  1. I can't say what I want to,

    even if I'm not serious.

    I can't say what I want to

    Even if I'm just kidding.

     

    People tell me what to say,

    what to think, and what to play.

  2. Where your eyes don't go a filthy scarecrow waves its broomstick arms

    And does a parody of each unconscious thing you do

    When you turn around to look it's gone behind you

    On its face it's wearing your confused expression

    Where your eyes don't go

     

    Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering

    It's a nightmare that you'll never be discovering

    You're free to come and go or talk like Curtis Blow

    But there's a pair of eyes in back of your head

     

    Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders

    What the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of

    Should you worry when the skullhead is in front of you

    Or is it worse because it's always waiting where your eyes don't go?

  3. If you're scared of dying you better

    not be scared to live.

    I've been spending all my days

    giving all I can give.

    Last night I heard someone walking

    through my bedroom door.

    What they want

    I'm not exactly sure.

    A friendly ghost,

    is all I need.

     

    Working time on a broken watch,

    countin' days till the the old shop

    sells me back my saxophone

    and everyone's gonna leave me alone.

    Two times I thought I heard someone

    knocking on the glass.

    I hit my head

    and prayed that it would last.

    A friendly ghost,

    is all I need.

     

    If you're scared of dying you better

    not be scared to live.

    I've been carrying round a grudge,

    I think I better forgive

    Last night I heard footsteps walking

    on the attic floor.

    Got up and

    I opened up the door.

    A friendly ghost,

    is all I need.

  4. Is this what you want

    Every finger points at me

    This might be funny

    If it wasn't such a tragedy

    After a while

    It gets harder to smile

    And pretend that things are ok

     

    So when you need the in the middle of the night

    I won't be there cos you're always breaking my heart

    You're always breaking my heart

    You always tear it apart

     

    So cross yourself now

    Get down on your knees and pray

    But no powers from heaven

    Could ever take the darkness away

    I've tried climbing the walls

    But you've built them too tall

    So it's time I walk away now

     

    And when you call me in the middle of the night

    There's no one there cos you're always breaking my heart

    You're always breaking my heart

    You always tear it apart

     

    Reach out a hand to hold

    Ain't it sad when the distance grows

    Two hearts cling to their fates

    Remember that first embrace

    But I can't worry anymore

  5. You have a natural tendency

    To squeeze off a shot

    You're good fun at parties

    You wear the right masks

    You're old but you still

    Like a laugh in the locker room

    You can't abide change

    You're at home an the range

    You opened your suitcase

    Behind the old workings

    To show off the magnum

    You deafened the canyon

    A comfort a friend

    Only upstaged in the end

    By the Uzi machine gun

    Does the recoil remind you

    Remind you of sex

    Old man what the hell you gonna kill next

    Old timer who you gonna kill next

    I looked over Jordan and what did I see

    Saw a U.S. Marine in a pile of debris

    I swam in your pools

    And lay under your palm trees

    I looked in the eyes of the Indian

    Who lay on the Federal Building steps

    And through the range finder over the hill

    I saw the frontline boys popping their pills

    Sick of the mess they find

    On their desert stage

    And the bravery of being out of range

    Yeah the question is vexed

    Old man what the hell you gonna kill next

    Old timer who you gonna kill next

    Hey bartender over here

    Two more shots

    And two more beers

    Sir turn up the TV sound

    The war has started on the ground

    Just love those laser guided bombs

    They're really great

    For righting wrongs

    You hit the target

    And win the game

    From bars 3,000 miles away

    3,000 miles away

    We play the game

    With the bravery of being out of range

    We zap and maim

    With the bravery of being out of range

    We strafe the train

    With the bravery of being out of range

    We gained terrain

    With the bravery of being out of range

    With the bravery of being out of range

    We play the game

    With the bravery of being out of range

  6. This is the room, the start of it all,

    No portrait so fine, only sheets on the wall,

    I've seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain,

    And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained.

     

    Where will it end? where will it end?

    Where will it end? where will it end?

     

    These are your friends from childhood, through youth,

    Who goaded you on, demanded more proof,

    Withdrawal pain is hard, it can do you right in,

    So distorted and thin, distorted and thin.

     

    Where will it end? where will it end?

    Where will it end? where will it end?

     

    This is the car at the edge of the road,

    There's nothing disturbed, all the windows are closed,

    I guess you were right, when we talked in the heat,

    There's no room for the weak, no room for the weak,

     

    Where will it end? where will it end?

    Where will it end? where will it end?

     

    This is the room, the start of it all,

    Through childhood, thorugh youth, I remember it all,

    Oh, I've seen the nights filled with bloodsport and pain.

    And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained.

     

    Where will it end? where will it end?

    Where will it end? where will it end?

    car

    I drive my car

    I drive it very far

    until i get to the shops

    that is where I stop

     

    I go to buy some food

    and maybe get some booze

    and later that night

    ill probably get into a fight

     

    then when i get home

    I'll feel all alone

    so I'll go to bed

    that's all that will be said
