twice, not this time
Kara Lynn, don’t look back, you’re gonna be just fine
Yeah, you’re gonna be alright now baby
But you better hide your tears and all your sorrow
There is no other way
You know what’s here today can be gone tomorrow
RIGHT TO GET HIGH
Hey, Mister Man
You’ve got your head in a jam
Now don’t get me wrong
But what kind of dope are you on?
That crazy look in your eyes
I’m sure you blew your mind
It’s gonna be alright, man
It’s gonna be alright
Because you’ve got a right to get high
Hey Mister Man
Just get me back in the van
We gotta drive all night
One hell of a ride
Six hundred miles
That’s a ten hour drive
So get me back on time
To do the twentyfives
MIND AND SOUL
She knows she reads your eyes
Like signs in stone
She knows she leaves herself
Inside you when she goes
Mind and soul
She grows, but she never really dies
She just unfolds
She flows, you never can be sure she’s yours alone
Mind and soul
She’s as innocent as a little girl
And so experienced that
She could tell all the world
She knows, a look into her eyes
And then you’re home
She’s old, but she’s younger
Every time you see her go
Mind and soul
NOBODY SPOIL MY FUN
Baby, what are you gonna do
When the time has come for you to choose?
Baby what are you gonna do
When you find you’re the one who’s gonna lose?
Well, the world is full of people like you
Trying to bring me down
If you’re not gonna let me have my kicks
Just quit your hanging around
Nobody spoil my fun
The things I do you would never try
What I get for free you’ve gotta buy
When I shoot, lord knows I never miss
When I make love to you baby
You just can’t resist
Nobody spoil my fun
