Ring A Bell 05:16
it starts with whisper a shimmering light a blink of a flash bulb and bats in the night most people don't notice most people don't care but how could i blame them when i have been there but now its driving me crazy its driving me mad i can't find no rhythm and i'm pissed at the band but i would rather be crazy i would rather be mad than lost in the silence hollow and drab so i will try my best keeping secrets from the world such a strong and witty world its out of my league and if you're not impressed why don't you try it for yourself in front of everybody else as the band begins to play i slept with an angel or maybe a queen i never talked to the devil but he's been talking to me i swallowed an ocean an ocean of wine and the fruit pickers daughters are just grapes on the vine so if you see me at showtime looking like hell i was up after midnight looking like hell so i will try my best keeping secrets from the world such a strong and witty world its out of my league and if you're not impressed why don't you try it for yourself in front of everybody else as the band begins to play

when death and all his angels find you will you call out will you call out when death and all his angels catch you will you cry out will you cry out at the end of the line there's no more time and you go it alone you can never come home at the end of the line from dust and ashes i have called you and dust you shall become in the end from dust and ashes i have called you and dust you shall become in the end oh death oh death where is your sting at the end of the line there's no more time and you go it alone you can never come home at the end of the line

The Ocean 04:09
set your eyes love set your eyes oh west against the morning 'cause i had no warning of this when they come to wake me up set your sights love set your sights oh far across the ocean 'cause if i never touched to ocean i would only come back home to sleep but oh my sight am i alright am i alright cut your ties love cut your ties and say i never knew you but they'll see right through you and you cannot run and hide but keep the faith love keep the faith though i know it's gonna bring you i know it's gonna bring you down but though the devil may not take you you never will escape this love but oh my sight am i alright am i alright but still this burning in my throat is going through all of the motions and i will someday come to my home and maybe one day i will reach the ocean

Jesus, Jesus 03:41
jesus jesus can you tell me what the problem is with the world and all the people in it because i've been hearing stories about the end of the world but i'm in love with a girl and i don't want to leave her and the television screams such hideous things and they're talking about the war on the radio they say the whole things gonna blow and we will all be left alone no we'll be dead and we won't know what hit us jesus jesus if you're up there won't you hear me 'cause i've been wondering if you're listening for quite a while jesus jesus it's such a pretty place we live in and i know we've fucked it up but please be kind don't let us go out like the dinosaurs or blown to bits in a third world war there are a hundred different things i'd like to do i'd like to climb to the top of the eiffel tower look up from the ground at a meteor shower and maybe even raise a family jesus jesus there are those who say they love you but they have treated me so goddamn mean and i know you said forgive them for they know not what they do but sometimes i think they do and i think about you and if all the heathens burn in hell do all their children burn as well what about the muslims and the gays and the unwed mothers and what about me and all my friends are we all sinners if we sin does it even matter in the end if we're unhappy jesus jesus i'm still looking for answers though i know that i won't find them here tonight but jesus jesus could you call me if you have the time maybe we could meet for coffee and work it out maybe then i'd understand what it's all about

time is a cold wind blowing through the leaves of a tired old tree i sit beneath where i think about the world and i don't know how what will happen to us now peace is a ladder up to the clouds that i'm wishing i could climb but i don't know how so would you lend me a hand to the promised land where i'm headed glory bound and it comes and it goes where it's headed no one knows and we come and we go all the saints and the liars sitting by the fire what will happen to us now hatred is a sharp knife held by the blade cutting in your palm till you feel no pain burning in your eyes with a righteous rage till the ashes blow away love is a thing that you can't define though you try with all your might through the riddles and rhymes it'll fly you like a kite it'll throw you to the ground but that's the best thing i have found and it comes and it goes where it's headed no one knows and we come and we go like the winter and the spring losing everything just to gain it back again oh how pretty is the middle of june
