Now you do 03:59
Now you do another tv screen washing brain machine another us and them with the ties and tongues you think you are immune with your car and your loan until you get dispose you start to feel the lows now that shit hits the fan now you do you do understand now that shit hits the fan now you do understand one more hopeless dawn it's too cold or too warm it seems it's never right the time to open our eyes the birds they still sing the bees still they buzz the sun still it shines love awaits to be grabbed another tv screen washing brain machine another us and them another us and them

Wanderer 03:33
Wanderer I thought to try it once more didn't give it much of a thought I assumed that I'd learned a lot I knew the tricks of the job Then I fell down to earth all have been changed even myself when I fell down to earth then all my assets were gone couldn't see who I really was my memories were all gone so I panicked from the go I was feeling full of doubts and lot of pain inside I fell the world has gone mad and somehow got screwed up I thought to try it once more didn't give it much of a thought I assumed that I'd learned a lot I knew the tricks of the job

Bound to break down I need her I need her bad call her by day, call her at night I feel so down, I feel so sad I'm bound to break down Bound to break down I feel so down, I feel so sad I'm Bound to break down Bound to break down I wash my hands, I clean my heart I say my prayers, built up a shrine I feel so down I feel so sad I'm bound to break down I feel so down, I feel so sad I'm bound to break down I got no money, I got no car I got no job, got no stamina I feel so down I feel so sad I'm bound to break down I feel so down I feel so sad I'm bound to break down I sleep in tent, outside of town I spend my nights under the stars I feel so down I feel so sad I'm bound to break down I feel so down I feel so sad I'm bound to break down
4.
Trouble's fine the moon is looking bright the night's just began I'm ready to go out the stars are shining down I'm driving aimlessly in my chevy '66 the pick up's on cruising speed it's music from the past Tonight is gonna be fine I'm gonna take your advice leave old troubles behind and start a new one for fun I'm thinking in advance how the night's going to end up I'm getting all fired up I'll let chance to decide now the room is pretty full the cowgirls are looking good I approach the one with golden plaits turns out her boyfriend is a heavy weight the moon's somewhere there the night is pretty dark but the lights are very bright the stars in my head I'm feeling a bit rundown I'm feeling a bit fucked up I wanted to have fun I ended up in a fight
5.
Don't quit 10:57
Don't quit you feel it well, you sense it right something's there that you are missing out you lost your touch, all your faith's in the past you never thought, you would stay this long you are only a seed, that waiting is only a seed that waits to be a rose is nice a rose means love but you forgot a rose got thorns Don't quit now don't quit now, that you are feeling down you feel so worn, you feel so tired it seems like nothing could cheer you up you locked yourself up, don't leave the house now are missing out what we call life you read the news, another death and war bout you forget that million things are being born you haven't cash, you own nothing you feel you failed cause you don't play the game you are feeling weak, you are rather frail you need a boost for your mental health there's so much weight in everyday you feel your legs as concrete made the rain outside is unbearable the cold gets into your rusty bones now try to play another game my friend do something else you would have never dared
6.
I had a woman He had a woman she left me one day she said no word and vanished just like smoke He had a woman she had no name she come in my dreams and lie down with me He had a woman she was bit mad of what i did in my waking life He had a woman she was pure class she wore black stockings and corset to match He had a woman she loved me mad or that's what she said I had my doubts He had a woman she was never mine she made that so clear when I look in her eyes He had a woman she comes in my dreams she likes to tease me when I'm half asleep He had a woman that was all I had or that's what I thought in my lonely nights He had a woman She left me somehow if you her around tell her please to come back
7.
Down Down Down I'm going down running out of time I'm going down feels I'm gonna crash I'm going down I've been kicked out of town I'm going down gonna hit the ground I'm going down I'm feeling like a clown I'm going down I'm ready to touch down I'm going down Don't want to be shut down I'm going down and I won't be found Down Down Down I'm going down it's not gonna be fun I'm going down don't know how to land I'm going down Like a drunken fly I'm going down I'll be damned I'm going down my hands seem jammed I'm going down it seems I was too high I'm going down there's no way I'll survive I'm going down I'm going down
8.
Sign of love 03:28
Sign of love behold behold another sign's been shown but eyes are closed and hearts are stones behold behold floating on the waves but move by a monster undertow it's the sign of love that you always miss when it comes to you behold behold time has come things will change, we should be prepared Behold behold what if God's a metaphor? and Love is God and God is Love Begone begone bellicose thoughts begone begone oil and war begone begone atomic threats begone begone shame on them behold behold ego's showing up mind's burning up I can hear you whine behold behold peace and love that’s all there is that's all there is
9.
She leaves without goodbye Her body around my arms full Virgo moon shines bright right up there in a silky sky this time I'm sure I'll walk her out she always leaves without goodbye and I don't care that she wears lipstick again I'm gonna kiss her anyway I’m gonna kiss her anyway will it be tonight? I ponder in my weary mind there's an energy I cannot tame there's a feeling I cannot help there's a broken thought deep in my head why is it that beauty hurts? For one day and hundred she got a hold of my heart she moves mysteriously around and leaves without saying goodbye her worshippers go and die and I don't care that she wears lipstick again I'm gonna kiss her anyway I’ll try to kiss her anyway
10.
The Changeling On awakening from my sweat-soaked dream My sweetheart quells desires, serene my last night lover on my pillow Hanging head like weeping willow Each night a sorrowed life I build Of emptiness, embittered chill Don't ring my bell though I wish you come again my tears don't dare to ease my heart From fears of anguish she imparts Inside of me, my whole being screams For heaven's sake just let me be you've teased my weakest part Left me drowning in my art Everyday I see your unpaid bill Your squalid life on tenement hill on which, I no longer climb Buried deep in ravages of time Don't ring my bell though I wish you come again
