"Mother Can You Carry Me"

"Mother Can You Carry Me"

When I was younger than tomorrow
When I was wise as yesterday
When I could share my brother's sorrow
Even then you went away

When my heart was yours to play with
Though your was never mine
And when I was there to lay with
Even then you had no time

Mother can you carry me
Clear across the sky
Mother can you carry me
Show me how to fly high

Now I am wise as tomorrow
And I am young as yesterday
No I have nothing buy my sorrow
Yesterday tomorrow and today

Mother can you carry me
Clear across the sky
Mother can you carry me
Show me how to fly high

"Mr. PC"

"Mr. PC"

Selling me the truth but I can see your lips move
Fingers behind your back you think you can't loose
Give us all a sound bite wrap it up and plug it in
Telling me the meaning of what is is so
C'mon c'mon c'mon move on dot org
Take me to a place that I never been before
Gimme me the bad news about the trees
Gimme the good news talk to me

On and on and on and on you go tell me Mister PC
Round and round and round and round you go preach it PC
You gotta brilliant way of saying nothing at all

Privy information holding out the gold key
Gimme the creeps 'The Saudi's' gonna go free
Giving us the sign that everything's okay
Divvy up the port and pocket all the proceeds
C'mon c'mon c'mon we're the poor fools
Building up the house of the ACLU
Gimme a doctor for my disease
Gimme what I need talk to me

On and on and on and on you go tell me Mister PC
Round and round and round and round you go preach it Mister PC
Up and down and all around you go play it PC
You gotta brilliant way of saying nothing at all sell out Mister PC

On and on and on and on you go
Round and round and round and round you go reach out Mister PC
Up and down and all around you go you're the man PC
You got a billion ways of saying nothing at all

"My Depression"

"My Depression"

Born in the Southern land where a man is a man
Don't remember too much, warm mama cold touch
Post war baby boom, 50 kids in one room
All white, future bright but living in a womb
Got a TV receiver, Jerry Mathers as the Beaver,
No blacks/no queers/no sex/Mouseketeers
Daddy kept moving round, I can't settle down
Always the lost new kid in town.

Manlicher lock and loaded,
JFK's head exploded
Dark figure at the fence,
end of my innocence
Hormones hit me, chew up, spit me.
Get stoned, get plastered, always was a moody bastard.
Guitar fool, kicked out of high school
Joined a band/Vietnam/mama-san/killed a man.
Daddy gets real sick, it's too intense,
I can't kick it Buy myself a ticket to the USA.

[Chorus:]
Oh my God, it's my life. What am I doing kicking at the foundations?
That's right, my life. Better start looking at my destination.

Hollywood sex-rat, been there/done that
Jaded, afraid I'd never get a turn at bat.
Last in a long line, finally hit the bigtime
Goldmine, feeding time, money/fame I get mine.
Use it, abuse it, Daddy dies I lose it
Get a wife, get a son, beget another one
My head said "God's dead", motor-cycle-body-shred
Big life crisis rears it's ugly head.

[Chorus:]
Oh my God, it's my life. What am I doing kicking at the foundations?
That's right, my life. Better start looking at my destination.

Well Prozac, Lithium, could never get enough of 'em
Last wills/ shrinks bills/sleeping pills/sex kills
Edge of sanity, my infidelity
Looking in the mirror and thinking how it used to be
Don't like the skin I'm in, caught in a tail spin
Honest-to-God vision, spiritual transmission
Climb aboard the life raft, looking back I have to laugh
Take a breath, don't know if I'm ready for the second half.

[Chorus:]
Oh my God, it's my life. What am I doing kicking at the foundations?
That's right, my life. Better start looking at my destination
My life, my depression, my sin, my confession
My curse, my obsession, my school, my lesson
My depression My depression

"My Father's Chair"

"My Father's Chair"

My Father's Chair still standing there
All alone since the long night
Now it's three years on and I still feel
He'll come home, we'll be alright

So where's this healing time brings
I was told the pain would ease
But it still hurts like the first night

That night my brother, my mother and I
Were looking up at a distant star
And wishing we could reach that far
And back in the house
And alone for the first time
We told each other we cared
We avoided My Father's Chair

I watch my family, we hold on
We are strong and we'll be alright
The clock continues counting down, all the while
And every child will share the long night

But do the spirits meet again
Why am I still so filled with doubt
Is my soul everlasting

And the far distant future
When I knew you'd be gone
Came too fast and stays too long
Why do they leave the weak of spirit
And take the strong

When the world turns sour
And I get sick from the smell
And I can't find no comfort there
I climb into My Father's Chair

"My Last Heartbeat"

"My Last Heartbeat"

Heal my broken soul

There’s a hole in my soul where the love leaks out
A shadow in my heart that's filled with doubt
A devil on my back I can hear him shout
(Let me in, let me in)

I went looking for your city of kingdom come
On the way I hit a roadside bomb
It’s always darkest before the dawn
(Lift me up, lift me up)

Heal my broken soul
Take me!

I'm down to my last heartbeat
Last ounce of wasted pride
You know I’d walk on water
To bridge this great divide
My last heartbeat
Waits for the wrecking crew
The cavalry's not coming
There is no one but you

Heal my broken soul

I watch your eyes light up like lightening strikes
You shield your heart with railroad spikes
Battle scarred from the firefights
(Shelter me, shelter me)

I live lost in the city of eternal lights
On the hundredth floor with a fear of heights
Only with your touch the fire ignites
(Light me up, light me up)

Heal my broken soul
Take me!

I'm down to my last heartbeat
Last ounce of wasted pride
You know I’d walk on water
To bridge this great divide
My last heartbeat
Waits for the wrecking crew
The cavalry's not coming
There is no one but you

Take me!

I'm down to my last heartbeat
All bridges have been burned
I can’t give back what you gave me
Cause love can’t be returned

My last heartbeat
Still thinks that dreams come true
There is no one can save me
There is no one but you

My last heartbeat
Last ounce of wasted pride
You know I’d walk on water
To bridge this great divide

My last heartbeat
Waits for the wrecking crew
The cavalry's not coming
There is no one but you

Heal my broken soul
Heal my broken soul

"New Lover"

"New Lover"

Baby you need sexual healing, you're damn right
Got bedroom lovers up to the ceiling, day and night
It's not that it's wrong but it sure ain't right
All your lovers walk on water for one night
In the morning you run for the border in plain sight,
Is that all you want, one more man, one more night?

Yeah, this is your New Lover,
Same as the old lover
Everybody knows it does nothing for your soul
You're just another passion junkie,
This is your new lover

What you need and what you want are two things
I don't want to be the confidante of your sins
I don't want the stories, you know it stings
Hear you come walking with another handsome man
I'm tired of your show baby, don't you understand

I'll be your new lover
I'll be your new lover
I'll be your new lover
Not like the old lover

I know I can give you something for your soul
Don't have to be a passion junkie
I'll be your new lover

"Nothing Is Ever Lost"

"Nothing Is Ever Lost"

Nothing is ever lost
We just lose sight along the way
As the sun melts the frost
and its light will heal the day

Turning everything to hate
is the way that holds you down
And if you keep your fingers crossed your heart
and hope to die someday
burning down the castle gate
It's too late, you paid a cost

When you find your light then nothing's ever lost

"O Come All Ye Faithful"

"O Come All Ye Faithful"

O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye,
O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold Him
Born the King of angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ, the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens
Of heaven above;
Glory to God,
Glory in the highest;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ, the Lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be
All glory given;
Son of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ, the Lord.

"Oblivious"

"Oblivious"

New face fun smile two feet gone wild
Racing young heart close gate false start
When it came for you I could barely breathe
Punched a hole right through you were gone

Forever forever is a long long time
I never thought it would hurt like this
I'd rather be I'd rather be oblivious

Black rain fall hard caught me off guard
Shooting bright star, shine on where you are
When they sang for you I could barely feel
Numbing down the fact I'm alone

Forever forever is a long long time
I never thought it would hurt like this
I'd rather be I'd rather be oblivious

Angel get wings life starts hope springs

Forever forever is a long long time
Forever we'll be at rest until that day
I'd rather be oblivious

"Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem"

"Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem"

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary,
And, gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the King.
And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him,
Still The dear Christ enters in.

Where children, pure and happy,
Pray to the Blessed Child;
Where misery cries out to thee,
Son of the Mother mild;
Where charity stands watching,
And faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.

O Holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in;
Be born in us today!
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!
