The Craving

An old man cuts his face But not because the razor's dull It's from his hands shaking From the lack of what he's taking Not like an old man's memories His wrongs are still and forever Hoping mistakes will fade with the sun But no surprise, they never do Hoping mistakes will fade with the sun They never do at Hell's Motel Lord, please spread my wings I want to fly away I don't want to die on the vine Lord, please smile on me I don't want to live forever But I don't want to die on the vine Never talks about the past How he could hold a scalpel Mighty hippocratic oath How he sold himself for naught He lived when they lived And he died when they died, too Accepting the new sacred calf of the pagans As we all die on the vine Accepting the new sacred calf of the pagans That's life in Hell's Motel Oh Lord, please spread my wings I want to fly away But I don't want to die on the vine Oh Lord, won't you smile on me I don't want to live forever I just don't want to die on the vine And tonight he'll close his eyes Hoping the sun will rise again And all will be forgiven And this was all just a dream But the walls to the motel are thin And next door someone's getting beaten Tears for the unknown are seeds that are sown And we're all on the run Tears for the unknown are seeds that are sown This ain't life at Hell's Motel Hell's Motel This ain't life In Hell's Motel

Maybe you might have heard But no one spoke a word The day the planet cried The day the music died Each day another dream Killed by the music scene All access was denied The day the music died We paid for everything But back not a single thing Our talents were all sucked dry The day the music died We saw it on TV In all the magazines We thought the news had lied The day the music died This is make believe This is not for real This won't last forever This won't last at all Eliminate the scene It's illegal now to sing Outlaws ask the reasons why The day the music died Now imprisoned for my craft I smile and have to laugh In my head the music's still alive The day the music died As all our hopes were dashed Seems that all our throats were slashed How could all our songs survive The day the music died Greedy fat bureaucrats Care only for sales and stats Woke up with dollar signs in their eyes The day the music died

Fight, something's different Hate, something's different Fight, something's different Hate, something's gotta change I guess hate is dead or At least that's what I read Can't we all get along, well We do now the newspapers says It's great to be here today Now that hate's gone away We'll all be feeling great Now that we've conquered hate Somebody said, and I quote, "I hear that's what they said," yeah Hate's made obsolete By man's superior intellect Animals don't hate They're too smart, deserve more respect Hate's no longer cool And it's time for a new dawn And we've done our part With this anti-hate song Fine, from now on We're no longer afflicted with hate Hate messed with the best, and died like the rest Hate don't walk, it crawls, hate's got no balls Hatred is dead, it's screamed, kicked, and bled Hate lost the war, hate's days are over Hate burned its flag, hate's bound and gagged Hate race is run, stick a fork in hate's done Hate disappears, ain't heard hate in years Hate's got no place in the US of A

Don't wanna talk about it Don't wanna read about it Don't wanna hear about it Don't wanna see about it Something's funny about a medical physician Me lying on my back is his favorite position Designer behavior with paxil, and valium Even you can stomach prozac and lithium Remember "Ozzie and Harriet"? Remember "The Stepford Wives"? Remember "Father Knows Best"? Remember "I Love Lucy"? A product of design Back to the drawing board Gotta be insane to fit in If not you'll be ignored You take apart my brain But you couldn't make the pieces fit Then give me happy pills There's pieces left you idiot

From the dust of which I came To dust I return again From my mother I am torn With my brothers off the war We escape before the dawn Try to outrun the sun Take my own life in my hands Fearing God but never man Take my ancient hand, Look me in the eye Looking past the lines Soon you'll see as I You are young if you want You could be old if you try I can show you how to live But you can't show me how to die As the sun stalks the sky I am not afraid to die My ear upon the ground For the ironhorse's sound Encircle glowing rocks One by one each chieftain talks Tales of yore and bravest deeds Coveting their warrior creed My hands will bridge the distance Of beginning to the end The time for learning ceases It was all wasted and spent From witch doctor to shaman, Kachina doll to chief The spirit knows what ails you, You beg for its relief All that I know, all that I say, My heart beats and my pulse drums Out tribal rhythms pounding through the sky

Locked in battle hardened Deep despair and doubt A gaggle of grenades with All the pins pulled out A dog bit my hand, I'm crawling on the ground Asking for some help, But noone ever comes Walking in a nightmare, Please turn on the light I hear the strangest sounds, Can anyone hear them? I hear them Hit my head on the wall, Till my keepers come Protect me from myself, Off to the quiet room Weird specters ride the air, I know I can't be wrong I see and hear them too, Can anyone else hear them?

Dig in the trash, There's nothing to eat Sores on my tongue, Sores on my feet Open the fridge, There's only pickles and beer Breakfast of champions, Only things served in here Nothing is something I'll get some today Nothing is something I'm wasting away Nothing is something my life's in decay Nothing is something Going to a party, To look for my friends I know I ain't got none, Hell I can always pretend Everyone will be there, Where the girls go I don't know where it is, And I don't know where to go Things I do, decisions I make My life story's a comic book, That explains the way I look

Freedom, justice, power of reason Peace, opportunity, compassion, equal equality These are the things we need The same stars shine on everyone We're blessed, we agree, we receive We'll live in peace till our hearts bleed Homeland, good friends, people who make amends We spend gainful days, the profit is ours to save

I'm the demon, you can trust me I'm the demon, as you can see I'm the demon, for you are free You'll be safe if you listen to me Just a taste is all you need You'll feel better with help from me Hungry for your brain to ease If you don't take it you go crazy You're a man can do what you want Noone tells you to do or don't The demon is here when you're feeling weak Take some of this, listen when I speak Take this stuff, it'll fix your life You'll love it more than your wife You give up, and you'll be ruled You'll be one of the devil's fools Just try a little, you can help yourself To feel no pain equals all the wealth Take some more cause it's almost time One more shot and your soul is mine See the world through black glasses Watch my life as it passes Through the city to the gates of hall The demons there all will know me well In the pain of my nightmare Just give me more cause I don't care Take me deeper, take me down Demons wait for you underground Walk with demons beneath your feet You have things you must take, And dealers to meet You cant control the spin, Not by the shape that you're in How could you tell You would wake up in hell

All I need's a highway sign To destinate my life Play all night and drive all day, My job, and it's my wife Once you get to going, There ain't no turning round Across the USA and back again To give the people sounds And when the party's over And we done all that we can I find out what time's check out time Get up and get back in the van, I'm Roadman Every night is Friday night, Same show different day Tomorrow we'll be headed down the road, And on our way Off to see more thirsty faces With them join with us to slam Good sportsmanship and bruises Is our basic battle plan
