Living Colour : The Chair in the Doorway

1. BURNED BRIDGES

Tossed my keys in the river
Now I can't go home again
Burned up my phone book
Now I have to make a real friend
Threw away my watch and wallet
Now I have no time to spend
Gave up my vices
To stop the voices
And now they're back again

Gonna strip it all away
Gonna strip it all away
Gonna strip it all away
Gonna strip it all away

Close my eyes
So I don't see things as they are
Stumbling in the darkness here
My life seems less bizarre
Can't shut my ears off
To the sounds of my own screams
No matter how i try
I can't escape my dreams

Gonna throw it all away
Gonna throw it all away
Gonna throw it all away
Gonna throw it all away

If I burned every bridge I crossed then
Would that mean that i was lost, yeah!
If I burned every bridge I crossed then
Would that mean that i was lost, yeah!
If I burned every bridge I crossed then
Would that mean that i was lost, yeah!
If I burned every bridge I crossed then
Would that mean that i was lost, yeah!
If I burned every bridge I crossed then
Would that mean that i was lost, yeah!

I've done things to myself
That I cannot forgive
I've given up everything
Just so that I could live
I searched the whole world over
For the thing I cannot find
No one cares about my thoughts
So I guess I'll lose my mind

I gave it all away
I gave it all away
I gave it all away
I gave it all away

I burned every bridge I crossed
And how I know I know I am
I burned every bridge I crossed
And how I know I know I am
I burned every bridge I crossed
And how I know I know I am
I burned every bridge I crossed
And how I know I know I am
I burned every bridge I crossed
And how I know I know I am


2. THE CHAIR

I am the role I play
Really who's to say
I'm not who I am
I wake up and I say
Who am I today?
What will be the plan
Everyday's the same
No need to explain

I'm going through the door
I'll be gone for sure

I'm trapped behind a door
A secret I ignore
The thing beneath the floor
Can't take it anymore
Something about me
Something you can't see
A wound that will not bleed
Too dumb and numb to feel

I'm going through the door
I'll be gone for sure

There's no place else but here
I'll give inside this fear
I'd like to get away
But then where would I stay
I wish I didn't care
This role's a perfect fit
To take me to nowhere
Then there is the chair


3. DECADANCE

In the ugliness of beauty
And when pretty is vicious
You thought you were a voyeur
But the irony is delicious

In the access of excess
The pigs are at the trough
You thought you had to fill
But enough is never enough

Feel the decadance
Feel the decadance
Feel the decadance

Enough is never enough

Young thrill seekers craving attention
Thought you were special
You never learned your lesson

Feel the decadance
Feel the decadance
Feel the decadance

Feel the decadance
Feel the decadance
Feel the decadance

Enough is never enough

Those that dare to question
Those that dare to dream
Buried alive in your shit
No one can hear you scream
In the belly of the beast
You stood tall
Didn't anybody tell you
All empires must fall

Feel the decadance
Feel the decadance
Feel the decadance

Enough is never enough

Decadance
Decadance
Yeah, the decadence


4. YOUNG MAN

I'm on my feet step aside man
Get out my way I got a mind of my own
Beat all the fears as a young man
Now that I'm grown I don't fear the unknown

When do I know that I haven't arrived
I never felt so far away
Where do you go when you're lost and you're lonely
I never felt so far away

I'm on my feet step aside man
Get out my way I got a mind of my own
Beat all the fears as a young man
Now that I'm grown I don't fear the unknown

How do you know when you take it too far
I never felt do far away
Who would you tell if you're secret's too heavy
I never felt so far away

Step to the right
Two times
Move left
Spin

We are marching in darkness
Dancing in darkness
Kiss the darkness

We are marching in darkness
Dancing in darkness
Kiss the darkness

We are marching in darkness
Dancing in darkness
Kiss the darkness

We are marching in darkness
Dancing in darkness
Kiss the darkness

I'm on my feet step aside man
Get out my way I got a mind of my own
Beat all the fears as a young man
Now that I'm grown I don't fear the unknown

What will happen when it all ends
I never felt so far away
Why do I never break when I bend
I never felt so far away
I never felt so far away
I never felt so far away
I never felt so far away
I never felt so far away

Step to the right
Move ahead
Clap one time
Parre thrust

Parre thrust


5. METHOD

Heaven is burning
No birds sing
Heaven is burning
It’s a silent spring

Party is over
The circus has left town
It’s the morning after
And you’re coming down
Down
Down

Hell is frozen
Crashing dreams
Cities imploding
Worlds unseen

There’s a method to the madness
Like there’s a reason to this rhyme
The ultimate weapon
The perfect crime

Take me by the hand
Don’t you know
The dammed don’t cry
I can get so low
That I am high

There’s a method to the madness
Like there’s a reason to this rhyme
The ultimate weapon
The perfect crime

There’s a method to the madness
Like there’s a reason to this rhyme
The ultimate weapon
The perfect crime


6. BEHIND THE SUN

Living behind the dark side of the sun
Everyone's here but nobody comes
Things are finished before they've begun
Life is beautiful behind the sun

You may see
You may care
We're still here
You're still there

Everyone's happy life is sweet
Parallel lines that never meet
It's cold and lonely but we still believe
The waters rise and no relief

You may see
You may care
We're still here
You're still there

If you come to help me you're wasting your time
But if your struggle is bound up with mine
And we've begun and from each one behind the sun

Promises made
But nothings done
Forgotten ones
Behind the sun

If you've come to help me
Promises made
You're wasting your time
But nothings done
But if your struggle
Forgotten ones
Is bound up with mine
Behind the sun
If you come to help me
Behind the sun
You're wasting your time
Behind the sun


7. BLESS THOSE (LITTLE ANNIE’S PRAYER)

Bless the butcher
And bless the baker
Accountants of bankers
Jazz men and boxes

Bless the bored
And bless the battered
The worn the torn
And the tattered

And those that can go either way
Those that can go either way
Those that can go either way
Those that can go either way

Either way
Either way
Either way
Either way

Bless the sculptor
Bless the destructor
Bless those who care
And those who can´t be bothered
Bless the jaded
And the joiners
Glamorous, dangerous
Formless and spineless

For those that can go either way
For those that can go either way
For those that can go either way
For those that can go either way

Either way
Either way
Either way
Either way

Either way
Either way
Either way
Either way

Bless the ad man
Bless the bad man
Bless the jester
And bless the lawyer

Bless the ruthless
Bless the restless
Bless the angler
Bless the legless

And those that can go either way
And those that can go either way
And those that can go either way
And those that can go either way

Either way
Either way
Either way
Either way
Those that can go either way


8. HARD TIMES

My head is on fire
Alone in the dark
The bad gives no comfort
I'm falling apart
My dreams have no answers
They're only the start

Don't you come to me with stories
About your hard times
You want me to feel sorry
You got your I got mine

What good in courage
When you're all by yourself
Would it be easier to be someone else

Don't you come to me with stories
About your hard times
You want me to feel sorry
You got your I got mine

There's no happy ending
Where things turn out fine
So stop all pretending
You got yours I got mine

There's no happiny ever after
There's no happiny ever

Don't you come to me with stories
About your hard times
You want me to feel sorry
You got your I got mine

There's no happy ending
Where things turn out fine
So stop all pretending
You got yours I got mine
I got mine


9. THAT’S WHAT YOU TAUGHT ME

Incrimination
And adoration
Disappointment
To adulation
The inquisition in your eyes
Makes me wonder why

But I don't regret a thing
That's what you taught me
Everything
No I don't regret a thing
That's what you gave me
Everything

Dath where is thy sting
I never knew what this yould bring

I chance upon a photograph
It was torn in half
The jagged edges made me mad
Then I had to laugh

No I don't regret a thing
That's what you taught me
Everything
No I don't regret a thing
That's what you gave me
Everything
Everything

I got a question for you
What did I teach you
I teach you

No I don't regret a thing
That's what you taught me
Everything
No I don't regret a thing
That's what you gave me
Everything
Everything
That's what you taught me
That's what you gave me
That's what you taught me
That's what you gave me


10. OUT OF MY MIND

Losing myself
Shedding my skin
Losing my faith
Absolved of sin

Wanted to be a king
'Cause I want everything
Now I got nothing

I thought I had control
I found I lost my soul
I can't get out this hole

Nobody knows
I'm all alone
Can't let it go
It won't leave me alone

Wanted to be a king
'Cause I want everything
Now I have nothing

I thought I had control
I found I lost my soul
I can't get out this hole

Chased by the shadows
That are darker than blue
Ego blocks the light
That used to shine through
Looking for a companion
To tell your tales to
I already have one shadow
I don't need two

I thought I had control
I found I lost my soul
I can't get out this hole

It's a bad time
To be out of your mind


11. NOT TOMORROW

Wild eyes
Dark skies
Nothing seems to matter

Women cry
People die
Our family is scattered
Maybe
I'm not like you
Today I look for thuth

Not tomorrow
Not tomorrow

Birds fly
No good-bye
Take my words from the earth

No more lies
From the other side
The four winds scatter
For years I seek your face
Save yourself
For your sake

Not tomorrow
Not tomorrow
