Random Song Lyrics

There's another way
There must be another way
This is not a game
We will play it anyway

Stare into my screen
It gives me what I need
I'm chomping at the bits
You get my drill feed

I love your stranglehold
I need your stranglehold
Just squeeze until I go, go

Help me, help me
You know me better than I know myself
Mayday mayday
Send angels, I'm a danger to myself
You know me better than I know myself

Getting nothing done
I'm getting nothing done
Failing all my friends
And I'm failing everyone

I love your stranglehold
I need your stranglehold
Just squeeze until I go, go

Help me, help me
You know me better than I know myself
Mayday mayday
Send angels, I'm a danger to myself

They were hiding behind hay bales,
They were planting in the Full Moon
They had given all they had for something new

But the light of day was on them,
They could see the thrashers coming
And the water shone like diamonds
In the dew.

And I was just getting up,
Hit the road before it's light
Trying to catch an hour on the sun

When I saw those thrashers rolling by,
Looking more than two lanes wide
I was feeling like my day had just begun.

Where the eagle glides descending
There's an Ancient River bending
Down the Timeless Gorge of Changes
Where sleeplessness awaits

I searched out my companions,
Who were lost in Crystal Canyons
When the Aimless Blade of Science
Slashed the Pearly Gates.

It was then I knew I'd had enough;
Burned my credit card for fuel
And headed out to where the pavement turns to sand

With a one-way ticket to the Land of Truth
And my guitar in my hand
How I lost my friends I still don't understand.

They had the best selection,
They were poisoned with protection
There was nothing that they needed,
Nothing left to find

They were lost in rock formations
Or became park bench mutations
On the sidewalks and in the stations
They were waiting;
Waiting.


So I got bored and left them there;
They were just dead weight to me
Better down the road without that load

Brings back the time when I was eight or nine;
I was watching my Mama's T.V.
It was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode.

Where the vulture glides descending
On an asphalt highway bending
Through libraries and museums,
Galaxies and stars

Down the windy Halls of Friendship
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
The Motel of Lost Companions
Waits with heated pool and bar.

But me, I'm not stopping there,
Got my own row left to hoe
Just another line in the Field of Time

When the thrashers come,
I'll be stuck in the Sun
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
But I'll know the time has come
To give what's mine.

Someone come, someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I'm dead but now it's like the night is taking sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be this misery will suffice?

I went to a cobbler
To fix a hole in my shoe
He took one look at my face
And said, "I can fix that hole in you"

I beg your pardon
I'm not looking for a cure
Seen enough of my friends
In the depths of the godsick blues

You know I am a liar
You know I am a liar
Nobody helps a liar

Because I've been down to Dixie
And dropped acid on my tongue
Tripped upon the land
Until enough was enough

I was a little bit lighter
And adventure on my sleeve
I was a little drunk
And looking for company

So I found myself a sweetheart
With the softest of hands
We were unlucky in love
But I'd do it all again

We build ourselves a fire
We build ourselves a fire
But you know I am a liar
You know I am a liar

And you don't know what I've done

By the rolling river is
Exactly where I was
There was no snake oil cure
For unlucky in love

To be lonely is a habit
Like smoking or taking drugs
And I've quit them both
But man, was it rough

Now I am tired
It just made me tired
Let's build ourselves a fire
Let's build ourselves a fire

Waking up at the start of the end of the world,
But it's feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,

The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I
Started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?

Not so much random. This came into my mind as I listened to some of Elsie's music again after learning of her passing.

RIP

We raise our boys to fight our wars
Raise our girls to be their whores
Spoon-fed lies and raised on hate
We kill and consume what we create

Out of control and you've shivered my timbers, i'm all fucked up the
Moon's just a sliver yea silence is golden but duct tape is silver
Like the lining of the clouds that conceal the killers.

It's the thoughts that you feed
It's the habits you need
It's the things that you don't think that you're seeing
When you're really seeing
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window

It's your tone in my mouth
It's the things that we're too scared to talk about
It's the feeling that you're dreaming
(You're not really dreaming)
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window

It's the feeling that you're falling
But there's a fine line between falling and flying
It's the feeling that you've lost it
What don't you get?
What don't you get?

It's the thoughts that you feed
It's the habits you need
It's the things that you don't think that you're seeing
When you're really seeing
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window

Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know, this void will grow and
Everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
Feels so right, but I'll end this all before it gets me

Call your name every day, when i feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day, when i seem so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this doubt

I come in from Memphis
Where I learned to talk the jive
When I get back to Memphis
Be one less man alive
Good morning, Mr. Benson,
i see you're doing well
If I had me a shotgun
You Know I'd blow you straight to Hell

Little girl have I told you
how you light up my life
come and lay down beside me
come and thrill me tonight

I'm not saying I love you
I won't say I'll be true
there's a crimson bird flying
when I go down on you

Just another bunch of torn-down college graduates.
Trying to find a place to sit down for a while.
Too pun tough to fake it, too belligerent to take it, sitting down,
early town.

Just another bunch of would be desperados.
Failing to pace themselves against the grain.
Strung out on semantics, Holiday-Inn vigilantes,
late night, early town.

It's been a month since the Fourth of July
Stood there and stared at the grief in my eyes
Leave it to me to live out a lie

So I sat on the curb and I cried like a child
Catching my breath just walk for awhile
And I thought of what could go wrong

I'm already gone
Don't say a word
I can't hear you
Don't hold me close
I can't feel you

So I stopped at the store to grab cigarettes
Couldn't say it out loud couldn't fathom it yet
You finally feel and we feel like this

I'm sorry just wasn't enough destroying your faith
Preserving your trust we couldn't choose
And neither could I

I know that I left you for dead
Don't give up so soon
Because you know that we all have a bed
It's waiting for you in the recovery room

Just forget everything that I said
Washed out the wounds
Walls painted red
Waiting for you in the recovery room

She stood there in her summer dress
Wind caught her hair and failed to confess
I smiled as we raced through the night
My hand caught her wings then nothing felt right

I know that I left you for dead
Don't give up so soon
Because you know that we all have a bed
It's waiting for you in the recovery room

Just forget everything that I said
Washed out the wounds
Walls painted red
Waiting for you in the recovery room

Open me up and you will see
I'm a gallery of broken hearts
I'm beyond repair, let me be
And give me back my broken parts

I just want to know today, know today, know today
I just want to know something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be ok

You call my name when I wake up
To see things go your way
I'm coughing up my time
Each drag's a drop of blood, a grain
A minute of my life
It's all I've got just to stay down
Why the fuck am I still down
I'm hoarding all thats mine
Each time I let just one slip by
I'm wasting what is mine

I'm about to see a million things I thought I'd never seen before,
And I...I'm about to do all of the things I dreamed of and
I don't even miss you at all

This mess in my head is a mess getting out
Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout
But after a while, when my mouth's not so dry
I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence

I awoke
Only to find my lungs empty
And through the night
So it seems I'm not breathing
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down

And I'm afraid
To sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainty
That I'll never find the words to say
That would completely explain
Just how I'm breaking down

Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now it's like the night is taking sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be this misery will suffice?

I've become
A simple souvenir of someone's kill
And like the sea
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
oh, how I'm breaking down

It's a midnight swim, where it is late and the air is all clear.
And I remember that evening, you on the floor, I was attached to the ceiling.
Look behind, that glass in your mouth, it's what I am due for.
The sun will set tonight on all the lonely dreamers, only to rise again so we can start it over.
And you were right when you whispered in my ear and it all became so clear.
It's gonna be alright, everything will be alright even if the city ignites.
Now to get back to the room where there's windows as large as the city below.
Bring me down to the safe.
Unlock all of me, until then...
We'll start it again so we can start it over.
The sun will set tonight

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

A devil in a midnight mass,
He prayed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class
Resurrected from the past

Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don't work no more
Footsteps down the hallway floor
Getting closer to my door
I was alive but now I'm singing

Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night for the rest of my life
Violent knight at the edge of your knife
"Forgive me Father!" won't make it right
Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent knight at the edge of your knife
You're Guilty!

A devil in a midnight mass,
killed the boy inside the man
The holy water in his hands
Can never wash away his sins

Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don't work no more
Put my trust in God that day
Not the man that taught his way
I was alive but now I'm singing

Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night for the rest of my life
Violent knight at the edge of your knife
"Forgive me Father!" won't make it right
Silent night for the rest of my life
Silent night at the edge of your knife
You're guilty

Whisper, whisper, don't make a sound
your bed is made and it's in the ground

Combat lover you came here to get some more
Seems like you're turning worse than ever before
Combat lover you think every time and every way
You whisper my name
And you wish I'll obey
Be careful to be so vicious and mean
My love can also be a killer machine...
