Vicious Dog        menu My head is a wrecking ball I only stop to think of you again My mind is vicious dog I only lay down when your gone again I don’t wanna know What I’m doing or what I’ve done I don’t wanna know Where I’m going or where I’ve been My life is tic tac toe You're every X and every O to me My life is pick up stiks I treasure every bone ou throw to me I don’t wanna know When it starts or when it ends I don’t wanna know When to kneel or when to stand Maybe it’s enough to say alright It’s enough to be just O.K. Maybe it’ll never be the right time It’ll never be the right space My head is a long dark night I only wait to see the day I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna |

Under Glass        menu The jig is up We've been caught out The jig is up We're going all the way down Wherever I go I'm always in Rome The same names and faces So far from home Where are we going Don't even ask We're left of the center But still under glass We eat the movies We drink TV We're driving billboards To our houses by the sea Wherever I go I'm never alone I blocked all the doorways But they're still in my home The fall of the empire It's coming up fast Here's meat and sugar Now stay under glass |
|
I want to be alone now but I'm scared to be on my own I want to know my thoughts are apart from all that I'm told I want to be where I'm fine just the way that I am If I'm lost then I'm lost but I can't take the thought that I'll never know just where I stand Wherever I go I'm never alone I change my direction They point me back home Where are we going That's all in the past We know what you?re thinking Now stay under glass |
|
Gather Up        menu Here I am The wasted path the ragged rose Why you come well, heaven knows Gather up now All your tools and all your friends Gather up now It never ends Pick a card Place the bet you used to make Be amazed at what you’d stake Gather up now All your harvest all your friends Gather up now all you spend We’re not the same We’re not the same at all Standing by a telephone while you’re waiting on a train There you are With all your books and all your pens There you are With everything Gather up now Make it worth the words you say Gather up now before you’re dead |

Poor Me Blues        menu I feel bad I feel I'm so rotten Oh, poor me Just let it rain I'm so tired Can't even get my freak on I'm so tired Oh poor me Just let it rain It's not a lack of will I just can't get my fill I have a cigarette, another beer, a piece cake another beer, a cigarette, a candy bar, a chocolate bar Just let it rain |

Wise Now        menu The wave broke Right where everybody said it would But knowledge isn’t everything And the ship sank anyway They all spoke They said son you’re gonna hafta watch that girl But no one moved a muscle As she pulled him under and the water covered his face But I’m wise now It’s a little thing I learned as I lay there dying I’m wise now You can fall apart without even trying I’m wise now I caught it right between the eyes now The sun rose But everything’s cheaper in the dark And if you play dead long enough You can feel just like you are |
|
The ghost spoke He’d been talkin’ that nonsense all along But even though I knew I’d pay for it I still begged him to show me how to be a star But I’m wise now A little thing I learned when I gave up trying I’m wise now Learn how to lie and then just keep on lying I’m wise now Gotcha right between the eyes now Dogs die Children grow up and make amends Tongues lie Starin’ slack jaw at the truth While bones dry Somebody that someone new But everybody’s happy When the summer comes around again |
|
Everybody’s happy Even though it’s not here to stay It’s all good You’re right where you’re supposed to be Scars become apart of you if they don’t just fade away Knock wood Try to bring something to the show And get the dimmest recognition of who I am or what I ought to say But I’m wise now It’s a little thing I learned when I gave up dying I’m wise now You can fall together with out even lying I’m wise now Right between the eyes now |
|
Paid For        menu Come on baby yeah I’m a wicked one I’m a movie screen I’m a television I’m a radio I’m an incubus I’m the lady lust I’m the one you trust Just let it go It’s nothing like we said But it’s everything you paid for If you like red I’ll be red If you like blue Then I’ll be blue Spin until it’s bent Always provident Truth’s an accident I just want to rule I’m nothing like I said But I’m everything you paid for |

|
Beautiful        menu Time is just relentless Time’s a sneaky bastard Space is never ending But to little is a hazard Tripping in the darkness Looking for an answer I just want to slow down But you keep going faster Say Goodbye. I am the beautiful I like simple rhythms I like pretty colors I like deeper meanings But sometimes they’re a bother I can see the future It looks like cattle grazing Don’t bother trying to tear it down There’s nothing to replace it When angels cry and water falls Shadows come so sleep my darling Dreams escape you’ll wake up to A brutal world that’s much more strange than it is wonderful |
|
Out There        menu Can you feel the weight Can you feel it hold you under Can you feel the weight Can you feel it hold you Read between the lines All the happy girls have gone home But you're still out there Do you really want the world Up there on your shoulders Do you want the hill And still hang onto the boulder Put the gun away All the happy boys have gone home But you're still out there Do you think you can find peace of mind enough to just sit down and listen Could you put the stick away long enough To see the world for what it is Welcome to hour when you find out everything's o.k. Welcome to the hour when you realize you never were alone Welcome to the hour when you fall down and find yourself Welcome to the hour welcome to the hour |
|
Please yourself you were gonna do it anyway Bleed yourself it doesn't matter what I say Bring it home |

Eye of God        menu I look back on a life of erosion I confess to the mess that I made Turned my back on my childhood heros Dr. Seuss doesn’t medicate I complain ‘bout the time that I’m wasting Just the same I’m wasting it still Thought my life would be one big explosion Turned out to be more like a spill I’ve been to the man, I’ve been to the man I didn’t know what to see I’ve been to the man, I’ve been to the man He looked like a Goddess to me I’ve been to the man, I’ve been to the man I’ve been to the eye of God I look back on a life of confusion Never did half the things that I said There must have been a host of angels To bring back to life something that dead |

Big Black Veil        menu When I looked up one afternoon I saw the sun and moon They both hung up there in the sky And I wondered why Because when one comes Doesn’t the other have to go? Big Black Veil Won’t you be my friend If the sun and moon can share the sky Then do I have to die? And if you can’t be sure of what you’ve found Maybe I’ll just stick around Is the sun or moon gone Just because I don’t see it there Big Black Veil Won’t you be my friend I don’t know why I‘m afraid I might be gone to long I don’t know why I think I might not make it home Big Black Veil Won’t you be my friend |
