Me and Javi
Shouted slogans in Spanish Like it was our world to win Then they moved the plant Down to Ojeda Time to bite your tongue again I've seen the fabled city And its streets are paved with gold But an iron fence runs 'round it And its iron gate is closed What ain't right ain't right He told me But something else passed behind his eyes Now he's downtown on his knees Washing floors for somebody And quietly biding his time I've seen the fabled city And its streets are paved with gold But an iron fence runs round it And its iron gate is closed At the gas station On Sunset and Crescent I met an angel sad and old She lived in the alley Behind the market In the shadows maybe hidden from the Lord And for a dollar She sang a song That sounded more like a prayer A wish that her dead mother and father Couldn't look down and see her there I've seen the fabled city And its streets are paved with gold But an iron fence runs round it And its iron gate is closed On the wire outside my window There sit 100 swallows And I suspect that if one flew The 99 would follow |

Stone climbs together
She cashed in and cut the tether She's gone, it's no mistake The angels have come too late They've come too late In my hands I hold the proof That's something sure to hit you Pure flesh and bone to rip through Don't let 'em tie you to the stake Whatever it takes Flood waters raise the ramparts I'll meet you now, wherever you are I'm here until the front line breaks Whatever it takes Then she turned off her headlights Cranked the radio, ran the red lights Never found the missing bride Windows dark, but they're all inside They're all inside... In my hands, I hold the proof That's something sure to hit you Pure flesh and bone to rip through Don't let 'em tie you to the stake Whatever it takes Flood waters raise the ramparts I'll meet you now, wherever you are I'm here until the front line breaks Whatever it takes A general without an army I stopped looking, then they found me On the hill, a horn is blowin' It's over man, you just don't know it That's something sure to hit you Pure flesh and bone to rip through Don't let 'em tie you to the stake Whatever it takes Flood waters raise the ramparts I'll meet you now, wherever you are I'm here until the front line breaks Whatever it takes Climb backward through the rec room A jungle of thieves to get through Time's up, how long you gonna waste? Whatever it takes. So Jack, grab paper and pen I'll say it once, won't say it again Loosen the core until it shakes Whatever it takes Whatever it takes |

Released from reason.
Alive with pain. The act has changed, the play's the same. As he and his ministers convergered, I peaked out from behind the well. And, oh, how I was suprised to learn the Devil is not the King of Hell The Devil is not the King of Hell. The Devil is not the King of Hell. A violent dance on slippery stones The lines gone dead We're all alone The Devil is not the King of Hell Smelling victory The engine hums Off in the distace they beat the drums Admist the blood and rubble I look for souvenirs to sell And, oh, how I was suprised to learn the Devil is not the King of Hell The Devil is not the King of Hell The Devil is not the King of Hell A violent dance on slippery stones The lines gone dead We're all alone The Devil is not the King of Hell Black was the mark, black was the mark. Black was the mark laid on Kane. Black was the list, black was the list. Black was the list with our names. Black was the mark, black was the mark. Black was the mark laid on Kane. Black was the list, black was the list. Black was the list with our names. The Devil is not the King of Hell The Devil is not the King of Hell A violent dance on slippery stones The line's gone dead We're all alone The Devil is not the King of Hell Tonight I'm gonna do something I've never done before I'm gonna find out what the screamings about on the other side of that door So, don't you bother calling, there ain't nobody home Sometimes we've gotta stand together, sometimes alone. The Devil is not the King of Hell The Devil is not the king of Hell A violent dance on slippery stones The lines gone dead we're all alone The Devil is not the King of Hell The Devil is not the King of Hell The Devil is not the King of Hell A violent dance on slippery stones The line's gone dead The line's gone dead The line's gone dead The line's gone dead The line's gone dead The Devil is not the King of Hell. |

She want him, want him not to go
He said I, I've got to go She whispered I, I love you so He said I, I've got to go [ Chorus ] Night falls on the river valley Night falls on the minds and fields Night falls on the just and unjust Night falls In the next town there's trouble, needs straightening out There's dynamite under the porch Me and my four kids are hungry A man's yelling through the screen door [ Chorus ] All they can in the morning Shoulder to shoulder, end to end You don't have to speak You just have to stand Steve, Sud and dad there on the bridge Local three ninety three was born A black and white picture of the colon of the lord The dam was broken, the river comes [ Chorus ] She want him, want him not go He said I, I've got to go She whispered I, I love you so Night falls Night falls |

Stand back storm troopers attack
On a bright may-day man I must be gettin' soft I dunno, what do you think mister? Looks like ten fat pigs in a nine pig trough Die Diediedie, Diediedie, diediedie, (Hey, Hey!) Die diediedie, And the lights are on in Spidertown Sittin' back of the class Iron chains, lead weights, taught rope, holdin' down my will. I dunno, what do you think mister? I say we do anything just to take that hill. Hey! Die Diediedie, Diediedie, diediedie, (Hey, Hey!) Die diediedie, And the lights are on in Spidertown The sky is falling, falling down. The sky is falling down. The world stoped turning, turning round. The world stops turning round, And the lights are on in Spidertown Silent Night and the wind crashes right, Put a wig on the heiress Rob the bank and pray. No I dunno, what do you think mister? Don't do as I do, just do as I say! Die Diediedie, Diediedie, diediedie, (Hey, Hey!) Die diediedie, And the lights are on in Spidertown Yeah the lights are on is Spidertown Hey! |

There's an old green shed
at the end of an overgrown driveway And years ago that shed collapsed and fell Years before that there was a withered dog chained up there I saved him, maybe he saved me as well Now he's gone and I think I've come undone And it's midnight in the city of destruction There's music in the air and sweet abandon They're singin' cross the farm in the evening breeze But there's someone in the rows who's unwanted And now they've cut the faithful from the trees And the bulldozers move in one by one It's midnight in the city of destruction I lost my guitar, my home, my hope and my good fortune I lost my grandfather, two neighbors and my friend I pray that God himself will come and drown the president If the levees break again Now we're standin' at the crossroads waitin' for instruction And it’s midnight in the city of destruction There's a secret prison somewhere south of 60 And in that secret prison there's a secret cell And the prisoner's bound and burned, blinded and beaten Still that secret prisoner keeps his secret well Turn out the lights 'cause for one night that's enough, son It's midnight in the city of destruction |

Innocence and suffering
Loneliness and grace Pain and love and beauty Laughter death and faith Where the rising fortune Meets the setting sun I'm afraid my friend when one is left It's just the same as none I will always stand beside you Defend you and mend you and sanctify you I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you And follow you down love I'm right behind you God make her road straight God make her road true Saint Isabelle is coming through The textbook's on the table The radio's on the shelf And thank you for the offer But I'll sing this one myself In reverential silence The crowd sat in the pews I climbed and climbed for hours But oh my what a view I will always stand beside you Defend you and mend you and sanctify you I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you And follow you down love I'm right behind you God make her road straight God make her road true Saint Isabelle is coming through I'm surprised you didn't come forward When the cops dragged me away There's a museum in the Netherlands I hope to see again someday There's a painting of a woman Gathering wood it’s almost dark In a world bereft of meaning There's a flicker in the hearth I will always stand beside you Defend you and mend you, sanctify you I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you And follow you down love I'm right behind you And follow you down love I'm right behind you And follow you down love I'm right behind you God make her road straight God make her road true Saint Isabelle is coming through God make her road straight God make her road true Saint Isabelle is coming through |

I've been tearing
And I've been torn The temple steps Are smooth and warm What Juda's been doing There ain't no knowing On the olive vines Something different is growing Lazarus on down Lazarus on down C'mon, let's push on through No, let's go around Lazarus on down One eyed crow Tapping on a windowpane Little boy raised a cup In cyaphast's name In the potter's field Blood beneath the tree That money's gone son What's left, you owe me Lazarus on down Lazarus on down C'mon, let's push on through No, man, let's turn around Lazarus on down Sound of thunder Smell of a burnin' oil What's that movin' beneath the soil The street lights out Dark shape on the ground Lazarus on down Lazarus on down Lazarus on down Is that hope In the shepherd's eyes? Or just another Little dark surprise? I'm just like you, dad Thin and cold If you didn't know it Well, now you know |

With downcast eyes the multitudes set
as the cattle cars pulled along the rusty tracks one raised his hand in the fading light said excuse me sir this doesn't seem right and now he's gone like whispers gone like rain gone like the faithful while the faithless remain gone like the stone the builder refused gone and overdue There's a river in Texas with a strong undertow no one crosses it to freedom, no one pans for gold its waters are clear but its waters are cold its current is swift and no one knows where it goes it's just gone like whispers gone like rain gone like the faithful while the faithless remain gone like the stone the builder refused gone and overdue gone and overdue [harmonica solo] When a cool desert don't appear on no map coyote's scream rips the night in half he hears the devil coming footsteps on the path so he chews off his own leg to get out of the trap and he's gone like whispers gone like rain gone like the faithful while the faithless remain gone like the stone the builder refused gone and overdue gone and overdue |

Sometimes they'll tell you to just sit still
When you know that it's time to run Sometimes they'll tell you it's all over When you're sure that it's just begun [ Chorus ] The iron wheel slowly spins around It takes you from the cradle till you're 6 feet underground You push and pull against it But you ride it till it's through And those who spin the wheel Will those fuckers ride it too? Sometimes they'll tell you to move along When you're sure you should stand and fight Sometimes they'll tell you that you're a lucky a man But the numbers they don't add up right [ Chorus ] The good wife rides the wheel As they use you slip away T.V. preacher rides the wheel As he leads the flock astray Lady justice rides the wheel But her balance is unsure Cause the truth that lies in pieces Scattered on the news room floor Sometimes they'll tell you to just let go When you're sure you should hold on tight Sometimes they'll tell you your time will never come When you're sure that your time's come tonight [ Chorus ] |

I counted to one hundred, I kept losing track
I wrote a hundred letters, no one wrote back I told a hundred stories, and all of them got twisted I sang a hundreds songs, nobody listened. You've got to rise to power Rise to power Baby, you've got to rise to power. You've got to rise to power Rise to power Ain't a shade of difference 'tween the hills and the cowards Baby, you've got to rise to power. Forced confessions and coming attractions Delusions of grandeur split into factions A silent, dark Camelot, a kingdom gray and black A dull empty heaven A strong leader's hand. You've got to rise to power Rise to power Baby, you've got to rise to power. You've got to rise to power Rise to power You're down on your knees, pulling up the flowers Baby, you've got to rise to power. No holy water can wash me clean No angel of mercy to hear my screams Into your embrace, I'm ever driven And in your arms, unforgiven. You've got to rise to power Rise to power Baby, you've got to rise power You've got to rise to power Rise to power The whole world's watching, there's a gunman in the tower Baby, you've got to rise to power. |
