Track Lyrics
Them Bones Lyrics
[Intro]
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
[Verse 1]
I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave
[Chorus]
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them bones
[Post-Chorus]
Ah! Ah! Ah!
[Verse 2]
Dust rise right on over my time
Empty fossil of the new scene
[Chorus]
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them bones
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Yeah!
[Verse 3]
Toll due, bad dream come true
I lie dead gone under red sky
[Chorus]
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them bones
Dam That River Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I broke you in the canyon
I drowned you in the lake
You, a snake that I would trample
Only thing I'd not embrace
[Chorus]
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
[Verse 2]
I pushed and then you stumbled
I kicked you in the face
You stared at me so hollow
Got to keep that killing pace
[Chorus]
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I burned the place around you
I hit you with a rake
You piss upon my candle
So proving you're a fake
[Chorus]
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
Down in a Hole Lyrics
[Intro: Layne Staley]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Intro: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell, Jerry Cantrell]
Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers in a tomb, in bloom
[Verse 1: Layne Staley]
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart, I decorate it like a grave
Oh, you don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now, a man who won't let himself be
[Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell, Jerry Cantrell, Layne Staley]
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
[Verse 2: Layne Staley]
Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath
[Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell, Jerry Cantrell, Layne Staley]
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
[Bridge: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell, Jerry Cantrell, Layne Staley]
Bury me softly in this womb (oh, I wanna be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you (oh, I wanna be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit (oh, I wanna be inside of you)
Holding rare flowers in a tomb, in bloom (oh, I wanna be inside)
[Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell, Layne Staley]
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
Rooster Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1: Layne Staley]
Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stingin' sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere, mm-mm
Wife and kids, household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere, mm-mm
[Chorus: Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell]
Here they come to snuff the Rooster, aw, yeah
Yeah, here come the Rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell]
Here they come to snuff the Rooster, aw, yeah
Yeah, here come the Rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die
[Verse 2: Layne Staley]
Walkin' tall, machine-gun man
They spit on me in my homeland
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy, mm-mm
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh, God, please, won't you help me make it through? Mm-mm
[Chorus: Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell]
Here they come to snuff the Rooster, aw yeah
Yeah, here come the Rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, you know he ain't gonna die
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
God Smack Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Care not for the men who wonder
Straw that broke your back, you're under
Cast all them aside who care
Empty eyes and dead-end stare
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't you know that none are blind
To the lie, and you think I don't find
What you hide?
[Chorus]
What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun
[Verse 2]
For the horse you've grown much fonder
Than for me, that I don't ponder
As the hair of one who bit you
Smiling, bite your own self, too
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I think that you're not blind
To the ones you left behind
I'll be here
[Chorus]
What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
So be yearning all your life
Twisting, turning like a knife
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Now you know the reasons why
Can't get high, or you will die
Or you'll die
[Chorus]
What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun
So your sickness weighs a ton
And God's name is smack for some
[Outro]
Yeah!
Iron Gland Lyrics
[Interlude: Tom Araya]
Mwahahahaha!
I am Iron... Gland! (Gland)
Hahahaha!
Oohh!
Oh hahahaha
Erah!
Iron!
Hahahahaha
Oww!
Redrum, Red-rum
Angry Chair Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sitting on an angry chair
Angry walls that steal the air
Stomach hurts and I don't care
[Pre-Chorus 1]
What do I see across the way? Hey
See myself molded in clay, oh
Stares at me, yeah, I'm afraid, hey
Changing the shape of his face, oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
Candles red, I have a pair
Shadows dancing everywhere
Burning on the angry chair
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Little boy made a mistake, hey
Pink cloud has now turned to gray, oh
All that I want is to play, hey
Get on your knees, time to pray, oh
[Chorus]
I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah, but I don't mind, I-I-I
Can't find it anywhere, I don't mind, I-I-I
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Corporate prison, we stay, hey
I'm a dull boy, work all day, oh
So I'm strung out anyway, hey
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Loneliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze
Serenity is far away
[Pre-Chorus 4]
Saw my reflection and cried, hey
So little hope that I died, oh
Feed me your lies, open wide, hey
Weight of my heart, not the size, oh
[Chorus]
I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah, but I don't mind, I-I-I
Can't find it anywhere, I don't mind, I-I-I
[Outro]
Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees, time to pray, boy
