FALLING TO
PEICES
Back and forth,
I sway with the wind
Resolution
slips away again
Right through
my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's
out of reach and it's in the dark
Sometimes
I think I'm blind
Or I may
be just paralyzed
Because
the plot thickens every day
And the
pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away
But I know,
there's a picture beneath
Indecision
clouds my vision
No one
listens...
Because
I'm somewhere in between
My love
and my agony
You see,
I'm somewhere in between
My life
is falling to pieces
Somebody
put me together
Layin'
face down on the ground
My fingers
in my ears to block the sound
My eyes
shut tight to avoid the sight
Anticipating
the end, losing the will to fight
Droplets
of "yes" and "no"
In an ocean
of "maybe"
From the
bottom, it looks like a steep incline
From the
top, another downhill slope of mine
But I know,
the equilibrium's there
Indecision
clouds my vision
No one
listens
Because
I'm somewhere in between
My love
and my agony
You see,
I'm somewhere in between
My life
is falling to pieces
Somebody
put me together
UP
THE REAL THING
Mike Patton: So
what, are you ready to fucking go home?
I know the
feeling
It is the
real thing
The essence
of the truth
The perfect
moment
That golden
moment
I know you
feel it too
I know the
feeling
It is the
real thing
You can't
refuse the embrace...
It's like
the pattern below the skin
You gotta
reach out and pull it all in
And you feel
like you're too close
So you swallow
another dose
The pinnacle
of happiness
Filling up
your soul
You don't
think you can take any more
You never
wanna let go
To touch the
roots of experience
The most basic
ingredients
To see the
unseen glitter of life
And feel the
dirt, grief, anger and strife
Cherish the
certainly of now
It kills you
a bit at a time
Cradle the
inspiration
It will leave
you writhing on the floor...
This is so
unreal, what I feel
This nourishment,
life is bent
Into a shape
I can hold
A twist of
fate, all my own
Just grit
your teeth, make no sound
Take a step
away and look around
Just clench
your fist and close your eyes
Look deep
inside, hypnotize
The whisper
is but a shout
That's what
it is all about
Yes, the ecstasy,
you can pray
You will never
let it slip away
Like the sacred
song that someone sings through you
Like the flesh
so warm that the thorn sticks into
Like the dream
you know one day will come to life
Try to hold
on just a little longer, stronger
It's the jewel
of victory
The chasm
of misery
And once you
have bitten the core
You will always
know the flavor
The split
second of divinity
You drink
up the sky
All of heaven
is in your arms
You know the
reason why
It's right
there, all by itself
And what you
are, there is nothing else
You're growing
a life within a life
The lips of
wonder kiss you inside
And when it's
over the feeling remains
It all comes
down to this
The smoke
clears, I see what it is
That made
me feel this way...
This is so
unreal, what I feel
Flood, sell
your soul, feel the blood
Pump through
your veins, can't explain
The element
that's everything
Just clench
your fist and close your eyes
Look deep
inside, hypnotize
Yes, the ecstasy,
you can pray
You will never
let it slip away
Like the echoes
of your childhood laughter, ever after
Like the first
time love urged you to take it's guidance, in silence
Like your
heartbeat when you realize you're dying, but you're trying
Like the way
you cry for a happy ending, ending...
I know

EPIC
Mike Patton: This
next song...is a song...that has four letters in title...and it starts
with an "e"
Can you feel
it, see it, hear it today?
If you can't,
then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never
understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels
so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool,
it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy,
it's outta sight
You can touch
it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes
no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet
You want it
all but you can't have it
It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor
So you lay
down on it and you fuck it some more
You've got
to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare
it and you tear it
You want it
all but you can't have it
It's in your
face but you can't grab it
It's alive,
afraid, a lie, a sin
It's magic,
it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
It's dark,
it's moist, it's a bitter pain
It's sad it
happened and it's a shame
You want it
all but you can't have it
It's in your
face but you can't grab it
What is it?
It's it
What is it?...
What the fuck
is it?
Make my day
UP
WAR PIGS
Generals gathered
in their masses
Just like
witches at black masses
Evil minds
that plot destruction
Sorcerers
of death's construction
In the fields
are bodies burning
As the war
machine keeps turning
Death and
hatred to mankind
Poisoning
their brainwashed minds, Oh Lord yeah
Politicians
hide themselves away
They only
started the war
Why should
they go out to fight
They leave
that all to the poor
Time will
tell on their power minds
Making war
just for fun
Treating people
just like pawns in chess
Wait til the
judgement day comes
Now in darkness
world stops turning
As you hear
the bodies burning
No more warpigs
have the power
And as God
has struck the hour
Wda-wda-wda-wda-wda-wda-wda-wda
On their knees
the warpigs crawling
Begging mercy
for their sins
Satan laughing
spreads his wings, Oh Lord yeah
UP
FROM OUT OF NOWHERE
Tossed
into my mind, stirring the calm
You splash
me with beauty and pull me down
You come from
out of nowhere
My glance
turns to a stare
Obsession
rules me-I'm yours from the start
I know you
see me-Our eyes interlock
You come from
out of nowhere
My glance
turns to a stare
One minute
here and one minute there
Don't know
if I'll laugh or cry
One minute
here and one minute there
And then you
wave good-bye...
Sifting to
the bottom, every day for two
All energy
funnels, all becomes you
You come from
out of nowhere
My glance
turns to a stare
One minute
here and one minute there
Don't know
if I'll laugh or cry
One minute
here and one minute there
And it hurts
inside
One minute
here and one minute there
And then you
wave good-bye...
UP

ZOMBIE EATERS
You're everything
That's why
I cling to you
When I emerge
My thoughts
converge to you
To you
The world
is so small
Compared to
you
And everybody's
wrong
Compared to
you
To you
I begin to
see through your eyes
All the former
mysteries are no surprise
So now, you
listen
Cuz I'm omniscient
Hey look at
me lady
I'm just a
little baby
You're lucky
to have me
I'm cute and
sweet as fuckin' candy
As charming
as a fable
I'm innocent
and disabled
So hug me
and kiss me
Then wipe
my butt and piss me
I hope you
never leave
Cuz who would
hear me scream?
Nobody understands
Except the
toys in my hands
So now you
listen
Cuz I'm omniscient
Hey look at
me lady
I'm just a
little baby
If I smile,
then you smile
Then I'll
get mad for awhile
I melt in
your mouth
And in your
hands whenever I can
But I really
do nothing
Except kickin'
and fussin'
I like to
make a mess
I laugh at
your distress
I sit all
day in my crib
Absorbing
all you give
I'm helpless
I'm flawless
I'm a machine
Give me, I
need my toys...
Keep me hot
Keep me strong
Keep me everlong
So now you
listen
Cuz I'm omniscient

EDGE OF THE WORLD
Mike Patton: It's
time to snap kids, it's time to fuckin' snap, god dahm-it
Billy or Roddy:
That means you!
Mike Patton:
Listen! It was real
Roddy: The
first time we...I can't sing you guys
Mike Patton:
I don't think there's even anybody up there man. Okay were gonna start.
Hey man shut up.
Come here,
my love
I'll tell
you a secret
Come closer,
now
I want you
to believe it
I'll tell
you all the things
You want to
hear
Don't worry,
baby
There's nothing
to fear
Hey, little
girl
Would you
like some candy?
Look into
my eyes
I've seen
it all
Hand in hand
Together we
fall
We'll sing
and dance
And we'll
find romance
And we'll
stroll to the edge of the world
Come sit right
down
Lay your head
on my shoulder
It's not the
point
That I'm forty
years older
You can trust
me
I'm no criminal
But I'd kill
my mother
To be with
you
We'll sing
and dance
And we'll
find romance
And we'll
stroll to the edge of the world
Give me a
smile
Let me see
those pearlies
I'll do anything
For the little
girlies...hey baby
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
wooh yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
you know what to do!
WHAT?
Gaba-gaba-gaba-gaba

THE COWBOY SONG
Tears fall
Discard your innocent dreams
Loves fall
They kinda
leave you empty
Leaves fall
The seasons
pass you by
And you think
That maybe
you can fly
Ceilings fall
With each
romance you encounter
Clouds fall
With each
moment of despair
Buildings
fall
The pavement
is their bed
But what's
the last thing
That goes
through your head
You take the
elevator to the top
The next thing
you know
There you
are standing on the edge
And all the
flashing lights and futile cries
They're hopeful,
you know ???
Just close
your eyes and take that final step
Rains fall
They dampen
your will to live
Gods fall
With each
pleasure that you give
You fall
And take the
whole world with you
But will you
even bother to look down
You take the
elevator to the top
The next thing
you know
There you
are standing on the edge
The circumstance
it turns you inside out
So we can
have peace ???
Before you
find out what's inside your head
What's inside
your head!
You take the
elevator to the top
The next thing
you know
There you
are standing on the edge
The circumstance
it turns you inside out
So we can
have peace ??? (maybe ... So weak and happy ... suggestions?)
Before you
find out what's inside your head
And all the
flashing lights and futile cries
They're hopeful,
you know ??? (like they're hopeful that he'll jump)
Just close
your eyes and take that final step.
