Someday your prince will come, someday
I'm sorry it's not me and it's not today.
Don't take my hand, 'cause I can't take your heart away.
I'm sorry, not today.
I will always love you forever,
Just close your eyes and I will kiss you.
Happily ever after.
From now until the end of time.
Or so we say.
I will always love you forever,
Just close your eyes and I will kiss you.
Happily ever after.
From now until the end of time.
They're only words.

I've been in this business for 35 years
And this one was probably made right here
You know I stopped listening, it all sounds the same
My life is going down in flames
I've been in this business for 35 years,
And this one was probably made right here.
The labels are different, the needle's the same
My life is going down in flames - My life!

Face Down

Nobody noticed the absence of the man
but nobody cried when they found him
face down in the sand.

They said it, wrote it down and I read it,
But don't give the human race too much credit.
A pyramid structure and ancient rules,
A modern machine with primitive tools.
Respect is due and it's lent her,
A paid admission but she cannot enter.
And you thought you weren't part of this plan.
Well think again.
As we rationalize and compromise
ourselves In order to victimize.
Convinced, confused, confined and cut up
Behavior and slave to your sit down and shut up.
When'll we learn to burn an effigy,
A paper parody of our humanity,
Feed that fire with greed and jealousy
Ask myself, ask yourself:
What's stopping me?
We've been drugged and thugged and wined and dined,
Stupid and happy and standing in line,
To hear a seductive barrage
that depends on a selfish, destructive collage.
Gone is the longing for figuring why,
You'd better believe restrictions apply.
And you thought you weren't part of this plan.
Well think again.
Metamorphosize and criticize
ourselves In order to realize.
Rinsed, refused, revised and cut up,
Behavior a savior to sit down and shut up.
When'll we learn to burn an effigy,
A paper parody of our humanity,
Feed that fire with greed and jealousy
Ask myself, ask yourself:
What's stopping me?

Go Tell (Version)
01:38
|

Go tell it on the anthill through the tunnels and everywhere
Go tell it on the anthill, that I tried to hurt myself, that I tried to kill myself.
And this blood is mine.
Go tell it make it known, and I'll feed on every word,
Spill it like a vat of ether, feel the thrill of snapping sinew
And the rush of breaking bones.
When I was a preacher, I looked both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me, 'cause I forgot how to pray.
Go crush it on the anthill through the tunnels and sliding downwards
Go tell it to the Christians, that I tried to hurt you all, but I was the first to fall.
And this blood is mine.

Blood on the sand
by your hand
Blood on the sand
at your command
Smoking Camels
spitting fire
an army of footprints
dust in your eyes
100 men
blind in the sun
99 men
and now there are none
100 men
baked in the sun
Tanks tracks turning
gasoline burning
danger is turning
the desert is burning
Smoking camels
spitting fire
an army of footprints
dust in your eyes
100 rounds of lock-and-load freedom
99 shells of democracy
If you are one of the lucky few
our God might save you from yours
our God might save you from yours
God Bless America

Horrible Skull

Beautiful Marilyn, young and thin,
Someday your beauty will come again.
A thing of wonder, skin to envy,
Won't you trade your scars for mine?
It's just how well, we all conceal our dysfunction
And failure to withstand the passing of time.
What an old, horrible skull
What an old, horrible skull!
Tangled by webs, painful threads,
Time unfolding now before me.
Wrapped in finery's decoration
Searching for endless admiration
Living outside ourselves we are,
Helpless and melting in dissolution.
We are born alone, and we die alone.
What an old, horrible skull,
What an old, horrible skull,
What an old, horrible skull!
What an old, horrible skull!
Something happened to Marilyn,
I don't know what and I don't know when.
But time stands still for no one,
Remembers nothing and forgives no one.
We close our eyes, shut our mouths,
Lose ourselves -- dissolve.
Uncaring and cold and slowly frozen
By feelings that scald.
What an old, horrible skull,
What an old, horrible skull!
Horrible skin, horrible bones
Horrible, horrible, horrible skull!
