"My Heart is Black"
When you're lonely and sick of yourself
Go find a stranger, go buy a bottle
When you're naked and crumbling down to dust
Go find a lover, go buy a church
When you're out of luck and the ends ain't meetin'
Go find a job, go steal a credit card
When you can't sleep at night and your thoughts are reeling
Go find a fix, go drown in the Mediterranean
When you're feeling sorry for yourself and you need someone to blame
Go find a doctor, go ask them for help
When you're going through hell and the devil's in your soul
Go find a priest, go pray to him
[Chorus:] My heart is black, my heart is black, my heart is black...


"My Guilt is Mine to Bear"
I saw you today, though you didn't see me
You walked outside, with your head hung low
Just like the day I left you
How did things get so bad for you?
What happened? You look so sad
Why are you crying?
Well, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings
But I just couldn't stand by while you lost yourself
I had to leave you behind because of my guilt.
Oh baby, please don't cry anymore!
The way you cried yesterday
Was so beautiful, so sweet and so sad
I wish I could take it away from you
If I could just give you back your happiness..


"Dirt on my Boots"
The sun is shining brightly today
It's been a while since I've seen one shine so bright
In fact, it hasn't been awhile since I've felt this way before
I'm going to miss you so much baby, you know that right? (oh)
You're the only thing that brings joy to my life now. (ah)
But I wish you would come back soon!
Oh please will you come back soon?! Ah!
The sun is shining bright
And the sky is blue
Just like dirt on my boots
I'm walking along the road
With my head down low
While I look over my shoulder every now and then
If anyone should see me, they'd think I was crazy
(Woo!) Woo! Hoo! Hoo!
I'm walking along the road
With my head down low
While I look over my shoulder every now and then
If anyone should see me, they'd think I was crazy
You're the only thing that brings joy to my life now. (ah)
Oh please will you come back soon?! Ah! Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!!


"It's all in the past"
And we're moving on from there
But there's still one thing I don't understand
What made you fall in love with me?
It's all in the past
And we're moving on from there
I try to forget you every day but it's so hard without you here
I hope you come back soon, my dear.
Oh please will you come back soon? Ah!
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
The night is young and the moon is shining
And everybody's dancing in the streets
All alone in the dark
Yeah, baby, I think we should stop right there
Cause you're not exactly what I need right now
Baby, I'm sorry if I hurt you.
I wish that we could go back to the way things were before...


"Wake up, wake out"
Go find a high, go buy a gun
When you've been pushed against the wall
And all your strength is gone
When you're pushed against the wall
And all your strength is gone
Go find a gun
The wind blows, the sun shines
No one's awake yet
But I'm sure somebody is sleeping right now
There's too many people in the crowd tonight
For one person to sleep alone
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...
The music is playing, the lights are brightening up
This night is getting brighter and brighter
And everybody's dancing along
My heart's beating fast, my head's spinning
All my nerves are tingling
I wanna dance with you baby, oh yeah!


"Cherry Red Coupe"
I'm driving down the road in my cherry red coupe
I'm stopping off to get a coke and a little old lady
She's filling up her tank and it starts to overflow
"Hey, can you give me a hand?"
Hey, lady what do you think I am, some kind of hero?
The man who is in charge of our lives
Has been running things since the beginning
His name is Mr. White
He runs the show and he keeps everybody down
He's got a lot of money and he has power over everyone else too
Mr. White doesn't give a hoot if you're black or white, rich or poor, young or old...
He doesn't care! He's a racist pig! You can tell by his car!
Oh yeah, I remember when he drove that car
I thought it was funny, I'd drive like that too
"What are you doing?"
"Well, I'm trying to keep up with Mr. White!"
"Don't you dare try to follow him."
Well, he's got a big house and a big fleet of cars! Oh boy!
Yeah, Mr. White drives like an idiot!


"Dirt Nap Fiasco"
You're looking for me, I know you are
I can hear your footsteps at the door
You're coming to take me away
Don't think that I won't be fighting
I'm gonna give you every fightin' chance
That I never got, yeah! Oh yeah!
The day is coming soon when I'll be gone
And nobody will remember that I lived here
No one will even care that I died here
Oh, well, if you wanna keep me alive forever
Well then you gotta give me something to do...(Sigh)
Well, I guess I'll be seeing ya later...
I'm looking for you, I hope you're not here
I'm coming to finish the job right now
I'm gonna give you every fightin' chance
You never gave me a chance
I'll be seeing ya later...
Well, I guess I'll be seeing ya later...


"Silver Spoon"
The sun is shining bright,
It shines down on our heads,
While the clouds are moving slowly by.
This place looks so beautiful,
There's a lot of things going on here.
The day seems so long ago;
Oh my God! What a difference one year makes!
But I think back to those times when we played together;
We had fun while we were young; now that we're old.
The sun is shining bright
And everybody's dancing in the streets
There's a lot of laughter and fun going on
All the boys are looking for girls to dance with them tonight
Some of those girls look pretty young too, but they're not quite ready yet. (Oh)
But some of those girls are older than me, and they're just waiting for somebody to come along who will help them out.


"Similar to a spinning rock"
Spinning around and around and around and around.
The trees look so lovely; they're so green, they're so calm, and they're
Standing still like they've stood for a thousand years.
The water is wide
It's flowing through the countryside to the sea; it can wash away all of my worries.
We've got so much, we live in a paradise, but why do we kill ourselves?
Yeah, you can't wait to blow it all!
I've made it so miserable! (ah)
I've made it so miserable!
Yeah, I can't wait to blow it all.
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby... (x6)
You don't even have to go home tonight. You can stay here with me...


"In the Phalanx"
There's something wrong with me, baby, I think I'm sick
The doctor says it's probably tuberculosis or some such thing
Well if it is then maybe I should try to get well soon
I mean who knows what might happen?
I'm a soldier in the phalanx
The army is my family
My mother and father are dead
And my brothers and sisters are all dead too
Oh, I've been sent to fight for them too! (oh)
Oh, I've been sent to die for them too! (oh)
Oh, I've been sent to kill for them too! (oh)
Oh, I've been sent to destroy for them too! (ah!


"Putrid Smells and Acrid Smoke"
It's the smell of decay, it's the smell of death;
The burning flesh and scorched hair,
As you choke on the vapor that billows from your mouth.
That's what it means to burn at the stake,
What you do with witches when they're too old to work.
It's a punishment designed for a queen,
So you'll hang until you're dead, not before you're half-roasted.
This is no place for children or animals
The smell is too strong here
There are dead bodies everywhere...
No, it's not right here,
We need to leave this town!
Oh Queen Mary, please don't kill me!
(Oh) Oh Queen Mary, please don't kill me!


"Flush with Red"
The night is dark and cold
And I'm standing outside the window
Waiting for the moon to come down
While you sit by yourself in bed
Wondering if I should come in or leave you alone tonight
Oh, baby, oh, baby, oh! Oh! Oh! Ah! Ah! Aah! Aaaaahhh!!
The sky is red and the wind blows cold
My heart is beating fast as I try to catch my breath
There's no place to hide behind these walls anymore
No one's going to save me from myself now
I'm getting too old for this game anymore
It's been too long since I felt this way!
What am I supposed to do now?
I've tried everything. All I can think about is you...


"He Will Make Your Paths Straight"
I was sitting there by myself, writing a letter home
I had gone out and now I was lost
When out of the shadows this man stepped into the moonlight
With a voice like whiskey and smoke he spoke to me softly
He said, "boy, you lookin' for some company? I got what you need"
The last thing you need is somebody else's advice
If you wanna be free, then you gotta learn to fly alone
Oh baby, if I had wings I'd soar away too!
Jesus will make your paths straight
If your paths are crooked
Jesus will make your paths straight
If your head is boaring you down with sorrow
Jesus will make it float away
Jesus will make your paths straight
Yes, He will make your paths straight.
With His stripes you were healed
When He shed His blood for you on the cross that day
When you have nothing else to hold onto
He will make your paths straight.


"I Thought I Was Out"
I think I was out of sight
When I found myself back here again
My mind is so confused, I can't tell what's real anymore
This place seems so unreal, it's like I'm dreaming right now
The music keeps on playing, it doesn't matter who's singing or playing it right now...
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
Of Jesus, the gospel righteous sure sounds sweet
The night is dark and cold
And I'm sitting alone in the darkness
I think I might be out of sight
But then something catches my eye
An old man sits by himself too far away to reach him
He looks at me with his big black eyes and says "Hello"
I think I was out of sight
But then something catches my eye
An old man sits by himself too far away to reach him


"What Happens Afterwards"
The night is dark and cold, the moon shines down
There are no stars to guide our way
No one else is coming or going tonight
We're alone in this house of ours
And I think we should leave soon.
I'll be back soon, I promise
You can count on that baby, yeah
Baby you are mine forevermore
The sun is shining bright
In the sky there are stars
There's something beautiful about them
They're so far away, yet so close at hand
I think I'm going to miss you tonight, baby girl
Oh, oh! Oh! Oh!
The sun is shining bright
In the sky there are stars
There's something beautiful about them
They're so far away, yet so close at hand
I think I'm going to miss you tonight, baby girl
Oh, oh! Oh! Oh!


"Errors and Omissions"
[Instrumental]
I don't think I should tell you who I am,
Because if you found out then you'd be right and wrong, and right and wrong.
If it turns out that I'm not quite as bad as everyone says, well... maybe that's okay too.
You're in a gentle room
With the lights turned on low
But you're hiding under the covers
It's not the same as before
The same faces are here, that is true
The names have all been changed
Because of what they've done to you now
But it's a brand new day now
They're just noises outside your door
Just go back to sleep and they'll go away
The world's still under your bed
And nobody's coming to save you now
It's not the same as before
The same faces are here, that is true
The names have all been changed
Because of what they've done to you now


"Sharp Corners Abound"
I'm a stranger in a strange land
Where everybody seems to be talking about you
You're not sure if you belong or not
And nobody gives two shits about you either
Well maybe some of them do, but I don't care anymore..
The world is going crazy, the world is going mad
There's too many wars and not enough money to pay for them
The whole planet's falling apart, yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
All your lies and the shadows they make
You're a king with no subjects
A genius without any fame
So live in a corner where sharp corners abound
Nobody notices you there
They don't care about you anyway...well, hardly anybody does
They don't know you're alive
A hundred years from now
When your name is but faded dust
I'll still be entrenched in the corner most likely...
Oh, baby, oh, baby
Don't cry because you're too young to die
(Baby) Don't cry because you're too young to grow old
(Baby) Don't cry because you're too young to fall in love


"Tip of the Spear"
There are some things that I won't tell you
The way I am now is the way I will remain
If you think too much about it, then you might change your mind
What if I had been born in a different place?
Or what if my life had taken a completely different turn?
From the mountaintops to the ocean shores
Freedom stands tall with her head held high
This is our land and no other will take it from us
You can't deny that you never were free
In this great nation there's always been liberty
Our language is freedom, our lives are freedom
From dusk till dawn there is no commandment but freedom
We fought for our rights, you may hate us for it
But we'll die for this
Oh, you don't even know what freedom means?
Well, it's something that I'm proud to call myself
Yeah, I'd rather be free than dead!
Ah, you're not afraid of anything
You're not scared of death either
You've got the courage to face it all!
Ah, you're not afraid of anything!


"The Jilted Fool"
Well I met somebody yesterday
He said he'd help me out of my mess
But I think he meant something else
He says he wants to be my friend, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Now this used to be my playground
But children are born and people grow
Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Now I'm cast out and branded
And no one wants to know me
Well I'll go down to the wharf today
To see if I can't make it all right
Oh what have I done?
Well I met somebody yesterday
He said he'd help me out of my mess
But I think he meant something else
He says he wants to be my friend, yeah, yeah!
I had to find someone who'd sell me dope
If I wanted to keep my job or if I needed money
My boss said he couldn't help me anymore
He told me that I should go back to school
And he gave me some advice on how to behave
But I don't think it helped at all, oh no!


"More Questions than Answers"
If you wanna live forever
You gotta pay for it, baby
You got to be willing to die
There ain't no way around it
Now we're talkin' to each other
And there ain't no road map in sight
But if we keep talkin', we'll make it out alive
You can do just what you like, but you can't do that alone
With me along, you won't be along
Some folks spend their whole lives trying
To make it to heaven, baby
I'm rolling the dice trying to enjoy myself
There ain't no reward for virtue
Unless you're a virgin who doesn't mind getting old
So if you wanna live forever
You gotta pay for it, baby
You got to be willing to die
There ain't no way around it
