Sail above the mountain And soar on the never ending breeze Drink deeply from the fountain To cure your incurable disease. Yeah, yeah. Born naked in the sunshine, Reaching out and swaying through the trees All those bloodthirsty bloodlines Dying out, giving in or knocked down to their knees My field of vision is vast and great Yeah, yeah I see, I see everything Coming round I see, I see everything Falling down (all around) Navigate the oceans and the stars up in the sky Seek out all the numbers, twisted in the light High above the forests in the valley of the sun The curvature and you can become one. My field of vision is vast and great So high, yeah I see, I see everything Coming round I see, I see everything Falling down (all around)

She´s got something, she´s got something She´s got something and I know it yeah! I know that she´s going under But what ya gonna do?

She´s got something, she´s got something She´s got something and I know it yeah!

I lift my head so high And turn it up to the sky Arms flailing left and right I struggle with all my might I don´t know wrong from right But I dream I can fly And I still don´t know why But I dream I can fly Everyone just soaring by Make it look so easy that I wanna cry So I set my fears aside Buckle in cuz I´m in it for the long ride Don´t know wrong from right But I dream I can fly And I still don´t know why But I dream I can fly

Down on the farm, what´s the harm? Down on the farm there´s no need to raise the alarm (You´ve got to) Raise it high, up to the sky (You´ve got to) Raise it high, no need to be asking why. You gotta hide it, You can´t confide it Keep it quiet ´cause they´re gonna come and find it You´d better mind it, and realign it Or realize that you´re never gonna … Raise it high, Raise it high Give me some time, I´ll make you forget your mind Rain or shine, it´s kind of like making wine (You´ve got to) Raise it high, up to the sky (You´ve got to) Raise it high, No need to be asking why . You gotta hide it, You can´t confide it Keep it quiet ´cause they´re gonna come and find it You´d better mind it, and realign it Or realize that you´re never gonna … Raise it high, Raise it high Raise it high, Raise it high Raise it high

Gravity 05:18
I've been falling hard for you Pulled in by your gravity Did I read your signal all wrong? Am I not ready for re-entry? I´m just floating like a fool Is this is really what i need? If my calculations are even slightly off I'll burn up just like a reed. It’s taking me out I need some release Was I blind all along? Or could I not really see It’s making me doubt In what I believe I´ve been falling for so long There´s no end I can see

Be on my side, I'll be on your side, Baby There is no reason for you to hide It's so hard for me staying here all alone When you could be taking me for a ride (Uh, la la la la la lala la) She could drag me over the rainbow Send me away (Uh, la la la la la lala la) Down by the river, I shot my baby Down by the river, dead, oh, shot her dead, oh You take my hand I'll take your hand Together we may get away This much madness is too much sorrow It's impossible to make it today (Uh, la la la la la lala la) She could drag me over the rainbow Send me away (Uh, la la la la la lala la) Down by the river, I shot my baby Down by the river, dead, oh, shot her dead, oh Be on my side, I'll be on your side, Baby There is no reason for you to hide It's so hard for me staying here all alone When you could be taking me for a ride (Uh, la la la la la lala la) She could drag me over the rainbow Send me away (Uh, la la la la la lala la) Down by the river, I shot my baby Down by the river Down by the river, I shot my baby Down by the river

Little Bones 05:10
It gets so sticky down here Better butter your cue-finger up It's the start of another new year Better call the newspaper up Two-fifty for a hi-ball, and a buck and a half for a beer Happy hour, Happy hour, happy hour is here The long days of Shockley are gone So is football Kennedy style Famous last words taken all wrong Wind up on the very same pile Two-fifty for a decade, and a buck and half for a year Happy hour, Happy hour, happy hour is here [bridge] I can cry, beg and whine to every rebel I find Just to give me a line I could use to describe They'd say, baby, eat this chicken slow It's full of all them little bones Baby, eat this chicken slow It's full of all them little bones So regal and decadent here Coffin-cheaters dance on their graves Music all its delicate fear Is the only thing that don't change Two-fifty for an eyeball, and a buck and a half for an ear Happy hour, Happy hour, happy hour is here Nothing's dead down here Just a little tired they'd say Nothing's dead down here It's just a little tired Nothing's dead down here Just a little tired Nothing's dead down here It's just a little tired Baby, eat this chicken slow It's full of all them little bones Baby, eat this chicken slow It's full of all them little bones, little bones

The Rules 05:18
For so long I´ve been waiting For you to begin celebrating The rules of engagement aren´t explicit but I think I´m starting to get it The rules, the rules I was so wrong in all my thinking I assumed you´d be more resistant and yet you´re sinking Fools of a feather, flock together And somehow endure the weather The rules, the rules

In little place hidden just out of town The medicine man says it´s gonna go down Got the tools in my pocket and the plan down tight I´m just waiting for the cover of a windy night. Black as night - Out of sight - Yeah Break it in, cut it down, and sweep it all away But don´t make no sound, or they´ll make you pay Better keep to the shadows, find a place to hide If caught you´ll be lucky if they leave you alive. Sterilized - no one to hear your cries…..oh I don´t know what came over me – hesitation. Up all night in the warm glow of anticipation. I won´t believe in anything This magic season I won´t be leaving nothing For you… Well it´s take, take, take you got nothing to give And then take a little more to make it easy to live Put the pedal to the metal with your getaway shoes Cause, son now you´ve got something to lose – time to choose – cut the fuse. Yeah Up all night in the warm glow of anticipation. Morning comes with the hard light of revelation I won´t believe in anything This magic season I won´t be leaving nothing For you I won´t be leaving anything This magic season I won´t be leaving nothing For you

Try 04:23
Try to be a little stronger Why divide when what you need to do is conquer It takes a little wit just to win a little conversation So try without hesitation So try to find where you could get some answers Flying high above the tiny the dancers It takes a little bit of sin and minimal of understanding So try until it´s never-ending She breaks the world; she breaks it and tears it down Try to go a little longer Why decide when all the time is yours to squander It takes a little bit of this and a little less complication So try without reservations She breaks the world; she breaks it and tears it down She tears it down She tears it down, down, down She tears it down
