Soundgarden Screaming Life Lyrics
1.Entering

I'm entering without a sound
I'm entering on wings i've flown
A million miles of covered ground
I'm entering

I'm entering without a sound
I'm entering on wings i've flown
A million miles of covered ground
I'm entering


2.Fopp

Fopped last night and the night before
I had to fopp outside and then i went indoors
Fopped so hard i made the people warm
They stood back and gave me all the floor

I did the fopp, the fopp
They wouldn't let me stop
Yeah i was foppin' and rockin'
Had the house hoppin'

Foppin', the way it makes you go, everybody was
Foppin', everywhere you go, do all your
Shoppin', wiggle to the floor, everybody was foppin'

Fopp with me and i'll fopp with you
Foppin' is the brand new thing to do
Fopped so hard that i lost my shoe
I fopped so tough they had to make some room

Break your leg, don't you fopp your back
Do your thing, don't you give no slack
Shake your hips and then you turn around
Well first you fopp it up
And then you fopp it down

Fopp me right, don't you fopp me wrong
We'll be here foppin' all night long
I'm too short, baby, and you're too tall
But when we're foppin' that don't mean a thing at all

Foppin', the way it makes you go, everybody was
Foppin', everywhere you go, do all your
Shoppin', wiggle to the floor,, everybody was foppin'


3.Fopp(Dub)

Fopped last night and the night before
I had to fopp outside and then i went indoors
Fopped so hard i made the people warm
They stood back and gave me all the floor

I did the fopp, the fopp
They wouldn't let me stop
Yeah i was foppin' and rockin'
Had the house hoppin'

Foppin', the way it makes you go, everybody was
Foppin', everywhere you go, do all your
Shoppin', wiggle to the floor, everybody was foppin'

Fopp with me and i'll fopp with you
Foppin' is the brand new thing to do
Fopped so hard that i lost my shoe
I fopped so tough they had to make some room

Break your leg, don't you fopp your back
Do your thing, don't you give no slack
Shake your hips and then you turn around
Well first you fopp it up
And then you fopp it down

Fopp me right, don't you fopp me wrong
We'll be here foppin' all night long
I'm too short, baby, and you're too tall
But when we're foppin' that don't mean a thing at all

Foppin', the way it makes you go, everybody was
Foppin', everywhere you go, do all your
Shoppin', wiggle to the floor,, everybody was foppin'


4.Hand Of God

The hand of god lays high above me
I'll be good if you really love me
Let me feel your mighty crunch
As you rub me out like water, fire, coal, etc

Let it be known today, if you've got two hands
You're supposed to pray
Fingers of fire, coal and lead
Fondly love me till i'm dead

The hand of god is thick and callous
Bruised and torn from stones and sticks
The hand of god has got a ring about the size of texas
Made of steel and rust, my fingers smear

Let me try on your hand, and see if it fits
Don't worry i won't touch anything unholy with it


5.Hunted Down

Lyrics:chris cornell
Music:kim thayil

They saw you yesterday as you were leaving
Now they run to hunt you down
Dogs lead the chase as you are bleeding
They run to hunt you down

Your narrow escape has wiped the smile from your face
Starved dogs howling, run to hunt you down

You smile as you look in the mirror
Tears have left your eyes
Your face has a different exterior
Permanent disguise

Your narrow escape has wiped the smile right from your face
Starved dogs howling, run to hunt you down


6.Kingdom Of Come

So you think i got something on you
I bet i know what you're gonna say

So glad to see you're at it again
So glad i ain't your only friend
When are you going to understand
That it's okay, maybe now


7.Little Joe

Lyrics:chris cornell
Music:kim thayil

Little joe, run for the border
Leave your home
Go where the reptiles roam
On the side of the border that is your home

Little joe, eyes of your lover look back on you
As you run for cover
Though stick and fire and may break your bones
There's a light in the tunnel that leads you home

Little joe, just like your father
Your eyes will water, your guts will splatter
Though sticks and fire, sticks and fire
Won't break your bones, it is a lie

Little joe, run for the border
Leave your mother and father
Go to where the reptiles roam
They're waiting for you, little joe


8.Nothing To Say

Lyrics:chris cornell
Music:kim thayil

Someone says my words are out of balance
Nothing to say
Dying words i bury everyday
Nothing to say

You've got nothing to say, nothing to say

Bog bad words spell it with four letters
Nothing to say
Oh my god, your words are out of balance
Nothing to say

Nothing but one thing
You've got nothing, nothing to say


9.Swallow My Pride

She looked at me with dignity
She said there's something you gotta see
Even though this country's headed for war
This nation is prouder than ever before
Yeah that was spirit in the air
We're more american than anywhere
And i just smile cause i could tell
This little girl was going to
Hell

Now i wouldn't mind
If you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright
Yeah now deep inside
Feel alright

Hey, all the warmth in her heart
Couldn't keep my blood from running cold
Cause i fell for her looks
Now i wanna go for her throne
I tried to tell her a thousand times
But little girl didn't understand at all

Now i wouldn't mind
If you swallow my pride
Make me feel alright
Yeah now deep inside
Feel alright

Alright
You can swallow my pride

Now i wouldn't mind
If you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright, deep inside
Feel alright
Pride... pride... pride
You can swallow my pride


10.Tears To Forget

Lyrics:hiro yamamoto
Music:kim thayil & hiro yamamoto

These tears to remember
These tears to forget
I tried and i cried
These tears to forget

I suckle life
Its love and its beauty
I scream from life
These tears to remember
These tears to forget
I tried to cry away
These tears
