And I Feel Fine...The Best Of The IRS

R.E.M And I Feel Fine...The Best Of The IRS Lyrics
1.Begin The Begin

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it.
I looked for it and I found it
Miles Standish proud, congratulate me.

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand
Of the powers, the only vote that matters

Silence means security silence means approval
On Zenith, on the TV, tiger run around the tree
Follow the leader, run and turn into butter

Let's begin again, begin the begin
Let's begin again like Martin Luther Zen
The mythology begins the begin.

Answer me a question I can't itemize
I can't think clearly, look to me for reason
It's not there, I can't even rhyme in the begin

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Example: the finest example is you.

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it.
I looked for it and I found it
Miles Standish proud, congratulate me.

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Let's begin again begin the begin
Let's begin again.


2.Radio Free Europe(Edit)

besides yourself if radio's gonna stay
reason it could polish up the grey
put that put that put that up the wall
that this isnt country at all

raving stations, besides yourself

keep me out of country in the world
deal the porch is leading us absurd
push that, push that, push to the hull
that this isnt nothing at all

straight of the boat, where to go?
calling on in transit, calling on in transit
radio free europe, radio

besides defying media too fast
instead of pushing palaces to fall
put that, put that, put that before all
that this isn't fortunate at all

raving stations, besides yourself
calling on in transit, calling on in transit
radio free europe, radio

decide yourself, calling all of the medias too fast

keep me out of country in the world
disappoint is into us absurd

straight off the boat, where to go?
calling on in transit, calling on in transit
radio free europe


3.Pretty Persuasion

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Cannot shuffle in this heat, it's all wrong
Try to put that on your sleeve it's all wrong, all wrong

He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
Goddamn your confusion
She's got pretty persuasion

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reasoning,
And I put that in this heat it's all wrong
Try to wear that on my sleeve it's all wrong, all wrong

He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
Goddamn your confusion
He's got pretty persuasion

In the light I saw
quite a scene there

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Try to put that in this heat it's all wrong
Cannot wear that on your sleeve it's all wrong, all wrong

He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
Goddamn your confusion
He's got pretty persua-a-a-asion


4.Talk About The Passion

Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction.
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion.
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world.
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world.

Talk about the passion.
Talk about the passion.

Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction.
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion.
Combien, combien, combien du temps?

Talk about the passion.
Talk about the passion.

Talk about the passion.
Talk about the passion.


5.Don't Go Back To Rockville(Edit)

Looking at your watch a third time
Waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place that's far, so far away
And if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello
They don't talk to anybody they don't know

You'll wind up in some factory
That's full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house
Sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange
But I believe you'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year

At night I drink myself to sleep
And pretend I don't care if you're not here with me
Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back

Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year

It's not as though I really need you
If you were here, I'd only bleed you
But everybody else in town
Only wants to bring you down
And that's not how it ought to be

I know it might sound strange
But I believe you'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year


6.Sitting Still

This name I got we all agreed.
See could stop stop it will rid
We could bind it in the cist.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen size, but not Mae Ann
Setting trap for love, making a waste a time, sitting still.

I'm the sign and you can read.
I'm the sign and you're not deaf.
We could bind it in the cist.
We could gather, throw a fit.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen size, but not Mae Ann
Setting trap for love, making a waste a time, sitting still.
I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
This name I got we all agree.
See could stop stop it will rid.
We could bind it in the cist.
We could gather, throw a fit.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen size, but not Mae Ann
Setting trap for love, making a waste a time, sitting still.
I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
You can gather when I talk, talk until you're blue.
You could get away from me.
Get away from me.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen size, but not Mae Ann
Setting trap for love, making a waste a time, sitting still.

I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
Can you hear me?


7.Gardening At Night

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though
all
The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be
too real.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes.
Somewhere
It must be time for penitence. Gardening at night is never
where.

Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.
The neighbors go to bed at ten.
Call the prayer line for a change.
The charge is changing every month.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up, not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't
grow.
I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though
all
The feelings that broke though that door just didn't seem to be
too real.

Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.
Your sister said that you're too young.
They should know they've been there twice.
The call was two and fifty-one.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though
all
The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be
too real.
We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't
grow.

Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.


8.7 Chinese Bros.

This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a
seat
Take in one symphony now, we've just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waited hold it to you in the colored come another

Seven chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She will return, she will return

This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a
seat
Take in one symphony now, we've just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waded seven seas swimming colored come another

Seven chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She will return, she will return

This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a
chair
Take in one symphony now, I guess we lost that battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waded seven seas swimming colored come another

Seven chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years the Communi did reign
She will return, she will return


9.So. Central Rain

Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his words upon the rocks
But I'm not bound to follow suit
The trees will bend, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another home, this choice isn't mine

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn't mine

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry


10.Driver 8

The walls are built up, stone by stone, the fields divided one
by one.
And the train conductor says 'Take a break Driver 8,
Driver 8 take a break We've been on this shift too long'

And the train conductor says 'Take a break Driver 8,
Driver 8 take a break We can reach our destination, but we're
still a ways away'

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get
snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

And the train conductor says 'Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8
take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away'

Way to shield the hated heat. Way to put myself to sleep.
Way to shield the hated heat. Way to put myself, my children to
sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field to weed is stricken thin

And the train conductor says 'Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8
take a break
We've been on this shift too long.'

And the train conductor says 'Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8
take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away'
But we're still a ways away.


11.Can't Get There From Here(Edit)

When the world is a monster.
Bad to swallow you whole.
Kick the clay that holds the teeth in
Throw your trolls out the door
If you're needing inspiration
Philomath is where I go by dawn
Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown
He's mighty bad to visit home

I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way

When your hands are feeling empty
Stick head jumpin' off the ground, 'round
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Brother Ray can sing my song

I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Hands down, Calechee bound

Landlocked kiss the ground
Dirt of seven continents going round and round
Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied
Gentlemen, testify
If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the lowdown
Throw your trolls out the door

I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here

I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way. Thank you, Ray.


12.Finest Worksong

The time to rise has been engaged
You're better best to rearrange
I'm talking here to me alone
I listen to the finest worksong
Your finest hour, your finest hour

Another chance has been engaged
To throw Thoreau and rearrange
You are following this time
I beg you not, beg to rhyme(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your horn) your finest hour

Take your instinct by the reins
Your better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused, been confused(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song) your finest hour

Take your instinct by the reins
Better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused, been confused(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song)
Your finest hour(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song) your finest hour


13.Feeling Gravity's Pull

I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph.
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor

It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull

Somewhere near the end it said
'You can't do this', I said 'I can too'
Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift.

It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,

Holding my head straight(looking down).
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Shift the swaying river's shift,
Oceans fall and mountains drift

It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,

Holding my head straight(looking down).
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...
Reason had harnessed the tame
Holding the sky in their arms
Gravity pulls me down.


14.I Believe

When I was young and full of grace
and spirited, a rattlesnake.
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You're on your honor not to tell

I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
Explain the change, the difference between
What you want and what you need, there's the key,
Your adventure for today, what do you do
Between the horns of the day?

I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

When I was young and give and take
And foolish said my fool awake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You're on your honor, on your honor

Trust in your calling, make sure your calling's true
Think of others, the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make, practice, practice makes perfect,
Perfect is a fault, and fault lines change

I believe my humor's wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

When I was young and full of grace
As spirited a rattlesnake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You're on your honor, on your honor
I believe in example
I believe my throat hurts
Example is the checker to the key

I believe my humor's wearing thin
And I believe the poles are shifting

I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in


15.Life And How To Live It

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
To doors to go between the wall was raised today
To doors remain before your others and your own
Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between the wall was raised today
Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

The hills ringing hear the words in time
Listen to the holler, listen to my walls within my tongue
Can't you see you made my ears go tin?
The air quicken tension building inference suddenly

Life and how to live it

Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best
Read about the wisdom lost, a knock, a knock, a knock
A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

My carpenter's out and running about, barking in the, listen to
the holler
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Listen, listen to the holler,
If I write a book it will be called 'Life and How to Live It


16.Cuyahoga

Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
Our father's father's father tried, erased the parts he didn't
like
Let's try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

And we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed
This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Let's put our heads together, start a new country up,
Underneath the river bed we burned the river down.
This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang,
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Rewrite the book and rule the pages, saving face, secured in
faith
Bury, burn the waste behind you
This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We are not your allies, we can not defend
This is where they walked, this is where they swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone.


17.The One I Love

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)


18.Welcome To The Occupation

Hang your collar up inside
Hang your dollar on me
Listen to the water still
Listen to the causeway you are

Bad and educated, primitive and wild
Welcome to the occupation

Here we stand and here we fight
All your fallen heroes
Held and dyed and skinned alive
Listen to the Congress fire

Offering the educated primitive and loyal
Welcome to the occupation

Hang your collar up inside
Hang your freedom higher
Listen to the buyer still
Listen to the Congress
Where we propagate confusion

Primitive and wild
Fire on the hemisphere below
Sugar cane and coffee cup
Copper, steel and cattle
An annotated history the forest for the fire
Where we open up the floodgates
Freedom reigns supreme
Fire on the hemisphere below

Listen to me Listen to me
Listen to me Listen to me
Listen to me Listen to me
Listen to me.


19.Fall On Me

There's a problem, feathers iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pullies
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky

Don't fall on me(What is it up in the air for)(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me(If it's there for long)(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me(It's over it's over me)(It's gonna fall)

There's the progress we have found(when the rain)
A way to talk around the problem(when the children reign)
Building towered foresight(keep your conscience in the dark)
isn't anything at all(melt the statues in the park)
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky

(repeat chorus)

Don't fall on me
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky.

(repeat chorus, etc.)


20.Perfect Circle

Put your hair back, we get to leave
Eleven gallows on your sleeve
Shallow figure, winner's paid
Eleven shadows way out of place

Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room

Pull your dress on and stay real close
Who might leave you where I left off?
A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends
Drink another, coin a phrase

Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room

Try to win and suit your needs
Speak out sometimes but try to win

Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room


21.It's The End Of The World As We Know It(And I Feel Fine)(Edit)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, don't miserve your own needs
speed it up a notch, speak, grunt, no strength
The ladder start to clatter with fear of height, down height
Wire in a fire representing seven games
And a government for hire at a combat site
Left her wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
Breathing down your neck
Team by team reporters, baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine then
Uh-oh, overflow population, common group
But it'll do to save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat
tell me with a rapture and the reverend and the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

Six o'clock T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign towers
Slash and burn, return. listen to yourself churn
Lock it in, uniforming, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh
This means no fear cavalier, renegade, steer clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions and offer me alternatives, and I decline

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine, I fee fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, bug net, right, right

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine, fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end....

23.These Days

Now I'm not feeding off you, I will rearrange your scales
If I can, and I can. March into ocean, march into the sea
I had a hat I put it down and it sunk, reached down,
Yanked it up, slapped it on my head.

All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days

Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever....
I wish to meet each one of you
And you, me, you, if I can and I can
We have many things in common, name three(three, three, three)
I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
Yanked it up, slapped it on my head.

All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days

Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.
Now I'm not feeding off you I will rearrange your scales
If I can and I can I wish to eat each one of you and you, me,
you
I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
Yanked it up, slapped it on my head.

All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days

Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you...
Carry each his burden, we are young despite the years we are
concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.
(Take away the scattered bones of my meal).


24.Gardening At Night

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though
all
The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be
too real.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes.
Somewhere
It must be time for penitence. Gardening at night is never
where.

Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.
The neighbors go to bed at ten.
Call the prayer line for a change.
The charge is changing every month.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up, not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't
grow.
I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though
all
The feelings that broke though that door just didn't seem to be
too real.

Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.
Your sister said that you're too young.
They should know they've been there twice.
The call was two and fifty-one.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though
all
The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be
too real.
We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't
grow.

Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.


25.Radio Free Europe(Original Hib - Tone Single)

besides yourself if radio's gonna stay
reason it could polish up the grey
put that put that put that up the wall
that this isnt country at all

raving stations, besides yourself

deal the porch is leading us absurd
push that, push that, push to the hull
that this isnt nothing at all

calling on in transit, calling on in transit
radio free europe, radio

besides defying media too fast
instead of pushing palaces to fall
put that, put that, put that before all
that this isn't fortunate at all

raving stations, besides yourself
calling on in transit, calling on in transit
radio free europe, radio

decide yourself, calling all of the medias too fast

keep me out of country in the world
disappoint is into us absurd

straight off the boat, where to go?
calling on in transit, calling on in transit

26.Sitting Still

This name I got we all agreed.
See could stop stop it will rid
We could bind it in the cist.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen size, but not Mae Ann
Setting trap for love, making a waste a time, sitting still.

I'm the sign and you can read.
I'm the sign and you're not deaf.
We could bind it in the cist.
We could gather, throw a fit.

27.Life And How To Live It

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
To doors to go between the wall was raised today
To doors remain before your others and your own
Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between the wall was raised today
Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

The hills ringing hear the words in time
Listen to the holler, listen to my walls within my tongue
Can't you see you made my ears go tin?
The air quicken tension building inference suddenly

Life and how to live it

Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best
Read about the wisdom lost, a knock, a knock, a knock
A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

My carpenter's out and running about, barking in the, listen to
the holler
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Listen, listen to the holler,
If I write a book it will be called 'Life and How to Live It


28.Ages Of You

Postcard stowaway within
Pristine indigo without
Banded ottoman as such
Sofa seated one too much

All along the range all along the range
Ages of you

Train pulls over hanging bridge
Conductor looks up, thinks
out and down, hands stuck to the left
to the right, you should fall,
the horses just don't gossip anymore


29.We Walk

32.Hyena

Night time fell at the opening,
In the final act of the beginning of time.
Hyena take your role, the stage is set.
The town is safe again tonight.

Hyena(I see the day ahead)
Hyena(and all that I've cried through)
Hyena(God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)
Hyena, sister look to your hand

Man you serve communal interest,
She'll tell you when and where and how and why you'd hurt
A beautiful young lady

Hyena(I see the day ahead)
Hyena(and all that I've cried through)
Hyena(God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)

The only thing to fear is fearlessness
The bigger the weapon the greater the fear
Hyena is ambassador to here
Night time fell like the closing
Meager pay, but recognition
Hyena crawls on his belly out
The town is safe again tonight

Hyena(I see the changes, man)
Hyena(Goin' on 'cross the way)
Hyena(I see my road ahead)
Hyena(Don't know if I should stay)
Hyena(I see you holding him,)
Hyena(and all that I've cried through)
Hyena(God knows you're doin' that, don't you?).

35.All The Right Friends

I know you say
Maybe some day
I need never be alone
I know I say
It's the right way
But you'll never be the one

I've been so alone now
For a long long, long time
I don't wanna hang out now
With the folks that just stopped by

While you party
You've been looking
But your searching never ends
You've been going
With the wrong crowd
You've got all the right friends

I've been walking alone now
For a long, long time
I don't want to spend now
With the folks...that just aren't
mine

I don't wanna be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore
I don't wanna be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore

Rave on!
Fall to...fall to...fall to...fall too
Fall to...fall to...fall to...fall too

I don't wanna be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore
I don't wanna be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore

I know you say
maybe some day
I need never be alone
I know I say it's the right way,
but you'll never be alone

I 've been walking alone now
for a long long time
I don't gotta hang out
with the folks that just aren't mine

I don't wanna be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore
I don't wanna be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore


36.Mystery To Me


37.Just A Touch(Live In Studio)

Well what in the world? Women in black
Don't you remember send us back
A day in the life well nobody laughed
Look to the days how long can this last

Kevin heard it on the radio
Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news
Caught it all just a touch

You set the pace of what was to come
I have to carry on now that you're gone
A day in the life well nobody laughed
Look to the days how long can this last

Kevin heard it on the radio
Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news
Caught it all just a touch

There's someone in our dreams
In our preassembled dream
Lord! Dave! William! Well what in the world?
Women in black. Don't you remember send towering past back
A day in the life well nobody laughed
Look to the days how long can this last?

Kevin heard it on the radio
Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news
Caught it all just a touch

I can't see where to worship
Popeye, love Al Green,
I can't see, I'm so young, I'm so God damn young.


38.Bad Day

A Public service announcement followed me home the other day
I paid it nevermind. Go away.
Shits so thick you could stir it with a stick- free Teflon
whitewashed presidency
We're sick of being jerked around
Wear that on your sleeve

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down.

Have you ever seen the televised St. vitus subcommittee prize
Investigation dance? Those-ants-in- pants glances.
Well, look behind the eyes
It's a hallowed, hollow anesthesized
'save my own ass, screw these guys'
smoke and mirror lock down

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
The papers wouldn't lie!
I sigh. Not one more

Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please...

We're dug in the deep the price is steep.
The auctioneer is such a creep.
The lights went out, the oil ran dry
We blamed it on the other guy
Sure, all men are created equal.
Heres the church, heres the steeple
Please stay tuned--we cut to sequel
ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, Count your
blessings.
Ignore the lowest fears
Ugh, this means war.

Its been a bad day.

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down.

Its been a bad day...


39.King Of Birds

A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone
A mean idea to call my own
Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point,
Point observation, children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me
cold.
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly

Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on
(Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young,
there's time to teach, point to point,
point observation, children carry reservations).
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away,
away.

I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice
Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away

Everybody hit the ground. Everybody hit the ground.


40.Swan Swan H(Acoustic)

Swan, swan, hummingbird
Hurrah, we are all free now
What noisy cats are we
Girl and dog he bore his cross

Swan, swan, hummingbird
Hurrah, we are all free now
A long, low time ago, people talk to me
Johnny Reb what's the price of fans?
Forty a piece or three for one dollar?
Hey captain don't you want to buy
Some bone chains and toothpicks?

Night wings, her hair chains,
Here's your wooden greenback, sing
Wooden beams and dovetail sweep
I struck that picture ninety times,
I walked that path a hundred ninety,
Long, low time ago, people talk to me

A pistol hot cup of rhyme
The whiskey is water, the water is wine
Marching feet, Johnny Reb, what's the price of heroes?
Six and one half dozen the other,
Tell that to the captain's mother,
Hey captain don't you want to buy,
Some bone chains and toothpicks?

Night wings, her hair chains
Swan, swan, hummingbird
Hurrah, we are all free now
What noisy cats are we

Long, low time ago, people talk to me
A pistol hot cup of rhyme,
The whiskey is water, the water is wine.


41.Disturbance At The Heron House

They're going wild, the call came in
At early morning predawn then
The followers of chaos out of control

They're numbering the monkeys
The monkeys and the monkeys
The followers of chaos out of control

The call came in to party central
Meeting of the green and simple
Try to tell us something we don't know

They're meeting at the monument
The call came in the monument
To liberty and honor under the honer roll

They've gathered up the cages
The cages and courageous
The followers of chaos out of control

The call came in to party central
Meeting of the green and simple
Try to tell us something we don't know

Disturbance at the Heron House
A stampede at the monument
To liberty and honor under the honor roll

The gathering of the grunts and greens
Cogs and grunts and hirelings
A meeting of a mean idea to hold

When feeding time has come and gone
They'll lose the heart and head for home
Try to tell us something we don't know
We don't now(everyone allowed)
(Everyone allowed, everyone allowed)


42.Time After Time(Ann Elise)

Ask the girl of the hour by the water tower's watch
If your friends took a fall, are your obligated to follow?

Time after, time after time.

When the bull's on his hooves, when you gather friends by the
tower.
If you try to refuse, will they judge your worth by the hour?

Time after, time after time.
Time after, time after time.

If you're tired and you're tried you can find me in my room.
You can stay if you want and the third time you can't lose.

Time after, time after time.
Time after, time after.

Ask the girl of the hour, by the water tower's watch
We can fight if you want but who will turn out the lights?

Time after, time after time.
Time after, time after time.

Time after, time after time.
Time after, time after.


1.Begin The Begin

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it.
I looked for it and I found it
Miles Standish proud, congratulate me.

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand
Of the powers, the only vote that matters

Silence means security silence means approval
On Zenith, on the TV, tiger run around the tree
Follow the leader, run and turn into butter

Let's begin again, begin the begin
Let's begin again like Martin Luther Zen
The mythology begins the begin.

Answer me a question I can't itemize
I can't think clearly, look to me for reason
It's not there, I can't even rhyme in the begin

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Example: the finest example is you.

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it.
I looked for it and I found it
Miles Standish proud, congratulate me.

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Let's begin again begin the begin
Let's begin again.

3.Pretty Persuasion

It's what I want, hurry and buy,

Cannot shuffle in this heat, it's all wrong
Try to put that on your sleeve it's all wrong, all wrong

He's got pretty persuasion

5.Don't Go Back To Rockville(Edit)

Looking at your watch a third time
Waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place that's far, so far away
And if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello
They don't talk to anybody they don't know

You'll wind up in some factory
That's full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house
Sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange
But I believe you'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year

At night I drink myself to sleep
And pretend I don't care if you're not here with me
Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back

Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year

It's not as though I really need you
If you were here, I'd only bleed you
But everybody else in town
Only wants to bring you down
And that's not how it ought to be

I know it might sound strange
But I believe you'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year

(Repeat)

8.7 Chinese Bros.

This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a
seat
Take in one symphony now, we've just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waited hold it to you in the colored come another

Seven chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She will return, she will return

Seven thousand years the Communi did reign
She will return, she will return


9.So. Central Rain

Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his words upon the rocks
But I'm not bound to follow suit
The trees will bend, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another home, this choice isn't mine

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn't mine

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry


10.Driver 8

The walls are built up, stone by stone, the fields divided one
by one.
And the train conductor says 'Take a break Driver 8,
Driver 8 take a break We've been on this shift too long'

And the train conductor says 'Take a break Driver 8,
Driver 8 take a break We can reach our destination, but we're
still a ways away'

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get
snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

And the train conductor says 'Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8
take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away'

Way to shield the hated heat. Way to put myself to sleep.
Way to shield the hated heat. Way to put myself, my children to
sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field to weed is stricken thin

And the train conductor says 'Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8
take a break
We've been on this shift too long.'

And the train conductor says 'Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8
take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away'
But we're still a ways away.


11.Can't Get There From Here(Edit)

When the world is a monster.
Bad to swallow you whole.
Kick the clay that holds the teeth in
Throw your trolls out the door
If you're needing inspiration
Philomath is where I go by dawn
Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown
He's mighty bad to visit home

I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way

When your hands are feeling empty
Stick head jumpin' off the ground, 'round
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Brother Ray can sing my song

I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Hands down, Calechee bound

Landlocked kiss the ground
Dirt of seven continents going round and round
Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied
Gentlemen, testify
If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the lowdown
Throw your trolls out the door

I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here

I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way. Thank you, Ray.


12.Finest Worksong

The time to rise has been engaged
You're better best to rearrange
I'm talking here to me alone
I listen to the finest worksong
Your finest hour, your finest hour

Another chance has been engaged
To throw Thoreau and rearrange
You are following this time
I beg you not, beg to rhyme(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your horn) your finest hour

Take your instinct by the reins
Your better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused, been confused(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song) your finest hour

Take your instinct by the reins
Better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused, been confused(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song)
Your finest hour(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song) your finest hour


13.Feeling Gravity's Pull

I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph.
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor

It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull

Somewhere near the end it said
'You can't do this', I said 'I can too'
Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift.

It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,

Holding my head straight(looking down).
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Shift the swaying river's shift,
Oceans fall and mountains drift

It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,

Holding my head straight(looking down).
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...
Reason had harnessed the tame
Holding the sky in their arms
Gravity pulls me down.


14.I Believe

When I was young and full of grace
and spirited, a rattlesnake.
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You're on your honor not to tell

I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
Explain the change, the difference between
What you want and what you need, there's the key,
Your adventure for today, what do you do
Between the horns of the day?

I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

When I was young and give and take
And foolish said my fool awake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You're on your honor, on your honor

Trust in your calling, make sure your calling's true
Think of others, the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make, practice, practice makes perfect,
Perfect is a fault, and fault lines change

I believe my humor's wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

When I was young and full of grace
As spirited a rattlesnake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You're on your honor, on your honor
I believe in example
I believe my throat hurts
Example is the checker to the key

I believe my humor's wearing thin
And I believe the poles are shifting

I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in


15.Life And How To Live It

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
To doors to go between the wall was raised today
To doors remain before your others and your own
Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between the wall was raised today
Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

The hills ringing hear the words in time
Listen to the holler, listen to my walls within my tongue
Can't you see you made my ears go tin?
The air quicken tension building inference suddenly

Life and how to live it

Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best
Read about the wisdom lost, a knock, a knock, a knock
A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

My carpenter's out and running about, barking in the, listen to
the holler
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Listen, listen to the holler,
If I write a book it will be called 'Life and How to Live It'.


16.Cuyahoga

Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
Our father's father's father tried, erased the parts he didn't
like
Let's try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

And we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed
This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Let's put our heads together, start a new country up,
Underneath the river bed we burned the river down.
This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang,
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Rewrite the book and rule the pages, saving face, secured in
faith
Bury, burn the waste behind you
This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We are not your allies, we can not defend
This is where they walked, this is where they swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone.


17.The One I Love

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)


18.Welcome To The Occupation

Hang your collar up inside
Hang your dollar on me
Listen to the water still
Listen to the causeway you are

Bad and educated, primitive and wild
Welcome to the occupation

Here we stand and here we fight
All your fallen heroes
Held and dyed and skinned alive
Listen to the Congress fire

Offering the educated primitive and loyal
Welcome to the occupation

Hang your collar up inside
Hang your freedom higher
Listen to the buyer still
Listen to the Congress
Where we propagate confusion

Primitive and wild
Fire on the hemisphere below
Sugar cane and coffee cup
Copper, steel and cattle
An annotated history the forest for the fire
Where we open up the floodgates
Freedom reigns supreme
Fire on the hemisphere below

Listen to me Listen to me
Listen to me Listen to me
Listen to me Listen to me
Listen to me.


19.Fall On Me

There's a problem, feathers iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pullyes
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky

Don't fall on me(What is it up in the air for)(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me(If it's there for long)(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me(It's over it's over me)(It's gonna fall)

There's the progress we have found(when the rain)
A way to talk around the problem(when the children reign)
Building towered foresight(keep your conscience in the dark)
isn't anything at all(melt the statues in the park)
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky

Don't fall on me(What is it up in the air for)(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me(If it's there for long)(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me(It's over it's over me)(It's gonna fall)
Don't fall on me

Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole

Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky

Don't fall on me(What is it up in the air for)(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me(If it's there for long)(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me(It's over it's over me)(It's gonna fall)


20.Perfect Circle

Put your hair back, we get to leave
Eleven gallows on your sleeve
Shallow figure, winner's paid
Eleven shadows way out of place
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room

Pull your dress on and stay real close
Who might leave you where I left off?
A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends
Drink another, coin a phrase
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room

Try to win and suit your needs
Speak out sometimes but try to win
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room


21.It's The End Of The World As We Know It(And I Feel Fine)(Edit)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, don't miserve your own needs
speed it up a notch, speak, grunt, no strength
The ladder start to clatter with fear of height, down height
Wire in a fire representing seven games
And a government for hire at a combat site
Left her wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
Breathing down your neck
Team by team reporters, baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine then
Uh-oh, overflow population, common group
But it'll do to save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat
tell me with a rapture and the reverend and the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

Six o'clock T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign towers
Slash and burn, return. listen to yourself churn
Lock it in, uniforming, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh
This means no fear cavalier, renegade, steer clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions and offer me alternatives, and I decline

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine, I fee fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, bug net, right, right

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine, fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end....
