Ward One: Along the Way

Ups Downs Reds Whites Continued over using Everything on lower shelf Is guaranteed for self abusing The lights are out, There's no one home boys. I know it well, The magic's gone. By self design, The egos fallen. Look out I died a thousand years ago. [Repeat Beginning Chant with:] It's happened, will happen, what happened. Might happen, did happen can Zero at the point of it all Just happened, did happen, what happened. Might happen, did happen can Zero at the point of it all Who holds the hand of doom these days? Hangs out with pain, It's poison. Forget the dreams They'll blow away. Romantic nights, With friends like I.V. Look out, What madness, my we lie so well It happened, can happen, what happened, Might happen, it happened, Zero at the point of it all. Just happened, it happened, yeah happened. Did happen, can happen. Zero at the point of it all, It happened, can happen, what happened, Yeah happened, did happen Zero at the point of it all. It just happened, might happen, did happen, Will happen, can happen Zero at the point of it all, What happened, just happened, it happened, Might happen, yeah happened [And Chant with 2nd Chorus Simultaneously:] When you close your eyes at night, Are you Are you Are you Are you Still breathing When? Just happened, yeah happened, can happen Did happen, will happen. Zero at the point of it all, It happened, can happen, yeah happened, Might happen, just happened Zero at the point of it all. It happened, will happen, did happen, Yeah happened, can happen Zero at the point of it all. All my knock down tears have washed me home.

Don't hurt you, Just hold you, And make you happy. The things you do...

Listen my son, One thing I've learned And I know it. Bombers can open bomb bays Love all you can This precious thing Called your own life. Remember, bombers can open bomb bays. Might you meet somebody That has your mother's eyes and smile. Might you meet them, Don't blow them away. Don't hurt them, just hold them, Make someone happy. The things you do, it's up to you, Try being happy. And I say I can believe it, And I do. I do believe there's hope for you. You There's hope for you. You There's hope for you Listen my son, I'm in a war And I know it, Remember, bombers can open bomb bays. Complimentary worship May close your many open doors. Might you be cool, Don't get blown away, Don't hurt you, just hold you And make you happy. The things you do, it's up to you Try being happy. And I say I can believe it, And I do. I do believe there's hope for you. [Repeat Bridge Twice]

Pink clouds, an island. It's a place Where I can hide. Selfishly I cling to Parts of me I'm afraid I might find. Pink clouds, an island, It insulates me From letting you know That I'm quietly dying. I live here When I don't want to grow. I'm alone Out here again. Goodbye, over, And It really doesn't matter, Matter. [Repeat Chorus] And it really doesn't matter Matter. And it really doesn't matter Matter. And it really doesn't matter Matter. And it really doesn't matter Matter.

Light up the candles, Let there be peace tonight Throw out the pain that made you cry. Up to the rafters, Watch the candlelight glow. Follow your heart, see where it goes. Don't forget your prayers Before your bedtime. No more talking, too. No more wars or hurt Before your bedtime. Place your head upon whatever You've been chosen to call bed. And while you're sleeping, Bye, bye, di li li li And while you're sleeping. Light up the candles, Leave the rest of the day, Follow your dreams and float away. [Repeat Chorus] Conscience tells The present story In a room below. I know I ask for much tonight. Too much to ask for peace tonight. I know I ask for much tonight. Too much to as for peace tonight.

I want to stop, but I'm feeling go. When I'm saying, "Yes," I mean, "No, no, no." Mercy, mercy, can this mean I've got a taste of what you'd rather have me be? Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh. Patience, patience wearing thin. Don't guide me through where you ain't been. It takes a whole damn lot to wear me down, down, down And right now friend, I'm about to stand my ground Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh. Sit in your chair, let down your hair, don't be so afraid. Take in the view, it's only you, don't be so afraid. Stay in the sun and leave the gun, don't be so afraid. Get out your way, you'll maybe stay, don't be so afraid. Is this the way it has to be, While I'm still here making out with me. All components stamped with pride, I've got the makings of another suicide. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh. Push or pull, just get me out of here. Consider this a warning and I hope I'm clear. I don't know how I'll make it while I own the ace. I'd like to give it back before I pin it to your face. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh. I want to look, so I turn away, Then I slip and slide when it's time to pray. Quiet faith, don't scream and shout, I haven't died enough to find the guts to let you out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh. [Repeat Chorus]

Stop the night, My thoughts get louder After dark. Ooh, the lies The crazies tell me this much, Ahaa. It's a simple enough task, boys, To find a living miracle, But the living ain't easy, I need a shot of medicine. Start the day, My head denies I'm breathing, It likes to say, "Am I here or leaving me?" There's a want that I ask All the Time. Possession of my right mind. You're not deaf, But I still have to shout. Watch out, there's lots Of thieves about. Along, along the way I stand beside myself And look at all my world. No need to tell me. I see dead men playing. I hear cries from many. I see tears and then some. I hear hope, I'm hoping. I'm caught with all The shutters down. Who's looking through my window? I had to close the saddest eyes. [Repeat 1st and 2nd Bridges] [Ozzy Scat Simultaneously with 3rd Bridge:] You've got to be a winner You've got to be cool You've got to be a winner you've got to be cool I see me inside you. I hear fear and then some. I see children playing, I see hope, I'm hoping. Faraway (way) I hear a memory calling me. I'd like to stay, But my obsession wants to play

There's no excuse any more since the fire, Since the whole house burned down. Blow off the lid when my future demand I make profit from my yesterday, Biding my time just to work on the moves. Why, why, I feel the growing city winds, Bye, bye, bye, bye Oh, the survivor's out again, Bye, bye, bye, bye Life has arrived, I am amazed, Bye, bye, bye, bye Learning how not to rape the day, Bye, bye, bye, bye Goodbye, terror, 'til we meet again. Oh what a fantasy, being alive when I'm dead Dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead Out from the jar called the King of Ballet, "If you want, I'll call you every day." Keeping the trinkets from worlds left behind And the owner didn't see or mind. Knowing the difference sure hurts, but it helps Why, why. I feel the growing city winds. Bye, bye, bye, bye Here's where they and I begin, Bye, bye, bye, bye Perfect conditions on parade, Bye, bye, bye, bye Off with the mask, you're done and paid. Bye, bye, bye, bye Goodbye, terror, 'til we meet again

I am at night an undertaker I do thy dirty work for thee And after doing, ask this question, "What in the hell are you to me?" Push, push, push Silly bugger You're a vagabond Yeah, yeah Get you out of this town You are at best distorted pleasure (pleasure) Between the lipstick and the rouge Too bad my instinct has been sleeping And let your thoughts become my food. [Repeat Chorus] Expect short measure in your payload I'm through with working out with thee I'm on my way to higher places (places) Don't need the hole that you've been saving just for me.

Jump up for the whole town, Willy, Go get a band, Oh man, you look so pretty, Reach out, reach out, Play it while you can, 'Cause soon you'll be a man. Breathe in, and be a man among many, Be all that you can be. Watch out, watch out, There may be empty space, More than you can face. If by chance you lose your head, Don't sell yourself too short, Hold on. Ain't no lie, we can fly. My, my, my, we're alive. Breathe out, and when the hounds get hungry, Come marching with a mad dog's cane. Hang on, hang on, When all you have is gone, It's time to carry on. There is a sense of purpose As we move along. Nothing makes much sense right here, Until the moneymaker's gone. Keep on believing. There is a sense of purpose As we move along, Nothing makes much sense right here, Until the moneymaker's gone. 'Til it's gone, Yeah, 'til it's gone, Who oh who Yeah, 'til it's gone, Yeah, yeah, Oh oh I yes. [Repeat 1st Verse] If by chance, you lose your heart, Be patient. Time can help. Hold on. Ain't no lie, we can fly. My, my, my, we're alive. We're alive, oh alive. Ain't no lie, we can fly, We can fly, yeah, yeah. My, my, my, we're alive. Oh oh oh yeah. Ain't no lie, we can fly. La la la la la My, my, my, we're alive. Tall stories, You got tall stories. Yeah, hey hey my my.

Those being very small Have been heard to say That being small's OK. Those getting rather big May come to find They've left their space behind. Hey, yeah, you Living in the middle Too afraid to come out Hanging on to your pride So uneasy. All fall down, it makes no difference God Almighty holds the balance here Get out, get out, get out of here. We collide, how formal, Is that why we're here? Those going all the way Have been heard to say That being here's OK. [Repeat 3rd Verse] All fall down, it makes no difference. God Almighty, hold the balance here Get out, get out, get out of here. We collide, how formal. And gain control, Then fall of the edge.

Me, I'm just a being here. My heart cries out, But no one's near. I'm just a being here, Down city road. After the darkest day I have been heard to say Nothing feels better than Being so close to you. Fish in the trees And birds swimming in seas Oh God, Cover your frozen eyes, That's when the laughter died out. All along the way
