  • Say it's the same sun spinning in the same sky
    Say it's the same stars streaming in the same night
    Tell me it's the same world whirling through the same space
    Tell me it's the same time tripping through the same day
    So say it's the same house and nothing in the house has changed
    Yeah say it's the same room and nothing in the room is strange
    Oh tell me it's the same boy burning in the same bed
    Tell me it's the same blood breaking in the same head
    Say it's the same taste taking down the same kiss
    Say it's the same you
    Say it's the same you and it's always been like this
    Say it's the same you
    Say it's the same you and it always and forever is
    Say it's the same you
    Say it's the same you and it's always been like this
    Say it's the same you
    Say it's the same you and it always and forever is
    Say it's the same you
    Say it's the same you
    Yeah tell me it's all the same
    This is how it's always been
    But if nothing has changed...
    Then it must mean...
    But the sun is cold - the sky is wrong
    The stars are black - the night is gone
    The world is still - the space is stopped
    The time is out - the day is dropped
    The house is dark - the room is scarred
    The boy is stiff - the bed is hard
    The blood is thick - the head is burst
    The taste is dry - the kiss is thirst
    And it's not the same you
    It's not the same you
    No it never was like this
    It's not the same you
    It's not the same you and it never really is
    It's not the same you
    It's not the same you
    No it never was like this
    It's not the same you
    It's not the same you and it never really is
    It's not the same you
    It's not the same you
    Oh it's not the same
    This isn't how it's always been
    Everything has to have changed...
    Or it's me...

    Some people talk to angels
    Some people talk to themselves
    Well I don't know who you're talking to
    But everything you say makes me want you

    You are a novel in a sea of magazines
    You make me nervous, you make my heart beat
    You are red in a sea of black and white
    You are a fire, you are dynamite

    Some people try to change the world
    And some people just stay alive
    Well I don't know what you're living for
    But everything you do makes me want more

    You are a novel in a sea of magazines
    You make me nervous, you make my heart beat
    You are red in a sea of black and white
    You are a fire, you are dynamite

    You are a novel in a sea of magazines
    You make me nervous, you make my heart beat
    You are red in a sea of black and white
    You are a fire, you are dynamite
    You are a fire, you are dynamite
    You are a fire, you are dynamite

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

    Emptiness is filling me
    To the point of irony
    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 good-bye


    Wish you were here...

    ’Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
    When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
    I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
    “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

    And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
    I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
    In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm
    “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

    Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
    Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
    Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm
    “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

    I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
    Poisoned in the bushes an’ blown out on the trail
    Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
    “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

    Suddenly I turned around and she was standin’ there
    With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
    She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
    “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

    Now there’s a wall between us, somethin’ there’s been lost
    I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed
    Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
    “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

    Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
    But nothing really matters much, it’s doom alone that counts
    And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
    “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

    I’ve heard newborn babies wailin’ like a mournin’ dove
    And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
    Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
    “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

    In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
    I bargained for salvation an’ they gave me a lethal dose
    I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
    “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

    Well, I’m livin’ in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line
    Beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday I’ll make it mine
    If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
    “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

    i'm on such a dylan kick these days....



    I once loved a girl, her skin it was bronze
    With the innocence of a lamb, she was gentle like a fawn
    I courted her proudly but now she is gone
    Gone as the season she’s taken

    Through young summer’s breeze, I stole her away
    From her mother and sister, though close did they stay
    Each one of them suffering from the failures of their day
    With strings of guilt they tried hard to guide us

    Of the two sisters, I loved the young
    With sensitive instincts, she was the creative one
    The constant scapegoat, she was easily undone
    By the jealousy of others around her

    For her parasite sister, I had no respect
    Bound by her boredom, her pride to protect
    Countless visions of the other she’d reflect
    As a crutch for her scenes and her society

    Myself, for what I did, I cannot be excused
    The changes I was going through can’t even be used
    For the lies that I told her in hopes not to lose
    The could-be dream-lover of my lifetime

    With unknown consciousness, I possessed in my grip
    A magnificent mantelpiece, though its heart being chipped
    Noticing not that I’d already slipped
    To a sin of love’s false security

    From silhouetted anger to manufactured peace
    Answers of emptiness, voice vacancies
    Till the tombstones of damage read me no questions but, “Please
    What’s wrong and what’s exactly the matter?”

    And so it did happen like it could have been foreseen
    The timeless explosion of fantasy’s dream
    At the peak of the night, the king and the queen
    Tumbled all down into pieces

    “The tragic figure!” her sister did shout
    “Leave her alone, God damn you, get out!”
    And I in my armor, turning about
    And nailing her to the ruins of her pettiness

    Beneath a bare lightbulb the plaster did pound
    Her sister and I in a screaming battleground
    And she in between, the victim of sound
    Soon shattered as a child ’neath her shadows

    All is gone, all is gone, admit it, take flight
    I gagged twice, doubled, tears blinding my sight
    My mind it was mangled, I ran into the night
    Leaving all of love’s ashes behind me

    The wind knocks my window, the room it is wet
    The words to say I’m sorry, I haven’t found yet
    I think of her often and hope whoever she’s met
    Will be fully aware of how precious she is

    Ah, my friends from the prison, they ask unto me
    “How good, how good does it feel to be free?”
    And I answer them most mysteriously
    “Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?”

  • The sun rises slowly
    On another day
    The eastern sky grows
    Cold
    Winter in water colours
    Shades of grey

    Something
    Something holds me
    Holds me hypnotized

    I stare at the window
    Stare at the window
    Waiting for the day
    To go
    Winter in water colours
    Shades of grey

    Leave the pain for someone else.

    Nothing back there for you to find,...
    Or was it you, you left behind?

    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...

    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...
