No Such Thing (2:44) InstrumentalNow and Then (2:44) Nowand Then,
where the sidewalk
meets the sun we go
And if I was easy,
I was everything
You don't believe me,
but it really doesn't
matter this time Now and Then,
Where the sidewalk
meets the endless tide,
To purple places,
bring us everywhere
You don't believe me,
But it really doesn't matter
cuz I really can't remember If you want I can
let you live my life
If you want I can
tell you its alright
And if you don't
summer comes
and takes away
your everything
and there you are The sun rings
of another time, it's ok
You fall back
and way down, you're ok Clear Blue (4:18) He said and no one listened
He means, he dreams, he screams and no one
Listens to him Not gonna live & die at your feet
Not gonna sleep on ground zero anymore
Not gonna sing and dance on your street
And I can't be your freakin hero anymore I can see you clear blue, I see right thru
Like a hole in the sky
If I've asked you a question the answer is why? Upon Avalon (4:25) What'sit like to make forgiveness your own,
What's it like to hide the child inside,
You hold my face and I draw your anger out, that face so alone
And they're making faces and they're making fists
but its hard to swing with the sarcasm
that's tied around their wrists
Another day, one more year
Sometimes it's hard to makea sound
loud enough for the whole world to hear. An your calling out, but you're falling down again
And they told me you were Upon Avalon
when the rain began. And their thoughts are never gray
And their eyes are never gray
And their scars are never gray
And we stand around Should I awake? All I got I gave to you
Should I awake? All I got I wish you see us there
Should I awake? All I got I gave to you
Should I, don't mind my intolerance
Everytime you appear I can see us there. Mushroom (4:00) YesterdayI thanked the sun
For almost everything he'd done
Cuz I know it must be hard, to make it
Green in my backyard
Saw a mushroom on a hill, standing proud
And standing still, he told me I would never
Be alone Turn away from time my child
You'll have your day in the sun
You can run to the end of the world I knelt down to pray, I asked for redemption today
But no one was listening
How many times round the sun must we go til we've
Begun to believe in an hour or two Should ask for a ride, can't run, might as well fly
There's a reason I drown in a pool of myself
Everybody needs a piece of the time and if they can't have their own
They can't have mine, tell me where's your serenity Yesterday they dropped the bomb, and I saw the mushroom come
And we laughed, and then we prayed, underneath the acid rain
And the cars stopped on the freeway, and the sun just disappeared
And my mother's face was frozen in a smile Brother's Hand (4:13) Countingstars on my ceiling and building a wall
That I use to hang pictures of what I once was
And the reason I've asked you here is not what you think
It was only to hold me up so I don't fall down And the lives that they've promised us - nothing,never
And the riddles they told us, well I don't get it
Just a hand is enough to keep us together
On the outside everything's fine, we look
Way down inside, way down again Brother I'm wasted, Brother I can't believe I'm alive
I can't catch the wind, but I've chased it
Brother I'm here again Carry this thought with you even when I'm not around
All your patience will give you whatever you need
And the lives we made for ourselves we deliver
And we stand cuz we've learned not to crawl
And the cold breath of lonliness makes me shiver
Cuz without us, we're nothing at all, we look… Not Far Away (4:24) Wanna be a cocaine disco god
An American junkie
And he never lets anybody understand
Wanna be a cocaine useless god
An American junkie
And he's the one who can't spend enough
Not Far Away
Not Far Away
Not Far Away War on Drugs (4:49) It was long ago,
seems like a dream,
The day I sucked the air
from a bottle of whipped cream...
And I got real high,
and things got real slow,
and I started talking like this...
What's going on, I don't know
and then I sold my car
for a Grateful Dead ticket.
And my dad yelled at me,
and he grounded me,
and he said I was a dick,
it was the worst day of my life.
And I'll never forget,
but the very next day I was doing bong hits
in the back of my friend's chevette
So don't tell me we're winning the war on drugs
'cuz drugs are like a big ol' can of raid,
and you're all little bugs.
And don't tell me to not get high,
'cuz I'm as low as I can get without kissing your ass
and blowing you at the same time.
{chorus}
Man, don't tell me about love and peace
when one of the Joneses has a handgun pointed at me.
Don't tell me to "Just Say No",
I'm an addict, I say no to letting it go
What ever happened to Sex, Drugs, and Rock'n'Roll?
Now we've just got AIDS, crack, and techno.
So they busted me for selling dope.
And I went to jail, and I wasn't forgiven [and if I wasn't white, it was
the kind of a night]
like that little fucker who shot the pope. [that they'd pull a Rodney
King on the side of the curb]
And they said I had the right to remain silent,
but they couldn't explain
how I didn't resist, and I wasn't violent,
because all I've ever wanted is the right to remain
and they questioned me, and they asked me... Why?
I don't think I should be shot
for selling pot
its just my little way of saying "Hi"...
And now my record's all fucked up
and I'm not allowed to vote,
and two times a week they make me piss in a cup
when what I want to do is piss down their throats
{chorus}
And they told me that times have changed.
'Cuz our parents had Henrix, Janis, and Jim,
but what about River Phoenix [Chris Farley], and Kurt Cobain?
And they told me to praise the lord,
But I've been waiting for so long for him to call me back,
I think I'm gonna go pray at Betty Ford.
And they told me that life is fair,
But I can't smoke a plant that was made by God,
but I can kill my wife if I'm a football player
{chorus} Mercy (4:19) Show me the secret you're pretending
to keep inside, to ease the pain
We'd like to have a happy ending
but your empire of illusion
falls like rain And when it's time
You'll walk the jagged line
Change places then we'll see
I bet you'd beg for Mercy Rivers of peace flow through your vision
But did you bother asking why?
We'd like to know if your decision
Has given you wings, but taken away the sky This voice inside
Has called my name
Then it spoke no words to me
And in the end, I've come
To see it rise and see it fall… Deaf, Dumb, and Blind (4:10) I never learned to speak but I can hum
When my head nods softly like the beat of a drum
And I am nothing if not thorough
I am nothing in your eyes Cuz I'm a blind man, in a dark room
Looking for a shadow, that's not there
I'm a blind man, in a dark room
Looking for a shadow, that's not there
So I... Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down
It's just the sound of the whole world breakin' down
Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down
Hey I'd like to turn the page and find out where we are
But my book's burning somewhere in a churchyard
I became the master of my own little dance
If it made you turn your back, I don't give a fuck Cuz I'm a blind man, in a dark room
Looking for a shadow, that's not there
I'm a blind man, in a dark room
Looking for a shadow, that's not there
So I... Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down
It's just the sound of the whole world breakin' down
Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down She lies today so she lies awake
She lies awake so she lies today I never learned to speak but I can hum
When my head's nods softly like the beat of a drum
And I am nothing if not thorough
I am nothing in your eyes Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down
It's just the sound of the whole world breakin' down
Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down Solution (7:35) Iknow you can't get back in today
I know you can't live with a little bit of rhythm
But it's all in your head
I can, he can, you can, they can, we can
Shake hands with the man who has planned
To damn your fate I'm not saying I know the solution
I'm not trying to give you advice
Nobody's trying to start a revolution
Maybe that would be nice I know you live with a little bit of
Water but where's your bread?
I keep on, slamming it into a little bit
Of the old brick wall in my head You're so up on life without your head on
At least you're blind to everything that's going on
And if someone should take the mask off
Your reflection isn't anyone you know Medley (Laughing Colors/Purple/Plastic Jericho/Good News/So Damn Happy) (8:36) Light (1:50) Haveyou seen me? I believe in everything
And then I wore my riddle again… Get yourself a little light, anytime, anyway
It's never too late to save yourself
Spend your lifetime running away
It's never too late to save yourself  |
