[Moth]

Say hello to heaven

Please
Mother mercy
Take me from this place
And the long winded curses
I keep hearing in my head
Words never listen
And teachers never learn
Now I'm warm from the candle
But I feel too cold to burn
He came from an island
And he died from the street
He hurt so bad like a soul breaking

And now the sun is low
And these walls try to break my soul
And now the moon is full
And I wont see nothing tonight
But the tears in her eyes and
My four walled world
But he never said nothing to me
So say hello to heaven

New like a baby
Lost like a prayer
The sky was your playground
But the cold ground was your bed
Poor stargazer
She's got no tears in her eyes
Smooth like whisper
She knows that love heals all wounds with time
Now it seems like too much love
Is never enough
You better seek out
Another road 'cause this one has
Ended abrupt
Say hello to heaven

I never wanted
To write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases
Of things we'll never do
So I blow out the candle
And I put you to bed
Since you can't say to me
Now how the dogs broke your bone
There's just one thing left to be said
Say hello to heaven


Reach down

I had a dream the other night
You were in a bar
In the corner on a chair
Wearing a long white leather coat
Purple glasses and glitter in your hair
And you said
Hey
This is where I'm gonna sit
And buy you a drink someday
You were going to the dog shows
But you kinda lost your way
You say now I got all this room
And no money to decorate it
So some local customer
Put me in touch with the man
Upstairs he said
Little man
You got no business gettin' frustrated
You gotta rest
You gotta rest
You gotta reach down

And pick the crowd up
Carry back in your hands
To the promised land

Now I had some angel shine my wings
She said
Nothin' but the best for the golden boy
She made me promise
Not to tell I had her under
A spell singing golden words
In a broken voice
And I caught some blessing
On the wind
I'm feeling lighter
Than a whisper from a dove
I've got no hands to tie behind my back
And I'm sparking like a heart attack
Now I've got room to spread my wings
And my messages of love
Yes
Love was my drug
But that's not what I died of
So don't think of me
Crying louder than some billion dollar Baby
?Cause I gotta rest
I gotta rest
I gotta

Reach down
And pick the crowd up
Carry back in my hand
To the promised land


Hunger Strike

I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
Yeah
But it's on the table
The fire is cooking
And they're farming babies
While the slaves are working
The blood is on the table
And their mouths are choking
But I'm growing hungry

I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
But it's on the table
The fire is cooking
And they're farming babies
While the slaves are working
But it?s on the table
Their mouths are choking
But I'm growing hungry
(I'm growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry
(Growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry
(Growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry
(Growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry
(Growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry
(Growing hungry)

I don't mind stealing bread
(I don't mind)
No, I don't mind stealing bread

I'm growing hungry
(Growing hungry)
I'm growing hungry
(Growing hungry)



Pushin' forward back

Mother
Mother found me on her step
Gracious mother
Held me to her breast
Until the day I started pushin'
Too late to cry she turned away
I started pushin'
I saw no future in this lack
I started pushin' forward back

Baby brother clinging to her hair
Gracious mother pleading not another
Soul to bare he started pushin'
All my kings have fallen down
I started pushin'
Fallen heroes feed the ground
I started pushin' forward back

Falling down
Now I know her
I know I'll never drown

I was pushin' forward back



Call me a dog

You call me a dog
Well that's fair enough
'Cause it ain't no use to pretend
You're wrong
When you call me out
I can't hide anymore
I have no disguise
You can't see through

Well you say it's bad luck
To have fallen for me
Well what can I say
To make it good for you
You wore me out like an old winter coat
Trying to be safe from the cold

But when it's my time to throw
The next stone
I'll call you beautiful if I call at all

You tell me I'm low
'Cause I've slept on the floor
And out in the woods
With the badgers and wolves
You threw me out
'Cause I went digging for gold
And I came home
With a handful of coal

But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful
Or leave it alone
You call me a dog
Well that's fair enough
It doesn't bother me
As long as you know
Bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash
And you drag me along



Times of trouble

When the spoon is hot
And the needle's sharp
And you drift away
I can hear you say
That the world in black
Is upon your back
And your body shakes
So you ditch away
And you close the shades

Don't try to do it
Don't try to kill your time
You might do it
Then you can't change your mind
You've got a hold on to your time
Till your break through these
Times of trouble

When you try to talk
And the words get hard
And they put you down
Don't you stay
Don't you ditch away

I saw you swinging
Swinging your mother's sword
I know you're playing but
Sometimes the rules get hard
But if somebody left you out on a ledge
If somebody pushed you over the edge
If somebody loved you and left you for dead
You got to hold on to your time till you break
Through these times of trouble


Wooden Jesus

Wooden Jesus where are you from
Korea or canada or maybe taiwan
I didnt know it was the holy land
But I believed from the minute
The check left my hand, and I pray

Can I be saved, I spent all my money
On a future grave
Wooden jesus Ill cut you in
On twenty percent of my future sin

Porcelain mary her majesties pure
Looking for virgin territory
Coat hanger halos dont come cheap
From television shepherds with living room
Sheep, and I pray

Can I be saved, I spent all my money
On a future grave
Wooden jesus Ill cut you in
On twenty percent of my future sin

your savior

People like you, I know myself
Walk in the shoes of somebody else
Whisper to me, my tragic fate
Whisper to me, my tragic end
But don't give me your savior

People I choose, life on my own
Burn me your fuse, throw me your stones
Give me your brand, burn on my hand
Whisper to me, my tragic end
But don't give me your savior

People I choose, I know myself
Lay my need out, give you my help
But you give me your blues
And you whisper my fate
But don't give me your savior


four walled world

Well she cried, and she cried
All night to the sound of the freeway hum
And she swears shell be gone
When the sun hits the ground
And she aint coming back to my cell

Well shes tired and shes tired
Of this life shes been leading too long
And the times turns around
Through the walls that surround
To the chimes of a jailors song

In my four walled world

Well she tries and she tries
But my feet just wont leave the ground
And Im tired and Im tired
Of this prisoners life, and these chains
That drag me down

In my four walled world

And now the sun is low
And these walls try to break my soul
And now the moon is full
And I wont see nothing tonight
But the tears in her eyes and
My four walled world



all night thing

She motioned to me
That she wanted to leave
And go somewhere warm
Where wed be alone
I do not know, whats going on
But Im guessing its an all night thing

If its an all night thing
Nobody is gonna make it end
And if it doesnt begin
Dont worry that Ill that offense
And if its an all night thing
And we fall like a tear falling
To the ground
Ill never come around
And youll never hear a word from me
If its an all night thing

I walked along, feeling at ease
And falling like rain
Into her scheme
She wont let on what that will be
But Im guessing
Its an all night thing

If its an all night thing
Nobody is gonna make it end
And if it doesnt begin
Dont worry that Ill take offense
And if its an all night thing
And we fall like a tear falling
To the ground
Ill never come around
And youll never hear a word from me
If its an all night thing
