1.All My Ghosts

If i could live to be several hundred
I could take a walk and really wander
Really wonder
All my ghosts on every sea in every land
Who needs that now? (3x)

Have you heard about the heavenly angels
How they came to earth and met some ladies
With whom they mated?
And their young became giants every one
Who needs that now? (3x)

I was driving across the valley floor
Going past a scene of gore
Something that had ended here
Then i stopped in at a porno store
And i found among the pictures there
A vision that was very fair
Just a moment from yesteryear
All i could do was stare
I had a date for the eleventh hour
And we took a tour of the seven horrors
Plus just one more
Hank the eighth was a duplicated man
Who needs that now? (3x)


2.Back To Rome

One day it's the morning
Another day it's the afternoon light
On day, baby, without warning
Well, i tend to think we're going back to rome
Back to rome
We had a dream it was behemoth
I'm so sorry that i didn't work out
And i'm sorry about the visigoths
Well, i think it's time that we go back to rome
Back to rome
Don't you wish that we could stay?
We're going back to rome
Life is so fine
Then it goes wrong
Wrong
You think it's going to miss you but that sun bitch gon' get you
Yeah, it goes wrong
Wrong
Sun bitch gon' get you
I believed in the cupid
I thought i'd kiss you for all my life
I guess i'm just a little stupid
Now i'm going back to rome
Back to rome
Now i just can't wait
I'm going back to rome
Love is so high
Then it goes wrong
Wrong
You think it's going to miss you but that sun bitch gon' get you
Yeah, it goes wrong
Wrong
Sun bitch gon' get you


3.Do You Feel Bad About It?

Let me tell you what i would do
I'd consider the possibility of a mistake
Yeah, if i were you
I would give me a break
Do you feel bad about it?
Do you feel sad about it?
Do you feel sick about it
This parting of the ways?
I don't want to chat about it
I want to scream and shot about it
'cause i ain't had it about this
This parting of the ways
Well, i served you up all my affection
But that didn't work out so great
And i'd help you with your defection
But i still think i'm your best fate
Let me tell you what i would do
I'd consider the possibility of a mistake
Yeah, if i were you
I would give me a break
Do you feel bad about it?
Do you feel sad about it?
Do you feel sick about it
This parting of the ways?
I don't want to chat about it
I want to scream and shout about it
'cause i ain't had it about this
This parting of the ways
Well, i never will be ashamed
Of begging you-begging you
For
More
Of the same


4.Dog Gone

I could not pray
I felt so dog gone
Couldn't get no witness but i did not know
Then a voice in a whisper said you've got to carry it on
And the news is gonna break
The news is gonna break
The news is gonna break that i am here
Out along the way i got so bogged down
I had some business there i did not slow
And a boy in the world said you've got to carry it on
And the news is gonna break
The news is gonna break
The news is gonna break that i am here
I'm not a messenger
I'm not the passenger
Got some business there but you did not know
And the point of my visit, well sir, that's to carry me on
And the news ig gonna break
And the news is gonna break
Yeah, your noose is gonna break when i am there
No paris
No nepal
No barstow
Won't be none of them at all
No congo
No kish or kishangargh
No memphis
It doesn't matter who you are
I'm on my way
I feel so dog gone
Go 'bout your business but you did not know
And the point if there is one, well sir
That's to carry me on
And the news is gonna break
(your noose is gonna break)
The news is gonna break that i am here)
The news is gonna break that i am here
And your noose is gonna break when i am there


5.I Gotta Move

I gotta move
I had a taste
I gotta move
I gotta me me off the face
Like peter radiator
I heard that he got bashed
Yeah, he got sainted
You know it wasn't for the cash
I gotta move
I had a taste
I gotta move
I gotta get me off the face
He told me
In heaven
That every
Everything is fine
Yeah, that would make a good movie
Yeah, that would make a good record
I gotta move
I gotta break
I gotta move
I gotta get me cross the lake
And then he stopped to say
Before he went down
This is the worst place in the sun
I gotta move
I had a taste
I gotta move
I gotta get me off the face
There was a jack who coiffed it
He came from my home town
He was a prophet
Some kids they put him in the ground
Got coffee
Got donuts
Got wasted
Erased head
And what do they say?
He's not afraid of the present tense
And talking back is a bad defense
I gotta move
I gotta break
I gotta move
I gotta get me cross the lake
I gotta move (4x)

And then he stopped to say
Before he went down
This is the worst place in the sun
I gotta move (5x)


6.I Need Peace

Close your eyes
Or you'll have a lot of tears to cry
So hey now if you're wise
You won't open up your eyes
Close your ears
'cause you don't really want to hear
The things that give you tears
So don't open up your ears
And if you sleep
Well, you better not go too deep
'cause bad things they will seep
Right down into your sleep
And if you wake
Well, you're gonna have a nervous break
So sleep now for goodness' sake
Sleep for goodness' sake
I need peace
I get so down
I've got these
Turned up so loud
Turned up so loud


7.King & Queen Of Siam

I love the north part
I love your marble ear
Your eyes are blues
Well, i tried to leave me but i could not stay away
I love the4 south part
I love the temperature, sure
I want to play with you
Like a man from texas well i sure can play
Incarnation
I would love you
Resurrection, too
I would love you
Well, i do do do do do
I had a good start
Under the king and queen of siam
It was a royal rule
Just to make sweet love just all the time
Now here's the hard part
The really hard par, huh
I don't know what to do
'cause a mountain of forever is too high too climb
Incarnation
I would love you
Resurrection, too
I would love you
Well, i do do do do


8.Six-sixty-six

In the midst of the war
He offered us peace
And he came like a lover
From out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six-sixty-six
He walked up to the temple
With gold in his hands
And he bought off the priests
And propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot
And laid in the sand
While the band played six-sixty-six
We served at his table
And slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us
And nailed us to the door
Well, i'm ready to die
I can't take any more
And i'm sick of his lies and his tricks
He told us he loved us
But that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets
And death in his eyes
Well, my number is up
And i'm willing to die
If the band will play six
If the band will play six-sixty
If the band will play six-sixty-six


9.Solid Gold

Never since i met you
Did you let me in
Even when i let you
You wouldn't call me friend
Pedal to the metal
Mister, it's a sin
Getting so down
I'd give you solid gold
Just for your finger
You get the medal
For getting so down
I guess you didn't see that sky
When the clouds are turned to isles
I was glad when you couldn't hear me
Nervous laughter when you shouted and cursed
I'm not saying i understand
Lord knows who can understand
Life can be an awful plan
And yours it ain't the worst

Here she comes now
In my mirror
Oh, i know how
She is a terror
Now i see her
In her mirror
Wearing a frown
I give you solid gold just for your finger
You get the medal
For scariest frown
I guess you didn't see that sky
When the clouds are turned to isles
I was glad when you couldn't hear my
Nervous laughter when you shouted and cursed
Fourthly you're suspect
Thirdly you don't get
Secondly you've got no respect
Finally you're not the first


10.Steak 'n' Sabre

I was sitting at a table
Down at the steak 'n' sabre
With cain and abel
The circumstance was a different kind of world
We were laughing and drinking
The universe was shrinking
I was thinking, man, that's a different kind of world
Down at the steak 'n' sabre
Like trobarianders
Don't you understand that's a different kind of world
I was swimming in bali
When i got swallowed
By something hollow
We were going down to a different kind of world
Where they talk like plato
And sweet potatoes growing all around in a different kind of
world
Right down in the shallows
And the wind it blows
Don't you know that's a different kind of world


11.Suffering

I heard about your happiness
And all the plans that you're involved in
Since you're gone you'd be impressed
To know i, too, have been evolving
But i don't think you comprehend
I've been suffering
Yeah, i've been suffering
Guess i'll be suffering up around the bend
This love is a cancer in me
I can feel it advancing in me
This fire it is my light in the world
Well, i found me a new friend
I've been suffering
Yeah, i've been suffering
Guess i'll be suffering up around the bend
I hung around in a leather bar
They threw me on the cement
Slept all night in my plastic car
Got in an accident
I brushed by you in the supermart
And i had me a touch of what's real
It was real when you crushed me with your steel
Black clouds roll through my mind
Who says anyway these halls are sovereign?
I am a hater of the human kind
So keep away, this heart's not softening
No, i don't think that it's the end of this suffering
Yeah, i've been suffering
I've been suffering
I've been suffering
And i'll be suffering up around the bend


12.The Man Who Was Too Loud

Though le loved to rock and roll
All these many years
He cared about the old people's
And little children's ears
Though he was a guitar man
He reflected and he vowed
Never will i ever be
No ne'er, ne'er again
The man who was too loud
Johnny's not a poor man
No, he never gets him down
Now that he is free he is not proud
He don't need the power
Just to make a sound
He is not the man that he used to be
Oh, no, the man who was too loud
I will play softly
I will play softly
I will play softly now
'cause i was the man who was too loud
It's not because he don't respect
The popular music style
You know i saw him open up
For the kind of the surf guitar
Do not think he does not like
The cheering of the crowd
No, he is glad that they came to see
The man who used to be
The man who was too loud
Johnny is a rich man
Yeah, he still gets around
He is glad to be the car who meowed
He don't need the power
Just to get his sound
He is not the man that he used to be
Oh no, the man who was too loud
I will play softly
I will play softly
I will play softly now
'cause i was the man who was too loud
