Cochise
Well I been watchin' 
while you been coughin 
I've been drinking life 
while you been nauseous 
and so I drink to health 
while you kill yourself 
and I got just one thing 
that I can offer 
go and save yourself 
take it out on me 
go and and save yourself 
take it out on me yea 
well I'm not a martyr 
I'm not a prophet 
and I won't preach to you 
but here's a caution 
you better understand 
that I won't hold your hand 
but if it helps you mend 
then I won't stop it 
go and save yourself 
take it out on me 
go and save yourself 
take it out on me 
go and save yourself 
take it out on me 
go and save yourself 
take it out on me yea 
go if you want 
and I'll see you in the bottom 
where you crawl 
on my skin 
and put the blame on me 
so you don't feel a thing 
go and save yourself 
take it out on me 
go and save yourself 
take it out on me 
go and save yourself 
take it out on me 
go and save yourself 
take it out on me yea


Show Me How To Live
In with the early dawn 
moving right along 
I couldn't buy an eye of sleep 
and in the aching night 
under satellite 
I was not received 
with the stolen parts 
a telephone in my heart 
someone get me a priest 
to put my mind to bed 
this ringing in my head 
is this a cure is or is this a disease 
hey hey I said 
near as I can figure 
you gave me life now 
show me how to live 
hey hey I said 
near as I can figure 
you gave me life now 
show me how to live 
in the afterbirth 
on the quiet earth 
let this things remind me 
you thought you made amend 
you better think again 
before my row defines you 
hey hey I said 
near as I an figure 
you gave me life now show me how to live 
hey hey I said 
near as I can figure 
you gave me life now 
show me how to live 
and in your waiting hands 
I will land 
and roll out of my skin 
and in your final hours I will stand 
ready to begin 
ready to begin 
ready to begin 
ready to begin 
hey hey I said 
near as I can figure 
you gave me life now 
show me how to live 
hey hey I said 
near as I can figure 
you gave me life now 
show me how to live 
show me how to live 
show me how to live 
show me how to live 
show me how to live


Gasoline
Houses haunted 
I just want to go for a ride 
out an on 
thought I'd set this room a light 
left alone 
forever and for crimes unclear 
with my patience gone 
someone take me far from here 
burn that gasoline 
yea 
burn that gasoline 
new day only 
another day in solitude 
houses honest 
clearly more than I can bare 
drain me all 
before I set my world on fire 
I am gone 
the sun will never set tonight 
burn that gasoline 
yea 
burn that gasoline 
no more forests 
only a can on red 
says danger on it 
I have found another way 
burn that gasoline 
yea 
burn that gasoline 
burn it all the way 
burn it all the way


What You Are
when you wanted me I came to you 
when you wanted someone else I lived through 
when you asked for that I set myself on fire 
and if I go 
far away 
I know you'll find another slave 
cause now I'm freed 
from what you want 
now I'm free 
from what you need 
now I'm free 
from what you are 
when you wanted love I cut my veins 
and when you wanted love I bled myself again 
now all I've had I still love you 
I'd give you up forever 
and here I go 
far away 
I know you 
you'll find another slave 
cause now I'm free 
from what you are 
now I'm free from what you need 
now I'm free 
from what you are 
than a vision came to me 
when you came along 
I gave you everything but then you wanted more 
cause now I'm free 
from what you want 
now I'm free 
from what you need 
now I'm free 
from what you are 
hey 
now I'm free 
from what you want 
now I'm freed 
from what you need 
now I'm free


Like A Stone
On a cold wet
afternoon 
no room for love and emptiness 
by a freeway 
I confess I was lost in the pages 
of a book 
full of death 
reading how we'll die alone 
and if a god will lay to rest 
anywhere we want to go 
in your house 
I long to be 
room by room 
patiently 
I'll wait for you there 
like a stone 
I'll wait for you there 
alone 
and on my death bed 
I will prey 
to the gods and the angels 
like a pagan 
to anyone who will take me to heaven 
to a place 
i would recall 
i was there so long ago 
the sky was bruised 
the world was black 
and there you led me on 
in your house 
I long to be 
room by room 
patiently 
I'll wait for you there 
like a stone 
I'll wait for you there 
alone 
in all I read 
till the day was gone 
and I sat in regret 
in all the things I've done 
for all that I've blessed 
and all that I've wronged 
in dreams till my death 
I will wonder on 
in your house 
I long to be 
room by room 
patiently 
I'll wait for you there 
like a stone 
I'll wait for you there 
alone 
alone


Set It Off
he was standing at the rock 
gathering the fog 
getting there with no directions 
and underneath the arch 
turned into a march 
and there he found a spot to set this f**ker on 
set if off 
set it on my children 
set it right 
set it off 
set it off my children 
alright 
set it off 
set it on my children 
set it fire 
set it off 
set it on my children 
suddenly a shot 
ripped into his heart 
he needed some attention 
and there he played his card 
going into shock 
the last thing that he said was set this f**ker on 
set if off 
set it on my children 
set it right 
set it off 
set it off my children 
alright 
set it off 
set it on my children 
set it fire 
set it off 
set it on my children 
alright 
alright 
alright 
alright 
alright 
alright 
Jesus at the back door 
everything is alright 
all we need is some direction 
everytime the wind blows 
everything you don't know 
turns into a revelation 
it all ends up inside your head 
time is wasted 
set if off 
set it on my children 
set it right 
set it off 
set it off my children 
alright 
set it off 
set it on my children 
set it fire 
set it off 
set it on my children 
alright 
alright 
alright 
alright 
alright 
alright


Shadow Of The Sun
Once upon a time 
I was on a mind to lay your burden down 
and leave you where you stood 
you believed I could 
you'd seen it done before 
I could read your thoughts 
and tell you what you saw 
and never say a word 
but now that is gone 
over with and done 
and never to return 
I can tell you why 
people die alone 
I can tell you why 
the shadow on the sun 
staring at the loss 
looking for the cause 
and never really sure 
nothing but a hole 
to live without a soul 
and nothing to be learned 
I can tell you why 
people go insane 
I can show you how 
you could do the same 
I can tell you why 
the end will never come 
I can tell you on 
the shadow on the sun 
shapes of every size 
move behind my eyes 
doors inside my head 
bolted from within 
every drop of flame 
lights a candle in 
memory of the one 
who lived inside my skin 
I can tell you why 
people go insane 
I can show you how 
you could do the same 
I can tell you why 
the end will never come 
I can tell you on 
the shadow on the sun 
shadow on the sun 
shadow on the sun 
shadow on the sun 
shadow on the sun 
shadow on the sun 
shadow on the sun 
shadow on the sun 
sun 
sun


I Am The Highway
Pearls that swim the rift of me 
long and weary my road has been 
I was lost in the cities 
alone in the hills 
no sorrow I feel 
for anything I feel yea 
I am not your rolling wheels 
I am a highway 
I am not your carpet ride 
I am the sky 
friends and liars 
don't wait for me 
cause I'll get on 
all by myself 
put millions of miles 
under my heels 
and still too close to you 
I feel 
I am not your rolling wheels 
I am the highway 
I am not your carpet ride 
I am the sky 
I am not your blowing wind 
I am the sky here 
I am not your automn moon 
I am the night 
the night 
I am not your rolling wheels 
I am the highway 
I am not your carpet rag 
I am the sky 
I am not your blowing wind 
I am the lightining 
I am not your automon 
I am the night


Exploder
Met a man locked away 
for things he hadn't done 
innocence on a ball and chain 
never feel the sun 
a grin on his face 
roses in his hands 
but when he smiled at me 
I could understand 
if you're free you'll never see the walls 
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall 
if you're out right you never fear the wrong 
if you're head is high you never fear at all 
there was a daughter of a man 
took his life too young 
she swore she'd never do those things 
then did just what he'd done 
and a boy whose gone insane 
voices in his head 
no one knows what they say 
now his mothers dead 
if you're free you'll never see the walls 
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall 
if you're right you never fear the wrong 
if you're head is high you never fear at all 
cuttin me down 
cuttin me down 
there was a man who had a face 
it looked alot like me 
I saw him in the mirror and I fought him in the street 
then when he turned away I shot him in the head 
then I came to realize I had killed myself 
if you're free you'll never see the walls 
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall 
if you're right you never fear the wrong 
if you're head is high you never fear 
cuttin me down and 
cuttin me down


Hypnotize
well if you set your mind to fallin 
I know that you can 
you got everything you wanted 
you've done everything you plan 
so let me make an offer 
I'm only trying to help 
you can make your loan just a little longer 
all you got to do is share the wealth 
oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself 
oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself 
I know you've got problems 
I see it in your eyes 
but if you want to live to see the morning 
leave it up to your brother or you get a surprise 
oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself 
oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself 
yea 
yea 
oh 
yea 
yea 
yea 
oh 
well it's time to see 
you've got to give or your gonna see 
hey it's time to see 
you've got to give if you wanna believe 
you will breathe 
it's time to see 
(oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself) 
(oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself)


Bring 'Em Back Alive
I was on my way 
to the center of the sun 
when I lost my wings 
and I fell into the crowd 
and they carried me 
to a hole in the ground 
and they buried me 
where no one can see 
and no one would be around 
I 
I am a virus 
I 
I live in silence 
I 
I was on my way 
to a city in the clouds 
when I lost my mind 
and I had to settle down 
then I had a dream 
of an island in the sea 
where the lepers die 
where no one survives 
where no one can hear there cries 
I 
I am a virus 
I 
I live in silence 
I 
just like heathens thinking on our feat 
believe in god 
we're one step 
two step 
three steps towards the graveyards 
hello to the memory 
it seems that we forgot 
I 
I am a virus 
I 
I live in silence 
I 
I live in silence 
si...lence...


Light My Way
In my hour of need 
on the sea of grey 
on my knees 
I pray to you 
help me find the bones of the dying dead 
will you light my way 
won't you light my way 
won't you light my way 
won't you light my way 
the bullet is a man 
from time to time he strays 
I compare my life to theirs 
to this I remain 
and unwilling to listen to your answers 
and I'm not ashamed to tell you I need you today 
won't you light my way 
won't you light my way 
won't you light my way 
won't you light my way 
and so when I'm lost 
and I'm tired and depressed 
and when my mind goes astray 
won't you light my way 
don't save it for another day 
don't save it for another day 
hey! don't save it for another day 
hey! don't save it for another day 
hey! don't save it for another day 
won't you light my way 
won't you light my way 
won't you light my way 
won't you light my way


Getaway
The first time I saw you you were 
chasin down 
a cyclone 
all alone in the field 
with railyards and clovers I kept rollin on 
never thought you'd wind up chasin 
me 
I settle down 
I won't hesitate 
to hit the highway 
before you leave me to waste no 
I'll settle up and I'll help you find something to drive 
before you drown yourself 
your tired of walkin 
and you loathe the ground 
the sideway belly touched your feet 
black moons to slowly to hold you down 
with ring hand you take it out on me 
settle down 
I won't hesitate to hit the highway 
before you leave me to waste 
saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive 
before you drive me insane 
so get yourself a car 
drive it all alone 
get ourselves a car 
and ride it on the wind 
get yourself a car 
and drive it all alone 
get yourself a car 
and ride it on the wind yea 
yea we'll settle down 
I won't hesitate to hit the highway 
before you leave me to waste 
settle up and I'll help you find something to drive 
before you drive me insane 
get yourself a car 
and drive it all alone 
get yourself a car 
and ride it on the wind 
get yourself a car 
and drive it all alone 
get yourself a car 
and ride it on the wind


The Last Remaining Light
Roll me on your frozen fields 
break my bones to watch them heal 
drown me in your thirsty veins 
where I watch and I wait 
and pray for the rain 
curl like smoke 
and breathe again 
down your throat 
inside your ribs 
and through your spine 
and every nerve 
where I watch and I wait 
and you too the herd 
and if you don't feel me now 
sun will rise 
still I'm in grief of the coming night 
in the last remaining light 
seven moons and seven suns 
heaven waits for those who run 
down your winter and underneath your waves 
when you watch and you wait 
and pray for the day 
and if you don't believe the sun will rise 
stand alone and greet the coming night 
and in the last remaining light 
and if you don't believe the sun will rise 
stand alone and greet the coming night 
and in the last remaining light 
light 
light 
light
