Screaming Trees Album

Alright now
Push against the wooden table
A sliver cut and no trace of pain
I lose it's image as it blurs away
I feel the rope as it slowly frays

You never know where the twain shall meet
You never know which one stays
Keep aware of the trap that snares
Which one stays?

Statue people move like dripping water
Hit's a nail into the cracking ice
I sleep with thoughts of the coming day
I drag behind on a frozen chain

You never know where the twain shall meet
You never know which one stays
Keep aware of the trap that snares
Which one stays? Which one stays?

So I'm down
But I don't know what way I'm going
So very long
And it doesn't matter where this has gone

Slide a coin into the magic light machine
Watch a story that is never free
Takes it toll on you, energy-wise
Keeps you alone nearly all the time

You never know where the twain shall meet
You never know which one stays
Keep aware of the trap that snares
You're never gonna know which one stays
Which one stays?
Which one stays?

Yeah...
Oh, If you count every word I say
Over again you might find a way
Seven verses to magnify
Drop the feather for you will never fly

Tapestries of black and gold are crying
Looking through the windows
I am watching you as you go by

Down a wave of fire
Your pale skin can't turn any whiter
Grant a wish, sing a bitter tune
Never stops to forget you've seen

Tapestries of black and gold are crying
Looking through the windows
I am watching you as you go by

Walk along a lonely mile
Saw a bird falling at my feet
Crawling like a wounded child
Moving farther out of reach
I want to be alone now
Come on, come on, come on, hey

If you count every word I say
Over again you could find a way
Seven verses that magnify
Drop the feather for you will never fly

Tapestries of black and gold are crying
Looking through the windows
I am watching you as you go by

When the daylight shines
I'm gonna see your face

Ah, yeah, yeah

Can we go back
To the moments that we held before
Now I'm moving inside
To the place behind the door

You said, so it seems
This time you wait
Drag me to the hazy shadow
I will never scream

Argh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now you can do it
Don't let it slip right through
Don't let the maddest people
Pick a part of you
Walk away in the dark
Too much praying
Too strange to see
Come down to my house, baby
There's things you won't believe

Black sun morning
Coming up to greet the dawn
Black sun morning
Coming up to greet us all
To greet us all

I seen a ghost heading for your life
I feel her burning me
In the back of my eyes
And I see it all the time
Because it's scaring me this time
As we step from day to night
Should I stay or should I...?

Black sun morning
Coming up to greet the dawn
Black sun morning
Coming up to greet us all
To greet us all, woah...

I can see her eyes
On my mind
Shouting out
I'm left out
All let down
I feel it slipping through my fingers
I feel it slipping away, away, away

Woah...

Black sun morning
Coming up to greet the dawn
Black sun morning
Coming up to greet us all

Black sun morning
Coming up to greet the dawn
Black sun morning
Coming up to greet us all

Black sun morning
Coming up to greet the dawn
Black sun morning
Coming up

Ow, Ow, Ow

I sit alone in discontent
Your ears don't hear what I say
After a while you disconnect
To set you apart from pain

I walked past you all your life
But there is only one place
Next to you where I decide
In the presence of grace

Hide your eyes from what is real
And you don't know what I'll do
The planets locked in all these drawers
But only one holds the clue

Watch for people coming through
They don't know where I stand
One foot is by your side
And one in another land

I been down so many roads
As a child too far away
I've been down so many roads
I was travelling too far away, I say

I returned from miles away
To find that I didn't know you
I would go where the river flows
If I were able to
But I walk by you once again
There is only one place
Next to you where I decide
In the presence of your grace

I've been down so many roads
As a child too far away
I've been down so many roads
I was travelling too far away
I been down so many roads
I was travelling too far away

Ba, ba, ba, ba, aah

Alright
Yeah, yeah

Your subtle poison slips through my veins
The dark cloud inside of me
It hovers slow till you finally know
I'm waiting just to set it free

Well, the walls are closing in right on you
What are you gonna do now
The walls are closing in right on you
What did you think I would do now, hey

Well, come on
What I want it still evades me
A black fog behind me
A figure looming over my shoulder
Pushing me so very near

Now, the walls are closing in right on you
What are you gonna do now
The walls are closing in right on you
What did you think I would do now
Hey, they're closing in right on you
Yeah

Alright, yeah

Your subtle poison slips through my veins
A dark cloud inside of me
It hovers slow till you finally know
I'm waiting just to set it free

Well, the walls are closing in right on you
What are you gonna do now
The walls are closing in right on you
What did you think I would do now
The walls are closing in right on you
What did you think I would do now
The walls are closing in right on you
What are you gonna do now
Yeah

They're closing in right on you
They're closing in right on you
Closing in right on you
In right on you
Closing in right on you
Closing in right on you
Closing in right on you

Yard trip number seven
Is the one that they painted on the lawn
If we load it up into this gun
Soon it'll all be gone

Quarter to eleven
On the day of my birth
In the desert wind
I will have a grin that might
Shatter the earth

Woah, woah, woah, woah (woe)

There's three short ways to live again
Crumble like paper upon my skin
They all tell you to try
But you're gonna cry
When no one cares where you been

Couple days of driving
In circles, I'd rather spin
We got eight more lives
And two more tries
And six ways for tripping me out

Yard trip number seven
Is the one they tried to steal from heaven
And if we load it up into this gun
soon it'll all be gone

And we have to do it via question and answer response, that we have to put it on-line
OK
so, uh, the question will be "What kind of trees are you?" the reply would be "Screaming Trees"
OK
Simple - to the point.

Stare into the empty space here in front of us
Storms crowd your daydream scene
What will you find

We're not alone when it's the two of us
Sleep comes to haunt the hours passed behind
You put your head into the flower web
When you put your head into the flower web

And the world will change into a fog of butterflies
Within our reach and in our sky

Sorry that we couldn't find the time to cry
When you put your head into the flower web
You put your head into the flower web right now

Inside the empty space here in front of us
Storms crowd your daydream scene
What will you find

We're not alone when it's the two of us
Sleep comes to haunt the hours passed behind
When you put your head into the flower web
When you put your head into the flower web

And the world will change into a dark and withered rose
Around our head and in our sky, sky, sky
Sorry that we couldn't find the time to cry
When you put your head into the flower web
When you put your head into the flower web
When you put your head into the flower web
When you put your head into the flower web

Yeah, come on, dream
If you're lonely look into yourself
And find the time to do what's passed
Picture in the hole behind the canvases
Scenes of like you've never witnessed

Step out of your private circle
The gazing eyes will feel so cold
When blackness covers all you want to know
Face's turning in upon itself
Climbing up and falling down from above
It's you I want to give my love

From colours bending we will see
Reflected past come back to me
Tell me if you have to be
Your faces turning in upon themselves
Climbing up and falling down from above
it's you I want to give my love

Ow, I see you
If you're lonely look into yourself
And find the time, the fear is passed
Picture in the hole behind the canvases
Scenes of like you've never witnessed
Climbing up and falling down from above
It's you I want to give my love
It's you I want to give my love

Yeah
My love (x10)

Yeah...
Come down with me
I got a time machine
Held between my fingers

Know now your head is low
So hear me as the smoke still lingers
Restless lights creeping in
Your body splits in two again

It's easy when you're finding that
Stars don't sparkle where you're at
Tomorrow comes too late held back
It's a revelation revolution

Residing in a land that's either far away
Or near to my eyes
Life is like a deal with someone
Telling fibs that fall from blue skies

Back into the darkest cell
Light will come soon, you can't tell
Light is fading fast this time
It's a revelation revolution

Come down with and see this time machine
Held between my fingers
Confused and unused
Landing heavy as the smoke still lingers
Anxious sounds creeping in
Your soul splits in two again

It's easy when you're finding that
Stars don't sparkle where you're at
Tomorrow comes too late held back
It's a revelation revolution
It's a revelation revolution
It's a revelation revolution
Yeah, yeah
Revelation revolution

Walking down a different kind of plain
Are you really in this
Not at all
Said I'd never go
Why don't you close your eyes now
The yellow moon could never reach the corner
A looking glass cracked

Stumble past the doors that lead beyond
Beyond the mirror
Behind my back now you will disappear

Do you feel
Can you reach my hand
Or do you just believe there's
Nothing more to ask
But always wanted to turn your mind off

Stumble past the doors that lead beyond
Beyond the mirror
Never really going anywhere but here
Behind my back now you will disappear
Yep...

Walking down a different kind of plain
Are you really in this
Not at all
Said I'd never go
Why don't you close your eyes now
The yellow moon could never reach the corner
A looking glass cracked

Stumble past the doors that lead beyond
Beyond the mirror
Never really going anywhere but here
The yellow moon is rising, it's getting clear
Behind my back now you will disappear
Yep....

It's a one-way ride to the end of the universe
Please leave your mind at the back of the plane
Golden dreams that you can't imagine
Never awaits you inside your brain chill today
Ten million miles behind you will find
Orange circles of a southern sunrise
Reflected through a blackened haze
Clocks are stopping behind the clouds
Appearing only to your gaze

Timeless echoes of green
With shifting seas in silhouette
Sudden flash of the brightest sun
And it hasn't even happened yet

It's a one-way ride to the end of the universe
Please say goodbye to the back of the plane
There'll be screams like you can't imagine
Never awaits you inside your brain chill today
Ten million miles behind you will find

Run around your sun god
And I'll paint you all in time
Catch baby dinosaurs and see how well they ride
There are wonders you have seen


With your lover and yourself
Greeted by obscenities like a working chosen elf

It's a one-way ride to the end of the universe
Please say goodbye to the back of the plane
Golden dreams that you can't imagine
Never awaits you inside your brain chill today
Ten million miles behind
You will find
Orange circles of a southern sunrise
Reflecting through a blackened haze
Clocks are stopping behind the clouds
Appearing only to your gaze
Timeless echoes of green
With shifting seas in silhouette
Sudden flash of the brightest sun
And it hasn't even started yet

It's a one-way ride to the end of the universe
Please say goodbye to the back of the plane
There'll be screams like you can't imagine
Never awaits you in side your brain chill today
Ten million miles behind
You will find
What you will find
