Miles of Cock - Lyrics
Broken Glass (Johnston/Brooks/Burow/Hoke)
Can’t stop thinkin’
Stop your bitchin’
We all lie in the beds we make
Road uncovered
Got to resdiscover
The inner mounting flame
Headlights flashin’
Brakes ain’t workin’
It’s the only way to drive!
Can’t stop talkin’
Gotta keep walkin’
Hope that you enjoyed the ride!
Chorus:
Got a strange feelin’
You ain’t dealin’
Get off your ass and on to your feet!
You’re so faded
You’re life is so jaded
Just like so much broken glass!
All chewed up
Got nothin’ left
How are you gonna live the day?
It ain’t easy
When you got the same shit
We gotta live with the choices we make
All tied up
Got bad luck
We gotta live before we’re dead
Can’t stop talkin’
Gotta keep walkin’
Hope that you enjoyed the ride!
Chorus
Solo (Pat)
Solo (Brian)
Chorus
Can’t stop thinkin’
Stop your bitchin’
We all lie in the beds we make
Road uncovered
Got to resdiscover
The inner mounting flame
Headlights flashin’
Brakes ain’t workin’
It’s the only way to drive!
Can’t stop talkin’
Gotta keep walkin’
Hope that you enjoyed the ride!
Chorus
It is what it is, there ain’t no difference
You are who you are—and that’s alright!
When you see the future that it always was
Turn right around and do it some more!
Chorus:
Shine on, Superstar, shine on!
Takin’ another ride
Shine on, Superstar, shine on!
Reachin’ for the sky
Shine on, Superstar, shine on!
Takin’ another ride
Shine on, Superstar, Shine on!
Racin’ through the night!
Your dark eyes are windows to the other side
But your lips can’t tell the secrets that they hide!
The veil drops when the words begin to form
Feels like—like I’ve been here before!
Chorus
Solo (Brian)
Hard lesson burnin’—still ain’t learnin’
Step by step back to the front
When you see the future that it always was
Turn right around and do it again!
Chorus
Outro
I’m just tryin’ to find my way back home…
Can anybody take me back home?
Open my eyes—crawl inside
Don’t let me—run or hide away
I was spinnin’—out of control
But somehow I’m always—heading in the right way
Chorus:
Rescue me…
Rescue me…
Rescue me…
I was deceived—by a devil in disguise
Dark days gone—sun’s come out to play
Can’t live in the past—future’s too far
All I’ve got left—is to live today
Chorus
Solo (Pat)
You taught me—life after death
And for that I must—thank you very much
Can’t live in the past—future’s too far
All I’ve got left—is to live today
Chorus
Solo (Brian)
When it’s gone, it’s gone—no way back
There’s no going back into the past
You say you want it, well, I ain’t got it
So don’t count your chickens before they hatch!
Chorus:
Go ahead, take my heart—for just a while now
Go ahead, take my heart—don’t be afraid
Go ahead, take my heart—for just a while now
Go ahead, take my heart—don’t be afraid
Didn’t mean to do what I did
I never wanted to take it quite this far!
Could’ve been anyone
But there wasn’t anyone else around!
Chorus
Solo (Brian)
Chorus
Rock-a-bye baby in the treetops
When the wind blows, this cradle’s gonna fall!
Don’t get too comfortable in those shoes
‘Cuz I’ll be gone before the week is through!!!
Chorus
Dangerous Tonite (Brooks/Burow/Johnston)
Lookout! Lookout! Here it comes!
If you don’t give it up ya’ better run!
Your worst nightmare about to be true
Hell’s fire gonna gonna rain on you.
Faster! Faster! Getting’ hard to breathe
Another couple miles and you just might get free!
Heaven’s hammer just ain’t around
It’ll have it’s claws in you before the dawn
Chorus:
Gotta do it right it’s gettin’ dangerous tonite!
Gotta do it right it’s gettin’ dangerous tonite!
Don’t sit! Don’t quit! The end is just ahead!
Gotta clean your house quick before your dead!
The final door is about to be closed
Gotta keep an arms length from the darkness that you hold.
Get up! Get out! Heads are gonna roll!
The shit’s gettin’ deep ‘cuz we’re outta control!
Hurry! Hurry! No time to explain!
Flames are gettin’ higher every day!
Chorus:
Gotta do it right it’s gettin’ dangerous tonite!
Gotta do it right it’s gettin’ dangerous tonite!
Gotta do it right! Gotta do it right!
Gotta do it right! Gotta do it right!
Solo (Brian)
Lookout! Lookout! Here it comes!
If you don’t give it up ya’ better run!
Your worst nightmare about to be true
Hell’s fire gonna gonna rain on you.
Faster! Faster! Getting’ hard to breathe
Another couple miles and you just might get
free!
Heaven’s hammer just ain’t around
It’ll have it’s claws in you before the dawn
Chorus
Government (Burow/Elias/Johnston)
What are we doin’?
We are polluting!!!
Do you think it’s funny?
No, we’re makin’ all the money!
The skies are turning black
But it’s knowledge that we lack!
I’m looking up—it’s like the eagle never flew
I dare not think what I think you do…
Chorus:
You see it your way
I’m gonna see it mine
The only problem is…
We’re runnin’ outta…
TIME
We are runnin’ outta time!
Our money’s running out
Yet you ask for more
And you give to the rich
What you steal from the poor
You want to hold me back
While criminals run free
Oh, why is it so hard for you
To simply let me be?
I dare not think what I think you do…
Chorus:
You tell it your way
Well, I’m gonna say it mine, yeah!
Our only problem is…
We keep on wasting precious, precious…
TIME
We are wasting precious time!
You want to lead, well,
Don’t expect me to follow
How can I trust you
When your words ring out hollow?
Making promises
I can’t believe
You can’t practice what you preach
When you practice to deceive.
Chorus:
You force it your way
I’m gonna stand by mine!
When you call my name,
I’m not gonna fall in…
LINE
I’m not gonna fall in line!
I get tired of breathing
Up the pollution
Oh, you’re the problem if you’re
Not the solution
Brother killing brother
And children selling crack
Oh, this government’s for the people
Now it’s time to take it back!
Bass Solo (Brett)
Chorus:
You see it your way
I’m gonna see it mine, yeah!
Our only problem is,
We keep on runnin’…
Runnin’ out of…
TIME
We are runnin’ out of time!
Solo (Brian)
Chorus:
You force it your way
I’m gonna stand by mine
Our only problem is
We keep on wasting precious, precious…
TIME
We are wasting precious time!
Sweet, sweet precious time…we ain’t…
We ain’t got no more time…can somebody…
Can somebody just give us a little more time?
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Take a look around now—what do you think you see?
What’s it gonna take to make you notice the insanity?
Take a good look now—what do you find?
(Hidden away)
Do you have the nerve to walk that lonely, lonely line now?
Chorus:
Take me back to the deep still water
Quiet the voices in my head
Give me the patience to bide my time
Rest my worries on the riverbed
I’ve been accused of showing vanity
But things aren’t always what they appear to be
Sometimes heaven’s watchin’ over me
(I can feel it inside)
Sometimes the devil catches up with me…
…me and my foolish pride!
Chorus
Solo (Brian)
Chorus
You’ve gotta push away just for the
moment’s sake
Step back—take a look—tell me, baby just what
you think!
Time to notice what time means to me
(What does it mean to you?)
Time to contemplate what it means to
be free!
Chorus
Outro
Solo (Brian)
Reflected in the Mirror (Johnston)
Look in the mirror…
Tell me who you see?
Are they your best friend?
Or your worst enemy?
They say the truth it hurts sometimes
I’m sad to say it’s true
Like Jeckyll & Hyde
You cannot hide
‘Cuz they’re both a part of you!
Chorus:
I like to keep my friends real close
I keep my enemies nearer
A lot easier than it sounds
They’re reflected in the mirror.
I like to keep my friends real close
I keep my enemies nearer
A lot easier than it sounds
They’re reflected in the mirror.
Can’t quite explain it
I’m different but the same
Captive to all women
To this fortune and this fame!
Never thought I’d see the day
When one turns into two.
A devil inside I must abide
And do what it wants me to!
Chorus
Solo (Brian)
It’s a sticky situation
Being both me and me.
It’s a love/hate relation
It’s discord and harmony
Hope to God I’ll never change
But if I ever do
Hope to find I keep my mind
And keep my attitude, too!
Chorus
