THE 11th HOUR top

Hey little sister, do you know what time it was?
When you finally seen all your broken dreams 
Come crashing down your door
They demand an answer, and they demand it quick
Or the questions fade and the wasted days
Come crawling back for more

And i say: do you know where the power lies?
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies?
It starts and ends with you

The face of isolation, well that's one you recognize
Well you can't get straight, it's a lonely place
And it's one you do despise
Boredom is for sale now and helplessness you feel
It's a wounded dove and the hawks are above
Blood splattered on a reel to reel

And i say: do you know where the power lies?
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies?
It starts and ends with you

I was almost over, and my world was almost gone
In a sudden rush i could almost touch 
The things that i'd done wrong
My sungle's made of concrete through the silence i could feel
My aim is true and i will walk on through
These mountains made of steel

And i say: do you know where the power lies?
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies?
I say: it starts and ends with you
It starts and ends with you
I say: it starts and ends with you.


ROOTS RADICALS top

Took the 60 bus out of Downtown Campbell
Ben Zanado he was on there he was waiting for me
All the punk rockers and the moon stompers
Are out on the corner where they're sparing for change

I started thinking you know i started drinking
I don't really remember too much of that day
Something struck me funny when we run outta money
Where do you go now when you're only fifteen?

When the music execution and the talk of revolution bleeds on me
And it goes...

Give 'em the boot the roots the radicals
Give 'em the boot y'know i'm a radical
Give 'em the boot the roots the reggae on my stereo

The radio was playing Desmond Dekker was singing 
On the 43 bus as we climb up the hill
Nothing incoming but the reggae strumming
And we all come from unloving homes

I say: why even bother and pick up the bottle
Mr. Bus Driver please let these people on
Rude girl Carol was a mini-skirt girl
My blurry vision saw nothing wrong

When the music execution and the talk of revolution bleeds on me
And it goes...

Give 'em the boot the roots the radicals
Give 'em the boot y'know i'm a radical
Give 'em the boot the roots the reggae on my stereo

On my stereo!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

OLYMPIA WA top  

Hangin' out with Lars down on 6 th street
He knew he was in trouble
I was feeling much like the devil
There was something burning deep inside of me
Ran into three puerto ricans
These girls took us to the funhouse
Where we played a lonely pinball machine

Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of them seem to be goin my way
New York city, well I wish I was on a highway 
Back to Olympia

I'm havin' a hard time understandin'
It gets all to demandin'
Shes all gone and I'm strangin' 
Something burning deep inside of me
All I know it's 4 o'clock and she ain't never showed up
And I watched a thousand people go home from work

Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of them seem to be goin my way
New York city, well I wish I was on a highway 
Back to Olympia

How many times will it take me before I go crazy
Before I lose everything
Something burnin' deep inside of me
Ran into three puerto ricans
Those girls took us to the funhouse
I don't wanna be alone again

Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of them seem to be goin my way
New York city, well I wish I was on a highway 
Back to Olympia


LOCK, STEP AND GONE top

The ending isn't here 		there's something wrong
But it's comin' real soon 	I lock, step I'm gone
I said the feeling isn't fear 	there's something wrong
Its just telling you to move 	I lock, step I'm gone

A fire on the corner and its nver gonna stop 
Killer in the neighborhood never got caught 
I lock up my door step out and I'm gone
Waitin' for the buses but the buses won't come

All the docks are quiet 	there's something wrong
And there's no ships comin' in 	I lock step I'm gone
Where there once was a riot 	there's something wrong
There's a whole lot of nothing 	I lock, step I'm gone

The stop signs broken and the meters goin' down
Wild dogs are running themselves into the ground
Everything was clear for that moment in time
If I don't come back well throw me a line

Well the docks are quiet 	there's something wrong
And there's no ships comin' in 	I lock, step I'm gone
Where there once was a riot 
There's a whole lot of nothin' 
There's a whole lot of nothin'
There's a whole lot of nothin'
There's a whole lot of nothin'


JUNKIE MAN top

The common man doesn't suffer pain like this
Only the soul that has never been kissed
Let us adore our beautiful son
He's riding on the rivers of Babylon
Bootin up and shootin up and bring on the brightness
See the son of god is coming up and there is a likeness
Internalize the lunacy the misery is showing 
When you're brought up you're caught up in a system that is going

No one answers no one takes that call from you
No one answers no one takes that call from you
No one answers no one takes that call from you

Junkie man tell me what your story is (repeat)

Water water water water i desire
Some parent's house is on fire
Slowly the house is gonna burn to the ground
The neighborhood will watch without a sound
Someone be your witness please tell me that he's crazy
But he's not and they know that can't get himcuz he's not crazy
Beat him lock him knock him take away his authority
Hit him strip him club him submitted conformity

No one answers no one takes that call from you
No one answers no one takes that call from you
No one answers no one takes that call from you

Junkie man tell me what your story is (repeat)

My hand went blind you were in the vein clairvoyant
My hand went blind i make love to my trance sister
And my trance parents see as i looked out on the big field
It opens like the cover of an old bible
And out come the wolves out come the wolves 
Their paws trampling the snow the alphabet
I stand on my head watch it all go away

Bootin up and shootin up and bring on the brightness
See the son of god is coming up and there is a likeness
Internalize the lunacy the misery is showing 
When you're brought up you're caught up in a system that is going

No one answers no one takes that call from you
No one answers no one takes that call from you
No one answers no one takes that call from you

Junkie man tell me what your story is (repeat)

RUBY SOHO top

Echoes of reggae comin to my bedroom wall
Havin a party up next door but i'm sittin here all alone
Two lovers in a bedroom and the others start to shout
All i have is this blank stare and i'm wearing no clout at all

Destination unknown 
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

He's singin and she's there to lend a hand
He's seen his name on the marquee but she would never understand
Once again he's leavin and she's there a tear in her eye
Embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye

Destination unknown
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

Ruby's heart ain't beatin cause she knows the feelin is gone
She's not the only one who knew there's something wrong
Little lover's in a distance as she wipes a tear from her eye
Ruby's fading out she disappears it's time, time to say goodbye

Destination unknown

DALY CITY TRAIN top

He was an artist and a writer
And a poet and a friend
In a mans life he will take it all
But how low he goes it just depends

He's shootin' dope in the men's room
At the station daly city train
Have you ever seen an angel well I know I have
They'll stay here for a while then I fly away

Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him 
When he rolled the dice you know he never thought twice 
Never thought twice about being here

Some grox up and some grow down
But what about the kid who never learned the rules
Spent all these years on this earth
When you look back it's just a flicker of time

Jackyl was one of the one's that
He was one of the ones that was already saved 
Through all this evil and wreckage, yeah
He maintained a sense for himself

Some men are in prison even though they walk the streets at night
Other man who got the lockdown are free as bird in flight

Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him 
When he rolled the dice you know he never thought twice 
Never thought twice about being here
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him 
When he rolled the dice you know he never thought twice 
Never thought twice about being here


JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE EAST BAY top

Reconcile to the belief consumed in sacred ground for me
There wasn't always a place to go 
But there was always an urgent need to belong and 
All these bands and all the people
All these friends and we were equals but
What are you gonna do when everybody goes on without you

To the end to the end i'll journey to the end
To the end to the end i'll journey to the end
To the eeeeend, eeeeeend 
To the end to the end i'll journey to the end

Started in '87, ended in '89
You got a garage or an amp we'll play anytime
It was the four of us, yeah man the core of us
Too much attention unavoidably destroyed us
Four kids on tour, three thousand miles
In a four door car not knowing what was going on
You got a million years it would turn out like this
Hell no premonition could've saved us

To the end to the end i'll journey to the end
To the end to the end i'll journey to the end
To the eeeeend, eeeeeend 
To the end to the end i'll journey to the end

Matty came from far away, 
From New Orleans into the East Bay
He said this is a mecca
I said this ain't a mecca man, this place is fucked
Three months go by, he had no home, 
He had no food, he's all alone
Matty said fool me once shame on you
He said fool me twice he went back to New Orleans

To the end to the end i'll journey to the end
To the end to the end i'll journey to the end
To the eeeeend, eeeeeend 
To the end to the end i'll journey to the end


SHE'S AUTOMATIC top

The way that she moves, well i was aroused
Impowered impassioned by every move
It's so cold outside we need a place to hide
Go into the club to thaw out for the night

She's automatic, so automatic, 
The way that she moves, the way that she moves
She's automatic, so automatic
The way she moves

Situation so tricky i was feeling so proud
The bass and the drums the music so loud
She asked me if i would stand at her side
Like glue that i would until the end of the night

She's automatic, so automatic, 
The way that she moves, the way that she moves
She's automatic, so automatic
The way she moves

My head was spinnin a million miles an hour
The chance i was takin, i get anxious around her
She put her head on my shoulder, i started to hold her
Swinging and swaying, the morning began

She's automatic, so automatic, 
The way she moves, the way she moves
She's automatic, so automatic
The way she moves yeah

I said the way she moves yeah
I said the way she moves yeah
I said the way she moves


OLD FRIEND top

Good morning heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Good morning heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again

Look up you're in Cleveland again
A solid line that never ends
I've got stories you'll never beleive
And i know it, i wear it, i wear it on my sleeve

There must be somethin about you that i liked
But right here in the rain it just don't seem right
I always go out, i never hide
But in Cleveland i should have stayed inside

Good morning heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Good morning heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again

Testify my love for you
I know it runs deep through your body too
From the cold blacktop to the hot concrete
The old tan van it ain't so sweet

Good morning heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Good morning heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again

Somewhere in America, in the city at night
We were far from home, but you know
It was gonna be alright

The unfortunate get prayed on by vulture eyes
86 cents on this pocket of mine
You can take my money, you can take my time
But you can't take my heart in the city behind

Good morning heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Good morning heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again

Now i'm crucified!

Crucify me, crucify me, crucify me

AS WICKED top

I saw this old man on the street
He was in a dumpster looking for something to eat
He moved so slow like a dying dream
Like a machinist who got caught in the machine

I saw this lady and she was crying 
She said it's hard when someone you love is dying
I saw this kid he's about five years old
He's in the park all alone and it's cold

There's something comin round

As wicked as it may seem as wicked as anything could be
As wicked as it may seem as wicked as anything could be

I know this girl she's barely alive 
She's all haggard she's only 25
She said she never had a friend before
I said "Hey girl i'll be your friend but who's keeping score"

I saw this other little girl on the phone
Her mom comforts her from far far from home
The little girl was very hesitant
Her best friend lies dead on the pavement

There's something comin round

As wicked as it may seem as wicked as anything could be
As wicked as it may seem as wicked as anything could be

na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na

I always end up back on the hill
Looking down at the landfill
I always go there when i can
My friend Marty said "Tim, you're a lucky man"

There's something comin round

As wicked as it may seem as wicked as anything could be
As wicked as it may seem as wicked as anything could be

THE WAY I FEEL top

Pick me back up just to throw me back down
Apologies too late when you're up against the wall
Compassion heals while duplicity kills
You say that i'm different, you say that i'm different
The only different thing is... the way i feel about you!

nananana...

You moved up the ladder at a very rapid speed 
We moved methodically and calmly
When you got to ther top you saw enemies
You say that i'm different, you say that i'm different
The only different thing is... the way i feel about you!

nananana...

If i knew then what i know now 
That it would all turn out like this
I'd sit back and i'd watch you squirm
You say i'm different, you say i'm different man
The only different thing is... the way i feel about you!

nananana...
