Sound Of A Gun
In the here and the now I'll wait down among the young and the old With the moon and the ground I play with my childern in my home This is for the daughters and sons of forgotten one's learning how to stand This is for the innocent unknown's buried in the sand
All running from a sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun 'till you're weary Running from the sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun
From the crack in the blackness I'll wake, it's getting closer every night In my city the playground is a battleground between the wrong and the right I could run free as a child I was safe and wild, naked, and unarmed Now I'm gone and safe in my home but some will never stop
Running from the sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun 'till they're weary Running from the sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun
The open mouth of the city swallowed up the town On that same old concrete that I still walk down And it seemed they put a shine on this place when I was young Well maybe I just don't see it now
Running from the sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun 'till I'm weary Running from the sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun Hey!
I'm running from the sound of a gun I'm running from the sound of a gun I'm running from the sound of a gun I'm running from, running from the sound of a gun
Until We Fall
I walk the streets where I regret, ah-ah-ah I stood along and watched myself fall apart And said the voices in my head, ah-ah-ah Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart
And when I'm tired of feeling black Spread the wings upon you're back Take us high above it all Stroke you're feathers 'till we fall back down again, ah-ah-ah
But everything that sounded good, ah-ah-ah I understand that I'll be misunderstood
And when I'm tired of feeling black Spread the wings upon you're back Take us high above it all Stroke you're feathers 'till we fall Until we fall, until we fall back down again Yeah, back down again
What do you feel before you think? What do you see before you blink? Who do you battle in you're dreams? Who strokes you're feathers 'till you scream?
And when I'm tired of feeling black Spread the wings upon you're back Take us high above it all And stroke you're feathers 'till we fall Until we fall, until we fall back down again Yeah, back down again
Original Fire
The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on
With a pen in one hand taking us and drugged on kerosene '84 and 5 would find us something to believe Right or wrong with dirty hands on wires Singing songs in dischord choirs Screaming in braille no temptress prize Could ever yield anything so real
The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on
Golden soldiers born much older than they'll ever live to be Diving into a sea of hands in a long forgotten city Here the rain falls ever after The swinging vines hang dead in rafters Blood rush to your head induces laughter endlessly
The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on The original fire has died and long gone But the riot inside moves on
Can't explain that it was somethin' to see Can't contain so somethin' ever real Ever real Hey!
Can't explain it was somethin' to see Can't contain so somethin' ever real Ever real
The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on The original fire has died and gone But the riot inside moves on
Broken City
My city sleeps by the side of a freeway, the city scraps And winter time she wore a yellow coat Now there's nothin' on her back If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice unless you were in it Then no one cares about climbin' stairs, nothin' at the top no more
Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack Outside trippin' in the broken city Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Now the snow falls down like it's fallin' on an ocean Dead and empty by the railroad tracks where they used to go and come Now they don't come back You can heal the rust, goin' up the throughways Down the alleys where they stole this town from the frontier I can see 'em tryin' to steal it back
Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city) Outside trippin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack Outside kickin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city) Outside trippin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Now the sun won't shine on this part of the map Anymore When it's cold outside I see it hide behind the smokestacks No thin roses, no goldrush, no miner, no revolution they'd hire And the shipyard is a graveyard, no one will be trying to find him
Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city) Outside kickin' in the broken city, I watch a building crack Outside trippin' in the broken city (Outside trippin' in the broken city) Outside kickin' in the broken city, there's nothin' wrong with that Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo (There's nothin' wrong with that) Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo do (Outside trippin' in the broken city) Doo doo doo doo,doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Somedays
Somedays, somedays, somedays just ain't so easy
Wake up, look around just before you're feet hit the ground Where they make the oil and street, is where you stand and where you sleep Black and whites along the lights, plain clothes and Miranda Rights At the right place but in the wrong life, somedays just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays) Just ain't so easy
It's not the fault of anyone as we revolve around the sun We sleep beneath the same sky but we all see it through different eyes So if you go or if you stay, standin' still or if you walk away If you bend or if you break somedays just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays) Just ain't so easy, they just ain't so easy Oh yeah
Nobody say it's so easy, yeah I don't care for somedays
Someone may have done you right or done you wrong Or kept it down from the day you were born There's no need to apologize for the riot in your eyes Somedays just ain't so easy Hey! Hey! Hey!
Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays) just ain't so easy Somedays, somedays, somedays (Somedays), somedays (Somedays) Just ain't so easy
Shape Of Things To Come
Well it's late in the hour and a few more grains of sand will fall On the colorful flowers grown upon the dust and moss Now I feel the worst is near I hold them close and count they're years And pray a ray of light appears To shine down on us here
Breakdown in the shape of things to come But I move along like a soldier And I say now when all is said and done It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come
There's a crack in the clouds, but only for a moment now Like an owl looking out, the blue sky spies the roads we will go down I wonder what they hold for us, I hold my family to my breast I feel the worst and hope the best will come to see us blessed
Breakdown in the shape of things to come But I move along like a soldier And I say now when all is said and done It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come Hey! Hey!
Give me one more try in what I'll change I won't deny the thought is strange I've done my best and now we'll ? myself
Breakdown in the shape of things to come But I move along like a soldier And I say now when all is said and done It's not ours to break, the shape of things to come The shape of things to come The shape of things to come
Jewel Of The Summertime
When I was 18 I didn't know pain when the sun was high Burnt face, shadow's erased and I knew I'd be alright They tried to hurt me, uh-huh Somethin' blinded me, uh-huh That reminded me, uh-huh Of a better space and time, miles away
The jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summer-time A jewel of the summertime A jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summer-time
When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight All that I met were dark silhouette's stumbling in the night But we collided, uh-huh In a ?, uh-huh Got alot on me, uh-huh Now I'm bathing in the bright of divided rays
Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summer-time A jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summer-time Time, time
I left that behind me, uh-huh But somethin' blinded me, uh-huh You reminded me, uh-huh Of a better space and time, miles away
Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime A jewel of the summer-time A jewel of the summertime A jewel of the summertime A jewel of the summer-time A jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime A jewel of the summer-time Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summer-time
Wide Awake
You can a look a hurricane right in the eye 1200 people dead or left to die Follow the leaders, we're in an eye for an eye we'll all be blind Death for murder and this I'm sure in this uncertain time
So come pull the sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen today I find you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time When you should have been wide awake
Down on the road the world is floating by The poor and undefended left behind While you're somewhere trading lives for oil As if the whole world were blind, hey
So come pull the sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen today I find you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time When you should have been wide awake
Come pull the sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen today I find you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time When you should have been wide awake Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake!
Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye
Just like a rescue of a stray dog in the rain I was Hungry when you found me And you could tell by my tail and my rib cage what was Once around me
I've been chased by a rain cloud I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around But now I'm found and I won't run away
Bless your heart you gave me a home and a new start And I will leave you never Sleep at your feet and stay guard at you're front door I will keep things together
I've been chased by a rain cloud I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around But now I'm found and I won't run away
I killed myself, threw away my mental health but nobody was blinking an eye Backyard, basement, falling on the pavement Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye
It's true I ran away before but be sure I am no tail-chaser I know a good thing when it throws me a bone I'm you're best friend forever
I've been chased by a rain cloud I was lost and nearly drowned and kicked around But now I'm found and I won't run away
Moth
Thought I was different and it seems I'm just the same As a game I put my hand over the flame I thought I was smarter as I flew into the sun But it turned out the way it does with everyone
Oh, oh I don't fly around you're fire anymore I don't fly around you're fire anymore Burnin', fallin' down so many times before I don't fly around you're fire anymore
I love the heat I love the things that I forgot I love the strings that tie me down and cut me off I was a king, I was a moth with painted wings made of cloth When did the flame burn so high and get so hot?
Oh, oh I don't fly around you're fire anymore I don't fly around you're fire anymore Burnin', fallin' down so many times before I don't fly around, fly around Fly around
I don't fly around you're fire anymore I don't fly around you're fire anymore Burnin', fallin' down so many times before I won't fly around, fly around
I won't fly around you're fire anymore I don't fly around you're fire anymore Burnin', fallin' down so many times before I don't fly around, fly around Oh Fly around, oh
