1. Caught In A Dream

Well I'm runnin' through the world with a gun in my back

tryin' to catch a ride in a cadillac
Thought that I was livin' but you can't really tell
been tryin' to get away from that success smell

You know I need a houseboat and I need a plane

I need a butler and a trip to Spain
I need everything the world owes me
I tell that to myself and I agree

I'm caught in a dream so what

you don't know what I'm goin' through
I'm right in between so I'll
I'll just play along with you

Well I'm runnin' through the world with a gun in my back

tryin' to catch a ride in that cadillac
Thought I was livin' but you can't never tell
what I thought was heaven turned out to be hell

Whoa whoa when

you see me with a smile on my face
Whoa whoa
then you'll know I'm a mental case
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

I'm caught in a dream so what

I don't know what I'm going through
 I'm right in between so I'll
I'll just play along with you

Whoa whoa ooh ooh ooh aah aah aah aah oo oo oo oo oo oo

2. I'm Eighteen

Lines form on my face and hands

lines form from the ups and downs
I'm in the middle without any plans
I'm a boy and I'm a man

I'm eighteen and I don't know what I want

eighteen I just don't know what I want
Eighteen I gotta get away
I gotta get out of this place
I'll go runnin' in outer space oh yeah

I got a baby's brain and an old man's heart

took eighteen years to get this far
Don't always know what I'm talkin' about
feels like I'm livin' in the middle of doubt

'cause I'm eighteen I get confused every day

eighteen I just don't know what to say
eighteen I gotta get away

Whoa lines form on my face and my hands

lines form on the left and right
I'm in the middle the middle of life
I'm a boy and I'm a man

I'm eighteen and I like it

yes I like it
oh I like it love it like it love it
Eighteen eighteen eighteen eighteen
and I like it

3. Long Way To Go

We still got a long way to go

we still got a long way to go
 we all got a long way to go

What's keeping us apart isn't selfishness

what's holding us together isn't love
Listen to the man who's been touched all his life
yes he's the one they call the fool

Where is that saviour of the sidewalk life

and the road that takes us to the crusades
I've seen those shadows as they're moving in my sleep
leading the blind poet to his grave

'cause we still got a long way to go

we still got a long way to go
yes we all got a long way to go

Please don't waste your energy on me my friend

'cause we still got a long way to go
We'll meet again some day but right now just go away
'cause I still got a long way to go

The silence is speaking so why am I weeping

I guess I love it I love it to death

Yes we still got a long way to go

yes we still got a long way to go
yes we all got a long way to go

4. Black Juju

Body!!!

Touched by the toil and plunged into his arm

cursed thru the night thru eyes of alarm
A melody black flowed out of my breath
searching for death but bodies need rest
body!!!

Under the soil now waiting for worms

all that I feared is all that I've learned
All that I know is all that I think
dead feelings are cool down lower I sink ah hah
 Bodies need rest
we all need our rest
sleep an easy sleep
rest rest

Bodies need their rest

we all need our rest
sleep an easy sleep
rest rest rest rest

But come back in the morning

Come back hard

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up !

Bodies clutching and biting my soul has caught on fire

my evil is now and I'm caught up in desire
Everything I'm living for is all that I am
liking it and loving it that's all in the plan

Black Juju

5. Is It My Body

What have I got that makes you want to love me

is it my body or someone I might be
or somethin' inside me

You better tell me tell me

it's really up to you
have you got the time to find out
who I really am oh oh ah

What does it take to get inside of your mind

give me a break and take a chance for the very first time
You better tell me tell me
it's really up to you
have you got the time to find aut
who I really am

What have I got that makes you want to love me

now is it my body or someone I might be
 or somethin' inside me

You better tell me tell me

it's really up to you
have you got the time to find aut
who I really am ah ah ooh

6. Hallowed Be My Name

Gather round right now and hear me whisper

the words of the prison the words of laughter
The lords and the ladies were fixing their hairdos
cursing their lovers cursing the bible

Hallowed be my name
yelling at fathers screaming at mothers
hallowed be my name

Come all you sinners come now in your glory

and my ears will listen to your dirty stories
You're fighting to go up 'cause you're on your way down
cursing their lovers cursing the bible

Hallowed be my name
yelling at fathers screaming at mothers
hallowed be my name
ahhahahahaha

Sluts and the hookers have taken your money

the queens are out dancing but now they're not funny
'cause there goes one walkin' away with your sonny
cursing their lovers cursing the bible

Hallowed be my name
yelling at fathers screaming at mothers
hallowed be my name

7. Second Coming

I couldn't tell if the bells were getting louder

the songs they ring I finally recognize
I only know hell is getting hotter
 the devil's getting smarter all the time
And it would be nice to walk upon the water
to talk again to angels on my side

Time is getting closer I read it on a poster

fanatical exposers on corners prophecy

It would be nice to walk upon the water

to talk again to angels at my side
I just come back to show you all my words are golden
so have no gods before me I'm the light

8. Ballad Of Dwight Fry

Mommy where's daddy?

he's been gone for so long
do you think he'll ever come home?

I was gone for fourteen days I coulda been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward lyin' on the floor
I was gone for all those days but I was not all alone
I made friends with a lot of people in the danger zone

See my lonely life unfold

I see it every day
see my only mind explode
since I've gone away

I think I lost some weight there and I

I'm sure I need some rest
Sleepin' don't come very easy in a straight white vest
Should like to see that little children she's only four years old old
I'd give her back all of her playthings even even the ones I stole

See my lonely life unfold

I see it everyday
see my lonely mind explode
when I've gone insane

I wanna get outta here

I wanna get outta here
I I've gotta I've gotta get outta here
I I gotta get out of here
 I gotta get out of here
I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta here
Ya gotta let me out of here let me outta here I gotta get outta here I gotta
get outta here

See my lonely life unfold

I see it everyday
see my only mind explode
blow up in my face

I grabbed my hat and I got my coat

and I I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn't breathe

Said to myself this is very strange

I'm glad it wasn't me
But now I hear those sirens callin'
and so I am not free

I didn't wanna be
I didn't wanna be I didn't wanna be

see my lonely life unfold

I didn't wanna be
Leave me alone
I didn't wanna be
don't touch me

see my lonely mind explode

when I've gone insane

9. Sun Arise

Sun arise come every mornin'

sun arise come every mornin'
Sun arise come every mornin'
bringin' back the warmth to the ground

Sun arise fillin' up the hollow

sun arise fillin' up the hollow
 Sun arise fillin' up the hollow
bringin' back the warmth to the ground

Sun arise she come every mornin'

sun arise each and every day
Sun arise she come every mornin'
sun arise every every every every

She drive away the darkness everyday

she drive away the darkness everyday
She drive away your darkness everyday
bringin' back the warmth to the ground

Sun arise whoa oh oh

sun arise whoa oh oh
sun arise whoa oh oh
every every every every

Sun arise whoa oh oh

sun arise whoa oh oh
sun arise whoa oh oh
every every every every
