PRETTY NOOSE 

    I caught the moon today
    Pick it up
    And throw it away all right
    I got the perfect steal
    A cleaner love
    With a dirty feel all right
    Fallout and take the bait
    Eat the fruit
    And kiss the snake goodnight

    Common ruse dirty face
    Pretty noose is pretty hate
    And I don't like
    What you got me hanging from

    Let your motor race
    Pick it up
    And get this mother gone
    Out from and far away
    The wooden stake
    This thing has got me on

    Diamond rope silver chain
    Pretty noose is pretty pain
    And I don't like
    What you got me hanging from

    I don't care what you got
    I don't care what you need
    I don't want anything
    And I don't like what 
    You got me hanging from

    (Music/Lyrics: Cornell)

ZERO CHANCE 

    I think I know the answer
    I stumbled on and all the world
    Fell down
    And all the sky went silent
    Cracked like glass and slowly
    Tumbled to the ground
    They say if you look hard
    You'll find your way back home
    Born without a friend
    And bound to die alone

    I'm thinking of your highness
    And crying long upon the loss
    I've found
    And on the plus and minus
    Zero chance of ever
    Turning this around

    Why doesn't anyone believe
    In loneliness
    Stand up and everyone will see
    Your holiness

    Why doesn't anyone believe
    In loneliness
    Stand up and everyone will see
    Your holiness

    They say if you look hard
    You'll find your way back home
    Born without a friend
    And bound to die alone

    (Music: Shepherd; Lyrics: Cornell)

TY COBB 

    I'm sittin' in a magic hat
    With smoke and mirrors
    And tire rubber fires
    Watch me disappear
    What made it slow you down
    Sucking on a ball and chain
    Another motherfucker goes down the drain
    Hard headed fuck you all
    Just add it up to the hod rod death toll

    Sick in the head sick in the mouth
    And I can't hear a word you say
    Not a bit, and I don't give a shit
    I got the glass, I got the steel
    I got the love to hate
    All I need is your head on a stake
    Hard headed fuck you all
    Just add it on the hot rod death toll

BURDEN IN MY HAND 

    Follow me into the desert
    As thirsty as you are
    Crack a smile and cut your mouth
    And drown in alcohol
    Cause down below the truth is lying
    Beneath the riverbed
    So quench yourself and drink the water
    That flows below her head

    Oh no there she goes
    Out in the sunshine the sun is mine

    I shot my love today would you cry for me
    I lost my head again would you lie for me
    I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
    I lost my head again would you cry for me

    Close your eyes and bow your head
    I need a little sympathy
    Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone
    Who isn't me
    So kill your health and kill yourself
    And kill everything you love
    And if you live you can fall to pieces
    And suffer with my ghost
    Just a burden in my hand
    Just another anchor on my heart
    Just a tumor in my head
    And I'm in the dark

    (Music/Lyrics: Cornell)

APPLEBITE 

    No one can save 
    The pure or the brave
    No one can save them at all
    Grow and decay
    Grow and decay
    It's only forever

    Loosely or tightly
    Everything fits
    Even the wrists on your arm
    Grow and decay
    Grow and decay
    It's only forever

    (Music: Cameron; Lyrics: Cornell)

TIGHTER AND TIGHTER 

    Shadow face
    Blowing smoke and talking wind
    Lost my grip
    Fell too far to start again
    A sudden snake
    Found my shape and tells the world
    Remember this
    Remember everything is just black
    Or burning sun

    And I hope it's a sweet ride
    Sleep tight for me
    Sleep tight for me I'm gone

    Warm and sweet
    Swinging from a windows ledge
    Tight and deep
    One last sin before I'm dead
    A sucking holy wind
    Will take me from this bed tonight
    And bloody wits
    Another hits me and I have to say goodbye

    And I hope it's a sweet ride
    Here for me tonight
    Cause I feel I'm going
    Feel I'm slowing down

    (Music/Lyrics: Cornell)

SWITCH OPENS 

    Hey you slaves go hang your owners
    Draw your names among their ashes
    Put your children on their thrones
    Gather 'round and fall right down

    Here at sundown nothing is when
    Everything is all right
    Switch opens
    Opening around and let's the garden rise
    Switch is on

    Hey you patients
    Where's your surgeon
    Left with your
    Insides open
    Hung your hearts out
    On the table
    Gather 'round and fall right down

    Feel the air now
    Stumbling and wander in the moonshine
    Switch opens
    Nothing is when everything is all right
    Switch is on

    (Music: Shepherd; Lyrics: Cornell)

AN UNKIND 

    We see the vipers of distance
    Crawl into our lives everyday
    Breeding our Edens of hatred
    Pathetically stupid and unkind
    We couldn't look a saint in the eyes

    On the storm
    It's time to go
    On the storm
    It's time to go

    Marching in lines of contradiction
    Forgetting the history we make
    Loving our hangmen as the
    Penultimate joke
    We lack the Moses...to look
    A saint in the eye

    (Music/Lyrics: Shepherd)
