So many things, I didn't say
Is it too late
Now that you've gone away
So many words, so many ways
If you can hear me now
There's something I've gotta say

Just one more talk
Just one more touch
Just once too much, then

I just wanna say
Thank you, for everything
You've ever done for me
(Done for me)
I just wanna say
Thank you, for all the things
For saving me
(Saving me)

So many times, so many days
You helped me through
Walked me through the rain
So many tears, have washed away
If you can hear my voice
There's something I have to say

Just one more talk
Just one more touch
Just once too much, then

I just wanna say
Thank you, for everything
You've ever done for me
(Done for me)
I just wanna say
Thank you, for all the things
For saving me
(Saving me)

It's been so long
They say time will heal everything
Could you send me a sign
To fill this whole in my life

Turn on a light
To help me see through it all
Noone left to rescue me
Save me!

-Solo-

Just one more talk
Just one more touch
Just once too much, then

I just wanna say
Thank you, for everything
You've ever done for me
(Done for me)
I just wanna say
Thank you, for all the things
For saving me
(Saving me)

I just wanna say
Thank you, mother
Thank you, father
Thank you, sister
(Saving me)
I just wanna say
Thank you, brother
Thank you, daughter
All my best friends

Rape me
Rape me my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me my friend

Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?

My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn

Rape me
Rape me my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!
Rape me!

Chill, light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
So while I scatter my spit, I dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's your mix, congratulations

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

I bet you light up when we start the show
Follow me now very closely 'cuz I told you so
You know, we glow because we throw sun rays
Yeah we be freaky and we wanna stay

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Lightning strikes, yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
Because we're dope kid, change like a chameleon
And the channel whenever the wack show Real World is on
You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers, on the wax we are self made
Check the technique, 311 in L.A.

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we've always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down, and
We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we've always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

(Verse 1: manCHILD)
I push my pen past the breaking point, the point of no return
Past the pointed fingers, past the point at which you learn
Past ideas and perceptions, past lies and deception
Pass my life around the room to try to make the right connections
My obsession is this; past cash, past crime
Past beats, past rhymes, past life and past time
After time, time is money, time out, timing is everything
Your mind's my forty acres, on these fertile plains I'm settling
I'm steadily gold medaling in peddling what's the truth
Point my finger to the heavens and grip the heart to break it loose
I'd bear my soul to save the youth and place myself upon the altar
Make this world a better place both for my wife and for my daughters
And that's a hard lesson to learn, because mankind's so unkind
Like political prisoners who threaten the agenda of One Time
One rhyme can't change the world, so make no mistake
And that's just my point.yeah, that's the point I'm trying to make

(Hook)
One rhyme can't change the world, but sill I'll never back down
Speak my peace on microphones and fade into the blackground
What's wrong has prospered too long, it's time to take it back now
Write what's right upon walls and fade into the blackground

(Verse 2: Sintaxtheterrific)
Sintax the backlit shadow box backdrop
Silouette of the sunset across the concrete blacktop
Bet He's more brilliant and beautiful than we thought
Burn fame on the fingers of flame from sunspot
Then bask in the black where the spotlight's not
Mic rock late at night so nobody can watch
Some serve in daylight, Christ taught behind the scenes
So I caught his sunstream with the sea of the unseen
Humility sunscreen, I thank God for anonymity
My geneology is a forest of family trees
More branches than a bank, thank you's to pass around
Put gratitude on paper, extend my words like verbal pounds
Remember my past like people in small towns
Regard simple truth and profound, then write 'em down
I've found I like to watch autumn leaves just fade to brown
They turn without a sound, I'd like to fade into the blackground
Then drown the well renowned, pound my pride until it backs down
Clown myself just so that Yahweh can abound
Soul Heir the manCHILD and Sintaxtheterrific
We ripped it for a lifetime, but we'll vanish in an instant
Blink once and you missed it

(Hook)
What's wrong has prospered too long, it's time to take it back now
Write what's right upon walls and fade into the blackground
One rhyme can't change the world but still I'll never back down
Speak my peace on microphones and fade into the blackground.

(Verse 3: manCHILD)
I build this lifeline in the nighttime, hide my presence in this place
Anonymity's a witch, but I've grown acccustomed to her face
And it's broken, camouflage my emotions, chosen token
Spoken to those cold and frozen and watched new life awoken
Got that close to closing notion, overdosing on the ocean
No one knows this unsung hero, the dirt that makes the tree grow
But it's all right, I'm a peace in the puzzle like Bill Cartwright
Programmed to command the mic with deepspace5 all night
I'm the fly on the wall who's watching each and every bar fight
I'm the brick wall backdrop that's decorated in the starlight
Mars ILL, we do battle deep in the belly of the beast
And as the b-boy backspins, we be the cardboard that's beneath
See this wedding of art and science and let's all live and grow together
I'll choose to keep the memories and you can choose to buy the records
Maybe make that life better, leave that soul no longer vacant
And let the prejudice skeptics keep warm with blanket statements
With patience I set my paces on city streets of Atlanta
While my people being slandered by that false propaganda
Got answers, got questions, gotta teach and learn lessons
ManCHILD spits one rhyme and it tastes like sunshine
Holy, divine design, peace to the nines worldwide
Play my part to perfection and softly fade into the B-side

(Hook)
One rhyme can't change the world, but still I'll never back down
Speak my peace on microphones and fade into the blackground
What's wrong has prospered too long, it's time to take it back now
Write what's right upon walls and fade into the blackground
Refuse to be pimped into a record label's cash cow
Speak what's real upon reels and fade into the blackground

Love and hate, get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day, let it fade
Who was there to take your place
No one knows, never will
Mostly me, but mostly you
What do you say, do you do
When it all comes down

Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need again
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

There is no blame, only shame
When you beg, you just complain
The more I come, the more I try
All police are paranoid
So am I, so's the future
So are you, be a creature
What do you say, do you do
When it all comes down

Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

Shoot up, shoot up
Shoot up, you're high

Love and hate, get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day, let it fade
Who was there to take your place
No one knows, never will
Mostly me but mostly you
What do you say, do ya do
When it all comes down

Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

Why did you, why did you, why did you, why did you
Why did you, why did you, why did you, why did you
Why did you

Come down
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
This cloud, this cloud, this cloud, this cloud
This cloud, this cloud, this cloud, this cloud

Nonpoint - The Shortest Ending

When will the pages stop turning
How could there possible be this many
My fingers are burning from turning
What feels like a million pages for me no
Makes no difference to me
I'm up to me knees with miles to go
no way to really know
What's left to find about the future
......life to the shortest ending

pre-chorus:
Is this the end will the story finally turn read
Is this the end will the story finally

Chorus:
It's the longest way to the shortest ending
It's the longest way to the shortest ending

Agruments,happiness... with a smile popularity, contests,
and miracle miles of traveling wonderful days
........one thousand degrees even under the shade


trying everything just to finish this
insaking everything to keep from giving this
all enough for a chance to see the begining and shortest ending

prechorus
chorus

No matter how hard I try to deny
You deny what you....
...........................
...........................
Well I'm starting the story again are you standing in the way this won't end
there'd still be an end ..... we will win we know that we won't saying you do
when you know that you don't

prechorus
Is this the end to the shortest ending

Please Correct Where Needed!

And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowing through the feeling
With a knife to open up the sky's veins

Some things will never change
You just stand there looking backwards half unconscious from the pain
It may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is something that will never change

And when I should have been done a long time
Laughs and says I'll find ways
Just when we shelter under paper
The rockets come at us sideways

Some things will never change
You just stand there looking backwards half unconscious from the pain
It may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is something that will never change

It may imply
Good vibes
Flow from time
Oh loosed on

And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowing through the ceiling
With a knife to open up the sky's veins

Some things will never change
You just stand there looking backwards half unconscious from the pain
It may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is something that will never change

Some things will never change
You just stand there looking backwards half unconscious from the pain
It may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is something that will never change

Something takes a part of me
Something lost and never seen
Every time I start to believe
Something's raped and taken from me...from me

Life's got to always be messing with me
You wanna see the light
Can't they chill and let me be free?
So do I
Can't I take away all this pain?
You wanna see the light
I try to every night, all in vain...in vain

Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace

Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap f*** for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

Feeling like a freak on a leash
You wanna see the light
Feeling like I have no release
So do I
How many times have I felt diseased?
You wanna see the light
Nothing in my life is free...is free

Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace

Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap f*** for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

Dah boom nah dah mmm nah dah heema!
Dah boom nah dah mmm nah dah heema!
Dah boom nah dah mmm nah dah heema!
Dah boom nah dah mmm nah dah heema!
Dah boom nah dah mmm nah dah heema!
Dah boom nah dah mmm nah dah heema!

So... fight!
Something on the...

Some things they fight
So...

Nah dah heema!
Fight!
Some things they fight

Some things they fight

Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap f*** for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

Part of me
Part of me
Part of me

*Lyrics in parentheses sung by Jen Ledger.
I'm just a step away,
I'm a just a breath away;
Losin my faith today,
(Falling off the edge today!)

I am just a man,
Not superhuman;
(I'm not superhuman!)
Someone save me from the hate;

It's just another war,
Just another family torn;
(I'm falling from my faith today!)
Just a step from the edge,
Just another day in the world we live;

I need a Hero,
To save me now!
I need a Hero!
(Save me now!)
I need a Hero,
To save my life!
A Hero'll save me!
(Just in time!)

I gotta fight today,
To live another day;
Speakin' my mind today,
(My voice will be heard today!)

I've gotta make a stand,
But I am just a man;
(I'm not superhuman!)
My voice will be heard today!

It's just another war,
Just another family torn;
(My voice will be heard today!)
It's just another kill,
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves!

I need a Hero,
To save me now!
I need a Hero!
(Save me now!)
I need a Hero,
To save my life!
A Hero'll save me!
(Just in time!)
I need a Hero,
To save my life!
I need a Hero!
Just in time!

Save me just in time...
Save me just in time...

Who's gonna fight for what's right,
Who's gonna help us survive,
We're in the fight of our lives!
(And we're not ready to die!)

Who's gonna fight for the weak,
Who's gonna make 'em believe,
I've got a Hero!
(I've got a Hero!)
Livin' in me!

I'm gonna fight for what's right,
Today I'm speaking my mind,
And if it kills me tonight,
(I will be ready to die!)

A Hero's not afraid to give His life,
A Hero's gonna save me just in time!

I need a Hero,
To save me now!
I need a Hero!
(Save me now!)
I need a Hero,
To save my life!
A Hero'll save me!
(Just in time!)

I need a Hero!
Who's gonna fight for what's right,
Who's gonna help us survive!

I need a Hero!
Who's gonna fight for the weak,
Who's gonna make 'em believe!

I need a Hero!
I need a Hero!

A Hero's gonna save me,
Just in time!

No sleep till--Brooklyn!

Foot on the pedal, never ever false metal
Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
My job ain't a job, it's a damn good time
City to city I'm running my rhymes
On location, touring around the nation
Beastie Boys always on vacation
Itchy trigger finger but a stable turntable
I do what I do best because I'm willing and able
Ain't no faking, your money I'm taking
Going coast to coast to watch all the girlies shaking
While you're at the job working nine to five
The Beastie Boys at the Garden cold kickin' it live

No sleep till--

Another plane, another train
Another bottle in the brain
Another girl, another fight
Another drive all night
Our manager's crazy, he always smokes dust
He's got his own room at the back of the bus
Tour around the world, you rock around the clock
Plane to hotel, girls on the jock
We're trashing hotels like it's going out of style
Getting paid along the way 'cause it's worth your while
Four on the floor, Ad Rock's out the door
MCA's in the back because he's skeezin' with a whore
We got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack
With dice in the front and Brooklyn's in the back

No sleep till--
No sleep till Brooklyn
No sleep till Brooklyn

Ain't seen the light since we started this band
MCA, get on the mike my man
Born and bred Brooklyn, U.S.A.
They call me Adam Yauch
But I'm M.C.A..
Like a lemon to a lime
A lime to a lemon

I sip the def ale with all the fly women.
Got limos
Arena
TV-shows
Autograph pictures and classy hos

Step off homes
Get out of my way

Taxing little girlies from here to L.A..
Waking up
Before I get to sleep

'Cause I'll be rockin' this party eight days a week!

No sleep till -
No sleep till Brooklyn! No sleep till Brooklyn !

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the King
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Hard and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?
Wish I might, Wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing. just to play the King
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Huh!

Wish I may, wish I might
Have this wish, I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish you may regret it
Careful what you wish you just might get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the King
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing

Oh, You're just nothing
Where's your crown King Nothing?
Oh, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing

Off to never never land

Hollywood whore
Passed out on the floor
I'm sorry but the party's over

Cocaine nose and trendy clothes
Gotta send her to rehab
She found out she's got no soul
But it really doesn't bother her
White trash queen, american dream
Oh, what a role model
Throwing a fit, making a scene
Like no tomorrow

Hollywood whore
Passed out on the floor
Can't take it no more
I'm sorry but the party's over
The talk of the town,
is she's going down
I'm sorry but the party's over now

Awake by noon, drunk by four
Sucked up in the showbiz
You're so lame, you're such a bore
I wanna kick your teeth in
Plastic smile to match your style
We can tell you got a facelift
You're so vain, oh so vile
You're a number one hit

Hollywood whore
Passed out on the floor
Can't take it no more
I'm sorry but the party's over
The talk of the town,
is she's going down
I'm sorry but the party's over now

The cameras are gone, and nobody screams
She couldn't survive her fifteen minutes of fame
Her friends are all gone, she's going insane
She'll never survive without the money and fame
It's all going down the drain...

Hollywood whore
Passed out on the floor
I'm sorry but the party's over
The talk of the town,
is she's going down
i'm sorry but that party's over

Hollywood whore
Passed out on the floor
I'm sorry but the party's over
The talk of the town,
is she's going down
i'm sorry but that party's over

WAKE UP! The party's over
WAKE UP! The party's over
WAKE UP! The party's over
WAKE UP! The party's over now

HA-HA-HA-HA!
Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya, honey!
HA-HA-HA-hA-HA!!!

Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin'
Sorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad we talked

Oh, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, oh

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look
Oh, you know where
Now, I can't see, I just stare

I, I'm still alive
Hey, I, but, I'm still alive
Hey, I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah

Oo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh

Is something wrong? she said
Well, of course, there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so, if so, who answers? who answers?

I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive
Yeah, I'm still alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Crowded streets are cleared away
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run

You're so cold, keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while strong men die

Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's all right
Let's give this another try

If you find your family
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry

You're so cold but you feel alive
Lay your hands on me one last time

Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's all right
Let's give this another try

Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's all right
Let's give this another try

It's all right (x9)

Shriek the lips
Across a ragged tongue,
Convulsing together.
Sing violently,
Move the jaw
Cry out loud.
Bound up the Dead
Triumphantly

The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
You pray so hard on bloody knees.
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
Down in the cool air I can see.

Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast

Stir the limbs across the wrist,
Full possession of memory.
Bury me as a dog,
Icy hands surrounding me.

The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
You pray so hard on bloody knees.
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
Down in the cool air I can see.

Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast

Shriek the lips
Across a ragged tongue,
Convulsing together.
Sing violently,
Move the jaw
Cry out loud.
Bound up the Dead
Triumphantly

The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
You pray so hard on bloody knees.
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
Down in the cool air I can see.

Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
