Show me how to live

And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy an eye full of sleep
And in the aching night Under satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure is or is this a disease

Nail in my hand
From my Creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live

And in the afterbirth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my role defines you

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live

And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live

Gasoline

Houses haunted
i just want to go for a ride
out an on
thought i'd set this room a light
left alone
forever and for crimes unclear
with my patience gone
someone take me far from here

burn that gasoline
yea
burn that gasoline

new day only
another day in solitude
houses honest
clearly more than i can bare
drain me all
before i set my world on fire
i am gone
the sun will never set tonight

burn that gasoline
yea
burn that gasoline

no more forests
only a can on red
says danger on it
i have found another way

burn that gasoline
yea
burn that gasoline
burn it all the way
burn it all the way

What you are

when you wanted me i came to you
when you wanted someone else i lived through
when you asked for that i set myself on fire
and if i go
far away
i know you'll find another slave

cause now i'm freed
from what you want
now i'm free
from what you need
now i'm free
from what you are

when you wanted love i cut my veins
and when you wanted love i bled myself again
now all i've had i still love you
i'd give you up forever
and here i go
far away
i know you
you'll find another slave

cause now i'm free
from what you are
now i'm free from what you need
now i'm free
from what you are

than a vision came to me
when you came along
i gave you everything but then you wanted more

cause now i'm free
from what you want
now i'm free
from what you need
now i'm free
from what you are
hey
now i'm free
from what you want
now i'm freed
from what you need
now im free

Like a stone

On a cold wet
afternoon
no room for love and emptiness
by a freeway
i confess i was lost in the pages
of a book
full of death
reading how we'll die alone
and if a god will lay to rest
anywhere we want to go
in your house
i long to be
room by room
patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone
i'll wait for you there
alone

and on my death bed
i will prey
to the gods and the angels
like a pagan
to anyone who will take me to heaven
to a place
i would recall
i was there so long ago
the sky was bruised
the world was black
and there you led me on

in your house
i long to be
room by room
patiently
i'll wait for you there
liek a stone
i'll wait for you there
alone

in all i read
till the day was gone
and i sat in regret
in all the things i've done
for all that i've blessed
and all that i've wronged
in dreams till my death
i will wonder on

in your house
i long to be
room by room
patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone
i'll wait for you there
alone
alone

Set it off

he was standing at the rock
gathering the fog
getting there with no directions
and underneath the arch
turned into a march
and there he found a spot to set this fucker on

set if off
set it on my children
set it right
set it off
set it off my children
allright
set it off
set it on my children
set it fire
set it off
set it on my children

suddenly a shot
ripped into his heart
he needed some attention
and there he played his card
going into shock
the last thing that he said was set this fucker on

set if off
set it on my children
set it right
set it off
set it off my children
allright
set it off
set it on my children
set it fire
set it off
set it on my children

alright (6x)

jesus at the back door
everything is alright
all we need is some direction
everytime the wind blows
everything you don't know
turns into a revelation
it all ends up inside your head
time is wasted

set if off
set it on my children
set it right
set it off
set it off my children
allright
set it off
set it on my children
set it fire
set it off
set it on my children

alright (6x)

Shadow of the sun

Once upon a time
I was on a mind to lay your burden down
and leave you where you stood
you believed i could
you'd seen it done before
i could read your thoughts
and tell you what you saw
and never say a word
but now that is gone
over with and done
and never to return

i can tell you why
people die alone
i can tell you why
the shadow on the sun

staring at the loss
looking for the cause
and never really sure
nothing but a hole
to live without a soul
and nothing to be learned

i can tell you why
people go insane
i can show you how
you could do the same
i can tell you why
the end will never come
i can tell you on
the shadow on the sun

shapes of every size
move behind my eyes
doors inside my head
bolted from within
every drop of flame
lights a candle in
memory of the one
who lived inside my skin

i can tell you why
people go insane
i can show you how
you could do the same
i can tell you why
the end will never come
i can tell you on
the shadow on the sun

shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
shadow on the sun
sun
sun

I am the highway

Pearls that swim the rift of me
long and weary my road has been
i was lost in the cities
alone in the hills
no sorrow i feel
for anything i feel yea

i am not your rolling wheels
i am a highway
i am not your carpet ride
i am the sky

friends and liars
don't wait for me
cause i'll get on
all by myself
put millions of miles
under my heels
and still too close to you
i feel

i am not your rolling wheels
i am the highway
i am not your carpet ride
i am the sky
i am not your blowing wind
i am the sky here
i am not your automn moon
i am the night
the night

i am not your rolling wheels
i am the highway
i am not your carpet rag
i am the sky
i am not your blowing wind
i am the lightining
i am not your automon
i am the night

Exploder

Met a man locked away
for things he hadn't done
innocense on a ball and chain
never feel the sun
a grin on his face
roses in his hands
but when he smiled at me
i could understand

if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're out right you never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you never fear at all

there was a daughter of a man
took his life too young
she swore she'd never do those things
then did just what he'd done
and a boy whose gone insane
voices in his head
no one knows what they say
now his mothers dead

if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're right you never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you never fear at all

cuttin me down
cuttin me down

there was a man who had a face
it looked alot like me
i saw him in the mirror and i fought him in the street
then when he turned away i shot him in the head
then i came to realize i had killed myself

if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're right you never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you never fear

cuttin me down and
cuttin me down

Hypnotize

well if you set your mind to fallin
i know that you can
you got everything you wanted
you've done everything you plan
so let me make an offer
i'm only trying to help
you can make your loan just a little longer
all you got to do is share the wealth

oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself
oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself

i know you've got problems
i see it in your eyes
but if you want to live to see the morning
leave it up to your brother or you get a surprise

oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself
oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself

yea
yea
oh
yea
yea
yea
oh

well it's time to see
you've got to give or your gonna see
hey it's time to see
you've got to give if you wanna believe
you will breathe
it's time to see

(oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself)
(oh no don't you keep your good luck to yourself)

Bring 'em back alive

I was on my way
to the center of the sun
when i lost my wings
and i fell into the crowd
and they carried me
to a hole in the ground
and they burried me
where no one can see
and no one would be around

i
i am a virus
i
i live in silence
i

I was on my way
to a city in the clouds
when i lost my mind
and i had to settle down
then i had a dream
of an island in the sea
where the lepers die
where no one survives
where no one can hear there cries

i
i am a virus
i
i live in silence
i

just like heathens thinking on our feat
believe in god
we're one step
two step
three steps towards the graveyards
hello to the memory
it seems that we forgot

i
i am a virus
i
i live in silence
i
i live in silence
si...el...ence...

Light my way

In my hour of need
on the sea of grey
on my knees
i prey to you
help me find the bones of the dying dead

will you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way

the bullet is a man
from time to time he strays
i compare my life to theres
to this i remain
and unwilling to listen to your answers
and i'm not ashamed to tell you i need you today

won't you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way

and so when i'm lost
and i'm tired and depressed
and when my mind goes astray
won't you light my way
don't save it for another day
don't save it for another day
hey! don't save it for another day
hey! don't save it for another day
hey! don't save it for another day

won't you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way
won't you light my way

Getaway car

The first time i saw you you were
chasin down
a cyclone
all alone in the field
with railyards and clovers i kept rollin on
never thought you'd wind up chasin
me

i settle down
i won't hesitate
to hit the highway
before you leave me to waste no
i'll settle up and i'll help you find something to drive
before you drown yourself

your tired of walkin
and you loathe the ground
the sideway belly touched your feet
black moons to slowly to hold you down
with ring hand you take it out on me

settle down
i won't hesitate to hit the highway
before you leave me to waste
saddle up and i'll help you find something to drive
before you drive me insane

so get yourself a car
drive it all alone
get ourself a car
and ride it on the wind
get yourself a car
and drive it all alone
get yourself a car
and ride it on the wind yea

yea we'll settle down
i won't hesitate to hit the highway
before you leave me to waste
settle up and i'll help you find something to drive
before you drive me insane

get yourself a car
and drive it all alone
get yourself a car
and ride it on the wind
get yourself a car
and drive it all alone
get yourself a car
and ride it on the wind

The last remaining light

Roll me on your frozen fields
break my bones to watch them heal
drown me in your thirsty veins
where i watch and i wait
and pray for the rain

curl like smoke
and breathe again
down your throat
inside your ribs
and through your spine
and every nerve
where i watch and i wait
and you too the herd

and if you don't feel me now
sun will rise
still i'm in grief of the coming night
in the last remaining light

seven moons and seven suns
heaven waits for tose who run
down your winter and underneith your waves
when you watch and you wait
and pray for the day

and if you don't believe the sun will rise
stand alone and greet the coming night
and in the last remaining light

and if you don't believe the sun will rise
stand alone and greet the coming night
and in the last remaining light
light
light
light

Album: Out of exile

Your time has come

Now one fell asleep in the street and he never woke up
And now one died in pieces in his bed with a mouth full of bones
And one threatened me long ago, I saw him melt in the bright light of day
And one laid to rest in a field under stories and clones

I've been wanderin sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come
Your time has come

Now one took some bullets in the chest in a deal gone wrong
And one got a little too depressed and he went and jumped the gun
One got shot right in the face and he somehow survived
But he doesn't know my name or who I am and I'm not surprised

I've been wanderin sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come

I've been wanderin sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come

I've seen 50,000 names all engraved on a stone
Most of them men under the grave years before I was born
All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind
And most of their family and friends have all had their time

I've been wanderin sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
And I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come

I've been wanderin sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
And I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come
Long before your time has come
Long before your time has come
And your time has come

Out of exile

When I first came to this island
that I called by own name
I was happy in this fortress,
in my exile I remained
But the hours grew so empty
and the ocean sent her waves
In the figure of a woman
and she pulled me out to sea

chorus
When you come down to take me home
send my soul away
When you come round you'll make me whole
send my soul away

On the altar of a sunrise
was a wedding in the waves
And inside her shown a young light
from her labor I was saved
Though I've traveled long in darkness
in her harvest I'm embraced

chorus
When you come down to take me home
send my soul away
When you come round you'll make me whole
send my soul away

Now the spires and the gables
grow in orchards to the sky
And the blessings on my table
multiply and divide

chorus
When you come down to take me home
send my soul away
Yeah when you come round you'll make me whole
send my soul away
Yeah when you come down to take me home
when you come round you'll make me whole
Yeah when you come round to take me home
Send my soul away
send my soul away
Send my soul away
send my soul away

Be yourself


Someone falls to pieces
Sleepin all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
And another only fame
Someone tries to hide themself
Down inside their selfish brain
Someone swears his true love
Untill the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
Because every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright

You may win love

But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Doesn't remind me

I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

chorus
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I ilke hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

chorus
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So descretely
We won't look back

chorus
The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything

Drown me slowly

I've got a will this time don't care what you say
I've got a feeling this will all go away
It's in the wind this time it's in the southern sky
I can't walk on water yet won't even try

chorus
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

All that I took with me was a bad taste in my mouth
Went all around the world just couldn't spit it out
Just like ground zero was the surface of the sun
That's a sickness I can't fix it not all at once

chorus
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

Don't let them take you down
You'll leave a better world than you found
Don't let them take you down
You'll leave a better world than you found
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down

chorus
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly

Heaven's dead


Anchor the night, open the sky
Hide in the hours before sunrise
Pray for me not, I won't lose sight
Of where I belong and where you lie

chorus
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had

Shipwreck the sun, I'm on your side
An army of one, onward we'll ride
And whisper your songs, birds to the air
We'll bury all of our burdens there

chorus
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had

Best time you had
For the best time you had
Heaven's dead when you get sad

chorus
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you've had
Heaven's dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time

I'll take it all, arrows or guns
Hundreds or more to save you from one
Save you from one
And Where I'll be
Heaven's dead when you get sad

The worm

Was a time early in life
When I hated everything
Born too young, top of my lungs
Sitting on the bottom rung
Took advice from the wrong shoulder
Took a lot of everything
I've decided to make it alright with my

chorus
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong

Black and blue, suffering fools
By the age of seventeen
Low and high, just one more time
Felt like an eternity
Right or wrong, never too strong
Friends became my enemies
God forsaken, never too late with my

chorus
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong

You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same

chorus
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong

Man or animal

You give me a heart attack
You look like the summertime
You call me an artifact
But I'll save that for another time
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore

Keep your love inside the kitchen
You can feed me anything
Leave the feathers on the chicken
Peel the leather from your skin
I can be young or old
Sweet or sad, hot or cold

chorus
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obidient-
out of control

I will love you more than money
I will breathe you in the smoke
I will drink you in my honey
Sweet and golden down my throat
When you're right, when you're wrong
Head is near, eyes are gone
You can drown my appetite
I will sip your tears at night
You can tie me to a chair
Skin and bones, I don't care
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore

chorus
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient-
out of control
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient-
out of control
out of control

You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that
You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that

Yesterday to tomorrow

Beauty is what the eyes behold
And you burn brighter than most
I chased you thru the midnight streets
To be where I could speak freely
I didn't care what tomorrow held
I felt the world turning only for us
Only bliss now for you and me
Rise up let life's kiss send us reeling
And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We have more than everything
More than man or machine
More than luck
More than fiction
Higher than any religion

And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We'll squeeze the blood out of life
And say goodnight to the silver of old
Even when wrong we're right
Far beyond the world of diamonds and gold
I've come to realize
Where happiness lies
I want you to know I know
And unlike the times before
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets no remorse

Dandelion

Settle down now and sit with me
Let me tell you how this all came to be
A yellow flower with your pedals to the air
And flying on paper wings that brought you here
Summer rolls on in the lazy hours
An ether dream way
Of hummingbirds and clouds
Midnight swims in the cool back waves
And you in my arms as it rolls away

chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine

Born of restless night the moon as a pearl
Playing games down inside your soft warm world
Hear my voice I know that you can
You're the fire in my eyes
The sun as a man
Seasons come along and seasons go
And what they'll leave behind
I don't pretend to know
I'm afraid that all I have missed
Will loom very large when the darkness lifts

chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine

I will ride by your side
Wherever you go
I won't run I won't hide
Just letting you know

chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine

#1 zero


Listen now, let me speak
I will be the dog at your feet
And come along when you call
Be the little bird in your straw and sing you a song
I'll be there to take the fall
Though you tread upon me for no reason at all

chorus
But just when you think you've left me blind
I will keep you in the corner of my eye

I will never leave your side
Though you call me your number one zero
your nevermind
I'll be your king, I'll be your pawn
I will builid a pedestal and put you upon it

chorus
But just when you think you've left me blind
I'll be creeping right up behind
Cause if I need to
I will keep you in the corner of my eye
corner of my eye

Down on the street, over your night
Out of your sleep, out of your sight
if I need to, if I need to
Out of your mouth, in every word
Down in your ego one thing is sure
I will keep you, I will keep you

chorus
But just when you think you've left me blind
I will be creeping right up behind
Cause baby if I need to
Lord, I will keep you in the corner of my eye
I will be the bird in your straw
But you won't get far
I will keep you in the corner of my eye

The curse

Help me I don't know what I'm doin
Help me before I fall to ruin
And if I'm blind, I will lead you on
Come follow me now, before our time is gone

chorus
And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck and never your curse

Help me I don't know what I'm saying
Sometimes this tongue can be betraying
And if I'm wrong, is that such a crime?
And if you want, you can set my words to right

chorus
And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck

And if your eyes forget to well
And if your lies forget to tell
And if our paths forget to cross
It doesn't mean you're lost

chorus
So as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck

If you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck
Cause even at my worst
I will be your luck
never be your curse

Album: Revelations

Revelations

you know what to do, you know what i did
since you know everything just clue me in
i am such a wreck, i am such a mess
i know what i know, why don't you fill in the rest?
i will bring you down, i will make it bad
while you're feelin' proud, why don't you help me?

such a shame that i wouldn't know by now
your revelations
cut me in, i don't wanna live without
your revelations, revelations

you know what to say, you know what i said
you know what i dream sleeping in my bed
you hold all the keys, you know all the roads
why don't you guide me in, if i'm such a lost soul?
i'm spinnin' 'round, i will make you ill
since i'm so broken down, why don't you fix me?

such a shame that i wouldn't know by now (i wouldn't know by now)
your revelations
cut me in, i don't wanna live without (don't wanna live without)
your revelations

i am haunted when i am sleeping
try to give without receiving
it's in the applebite (it's in the applebite)
it's in the days and nights (it's in the days and nights)
in the afterlife we'll reap

such a shame that i wouldn't know by now (i wouldn't know by now)
your revelations
cut me in, i don't wanna live without (don't wanna live without)
your revelations
such a shame, such a shame that i wouldn't know by now
cut me in, i don't wanna live without (don't wanna live without)
your revelations
revelations

One and the same

well they don't hate you, you know they love you
but they're gonna come kill you
they don't mean you any harm
it's just what they do
could be you're mother
could be you're father
or you're best friend in the world

but just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (one and the same)
just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (one and the same)
yeah, yeah, yeah

you wear a mask with a target
keep you're enemies closer
you fall in love from a great height, now the easy part's over
choose you're battles, not you're soldiers
you know they'll show their colors

but just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (one and the same)
just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (one and the same)
hey! hey! hey! hey!

just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same
just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (one and the same)
just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (one and the same)
just like blood and rain, love and pain are one and the same (one and the same)
hey, hey, hey, hey! hey, hey, hey, hey! hey, hey, hey, hey! hey, hey, hey, hey!

Sound of a gun

in the here and the now i'll wait down among the young and the old
with the moon and the ground i play with my childern in my home
this is for the daughters and sons of forgotten one's learning how to stand
this is for the innocent unknown's buried in the sand

all running from a sound of a gun
running from the sound of a gun 'till you're weary
running from the sound of a gun
running from the sound of a gun

from the crack in the blackness i'll wake, it's getting closer every night
in my city the playground is a battleground between the wrong and the right
i could run free as a child i was safe and wild, naked, and unarmed
now i'm gone and safe in my home but some will never stop

running from the sound of a gun
running from the sound of a gun 'till they're weary
running from the sound of a gun
running from the sound of a gun

the open mouth of the city swallowed up the town
on that same old concrete that i still walk down
and it seemed they put a shine on this place when i was young
well maybe i just don't see it now

running from the sound of a gun
running from the sound of a gun 'till i'm weary
running from the sound of a gun
running from the sound of a gun
hey!

i'm running from the sound of a gun
i'm running from the sound of a gun
i'm running from the sound of a gun
i'm running from, running from the sound of a gun
