Track Lyrics
Dusty Lyrics
[Refrain]
Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy...
[Verse 1]
I think it's turnin' back around
And I think I like it
I think it's turnin' back around
Though I don't know why it is
I think it's turnin' back on me
I'm down on the upside
I think it's turnin' back on me
Now I'm on the good ride
[Chorus]
And nothing's gonna put me out
It's backin' down and under
I'm down on the upside now
It's turnin' back around
Turnin' back around
[Refrain]
Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy...
[Verse 2]
I think it's coming on the wind
Just like you said it
I think it's coming on the wind
And I'm gonna let it
I think it's turnin' back on me
Everything's easy
I think it's turnin' back on me
Everything's real to me
[Chorus]
And nothing's going to put me out
It's backin' down and under
I'm down on the upside now
It's turnin' back around
Turnin' back around
Turnin' back around
[Instrumental Break]
Fwooo...
Oooo...
[Refrain]
Yeaahhhhh...
[Verse 2]
I think it's comin' on the wind
Just like you said it
I think it's comin' on the wind
And I'm gonna let it out
[Chorus]
And nothing's going to put me out, yeah
It's backin' down and under
I'm down on the upside now
It's turnin' back around
Turnin' back around
Turnin' back around
Turnin' back around
[Outro]
(Turnin', turnin', turnin') Turnin' back around
(Turnin', turnin', turnin') Turnin' back around
(Turnin', turnin', turnin') Turnin' back around
(Turnin', turnin', turnin') Turnin' back around
Oh-woah-woah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Blow Up the Outside World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Nothing seems to kill me
No matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
No
[Verse 2]
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how far I fall
Nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up, though not invincible
I know
[Pre-Chorus]
I've given everything I need, I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to Hell and gone
Burrow down in and
[Chorus]
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world
[Verse 3]
Someone tried to tell me something
"Don't let the world bring you down"
Nothing can do me in before I do myself
Save it for your own and the ones you can help
No
[Pre-Chorus]
I've given everything I need, I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to Hell and gone
Burrow down in and
[Chorus]
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it's wrong
Blowing it to Hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
[Chorus]
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside world
[Outro]
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside world
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Blow up the outside, blow up the outside
Burden in My Hand Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Follow me into the desert, as thirsty as you are
Crack a smile and cut your mouth and drown in alcohol
'Cause down below the truth is lying beneath the riverbed
So quench yourself and drink the water that flows below her head
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no, there she goes
Out in the sunshine
The sun is mine, the sun is mine
[Chorus]
I shot my love today, would you cry for me?
I lost my head again, would you lie for me?
[Verse 2]
Close your eyes and bow your head, I need a little sympathy
'Cause fear is strong, and love's for everyone who isn't me
Kill your health and kill yourself and kill everything you love
And if you live, you can fall to pieces and suffer with my ghost
[Chorus]
I shot my love today, would you cry for me?
I lost my head again, would you lie for me?
I left her in the sand, just a burden in my hand
I lost my head again, would you cry for me?
[Bridge]
It's just a burden in my hand
It's just an anchor on my heart
It's just a tumor in my head
And I'm in the dark
[Verse 3]
So follow me into the desert, as desperate as you are
Where the moon is glued to a picture of heaven, and all the little pigs have God
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no, there she goes
Out in the sunshine
The sun is mine, the sun is mine
[Chorus]
I shot my love today, would you cry for me, yeah?
I lost my head again, would you lie for me?
I left her in the sand, just a burden in my hand
I lost my head again, would you cry for me?
Yeah, would you cry for me?
Never the Machine Forever Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't live when it lives
It won't live if I die
Machine has no heart to give
Heart it takes could be mine
[Chorus 1]
Come on, come down
Come out from where you hide
[Verse 2]
Follows me down the river
Shadows me through the sky
A sideways glance in the mirror
Stalemate, machine in a tie
[Chorus 2]
Come on, come down
Come out from where you hide
Get up, get off
Get on with your life
[Bridge]
Forever means all is not seen
Never means forever brings everything
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I fashion will and desire
Always I and I survive
Mercurial mind the fire
Ferrivorous direction and drive
[Chorus 2]
Come on, come down
Come out from where you hide
Get up, get off
Get on with your life
[Bridge]
Forever means all is not seen
Never means forever brings everything
[Chorus 3]
Get up, get off
Get on with your life
[Outro]
Now I see myself clearer
Why time, I visualize?
I spy device in the mirror
Checkmate, watch machine die
Switch Opens Lyrics
[Intro]
“Open”
[Verse 1]
Hey, you slaves, go hang your owners
Draw your names among their ashes
Lay your children on their thrones
Gather round and fall right down
[Bridge 1]
Here at sundown
Nothing is when everything is all right
Switch opens
Opening around and lets the garden rise
[Chorus]
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on
[Verse 2]
Hey, you patients, where's your surgeons?
Left you with your insides open
Left your heart out on the table
Gather round and fall right down
[Bridge 2]
Feel the wind now
Stumbling and wander in the moonshine
Switch opens
Opening around and lets the garden rise
[Chorus]
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on, switch is on
Switch is on
[Outro]
Switch is on
Switch is on
Boot Camp Lyrics
[Verse]
I must obey the rules
I must be tame and cool
No staring at the clouds
I must stay on the ground
In clusters of the mice
The smoke is in our eyes
Like babies on display
Like angels in a cage
I must be pure and true
I must contain my views
There must be something else
There must be something good far away
Far away from here
[Outro]
Far away, far away from here
Far away, far away from here
Far away, far away from here
And I'll be here for good
For good
