Brand new angel, did you just fall down from the sky
Come to your sweet daddy, wipe the tears from your eyes This must be your lucky day, I hope you like surprises Save my weary soul, take me from this hole Lead me to the light or just take me through the night Brand new angel, never turn your back on me Look deep into my eyes and tell me what you see People say you should stay away but I disagree Save my weary soul, take me from this hole Lead me to the light or just take me through the night Brand new angel, don't be so easy to deceive Things are different down here You gotta let your body breathe Save my weary soul, take me from this hole Lead me to the light or just take me through the night |

If I live till I die, will I be justly rewarded
If I sleep till I wake, will I remember the dream If I lie to myself, will I have something to believe in If I face my fears, will I know what they mean Long for brighter days far behind me Before my life was just a haze When love was still inside me If I find myself, tell me will I lose me to others If I hang my head, will I feel the spirit of my mother If I bury my face, will I uncover the truth If I slow my pace, will the past gain on me Long for brighter days far behind me Before my life was just a haze When love was still inside me Long for brighter days far behind me Before my life was just a haze When love was still inside me |

As I stand here searching for the right words
I know that wisdom comes from despair And I realize it's harder to find your own voice Than to follow one already in the air And as our time draws nearer I wonder just when we stopped being young And I know my greatest deeds will go unnoticed And our treasures were here all along Child of the earth hear my confession Please don't tell me that it's overdue And from the four corners of the universe I will make my way to you A gentle touch known only to each other And a breath that comforts like the rain And a taste no other shall ever know That upon my tongue shall remain Child of the earth heal me with your whisper Hold me close to your breast Dress my wounds with your innocence I am weary let me rest Let your rain wash over me You know all I ever hoped to be Is half of what you are to me So take me from this island Lead me to the mountains of the moon As long as you lead I will follow And the end of time will be too soon Child of the earth hear my confession Please don't tell me that it's overdue And from the four corners of the universe I will make my way to you Child of the earth heal me with your whisper Come and hold me close to your breast Dress my wounds with your innocence I am weary let me rest I am weary I am weary I will make my way to you I will make my way to you I will make my way to you |

A primadonna with a premonition feels like he's preachin' to the choir
A superstar filled with superstition can't pull himself out of the mire All you ever dreamed of is finally in your reach but careful what you wish for If you don't practice what you preach The circus came to town, I guess it must have stayed It's like an endless parade All these people you can see through like ghosts, maybe you've seen too much Nothing's real, nothing you can feel, no one you can touch Strangers stare in silence, they think they know your mind No place to jump off, that's the way the game's designed Another new day dawns, another sunset fades It's like an endless parade Music, music and more music imploding inside your brain The life that you have chosen did it finally drive you insane Psychophantic tirades fill your head with ammunition Sights set on your enemies but you keep losing your position Reluctantly you face the day try to get your gameface on What used to be a fantasy has now become a marathon Every heart you ever broke, all the people you've betrayed Another new day dawns Another sunset fades Yeh, the circus came to town, I guess it must have stayed It's like an endless parade |

We're at a place in history where the bar is at an all time low
We've applauded mediocrity till there is no lower we can go Art has no place in this world of supersize Follow the leader to the latest pile of shit Like flies And those who peddle it sold their own souls long ago They would not know the difference between Vin Diesel and Van Gogh They stare at me with envy with their big green bugging eyes Spreading filth, buzzing all around my head Like flies Like flies Feast or famine, peace or war - life will get you in the end Sex, drugs, powerlines and vaccinations - something's going to do you in There ain't no way of stopping death when it's time for your demise All my heroes and friends are dropping Like flies Like flies |

Born on the edge of a lonely town-searching for something no one had
Smart enough to say good-bye to this lonely town But not smart enough to never look back Night falls early on these lonely streets-and time rolls by like a midnight train Innocence in abundance on these lonely streets-but I feel guilty just the same Now the words that I have written are ringing in my head Oh,and I think I believe them A million miles from yesterday and a million more to go Still I search each day Trying to find my way home Dreams die young in a lonely heart-and the past seems to follow close behind There's an age old remedy for a lonely heart But there's no peace in this soul of mine Now the words that I have written are ringing in my head Oh,and I think I believe them A million miles from yesterday and a million more to go Still I search each day Trying to find my way home Still trying to find my way home |

We all tried to warn you-but you already knew
So you blame it on jealousy-you say the rumors are untrue But you feel yourself slipping away You awoke from a dream-things were different than now You were gonna be a superstar-Elvis was teaching you how You met a man in a suit-he said "Sign on the line But you'll need a little something to help you unwind" You got to ride like Hell-your face into the wind One day you're everything-then you're nothing again We all know that the journey means more than where you wind up But they don't know what it's like to drink from your cup Still they got something to say You met a girl on the highway-she made you feel like a man But somewhere along the way-your poor heart just caved in So you smoke a little that and you drink a little this And soon you can't separate the misery from the bliss (CHORUS) Anyone can be blinded-caught up in the lust But we all must go back-back to our own dust Back to yesterday One cold night in the sixties-in a small town serene A young boy sits and stares at a black and white screen He's caught up in the rhythm,the words,and the sound And it feels just like a ticket out of this town (CHORUS x2) |

So weak so strong, nothing's forever in her universe
Bringing comfort, bringing pain, so weak so strong So weak so strong, turning mountains into seas of dust Finding courage when all hope is lost, so weak so strong Men have died from half the pain she endures everyday Many times I've seen her spirit fade away only to rise again So weak so strong, there's only one of her in the universe Bringing darkness, bringing light, so weak so strong Men have died from half the pain she endures everyday Many times I've seen her spirit fade away only to rise again So weak so strong, she's never really what she seems to be But life without her seems so bleak, so weak so strong |

Where is your freedom
Is it buried in the Earth? Tell me, is it growing? Or is it losing its worth? And where were all your people when they burned your building down? Too busy fighting their own war in their own town Unring the bell, it's time, it's time Take back what we had, it's yours and mine Shadows of evil cast like giants on the wall Do you even know how many people you appall? And where are all those people on whose backs you climbed? Too busy saving their own skin and their own kind Unring the bell, it's time, it's time Take back what we had, it's yours and mine New Jim Crow, different shades of brown Blood spills red on ancient hallowed ground Flying machines send missiles to the moon While Babylon is burning in the pale afternoon Unring the bell, it's time, it's time Take back what we had, it's yours and mine Fake liberty is just another form of hate Unring the bell before it's too late |

Hesitation is a hole in the head
And contradiction buys you time A battle worth winning is a battle worth losing Sometimes revolution is kind We can stop and pray for rain Or we can march and beat the drum But the storm's about to rage He who speaks loudly will surely be heard But a whisper cannot be ignored Heaven and hell are one and the same Whendesperation's all you can afford Knowing all along The truth will overcome And the storm's about to rage About to rage Anger and tears Will wash away our fears Some pages in history will surely be burned Revisions are not always wrong Time to discover what's really, really, really right Instead of what makes us feel strong Blood is on your hands But it's what the part demands The storm's about to rage About to rage Storm's about to rage About to rage Hesitation is a hole in the head |

So you thought you could handle it - yeah didn't they all
So look at the shape that you're in But fools never compromise - they go out in flames So out with the old, in with the new What in the world has happened to you What goes on in that little toy brain Who'll sweep out the wreckage, who'll sing the refrain And after the smoke clears - is there anything left Did you wash it all away So you cried like a baby asking for more - still you don't know where you've been Ain't it high time you woke up, took a good look around You're killing yourself - damaging your soul - all in the name of sweet rock and roll What goes on in that little toy brain Who'll sweep out the wreckage, who'll sing the refrain And after the smoke clears - is there anything left Did you wash it all away "Hold me, I'm lonely," you say to yourself The only one who will listen now So what does it mean when you finally explain you were never good at apologies I've got some pride left, but it's plain to see It's been earmarked for emergency So what ever happened to your blind faith - did it crumble away Like me, like me What goes on in that little toy brain Who'll sweep out the wreckage, who'll sing the refrain And after the smoke clears - is there anything left Did you wash it all away Did you wash it all away Did you wash it all away Tell me what goes on in that little toy brain |

In the whiskey hours
I sit mourning But the morning brings no consolation Sun is rising - sky is yawning But the new day brings no celebration No celebration Reminds me life is hard Here in my back yard And I lie awake And I stare at the sky And my life passes by And I lie here suffering, wondering How long, how long In a sea of silence I lay wondering But with it comes no real solution Dreams die young In this world of violence Just to be betrayed by revolution-revolution Still my life is hard here in my back yard And I lie awake And I stare at the sky And my life passes by And I lie here suffering, wondering How long, how long We are only the beginning here None of us will reach the end So hold me close like an angel With your breath draw me in Feel me swim through your bloodstream Hear my voice - soft but clear After today things will never be the same I'm sorry for you, my dear In a world of darkness We are surrounded - surrounded by eternity We reach out but no love abounds us Guess we traded it for sanity Meanwhile life is hard here in my back yard And I lie awake And I stare at the sky And my life passes by And I lie here suffering, wondering How long, how long In the whiskkey hours I sit mourning But the morning brings no consolation Sun is rising - sky is yawning But the new day brings no celebration |

Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels to come
Where she used to feel the weight of a thousand lifetimes Now she just feels numb But there was a time when her beauty raised the eyebrows of the town Any man would gladly give up all he had just to take Desiree down She stares out the window at the world passing by She is caught beneath the wheel Too heavy to lift - she feels too weak to try People stare like strangers where once she might've asked them in To fill the void where her heart once was Now she just fills her glass again And again And she walks the floor less traveled Thinks of a sad melody Wine and blood don't mix like they used to Now they just make a memory Too many years trying to do the right thing for the wrong man Now the picture is clear She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past 'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears All these half-truths and alibis help build a wall of denial She takes comfort in the night - darkness blocks the light From falling on her aging smile Grey befalls her halo where there once was a golden mane And her eyes don't shine like they used to Without the moon, the sun would be in vain So she walks the floor less traveled Thinks of a sad melody Wine and blood dont mix like they used to Now they just make a memory Too many years trying to the right thing for the wrong man Now the picture is clear She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past 'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears She puts on h er make-up - though no one's seen her for days Her silence is a lonely cry She's trapped inside a maze Her tears have turned to honey, drawing the black flies of depression Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels again |

Mysterious - blown in with the night
All this beauty captured in a frame Visibly shaken but never stirred - drives them insane I see the way she plays her men - and I know I've got to know her name She's so beautifully broken - shaped by the wind Dangerously twisted - Here I go again I see the way she casts her spell - It's like drowning in moonlight Discards them when she's done - they're lost in her twilight I watch her move from star to star and I wonder why, why it feels so right She's so beautifully broken - you can hardly see the flaw Especially from a distance - which is always how I fall Why do I fall for the dangerous ones - the ones that never learned to let go And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her When she's already been so beautifully broken Why do I fall for the dangerous ones - the ones that Don't know how to let go And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her When she's already been so beautifully broken She's so beautifully broken - shaped by the wind Dangerously twisted - Here I go again Here I go again ************************************************************* Warren Haynes Danny Lewis |

All this beauty captured in a frame Visibly shaken but never stirred - drives them insane I see the way she plays her men - and I know I've got to know her name She's so beautifully broken - shaped by the wind Dangerously twisted - Here I go again I see the way she casts her spell - It's like drowning in moonlight Discards them when she's done - they're lost in her twilight I watch her move from star to star and I wonder why, why it feels so right She's so beautifully broken - you can hardly see the flaw Especially from a distance - which is always how I fall Why do I fall for the dangerous ones - the ones that never learned to let go And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her When she's already been so beautifully broken Why do I fall for the dangerous ones - the ones that Don't know how to let go And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her When she's already been so beautifully broken She's so beautifully broken - shaped by the wind Dangerously twisted - Here I go again Here I go again ************************************************************* Warren Haynes Danny Lewis |

Do you know me I'm the drivin' rain
And my mama was a hurricane Dear old daddy before he stormed out high on window pane Said you're my one and only boy child Call you the drivin' rain Drivin' rain, drivin' rain Talkin' 'bout the drivin' rain Pretty women say it drives them insane But they all want to know me I'm the drivin' rain It all started back in '69 I hit the ground running Couldn't wait to hear those gears grind Like my daddy I'm stone cold out of my mind I've driven 'round this world one, two, three, four,five hundred times Drivin' rain, drivin' rain Talkin' 'bout the drivin' rain Pretty women say it drives them insane But they all want to know me I'm the drivin' rain Do you remember first time you heard the thunder call Wind was moaning, creeping through your bedroom wall Moonlight splashing enough to make a rich girl fall Lightning crashing make a strong, strong woman crawl Drivin' rain, drivin' rain Talkin' 'bout the drivin' rain Pretty women say it drives them insane But they all want to know me I'm the drivin' rain Drivin' rain, drivin' rain Talkin' 'bout the drivin' rain Pretty women say it drives them insane But they all want to know me I'm the drivin' rain |

Yellow moon shining like fool's gold
Slipping soflty into the sea Memories how they linger Guess we weren't strong enough, you and me Still I look to find a reason Search my mind for a vision Hide from the answers as the questions Burn in my head [Chorus:] Shining like a fool's moon Shining like a fool's moon Burning out way too soon Shining like a fool's moon I wish I'd known you as a child I wish I'd known you when my heart ran wild Never knew how much I'd miss those dream-filled days [Chorus] And when all is said and done My loneliness has just begun But you make it look so easy Never winning but never caring if you lose [Chorus] |

As this wheel goes 'round and I search to find my way
Struggle just to hold on through an ordinary day I do believe I'm slipping away But I shall return though I'm losing myself I shall return I shall return from the depths of my own hell I shall return Fate should not have blinded me For your beauty steals my eyes and what good is my wisdom when there are no words to say How I feel everyday But I shall return though I'm losing myself I shall return I shall return from the depths of my own hell I shall return Daylight finds me sleeping dreaming of my youth But darkness calls my name out loud And I answer to the truth But I shall return though I'm losing myself I shall return I shall return from the depths of my own I shall return Oh, I shall return though I'm losing myself I shall return I shall return from the depths of my own hell I shall return |

I must leave you for a season
Go out logging that hardwood timber Hardwood timber that grows so low In the forest of Fennario Tell me what you need to live, love Do you ask that you might own Keep my blue-eyed hound to guard you I will make my way alone I will not return in winter If I be not back by fall Seek me when this small sunflower Stands above the garden wall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario Nine-month blew with sleeted rain And still he came not back again Summoned she the hound to go To seek him in Fennario He came back the fated day To find his lady gone away Made haste to follow in her track Where she could go but not turn back The blue-eyed hound at her side did bay While fast her breath did fade away She cried out: "Turn, my love, and go I would not you see me so" Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario I shall not turn, I shall not yield Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel That bleeds my lady's blood away Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay Angels sing their souls to sleep Four winds grace their breath to keep Up above yon garden wall Stands the sunflower, straight and tall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario |

I never knew you
But then who really did? If you were at all like me You managed to keep yourself hid A patchwork quilt of a life Memories embroidered On your soul So please forgive me For putting you in my song But the spirit she moves me In fact she pushes me along It's a patchwork quilt of a life Can't stop the river Just let it roll We were at Jones Beach When we got the word Saddest sound that I ever heard The bluest note that nobody could play Ravens sang with us that night on the stage Tears of sadness, tears of rage But nobody spoke, we all felt old And in the way So walk beside me Or above me, I don't know These days it sure seems I'm lost where ever I go God, how could you, I heard someone say And what do we do with our lives now anyway? Now that our North Star can no longer be found But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky Hippies dance and babies cry Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel look down And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars Bright lights, dark Star I never knew you But then who really did If you were at all like me You managed to keep yourself hid |

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerers of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh Lord yeah! Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight They leave their role to the poor Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait 'till their judgment day comes Now in darkness world stops turning Ashes where their bodies burning No more war pigs have the power Hand of God has struck the hour Day of judgment God is calling On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan laughing spreads his wings Oh Lord yeah! |

I must leave you for a season
Go out logging that hardwood timber Hardwood timber that grows so low In the forest of Fennario Tell me what you need to live, love Do you ask that you might own Keep my blue-eyed hound to guard you I will make my way alone I will not return in winter If I be not back by fall Seek me when this small sunflower Stands above the garden wall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario Nine-month blew with sleeted rain And still he came not back again Summoned she the hound to go To seek him in Fennario He came back the fated day To find his lady gone away Made haste to follow in her track Where she could go but not turn back The blue-eyed hound at her side did bay While fast her breath did fade away She cried out: "Turn, my love, and go I would not you see me so" Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario I shall not turn, I shall not yield Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel That bleeds my lady's blood away Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay Angels sing their souls to sleep Four winds grace their breath to keep Up above yon garden wall Stands the sunflower, straight and tall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario |

It's heavy-lay your burden down
It's heavy-lay your burden down Brother can't you see stars in the night Brother can't you see stars in the night There's a road up yonder far beyond the light Take a ride this morning on a slow train through the sky Take a ride this morning on a slow train through the sky My life is just a fast train, gone in the blink of an eye It's heavy-lay your burden down It's heavy-lay your burden down Felt the hand last Sunday when the stars refuse to shine Felt the hand last Sunday when the stars refuse to shine I'm just a young man, I don't feel like dying It's heavy-lay your burden down It's heavy-lay your burden down Can't you hear the angels screaming or is it all in my head Can't you hear the angels screaming or is it all in my head Looking out my window and the sky is blood red The sky is blood red You got to lay your burden down |

"My guardian angel wears a hard hat,"
Said the boy with the microphone "Else, I wouldn't be standing here today Ever since I was a young a boy I couldn't leave well enough alone Always trouble standing in my way Up, down, anywhere but in the middle Off the wagon, under the wheel again All or nothing - never could do just a little Never could leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse Hard living be the death of me Lead me to an early grave To die in the saddle must be my destiny But to ride this rocking horse I must be crazed Good clean fun is just my imagination Down and dirty that's the way the game is played This hard life has caused me aggravation Never could leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse Can't leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse |

Only the darkness can keep you warm
On an evil night like this Are you looking for some one To give your little arm a twist Everybody needs some danger sometimes I'm no different Just think of me as your equal I won't undress you I won't hold you down I won't stick a knife in your back The way you did that clown Can you feel it - can you taste it Yeah, you must've seen it coming Surely you could've guessed The game is up I'm gonna' take you down No more crying I think it's time to confess You better pray for a miracle Or you better pray this never ends I, myself, can play the victim I'll do whatever the part demands You saw me watching you You had time to run Ain't it enough that you torture me You had to go for his gun Can you feel it - can you taste it Yeah, you must've seen it coming Surely you could've guessed The game is up I'm gonna' take you down No more crying I think it's time to confess You won't see no bright lights burning But you'll feel the heat This is what happens When strangers turn to lovers turn to enemies Can you feel it - can you taste it Don't look at me that way With that blood on your dress The game is up I'm gonna' take you down No more crying I think it's time to confess |

I see the faces laughing-are they laughing at me?
I know now where the traps lie-are they lying for me? Only love can save you-but I don't feel it I'm just a poor soul I'm weak-but I gotta stand tall Trying not to fall into the abyss I hear the sirens calling-are they calling for me? I feel the tumblers falling-are the falling on me? Only truth can save you-but I don't remember it I'm just a poor soul-I'm weak-But I gotta stand tall Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss Where are all the others that fell before me-will I see them again? And where is the strength that I've known for so long-is it failing me now? Nothing left to save you I'm just a poor soul-I'm weak-but I gotta stand tall Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss |

My spirit sleeps like a sunset trapped behind the clouds
Dying to awake Bright lights shine somewhere over the mountain Much too far away I don't know myself today I can feel me slip away World of confusion Getting darker everyday Morning comes - still I don't feel welcome even in my own skin Feeling kinda numb like the earth after the storm I'm learning to breathe again Bleeding softly on your floor I can't take it anymore World of confusion Getting darker everyday Reality escapes me as I try to do the same Once you saved me for a while till I fell again Did you see your God rising in the smoke? Did he tell you that it was your time? Silence falls uncovered like the truth Naked bathed in God's own light World of confusion Getting darker everyday |

On the banks of the deep end
Where your soul is your best friend Searching for a reason To go astray Wild dreams turn to nightmares Silver clouds turn to golden stairs And everything that you used to know Is slipping away Here I've got my puzzle-piece Only got it for a short term lease No time for asking No going back to get hurt I take a little from the mixture Try to fit it into the picture Got a place where you're standing Dig your shoes into the dirt Trying hard to get back Runnin' on the stones Put you on my shoulders We can be the only one See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look There's a reason to be home There's a feeling when you smile But it feels like it might take over This feeling deep inside And there's a distance down the line Far away from the station We can leave it all behind On a rolling creation Sit away from the window And lock the door Can't you learn from the last time And the time before See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look Got to leave town To see the yellow flowers bloom Sun going down It's gonna be rising soon On the banks of the deep end Twisted as a riverbend Searching for a reason to go astray You couldn't hire twenty-five men To do what the man could do Just the sound of his walking Could split the whole damn town in two Into the night full of shadows He still walks when the thunder rolls This river ain't shallow Reminds us that the bell still tolls Bears in the kitchen Tigers on TV The singer's pretending That this song's for me See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look You took a wrong turn Down by the waterline I heard they had to drag you off the sand Find a dune and the wind will miss you Hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land On the banks of the deep end Where I lost my best friend Searching for a reason to go astray |

Mysterious - blown in with the night
All this beauty captured in a frame Visibly shaken but never stirred - drives them insane I see the way she plays her men - and I know I've got to know her name She's so beautifully broken - shaped by the wind Dangerously twisted - Here I go again I see the way she casts her spell - It's like drowning in moonlight Discards them when she's done - they're lost in her twilight I watch her move from star to star and I wonder why, why it feels so right She's so beautifully broken - you can hardly see the flaw Especially from a distance - which is always how I fall Why do I fall for the dangerous ones - the ones that never learned to let go And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her When she's already been so beautifully broken Why do I fall for the dangerous ones - the ones that Don't know how to let go And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her When she's already been so beautifully broken She's so beautifully broken - shaped by the wind Dangerously twisted - Here I go again Here I go again ************************************************************* Warren Haynes Danny Lewis |

Last night
I saw a fire burning on The palace lawn. O'er the land, The humble subjects watched in mixed Emotion. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Last night I saw the fire spreadin' to The palace door. Silent majority Weren't keepin' quiet Anymore. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Last night I saw the fire spreadin' to The countryside. In the mornin', Few were left to watch The ashes die. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Why? Why? Why? Effigy. |

Yellow moon shining like fool's gold
Slipping soflty into the sea Memories how they linger Guess we weren't strong enough, you and me Still I look to find a reason Search my mind for a vision Hide from the answers as the questions Burn in my head [Chorus:] Shining like a fool's moon Shining like a fool's moon Burning out way too soon Shining like a fool's moon I wish I'd known you as a child I wish I'd known you when my heart ran wild Never knew how much I'd miss those dream-filled days [Chorus] And when all is said and done My loneliness has just begun But you make it look so easy Never winning but never caring if you lose [Chorus] |

Peeping round the door I got a big surprise
Couldn't see a thing but open skies They've taken her away where is she now Wish that she was here wish she'd hold my hand Maybe she could laugh maybe understand Why was I so cruel where is she now Acting like a fool had to make her cry Maybe I'm a Leo but I ain't a lion I'm hurting oh so bad, I want her now |

She's watching as they take him away He'll be better off behind those walls anyway It's the same price - anyway Same price - you have to pay People put you down That's where you're gonna' stay It's the same price - Same price People put you down that's where you're gonna' stay It's the same price Billy dresses like Billie with an "ie" Sometimes in the evening But nobody seems to care Nobody thought he was sane anyway |

Ain't seen a night, things work out right, go by.
Things on my mind, and I just don't have the time, and it don't seem right. Ain't seen a day, that I don't hear people say, they know they're gonna' die. This may seem a little bit crazy, but I don't think you should be so lazy. If you think you've heard this before, well, stick around I'm gonna' tell you more. One just like the other, sin's a good man's brother, but is that right? You tell me that I don't, then I say I won't, but then I might. You said this is the way it's supposed to be, but it just don't seem right to me, and that's outta' sight. Some folks need an education, don't give up, or we'll loose the nation. You say we need a revolution? It seems to be the only solution. |

Soulshine
When you can't find the light That guides you through a cloudy day When the stars ain't shinin' bright And you feel like you've lost you're way When the candle lights of home Burn so very far away Well you got to let your soul shine Just like my daddy used to say He used to say soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Well now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Shine till the break of day I grew up thinkin' that I had it made Gonna make it on my own But life can take the strongest man And make him feel so alone Now sometimes I feel a cold wind Blowin' through my achin' bones I think back to what my daddy said He said 'Boy, in the darkness before the dawn' Let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Yeah now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Shine till the break of day Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul A woman too, God knows, you feel like this (yes you can) And when your world seems cold You got to let your spirit take control Let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Lord now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Yeah, shine on and on and on Oh, it's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Yeah now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Yeah, shine on and on and on Shine till the break of day |

With your little girl smile You got it all figured out So many others You thought they were like me You don't know In this world of fear and desperation You seem to have it all in your hands So used to holding things - holding things But no one ever made you understand (chorus) So come on and tear me down Tear me down Take anything you need - anything Tear me down Tear me down I know what you want So come on and tear me down So many people headed the wrong way Me, I've been - and I'm going again Windsurfing on a fast train Chances are none and slim You think you're the only one In the whole world That ever danced upon the razor's edge I don't need to pour more fuel on the fire But if that's what you want come on (chorus) |

Bigelow the gigolo had no where else to go
His sad eyes had seen it all Scarred and lonely, tough as nails Open your heart when all else fails Wear the veil and the Trojan-horse smile Looking back on yesteryear Seems like maybe you missed your calling But hindsight is very clear when loneliness is falling And you have fallen down Down from the heavens Stuck out in the desert Amazing grace such a lonely place For heroes like you and me Fallen down, just like a shooting star With no fallen angel standing by To carry you away Target practice with other people’s lives Hit a few right between the eyes But most of the time You were wounded by the ricochet You say "play to win boys, never play to lose Long as your playing boys, you’re bullet-proof" But think about it, you’re bleeding to death anyway You have fallen down Down from the heavens Stuck out in the desert Amazing grace such a lonely place For heroes like you and me Fallen down, just like a shooting star With no fallen angel standing by Angel of mercy, take pity on a fool That spent a lifetime wondering What Napoleon would do If he were in your shoes Rich without pleasure, respected without love Drinking poison from a golden cup While anger, creeps like a knife into your heart Looking back on yesteryear Seems like maybe you missed your calling But hindsight is very clear when loneliness is falling And destiny’s through calling And you have fallen down, fallen down Amazing grace, it’s such a lonely place Oh yes it is Fallen down, fallen down Fallen down, fallen down Amazing grace such a lonely place Oh yes yes it is Fallen down, fallen down |

Life here ain't so bad My friends are tired - their lives are wasted Just like their moms and their dads And they don't know what I am talking about And they may never know I'm just fourteen - but I know where I stand Behind these walls - life ain't so easy But it's turned me into a man Sometimes I don't know what I am talking about And I may never know Far away - the cool taste of reality Far away - perfect little family Far away - the little boy I used to be Look at my eyes - maybe they'll show you the truth The truth I cannot see Once in a while I catch a glimpse of it all But it slips away from me Someday I'll know what's going on in my head For now, I'll just stay here Far away - the cool taste of reality Far away - perfect little family Far away - the little boy I used to be Far away I hate it when they look right through you It sends me into a rage I know I ain't crazy - and I don't need your proof I just need out of this cage Hello again - It's me, the fool on the hill Life here ain't so bad |
