Your empty walls,

Your empty walls,

Pretentious adventures,

Dismissive apprehension,

Don't waste your time,

On coffins today,

When we decline,

From the confines of our mind,

Don't waste your time,

On coffins today...



Don't you see their bodies burning?

Desolate and full of yearning,

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

Don't you see their bodies burning?

Desolate and full of yearning,

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

I want you to be left behind those empty walls,

Taunt you see from behind those empty walls



Those empty walls,

When we decline,

From the confines of our mind,

Don't waste your time,

On coffins today...



Don't you see their bodies burning?

Desolate and full of yearning,

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

Don't you see their bodies burning?

Desolate and full of yearning,

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

I want you to be left behind those empty walls,

Told you to see from behind those empty walls,

Want you to be left behind those empty walls,

I told you to see from behind those empty walls,

From behind those empty walls,

From behind those empty walls,

The walls!

From behind those empty walls...



I loved you yesterday,

(From behind those empty walls...)

Before you killed my family,

(From behind those empty walls, the walls...)



Don't you see their bodies burning?

Desolate and full of yearning,

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

Don't you see their bodies burning,

Desolate and full of yearning,

(I want you...)

Dying of anticipation,

Choking from intoxication,

(To be left behind those empty...)

I want you to be left behind those empty walls,

Told you to see from behind those empty walls,

(Desolate and full of yearning, Dying of anticipation, Choking from intoxication...)

Want you to be left behind those empty walls,

(Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning, Dying of anticipation, Choking

from intoxication...)

I told you to see from behind those empty walls,



(Fuck your empty walls, fuck your empty walls)

From behind those empty walls,

(Fuck your empty walls, fuck your empty walls)

From behind those fucking walls,

(Fuck your empty walls, fuck your empty walls)

From behind those goddamn walls,

Those walls!

Those walls!

We don't need your democracy.
Execute them kindly for me.
Take them by their filthy nostrils
Put them up in doggy hostels.

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy.
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable (x2)

Money!
All for money!
Save your money!
Hide your money!
Stuff your money!
Hump your money!
Keep your money!
All for money...!

Waning patience,
Peoples appetite,
Disposition,
This possession,
Dispossessed from all the attractions,
Dancing bears of eroticism,
Self-absorbed delusion,
Inclusion of dysfunction,
I now await the triumphant,
Lost baggage, train station...

The causes of ineptitude,
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude,
Can be traced to the tyranny of...

Money!
All for money!
Make your money!
Hide your money!
Stuff your money!
Hump your money!
Save your money!
All for money...!

My final surrender,
Away from inclusion,
I now await the triumphant,
Left baggage, train station...

The causes of ineptitude,
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude,
Can be taced to the tyranny of a down,
The causes of ineptitude,
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude,
Can be traced to the tyranny of...

Money, money, money, money...

Maybe we believe,
She was ready to go,
In the morning light,
Maybe you believe,
That she was made of gold,
In the East where you killed her...

You lead us,
When you need to feed us,
You comfortable delete us,
When you need your fetus...

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out....

Goodbye, goodbye...

She speaks unrehearsed,
Languages from skin,
In the morning light,
Painting shadows on the,
Faces of the dead,
In front of their windows...

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Before it's too late...

Do you know that life is ending,
As we go, the dots connecting,
We had our chance to save the garden,
As it dies, our souls will harden,
With these words chastising your conscience,
We're breaking through and praying for transcendence...

But you deceived us all now...

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out...

Why do we sit around and break each other's hearts tonight?
Why do we dance around the issues 'till the morning light?
When we sit and talk and tear each other's lives apart.
You were the one to tell me go...

But you were the one for me,
And now you're going through the door,
When you take that step I love you baby more and more,
We need to laugh and sing and cry and warm each other's hearts tonight,
Having fun of everything and loving all our mother's...

Tearing us,
You're tearing us,
You're breaking us,
You're breaking us,
You're carrying us,
Carrying us,
You're saving us,
You're saving us...

You're tearing us,
You're tearing us,
You're breaking us,
Breaking us,
You're killing us,
Killing us,
You're saving us...

Why do we sit around and break each other's hearts tonight?
Why do we dance around the issues 'till the morning light?

Everybody knows,
Everybody knows,
That you cradle the sun, sun
Living in remorse,
Sky is over,

Dont you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,

Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I dont want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,

Behind closes eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you,
Are you at war with land
And all of its creatures,
Your not-so-gentle persuasion
Has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over,

Dont you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,

Not even from the sun,
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun,
Dont you want me to run,

Even though you cant afford
The sky is over,
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I dont want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I dont want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I dont want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
The sky is over us.

You came to me within a dream,
Not everyone is who they seem,
All these words we can't redeem,
Like the great magic of our world,
Corroborated by your words,
Splitting planets into thirds...

Baby oh baby,
Baby my baby,
Baby ooh babe,
I miss you, lalala,
Baby oh baby,
Baby my babe,
Baby ooh babe,
I miss you...

To all the leaves that fall in vain,
While god and goddess go insane,
All these words in your domain,
The watches kill time as the books read,
Inadvertently we bleed,
Fighting for what we deceive...

Baby oh baby,
Baby my baby,
Baby ooh babe,
I miss you, lalala,
Baby oh baby,
Baby my babe,
Baby ooh babe,
I miss you...

Leave me alone,
Leave me alone,
Now why can't you see that you always perturb me so,
Nearing the end of the world, just leave me alone,
Leave me alone,
Why can't you see that you always perturb me so,
Nearing the end of the world, leave me alone,
Leave me alone...

Baby oh baby,
Baby my baby,
Baby ooh babe,
I miss you, lalala,
Baby oh baby,
Baby my babe,
Baby ooh babe,
I miss you...

Why dont you go photograph
Everything that ever passed in time,
Indigenous traces, tribal chiefs,
Vanishing hereditary lines,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope,
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Nature based being will survive
Apocalyptic days of now,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope,
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Of it all,
Run away with me now,
Run away with me now,
My life,

We are the cause of a world thats gone
wrong,
Nature will survive us human dogs after all,

Why dont you go photograph
Everything that ever passed in time,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope,
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,
When you see that honking antelope,
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Of it all,
Run away with me now,
Run away with me now,
My love,

We are the cause of a world thats gone
wrong,
Nature will survive us human dogs after all,
We are the cause of a world thats gone
wrong,
Wouldnt it be great to heal the world
With only a song

Lalalalalalalalalalala...
Lalalalalalalalalalala...

My baby, my baby,
Let me know,
Because you love me, you love me,
Let me go,
And you're my lover, you pay me,
Twice my size,
And on your knees you lay,
In my thighs...

Take my hand and let's end it all,
She broke her little bones,
On the boulders below,
Take my hand and let's end it all...

My baby, my baby,
Let me go,
And if you love me, you love me,
Let me go,
Cause I'm your brother, your brother,
Have some pride,
And now you love me, you love me,
Then die tonight...

Take my hand and let's end it all,
She broke her little bones,
On the boulders below,
Take my hand and let's end it all,
Broke her little bones.
On the boulders below,
And while she fell I delightfully said...

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie...(x12)

She took my hand and I let her go,
She broke her little bones,
On the boulders below,
Took my hand and she ended it all,
Broke her little bones on the boulders below,
And while she fell, I smiled...

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie...(x8)

Come lay it down, wont you,
Come burn it down, cant you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground
Come lay it down, wont you,
Come burn it down, cant you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You dont know what this love is all about,

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,
Life affirming and our spiritual trust

Lay it down, wont you,
Come burn it down, cant you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You dont know what this love is all about,

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,

Buddha, Mohammad and the Hindu
Lost 100
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,
People still ask when will Armageddon begin,

Dragging my feet any longer through the
pussy litter,
Dragging my feet any longer through the
pussy litter,
Dragging my feet any longer through the
pussy litter,

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You dont know what this love is all about,

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,

Do we ever have enough,
When we see that blue dove
Do we ever have enough
When we see that blue dove
We want to go where no ones been
No ones been

Come lay it down, wont you,
Come burn it down, cant you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground
Wont you.

Brushing, touching, feeling on your shoulders,
Believing, appealing, kneeling in your worlds,
Oceans are combined...

Being that I love you so much,
In the end they all will say,
Breaking someone else's heart again...

Find the little evil perpetrator,
And feed him to the hungry alligator,
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about profits,
Nor the riches in your dreams...

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trail,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe in me...

I've been walking through these dead farms,
But I don't mind,
I've been screaming through these dead lungs,
But I can't find...

Being that I love you so much,
In the end they all will say,
Breaking someone else's heart again...

Find the little evil perpetrator,
And feed her to the hungry alligator,
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about profits,
Nor the riches in your dreams...

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe, in me...

Lately I've been blind,
Leave me all alone, left in time,
You left me here to die, left in time,
Leave me all alone, left in time...

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe in nothing...

But lately I've been blind,
Leave me all alone, left in time.

Arms are raised above the sky,
But all I want is me...

You are there beside the night,
But all I want is me,
All I want is me...

Love we know,
Comes from inside,
But all I want is me,
All I want is me...

Death we know,
Come to us alive,
But all I want is you...

Death we know,
Comes to all of us alive,
But all I want is you,
All I need is you,
All I want...

The viscera, application of death in your own
Your own time, your wedges of strength lay beyond you
Discover what it is that you need
The reverend king said

All the lights are gone (all the lights are gone)
All the lights are gone and the turns, the turns that turn us into space
Seeing is believing in,
Believing in seeing is seeing in believing
The reverend king said

Dead
Question me for the life of my subjects
But you had a craved miracle

The viscera, application of death in your own
Your own time, your wedges of strength lay beyond you
Discover what it is that you need
The reverend king said

All the lights are gone (all the lights are gone)
All the lights are gone and the turns, the turns that turn us into space
Seeing is believing in,
Believing in seeing is seeing in believing

I'm.... wishin' and wishin' away as you go
I'm.... wishin' and wishin' away as you go

I don't see nothing but pain and misery, cause you are the one for me
Why can't it all be true? Can I escape with my blue fallen revery?
Why can't it all be true? Why can't it all be true?

I'm.... wishin' and wishin' away as you go
I'm.... wishin' and wishin' away as you go

Sodomy, I believe you are the one for me
Gracious for you to prove my clothes are tarted
Can I escape with my blue fallen revery?
Why can't it all be true? Why can't it all be true?

I've been wishin' away as you go, I've been wishin' away at you
I've been wishin' away as you go

I don't see nothing but pain and misery, cause you are the one for me
Why can't it all be true? Can I escape with my blue fallen revery?
Why can't it all be true? Why can't it all be true?

wishin' and wishin' away as you go....
