Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho

She lays down on the fresh lawn
She can make everything magical
But she tied one on big time
And it makes me want to rewind

To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off in any minute
And you know we're gonna win again

Yeah, you know we're gonna win again
Yeah, you know we're gonna win again

Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the paranoid flake-o, yeah

She lays down on the sidewalk
Never very analytical
She is something simply beautiful
Reappear with youth and magical

Back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off in any minute
Yeah, you know we're gonna win again

Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the paranoid flake-o

I'm the one, I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho
I'm the one, I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho

Back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off in any minute
And you know we're gonna win again

Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the paranoid flake-o

You're the one, You're the one
(Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one)
Who is the schizophrenic psycho
(Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah)
You're the one, You're the one
(Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one)
Who is the schizophrenic psycho
(Who is the paranoid flake-o)

You're the one, You're the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine
Time won't keep us anymore
It's the usefulness of letting go
Your perfect plan has come and gone
Like the nuclear centuries' benefits

They say
You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach
You bought the same old trip

Lawful, vengeful, awful, friendship, misfits
Bits of feeling, thieving, fits inside revealing
Time to censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie)
You bought the same old

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, paid to
Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie beyond)
You bought the same old trip

Now maybe
I did not mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And now maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And so maybe
Your friends they stand around they watch your crumble
As you falter to the ground
And then someday
Your friends they stand beside as you were flyin'
Oh you were flyin' oh so high

But then someday people look at you for what they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind

Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now I said maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain

No, no, no
Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer

Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what I've known
And then maybe we might share in something great
But won't you look at where we've grown
Won't you look at where we've gone
But then someday comes tomorrow holds
a sense of what I fear for you in my mind
As you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control
It's a shame you left my life so soon you should have told me
But you left me far behind, yeah
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
No, no, no

Oh no
Oh no no no no...
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
I said times have changed your friends
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah, they hold you down
Hold on down
Now maybe lover, maybe love
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind

You're the dark to light
You're never satisfied
You only know things
That will fail to be
The pessimistic one
Who sees the end to come
Every joy is lost to tragedy

And still you wonder why
You cannot find your peace today
Cause you were meant to live
For so much more than this
Now if only you could see

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
There ain't a cloud in sight still
Your heartbeat's cold and grey every day

You know it brings me down
The way you drag around
Your heavy heart just like a stone
Well keep your misery
Don't put it all on me
Cause I've got problems of my own

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
So keep your cloud of darkness
And doom off my parade
Here today

And if I could you know
I'd set off a spark
I would burn it out
I would burn it all the way
And purify your jaded
Cold calloused heart
Someday, I'll find a way

-Solo-

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
There ain't a cloud in sight still
Your heartbeat's cold and grey every day

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
Someday I'll steal the spark
That will burn your doubt away
I'll find a way

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops with me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh God help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, help me

Darkness
Imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

Little black submarines
Operator, please,
Put me back on the line

Told my girl I’d be back
Operator, please,
This is wrecking my mind.

Oh, can it be,
the voices calling me?
They get lost and out of time.

I should’ve seen it glow,
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Pick you up, let you down, when I wanna go
To a place I can hide

You know me, I had plans
But they just disappear
To the back of my mind
Oh, can it be,
the voices calling me?
They get lost and out of time.

I should’ve seen it glow,
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Treasure maps, fallen trees
Operator, please,
Call me back when it’s time

Stolen friends and disease,
Operator, please
Pass me back to my mind

Oh, can it be,
the voices calling me?
They get lost and out of time

I should’ve seen it glow,
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Spring is here again.

Even with a diagram of my DNA
I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day
They try to pick apart my life-style and how I survive
Making money for the boss while I make nickel and dime
And being on time, takin' a punch and doin' my best
Not ever hearing, 'Good job' and staying upset
It doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Not even with ten men holding me back
Not even with a devious planned attack
Contemplating every move that I play
Willing the bad things all away
Keeping the worry-free happiness philosophy
That's what I let them see when they try to look at me

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Don't want out

These issues arise every day
Though you try to turn your head and walk away
Though it leaves you feeling insecure
You're gonna feel your life mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

The good life is what I need,
Too many people stepping over me;
The only thing that's been on my mind,
Is the one thing I need before I die...

All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...
All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...
(The good life)

I don't really know who I am,
It's time for me to take a stand;
I need a change and I need it fast,
I know that any day could be the last...

All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...
All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...

Hold on, hold on,
I always wanted it this way;
(You never wanted it this way;)
Hold up, hold up,
I always wanted it this way;
(You didn't ask for it this way;)
I always wanted it this way...

(The good life)

All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...
All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...
(The good life)

I am at war with my absent mind
Fighting for peace and it's hard to find
Maybe tomorrow will be okay
Out of the wreck i rise today

It's easier to be medicated
Reality is i'm uneducated
Black or it's white and i'll call it gray
Out of the wreck i rise today

Fighting political ignorance
Sick of this religious impotence
Careful i don't put it on display
Out of the wreck i rise today

I want your body- i want your legs
I want your blood running through my veins
I want you to breathe every word i say
I refuse to live this way

I want to love the people you came to save
Take possession of the love you gave
I want to believe cause i know someday
Out of this world you're taking me

I am aware that im not alone
Fighting a war a little close to home
Maybe tomorrow will be okay
Out of the wreck i rise today
Out of the wreck i rise today
Out of the wreck i rise today
Out of the wreck i rise

There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say
There's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

There's a place where nothing seems to be
A simple night of easy life
It's all your mind, all your mind
Something little shouldn't feel this way
We got a million thoughts we can't complain
It's all your life, all your life

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

These things don't happen here, another fictional reality
It's all your mind, all your mind
It's just as good as any other day
I'm gonna teach you about mortality
Now it's not right, it's not right

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

In many ways I guess I'll never let you go
I'm close behind but I'm a lot more roomier than most
I took my second chance, just enjoy the dance
And found out who we are
Let's find out what we are, never leave asking why

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away, I know why you're running away

Ohhhh...c'mon!

Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back

You see us coming
And you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's best known down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you we're the cowboys from hell

Pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge,
Can't lock me in your cage

You see us coming
And you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's best known down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you we're the cowboys from hell

(guitar solo)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's best known down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you we're the cowboys from hell

Awww, step aside for the cowboys from hell!

There's a screened-in porch in the front, but not in the back. The back's just got a door and a crepe myrtle bush, and a little old dried-up garden, and some woods way on back. There's a hickory nut tree that covers the whole roof. Sounds like hand grenades hitting the tin roof all the time. There's an old wood floor that's bowed-up just about everywhere. It's got a thin coat of white stuff on it, even though it's a dark wood floor. There's a washing machine right outside the back door. It's a ringer washer, the kind they don't use any more. I got my hand caught it in several times and usually got my arse whipped for it, even though I was the one that got hurt. There's a snake stick, that's what they called it anyway, by the back door. 'Cause if you wanted to go outside, you'd usually need it. Everything's green most of the time, except in the winter when you could see the highway. It's not a leaf on the trees. There's an old rock well where we clean the squirrels. I used to sit out there by that and watch the Carbur girl come down the road.

She didn't have but one dress and that's all she needed. It was kind of red and kind of grey, kind of tore-up and kind of perfect. She was built like a brick s*** house. She had polish on her toenails, it only went about half-way down 'cause they was always tore-up. She used to walk across the side yard right by the well and go stand by the crepe myrtle bush and look in the screen door. She'd usually stand there for about ten minutes, and back then I wasn't sure what she wanted. These days I understand. If I'd have known then what I know now, well, my life might have been pretty different. Well, she was about eight or nine years older than I was when I first started school. I knew there was something. There's something about the south, the air is a lot heavier, and it seems like the women sweat, even when they're not.

I don't know if you've ever heard rain on a tin roof or not, but it's kind of tailor made for love. And one day I was in the house and I was looking back toward the back screen-door and there she was. Standing there for ten minutes. The only thing different this day is that my daddy went back there and talked to her. He told her she looked pretty. I thought the same thing, but there's something about the look in his eye that was a little different than the one I had in mine. And he walked outside and they went past the crepe myrtle bush and past the well and out into the green. And I walked to the back door and I watched for a long time. All I could see was trees. And after a time, I really couldn't count, and they came back out. And my daddy was walking way ahead of her, and she was kind of following, almost running. He acted like he didn't want to have anything to do with her and I was wondering why. Why would you be so happy going in and so down coming out? I don't know. That's what I thought then. He didn't act like she was so pretty any more. Now I think I get it. I think I've got it several times.

Looking around
Wondering what this is for
Sure it's fine but i don't think i need this anymore
I took down my self appearance
And i found the definate clearance
I'm getting bored
inspiration is drained
Till i see your face is boredom
beside me...

:Chorus:
Feel this
Once one more to
Make sure its not a dream
I can't stand here any longer
Please don't wake me up
Your such a perfect dream
of all i ever...
Wanted at all

Bringing me down
A flow as the glass hits the floor
Shattered pieces
It's not what it used to be anymore
Rided it out on broken pieces
Tell me now what is your thesis
I need it more
To make it through the day
Till i see your face is boredom
beside me.....

:Chorus:

I never met this dream...
Reality
Once I fall inside of you
Again its so hard
To keep my mind off of you
To keep my arms off of you

So unreal
So sureal

But,You're just a dream
You're far away
Boredom will follow around me again

Can you feel that?

Ah s***

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing,
Broken your servant I kneel
(Will you give it to me?)
It seems what's left of my human side is slowly changing in me
(Will you give it to me?)
Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes
There is no turning back now,
You've woken up the demon in me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow into me.
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up, come on get down with the sickness
You f***er get up, come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift that has been given to me.

I can see inside you the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give it to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
and is decaying in me
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes
Oh, no, The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me.

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow into me.
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up, come on get down with the sickness
You f***er get up, come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift that has been given to me.

And when I dream...
And when I dream...
And when I dream...
AND WHEN I DREAM!!!

No mommy, don't do it again!
Don't do it again!
I'll be a good boy!
I'll be a good boy, I promise!
No mommy, don't hit me--OW!
Why did you have to hit me like that mommy?
Don't do it, you're hurting me--OW!
Why do you have to be such a b****?
Why don't you-- why don't you just f*** off and DIE!
Why can't you just f*** off and DIE?!
Why can't you just leave here and DIE?!
Never stick your hand in my face again, b****!
FUCK YOU!
I don't need this s***, you stupid sadistic abusive f***ing whore!
How would you like to see how it feels, mommy?
Here it comes, get ready to DIE!!!

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow into me.
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up, come on get down with the sickness
You f***er get up, come on get down with the sickness
Madness has now come over me!
