From the album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space in 1997
Little Johnny's sad and fucked First he jumped and then he looked The tracks of time, these tracks of mine Little Johnny's occupied Come on, come together Come on, come together Well little Johnny had an ache That hung around the poor boy's neck Every time that Johnny ate The little fucker fed the ache Come on, come together Come on, come together So little J's a fucked-up boy Dulled the pain that killed the joy So little J's a fucking mess That when he's offered just says yes Little J is sad and fucked First he jumped and then he looked The tracks of time, these tracks of mine Little J is occupied Come on, come together Come on, come together Come together, come together
This is the definition of my life Lying in bed in the sunlight Choking on the vitamin tablet The doctor gave in the hope of saving me In the hope of saving me
Walked in the corner of the room A junk yard fool with eyes of gloom I asked him time again Take me in and dry the rain Take me in and dry the rain Take me in and dry the rain Take me in and dry the rain the rain The rain the rain the rain now
Dusty brown boots in the corner By the ironing board Spray on dust is the greatest thing Sure is the greatest thing Since the last since the last
Walked in the corner of the room A junk yard fool with eyes of gloom I asked him time again Take me in and dry the rain Take me in and dry the rain Take me in and dry the rain Take me in and dry the rain the rain The rain the rain the rain now
I asked him time again Take me in and dry the rain Take me in and dry the rain Take me in and dry the rain Take me in and dry the rain The rain the rain the rain now
If there's something inside that you wanna say Say it out loud it'll be okay I will be your light I will be your light I will be your light I will be your light
If there's something inside that you wanna say Say it out loud it'll be okay I will be your light I will be your light I will be your light I will be your light
I Need Love, yeah I Need Love
If there's something inside that you wanna say Say it out loud it'll be okay I will be your light I will be your light I will be your light I will be your light
If there's something inside that you wanna say Say it out loud it'll be okay I will be your light I will be your light I will be your light I will be your light
Over an ocean away Like salmon Turning back for Nayram To the delta With the rivulets tumbling down Glide over sand Around the rocks Back through the wavering weeds And the turds In the way Riversmell On the route Along away Over gravel The weirs of the tributaries Against the icy waterflow To Maryan
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold But I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
Well, I've never prayed, But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold And I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
(Well have you ever been down?) (I can't change, I can't change...) (Ooooohhhhh...)
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold And I'm a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence) (It justs sex and violence melody and silence) (I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down) (It justs sex and violence melody and silence) (I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down) (Been down) (Ever been down) (Ever been down)(Lalalalalalaaaaaaaa...) (Ever been down) (Ever been down) (Have you ever been down?) (Have you ever been down?) (Have you ever been down?)
And I remember one faded summer And I remember the curtain call Waiting outside, watching the time fly
Way you roll the dice Leaves my eyes There is no way to hide You live inside my mind You play A caryatid easy Leaves my eyes A caryatid easy Way you roll the dice, the dice
Walking in line With this life's shadow The spot line's surprise Are guarding from gallows
Solid stone wall Wouldn't turn back the time at all
There is no compromise Now all the names are called Senses summoned to realize They live inside my mind They play
Consumed by this crowd scene Breaking out this dislocated dream
Educated With poison laughter Seems like high times Every morning after
Waiting outside Watching the time fly
Way you roll the dice Leaves my eyes There is no way to hide You live inside My mind You play
