Waiting For The Animal
05:49

oh I
I want to be inspired
we can see ourselves in the wild light
impatient as endangered lions
let's conquer these divides
and settle in the hills underneath the sky
let's head out with our pride on a search for gold
following a trail half a century old
to take us to another world
to the ghost towns of America
right before my eyes
comes a motion
only I can see
pointing to the secrets of the wild
from the slickrock overlook in crimson mine
to somewhere in the blackbrush
under a valley of stars
where the canyon roads are goin on and on
winding round the sandstone spire in the dark
we're gonna be alright
there’s an island in the sky
and you and I are gonna make if we try
I felt like this before
that time I nearly lost all of my control
waiting for the animal to come to me
can you read the signs
crossing over from the other side of the dune
I know you will be there with me
I know you will be there in the end
I felt like this before
that time I nearly lost all my control
waiting
waiting
waiting
waiting
I spent nine long years buried in a hole
but now I'll listen to the call I used to know
and let it let it grow
waiting for the animal

late, nearly morning hours
under the moon I get a little
carried off
all this neon power
is filling me with gloom
and I don't want to be here now
but when I finally found her
deep in perfume I'd never
dreamed about
I had to wait it out
we are young, we can choose
hint of love fill up the room
a man like me can groove
but not forget himself
so keep coming on for me
keep coming on for me
see her dance in shimmering beads
she's coming on with every beat
bait and switch is the mood
you can be real astute
if you don't care about it
all our time runs out
some will be choosing some old
flame or simply go with out
but when I finally found her
deep in perfume I'd never
dreamed about
I had to wait it out
so keep coming on for me
keep coming on for me
see her dance in shimmering beads
she's coming on with every beat

Glaciers

if this is how
it all comes to end
I can't believe
all it took was a couple more days
for me to get tossed
cast out in the breeze
down in the market
she said she was fine
she seemed fine to me
just how long did it take her to find
she'd played it too long
and decided to leave
gone in the way the ice went today
wish I could've seen what'd become of me
doomed and deceived
as I was led astray
from all that's at stake
as all glaciers break
bring me a blanket
pour me some wine
and I'll feel at ease
I'm just in shock
to have realized
that she would leave me all alone for the ride
but I'm still alive
oh I'm still alive
falling away the ice went today
wish I could've seen what'd become of me
doomed and deceived
as I was led astray
from all that's at stake
as all glaciers break
but I'm still alive
oh I'm still alive
I know I'm still alive

seems our stars were bluffing
lately these fights amount to nothing
and though I'd hate to see you battling
all alone
I realized what I'm wanting more
there's a part of me that's always known
oh why would you pull me down
I'm seeing what made all the others drown
seen enough by now to know it's true
that now there's nothing left to uphold
you'll be fine on your own
I'm gonna find a real load
meanwhile towers falling
to me the harbors keep on calling
and now there's nothing left to uphold
you'll be fine on your own
I'm gonna find a real load

Fight Of Your Life

last chance today to stand up to the plague
quit pretending it's alright
comet's coming soon are you ready to take off
dead set to achieve you've got the power to speak
the future's in your sight
you made it this far just to stand here on your own
somewhere someone out there suffers too
and I believe in better things to come of you
show me what today will mean for history
don't be on the wrong side
fight of your life, it's on
I'll look past the ways we tend to disagree
I believe that we're both right
our path is divided but we share a common goal
somewhere someone out there suffers too
and I believe in better things to come of you
last chance today to stand up to the plague
quit pretending it's alright
comet's coming soon are you ready now to take off
are you ready to take off?
show me what today will mean for history
don't be on the wrong side
I'm trying to find, I'm trying to find your pulse
come on let me feel your pulse
come on let me feel your pulse
come on let me feel your pulse
bone and wire
bone and wire
fight of your life
fight of your life it's on

Leon
03:42

wildfire was ripping right through boot hill town
the smoke filled up my eyes
leon ran across the road and pulled me out
and we got out just in time
running through the fires like a great big hound
I was going blind
It was hard but we'd soon find the beach
leon lived in town a while
I owed him with my life
I told him all I pulled before the cabins fell
was daddy's hunting knife
leon said if you've got any soul to sell
we're in clean paradise
was all I could do to believe
he said as sure as there's evil in this world
as sure as there's evil in this world
if we start seeing omens
we will lose our heads
let's be on our way my friend
leon led me down to the edge of town
down to the oceanside
I'll never in my life forget that ocean swell
and how the moon did shine
as it set over the water we began to howl lord
it gave me peace of mind
to toss back my head in the breeze
next morning I awoke to hear the siren wail
I saw the sheriff lights
leon had run off that night and left a trail
of blood drawn with a knife
all for a little gold he'd have me waste in jail
serving for his crimes
what I wouldn't give to be free
as sure as there's evil in this world
as sure as there's evil in this world
if we start seeing omens we will lose our heads
let's be on our way my friend

getting so bored of his days
living past what he could afford
andy had decided on
giving up on being employed
the cops soon pegged him as a menace
the neighbors spied over the picket fence
if andy would so much as breathe
they'd throw him out on the curb
try to fight another day
slow down and seize your fate
quit hounding down on all the things
you know you can't control
well there's nothing left to do
holding out for something new
so make your own way you know
that there has got to be more
so they sent him somewhere far away
where andy wouldn't make a noise
got caught in a ruse he was
only trying to hang with the boys
when they told him he would
keep his place until he showed signs of remorse
oh no andy didn't want to play that game anymore
go back to the fishing well
andy break yourself out of this living hell
your time as a dove is being
shot down in the air
well there's nothing left to do
holding out for something new
so make your own way you know
that there has got to be more

Too Close To The Sun
04:44

angel, did you really think
oh did you think you'd get this far
I want to go home again
and now, now that I understand
exactly where we went wrong
with such confidence
too close to the sun
it seems we've reached the end
too close to the sun
until we meet again
how, how could you really think
that I would ever lie
about a thing like that
cause I, I just can't accept
any old reason why
we ever got so out of time
too close to the sun
it seems we've reached the end
too close to the sun
until we meet again
and now, now that I understand
exactly where we went wrong
I can see there's no coming back
too close to the sun
it seems we've reached the end
too close to the sun
until we meet again

Get Back To Watergrove
04:01
|
|||
|
I'll go away a week or two
know that I will be alright
just tired of the pool
been seeking what is mine
now the plot's been found
let it be realized
it'll sink us in the ground
carved beneath the mountainsides
get back to watergrove
get back to watergrove
in my home
I haven't really changed at all

Scarab
05:02

when the battlefield showed all bets were off
the fifth commander had to weigh the cost
in too deep to turn around
allegedly help was on its way to take the fiend out
well the pharaoh king faced a bitter coup
forty days left for him to rule
when your friends help betray the crown
the brotherhood pact dissolves the day your
head hits the ground
scarab
taking him back to the dawn
scarab
he never knew this world at all
the master thief slipped into the tomb
seeking out a chest of ancient jewels
but in that grave a curse had been cast
the golden light of morn revealed the secrets of the past
scarab
taking her back to the dawn
scarab
she never knew this world at all
my mind still dreams of certain doom
I asked a mad scientist what we had left to lose
he showed no fear but he talked so fast
he said the greater impact will send us about
200 years back
he told me
that you will know when it's over
I said
scarab
taking me back to the dawn
scarab
I never knew this world at all
scarab
the earth is sinking set to fall
scarab
I'll never know this world at all
