Down at the switchboard of the old tell n' tale

minding the back of the store for 30 years or more
Hey val do you remember that girl back in '72?

then she moved the whole family way back to idaho

Riding on any wave,
That is the luck you crave,
They don't believe it now,
They just think it's stupid,
So got anything?
Anyone could have done,
Who would've cared at all,
not you.
Another heart has made the trade,
Forget it, forget it, forget it,
I don't understand how a heart is a spade,
But somehow the vital connection is made.
Riding on anything,
Anything's good enough,
Who would've thought it of
Someone like you,
Just as they brought me round,
Now that they brought you down,
Roundabout and roundabout
Who wants a life anyway?
Another heart has made the grade,
Forget it, forget it, forget it,
I don't understand how the last card is played,
But somehow the vital connection is made.
I had the balls to ask you to a movie it was il postino we both thought it was good I was sick and then you took me home and you kept calling me I kinda knew that you would and you seemed to like my company and I knew I liked yours you know I never fantasized you opened up my mind you opened up my pores
With you I feel I have a connection
With you I have a sweet understanding of you
You invited me to see los jaguares and you took me out for a glass of red wine told me all about your mischievous childhood I thought 'I like the way we spend time' and I think I could see us together sort of permanently I thought you felt the same but I wasn't sure 'cause you seemed shy to me
With you I feel
I have a connection
With you I have a sweet understanding of you
Like teeth in a zipper that's how locked we are
Like food in a blender that's how whipped we are
Like subway riders that's how close we are
Like corset fibers that's how tight we are
We moved in together kinda quickly told ourselves it was because our roommates were from hell (but they really were from hell - oh my god) anyway it was in love that I think I fell I wasn't nervous in the least even though everybody kept questioning me you can imagine what they thought when I asked you four months later if you'd marry me
With you I feel I have a connection
With you I have a sweet understanding
Of you I feel I have a connection
With you I have a sweet understanding of you
Unused lyrics at beginning of lyric sheet:
Warm 'round the hunting fire
Wrapped in the robes of the dead warrior
Protected from ferocious winds
Under the shield of the dead gladiator
Standing in the darkness of this stagecraft
All is black I cannot see your faces I need
Light I want to see your eyes
Let my voice wash over your faces
Connection
Connection
Whoaa ohhh
A hundred thousand years ago
People livin' in bone white cities
Comin' and goin' on streets of silver
Talkin' future history
Then something very strong went wrong
And suddenly
People gathered round the hunting fires
(Huddled in caves like animal, not human)
Round the warmth of the late night fire
Cities gone, memories fading
Spend their lives round the late night fire
Give their souls to the hunting fire
Seeking each other's company
Tryin' to remember ancient history
They lost connection
They lost contact
They need to touch you
Reach out across the ages and touch you
Meanwhile somewhere in the 20th century
A young girl named Phoebe Caulfield
Plops herself down on the sofa
Pops open a soda and watches you
She likes to watch murderer talk
She likes to see them on my TV
She likes to watch them how they walk
She likes to hear what they say
It's like a car crash
Bloody fascination
You wonder how they get their shoes tied
Sit and stare at the horror there
She knows you watch them too
Stranglers, murderers, snipers, terrorists
Political assassins, crazy ones, cool ones
All them looking for
Connection
They lost contact
They lost direction
They need sexual, mystical
Magical, uninterrupted, Peter Gabriel like
Contact
Here I am
Again inside
This darkness
All is black
I cannot see your future
Give me light
I want to see your eyes
Just a little light
Inside your future
A small connection
Connection
Ah!!!!
I'd like to see Jesus and Mohammad
On the road to Damascus
What did you think they would say
Would they fight with knives clenched in their teeth
Like Jews and Arabs today
Or would they walk and speak
Like philosophers and thinkers
Amused at each other's insights
Relishing the brain waves there
Round the warmth of the hunting fire
Eager for, hungry for
They got to have
You know they love
Connection
Contact
Communion
And let our two great religions
Cease their senseless struggle
It only hurts the children
Connection
Connection
Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.
Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go.
Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.
My bags, they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em
They're dying to add me to their collection
And I don't know if they'll let me go.
Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.
Woooooo

Why are you searching for another lover?
Why don't you give me some respect?
I want to strong, sensitive guy
I want him brow, but ever so shy
A gentleman with dignity
If you don't get this, it ain't you
I want to boy to make me feel fine
With a little look in his eye
Gotta give as good as you get
If you want to start with it
You gotta be appealing
You gotta do it right
If you can't say you love me
We can't unite
Why are you searching for another lover?
Why don't you give me some respect?
When will we just learn to like each other?
Why don't we learn how to connect?
I want to guy in which to confide
There to tell my secrets and lies
I want to boy who's genuine too
If it ain't your style then it ain't you
I never meant to be so tough
But I guess I'm gonna find the perfect love
Listen to the lines I sing
Or I won't give you anything
You gotta be appealing
You gotta do it right
If you can't say you love me
We can't unite
Why are you searching for another lover?
Why don't you give me some respect?
When will we just learn to like each other?
Why don't we learn how to connect?
Slow it down
Leave the body and the mind
Slow it down
Come and see what you find
(Ooh)
Slow it down
(Ooh)
Leave the body and the mind
(Ooh)
Slow it down
(Ooh)
Come on and see what you find
You gotta be appealing
You gotta do it right
If you can't say you love me
We can't unite
Why are you searching for another lover?
Why don't you give me some respect?
When will we just learn to like each other?
Why don't we learn how to connect?
Follow down the path
It leads to a circle of houses,
Where foreigners are not well thought
And strangers unwelcome to their affairs!
The villagers (so they said) do heathen rituals
\"Just for a while
Look through the chimney stack
Through the mist, aren't you afeared?
Ajar are the doors
A smell of rotten woods
In the mud, aren't you afraid?\"
[Solo: Jarpen]
Hidden by the clouds
A pallid sun on a November day
An expedition organised
To go and see what's going on
The villagers (none of them) weren't seen in town for weeks
To get provisions as they used to...
\"Just for a while
Look through the chimney stack
Through the mist, aren't you afeared?
Ajar are the doors
A smell of rotten woods
In the mud, aren't you afraid?\"
Hearsay called him the 14th, was never born, he's always been
The sins to expiate in front of him, will be the
worst part of your dreams!
(Someone said it is a magic place!)
[Chorus:]
Through the hazy heights, two leagues from Avhon,
Among the heart of brushwood, aloof from the glances
Lies a village, built on a clearing
Thirteen houses, aligned maliciously, and a mansion on a hill
That mournful light in (the) ground floor window is always lit!
As they reached the hamlet on the hill
They found nobody at all! (was anybody there?)
Faint light in the house (where have they gone?)
Would they dare to go inside (to go inside)
When they all returned back home
They told of uncanny things
When they all returned back home
Inside (knock, knock) their souls something's hopelessly gone!
Jesp Van Cleave, the first found dead, drowned in the stream
While we was having a bath, \"A terrible misfortune,
Was an incredible and fatal accident!\"
Ichabold De le Fournier, son of the Major, was the second one,
His horse fell on top of him, the wounds were too serious to be cured.
One by one the thirteen died, all those who
had been to that village faced the unknown One!
One was hanged, the other choked, little by little
all the townsmen understood
The Conjuring of the 14th was gliding in the mazes of their lives
Thirteen souls to replace the old, the evil lifeblood will
flow in the shadows of their bodies
Hearsay called him the 14th, was never born, he's always been
The sins to expiate in front of him, will be the worst part
of your dreams!
(Someone said it is a magic place!)
[Chorus:]
Through the hazy heights, two leagues from Avhon,
Among the heart of brushwood, aloof from the glances
Lies a village, built on a clearing
When they went back to the village then, thirteen houses occupied
Thirteen new inhabitants, whom does he look like?
Thirteen houses, aligned maliciously, and a mansion on a hill
That mournful light in (the) ground floor window will be always lit!
Conclude with error, idiosycratic deeds
Synthetic habitat
Comprehension. Consciousness. All senses are astray
Infected selfish greed
Unpleasant frame of mind,
reflections of what's behind
Wisdom breeds fragile minds
Wake from his fantasy. Fear mendacious empathy
Ecstatic biased sphere
We are the plaintive race, constructors of predestined decay
A paragon fails
Force of fiction, faking formula of faith
A chameleon with words
Uncertain factors feed a mind so crystal clear
When will this circle end?
Mankind falls from what it breeds
Cast reflections on it's ego's path
Altered minds in altered settings, twisted mind
Collapse into intensity, understand the face of man
Everlasting hunt for truth,
blinded by different views
See through obstructive haze,
and cleanse the human race!
Mankind falls from what it breeds
Conjuring collapse with this ego's path
Altered minds in altered settings made by man
Collapse into intensity. Aftermath of thinking man
(dulli/mccollum/curley/earle)
I smell your blood, my love
but i can't taste it yet
i have your mind, my love
but i can't waste it yet
please understand my love
i find this sickening
my head is ice my love
my skin is thickening
but oh! my love
we could still be friends
and oh! my love
with me you must contend
i'm gonna turn on you before you turn on me
i'm gonna turn on you can you conjure me?
and walk the mile into this web of my conspiracy
i'm gonna turn on you before you turn on me
i'm in a hole
but i don't feel the safety net
i have your soul
but i am wasting it
but oh! my love
we could still be friends
and oh! my love
with me you must contend
(dulli/mccollum)
I walk around with this all over me
i cannot wash it clean
you've got the ball
you've got the ball i'm taking it from you
and today
it's in the blood
i left it in the blood you see
so put the words together
i'll be with you forever
get up
we'll rise
they'll pay
and wait until tomorrow night
i can't recall yet if i'm black
or if i'm white or wrong
or if i'm white or wrong
i am your creator
come with me my congregation
get up i'll smack you back down
get up
we'll rise
they'll pay
get up i'll smack you back down
you will become my diamond
i'm yours and you are mine
get up
we'll rise
they'll pay
Born in the casket of society's decay
On your knees to be rewarded with strife
Born in the casket of society's decay
On your knees to be rewarded with strife
Grim obsession with the afterlife
Unification of the magical ones
Congregation in the far off skies
Conformist slaves, trapped in earth's cage
Grave acceptance of plastic lies
Conformist slaves, trapped in earth's cage
Grave acceptance of plastic lies
In the church of your brains demise
Unification of the magical ones
Congregation in the far off skies
Bone made chariot, carry this lost soul
Past the stars beyond lampblack skies
Bone made chariot, carry this lost soul
Past the stars beyond lampblack skies
To where the sorcerers of life we'll find
Unification of the magical ones
Congregation in far off skies
Girl, where's your head full of lead?
can't you see what you're doing to me?
wipe that disgrace off your face
look and see what you've done to me
Girl, you look bored
i wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
so what's the deal?
don't you feel what i'm dealing with?
but it's alright
Girl, come on now, i'll show you how to deal with this.
but not tonight.
Girl, you look bored
i wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
hold me so close
i can tell you have the best intentions, one of those simple inventions
never a dull situation, we could just stay on vacation
Never start an argument with you
something i won't do
Girl, you look bored
i wish everything about the danger wouldn't make you such a stranger
hold me so close
i can tell you have the best intentions, one of those simple inventions
now that i have your attention
Congratulations!
Oh, seems like you've done it again,
And
I ain't had such misery since
I don't know when,
Oh, and I don't know when,
Oh, and I don't know when.
I notice so many people slippin' away,
And many more waiting in the lines
In the courtrooms today,
Oh, in the courtrooms today.
Love is not a game,
Love is not a toy,
Love's no romance.
Love will do you in, and love will wash you out,
And needless to say you won't stand a chance,
And you won't stand a chance.
I'm hungry for learnin',
Won't you answer me, please.
Can a man and a woman live together in peace,
Oh, live together in peace?
He's coming round tonight
Catching the train out
Started work today
It's no fun but it pays
One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
S'posed to leave at eight
But the sitters late
Times run out to go
To that Even show
One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
He could never hurt you
But it's so much to get involved
I drowned in glory to tell this story
Of self denial and choices final
He was there for you
When your ex shot through
But can you really count
On him sticking round?
One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
He could never hurt you
But it's so much to get involved
I drowned in glory to tell this story
Of self denial and choices final
Can't change what happened my youths been shattered
Now can I really bring him down with me
He can't play father to your son
When he's eighteen years young!
I drowned in glory to tell this story
Of self denial and choices final
Can't change what happened my youth's been shattered
Now can I really bring him down with me.
You kiss your life goodbye like lovers in the night, returning home alone
as if you suffered a heart attack under the weight of the world nearly broke your back
it was written on your face; i can see it on your face
Congratulations today's another day
it's coming crashing down to break you again
congratulations you can change sometimes
when lying on your back you can learn to breathe again
Black out your bitterness, forget your jaded biz, your shadow falls on me
you blame it all on a mutiny when everybody around you always seems so free
i can see it in your eyes, its burning in your eyes
Congratulations today's another day
it's coming crashing down to break you again
congratulations you can change sometimes
when lying on your back you can learn to breathe again
Nothing left to lose, there's nothing left to lose
nothing left to lose, there's nothing left to lose
Congratulations, you have have another day
it's coming crashing down to break you again
congratulations you can change sometimes
when lying on your back you can learn to breathe again
There's nothing left to lose
(dave gibson, patti stephens)
Congratulations
you made a fool out of me
i hope you're happy
so now just let me be
I might be slow to lovers
but i catch on eventually
congratulations
you made a fool out of me
Anticipation
you kept me waiting in line
your situation did not allow you time
so i'd sit home alone
pretending someday you'd be mine
congratulations
you made a fool of me this time
Then he played it smart
you stole my heart
and tore my world apart
guess you always knew
i'd be the perfect fool
congratulations baby
you win, i lose
Imagination
the way i dreamed it could be
ooo, the sweetest sensation
of how you made love to me
but now the vision's gone
it's time to face reality
congratulations
you made a fool out of me
congratulations
you made a fool out of me
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Congratulations
Congratulations
Well done, my friend
You've done it again
You've gone and broken another heart
Yeah, you've torn it apart
You've done it before
Hope to do it some more
You've got it down to a fine art
Remember the first time
You tried to do it to me
My girl won't fall
Just wait and see
Just wait and see
Congratulations
Congratulations
You've gone and broken another heart
Yeah, you've torn it apart
La la, la la la, la la la la (congratulations)
You say that I put chains on you
But I don't think that's really true
But if you want to be free from me
You gotta lose me in another world
Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo you have to believe
You can do it if you want to just do what you please
Like a soldier ant
I will wait for the signal to act
To take a walk right through the door
If you don't want me here any more
Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo you have to believe
You can do it if you want to just do what you please
Into my heart you came
And gave a whole new meaning to my life
Into my world you brought a light
I thought it never would go out
Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo you have to believe
You can do it if you want to just do what you please
You can send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Yes you can send me to the Congo, you have to believe
You can do it if you want to just do what you please
I would never be the one to say you had no reason
To want me somewhere else far far away
But someday you may understand, someday you will see
That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been
Congo the Congo, if that's how it's got to be
Congo the Congo, if that's what you want from me
I would never be the one to say you had no reason
To want me somewhere else far far away
Someday you may understand someday you will see...

I lost my mind a couple of gals ago
I left behind, never saw it go
Just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
I took the time a couple of days ago
To cross my mind, the only thing I know
Just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
I drove too fast, hit the brakes too soon
I broke my wheels, blew my afternoon
There's just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
I took the time, they never saw it go
I left behind the only thing I know
Just a little bit of snow out on the leaves
Just confusion drifting swirling to my knees
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
Blue wind drift on
Blow through till the dust is gone
Gone, confusion fog
It's funny how it tears me apart
first it breaks your head then your heart
i should've loved you better
from the start
it's chewin' at my bones and my brains
it's workin' through the flesh that remains
why can't this feelin' leave me
and just fade away?
From day one i led you on
i'm sorry girl, but i can't stay
things have changed, they're not the same
now i must walk the other way
Confusion raining down from up high
and all the time you ask yourself 'why?'
why can't you make decisions
can't make up your mind
Although you're trying hard to forget
the reason why you feel so misled
now come on and forgive me
i'll help you accept
From day one i led you on
i'm sorry girl, but i can't stay
things have changed, they're not the same
now i must walk the other way
From day one i led you on
i'm sorry girl, but i can't stay
things have changed, they're not the same
now i must walk the other way... home
I am the Angel
you are the hands that grab me
I am forgotten
and you are alone
justification-
perfect stimulation
make me a treasure...
make me a gun
I am the mountain
that watches the valley
pretending the answer
lies under my thumb
I am your secret
that makes you feel stronger
that makes you act colder
when I'm around
I am the Angel
you are the hatred
that has sipped my blood
and broken my wing
I am forgotten
but you are forgiven
still I long for the sleep
that never comes to me
I am empty...
I am cold...
I am cold...
False eyes are staring
Disrespectfully and untrue
The burden that we are carrying
Is way too much for me and you
Sometimes it is better to lay
Don't you think?
I'm evaporating
A veil of smoke is what I am
Your thoughts will take on their way
To grow old and to be certain
Sometimes it is better to lay
Don't you think?
(oww)
you tellin' me,
your not the one,
i'm tellin' you,
you are
I want you girl,
but you won't come,
what on earth,
is wrong?
(chorus)
confusions hit me,
i said confusions hit me,
girl i want you,
by my side
(repeat)
You've proved yourself,
hard to get,
i ain't givin' up,
so quick
In love with you,
what can i do,
c'mon girl,
be mine
I don't get you,
you con-fus-ing,
but still you blow,
my mind
(chorus x2)
I'm so confused now babe, (oww)
so confused,
i'm so confused now girl,
so so so confused
(chorus x3, fading until end)
It seems so hard for me
to look back and remember
all the times we shared with each other and now
the times have changed
on one or another
why can't it be the way it's supposed to be?
i see, the way it's supposed to be
now you're so confused
i want to help you find the truth
everyday i sit by myself
look back and remember
all the times we spent with each other
and now the times have changed
but not for the better
why can't you be the way that you use to be?
he has shown you a light
that will last forever
but you threw it aside like it was not there
your mind has changed
but not for the better
why can't you be the way that you use to be?
mistakes are made
they're in the past
it's time to change
in time it's coming near
mistakes are made
they're in the past
it's time to change
on your own
Confusion
Confusion
Confusion
Confusion
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
Confusion
Confusion
Confusion
Confusion
W-W-W-R-L
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You're hiding from feelings, searching for more
Sharing and hoping, untouched for so long
Our lives still change from the way that we were
And now I'll tell you something I think you should know
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
Confusion
Confusion
Confusion
You cause me confusion, you told me you cared
He's calling these changes that last to the end
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
The past is your present, the future is mine
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see
You tell me you need me, I'll make it this time
The thread won't divide us, the sensation survives
I was sure that I told you it was good from the face
You've caused me some problems, you've taken my place
Why can't you see what you mean to me?
Why can't you see, why can't you see, why can't you see what you mean to me
Why can't you see, why can't you see, why can't you see what you mean to me
Why can't you see what you mean to me
There's no time to give at all
I cause you grief and blow my hatred
Further in your mind
You reach, I run, you fall
On skinned knees you crawl
I want to set you free, recognize my disease
Love, sex, pain, confusion, suffering
You're there crying, I feel not a thing
Drilling my way deeper in your head
Sinking, draining, drowning, bleeding, dead
So you sit and think of love
I wait, hate all the more, I fall
On skinned knees I crawl
I want to set you free, recognize my disease
Love, sex, pain, confusion, suffering
You're there crying, I feel not a thing
Drilling my way deeper in your head
Sinking, draining, drowning, bleeding, dead
Now there's time to give it all
I put my fears behind again
On skinned knees we'll crawl
I want to set you free, recognize my disease
Love, sex, pain, confusion, suffering
You're there crying, I feel not a thing
Drilling my way deeper in your head
Sinking, draining, drowning, bleeding, dead
Love, sex, pain, confusion, suffering
Everywhere the sun is shining.
All around the world it's shining.
But cold winds blow across your mind.
Confusion--it's such a terrible shame.
Confusion--you don't know what you're sayin'.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.
Every night you're out there darlin'.
You're always out there runnin'.
And I see that lost look in your eyes.
Confusion,I don't know what I should do.
Confusion,I leave it all up to you.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.
Dark is the road you wander.
And as you stand there under.
The starry sky,you feel sad inside.
Confusion,you know it's drivin' me wild.
Confusion,it comes as no big surprise.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.
\"Why don't you go to school? You need to
grow up.\"
They're so inatuated like growing up is something
you shoot up
Some girls my age they want to have a baby
Some of them want to get married... they're fucking crazy
We gotta fight, fight, fight
Fight for our youth
Confused youth
Adults like to bring us up to be and act like them
If we don't act alike discard and try again
There is no room deep in their eyes for an individual
\"Conform\" and \"Stand in line\" make sure you fit the mold
It's alright to grow old, to mature and become wise
too bad all they seem to want is to die in ignorance
\"Straighten your back, straighten your face and lose your grin\"
\"It's time to be serious, think hard but always give in\"
\"You are the inferior, open your eyes and close your mouth\"
\"Grow up to be just like me watch and follow with no doubt\"
Train children like a dog
\"Try not to get in the way\"
\"When I talk you should obey\"
\"Try not to get in the way\"
It's not a war
What are you fighting for?
Life's not a war
There's no need to conform
We need help but not everyday
There's no need to, no need to use force
We need help but not in every single way
We don't need utter control
\"Why don't you go to school? You need to grow up\"
Like growing up is something that you just shoot up
All of us we'd run away, but where would we go?
Just loosen your grip on our leash you don't have to let go
We gotta fight, fight, fight
Fight for our youth
Confused youth
Red light, green light
Red light, green light
Red light, green light

Passion is dead
Computer said
We capture fire
Karma has died
Violence kills the innocent
A modern youth
A common truth
Passion dies
A silent souls
Governments they take control
Extra terrestrial behaviour
In my own backyard
The television always lies
The camera blinds my eyes
A.R.T.
Confused art
Confused art

Red light, green light
Red light, green light
Passion's a crime
Money's alive
Try and forget
Karma is dead
Politicians always lie
They cover truth to rule our lives
Passion dies
Silent souls
Governments they take control
Extra terrestrial behaviour
In my own backyard
The television always lies
The camera blinds my eyes

I was tanding at the fireplace thinking of my own desire which seemed to
offer me no place to go, when i heard a little giggle, sounding like some
silly piglets playing in the mud so deep and warm. so i went and looked
around and fromhe bathroom door i found some sounds that had not come
fromhere before. so i shouted, "come on out," and soon i saw them both
look out expressing fear and innocence at once. they said that they wee
haveing fun with something that they found someone had left behind a
basket on the floor.
"let me see," and so i took it with a snatch that left a crooked smile
across the corner of my mouth. it was a smooth and shiny object with a
purpose and a job i recognized and was familiar with. looking up i saw one
pair of eyes that somehow now were staring straight into the secrets of my
min. i knew at once it was the she thng, to the they and the he thing
looking back at me and my desire.
inflamed i reached and pulled her close, but then at once i had them both
off balance and we fell upon the floor into a pile of awkard bodies, with
arms and legs and elbows caught beneath, around and in between us all.
hastily i helped them up and said that we should soon discuss and try to
understand what they had found. but it was too late to do it now, but if i
tell the truth, i was confused by what i felt inside.
Skyscraper so call said
They're choking out the sun
And we're all so paranoid of everyone
There's no trust, no love
No future for mankind
If this life's about getting ahead
I'll just stay behind
Poisoned clouds raining down from above
Don't know what we're thinking
In a life there's no love
Let's start a war for financial stability
This world has become our graveyard
And still we can't see
Politicians reigning down from above
Don't know what we're thinkin'
In a life there's no love
Let's start a war for financial stability
This world has become our graveyard
And still we can't see
[Repeat: x3]
What do we learn?to kill better
What do we learn? to kill better
What do we learn? to kill better
What do we learn? 1-2-3 WAR!
Learn from history to kill better
Disconnected since birth
Success is weighed by your worth
What is economics?
It's the power and who has got it
Words I don't understand
Progress means to rape the land
Really does history teach?
Circles, cycles, leach
Poisoned clouds raining down from above
Don't know what we're thinking
In a life there's no love
Let's start a war for financial stability
This world has become our graveyard
And still we can't see
Politicians reigning down from above
Don't know what we're thinkin '
In a life there's no love
Let's start a war for financial stability
This world has become our graveyard
And still we can't see
[Repeat: x3]
What do we learn?to kill better
What do we learn? to kill better
What do we learn? to kill better
What do we learn? 1-2-3 WAR!
Learn from history to kill better
Back track everybody knows jut that
You're paraanoid about the things that just don't cut it flat
You're pullin' all the tricks from you sleeve
But only God knows what the hell you mean
Stare out my window at the brocken streets below
Feel the angst within me soon I'm gonna blow
Got a rage built up inside of me I'll never show
Love to stay and chat but I gotta go
You second guess your life
Tryin' to make it all fit
Gotta stop your cryin'
And be more sure of it
Inquisitive minds want to interfere
Try n' figure out what the hell I'm doin' here
Turn around the corner it's a brand new day
Strange the way today seems just like yesterday
Try your best to free yourself from anxiety
Livin' for today, you gotta make it your priority
When you can walk a mile into my shoe
Criticize me then I won't fuss
A nuh what you may say but what you do
Those are the words of Confucious
Many a serious things are said in jest
Provacatively or contemptuously
Only fools do and say things they regret
Those are the words of Confucious
What the world needs is more love and understanding
Put down your sword and heed to peaceful ways
For there's no gain to lean on one's misgivings
Men who them hang can't drown
Confucious say
Merry merry up yourself
Confucious say
Happy happy time is still for us today
I look as though i've died
i loathe my life
i can't believe my mind
oh the pain
the pictures tell it all
wretchedly depraved
cast reason to the wind
fires all i see
the mirror shattering
Someone avenge for me
the child who died inside
water come over me
until the flames subside
I see i see through you
the devil there
consumed your bitter soul
and left destruction in it's wake
Your eyes they tell me all
all the guilt you bear
my confidant and friend
you betrayed the trust
smashed forever more
Someone avenge for me
the child who died inside
water come over me
until the flames subside
venomous fury builds
let's hang the traitor high
You're not alone in your sin
we're all the same
but you didn't break the chain
and rise above
goodbye my friend
Moments such as this
are what defines a man
when the curtains finally close
all we're left with is blood
we must fight for the blood
there's nothing else
more worth standing up for
I swam in the vengeance of
the child who died inside
water came over me
but couldn't still the knife
until you feel my pain
you'll never realize
mercy wash over me
and grant me stay this night
It's so unreal
the cruelty of fate
it's so unreal
the sorrow of fate
Can you hear me, God on-high ?
Hear my prayer, I need you tonight.
Things have turned so - out of hand.
There's so much that I don't understand.
Don't judge me too harshly.
Please, have mercy on me...
in the name of love! The name of love!
Don't want more than is my share.
Have patience on your wayward-son.
I'm just a man.
A long-lost sinner, that's why I'm here.
For all the things I've said and done;
Forgive me if you can.
Hear me! Be near me!
In my hour of need.
Confrontation! In the name of love!
Hear my confession - oh, Lord.
God, can you hear me ?
Won't ya' give me a sign.
I need you near me, need you tonight.
Can you see me are you here ?
Hear my prayer...
In the name of love!
In the name of love!
You want confrontation without knowing what you're gonna hit
You kick up shit in all directions but no one seems to benefit
You waste your hate on decent people who don't deserve to feel your pain
You keep on breaking your confidence down until you drive yourself insane
You make accusations To justify your own abuse
Instead of just directing your anger where it could come to some use
You turn your back on bigger problems and let them go over your head
And then you turn someone you know into your biggest threat Instead
You want confrontation
You want confrontation
You want confrontation
You want confrontation
Everything you say is bullshit so don't raise your fucking voice
All you ever do is scream just for the sake of making noise
'Cause You want confrontation
'Cause You want confrontation
What's your motivation when you start to yell and shout
If you don't know when to be patient How can you learn to let it out?
You can't react without all sense of logic That's like beating yourself with your fist
Tell me what you can accomplish If you can't even learn to resist
You make accusations faster than you throw a dart
If you don't where you should aim it how can you turn hate into art
Stay focused on the things that annoy or be caught in the same trap you set
Becos' no one will need to destroy you if you're chasing your own silhouette
You want confrontation
You want confrontation
You want confrontation
You want confrontation
Everything you say is bullshit so don't raise your fucking voice
All you ever do is scream just for the sake of making noise
'Cause you want confrontation I'll give you confrontation
'Cause you want confrontation I'll give you confrontation
You want confrontation, well that's what you're gonna get
You want confrontation, You ain't seen nothing yet
You want confrontation, what's the fucking use
You want confrontation, have you got a good excuse
You want confrontation, Is that the best that you can do
You want confrontation, Tell me something new
You want confrontation, Who's confronting who
You want confrontation, Now I'm confronting you
Jesus Christ was a very kind man
He gave his life for all our sins
Did he have to
I guess he had to
Abe Lincoln was a very brave man
He took a chance, freed the slaves
Did he have to
I guess he had to
Do you believe in me
Cause if you don't I'm gonna leave you
Super man was a very strong man
He risked his life with kryptonite
Did he have to
I guess he had to
Robin Hood was a generous man
Stole from the rich, fed the poor
Did he have to
I guess he had to
Do you believe in me
Cause if you don't I'm gonna leave you
The creation of thoughts
A process which never ends
Our life guided by an idea
A construction of a plan
In the end just a goal soon
Clearance reaches my mind
The stone rolled up the hill
One inch to... failed
In the Labyrinth of life
The individual in it's hive
All that remains just an illusion
In the end what stays, confusion
[Chorus:]
A quest entailed by a god, a task with no solution
Nobody realized that's that core of our life
An aim can be reached but our live consists of many
Every aim is it worth, the final goal is an illusion
A plan creeps in my mind
Walls of logic are destroyed
Feelings (are) starting to rule my life
A life of another kind
Reason should give the guiding line
The senses are the other side
None of them should be dominant
The balance could be mine
In the Labyrinth of life
The individual in it's hive
All that remains just an illusion
In the end what stays, confusion
[Chorus]
A quest entailed by a god, a task with no solution
Nobody realized that's that core of our life
An aim can be reached but our live consists of many
Every aim is it worth, the final goal is an illusion
You are, enemy
You are my hated enemy
I am enemy
Number one rated enemy
I'm a labeled enemy
I am your mortal enemy
My actions enemy
Make me your bitter enemy
All the world around enemy
They're tearing up the ground enemy
They're drawn in by the sound
Enemy, enemy I must eliminate my Enemy
Your people, enemy
My people's hated enemy
What are you, enemy
Though a created enemy
Terminate the, enemy
Eradicate the hated enemy
I am an enemy
My very greatest enemy
You try to tell me that you love life
Then find another way to kill life
Wanting, love life
Needing, kill life
Wanting, love life
Needing, kill life
Enemy

You don't't need to give me reasons
I understand
Somethings are best kept secret
And you've done all you can
I want no recompense
Just as much as you can give of yourself
If that makes sense
I'll keep it confidential
It's secret, confidential
It may come as some surprise
But I can stay secret from prying eyes
So don't worry, I'll keep it confidential
Between you and me
Go on tell me that you love me
Show me you dare
We may not venture out in public
At least I know, you care
It can't be guaranteed
Just give me what you can of yourself
That's all I need
I'll keep it confidential
It's secret, confidential
It may come as some surprise
But I can stay secret from prying eyes
So don't worry, I'll keep it confidential
Between you and me
No one will know who I am
I think it's possible only to love
You play such silly games
But if everyone knew about us I'd feel no shame
Confidential as a church at twilight (confidential)
Sentimental as a rose in the moonlight (I love you)
My love for you will always be (confidential)
Confidential to me (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Confidential as a mother's prayer (confidential)
Too beautiful for other hearts to share (it's a secret)
My love for you will always be (confidential)
Confidential to me
[Chorus:]
Our love's our precious secret
A beautiful thing apart
There's no need for prying eyes
To look into my heart
Confidential as a baby's cry (confidential)
Sacred and holy as a lover's sigh (I love you)
My love for you will always be (confidential)
Confidential to me
Confidential as a baby's cry
Sacred and holy as a lover's sigh (I love you)
My love for you will always be (confidential)
Confidential to me (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
And with the world comes misery
comes jealousy and pain
and with new friends come enemies
the fortune brings the fame
and oh my dear confidant
(tell me how to feel)
tell me how to feel
(tell me how you've been)
i've been overwhelmed
(overwhelmed by what)
by what lies up ahead
only when your heart is true
only when your heart is true
till you learn to trust yourself
put your trust in someone else
and with new love comes mystery
comes fear you can't define
and with new love comes history
old stars that won't align
oh my dear confidant
(tell me how to feel)
tell me how to feel
(tell me how you've been)
i've been overwhelmed
(overwhelmed by what)
by what lies up ahead
only when your heart is true
only when your heart is true
till you learn to trust yourself
put your trust in someone else
Well, I lost you at the border,
When you crossed it
Had your number, baby,
But I lost it
I know your love,
Was just a flimflam
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
Cause I'm a confidence man
I can talk old ladies,
Out of all of their money
I can talk young girls,
Into calling me honey
You can talk all you want, baby,
But I got fast hands
I know your mother
Taught you how to bake a pie,
And read a book
Your daddy
Taught you how to tell a lie,
And not get shook
Let me tell you somethin', baby
You better learn,
If you're gonna con the con man,
You're liable to get burned
Now, now, now,
We were stretched out on the floor, baby,
It's all elastic
But you stretched it too tight,
And it snapped like plastic,
And the pieces went flying across the badlands.
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man.
Now, maybe Chicago,
Is where you're bound
But love is a cheap perfume,
It hangs around
And you roll the dice,
Now let the bet stand
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man.
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man.
What a day, that i've left behind
you forgave, said i've done my time
i've been good, animation rhyme
sisterhood, can i find that line
Not anymore, i don't feel it
i'm not hopeless, tragic
no, nothing no more to say
i've got freedom, no more calling
I don't care
i'll walk away
'cause i've got confidence for quiet
i'm not afraid
I'm not hungry, i'm over fed
satisfied, with the life i've led
moving on, to where you can't see
what is me
well it's just for me
Mine end of the line
you don't hear it crashing silent
you're all gone left me behind
is this freedom no one's calling
I don't care, i'll walk away
'cause i've got confidence for quiet
i'm not afraid
No, nothing no more to say
is this freedom, no one calling
I don't care, i'll walk away
'cause i've got confidence for quiet
i'm not afraid
i don't care
i'll walk away
'cause i've got confidence for quiet
i'm not afraid
i've got confidence
i'm not afraid
I cant find my confidence today
and i don't feel like ever waking up
you don't look so bad your self today
hear the words i say
i speak them you just run away
And i can't show
you how real
how real things could be yeah...
and i believe
that you could feel
that you could feel something whoa...
When your close there's things i want to say
but i end up just not speaking at all
and if i spoke i fear you'd look the other way
a smile's not displayed
my confidence erased (ohh...)
And i cant show
you how real
how real things could be yeah...
and i believe
that you could feel
that you could feel something whoa...
And i cant show
you how real
how real things could be yeah...
and i believe
that you could feel
that you could feel something whoa...
I stand in the distance
I view from afar
Should I offer some assistance
Should it matter who you are
We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared
Confide in me
Confide in me
I can keep a secret
And throw away the key
But sometimes to release it
Is to set our children free
We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Stick or twist, the choice is yours
Hit or miss, what's mine is yours
Stick or twist, the choice is yours
Hit or miss, what's mine is yours
We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Confide in me
Come a little closer
You're my confidant
When the sun fades into the night
And my thoughts drift across the sky
There's a feeling I'm holding tight
And I'm thankful that You're just a prayer away
I've been longing for the One who shares my heart
Come a little closer
Have I told You
You're my confidant
All the things that I dream
Resting on your shoulder
Is what I do
You're my confidant
You're the one who comforts me
It's so hard in this shallow age
To find a more faithful friend
When I call on Your sweet name
You're right beside me and You stay until the end
Come a little closer
Have I told You
You're my confidant
Resting on your shoulder
Is what I do
You're my confidant
And I know you are here
Oh be careful with all my secrets
I tell You my heart whatever I feel
With You I know I can be real
You know what I'll say before I start
You're the keeper of my heart
Yes You are
You're my confidant
I know you are listening
I see Your face and have no fear
Inside my heart I'll let you see
You can keep my secret
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've.
the story's getting closer to the end.
he kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've.
he'd rather be alone than pretend.
She just wanted him to love her but he didn't.
he took to the woods and wandered in it.
walked along and on until they couldn't.
stole himself to tell her that he wouldn't.
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've.
the story's getting closer to the end.

Skinny little brats
Walking down Avenue A
Dangling their cigarettes
Their Independence Day
Tears like filigrees
Wear them on their sleeves
Nobody's main squeeze
It's thirty-five degrees
Poetry of ordinary life is what I live for
They just want to be seen
They just want to be heard, said
[Chorus]
My words are like confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall to the ground
I need someone to lift me up
So diaphanous so ephemeral
And all those bad words
They never learned in school
Groovy like my mamma was
In her black turtle neck
She was so high strung
She was so low tech
Poetry and tattooed dreams
And fourteen caret nose rings
The children of elite
Are trying to be street saying
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Watch this...
[chorus]
These are my confessions
Jus when I thought I said all I could say
My chick was on the side said she got one on the way
These are my confessions
Man, im thrown and I don't know what to do
I guess I got to give you part two
Confessions
If I'm going to tell it then I got to tell it all
Damn near cried when I got the phone call
I'm so throwed
I don't know what to do
But to give you part two of my confessions
[verse 1]
Now this is going to be the hardest thing I think I ever had to do
Got me talkin' to myself and askin how I am going to tell you
Bout that chick from part one that I was creepin with
Say she's months preganant and she's keepin it
First thing that came to mind was you
Second thing was how do I know thats its mine and its true
Third thing was me wishing that I never did what I did
How I ain't ready for no kid and bye bye to our relationship
Jus when I thought I said all I could say
My chick was on the side said she got one on the way
These are my confessions
Man, I'm thrown and I don't know what to do

Damn near cried when I got the phone call

But to give you part two of my confessions
[verse 2]
Sitting here stuck on stupid, trying to figure out
When, with and how this is goin to come out my mouth
See it aint goin to be easy
But I need to stop thinkin contemplating, be a manand get it over with
Over with
Im ridin' in my whip, racin' two her place
Talkin to myself, preparin to tell her to your face
She opened up the door, didn't wanna come near me
I said 'one second baby please hear me'
Jus when I thought I said all I could say
My chick was on the side said she got one on the way
These are my confessions
Man, I'm thrown and I dont know what to do

[Usher talking on phone]
Hello?
Yo I'm in the booth I'mma call you right back
Nah I just gotta put this one part down I'mma call you back
I'm at the studio man what--
Man quit playin' with me man
No for real don't play like that
Are you--are you serious?
How you know?
Put that on everything.
Damn
I'mma call u back
I'mma call u back...
[Intro]
Everytime I was in L.A. I was with my ex-girlfriend
Everytime you called I told you,
Baby I'm workin. (No!)
I was out doin my dirt (Oh!)
Wasn't thinkin' 'bout you gettin' hurt
(I) was hand in hand in the Beverly Center like man
Not givin' a damn who sees me
So gone (I know)
So wrong (Just listen)
Thinkin' I got it and left you sittin' at home
Thinkin' about me
Bein' a good girl that you are
But you prolly believe you got a good man
I mean I would never do the things I'mma 'bout to tell you I've done
Brace yourself
It ain't good
But it would be even worse if you heard this from somebody else (oh no)
[Usher speaking]
I know you hate me
I know I hurt you
But there's more
listen...
On this here street where i do sit
lives a man we can't forgive
his felony was jealousy
an impossible personality
And if you think it's you then let me know
He wasn't rich, he wasn't poor
though how he longed for so much more
at night he dreamed of buccaneers
pirate ships and privateers
and if you think it's you then let me know
His window was his favourite seat
for watching history repeat
was he cursed or was he blessed
in the end well he confessed
And if you think it's you then let me know
This is what he said...
The warning signs
are on my wall
there's no feelin' anymore
has it always been like this?
signed and sealed without a kiss
well i know it's there
it's just something that i missed
And through the tears of madness
souvenirs of sadness
is all he sees, all he sees
So how do i begin to end this tale?
of a time when all was well
and he'd laze on summer days
down by the lake
where the seagulls play
what a way
to waste his days
Who is to blame?
have i been framed
who is to blame
have i been framed
for the death of these days?
I'm just a girl
With good intentions
I don't cry
To get attention
Most of the time...
I'm just a girl
I do some damage
I use my gender
To my advantage
Is this a crime?!
If there is a time I ever need an alibi
I don't have to try
It's built in
It comes with the package!
Along with sugar and spice
And everything nice
The power I possess to entice
It's built in
It comes with the package!
That's why I love being a teenage girl
Feeling to find where I fit in the world
I'm in bloom! I'm in bloom!
And if ever I'm caught
Doing what I should not
They'll assume
I'm an innocent girl
I'm just a girl
I keep my promise
I won't bite
Completely harmless
Most of the time...
I'm just a girl
My wrath is tender
Bat my eyes
And they surrender
Is this a crime?!
If there is a time I ever need an alibi
I don't have to try
It's built in
It comes with the package!
Along with sugar and spice
And everything nice
The power I possess to entice
It's built in
It comes with the package!
That's why I love being a teenage girl
Feeling to find where I fit in the world
I'm in bloom! I'm in bloom!
And if ever I'm caught
Doing what I should not
They'll assume
I'm an innocent girl
Held like water in you shaking hands
are all the small defeats a day demands
10-6 or 9-5 trying, dying to survive
never knowing what survival means
Leave the apartment to buy alcohol
hang our diplomas on the bathroom wall
pick at the plaster chipped away
survey some stunning tooth decay
enlist the cat in the impending class-war
Let's lay our bad day down here, dear and
make-believe we're strong
or hum some protest song
like maybe "we shall overcome someday"
Overcome the stupid things we say
say i needed more than this
say i needed one more kiss
we left that light on way too long now
Let's plant a bomb at city-hall and
kill an mla
we'll talk the night away
you call in sick
i'll quit the word-games that i play
i swear i way more than half believe it when i say
that somewhere love and justice shine
Cynicism falls asleep
tyranny talks to itself
sappy slogans all come true
we forget to feed our fear
Held like water in you shaking hands
are all the small defeats a day demands
10-6 or 9-5 trying, dying to survive
never knowing what survival means
Leave the apartment to buy alcohol
hang our diplomas on the bathroom wall
pick at the plaster chipped away
survey some stunning tooth decay
enlist the cat in the impending class-war
Let's lay our bad day down here, dear and
make-believe we're strong
or hum some protest song
like maybe "we shall overcome someday"
Overcome the stupid things we say
say i needed more than this
say i needed one more kiss
we left that light on way too long now
Let's plant a bomb at city-hall and
kill an mla
we'll talk the night away
you call in sick
i'll quit the word-games that i play
i swear i way more than half believe it when i say
that somewhere love and justice shine
Cynicism falls asleep
tyranny talks to itself
sappy slogans all come true
we forget to feed our fear
[Chorus]
What type of drugs do you do?
And what do you do to get your hands on your shit mothafucka huh??!!
What kind of dirty tricks you do to get yourself fixed?
You're all sick; is it lack of love? or lack of your withdrawal?
Drugs!! I need femine venoms in the system
In order to function in the rhythm
You get hook to the look of wild vomen
And want to live in the land of the unforgiven
Habits turn bad ones
Individuals make 'em poison rituals
Gotta have it a have it, a habit
Welcome your traces of an addict
God forgive me for my bad habits,
Drug addict needle in my vein, I gotta have it
To kill the pain, you silly rabbit
I dig a hole under the sun to hide from the static
Automatic pressure got to kill it
Give some act-right juice so I could feel it
Ah, now everything is all right
The eye of the needle cries out to the dark side
Looking inside through the outdoor knocking
But society won't let me in so I grab my stocking
Put over my head and get the dough
'Cause the needle is my God and smack is my soul
Parahernaila in my domain brings conclusion
That I'm using but the question is, am I abusing
Infested in the residence of pico union
Drug intrusion, color fusion
Invasion! of your senses maintain relapse
Dilate eye lenses, my dependence on these chemical artificial dreams
Is what makes my habit obscene
[Chorus]
What type of drugs do you do?
And what do you do to get your hands on your shit mothafucka huh??!!
What kind of dirty tricks you do to get yourself fixed?
You're all sick; is it lack of love? or lack of your withdrawal?
Drugs!! I need femine venoms in the system
In order to function in the rhythm
Tinted like the darkest shadows, my mind is cloudly subliminal
Commands will penetrate then I get rowdy conditions
Drowsy, the sedative brings negative enemies
I slump down and stay ahead of me
Powerful like metamphetamines my state is altered
This here's no lie hydroponic, chronic
Got you feeling all erotic aphrodisiac, who's got it?
Alvarado maniacs risk poison time buying dimes
When you got the fix get in the mix
There's no denving drug's the only factor
Got me in the rapture making an addict out of you
And proceed to capture you mind
You're mine, choke hold to your whole skull, substance uncontrolled
Who holds straight keys to locks and unlocks key holes
The structure of my trip is unstoppable
I'm 50 hits of the dot all powerful
We go deranged and remain living the last days in the haze of purple micro
I remember when I was a high school star
Had the proom queen, scholarship, brand new car
It's funny, you never know who your friends are
'til you lose all your sensibilities to the act-right
But I'm all wrong; no wonder my family
Don't want to have nothing to do with me
Humiliation, neglect, no respect
The concept of rehabilitation has been swept
I wish I was clean a far fetched dream
But what other way am I going to blow of my steam
Heaven's all in this bottle of juice making me feel high
Making me feel loose, get nowhere turn to no one
Trust me, I don't even trust myself
You made me nervous
a prince in a shallow grave
only a few
ever really had a clue
this world is empty
and a boring place without you
I can see now
see where i was blind
and i'm sorry
sorry for the things i've done
but i was too young
and i was too young
to know how to be strong
Confessions of a boy's repressions
Ya try to think of a human
Civilization and everybody's cryin'
\"How are we to explain things?\",
Easy,easy
Neurotic, psychotic and anxious,
Has a dream about human
Language and finally find the
Words to say, easy easy
Confessions kill you over time
Confess your love leave me
Behind
[Chorus:]
Keep me up all night like a saint
In the twilight hour
I don't need no one, I just
Want someone to lie
Maybe in my tomb I'll evade
The madness, reinvent and
Sculpt and package find a
Luminary plain, easy easy
Confused by the blandness and
The trials of hurt and sadness and
Not knowing anything, easy easy
Confessions kill you over time
Confess your love leave me
Behind
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
x
Try to think of a human civilization
And everybody's cryin' \"how are
We to explain things?\", easy, easy
Neurotic, psychotic and anxious,
Has a dream about human baggage
And finally throws it all away
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
(Repeat to end)
Watch this...

(x2)
I know you don't want to see. I know you're not part of me
But you wonder just the same. So I'll let you in on this game
What's on the top is just the beginning
Of the protectorate that keeps Gaia spinning
It never ends, and with the gifts Luna sends, to the apocalypse
On we defend for the right to live in a perfect world
For our past mistakes, extinction we are hurled
Trying to make amends for the Impergium,
As Weaver and the Wyld and a bitch called the Wyrm
(You don't want to know)
All the power of the Wyld that runs through me,
Yet the reason why is an answer that eludes me
(You don't want to see)
Our viewpoint on what mankind is doing,
That black inside when frenzy is brewing
(You don't want to feel)
The sorrow that my heart holds in knowing
Just where my hopes and dreams are going
(I won't let you be)
Caught up in a war that you are not part of.
I sign this letter Your Father, With Love.
I'm trying to set my mind free.
I'm sorry you never knew me.
My soul is in recession.
Painful to make this confession.
(Cam) Father
(Minister) Yes my son
(Cam) Forgive me for I have sinned
Its been 21 years since my last confession
(Minister) 21? That seems like a very long time for
you to miss confession my son
(Cam) Yeah, but I'm only 19
(Minister) 19?
(Cam) Yeah
(Minister) that's interesting
(Cam) Yeah, its like I just have these dreeeamz, and you know
Verse 1
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Yo father, where you want to start
How I love ladies
Or how I'm slug crazy
Or how I'm a thug maybe
From a drug baby
I need more than just a slight high
I mean father I'm blind out my right eye
Don't mourn and cry
Cause we were born to die
So fuck mom and father cries
I was one never to bother guys
But when my girl got sadamized
I was dramatized
Shoved the dick down her throat and
Told her it was a taste test and
Take a deep throat so she wouldn't have to waste breath
I mean they fucked her and stuck her
I said man fuck a AIDS test
Cause I'm gon' go raw anyway
I'm one that like to chase death
But that guy, got to get him hit
Wild hairs and tattoos and spanish
Wait, wait, wait, who that description fit
Don't give me chrome for Jenny Jones
My man with the crime sheet
But he kept talkin bout my girl was a dime piece
And she had a nice figure
Drove a nice Vigor
And for mr to bag her
That I had to be a nice nigga
Wait, wait, don't appall me yo
I can't jump to conclusions that's all we know
But his wife did use to call me yo
Now I roll for the hell
I'm sorry father
Let me go head and tell
How I really want to be old in a cell
See my two year old nephew
I swear I was holding him well
Til he cried, and he cried, and he cried
I had to scold him and yell
Ya know one thing led to another
I said oh what the hell
Then I threw him against the wall
His parents I told them he fell
that's why I'm going to hell
This shit ain't going that well
Too many things I did that aren't loose
Smoke and leaks like giving a car a boost
My grandfather got me mad
And I peed inside hid orange juice
And asked him if its tangy
When I'm angry
Then one day
When I thought it wasn't a sin left
I ran into my aunt
With the fat ass and the thin chest
I don't really want to talk about it
Or get in depth
But father I'm gon' leave you
With this last word called incest
(Cam) You know what I'm sayin'?
(Minister) My son, my son, remember the words of the Lord.
Isaiah chapter 59, verse 1, behold, the Lords hands is not shortened,
that it cannot hear, but your enipirings have separated
between you and your God, and your sins hath speakath
boastfully, that he will not heal.
Verse 2
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
See father I lost my scruples
Went straight banoodles
When I raped that putu
And tried to turn the putu
Into, veh, Oodles of Noodles
Now I'm chased by the voodoos
See what that dust does
I love that Vanessa heffa
But I jerk off 'til I bust blood
Oh yeah I got my balls pierced
And my psychiatrist I ain't seen him all year
He........
(Cam singing)
Hey little baby don't you cry
Mama gon' make sure you get high
Put that vodka in your milk
Make sure that your bottle filled
Oh that was just a little song my mother
Sang when she was stressed yo
I don't know why she got mad when I cry
If the bitch deaf yo
Who the F know
But death row
I'm coming by the inches
And them niggaz outside on the benches
Don't think that we in the trenches
Cause we got a 600
And we ride like the Princess
But my cousin Blood yo he died like the Princess
20 years old and dead
BMX days he played the front
I rolled the pegs
My girl want to know why I'm cold in bed
Tellin' me to hold my head
Askin' why I scold my kids
Cause I don't want them litlle muthafuckas
To touch the drugs I sold and did
But fuck it I'll take my own life
And cut a vein Black
Why don't you do like the cartoons
And tie me up to the train tracks
Or fuck the glory
Why don't you drop me from the 6th story
That'll be a sick story
Wait, wait, wait, speaking of sick stories
Oh father don't start me tweakin
I don't want to talk about that Sunday evening
That cold November weekend
When I had to grab that Deacon
And put him into my dungeons of heathens
And then in tongues I was speakin
(Cam speaking in tongues)
Then I woke up to loud preaching
Oh that's just the Pastor
Flippin through the Bible
Reading the scriptures on the rapture
I guess it was my soul he was trying to capture
He missed me by a hairbone fracture
But he wanted to lay me down in a green pasture
But yet aiya
Still feel like I'm in a bed of fire
Like Jebaniah
why'knaw I'm sayin cause
It's like Daniel trapped in a lion's pit
Father I feel like I'm dying quick
that's why I ain't shit
(Cam) So, could you just please fuckin' help me please?
(Minister) My son, my son
(Cam) Please
(Minister) I understand that you're stressed my son, but
don't forget the words of the Lord my son, which reads....
