1. _ Pretty Noose
Written by chris cornell
I caught the moon today
Pick it up
And throw it away all right
I got the perfect steal
A cleaner love
With a dirty feel all right
Fallout and take the bait
Eat the fruit
And kiss the snake goodnight
Common ruse dirty face
Pretty noose is pretty hate
And i don't like
What you got me hanging from
Let your motor race
Pick it up
And get this mother gone
Out from and far away
The wooden snake
This thing has got me on
Diamond rope silver chain
Pretty noose is a pretty pain
And i don't like
What you got me hanging from
I don't care what you got
I don't care what you need
I don't want anything
And i don't like what
You got me hanging from

2. _ Fell On Black Days
Whatsoever i've feared has come to life
Whatsoever i've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now i'm doing time
Cause i fell on black days
Whomsoever i've cured i've sickened now
Whomsoever i've cradled i've put you down
I'm a search light soul they say
But i can't see it in the night
I'm only faking when i get it right
Cause i fell on black days
How would i know
That this could be my fate
So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine
So don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No, not tying
No, not tying
I sure don't mind a change
But i fell on black days
How would i know
That this could be my fate

3. _ Loud Love
Written by chris cornell
There's no time to keep it low
I've been deaf now i want noise
You stay down
But i wont be quiet
I'll hammer on until you fight
Loud love
Loud love
Loud love
Loud love
If you've got some time to kill
Slow resistance wins the war
Well i know
But that's no way to go
You can't resist the louder pull
Well that's right
I want something to explode
I've been deaf
Now i want noise

4. _ Flower
Lyrics by chris cornell
Music by kim thayil
All of seventeen
Eyes a purple green
Treated like a queen, she was
On borrowed self esteem
She would do a dance
A painful masquerade
Spinning you into her web
Along her vain parade
In her uniform
Studded brass and steel
Kissing lipstick, napkin stains
And smearing sincerity
Along her vain parade
Along her veins
Time crept up on her
She's early gray
Her reflection looks concerned
As flowers hit her grave

5. _ Spoonman
Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
Speak the rhythm all alone, spoonman
Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, i'm together with your plan
Save me
All my friends are indians
All my friends are brown and red, spoonman
All my friends are skeletons
They beat the rhythm with their bones,
Spoonman
Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, spoonman
Thank you, good night people

6. _ Ty Cobb
Lyrics by chris cornell
Music by ben shepherd
I'm sittin' in a magic hat
With smoke and mirrors
And tire rubber fires
Watch me disappear
What made it slow you down
Sucking on a ball and chain
Another motherfucker goes down the drain
Hard headed fuck you all
Just add it up to the hot rod death toll
Sick in the head sick in the mouth
And i can't hear a word you say
Not a bit, and i don't give a shit
I got the glass, i got the steel
I got the love to hate
All i need is your head on a stake
Hard headed fuck you all
Just add it on the hot rod death toll

7. _ Rusty Cage
Written by chris cornell
You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin t boil
But i'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
Too cold to start a fire
I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
I'll take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
Hits like a phillips head
Into my brain
It's gonna be too dark
To sleep again
Cutting my teeth on bars
And rusty chains, i'm gonna break my
Rusty cage and run
When the forest burns
Along the road
Like god's eyes
In my headlights
When the dogs are looking
For their bones
And it's raining icepicks
On your steel shore
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

8. _ Outshined
written by chris cornell
I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now
I just looked in the mirror
Things aren't looking so good
I'm looking california
And feeling minnesota
So now you know, who gets mystified
Show me the power child
I'd like to say
That i'm down on my knees today
It gives me butterflies
Gives me away
Till i'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling outshined
Someone let the dogs out
They'll show where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shitting
I'm feeling that i |
9. _ Hands All Over
Words by chris cornell
Music by kim thayil
Hands all over the eastern border
You know what? i think we're falling
From composure
Hands all over western culture
Ruffling feathers and turning eagles into vultures
Got my arms around baby brother
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother, kill your mother
And i love her
Hands all over the coastal waters
The crew men thank her
Then lay down their oily blanket
Hands all over the inland forest
In a striking motion trees fall down
Like dying soldiers
Hands all over the peasants daughter
She's our bride
She'll never make it out alive
Hands all over words i utter
Change them into what you want to
Like balls of clay
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother
And i love her

10. _ Bleed Together
Written by chris cornell
I know you're half awake yeah i know hate
And i know how you do it
Hold it don't it out
Don't get it right or wrong no i don't get it
I know you're afraid half amazed
All insane i know it's all a cage
And all arrange and altogether gone
Cause you and me we're average
With simple minds and lungs and eyes and skin
You and me we're hopeless with nowhere hearts
So tear it out and open it
I'm giving blood tonight don't care how don't care why
I'm giving blood tonight and i feel just like
I could give it all
Show me and hand me down and hang me up alone
And cold and bury me
Show me and throw me out and hold me down
And air me out and wear me
I know you're half afraid half amazed all insane
I know it's all a cage and all a rage
And altogether gone
Come away and come with me and come around and come and see
And cover up and come along before race before the calm
And he walks out and fires the gun happy with the things he won
The head of god on the wall ahead of us the heads of us

11. _ Black Hole Sun
In my eyes, indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
'neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And i'll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Stuttering, cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes
In my shoes, a walking sleep
And my youth i pray to keep
Heaven send hell away
No one sings like you anymore
Hang my head, drown my fear
Till you all just disappear

12. _ Nothing To Say
Lyrics by chris cornell
Music by kim thayil
Someone says my words are out of balance
Nothing to say
Dying words i bury everyday
Nothing to say
You've got nothing to say, nothing to say
Bog bad words spell it with four letters
Nothing to say
Oh my god, your words are out of balance
Nothing to say
Nothing but one thing
You've got nothing, nothing to say

13. _ Jesus Christ Pose
Music by cameron, shepherd, thayil and cornell
Lyrics by chris cornell
And you stare at me
In your jesus christ pose
Arms held out
Like you've been carrying a load
And you swear to me
You don't want to be my slave
But you're staring at me
Like i need to be saved
In your jesus christ pose
Arms held out
In your jesus christ pose
Thorns and shroud
Like it's the coming of the lord
And i swear to you
That i would never feed you pain
But your staring at me
Like i'm driving the nails
In your jesus christ pose
And you stare at me
In your jesus christ pose
Arms held out like it's
The coming of the lord
And would it pay you more to walk on water
Then to wear a crown of thorns
It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich
Then to bury you poor
In your jesus christ pose

15. _ Get On The Snake
Lyrics by chris cornell
Music by kim thayil
Get on the snake
With a swarm of motor flys
Get on the snake
Under the cola colored sky
Don't worry, everything's clean
Road worthy, hungry and mean
Get on the snake
Where the metal river bleeds
Get on the snake
Where you never will believe
Hey baby, what's your disease
My hearts bleeding
I'm dying to leave
Get on the snake
Where the water turns to steam
Get on the snake
With a suicide machine
Don't worry, everything's clean
Road worthy, hungry and mean
Hungry and mean...
Hungry and mean...

16. _ Blow Up The Outside World
Written by chris cornell
Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard i try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard i fall nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible i know
I've givin' everything i need
I'd give you everything i own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything i could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside world
Someone tried to tell me something
Don't let the world get you down
Nothing will do me in before i do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help
Want to make it understood
Wanting though i never would
Trying though i know it's wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though i never could
Blow up the outside world

17. _ The Day I Tried To Live
I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads
The day i tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
The day i tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day i tried to live
Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead
The day i tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed
The day i tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs
And i learned that i was a liar
Just like you
