Swill

Ten Foot Pole Swill Lyrics
1.Racer X

I run but I'm running in place
There's no place to hide
I drive but I'm losing the race
I'm only along for the ride

When I was younger they were easily satisfied
Win or lose it didn't matter as long as you tried

But now the game is not just for fun
I have to run I have to run like Racer X chasing the sun

I feel like a shadow of a man
There's nothing left inside
I see nothing but demands
Wonde when the real me died

And I like a cartoon man who runs from place to place
I'm two dimensional there's no depth in my face


2.Life

You're lying on the cross
They come up to you
Blood rushing through your veins
And you don't know what to do
They said you were crucified
For all of your sins
Now you're dead
Dead on the cross

Millions of people died in your name
Is this the way you make them feel your pain
Tv preachers tell us all
Your coming back to save man from his fall
I have my doubts
About what you say
Because it's hell
Living from day to day


3.Home

Hey have you picked up anymore
Marbles off the floor
The streets you once lived on
Are now gone
Time will never stop
And that stilts we used to walk on
Are now too weak
For you and me to walk on now

Looking out among the clouds
Right through the rain
Massive mountain tops in the front of me
I want to go home
Where I know it is safe
And everybody's watching out for me

Home that's where I live
Spend most of my time
Here there's too much unrest
Nothing goes as planned
So let's leave and go on home
Before it gets too late
Dancing to the music all night long


4.People Like You

you complainer what you complaining about why don't you take a
good look see what this world is all about when your feeling
sorry for yourself and there's a roof over your head remember
the man who's got a box for a bed we don't need people like you
you have got to lose that attitude when your worried about your
bills are being paid on time look at the man who shops a the
five and dime he has got a lot of coupons that fill up his hat
that man he's living out of a garbage can and he digs through
the waste of you and me he doesn't have a family how can you be
unhappy where you are when i see you driving your fancy car you
have got limbs to walk and run that man in the chair doesn't
have none we don't need people like you


5.Skywalker

waiting for the answers all solutions to my problems i guess i
need your help on the way am i searching keep track of what's
going on learing from my failure i'm not afraid to fall don't
want to dig my hole and deeper still think i need your help fear
the pilot who steers the ship don't get off the train are you
afraid i'm not no tickets to my paradise it's all inside don't
be afraid to explore your mind and go crazy will you open be
open armed save me from this wreck i'm not afraid to die keep
digging down i'm over my head what are you i won't flu on the
ship eating you off a piece of paper then freaked off my trip
and now it's later on and i won't end this way my high is so
much stronger all the colors in my hole am i alive? i've just
lost a portion of my mind but i have opened a new door i won't
forget the time that you showed me


6.Pete's Shoes

a gift of life see the sunset mother earth on the sand feel the
impressions inside my head my minds a wandering my minds a
wandering and i can't forget the way i feel i won't forget now
that i know something that drives me to the end and leaves going
by my instincts they know what's right i try not to keep it all
inside sometimes when i'm sitting on the edge i need to push me
so when your knocking on my door if i open will you open up to
me if i let you will you go all the way will you join me will
you join me


7.Ultimatum

Sitting on the couch watching time slip away
Reach for your lighter to burn another way
The clock runs fast while you run slow
Nothing worth doing and nowhere to go

Don't blame it on the herb
You get what you deserve
There are people all around that it has served
I know how you feel
I have been there before
But now it's up to you I can't do any more

I can't wait for you another day
Your attitude has got to change
What else do you expect me to say
Get off your ass or I'm on my way

Maybe life is pointless and full of pain
But slowly dragging through it drives me insane
I know we were close and I will miss you
But I can't wait around there's so much I want to do

Don't blame it on the herb
You get what you deserve
There are people all around that it has served
What can I do when you ask me for help?
I have tried everything but you do it for yourself

I know you just want to dull the pain
But life goes fast and you stalled in the slow lane
You know you're lagging and it's time to shift gears
And blow this rut you have been stuck in for years

Now it's time, it's time for a change


8.Forward

Hey can you hear anything
Can the music make you move
Can inspiration still be enough
To make you want to play
Are there any lies behind the truth

They they just don't understand
What we are gonna play
Try to tell us how to peak our minds
We are going forward


9.Third World Girl

security was all i was after but i found so much more you made
me start the thinking and i don't regret a thing i guess you
made me understand what you want and what you need sometimes my
eyes are so blind you've given up so much for me give me time to
let everything sink in the future seems so bright now that the
day of eternity is here you're my third world girl taking me for
a ride on a carpet made of flowers high up in the sky you have
lived in a far away jungle in a house up on the mountain
surrounded by the bluest water there's an ocean breeze as the
moon rests in her eyes footsteps turn on the gold and her skins
so dark from the sunshine i have opened up your new life i will
give you everything you've got to put your time in me


10.Pete's Underwear

mwahahaha.... listen carefully


11.School

i'm going to tell you a story about what i did all day the
story's about my old school and there's not too much to say i
came from a school surrounded by fences the unbearable stench
dulling my senses walkie talkie ladies guared the grounds stupid
jocks and preppies ran all around i wrote my name on the
bathroom wall six teachers walked me down the hall the
principal's office is where i sat he beat me over the head with
a baseball bat got to get away glad i got away


12.Man In The Corner

you can laugh so hard that you cry the world won't hear you if
you call endless streets now you don't know where to go your
moving so fast yet still goin slow running your running right
down your endless streets i'm not too far behind you are you
trying up there what's there a lonely man i see sitting in the
corner of his broken dreams powered by the means that left him
restless stranded all alone wasted by the people not for
friendship losing on his own


13.Joy To The World
