  • The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis
    Shinin, like who on top of this?
    People was tusslin, arguin and bustlin
    Gangstaz of Gotham hardcore hustlin
    I'm wrestlin with words and ideas
    My ears is picky, seekin what will transmit
    the scribes can apply to transcript, yo
    This ain't no time where the usual is suitable
    Tonight alive, let's describe the inscrutable
    The indisputable, we New York the narcotic
    Strength in metal and fiber optics
    where mercenaries is paid to trade hot stock tips
    for profits, thirsty criminals take pockets
    Hard knuckles on the second hands of workin class watches
    Skyscrapers is collosus, the cost of living
    is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no options
    No Batman and Robin, can't tell between
    the cops and the robbers, they both partners, they all heartless
    With no conscience, back streets stay darkened
    Where unbeliever hearts stay hardened
    My eagle talons STAY sharpened, like city lights stay throbbin
    You either make a way or stay sobbin, the Shiny Apple
    is bruised but sweet and if you choose to eat
    You could lose your teeth, many crews retreat
    Nightly news repeat, who got shot down and locked down
    Spotlight to savages, NASDAQ averages
    My narrative, rose to explain this existance
    Amidst the harbor lights which remain in the distance

    So much on my mind that I can't recline
    Blastin holes in the night til she bled sunshine
    Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
    Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
    Heard the bass ride out like an ancient mating call
    I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city breathin
    Chest heavin, against the flesh of the evening
    Sigh before we die like the last train leaving

    Out under the stars
    dodging them night cars baby
    cause when you gotta move, you gotta move
    whatever that it was
    you were thinking of lady
    you're certainly not thinking
    of it now,

    and nightbirds sing you
    and empty tune
    in an empty house
    in an empty room
    in an empty moment
    all the nightbirds sing
    we were suppose to rise above
    but we sink

    I feel like a body stuffed into a trunk
    from a million years
    of lying and getting drunk

    the people here inside me
    they are loud and in the night
    they scream and smash the windows
    and they fight

    and nightbirds sing you
    and empty tune
    in an empty house
    in an empty room
    with an empty feelings
    when it comes too soon
    were supposed to rise above
    but we sink
    into the sea
    I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

  • "You have a natural tendency
    To squeeze off a shot
    You're good fun at parties
    You wear the right masks
    You're old but you still
    Like a laugh in the locker room
    You can't abide change
    You're at home an the range
    You opened your suitcase
    Behind the old workings
    To show off the magnum
    You deafened the canyon
    A comfort a friend
    Only upstaged in the end
    By the Uzi machine gun
    Does the recoil remind you
    Remind you of sex
    Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
    Old timer who you gonna kill next
    I looked over Jordan and what did I see
    Saw a U.S. Marine in a pile of debris
    I swam in your pools
    And lay under your palm trees
    I looked in the eyes of the Indian
    Who lay on the Federal Building steps
    And through the range finder over the hill
    I saw the frontline boys popping their pills
    Sick of the mess they find
    On their desert stage
    And the bravery of being out of range
    Yeah the question is vexed
    Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
    Old timer who you gonna kill next
    Hey bartender over here
    Two more shots
    And two more beers
    Sir turn up the TV sound
    The war has started on the ground
    Just love those laser guided bombs
    They're really great
    For righting wrongs
    You hit the target
    And win the game
    From bars 3,000 miles away
    3,000 miles away
    We play the game
    With the bravery of being out of range
    We zap and maim
    With the bravery of being out of range
    We strafe the train
    With the bravery of being out of range
    We gained terrain
    With the bravery of being out of range
    With the bravery of being out of range
    We play the game
    With the bravery of being out of range"
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    When I'm at the pearly gates
    This will be on my videotape, my videotape
    Mephistopheles is just beneath
    and he's reaching up to grab me

    This is one for the good days
    and i have it all here
    In red, blue, green
    Red, blue, green

    You are my center
    When i spin away
    Out of control on videotape
    On videotape
    On videotape
    On videotape

    This is my way of saying goodbye
    Because I can't do it face to face
    I'm talking to you after it's too late
    From my videotape

    No matter what happens now
    You shouldn't be afraid
    Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.
    I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

    [ ELECTRON BLUE]



    you're on your ear, the ocean's near.
    the light has started to fade.
    your high is timed,
    you found the climb

    it's hard to focus on more than what's
    in front of you, electron blue.
    adventure rings with a page.
    and when,

    it dawns on you, it singes blue,
    your buzz beginning to wane.

    adventure has laid its claim on you
    it's all you want to do
    you, you know where to run
    you run electron blue.

    and who am I?
    I'm just a guy.
    I've got a story like everyone

    but in your eyes,
    you looked surprised.
    and didn't know where to run.

    I looked to her
    she's found the cure
    her future's already begun.

    tomorrow is gaining speed on you
    it's all you want to do
    you, you know where to run
    you run electron blue.

    you, you know where to run
    you run electron blue.

    so bide your time
    you'll feel the climb
    your high it builds like a lightning storm

    it sings like pearls
    you know that girl
    and no one is any the wiser so

    as if on cue

    electron blue

    tomorrow is gaining speed on you
    it's all you want to do
    you, you know where to run
    you run electron blue.

    you, you know where to run
    you run electron blue.

    you, you know where to run
    you run electron blue...~

    Well we made a mad dash for the good life
    And we passed when we weren't looking
    And we made a swift retreat to the danger
    That we'd see every evening
    It ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath

    I wanna breathe some new life
    Breathe some new life
    Some new life
    Ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath

    Got my way, tend to sway 'cause my vision now is slanted
    And cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted

    I wanna breathe some new life
    Breathe some new life
    Breathe some new life
    It ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath

    Teach me to die, a butterfly soft and slow, deep in the meadow
    Peace to my soul, I'm good to go, I'm prepared, Lord to travel

    Ain't happened yet, I ain't holding' my breath
    I wanna breathe some new life…
    Please forgive my sins, once again
    I will fall and I will fail
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Been trapped in a really big house
    and I can’t find my way out
    It’s such a mess
    from all my exes and their guests

    Sitting by the fire
    In an open fire place
    with a blistered face
    And I’m tired
    So tired
    of sitting by the fire

    There’s a bike in the hallway
    but the brakes don’t work
    There’s a wait staff in the kitchen
    but water’s all they serve

    Sitting by the fire
    In an open fire place
    with a blistered face
    Sitting by the fire
    In an open fire place
    with a blistered face
    And I’m tired
    so damn tired
    of sitting by the fire

    Honor suckles on a barbwire fence
    Oh the woods we used to play in
    were ghosts in the graveyard
    run run run
    follow me cherie here they come

    Sitting by the fire
    In an open fire place
    with a blistered face
    Sitting by the fire
    In an open fire place
    with a blistered face

    Sitting by the fire
    In an open fire place
    with a blistered face
    Sitting by the fire
    Sitting by the fire
    Sitting by the fire

    I’ve been sitting by the fire a long long time
    sifting through the ashes wasting my time away
    Sitting by the fire
    one more time
    I’ve been sitting by the fire a long long time
    Sifting through the ashes wasting my time
    burning myself

    Ghosts in the graveyard run run run
    follow me sister here they come no no
    I’ve been sitting by the fire a long long time
    sifting through the ashes wasting my time away
    I’ve been sitting by the fire a long long time
    sifting through the ashes wasting my time
    Ghosts in the graveyard run run run
    follow me sister here they come no no

    Sitting by the fire
    burning myself
    burning myself
    sitting in the fire

    Is there a time for keeping your distance
    A time to turn your eyes away
    Is there a time for keeping your head down
    For getting on with your day

    Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
    A time for curling hair
    Is there a time for high street shopping
    To find the right dress to wear

    Here she comes
    Heads turn around
    Here she comes
    To take her crown

    Is there a time to run for cover
    A time for kiss and tell
    Is there a time for different colours
    Different names you find it hard to spell

    Is there a time for first communion
    A time for East Seventeen
    Is there a time to turn to Mecca
    Is there time to be a beauty queen

    Here she comes
    Beauty plays the clown
    Here she comes
    Surreal in her crown

    Dici che il fiume
    Trova la via al mare
    E come il fiume
    Giungerai a me
    Oltre i confini
    E le terre assetate
    Dici che come fiume
    Come fiume...
    L'amore giungerà
    L'amore...
    E non so più pregare
    E nell'amore non so più sperare
    E quell'amore non so più aspettare

    [Translation of the above]
    You say that the river
    finds the way to the sea
    and like the river
    you will come to me
    beyond the borders
    and the dry lands
    You say that like a river
    like a river...
    the love will come
    the love...
    And i don't know how to pray anymore
    and in love i don't know how to hope anymore
    and for that love i don't know how to wait anymore

    [End of Translation]

    Is there a time for tying ribbons
    A time for Christmas trees
    Is there a time for laying tables
    And the night is set to freeze
    roll them high...
    throw them again...

    I seem to recognize your face
    Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
    Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me



    All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place
    But no one's ever taken me
    Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
    Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...



    I swear I recognize your breath
    Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
    Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former
    It's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf



    I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
    Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
    I just want to scream...hello...



    My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
    But now here you are, and here I am
    Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
    Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
    Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...



    Hearts and thoughts they fade...away
    Hearts and thoughts they fade...away
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
  • I took my sister down to the ocean
    But the ocean made me feel stupid
    Those words of wisdom I had prepared
    All seemed to vanish into thin air
    Into the waves I stared

    I picked up a seashell
    To illustrate my homelessness
    But a crab crawled out of it
    Making it useless

    And all my metaphors fell flat
    Down on the rocks where we sat
    She asked where are you at?

    But sister, it's the opposite of hallelujah
    It's the opposite of being you
    You don't know 'cause it just passes right through you
    You don't know what I'm going through

    You don't know what I'm going through
    You don't know what I'm going through
    You don't know what I'm going through

    We made our way home on the bikes we had borrowed
    I still never told you about unstoppable sorrow
    You still think I'm someone to look up to
    I still don't know anything about you
    Is it in you too?

    You've got so much to live for, little sister
    You've got so much to live for

    But sister, it's the opposite of hallelujah
    It's the opposite of being you
    You don't know cause it just passes right through you
    You don't know what I'm going through

    You don't know what I'm going through
    You don't know what I'm going through
    You don't know what I'm going through
    You don't know what I'm going through
    The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
    And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides

    There's colors on the street
    Red, white and blue
    People shufflin' their feet
    People sleepin' in their shoes
    But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
    There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
    Don't feel like Satan but I am to them
    So I try to forget it any way I can



    Keep on rockin' in the free world
    Keep on rockin' in the free world
    Keep on rockin' in the free world
    Keep on rockin' in the free world



    I see a woman in the night
    With a baby in her hand
    Under an old street light
    Near a garbage can
    Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
    She hates her life and what she's done to it
    There's one more kid
    That will never go to school
    Never get to fall in love
    Never get to be cool



    Keep on rockin' in the free world
    Keep on rockin' in the free world
    Keep on rockin' in the free world
    Keep on rockin' in the free world



    We got a thousand points of light
    For the homeless man
    We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand
    We got department stores and toilet paper
    Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
    Got a man of the people says keep hope alive
    Got fuel to burn got roads to drive



    Keep on rockin' in the free world
    Keep on rockin' in the free world
    Keep on rockin' in the free world
    Keep on rockin' in the free world
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I get so tired of missing you
    I get so tired of wanting to
    Compare the things that are easy to do
    Like the reasons you lie to me
    The reasons I lie to you

    And I wish it was some kinda explosive device
    That only you could diffuse
    Reasons you lie to me
    Reasons I lie to you

    Wanna live in a beautiful house
    Somewhere up in the hills
    With some people making fun of us
    You refer to us as your two kids
    Then it wouldn't be somebody else
    That you'd grow accustomed to
    Reasons to lie to me
    Is a reason to lie to you

    I get so tired of missing you
    I get so tired of wanting to
    Compare the things that are easy to do
    Like the reasons you lie to me
    Reasons I lie to you
    I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

  • It was Christmas Eve babe
    In the drunk tank
    An old man said to me, won't see another one
    And then he sang a song
    The Rare Old Mountain tune
    I turned my face away
    And dreamed about you

    Got on a lucky one
    Came in eighteen to one
    I've got a feeling
    This year's for me and you
    So happy Christmas
    I love you baby
    I can see a better time
    When all our dreams come true

    They've got cars big as bars
    They've got rivers of gold
    But the wind goes right through you
    It's no place for the old
    When you first took my hand
    On a cold Christmas Eve
    You promised me
    Broadway was waiting for me

    You were handsome
    You were pretty
    Queen of New York City
    When the band finished playing
    They howled out for more
    Sinatra was swinging,
    All the drunks they were singing
    We kissed on a corner
    Then danced through the night

    The boys of the NYPD choir
    Were singing "Galway Bay"
    And the bells were ringing out
    For Christmas day

    You're a bum
    You're a punk
    You're an old slut on junk
    Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
    You scumbag, you maggot
    You cheap lousy faggot
    Happy Christmas your arse
    I pray God it's our last

    The boys of the NYPD choir
    Still singing "Galway Bay"
    And the bells were ringing out
    For Christmas day

    I could have been someone
    Well so could anyone
    You took my dreams from me
    When I first found you
    I kept them with me babe
    I put them with my own
    Can't make it all alone
    I've built my dreams around you

    The boys of the NYPD choir
    Still singing "Galway Bay"
    And the bells were ringing out
    For Christmas day
    The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
    And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides

    Chloe don't know better
    Chloe just like me, only beautiful
    A couple of years of difference
    But those lessons never learned
    Chloe danced the tables in the french
    quarter
    She always been given so I can't always
    make her laugh
    But I'm proud to say
    And I won't forget
    Time spent laying by her side
    Time spent laying by her side
    And dreams like this must die
    I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

    hatred
    I hate the past

    I can't see anything at all, all I see is me
    that's clear enough
    and that's whats important, to see me

    my eyes can focus
    my brain is talking
    looks pretty good to me
    my head's on straight, my girlfriend's beautiful
    looks pretty good to me

    sometimes I speak
    tonight there's nothing to say
    sometimes we freak
    and laugh all day

    hold these pages up to the light
    see the jacknife inside of the dream
    a railroad runs through the record stores at night
    coming in for the deep freeze

    Mary: a simple word, are you there in the country?
    Yr eyes so full, yr head so tight
    can't you hear me?
    Remember our talk
    that day on the phone?
    I was the door, and you were the station
    with shattered glass and miles between us
    we still flew away in the conversation

    my cup is full, and I feel okay
    the world is dull, but not today

    she think's she's a goddess
    she says she talks to the spirits
    I wonder if she can talk to herself?
    If she can bear to hear it?

    this is Eric's trip
    we've all come to watch him slip
    he's slipping all the way to Texas
    can you dig it?

    (Eric says "The sky is blue...")
    I see with a glass eye
    the pavement view
    a shadow forming, across the fields rushing
    thru me to you

    we tore down the world, and put up four walls
    I breathe in the myth
    I'm over the city, fucking the future
    I'm high and inside yr kiss

    we can't see clear
    but what we see is a alright
    we make up what we can't hear
    and then we sing all night

    scattered pages and shattered lights
    a jacknife and a dream
    there's something moving over there on the right
    like nothing I've never seen
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Swell Season- If You Want Me

    Are you really here or am I dreaming
    I can’t tell dreams from truth
    For it’s been so long since I have seen you
    I can hardly remember your face anymore
    When I get really lonely and the distance calls its only silence
    I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs

    If you want me satisfy me
    If you want me satisfy me

    Are you really sure that you believe me
    When others say I lie
    I wonder if you could ever despise me
    You know I really try
    To be a better one to satisfy you for you’re everything to me
    And I do what you ask me
    If you let me be free

    If you want me satisfy me
    If you want me satisfy me

    If you want me satisfy me
    If you want me satisfy me
    I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

    for heath, oz people and everyone hopelessly in love..


    I will come for you at night time
    I will raise you from your sleep
    I will kiss you in four places
    I'll go running along your street
    I will squeeze the life out of you
    You will make me laugh and make me cry
    We will never forget it
    You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the bluesummer sky
    We may never meet again
    So shed your skin and lets get started
    And you will throw your arms around me

    I dreamed of you at night time
    And I watched you in your sleep
    I met you in high places
    I touched your head and touched your feet
    So if you dissapear out of view
    You know, I will never say goodbye
    Though I try to forget it
    You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the bluesummer sky

    We may never meet again
    So shed your skin and lets get started
    And you will throw your arms around me
    Yeah you will throw you arms around me
  • "Your construction
    Smells of corruption
    I manipulate to recreate
    This air to ground saga
    Gotta launder my karma

    I said hallelujah to the sixteen loyal fans
    You'll get down on your muthafuckin' knees
    And it's time for your sickness again
    Come on and tell me what you need
    Tell me what is making you bleed
    We got two more minutes and
    We gonna cut to what you need
    So one of six so tell me
    One do you want to live
    And one of seven tell me
    Is it time for your muthafuckin' ass to give
    Tell me is it time to get down on your muthafuckin' knees
    Tell me is it time to get down

    Suckin' up, one last breath
    Take a drag off of death

    Hey Mr. Policeman
    Is it time for getting away
    Is it time for driving down the mother fuckin' road
    And running from your ass today

    Now tell me if do you agree
    Or tell me if I'm makin' you bleed
    I got a few more minutes and
    I'm gonna cut to what you need
    So one of six so tell me
    One do you want to live
    And one of seven tell me
    Is it time for your muthafuckin' ass to give
    Tell me is it time to get down on your muthafuckin' knees
    Tell me is it time to get down

    Got a revolution behind my eyes
    We got to get up and organize
    Got a revolution behind my eyes
    We got to get up and organize
    Got a revolution behind my eyes
    We got to get up and organize
    You want a revolution behind your eyes
    We got to get up and organize

    Come on baby tell me
    Yes we aim to please"

    Specters move like pilot flames
    Their widows toast at St. Angel
    Better times collide with now
    The tears were warm, I feel them still
    Their heat to vapor and disperse
    And cloud our eyes with weary glaze

    You raise your glass and may exclaim
    "I'll put my hands on the truth by God"
    But it's faster, love, than you and me
    Faster than the speed of gravity
    That's how it catches you from falling
    And how it always slips away

    Specters move like pilot flames
    Their widows toast at St. Angel
    Better times collide with now
    And better times
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
