7/13/2000 alternate lyrics

rise and string along
the future is a mess
like living long and hard
oh the ending is the best
don't you love like razor
sharpest at the edge
like to live like a big dog does
when the bone goes through his head

so the greed of love is all
won't you give it to lighten
oh little lady would you delight to get on
made her all of this you bet you caught yours
not to live within your destined roll in your life
i got this number too

fall then tossed away
reason is all our wings could brave again
fly black winged bird go away
leave me to my disgrace

oh no lay here all alone sit around and
say your best is always not your best
you got so long
my motive yeah yeah
is normal i promise you
the heaven that i promised you
won't mean i know this all this right once you do

hatred greed it's all a lie
they're digging into the end
oh fill your belly fat man
the food is your best friend
wave your life of bleak yeah
won't you give up life
son is that shit you're living in
it's the best of all you got

the best of all you got

oh you laid up lazies
the anger struck the strike
wonder the reason
the future is a mess

rained on raven pay me
won't you keep live your life
and open you up and let me out
cut it up with your knife

bought then tossed away
read oh the greed
makes fat man slip away
oh no i don't explain war
the world's such a big place

oh oh no i've lost myself again, again, again
baby find me i'm teetering off of the end, the end, the end
walk on over then you all love your high
man i got the mirrors
but you turned your back on me
i've got no place where i could hide

so crazy love
won't you give it to lighten
oh rain on me rain
man get into the light
neighbors all have been talking
they're watching through the window
seen you burn down one and another
oh boy it's off to jail you go

bought then tossed away
good boy oh the soul that's lost is found today
just likes to dream away
oh this high makes him feel okay

oh oh lay here
praying only love you love he sewed you up
and made you whole today
oh i guess my i've had it wrong
oh my love is real here
i'm back inside my head for life
but all i do is dream that maybe
you'll be the one to save me darling i really do
Raven
main lyrics
"What you got? what you got in your hand?" father said to son
"I got the whole world here, Daddy, 'tween my fingers and my thumb
"will you take care of it, please? it's the only one"
"well, it'd take me a lifetime, old man, to undo what you done"
undo what you done

"Oh, come on, now, boy, think, what would Jesus do?"
"he'd shake his head like a angry mother," spoke the boy
"and say I did what I could do"
"but you take care of it, please, like it's the only one you got
and it'd take ten lifetimes, boy, to undo what I've done"

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched as he was leaving
boy just walked away
the man stood alone thinking

One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds the gun
while everything is open, oh, everything is shut down, down, down
begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
and as I stand here, the ground beneath is nothing more than one point of view

What you got? what you got in your head? your secret's safe with me
well, I found the truth, friend, let me whisper in your ear
take good care of it, please, it's the only one there is
can I twist it, please? can I give it just a little twist?

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched that boy misgiving
boy just walked away
the man stood there twisting

One hand is bleeding, oh, as the other hand holds the gun
everything is open, now, everything is shut down, down, down
no one is holding even if you, even if you're sure
you never know it all, the ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched the boy as leaving
boy just walked away
man stood there twisting

One hand is open and the other hand holds the gun
well, everything is open, oh, is everything coming down, down, down?
no one is holding, oh, even if you're, even if you know
you never know it all, but nothing more than, nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched as he was leaving
the man just stood there twisting
