Hard to bring out some things with a deadend mind
Oh, don't you know there is no credential
Oh, not at all essential
Hard to bring out small things with a deadend mind
Oh, you didn't feel the sea or invent the moon
How did it all occur so soon

So I finally fall behind
With a deadend mind
I wasted all this time
With a deadend mind
A deadend mind
A deadend mind

Hard to come up with some things with a deadend mind
Oh, don't you know it is no credential
Oh, not at all essential
These small things
Like your sealed body and your sealed face
Oh, not at all essential
Oh, not at all essential, so

So I finally fall behind
Fall behind with a deadend mind
Oh, I wasted all this time
With a deadend mind
A deadend mind
A deadend mind

Deadend mind

Blue
Strange colour blue
Sixteen tons on the moon
Blue
Strange colour blue
Coming back to you
Pushing through
Pouring rain
Nearly there
Nearly there
Oh, blue
Blue
Strange colour blue
Sixteen tons on the moon
Hey little mister driver man
Keep your head up
We are nearly there
I am racing
Outside and below myself
Nearly forgot myself there
Nearly there, yeah
Oh, everybody's sleeping now
An industrial silence singing
And the rain will keep hammering down from overhead
Now there's a blue, blue, strange colour blue
Let me dream of me and you
Oh, how the rain keeps coming down
Pour, oh, running down the window
Like a vein on my arm
Oh, running down the window
Like a vein on my arm, yeah
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
Nearly there
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
Nearly there
Oh, blue
Strange colour, a colour blue
Yeah, a colour blue
Oh, blue blue blue yeah
Strange colour, a colour blue
Yeah, a colour blue
Oh, blue blue blue, yeah
Strange colour, a colour blue
Oh, a colour blue
Hey little mister driver man
Keep your head up
We are nearly there
Nearly there

Tonight I have no words for you
Made a promise to say so much
Oh I can only steal from you
What already belongs to us
I would like to sing a firestorm
And not some rich and soothing well
Well all such lines are forbidden now
And it's you I cannot touch
Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not go to sleep
I would like to come unmasked for you
I wanna come without a lie
It was this voice and pen I used
To make myself a man
Now if you could try and reach inside
And tear apart this sad cocoon
Oh I will again be that moon for you
And we too will be like sand
Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know the government's coming along
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains
Well alright
Now I ain't being cold
You know it's only that just now
Seems obvious the hands that fell
Are the hands that will soon knock down
Well tonight I see the skyline
As the skyline lights a mountain range
Tomorrow night it just might have changed
The other way around
Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know the government's coming along
You kno

VOCAL
You better run, you better run
You better not wait too long
You better run, you better run
You better run for you have a heart
So let's start, so let's start
So let's start, tear it all apart
You better run, you better run
You better run for you have a heart
Well, oh, well, oh, you know it's only so much I can take
I buried my head in that pillow for a million days
So, oh, oh well, I'm sorry but I do not care to wait
Dare not walk through the light
Dare not walk through the light
Your vision's travelled far today
So why don't you run away
Your vision's travelled far today
Like in the times when you say
I have a cry, I have a cry, and I will not be contained
I have a cry, I have a cry, and I will not be contained, no
Oh well, oh you know it is only so much I can take
Buried my head in that pillow a million days oh, oh
Oh well, I'm sorry but I do not care to wait
Oh, dare not walk through the light
Dare not walk through the light, oh
Oh, dare not walk through the light
Dare not walk through the light

Let me tell you about the way the hammer moves
The hammer goes up and down
And hits the nail, on the head each time
That's the point
All right in 1998
It's getting hard to go to sleep at night
And hard to get up in the morning
I tell myself, I'm going too hard, too rash, too long, too long
But this is not the truth
There's no sign of no big break down
It's just these little things that keep putting me of the track
Yeah, I have a notion of moving around in circles
Things just keep getting worse and worse
'Til they get all the way around
And then eveything turns out alright
In one single flash I see both shows
Computer, cigarettes, photograph, pens and pencils
Pop-craving critics curving
A doctor tried to cure me of these shells
I stopped seeing him
I heard nothing more about being mentally ill
In one single flash comes words, no poetry
Did you put on weight
I take two, not one
A man with one arm
Best beer ever to come out of Belgium
If you kept drinking like this it wouldn't have to be
It's not like I'm real hateful with our friends, our beloved friends
VCR, last goodbyes, this is not the time for all I love you's
This nail is bent and broken, straighten it out with the hands of love
This is where the hammer hits, this is its golden tongue
There speaks no more, this is the same that were never moved
This is the tsar at will, this is where the hammer hit, this is when the turnpike
This nail is bent and broken, straighten it out with the hands of love
With the hands of love, with the hands of love
With the hands of love yeah, with the hands of love yeah
With the hands of love yeah, with the hands of love
With the hands of love, with the hands of love yeah-ac

There's no use to complain
Or start it off again
There's no sign of weakness in me
Do I compel you like you compel me?
And nothing stays the same
And no one said it would
I would not think of such things if I could...
If I could help myself,
If I could
So put your warm little hands where I can see them
Put those hands on my face
Tell me you love me
And no one else
Or close those little hands
Now they're fists
Now they're little fists
Punch a hole in me with those fists
If you ever wanted to punch a hole in me
And find out what's in me
There's really nothing in me
And nothing stays the same
And nothing ever happens to you that will happen to you again
Or is this the way it was?
Was it this same room, this same fight, this same scene?
With us dancing on the kitchen floor
And the wind climbing in through the open window
I used to hear distant cracks out in the city night
I could swear some one was being shot down
Now we hear that all the time...
So do you like where we're headed?
Does it make sense in your eyes?
Do you miss me, baby, when I fall asleep?
Do you reach out for my arm?
Do you find it's too far away?
Do you?
Now tell me I'm handsome
I will tell you we are really not old at all
There's no use to complain
Still you and no one else
So put your warm little hands where I can see them
Put those hands on my face
Now if you get any out of this
Then that's the thing that makes me sleep all day
And I'll explain my love for you
On another day

Did I talk in my sleep, no
Hey, did I wake to find you cry, by my side
We never said that it would be easy
Just that the way love grows, we have to go to.
Oh well, hunny you, tonight
I'm here, tonight
Oh no, fall like a star
Oh in time, you and I, we'll shine
Oh now, hold your hand on running water
and now, wipe the black out of the blonde
Well now your head falls down on me
And your beauty is as pure as tears.
Oh well, hunny you, tonight
I'm here, tonight
Oh no, fall like a star
Oh in time, you and I, we'll shine.
Oh, hunny you, tonight
I'm here, tonight
I'm here, tonight
Oh no, fall like a star
Oh in time, you and I, we'll shine

So am I
Good or bad
The way that things did turn out
I did only make you sad
And we cried and we cried
On the phone
Oh, but in my mind
You were never that all alone
Oh, you were majesty
Your roads were heavy
And your longing was cut from bone
So am I
Am I good or bad
Could only awake your anger
I could only make you mad
Now was that how you showed me
That you were still so young and bold
Anyway those fights did drive me
And I was dying of thirst and I wasn't growing old
Oh, you were majesty
Your ropes were heavy
And your roads were very cold
Oh, oh, oh, majesty
But in my mind
I could still climb inside your bed
And I could be victorious
Still the only man to pass through the glorious arch of your head, o-oh
Oh, you were majesty
Your ropes were heavy
And your cheeks were very red
Oh, you were majesty
Now it's like I said
That spirit, it's now dead
Oh, oh, oh, majesty

ain't got no destination
bit sharp on apprehension
real hot and coming up soon
new better news presentation
face down in raw red meat
skinny girl watching the ugly
thank god for the little girls
give us the blond with the curls
yeah
what you've got is what gets me every time
the way you piss on everything real
show me one that you think is so virtous and clean
and I'll show you what I mean
no boots and no direction (no hars)
no hars and no depression (if you're fealing bored turne it off)
no boring and conversation (a kiss)
no need for no constellation
no need to be aroused
no lipstick, leather and chrome
press button and insert coin
quit now this annotation
slip both then constellation
constellation
what you've got is what gets me every time
the way you piss on everything real
oh show me one that you think is so vertous and clear
then I'll show you show you what I mean

Pack your bag,run away
Along a freeway, out of town
Where you'd like and the night is over
It's alright
From despair, between the sheets
Spilling over, spinning round
Waiting still, in the street
Ain't it bitter, ain't it sweet, oh ho
Holding, holding on to you again
Holding, holding on to you again
No rushing, don't rush it, my love
Holding on, holding, holding on to you
Bet you lie, on your back
In the backseat of his car
Cattle black, pepper night
Dylan Thomas, pass around
Passing out on the floor
In the bathroom, black light vail
We don't need once again
Sing the song, sing
Drink the wine, love
Oh, well how long did we stay in there
Well I can't believe my eyes
Well how long did I take this
Well I can't hold on no, hold on
Holding, holding on to you again
Holding, holding on to you again
I'm ready, I'm ready, my love
Holding, holding on to you

We're slow raised by the break of day
You are now entirely mine again
Still I hold you in my arms
There is not much to talk about anyway
Quite emotional now
Drive by noise and straight to the bone, for you
Quite emotional now, not making sense
So I come here in your arms
You keep on whispering that you won't stop
I take it back, babe
Everything that I have said
And I hold you in my arms
There's no better place for you anyway
Quite emotional now
Drifting miles apart, of reasons away
Quite emotional now, not making sense
Quite emotional now, not making sense
Quite emotional now, not making sense
So I came in your arms, your hair
Quite emotional now
Bridge:
I don't believe you now

Moon,
How it falls on the field down among us.
Rain,
falls on the king, and his men on the riverbed.
Now,
Now we meet after all these years.
Do you my king, do you remember me?
Yeah, I see your face before me now.
And I'm telling you tonight, that I know we belong,
Beyond this life.
The war has taken its turn, and it ain't ever turning back.
I grew to be a man
A man who grew to be a king.
Got a job at the mill,
And when the war came
I signed up for you.
Every day now,
I send a letter to the people back home.
Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived.
Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this war.
And I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong,
And we must die.
Well, now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed.
Drums roll,
And we must go.
We must go, the enemy is upon us.
Rise from your knee,
And now, pull to the bridge.
Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now.
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed.
For I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong,
And we must die.
It doesn't matter much now anyway,
Tonight we unite.
And when we're pushing through,
I turn around one last time,
And through the fire and the rain
I see the king's white flag.
The king lives on,
But everyone
Everybody dies.

Oh, leaving another song behind
A steam is rising and we are rolling on
Oh, and there's a bottle of wine
Let's drink a toast to the new world arising
Oh, while the hands on the ??? keep turning
Keep turning, we are never going home
The weight of time inside the oceanliner made the ship go down
The weight of time inside the oceanliner, we go down
Yeah, and it's about time you and I we,
Oh it's old times you see her sinking
Oh it's coming out loud and our hands keep on turning
Keep turning 'round
Oh forest pine, a bitter taste of defeat
Of blood and iron, must away from this heat
Oh and now a cannibal flying, no mercy, for us down here
Oh for the past and the present
Once and for all, we wage war
On the 20th century rising
The weight of time inside the oceanliner made the ship go down
We're parting, ahhh, by the oceanliner, we go down
And it's about time you and I we
Oh it's old times you see her sinking
Oh it's coming out loud
Them hands just keep on turning
Yeah, oh, keep turning 'round
Oh dangling on an old general's chest, there's an old silver head
Oh the spirit of a generation sent to rest with the nations best
Uhh all asleep, and grab a hammer and sickle, my brother
Oh and leave it for the captain to ponder over
Why his ship, sank beneath the waves

Closer, move in closer
Closer now than
Than ever before
I doubt it that you can survive
So far from your trenches and your friends
This is where competition starts and
And all that ends
I sense a lot of tension
Loose, loose
Pull out your arsenal
Dance
Step into this room and dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Come on, lady, dance for me
Come on, come on, dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
By now we should know the music and the steps
Oh, me, I never asked, I never set you up
A little something for me?
A little something thrown back at me?
This is the floor, these are the rules
These are the moves
This is the room in which we dance
Close the door, say you will dance
Step into this room and dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Come on, lady, dance for me
Come on, come on, dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Come on, come on, dance for me
Come on, come on, dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Come on, lady, dance for me
Come on, come on, dance
Step into this room and dance for me
Come on, come on, dance
Step into this room and dance for me

Oooooh! Shaaaah!
Oooooh! Shaaaah!
Oooooh! Two black bones
Two black bones
And a home in the woods
Two black bones
Two black bones
Two black bones
And a home in the woods
One more time
Two black bones
Two black bones
Two black bones
And a home in the woods, uuuuh
Oooooh!

Oooooh! Shaaaah!
Shaaaah! Oooooh!
Oooooh! Shaaaah!

One more shot
One more shot
One more shot
And I'll be gone
Two black bones
Two black bones
Two black bones
And a home out in the woods
Yeah
Oh yeah
I had a dog
I had a dog
I had a dog
Now he is gone
We put in the ground
Oh
Blankets wrapped around his angry sleep
Leaving cancer there to burn and
Ache in a barren land, ah
Oooooh! Shaaaah!
Oooooh! Shaaaah!
The dog in his grave
Oh, come on!
Oh, whoooh!
Stop!
Whooh!
Oh yeah

I had a dog
I had a dog
I had a dog
Now he is gone
Gone, gone, gone!

Oh, it makes me wanna sing
Makes me wanna sing

No life, no life without a fall
Now the wind has swept us all
Down to this mission wall
And the love, the love we pray to keep
Has buried us so deep
And me singing this same sad song
How I fell into her arms
Her warm and loving arms
She said: You can never be free
You can never be like me
Now I'm a mad dog and I'll be
Now you honey on my tree
Whether sweet tomorrow
In the mellow wallow
Oh there's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow, yeah
We will never have it all
Tonight I'm screaming at the wall
Peel the paint of my window rail
Touch, material has no choice
Peel the paint off with my voice
Curse this city's deplex song
Now I'm sleeping on the floor
Honey I'm soaking wet and
Oh they're coming out, they're coming out, they're coming for me
As long as we are free
We'll be doomed to live and die
Under the great suburban sky
And I'll always holler
In the mellow wallow
Oh there's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow
Jesus
Heaven, heaven head of hell
You are treating me quite well
Washed me up upon a shore
Now I'm scratching down your door
All the words become my hands
Cold and broken on the floor
Peeling gooseflesh off your back
Pulling back your long black hair
Now this beauty is my queen
Skinny arms so very slow
A perfume neck and a blanket so small
Oh, what beauty, oh what bridge
I will sleep tomorrow
And in the mellow wallow
Oh, there's still time to borrow
And in the mellow wallow
Oh, and I fall to be controlled
Lost and swept away
I will always wait it out
Won't you listen now
Let me sleep tomorrow inn
We'll never have it all-acap

Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Gonna need a hammer and nails
To construct this bitter love song
This cruel testamented song
That rings out only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Oh

Rude are the tongues of love
That speak of mercy for us all
And leave us only with a song
And leave us only with a song
Now it's a cold and hollow whisper
That consoles my body when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Oh

And its only when you're gone
And away
Your ghost runs through me in that special way
It's a nice old town
My hometown
Come for the darkness in this prison cell
I love you long and I love you well

So bury me in the kitchen
Bury me in the stones
Oh, bury me everywhere you go
In the shadows of the hallway
Oh, for we do no longer know
What we can no longer hold
On days like these our heads fill up with smoke
And our memories grow old
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone

Only when you're gone
Only, only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone

Gone away
And gone away
Oh

Informal surprise
Inforvivious
A dusty green disease
Distract and shuffling our feet
Try got to fit in where we need
Start falling in love with these things
Don't wanna know you, already know you
Already know your needs

Listen, we are go for the old ride
Listen, we are go for the old ride
Listen, yeah

No, I never get tired
Of killing time
I want a good ride
I'm go for the old ride
Come on!

Try to make it real, try something I can feel
I try to make it real, try something I can feel
Don't wanna know you, already know you
Already know your needs

Listen, we are go for the old ride
Listen, we are go for the old ride

No, I never get tired
Of killing time
I want a good ride
I want a good ride, yeah
Come on!

Oh, listen, we are go for the old ride
Listen, we are go for the old ride
Oh, listen, yeah

No, I never get tired
Of killing time

Come on!

A dusty green disease
Distract and shuffling our feet

Listen, we are go for the old ride
Oh, listen, we are go for the old ride
Oh, listen
Oh, Listen
Yeah

Let's walk on by, this time, this time
Let's keep it right, just like it used to be
It's such a long and wasted ride
When you're on your own, when you're all alone
I throw a word in for the real men
Hey driver man, hey cardboard man
On a cardboard scene you know it's never make-believe
Now, do you believe in me?
And freedom's only what they strip away from you
You fight back
But what you gain is nothing like it
(Chorus)
Let's walk on by
It's a mellow song and I mean it well
So don't you trample me down!
Cause it took a lot of nerve
For me to try and come across
Let's do it, let's do it right
I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail
Let's do it, let's do it right
Right now, right now
And don't you ever walk away from me
I'm gonna need you round for the rebound
I search myself for sheets of paper
Some little stain, some little stain
And this is all conclusive evidence
Everybody rise, I rest my case
(Chorus)
Right now, right now
I find it hard being strong these days
I find it very hard, hard
And even harder in the night-time
When all these clouds come down
I find I'm very, very, hard to define
I could not be electric animal's, front-man
All distorted, all noise
And this is never, ever, my familiar voice
(Chorus
