As the wind Sculpts the Sand
A young child opens up his hands
As the Child takes to his knee
The Sand it sets him free
Don't Let Him Go
Don't sell his soul
He carries in his heart
The One thing we don't know
Desert Child
Desert Child
Desert Child
Desert Child
Desert Child
And as he wanders on
He Brings with him the dawn
And as he Fades away
He ends the Brightest day
Don't let him go
Don't cease to know
He carries in his heart
The dyng sunsets glow
Desert Child
Desert Child
Desert Child
Desert Child
Desert Child
He sculpts the sand
And he opens his hand
He takes to his knee
And he sets you free
He sculpts the sand
And he opens his hand
He takes to his knee
And he sets you free
He sculpts the sand
And he opens his hand
He takes to his knee
And he sets you free
Desert, Desert Child

Fresh Water Coming Down On Me
Clean Air and Room to Breathe
Decisions to Make
Choices to Fake
Coke or Pepsi Damit they're all the same
New Life Consisting of an Almost human Nature
Fresh Water Coming Down On Me
Clean Air and Room to Breathe
Decisions to Make
Choices to Fake
Coke or Pepsi Damit they're all the same
New Life Consisting of an Almost human Nature
I hear the waves
I can see the sand
I can feel time
Clicking by fast
oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
New Life Consisting of an Almost human Nature

A thin strand of wire connects our Hearts
A Belgian funeral pyre that I'm above
I dont know if you can hear my pain on the phone
I cant tell if you know that Im alone
A line across flag poles may tear us apart
But When I try to call you up
There's a busy signal in your Heart
There's a busy signal in your Heart
There's a busy signal in your Heart
There's a busy signal in your Heart
I can not kiss you, there's miles between our lips
I feel like a rat caught on a sinking ship
A vast expanse of void keeps me from you
The coming of the earth hides me from view
My memories caress you like a work of art
But when I try to call you up
There's a busy signal in your Heart
There's a busy signal in your Heart
There's a busy signal in your Heart
There's a busy signal in your Heart
The days slide by like clouds on the front of a storm
And I'll always have your smile to keep me warm
But when I dial you up, my mind goes cold
This conversation breakdown is getting old
I'd kiss you and try to make it better but I don't know where to start
And Baby when I call you up
There's a busy signal in your Heart
There's a busy signal in your Heart
There's a busy signal in your Heart
There's a busy signal in your Heart

A dusty unused road narrows into nothing at all
With no definition, no place in life, No End
A lonesome set of spurs jingle through the darkness
Looking for a fight, a fancy set of boots, a friend
And some Duke Ellington classic howls off in the distance
A scratchy dirty sound, A scratchy dirty sound so memory made
The quiet porcelain throat parts wide and spews forth blood
Another, just another victim of the blade
Everything so normal, Everything so warped
Everything so happy, People are sad
Everyone has laughter, Everyone has hate
Everyone so childish, Be so mad
17 people eat a cherry pie
As a symbol of God, God and Heaven
And then there's HFG, the independent guy
He gets a twinkie from the local 7-11
Everything so normal, Everything so warped
Everything so happy, People sad
Everyone has laughter, Everyone has hate
Everyone so childish, Be so mad
I said, I said
Everything so normal, Everything so warped
Everything so happy, People sad
Everyone has laughter, Everyone has hate
Everyone so childish, Be so mad, mad

We call this Home
We call this Home
We call it Home
We gotta get back Home
We call it Home
We call it Home
We call it Home
Yeah!
Faces unseen since many years ago
I come back to this place but for what I do not know
For years I spent my life here unhappy and alone
I tried to deny it but I call this Home
Home
We call this Home
Home
We gotta get back home
We call this Home
We call this Home
We call this Home
Yeah!
When I was a young boy
I tried to see this world
But all I seen in this dam place is people fake and scorned
I don't try to tell them how it is
They'll find out on their own when there is noone to let them in
Home
We call this Home
Home
We gotta get back home
We gotta get back Home
We gotta get back Home
Home
Yeah!
Home
Home

This is our Home
We call it Home
We call it Home

We gotta get back Home

I Can Not Help Myself
04:07

Whether it's nighttime or daytime, I think of you
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, I just want to say
That your in my nature, I can not help myself
Thursday, Friday, Sunday.... Oops I skipped a day
I can not help myself, No, I can not help myself
Whether it's a weekday, a weekend, or All the time
If you're far away or close by, you fill my mind
I want to keep my nature bottled up in a jar
Thursday, Friday, Sunday .....Oops I skipped a day
I can not help myself, No, I can not help myself
Across the Oceans and Far off Seas, I'd swim for you
Continents and Islands floating below me
I found my nature in a bottle, floating next to me
Thursday, Friday, Sunday.... Oops I skipped a day
I can not help myself, No, I can not help myself
I can not help myself, No, I can not help myself

In A Nutshell
02:55
|
|

Mildly burned in an auto crash
Lying naked on the floor
Walking backwards in a time warp
And Swiftly floating towards the door
This sounds like something yesterday
Thrown away but wanted next year
Never has there been so few religion
The worlds now governed by fear
oh In a nutshell
Oh In a Nutshell
We're doomed, doomed to burn in hell
In a nutshell
Not a lot of people like each other
Too many guns, Too many bombs
Nobody wants to know their heritage
Nobody loves their Moms
Too many streets going nowhere
Too many old men running the world
Too many lovers full of hatred
And me stuck without a girl
oh In a nutshell
Oh In a Nutshell
We're doomed, doomed to burn in hell
In a nutshell
oh In a nutshell
Oh In a Nutshell
We're doomed, doomed to burn in hell
In a nutshell

Lights Out, Lights Out
Lights Out, Lights Out
Close the window, Shut the door
Don't let the spirits go free anymore
Throw the switch, Drop the line
You will see nothing but whats left inside
What's left inside
Lights Out, Lights Out
Lights Out, Lights Out
Close the window, Shut the door
Don't let the spirits go free anymore
Throw the switch, Drop the line
You will see nothing but whats left inside
What's left inside
Lights Out, Lights Out
Lights Out, Lights Out

Near But Far

Boxed by the sun with nowhere left to run
And where the hell are you
Driving thru misty dreams and hazy drowning screams
Just a bag of tears to get me thru
Do you remember talking at dawn dreading moving on
Why must I grow old
Six feet under the earth you've got to beat it gotta prove your worth
Before your flesh goes cold
You've gotta make it count
You've gotta know what it's all about
You've got to run scream laugh and shout
And do it right
The sea breeze cools my mind
But there's something I've got to find
Oh, and show to you
Pictures in the sand, Come on girl take my hand
And travel with me off into the blue
A beer can torn in half some how makes me laugh
The little things in life have t be real
Watch the waves hit the shore you know there will always be more
And most important of all you've got to want to feel
You've gotta make it count
You've gotta know what it's all about
You've got to run scream laugh and shout
And do it right
And do it right

Shut Up And Kiss Me
04:39
|
|

I'm a puppy baby take me home tonight
Be a lover to me until the morning light
A little Bowl of milk and a pillow for my head
I'll die the little death and hold you in the bed
Once I had a dream that I saved you from a fire
I saw you wearing my shirt gazing in my eyes
You leaned and blew across a tankard full of tea
You touched my outstretched hand and then you came to bed with me
When you look into my eyes
You see a cauldron full of lies
I put the lid on just for you
Everything I tell you is true.....But that's Love!
I stand outside your door freezing in the gale
Love in wintertime is skin on skin so pale
The stars beneath our feet are reflected in the ice
And when I waken there I crave eternal night
When you look into my eyes
You see a cauldron full of lies
I put the lid on just for you
Everything I tell you is true.....But that's Love!
I cannot talk to you my heart is on my teeth
I cannot listen dear I read into your speech
A passing hug will leave me tightened for the day
It's just that first kiss that seems so far away.....far away
And when you touch my burning face
It leaves lines I cannot erase
We talk like friends and share a smoke
Please just shut up and kiss me!

Silver

There's a silver suited jester
He's on a neon screen
And he is turning to black
Will he ever make it home
There's a whorehouse with sealed doors
And there's no red light on your face
But there's an impulse of one-night stands
Will we ever ever ever see the light come back on
And who will be there to know
When aurora borialis and the black sun both glow
Who will be there to know
When the silver suited jester finds his neon home
And the lights in the whore house they come back on
The man on my doorstep seems to crawl away
And the phone stops ringing, stops ringing all day
It stops ringing... all day
Ther's an old man he's on my doorstep
He's asking He's begging He's pleading... He wants some milk
But I will not give it to him
Because he'll never, never, never crawl away
And who will be there to know
When aurora borialis and the black sun both glow
Who will be there to know
When the silver suited jester finds his neon home
And the lights in the whore house they come back on
The man on my doorstep seems to crawl away
And the phone stops ringing, stops ringing all day
It stops ringing... all day

She's my little survivor.
From day to day and play to play
Just tryin' to get by
Won't let me lay down beside her
From love to lust then back to friends
Why do I always find myself cryin'
It's because...
This close to the Edge, There are No Rules
This close to the Edge, We are always Fighting
This close to the edge we are just tyin' to get by.....to get by
I miss watchin' the people walk by
I miss pullin' over to let you drive
Most of all I miss just talkin' sweet time gone by
Don't wonder off too far
Where did you go now
Because...
This close to the Edge, There are No Rules
This close to the Edge, We are always Fighting
This close to the edge we are just tyin' to get by.....to get by
She's my little survivor

All I see is nickels and dimes
While the tax man is doing just fine
I not gettin' any younger
I'll work til I'm six feet under
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
I go to work every day
I work my hands away
I call my boss all kinds of names
I play his circular games
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
I've got a 401k
All it does is sit in the bank all day
I dont have time to spend it
I dont have time to spend it
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
Tradin' time for money
