Track Lyrics

Cochise Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I've been watching, while you've been coughing

I've been drinking life, while you've been nauseous

And so I drink to health, while you kill yourself

And I've got just one thing that I can offer

[Chorus]

Go on and save yourself

And take it out on me

Go on and save yourself

And take it out on me, yeah

[Verse 2]

I'm not a martyr, I'm not a prophet

And I won't preach to you, but here's a caution

You better understand, that I won't hold your hand

But if it helps you mend, then I won't stop it

[Chorus]

Go on and save yourself

And take it out on me

Go on and save yourself

And take it out on me

Go on and save yourself

And take it out on me

Go on and save yourself

And take it out on me, yeah

[Bridge]

Drown if you want, and I'll see you at the bottom

Where you'll crawl on my skin and put the blame on me

So you don't feel a thing

[Chorus]

Go on and save yourself

And take it out on me

Go on and save yourself

And take it out on me

Go on and save yourself

And take it out on me

Go on and save yourself

And take it out on me, yeah

Show Me How to Live Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And with the early dawn moving right along

I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep

And in the aching night under satellites

I was not received

Built with stolen parts, a telephone in my heart

Someone get me a priest

To put my mind to bed, this ringing in my head

Is this a cure or is this a disease?

[Chorus]

Nail in my head from my creator

You gave me life, now show me how to live

Nail in my head from my creator

You gave me life, now show me how to live

[Verse 2]

And in the after birth on the quiet earth

Let the stains remind you

You thought you made a man, you better think again

Before my role defines you

[Chorus]

Nail in my head from my creator

You gave me life, now show me how to live

Nail in my head from my creator

You gave me life, now show me how to live

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]

And in your waiting hands, I will land

And roll out of my skin

And in your final hours, I will stand

Ready to begin

[Chorus]

Nail in my head from my creator

You gave me life, now show me how to live

Nail in my head from my creator

You gave me life, now show me how to live

[Outro]

Show me how to live

Gasoline Lyrics

[Verse 1]

House is haunted

I just want to go for a ride

Out and on

Before I set this room alight

Left alone

Forever, and for crimes unclear

With my patience gone

Someone take me far from here

[Chorus]

Yeah, burning that gasoline

[Verse 2]

New day yawning

Another day of solitaire

House is honest

Clearly more than I can bear

Drag me off

Before I set my world on fire

Out and gone

The sun will never set tonight

[Chorus]

Yeah, burning that gasoline

[Bridge]

No "What fors"

Only a can of red

It says danger on it

I have found another way

[Chorus]

Burning that gasoline

Yeah, burning that gasoline

[Outro]

Burning it all the way

What You Are Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And when you wanted me, I came to you

And when you wanted someone else, I withdrew

And when you asked for light, I set myself on fire

And if I go far away, I know

You'll find another slave

[Chorus]

Now I'm free from what you want

Now I'm free from what you need

Now I'm free from what you are

[Verse 2]

And when you wanted blood, I cut my veins

And when you wanted love, I bled myself again

Now that I've had my fill of you, I'll give you up forever

And here I go, far away, I know you

You'll find another slave

[Chorus]

Now I'm free from what you want

Now I'm free from what you need

Now I'm free from what you are

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Then a vision came to me

When you came along

I gave you everything

But then you wanted more

[Outro]

Now I'm free from what you want

Now I'm free from what you need

Now I'm free from what you are

Hey, now I'm free from what you want

Now I'm free from what you need

Now I'm free from what you are

Like a Stone Lyrics

[Verse 1]

On a cobweb afternoon in a room full of emptiness

By a freeway, I confess I was lost in the pages

Of a book full of death, reading how we'll die alone

And if we're good, we'll lay to rest anywhere we wanna go

[Chorus]

In your house, I long to be

Room by room, patiently

I'll wait for you there like a stone

I'll wait for you there alone

[Verse 2]

And on my deathbed, I will pray to the gods and the angels

Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven

To a place I recall, I was there so long ago

The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on

[Chorus]

In your house, I long to be

Room by room, patiently

I'll wait for you there like a stone

I'll wait for you there alone, alone

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

And on, I read until the day was gone

And I sat in regret of all the things I've done

For all that I've blessed and all that I've wronged

In dreams until my death, I will wander on

[Chorus]

In your house, I long to be

Room by room, patiently

I'll wait for you there like a stone

I'll wait for you there alone, alone

Set It Off Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He was standing at the rock, gathering the flock

And getting there with no directions

And underneath the arch it turned into a march

And there he found the spark to set this fucker off

[Chorus 1]

Set it off, set it off now children, set it right

Set it off, set it off now children, alright

Set it off, set it off now children, set a fire

Set it off, set it off now children

[Verse 2]

Suddenly a shot ripped into his heart

And he lay in need of some attention

And there he played his card, going into shock

The last thing that he said was, set this fucker off

[Chorus 1]

Set it off, set it off now children, set it right

Set it off, set it off now children, alright

Set it off, set it off now children, set a fire

Set it off, set it off now children

[Chorus 2]

Alright, alright, alright

[Bridge]

Jesus at the back door, everything is all right

All we need is some direction

Every time the wind blows

Everything you don't know turns into a revelation

And it all adds up inside your head

Time is wasting

[Chorus 1]

Set it off, set it off now children, set it right

Set it off, set it off now children, alright

Set it off, set it off now children, set a fire

Set it off, set it off now children

[Chorus 2]

Alright, alright, alright

Shadow on the Sun Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Once upon a time

I was of the mind

To lay your burden down

And leave you where you stood

You believed I could

You'd seen it done before

I could read your thoughts

And tell you what you saw

And never say a word

But now all that is gone

Over with and done

Never to return

[Chorus]

And I can tell you why

People die alone

I can tell you I'm

A shadow on the sun

[Verse 2]

Staring at the loss

Looking for the cause

And never really sure

Nothing but a hole

To live without a soul

And nothing to be learned

[Chorus]

And I can tell you why

People go insane

I can show you how

You could do the same

I can tell you why

The end will never come

I can tell you I'm

A shadow on the sun

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Shapes of every size

Move behind my eyes

Doors inside my head

Bolted from within

Every drop of flame

Lights a candle in

Memory of the one

Who lived inside my skin

[Chorus]

And I can tell you why

People go insane

I can show you how

You could do the same

I can tell you why

The end will never come

I can tell you I'm

The shadow on the sun

[Outro]

Shadow on the sun

Sun, sun

I Am the Highway Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Pearls and swine

Bereft of me

Long and weary

My road has been

I was lost in the cities

Alone in the hills

No sorrow or pity

For leaving, I feel, yeah

[Chorus]

I am not your rolling wheels

I am the highway

I am not your carpet ride

I am the sky

[Verse 2]

Friends and liars

Don't wait for me

Cause I'll get on

All by myself

I put millions of miles

Under my heels

And still too close

To you, I feel, yeah

[Chorus]

I am not your rolling wheels

I am the highway

I am not your carpet ride

I am the sky

I am not your blowing wind

I am the lightning

I am not your autumn moon

I am the night, the night

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Yeah! I am not your rolling wheels

I am the highway

I am not your carpet ride

I am the sky

Well, I am not your blowing wind

I am the lightning

I am not your autumn moon

I am the night, the night

[Outro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Exploder Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I met a man locked away for things he hadn't done

Innocence on ball and chain

He'll never feel the sun

Again on his face, or roses in his hands

But when he smiled at me, I could understand

[Chorus]

If you're free you'll never see the walls

If your head is clear you'll never free fall

If you're right you'll never fear the wrong

If your head is high you'll never fear at all

[Verse 2]

There was a daughter of a man who took his life too young

She swore she'd never do the same then did just what he'd done

And a boy who's gone insane, heard voices in his head

No one knows what they say, now his mother's dead

[Chorus]

If you're free you'll never see the walls

If your head is clear you'll never free fall

If you're right you'll never fear the wrong

If your head is high you'll never fear at all

[Verse 3]

There was a man who had a face that looked a lot like me

I saw him in the mirror and I fought him in the street

Then when he turned away, I shot him in the head

Then I came to realize, I had killed myself

[Chorus]

If you're free you'll never see the walls

If your head is clear you'll never free fall

If you're right you'll never fear the wrong

If your head is high you'll never fear

Hypnotize Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well if you set your mind upon it, I know that you can

You've got everything you wanted

You've done everything you planned

So let me make an offer

I'm only trying to help

You can make your load just a little lighter

All you got to do is share the wealth

[Chorus]

Oh no don't you keep your

Good luck to yourself

Oh no don't you keep your

Good luck to yourself

[Verse 2]

Well I know you've got problems

I see it in your eyes

But if you want to live to see the morning

Give it up to your brother

Or you'll get a surprise

[Chorus]

Oh no don't you keep your

Good luck to yourself

Oh no don't you keep your

Good luck to yourself

[Bridge]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Well, it's time to see

You've got to give or you're going to receive

Hey, it's time to see

You've got to give if you want to believe

You won't breathe

[Chorus]

Oh no don't you keep your

Good luck to yourself

Oh no don't you keep your

Good luck to yourself

Oh no don't you keep your

Good luck to yourself

Oh no don't you keep your

Good luck to yourself

Bring Em Back Alive Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was on my way to the center of the sun

When I lost my wings and I fell into a crowd

And they carried me to a hole in the ground

And they buried me, where no one could see

And no one would be around

[Chorus]

I am a virus

I live in silence

[Verse 2]

I was on my way to a city in the clouds

When I lost my mind and I had to settle down

Then I had a dream of an island in the sea where the lepers die

Where no one survives and no one can hear the cries

[Chorus]

I am a virus

I live in silence

[Verse 3]

Just like heathens thinking

On our feet we'll believe in God

With one step, two steps, three steps toward the graveyard

On the high road to remembering

It seems that we forgot

[Chorus]

I am a virus

I live in silence

Light My Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In my hour of need

On a sea of grey

On my knees I pray to you

Help me find the dawn

Of the dying day

[Chorus]

Won't you light my way

[Verse 2]

A bullet is a man

From time to time he strays

I compare my life to this

To this I relate

And I'm willing

To listen to your answers

And I'm not afraid

To tell you I need you today

[Chorus]

Won't you light my way

[Verse 3]

So when I'm lost

Or I'm tired and depraved

Or when my high bullet mind

Goes astray

Won't you light my way

[Bridge]

Don't save it for another day

[Chorus]

Won't you light my way

Getaway Car Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The first time I saw you

You were chasing down

A cyclone

All alone in a field

With rail yards and clovers

I kept rolling on and never thought

You'd wind up chasing me

[Chorus 1]

Settle down, I won't hesitate

To hit the highway

Before you lay me to waste

Saddle up and I'll help you find

Something to drive

Before you drive me insane

[Verse 2]

You're tired of walking and you

Loathe the ground

The sidewalk will barely touch your feet

And life moves too slowly to hold you down

With wringing hands

You take it out on me

[Chorus 1]

Settle down, I won't hesitate

To hit the highway

Before you lay me to waste

Saddle up and I'll help you find

Something to drive

Before you drive me insane

[Chorus 2]

So get yourself a car

And drive it all alone

Get yourself a car

And ride it on the wind

[Chorus 2]

Get yourself a car

And drive it all alone

Get yourself a car

And ride it on the wind

[Chorus 1]

Settle down, I won't hesitate

To hit the highway

Before you lay me to waste

Saddle up and I'll help you find

Something to drive

Before you drive me insane

[Chorus 2]

So get yourself a car

And drive it all alone

Get yourself a car

And ride it on the wind

The Last Remaining Light Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Roll me on your frozen fields

Break my bones to watch them heal

Drowned me in your thirsty veins

Where I'll watch and I'll wait

And pray for the rain

Curl like smoke and breathe again

Down your throat, inside your ribs

Through your spine, and every nerve

Where I watch and I wait

And yield to the hurt

[Chorus]

And if you don't believe the sun will rise

Stand alone and greet the coming night

In the last remaining light

[Verse 2]

The seven moons and the seven suns

Heaven waits for those who run

Down your winter and underneath your waves

Where you watch and you wait

And pray for the day

[Chorus]

And if you don't believe the sun will rise

Stand alone and greet the coming night

In the last remaining light

[Chorus]

And if you don't believe the sun will rise

Stand alone and greet the coming night

In the last remaining light

[Outro]
