I been stuffed in your pocket
For the last hundred days
When I don't get my bath
I take it out on the slaves
So grease up your baby
For the ball on the hill
I'm polish them rockets now
And swallow those pills
And say oh...

Space Lord Mothermother

There's a car in the field
Now in a column of flame
With two doors to choose
But only one bears your name
You been drinkin' my blood
Well I been lickin' your wounds
Well I'll shave off the pitch now
And the scope of your tune
You'll sing oh...

Space Lord Mothermother

I left my throne
A million miles away
I drink from your tit
I sing the blues every day
Now give me the strength
To split the world in two yeah
I ate all the rest
And now I've gotta eat you
Well I say

Milkin' my nightmares
And usin' my name
You're strokin' my cortex
If you know I'm insane
I'm squeezed out in hump-drive
And I'm drownin' in love
Encompass immortal
Position above
And sing oh...

Space Lord Mothermother

I left my throne
A million miles away
I drink from your tit
I sing the blues every day
Now give me the strength
To split the world in two yeah
I ate all the rest
And now I've gotta eat you
Well I say

I lost my soul when I fell to earth
My planets call me to the void of my birth
The time has come for me to kill this game
Now open wide and say my name

Space Lord Mothermother
Space Lord Mothermother
Space Lord Mothermother
Space Lord Mothermother
Space Lord Motherf***er (fading out)

I am what you fear most
I am what you need
I am what you made me
I am the American Dream

I'm not selling out; I'm buying in
I will not be forgotten
This is my time to shine
I've got the scars to prove it
Only the strong survive
I'm not afraid of dying
Everyone has their time
Life never favored weakness
Welcome to the pride

Disneyland, Whitehouse, JFK, and Mickey Mouse
John Wayne, Springsteen, Eastwood, James Dean
Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Playboy, "text me"
NFL, NBA, Brett Favre, King James

I am all-American
I am living the dream
I am what you fear most
I am anarchy

I'm not selling out; I'm buying in
I will not be forgotten
This is my time to shine
I've got the scars to prove it
Only the strong survive
I'm not afraid of dying
Everyone has their time
Life never favored weakness
Welcome to the pride

Since the dawn of time
Only the strong have survived
I will not be forgotten

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life (I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch, without your love
Darling, only you are the life among the dead

(All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me)
I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
(Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul)
Don't let me die here (There must be something more)
Bring me to life

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life (I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Down on his knees he sees the devil weeping/whinging his tongue
Mr. Cadillac doesn't even know he's been fighting his own
He's been trying shooting all the angels/devils inside
Playing around with the good and the evil in his mind
Alone in the desert and cold so cold

Driving back to the 10 house city something is wrong
He found the killer weapon in his car on the floor
Delusional the blood lost paint his mind in a cave
Feeding monsters in the back of his head
Killer, ripper, who are you
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood I'm waiting for something that's better

Welcome to a world of chaos, you've been caught in the light
Saw the door to the 10 house tale 7 shots in the night

Standing in the dark and shaking my own hand for a while
Saw the angel/devil vanished out in the light
Breathing new air for a day to begin
Soulless body with an empty shell
Killer, ripper, who are you
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood I'm waiting for something that's better

The price was high to pay and the memories are all crying like a child
A reason for all the blood that leaked, and a call up for the wild
Follow me to relentless street where all pain and love will die
7 shots in the body fakes well the loaded mind

Driving back to the 10 house city something is wrong
He found the killer weapon in his car on the floor
Delusional the blood lost paint his mind in a cave
Feeding monsters in the back of his head
Killer, ripper, who are you
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood I'm waiting for something that's better

Welcome to a world of chaos, you've been caught in the light
Saw the door to the 10 house tale 7 shots in the night

I came into this world as a reject
Look into these eyes
Then you'll see the size of the flames (size of the flames)
Dwellin on my past (past)
It's burnin on my brain (ah)
Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain
Hey, I think about the day (days)
My girlie ran away with my pay
When fellas came to play (play)
Now she's stuck with my homies that she f***ed
And I'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat, hey

Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)

Should I be feelin' bad? (no)
Should I be feelin' good? (no)
It's kinda sad I'm the laughing stock of the neighborhood
And you would think that I'd be movin' on (move it)
But I'm a sucker like I said
F***ed up in the head, not!
And maybe she just made a mistake
And I should give her a break
But my heart will ache either way
Hey, what the hell, what you want me to say?
I won't lie, that I can't deny

I did it all for the nookie, c'mon
The nookie, c'mon
So you can take that cookie
And stick it up your (yeah!)
Stick it up your (yeah!)
Stick it up your (yeah!)
Stick it up your

I did it all for the nookie, c'mon

Stick it up your

Why did it take so long? (why)
Why, did I wait so long, huh?
To figure it out, but I did it
And I'm the only one
Underneath the sun who didn't get it
I can't believe that I could be deceived (but you were)
Not by my so-called girl, but in reality
She had a hidden agenda
She put my tender, heart in a blender
And still I surrendered, hey

Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)
Like a chump (hey)

I did it all for the nookie, c'mon

So you can take that cookie
And stick it up your (yeah!)

So you can take that cookie
And stick it up your (yeah!)
Stick it up your (yeah!)

Stick it up your

I'm only human
It's so easy for your friends to give you their advice
They'll tell you, just let it go
It's easier said than done
(I appreciate it) I appreciate it, I do, but
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone

And nothing gonna change
You can go away
I'm just gonna stay here
And always be the same

And nothing gonna change
'Cause you can go away
And I'm just gonna stay here
And always be the same

And nothing gonna change
'Cause you can go away
I'm just gonna stay here
And always be the same

And stick it up your (yeah!)
Stick it up your (yeah!)
Stick it up your (yeah!)
Stick it up your

So you got a new car
The music's blasting through the speakers
You won the lottery two days ago
You say it changed
Your life forever

You despise everyone
Who is not like you
You say that's the only way
To survive these days

You quit smoking
'Cause you said if you smoke you die
And became a vegetarian the very next day
Think that's all that's gonna take to make up for the past

(Chorus)
What you're gonna do with all the money?
And how you're gonna sleep at nights?
And where you're gonna go in the morning?
When you're gonna realize this isn't what you want?

So you just drove to the park
Walk in the dark
And remember how you used to be
Just you and the city
Where everything's real
Where the mailman knows who you are
And where there's always a place to go when you need to cry
Just in case you don't have enough reasons to go crazy

(Chorus)
What you're gonna do with all the money?
And how you're gonna sleep at nights?
And where you're gonna go in the morning?
When you're gonna realize this isn't what you want?

You say that's a perfect life
I don't want it
You say that's a perfect life
I don't want it
I don't want it

"The story of my life, man..."

I. The Rover(Instrumental)


It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
And as I turn to you you smiled at me
How could we say no?
With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Woah the songs to sing
When we at last return again, yeah
Oh
Oh

Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
To know the streets the seaman hears
The devil in his hole
Oh to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Oh
Ooh

Into the sun the south the north
Lies the first of hope
Shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah
Oh oooh

To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
Ooooh

Oh, yeah


Oh, yeah
Here we go
Wanted to know, oh, oh
Sing out hare, hare, oh
Dance the hoochie koo
The city lights
Oh so bright
As we go sliding
Sliding, sliding, sliding
Through
Oooh
Oooh
Oh, all right

Yeeaah!

Gotta leave town
Got another appointment
Spent all my rent
Girl you know I enjoyed it, yeah!
Ain't gonna hang around till there's nobody dancing
I don't wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright!

Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
She was shakin' her hips
So that was all that I need

Gonna check her out
She's my latest attraction
Gonna hang around
Wanna get a reaction, yeah!
Gonna take her home 'cos she's over romancing
Don't wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright!

Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
She was shakin' her hips
So that was all that I need
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees

Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting

Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
She was shakin' her hips
So that was all that I need
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me

Don't let go.
Tonight, where did you go?
Your expression is familiar.

Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence?
One step from lashing out at you
You want in to get under my skin and call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you, what do I do?

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes who I am where I've been belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time

Re-spect, walk
What do you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?
Are you talkin' to me?

Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes who I am where I've been belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time

Re-spect, walk
What do you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?

Re-spect, walk
What do you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?
Are you talkin' to me?
No way punk!

Re-spect, walk
What do you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?

Re-spect, walk
What do you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?
Are you talkin' to me?
Walk on home boy.

There's no money
There's no possessions
Only obsession
I don't need that s***
Take my money
Take my obsession.

I just wanna be heard
Loud and clear are my words
Comin' from within' man, tell 'em what you heard
It's about a revolution
In your heart and in your mind, you can't find the conclusion
Lifestyle and obsession
Diamond rings get you nothin' but a lifelong lesson
And you're pocket book stressin'
You're a slave to the system, workin' jobs that you hate
For that s*** you don't need
It's too bad the world is based on greed
Step back and see
Stop thinkin' 'bout yourself, start thinkin' 'bout...

There's no money
There's no possession
Only obsession
I don't need that s***
Take my money
Take my possession
Take my obsession
I don't need that...

'Cos everything is nothing
And emptiness is in everything
This reality is really just a f***ed-up dream
With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul
Flip it inside out, it's a big black hole
Take your money burn it up like an asteroid
Possessions, they are never gonna fill the void
Take it away and learn the best lesson
The heart, the soul, the life, the passion.

There's no money
There's no possession
Only obsession
I don't need that s***
Take my money
Take my possession
Take my obsession
I don't need that s***.

Money...
Possession...
Obsession...

Present yourself, press your clothes
Comb your hair and clock in,
You just can't win, just can't win
The things you own, own you now!

Take my money
Take my possession
Take my obsession
I don't need that s***.

F*** your money
F*** your possession
F*** your obsession
I don't need that s***.

Money...
Possession...
Obsession...
I don't need that s***.

My reflection, dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover; I'm your zero
I'm the face in your dreams of glass

So save your prayers, for when we're really gonna need them
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?

She's the one for me; she's all I really need, oh yeah
She's the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty, just like me

Intoxicated with the madness; I'm in love with my sadness
Bulls*** fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth

I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down

You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more

She's the one for me; she's all I really need, oh yeah
She's the one for me
She's my one and only

I'm not gonna waste this
This opportunity's mine
I'm sick of complaining
About a beautiful life

How did we get here?
Did we forget all the things inside?
And how do we stay here?
Do we embrace all the things tonight?

I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over and we're older

For my entertainment
You tell a whimsical lie
To keep me complacent
You knock me down with a smile

How did we get here?
How do we pretend everything's alright?
And how do we stay here?
Do we erase all the fear inside?

I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over and we're older

Like sugar and cyanide
These walls are going to collide
I want to yell it from the rooftops down
Until it's over and we're older

So take me
But go slow
Let me hide somewhere I know
And let this
Seed grow
Until we finally call this home

So take me
But go slow
Let me hide somewhere I know
And let this
Seed grow
Until we finally call this home

If I was to die tonight
Would it tear you apart?
Would you yell it from the rooftops down?
Until it's over and you're older

I feel so alive tonight
You've me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over and we're older

Like sugar and cyanide
I wasn't meant to collide
I'm gonna yell it from the rooftops down
Until it's over and we're older

In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer Stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come [x4]

Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
Sometimes far too long for snakes
In my sh***
Walking sleep
In my youth I pray to keep
Heaven send hell away
No one sings like you any more

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) [x4]

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just disappear

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) [x7].

Behind closed doors your words ring hollow
What you said they'd be
What behavior?
Who are you, but I like it
Now I'm done with nothing new
Sometimes green sometimes blue

And I'm guilty
And I'm guilty
And I'm guilty
And I'm guilty
And you're guilty too

He, hey, hey I'm guilty
And you're guilty too
Hey, hey, hey, hey

I'll tell you something, something new
You're hearing nothing, nothing true
You're killing me, I'm killing you
And I'm guilty too

One two three
I found you out so easily
One two three
I found in you what I found in me
The time is wrong, the time is right
Be careful who you kill tonight

And I'm melting
And I'm melting
And I'm melting
And I'm melting
And I'm melting in you

Hey, hey, hey I'm guilty
And you're guilty too
Hey, hey, hey, hey

One and one and one makes three
One and one why don't you see
I'm killing you, you're killing me
Can't you set me free

Inside out,
I can't describe it
What you do to me
Inside out
I cannot hide it
Looking right through me
Now I've reached the living end
Pointing fingers to defend

And I'm guilty
And I'm guilty
And I'm guilty
And I'm guilty
And you're guilty too

Hey, hey, hey I'm guilty
And you're guilty too
Hey, hey, hey, hey

I'll tell you something, something new
You're hearing nothing, nothing true
You're killing me, I'm killing you
And I'm guilty too
