SOUL ASYLUM – Time Will Tell

Sometimes in the morning
Like some kinda Cinderella story
Some kinda foreign movie
Where they just say
If you really wanna hurt me
You’re gonna have to hold on
You know you really shoulda told me
It ain’t like you been told on

Cuz only time will tell
Tell you what you wanna hear
Time will tell
Whispering right in your ear

[?] in a bottle
You believe anything you wanna
Really wanna believe
Whatever they told ya
You would just believe me
How many times I got to tell ya

Only time will tell
Tell you what you wanna hear
Time will tell
Whispering right in your ear

Take comfort in a good thing, hey
Take comfort in me
If you could have anything that you wanna
Could it be the best times I spent with you

If you really wanna push me
You’re gonna have to hold on
If you really wanna see me
Like I wanna show ya

Only time will tell
Tell you what you wanna hear
Time will tell
Whispering right in your ear
Time will tell
Tell ya what ya wanna hear
Time will tell you, tell you what you wanna hear
Only time will tell

SOUL ASYLUM – The Sun Maid

Tell me how you get that shine
You must polish all the time
Though I know your job is thankless
They will thank you up in heaven

Oh the Sun Maid
Looking for the shade

Though they say she’s not too bright
She takes care of all the light
Without you it’s cold and stark
We would all be in the dark

Without the Sun Maid
She never gets paid
Searching for the shade
Oh the Sun Maid

You are so taken for granted
With each and every seed that’s planted
And the earth is so demanding
All the young girls are out tanning
The Sun Maid
She’s such an old maid
She never gets laid
Oh the Sun Maid

Now you’re tired, your day is over
Now the moon is one day older

SOUL ASYLUM – The Juice

It was the day after vacation
Heading back to school
Roll over say goodbye
And whisper I love you

It floated up around the room and drifted towards the door
Then the phone rang, the mailman came
Left me wanting more

Sometimes it just hangs in the air
Like a crime without a clue
But just like that you got me back
And you said I love you too

I got my I love you too
I got my I love you too
I’m gonna squeeze it right out of you
That’s when I know I got the juice

We both stared at the ceiling
There’s always work to do
With all these mixed up feelings
Floating around the room

Like a lost echo hanging in the hills
Trying to find it’s way back home
Closer and closer
Like a skippin’ stone

I got my I love you too
I got my I love you too
Well, it’s all I ever wanted from you
That’s when I know I got the juice

Later on that evening
Around the time I get so tense
The rooms seem like cages
The walls seem like a fence

I got my I love you too
Yes I got my I love you too
And the whole wide world is waiting for you
For you to say I love you too

SOUL ASYLUM – Take Manhattan

Well she started out working for an Illinois assembly line
Not really what she wanted
Just dealing with the feeling when you’re feeling like you wish it was fine
You just don’t talk about it
And along came an offer from the city of steel
They were stranded at the airport she could barely believe he was real
So she said

Make it happen take me to Manhattan
If you like LA that’s cool
Or you could slip me right on down the Mississippi
I’d go anywhere with you

Well, they met up on the river in the middle of the summertime
He was from out on the coast
And ever since he said he’d never stop until they got it right
It’s what they wanted the most
He had been everywhere and she’d been alone
They were just looking for a place to call home

So he said
How about Manhattan we can make it happen
I’ll do California too
I know it’s iffy but how about the Mississippi
I’d go anywhere with you

Any old town will do
I could die in the flyover zone with you

Then they started their first argument
And the fighting never stopped
It’s just the same old story
All the boys and girls who never figure one another out
Then all the tears started pouring
Then the map came off the wall
She started marking it with a red pen

Then she said
Well, take Manhattan where anything can happen
You take California too
Forever after with or without laughter
We got better things to do
Take Manhattan where anything can happen
You take California too
Take the planet you can fucking have it
Look out cause she’s coming for you

SOUL ASYLUM – Take It To The Root

Hey what’re you doing comin’ around my place
I’ve been cryin’, tears are down my face
Do this, do that, it’s always push, push, push
But I sure grow tired of beating ’round the bush

Take it to the root

Hey what’re you saying, calling out my name
I ain’t got no shame, better find someone else to blame
Talking ’round in circles, take it to the point
?? someone else to give support

Take it to the root

I can’t take it, always in my face
Hey, don’t I know you? I’ve seen you someplace
Back before you know it, back for more abuse
Back to where I started from, home and on the loose

Take it to the root

Take it to the root one time
Take it to the root two times
Take it to the root three times
Take it to the root four times

SOUL ASYLUM – Spacehead

AAA So you think I got a problem
You think its all to clear
Got f*cking mental of disorder
Wheres the f*cking order around here?
I’m a spacehead I’m not a stupid head
I am a space head just open minded
Spacehead [x2]
Why when I cry do I hang my head down low?
How do you move so fast but think so slow?
??
I hang my head the way I let it flow
I’m a spacehead I’m not a stupid head
I am a space head just open my head
Dancin in the ?light? and the teacher says I’m a space head
Smokin in the church and the preacher says I’m a space head
The books are burning fast [x2]
I bet you know just what I’m saying
Maybe I am saying something else
The next decision that you make is probably gonna be a big mistake
I’m a space head. Can I open up your head?
I’m a space head
I’m just open minded
Space head [x9 to a fade]

SOUL ASYLUM – Ramblin’ Rose

Love is like a ramblin’ rose

The more you think, the more it grows

Ramblin’ rose, ramblin’ rose

You try hard

Love is like a ranblin’ rose

Cant think, but you can’t let go

That thing for the more you know

You try hard

Try fuckin’ hard

Love is like a ranblin’ rose
Cant think, but you can’t let go

Ramblin’ rose
Ramblin’ rose

SOUL ASYLUM – Lone Rider

Peeping Tom creepin’ through the mornin’ moonlight (ohh, ohh, ohh)
Like a crazy coyote in the middle of the night (ohh, ohh, ohh)
You keep taggin’ along ’til it does you wrong
Sometimes it takes so long for you to say so long

Not for the lone rider
Lone rider

Woah
Huh
Ya

Black cloud troll wherever he goes (ohh, ohh, ohh)
He breaks out in a cold sweat when you get too close
Your suitcase is home long may you roam lone rider
Ohh, baby’s cryin’ please come home lone rider

The reflections in the water but the water’s a mirage
It’s like a dream machine that never leaves the garage
Your boots start walkin’, as the story goes
People start talkin’ and he wrestlessness gows

They say he hates people, say he’s a queer
Never listens but always hears
Off into the sunset he disappears
Surely the last time to come around here, oh no

Ride on
Ride on
Ride on

SOUL ASYLUM – Let’s All Kill Each Other

(Let’s all kill each other)

I’ve been reading everything, the papers and the magazines, believin’ every word I read
Way too many mouths to feed, but we can all agree believing everybody’s better off dead
If you’re lookin’ for some inspiration, blast off through the generation

Let’s all kill each other
Kill your sisters and kill your brothers
Take the fun out of one another
Let’s all kill each other

I’m not having any fun, I’m sick and tired of everyone, I wonder what’s the right thing to do
Knives and guns for everyone, now everyone protects someone, at least that’s what I learned from you
Just can’t trust anyone else, gonna have to do it ourselves

Let’s all kill each other
Kill your fathers and kill your mothers
Take the life of one another
Let’s all kill each other

Let’s all kill each other
Kill your sisters and kill your brothers
Take the fun out of one another
Let’s all kill each other

Maybe we could talk it out
Maybe I could shut you down
Everything’s so complicated
I can’t believe how long we’ve waited
I can try to figure it out
I know what to do about it
I know what to do about it

Let’s all kill each other

If you’re looking for a little reaction, here comes your coming attraction

Let’s all kill each other
Kill your sisters and kill your brothers
Take the fun out of one another
Let’s all kill each other

Let’s all kill each other
Kill your fathers and kill your mothers
Take the life of one another
Let’s all kill each other

SOUL ASYLUM – Jack Of All Trades

If I could be anything I wanted, I don’t know
I’d be stuck here with myself, be an Average Joe
But if I could be like a Jack of all trades, yes I’d have it made

Glass blower, flamethrower, grass mower, firefighter
I’m tryin’ to loose it up, or make it tighter

But a Jack of all trades master, I’m not dead, you’re tired in bed
But a Jack of all trades, there’s stuff that gets made, wait for your lucky day

See my train and now it’s gone
Rings the damned, threw the phone
He’s studdering, he stalls
He hit the bottle of call
Ching chase and rat race, and laid down and out of place, and down the hall

Problem called (na, na)
Problem called (na, na, na)

Yes I’ll try anything sometimes I just can’t say no
And I’m learnin’ to dig with my hands
I’ve learned to work with my mind
So much to lose, and so much left to find
So much to take, so much to leave behind

Yeah, I walked down, your thoughts are free, don’t think of the dead but think of dignity
Picked you up by the side of your head, you were half dead
Say your prayers, and put you to to bed

At the end of the day stands a Jack of all trades, and the fool he has made
It’s a Jack of all trades and the fool he has made of himself and his friend

But he’d do it again, yes he’d do it again
He’s a Jack

SOUL ASYLUM – I Should’ve Stayed In Bed

I’m gonna stay in bed all day
I’m gonna stay in bed all day
And this could be my lucky day
Or it could turn to black
I might get lucky anyway
I might never come back

And it’s too late for a wake up call
Too late for a wake up call

I’m gonna put it off today
I’m gonna put you off
Nothing I got to do today except for blow you off
My dreams are all just throwaways
My superstitions lack
I’m just unlucky anyway
All of my cats are black

Don’t let the sun pass you by
Don’t let it fall from the sky
Don’t let the sunshine pass you by
Don’t let the tear fall from your eye
I could have stayed in bed all day
I could have stayed in bed all day
Nothing I got to do today
I might just rise and shine

Don’t let the sun pass you by
Don’t let it fall from the sky
Don’t let the sunshine pass you by
Don’t let the tear fall from your eye
Its there each time I turn around I look away and you’ll be gone
I could have done so many things
I could have stayed
I could have stayed

I should have stayed in bed all day
I should have stayed in bed all day

SOUL ASYLUM – Into The Light

Once you’ve drawn the line, you can’t think twice
You would never take your own advice
Skating on a grave that’s paved with ice
You step into the light
How can I be sure if this is a sure thing
I’m so tangled up in puppeteers’ strings
Once you’ve crossed the line
You’re stepping into

Breaking horses, raising cain, heading for the hills
The best day ever just got better, it gets better still

Once you’ve crossed the line you can’t let go
Never go out, I have been alone
Skating on a grave that’s made of stone
You step into the light

You better be sure that this is a sure thing
As a puppet on a string
Once you’ve crossed the line
You’re stepping into

Breaking horses, raising cain, heading for the hills
The best day ever just got better, it gets better still

Once you’ve crossed the line, you can’t think twice
You’re looking out of

Chasing sirens, red lights change
No time left to kill
Waving flags of fine drawn lines
Find a cheaper thrill

This is a sure thing
Once you’ve crossed the line
You step into the light
You step into the light

Breaking horses, raising cain heading for the hills
The best day ever just got better, it gets better still

Waving flags of macho life (much of your life)
Find a cheaper plan

SOUL ASYLUM – Grounded

When aid turned sideways
And It’d head on down the highway
Say this is my way, disappearing forever
But there ain’t just one way
So you choose the fun way
Slide down the runway
On a ticket that goes two ways
And by the way that it sounded
You thought that you’d be astounded
But you left it like you found it
Cause it wasn’t yours to take
What once seemed like dying
Soon turned into flying
So you settle for trying
And you wish you were grounded
No you cannot get much higher
Than your utmost desire
So you bring it down to size and
Now it seems that you are grounded
By the way that it sounded
You thought that you’d be astounded
But you left it like you found it
Now you find that you are grounded

SOUL ASYLUM – Good Morning Good Morning

[Goat bleats]

Good morning good morning
Good morning good morning
Good morning

Nothing to do to save his life
Call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a day
How’s your boy been?

Nothing to do, it’s up to you
I’ve got noting to say but it’s okay

Good morning good morning
Good morning

Going to work don’t want to go
Feeling low down
Heading for home you start to roam
Then you’re in town

Everybody knows there’s nothing doing
Everything is closed, it’s like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep
And you’re on your own, you’re in the street

After a while you start to smile
Now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk
By the old school

Nothing has changed it’s still the same
I’ve got nothing to say but it’s okay

Good morning good morning
Good morning

People running ’round it’s five o’clock
Everywhere in town it’s getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It’s time for tea and meet the wife

Somebody needs to know the time
Glad that I’m here
Watching the skirts you start to flirt
Now you’re in gear

Go to a show you hope she goes
I’ve got nothing to say but it’s okay

Good morning good morning
Good morning good morning

Good morning good morning
Good morning

[Goat bleats]

SOUL ASYLUM – Goin’ Down

Floatin’ down the river
With a saturated liver
And I thought I would forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets ’round
Goin’ down
I’m Goin’ down

Coming’ up for air
It’s pretty stuffy under there
I’d like to say I didn’t care
But I forgot to leave a note
And it’s so hard to stay afloat
I’m soakin’ wet without a boat
And I knew I should have taken off my shoes
It’s front page news
Goin’ down
I’m goin’ down

I wish I had another drink
It wouldn’t be so hard to sink
I should have taken time to think
Besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date
I didn’t need this extra weight
I wish that I could see the way to shore
Don’t want no more
Goin’ down
I’m goin’ down

And now I see the life I led
I slept it all away in bed
I should have learned to swim instead
And now it’s really got me stumped
I can’t believe why I jumped
I’d like to get my tummy pumped
I can’t believe they drink this stuff in town
This dirty brown
Goin’ down
I’m goin’ down

I wish I looked before I leaped
I didn’t know it was so deep
Been down so far I don’t get wet
Haven’t touched the bottom yet
This river scene is gettin’ old
I’m hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She told me to forget it nice
I should have taken her advice
I only want to go back home
I’d gladly leave that girl alone
What a way to spend the night
If I don’t drown, I’ll die of fright
My pappy taught me how to float
But I can’t swim a single note
He threw me in to teach me how
I stayed there floatin’ like a mama cow
And now I’ve floated way down stream
I know this has to be a dream
If I could find my way to shore
I’d never, never do this anymore
I’ll give you three, I’ve been down nine
I’m goin’ down just one more time.
Goin’ down.
I’m goin’ down.

Now the sky is gettin’ light
And everything will be alright
Think I finally got the knack
Just floatin’ here lazy on my back
I never really liked that town
I think I’ll ride the river down
Just movin’ slow and floatin’ free
There’s a river swingin’ under me.
Waving back to the folks on shore
I should have thought of this before
I’m floatin’ on down to New Orleans
Goin’ to pick up on some swingin’ scenes
I know I’ll know a better day
I’ll go down groovin’ all the way
Goin’ down
Goin’ down

SOUL ASYLUM – Down On Up To Me

He’s a stranger to authority, welcome to the minority.
It’s not someplace you have to go, it’s not something you have to know.
Don’t do this, don’t touch that. Hey, draw the line
I’ll speak my mind, maybe I’ll wait for another time.
Sometimes you get close to those who wait,
Sometimes it makes you hesitate.
Some folks find more humanity, some folks find more than sanity.
Don’t do this, don’t do that, don’t try this, don’t do that,
Don’t try this, don’t touch that. Hey, do it for the last time.
By the weight of the world coming down, down on, down on up to me.
Down on up to me, wait for another time.
When you look down on me, I get so uppity,
Starting my own army, just me and my friends, said you better get ready. Hahaha.
Coming down, down on, down on up to me, down on up to me.
Coming down, down on, down on up to me, down on up to
Though it might just come down to trust,
It sometimes just comes down to lust, that’s just one person’s point of view.

SOUL ASYLUM – Cruel Intentions

Cruel intentions, harbored for thee
Too few to mention, but not too hard to see
Crude inventions and mysterious schemes
I need prevention now
Do you see that it’s true
All you care about is you
Baby thats cruel
So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

Sweet pretentions, so cute and in style
Sales potential, yes I’d walk a mile
Unholy places and so much to see
I need a replacement now
Do you see that it’s true
Your whole world spins around you
Baby thats cruel
So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

Cruel intentions, harbored for thee
Too few to mention, but do you see that it’s true
Your whole world spins around you
Baby thats cruel
So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

So save your cruel intentions for somebody other than me

SOUL ASYLUM – Can’t Go Back

The aim of my time is to fill up my mind
And when it gets too full I forget
Now if I’m late and I’m making you wait
Then there ain’t one thing around that’s even funny

Seein’ things clearly and I thank you so dearly
Everything’s so true to life when you’re not living
When it’s all a drag that’s when you give it all the way
put it all in bags, just call it charity

You just can’t go back
You just can’t go back
Everybody’s going their own way
Each one is gonna make his day
It’s more than amusement now
You’re just killing time

(Just killing time) You just can’t go back
(Just killing time) You just can’t go back
(Just killing time) You just can’t go back

Fifteen years later caught in time’s incinerator
Yesterday’s worries are today’s
But the good times are so near just sitting back and drinking beer
You know I’m halfway down the road but I know that I still ain’t there

Seeing things clearly I thank you so dearly
Everything’s so true to life when you’re not living
When it’s all a drag that’s when you give it all the way
put it all in bags, just call it charity

You just can’t go back
(Just killing time) You just can’t go back
Everybody’s going their own way
Each one is gonna make his day
It’s more than amusement now
You’re just killing time

SOUL ASYLUM – By The Way

If I could remember what makes me feel good
I’d pound it down like a nail in wood
I’d never let go of that feeling again I know

I know that I felt this way before
I’d pound it down like a cellar door
I want you to know I’m behind you, by the way

By the way that you look when I confront you
By the way that I affect the things you do
By the way did I tell you I can’t leave you, by the way

I’ll be waiting for you on judgment day
To watch all these judgments pass away
And by the way the details fall, by the way

By the way all the people that care about you
Are all watching to see what your gonna do
By the way have I told you I can’t leave you, by the way

By the way that you built me up again
Back to a time when I was intense
And now I know you play for what you pay

By the way that you make me feel all right
By the way that you put up such a fight
By the way that my trust and faith is safe with you

SOUL ASYLUM – Broken Glass

Long distance information, ring me 608
Laughing at the other end
get me my prescription, come and walk my dog
please get me anything

You can’t seal fate with a kick
You should know it doesn’t work that way
As for your lofty aspirations
You couldn’t give them all away (throw away)

Those precious things that just don’t last (throw away)
Everybody’s been cut like broken glass

Long distance information sounds like broken glass

Just how long is all of this really gonna last
Get someone I used to know
In another place of time
Please please me

You’ve been places I’ll never go
Begged the questions I’ll never know
You’ve had so many arms around you
This time you’ve hit an all-time low

So many things just don’t last
So many things like broken glass
