BLUE IN THE FACE
"11:59"
Somewhere else it's still yesterday
In a little while it'll be right now
Continuum of both time and space
A disruption impossible
Go back a year now and where are we
Twelve months away from where we're going to be
Procrastination's not happening
So why put off today what you can do in a minute
Maybe it's tomorrow right now
11:59
After it changes before your eyes
We're all metamorphosised
It's automatic baby
You're living in the now
And the cycle runs it's course
Just like it's done a thousand times before
What comes to pass must fall away
Tomorrow seems like it was only yesterday
Maybe it's tomorrow right now
11:59
I don't know what's to follow
I'm in the now
11:59
"IMPRINT"
One step I make an imprint
Two steps it's a commitment
Three steps I'm not done yet
Draw my other leg up and the pace is set
Gotta believe in what's real
You gotta go with what you know
You can leave here with a good feeling
You let them know you told them so
Jesus Christ
And heaven's always been there
Gotta believe in what's real
You gotta go with what you know
One step I make an imprint
Two steps it's a commitment
Three steps I'm not done yet
Draw my other leg up and the pace is set
Gotta tell you what I feel
Although your tank is running low
Over the split line for real
Pat the hood...you're good to go
Hear you now
You're cut from the cords of the wicked
Gotta believe in what's real
You gotta move on down the road
One step I make an imprint
Two steps it's a commitment
Three steps I'm not done yet
Draw my other leg up and the pace is set
"MILLION PEOPLE"
How could I be so happy
And still feel so messed up inside
I've broken all the records
For the unhappiest man alive
And spending time with you is like
Having a needle in my eye
So how could I be so happy
And still feel so messed up inside
Maybe I was wrong for thinking
There was something there for me
And maybe it's not about the truth
Cause the truth couldn't set me free
And maybe there's a million people
Who could feel the way that I do
But it doesn't meatter to me now
I still got a thing for you
How could I keep on laughing
Just to know we didn't try
To put out all the bridges
But instead we stoke them and feed the fire
And over my shoulder's the smoke
And the gloom that hangs in the air
So how could I keep on laughing
When I know the bridge isn't there
Maybe I was wrong for thinking
There was something there for me
And maybe it's not about the truth
Cause the truth couldn't set me free
And maybe there's a million people
Who could feel the way that I do
But it doesn't meatter to me now
I still got a thing for you
"HOLLOWBODY"
Keep it on the fast track
How do you match this
But I digress
You said it best
"I love that song from Mexico"
Any effort of the last ditch
Could never match this
But then pullin' the plug
Was a stab in the back you missed
And you got a dark side
With the slighest of hands
I think I understand
And I don't mind
I'm not afraid to let you know
You got a hollowbody
What does it take to fill the void
Another hollowbody
I'm not afraid to to tell you so
You got a hollowbody
What does it take to fill the void
Another hollowbody
You're spillin' out
You though the bleeding would never end
You're empty now
And emptiness is not your friend
And you're spillin' it out
You been around enough to know
Can you figure it out...you're empty now...are you empty
I'm not afraid to let you know
You got a hollowbody
What does it take to fill the void
Another hollowbody
You gonna take or lose control
Without no other body
I'm not afraid to let you know
You got a hollowbody
I thought the feeling would never go...away
"I DON'T CARE"
Rollin' back your eyes
Holdin' back your head
Learning about you
From nothing that you said
Could be further from the truth
I wasn't that impressed
Rollin' back your eyes
And stickin' out your chest
I didn't hold my breath
And when you came around
The answer's nowhere to be found
You accent the negative
All this has got to give
Rollin' back your eyes
Holdin' back your head
Rollin' back your eyes
And stickin' out your chest
I don't care about you
You don't care about me
Standing alone like I couldn't see
You got something to prove
What on earth could that be
Makes you feel better even though you couldn't be
I don't care about you
You don't care about...
Rollin' back your eyes
Holdin' back your head
Learning about you
From nothing that you said
Could be further from the truth
I wasn't that impressed
Rollin' back your eyes
And stickin' out your chest
I don't care about you
You don't care about me
Standing along like I couldn't see
You got something to prove
What on earth could that be
Makes you feel better even though you couldn't be
You wear me out
We don't belong
Correct me if I was wrong
I don't care about you
You don't care about...
"FREIGHTRAIN"
It ain't right
Feel like I just fell off a freight train
A hundred miles from nowhere
Face down on the desert floor
Right about the time
You need something to lean on
Another cactus comes along
It ain't there...
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Withering like grapes on the vine
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
The steeper grade, the uphill climb
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Hold me up 'cause I'm falling
I don't mind
But I'm even wearing the wrong damn clothes today
I lost my mind
Is this town even here, you know
I think I lost my...mind
Travel down the tracks
Wait for the train to come
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Withering like grapes on the vine
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
The steeper grade, the uphill climb
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Hold me up 'cause I'm falling
"TRACK NUMBER 7"
Make no mistake
You can't get a break
When you're up to your neck in it
Here comes the man
The shit hits the fan
And everything goes with it
Make haste
There's nothing left to say
They'll pull you down deeper in it
Get up-get up
Get up and unload
You got to carry on with it
Who is right
We'll survive
Stinks at best
When shit's on your breath
But I know you been swimming in it
Here comes the judge
To flush out the sludge
Penalized, fined and now the sentence
Baby, baby when the levee breaks
I'm gonna blow up
You get it
Get up-get up
Get up and unload
Or you're gonna get buried in it
Who is right
We'll survive
"EVENOUT"
Expression is by sometimes consequence
Little more than common sense again
I watch you all build up the fall
Of my betterment
With greener grass
But taller fence
Get us some confetti here
We had us a banner year
I see your garbage
Close to your common sense
When in doubt
You gotta throw the whole thing out
Even it out
Hold me in the balance
Hold your breath
Running from nothing
Scared to death
You say your controller's broken
Can do nothing at the moment
We balance out
Lower the scales and take the ride down
I see your garbage
Close to your common sense
When in doubt
You gotta throw the whole thing out
Even it out
"INSIDE OUT"
I turned inside out today
I went and tripped and fell
Saw the eyes that would follow me
Said take a look at yourself
Getting over the shock and pain
Nerves are twitchin' all over me
I turned inside out today
I turned inside out today
You made me, you made me
Suffering's got an end
But not for me
What in the world's come over me
Just my guts that I can see
Split down the middle and let 'em go
Spillin' 'em out, spillin' 'em out
A bonafide science book transparency lift
Cross ref the bones and all that shit, you get it
I turned inside out today
I feel exposed...I have to be
Fine fine doin' fine said I'm doin' fine now
You made me, you made me
Cutting into the skin what's left of me
You made me
KOKOKOKO
Right on, right on, right on, right on
Fine fine doin' fine said I'm doin' fine now
You made me, you made me
Cutting into the skin what's left of me
Experiment then it went catastrophe
You made me
"THE HAND"
I get a rise outta people who come
In walkin' sideways
i have to ask 'em nicely
What do I get from the hand
With an empty platter exactly
Proactive not reactive
Smiling teeth in a laughing mouth is
Sublety for two
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
'Cause now you think the world is mine
But is there anything for you
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
I realize your position is phony
While you try to guide me
There's something wrong with my way
Offer up the world to me
On an empty platter exactly
Proactive not reactive
All this muck and mire walking
All the black and blue
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
'Cause I've been taken for a ride and now it's
Comin' back to you
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
Proactive not reactive
Smiling teeth in a laughing mouth is
Sublety for two
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
All this muck and mire walking
All the black and blue
Say you want a little
Say you want a little
What do I get from the hand
With an empty platter exactly
"BIG SHOVE"
I met my real love
I let my eyes close
I got the big shove
Entirely exposed
You and me were the mountains
Falling into the sea
We held each other together
Strenght lies between you and me
It's hard for me to turn my back
I been thinking of you as my friend
I just want to thank you now
For making my decision
I've done everything I can think of
But I can't do it anymore
I've thought of everything I can think of
But I'm not thinking anymore
Anymore...Anymore...
