Here ya go NAD:
Vicarious
Eye on the the TV
'Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be, like...
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used a poison
in his tea...kissed him goodbye"
THAT'S my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies
Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying,
"Why, oh why?"
Cause I need to watch things die... from a distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
YOU ALL NEED IT TOO, DON'T LIE
Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
will write us this story so
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
I need to watch things die... from a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same, so...
Why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain falling down
DRUM ON GRAVE AND GROUND
Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and Voyuer
still have the chance, men don't sink to the death rattle
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie (x4)
Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
pull your head on out you hand
please, and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive... so it is, so it's always been
We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I
Jambi
Here from the king's mountain view
Here from the wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan I do
On treasures and flesh, never few.
But I, I would wish it all away
If I thought I'd Lose you just one day
The devil AND his had me down
IN love WITH the dark side I'd found.
Dabble in all the way down
Up to my neck soon to drown.
But you changed that all for me
Lifted me up, turned me round
So I
I
I
I
I would
I would
I would
Wish this all away
PRAY like a MARTYR dusk to dawn
Beg like a hooker all night long
Tempted the devil with my song
And got what I wanted all along
But I
And I would
If I could
And I would
Wish it away
Wish it away
Wish it all away
Wanna wish it all away
No prize that could hold sway
Or justify my giving away
my center
So if I could I'd wish it all away
If I thought tomorrow would take you away
You're my peace of mind, my home, my center
I'm just trying to hold on
One more day
Dim my eyes
Dim my eyes
Dim my eyes if they should compromise
our fulcrum what you need divides me then
I might as well be gone
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent son
Shine down upon the broken
Shine until the two become one
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent son
Shine on upon the severed
Shine until the two become one
Divided I'm withering away
Divide and I'm withering away
Shine on upon the many, light our way
Benevolent son
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
So as one survive
Another day and season
Silence leech, and save your poison
Silence leech, and stay out of my way
Wings For Marie (Part1)
You believed
You believed in moments not conceived
You believed in me
A passionate spirit
Uncompromise
Without us in your heart
A light in your eyes that
Ends all lies
Vacant, broken
Fell at the hands of
Those moments that I wouldnt see
Cause it was you who prayed for me so
What have I done to be a son to an angel
What have I done to be worthy
Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence
Difficult to see you in this light
Please forgive this selfish question, but
What am I to say to all these ghouls tonight
She never told a lie
Well might of told a lie
But never lived one
Didnt have a life
Didnt have a life
But surely saved one
Alright, now its time for us to let you go
10,000 Days (Wings Part2)
We listen to the tales and romanticize,
How we follow the path of the hero
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun,
How we'll rise to the height of our halo.
Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior
Fading all the trials and the tribulations,
None of us have actually been there,
Not like you...
The ignorant flippants in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me...
None of them can even hold a candle up to you
Blinded by choices,
hypocrites won't see
But enough about the collective Judas
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
Your little piece of the divine
This little light of mine it gives your past unto me,
I'm gonna let it shine,
to guide you safely on your way
Your way home...
Ohh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun
Other than tremble incessantly?
High is the way
but our eyes are upon the ground.
You are the light and the way
They'll only read about
I only pray heaven knows
When to lift you out
10000 days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home...
You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fist at the gates saying,
"I have come home now!"
Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father,
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
"It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my
Give me my wings!"...
Give me my (x5)
"Give me my wings"
You are the light, the way, that they will only read about
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
Burden of proof tossed upon non-believers.
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one.
Daylight dims leaving cool flourescence.
Difficult to see you in this light.
Please forgive this bold suggestion:
Should you see your maker's face tonight
Look him in the eye
Look him in the eye and tell him
I never lived a lie, never took a life,
But surely saved one
Hallejullah,
It's time for you to bring me home.
The Pot
Who are you to wave your finger?
Ya' must have been out your head
EYE HOLE deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
Rob the grave, to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down
Soapbox,house of cards,and glass
So don't go tossin' your stones around
You must have been high
You must have been high
You must have been
Foot in mouth, and head up ASS
SO WHATCHA talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
'til you pull it out, boy!
You must have been, so high
You must have been, so high
Steal, borrow, refer, save your shady inference
KANGAROO done hung the juror with the innocent
Now will you weep or, CHANGE THE CHOSEN INTO GOLD
GOT LEMON JUICE UP IN YOUR EYE
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high
You must have been high, high
Who are you to wave your finger? So full of it
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Fuckin' hypocrite
Liar, lawyer, mirror, show me
What's the difference?
KANGAROO done hung the guilty with the innocent
NOW!!
Will you weep or CHANGE THE CHOSEN INTO GOLD
GOT LEMON JUICE UP IN YOUR EYE
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You musta been!
So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your MIGHTY fingers at me?
You must, have been, out your, mind!
Reefer chased off indigo
Trapped without a reason
Reefer chased off indigo
Liar, lawyer,
Mirror for ya,
What's the difference?
KANGAROO be stoned
He's guilty as the government
NOW
Will you weep or CHANGE THE CHOSEN INTO GOLD
GOT LEMON JUICE UP IN YOUR EYE
EYE
Now when you pissed all over my black kettle
You musta been high, high, high, high
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
YOU'RE balls deep in muddy waters
Ganja Police, you must, have been, out your mind!!!!

Lost Keys
Here is the conversation that takes place between the Nurse and the Doctor, and eventually the Doctor and the Patient.
Lost Keys
(voices fading in)
Nurse: Excuse me? Doctor? Do you have a moment?
Doctor: A moment? What's the question?
Nurse: More of a situation, a gentleman in exam 3
Doctor: What's the problem?
Nurse: That is the problem, we're not sure.
Doctor: You got the chart?
Nurse: Right here.
Doctor: Not much here to say
Nurse: No doctor, no obvious physical
trauma. Vitals are stable.
Doctor: Name?
Nurse: No sir.
Doctor: Did someone drop him off? Maybe we could speak to them. Let's get some background on this fella.
Nurse: No ID. Nothing (heavy breathing in background) And he won't speak to anybody.
Doctor: Well, let's say hello. Good Morning, I'm Dr. Lawson. How are you today? How - are - you today?! Look son, you're in a safe place. We wanna help in whatever way we can. But you need to talk to us. We can't help you otherwise. What's happened? Tell me everything.
(Growling and heavy breathing grows louder)
Rosetta Stoned
alrighty then
picture this if you will
10 to 2 AM
and actually eating up an old box of Krispy Kremes
and my need-to-know potion.
I was just outside Area 51
contemplating the whole chosen people� thing
when a flaming stealth banana split the sky like, wide open.
I never expected to see it in a place like this.
I do believe I spilled a diamond sundae
or something wet on my Birkenstocks
and [you're yelping]
Holy fucking shit
then the x-file beings who were like
some kind of blue-grey [Jackie Chan]
with Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked
[Theyre wicked-shot terrorists all by making the sound]
abananadabanana so when I opened up my bug eyes, my gaping jaw and my sweaty lower and upper lip
and all I could think was
I hope that my partner here doesn't notice
that I pissed my fucking pants
So alive in this way
Like an apparition
you have me crying out
fuck me
It's got to be
dead head
Chemistry
The blotter got
On top of me
got me seeing
E mother-fucking T
and after calming me down with some orange slices
and some fetal spooning
the ET revealed to me his singular purpose
he said you are the chosen one
the one who'll deliver the message
a message of hope for those who chose to hear it
and a warning for those who do not
me, the chosen one, they chose me
and I didn't graduate from fucking high school
You had better...
You had better...
You had better...
You had better listen
when he looked right through me
with somniferous almond eyes
don't even know what that means
must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time they floated away
See, my heart is pounding
Cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now
it was so real
like I woke up in Wonderland
all sort of terrifying
I don't want to be all alone
when I tell the story
and can anyone tell me why
It was a repeat experience
will I ever be coming down
this is so real
finally it's my lucky day
see my heart is racing
cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now
You believe me don't you
Please believe what I just said
See they're telling the truth
And this wasn't all in my head
See they took me by the hand
and invited me right in
then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin
Strapped down my bed
feet cold, eyes red
I'm out my head
am I alive am I dead
can't remember what they said
god damn shit the bed
hey hey
Overwhelmed as one would be placed in my position
such a heavy burden now to be the one
Born to (bear and read to) all the details of our ending
to write it down for all the world to see
but I forgot my pen shit the bed again
typical
strapped down to my bed
feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
am I alive am I dead
Sunkist and Sudafed
Gyroscopes and infrared
won't help the brain dead
can't remember what they said
don't know, oh no
god damn shit the bed

Pure as we begin.
Pure as we come in.
Pure as we begin.
Ruled by will alone.
Pure as we begin.
Here we have a stone.
Gather, place, erase so. (*)
Shelter turns to home.
Pure as we begin.
Here we have a stone.
Throw to stay the stranger. (*)
Swore to crush his bones. (*)
Ruled by will alone.
Spark becomes a flame.
Flame becomes a fire.
Light the way or warm this.
Home we occupy.
Spark becomes a flame.
Flame becomes a fire.
Forge a blade to slay the stranger.
Take whatever we desire.
Moved by will alone.
Pure as we begin.
Pure as we begin
Move by will alone.
Leave as we come in.
Pure as light.
Return to one.
Move by will alone.
Move by will alone.
Right In Two
Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.
Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it
Right in two
Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And where there's one
they're bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They make a club
And beat their brother..down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant IS A CREATURE WHO WOULD SQUANDER THE ABILITY TO LIVE TO LIGHT
A HEAVEN CONSCIOUS OF HIS FLEETING TIME HERE
Cut it all right in two (x4)
Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over life, over blood, over prayer, overhead and light
Fight over love, over sun, over another
Fight...
Angels on the sideline again
BEEN SO LONG WITH patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end
Cut it all right in two (x3)
Right in two
Right in two...
