1. BLESS MY BODY

Bless this body
And touch this face
And bury the loveliness
In a very warm place

The hills are on fire,
The valleys are cold
The weatherman smiles
Like there's something
We don't know

Stranger than fiction
You already know
The prophets predicted
The ground will open,
And then close

You come unprepared
Come, my friend
Reach out to the moon and the stars
And it's Hell, until then

Bless this body!
Touch my face!
And what could it hurt?
It's our last night on Earth

Bless my body.
Touch my face.
Touch my body.
Bless my shame...

Bless this body!
Touch my face!
be my shame
you'll miss me, wouldn't you say?

Mama said:
"Bye, my dear,
little piggy's running inside of the zoo."


2.ALMOST SAID

I'm...wakin' up
I'm...catchin' on
There I was, thinkin',
All this maybe
wasn't so much fun anymore
And I...
Almost sounded it
I almost said...

I almost said what I wanna do!

I'm...wakin' up
I'm...catchin' on
Hang with those eerie lights
And the scary monsters down below
And I...
Almost sounded it
I almost let it...

I almost said what I wanna do!

Almost found my best friend
Almost turned myself in
Sent out from among the stars
If you could find me
A miserable clue
Here I am, thinkin' all this
Ain't so much fun anymore
And I
Almost sounded it through

I almost said what I wanna do.

Almost

You can hear the little trolls,
And they're singing all the time
One day you look too close,
And it falls apart,
Right before your eyes

I almost slid
You almost died
Almost found a way to cry
Almost dead, almost hurt,
Almost crawled out of the dirt
Almost...said what I wanna do

I almost sounded it through

Almost let it...

I almost said it...!

I almost said what I wanna do!

I'm...wakin' up
I'm...catchin' on
There I was, thinkin',
All this, maybe
Wasn't so much fun anymore
So I...almost sounded it


3. SUICIDE EGO

You know, I couldn't have said it better
They put the nail right through my head
And, suddenly, everything is blown out into space
Hope there's room for one more, out there

The faint applause, is deafening
The girl with the hat, too drunk to stand, is on the floor now
Too late to begin negotiations--the deal is done
And there is nowhere to run, hon'

In the madness of the suicide ego
There's a beauty in the terrible somewhere
In the last dumb act of the hero
Where is he now?

I close my eyes, and look for Heaven
Or entertain a postcard from Hell
Don't you worry, `cause these are only times when you find Out what you're made of
If you care

In the madness of the suicide ego
There's a beauty in the terrible somewhere
And here's the curse that makes you hungry
And where is it now?

What's next?

You know, I couldn't have said it better
They put the nail right through my head

Here's the madness of the suicide ego
There's a beauty in the terrible somewhere
Feed me now, I'm getting hungry
Case improves...and gimme time--to make up

Here's the sliver in your helpin' hand
You can have it all if you wanna live forever
Here comes the man with the gun in the tower
And it's about time...


4. ZOMBIE

I remember being at your hand
I remember taking my time
I remember everything like it was yesterday
maybe not

How good are you at this?
How good of you and me
How good can it feel when everything comes down to what Kind of zombie
You can be

All that done
And all that said
After all this time and you just seem to be here
My eyes are passing out before your lips can read me from The book that
Tells me why I love you, and that just leaves me here to wonder...
Why?

I had my talk with God
He said it's all workin' out
He has a bigger plan
And it's still in better hands,
In case you don't know

All that done
And all that said
And all this time and you just seem to be here
My eyes are passing out before your lips can read me from The book that
Tells me why I love you, and that just leaves me here to Wonder how I
Ever got so far away from things that really matter...
Zombie in me

All that done
And all that said
All this time and you just seem to be here


5. LIFE AND DEATH

Not quite paradise, alright,
Make the best of it all
Tuned out the space between my ears
'cause I don't want to hear

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Throw perfection out the window
Listen to the wind

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Life and death, the last great song
I'll sing myself to sleep tonight, thanks

Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

One two three, five six seven,
How many children get to go to heaven?

Uh-huh, uh-huh

With a lost, fat sugar crack
Brooding [?] little monkeys on their backs

Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

How many times do you wanna come back here?
Want a little new trip? [?]
Come and find some way [?]

Who
Says
What's
Up
When
I've
Had enough!

Had my fortune read today,
My future's lookin' good good good

Uh-huh, uh-huh

You're gonna be big,
You're gonna be tall,
Better find somewhere nice to fall

Uh-huh, uh-huh

So how can this really be the end,
Just when everybody wants to be my friend?

Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

Found some time, [?]
Did you gonna be here that? [?]


6. NO GENIUS

Counting by numbers
And working out the shit,
Coulda been a contender--
But that...didn't rhyme...

Lonely girls are my favorite
Pass the gravy
Got a helping hand
This one to the man in the overcoat, I think
He's just fine and dandy
You got a mouth on you
Like a dog from hell
So, spill out the novelty
And fix up a needle
Santa's little helper has found his rainbow
Donchya know-ho?

Come back hidin'
And come back soon
Found my Heaven
Inside a spoon
Crawl me up
Don't be frills
Got myself
A good kind of thrill


7. HUMBLED

Close the door and open this
And this could be the last of it
And, for the moment, I'm alright
And hand me down another hit

Heaven holds a place for you
The crippled, the rich, the young, and the beautiful
And, for the moment, I'm your guest
In case you haven't figured it out yet

I am humbled over you
I am humbled over everything
I must be
I could be
I should be hearing these
I am humbled over you

The taste of liquor on your breath
Fills my head and spills my lips
And, for the moment, I'm all right
Underneath the weight of all of it

I am humbled over you
I am humbled over everything about you
Look past these eternal "no"s
Coulda found something to finally cut me down to size
And it's all in the eyes
I am humbled
I am blind
I am crippled--
But it might be the only way to get out alive!

Heaven holds a place for you
The crippled, the rich, the young, and the beautiful
Close the door, and open this
I don't think we're done here with it, cat [?]

Crippled in the mission
On the children underneath [?]
And you're lookin' for another [?]
That you're never gonna find
In the eyes...
In the eyes...


8. MORE THAN THIS

There must be more to it than this
You cut your losses and guard your wrist
I lost my head along the way
Thought maybe I had...something clever to say

More than this!
More than this...

It tasted good, it tasted sweet
And there was I time when I couldn't even sleep
Next to you
As almost God in angel's wings
But now I'm the man in black
But hey, I'm free--look at me!

There must be more to love than this!
There must be more to love than this...

Maybe dogs were meant for it,
And maybe Heaven couldn't stand the face of it
There must be more to you than me
And what I see

It's all too beautiful for me
To see you here
You're like a bird out over the sea...

And I'm on my knees
To see what fits
I'm on my knees to get the hell out of it
I'm on my knees to find out what it was that I just missed!

There must be more to love than this!
There must be more to love than this...
More than this!

More than this!
More than this...

Come clean
Come down
From whatever you're on
You can come back
Come to think of it,
We might try to get along
Come together
Come please
Don't come too soon
I don't know
It's all just too much!

More than this!
More than this...


9. PHILO's snag

The twisting of God's nerves
And the laughing gas face
And a world relied on
Cannot save me a place

Extinct from the ocean
And sucking, like lambs,
On air too thick...

I'm nervously hanging...
Still magically here
I'm comfortably worried
That we've poisoned the well...

We all share the ground
And the food we eat
And the nails we hang from...
Have been kept clean...

I hate to confess...
But the rats won the race
And in all this confusion...
We, nervously, somehow,
Emptied our plates
And it's a wonder that anything
Turns us on at all...

I'm nervously hanging...
Still magically here
And, stupidly, somehow,
Just singing along...

You've once heard the notion
The whales must be saved
Well, build them a theme park,
And teach them to beg

Down by the black pond
All tired and still
The birds have gathered
They magically circle
Carefully, though,
I'm certain they've noticed...
We've poisoned the well

And I'm patiently hanging...
From a delicate bough
And it's a wonder that anything
Still shocks me at all...


10. SHEEP'S CLOTHING

Beautiful lamb-child
Make the angels dance and laugh
Spare yourself, child,
Make your best mistake your last

Worn out sheep's clothing
Lying bloodied on the floor
But still, the devil in your friend
Cries out for more

Throw up a truth
Swallow a lie
You're no angel,
But neither was I
Bloody my nose
Out of my face
Nothing can take your place

Pull me out
And put a new one back in
We'll get ourselves together
And get out of the shit

Cold steel, lubricate
Take the flesh from my face
Brutal words that cut like sand
And you split a lip...I understand

I think I...
Understand

Worn out sheep's clothing
Lying bloodied on the floor
And still, the devil in your friendcries out for more

Cold steel, lubricate
Take the flesh from my face
Brutal words, at last I send
You split the lip...I understand

I think I understand


11. FACE TO FACE

Face to face
Hour to hour
Face to face with the moment that you know you can't hide

Ear to ear
You cut the throat
Face to face with the people that you know you can't take
And you're in it

Oh...and you're in it

I miss somethings
About...me...

The skeleton crawls
On the madness depends
And the curse that's bangin'
Here in my head

Paint the eyes
The color of red
I'm only laughin' cause it hurts
When I think about what you said

Face to face
Hour to hour
Face to face with the moment that you know you can't hide
And you're in it

The skeleton crawls
On the madness depends
And the curse that's bangin'
Here in my head

Face to face
Hour to hour
Face to face
Only kill my eyes

Goodnight, mom... [?]

Oh...I hate to cry [?]

Face to face...
Hour to hour...
Ear to ear...
But you're in it...


12. TELL THEM I WAS HERE

If it comes down to this
If it comes up at all
Please tell them...
Tell them I was...

Once gone, and dearly departed
This world not terribly sparse
And without...
So tell them I was here

Please tell them...
Tell them I was...

"courage", said the lion,
And patience was a snake
"let's run", says the jackal,
"before it's too late"

I could be dust in God's pocket
Or the hair on a rooster's head
I don't know
But tell them I was...

Oh, please tell them...
Tell them I was here...
Oh, please tell them...
Tell them I was here...

I'm misinformed
I missed the boat
I miss the mother
To hold me close.
Gone to Hell,
Or condescend,
I wanna feel
Like it just doesn't end.
When it's time,
I guess we'll know,
And when it's mine,
That'll be the show.

And tell them I was here

Oh, please tell them
Oh, tell them I was

Somebody tell them
Tell them I was here

Misinformed
Missed the boat
I miss the mother
Hold me close
Gone to help
Condescend
I wanna feel
Like it just...doesn't end

If it comes up at all...
