Backstreet lover on the side of the road I got a bomb

"Is this the fucking stage diving Olympics tonight?"

Oh, someday yet, he'll begin his life again...life again...life

Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't
know to read, ooh yeah

Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him
anything
-
Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winters on
its way
-
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls
of shame, yeah...

ALIVE
-
"I think parts of this next song we came up with when
we were in a coffeehouse.
-
But it was just espresso we were drinking. If we would
have been in Amstredam it might have been a different song."
-
-Intro to "Alive" February 12, 1992 Amstredam
-
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
-
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
-
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
-
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him, but
I'm glad we talked...
-
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
-
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
-
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
-
Hey...oh...
-
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
-
She said I'm ready...for you
-
I can't remember anything to this very day
-
'Cept the look, the look...
-
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...
-
I, I'm still alive
-
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
-
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
-
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah Ooh yeah...yeah yeah
yeah...oh...oh...
-
Is something wrong, she said
-
Well of course there is
-
You're still alive, she said
-
Oh, and do I deserve to be
-
Is that the question
-
And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...
-
I, oh, I'm still alive
-
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
-
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
-
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
-
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

WHY GO
-
"If there are any runaways in the crowd this is their
song."
-
-Intro to "Why Go" August 23, 1991 Seattle, WA
-
She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
-
Maybe someday another child won't feel as alone as she
does
-
It's been two years, and counting, since they put her
in this place
-
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees,
yeah...
-
Whoa...yeah...hey yeah yeah...
-
Why go home... (3x)
-
She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to be
is weak
-
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
-
She could be another clone...ooh...whoa...ah yeah...
-
Ooh... Why go home? (4x)
-
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother...
-
Sting me... Whoa...ooh... Why go home? (4x)
-
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother,
mother, yeah...
-
Why go home? (7x)
-
Whoa...
-
BLACK
-
Hey...oooh...
-
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
-
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
-
All five horizons revolved around her soul
-
As the earth to the sun
-
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
-
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
-
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
-
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
-
Of what was everything?
-
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed
everything...
-
I take a walk outside
-
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
-
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
-
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
-
I'm spinning, oh,
-
I'm spinning
-
How quick the sun can, drop away
-
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
-
Of what was everything?
-
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed
everything...
-
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
-
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah...
-
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
-
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll
be a star In somebody else's sky, but why
-
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine
-
JEREMY
-
At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops with him on
top
-
Lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a 'V'
-
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
-
Daddy didn't give attention
-
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
-
King Jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world...
-
Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x)
-
Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy
-
Seemed a harmless little fuck
-
Ooh, but we unleashed a lion...
-
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast...
-
How can I forget?
-
And he hit me with a surprise left
-
My jaw left hurtin'...ooh, dropped wide open
-
Just like the day...oh, like the day I heard
-
Daddy didn't give affection, no...
-
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
-
King Jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world
-
Jeremy spoke in class today... (3x)
-
Woo... (14x)
-
Try to forget this...try to forget this...
-
Try to erase this...try to erase this...
-
From the blackboard...
-
Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x)
-
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in... (2x)
-
Jeremy spoke in class today...
-
Woo... (29x)
-
Woooooohhh...spoke in, spoke in...
-
Woooooohhh...uh huh, uh huh...
-
OCEANS
-
Hold on to the thread
-
The currents will shift
-
Glide me towards...
-
You know something's left
-
And we're all allowed
-
To dream of the next
-
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...
-
Oooh... (4x)
-
You don't have to stray
-
Tho oceans away
-
Waves roll in my thoughts
-
Hold tight the ring...
-
The sea will rise...
-
Please stand by the shore...
-
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
-
I will be there once more...
-
Oooh... (4x)
-
Uh huh, oh yeah... (2x)
-
PORCH
-
"...But you know you're not really -
-
you're not really grungy unless you got a sty in you
eye this song is called Porch...1,2,3,4..."
-
-Intro to "Porch"
-
December 1, 1993 Las Vegas, NV
-
What the fuck is this world
-
Running to, you didn't
-
Leave a message, at least I
-
Coulda' learned your voice one last time
-
Daily minefield, this could
-
Be my time, 'bout you?
-
Would you hit me? (2x)
-
Oh oh oh...oh whoa whoa...ow...
-
All the bills go by, and
-
Initiatives are taken up
-
By the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle any more
-
And the cross I'm bearing home
-
Ain't indicative of my place
-
Left the porch (2x)
-
Oh oh oh...
-
Hear my name, take a good look
-
This could be the day
-
Hold my hand, walk beside me
-
I just need to say...
-
Hear my name, take a good look
-
This could be the day
-
Hold my hand, lie beside me
-
I just need to say
-
I could not take a-just one day
-
I know when I would not ever touch you
-
Hold you...feel you...in my arms...never again...
-
Yeah... (12x)
-
GARDEN
-
She don't wander in...don't wander in here, she...
-
She don't wander in here...don't wander in here...
-
The direction of the eye, so misleading
-
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick
-
I don't question, our existence
-
I just question, our modern needs
-
She don't wander in...don't wander in here, she...
-
She don't wander in here...
-
I will walk...with my hands bound
-
I will walk...with my face blood
-
I will walk...with my shadow flag
-
Into your garden, garden of stone...yeah...
-
After all is done, and we're still alone
-
I won't be taken, yet I'll go...with my hands bound
-
I will walk...with my face blood
-
I will walk...with my shadow flag
-
Into your garden, garden of stone
-
I don't show...I don't share...
-
I don't need, yeah...
-
What you have to give...
-
Oooh, I will walk...with my hands bound
-
I will walk...with my face blood
-
I will walk...with my shadow flag Into your garden, garden...oh...
-
I will walk with my hands bound
-
I will walk into your garden, garden of stone...
-
I don't know...
-
I don't care...
-
I don't need you for me to live...
-
yeah, yeah, yeah, oh...
-
Uh huh huh... (8x)
-
DEEP
-
On the edge, windowsill
-
Ponders his maker, ponders his will
-
To the street below, he just ain't nothin'
-
But he's got a great view, and he sinks the needle deep,
yeah...
-
Whoa, can't touch the bottom
-
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
-
Oh, on the edge of a know-nothin' town
-
Feelin' quite superior, the aged come
-
To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
-
But he's got a great view, and he sinks a burning knife
deep, yeah...
-
Ooh, can't touch the bottom
-
In too deep, yeah...uh huh, can't touch the bottom
-
In too deep...
-
Ohhh...Ohhh... Ow...
-
On the edge of a Christmas clean love
-
Young virgin from heaven...visiting Hell
-
To the man above her, she just ain't nothin'
-
And she doesn't like the view
-
She doesn't like the view (2x)
-
But he sinks himself deep
-
Oh, can't touch the bottom
-
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
-
Can't touch the bottom
-
Deep, yeah...
-
Oh, yeah, the bottom, yeah... (6x)
-
Ohh...
-
RELEASE
-
Father...ooh...oh...oh...
-
I see the world, feel the chill
-
Which way to go, windowsill
-
I see the world's on a rocking horse of time
-
I see the verse in the rain
-
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
-
Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
-
I am myself, like you somehow
-
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
-
I'll hold the pain...
-
Release me...
-
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
-
Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
-
I am myself, like you somehow
-
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me
-
I'll open up...
-
Release me...
-
Release me (3x)
-
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
