Lyrics


1. STARE

The lights are bright,
They make me sweat
They make me swim this
Night I won't forget
Then people scream,
What do they mean
And I think they like us,
Yes that's what it seems

Facing the open door,
What will he see,
This paper in hand,
And it's a contract I think
Now come and tell me,
While I'm soaring away
I wanna be a big one
Where everyone stares.
Now give it to me while
I'm soaring away
I wanna be a big one
Where everyone stares.

Just a blur of hands like a silhouette,
What do I do now, oh I forget
Those people scream,
I wish I knew what they mean,
I think they like us,
Yes that's what it seems

Facing the open door,
What will he see,
This paper in hand,
And it's a contract I think
Now come and tell me,
While I'm soaring away
I wanna be a big one
Where everyone stares.
Now give it to me while
I'm soaring away
I wanna be a big one
Where everyone stares.

Now come and tell me,
While I'm soaring away
I wanna be a big one
Where everyone stares.
Now give it to me while
I'm soaring away
I wanna be a big one
Where everyone stares.


2. IN THE SAND

To be down like when you chew me up
Drain me out like I'm not your bastard cup
You step your way and then I step mine
Nothing is gonna change this time
Can't you see all that I've done wrong

Screaming back at an empty space
Well take me out like a thought without a trace

How long will it take before you realize
It's not that hard to walk the sand
How long will it take before you realize
I finally found the part in the sand

Troublesome can make you very bad
Take for...the things that you never had
You say you need them ….
When they finally caught you
Oh you never tried
Can't you see all that I've done wrong
why can't you stay along
Screaming back at an empty space
Well take me out like a thought without a trace

How long will it take before you realize
It's not that hard to walk the sand
How long will it take before you realize
I finally found the part in the sand

How long will it take before you realize
It's not that hard to walk the sand
How long will it take before you realize
I finally found the part in the sand


3. WEATHERMAN

Who is he?
Why does he always comfort me?
He is my weatherman
And he lets me know what's wrong

Don't tell him your secrets
They haunt your burning soul
Your mind, your thoughts, your life
Turn to rain and cold yeah

Falling down is the skies
Said said, said said the weatherman (x4)

Have you had a jump (??) chance
One that brings you down
A feeling of uneasiness
It's in his mind ??? drown...

Falling down is the skies
Said said, said said the weatherman (x4)

And you will see what you mean to me (x4)

Falling down is the skies
Said said, said said the weatherman (x4)


4. CHRONIC

Well look around and what you
See is what you get
Well I'm going to start it off,
Get ready, get set

I've been walking thin lines
Since I don't know when
It's like I cracked the ice and
Now I'm falling in

Keep on choking, and I'm going to fly (x2)
Lay me down, lay me down to bed
With dreams a' crawling,
Crawling through our head
Then let it fly, let it go away
And if he dies, you know that he will stay

Thoughts go through my head
Like a freight train flying
Well I'm gonna give it all up,
I'm sick of trying (X2)

Keep on choking, I'm going to fly (x2)

Lay me down, lay me down to bed
With dreams a' crawling
Crawling through our head
Then let it fly, let it go away
And if he dies, you know that he will stay
There he is…

[Guitar Solo]

Lay me down, lay me down to bed,
With dreams a' crawling,
Crawling through our head
Let it fly, let it go away
And if he dies, you know that he will stay

He will stay….he will stay
Well if he dies you know that he will stay…


5. EDDIE

Sitting on the swing
Trying to relate to just anything
Wonder where it's at
Conversations of where it's at

Ohh yeah
Ohh yeah
People come and stare
Wondering who's really there
He smiles and says,
"I could've been one of them"

Oh Eddie, Eddie

He was something different
Oh well he never hurt no one
And I wonder if his father said
"Oh god, he's not my son"
And "Oh God, he's not my son"

Oh Eddie

He was all alone
Walked the streets
No place to call home
Fingers to his head
No one put him to his death

Ohh
Oh Eddie, Eddie

He was something different
But he never hurt no one
And I wonder if his father said
"Oh God, he's not my son"
And "Oh God, he's not my son"

Yeah, tell me something about him
'Cause music's his only prayer

He was something different
But he never hurt no one
And I wonder if his father said
"Oh God, he's not my son"

Oh now Eddie
Oh Eddie - yeah
Oh Eddie
Oh now Eddie

No Eddie you're not my son
No Eddie you're not my son
No Eddie you're not my son
No Eddie you're not my son

Eddie you're not my son...


6. SNATCH

All I see is legs, beyond control, or demand
And all I see is legs, and in
My eyes and in my hands
All I see is legs, moving up to the cheeks
All I see is legs, they make me ill and make me weak

[Chorus]
Don't cry baby, now what's the catch
What's that word, they call it snatch
Don't worry baby, it's not your fault
Just because it's a body that's so not you

And all I see is legs, then moving up to something sweet
And all I see is legs, and don't you think it would be neat?

[Chorus] (x3)

What's that word (x3)
They call him (x3)
Snatch (x3)


7. WAVE OF POPULAR FEELING

From anger to pleasure
From right to wrong
And all of these feelings
Still becomes a song
The sources of dooms
Entirely collide
We tell ourselves that
We can't run and hide

[Chorus]
We never know we're enabled
Please tell me something I don't know
About this sort of gentle healing
This wave of popular feeling
You never felt so good (x3)

From anger to pleasure
From right to wrong
And all of these feelings
Still becomes a song
The sources of dooms
Entirely collide
We tell ourselves that
We can't run and hide

So take me down to water
If I get too rough
That's when we sit down
And say we've had enough
There's something different here
That we never knew
This song, we're imageless
Just like you

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

You never felt so good (x4)
You never felt good,
You never felt so good


8. S.O.B.

I'm going to tell you a story
And I swear it's true
It's not about dressers and mirrors
It's not about you

It was a sunny day
I was running through the forest
The rain was pouring harder than ever
And that's when I, I lost hope

For this was a friend of mine
He made me pictures and posters
And if you're gonna be drinking wine
Please use the coasters

[Chorus]
Do you think that I tell a fib?
Well if you do I'm going to choke you in
Young man how could you prove me wrong
Cooped me up in your barn
Swallow me in your ashes
I think you need some answers

Well sweet Jane she lived down that road
We always used to visit her
And then she took me in this room
I should have known when I kissed her


9. POISON IVY

I scream your name
And I hear no answer
In these times of darkness
I'm crazy sober
Well I want this bad
When I'm through and through the pain
And I got this feelin'
I'll never see you again

Now someone please help me
Help me, be me
But I live for you
And I, I need you here with me
But don't leave me here
Take a look I'll be your man
I look around, all around
And it's you that's in my hand
Trust me (x5)

Well I feel like cryin' and dyin'
And it's no wonder
I gotta hold my friends I'm feelin'
Like I'm going under
Don't leave me here
Take a look, I'll be your man
I look around, all around
And it's you that's in my hand

Trust me

[Guitar Solo]

I'll take you to a place I've seen
You'll never come right back to me (x4)


10. ON THIS FLIGHT

Well his arm said you don't fuck with me
And what is left for me,
and what will ever be
And I'm sure that you don't know it,
But I'm sure that you see
I, I don't love you
I, I only love me

[Chorus]
Well in these times
It will be alright
Now I just wanna see
On this flight

Ready or not, yes,
Then here I come
You better slow me down
cause I'm like a loaded gun

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

I said I'm falling, behind (x4)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus] (x2)


11. GREEDY ROOM

Read me between the lines
There's not much to see
And I'm not feeling fine
I only take it in one certain way
I know what it's like to feel
The pain in what you mean
If I guess, guess I'm feeling,
Feeling coming out of me

Well I'll take from the giving and
Then give to the lesser kind
It's too bad you don't feel that way,
That's the way I'm going to put me and mine

[Chorus]
I don't want anymore than this
My head is spinning in a mess
Take me to the place I've never been
So I can let out my darkest greed
Ohh it's a greedy room

And fly me into cushion room
And witches flying on their brooms
Cranky blooded flies
You only want to see me where I lie

I'll give you a certain brood
Only one can see in a chestnut mood
……cannot remain
Things they haven't done just yet

[Chorus]

Well fly me into a board
Where no one sees an endless lie
I sat on a wall of different souls
Leaving brick and stone, and cheese and wine

[Chorus] (x2)
