FONT:
1. Spoonman 04:23 Feel the rhythm with your hands Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman Speak the rhythm on your own Speak the rhythm all alone, Spoonman Spoonman, come together with your hands Save me, I'm together with your plan Save me All my friends are Indians All my friends are brown and red, Spoonman All my friends are skeletons They beat the rhythm with their bones, Spoonman Feel the rhythm with your hands Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman Thank you, good night people 2. Searching With My Good Eye Closed 04:13 Painted blue across my eyes And tie the linen on And I''m on my way Looking for the paradigm So I can pass it off Is it on my side Is it to the sky Looking to the sky and down Searching for a ground With my good eye closed If I took you for a ride Would you take it wrong Or would you make it right Looking for a pedestal That I can put you on And be on my way Is it to the sky Looking to the sky and down Searching for a ground With my good eye closed Stop you're trying to bruise my mind I can do it on my own Stop you're trying to kill my time It's been my death since I was born I don't remember half the time If I'm hiding or I'm lost But I''m on my way 3. Let Me Drown 04:10 Stretch the bones over my skin Stretch the skin over my head I'm going to the holy land Stretch the marks over my eyes Burn the candles deep inside Yeah you know where I'm coming from Give up to greed, you don't have to feed me Give up to fate, you don't have to need me So let it go, let it go, let it go, won't you let it Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you Slip down the darkness to the mouth Damn the water burn the wine I'm going home for the very last time So throw it away, you don't have to take me Make no mistakes I'm what you make me So let it go, let it go, let it go, won't you let it Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you I see you turn around and burning down The feeling starts to sink I feel the hurt surround me Please dissolve me She's resolved to be Heal my wounds without a trace Seal my tomb without my face I'm going to the lonely place Give up to greed, you don't have to feed me Give up to fate, you don't have to need me So let it go, let it go, let it go, won't you let it Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you 4. Head Down 06:25 We see that smile We see that smile We see that smile on your face Be kind Beware We see that smile on your face We see you laugh We see you dance We take that away every day We see you cry We turn your head Then we slap your face Bow down Bow down Bow down to your life Head down Head down Head down, hide that smile Head high Head high Head high, you've got to smile [x2] We see you try We see you fail Some things never change We hear you cry We hear you wail We steal that smile from your face Bow down Bow down Bow down to your life Head down Head down Head down, hide that smile Head high Head high Head high, you've got to smile Head high Head high Head high like a song you like 5. Outshined 05:13 I got up feeling so down I got off being sold out I've kept the movie rolling But the story''s getting old now I just looked in the mirror Things aren't looking so good I'm looking California And feeling Minnesota So now you know, who gets mystified Show me the power child, I'd like to say That I'm down on my knees today It gives me the butterflies, gives me away Till I'm up on my feet again I'm feeling outshined Someone let the dogs out They'll show you where the truth is The grass is always greener Where the dogs are shedding I'm feeling that I'm sober Even though I'm drinking I can't get any lower Still I feel I'm sinking So now you know, who gets mystified Show me the power child, I'd like to say That I'm down on my knees today It gives me the butterflies, gives me away Till I'm up on my feet again I'm feeling outshined 6. Rusty Cage 04:39 You wired me awake And hit me with a hand of broken nails You tied my lead and pulled my chain To watch my blood begin to boil But I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run Too cold to start a fire I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones I'll take the river down to still water And ride a pack of dogs I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run Hits like a Phillips head into my brain It's gonna be too dark to sleep again Cutting my teeth on bars and rusty chains I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run When the forest burns along the road Like God's eyes in my headlights When the dogs are looking for their bones And it's raining icepicks on your steel shore I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run 7. Burden in My Hand 05:02 Follow me into the desert As thirsty as you are Crack a smile and cut your mouth And drown in alcohol Cause down below the truth is lying Beneath the riverbed So quench yourself and drink the water That flows below her head Oh no there she goes Out in the sunshine the sun is mine [Chorus] I shot my love today would you cry for me I lost my head again would you lie for me I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand I lost my head again would you cry for me Close your eyes and bow your head I need a little sympathy Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone Who isn't me So kill your health and kill yourself And kill everything you love And if you live you can fall to pieces And suffer with my ghost (Chorus) Just a burden in my hand Just another anchor on my heart Just a tumor in my head And I'm in the dark So follow me into the desert As desperate as you are The moon is glued to a picture of heaven And all the little pigs have gone Oh no there she goes Out in the sunshine the sun is mine Sun is mine (Chorus) Would you cry for me 8. Helter Skelter 02:09 When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide Where I stop and turn and I go for a ride Till I get to the bottom and I see you again Yeah, yeah, yeah Do you don't you want me to love you I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you Tell me tell me come on tell me the answer and you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer Go helter skelter helter skelter helter skelter Yeah, hu, hu I will you won't you want me to make you I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you Tell me tell me tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer Look out Helter skelter helter skelter helter skelter Yeah, hu, hu Look out cause here she comes When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide Where I stop and turn and I go for a ride Till I get to the bottom and I see you again Yeah, yeah, yeah Well will you won't you want me to make you I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you Tell me tell me tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer Look out Helter skelter helter skelter helter skelter Yeah, hu, Helter Skelter She's coming down fast Yes she is Yes she is coming down fast 9. Boot Camp 03:16 I must obey the rules I must be tame and cool No staring at the clouds I must stay on the ground In clusters of the mice The smoke is in our eyes Like babies on display Like angels in a cage I must be pure and true I must contain my views There must be something else There must be something good Far away 10. Nothing to Say 04:25 Nothing, nothing, nothing but the one thing Someone said my words are out of balance Nothing to say, you've got nothing to say Dying words I bury everyday Nothing to say, I've got nothing to say Nothing but the one thing You've got nothing, nothing to say Nothing but the one thing Big bad word spell it with four letters Nothing to say, you've got nothing to say Oh my God, your words are out of balance Nothing to say, you've got nothing to say Nothing but the one thing Nothing, nothing You've got nothing, nothing to say Nothing but the one thing Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing 11. Slaves and Bulldozers 09:16 Every word I said is what I mean Every word I said is what I mean Everything I gave is what I need Virgin eyes and dirty looks On what I have and why I took Counting all the hands I shook Now I know why you've been shaking Now I know why you've been shaking So bleed your heart out There''s no more rides for free Bleed your heart out I said what''s in it for me Everything I've held is what I've freed Everything I've held is what I've freed Everything I've shown is what I feel Buying lies and stealing jokes And laughing every time I choke Biding all the time you took Now I know why you've been taken Now I know why you've been taken So bleed your heart out There''s no more rides for free Bleed your heart out I said what''s in it for me 12. Dusty 04:32 I think it's turning back around And I think I like it I think it's turning back around Though I don't know why it is I think it's turning back on me I'm down on the upside I think it's turning back on me Now I'm the good ride And nothing's gonna put me out It's backing down and under I'm down on the upside now It's turning back around Turning back around I think it's coming on the wind Just like you said it I think it's coming on the wind And I'm gonna let it I think it's turning back on me Everything's easy I think it's turning back on me Everything's real to me 13. Fell on Black Days 04:55 Whatsoever I've feared has come to life Whatsoever I've fought off became my life Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile Sunspots have faded And now I'm doing time Cause I fell on black days Whomsoever I've cured I've sickened now Whomsoever I've cradled I've put you down I'm a search light soul they say But I can't see it in the night I'm only faking when I get it right Cause I fell on black days How would I know That this could be my fate So what you wanted to see good has made you blind And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine So don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly Hands are for shaking No, not tying No, not tying I sure don't mind a change But I fell on black days How would I know That this could be my fate 14. Search and Destroy 03:10 I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb I am a world's forgotten boy The one who searches and destroys Honey gotta help me please Somebody gotta save my soul Baby detonates for me Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology ! Ain't got time to make no apology Soul radiation in the dead of night Love in the middle of a fire fight Honey gotta strike me blind Somebody gotta save my soul Baby penetrates my mind And I'm the world's forgotten boy The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy And honey I'm the world's forgotten boy The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy Forgotten boy, forgotten boy Forgotten boy said hey forgotten boy 15. Ty Cobb 02:42 I'm sittin' in a magic hat With smoke and mirrors And tire rubber fires Watch me disappear What made it slow you down Sucking on a ball and chain Another motherfucker goes down the drain Hard headed fuck you all Just add it up to the hod rod death toll Sick in the head sick in the mouth And I can't hear a word you say Not a bit, and I don't give a shit I got the glass, I got the steel I got the love to hate All I need is your head on a stake Hard headed fuck you all Just add it on the hot rod death toll 16. Black Hole Sun 03:01 In my eyes, indisposed In disguise as no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake The sun in my disgrace Boiling heat, summer stench 'Neath the black the sky looks dead Call my name through the cream And I'll hear you scream again Black hole sun Won't you come And wash away the rain Black hole sun Won't you come Won't you come Stuttering, cold and damp Steal the warm wind tired friend Times are gone for honest men And sometimes far too long for snakes In my shoes, a walking sleep And my youth I pray to keep Heaven send Hell away No one sings like you anymore Hang my head, drown my fear Till you all just disappear 17. Jesus Christ Pose 06:24 And you stare at me in your Jesus Christ pose Arms held out like you've been carrying a load And you swear to me you don''t want to be my slave But you''re staring at me like I need to be saved In your Jesus Christ pose Arms held out In your Jesus Christ pose Thorns and shroud like it's the coming of the Lord And I swear to you that I would never feed you pain But you're staring at me like I''m driving the nails In your Jesus Christ pose And you stare at me In your Jesus Christ pose Arms held out like it's the coming of the Lord And would it pay you more to walk on water Than to wear a crown of thorns It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich Than to bury you poor In your Jesus Christ pose
