Falling Home

(watching corner and crossings watching all the red lights watching the stress watching beggars and bankers and rushing cars I'm drowning in this mess) Help me Rescue me Save me Set me free It is strange Among all people I feel alone Very strange Despite the sun I'm cold to the bone If this is progress let me out Up on the rooftops I feel alive Lovely detached from the human hive Up on the rooftops I feel so free Far from the city that's suffocating me (watching corner and crossings watching all the red lights watching the stress watching beggars and bankers and rushing cars I'm drowning in this mess) Is this what we want? I believe Beneath the surface we turn to stone Can't you see? We meet our neighbours over the phone I'm awake - watch me I'll escape - watch me If this is progress help me to regress Alone by the ocean I feel alive Lovely detached from the human hive Alone by the ocean I feel so free Far from the city that's suffocating me You live too shallow act too deep Fail to sow but proudly reap Indians show us where we're from Stress indicates what we've all become (watching corner and crossings watching all the red lights watching the stress) In time you'll awake In time you'll escape In time you'll awake You'll see what's at stake Is this what we want? Is this what we need? Is it?

She keeps the world at bay With walls built to stand come-what-may And with that coldness on display They held until today She would hold her own Running all alone Ridding her road of every grain To stay in control Suddenly she is down on all four And the walls will support her no more Cries her eyes out like never before Onto this linoleum The bottled up and stored She's won every war And when she's out that door She will push ahead of you Frowning at the poor She would move so fast not to end up last Aiming for the finish line To smile at those she'd passed Suddenly she is down on all four And the walls will support her no more Cries her eyes out like never before Onto this linoleum The bottled up... and stored And sometimes Oh, just sometimes That's really all it takes: A hand on her shoulder, and then she breaks (Yes then she breaks, she breaks...) Sometimes that's really all it takes A word of kindness and she breaks And then the sum of damage done Spills out on stale linoleum Sometimes that's really all it takes A gentle touch and then she breaks To see the sum of damage done Stain this linoleum Sometimes that's really all it takes A word or touch and then we break And all this world's linoleum Can't hold the sum of damage done She's becoming her last casualty If she breaks then at last she'll be free But she keeps it together once more To run another day and fight another war Itsy bitsy spider climbed the water spout Down came the rain and washed the spider out Now she stays on the ground So she'll never fall See, she would rather drown than lose control She really would

I'm far from sober And she's far from sane As she takes my hand and She pulls me away She leads me down to the shoreline She leads me down to the sea She pulls me into the water And then she whispers to me: “Love you know that I can make you stronger Love you know that I can make you brave But there's one thing that you must remember: That I am too far gone for you to save” Sand through her fingers The night slips away She gave me her body But never her name I followed her to the shoreline I'd follow her to the grave Two sinking ships in the darkness And we are much too close to break away And I know that she will make me stronger And I know that she will make me see And I know that she will make me younger But I don't know what more she'll do to me And she said: “You know that I can make you stronger Love you know that I can make you brave But there's one thing that you must remember: That I am too far gone for you to save”

Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh, what's becoming of me? Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh, don't you see what I mean? Gotta get away Holy Diver! Yeah Shiny diamonds Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue Something is coming for you... Look out! Race for the morning You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light Oh, we will pray it's all right Gotta get away, get away Between the velvet lies There's a truth that's hard as steel, yeah The vision never dies Life's a never ending wheel! Say: Holy Diver You're the star of the masquerade No need to look so afraid Jump, jump... Jump on the tiger You can feel his heart but you know he's mean Some light can never be seen! Yeah Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh, what's becoming of me? No, no! Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh, don't you see what I mean? Gotta get away, get away Gotta get away, get away, yeah Holy Diver...

It was '79 and the world seemed more kind And it was still ok to be modest The sixties were gone but their soul lingered on And the eighties were still just a promise ...and I remember me and you Two children of six still playing with sticks And whatever we found in the forest Our grandpas were strong and our parents still young And the world seemed a little more honest ...and I remember me and you All still fine - 1979 Left behind- 1979 Do you remember? Do you remember? 'Cause I remember Me and you

Please let me be yours please never leave Please stay here close to me All love we shared where is it now? Please let me be better than I was Please don't give up on us The thought of leaving you I do not know how I can feel the pain you have inside I see it in your eyes Those eyes that used to shine for me I can feel the wildness in your heart That's tearing us apart My love, how can I help if you don't want me? There is nothing you can do to help me now I am lost within myself as so many times before There's nothing you can do to ease my pain I am so, so sorry but if you love me You must let go Two young souls in the dance of a chain sling Love once born from the ink of solitude Bidding to dance in the swing of a rope end Walking their Remedy Lane Through this interlude of pain Who will be there now When I lose my one true love? I am falling now Darkness below and above There is nothing you can do to help me now I am lost within myself as so many times before There's nothing you can do to ease my pain I am so, so sorry but if you love me You must let go Two young souls in the dance of a chain sling Love once born from the ink of Solitude Bidding to dance in the swing of a rope end Walking their Remedy Lane Through this interlude of pain Who will be there now When I lose my one true love? Have I lost myself? To love someone else... ...I do not know how Please let me be yours Please never leave Please stay here close to me All love we shared where is it now? Please let me be better than I was Please don't give up on us The thought of leaving you... ...I do not know how

We’ll cut you down to size There is a woman burning at the center square Raven black eyes and long let out hair Screaming, while cloaked vultures Holier-than-thou circle and glare At sweat drops on pale skin like satin And as the raging flames work her into cinder Said in their defence: Stupidity and ignorance, prejudice and intolerance All sound so much wiser when dressed up In Latin Life will never be the same I have a bigger world since I found God Truth will never be the same I’m in a righter mind since I found God Mrs. Modern Mother Mary, all pale and weary From raising her overweight kids in the outskirts of Suburbia On a nice Christian gender based salary And a church she can merely attend And there on the flip-side of Caucasia we see Miss Modern Mary Magdalene Gone Deep Throat On international cable TV So you keep talking about progress and equality But to me, the crusade is still on my friend Silly me who always thought Life was for the living And giving in to lust Was all to give and to be given Life will never be the same I have a better view now There's always someone else to blame I’m on the winning team now Death will never be the same I’m in the faster lane now No more am I the one to blame I have a juster cause now Love will never be the same Lust will never be the same Shame will never be the same I will never be the same And... YOU will never be the same!

I long for the summer I long for the sun gently touching my face I’ll open my eyes, let it burn every splinter Unleash desert storms on its way to my heart And I had this coming every day of my life This is where I stop fighting Eyes open wide I once had blue eyes, hungry and wise Now they are black from this dark age of lies We’re all privatized, industrialized We capitalize on the beams in our eyes It’s all in the eyes Eyes - tearing with sorrow Burning with anger and passion and lust The swift wind of thought Of wildness and laughter The soil of defiance The firm ground of trust (We had this coming - every day of our lives) (We should start fighting for eyes open wide) But I am put here, in this world gone insane Where everything’s for sale From nature, over stars down to DNA Then I can gladly say That I’d be the first to break that norm Any day, any way And the last to join the ranks To hunt down the Daily Threat Or any other brand of prey We once had blue eyes probing the skies Now they are blackened from this modern life All privatized, industrialized A failure - offensive and sore to the eye This dark age of treason We all know how to cry Then we learn how to smile How to smile We’re all telling the truth Then we learn how to lie And oh, how we lie How we lie When you bow your heads tomorrow At the world we build today I want you to remember That I stood my ground And said no (say no!) I said no (say no!) I said no! Say no! Say no! Say no!

We saw you every day With your hands on your crotch and so much to say You went from bouncing toy cars with golden motors To neon striped BMWs and a court of drugged up nodders and quoters Namefucking fame on all photos All cheered on and applauded by even richer promoters Now when you’re a star When you’ve reached this far And the world really knows who you are You show off your six black Mercedeses and drink Cristal like they all do And the poor outside your gates appall you And the only hood you see is the one on your car Do you even have a clue as to who you are? Bro, I don’t think so I mean Mercedes... Well... you know...? But then the talk shows can still get you hard Doin’ rhymes on your prime time fistfights and spittin’ grime In the limelight like a star gets a chip off your shoulder A boulder that rolls and rolls over and over and over There’s nothing like a broken childhood There’s nothing like a broken home There’s nothing like a tale from your hood There’s nothing like a record of restriction orders Outspoken borderline disorders A violent long way to the top The longer that you fought yourself up The longer the spitfall You’re so fucking lost that with all of the costs You still don’t see that in reality The one thing you fail to buy yourself is a personality You’re trapped in a mould of the rap You sell but you’re sold I mean Can’t believe that you’re paying all that gold To some home decorator that hands you buckets of conformity Seems you’re losing your way together with your policy man Ending up with a new definition of poverty It’s a joke Like those you make in every video To reach the kids with the dough With every copied “aha yo” and worn out “bro” Guess what we need is yet another clown Who can feed our breed With another look and hooker hook Now when “bitch” is mundane you take the lead with “wassup ho” And let TV blur your mouth once more Just what we need in every store Thus quote the craving: “forever more!” You’re so right - a shiny knight on a white steed, truly a hero! Yeah, right... Fuck you! Fuck you right down to the core! You know what? You’re just another Parental Advisory bore! There’s nothing like a broken childhood There’s nothing like a broken home There’s nothing like a tale from your hood There’s nothing like a record of restriction orders Outspoken borderline disorders A violent long way to the top The longer that you fought yourself up The longer the spitfall... The longer the spitfall... You’re a man of the masses Took all of the classes Their asses are yours All those bores who are paying the bills For your palace uphills And your pills that will help you proceed In your greed You are free of the chains that you need on your fans To adore you To kneel down before you More precious to you than your brains and your hands They live for you! If you could just see this old tree This patriarchic hierarchy Up where you want to be You need miles of roots to lick your boots Don’t you see? You’re a man of the masses You need all those asses Their fate to relate to the one that you were Do you know who you were? Who you are? Not the one in your words that they buy They concur you conquer Though a natural flunker And you need them to stay not to fly To obey like the dogs that they are The cogs under the hood of your Mercedes car They will pay for your trip to the stiff upper lip You’re a man of the masses Your trip is a journey through classes You are high They are low And you need it to be so See, without them you’d be nothing more than before And you know that’s not much It is just or unjust such: Just a sad little man with his hand on his crotch There’s nothing like a broken childhood There’s nothing like a broken home There’s nothing like a tale from your hood There’s nothing like a record of restriction orders Outspoken borderline disorders A violent long way to the top The longer that you fought yourself up The longer the spitfall... The longer the spitfall... ...when you’re rappin’ your shit y’all!

I am an old bird Careworn from flying I'm caught in a downwind Far from home I used to fly I was fire Mine was the sky and the sun Now I am lost and I'm tired But maybe I'm too far gone And my wings too beaten and torn 'Cause I spin and I stall But I hope if I fall I am falling home To you I should be home now Done with this wild sky My only hope now Is falling home Falling home I'm falling home I'm falling home I used to fly I was fire Mine was the sky and the sun Now I am lost and I'm tired But I'm too far gone And my wings too beaten and torn And I spin and I stall But I hope if I fall I am falling home Falling home... ...to you
