SETTING FORTH
Lyrics/ Music: Ed Vedder
Be it, no concern
Point of no return
Go forward in reverse
This I will recall
Yeah, every time I fall
Ahh-oohhh setting forth in the universe
Ahh-oohhh setting forth in the universe
Out here, realigned
A planet out of sight
Nature drunk and high
Ahh-oohhh
Ahh-oohhh

NO CEILING
Lyrics/ Music: Ed Vedder
Comes the morning
When I can feel
That there's nothing left to be concealed
Moving on a scene surreal
No, my heart will never, will never be far from here
Sure as I am breathing
Sure as I'm sad
I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh
I leave here believing more than I had
And there's a reason I'll be, a reason I'll be back
As I walk the Hemisphere
I got my wish to up and disappear
I've been wounded, I've been healed
Now for landing I've been, for landing I've been cleared
Sure as I am breathing
Sure as I'm sad
I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh
I leave here believing more than I had
This love has got no ceiling

FAR BEHIND
Lyrics/ Music: Ed Vedder
Take leave the conscious mind
Found myself to be so inclined
Why sleep in discontent?
Oh, the price of companionship
My shadow runs with me
Underneath the big wide sun
My shadow comes with me as we leave it all
We leave it all far behind
Empty pockets will
Allow a greater sense of wealth
Why contain yourself like any other book on the shelf?
My shadow lays with me
Underneath the big wide sun
My shadow stays with me as we leave it all
We leave it all far behind
Subtle voices in the wind,
Hear the truth they're telling
A world begins where the road ends
Watch me leave it all behind
Far behind...

RISE
Lyrics/ Music: Ed Vedder
Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow
Gonna rise up
Burning black holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold
Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
Suddenly swallowed by signs
Lo and behold
Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole

LONG NIGHTS
Lyrics/ Music: Ed Vedder
Have no fear
For when I'm alone
I'll be better off than I was before
I've got this life
I'll be around to grow
Who I was before
I cannot recall
Long nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground
Ah...
I'll take this soul that's inside me now
Like a brand new friend
I'll forever know
I've got this life
And the will to show
I will always be better than before
Long nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground
Ah...

HARD SUN
Lyrics/ Music: Gordon Peterson (Indio)
When I walk beside her
I am the better man
When I look to leave her
I always stagger back again
Once I built an ivory tower
So I could worship from above
And when I climbed down to be set free
She took me in again
There's a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world
When she comes to greet me
She is mercy at my feet
When I see her (bitter) her charm
She just throws it back again
Once I dug an early grave
To find a better land
She just smiled and laughed at me
And took her blues back again
There's a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world
There's a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world
When I go to cross that river
She is comfort by my side
When I try to understand
She just opens up her hands
There's a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world
Once I stood to lose her
When I saw what I had done
Bound down and flew away the hours
Of her garden and her sun
So I tried to warn her
I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
And it's still coming down on me
{There's a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world} x6

END OF THE ROAD
Lyrics/ Music: Ed Vedder
I won't be the last
I won't be the first
To find a way to where the sky meets the earth
It's all right and all wrong
For me it begins at the end of the road
We come and go...

SOCIETY
Lyrics/ Music: Jerry Hannan
It's a mystery to me
We have a greed, with which we have agreed
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all, you won't be free
Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely, without me
When you want more than you have, you think you need
When you think more than you want, your thoughts begin to bleed
I think i need to find a bigger place
When you have more than you think, you need more space
Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely, without me
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely, without me
It's those thinking more less, less is more
But if less is more, how you keepin' score?
It means for every point you make your level drops
Kinda like you're startin' from the top
And you can't do that
Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely, without me
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely, without me
Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry, if i disagree
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely
Without me...

GUARANTEED
Lyrics/ Music: Ed Vedder
On bended knee is no way to be free
Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently
That all my destinations will accept the one that's me
So I can breathe...
Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
Got a mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes...
Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Owning me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you...
Everyone I come across, in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but I'm never what they thought
I've got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive...
Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead
Overhead...
Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed
