1. Falling To Pieces
ack and forth, I sway with the wind
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where itīs out of reach and itīs in the dark
Sometimes I think Iīm blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
Because the plot thickens every day
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblinī away
But I know, thereīs a picture beneath
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens...
Because Iīm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see, Iīm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
Layinī face down on the ground
My fingers in my ears to block the sound
My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight
Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight
Droplets of "yes" and "no"
In an ocean of "maybe"
From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline
From the top, another downhill slope of mine
But I know, the equilibriumīs there
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because Iīm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see, Iīm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me togethe
2. The Real Thing
I know the feeling
It is the real thing
The essence of the truth
The perfect moment
That golden moment
I know you feel it too
I know the feeling
It is the real thing
You canīt refuse the embrace...
Itīs like the pattern below the skin
You gotta reach out and pull it all in
And you feel like youīre too close
So you swallow another dose
The pinnacle of happiness
Filling up your soul
You donīt think you can take any more
You never wanna let go
To touch the roots of experience
The most basic ingredients
To see the unseen glitter of life
And feel the dirt, grief, anger and strife
Cherish the certainly of now
It kills you a bit at a time
Cradle the inspiration
It will leave you writhing on the floor...
This is so unreal, what I feel
This nourishment, life is bent
Into a shape I can hold
A twist of fate, all my own
Just grit your teeth, make no sound
Take a step away and look around
Just clench your fist and close your eyes
Look deep inside, hypnotize
The whisper is but a shout
Thatīs what it is all about
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
You will never let it slip away
Like the sacred song that someone sings through you
Like the flesh so warm that the thorn sticks into
Like the dream you know one day will come to life
Try to hold on just a little longer, stronger
Itīs the jewel of victory
The chasm of misery
And once you have bitten the core
You will always know the flavor
The split second of divinity
You drink up the sky
All of heaven is in your arms
You know the reason why
Itīs right there, all by itself
And what you are, there is nothing else
Youīre growing a life within a life
The lips of wonder kiss you inside
And when itīs over the feeling remains
It all comes down to this
The smoke clears, I see what it is
That made me feel this way...
This is so unreal, what I feel
Flood, sell your soul, feel the blood
Pump through your veins, canīt explain
The element thatīs everything
Just clench your fist and close your eyes
Look deep inside, hypnotize
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
You will never let it slip away
Like the echoes of your childhood laughter, ever after
Like the first time love urged you to take itīs guidance, in
silence
Like your heartbeat when you realize youīre dying, but youīre
trying
Like the way you cry for a happy ending, ending...
I know
3. Epic
Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you canīt, then it doesnīt matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, itīs like walking on glass
Itīs so cool, itīs so hip, itīs alright
Itīs so groovy, itīs outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet
You want it all but you canīt have it
Itīs cryinī, bleedinī, lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
Youīve got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you canīt have it
Itīs in your face but you canīt grab it
Itīs alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
Itīs magic, itīs tragic, itīs a loss, itīs a win
Itīs dark, itīs moist, itīs a bitter pain
Itīs sad it happened and itīs a shame
You want it all but you canīt have it
Itīs in your face but you canīt grab it
What is it?
Itīs it
What is it?...

5. From Out Of Nowhere
Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me-Iīm yours from the start
I know you see me-Our eyes interlock
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Donīt know if Iīll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...
Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
All energy funnels, all becomes you
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Donīt know if Iīll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And it hurts inside
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...
6. We Care A Lot
We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
We care a lot about the NASA shuttle falling in the sea
We care a lot about starvation and the food that Live Aid
bought
We care a lot about disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah!
We care a lot about the gamblers and the pushers and the geeks
We care a lot about the crack and smack and whack that hits
the street
We care a lot about the welfare of all the boys and girls
We care a lot about you people cause weīre out to save the
world
Yeah!
And itīs a dirty job but someoneīs gotta do it
We care a lot about the army navy air force and marines
We care a lot about the SF, NY and LAPD
We care a lot about you people, about your guns
about the wars youīre fighting gee that looks like fun
We care a lot about the Garbage Pail Kids, they never lie
We care a lot about Transformers cause thereīs more than meets
the eye
We care a lot about the little things, the bigger things we
top
We care a lot about you people yeah you bet we care a lot,
Yeah!
Well, its a dirty job but someoneīs gotta do it
And itīs a dirty song but someoneīs gotta sing it
7. Zombie Eaters
Youīre everything
Thatīs why I cling to you
When I emerge
My thoughts converge to you
To you
The world is so small
Compared to you
And everybodyīs wrong
Compared to you
To you
I begin to see through your eyes
All the former mysteries are no surprise
So now, you listen
Cuz Iīm omniscient
Hey look at me lady
Iīm just a little baby
Youīre lucky to have me
Iīm cute and sweet as candy
As charming as a fable
Iīm innocent and disabled
So hug me and kiss me
Then wipe my butt and piss me
I hope you never leave
Cuz who would hear me scream?
Nobody understands
Except the toys in my hands
So now you listen
Cuz Iīm omniscient
Hey look at me lady
Iīm just a little baby
If I smile, then you smile
Then Iīll get mad for awhile
I melt in your mouth
And in your hands whenever I can
But I really do nothing
Except kickinī and fussinī
I like to make a mess
I laugh at your distress
I sit all day in my crib
Absorbing all you give
Iīm helpless
Iīm flawless
Iīm a machine
Give me, I need my toys...
Keep me hot
Keep me strong
Keep me everlong
So now you listen
Cuz Iīm omniscient
8. Edge Of The World
Come here, my love
Iīll tell you a secret
Come closer, now
I want you to believe it
Iīll tell you all the things
You want to hear
Donīt worry, baby
Thereīs nothing to fear
Hey, little girl
Would you like some candy?
Look into my eyes
Iīve seen it all
Hand in hand
Together we fall
Weīll sing and dance
And weīll find romance
And weīll stroll to the edge of the world
Come sit right down
Lay your head on my shoulder
Itīs not the point
That Iīm forty years older
You can trust me
Iīm no criminal
But Iīd kill my mother
To be with you
Weīll sing and dance
And weīll find romance
And weīll stroll to the edge of the world
Give me a smile
Let me see those pearlies
Iīll do anything
For the little girlies...

10. The Cowboy Song
Tears fall....They scarred your innocent teens.
Loveīs fool....The company you envy.
Leaves fall....The seasons pass you by.
And you think, that maybe you can fly.
Serious fool....Relate your mind to a girl.
Crowds form....But think, smiling, of his peril.
Beautiful....The pavement isnīt there.
But whats the last thing that goes through your head?
You take the elevator to the top.
The next thing you know,
There you are standing on the edge.
And all the flashing lights and futile cries,
Their left with you now.
Just close your eyes and take that final step.
Wasteful....They dampen your will to live.
Dice fall....Release pleasure that you give.
You fall....And take the whole world with you.
And will you even bother to look down?
You take the elevator to the top.
The next thing you know,
There you are standing on the edge.
The victors there to turn you inside out.
So he can hide me,
Before you find out whatīs inside your head!
You take the elevator to the top.
The next thing you know,
There you are standing on the edge.
Whats left is left and turns you inside out.
So it can hide me,
Before you find out whatīs inside your head.
And all the flashing lights and futile cries
Their left with you now.
Just close your eyes and take that final step.
Just close your eyes and take that final step...
