[Pariah]

You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe

 

You don't want no stand-by pair
'Cos these'll take the wear and tear
Made to take good care of you
For that trip by road or rail
For extra grip on those rocky trails
You're gonna need a quality shoe

 

Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancing
But I don't foresee too much of that
You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
Around in the moonlight

With a cane and a top hat

 

If you could use a change of pace
And be excused from the rat race
Just take a look at what's on view
Lace 'em up, walk around
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
You're gonna need a quality shoe

 

Now I wish you sunny skies
And happiness wherever you may go
But you got to realise
There'll be wind, there'll be rain
And occasional snow

 

You're gonna want to smile in them
If you're gonna walk a mile in them
There'll be times when you'll be blue
To laugh at rainy days and then
Make your getaways in them
You're gonna need a quality shoe

 

You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town

You're gonna need

You're gonna need

You're gonna need a quality shoe

[death tribble]

The world is just a great big onion
And hate and fear are the spices that make you cry, oh, baby
And the only way to get rid of this great big onion
Is to plant love seeds until it dies, uh huh (Woo !)

Hey world ! We got a great big job to do
Yeah, we need you
And everybody who loves truth

Oh, don't you know we've got to clean up this place
And reach for a higher goal, yeah (Yes we do, now)
We gotta be headstrong about righting the wrong
And make a mountain of happy souls, oh oh (Oh, baby)

The world is just a great big onion
And I don't care, is the face people like to wear, oh baby (Yes it is, now)
And the only way to get rid of this great big onion
Every single soul's got to do their share
Tell 'em 'bout it, baby, woo ! Uh, huh

So come on, let's knock on every door, woo!
Tell them love is the answer
Whether they're rich or poor, oh yeah
You might also like
What You Gave Me

Now, we don't care what you do
How you look, or your status claim, baby, ooh
No no, because brothers and sisters
From now on, is going to be everyone's name, oh oh (Woo !)

The world is just (The world is just) a great big onion
And pain and fear are the spices that make you cry, oh baby (Yes, it is)
And the only way to get rid of this great big onion
Is to plant love seeds
Now everybody, got to plant love seeds
Come on and plant love seeds
Until it dies

The world is just a great big onion

[death tribble]

I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes,
I got up and walked away.
Oh, I was just a boy,
I didn't know how to play.

Worked hard and failed
now all I can say is
I threw it all away.
Oh, I was just a boy
giving it all away...

sail away, sail away,
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
giving it all away

ooh, I know better now, I know better now
I've given it all away...

Went out in the world too much for my nerves
only myself to blame.
oh, I was just a boy
nobody else to blame...

I've done all I can, now it's out of my hands
stand on my head and say
oh, I was just a boy
giving it all away...

sail away, sail away,
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
giving it all away

ooh, I know better now, I know better now
given it all away..

[Pariah]

When this world starts a-reelin'

From that pressure drop feelin'

We're just treading water each day

There's a way to feel better

Be well set to weather

The storms 'til the sun shines again

When your compass is spinnin'

And you're lost on the way

Like a leaf in the wind, friend

Hear me when I say

 

Bubbles up

They will point you towards home

No matter how deep or how far you roam

They will show you the surface, the plot and the purpose

So, when the journey gets long

Just know that you are loved

There is light up above

And the joy is always enough

Bubbles up

 

To my friends who are jolly

When melancholy knocks

Sometimes they let her in

To sit and share stories

Of flops and of glories

It ain't half as bad as the bends

Sometimes living's a struggle

Multiplied double

But they love it too much

For the party to end

 

Bubbles up

They will point you towards home

No matter how deep or how far you roam

They will show you the surface

The plot and the purpose

So, when the journey gets long

Just know that you are loved (you are loved)

There's light up above (up above)

And joy, there is always enough

Bubbles up

 

Let's pop a cork to the rough and the right

To the bright blazing days

And the sweet starry nights

 

Bubbles up

They will point us towards home

No matter how deep or how far we roam

They will show you the surface

The plot and the purpose

So, when the journey gets long

Just know that you are loved (you are loved)

There's light up above (up above)

And joy, there's always enough

Bubbles up

Bubbles up

Bubbles up

[death tribble]

I've been here before
But always hit the floor
I've spent a lifetime running
And I always get away

But with you I'm feeling something
That makes me want to stay

 

I'm prepared for this
I never shoot to miss

But I feel like a storm is coming
If I'm gonna make it through the day
Then there's no more use in running
This is something I gotta face

 

If I risk it all
Could you break my fall ?

 

How do I live ? How do I breathe ?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up ?
For you I have to risk it all
'Cause the writing's on the wall

 

A million shards of glass
That haunt me from my past
As the stars begin to gather
And the light begins to fade
When all hope begins to shatter
Know that I won't be afraid

 

If I risk it all
Could you break my fall ?

 

How do I live ? How do I breathe ?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
'Cause the writing's on the wall

 

The writing's on the wall

 

How do I live ? How do I breathe ?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up ?
How do I live ? How do I breathe ?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up ?
For you I have to risk it all
'Cause the writing's on the wall

[death tribble]

I should've known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
That the blood you bleed is just the blood you owe

 

We were a pair
But I saw you there
Too much to bear
You were my life, but life is far away from fair

 

Was I stupid to love you ?
Was I reckless to help ?
Was it obvious to everybody else

 

That I'd fallen for a lie ?
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise ?

Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die

 

I let it burn
You're no longer my concern
Faces from my past return
Another lesson yet to learn

 

That I'd fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise ?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die

 

No time to die
No time to die

 

Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise ?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die

[death tribble]

Another ringer with the slick trigger finger
For Her Majesty
Another one with the golden tongue
Poisoning your fantasy
Another bill from a killer turned a thriller
To a tragedy

Yeah
A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in your eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Or someone that you think that you can trust
It's just
Another way to die

Another tricky little gun giving solace to the one
That'll never see the sun shine
Another inch of your life sacrificed for your brother
In the nick of time
Another dirty money heaven sent honey
Turning on a dime

Yeah
A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in your eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Or someone that you think that you can trust
It's just
Another way to die

(It's just another)
Hey !
(It's just another)
You're nothing to me die
(It's just another)
Shoot 'em bang bang

Another girl with her finger on the world
Singing to you what you wanna hear
Another gun thrown down in surrender
Took away your fear
Another man there he stands right behind you
Looking in the mirror

Well
A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Or someone that you think that you can trust
It's just
Another way to die

It's just another
It's just another
It's just another way
Shoot 'em up, bang bang
Hey hey
It's just another
Yeah yeah

It's just another
It's just another
It's just another
It's just another day

Bang bang bang bang

[death tribble]

f you take a life, do you know what you'll give ?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me ?
By the merciless eyes I've deceived ?

 

I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line

 

Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die ?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name

 

If you come inside things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we have been playing

 

I've seen this diamond cut through harder men
Than you yourself, but if you must pretend
You may meet your end

 

Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die ?
The coldest blood runs through my veins

 

Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel
(Forget how to feel)
Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
(Spin of the wheel)

 

Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins

 

You know my name

You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name

[Pariah]

Hey honey, have you gained

Some weight in your rear end?

That dress you wear reminds me

Of my old girlfriend

And where'd you get those shoes?

I think they're pretty lame

Would you stop talking

'cause I'm trying to watch the game

 

If you're a man who wants to live 

A long and happy life

These are the things you don't say to your wife

[Cancer]

Mother told me, yes, she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, hey

Father says, "Your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married, Mommy served
In the WACS in the Philippines"
Now, I had heard the WACs recruited
Old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, hey

Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear?
But when I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'
Got my KISS records out

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, hey
Away
Away

Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (Bun E.'s alright)
Surrender (Tommy's alright)
But don't give yourself away (Robin's alright. Rick's alright)
Surrender (We're all alright)
Surrender (We're all alright)
But don't give yourself away (We're all alright. We're all alright)
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away

[Cancer]

Running hard towards what used to be
Losing ground in changes, sliding endlessly
Reaching out for mirrors hidden in the web
Painting lines upon your face inside instead

Sounds so bad, the music's flat on every line
Songs of blackened lace, know you're dying all the time
Sounds so bad, you let the music take your soul
Slipping through the day, lose the only way you know

Running hard towards what used to be
Losing ground in changes, sliding endlessly
Reaching out for things you want to see
Find reflections of insane reality

Running hard towards what used to be
Losing ground in changes, sliding endlessly
Reaching out for shadows passing through
See the dark around is coming down on you

Cameron's getting logical, a Vulcan in disguise.
The mysteries of the night are putting sparkles in his eyes
He's looking for sound reasoning, but the best that I can do
Is this transcendental story that I'll pass along to you

 

Past the falls they call Victoria, down the river named the Nile,
Drifts a tiny little handmade boat, it's shaped just like a smile,
And steered by a magician with the knowledge that he needs
To keep him on his destined course, past the crocodiles and reeds

He's the admiral of the ocean,
The lone eagle in the sky.
He gave me my first sextant
And he taught me how to fly.

 

It's been quite a lengthy passage from the dawn of time till now
He has weathered the infernal storms in his trusty petite dhow
He has soared above colossal waves, sailed the endless sea
Sometimes he resembles you, sometimes he looks like me.

 

I saw him through my telescope
On a cloudless night in June,
As he rested between voyages
At his beach house on the moon

 

There are windows to the galaxies and hallways to the past
There are trapdoors to the future and a splintered, ancient mast
There are relics from Apollo trips, when the Earthmen came to play
And a hammock from a distant star, out in the Milky Way

I saw him through my telescope
On a cloudless night in June,
As he rested between voyages
At his beach house on the moon

 

A striped bass breaks the surface, as the sunset fades away,
And our journey from the sea of storms takes us home beside the bay
We go fishing in the ocean, we go traveling back in time,
Like the song says, "Teach your children to go fishing with their mind."

 

Cameron's contemplating. I'm not sure just what he thinks.
"Is my dad some kind of lunatic with his stories and hijinks?"
Then he says when I get old and gray and feel like I'm marooned,
He will take me in his rocket ship to that beach house on the moon

[Pariah]

Keeps them all waiting
They're standing in line
He never has to worry about being alone
He's taking his own sweet time

The man's mighty hot
Believe it or not
Every woman's after what the big boy's got
They know it's all a lie but they're taking their shot

 

He is such a smooth-talking man
They never want to let him go
He'll be gone when the morning comes
Then they'll be the first to know

 

It's just a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Well, it won't be the first
It definitely won't be the last one you make
Just a big mistake

 

Sooner or later they're gonna find out
He never cares about the hearts he's breaking tonight
He's letting it all hang out

 

The man's mighty tough
Better leave before it starts to get too rough
He such a smooth-talking man
They never want to let him go
He'll be gone when the morning comes
Then they'll be the first to know

 

It's a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Well, it won't be the first
It definitely won't be the last one you make
Such a big mistake

Just a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Such a big mistake

 

You might think you ought a call him Mr. Right
Baby you might get a big surprise tonight

 

You might think you ought a call him Mr. Right
Baby you might get a big surprise tonight

 

In the morning when you find him gone
It's a big mistake
You know you've been lied to
In the morning when you know you're wrong
Such a big mistake
There's no one to cry to

 

In the morning when you find him gone
It's a big mistake
You know you've been lied to
In the morning when you're so alone
Such a big mistake
When you're so alone
In the morning when you find him gone
In the morning when you know you're wrong
In the morning when you find him gone
In the morning you'll be so alone, so alone

Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Go away, come back another day
Don't bother me

Heard back from my friends
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
Word really gets around
(Hey girl, don't bother me)

They say you're the toy
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
Of every boy in town

They said you like to cheat
(Cheat, cheat)
They said you were just a little flirt
(Cheat, cheat, cheat, cheat)

If I fall for you
(Cheat, cheat, cheat, cheat)
I'm surely gonna get hurt

Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Stay out of my home, don't try to use your charm
Don't bother me

 

But I've really gotta say, you look so fine
You're oh, oh, so hard to resist
But I know I've gotta stay away
'Cause I might fall for you
And I don't wanna be added to your list

So now I say
"Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Hey girl, don't bother me, hey girl, don't bother me
Afraid if I kiss you, I might not resist you
Don't bother me"

(Hey girl, don't bother me)
Don't bother me
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
Now

(Hey girl, don't bother me)
Go your way, girl
(Hey girl, don't bother me)
I'm gonna marry a

[death tribble]

Whoo-whoo
Twist yourself further from the middle of the floor
Throw a little kiss to the woman next door
Step on the gas put your hand in the air
Make a V-sign and you throw back your hair

Think about nothin' now you're nice and high
You're advocating love but you don't know why
Now you're getting vibrations all down to your feet
That's the brow beating, heavy, leather, resurrection beat

 

Put your hand on your hips
Now you let your backbone slip
Put out your tongue, put your hand in the air
Make a VEE sign you just don't care

 

Now you feel free you gotta lose control
All Gods children got a little bit of soul
You don't have to think you don't have to move a muscle
To do the brow beating, heavy, leather, resurrection shuffle

 

Alright
Oh here we go again
Oh that's it you're doin' it
Alright

 

You Think about nothin' now you're nice and high
You're advocating love but you dont know why
You're getting vibrations all down to your feet
That's the brow beating, heavy, leather, resurrection beat

 

Here we go
Put your hand on your hip
You gotta let your backbone slip
Put out your tongue, put your hand in the air

 

Make a V sign like you just don't care
Now you feel free you gotta lose control
All Gods children got some soul
You don't have to think you don't have to move a muscle

 

To do the brow beating, heavy, leather, resurrection shuffle
You doin' alright
This is gonna last you for years and years and it alright
You doin' alright, don't get uptight
Uh-huh yea, that sounds alright, um-hum
Do do n do do do

Wake up, Maggie
I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and
I really should be back at school

I know I keep you amused
But I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts

The morning sun, when it's in your face
Really shows your age
That don't worry me none
In my eyes, you're everything

I laughed at all of your jokes
My love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend
To lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover, and mother what a lover!
You wore me out

All you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books
And get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue
And make a living out of playing pool

Or find myself a rock 'n' roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway

Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Cancer]

I was takin' a trip out to LA
Toolin' along in my Chevrolet
Tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio
Jes' as I cross the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
And I knew that left rear tire was about to go

Well the spare was flat and I got uptight
'Cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight
So I jes' limped down the shoulder on the rim
I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
A kind of a redneck lookin' joint called the Dew Drop Inn

Well I stuffed my hair up under my hat
And told the bartender that I had a flat
And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one
There was one thing I was sure proud to see
There wasn't a soul in the place 'cept for him an' me
And he jest looked disgusted an' pointed toward the telephone

I called up the station down the road a ways
And he said he wasn't very busy t'day
And he could have somebody there in jest 'bout ten minutes or so
He said now you jes' stay right where yer at and I didn't bother tellin'
The durn fool I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go

I jes ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
When some guy walked in an' said who owns this car
With the peace sign the mag wheels and four on the floor
Well he looked at me and I damn near died
And I decided that I'd jus wait outside
So I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door

Jes' when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin
These five big dudes come strollin' in
With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth
An' I was almost to the door when the biggest one
Said you tip your hat to this lady son
An' when I did all that hair fell out from underneath

Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
In Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night
'Specially when there was three of them and only one of me
Well they all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick
And I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick
So I jes' reached out an' kicked ol' green-teeth right in the knee

He let out a yell that'd curl your hair
But before he could move I grabbed me a chair
And said watch him folks 'cause he's a thoroughly dangerous man
Well you may not know it but this man's a spy
He's an undercover agent for the FBI
And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan

He was still bent over holdin' on to his knee
But everyone else was lookin' and listenin' to me
And I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went
I said would you beleive this man has gone as far
As tearin' Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
And he voted for George McGovern for president

Well he's a friend of them long-haired hippie type pinko fags
I betcha he's even got a Commie flag
Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage
He's a snake in the grass I tell ya guys
He may look dumb but that's jus a disguise
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage

They all started lookin' real suspicious at him
And he jumped up an' said jes' wait a minute jim
You know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life
I'm a faithfull follower of Brother John Birch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church
And I ain't even got a garage you can call home and ask my wife

Then he started sayin' somethin' 'bout the way I was dressed
But I didn't wait around to hear the rest
I was too busy movin' and hopin' I didn't run outta luck
And when I hit the ground I was makin' tracks
And they were jes' takin' my car down off the jacks
So I threw the man a twenty an' jumped in an' fired that mother up

Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd
Comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot
An' I guess I shoulda gone ahead an' run
But somehow I couldn't resist the fun
Of chasin' them jes' once around the parkin' lot

Well they're headin' for their car but I hit the gas
And spun around and headed them off at the pass
Well I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air
Well I had them all out there steppin' an' a fetchin'
Like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin'
But I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there

When I hit the road I was really wheelin'
Had gravel flyin' and rubber squealin'
An' I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas
I think I'm gonna re-route my trip
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped
If I went to LA via Omaha

First, you pick up the apparel and you stick it in the barrel
Scrub, scrub
Then you take it to the mangle and you turn the giant handle
Scrub, scrub
Then it's hung up really high until it's nearly dry
Scrub, scrub
But when we sing this song, the day don't seem so long
Scrub, scrub

 

(It's still long, though)

 

Gotta press out all the creases from the dresses and chemises
Rub, rub
Gotta fold 'em like they told us or they'll scold us and withhold our
Grub, grub
We all signed the dotted line so we've gotta do our time
Scrub, scrub

(Scrub, scrub)

And if you don't agree, see Clause 5, Section 7A, Paragraph 22, Part D, which says:
Scrub, scrub

 

Scrub, scrub
Scrub, scrub
Scrub, scrub

Got a house full of fortune and they pay me in gold
For something I'd do for free
But there's still something missing that a man can't hold
It's like a weight over me
So scared the thrill will be gone
But I'm the one who keeps the pressure on

 

All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone
All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone

 

Well, I'm sick of walking 'round with blood in my eyes
Just keeping up with this town
I' m a roadrunner racing, but I don't see the signs
I've got to learn to slow down
My life makes it hard to complain
But there's times I'd take my school days back again

 

All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone
All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone

 

Four o'clock and I'm still counting sheep
Love to change the system, but I'm in too deep
I keep the pressure far away as I can
But it still comes back again, back again, yeah, yeah

 

My life makes it hard to complain
But there's times I'd take my school days back again

 

All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm sure I'm not alone
I'm not alone, yeah

[Pariah]

I awoke this morning
Love laid me down by the river
Drifting I turned on up stream
Bound for my forgiver
In the giving of my eyes to see your face
Sound did silence me
Leaving no trace
I begged to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Begged to hear your wonderous stories

 

He spoke of lands not far
Nor lands they were in his mind
Of fusion captured high
Where reason captured his time
In no time at all he took me to the gate
In haste I quickly checked the time
If I was late
I had to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Had to hear your wonderous stories

 

Hearing
Hearing hearing your wonderous stories
Hearing your wonderous stories

 

It is no lie I see deeply into the future
Imagine everything
You're close
And were you there
To stand so cautiously at first
And then so high
As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky
I bid it to return
To hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories

[Pariah]

Soon, oh soon the light
Pass within and soothe this endless night
And wait here for you
Our reason to be here

Soon, oh soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open
Our reason to be here

Long ago, set into rhyme

Soon, oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

Soon, oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

[Pariah]

Sister bluebird flying high above
Shine your wings forward to the sun
Hide the mysteries of life on your way
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
What you don't know, I have never heard

 

Starship trooper, go sailing on by
Catch my soul, catch the very light
Hide the moment from my eager eye
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul
What you can't see, can't be very whole

 

Speak to me of summer
Long winters longer than time can remember
The setting up of other roads
To travel on in old accustomed ways

 

I still remember the talks by the water
The proud sons and daughter
That knew the knowledge of the land
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

 

Mother life, hold firmly on to me
Catch my knowledge higher than the day
Lose as much as only you can show
Though you've seen me, please don't say a word
What I don't know, I have never shared

 

Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever
All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the facts there shown before you
Take what I say in a different way and it's easy to say that this is all confusion
As I see a new day in me, I can also show it you and you may follow

 

Speak to me of summer
Long winters longer than time can remember
The setting up of other roads
To travel on in old accustomed ways

 

I still remember the talks by the water
The proud sons and daughter
That knew the knowledge of the land
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

[Pariah]

There can be no answer for us all
There can be no stopping what is ever changing
Living for the perfect dream
It's time to make a resolution
There will be some peace in our hearts and our minds

 

We can all find a way to resolve our differences
There's no way we can lose
When we all realize that there are no differences
There's no way we can lose

 

Ready or not

We can all find a way

 

We will be forgiving to the ones we love
We will see the blossoming of the new spirit
Shaping everything to our design
We'll build a brighter future
We will free ourselves from the chains that would bind

 

We can all find a way to resolve our differences
There's no way we can lose
When we all realize that there are no differences
There's no way we can lose
No way we can lose

 

Ready or not

Ready or not
There's no way we can lose

 

We can all find a way
Ready or not

Ready or not

We can all find a way to resolve our differences
There's no way we can lose
When we all realize that there are no differences
There's no way we can lose
No way we can lose

 

Ready or not

Ready or not

Ready or not
No way we can lose

[Pariah]

I am the man in the moon
And I hope to shine upon you very soon
Waiting in the night
To bathe you all in moonlight
I am the man
I am the man in the moon

 

Silently revolving
Wandering through the heavens above
On my own

 

Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know

 

I am a creature of the night
And I hope to come and shed a little light
Although the universe our teacher
I remain the central feature
I am the man
I am the man in the moon

 

Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know

 

Silently revolving
Wandering through the heavens above
On my own

 

I am the man in the moon
(Round and round)
And I hope to shine upon you very soon
(Round and round)
Waiting in the night
To bathe you all in moonlight
I am the man
I am the man in the moon

 

Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know

 

Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know

 

Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know

 

Round and round and round I go
(It's that old devil moon)

When I stop no one will know

It's that old devil moon

Trick of the light, or just
A loss of perspective
Flaw in the grand plan
Just the way it is

 

Looks good from a distance, but
The closer I come it
Becomes more daunting but
These moments will pass

 

Still
Halfway up the hill
My fingers may bleed
But I've got to get there
Still
Standing on the hill
My spirit's released
But I've got to get there

 

Lost in an abstract thought
Dazed and distracted
Winded yet still I'm caught
With a fragment of doubt

Slowed by reflection, but
These moments will pass

Still
Halfway up the hill
My fingers may bleed
But I've got to get there
Still
Standing on the hill
My spirit's released
But I've got to get there

 

It's just confusion
An illusion
Easily overdone
Here comes resolution
Absolution

 

It's not an illusion
Not a fiction
Easily overcome
Here comes revolution
Absolution

 

Trick of the light, or just
Too much perspective
Looks good from a distance, but
The closer I come, it
Becomes more daunting, but
These moments will pass

 

Still
