[death tribble]

Adventure seeker on an empty street,

Just an alley creeper, light on his feet

A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt

With the pain and anger can't see a way out,

It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say,

Gotta find me a future move out of my way,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

 

Listen all you people, come gather round

I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground

Just give me what I know is mine,

People do you hear me, just give me the sign,

It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth

Here's to the future for the dreams of youth,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

 

I'm a man with a one track mind,

So much to do in one life time (people do you hear me)

Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies

So I'm living it all, yes I'm living it all,

And I'm giving it all, and I'm giving it all,

It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth,

Here's to the future, hear the cry of youth,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

All the rain came down 

On a cold new town 

As he carried you away 

From your father's hand 

That always seemed like a fist 

Reaching out to make you pay 

 

He came like a hero from the factory floor 

With the sun and moon as gifts 

But the only son you ever saw 

Were the two he left you with 

 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low 

 

Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head 

That you never knew you were young 

Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance 

And the price was far too long 

 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low 

 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low 

 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low 

 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low 

 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low

[death tribble]

It’s If you could feel how I must feel

The winds of quiet change

If you could see what I must see

Still hidden in the rain

But when the thunder rolls

It comes and covers up my soul

 

And you will take my hand

And be with me in wonderland

I am an honest man

I need the love of you

I am a working man

I feel the winter too

 

If you could hear what I must hear

Then nothing would replace

The fifty years of sweat and tears

That never left a trace

But when I look at you

I see you feel the same way too

 

And you will take my hand

And be with me in wonderland

I am an honest man

I need the love of you

I am a working man

I feel the winter too

 

You still remember other days

When every head was high

I watched that pride be torn apart

Beneath a darker sky

With innocence within ourselves

We sing the same old song

 

And you will take my hand

And make believe it’s wonderland

I need the love of you

I am a working man

I feel the winter too

I am an honest man

I need the love of you

I am a working man

I feel the winter too

 

Wonderland, wonderland, wonderland…

[Pariah]

Out last night drinking my favorite cocktail

Woke up this morning feeling awfully low

There is only one thing that will cure me

Coffee and Pepto, drink it down nice and slow

 

I'm not talking Campari and soda

I don't mean scotch and Ny-Quil

He needs that tasty fix

Like oil and water, they don't mix

 

I'm drinking coffee, coffee and Pepto

It's the swingingest drink that you can know

I'm drinking coffee, coffee and Pepto

That crazy pink-ed potion I love so

 

I live next door to my ex

I can hear her having sex

Got to drink so I can sleep

So in my closet I must keep

Pepto

 

I'm drinking coffee, coffee and Pepto

It's the swingingest drink that you can know

I'm drinking coffee, coffee and Pepto

It makes the scene and coats my spleen just so

[Pariah]

I wanna move

My mouth from the rim of my glass onto you

What would you do?

 

I wanna taste

That stupid sexy shy smile that's on your face

What would you say?

 

If I move

And if I say

And if I do

Your perfect world will break

 

'Cause baby when I fall

Baby when I fall

Baby when I fall

I'll take the world with me

 

I wanna know

What you'll say tonight when I ask if I should go

Would you tell me no?

 

I wanna hear

My name in your mouth when your whole world disappears

Whisper in my ear

 

If I know

And if I hear

And if I go

The whole world's gonna hear

 

'Cause baby when I fall

Baby when I fall

Baby when I fall

I'll take the world with me

I'll take the world with me, oh yeah

I'll take the world with me, oh yeah

I'll take the world with me

[Ternaugh]

One more kiss, dear, one more sigh
Only this dear, is goodbye
For our love is such pain and such pleasure
That I'll treasure till I die

 

So for now dear, Aurevoir, madame
But I bow dear, not farewell
For in time we may have a love's glory
Our love story to tell

 

Just as every autumn leaves fall from the tree
Tumble to the ground and die
So in the springtime like sweet memories
They will return as will I

 

Like the sun dear, upon high
We'll return dear, to the sky
And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow
Until tomorrow, goodbye

 

One more kiss dear, one more sigh
Only this dear, is goodbye
For our love is such passion, such pleasure
I will treasure until till I die

 

Like the sun dear, upon high
We'll return dear, to the sky
And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow
Until tomorrow, goodbye

[Pariah]

Last night she ran away

Left a letter by the telephone

She didn't take the time to say goodbye

 

He knows he has to find her

Find a way to make her come back home

She stretched her wings and learned to fly

 

Carmen

Carmen don't you care for me?

Carmen

Carmen don't you care

Carmen don't you care for me?

 

He calls, but there's no answer

Operator, ring it one more time

He thinks of her and shuts his eyes

 

She wears the ring he gave her

Something magic and it once was mine

Will she be thinking of him tonight?

 

Carmen

Carmen don't you care for me?

Carmen

Carmen don't you care

Carmen don't you care for me?

 

He has to find her

Oh, I really miss that girl

He steals into the night

 

He'll go mad without her

I'm so mad about her

 

Carmen

Carmen don't you care for me?

Carmen

Carmen don't you care

Carmen don't you care for me?

 

Carmen

Carmen don't you care for me?

Carmen

Carmen don't you care

Carmen don't you care for me?

Carmen don't you care

Carmen don't you care for me?

What kind of madness rules the world today
What earthly reason holding sway
There is no heaven at all
For some may weep
And some may sleep
While some may rise
And some of us may fall

No one is an island
No one born alone
No man can turn the tide of fortune on his own
Though some may dare to try

Say there but for the grace of God go you my friend
Say there but for the grace of God go I
Go I

And so we live in lives of fantasy
And dream of dreams that hold the key
And we all follow like sheep
We thread the path
That leads to thee
We seek the soul that is not ours to keep

No one is an island
No one born alone
No man can turn the tide of fortune on his own
Though some may bravely try

Say there but for the grace of God go you my friend
Say there but for the grace of God go I
Go I

Across the street the river runs
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running down under cover
Of a helicopter blade

The flames are getting higher
In effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still alive
Somewhere someday
Where they're downing only deer
A hundred steel towns away

Oh, rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words I love you
Rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Photographs and kerosene
Light up my darkness
Light it up
Light it up
I can still feel the touch
Of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley
I've got my eyes all over you, baby
Oh, baby

Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words I love you
Rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Oh, yeah

Oh, I've got lightning in my veins
Shifting like the handle
Of a slot machine
Love may still exist
In another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
No expression on my face

Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words I love you
Rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words I love you
Rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

The rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words I love you rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Memories of things that never happened
These are always the hardest to forget
All the old friends and the loved ones
These are the people you haven't even met
Looking forward into the old days
Looking back at what there will be
There's no reality it's just an illusion
There's no real sanity just plain confusion

How do you feel?
Well I don't know just how I feel
All I know that I love you girl (what is real)
It's so real, so real, surreal

Here we go

There is no single circumstance I never took a final chance
I made it something that you can see and touch forever
I always looked the same from every angle and never cast a shadow
That would change the way you thought about your very being
That what what you were seeing would always be
Would always be
Would always be the truth

How do you feel?
Well I don't know just how I feel
All I know that I love you girl (what is real)
It's so real, so real, surreal
It's so real, so real, surreal
It's so real, so real, surreal
Ooh it's so real, so real, surreal
Oh all right, ahhh!
Well I don't know just how I feel

"We have a tradition of whimsy here at Zevo toys
Dad began that tradition with Milton the Friendly Elephant
And it carries all the way through the new line."

There is no single circumstance I never took a final chance
I made myself a thing that you could see and touch forever
You always looked the same from every angle and never cast a shadow
That would change the way I felt about about your very being
That what what you say would always be
Would always be
Would always be
Would always be the truth

How do you feel?
Well I don't know just how I feel
All I know that I love you girl
It's so real, so real, surreal
All the seasons I have spoken
All the reasons I have rhymed
For the state of incandescence
Just imagine what is real
Simply then the words were spoken
Just imagine what is real

What is real
What is real

[Ternaugh]

Jack, relax
Get busy with the facts
No zodiacs or almanacs
No maniacs in polyester slacks
Just the facts
Gonna kick some Gluteus max
It's a parallax, you dig?
You move around
The small gets big, it's a rig
It's action, reaction
Random interaction
So who's afraid 
Of a little abstraction?
Can't get no satisfaction
From the facts?
You better run, homeboy
A fact's a fact
From Nome to Rome, boy

 

What's the deal, spin the wheel
If the dice are hot, take a shot
Play your cards, show us what you got
What you're holding
If the cards are cold
Don't go folding
Lady Luck is golden
She favors the bold, that's cold
Stop throwing stones
The night has a thousand saxophones
So get out there and rock
And roll the bones
Get busy

[death tribble]

And if it's bad

Don't let it get you down, you can take it

And if it hurts

Don't let them see you cry, you can make it

 

Hold your head up, oh, hold your head up, oh

Hold your head up, oh hold your head high

 

And if they stare

Just let them burn their eyes on you moving

And if they shout

Don't let it change a thing that you're doing

 

Hold your head up, oh, hold your head up, oh

Hold your head up, oh hold your head high

 

Hold your head up, oh, hold your head up, oh

Hold your head up, oh hold your head high

 

And if they stare

Just let them burn their eyes on you moving

And if they shout

Don't let it change a thing that you're doing

 

Hold your head up, oh, hold your head up, oh

Hold your head up, oh

[Pariah]

Once you were in my arms

Feeling so secure

Nothing could go wrong

This sense that I belong

This grand illusion

 

Now I've come to ask you please

I crawl upon my knees

A serpent on the ground

Waiting for the bell to sound

 

See where the wrong began

Imagine if you can

My hedonistic world

Grand master of delusion

 

Now, love has gone to Hell

It disappeared from view

Still under your spell

But one thing I demand from you

 

Gravitas

Just give me dignity

Gravitas

Retract your claws from me

Gravitas

Just give me dignity

 

So, standing on this ledge

I wonder where you are

Are you still alive?

Or did you die inside

Just like me?

 

Go

Oh, dark angel fly

Off into the night

Leave my tainted soul

Don't look left or right

You will see

 

Gravitas

Just give me dignity

Gravitas

Retract your claws from me

Gravitas

Just give me dignity

[death tribble]

Can't you see

I love you

Please don't break my heart in two

That's not hard to do

'Cause I don't have a wooden heart

And if you say goodbye

Then I know that I would cry

Maybe I would die

'Cause I don't have a wooden heart

There's no strings upon this love of mine

It was always you from the start

Treat me nice

Treat me good

Treat me like you really should

'Cause I'm not made of wood

And I don't have a wooden heart

 

Muß i' denn, muß i' denn

Zum Städtele hinaus,

Städtele hinaus

Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier

 

Muß i' denn, muß i' denn

Zum Städtele hinaus,

Städtele hinaus

Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier

 

There's no strings upon this love of mine

It was always you from the start

Sei mir gut

Sei mir gut

Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst

Wie du wirklich sollst

'Cause I don't have a wooden heart

[Greywind]

Why has the music stopped?
Where did all the happy people go?
I know they were there, songs everywhere
Only a moment ago.
I only blinked my eye; and now the world that I used to know
Is changing' on me; why can't it be
Only a moment ago?

Only a moment ago (only a moment ago)
It was spring and I was singin'
Only a moment ago
I could see where the road would lead
And what tomorrow was bringin'

Hey, mister dream-come-true, why did you go and walk out the door
It all went so fast; why couldn't it last
Only a moment more?

Only a moment ago (only a moment ago)
It was spring and I was singin'
Only a moment ago
I could see where the road would lead
And what tomorrow was bringin'

Why has the music stopped? (ahh....)
Where did all the happy people go?
I know they were there (know they were there)
Songs everywhere (songs everywhere)
Only a moment ago
Why has the music stopped?

[Ternaugh]

Do you still keep paper flowers

In the bottom drawer with your Belgian lace

Taking them out every year

To watch the colours fade away

 

Do you still believe in fairy tales

In battlements of shining castles

Safe from the dragons

That lie beneath the hill

 

Are you still a Russian princess

Rescued by a Gypsy dancer

To anyone who'll listen

Is that a story you still tell

 

You live a life of fantasy

Your diary romantic fiction

Can't you see it's hard for me

Can you see what I'm trying to say

 

It's a gentleman's excuse me

So I'll take one step to the side

Can you get it inside your head

I'm tired of dancing

 

For every one step forward

I'm taking two steps back

Can you get it inside your head

I'm tired of dancing

 

I know you still like old-fashioned waltzes

Your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with

As you glide across the floor

But if I told you the music's over

Would you want to hear

That your dance card is empty

That there's no one really there

 

Do you still believe in Santa Claus

There's a millionaire looking for your front door

With a key to a life

That you'd never understand

 

And all I have to offer

Is the love I have it's freely given

You'll see its value

When you see what I tried to say

 

It's a gentleman's excuse me

So I'll do one step to the side

Can you get it inside your head

I'm tired of dancing

[Greywind]

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Taken husbands every one
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?

Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

Every man has a place

In his heart there's a space

And the world can't erase his fantasies

Take a ride in the sky

On our ship, fantasize

All your dreams will come true right away

 

And we will live together

Until the twelfth of never

Our voices will ring forever, as one

 

Every thought is a dream

Rushing by in a stream

Bringing life to the kingdom of doing

Take a ride in the sky

On our ship, fantasize

All your dreams will come true miles away

 

Our voices will ring together

Until the twelfth of never

We all will live love forever, as one

 

Come to see victory

In a land called fantasy

Loving life, a new degree

Bring your mind to everlasting liberty

 

As one, come to see victory

In a land called fantasy

Loving life for you and me

To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

 

You will find other kind

That has been in search of you

Many lives has brought you to

Recognize, it's your life now in review

 

And as you stay for the play

Fantasy has in store for you

A glowing light will see you through

It's your day, shining day

All your dreams come true

 

As you glide in your stride

With the wind as you fly away

Give a smile from your lips and say

I'm free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way

 

Come to see victory

In a land called fantasy

Loving life for you and me

To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

 

You will find other kind

That has been in search of you

Many lives has brought you to

Recognize, it's your life now in review

For awhile to love

was all we could do

we were young and we knew

and our eyes were alive

Deep inside we knew our love was true

For awhile we paid no mind to the past

we knew love would last

Ev'ry night somethin' right

would invite us to begin the dance

 

Somethin' happened along the way

what used to be happy was sad

Somethin' happened along the way

and yesterday was all we had

And oh after the love has gone

how could you lead me on

and not let me stay around

Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone

what used to be right is wrong

Can love that's lost be found

 

For awhile to love each other with all

we would ever need

Love was strong for so long

never knew that what was

wrong oh baby wasn't right

We tried to find what we had

till sadness was all we shared

We were scared this affair would lead our love into

Somethin' happened along the way

yesterday was all we had

Somethin' happened along the way

what used to be happy is sad

 

Somethin' happened along the way

oh yesterday was all we had

And oh after the love has gone

how could you lead me on

and not let me stay around

Oh oh oh after the love has gone

what used to be right is wrong

Can love that's lost be found

 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh after the love has gone

what used to be right is wrong

Can love that's lost be found

Oh woh woh after the love has gone

what used to be right is wrong

Can love that's lost be found

 

Oh woh woh after the love has gone

what used to be right is wrong

Can love that's lost be found

Oh woh woh

Oh woh woh after the love has gone

what used to be right is wrong

Can love that's lost be found

 

Woh woh woh after the love has gone

what used to be right is wrong

Can love that's lost be found

Woh woh woh

The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason
But your love keeps on coming like a thunder bolt
Come here a little closer
Cause I wanna see you baby real close up

 

You got me feelin' hella good
So let's just keep on dancin'
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancin'

 

The performers deserving of standing ovations
And who would have thought it'd be the two of us
So don't wake me if I'm dreamin'
Cause I'm in the mood come on and give it up.

 

You got me feelin' hella good
So let's just keep on dancin'
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancin'

[Pariah]

Heard it from a friend who

Heard it from a friend who

Heard it from another, you've been messing around

They say you've got a boyfriend

You're out late every weekend

They're talking about you, and it's bringing me down

 

But I know the neighborhood

And talk is cheap when the story is good

And the tales grow taller on down the line

But I'm telling you, babe

That I don't think it's true, babe

And even if it is, keep this in mind

 

You take it on the run, baby

If that's the way you want it, baby

Then I don't want you around

I don't believe it

Not for a minute

You're under the gun, so you take it on the run

 

You're thinking up your white lies

You're putting on your bedroom eyes

You say you're coming home, but you won't say when

But I can feel it coming

If you need to make it running

Then you need never look back again

 

You take it on the run, baby

If that's the way you want it, baby

Then I don't want you around

I don't believe it

Not for a minute

You're under the gun, so you take it on the run

 

Heard it from a friend who

Heard it from a friend who

Heard it from another, you've been messing around

[Pariah]

Welcome back, my friends
To the show that never ends.
We're so glad you could attend!
Come inside! Come inside!

There behind a glass
Stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass.
Move along! Move along!

Come inside, the show's about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell, or Earth

You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo.
You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll

Right before your eyes,
We'll pull laughter from the skies
And he laughs until he cries,
Then he dies, then he dies

Soon the Gypsy Queen
In a glaze of Vaseline
Will perform on guillotine
What a scene! What a scene!
Next upon the stand
Will you please extend a hand
To Alexander's Ragtime Band
Dixieland, Dixieland

Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
See the show!

Performing on a stool
We've a sight to make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule
Keep it cool. Keep it cool.

We would like it to be known
The exhibits that were shown
Were exclusively our own,
All our own. All our own.

Come and see the show!
Come and see the show!
Come and see the show!
See the show!

From the plains of Lubbock way down to the coast

The land is filled with people that rock the most

Proud people from Laredo all the way to Corsicana

And San Jacinto, where they defeated Santa Ana

 

From 1836 to 1845

For about ten years, the Republic’s alive

With a solitary star in a field of blue

Everybody learned about it back when you was in school

 

It’s the proud story of a land that’s great

It’s the largest state in the Lower 48

Now Stephen F. Austin gets much respect

‘Cause he’s the father of the land the Spanish tried to get

 

Proud men like Crockett and William B. Travis

Others tried to get the land, but they would not let them have it

The first elected President was named Sam Houston

Come on, everybody, get loose in

 

Texas, it’s a powerful thing

Texas, let freedom ring

Texas, like a yellowjacket sting

The Lone Star State like Robert Earl Keen

 

Texas, the flag’s standing tall

Texas, you need help, just call

Texas, from Montezuma’s halls

You say “hello”, we say “Howdy, y’all”

 

Now ZZ Top’s been kicking dust for years

Pantera reinvented the steel in your ears

The Ghetto Boys been playing tricks on your mind

And MC Overlord’s been shaking your behind

 

We’ve got Pat Green and Ed Burleson

Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson

Clint Black and Jerry Jeff Walker

We all talk slow, not one fast talker

 

You know I get down like big Dave King

I love to listen to George Straight sing

‘Cause I’m just like Texas, don’t mess with me

‘Cause if you pop that noise, you’ll get dismissed directly

If you want to battle me, you’d better be on your guard

‘Cause Cowboy Troy and the Hicks will always be hard

We’ll be harder than physics on a calculus test

And when the battle is done, Cowboy Troy is the best

 

You’re gonna say I’m not the best, but you know that I’m good

And that’s one fact quickly understood

It’s a round one knock-down, making y’all feel this

Last man like Bruce Willis

 

Texas, it’s a powerful thing

Texas, let freedom ring

Texas, like a yellowjacket sting

The Lone Star State like Robert Earl Keen

 

Texas, the flag’s standing tall

Texas, you need help, just call

Texas, from Montezuma’s halls

You say “hello”, we say “Howdy, y’all”

 

Gotta say “Howdy” to my friends at UT

‘Cause a Texas Longhorn I will always be

And to the good old boys in Houston, I’ve gotta say “Howdy”

Even though every now and then they get a little rowdy

 

Best wishes to the cowboys that live in San Antone

The one in San Marcos, the ones in Waco

I’ve gotta say “Hey” to the boys in El Paso

The ones in Texarkana, the Golden Triangle

 

To the boys in College Station, the ones in Amarillo

The ones out in the valley, and Midland Odessa

You can’t forget Fort Worth and Dallas as well

The original address of the Heartbreak Hotel

 

‘Cause in the Lone Star State we’ve got a country style

Even though every now and then we get a little wild

I’m a right nice guy, don’t take no lip

So the diarrhea of the mouth better quit

 

‘Cause I’ll be on your behind like a big old flop

I’ll make you call me “Tex” just to make me stop

If you keep talking noise, you’ll be getting demolished

I’ll be kicking you behind ‘til you taste my shoe polish

Texas, it’s a powerful thing

Texas, let freedom ring

Texas, like a yellowjacket sting

The Lone Star State like Robert Earl Keen
