2.Radio Free Europe
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.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
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.

Combien, combien, combien du temps？

Not everyone can carry the weight of the world.

5.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
6.Don't Go Back To Rockville
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
7.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
8.Green Grow The Rushes
The wheelbarrow's fallen
Look at my hands
They've found some surplus cheaper hands
Rubbing palms and pick and choose,
who will they choose？ Here is the news.
Look at that building, look at this man
Haloed and whitewashed
Gone to find a cheaper hand
he'll offer a pound, offer a pound.
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
The compass points the workers home
Pay for your freedom, find another gate
Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago
Guilty as you go
Stay off that highway, word is it's not so safe
The grasses that hide the greenback
The amber waves of gain again
The amber waves of gain
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
The compass points the workers home
9.Can't Get There From Here
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.
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.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
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.
12.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
13.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.
14.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)
15.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
16.It's The End Of The World As We Know It(And I Feel Fine)
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....
