Revelations Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know what to do, you know what I did
Since you know everything, just clue me in
I am such a wreck, I am such a mess
I know what I know, why don't you fill in the rest?
I will bring it down, I will make it bad
While you're feeling proud, why don't you help me?
[Chorus]
Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't want to live without
Your revelations, revelations
[Verse 2]
You know what to say, you know what I said
You know what I dream sleeping in my bed
You hold all the keys, you know all the roads
Why don't you guide me in if I'm such a lost soul?
I'll spin it 'round, I will make you ill
Since I'm so broken down, why don't you fix me?
[Chorus]
Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now (I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't want to live without (Don't want to live without)
Your revelations
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I am haunted when I am sleeping
Try to give without receiving
It's in the apple bite (It's in the apple bite)
It's in the days and nights (It's in the days and nights)
In the afterlife we'll meet
[Outro]
Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now (I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't want to live without (Don't want to live without)
Your revelations
Such a shame, such a shame
That I wouldn't know by now
Cut me in, I don't want to live without (Don't want to live without)
Your revelations, revelations
One and the Same Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, they don't hate you, you know they love you
But they're gonna come kill you
They don't mean you any harm
It's just what they do
Could be your mother, could be your father
Or your best friend in the world
[Chorus: Cornell, Commerford]
But just like blood in rain
Love and pain are one and the same
One and the same
Just like blood in rain
Love and pain are one in the same
One and the same
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
You wear a mask with a target
Keep your enemies closer
You fall in love from a great height
Now the easy part's over
Choose your battles, not your soldiers
You're never sure of their colors
[Chorus: Cornell, Commerford]
But just like blood in rain
Love and pain are one and the same
One and the same
Just like blood in rain
Love and pain are one and the same
One and the same
Hey, hey, hey
Hey
[Solo]
[Bridge: Cornell, Commerford]
Just like blood in rain
Love and pain are one and the same
Just like blood in rain
Love and pain are one in the same
One in the same
[Chorus: Cornell, Commerford]
Just like blood in rain
Love and pain are one and the same
One and the same
Just like blood in rain
Love and pain are one and the same
One and the same
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Sound of a Gun Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the here and now I wait
Down among the young and the old
With the moon and the ground I play
With my children in my home
This is for the daughters and sons of forgotten ones
Learning how to stand
This is for the innocent unknowns
Buried in the sand
[Chorus]
All running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
Until you're weary
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
[Verse 2]
From the crack in the blackness I wake
It's getting closer every night
In my city, the playground is a battleground
Between the wrong and the right
I could run free as a child, I was safe and wild
Naked and unarmed
Now I'm grown and safe in my home
But some will never stop
[Chorus]
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
Until you're weary
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
The open mouth of the city
Swallowed up the town
With that same old concrete
That I still walk down
And it seemed they put a shine
On this place when I was young
Or maybe I just don't see it now
[Chorus]
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
Until I'm weary
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
[Outro]
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from the sound of a gun
Running from, running from the sound of a gun
Until We Fall Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walk the streets without regret
I stood alone and watched myself fall apart
Answered the voices in my head
Slipped through the chainlink of a broken heart
[Chorus]
And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
And stroke your feathers 'till we fall
Back down again
[Verse 2]
Bought everything that sounded good
I understand that I've been misunderstood
[Chorus]
And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
And stroke your feathers 'till we fall
Until we fall
Until we fall back down again
Back down again
[Bridge]
What do you feel before you think?
What do you see before you blink?
Who do you battle in your dreams?
Who strokes your feathers 'till you scream?
[Chorus]
And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
And stroke your feathers 'till we fall
Until we fall
Until we fall back down again
Yeah, back down again
Original Fire Lyrics
[Chorus]
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
[Verse 1]
With a pen in one hand, taking a stand, drugged on kerosene
84 and 5 would find us something to believe
Right or wrong with dirty hands on wires
Singing songs in discord choirs
Screaming in Braille
No temptress prize could ever yield anything so real
[Chorus]
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
[Verse 2]
Golden soldiers born much older than they'll ever live to be
Diving into a sea of hands in a long forgotten city
Here the rain falls forever after
And the swinging vines hang dead in rafters
Blood rush to your head induces laughter endlessly
[Chorus]
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and long gone but the riot inside moves on
[Bridge]
Can't explain that it was something to see
Can't contain something ever real, ever real
Hey
[Solo]
[Bridge]
Can't explain that it was something to see
Can't contain something so ever real, ever real
[Chorus]
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
The original fire has died and gone but the riot inside moves on
Broken City Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My city sleeps by the side of a freeway
A city of scraps
In the winter time she wore a yellow coat
Now there's nothing on her back
If a building falls you wouldn't care to notice
Unless you were in it
And then no one cares about climbing stairs
Nothing at the top no more
[Chorus]
Outside tripping in the broken city
Outside kicking in the broken city
I watch her bleed and crack
Outside tripping in the broken city
Outside kicking in the broken city
There's nothing wrong with that
[Verse 2]
Now the snow falls down
Like it's falling on an ocean, dead and empty
By the railroad tracks
Where they used to go and come
Now they don't come back
You can hear the rust growing up the throughways
Down the alleys
Where they stole this town from the frontier
I can see 'em trying to steal it back
[Chorus]
Outside tripping in the broken city
Outside kicking in the broken city
I watch her bleed and crack
Outside tripping in the broken city
Outside kicking in the broken city
There's nothing wrong with that
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now the sun won't shine
On this part of the map anymore
When it's cold outside
I see her hide behind the smokestacks
Nothing grows, there's no gold rush
No miner, no revolution behind her
And the shipyard is a graveyard
No one will be trying to find her
[Chorus]
Outside tripping in the broken city
Outside kicking in the broken city
I watch her bleed and crack
Outside tripping in the broken city
Outside kicking in the broken city
There's nothing wrong with that
[Outro]
Nothing wrong with that
Outside tripping in the broken city, yeah
Hey, outside tripping in the broken city
Hey, outside tripping in the broken city
Outside, outside
Outside, outside
Outside, outside
Outside
Somedays Lyrics
[Intro]
Somedays, somedays
Somedays just ain't so easy
[Verse 1]
Wake up, look around
Just before your feet hit the ground
Where they make the oil and street
Is where you stand and where you sleep
Black and whites, alarms and lights
Plain clothes and Miranda Rights
At the right place but in the wrong life
Somedays just ain't so easy
[Chorus]
Somedays, somedays
Somedays, somedays just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays
Somedays, somedays just ain't so easy
[Verse 2]
It's not the fault of anyone
As we revolve around the sun
We sleep beneath the same sky
But we all see it through different eyes
So if you go or if you stay
Standing still if you walk away
If you bend or if you break
Somedays just ain't so easy
[Chorus]
Somedays, somedays
Somedays, somedays just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays
Somedays, somedays just ain't so easy
Just ain't so easy, oh yeah
[Bridge]
Someone may have done you right or done you wrong
Nobody say it's so easy, yeah
I don't care for somedays
Someone may have done you right or done you wrong
Or kept you down from the day you were born
There's no need to apologize for the riot in your eyes
Because somedays just ain't so easy
Hey
Hey
Hey
[Chorus]
Somedays, somedays
Somedays, somedays just ain't so easy
Somedays, somedays
Somedays, somedays just ain't so easy
Shape of Things to Come Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, it's late in the hour
And a few more grains of sand will fall
On the colorful flowers
Grown upon the dust and moss
Now I feel the worst is near
I hold them close and count their years
Pray a ray of light appears
To shine down on us here
[Chorus]
Break down in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier
And I'll say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Verse 2]
There's a crack in the clouds
But only for a moment now
Like an eye looking out
In the blue skies finds the roads, we will go down
I wonder what they hold for us
I hold my family to my breast
I fear the worst and hope the best
Will come to see us blessed
[Chorus]
Break down in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier
And I'll say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Bridge]
Given one more try, wonder what I'd change?
I won't deny, the thought is strange
I've done my best and I will lay no blame myself
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Break down in the shape of things to come
But I'm moving on like a soldier
And I'll say now when all is said and done
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Outro]
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Jewel of the Summertime Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was 18
I didn't know pain when the sun was high
Burnt face, shadow's erased
And I knew I'd be alright
Left that behind me, uh huh
Something blinded me, uh huh
You're reminding me, uh huh
Of a better space and time, miles away
[Chorus]
The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime
[Verse 2]
When I turned 21
I saw the sun falling out of sight
All that I met were dark silhouettes
Stumbling in the night
Then we collided, uh huh
And I finally, uh huh
Got a light on me, uh huh
Now I'm bathing in the bright ultraviolet rays
[Chorus]
The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime
[Bridge]
I left that behind me, uh, huh
But something blinded me, uh, huh
You're reminding me, uh, huh
Of a better space and time, miles away
[Chorus]
The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime
[Chorus]
The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime
The jewel of the summertime
Wide Awake Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve hundred people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders, were it an eye for an eye
We'd all be blind, deaf or murdered, of this I'm sure
In this uncertain time
[Chorus]
So come and pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight despite what I've seen today
I've found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
[Verse 2]
Down on the road the world is floating by
The poor and undefended left behind
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind, hey
[Chorus]
Well, come and pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight despite what I've seen today
I've found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
[Solo]
[Chorus]
So come and pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight despite what I've seen today
I've found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
[Outro]
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Nothing Left to Say but Goodbye Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just like a rescue of a stray dog in the rain
I was hungry when you found me
And you could tell by my tail and my rib cage
What was once around me
[Chorus]
I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned
And kicked around but now I'm found
And I won't run away
[Verse 2]
Bless your heart you gave me a home
And a new start, and I will leave you never
Sleep at your feet and stand guard at your front door
I will keep things together
[Chorus]
I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned
And kicked around but now I'm found
And I won't run away
[Bridge]
I killed myself, threw away my mental health
But nobody was blinking an eye
Backyard, basement, falling on the pavement
And nothing left to say but goodbye
Nothing left to say but goodbye
[Verse 3]
It's true, I ran away before but be sure
I am no tail-chaser
I know a good thing when it throws me a bone
I'm your best friend forever
[Chorus]
I've been chased by a rain cloud
I was lost and nearly drowned
And kicked around but now I'm found
And I won't run away
Moth Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thought I was different, it seems I'm just the same
As again I put my hand over the flame
I thought, I was smarter as I flew into the sun
But it turned out the way it does with everyone
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
I don't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burned and fallen down so many times before
I don't fly around your fire anymore
[Verse 2]
I loved the heat, I loved the things that I forgot
I loved the strings that tied me down and cut me off
I was a king, I was a moth with painted wings made of cloth
When did the flame burn so high and get so hot?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
I don't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burned and fallen down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
Fly around
[Bridge]
I don't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burned and fallen down so many times before
I won't fly around, fly around
[Chorus]
I won't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burned and fallen down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
[Outro]
Oh, fly around, oh
Show Me How to Live (live at the Quart Festival) 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
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
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
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
