Feet of Clay

Here I stand a lonely man
With my house made on the sand
You must see me, will you know me?
Once I was a happy man
With a visionary plan
Will you lead me? Does it bleed me?
Just an image, with feet of clay
Take my hand and you can show me
Take me there, I'll let you know me
There it goes my master plan
Will the world understand
Does it teach me? Can you reach me?
Yes I take your good advice
But I make the sacrifice
Will it burn me? Does it bleed me?
Just an image, with feet of clay
Give me peace and let me know you
Show me love and let me grow too
(Nebuchadrezzar)

Cover Girl
05:47
|

A country café
Gingham squares
She's reading about cover girls
Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton
She puts 'em on she wears them all
Talks of fashion, and dreams of fame
Moves to the city's concrete halls
She gets the call, sweet audition
Now she's a cover girl
Well here she comes, with paparazzi
Its another photo call
She's got the look, they got the money
Don't that just say it all?
At the party, dancing all night
Its like Studio 54
Eating paper, bulimic bathroom
She'll hit the covers thats for sure
But she's an image
Another picture
Just a pin up
Oh yeah
Like Aphrodite, Kate and Miranda
Just another cover girl
Well you can have her
But you can't touch her
Your eyes caress her
You can see it all
In a magazine
You think you want her
You hope she needs you
Inside the cover
You can see it all
But you'll never make that scene
The way she moves, a camera vision
Wows all the pretty boys
Madison Avenue, Hollywood Boulevard
Movers and shakers, white noise
A taxi cab, a rainy sidewalk
Another New York dawn
Mobile phone rings
Self medication
One more star is born
But she's an image
Another picture
Just a pin up
Oh yeah
Like Greta Garbo, or Mona Lisa
Just another cover girl
But she is empty
And kinda lonely
Her sad smile sells it all
She’s on top now, they can't replace her
She's the cover girl
But she's an image
Another picture
Just a pin up
Oh yeah
Like Mrs Derrick, or Farrah Fawcett
Just another cover girl
But she's empty and oh so lonely
Her sad smile tells it all
And when shes used up
They replace her
With yet another cover girl

American with a Gun
02:44
|
|||
I don't want you hangin' round my door
I can buy a gun at any corner store
Second amendment, civil rights
Reloaded redneck, hit the lights
Sandy Hook, NRA, G.W. Bush
James Earl Ray
The camera follows in slow motion
The dust rises, shows no emotion
He fingers the trigger with devotion
Who's got ‘em on the run?
Its an American with a gun
Turn my streets into the O.K. Corral
Take that thing outta my face
Listen to me pal
Nazi republican, make my day
Cold dead hands, sniper, J.F.K
Columbine, guns are hip
Al Capone, autoclip
Who's got the Blackhawks in the air?
Look out for his steely stare
Everyones dead but he don't care
Who's walking off into the sun?
Its an American with a Gun
Valentine's day, John Wayne
Armalites, its in vain
Jesse James, Oswald too
One a minute, its a zoo
I can't understand
The point they want to make
How many times
Must they make the same mistake?
They don't learn, they can't see
It ain't the land of the free
Whats the most dangerous thing to be?
Its an American
With a gun

Place in the Sun
04:53
|

Risin' outta nowhere
Fallin' like the rain
Dogs of war comin'
Hear the thunder again
Its a time of trouble
And its coming for you
And the sun don't shine
And the stars fall too
No place to hide
No way to run
And you must let go
Of your place in the sun
Shinin' like a rainbow
Its an eye in the sky
Movin' in the shadows
Time to die
You were given fair warning
But you turned away
There’s a new world dawning
But not for you today
Its an hour of test
And you're coming undone
And its time for you to lose
Your place in the sun

Shot Down in Flames
05:26
|

Betrayed by a friend
Its how many stories end
With a Judas kiss
Its always hard to watch
Kinda hard to miss
But there's a price to paid
No matter what you say
You lose, you never gain
Its hard to stop the monster
Now its off the chain
You play the game
But how is it now?
You feel the shame
Shot down in flames
All your life, some grand parade
Showing off the plan you made
But we know, it was a game you played
The curtain closes, the lights all fade
The crowd has all faded
An empty stage
Who knows your name?
Shot down in flames
All the moves that you make
Always seemed kinda fake
Your imitation plastic smile
The Hydra's teeth are upon you child
All of this time
You tried to break the rule
As you sow so you reap
Even if what you harvest is kinda cheap
The truth will always come on out
Of that there never was a doubt
When you hurt the ones you love
You always lose, thats always true
You are so jaded
Shackled and chained
You live the shame
Shot down in flames
All the moves that you made
It was just a masquerade
All the faces had so many names
Now its all shot down in flames

Trick of the Light
04:23
|
|||
Well the shadows are a moving
In the corner of your eyes
And the water keeps on dripping
Through the holes in your mind
And the man in the mirror can't lose
Because he's not ready to fight
And something’s gotta tell him
Its another trick of the light
Well theres a storm thats slowly brewing
In the hollows of his soul
And the water’s constantly rising
And its bound to overflow
And the man in the picture seems worried
By the coming of the night
Or maybe he just realises its another
Trick of the light
Well theres a change thats a comin'
And its carried on the wind
Its got your name written on it
You can't miss it my friend
And the man in the subway
Is singing his heart out tonight
And his song’s all about
One more trick of the light

27 Club
06:52
|

The monkey ripped off your skin
And let the spiders in
Another voodoo child arrives
27 Club
The face behind the mask you wear
The leather’s wearing thin
Your orphan son is left undone
Its not a joke to him
The waters rising all around
Black snake lizard king
A bus arrives, takes him along
27 Club
Hold your cards, aces and eights
Its a funny thing
With her mojo rising, its so suprising
An L.A. Woman sings
Come now, don't wait
Showtime, don't be late
Another fool gets off the bus
At the 27 Club
Takes his seat in the scenic lounge
Where everything is free
I got no time for suicide
Its a waste of time for me
Chasing fame
Its all over now
Make a name
‘Cos you're shot down
The snowman drops some dust around
So it all begins
Nirvana's king strides through the doors
27 Club
The tears around your heart-shaped box
The mess in deepening
You didn't have a gun is what you sung...
The air is thinning all around
Lonely blonde haired boy
They found a home for Mr Jones
27 Club
The rolling stone still hesitates
At the mention of that game
Its clear to see
That the maître d'
Had a table in your name
Roll up, today
Tickets please, just one way
Another fool gets off the bus
At the 27 Club
Takes his seat in the scenic lounge
Where all the drugs are free
I got no time for your suicide
‘Cos I saw it on TV
Losing game
All over town
Such a shame
Now you're shot down

You Killed in my Name
07:51
|

You were queen
Oh how you shone
Blinding minds
In confusion
Drunken cup
Falls from your hand
You were drunk
On the blood of innocent man
Your world, it lies bleeding
Under the blaze of a burning sun
On the wind, voices screaming
You killed in my name
On a bed
Of compromises
Drying up
Oh it surprises
Kings were lovers
Not anymore
Yes the blame
Is laid at your open door
In an hour
What you're hiding
You will fall
From the beast you're riding
Blood and fire
Smoke and flame
The angels sing
You killed in my name

What You Want
03:27

My baby don't talk no evil
My baby speaks no evil
Butter wouldn't melt
In her mouth
My baby she talks in riddles
My baby speaks in riddles
She could cut you
With a knife
This feeling's so much better
You get what you want
I gave you everything you want
You get what you want
We gave you everything you want
My baby moves in circles
My baby turns in circles
You won't catch her
Out at night
She don't cast no shadow
My baby leaves no shadow
You won't find her
No no no
This feeling's so much better
You get what you want
They gave you everything you want
You get what you want
He gave you everything you want
My baby don't speak no evil
My baby talkss no evil
Butter wouldn't melt
In her mouth
This feeling's so much better
You get what you want
He gave you everything you want
You get what you want
She gave you everything you want
You get what you want
God gave you everything you want
You get what you want
Your god gave you everything you want
