Explicit Lyrics

Who's song is that remembered, at random serpentine.
Synthetic oils emerging, some other thought it's thinking.
This light shines above the houses on the ground.
This illumination visited upon the whole land.
Unmarked helicopters, hovering. The lord is coming soon.
Here comes the supercopter, here comes the noise it makes.
The demon was an idea, the demon is awake.
Well scratchmark left across the surface of your mind.
This hour now upon us, the hour has now arrived.
Unmarked helicopters, hovering. The lord is coming soon.
Unmarked helicopters, hovering.
They said it was a weather balloon. I know the truth.
I know the whole shabang.
I know the names of men they had to hang.
I let her out the trunk. I heard what she shout at them.
They come to drag her through the dirt by limb.
It goes black, black, black, black, and blacker.
It goes black, black, black, black, and blacker.
It goes black, black, black, black, and blacker.
It goes black, black, black, black, and blacker.
Unmarked helicopters, hovering. The lord is coming soon.
Unmarked helicopters, hovering. They said it was a weather balloon.
It was a weather balloon. It was a weather balloon.
It was a weather balloon. It was a weather balloon.

On The Outside
Sheryl Crow
(S. Crow/J. Trott)

Still close enough to hear you say
"Do as the beautiful one's do,"
Tore up my picture from it's frame
Just wanted to be one of you
Standing on the outside ,looking in
Funny how you see the truth
But the feeling does come back to you

She's crazy as anyone can be
That's what they say.
They say of me wanting love can make one do
Is it my fault
Heredity

Standing on the outside, looking in
State of grace, state of sin
Standing on the outside, looking in
Cannot feed a single thing
The feeling does come back again

This morning feels like yesterday
Yesterday follows me around
Where do you go when no one care
six feet under, under ground

Standing on the outside, looking in
State of grace, state of sin
Standing on the outside, looking in
I cannot feed a single thing
The feeling will come back again, again

Down in The Park
Foo Fighters
(G. Numan)

Down in the park where the mark men meet
The machine will play kill my number
Down in the park with the friend called fire
I was in a car crash, it wasn't the war
But I never been quite the same
Little white lies like I was there

Come to Tom Tom was a place to meet
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans try to run
Oh look there's a red machine
I go outside and look the other way
Wouldn't believe the things they do

Down in the park with the chant of death
The death is somebody's warning
Down in the park with friends of mine
We are not lovers, we are not romantics
We are here to survive
Deal with things but the words never change

Star Me Kitten
William S burroughs & R.E.M
(M. Stipe/ P. Buck/ M. Mills/ B. Berry)

(Speaking) All right, I guess I just picked up a knack of picking up someone else's song,
and putting myself into it. It evolves from Lili Marlene....Marlene Deitricht. Not one of my favorite people, but that's where it came from.
(Music comes in...)
He's got three for the prize of one,
Nothing's free but the guarentee for a life time use
I've changed a lot, and you can't have one.

You know the other two
The bricks that were so thin that you could hear them screeching through the door from our drive way.
Hey love, look into yout glovebox,
what is there for me inside.
This love is tired.
I've changed the locks, but I've misplaced you.

Have we lost our minds
will this never end?
it could depend on your take.
You, me, we used to be on fire
If keys are all the stand between, can I throw in the ring?

No gasoline,
just f^*& me kitten you are wild,
and I'm your possession
Nothing's free so f^*& me kitten, just f*&^ me kitten, you are wild
I'm your possession, so f*&^ me kitten.

Red Right Hand
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
(Harvey/Wydler/Cave)

Take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the track.
Where the vibe doctor looms like a bird of doom as he shifts and cries.
Where secrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires,
Hey man you know your never coming back.
Cross the square, cross the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks.
On the gathering storm comes a tall handsome man,
in a dusty black coat with a Red Right Hand.
He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy.
He'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy.
He'll reach deep into the hole heal your shrinking soul,
But there wont be a single thing that you can do.
He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a ghoul.
They're whispering his name through this disappearing land.
But hidden in his coat is his Red Right Hand.
You don't own no money, he'll get you some.
You don't have no car, he'll get you one.
You don't have no self respect, you feel like an insect,
Well don't you worry buddy `cos here he comes.
Throught the ghetto's and the bayou and the boui and the slums.
His shadow is cast wherever he stands,
stacks of green paper in his Red Right Hand.
You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams.
He'll appear out of nowhere, but he aint what he seems.
You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen.
Hey buddy I'm warning you to turn it off.
He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a ghoul.
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan,
designed and directed by his Red Right Hand.

Thanks Bro
Filters

Taking my chances now
I took mine
You've got something to think about
I don't have the time
You left me hanging there
out on the line
You've fot all those other things
I've just got this one thing

Thanks a lot, way to go, bro;
Thanks a lot, way to go, bro.

When I've up and said this
Which I'll probably regret
And now that I've thrown this in your face
Do I have a case
You let me out nowhere
I'm out of time
You've fot all those other things
I've just got this one thing

Thanks a lot, way to go, bro;
Thanks a lot, way to go, bro.

Man of the Steel
Frank Black

Under the stars each night
I wonder who's stars go there
I'm only driving behind the wheel
I can't go nowhere
I can't seem to get it right

I'm only a man of steel
is there a place...and under the stars tonight
I wonder if someone cares
I'm lonely, that's the way I feel
I can't feel no stars
I've got to feel the wind in my face

There is a place, there is a place
There is a place, there is a place

Unexplained
Meat Puppets

They are not stars burning in the stars at night
No Roman candles that can fly
They are not men, walking on the streets below
What are they really? Nobody really knows.

They are not stars, they are not human
No one knows the reason why
A firefly is not a candle but is a flower in my eyes
And so a rose is not a rose by that of any other name
Things remain unexplained.

I am a tree, dancing on the ocean floor;
The air is water on desert shores
There is a face in on the sunken moon
You can hear this silent tune

They are not stars, they are not human
I don't  know the reason why
A firefly is not a candle but is a flower in my eyes
And so a rose is not a rose by that of any other name
Things remain unexplained.

Deep
Danzig
(G. Danzig)

into your soul, down you must go
hope is not my name, free your soul
here among the lies, you realize
pain is not the same, free your soul

I'm on top six floor, love
I'm on top human bones
I'm gonna break you alone
Free your soul

keep in your eyes, down you will slide
There it resides in your soul
deep down you go, then you will know
love is not my name, damn you should

I'm on top six floor, love
I'm on top human bones
I'm gonna break you alone
Free your soul

Frenzy
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
(D. Hess/ A. Stevenson)

Dig this crazy mood I'm in
Listen to my heart as it starts to spin
When you kiss me I'm in a frenzy

Watch my eyes when you light them up
Listen to me wide like our hearts are up
When you touch me I won't ride up
I'm in a frenzy, I'm in a frenzy.

This love gushes from my heart
Like water from a spout
You build a flame from a tiny spark
You can really knock me out

Heed my mind when your real cool like that
Feed my homw with your love devine
When you say your mind all mine
I'm in a frenzy
This love gushes from my heart
Like water from a spout
You build a flame from a tiny spark
You can really knock me out

Heed my mind when your real cool like that
Feed my homw with your love devine
When you say your mind all mine
I'm in a frenzy

My Dark Life
Elvis Costello & Brian Eno
(E. Costello)

She says nobody wants to believe
You're the same as everyone
What makes me unique
My dark life

There was a knik in the world
Somes that stars you don't know
An invtation East
So you can watch it all crumble in
She came on like a light
And so softly she spoke
You don't know about my dark life

And you think you're a guest
You're a tourist at best
Peering into the corners of my dark life
Now that you tell your dreams from consumptive ballerina's
She'll stand on tiptoes for you
In a gray and taffeta too-too

She stays where she is cause of voyeurs like these
with an accusative look that says my dark life
Rub and that awaits you each bits down an alley
To shake you and to kiss you
and remind you of my dark life

Into the pyres to light
In their peering finale
And bang the tambourine
They are dining on rice paper scenery
See how the villain attracts
Envious glances from everyone
She's waitress by day
It does not bring in much money now
And if strong can see a long set of bells in a line
in the strangest occasion of my dark life
but the fantasy slips as he tips her in cigrattes
she tries to smile very graciously
When she wants to kill him
Now the victory is sweet when you get down on your knees
It's the perfect position kissing western leather
So they came from ugly Texas
And from nameless Tennessee, from peticular Missouri
And from places closer to me
All the cream of heartless sinners
Cheer the carnival is over
The ribbons of all big bandsman
Made America the beautiful

The Hands of Death (Burn, Baby, Burn)
Rob Zombie & Alice Cooper

There is the wicked one
Who steals the mortals sin
I am the only one
About the dreary things

I see the washing
Across the crucfied
He asks of you are chosen
I do not die

I am the moral fire
I see your suffering eyes
Into an empty night
I'll turn it up the light

I see the washing
Across the crucfied
He asks of you are chosen
I do not die
In the hands of death
With the hands of death
I will make it burn

And I can crawl inside
into the heart of cold
The dead and paralyzed
Attrition of the soul

I see the washing
Across the crucfied
He asks of you are chosen
I do not die

In the hands of death
In the hands of death

If You Never Say Goodbye
P.M Dawn
   A.Cordes/D.was/C.Carter

   Hands of a man
   head of a man
   Eyes are a camera shaking everyone's hands
   the circle, and smack their lips
   skies go nlack as the night eclipse

   Stars are new
   Moon without pity as waves of light
   go over the city
   its not a rehersal or special effects
   just the end of the story
   it's what happens next

   I say, I say
   It's coming any second
   I say, I say,
   in the blink of an eye
   I say, I say
   that the men and the women
   I say it's okay if you never say goodbye

   Son of a child
   son of a beast
   As it stretches and slithers away from the beast
   I could dream what does it mean
   Angels devour the scene

   All the people dances and tore up their clothes
   The earth caught on fire and the ocean froze
   It wasn't a fable
   It wasn't a hoax
   for 17 hours
   speaking of jokes

   I say, I say
   It's coming any second
   I say, I say,
   in the blink of an eye
   I say, I say
   that the men and the women
   I say it's okay if you never say goodbye

   I saw a child playing with a gun
   sky is so blue and the air is so cold
   tell me how, gonna light phone
   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (unable to identify the lyrics)

   people went followed their jewels
   Intellect soilders to put in the spools
   It isn't a sentence
   It's not a real world
   it's a blind shawl with a mist for a front

   I say, I say
   It's coming any second
   I say, I say,
   in the blink of an eye
   I say, I say
   that the men and the women
   I say it's okay if you never say goodbye
