BUTTERCUP
vHagar, Smith, Toback, Gossardv

And I love to tie you up
And you love to let me down
We both try to cover it up
With a sound

You ain't my buttercup
It ain't my little duel
I know that ain't no part of the deal
We're through ..

Let me tell you
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time

And I'd love to share the cost
Butterfly
The reason why we need to fly
High away
Yeah ..

It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Before we're thrown back in the wheel
Before we're thrown back in the wheel

Maybe I will be hard pressed
Maybe we are more simple too
Ain't no region of water

Before we get back in the wheel
Before we get back in the wheel
Before we get back in the wheel
Before we get back in the wheel

MY FINGERS
vHagar, Smith, Toback, Gossardv

Yesterday was quite a day
I'm amazingly well
All my tears and worries
My lady can't tell you
But wait until my mind is scarred
I'm buyin'

Don't have to tell you my reasons Lord
Don't have o show me your fingers God
Don't have to reason you'll dance all night
Don't have to measure your God all the time

Yesterday I beg
You give my love a try
Oh c'mon with attitude
and let it fly yeah

Don't have to tell you my reasons Lord
Don't have to tell me your fingers are mine
Don't have to reason you'll dance all night
Don't have to measure your God all the time

NADINE
vGossard, Smithv

Yeah, I'm all over this
I may be afraid
I'm over, you see
I swear, I swear
I'm out on a mission
Don't worry me with "no better"
You'll always be loving
And I swear .. I swear

If I let you want to be, one time
If I let you want to beat this time
Yes, I'll never be the one to say no
Reach out inside, yes and nevermind
If I let you get me

Yeah, I'm all over this
I'm into the shelter
My mind is scarred with my name
And I swear .. I swear

Ain't no reason I can't be alive
If I can make you want to make me doubt
Yes, there's nothing left but being at home
If I can rest, you might get before ?
Yes, I got my man
You get around and I'm gone
Yes, I know and everything that walks will go shakin'
Na na na ..

Yes, it's your turn
I'll always be there
My friend ..
Sex me, sex me ..

SCREEN
vSmithv

Here's the best thing I ever wanted
I'll do my best to justify
All of my actions
The way you do you hair and
The clearing of the truth as I see

And hold on to nothing
To lay out a bed
Of the Lords favorite rings
Hold on, minds
Be real

And you'll never know just how dark this screen can be
Will you ever know just how dark this screen can be

The reason I'm living high
At the moment is ..
Probably hard to understand
Lay back and never let the wanderer get away
And run tears is all that I can do

And you'll never know just how dark this screen can be
Will you ever know just how dark this screen can be
Do you ever know just how dark this screen can be

Here is the best thing that I ever wanted
And I'll my best to justify
All of my actions
Be real
Yeah

Sha na na ..

20TH CENTURY
vHagar, Smith, Toback, Gossardv

Well I'm swearing to God
Yeah, I'm so nervous
I can not feel anything
Save the tips of my fingers
Whenever comes
Just might not be the moment
Raise the roof, Yeah let's get out of this
My friends
20th Century
My friends
My friends
Pay attention y'all
To the signs
Pay attention to the questions
Let the energy rise to the moment
Yeah, that look in your eyes no description
My friends
20th Century
My friends
20th Century
My friends
20th Century
My friends
My friends
Just a little bit farther ..

GOOD NEWS
vSmithv

Gather around and choose the fair
All these weapons are free
Carrying armour
'till I can't feel my hands

Gather round sister and change for us all
'cause I'm no better than to lay my hands on the ground

And out of this urge I crumble down
Rolling the girls out for you
I don't know nothing
And I don't understand

Gather round sister and change for us all
'cause I'm no better than to lay my hands on the ground

It's never been news to me
It's never been news to me

Gather up and rise around this circus in town
And I'll tell you it ain't free
Freakshow orders and ..
I don't understand

Gather sisters and lay down your arms
'cause I wanna show there's a reason for getting mine
Yeah

It's never been news to me
[Girl, you're breaking me up]
It's never been news to me
[Girl, you're breaking me up]
It's never been news to me
[Girl, you're breaking me up]
It's never been news to me

RAISE LOVE
vHagar, Smith, Toback, Gossardv

Welcome now where we belong
We hit 'em while we're new
Givin' up my action
I swear that'll come to you
And tell me if it seems
That they'll be given to you to find
And what will you define the world
That'll make the life to lose

And raise love
To highlight
The world of dream and ecstasy
Problems and attitude

I'll take from this
And I swear there won't be nothing left to do
To give it up would just be the best
Your egos come to you
And in their darknest hour you scream out
Giving into pain
The reason you'll make it my lady
Well let us come again

And raise love
To highlight
The world of dream and ecstasy

DOWN
vTobackv

Raise this spine
Run from bottom on up
Color come on
Bring you blessing outside
Step around you window
Huddle-self game
Bare
Shiver pause for falling
Trance to ingest lava dust
Ease trust catalyst

Down
Down
Low release a rise altered swoon

Down

Spiral churn
Then suffer some calm
Still trip complaining
Web tangle my word
Love bound in lonely
Unmotion owned
Catch shibboleth grin
Devil dream to shoulder sphere
Find base to balance
Rattle shake martyr myth
Ring a pretty path

Down
Down
Low release a rise altered swoon

Down
Down
Spiral churn
Then suffer some calm

ROCKSTAR
vHagar, Smith, Toback, Gossardv

I'm a rockstar
Water walker
I run for the border
I swear it's nothing
I roll out the world
And I swear I'm sad
I worry about nothing
I sleep only seldom
Oh yeah, I'm a walker
Oh yeah, walk on water
I sleep by the fire
I worry about the actions
Of my hands and I swear that
It's the end of the world
And We know out of nothing
Comes every single something
And I'm on
I'm a rockstar water walker

WE
vHagar, Smith, Toback, Gossardv

If there is anything
You need
You can get anything
For free
Out of the darkness comes
A tree
Even out of everything
You see

And rise ..

If you ever feel the need
To hide
Go with the honest answer
Inside
You can tell anyone
You find

To rise ..
