1. When The Spirit Rises
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Don't You Mind Us
There's A Place Out In Space
Where The Darkest Matter Hides
All Truth Resides
And The Spirit Rides
Chorus
When The Spirit Rises
It Goes Over Our Heads
And Across The Ocean
Like A Hole In The Middle
Of My Imagination
We're Doomed, Yeah!
Time To Blast
There Is All
That Lives And Breathes
That's You And Me
The Air We Cannot See
That's Us
And Our Bodies Turn To Dust
Like A Fish
I'm Gonna Look Up Through The Top
Of My Bowl To The Hole
And I'll Never Know
What Goes On Out There
(Chorus)
Time To Blast
There Is All
That Lives And Breathes
That's You And Me
The Air We Cannot See
That's Us
And Our Bodies Turn To Dust
Like A Fish
I'm Gonna Look Up Through The Top
Of My Bowl To The Hole
And I'll Never Know
What Goes On Out There
(Chorus)
2. Way Back In The Woods
++++++++++++++++++++++++
I Lived On A Big Farm
When I Was A Little Boy
My Wooden Bowl And My Fishing Pole
Were My Favorite Toys
Swamp Gas, Kicked Ass
And The Foxfire Glowed
Lord Knows My Life Was Good
I Had A Hillbilly Girl
That Surrendered Herself To Me
Way, Way Back In The Woods
Chorus
Way Back
Way Back In The Woods
Way Back
Oh Yeah!
Way Back In The Woods!
Deep Down In The Cellar
Late One Night
With A Smoking Lamp
Lit For My Best Friend
Have You Ever Heard A Howling,
Screaming Noise
And Thought Your Life Would End
Well I Heard Of Things
That Turned Men To Stone
We Would Have Run If We Could
Injun Joe And The Windigo
Were Waiting For Me
Way, Way Back In The Woods
(Chorus)
Deep Down On My Knees
By My Bed At Night
I Pray Someday
God Will Help Me Get It Right
And I Know, Whoa Yeah,
Just How My Life Was Good
Cause There's A Pumpkin Pie
High Up In The Sky Waiting For Me
Way, Way Back In The Woods
(Chorus)
Way Back In The Woods
Way Back In The Woods
3. Flying Sorceress
+++++++++++++++++++
Slow Down Is What I Said
You Can't Afford To Lose Your Head
And The Way That You Drive
They'll Never Make It Alive
And So On Down The Road You Went
Not Knowing All Your Luck Was Spent
And Me Thinking All The Time
That It Was Heaven Sent
Chorus:
She Said
Take Another Look Into The Midnight
Tell Me Can You See Another Flying Sorceress?
Take Another Look Into Your Mind's Eye
Tell Me Can You See Another Flying Sorceress?
Another Daughter's Lost To Us
Tell Me What It Cost To Us
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah
Turn A Card If You Dare
Superstition's In The Air
I'm Consulting With Demons
Well We Haven't Got A Prayer
And So At Once You Risked It All
And Never Stopped To Heed The Call
And Now It's Rolling Away
Just Like A Crystal Ball
(Chorus)
So Turn A Card If You Dare
Superstition's In The Air
I'm Consulting With Demons
Well We Haven't Got A Prayer
Our Fortunes Told In Candlewax
My Tears Are Dripping Through The Cracks
And I'm Turning To Salt
And I Can't Stop Looking Back
(Chorus)
Tell Me Can You See Another Flying Sorceress?
Take Another Look Into The Hot Night
Tell Me Can You See Another Flying Sorceress?
Take Another Look Into Your Mind's Eye
Tell Me Can You See Another Flying Sorceress?
Take Another Look Into The Midnight
Tell Me Can You See Another Flying Sorceress?
4. Obey The Command
5. The Night Has 1000 Eyes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Because The Night
Has A Thousand Eyes
And A Thousand Eyes
Can't Help But See
And As They Watch
They Will Percieve
What's In Our Hearts
And Our Minds
And All That We Believe
And You Sure Know
You Cannot Hide
Chorus:
Because The Night
Has A Thousand Eyes
Whoa Yeah, You Better Watch Those Eyes
Nothing Matters Here
You Know You Saw It
But Soon You'll Know
That What You Knew
Was All A Bunch Of Shit
Now You'll Try Hard
Just To Forget
You'll Take For Granted
And
So Soon Will Regret
Ourselves We Fool
With All Those Lies
(Chorus)
Because The Night
Has A Thousand Eyes
You Won't Feel Right
Until You Let Go Of Those Lies
You'll Try Hard
Just To Forget
You'll Take For Granted
And
So Soon Will Regret
Ourselves We Fool
With All Those Lies
(Chorus)
6. Silver Spoon
+++++++++++++++
It's A Spoon
Just A Silver Spoon
When I Look Into The Bottom
I Can See The Moon
And The Light Of The Moon
Shines Down On Me
Tellin' Me There's A Place
Where I Outta Be
Boy
You're Killing Yourself
And You're Ruining Your Life
By Wrecking Your Health
And I Can See Right Away
Your Impending Doom
In The Bottom Of That Silver Spoon
Oh When I Was Low
And There Was No Other Place
In This Town To Go
Well I Ran Straight Home
Home To You
Knowing There'd Be Days Soon
When We Were Through
And I Spent All My Money
And All My Time
Wasted Without Reason Or Rhyme
And I've Had Enough
I Know You're Not A Toy
And I Won't Be Your Whipping Boy
I Was Not Born To Be Destroyed
And I've Had Enough Of Playing Coy
You're A Spoon
Just A Silver Spoon
When I Look Into The Bottom
I Can See The Moon
And The Light Of The Moon
Shines Down On Me
Tellin' Me There's A Place
Where I Outta Be
Boy
You're Killing Yourself
And You're Ruining Your Life
By Wrecking Your Health
And I Can See Right Away
Your Impending Doom
In The Bottom Of That Silver Spoon
You're A Spoon
Just A Silver Spoon
When I Look Into The Bottom
I Can See The Moon
And The Light Of Her Face
Shines Down On Me
Tellin' Me There's A Place
Where I Outta Be
Boy
You're Killing Yourself
And You're Ruining Your Life
By Wrecking Your Health
And I Can See Right Away
Your Impending Doom
At The Bottom Of That Silver Spoon
Oh When I Was Lost
And There Was No Other Way
To Pay The Cost
Well I Ran Straight Home
To Loving You
Knowing There'd Be Days Soon
When We Were Through
And I Spent All My Money
And All My Time
Wasted Without Reason Or Rhyme
But I've Had Enough
Quite Enough Of You
And I've Had Enough Of Getting Screwed
My Whole World Has Gone Askew
And My Lips Are Turning Blue
You're A Spoon
Just A Silver Spoon
When I Look Into The Bottom
I Can See The Moon
And The Light Of The Moon
Shines Down On Me
Tellin' Me There's A Place
Where I Outta Be
Boy
You're Killing Yourself
And You're Ruining Your Life
By Wrecking Your Health
And I Can See Right Away
Your Impending Doom
At The Bottom Of That Silver Spoon
7. Whiskey Bottle
8. Gollywog
9. Small Black Toad
10. When The Dark Clouds Return
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When The Dark Clouds Return
There's A Lesson For Us All To Be Learned
When You're Sitting Inside Of Your House
And Are You Never Ever Coming Out
And You've Saved And Stashed Away
For Tomorrow's A Rainier Day
Oh We'll Just Curse At The Clouds From Hell
While The Rain Goes On Drawing My Will
Chorus
When The Dark Clouds Return
They'll Hang Over My Head
Is The Sun And The Moon
Obscured By The Clouds
Or Is It My Heart Instead
When The Dark Clouds Return
Is The World Turning Upside Down
Where The Rocks Rain Up From The Ground
And You Walk On The Sky Below
As The Dark Casts A Lighter Shadow
Well I'm Just Glad That I Don't Live There
Cause If I Did Well I'd Haven't A Prayer
So I'll Just Curse At The Clouds From Hell
While The Rain Goes On Drawing My Will
(Chorus)
The Moon Rise
Brushes Up To My Chest
And Slowly Up To My Eyes
Oh It's A Well Known Fact
That It Can Rain For Many Days
Weeks Or Months Around These Parts
So All You People
Better Hang On To Your Homes
Your Children And Your Hearts
They'll Hang Over My Head
Is The Sun And The Moon
Obscured By The Clouds
Or Is It My Heart Instead
When The Dark Clouds Return
When The Dark Clouds Return
There's A Lesson For Us All To Be Learned
When You're Sitting Inside Of Your House
And Are You Never Ever Coming Out
And You've Saved And Stashed Away
For Tomorrow's A Rainier Day
Well We Can Curse At The Clouds From Hell
While The Rain Goes On Drawing My Will
(Chorus)
When The Dark Clouds Return
When The Dark Clouds Return
When The Dark Clouds Return
When The Dark Clouds Return
When The Dark Clouds Return
When The Dark Clouds Return
When The Dark Clouds Return
When The Dark Clouds Return
11. The Devil's Carnival
