9/18/2000 alternate lyrics

rose and grateful
buried his own head
like an ostrich able but
blinded by his own
be God draining to me
to fight the fighters for
grow it in and give up what you have
cause you don't feel like more

you don't see it all

caught between this song
rockin lock the place
oh the wave and
he acted not disgraced

so all slowly you creep
the anger grows to pain
till now you can't see a thing
without feeling its haze

bought then tossed away
rage has got the better hand of you again
bought then tossed away
anger's made it feel strange

oh oh lay here
hold me back you come round, around
nothing but the silence says is
he rolled his hand in the ground around around
oh no he sees that
no one can be just right right
it's all the way mystery and a
it's nothing more than nothing more than my point of view

oh hostile little one
you're wormfood like us all
you wanted feed to fill my bowl up
and make me better once
oh no feast is as great
as quiet content meant
he rolled up in a big bucket
but couldn't smell the shit

and the bucket full of shit

stopped your breathing love
came creeping in his head
could not escape from
the anger that is said
lord of all that it does
if he misunderstood
but what more than walking tall could
quiet the angry rose

bought then tossed away
oh feeling grows to grey and summer rain
bought then tossed away
greed has got him tired again

man i'm waking
all she has to go round, around
father falls through pages
to die in his angriest lovely, lovely, love
oh now taken
let it feed the ground, around
nothing will be faster
just take all you have to give
nothing more than my point of view

fall rocks stray
you're walking with the dead
gotta live by brave soul
won't you go light again
so know life is a lie
we tell again and again
sure enough when we're done we go
back in where we begin

fall then tossed away
slow down
there's no reason to hurry friend
still break break your head
read the anger's got you again
oh low lay i hold my head to the sun, sun
they forgive the idol but
but oh you are the one, around, around
open the one that you
alove will lead a good life
heaven with a lady
but i'm crowded in my own skull
and for this my point of view
Raven
main lyrics
"What you got? what you got in your hand?" father said to son
"I got the whole world here, Daddy, 'tween my fingers and my thumb
"will you take care of it, please? it's the only one"
"well, it'd take me a lifetime, old man, to undo what you done"
undo what you done

"Oh, come on, now, boy, think, what would Jesus do?"
"he'd shake his head like a angry mother," spoke the boy
"and say I did what I could do"
"but you take care of it, please, like it's the only one you got
and it'd take ten lifetimes, boy, to undo what I've done"

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched as he was leaving
boy just walked away
the man stood alone thinking

One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds the gun
while everything is open, oh, everything is shut down, down, down
begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
and as I stand here, the ground beneath is nothing more than one point of view

What you got? what you got in your head? your secret's safe with me
well, I found the truth, friend, let me whisper in your ear
take good care of it, please, it's the only one there is
can I twist it, please? can I give it just a little twist?

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched that boy misgiving
boy just walked away
the man stood there twisting

One hand is bleeding, oh, as the other hand holds the gun
everything is open, now, everything is shut down, down, down
no one is holding even if you, even if you're sure
you never know it all, the ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched the boy as leaving
boy just walked away
man stood there twisting

One hand is open and the other hand holds the gun
well, everything is open, oh, is everything coming down, down, down?
no one is holding, oh, even if you're, even if you know
you never know it all, but nothing more than, nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched as he was leaving
the man just stood there twisting
