1.How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us
Blood from a stone
Water from wine
Born under earplay design
A stroke of bad luck
Wrong place, wrong time
Let's fly up out of the lime
The story is a sad one, told many times
The story of my life in trying times
Just add water, stir in lime
How the west was won and where it got us
Canary got trapped, the uranium mine
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died
A marker to mark where my tears run dry
I cross it, bless it, alkali
The story is a sad one, told many times
The story of my life in trying times
Just add water, stir in lime
How the west was won and where it got us
I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain
Now I can't see anything
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design
I cracked through time, space, godless and dry
I point my nose to the northern star
Watch the decline from a hazy distance
The story is a sad one, told many times
The story of my life in trying times
Just add water, stir in lime
How the west was won and where it got us
2.The Wake Up Bomb(Live)
I look good in a glass pack
I look good and mean
I look good in metallic sick wraparounds blackout tease
I scud along the horizon
Chew some sweet tree
I get high in my low-ass boot cut cheap
I like being seen
I look good with my drink eat no sleep
Take a leap, longevity
I get high on my attitude, latitude, 1973
I'm in deep
My head's on fire and high esteem
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head's on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
I had to knock a few buildings over
I make an ugly mess
I had to blow a gasket
Drop transmission
I had to decompress
I had to write the great American novel
I had a neutron bomb
I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21
I wake up (I wake up)
I wake up (I wake up)
I threw up when I saw what I'd done
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head's on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere, doing anything
I've had enough, I've seen enough
I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup
I drank it all, I spit it up
I've had enough, I've seen enough
I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup
I drank it all, I spit it up
Yeah, atomic, supersonic
What a joke, I'm dumb
See ya, don't wanna be you
Lunch meat, pond scum
My head's on fire in high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere, doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere, doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere, doing anything
Yeah
3.New Test Leper
I can't say that I love Jesus
That would be a hollow claim
He did make some observations
And I'm quoting them today
'Judge not lest ye be judged'
What a beautiful refrain
The studio audience disagrees
Have his lambs all gone astray？
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
'You are lost and disillusioned'
What an awful thing to say
I know this show doesn't matter
It means nothing to me
I thought I might help them understand
But what an ugly thing to see
'I am not an animal'
Subtitled under the screen
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
When I tried to tell my story
They cut me off to take a break
I sat silent 5 commercials
I had nothing left to say
The talk show host was index-carded
All organized and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened
What a sad parade
What a sad parade
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
4.Undertow(Live)
I know what I wanted
I know what I wanted
I hnow how I wanted this to be
You go down to the water
Drink down of the water
Walk up off the water, leave it be
This is not my time, brother
It is cold in heaven
And I'm not sprouting wings
I'm drowning
Me
I'm drowning
Me, yeah
Brother can you see those birds？
They don't look to heaven
They don't need religion, they can see
They go down to the water
Drink down on the water
Fly up off the water, leave it be
This is not my time, sister
It is cold in heaven
And no one's coming after me
I'm drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me
Breathing ourselves
I'm drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me, yeah
You know I am tired
Cold and bony tired
Nothing's gonna save me, I can see
I can't say I'm fearful
I can't say I'm not afraid
But I am not resisting, I can see
I don't need a heaven
I don't need religion
I am in the place where I should be
I am breathing water
I am breathing water
You know a body's got to breathe
I'm drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me
Breathing ourselves
I'm drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me, yeah
5.E-Bow The Letter
Look up, what do you see？
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise
The bus ride, I went to write this
4：00 a.m. this letter
Fields of poppies, little pearls
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
Each and every one a little scary
I said your name
I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas, whoever she is
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
This star thing, I don't get it
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over
Will you live to 83？
Will you ever welcome me？
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen？
Smoke it, drink
Here comes the flood
Anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone, eat it, drink
Just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
Aluminum, the weakest link
I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
But is that sickest move？
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange？
My loss, and here we go again
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over
Look up, what do you see？
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise
I can't look it in the eyes
Seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow
The smell of fear, I got it
I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
Aluminum, tastes like fear
Adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
It tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over
Pulls us near
Tastes like fear..
Nearer, nearer
Over, over, over, over
Yeah, look over
I'll take you there, oh, yeah
I'll take you there
Oh, over
I'll take you there
Over, let me
I'll take you there..
There, there, baby, yeah
6.Leave
Nothing could be bring me closer
Nothing could be bring me near
Where is the road I follow？
Believing, leave
It's under, under, under my feet
The scene spread out there before me
Better I go where the land touches sea
There is my trust in what I believe
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further
From my old friend time
Shifting the dream
It's charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
Suffer the dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it
I know it well, ugly and sweet
A temper man who said believe in his dream
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I sent it on an airline plane
I sent it off in an airplane
That never left the ground
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
Lift me, lift me
I attain my dream
I lost myself, I lost them
Heartache calling me
I lost myself in sorrow
I lost myself in pain
I lost myself in gravity
Memory, leave, leave
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
Midnight hands, my eyes are still
I walk into the scene
Shoot myself in a different place
Leavin'
Longed for this to take me
Longed for my release
Waited for the coming
Leavin', leave
Leave, leave
Leavin', leavin'
7.Departure(Live)
Just arrived Singapore, San Sebastian
Spain, 26-hour trip
Salt Lake City, come in spring
Over the salt flats a hailstorm
Brought you back to me
Salt Lake City, come in spring
Over the salt flats a hailstorm
Brought you back to me
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes, back, back
Departure, godspeed, bless his heart, good boy
What a fuck-up, what a fighter
A free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider
Hung on the line like a poison spider
Win a eulogy from William Greider
Car crash, ptomaine, disposable lighter
A bus plunge, avalanche, a vinegar cider
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes, back, back
Go, go, go, go, yeah
Well, everybody is young forever
There's so much to tell you, so little time
I've come a long way since the whatever
Shit, I still see a word, think of you
There is so much that I can't do, yeah
You will be young forever
There's so much that I can't do
There is so much that I can't do
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes, back, back
8.Bittersweet Me
I move across, innocence lost
All flashing pulsar
I move across the earth in my new pattern shirt
I pass satellites
'You're so bitter', your complaint
I can't give you anything
I don't know who you're livin for
I don't you at all anymore
I'd sooner chew my leg off
Than be trapped in this
How easy you think of all of this
As bittersweet me
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore
I move across, candy floss
I move like a tank
I move across the room
With a heart full of gloom
I'm stronger than you think
Oh my peer
Your veneer is wearing thin and cracking
The surface and forms underneath
Underneath is lacking
I'd sooner chew my leg off
Than be trapped in this
How easy you think of all of this
As bittersweet me
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore
You move across, innocence lost
All static and desire
You're blue in the face from navel gaze
You set yourself on fire
You strip down and lay yourself out
I know you can't fake it
But are you tired and naked？
Are you tired and naked？
I'd sooner chew my leg off
Than be trapped in this
How easy you think of all of this
As bittersweet me
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore
9.Be Mine
I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I wanna be your Easter bunny
I wanna be your Christmas tree
I'll strip the world that you must live in
Of all its godforsaken greed
I'll ply the tar out of your feathers
I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet
You and me
You and me
You and me
And if I choose your sanctuary
I'll want to wash you with my hand
I'll want to drink of sacred fountains
And find the riches hidden there
I'll eat the lotus and peyote
I'll want to hear the caged bird sing
I'll want the secrets of the temple
I'll want the finger with the ring
You and me
You and me
You and me
Then if you make me your religion
I'll give you all the room you need
I'll be the drawing of your breath
I'll be the cup if you should bleed
I'll be the sky above the Ganges
I'll be the vast and stormy sea
I'll be the lights that guide you inward
I'll be the visions you will see
The visions you will see
You will see
You will see
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me
10.Binky The Doormat(Live)
This is horror movie stuff
The muffin is peach, you're makin' love'
You mean this opera involves handcuffs？
I lay defeated
Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet
She's a girl and she's loving me
But distance is my tendency
I am defeated
Have you lost your place？ (go away)
I wore my doormat face (go away)
I hung my this or that (go away)
I laid my welcome mat (go away)
If I'm your oyster, where's the war？
You leave me gasping, tattered and torn
I know you can't find a fork
I am just a little acorn
Well, acorns grow to mighty trees
You've got sauce, but you don't have knees
Now look who's asking pretty please
I lay defeated
Have you lost your place？ (go away)
I wore my doormat face (go away)
I hung my this or that (go away)
I laid my welcome mat (go away)
Call your bathroom friends around
I will fake a little frown
I will be your little clown
Easily defeated
Yeah, shut the door and open wide
Seconal and astroglide
Fuck with me and traumatize
Don't you see I love your hide？
All the beauty that's trapped inside
Can't you see I love your hide？
Can't you see I love your hide？
Can't you see it？
Have you lost your place？ (go away)
I wore my doormat face (go away)
I hung my this or that (go away)
I laid my welcome mat (go away)
I hung my this or that (go away)
I laid my welcome mat (go away)
Go away...
11.Zither
(instrumental)
12.So Fast, So Numb
Movin' through rough waters motel boy
And swimming in your sleep
How could I be so blind, mis-sighted
Not to see there's something wounded deep
Anyone could scratch your surface now
It's all amphetamine
You're blasting yourself into the present
Learn some vast indignity, stay that
You say that you hate it
You want to re-create it
I've been around, I've been your lover
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
That you can't even feel
You're drinking the wrong dream now, baby
You do-si-do, saddo
You're you in cartilage, shark-eyed
Shock horror, all present tense
And boy your blood is running cold
Listen, this is now, this is here, this is me
This is what I wanted you to see
That was then, was that, that is gone, this is past
You cast yourself cast, passed by, gone down fast
You say that you hate it
You want to recreate it
I've played this round, I've played your lover
I've played it out to the hilt
You're comin' on with something so fast, so numb
That you can't even feel
You love it, you hate it
You want to re-create it
Now, this is here, this is me
This is what I wanted you to see
That was then, was that, that is gone
That is what I wanted you to feel
You love it, you hate it
You spit it out, the bitter pill
I've been around, I've been your lover
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
That you can't even feel
I've played this round, I've played your lover
I've played it out to the hilt
You're comin' on with something so fast, so numb
That you can't even feel
You played around, you played me lover
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill
You're moving so hard, so fast, so numb
That you can't even feel
13.Low Desert
It happened fast, it's over quick
A little dust and the engine kicks
Did your hands drift down off the wheel？
Roll out, hits your windshield
An eyelash or a little bit of sleep？
Time stands still
Just call it now and you're on your way
Hey
Hey, hey
Hey
All the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives
Broken casino and waterslides
Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice
Gravity flows on the power line
Jet stream cuts the desert sky
This is a land could eat a man alive
Say you'd leave it all behind
Hey
Hey, hey
Hey
There's a radio tower that's egging me on
Back to the place where you never belong
Where people thrive on their own contempt
Whatever meaning is long gone, spent
If you had to guess or make a bet
Would you place yourself inside of it？
The mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh
Tricked again, let go
Hey, hey
Hey
Hey, hey
Hey
Hey, hey
Hey
14.Electrolite
Your eyes are burning holes through me
I'm gasoline
I'm burnin' clean
Twentieth century, go and sleep
You're plasticine
That is obscene
That is obscene
You are the star tonight
You shine electric outta sight
You light eclipsed the moon tonight
Elecrolite
You're outta sight
If I ever want to fly
Mulholland Drive
I am alive
Hollywood is under me
I'm Martin Sheen
I'm Steve McQueen
I'm Jimmy Dean
You are the star tonight
You shine electric outta sight
You light eclipsed the moon tonight
Elecrolite
You're outta sight
If you ever want to fly
Mulholland Drive
Up in the sky
Stand on a cliff and look down there
Don't be scared, you are alive
You are alive
You are the star tonight
You shine electric outta sight
You light eclipsed the moon tonight
Elecrolite
You're outta sight
Twentieth century go and sleep
Really deep
We won't blink
You're eyes are burnin' holes through me
I'm not scared
I'm outta here
I'm not scared
I'm outta here
