8/27/2000 alternate lyrics

Rise up great and oh
With a pickle in your bed
What's all them razors, eh?
The salt into the blade
Long no razor dream oh
Won't you give it light
in love mine like I did rain it's on me
dreamed she bred the rain
I dream she blessed the rain

Wow get drink of rhyme
Won't you keep it light
in wonder raging
She cut off feel to me
Run off (daisy?) please you
Bled onto the floor
Now your cut's all dripping washing more
Clean up after you

Bought then tossed away
Read all and now you know I've got to Cage grace all while this rain
No empire lasts that way
Fall away here
Oh no the ring round, round
It's better that I have ringing in me
All the joys that go round and round and round
Oh man leave here
Melody la-va
Did you fall then later
Have to say it's nothing more than what you want to

Walls ball talk till you give
Your best defense and I
Know I don't taste your fault
You're good at this lie
Oh speak truth to me
Now the politician's reel
All eyes on the (grace ended?) oh
The promises aren't real
Two-faced after all.

Now did wake roll down
Won't you keep it light and
Whoa Lord, maybe
I'll never be the same
Oh no all this greed you think
We could learn to share
Not a hope in hell for mankind
If we suck up in despair

Taught then tossed away
Greed the girl needs more forgiveness than betrayal
Oh light on this day
She's got gifts that we can see

Rain on all this
Oh she's got to go down, down
No she cries and begs it well
Let me be my own light
No better have I been no
The whole world is so round and round and round
Maybe later you could teach us all
A little patience would you

Crazy love lie
Won't you give the light and
Oh no, razor
I'm gonna get tired of us

Scream that you want to be
You're sharp without (the crime /decline?)
Fun now but when you were born
Your silver spoon supply

Ball then tossed away
She always sings to God now go away
God won't fill your way
More the war she did great

Oh she's bleeding
Oh no it's in both sides I'm
Down inside her needed to see all
Living of a lie

But I've no light on
so God I need
Got on a rollerboard
Yeah [...]
Oh but
Because she's the one where
If you say she's nothing more than pleasures to do
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
