Cut Me Loose
03:16
|
|||
I got a brother. He always got my back.
My sweet mother sent me on the right track.
If I had a lover who would cut me some slack.
Then I’d be covered and never need to attack.
Cut me loose. Set me free, my man!
Cut me loose, so my feet can dance.
Out my window, there’s a storm in the sky.
Life is dismal, if you only live to get by.
So you go on your way and know that I go mine.
I’m gonna miss you, but someday we will reunite!
Cut me loose. Set me free, my man!
Cut me loose, so my feet can dance.
Da da da
Da da da
Da da da
Da da da
DANCE!

Naked in the Sun

What you waiting for?
You’re running out of time.
What you running for?
Don’t rush to your demise.
You won’t be young forever,
So you may as well make some fun.
Have you had the pleasure
Of dancing naked in the sun?
Naked in the sun. Dancing naked in the sun.
Naked in the sun. Dancing naked in the sun.
Do you know the worth
In loving living life?
Do you know the words
To the songs of paradise?
I would sing them for you
If I only knew but one.
And you could have the fortune
Of dancing naked in the sun.
Naked in the sun. Dancing naked in the sun.
Naked in the sun. Dancing naked in the sun.
Naked in the sun. Dancing naked in the sun.
Naked in the sun. Dancing naked in the sun.

The Fall
02:34
|
|

There is really something
In the way she does nothing at all
To start a heart a pumping.
Don’t you know you’ve got to fight the fall!
The fall into love,
Or you could lose it all.
There is really nothing
To keep me from wanting it all.
I think i’m gonna jump in.
I forgot you’ve got to fight the fall!
The fall into love,
Or you could lose it all.

Badlands

I’ve got nothing to lose,
And it’s you that I choose.
But your daddy don’t approve,
So I shot him down.
Now he don’t move.
I’ve got blood on my hands.
I’ve got your love and we dance.
But we dance the dance
The dead and damned
Dance in the Badlands.
Never take me alive!
They won’t take me alive!
They’ve arrived with the right
To take me off to the other side.
Never take me alive!
They won’t take me alive!
They’ve arrived with the ride
To take me off to the other side.

Opium
03:48
|
|

I feel wonderful, yet miserable,
Like opium for broken bones.
I’d crawl away to Mexico
To her holiday at the last resort.
Oh oh oh!
Aching in waiting for the date.
Love on my plate I want a taste.
But she has venom in her fangs.
Sure she has venom but…
La da da da da da!
La da da da da da!
La da da da da da!
La da da da da da!
Love ain’t all that mystical;
Film, song, and poem are false mythos.
But maybe I’m too cynical.
I had never felt her kiss before… until that day.
Now every time I hear her name
I feel her venom in my veins.
I feel her venom in my veins.
I feel her venom enter me.
No more for me.
I don't want no more misery.
No more for me.
I don't want no more misery.
More!

When We Were Young
04:55
|
|
||
Give me just a taste,
Enough to numb the pains,
And I’ll be on my way.
I can’t count the days
I’ve wasted. I’ve been wasted.
Am I wasting away?
Vagabond for far too long,
Dragging all I own along
From place to place.
Stranger in my own home,
All alone, nobody knows me
Face to face.
Back when we were young,
I thought you’d be the one.
Kept you on my mind
For the longest time
Back when we were young,
And I believed in love.
Kept you on my mind,
But you were never mine.
Such a pretty face
It’s enough to numb the pains
But never take your place.
As often is the case,
I’ve been feeling strange,
These drugs don’t do the same.
People say: people don’t change,
It’s just the way we’re made.
I’m gonna break the chain.
Back when we were young,
I thought you’d be the one.
Kept you on my mind
For the longest time
Back when we were young,
And I believed in love.
Kept you on my mind,
But you were never mine.

Never Die
03:03
|
|
||
If I had the choice,
What the hell do you think I’d do?
So hard to resist the voice
Whispering, it's all for you.
If I could, would I live forever;
Sell my soul, just to be remembered?
Well honest to Goddess,
I never really thought this through.
The genesis of a deathless
Eternity without you.
If we could always be together,
Would I live, and love you, forever?
The dream of Mammon’s promise
Was leading me to love my ego
Into golden abyss.
I feared the future would forget me. Oh!
Sing to true love:
Art immortalized.
Where do you go
When you never die?

America
04:22
|
|

Oh! Bloody eyes of mine!
Too high, and I’ve been crying.
Gunmen run out in the night,
Bearing the blue, blood-red and white.
What did they go so far for?
The endless war, what have we done oh lord...
To deserve, to deserve, to deserve all this?
To deserve, to deserve, to deserve all this?
Well, here we are.
Oh! Bloody murder she cried
Under blue skies, it’s horrifying!
Gunshots rang out in daylight.
Tearing through flesh, they end his life.
What did they gun him down for?
Is it ‘cause he’s brown, or is it ‘cause he’s poor?
I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t understand
What he did, what he did, what he did to deserve all this.
Here we are
In the light of the morning star.
Pale Lucifer’s America.
(What did they gun him down for?)
(What did they gun him down for?)
(What did they gun him down for?)
I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t understand
What we did, what we did, what we did to deserve all this.
Well, here we are.

The Weight of Worry
04:27
|
|
||
Don’t worry about it.
Money is not everything.
I know we all find ourselves in trouble at times.
You were not made only to fight.
There will be a day;
We will share in revelry, I know.
Tell me all about it.
Tell your story as you want it heard.
There will be no reckoning for sin or sorrow here.
Alleviate your pain with every word.
There will be a day.
We will share in revelry, I know.
Don’t worry about me.
That’s a burden I refuse to bear.
When the weight of worry pulls me to the ground,
I won’t want to be found.
But I know there’ll be a better day
Where we’ll go running towards the sun and we will sing
Surely, you know this is but a revery,
I know one day, we’ll share in revelry.

Gravity

Hold me. Don’t let…. Go.
Holding on to you.
Holding on to you.
Slowly now,
Count down.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Taking off from you.
Taking off from you.
Pull me back to you.
Pull me back to you.
Taking off from you.
Taking off from you.
Floating on.
Floating on.
Floating on.
Floating on and away.
Taking off from you.
Taking off from you.
