I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm
spinning How quick the sun can, drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken
glass Of what was everything? All the pictures have all been washed in black,
tattooed everything... All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed

Off He Goes
1, 2, 1, 2... Know a man, his face seems pulled and tense Like he's riding on a
motorbike in the strongest winds So I approach with tact Suggest that he should
relax But he's always moving much too fast Said he'll see me on the flipside On
this trip he's taken for a ride He's been taking too much on There he goes with
his perfectly unkept clothes There he goes... He's yet to come back But I've
seen his picture It doesn't look the same up on the rack We go way back I wonder
about his insides Its like his thoughts are too big for his size He's been
taken... where, I don't know? Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope And
there he goes... And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned Seems my
preconceptions are what should have been burned For he still smiles... And he's
still strong Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown And
now he's home And we're laughing like we always did My same old, same old friend
Until a quarter-to-ten I saw the strain creep in He seems distracted and I know
just what is gonna happen next Before his first step He's off again.

yourself, oh Makes much more sense to live in the present tense Have you ideas

followed him By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact No
tradebacks... So this is what it's like to be an adult If he only knew now what

Given to Fly
He could have 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 out of 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, oh, 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 recieves is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
a human being that was given to fly...
Flying! Whole...
High! Flying! Whole...
He's flying! Woah...
High... Woah... Oh...

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

oh.. nothing's sound
I'd stay here where 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... biting, biting
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my being was enlightened

walked the line when you held my hand that night An empty shells seem so easy to
crack Got all these questions don't know who I could even ask So I'll just lie
alone and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and your lookin' at me And I
stayed in bed Oh in a little while I'll see you If just once I could feel love
Oh I'd say it like I mean it But I walked the line when you held me in that
night Oh I walked the line when you held my hand that night Oh I walked the line
when you held me close that night I paid the price never held you in real life
My lips are shakin'
top
The Long Road
And I wished for so long cannot stay All the precious moments cannot stay It's
not like wings have fallen cannot stay But still something's missing I cannot
say yea Holding hands are daughters and sons And their faiths are falling down
down down down I have wished for so long How I wish for you today Will I walk
the long road the long road Cannot stay the long road There's no need to say
goodbye say goodbye All the friends and family All the memories going round
round round I have wished for so long How I wish for you today And the wind
keeps roarin' And the sky keeps turning grey And the sun is setting The sun
won't rise another day I have wished for so long How I wish for you today I have
wished for so long How I wish for you today Will I walk the long road We all
walk the long road Will I walk the long road We all walk the long road Will I
walk the long road Will I walk the long road We all walk the long road Will I
walk the long road We all walk the long road Will I walk the long road
