1. _ Going South
I'm going south
To cast these demons out
To convalesce my burns
Convalesce my burns
And when i finally heal
I'm going to scatter ashes
Of memories in the dust
Memories in the dust
But i'll forget you
I'll forget you
One day i won't recall your name
I won't forgive you
I'm gonna take it to my grave
In the blessed heat
A memory starts to fail
I can put some time between you and me
Watch the whitewash on the wall
Bead with sweat and start to fall
And crumble to the earth
Crumble to the earth
And you'll forget me
You'll forget me
One day you won't recall my name
I won't forgive you
I'm gonna take it to my grave
Milagro pava quitarte la corazon la corazon
Calaveras podemos comev
Un milagro pava quitarte la corazon la corazon
Calaveras podemos comev
I'm going south
To cast this demon out
And isolate my pain
Isolate my pain
And when i finally do
I'm going to cut that part from me
And throw it to the dogs
Throw it to the dogs
Open all the doors
And shake out all the carpets
And go from room to room with burning sage
With blinders for my eyes
And a steel plate across my heart
To protect me from your brilliant disguises
I'll forget you
I'll forget you
One day i won't recall your name
I won't forgive you
I'm gonna take it to my grave
Milagro pava quitarte la corazon la corazon
Calaveras podemos comev
Un milagro pava quitarte la corazon la corazon
Calaveras podemos comev
Un milagro pava quitarte la corazon la corazon
Calaveras podemos comev

2. _ Circassian Beauty
Circassian beauty
When i touch you
I'm coming right down to get you
Outside the freak show
[so we might make it]
I'm coming again to get you
(coming 'round to get you, yeah)
And i love (you baby, yeah) you
[... aqua]
At the game of funhouse
You have 3 million points
And one extra game
Circassian beauty
At a game of funhouse
You know i love you
Headshake
Torture chamber
The midget head calls you in
The man with the xylocaine lung points to a door
Inside that chamber she reveals her blue-green flesh
Her lurid nylon wig, burning in the corner
Ah, you're just a spurting bottle raincoat on a boxcar going nowhere
You know she loves you
You know she loves you
You know she loves you
You know she loves you
You know she loves you
You know she loves you
You know she loves you
Suzy
By the big top
She loves you so much
Behind the wig shop
It's been so long
Been so long
It's been so long
Been so long
Help me get back
If you could just help me get back
Help me get back to the beginning
Just get back

4. _ Turn It On Himself
(whispering ??)
This is no town
For the friendly
Everyone here
Has a story
And in this maze of people i lose my sense of definition
A page ripped from a book, i'm just a page ripped from a book
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself (he's gonna)
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself (he's gonna)
Turn it on himself
I used to never ever worry
I used to trust my sense of impulse
I used to know between extreme and moderation
A sense of balance to hold me up
A sense of balance to hold me up
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself (he's gonna)
Turn it on himself (he's gonna)
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself
And i've waged war with myself
Where no victory was ever declared
And both could end equally grim
And none of the sides were spared
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself (he's gonna)
Turn it on himself (he's gonna)
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself
Turn it on himself (he's gonna)
Turn it on himself
Ahahaha

5. _ Hieroglyphic
Ancient egyptian teleportation ritual
She bit his icy neck
Drains the life out of him
Replenishing her own cherished youth
The nile flows
The nile flows
The nile flows
The nile flows
The nile flows
Yes and on three separate astral planes
She's separated, subdivided herself
Comingling with those of the leopard with the reptile heads
(the redeemer)
She tested his wrath
(he's been offended)
How the nile flows
How the nile flows
How the nile flows
How the nile flows
Four silver shining ships
Flying in formation over the canyon
Piercing the atmosphere
Secret cargo with a destination unknown
Last hope for a desparate world!
He runs down the valley pointing up and shouting:
"the sky is pregnant!
The sky is pregnant!
The sky is pregnant!
The sky is pregnant!
The sky is pregnant!
The sky is pregnant!
The sky is pregnant!
The sky is pregnant!
The sky is pregnant!"

6. _ Riverbed
Underneath the riverbed
Bury my bones in a bucket of lead
Underneath the riverbed
Bury my bones in a bucket of lead
Took my love to the riverside
Took a dip in the river now the river's alive
It's alive!
The creature walks between us
You better run, i think he's seen us
When i dropped my glasses at the bottom of the sea
Well i turned around and saw the creature was me.
Underneath the riverbed
Bury my bones in a bucket of lead
Underneath the riverbed
Shatter my nerves and cut off my head
It's like this:
(instrumental portion)
There's a bug beneath the ice
Behind the labs where genes get spliced
And when the sun comes up to melt the frozen sea
They're going to turn around and see the creature was me!
Underneath the riverbed
Bury my bones in a bucket of lead
Underneath the riverbed
Shatter my nerves and cut off my head
Look out!

9. _ Cherry Blossom Baptism
I was swimming in the cool waters of an oasis
I was swimming in a mirage
I was wondering just where this road would take us
It's the same one that we have been on
From the city of bosra to jerusalem
From the west into the east
Only one more sacrifice
Then we'll finally get us all some peace
The man behind the man behind the curtain is working
Pulling levers by his crystal ball
He's plowing the fields for crysanthemums
Waiting for the sun to fall
He threw a bone to the starving faithful
They got down on their knees
The man behind the man behind the curtain is talking
But he never betrays what he thinks
Silver reflection
Cherry blossom baptism
Silver reflection
Cherry blossom baptism
Now that the rose
Is gone from the garden
What will we do
With the thorn?
Silver reflection
Cherry blossom baptism
If i went down
To the river of jordan
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
If i could just touch the hem of his garment
Well then i know he'd take me home
To see the water in the river boil
To see the city consumed by fire
To see the man's cast shadow scorched into the earth
And flies buzzing in the air like a funeral choir
Silver reflection
Cherry blossom baptism
Silver reflection
Cherry blossom baptism
Now that the rose
Is gone from the garden
What will we do
With the thorn grown on the grove?
Silver reflection
Cherry blossom baptism

10. _ Miracle Mile
When your radar tower's on the ground
And the dots on the screen have no meaning at all
Try to guide myself by sight and sound
But my location seems worng
So show me a place where something's right
Black smoke beating from miles of steel
Like cast iron ornaments upon the hillside
Like casks of solid oak
The whiskey starts to age, so take another drink my friend
([like a satellite])
Waiting for the judgement day
Take another drink [...] ([like a satellite])
And hold it in
Waiting for the judgement day
When you walk along a desert shore
'til the soles of your feet are not there anymore
Would you drop yourself down a ways
For the savior to come
And steal your minds away
Black smoke was beating from miles of steel
Dotting the hillsides of the miracle mile
Looking up into the sky
Points of light that go rushing by
We're just sitting on our hands ([like a satellite])
Waiting for the judgement day
Waiting for the judgement day
Flat on our backs, holding it in
We're just waiting for you, and
Waiting for the judgement day
Hey, the jokes on us
Rogue dreams reduced to snuff..
(lots of talking on the left speaker than the right ...

12. _ The Harbor Incident
Into the vigil from hiding
His exile was now almost up
Pockets were teeming with spare change
And his mind was eating it up
He'd savored the peace that he'd had, but
Now he scans the horizon
Waiting for this storm to pass
Always waiting in silence
Just biding his time
And happened on a young lady
Up from the depths of despair
She spoke with a twist on her tongue
And a marvelous look in her eye
She's said "think before the next time
You take yourself out onto the sea
And go dancing with that grand old man
Sometimes he plays very gently
But he's just biding his time"
Into the harbor
Came once a clipper ship
Sails torn and listing severe
When [tide it had slipped]
The rats jumped ship
As if they had something to fear
The captain it seems, was buried at sea
His madess had taken its toll
The crew headed into the bars of the town
To drink away all of their cares
They had waited for this day for years
One tiny bottle that floats on the sea
Serves as a warning for those who might dream
For those who pursue their obsessions
The wind carries in it the screams
Of the journeyman lost on the ocean
Teased by a beauty who rose from the waves
A rebirth, a watery grave
Down in the depths she savors her prize
She's just biding her time

13. _ The Traveler
Desperation
Takes to the streets
From out of the back of the house
And into the streets
And you never know who you might meet
If he only plants one little seed
And he's got
Just what you need
I had a dream
I knew how to fly
Out of the prison
Straight out of time
Now i stay awake night after night
I stay awake night after night
Black box
Hey you traveller go
Can't stop
Careful into that dark night
Black box
Hey you traveller go
Invitation
Takes to the streets
Opportunity knocks
And it's him that we seek
So fleeting you know he will run
He's so fleeting you know he will run
I stared right at the flame until i went blind
No expense too small to better my life
Paid for in cash
Delivered by hand
Paid for in cash
Delivered by hand
Black box
Hey you traveller go
Can't stop
Careful into that dark night
Black box
Hey you traveller go
He's got all of the tricks of the trade
He's got all of the tricks of the trade
Thought i heard gunshots from out of the blue
I wasn't sure, so i turned to you
And you'd packed up and left me that day
[...] a note, you'd just run away
I dragged myself up to the hill
I thought you were dead,
So i burned a candle and
Prayed that it couldn't be true
I prayed that it couldn't be true
Black box
Hey you traveller go
Can't stop
Careful into that dark night
Black box
Hey you traveller go

14. _ Door To Success
What door are you unlocking today?
The door to success is always open
What door are you unlocking today?
The door to success is always open
First door
Second door - just not enough
Third door - i see you're just not listening to the voice of reason
You're just not listening to the voice of reason!
Left, right!
Going up
What door are you unlocking today?
The door to success is always open
What door are you unlocking today?
The door to success is always open
[let me take you]
[with the eye] on the carrot
The door to success is always open
Keep your eye on the diamonds eveyone!
The door to success is always open!
Curiosity will use the skeleton key.
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la
The thrill of the chase is on
You've got you're place in the master plan
The thrill of the chase is on
You've got you're place in the master plan
Cheat cheat cheat cheat
Curiosity, curiosity
Left, right!
Left, right!

15. _ The Better Angels Of Our Nature
The surgeon was at the table
With his hands on a rusty saw
The better angels of our nature were standing there in awe
The sculptor danced with his statue
And caressing the flaws in the bronze
The patient reached out her hand and said
"this incision seems rather long"
Well then the mood of the moment grew heavy
As the pendulum pushed against gears
Serenity can track you down in a second
And cheat you out of your best years
I don't know why you wanted
To check out oh so swiftly
When the road just comes so quickly
To the end
Your friends were holding a vigil
That you'd come back to them in one piece
But the better angels of our nature could do nothing to lessen their grief
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Quiet birds in circled flight
I am the dark star that shines at night
I am the fly that climbs on walls
I am the rattle in the halls
I know you had no intention
Of leaving me so swiftly
But the road just came so quickly
To the end
