01. SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
Give me the flammable life
I'm cold as a match ready to strike
So here I go
Here lies a city on fire
Singing along the arsonist choir
Now here I go
It started with a spark
And burned into the dark
Now here I go
There is a river I found
Into the wild under the ground
So here I go
A button on a string
And I heard everything
Now I here I go
Oh sweet ignition be my fuse
You have no choice you have to choose
Bid farewell to yesterday
Say goodbye I'm on my way
But in the end we all
Come from what's come before
So here I go
Oh sweet ignition be my fuse
You have no choice you have to choose
Bid farewell to yesterday
Say goodbye I'm on my way
I threw it all away because
I had to be what never was
Been so hungry I could lie
You took my word, I took your wine
And held you with my bloody hands
These rattled bones and rubber bands
Washed them in the muddy water
Looking for a dime and found a quarter
But you can't make me change my name
Will never make me change my name
Pay no mind now ain't that something
Fuck it all I came from nothing
I'm something from nothing
You are my fuse
I'm something from nothing
You are my fuse
It goes
It goes
No you can't make me change my name
You'll never make me change my name
Pay no mind now ain't that something
Fuck it all I came from nothing
I'm something from nothing
I'm something from nothing
02. THE FEAST AND THE FAMINE
That night they were burning for truth
Down on the corner of 14th and U
They took your soul and they took you for fools
Took all the windows from prisons and schools
Now what's a poor man left to do?
One heart now broken in two
You start untying the hands of the youth
New kids hear the sound of the drumming
Mother Nature your summer is coming
Yesterday and today
Revolution on its way
Amen, it was the feast and the famine
Amen, it was the feast and the famine
It was the feast and the famine
The feast and the famine
Crossroads with nothing to lose
Out of the basement and into the news
Come change now shit getting heavy
Salvation at the ready
You look when I walk by
Still screaming till I die
You can't find peace if you can't find a home
You can't survive as an island alone
Black heart with a gaping wound
Put back together by a troubled groove
Check yourself wreck your brains
Where is that P.M.A?
Amen, it was the feast and the famine
Amen, it was the feast and the famine
It was the feast and the famine
The f east and the famine
Hey where is the monument
To the dreams we forget?
We need a monument
And a change will come
Yeah change will come
Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?)
Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?)
Amen, it was the feast and the famine
Amen, it was the feast and the famine
It was the feast and the famine
Feast and the famine
Amen, where is the monument
To the dreams we forget? (Amen)
We need a monument
And a change will come
And change will come
Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?)
Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?)
03. CONGREGATION
I met the seventh son
He came for everyone
The day he heard the lightning in the field
I heard him clear his throat
A fork within the road
That night the Tallahatchie took the wheel
I've been throwing knives
To see just where they'll land
Now my world is in your hands
Send in the congregation
Open your eyes, step in the light
A jukebox generation
Just as you were
The voice upon the stage
Is a heart inside a cage
And it's singing like a bluebird in the round
There's mystery in this wood
And ghosts within these roots
That are tangled deep beneath this southern ground
I've been going through life
Making foolish plans
Now my world is in your hands
Send in the congregation
Open your eyes, step in the light
A jukebox generation
Just as you were... Right?
Just as you were...
Just as you were... Alright!
And you need blind faith
No false hope
No false hope
Do you have blind faith?
No false hope
No false hope
Where is your blind faith?
No false hope
No false hope
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Step into the light!
Open your eyes, step into the light
The sound becomes congregation
A congregation
A congregation
A congregation
Yeah!
And they're singing like a bluebird in the round...
04. WHAT DID I DO?/GOD AS MY WITNESS
There you go again putting words into my mouth
This one's for you to know and for me to find out
All that troublin' you're on about
How you gonna know 'till you hear it out loud
Stop ask myself what did I do?
What did I do to deserve you
Go on tell me now what did I do?
What did I do to deserve you
I heard every word coming from the thirteenth floor
Your song came along heard the voices tell me to save yourself
Behave yourself
I stop ask myself what can I do?
What can I do to preserve you
Go on tell me now what can I do?
What can I do to conserve you?
Your name Urethane I can see the writing on the wall
Come on flip a coin bet it's gonna tell you to save yourself
Behave yourself
Young man channeling know him by the X on his hand
You raised runaways singing at the gate to save yourself
Behave yourself
So here I go again putting words into your mouth
This one's for me to know and for you to find out
All that troublin' I'm on about
How you gonna know 'till you hear it out loud
All your heroes, where are they now?
I'm lost
Deliver me
I crossed the river finally
God as my witness, yeah it's gonna heal my soul tonight
God as my witness, yeah it's gonna heal my soul tonight
God as my witness, yeah it's gonna heal my soul tonight
God as my witness, yeah it's gonna heal my soul tonight
God as my witness, yeah it's gonna heal my soul tonight
05. OUTSIDE
There you are dancing at your altar
Beautiful earthling, blessed in kashmir
All of your sound echoes through the canyons
Down below they're dreaming
Hear the sirens screaming
Another time, another world
Girls were boys and boys were girls
Finding glitter in the litter
Like a heart has got to move
Everybody needs some room
There's something out there
There's a long straight road, out of the cold
And we can leave it all behind
I wanna get outside, baby let's get outside
I wanna get outside, outside, of me
All I found the space between the spaces
Standing in the nothing and time reclaims you
As the wind will beat you down
And the wind the only sound
There's something out there
There's a long straight road, out of the cold
And we can leave it all behind
I wanna get outside, baby let's get outside
I wanna get outside, outside, of me
There's a long straight road, out of the cold
And we can leave it all behind
I wanna get outside, baby let's get outside
I wanna get outside, outside, of me
06. IN THE CLEAR
There are days I might not make it
There are days I might start breaking
When the rain starts coming down as heavy as the air
You can find me dancing with the spirits in the square
God damn I swear
There are times I fell like giving in
There are times I begin to begin again
Look outside the world keeps spinning
Like a paddle wheel
Rolling for the broken hearted
Waiting on the heal
You know I'm not in the clear
You are not in the clear
Don't you go count me out now dear
You know I'm not in the clear
You are not in the clear
Don't you go count me out now dear
There are places I don't remember
There are faces I don't remember
But how could I forget you painting stars into the sky
Coming like a rebirth marching in a second line
You know I'm not in the clear
You are not in the clear
Don't you go count me out now dear
You know I'm not in the clear
You are not in the clear
Don't you go count me out now dear
In the clear
And if I should drown
May this be the sound
To wash me out
You know I'm not in the clear
You are not in the clear
Don't you go count me out now dear
You know I'm not in the clear
You are not in the clear
Don't you go count me out now dear
In the clear
In the clear
07. SUBTERRANEAN
Nothing left within, I've been mined
Hell and back again, subterranean
I've been digging in down inside
I will start again, subterranean
But the truth is so unkind
What do you know, how low the sky
Yeah the truth is so unkind
What do you know, how low the sky
You might think you know me
I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't
You might think you own me
I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't
Bury my heart, can I go this alone?
Oh no, oh no, you don't
Poison the sound god in the stone
Oh no, oh no, you don't
Nothing left within, I've been mined
Hell and back again, subterranean
I've been digging in down inside
I will start again, subterranean
But the truth is so unkind
What do you know, how low the sky
Yet the truth is so unkind
What do you know, how low the sky
You might think you owe me
I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't
And I might think you love me
But I know damn well you don't
Oh no, oh no, you don't
Bring all your lies leave them deep in the dirt
Oh no, oh no, you don't
Pull down my eyes
Lay me deep in the earth
Oh no, oh no, you don't
Nothing left within, I've been mined
Hell and back again, subterranean
I've been digging in down inside
I will start again, subterranean
08. I AM A RIVER
There is a secret
I found a a secret behind a Soho door
There is a reason
I found a reason beneath the subway floor
I found the water the devils water
And walked along its shore
Is that what you want?
The channel's changing, the heart is racing
From voices on the wire
The soul is yearning, the coal is burning
The ember starts a fire
Can we recover, love for each other
The measure of your life
Is that what you want?
Is that what you really want?
A river
A river
A river running underground
A river
A river
Is that what you want?
Is that what you really want?
I, I, I am a river
I, I, I am your river
I, I, I am a river
I, I, I am your river
Is that what you want?
Is that what you really want?
I, I, I am a river
I, I, I am a river
I, I, I am a river
I, I, I am your river
I am a river
I, I, I am a river
I, I, I am your river
I, I, I am a river
I, I, I am your river
