[Pariah]

Life hangs now before me,

Some faint and hollow dream.

Things I may remember,

And some I haven't seen.

 

Chivalry and valor,

Have gone the way of pride.

The tide is slowly turning,

And there's nowhere left to hide.

 

My thought turns to the common man,

The lights gone from their eyes.

Beneath their tattered robes,

They hide the pieces of their lives.

 

The time has changed from magic,

To a world of human ways.

An old magician wrings his hands,

And begs for yesterday.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me join your alibi.

With Godliness on our side,

Surely we can't tell a lie.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me revel in your pain.

The sacrifice of progress,

Will destroy all that remains...

 

The sounds that still remind me,

Of the voices of the past;

The wind that blows behind me,

And the shattering of glass.

 

The days are surely numbered,

And the hours growing long.

The echoes fade behind me,

Like some old forgotten song.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me join your alibi.

With Godliness on our side,

Surely we can't tell a lie.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me revel in your pain.

The sacrifice of progress,

Will destroy all that remains...

 

Days gone by forgotten,

In ageless books and plays.

The values of the ancients,

Elude us to this day.

 

A final word of warning,

From the ashes of the past.

What is put up in a hurry,

Can surely never last.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me join your alibi.

With Godliness on our side,

Surely we can't tell a lie.

 

Pull the knife out slowly Lord;

Let me revel in your pain.

The sacrifice of progress,

Will destroy all that remains...

From Paris to Berlin,

And every disco I get in,

My heart is pumping for love,

Pumping for love,

'Cause when I'm thinking of you,

And all the things we could do,

My heart is pumping for love,

You left me longing for you

 

From Paris to Berlin,

And every disco I get in,

My heart is pumping for love,

Pumping for love,

'Cause when I'm thinking of you,

And all the things we could do,

My heart is pumping for love

 

Patience is a game,

And every night I say your name,

Hoping that you'll answer

'Cause I'm going insane.

It's quite along time ago,

You brought me out of control,

Hungry for you love

And like I know what that might be

 

From Paris to Berlin,

And every disco I get in,

My heart is pumping for love,

Pumping for love,

'Cause when I'm thinking of you,

And all the things we could do,

My heart is pumping for love

 

You left me longing for you [x4]

 

Teasing was the thing

And now I just can't let it go

Maiden you were something no-one else needs to know

I guess I'm thinking of you,

Like I would know what to do

If and when I found you, but I don't

Have got no clue

 

From Paris to Berlin,

And every disco I get in,

My heart is pumping for love,

Pumping for love.

'Cause when I'm thinking of you,

And all the things we could do,

My heart is pumping for love,

You left me longing for you, [x4]

 

Who-whoa-o

Who-whoa-o

Who-whoa-o

Who-whoa-o

Who-whoa-o

Who-whoa-o

Who-whoa-o

 

From Paris to Berlin,

And every disco I get in,

My heart is pumping for love,

Pumping for love,

'Cause when I'm thinking of you,

And all the things we could do,

My heart is pumping for love,

You left me longing for you

 

From Paris to Berlin,

And every disco I get in,

My heart is pumping for love,

Pumping for love,

'Cause when I'm thinking of you,

And all the things we could do,

My heart is pumping for love,

You left me longing for you

You left me longing for you

You left me longing for you

You left me longing for you

You left me longing for you

You left me longing for you

It's just gone noon

Half past monsoon

On the banks of the river Nile

Here comes the boat

Only half-afloat

Oarsman grins a toothless smile

Only just one more

To this desolate shore

Last boat along the river Nile

Doesn't seem to care

No more wind in his hair

As he reaches his last half mile

The oar snaps in his hand

Before he reaches dry land

But the sound doesn't deafen his smile

Just pokes at wet sand

With an oar in his hand

Floats off down the river Nile

Floats off down the river Nile

 

(All aboard, night boat to Cairo!)

 

(Night boat to Cairo!)

[death tribble]

Received a letter just the other day,

Don't seem they wanna know you no more,

They've laid it down given you their score,

Within the first two lines it bluntly read.

 

You're not to come and see us no more,

Keep away from our door,

Don't come 'round here no more

What on earth did you do that for ?

 

Our aunt, she don't wanna know she says,

What will the neighbours think they'll think,

We don't that's what they'll think, we don't,

But I will, 'cause I know they think I don't.

 

Our uncle he don't wanna know he says,

We are a disgrace to the human race he says,

How can you show your face,

When you're a disgrace to the human race ?

 

No committment, you're an embarrassment,

Yes, an embarrassment, a living endorsement,

The intention that you have booked,

Was an intention that was overlooked.

 

They say, stay away,

Don't want you home today,

Keep away from our door,

Don't come 'round here no more.

 

Our dad, he don't wanna know he says,

This is a serious matter,

Too late to reconsider,

No one's gonna wanna know ya !

 

Our mum, she don't wanna know,

I'm feelin' twice as old, she says,

Thought she had a head on her shoulder,

'Cause I'm feelin' twice as older,

I'm feelin' twice as older.

 

You're an embarrassment..

[death tribble]

The garden was blessed by the Gods of me and you

We headed west for to find ourselves some truth, ooh

What you waiting for ?

No, what you waiting for ?

 

We counted all our reasons, excuses though we made

We found ourselves some treasure, and threw it all away, ooh

What you waiting for ?

No, what you waiting for ?

What you waiting for ?

No, what you waiting for ?

 

When I dance alone, and the sun's beating down,

Blame it on me

When I lose control and the veil's overused,

Blame it on me

What you waiting for ?

No, what you waiting for ?

 

Caught in the tide of blossom, caught in the carnival

Your confidence forgotten, I see the gypsies rule, ooh

What you waiting for ?

No, what you waiting for ?

What you waiting for ?

No, what you waiting for ?

 

When I dance alone, and the sun's beating down,

Blame it on me

When I lose control and the veil's overused,

Blame it on me

What you waiting for ?

No, what you waiting for ?

What you waiting for ?

No, what you waiting for ?

 

When I dance alone, and the sun's beating down,

Blame it on me

When I lose control and the veil's overused,

Blame it on me

When I dance alone, I know I'll go

Blame it on me ooh

When I'll lose control, I know I'll go

Blame it on me ooh

 

What you waiting for ?

No, what you waiting for ?

What you waiting for?

No, what you waiting for ?

[death tribble]

I feel your head resting heavy on your single bed

I want to hear all about it, get it all off your chest

I feel the tears and you’re not alone

When I hold you well I won’t let go

Why should we care for what they’re selling us anyway

We’re so young girl and you know

 

You don’t have to be there babe

You don’t have to be scared babe

You don’t need a plan, of what you want to do

Won’t you listen to the man that's loving you

 

Your world keeps spinning and you can’t jump off

But I will catch you if you fall, I can’t tell you enough

I hate to hear that you’re feeling low

I hate to hear that you won’t come home

 

Why, should we care for what they’re selling us anyway

We’re, so young girl and you know

You don’t have to be there babe

You don’t have to be scared babe

You don’t need a plan, of what you want to do

Won’t you listen to the man that's loving you

 

Easy easy and a 1, 2, 3

Breasy breasy if you come with me

Easy easy and a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, na, na, na, na

 

You don’t have to be there babe

You don’t have to be scared babe

You don’t need a plan, of what you want to do

Won’t you listen to the man that's loving you

 

You don’t have to be there babe

You don’t have to be scared babe

You don’t need a plan, of what you want to do

Don’t you listen to the man that's loving you

[death tribble]

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted. In one moment

Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

 

Yo

 

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,

But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,

The whole crowd goes so loud

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

He's choking how, everybody's joking now

The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!

Snap back to reality. Oh, there goes gravity

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked

He's so mad, but he won't give up that

 

Easy, no

 

He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes

It don't matter, he's dope

He knows that but he's broke

He's so sad that he knows

When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's

Back to the lab again, yo

This whole rhapsody

He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

 

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go (go)

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)

 

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go (go)

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)

 

(You better)

 

The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping

This world is mine for the taking

Make me king, as we move toward a new world order

A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to postmortem

It only grows harder, homie grows hotter

He blows. It's all over. These hoes is all on him

Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter

Lonely roads, God only knows

He's grown farther from home, he's no father

He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water

His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product

They moved on to the next schmoe who flows

He nose dove and sold nada

So the soap opera is told and unfolds

I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on

Da da dum da dum da da da da

 

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go (go)

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)

 

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go (go)

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)

 

(You better)

 

No more games, I'mma change what you call rage

Tear this roof off like two dogs caged

I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed

I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

But I kept rhyming and stepped right into the next cypher

Best believe somebody's paying the Pied Piper

All the pain inside amplified by the

Fact that I can't get by with my 9 to 5

And I can't provide the right type of life for my family

'Cause man, these food stamps don't buy diapers

And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life

And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder

Trying to feed and water my seed, plus

Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a primadonna

Baby, mama drama's screaming on her

Too much for me to wanna

Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's gotten me

To the point, I'm like a snail

I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot

Success is my only option, failure's not

Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go

I cannot grow old in Salem's lot

So here I go it's my shot.

Feet, fail me not

This may be the only opportunity that I got

 

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go (go)

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)

 

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go (go)

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)

 

(You better)

 

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

[death tribble]

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

 

Broken glass everywhere

People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care

I can't take the smell, can't take the noise

Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice

Rats in the front room, roaches in the back

Junkies in the alley with the baseball bat

I tried to get away but I couldn't get far

Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car

 

Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

I'm trying not to lose my head

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

 

Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window

Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow

Crazy lady, livin' in a bag

Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a fag hag

Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango

A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses

Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps

So she can tell her stories to the girls back home

She went to the city and got social security

She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own

 

Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

I'm trying not to lose my head

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

 

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

 

My brother's doin' bad, stole my mother's TV

Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy

All My Children in the daytime, Dallas at night

Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight

The bill collectors, they ring my phone

And scare my wife when I'm not home

Got a bum education, double-digit inflation

Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station

Neon King Kong standin' on my back

Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac

A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane

Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane

I swear I might hijack a plane!

 

Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

I'm trying not to lose my head

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

 

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

 

My son said, Daddy, I don't wanna go to school

Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool

And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper

If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper

Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet

Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps

Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny

You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey

They pushed that girl in front of the train

Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again

Stabbed that man right in his heart

Gave him a transplant for a brand new start

I can't walk through the park cause it's crazy after dark

Keep my hand on my gun cause they got me on the run

I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw

Hear them say "You want some more?"

Livin' on a see-saw

 

Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

I'm trying not to lose my head

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

 

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

 

A child is born with no state of mind

Blind to the ways of mankind

God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too

Because only God knows what you'll go through

You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate

And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate

The places you play and where you stay

Looks like one great big alleyway

You'll admire all the number-book takers

Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers

Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens

And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them, huh

Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers

Pickpocket peddlers, even panhandlers

You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool

But then you wind up droppin' outta high school

Now you're unemployed, all non-void

Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd

Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did

Got sent up for a eight-year bid

Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag

Spend the next two years as a undercover fag

Bein' used and abused to serve like hell

Til one day, you was found hung dead in the cell

It was plain to see that your life was lost

You was cold and your body swung back and forth

But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song

Of how you lived so fast and died so young so

 

Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

I'm trying not to lose my head

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

 

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

Dear hero imprisoned 

With all the new crimes that you are perfecting 

Oh, I can't help quoting you 

Because everything that you said rings true 

And now in my cell 

(well, I followed you) 

And here's a list of who I slew 

Reggie Kray - do you know my name ? 

Oh, don't say you don't 

Please say you do, (oh) I am :

 

The last of the famous 

International playboys 

The last of the famous 

International playboys 

 

And in my cell 

(well, I loved you) 

And every man with a job to do 

Ronnie Kray - do you know my face ?

Oh, don't say you don't 

Please say you do, (oh) I am : 

 

The last of the famous 

International playboys 

The last of the famous 

International playboys 

 

In our lifetime those who kill 

The news world hands them stardom 

And these are the ways 

On which I was raised 

These are the ways 

On which I was raised 

 

I never wanted to kill 

I am not naturally evil 

Such things I do 

Just to make myself 

More attractive to you 

Have I failed ? 

 

Oh...

 

Oh, the last of the famous 

International playboys 

The last of the famous

(Ooh White Lines) Vision dreams of passion

(Blowin' through my mind) And all the while I think of you

(High fry) A very strange reaction

(For us to unwind) The more I see, the more I do

(Something like a phenomenon) Baby !

(Tellin' your body to come along, but white lines blow away)

 

Ticket to ride, white line highway

Tell all your friends, that they can go my way

Pay your toll, sell your soul

Pound for pound, costs more than gold

The longer you stay, the more you pay

My white line, go a long way

Either up your nose or through your vein

With nothin' to gain, except killin' your brain

 

(Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock !)

 

(Blow !)

 

(Ahhh) Higher, baby

(Ahhh) Get higher, baby !

(Ahhh) Get higher, baby !

And don't ever come down! (Freebase !)

 

Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang

Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang

Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang

Diggedy dang di-dang diggedy dang di-dang

 

(Pipeline) Pure as the driven snow

(Connected to my mind) and now I'm havin' fun, baby !

(High fry) It's getting kinda low

('Cause it makes you feel so nice) I need some one-on-one, baby !

(Don't let it blow your mind away) Baby !

(And go into your little hideaway)

('Cause white lines blow away)

 

A million magic crystals, painted pure and white

A multi-million dollars, almost overnight

Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt

And if you get hooked, baby, it's nobody else's fault, so don't do it !

 

(Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock !)

 

(Blow !)

 

(Ahhh) Higher, baby

(Ahhh) Get higher, baby !

(Ahhh) Get higher, baby !

And don't ever come down ! (Freebase !)

 

(Don't you get too high) Don't you get too high baby !

(Turns you on) You really turn me on and on

(When you gonna come down) My temperature is risin'

(When the thrill is gone) No, I don't want you to go

 

A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time

He got out three years from now just to commit more crime

A businessman is caught with 24 kilos

He's out on bail and out of jail

And that's the way it goes

Raah !

 

(Kane ! Sugar ! Kane !)

 

Athletes rejected, governors corrected

Gangsters, thugs and smugglers are thoroughly respected

The money gets divided

The women get excited

Now I'm broke and it's no joke

It's hard as hell to fight it, don't buy it !

 

(Freeze ! Haha ha ha ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock !)

 

Raah ! (Blow !)

 

(Ahhh) Get higher, baby

(Ahhh) Get higher, girl !

(Ahhh) Get higher, baby !

C'mon !

Raah !

 

(White Lines) Vision dreams of passion

(Blowin' through my mind) and all the while I think of you

(High Fry) A very strange reaction

(For us to unwind) The more I see, the more I do

(Something like a phenomenon) Baby !

(Tellin' your body to come along, but white lines blow away)

 

Little Jack Horner sitting on the corner

With no shoes and clothes

This ain't funny, but he took his money

And sniffed it up his nose

(Hey man, you wanna cop some blow ?)

(Sure, what you got, dust, flakes or rocks ?)

(I got China White, Mother of Pearl, Ivory Flake. What you need ?)

(Well yeah, well let me check it out man, just let me get a freeze)

(Go ahead man, stuff I got should kill ya !)

(Yeah man th-that's that's raw, wuh)

 

(Freeze ! Haha ha ha ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock !

Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock ! Freeze ! Rock !)

Panic on the streets of London

Panic on the streets of Birmingham

I wonder to myself

Could life ever be sane again ?

The Leeds side-streets that you slip down

I wonder to myself

Hopes may rise on the Grasmere

But Honey Pie, you're not safe here

So you run down

To the safety of the town

But there's Panic on the streets of Carlisle

Dublin, Dundee, Humberside

I wonder to myself

 

Burn down the disco

Hang the blessed DJ

Because the music that they constantly play

IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE

Hang the blessed DJ

Because the music they constantly play

 

On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down

Provincial towns you jog 'round

 

Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ

Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ

HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ

HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ

HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ

Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ

HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ

HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ

Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ

HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ

HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ

Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ

HANG THE DJ

Ahem.. excuse me !

Can I have the attention of the class for one second ?

 

Hi kids ! Do you like Primus ? (Yeah yeah !)

Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids ? (Uh-huh !)

Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did ?

Try {'cid} and get messed up worse that my life is ?

My brain's dead weight, I'm tryin to get my head straight

but I can't figure out which Spice Girl I want to impregnate

And Dr. Dre said, "Slim Shady you a basehead !"

Uh-uhhh ! "So why's your face red ? Man you wasted !"

Well since age twelve, I've felt like a caged elf

who stayed to himself, in one space, chasin his tail (blalblalblabla)

Got ticked off and ripped Pamela Lee's lips off

Kissed em and said, "I ain't know silicone was 'sposed to be this soft"

I'm bout to pass out and crash, and fall in the grass

faster than a fat man who sat down too fast

C'mere lady ! (Shady, wait a minute, that's my girl dog !)

I don't give a damn, Dre sent me to tick the world off !

 

Hi! My name is.. (what ?) My name is.. (who ?)

My name is..  Slim Shady

Hi! My name is.. (huh ?) My name is.. (what ?)

My name is..  Slim Shady

 

My English teacher wanted to flunk me in junior high (Damn !)

Thanks a lot.. next semester, I'll be thirty-five

I smacked him in his face with an eraser, chased him with a stapler

and told him to change the grade on the paper (Now !)

Walked in the strip club, had my jacket zipped up

Served the bartender, then walked out with a tip cup

Extraterrestrial, runnin over pedestrians

in a spaceship while they're screamin at me: "LET'S JUST BE FRIENDS !"

Ninety-nine percent of my life I was lied to

I just found out my mom does more dope than I do

I told her I'd grow up to be a famous rapper

Make a record about doin drugs and name it after her (Here mom !)

You know you blew up when the women rush your stands

and try to touch your hands like some screamin Usher fans (Aaahhhhhh !)

This guy at White Castle asked for my autograph (Dude, can I get your autograph ?)

So I signed it: 'Dear Dave, thanks for the support, ASSHOLE !'

 

Hi! My name is.. (what ?) My name is.. (who ?)

My name is..  Slim Shady

Hi! My name is.. (huh ?) My name is.. (what ?)

My name is..  Slim Shady

 

Stop the tape ! This kid needs to be locked away ! (Get him !)

Dr. Dre, don't just stand there, OPERATE !

I'm not ready to leave, it's too scary to die

I'll have to be carried inside the cemetery and buried alive

Am I comin or goin ? I can barely decide

I just drank a fifth of Kool-Aid -- dare me to drive ? (Go ahead)

All my life I was very deprived

I ain't had a woman in years, and my palms are too hairy to hide

Clothes ripped like the Incredible Hulk (hachhh-too)

I spit when I talk, I'll screw anything that walks (C'mere)

When I was little I used to get so hungry I would throw fits

HOW YOU GONNA BREAST FEED ME MOM ? (WAH !) YOU AIN'T GOT NO TITS ! (WAH !)

I lay awake and strap myself in the bed

Put a bulleproof vest on and tap myself in the head (BANG !)

I'm steamin mad (Arrrggghhh !)

And by the way when you see my dad ? (Yeah ?)

Ask him if he bought a porno mag and seen my ad

[death tribble]

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray

Put your picture on my wall

It reminds me, that it's not so bad

It's not so bad

 

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray

Put your picture on my wall

It reminds me, that it's not so bad

It's not so bad

 

Dear Slim, I wrote you but still ain't callin'

I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom

I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em

There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'

Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

But anyways, what's been up ? Man how's your daughter ?

My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father

If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her ?

I'm a name her Bonnie

I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry

I had a friend kill himself over some woman who didn't want him

I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan

I even got the underground stuff that you did with Skam

I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man

I like the bit you did with Rawkus too, that stuff was fat

Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,

Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan

This is Stan

 

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray

It's not so bad

 

Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance

I ain't mad, I just think it's screwed up you don't answer fans

If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert

You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew

That's my little brother man, he's only six years old

We waited in the blistering cold for you,

For four hours and you just said, "No."

That's pretty bad man, you're like his freakin' idol

He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do

I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein' lied to

Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I'd write you you would write back

See I'm just like you in a way

I never knew my father neither

He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her

I can relate to what you're saying in your songs

So when I have a bad day, I drift away and put 'em on

'Cause I don't really got anything else so that it helps when I'm depressed

I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest

Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds

It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me

See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it

My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7

But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does

She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up, you gotta call me man

I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

Sincerely yours, Stan, P.S. we should be together too

 

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

Dear Mister "I'm Too Good To Call Or Write My Fans"

This will be the last package I ever send your ass

It's been six months and still no word, I don't deserve it ?

I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect

So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it

I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway

Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka

You dare me to drive ?

You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"

About that guy who could a saved that other guy from drowning

But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him ?

That's kinda how this is, you could a rescued me from drowning

Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy

And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call

I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall

I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it

You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it

And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it

I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me

See Slim, shut up woman ! I'm tryin' to talk !

Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk

But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you

'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too

Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now

Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this package out ?

 

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray

Put your picture on my wall

It reminds me, that it's not so bad

It's not so bad

 

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy

You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she ?

Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

And here's an autograph for your brother

I wrote it on the Starter cap

I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must of missed you

Don't think I did that intentionally just to diss you

But what's this you said about you like to cut your wrists too?

I say that's just clownin' dog, come on, how screwed up are you?

You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling

To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some

And what's this about us meant to be together ?

That type of thing will make me not want us to meet each other

I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

Or maybe you just need to treat her better

I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time

Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine

If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan

Why are you so mad ? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan

I just don't want you to do some crazy things

I seen this one bit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick

Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid

And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to

Come to think about, his name was, it was you

Damn !

[Greywind]

I didn't have to love you,
But I did yes I did.
At times your love was all I had.
But now that our love is just a faded memory,
Of all the good times that we've had.
I never tried to put any chains on you,
I tried to tell you that,
But you kept saying you had your life to live. so

Do what you want to do.
Be who you want to be.
Go to the end of the earth, and
I'll try to follow you
Say what you want to say.
See who you want to see
I'll always be there if you want my love tomorrow.

You said I was a fool,
But a fool couldn't understand.
Or feel the love that I feel
So don't go puttin' any blame on me
I got no reason to leave.
'cause you just said you got your life to live

Do what you want to do.
Be who you want to be.
Go to the end of the earth, and
I'll try to follow you
Say what you want to say.
See who you want to see
I'll always be there if you want my love tomorrow.

And then there'll be no pain no sorrow.

'Cause I could never stop lovin' you
And I don't want to stop lovin' you
What am I supposed to do if I've got to stop
There's nothing more that I can do.
And I'm never gonna stop.

[Greywind]

There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to
Someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there
(All alone) Nothin' seemed to matter
(So alone) Doesn't get much better
(Can't explain) Something that you're feeling
For the very first time

There was a time when you needed someone to hold on to
Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere
(All alone) Suddenly you see her
(So alone) You know you're gonna meet her
(Can't explain) Something that you're feeling
For the very first time

Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way
That you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right

There was a time that you needed somebody to count on
You needed someone to count on, somebody to care
(Now she's here) Nothin' seems to matter
(She's so near) Everything is better
(Can't explain) Something that you're feeling
For the very first time

Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way
That you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right
(And you know that it's right)

Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the air
That you're breathing tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you're holding her tight

Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way
That you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right
(And you know that it's right)

Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the air
That you're breathing tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you're holding her tight

[Greywind]

I was thinking about her, visiting the past
Reconstructing details with old photographs
I was studying the faces with an objective point of view
Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me
I'll follow the sun
And now the time has come, and so, my love, I must go
And though I lose a friend, in the end you will know oh
One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow might rain so I'll follow the sun
All the time you couldn't tell me that one day I'd be glad
That something that I thought was love was misinterpreted

But they were doing me a favor, a blessing in disguise
If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you
I watch you sleeping, your body touching me
There's no doubt about it, this is where I want to be
You know it's so ironic, I had to lose to win
I want to thank her, if she would've been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you
It's a paradox full of contradiction, how I got from there to here
It defies a logical explanation
If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you
If she would've been faithful, if she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated, I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you

[Pariah]

We are leaving, leaving

Leaving on the tide

Come and stand beside me, love

The water is so wide

You can hear the sailors calling

At the dawning of the day

Yesterday is falling, love

And je suis désolé

Je suis désolé

 

Oh, je suis désolé

Mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis désolé

Mais la vie me demande ça

Je suis désolé

Mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis désolé

Mais la vie me demande ça

 

I am turning, turning

From a land that I love well

Look ahead, my darling one

Across the rolling swell

You can hear the seagulls crying

As we're slipping out of the bay

Yesterdy is dying, love

And je suis désolé

Je suis désolé

 

Oh, je suis désolé

Mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis désolé

Mais la vie me demande ça

Je suis désolé

Mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis désolé

Mais la vie me demande ça

 

We are sailing, sailing

For a land that's proud and free

I have no more endurance for

What has become of me

But I will do which I must do, love

Now we're underway

All that I can say to you

Is je suis désolé

Je suis désolé

 

Oh, je suis désolé

Mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis désolé

Mais la vie me demande ça

Je suis désolé

Mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis désolé

Mais la vie me demande ça

 

Oh, je suis désolé

Mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis désolé

Mais la vie me demande ça

Je suis désolé

Mais je n'ai pas le choix

Je suis désolé

Mais la vie me demande ça

[Greywind]

Between the darkness on the street
And the houses filling up with light
Between the stillness in my heart
And the roar of the approaching night
Somebody's calling after somebody
Somebody turns the corner out of sight
Looking for somebody
Somewhere in the night

Tender is the night
When you hold your baby tight
Tender are the motions, tender is the night

Between a life that we expected
And the way it's always been
I can't walk back in again
After the way we fight
When just outside there are people laughing
Living lives we used to lead
Chasing down the love they need
Somewhere in the night

Tender is the night
And the benediction of the neon light
Tender are the hunters, tender is the night

You're gonna want me tonight
When you're ready to surrender
Forget about who's right
When you're ready to remember
It's another world at night
When you're ready to be tender

Tender, tender tender...

And in the hard light of an angry sun
No one remembers what was said or done
Tender are the words they choose
You win, I win, we lose

Tender
Tender is the night
Tender
The benediction of the neon light
Tender
Tender are the hunters
Tender is the night
When they hold each other tight
Tender
Tender are the undercover
Tender
The stranger and the secret lover
Tender
Tender are the motions
Tender is the night
When you hold your baby tight

Tender, tender tender...

[Greywind]

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'm gonna do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love

Ooh The power of love
The power of love

[Greywind]

It's a rainy night and it's over
Tears are gonna fall any minute now
And I know that it's you
I gotta get over, I know I do
But don't know how
I pretend that I'm in control now
I won't fall apart 'till I walk away
And I say to myself you're gonna be stronger
I tell myself it's better this way
Wo, wo

You can't see tears in the rain
No matter how hard you try
You can't see anything
Only the rain in my eyes
You can't see tears in the rain
So as we're sayin' goodbye
Guess I'll be cryin' in vain
Cause you can't see tears in the rain

The time has come, I'm letting go now
I put it all behind me
And just turn the page
And I'll make you believe that it don't matter
You'll never see it's all a charade
Wo, wo'

You can't see tears in the rain
No matter how hard you try
You can't see anything
Only the rain in my eyes
You can't see tears in the rain
So as we're sayin' goodbye
Guess I'll be cryin' in vain
Cause you can't see tears in the rain
Tears in the rain oh no, oh who

You ain't never gonna see no tears in the rain
Cause the rain's gonna fall
And you won't see my pain at all
And the rain comes down, I don't wanna go
I see the memories flash before my eyes like a ghost
I fantasize that there's a glimmer of hope
But it's over, I'll never be the same

You can't see tears in the rain
No matter how hard you try
You can't see anything
Only the rain in my eyes
You can't see tears in the rain
So as we're sayin' goodbye
Guess I'll be cryin' in vain
Cause you can't see tears in the rain
Tears in the rain oh no, oh who

You ain't never gonna see no tears in the rain
Cause the rain's gonna fall baby

You can't see tears in the rain
No matter how hard you try
You can't see anything
Only the rain in my eyes
You can't see tears in the rain
So as we're sayin' goodbye
Guess I'll be cryin' in vain
Cause you can't see tears in the rain

[Burrito Boy]

One evening as the sun went down

And the jungle fires were burning,

Down the track came a hobo hiking,

And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning;

I'm headed for a land that's far away

Beside the crystal fountains

So come with me, we'll go and see

The Big Rock Candy Mountains.

 

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,

There's a land that's fair and bright,

Where the handouts grow on bushes

And you sleep out every night.

Where the boxcars all are empty

And the sun shines every day

On the birds and the bees

And the cigarette trees

The lemonade springs

Where the bluebird sings

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

 

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

All the cops have wooden legs

And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth

And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs

The farmers' trees are full of fruit

And the barns are full of hay

Oh I'm bound to go

Where there ain't no snow

Where the rain don't fall

The winds don't blow

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

 

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

You never change your socks

And the little streams of alcohol

Come trickling down the rocks

The brakemen have to tip their hats

And the railway bulls are blind

There's a lake of stew

And of whiskey too

You can paddle all around them

In a big canoe

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

 

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,

The jails are made of tin.

And you can walk right out again,

As soon as you are in.

There ain't no short-handled shovels,

No axes, saws nor picks,

I'm bound to stay

Where you sleep all day,

Where they hung the jerk

That invented work

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains ...

 

I'll see you all this coming fall

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

[Burrito Boy]

Train roll on, on down the line,

Won't you please take me far away?

Now I feel the wind blow outside my door,

Means I'm leaving my woman behind.

Tuesday's gone with the wind.

My woman's gone with the wind.

 

And I don't know where I'm going.

I just want to be left alone.

Well, when this train ends I'll try again,

But I'm leaving my woman at home.

 

Tuesday's gone with the wind.

Tuesday's gone with the wind.

Tuesday's gone with the wind.

My woman's gone with the wind.

 

Train roll on many miles from my home,

See, I'm riding my blues away.

Tuesday, you see, she had to be free

But somehow I've got to carry on.

 

Tuesday's gone with the wind.

Tuesday's gone with the wind.

Tuesday's gone with the wind.

My woman's gone with the wind.

[Greywind]

I don't wanna talk about that anymore
When there's nothin' goin' on, and somethin' should be done
'Cause we believed for nothin' it seems
And, now it's ended broken-hearted
And, as anyone can see, there was no way we'd agree

And, we can get there if we try
And, I wanna live if I have to die
And, it'll come so sweet and softly, like a song
And, really turn me on, like a lover like a song
Really turn me on, turn me on

It seems there's somethin' deep inside of you
And, I can tell that you've been lonely
And, you've had hard times too
'Cause we believed for nothin', it seems
And, now it's shattered all apart, like a broken heart
It's the end, it's a start

And, we can get there if we try
And, I wanna live if I have to die
And, it'll come so sweet and softly, like a song
And, really turn me on, like a lover like a song
Really turn me on, really turn me on

And, there's somethin' inside that's been burnin'
And, there's somethin' inside I've been learnin'
And, I can't hide cause it's all over me
And, deep inside of you, inside of you
Deep inside of you, inside of you

I don't wanna talk about that anymore
When there's nothin' goin' on
And, somethin' should be done
'Cause we believed for nothin', it seems
And, now it's ended broken-hearted
And, as anyone can see, there was no way we'd agree

And, we can get there if we try
And, I wanna live if I have to die
And, here's a chance for you to see
What this pain's been doin' to me
And, I wanna lose it everyone
And, have a heartache on the run
And, we can get there if we try
And, I wanna live if I have to die
If I have to die, if I have to die

[Greywind]

You could have been all right
You could have been here tonight
You could have been sweet as wine
You could have been a lady

You could have been all right
You could have been here tonight
You could have been sweet as wine
You could have been a lady

They all need you
To make love to
When you awake
You'll find them on the bed
Lying beside you
They all love you
You're a good girl
And you are surprised
When you realize
Which way you're going to

You could have been all right
You could have been here tonight
You could have been sweet as wine
You could have been a lady

You could have been all right
You could have been here tonight
You could have been sweet as wine
You could have been a lady

If I told you
Where you're going to
You'd laugh in my face
It's not my place
Mind your business
They all want you
To make love to
It's a shame to play the game
The way you've been lied to

You could have been all right
You could have been here tonight
You could have been sweet as wine
You could have been a lady

You could have been all right
You could have been here tonight
You could have been sweet as wine
You could have been a lady

[Greywind]

When I try to phone, they say you're not at home
I don't believe that it's true
And when we fool around, you always put me down
Now what am I supposed to do

When you won't dance with me
And you won't hold hands with me
And that's not the way to be
Girl, you're treating me bad

So why should I bother to try
And why should I cry
When you don't want my love
When you don't want my love

I used to walk you home, now I walk alone
And it seems that you don't care
And when we're at school, you say I'm a fool
Why must you treat me so unfair

And you won't dance with me
And you won't hold hands with me
And that's not the way to be
Girl, you're treating me bad
So why should I bother to try
And why should I cry
When you don't want my love
When you don't want my love
