hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain We've been through this auch a long long time Just tryin' to kill the pain But lovers always come and lovers always go An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today Walking away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowin' that you were mine All mine So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain Do you need some time...on your own Do you need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time... on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you Sometimes I need some time...on my own Sometimes I need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time... on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone And when your fears subside And shadows still remain I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame So never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain Don't ya think that you need somebody Don't ya think that you need someone Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one @SONG: The Garden (5:17) You know you're all alone Your friends they aren't at home Everybody's gone to the garden As you look into the trees You can look but you don't see The flowers seem to tease you at the garden Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care What's it with you man, and this garden TURNED INTO MY WORST PHOBIA, A CRAZY MAN'S UTOPIA IF YOU'RE LOST NO ONE CAN SHOW YA, BUT IT SURE WAS GLAD TO KNOW YA ONLY POOR BOYS TAKE A CHANCE, ON THE GARDEN'S SONG AND DANCE, FEEL HER FLOWERS AS THEY WRAP AROUND, BUT ONLY SMART BOYS DO WITHOUT You can find it all inside No need to wrestle with your pride No you ain't losin' your mind You're just in the garden They can lead you to yourself Or you can throw it on the shelf But you know you can look inside For the garden I WASN'T REALLY SCARED LOST MY VIRGINITY THERE, TO A GYPSY WITH BLOND HAIR BUT NOW NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE LIKE A MOUSE INSIDE A MAZE WANDERING ROUND 4 DAZE WITH A SMILE UPON MY FACE, I NEVER WANNA LEAVE THIS PLACE ONLY POOR BOYS TAKE A CHANCE, ON THE GARDEN'S SONG AND DANCE, FEEL HER FLOWERS AS THEY WRAP AROUND, BUT ONLY SMART BOYS DO WITHOUT TURNED INTO MY WORST PHOBIA, A CRAZY MAN'S UTOPIA IF YOU'RE LOST NO ONE CAN SHOW YA, BUT IT SURE WAS GLAD TO KNOW YA BYE BYE SO LONG, BYE BYE IT'S GLAD TO KNOW YA BYE BYE BYE BYE AW...SO LONG @SONG: Garden of Eden (2:36) It's a critical solution And the east coast got the blues It's a mass of confusion Like the lies they sell to you You got a glass jawed toothache Of a mental disease An they be runnin' round back See 'em line up on their knees 'Cause the kiss ass sycophants Throwin' penance at your feet When they got nowhere to go Watch 'em come in off the streets While they're bangin' out front Inside their slammin' to the cruch Go on an throw me to the lions And the whole damn screamin' bunch 'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs 'R' everywhere you turn Tell me how a generation's Ever s'posed to learn This fire is burnin' and it's out of control It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll I read it on a wall It went straight to my head It said "Dance to the tension of a world on edge" We got racial violence And who'll cast the first stone And sex is used anyway it can be Sometimes when I look out It's hard to see the day It's a feelin' you can have it It's not mine to take away Lost in the garden of Eden Said we're lost in the garden of Eden And there's no one's gonna believe this But we're lost in the garden of Eden This fire is burnin' and it's out of control It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll Suck on that Looking through this point of view There's no way I'm gonna fit in Don't ya tell me what my eyes see Don't ya tell me who to believe in I ain't superstitious But I know when somethin's wrong I've been draggin' my heels With a bitch called hope Let the undercurrent drag me along Lost in the garden of Eden Said we're lost in the garden of Eden And there's no one's gonna believe this But we're lost in the garden of Eden Most organized religions make A mockery of humanity Our governments are dangerous And out of control The garden of Eden is just another graveyard Said if they had someone to buy it Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul This fire is burnin' and it's out of control It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll Lost in the garden of Eden (An we ain't talkin' about no poison apple or some missin' rib ya hear) Said we're lost in the garden of Eden And there's no one's gonna believe this Said we're lost in the garden of Eden This fire is burnin' and it's out of control It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll @SONG: Don't Damn Me (5:15) Don't damn me When I speak a piece of my mind 'Cause silence isn't golden When I'm holding it inside 'Cause I've been where I have been An I've seen what I have seen I put the pen to the paper 'Cause it's all a part of me Be it a song or casual conversation To hold my tongue speaks Of quiet reservations Your words once heard They can place you in a faction My words may disturb But at least there's a reaction Sometimes I wanna kill Sometimes I wanna die Sometimes I wanna destroy Sometimes I wanna cry Sometimes I could get even Sometimes I could give up Sometimes I could give Sometimes I never give a fuck It's only for a while I hope you understand I never wanted this to happen Didn't want to be a man So I hid inside my world I took what I could find I cried when I was lonely I fell down when I was blind But don't damn me When I speak a piece of my mind 'Cause silence isn't golden When I'm holding it inside 'Cause I've been where I have been An I've seen what I have seen I put the pen to the paper 'Cause it's all a part of me How can I ever satisfy you An how can I ever make you see That deep inside we're all somebody An it don't matter who you wanna be But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend For this man can say it happened 'Cause this child has been condemned So I stepped into your world I kicked you in the mind An I'm the only witness To the nature of my crime But look at what we've done To the innocent and young Whoa listen to who's talking 'Cause we're not the only ones The trash collected by the eyes And dumped into the brain Said it tears into our conscious thoughts You tell me who's to blame I know you don't wanna hear me cryin' An I know you don't wanna hear me deny That your satisfaction lies in your ILLUSIONS But your delusions are yours and not mine We take for granted we know the whole story We judge a book by its cover And read what we want Between selected lines Don't hail me An don't idolize the ink Or I've failed in my intentions Can you find the missing link Your only validation is living your own life Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time So I send this song to the offended I said what I meant and I've never pretended As so many others do intending just to please If I damned your point of view Could you turn the other cheek But don't damn me When I speak a piece of my mind 'Cause silence isn't golden When I'm holding it inside 'Cause I've been where I have been An I've seen what I have seen I put the pen to the paper 'Cause it's all a part of me Don't damn me I said don't damn me I said don't hail me Don't damn me @SONG: Bad Apples (4:25) Diamonds and fast cars Money to burn I got my head in the clouds I got these thoughts to churn Got my feet in the sand I got a house on the hill I got a headache like a mother Twice the price of my thrills An it's a cold day, It's a continental drift I said this traffic is hell Can you give me a lift An I'll try to paint a story Got your pictures to tell Yeah you got to make a living With what you bring yourself to sell I got some genuine Imitation Bad Apples Free sample For your peace o' mind Only $9.95 I got my camera back from customs Got my law fees up to date Hell they musta seen me comin' Ain't this life so fuckin' great When the shit hit the fan It was all I could stand Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer My body's breathing while it can But what I don't understand is that My world ain't gettin' no brighter If I could touch the sky Well I would float on by While everybody's talkin' Hell I'm just another guy If it were up to me I'd say just leave me be Why let one bad apple Spoil the whole damn bunch Gold and caviar Now why'nt you pour my apathy I'd have all my bases covered If I could teach my hands to see But now we're down in the deep end Where they'd love to watch you drown I said your laundry could use washing We'll hang it up all over town I said Hollywood's like a dryer An we're down on Sunset Strip An you'll be suckin' down the Clorox 'Til your life's all nice and crisp When the shit hit the fan It was all I could stand Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer My body's breathing while it can But what I don't understand is that My world ain't gettin' no brighter If I could touch the sky Well I would float on by While everybody's talkin' Hell I'm just another guy If it were up to me I'd say just leave me be Why let one bad apple Spoil the whole damn bunch When the shit hit the fan It was all I could stand Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer My body's breathing while it can But what I don't understand is that My world ain't gettin' no brighter If I could touch the sky Well I would float on by While everybody's talkin' Hell I'm just another guy If it were up to me I'd say just leave me be Why let one bad apple Spoil the whole damn bunch Why let one bad apple Spoil the whole damn bunch BOY!! @SONG: Dead Horse (4:17) Sick of this life Not that you'd care I'm not the only one with whom these feelings I share Nobody understands, quite why we're here We're searchin' for answers That never appear But maybe if I looked real hard I'd I'd see your tryin' too To understand this life, That we're all goin' through (Then when she said she was gonna like wreck my car...I didn't know what to do) Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more It may sound funny but you'd think by now I'd be smilin' I guess some things never change Never change I met an old cowboy I saw the look in his eyes Somethin' tells me he's been here before 'Cause experience makes you wise I was only a small child When the thought first came to me That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son That brought back the devil in me Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more It may sound funny but you'd think by now I'd be smilin' I guess some things never change Never change I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul Still wet behind the ears I been around this track a couple o' times But now the dust is startin' to clear Oh yeah!!! Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more It may sound funny but you'd think by now I'd be smilin' Ooh yeah, I'd be smilin' No way I'd be smilin' Ooh smilin' @SONG: Coma (10:08) Hey you caught me in a coma And I don't think I wanna Ever come back to this...world again Kinda like it in a coma 'Cause no one's ever gonna Oh, make me come back to this... world again Now I feel as if I'm floating away I can't feel all the pressure And I like it this way But my body's callin' My body's callin' Won't ya come back to this... world again Suspended deep in a sea of black I've got the light at the end I've got the bones on the mast Well I've gone sailin', I've gone sailin' I could leave so easily While friends are calling back to me I said they're They're leaving it all up to me When all I needed was clarity And someone to tell me WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON GODDAMN IT! Slippin' farther an farther away It's a miracle how long we can stay In a world our minds created In a world that's full of shit HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME BASTARD Please understand me I'm climbin' through the wreackage Of all my twisted dreams But this cheap investigation just Can't stifle all my screams And I'm waitin' at the crossroads Waiting for you Waiting for you WHERE ARE YOU No one's gonna bother me anymore No one's gonna mess with my head no more I can't understand what all the fightin's for But it's so nice here down off the shore I wish you could see this 'Cause there's nothing to see It's peaceful here and it's fine with me Not like the world where I used to live I NEVER REALLY WANTED TO LIVE ZAP HIM AGAIN ZAP THE SON OF A BITCH AGAIN Ya live your life like it's a coma So won't you tell me why we'd wanna With all the reasons you give it's It's kinda hard to believe But who am I to tell you that I've Seen any reason why you should stay Matbe we'd be better off Without you anyway You got a one way ticket On your last chance ride Gotta one way ticket To your suicide Gotta one way ticket An there's no way out alive An all this crass communication That has left you in the cold Isn't much for consolation When you feel so weak and old But is home is where the heart is Then there's stories to be told No you don't need a doctor No one else can heal your soul Got your mind in submission Got your life on the line But nobody pulled the trigger They just stepped aside They be down by the water While you watch 'em waving goodbye They be callin' in the morning They be hangin' on the phone They be waiting for an answer When you know nobody's home And when the bell's stopped ringing It was nobody's fault but your own There were always ample warnings There were always subtle signs And you would have seen it comin' But we gave you too much time And when you said That no one's listening Why'd your best friend drop a dime Sometimes we get so tired of waiting For a way to spend our time An "It's so easy" to be social "It's so easy" to be cool Yeah it's easy to be hungry When you ain't got shit to lose And I wish that I could help you With what you hope to find But I'm still out here waiting Watching reruns of my life When you reach the point of breaking Know it's gonna take some time To heal the broken memories That another man would need Just to survive
