    We used to get high together,
    instead of getting high alone.
    I can't remember the last time I saw you.
    I can't remember the last time we talked.
    You left home for a fresh start,
    working as a waitress down in Bradenton.
    With my name tattooed into your skin.

    Because of the shame
    I associate with vulnerability
    I am numbing myself completely.
    Can you hear me right now?
    I watched your mother bury you today,
    with tears in her eyes.
    It wasn't her words that shook me,
    it was the resemblance you shared.

    Don't it feel so detached and unreal?
    Don't it seem so far away?
    Like the past never happened,
    or like nothings ever changed.
    With your casket open in front of me,
    your eyes closed and your lips silent.
    With my name tattooed into your skin.

    Because of the shame
    I associate with vulnerability
    I am numbing myself completely.
    Can you hear me right now?
    I watched your mother bury you today,
    with tears in her eyes.
    It wasn't her words that shook me,
    it was the resemblance you shared.

    I didn't listen to the preacher.
    I couldn't look your husband in the eyes.
    I'm not sure what I meant to you then,
    so I'm not sure what I owe you now.
    But if something I said hurt you
    I swear it was not my intention.
    With your name tattoo'd into my skin.

    Because of the shame
    I associate with vulnerability
    I am numbing myself completely.
    Can you hear me right now?
    I watched your mother bury you today,
    with tears in her eyes.
    It wasn't her words that shook me,
    it was the resemblance you shared.

    I wanna take you home
    See your books and your shoes
    Stay up all night
    Drink a bottle or two
    Whatcha wanna do?
    Anything that you want.

    Come over my way
    Give me the time of day
    Up close we're brighter than the sun
    Can I be your only one?

    Whatcha wanna do?
    Whatcha wanna do?
    Whatcha wanna do?
    Anything that you want
    Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

    I'm yours, you're mine
    Wish you could read my mind
    I say too much, I keep you up
    Will you love me enough?
    I will, for two, do you?

    I know you do
    I know you do
    Whatcha wanna do?
    Anything that you want

    Hey you ! out there in the cold
    Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me
    Hey you ! Standing in the aisles
    With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
    Hey you ! don't help them to bury the light
    Don't give in without a fight.
    Hey you ! out there on your own
    sitting naked by the phone would you touch me
    Hey you ! with your ear against the wall
    Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me
    Hey you ! would you help me to carry the stone
    Open your heart, I'm coming home
    But it was only a fantasy
    The wall was too high as you can see
    No matter how he tried he could not break free
    And the worms ate into his brain.
    Hey you ! out there on the road
    Always doing what you're told, can you help me
    Hey you ! out there beyond the wall
    Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
    Hey you ! don't tell me there's no hope at all
    Together we stand, divided we fall.


    Wish you were here...

    Long ago in days I'm told
    Were ruled by Lords of greed
    Maidens fared with gold
    They dared to bare their wombs that bleed

    Kings and queens and guillotines
    Taking lives denied
    Starch and parchment laid the laws
    When bishops took the ride
    Only to deceive

    Oh I know I lived this life afore
    Somehow know now truths I must be sure
    Tossin turnin' nightmares burnin' dreams of swords in hand
    Sailin' ships the Viking spits the blood of father's land
    Only to deceive

    Living times of knights and mares
    Raising swords for maidens fair
    Sneer at death fear only loss of pride

    Living other centuries
    Deja vu or what you please
    Follows true to all who do or die

    Screams of no reply they died
    Screams of no reply and died
    Lordy lordy and then then they died
    Lordy no then they died

    Live and do or die
    Long ago were days I told...Lord they died
    Kings and queens and guillotines...
    Live and no reply they died
    Long ago were days I told...
    Kings and queens and guillotines...

    Wish you were here...

    Too long on the road, my friend
    Too long between rides
    Too long between homes again
    Too long without someone by my side

    And Lord, there's something 'bout a sad song
    That helps to ease the pain
    Here I am, Lord, just singing up a storm
    And I'm all alone again

    Too much going down today
    Just can't take it in
    Too much running 'round today
    Can't tell you where I've been

    Seems that just like singing in the only thing to do
    Only thing to help me pass the time
    Songs are just like ladies--can't forget them when you're through
    And they're always on your mind

    And the rosewood bitters
    Help me meet the sunshine in the morning
    And the rosewood bitters
    Help me through the night
    When I feel blue

    Too few stop to pass the time
    Guess that's how it goes
    So sure that there's much more than this
    When really no one knows

    And easing into midnight
    As the bitters pass around
    Crying in my beer
    Singing someone else's troubles
    Help to ease your own
    Goodnight, Irene, my dear

    And the rosewood bitters
    Help me meet the sunshine in the morning
    And the rosewood bitters
    Help me through the night
    When I feel blue....

    Haven't been home in a year or more
    I hope she holds on a little longer
    Sent a letter on a long summer day
    Made of silver, not of clay
    I've been runnin' down this dusty road

    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
    I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
    Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

    I've been trying to make it home
    Got to make it before too long
    I can't take this very much longer
    I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
    Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again
    The mornin' sun is risin'
    It's kissing the day


    Wish you were here...

  • How time will heal
    Make me forget
    You promised me
    Time will heal
    Make me forget
    You promised me
    Love will save us all
    And time will heal
    You promised me...
    How love will save
    Make me forget
    You promised me
    Love will save
    Make me forget
    You promised me
    Time will heal us all
    And love will save
    You promised me...
    I trusted you
    I wanted your words
    Believed in you
    I needed your words
    Time will heal
    make me forget
    And love will save us all
    You promised me another wish
    Another way
    You promised me another dream
    Another day
    You promised me another time
    You promised me another life
    You promised me..
    So I swallowed the shame and I waited
    I buried the blame and I waited
    Choked back years of memories...
    I pushed down the pain and I waited
    Trying to forget...
    You promised me another wish
    Another way
    You promised me another dream
    Another day
    You promised me another time
    You promised me...
    Another lie
    Oh you promised me...
    You promised me... You promised me...
    And I waited... And I waited... And I waited...
    And I'm still waiting...

    When your day is long
    And the night, the night is yours alone
    When you're sure you've had enough
    Of this life, well hang on

    Don't let yourself go
    'Cause everybody cries
    And everybody hurts sometimes

    Sometimes everything is wrong
    Now it's time to sing along
    When your day is night alone (Hold on, hold on)
    If you feel like letting go (Hold on)
    If you think you've had too much
    Of this life, well hang on

    Everybody hurts
    Take comfort in your friends
    Everybody hurts
    Don't throw your hand, oh no

    Don't throw your hand
    If you feel like you're alone
    No, no, no, you are not alone

    Wish you were here...

  • With heavy breath...awakened regrets...
    Back pages and days alone that could have been spent
    Together... but we were...miles apar...t
    Every inch between us becomes light years now...
    No need to be void...or save up on life...
    You got to spend it all.

    Some say love, it is a river
    That drowns the tender reed.
    Some say love, it is a razor
    That leaves your soul to bleed.
    Some say love, it is a hunger,
    An endless aching need.
    I say love, it is a flower,
    And you its only seed.

    It's the heart afraid of breaking
    That never learns to dance.
    It's the dream afraid of waking
    That never takes the chance.
    It's the one who won't be taken,
    Who cannot seem to give,
    And the soul afraid of dyin'
    That never learns to live.

    When the night has been too lonely
    And the road has been too long,
    And you think that love is only
    For the lucky and the strong,
    Just remember in the winter
    Far beneath the bitter snows
    Lies the seed that with the sun's love
    In the spring becomes the rose.


    Wish you were here...

    Childhood living is easy to do
    The things you wanted I bought them for you
    Graceless lady you know who I am
    You know I can't let you slide through my hands

    Wild horses couldn't drag me away
    Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

    I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
    Now you decided to show me the same
    No sweeping exits or offstage lines
    Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

    Wild horses couldn't drag me away
    Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

    I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
    I have my freedom but I don't have much time
    Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
    Let's do some living after we die

    Wild horses couldn't drag me away
    Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day
    Wild horses couldn't drag me away
    Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day



    Wish you were here...

    I have a tale to tell
    Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
    I was not ready for the fall
    Too blind to see the writing on the wall

    A man can tell a thousand lies
    I've learned my lesson well
    Hope I live to tell
    The secret I have learned, 'till then
    It will burn inside of me

    I know where beauty lives
    I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
    The light that you could never see
    It shines inside, you can't take that from me

    The truth is never far behind
    You kept it hidden well
    If I live to tell
    The secret I knew then
    Will I ever have the chance again

    If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
    To go very far
    How would they hear the beating of my heart
    Will it grow cold
    The secret that I hide, will I grow old
    How will they hear
    When will they learn
    How will they know

    Wish you were here...

    They made up their minds
    And they started packing
    They left before the sun came up that day
    An exit to eternal summer slacking
    But where were they going without ever
    Knowing the way?

    They drank up the wine
    And they got to talking
    They now had more important things to say
    And when the car broke down they started walking
    Where were they going without ever
    Knowing the way?

    [Chorus:]
    Anyone can see the road that they walk on
    Is paved in gold
    And it's always summer
    They'll never get cold
    They'll never get hungry
    They'll never get old and grey
    You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
    They won't make it home
    But they really don't care
    They wanted the highway
    They're happier there today, today

    Their children woke up
    And they couldn't find them
    They left before the sun came up that day
    They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
    But where were they going without ever
    Knowing the way?

    Life, it seems, will fade away
    Drifting further every day
    Getting lost within myself
    Nothing matters, no one else

    I have lost the will to live
    Simply nothing more to give
    There is nothing more for me
    Need the end to set me free

    Things not what they used to be
    Missing one inside of me
    Deathly lost, this can't be real
    Can't stand this hell I feel

    Emptiness is filling me
    To the point of agony
    Growing darkness taking dawn
    I was me, but now he's gone

    No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
    Now I can't think, think why I should even try

    Yesterday seems as though it never existed
    Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye, *Goodbye*...

    So, so you think you can tell
    Heaven from Hell,
    Blue skies from pain.
    Can you tell a green field
    From a cold steel rail?
    A smile from a veil?
    Do you think you can tell?

    Did they get you to trade
    Your heroes for ghosts?
    Hot ashes for trees?
    Hot air for a cool breeze?
    Cold comfort for change?
    And did you exchange
    A walk on part in the war
    For a lead role in a cage?

    How I wish, how I wish you were here.
    We're just two lost souls
    Swimming in a fish bowl,
    Year after year,
    Running over the same old ground.
    What have we found
    The same old fears.
    Wish you were here.

    I could never go with no one else...The hurt don't show, but who knows
    Time will tell.

    I love the term "go with" it's so old school. This lyric gives me the chills as I'm reading it right now.

    The Lightning Bolt version is so much better than the uke record I wish Pearl Jam would ease off the solo stuff and put all that energy and inspiration on Pearl Jam records.
    I found my place......and it's alright

    I'm in serious shit, I feel totally lost

    Being with you has opened my eyes
    Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?

    I keep asking myself, wondering how

    They say it's my fault but I want her so much
    Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain
    Come in over my face, wash away all the shame
    When they stop and stare - don't worry me
    'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me
    I can try to pretend, I can try to forget
    But it's driving me mad, going out of my head

    All the things she said

    Mother looking at me
    Tell me what do you see?
    Yes, I've lost my mind

    Daddy looking at me
    Will I ever be free?
    Have I crossed the line?

    All the things she said
    All the things she said
    Running through my head
    Running through my head
    Running through my head
    All the things she said
    All the things she said
    Running through my head
    Running through my head
    All the things she said
    All the things she said
    This is not enough
    This is not enough
    All the things she said
    All the things she said
    All the things she said
    All the things she said
    All the things she said
    All the things she said.

  • Give me release
    witness me
    I am outside
    give me peace

    Heaven holds a sense of wonder
    and I wanted to believe
    that I'd get caught up
    when the rage in me subsides

    In this white wave
    I am sinking
    in this silence
    in this white wave
    in this silence
    I believe

    Passion chokes the flower
    'til she cries no more
    possessing all the beauty
    hungry still for more

    Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

    I can't help this longing
    comfort me
    I can't hold it all in
    if you won't let me

    Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

    In this white wave
    I am sinking
    in this silence
    in this white wave
    in this silence
    I believe

    I have seen you
    in this white wave
    you are silent
    you are breathing
    in this white wave
    I am free

  • You can't see my eyes
    You can't see my eyes
    They don't see yours
    Hear me when I say
    They don't mind at all

    It's the rain that I hear coming
    Not a stranger or a ghost
    Its the quiet of the storm approaching
    That I fear the most
    Its the pain that I hear coming
    The slightest crystal tear
    Drops to the ground in silence
    When my love is near
    Darling, when did you fall?
    When was it over?
    Darling, when...
    When did you fall?
    When was it over?

    It's marching through my door now
    The stoney cold of lonesome
    A bell tolls for my heart
    And now my lonesome song begins
    It's marching through my door now
    The stoney cold of lonesome
    A bell tolls for my heart
    And now my lonesome song begins
    Darling, when did you call?
    I couldn't hear you.
    Darling, when...
    When did you cry?
    I couldn't hear you.

    I suppose it is the price of falling in love
    I suppose it is the price of falling in love

    Its the rain that I hear coming
    Not a stranger or a ghost
    But the quiet of the storm approaching
    That I fear the most
    Its the pain that I hear coming
    The slightest crystal tear
    Drops to the ground in silence
    When my love is near
    It's marching through my door now
    The stoney cold of lonesome
    A bell tolls for my heart
    And now my lonesome song will end
    Darling, when did we fall?
    When was it over?
    Darling, when..
    When did we fall?
    When was it over?

    I suppose it is the price of falling in love
    I fear it is the price of falling in love

  • I thought I knew you. You thought you knew me
    But now that you do, it's not so easy now
    That I know
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
  • This girl has got a smile
    That can make me cry
    This girl just burns with love
    She's burning burning deep outside

    Night time night time
    Sets my house on fire
    I'll turn into the melting man
    I'll lose my life
    To feel I feel desire

    Oh I should feel
    Like a polar bear
    Like a polar bear
    It's impossible

    She flies outside this cage
    Singing girl-mad words
    I keep her dark thoughts deep inside
    As black as stone
    As mad as birds

    Wild wild wild
    And never turn away
    Sends me all her love
    She sends me everything
    She sends me everywhere

    Oh I could be
    A polar bear
    Oh I could be
    A polar bear
    But it's impossible

    I try to talk
    The sky goes red
    I forget
    So fill my head
    With some of this
    Some of that
    Some of every word she said

    Oh I should be
    A polar bear
    But it's imposible
