From the bowery to the brimstone
I tried to find your heart
With drugs of initiation
The bottom of a barrel that drops
I understand your causes
Sympathize the motivation
But all the details of this war
Are just self-infatuation
And it's 1 2 3
Nothings for free
4 5 6
Pick up the sticks and go home
Manic blood runs thick my friend
Are you looking for a clean escape
What's left when the locks have all been broken
Young children of authority
Now how long can you be agile
Dancing between the alter and the mercy seat
Yeah now here's a chance to make a choice
Are you aware of the fire beneath your feet
1 2 3
Nothings for free
4 5 6
Pick up the sticks and go home
The basement lies within us
Our fear comes through the door
Now there's nothing left between us
As the fear becomes a roar
Once that wheel is in motion
Don't you lose what you have found
I'm talking about that burning wheel of tongues
Everything that makes it go round and round
We're all born in the devils scorn
They want to see you die
I'm asking you are you true
Everything they say is a lie
It's a lie
1 2 3
Nothings for free
4 5 6
Pick up the sticks and go
1 2 3
Nothings for free
4 5 6
Pick up the sticks and go
1 2 3
(we're all born)
Nothings for free
(in the devils scorn)
1 2 3
(we're all born)
Nothings for free
(in the devils scorn)
Everything they say it's a lie
(we're all born)
It's a lie now
(in the devils scorn)
Everything they say it's a lie
It's a lie now
Pick up the sticks
(pick up the sticks)
Pick up the sticks
(pick up the sticks)
Pick up the sticks
(pick up the sticks)
Pick up the sticks
And go home
2.All Along The Watchtower
There must be some kinda way way out of here
Oh said the joker to the thief
I want to tell you now
You know there's just too much confusion
And i can't no i can't get no relief
Ah these businessmen they all they drink our wine
And the plowman well he dig my earth
And you know that ah none of them along the line
Can show me what any of this is worth
You know we wanted to see it now didn't we
Didn't we
There ain't no reason to get excited
Ah the thief you know he kindly spoke
Well now there are those among us right here right now
Who still see life as some kind of a joke
But you and i we have been through that
I tell you that this this is not our fate no no no
Now let us all not talk falsely now
You know the hour well it's getting late
I said all along the watchtower
The princes they kept the view
While the women the women
They came and then they went
And barefoot servants too
That's me that's you
But outside there's a cold distance
Listen for the wildcats
Here them growl
Two riders were approaching
As the wind began to howl
I said now shelter me
Oh there are those among us right here right now
Who still see life as some kind of a joke
All along the watchtower
I said all along this watchtower
Those of you who still have eyes to see
Ears hear me
You will be saved by grace in the end
Saved by time if you don't understand
That your hatred is rooted in your fear
And your paranoia and insecurities
Well they don't belong here
You got to take someones hand
You got to learn to make your stand
And it's one two three four
Look at the sky you can open the door
And take my hand
Take my hand
Take my hand
Ah don't you want to touch
Don't you want to feel
Don't you know that this is real
I said shelter me
Shelter me
Shelter me
Shelter me
And save yourself
Save yourself
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save
And you
You
And you are a part of the world
You you are a part of the world
You gotta learn to touch to feel
And know that you are real
I said learn learn
You are a part of the world
3.Kid Fears
Pain from pearls -hey little girl
How much have you grown
Pain from pearls - hey little girl
Flower for the ones you've known
Are you on fire
From the years
What would you give
For your kid fears
Secret staircase, running high
You had a hiding place
Secret staircase, running low
But they all know, now you're inside
Are you on fire
From the years
What would you give
For your kid fears
Your kid fears
Skipping stones, we know the price now
And any sin will do
How much further, if you can spin
How much further, if you are smooth
Are you on fire
From the years
What would you give
For your kid fears
(replace the rent with the stars above)
(replace the need with love)
(replace the anger with the tide)
(replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love)
Ah the ones that you love
Are you on fire
(replace the rent with the stars above)
From all the years
(replace the need with love)
What would you give
(replace the anger with the tide)
For your kid fears
(for the ones that you love)
(the ones that you love)
Hold on now
Are you on fire
(replace the rent with the stars above)
From all the years
(replace the need with love)
And what would you give
(replace the anger with the tide)
For your kid fears
(for the ones that you love)
What would you give
(the ones that you love)
For you kid fears？
What would you give for your kid fears
Your kid fears
Hey kids
Hold on
4.Left Me A Fool
Everybody loves you
And they want to know your story
You go riding out a mystery
Concealed in all your glory
But when it comes to flesh and bones
You remind me of shallot
Only made of shadows
Even though you're not
I remember how i spent
All my energy and time
With affected conversation
Trying to pry inside your mind
You are as beautiful as truth
And as empty as a shell
And i came to you one night
And it made me feel like hell
Oh to reach through all your surface
Just to find an empty pool
And to suffer all your pride
As i lay down by your side
And you swallowed up my heart
And left me a fool
Left me a fool
Everybody loves a hero
An image to create
The antithesis of everything
Inside ourselves we hate
But you'd better close your eyes
When it's time for them to die
Because you'd hate to think the life
You'd built upon them was a lie
Oh to reach through all your surface
Just to find an empty pool
And to suffer all your pride
As i lay down by your side
And you swallowed up my heart
And left me a fool
Left me a fool
I resign myself to silence
I will never blow your cover
No one ever has to know
Who the hero took for lover
But it has come to mind as you blaze on
As brilliant as a star
How many you've left behind
How many casualties there are
Oh to reach through all your surface
Just to find an empty pool
And to suffer all your pride
As i lay down by your side
And you swallowed up my heart
And left me a fool
Left me a fool
5.Prince Of Darkness
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
I don't know when i noticed life was life at my expense
The words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence
The dreams came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve
I said i have no way of feeding you, so leave
But there was a time i asked my father for a dollar
And he gave it a ten dollar raise
And when i needed my mother and i called her
She stayed with me for days
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain
Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine
Someone's got his finger on the button in some room
No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom
But i tried to make this place my place
I asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet face
Yeah but i'll tell you
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
(by grace, my sight grows stronger)
And i do not feel the romance i will not be
(and i will not be a pawn for the prince of darkness any longer)
Maybe there's no haven in this world for tender age
My heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage
My greatest hope my greatest cause to grieve
And my heart flew from its cage and it bled upon my sleeve
Oh the cries of passion were like wounds that needed healing
I couldn't hear them for the thunder
I was half the naked distance between hell and heavens ceiling
And he almost pulled me under
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain
Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine
Someone's got his finger on the button in some room
No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom
But i tried to make this place my place
I asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet face
But i'll tell you
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
(by grace, my sight grows stronger)
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
(grows stronger)
By grace
(my place is of the sun)
My sight
(and this place is of the dark)
Is growing stronger
(i do not feel the romance)
I will not be a pawn
(i will not be)
For the prince of darkness any longer
6.Tried To Be True
From baby to best with no second test
These little storms destroy you
Here is the fame they promised to give you
Taking the place of my hand now
Well did you try to be true
What separates me from you now
What separates me from you
Did you borrow the soul
The soul that you sell now
What does your conscience tell you
Where are the demons
Of your desires
Why does my love destroy you
I said i tried to be true
What separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
I said i tried, tried to be true
What separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
What separates me from you
(what separates me from you now)
I think it's you now
Tell me where is the fame
Where is the fortune
Where is the world that denies you
Who is to blame
When my heart finally forfeits
To a road that will only misguide you
Well did we try to be true
What separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
Oh did we try, try to be true
(what separates me from you now)
(what separates me from you now)
It separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
It separates me from you
(what separates me from you now)
It's you
Baby
Yeah i bought my love a hunger
(i tried, tried to be true)
More precious than a stone
(i tried, tried to be true)
(where is the world that denies you)
All these fatal flowers
(i tried, tried to be true)
(where is the world that denies you)
Did i misguide you？
(tried to be true)
7.You And Me Of The 10,000 Wars
You and me of the 10,000 wars
Dividing life into factions of pleasure and chores
A bed to be made and a bed to lie in
A hand in the darker side
And our sights set on zion
The heart of a skeptic and the mind of a child
Put my life in a box and let my imagination run wild
Pour the cement for my feet
The heart and the mind on a parallel course
Never the two shall meet
And oh the dissatisfied with the satisfied
Everybody loves a melodrama and the scandal of a lie
Still you held your arms open
For the prodigal daughter
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes
Still waters
Try making one and one make one
Twist the shapes until everything comes undone
Watch the wizard behind the curtain
The larger than life and the power of seeming certain
The evil ego and the vice of pride
Is there ever anything else that makes us take our different
sides
I wanted everything to feed me
About as full as i got was of myself
And the upper echalons of mediocrity
And oh the dissatisfied with the satisfied
Everybody loves a melodrama and the scandal of a lie
Still you held your arms open
For the prodigal daughter
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes
Still waters
Still waters
After the battles and we're still around
Everything once up in the air has settled down
Sweep the ashes let the silence find us
A moment of peace is worth every war behind us
You and me of the 10,000 wars
