Hold the light up to me
Get underneath my skin I feel a little undefined But I want to let you in And I listen to the messages The endless train of thought But now it feels like I'm returning Most everything I've bought Some say, it's all coming to an end Some fool themselves with thoughts of new beginnings It makes me wonder what they believe Cause we're in between Sometimes it's just better to get on with it Sometimes lord knows you gotta get off There's no use holding on to what I mean Cause I'm in between, no use wondering what I mean Saints and sinners, losers, winners Masters and their slaves The more you hide one or the other The earlier your grave The triumph and the tragedy The endless bright parade I know that most of us are innocent But some should be afraid 'Cause they say we're all coming to an end They fool themselves with thoughts of new beginnings Well I don't buy it, it's just too clean Cause we're in between Sometimes it's just better to get on with it Sometimes lord knows you gotta get off No use holding on to what I mean Cause I'm in between No use wondering what I mean Cause I'm in between Are you still wondering what I mean Hold the light up to me, get underneath my skin Humming like the wind I feel a little undefined, I'm sorry if I seem, So in between It's so much better when you run your fingers through my hair Humming like the air I wish that I could hold you, I'm sorry if I seem So in between |

She justified it then
She may well justify forever She figures it's the only way To keep herself together Something about hotel rooms and horses And losing all here friends And hearing all their voices She rubs it out, she covers it over She's stronger by far, than a war-torn soldier She rubs it out She makes a little money And sneds it to her mother She's living with some guy Who's fighting off the sharks She hopes some day She'll get some kind of letter Well you don't hold much If you haven't got the heart She rubs it out, she covers it over She's harder by far, than a war-torn solider She rubs it out Some time ago, I thought that she was trying to move on I thought wrong She rubs it out, she covers it over She's harder by far, than a war-torn soldier I'd die for her gladly Lord knows I've told her But she rubs it out I justified it then I may justify, forever |

Such an annoying conversation
I'm sorry but I'm tired of trying To be some picture of compassion And anyway it sounds like I'm lying And yes I've heard the world has conspired To steal away your god-given right To a happy home and comfortable children Next you'll sue them for abandoning you! [Chorus] So bite your tongue You're not the only one Who's been let down Bite your tongue Maybe it's good for you To hit the ground Oh, Christ it's gonna sound like I'm agreeing With the most ultra-boring ideas Of pop psychological western gurus Who haven't gotten lucky in years And so you see I have no intention Of giving you the easy way out Yes I'll smile as I burn the self-help section Of my local bookstore! [Chorus] Blame the shapes and blame the angles Blame it on your own dark planes If you blame on something other, The victim's song remains, Remains [Chorus] |

Did you come down to give me
Or take me away I had so many things to tell you But now I don't have much to say This feeling like we're hiding out Is getting in the way Let's quit the town just look around There's nothing here to keep us alive If they try to run us down You know I'm on your side And I want you to be my alibi So they won't find me And they won't find you And we may tell lies But we may be true Did you come down to take me Or give me away I had so many things to ask you Now you don't have much to say And these alchoholic afternoons Are getting in the way Let's quit the town just look around There's nothing here to keep us alive If they try to run us down You know I'm on your side And I want you to be my alibi So they won't find me And they won't find you And we may tell lies But we may be true I want to be your alibi Till the day we die |

Hit the town, still dressing down
Looking for some action Mr. Jagger said it best He knows you never get, no satisfaction But Mr. Dylan knows That everyone is more or less a rolling stone And Mr. Lennon, so quiet, knows better or so I've been told That says it all, doesn't it? We always want what we never get Well listen hear, my friend I can't continue to pretend That it's alright Cause that ain't right That ain't right I hear you're gonna make it big, Rake it in with your master plan, Mr. Hendrix understood Those are only castles made of sand Mr. Wilson took some pills, And I don't blame him It's hard to be alive, Mr. Page, how he played Mr. Drake stayed up late and made me cry That says it all, doesn't it? We always want what we never get Well listen hear, my friend I can't continue to pretend That it's alright They've said it all haven't they? But what I want, what I want to say Is listen hear my friend I can't continue to pretend That it's alright No matter what we get We never find our happiness Ain't that a crime? Maybe that's why I've been told Since I was six years old to compromise But that ain't right, That ain't right |

Faded longing
Tired of wanting Can't explain the fear that's haunting you Should I go on? I may be wrong So wrong Hear me calling from Eagle Mountain One of millions of suns Perfect nature Deepest wisdom Lies within everyone Everyone And everywhere the brilliant horizon Some say sacred Some profane There are no distinctions Then again, yes, I may be wrong But it feels right So right Hear me calling from Eagle Mountain One of millions of suns Perfect nature Deepest wisdom Lies within everyone Everyone And everywhere the brilliant horizon Cause everywhere lies within everyone |

Once in a while a man comes along
Even his failures were favorite songs Oh to have made something so unsurpassed As certain things fall away some certain things last A body goes down in the Mississippi waters Weighted by a beauty, afraid of its light Notify your holy men, console your sons and daughters And tell me one more time, what is just, what is right Chances are good we spread blasphemous lies Safe to say nobody knew what was inside Of course there is grace and those halos of pain Maybe he sang what he came here to sing A body goes down in the Mississippi waters Weighted by a beauty, afraid of its light Notify your holy men, console your sons and daughters And tell me one more time, what is just, what is right Speed on to the next world, speed on to the next life Better I'm sure by far Orpheus driven, treasures given Heal the most broken of hearts Speed on, speed on, speed on |

You play guitar for perfect strangers
You write some words they try to sell And then you sing these things in public sometimes not very well You get paid to go to parties Drinking colors...talking trash... You get laid because you're 'arty' And you wonder why it never lasts Maybe these are wonders...more than we may know Well I hate to steal your thunder You ain't nothing special You're no more celestial than anyone else As far as I can tell Call it mythology, we see what we want to see And everyone wants their distant dreams So sure enough they want your picture And your deepest point of view Well you should know you're not that pretty And you haven't got a clue But how you love the adoration You believe your 'in-house' press And half the critics always hate you So you get horribly depressed Maybe these are wonders, more than we may know Well, I hate to steal your thunder And I am the snake who bites his own tail |

Had a house full of riches
Threw it all away I'm not a worthy man No matter what you say I promised forever And left without a word I'm not a worthy man No matter what you've heard My mind and my spirit Were sharp and strong I threw it all away Tell me where did I go wrong But the purest of those moments Pierce me through and through Wistful and hopeless No matter what I do Somewhere within this heart of mine Demons are working overtime Would that I were ruled by sweet, sweet fate Never facing the choice I made I had a love of such beauty I just can't describe I threw it all away I could not tell you why But I remember her laughing Drenched in summer sun I'm not a worthy man But I could have been one Somewhere within this heart of mine Demons are working overtime Would that I ruled by sweet, sweet fate Never facing the choice I made I threw it all away Threw it all away She comes to me only in the hours before I wake |

He beat the drum and lit the fires
He sent the messages in vain But the sound of his philosophy Rose above the falling rain And to you who find it difficult To believe in anything I praise you for the outrage At the horror you have seen So I'm trying to remember I try to understand Every holocaust has meaning Not set in stone but drawn in sand And in some cold and barren place He spoke the phrase and thus I heard With every small decision You change a heart You change the world |
