BRAIN OF J. Who's got the brain of JFK?What's it mean to us now, yeah?
Oh, it's sound insurance
But I can tell you, this is no lie The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieving {2X} You, you've been taught Whipped into shape, now they got you in line Stand behind the stripe There will be order, so give it a good mind The whole world will be different soon The whole world will be relieving {2X} And by name The name they gave me The name I'm letting go.. The whole world will be different soon The whole world will be relieving {3X} The whole world will be different soon, soon FAITHFULL Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept hereIt's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
Or been stepped on Whatever the notions, we laced our prayers The man upstairs is used to all of this noise I'm through with screaming And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes like this We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it {4X}And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes {2X} We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it {4X} M.Y.T.H. it's Belief in a game. Controls a keeps us in a box of fear
We never listen
Voice inside so drowned out Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing And everything is you Me you, you me, it's all related What's a boy to do?
Just be darling and I will be too
Faithful to you NO WAY There's a token of my open-ness Of my need to not disappear
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me I found my mind too clear I just need someone to be there for.. me I just want someone to be there for.. me All the static in my attic-a
Shoots down my side nerve To the ocean of my platitudes Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd I just need someone to be there for.. I just want someone to be there for.. Someone to be there for.. 'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference I'm not trying to make a differenceI'll stop trying to make a difference
No way {2X} Ooh, let's call in an angel {3X} 'Cause I'll stop trying to make a differenceI'm not trying to make a differenceI'll stop trying to make a difference
No way {2X}No way, no wayLet's call in an angel Who's calling an angel? GIVEN TO FLY He could have tuned in, tuned in But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree The wind rose up, set him down on his knees A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw Delivered him wings, "hey, look at me now" Arms wide open with the sea as his floor Oh, power, oh He's.. flying Oh, oh High.. wide, oh He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed By faceless men, the fuckers He still stands And he still gives his love, he just gives it away The love he receives is the love that is saved And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky A human being that was given to fly High.. flying
Oh, oh High..flying Oh, oh WISHLISTI wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open towards the sky I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you tuned up PILATE Talk of circles and punching out Looking in, drawing circles down
Falling up the south marking ground Talking out of turn, drawing circles down Like Pilate, I have a dog {2X} Walks me out of town Still, one is a crowd Making angels in the dirt Looking up, looking all around Like Pilate, I have a dog {2X}(Obeys, listens, kisses, loves) Stunned by my own reflectionIt's looking back, sees me too clearly
And I swore I'd never go there again Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down, you down, you down Like Pilate, I have a dog {4X}(Obeys, listens, kisses, loves) DO THE EVOLUTIONWoo.. I'm ahead,I'm a manI'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah I'm at peace with my lust
I can kill 'cause in God I trust, yeah It's evolution, baby I'm at peace,I'm the man Buying stocks on the day of the crash On the loose,I'm a truck All the rolling hills, I'll flatten 'em out, yeah It's heard behavior, uh huh It's evolution, baby Admire me, admire my home Admire my song, here's my come Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This land is mine, this land is freeI'll do what I want but irresponsibly It's evolution, baby I'm a thief, I'm a liar There's my church, I sing in the choir:(hallelujah, hallelujah) Admire me, admire my home
Admire my song, admire my clothes'Cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast
Those ignorant Indians got nothin' on me Nothin', why? Because, it's evolution, baby! I am ahead, I am advanced
I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah
I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher Twenty ten watch it fo to fire? It's evolution, baby {2X} Do the evolution Come on,come on,come on War War, all crazy
War, all crazy and war {6X} MFC Sliding out of reverse into drive this We will be turning right, than straight Off in the sunset she'll ride She can remember a time denied, stood by The side of the road, spilled like wine there She's out on her own and line high There's no leaving here Ask I'm an ear She's disappeared They said that timing was everything Made him want to be everywhere There's a lot to be said for nowhere There's no leaving here
Ask I'm an earHe's disappeared There's no leaving here Ask I'm an ear Fuckin. We've disappeared LOW LIGHT Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say Or is it just my way Wind blows by, low light
Side-tracked, low lightCan't see my tracks, yours scent way back Can I be here all alone? Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry Books and jealousy tell me wrong I will feel calm Voice blows by, low light
Car crash, low light Can't wear my mask, your first, my last Voice goes by Two birds is what they'll see Getting lost upon their way Wind rolls by, low light Eye sight, low light I need the lightI'll find my way from wrong, what's real?
The dream I see IN HIDINGI shut and lock the front door No way in or out I turned and walked the hallway And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around But nothing's sound, nothing's sound I'd stay with my last cap left me
Ignored all my rounds Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the wallsThey're upside down I swallow my words to keep from lying I swallow my face just to keep from biting,
I, I.. I swallowed my breath and went deep,
I was diving, diving I surfaced and all around me was enlightened I'm in hiding {4X} It's been about three days now Since I've been aground No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now It's funny when things change so muchIt's all state of mind I swallowed my words to keep from lying I swallowed my face just to keep from biting I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving I surfaced and all around me was enlightened I'm in hiding {8X} PUSH ME, PULL ME(Get me out of here)(It's what I see)
I had a false belief I thought I came here to stay We're all just visiting All just breaking like waves The oceans made me, but who came up with love? Push me, pull me,or pull me out {3X} So if there were no angels,would there be no sin?
You better stop me before I begin
But let me say: if I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground Somewhere nice, make it nice Where the land meets high tide
Push me, pull me, or pull me out {4X} Like a cloud dropping rainI'm discarding all thought I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the groundI'm like an opening band for the sun Push me, pull me {6X} I've had enough, said enough, felt enough,I'm fine ALL THOSE YESTERDAYSDon't you think you oughta rest?Don't you think you oughta lay you head down?Don't you think you want to sleep? Don't you think you oughta lay your head down tonight? Don't you think you've done enough?
Oh, don't you think you've got enough, well maybe..
You don't think there's time to stop?There's time enough for you to lay your head down,tonight, tonight Let it wash away All those yesterdays What are you running from? Taking pills to get along Creating walls to call your own
So no one catches you drifting off and Doing all the things that we all do
Let them wash away All those yesterdays
All those yesterdays All those paper plates You've got time, you've got time to escapehere's still time, it's no crime to escapeIt's no crime to escape, it's no crime to escape There's still time, so escape It's no crime, crime..
