The Gate
03:58
|
|||
-- Lyrics --
I awoke in a pit
With a man starring down at me
Laughing!
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha
I came to a gate a closed gate
I passed through like a spirit
I came face to face with death
Though I did not fear it
I came to a house a dark house
I had to squint to see it
Then a fire burning bright
Burned so bright that I was drawn into it
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha
I was led by a voice to a pit
And when I looked into it
I could see a face at the bottom
For the night was moonlight
The face spoke at last with a faint voice
But I could clearly hear it
Ye who seeks the key to The Gate
Be ye clear of spirit
Laughing!
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha
And now that you feel much better, much better
Now that you feel alright
And now that you fill in your sweater, your sweater
Now that they’ve cut you down to size
And now that time rolls backwards, rolls backwards
Now that you see it with new eyes
And now that you feel much lighter, much lighter
Now that you’ve seen into the light
The Gate, me voilà!
Me voilà!
The Gate, me voilà

Ups and Downs
03:20
|

-- Lyrics --
Ups and downs
Ups and downs
Ups and downs
Ups and downs
This one’s called ups and downs
Upside down turned around
Inside out all strung out
On the ground
Head in the clouds
In the lost or in the found
Hanging around
Standing around
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting all my time
Evidence is on the ground
Evidence is all around
Evidence is on the dot
Evidence it’s all we got
Hanging around
Standing around
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting all my time
Have a drink you’ll never die
Have a drink you’ll learn to fly
Have a drink well that’s a lie
Have a drink you’ll never die
Hanging around
Standing around
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting all my time
Evidence on its way down
Evidence has hit the ground
Evidence under the dock
Evidence it’s all we got
Hanging around
Standing around
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting all my time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting all my time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting all my time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting all my time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting all my time
Ups and downs

I don’t know how I survived
Yet I did survive
But I was numb
I was numb
I was numb for years to come
Oh I was so
Young and dumb and

Sunset Strip
03:24
|

-- Lyrics --
Get yourself together
I’m not talking about tomorrow
We have places to go
So put the pedal to the metal
Blood is running from my nose
And it's getting on my sweater
And I haven’t got a clue
If it’s getting worse or getting better better better
You know sometimes I feel like everybody’s better than me
And with their vision they can see
From one side through the other side of me
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
I walked in and you walked up you asked me to leave
I fell down the stairs
Collapsed there in the night
And my thoughts came spilling out
I guess that I was wound up tight
And I tried to keep words in my mouth
But I boiled from inside
Meanwhile the blood ran on my sweater
Well am I worse or am I better
You know sometimes I feel like everybody’s looking at me
And with their vision they can see
From one side through the other side of me
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
Sunset Strip
I walked in and you walked out you asked me to leave
So I walked out but I fell down got weak in the knees
On the Sunset Strip
On the Sunset Strip
On the Sunset Strip
On the Sunset Strip I tripped and almost got hit by a bus

Oh Well Unwell

-- Lyrics --
I’m unwell
I’m bored as hell
Oh oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
I started feeling strange
At the age of seventeen
Oh oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
I’m unwell
I’m unwell
But I’ll feel better
Yeah I’ll feel better
Yeah I’ll feel better soon
But I’ll feel better
Yeah I’ll feel better
Yeah I’ll feel better soon
Then then we’ll both feel much better
I’m unwell
I ring the nurse’s bell
When I’m bored as hell
Oh oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
I know how you feel
I know how you feel
I know how you feel
I’ve been unwell too

Lips
03:29
|

-- Lyrics --
Your face was almost pink
As you cried into the sink
Surprised us with a smile
And we all felt better for a while
Well something can happen when you’re all alone
Inside your room just enjoying yourself
Someone comes in like a draft of the wind
Then you hear a noise and when you turn your head
And when you turn your head
Then you see stars
Then you wake up
In the back of some car
Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh huh
Well I put lipstick on my lips
It reddened them but I regretted it
You read my mind I read your lips you read my lips
Said be there in the park in about an hour
I said I’ll be there waiting for you
Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh huh
Your face was almost pink
As you cried into the sink
Surprised us with a smile
And we all felt better for a while
Well I put lipstick on my lips like Heliogabalus
And when I dripped you dripped and then we both dipped yeah
You said be there by the fountain or I’ll be sour
I said not like I got anything better to do
Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
Uh huh
Then we both felt better
We both felt better
Yeah we both felt better for a while
Yeah we both felt better for a while but we felt worse afterwards
Your face was almost pink
As you cried into the sink
Surprised us with a smile
And we all felt better for a while

Run Rabbit Run
02:39
|
|||
-- Lyrics --
It’s better than your average day on the boardwalk
They take you to the station and hit you but you won’t talk
Then you talk talk all of a sudden you talk you talk
You’re spinning the vinnen the vilen the vinnen the vinnen the vilen the violin
If you’re willing I’m willing to fill in the fill in the canines will bite alright
The lying the stealing the urge that I’m feeling to lie on my belly all night
If I were you and you were I then we'd both be alright
Dog dreaming of being a man and a man dreaming of being a dog
Run rabbit run
Rabbit run
It’s better than your average day on the boardwalk
They take you to the river and shove you but you won’t cross
Then you cross cross all of a sudden you cross you cross
You’re swimming the vinnen the vilen the vinnen the vinnen the vilen the violin
If you’re willing I’m willing the worm is a-wriggling the catfish will bite alright
The wheeling the dealing the guilt that I’m feeling is keeping me up at night
If now was time and time was now then we can switch tonight
Cat dreaming of being a fish and a fish dreaming of being a cat
Run rabbit run
Rabbit run
If you want to survive
Then you and I we think alike
But I don’t want to pretend
That I’ll be yours until the end
It’s better than your average day on the boardwalk
Run rabbit run
Rabbit run rabbit run
Rabbit run rabbit run
Rabbit run rabbit run
Rabbit run rabbit run
Rabbit run

Terrible Horse
02:15
|
|||
-- Lyrics --
Terrible horse
kicked his master
threw his rider
drank no water
lied in the river dead
died
flies buzzing around his head and eyes
I’m so tired of the lake of fire
I’m so tired of the lake of fire
I’m so tired of the lake of fire
But the Fountain of Youth has no use
And I try to get loose but it’s no use
And the Fountain of Youth has no use
And I try to get loose but it’s no use
Holy Ghost Holy Ghost
Here comes
Holy Ghost Holy Ghost
Terrible horse
What a disaster
Ran much faster
Wicked laughter
Poison river
Drank lead
Flies buzzing around his eyes and head
Holy Ghost Holy Ghost
Here comes
Holy Ghost Holy Ghost
I’m so tired of the lake of fire
I’m so tired of the lake of fire
I’m so tired of the lake of fire
But the Fountain of Youth has no use
And I try to get loose but it’s no use
And the Fountain of Youth has no use
And I try to get loose but it’s no use

The Flea
03:17
|

-- Lyrics --
I’m riding on a wave of
Human hair
Lost contact
With the outside
I’ve been your flea
For years
And it’s like heaven
Just like heaven
To me
I’m riding on a wave of
Human fear
No admittance
Of guilt
I’ve been your flea
For years
And it’s like heaven
Just like heaven
And it’s like heaven
Just like heaven
To me
I’m sincerely yours
And I’ll be always
And sincerely yours
