Look in the mirror What do you see All of life staring back at me Are you pleased With what you've done In your time underneath the sun In this house Where time has died Nowhere to fear, nowhere to cry On your own No one around On the monolith Upside down Try not to lean On what you know The sun will set And the day will go A white room Now time is black Once you go babe you can't go back Take it easy Lose your mind I got bad habits That kill all the time Now we're here In this place I see no sounds and I hear no face All I see Is the pouring rain In the lake of fire In a world of pain
2.
Well I've been riding on the trail I'm one ox away from hell Well I been riding on the trail I've got one thousand pounds of hell Seems like if I keep going I might as well get a thrill Well the passes are tight and The snow is pounding on the wagon Well the passes are tight and The snow is pounding on the wagon If I keep on going You know I'm gonna do me Some shaggin' Well the price is rising And the dollars keep getting short Well the price is rising And the dollars keep getting short Well I know it's been a long, long Back to Blaine County port Well I passed the Donner party And they was having lunch Well I passed the Donner party And they was having lunch Something's wrong with them I believe I have a hunch
3.
There's a captain of a ship Waiting for his men To go protect a distant land Who wanted them for dead Take it back To where you came from You don't know What you're messing with Unholy power Within your hands Do you have the time For one more glance As I send this vessel Into the ice You'll always know Not to think twice Abandon ship It's time to go All the men Have left their post Abandon ship We must leave For the fate Of all humanity You have a bomb in the cellar And a trigger finger One more drink for the night Before you leave her Captain calls for the crew And there's nothing in the world that they can do Except dance to the sounds of impending doom
4.
Turned on CNN The screen was red If I was out in the sand I'd rather be dead W. took the microphone And said it was for our own good I knew what he meant but it just Wasn't understood He flew in on the carrier To tell us the news He said "mission accomplished" But it was all a ruse It was supposed to be over The towel was thrown in Twenty years later and I See no end I'm flying out East On this B-52 But I'd rather be at home Watching the tube I voted for Bush You voted for Gore It doesn't matter 'cause we're Still voting for war
5.
All my love pouring out to you Like the rain it showers Talk to you for hours Walking down the street with you Your hand in mine Can't get you off my mind And I'll look to the moon, from the gardens We'll climb the mountain We'll walk 'til we both get tired And rest by the fountain Picking tulips from the garden Flowers in your hair Holding you so dear Waiting for the sun to come Feeling at peace Don't you leave me please I'll wait for you here In the fields of green We'll ride for miles I'll travel across the universe Just to see you smile
6.
I did a little something that will change my life I got a funny feeling that something ain't right My eyes are fuzzy and my mind is blurred My house is upside down and the world is absurd The man from the T.V.'s on a killing spree And the government they got their eyes on me Trapped in reality Nowhere to go In this hellish fantasy Taking me down slow Lovely Skies of Doom Hello my old friend Where are we going To a place we've never been I have to say, in such a subtle way I can't comprehend I never want our time to end Woke up near here, two hands 'round my back I prayed to God my rope don't run out of slack I shouldn't have stayed here, shouldn't have stuck around Maybe I'll try my luck in another town Going nowhere without any end in sight The clear blue sky shines that burning red light My mind won't work if my spine don't jerk We gotta get out of here, meet me on Mars Better than staying here living behind bars
7.
Got fucked up this morning, now I'm feeling quite strapped for cash I shot all the men just to chase me a piece of ass Didn't know it was loaded, but I sure was Had to catch a train, I had to move past I feel so long gone lonesome and I'm Coming down real fast Well I was driving down the street, it was about half past ten I wanted me some bud, but all I got is a pen Then two pretty girls stopped me on the side of the road They said I know a little spot we can go Last night I raised some hell, but now I'm sitting in jail I said you got that cocaine, you got that little green plant He said you shouldn't have some alone, right as I shook his hand I said come again boy I didn't think I heard him right He pulled out his gun, I guess he was lookin' for a fight He dropped that product, and I grabbed it Back on the run, tryna get a hit Good Lord send the sunshine, Devil he send the rain Good Lord send the sunshine, Devil he send the rain You know I'll be here tomorrow, right on that morning train
