-Darkness-
I see people sitting on the grass
Waiting for the night
In the dark, when the stars don't shine
In the night, drinking the cousins of wine
There they hide hoping to find their rest
Meriads of eyes that seem to stare
In the dark night creatures fly
Flitering through the night
Some there walk, that want soon to die
Some insanity stricken, nightmares in their minds
The fallen Angel's, that walk the streets
The lost souls, they all want release
(In the dark }Hidden Darkness
In the darkness }Silent shadows
They are in the shadows }Hidden in the night
Dancing in darkness
Bats flying over the water
Feasting in the night
In the dark, when the moon is black
In the night, there is time to get back
There were wars, when the goblins walked
Now by backstab, the generations mocked
The ones that are deeply hurting
No longer seem to care
Through the world, they tried to have might
To feel no pain, now they'll walk the night
Black trees swaying, in the singing wind
The thoughts that echo, in the minds they torment
(chorus)
(solo)
(chorus)
Dancing in the dark
Dancing in the night
They dance in the shadows
Dancing in the night

The Animal

I like to live in a slum
I like to suck on dirty thumbs
I like to walk on a ghetto
I like to eat a bunch of nettles
And dirty is the man who lives in the county
And dirty is the man who lives in the city
And dirty is the man who lives in the country
And dirty is the man who walks on the earth
Out of sight I peel off skin like parchment
Out of sight I vomit on apartments
Out of sight I devour poor and rich man
Out of sight I'll leave you in the ditch man
And dirty is the wolf who walks in sheeps clothing
And dirty is the thief scheming and loathing
And dirty is the you know what we said
And dirty is the man who walks on the earth
((Solo) of some kind)
My life always hunter and hunted
My life my growth is rarely stunted
My life was spent thriving in the rubble
My life was spent trying to be subtle
And dirty is the man who rides with me
And dirty is the man who gambles gin rummy
And dirty is the man who lives on the highway
And dirty is the man who walks on the earth
(Musical ending)
Dirty, Dunder, dusty, rigid, rusty

A Swiftly Fading Moment
03:23
|
|||
|
Another day, another night
You are riding through your life
And you are you
You keep flaming up and going down
Down, down, down
Hanging around at night
Your wasted again
You want to stop but you are gone
Gone, gone, gone
It's just a swiftly fading moment
Only stuck at a point in time
The good times always melt to quickly
Like a snow flake in the sky
Another darkness another light
You have found your second sight
And you are you
Your never going down
Down, down, down
Tranquil days in the light
Your like way back when
Your gonna be gone
Gone, gone, gone
It's just a swiftly fading moment
Why does everything go so fast
The good times always melt too quickly - now
Like a dream when night is past
Solo
It's just a swiftly fading moment
Seeking love or something close
The good times always melt to quickly
You will reap as you will sow

After I'm Gone
05:35
|
|||
|
There was a castle where there were many knights
With a table made of stone near
They thought they were the one to fight the good fight
But the dark one didn't fear
The king had a dream of a land so just
The fair queen felt so alone here
Then she kissed the sliver knight
Her name was Guinevere
You don't always have a choice about what you find
When you set out on your own
Everywhere you turn you'll be running out of time
I guess it's all just rock n roll
But I just keep on moving along
And I just keep on singing my songs and they go like
And the road winds on & on & on
Will the road keep going after I'm gone
There was a battle in the fog
When the dark one war he fight
There was a hush before the start
The soldiers fought with might
The battle seemed to never end
It went on through the night
A sword to the skull a spear to the heart
The king and dark one stood in sight
Of a place once named Camelot
You don't always have a choice about what you find
When the dark lands where you roam
Everywhere you turn you'll be running out of time
I guess it's all just rock n roll
But I just keep on moving along
And I just keep on singing my songs and they go like
And the road winds ever on & on & on
Will it keep on going after I'm gone
All the kings plans seemed to be undone
Despite how they fought for it
The queen vowed to be a nun
The silver knight became a hermit
And I wonder as I travel on
Will it keep on going after I'm gone

Talk to the Orangutan
04:38

A orangutan was up in a tree
I couldn't see it but it could see me
It said
Do The Orangutan
Everyone do The Orangutan
You hold your right arm
In a L over your head
Your left arm in a L
By your side in stead
Keep your hands open make a switch
Go back and forth its leveritch
Do The Orangutan
Everyone do The Orangutan
Shake what you mamma gave you
Bring it bring
The orangutan was moving to the sound
I was dancing down on the ground
Then the ape came down from up high
I said how you doing guy
It said
Show all the humans to
Do The Orangutan
Everyone do The Orangutan
Do your dance on whatever grounds
Here is a bunch of my animal sounds
Do The Orangutan
Everyone do The Orangutan
You hold your right arm
In a L over your head
Your left arm in a L
By your side in stead
Keep your hands open make a switch
Go back and forth its leveritch
Do The Orangutan
Everyone do The Orangutan

Suicide Sally
04:38
|
|||
|
People would shout when she walked down the street
She was a friend to everyone she'd meet
Everyone wanted to marry her
She wanted people to bury her
She would try almost anything
There was to smoke snort love or drink
She thought the other side was better
She seduced you if you let her
Suicide Sally was the star of the show
Smile of life frown of death in her soul
She said its gotta be better than here
When we sat after drinking beer
I met her on the way to a party
She said to follow her in 79 Mary
I was with her often but rarely sober
Some times when we were hung over
She whispered in my ear each night
I would whisper back its alright
I got to where I couldn't take it
I finally started to die from it
Sally felt hopeless but she faced the day
She knew the right thing was to stay
Suicide Sally was the star of the show
Smile of life frown of death in her soul
She said its gotta be better than here
When we sat after drinking beer
I will never forget the pain
I felt as I watched her cry
She was always saying it again
Till the day we said goodbye
Suicide Sally was the star of the show
Smile of life frown of death in her soul
She said its gotta be better than here
When we sat after drinking beer

The Flower Boy King
03:00
|
|||
|
When he came to High School
He thought it was all a pop cliche
Where boys impressed boys then
Met the girls they would marry some day
One day there were these girls
Who made flowers into a big ring
After that they crowned him
Then said he was the flower boy king
The Flower Boy King
Didn't know what he wanted to be
The Flower Boy King
Went away from there then he was free
When school was out he roamed
The different areas of his land
Working to try to make it
Missing being a boy when he was a man
He found love friendship pain
A fleet of ships in shallows over rocks
Each band made no money
Then his friend said he was in a box
The Flower Boy King
Lived in the East Side city
The Flower Boy King
Went away from there then he was free
The Flower Boy King
Was full of love
The Flower Boy King
Looked to Above
The Flower Boy King
Still would believe
The Flower Boy King
Went away from there then he was free
The Flower Boy King
Left it all to sink in the sea
The Flower Boy King
Went away from there then he was free

Seventynine Mary

Living east of Emerald City
There are roads I found
People cruise and drive around
Girl your so flirty and pretty
Would you go to the dance with me
We can move on the floor to the sound
While we hear the woofers pound
I know what you need is to be free
Seventynine Mary
How fast could you go
Seventynine Mary
How I loved you so
Drove around in the city
Cruising when I could every night and day
In a flashy car white fast and pretty
Come and take a ride with The Flower Boy King
Rim wheels spinning quickly
Seventynine Mary where are you today
Seventynine Mary
How fast could you go
Seventynine Mary
How I loved you so
I was a pizza driver with Mary
I was chased by the police with Mary
I clocked horses speeds with Mary
I had guns pointed at us with Mary

Tricycles and Jackknives
04:12
|
|||
|
We were four years old that first day we met
He said do you like the people I don't know exactly what I said
We decided to go outside and go for a ride
On some plastic tricycles
We rode across the street to ride the sidewalk fo a while
Before too long time goes by
Can I give you some advice
Before too long time goes by
You don't know how long you'll have your friends so try to be nice
We were stopped by two older boys one took his jackknife out
The one said to the other come on take your knife out
We took off pedaling as fast as we could go
I started crying cause I was lost then in the end
Went back with my future bro
In nineteenseventythree
The friendship began for me
Before too long time goes by
Can I give you some advice
Before too long time goes by
You don't know how long you'll have your friends so try to be nice
It's been a long time since nineteen seventy three
We even are friends today on The Wrong Side Of History
(Solo)
Before too long time goes by
Can I give you some advice
Before too long time goes by
You don't know how long you'll have your friends so try to be nice

Welcome to my house, your the master I'm the slave
Welcome to my house, stay until you die
Welcome to my house, tell me the refreshments you crave
Welcome to my house, you will not see me cry
My House
My House, has a nuclear phone
My House
My House, I hate being alone
My House
My House, was a neighborhood clone
My House
My House, was bought with a loan
My House
Welcome to my house, my head is in the microwave
Welcome to my house, please dont say goodbye
Welcome to my house, we are men so must be brave
Welcome to my house, I'm a really chatty guy
My House
My House, has an electric chair
My House
My House, it's the only place I can bare
My House
My House, has conditioned air
My House
My House, the place I brush my hair
My House
(Solo)
Welcome to my house (× 4)
