ALL NIGHT
got all night
plenty of time
take these chains
from my eyes
so alive
getting pride
take her down
before you die
right beside
we've got all night
is he here?
top of the stairs
no place for
the president
build some fears
slip outside
fuck, be content
to just get by
why? be satisfied
we've got all night
......
right besides
we've got... all night
we've got all night
we've got all night
SAD
all the photographs are peeling
the colors turn to gray, the stain
in his room with memories for days, he faced
an undertow of futures laid to waste, embraced
by the loss of one he could not replace
and there's no reason that she'd pass
and there is no god with the plan, it's sad
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he could only love you, it's sad
the door swings through a passing fable
a fate we may delay, we say
holding on, to live within our embrace
he lit a match, he laid in bed
hoping their dreams would bring her back, it's sad
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he could only love you, it's sad
holding his last breath, believing
he'll make his way
but she's not forgotten
he's haunted
he's searching for escape
if just one wish could bring her back, it's sad
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he will always love you, it's sad
DOWN
down, fell by the wayside
no getting out
oh down, cry me a river
dried up and dammed
the names can be changed
but the place is still the same
i am loaded, told that all's for naught
holds me down
rise, life is in motion
i'm stuck in line
oh rise, you can't be neutral
on a moving train
one day the symptoms fade
think i'll throw these pills away
and if hope could grow from dirt like me
it can be done
won't let the light escape from me
won't let the darkness swallow me
yeah!
HITCHHICKER
you fool, dude what do what you think you're doing?
so you're lost, my problem, that's not
conductor says, "off of my train"
we understood, guess those relationships ain't my thing
even if i could, you aint the kind of person i would help anyway
i'm about to explode
cuz i can't carry your load
hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker
you're cool, according to your calculations
we're friends, only because of my situation
i'm about to unload
cuz i can't carry your load
hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker
hitchhiker...
so be gone, too soon is too late
i dont want to be late
so be gone, get your food off someone else's plate
go tell all your friends
i'm an idiot and you're great
hitchhiker... hitchhiker...
now go, hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker

ALONE
wide awake like snakes in a panic
never woke up alone ever before
had his woman long as he can remember
his to forget, but he can't, he can't...
out of bed and he dreams in the shower
she's standing naked, he's apologizing
reaches for her and the water turns red, got
woken up to be burned, burned, again...
go it alone
you got it, so it goes
got his knees to his face
he can't take it any other way
on the streets he's a-walkin', wounded
having nothing, he's got nothing to say
thoughts of suicide and alleviation
anything to get his heart off of the coals
go it alone
you got it, so it goes
got his knees to his face
he can't take it for another day, yeah yeah...
wide awake and he shakes in a panic
never woke up alone ever before
had his woman long as he can remember
sears to forget, but he can't, he can't...
IN THE MOONLIGHT
in the moonlight
gettin', why i ought to get back

it's getting closer to opens
in the moonlight
given two on the swings
a beautiful star, i see
i wanna full sense of fear
in the moonlight
fear, it's a long draw nearer
darkened days, it's spent in
a night bird is following you all the time
under a star-lined ceiling
in darkness, i see
all your senses revealed
in the moonlight

darkened days, it's spent in
a night bird is following you all the time

darkened days, it's spent in
a night bird is following you

EDUCATION
i'm questioning my education
is my education more than i got?
while you're deciding, i've been finding
looking around in the here and now
if i can talk from the beginning
would my fears now by where they are?
i'm questioning my own equation
is my own equation relevant somehow?
the flags will wave and the news is breaking
see the man who can't pick out his own tie
if i've been taught from the beginning
would my fears now be winning?
a wild world, figuring out the answers
i'll be in my own dance and iiii...
i'm questioning my education
rewind and what does it show?
could be, the truth it becomes you
i'm a seed, wondering why it grows
BLACK,RED,YELLOW
exponentially serving
perpetually unnerving
vehicle swerving
the adjectives they are all a blurring
freud walking the sidelines
clipboard scoring the brain
black magic painted traits

hormones firing like a fifty foot roman, yeah

don't matter anyway
phantom pain in my brain

GREMMIE OUT OF CONTROL
every beach has a clown who thinks he knows it all (hang-ten outta
santa fe when surf comes out tomorrow lets go)
and he's always practicing his cowabunga call (cowabunga)
but he'll never scramble when the big waves start to roll
cause there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
the kids always know that gremmie's talk is cheap (ride the hula-han
over the pipeline bonsai to the saddle bowl)
oh they just try to ignore this ugly creep (cowabunga)
his board is always full of dings
cause he's always doing stupid things
and there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
there's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
WHALE SONG
the sun was in clouds, the sun looked out
exposed a trail of mist and spouts
ships followed the ancient lead
deceiving friends under the sea
wow, imagine that? they won't fight back
i got a theory on that
a whale's heart is as big as a car
a whaler's thought must be smudged by the dark
they won't fight back
i'm sure they know how
means they love or are too proud
they won't fight back
i'm sure they know how
means they love or too proud
they swim, it's really free
it's a beautiful thing to see
they sing
hunters of land, hunters of sea
exploit anything for money
i refer to anybody that takes advantage of what that is free
they won't fight back
it's only a thought that makes it seem right
what you don't see is because of your sight
take what you want, kill what you can
that's just one way from the mind of man
take their lives, sell their parts
but there is not taking of their hearts
if i was lost at sea
that harpoon boat in front of me
it's the whale i'd like to be
they won't fight back
they won't fight back
they won't fight back
they won't fight back
they won't fight back
they don't know how
they won't fight back
they won't fight back
they won't fight back
UNDONE
last stop on the westcoast line
south of the northern border
one small corner on my mind
everybody, they know me there
don't get any second glances
chances are that they don't care
the world has come undone
like to change it everyday
change don't come at once
it's a wave building before it breaks
can't wait for election day
witness the occupation
corporations rule the day
well you know the pendulum throws
farther out to the one side, swinging
has to sweep back the other way
the world has come undone
another day and who can wait
change don't come at once
it's a wave building before it breaks
all this hope and nowhere to go
this is how i used to feel, but no more
the world has come undone
like a game that few can play
change don't come from one
it's a wave building before it breaks
HOLD ON
was doom riding on top a black horse
whatever prize there was
i could only observe where the trouble starts
where does it end?
i cannot be cured
before it ends
i know life would be different if i held on (held on)
i know i could be something if i held on
gave her life away
put it in my pocket when it should've been framed
oh, it lost its shine
gotta get this out of my head
? my friend
how could it end?
and like this
how could it end?
i know life would be different had i held on (held on)
i know i could be something had i held on (held on)
i know i could be something if i held on (held on)
i know life would be different if i held on (held on)
held on
held on, if i held on
held on, if i held on
held on, if i held on
held on
YELLOW LEDBETTER

FATAL
how good is he?
how warm are his eyes
you'll see it's not a reprise
there he arrived
too late and too tethered away
to put on his suit and his tie
how good is he?
how warm is his heart
or ego telling him which place to park
did he relate, the message is clearly hardly
grounds for dismissal outright
grounds for dismissal outright
i wake up and wait up
when anger's in fashion
i wake up and wait up
it echoes through the mansions
i wake up and wait up
when april's in may, oh uh oh
i wake up and wait up
the answers are fatal
the answers are fatal
when i wait up and wake up
the answers are fatal
if he's truly out of sight
is he truly out of mind?
if he's truly out of sight..
OTHER SIDE
it's not the same without you up here
can't find my wheels
your absence is what breeds this fear
warm breath and all it steals
you can't know how it feels to be in here
all the dark horse fields, befriendin' me
playin' ain't the same without you here
we've come to hate the golden rule
cannot seem to make the dots connect
the morning light don't show you near
you can't know what it's like to bleed from here
the blackened world grows white, it goes nowhere
oooh hoo..
death ain't the same without you, dear
i make the others run and hide
new york streets seem to make it worse
all this noise inside the quiet
i can't hold on, the weight you bear
my body's broken fast, please lift me up
you can't know what it's like to be inside
your fading melodies can't beat my need
i'm not the same without you here
how can i quit to be there
sit and stare
stare..
begging for a prayer
FOOTSTEPS
don't even think about reachin' me, i won't be home
don't even think about stoppin' by, don't think of me at all
i did, what i had to do, if there was a reason, it was you...
aah...don't even think about gettin' inside
voices in my head...ooh, voices
i got scratches, all over my arms
one for each day, since i fell apart
i did...oh, what i had to do, if there was a reason, it was you
footsteps in the hall, it was you, you...oh...
pictures on my chest, it was you, it was you...
hey...i did, what i had to do...oh, and if there was a reason
oh, there wasn't no reason, no
and if, there's something you'd like to do
just let me continue, to blame you
footsteps in the hall, it was you, you...oh...
pictures on my chest, it was you, you...oh...
HARD TO IMAGINE
paint a picture, using only gray
light your pillow, lay back, watch the flames
i'll tell a story, no one would listen that long
it's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine...
tear into yourself, count tales on your arm
ah the beating, tickin' like a bomb
after having seen all that they saw
it's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine...
things were different then, all is different now
i tried to explain, somehow...
things were different then, all is different now
i tried to explain, somehow...
things were different then, all is different now
i tried to explain, i hope this works somehow...
things were different then, all is different now
i tried to explain, oh, somehow...
ooh...oh...oh...
WASH
oohh...
oh please, let it rain today
this city is so filthy, like my mind in ways
oh there was the time, like a clean, new taste
smiling eyes before me, inches from my face
wash my love
wash my love
wash my love, yeah...
sin the sale, buying just a need
oh who planted all the devils seeds
and what's the truth, and the truth that lies at home
it's on the inside, and i can't get it off, yeah...
wash my love
wash my love
wash my love, yeah...
what's clean is pure, but hey, i'm white on the outside, though i
stray
what she don't know today, might kill us both tomorrow, bring it
back some way
bring it back, back, back... to the clean form, to the pure form
wash my love
wash my love
wash my love
DEAD MAN
the settling of my every step
inching off of the earth
is magnified by the things i've done
the thing that i've become
every lift of my hand
coffee cup and back
is magnified by the things i've done
the things i've seen
the things i've caused
i'm a dead man walking
the hammer that i once brung down
now hovers over me
casts a shadow
a cross onto me
the hallways are all mocking me
what i've become
they're all mocking me
i'm a dead man walking
a dead man walking
a dead man walking
i'm a dead man walking
dead man walking
dead man walking
STRANGEST TRIBE
it's five below in evidence
the winded eves and sideways snow
his eminence has yet to show
follow the ageless tide
follow the angled light
follow the strangest tribe
i... i... i...
it's 6:00 AM...you're waiting for...
you've had your feast...you're wanting more
follow the wayward mile
follow the distant high
follow the strangest tribe
i... i... i...
follow the ancient stripe
follow the angels try
follow the strangest tribe
i... i... i...
DRIFITNG
drifting, drifting, drifting away
i got myself a mansion, then i gave it away
it's not the world that's heavy, it's just the things that you save
and i'm drifting, drifting away
drifting, drifting, drifting along
i rid myself of worries, and the worries were gone
i only run when i want to and i sleep like a dog
i'm just drifting, drifting along
the suitcoats say, "there is money to be made"
they get so damn excited, but i guess it's their way
my road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
it's good for drifting, drifting away
all the suitcoats say, "there is money to be made"
they get so damn excited, nothing get's in their way
my road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
it's good for drifting, drifting away
drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh
i feel like going back there, but never for long
i sometimes wonder if they know that i'm gone
i'm just drifting, drifting along
drifting, drifting along...drifting, drifting along
LET ME SLEEP
cold wind blows on the soles of my feet
heaven knows nothing of me
i'm lost, nowhere to go
oh when i was a kid, oh how magic it seemed
oh please let me sleep, it's christmas time
flowered winds was where i lived
thought you burned, not froze for your sins
oh i'm so tired and cold
oh when i was a kid, oh how magic it seemed
oh please let me sleep, it's christmas time
oh when i was a kid, oh how magic it seemed
oh please let me sleep, it's christmas time
oh oh when i...if i was a kid, oh how magic it seemed
oh please let me dream, it's christmas time
LAST KISS
oh where oh where can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so i got to be good
so i can see my baby when i leave this world
we were out on a date in my daddy's car
we hadn't driven very far
there in the road straight ahead
a car was stalled the engine was dead
i couldn't stop so i swerved to the right
i'll never forget the sound that night
the screaming tires, the busting glass
the painful scream that i heard last
oh where oh where can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so i got to be good
so i can see my baby when i leave this world
when i woke up the rain was pouring down
there were people standing all around
something warm flowing through my eyes
but somehow i found my baby that night
i lifted her head she looked at me and said
hold me darling just a little while
i held her close i kissed her our last kiss
i found the love that i knew i had missed
well now she's gone even though i hold her tight
i lost my love, my life, that night
oh where oh where can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so i got to be good
so i can see my baby when i leave this world

thank you
04/20/2002
so all you fools
who sang just like him
feel free to do so now
cuz he's dead
using, using, using
the using takes toll
isolation
just so happy to be one
sad to, sad to think
sad to think of him all alone
lonesome friend, we all knew
always hoped you'd pull through
no blame, no blame
no blame, it could be you
using, you can't grow old using
so sing just like him, fuckers
it won't offend him
just me
because he's dead
La versione giapponese di lost dogs si differenzia da quella
Americana ed Europea per due aspetti:
1. Nella tracklist manca Angel
2. Dopo Bee Girl c'è una canzone ancora senza titolo completamente
recitata Eddie Vedder, mentre nelle altre versioni è presente la
canzone scritta in memoria di Layne Staley. Di seguito il testo
dell'inedito presente nella versione giapponese:
I'M STILL HERE
She said to me...over the phone
She wanted to see other people
I thought, "well then, look around,they're everywhere"
Said that she was confused...
I thought "darling, join the club"
24 years old, mid-life crisis
Nowadays hits you when you're young
I hung up, she called back, i hung up again
The process had already started
At least it happened quick
I swear, i died inside that night
My friend, he called
I didn't mention a thing
The last thing he said was "be sound"
Sound...
I contemplated an awful thing, i hate to admit
I just thought those would be such appropriate last words
But i'm still here
Small, so small
How could this struggle seem so big?...so big
While the palms in the breeze still blow green
And the waves in the sea still absolute blue
But the horror
Every single thing i see is a reminder of her
Never thought i'd curse the day i met her
But since she's gone and wouldn't hear
Who would care? what good would that do?
But i'm still here
So i imagine in a month...or 12
I'l be somewhere having a drink
Laughing at a stupid joke
Or just another stupid thing
And i can see myself stopping short
Drifting out of the present
Sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep
And there i am, standing
Wet grass and white headstones all in rows
And in the distance there's one...off on its own
So i stop...kneel
My new home
And i picture a sober awakening, a reentry into this little bar
scene
Sip the drink 'til the ice hits my lip
Order another round
And that's it for now
Sorry
Never been too good at happy endings.
