1.Neda
I held my head in my hands and I trembled
The cries from the crowd and the girl in the camera
I said in a prayer, a kind of surrender
I wished her peace, wondered what she rendered
Neda, you made a place for the innocents
A prayer for the dissidents, afraid I gave up
I never thought the world could be so small
And the loss of your innocence wasn't enough, I guess
The cost of what you're holding in wasn't everything
All the leaders say, 'They'll forget someday'
But what you'd live to see would take their breath away
These ragged smoldering lines and these embers
The cries in the night to say they remember the face of a girl
Who faithful and tender, wanted only peace and not to surrender
Neda, your mother can't cry for your memory
Or mourn for the tragedy, they tore your grave up
I never thought the world could be so small
And the loss of your innocence wasn't enough, I guess
The cost of what you're holding in wasn't everything
All the leaders say, 'They'll forget someday'
But what you'd live to see would take their breath away
And the flowers on your grave？
And the things you gave away were another kind that day
And the flowers on your grave
And the loss of your innocence wasn't enough, I guess
The cost of what you're holding in wasn't everything
But all the people say, 'We won't forget the day
And what you lived to see takes our breath away'
Neda, you made a place for the innocents
A place for the dissidents, we nearly gave up
I never thought the world could be so small
2.Tokyo Radio
All these radio towers, the clouds, the sky
I watched them fall through the back of my mind
Ten thousand miles away from home
And the DJ shakes me in my seat
'I'm sorry we haven't slept in weeks
Just to wake and dream, I bet
I could use a little laugh'
And I finish my songs and the DJ screams
And I stare at the ground and I tune my strings
I got three days to the show
I got nowhere else to go
And the battles that I wage so goddamn polite
I was thinking of jumping from my room last night
I got one more year to live
I got nothing else to give
Hello from Tokyo
3.The Kids Are Ready to Die (Alternate Mix)
All these inanimate places feel like they're changing.
The kids all lined up on the wall like they're ready to die.
These arms are sending, (？) it's like they just rearrange them.
We were caged up like animals and questioned and ready to cry!
'Cause I was just 13 when I got my first taste of danger.
I was standing by the church, I had a bottle and a pen in my
hand.
Oh I said 'father, I'm sorry, I just don't know what to do with
this anger.
This behavior is collectible, I know this wasn't part of your
plan.'
But little fucks like us, we were always receiving instruction.
You could burn off clothes, you could wash out the ink and the
dye
But you can't look me in the eye and say you don't feel like a
little destruction.
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die.
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die.
All these days just seem like they're getting longer.
The view from our room is a gloomy and overcast grey.
The weakness we left behind seems to be getting stronger.
I swear there's something in the air, and I don't know what
anyone could say.
'Cause I saw the news this morning, there was another
Boy by the side of the road, he had a gun in his hand.
I thought 'What could you say to make it ever make sense to his
mother？
'Oh ma'am, he was excitable, we were just trying to make him a
man.''
But the day will come when it falls like a cheap house of
plastic.
And the cards we were dealt, tossed like a storm in the sky.
'Cause you can only lie for so long before you get something
drastic
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die.
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die.
4.Parson Redheads
Sometimes the people that you meet in your life can seem
Just like characters that populate some quiet childhood dream.
It's so easy to get caught up in just one poetic line,
While the Parsons have their cross to bare,
I know I've got mine.
And it's a quiet night in Silver Lake, all the people crowd this
scene.
Well they look so much like cardboard cut-outs placed upon a
screen,
And I feel this sinking feeling as Missy grabs my hand,
And we lose ourselves in the harmonies, the white-robed beauty
of this band.
(Aaaahh Ooooohhh...)
And the singers all cry as she whispers in my ear,
and I stare down at the ground, holding tightly to my beer,
Do you feel the strain between us, yeah I know I feel it too,
And I wish I believed in anything as much as the Parson Redheads
do.
I wish I believed in anything as much as the Parson Redheads do.
5.Halie
Haile, I've been wonderin' lately
If you ever thought about maybe
Spendin' some time here
YOu know me
How those days are so lonely
And everyone just tells you
What they think you want to hear
Hey ey ey Oh e Oh e Oh
I can barely think about anything at all
I wonder if you ？
Hey ey ey Oh e Oh e Oh
I forgot the music ？
Just tell me, how am I supposed to feel
Haile, You think that you can just save me
The trouble of trying to think clearly
When I only want to drown
And these problems
I never know how to solve them
I only know how to say them
And keep my head down
Hey ey ey Oh e Oh e Oh
I can barely think about anything at all
I wonder if you ？
Hey ey ey Oh e Oh e Oh
I forgot the music ？
Just tell me, how am I supposed to feel
Hey ey ey Oh e Oh e Oh
I can barely think about anything at all
I wonder if you ？
Hey ey ey Oh e Oh e Oh
I forgot the music ？
Just tell me, how am I supposed to feel
Hey ey ey Oh e Oh e Oh
I can barely think about anything at all
I wonder if you ？
Hey ey ey Oh e Oh e Oh
I forgot the music ？
Just tell me, how am I supposed to feel
6.Changing (Single)
All these buckets of rain＊
I've heard enough about.
You say that I lied.
I am a gentleman didn't I ask for a place I could stay？
What were we both thinking？
The next part just got in the way.
You were just always talking about changing.
What if I was the same then,the same I always was？
All these things that you say,
Like I'll forget about
The mind-numbing games that you play.
I am a gentleman,
Didn't I pay for every laugh every dime,
Every bit every time and then you feed me some line.
I won't hear one more word about changing.
Guess what I am the same man,
Same that I've always been.
Days pass and turn into weeks,
When we don't even speak.
We just lay wide awake and pretend we're asleep.
You go home alone and you're checking your phone
And you're looking at me like I'm something you own.
All these buckets of rain,
you can't forget about it,
you say I never tried.
I am a gentleman,
didn't I answer every time that you call,
pick you up when you fall
but you never listen at all
You were just always talking about changing.
Guess what I am the same man.
