> Oh my my
Look what I've done I'm on the run I've got California I kissed you goodbye With a tear in my eye I packed up my truck and went for a drive These white yellow lines These angel filled skies The Road might be long But it's my road tonight It's a Leonard Cohen song A Buddah/Allah Monk You can be anything you want I'm an Italian Catholic punk and I'm on my way On my way Oh la la lo, I'm on my way The ocean appears The wind slaps my face Oh, Shangri La What a beautiful place I'm nervous but steady I'm scared but I'm ready No turning back 3000 miles in a Chevy And I slam on the breaks Put my toes in the sand Look to the consellations And I throw up my hands I said, God be my driver God, be my lighter Nobody ages I guess nobody dies here I'll be careful for what I wish for in this life Cause I know, I'll miss yesterday I'll come back to you before I'm old and grey I'll come home But it seems so far away The sky turned red The ocean pulled away What the hell's going on How come no one's afraid I said hey Mr Soul What you got for me I pulled out my wallet I know nothing here's free And God do you back this This town is a black list Oh boy what a big mess Even Mickey's on acid I'm willing, and able My cards are on this fable Come on, Alice, we're too good to wait tables I'll be careful for what I wish for in this life Cause I know, I'll miss yesterday I'll come back to you before I'm old and grey I'll come home...it seems so far away Seems so far away You're so far away Oh ohohaoh And oh ohohaoh Oh Oh my my what have I done? What have I done? I went to California I'm gonna leave California... |

I remember the days when we talked for hours
And we were young, we thought we had superpowers We kissed the sky, expanded our minds, thought we could fly We were dreamers and we'd never die We were young punks but we showed potential Was us against the world, we weren't sentimental We weren't our problems, our age or our paychecks And we weren't taking anybody's shit If I know now what I knew then I'd back up do it all again I'd take a bow, take it real slow Take a ride down that yellow brick road Know now what I knew then I'd back up do it all again I'd take a bow, take it real slow Take a ? take a ride down that yellow brick road Come on, come on rise up Come on, come on rise up Come on, come on rise The winters were cold but we had your parents basement This underground was for sinners and we embraced it Magic pills, fairy tales, Syd Barrett's ghost Oh, we'd all get on that spaceship We measured our lives in coffee spoons And those Friday nights quickly turned into Sunday afternoons We weren't our money, our muscles or our regrets We were having a mere life experience If I know now what I knew then I'd back up do it all again I'd take a bow, take it real slow Take a ride down that yellow brick road Know now what I knew then I'd back up do it all again I'd take a bow, take it real slow Take a ride down that yellow brick road I remember the days when we talked for hours And we were young, we thought we had superpowers We weren't our problems, our age or our paychecks And we weren't taking anybody's shit If I know now what I knew then I'd back up do it all again I'd take a bow, take it real slow Take a ride down that yellow brick road Know now what I knew then I'd back up do it all again I'd take a bow, take it real slow Take a ride down that yellow brick road Take a bow, take it real slow Take a ride down that yellow brick road Come on, come on rise up Come on, come on rise up Come on, come on rise |

Caught between the stars and underground
I'm climbing up just to get back down My lips are moving but make no sound Don't leave me here this way. Oh God what did i do I had nine lives now i only got two Tried to call couldn't get through I wrote a letter, did it get to you? It said, Dead God life aint kind People living, people dying I'm putting all my money on hold The more I learn the less I know Caught between the stars and underground I'm climbing up just to get back down My lips are moving but make no sound Don't leave me here this way. Oh no how do you breathe How do you love and is he a she I got one hand taking the fifth One hand making a fist and Oh God what do I do I said oh God Im talking to you The past the future The future the past You think you're looking forward But you're really looking back Caught between the stars and underground I'm climbing up just to get back down My lips are moving but make no sound Don't leave me here this way. This is all the punches that we take This is making love and sleeping late This is all the money that we make That we save for that holiday This is standing up not backing down And this is all the tears of a clown And this is all the gold that was sold at the end of the rainbow (Spoken Word Part) |

I know this girl as pretty as can be
The sign of an Aquarius, she was born on the 18th UFOs, snakes and spiders, give her the creeps And she's got a half life A half smile and lives in semi luxury Questions God, drugs and bullets And the high school beauty queen And she's courageous but scared to death But that's what courage means She's looking for some courage She feels faithless, she feels earthless She wants to run, she's strugglin' for purpose I tell her hang in now it's worth it You've just begun, you've just begun Her bedroom is her temple The books and the stereo her muse And she feels humbled by this equation And sets fire to all her shoes Not because of Henry Miller She's just not leaving anytime soon And as the smoke pours out her window An image forms behind the moon And it looks like the face of Jesus But if it's Jesus, she needs proof At the heart of the matter, the matter of fact The science of matter, she hopes that it's true She's looking for some courage She feels faithless, she feels earthless She wants to run, she's strugglin' for purpose I tell her hang in you know it's worth it You've just begun, you've just begun and you've just begun And oh, and oh, just begun and oh, and oh, just begun |

Today I got to thinking the world's in a strange way
Feels like I'm at a 7/11 when a robbery takes place Do I hide behind the counter with my hands covering my face? Or, or do I dive for the gunman before he makes his break? Does a .45 go off and the bullets ricochet? This is not some random nightmare See for me, well, this is everyday Though I've been waiting for this train to come 'round I've been waiting for the deal to go down I've been looking for the things not found So far, so far away, I'm just doing my best today With all the cigarettes and alcohol and a few minutes to pray But it don't do what it used to so, we'll have hell to pay A penny for your thoughts, a penny for my cliches Oh, I tried to get some distance, I tried to escape But this nightmare's so persistent in a Shakespeare kind of way Be not afraid, oh, fuck that be very afraid Though I've been waiting for this train to come 'round I've been waiting for the deal to go down I've been looking for the things not found, so far, so far away Well, I'm just doing my best today Who sold you out? We did, we did And who let you down? We did, we did Who put on this crown? We did, we did We did, we did, we did Who sold you out? We did, we did And who let you down? We did, we did Who put on this crown? We did, we did We did, we did We did, we did Who sold you out? We did, we did And who let you down? We did, we did Who put on this crown? We did, we did We did, we did We did, we did Oh yes, we did, we did Oh yes, we did, we did |

Just don't know what to say
I'm tongue tied, I'm a scatter brain Can't eat, can't sleep these days Staring out past the milky way My head spins, my heart explodes I'm a sheep in these wolf clothes Senses on overload These are my confessions I write them on the wall Obsessed with my obsessions I'm not surprised at all In need of some direction Some expensive therapy I emptied out my pockets But the best things in life are free Just don't know what to say Oh God, make it all go away I can't love, can't hate these days Damn, I just want to be entertained Been high and I've been low The devil's here to take my soul I can't take this anymore These are my confessions I write them on the wall Obsessed with my obsessions I'm not surprised at all In need of some direction Some expensive therapy I emptied out my pockets But the best things in life are free Out there in the distance, a sunrise Only for a moment, I'll rest these eyes Oh, I sing but I'm dumb and it's a shame Oh, I sing no one's won it's just a game These are my confessions I write them on the wall Obsessed with my obsessions I'm not surprised at all In need of some direction Some expensive therapy I emptied out my pockets But the best things in life are free These are my confessions |

She's sweet like honey
Sour like democracy She don't want your money She needs your sympathy She'll be your greatest lover But she doesn't belong to you She's unlike any other She doesn't belong to you Oh, she's your China doll She's patient, won't be for long She's hopeful, the time's running low She's gone before you know She's the alarm bell ringing And she's your latest fix The fat lady singing The truth and that's some trick Oh, she's your china doll She's patient, won't be for long She's hopeful, the time's running low She'll be gone before you know Before you know, before you know Before you know, you know She's sweet like honey Sour like democracy And she don't want your money She needs your sympathy |

One, two, picking up the pace
Three, four, rat is in the race I'm on the land, I'm on the chase I'm on the hunt, I've got no time to waste One clue gotta take the bait Burst through all the barricades It's got teeth, it's got fangs It's got me in the palm of its hands I said, I want you I said, I want you Oh, do you know what I mean' Oh, do you know what I mean' My eyes are hollow My bones beggin' for sleep I won't make it through tomorrow I'm useless with these wooden wings This love, gotta break it down Chew it up, spit it out I don't know where it could be I don't know how it found me Arms wide crucified, crucifix It's gonna fix it tonight She said, it's coming for me I threw away my church key My eyes are hollow My bones beggin' for sleep I won't make it through tomorrow I'm useless with these wooden wings I'll ride away On a cloud made out of hopeless treasure I'll smile and wave At his golden gates |

I saw Abbie Hoffman's ghost in the distance,
We got Saul Williams keeping up the resistance. And punk rock and blues music keep dying, We keep buying. Matt Stone and Trey Parker have taken over the mission, Cause our politicians they don?t have a position. Who?s to blame for this shallow existence? Our existence. We try and fight, but this wall's too high Have we lost tonight? But one second chance could change everything. And I think I'll go write my senator a letter, But they just talk shit they ain?t gonna make nothing better. Me and Bev we ain't two birds of a feather, Of a feather. And I'm counting on Chomsky, McClellan, Aldous Huxley and the intelligencia. Well Cat Stevens he got out and he ain?t missin? ya And this overpriced and candy coated life, does it fit ya? Does it fit ya? We try and fight, but this wall's too high Have we lost tonight? But one second chance could change everything. These are bloody faces we hold in the fire. Open up the gates, but I don't ask why. These are bloody faces we hold in the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire. And these are bloody faces we hold in the fire. Open up the gates, I don't ask why. These are bloody faces we hold in the fire, but it?s time, it?s time to sing. We try and fight, but this wall's too high. Have we lost tonight? But one second chance could change everything, could change everything. And these are bloody faces we hold in the fire. Open up the gates, and I don't ask why (could change everything). These are bloody faces we hold in the fire, but it's time, it?s time to sing. Have we lost this fight? |
