BRAIN
OF J.
Who's got the brain of JFK?
What's it mean to us
now?...yeah
Oh, it's sound insurance
But I can tell you,
this is no lie
The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieved {2X}
You, you've
been taught
Whipped into shape, now they got you in line
Stand behind the stripes
There will be order, so give it
a good mind
The whole world will be different soon
The
whole world will be relieved {2X}
And by name
The
name they gave me
The name I'm letting go
The whole
world will be different soon
The whole world will be
relieved {3X}
The whole world will be different soon, soon
FAITHFULL
Plaque on the wall says that no
one's slept here
It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not
been around
Or been stepped on
Whatever the notions, we
laced in our prayers
The man upstairs is used to all of this
noise
I'm through with screaming
And echoes nobody
hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
Like echoes nobody hears, it
goes, it goes, it goes
We're faithful, we all believe, we all
believe it {4X}
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it
goes, it goes {2X}
We're faithful, we all believe, we all
believe it {3X}
So faithful, we all believe, we all believe
it
M.Y.T.H. is...
Belief in the game controls that
keeps us in a box of fear
We never listen
Voice inside so
drowned out
Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing
And everything is you
Me you, you me, it's all related
What's a boy to do?
Just be darling and I will be too
Faithful to you
NO WAY
Here's a token
of my openness
Of my need to not disappear
How I'm
feeling, so revealing to me
I found my mind too clear
I
just need someone to be there for.. me
I just want someone to
be there for.. me
All the static in my attic-a
Shoots
down my side nerve
To the ocean of my platitudes
Longitudes,
latitudes, it's so absurd
I just need someone to be there
for..
I just want someone to be there for..
Someone to be
there for..
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to
make a difference
No way {2X}
Ooh, let's call in an
angel {3X}
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to
make a difference
No way
'Cause I'll stop trying to make
a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'm not
trying to make a difference
No way
No way, no way
Let's
call in an angel
Who's calling an angel?
GIVEN
TO FLY
He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor,
waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds
of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The
wind rose up, set him down on his knee
A wave came
crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey,
look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying
Whole...
High..
wide, oh
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But
first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless
men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives
his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the
love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in
the sky
A human being that was given to fly
High..
flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He's...flying
Oh, oh
WISHLIST
I wish I was a
neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a
sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a
sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I
was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I
wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open
toward the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who
waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish
I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood
I wish I
was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir
you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that
you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never
let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you
turned up
I wish...I wish...I wish...I wish...
I guess it
never stops
PILATE
Talk of circles and
punching out
Looking in, drawing circles down
Falling up
the south marking ground
Talking out of turn, drawing circles
down
Like Pilate, I have a dog {3X}
{Obeys, listens,
kisses, loves}
Walks me out of town
Still, one's a
crowd
Making angels in the dirt
Looking up, looking all
around
Like Pilate, I have a dog {2X}
{Obeys,
listens, kisses, loves}
Stunned by my own reflection
It's looking back, sees me too clearly
And I swore I'd
never go there again
Not unlike a friend that politely drags
you down, you down, you down
Like Pilate, I have a dog
{4X}
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves}
DO THE
EVOLUTION
Woo..
I'm ahead, I'm a man
I'm the first
mammal to wear pants, yeah
I'm at peace with my lust
I
can kill 'cause in God I trust, yeah
It's evolution, baby
I'm a beast, I'm the man
Buying stocks on the day of
the crash
On the loose, I'm a truck
All the rolling
hills, I'll flatten' em out, yeah
It's herd behavior, uh huh
It's evolution, baby
Admire me, admire my home
Admire my song, here's my coat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This land is mine, this land is free
I'll do what I want
but irresponsibly
It's evolution, baby
I'm a thief,
I'm a liar
There's my church, I sing in the choir:
{hallelujah...hallelujah...}
Admire me, admire my
home
Admire my song, admire my clothes
'Cause we know,
appetite for a nightly feast
Those ignorant Indians got
nothin' on me
Nothin', why?
Because, it's evolution,
baby!
I am ahead, I am advanced
I am the first mammal
to make plans, yeah
I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher
Twenty-ten, watch it go to fire
It's evolution, baby {2X}
Do the evolution
Come on, come on, come on
THE
COLOR RED
War I'm crazy
War I'm crazy I'm war {6X}
MFC [Many Fast Cars]
Sliding out of
reverse into drive, this...
Wheel will be turning right, then
straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride
She can remember a
time denied, stood by...
Side of the road, spilled like wine,
now...
She's out on her own and line high
There's no
leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
She's disappeared
They
said timing was everything, made him...
Want to be
everywhere, there's a...
Lot to be said for nowhere
There's
no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
We've disappeared
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
Fuck it,
we'll disappear
LOW LIGHT
Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind
blows by, low light
Side-tracked, low light
Can't see my
tracks, your scent-way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and
jealousy tell me wrong
All I feel, calm
Voice blows by,
low light
Car crash, low light
Can't wear my mask, your
first, my last
Voice goes by
Two birds is what
they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by,
low light
Eye sight, low light
I need the light
I'll
find my way from wrong, what's real?
The dream I see
IN
HIDING
I shut and locked the front door
No way in or
out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the
curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club
around
But nothing's sound, nothing's sound
I'd stay
but my last cab left me
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was
seeing visions and cracks along the walls
They were upside
down
I swallow my words to keep from lying
I swallow
my face just to keep from biting, I, I..
I swallowed my
breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when
all of my pen wasn't writing
I'm in hiding {4X}
It's
been about three days now
Since I've been aground
No
longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
It's funny when
things change so much
It's all state of mind
I
swallowed my words to keep from lying
I swallowed my face
just to keep from biting I, I...
I swallowed my breath and
went deep, I was diving, I was diving
I surfaced and all
around me was enlightened
Now I'm in hiding {8X}
PUSH
ME, PULL ME
I had a false belief
I thought I came
here to stay
We're all just visiting
All just breaking
like waves
The oceans made me, but who came up with love?
Push me, pull me, push me, or pull me out
Push me, pull
me, or pull me out {2X}
So if there were no angels, would
there be no sin?
You better stop me before I begin
But
let me say: if I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in the
ground
Somewhere nice, make it nice
Where the land meets
high tide
Push me, pull me, or pull me out
Push me, pull
me... {2X}
Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding
all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
I'm
like an opening band for the sun
Push me, pull me {6X}
I've
had enough, said enough, felt enough, I'm fine, still in it...
ALL THOSE YESTERDAYS
Don't you think you
oughtta rest?
Don't you think you oughtta lay you head down?
Don't you think you want to sleep?
Don't you think you
oughtta lay your head down tonight?
Don't you think
you've done enough?
Oh, don't you think you've got enough,
well maybe..
You don't think there's time to stop
There's
time enough for you to lay your head down, tonight, tonight
Let
it wash away
All those yesterdays
What are you
running from?
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to
call your own
So no one catches you? drifting off and
Doing
all the things that we all do
Let them wash away
All
those yesterdays
All those yesterdays
All those paper
plates
You've got time, you've got time to escape
There's still time, it's no crime to escape
It's no crime
to escape, it's no crime to escape
There's still time, so
escape
It's no crime, crime..
All those yesterdays
{9X}
