1. _ Johnny Yen
Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See the jeaned genie on his high-wire act
At the back of his mind lies a suicide pact
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See the young men itching to burn
Waiting for their own star turn
Needing danger, a war would do
If they can't let it out, they'll pick on you
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See houdini and his underwater tricks
You were sitting at the front, hoping his locks would stick
Watch knievel hit the 17th bus
You got crushed in the souvenir rush
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
I said poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See the young men itching to burn
Waiting for their own star turn
Needing danger, a war would do
If they can't let it out, they'll pick on you
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy
Come on, somebody, finish him off please
Put the poor fool out of his misery, will you
Can't you see he's had enough?
Finish him off, somebody
Next!

2. _ Why So Close
Why so close
Big boys in black hats
Cowboys with white guns
White guns shoot blue white
Blue white baptism
No buffaloes
No indians
No more buffaloes
Red sky is falling
Blue blood no stalling
White heat will strip you
No time to run far
(refrain 1)
Ivan's built a wall of lead 'round his house
Nobody can get in or out
Running out of food for ammunition
Frightened of the darkness
Sending out scouts
Why hang the fire so close
Why hang the fire so close
Why hang the fire so close
Why so close
(refrain 2)
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Wore headphones since he was born
Watches ivan through dark glasses
Hand on his gun waiting for the storm
One false move and we all fall down
No funeral games, no such fun
Here's your ticket to the party
That's what you get for playing with a gun
Six-gun so close
(refrain 1)
Ivan's got a wall of lead 'round his house
Nobody can get in or out
Running out of food for ammunition
Frightened of the darkness
Sending out scouts
(refrain 2)
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Wore headphones since he was born
Watches ivan through dark glasses
Hands on his gun waiting for the storm
Why stand the fire so close (why)
Why stand the fire so close (why)
Why stand the fire so close (why)
Why?

3. _ Ya Ho
I nearly died when you jumped in
But you had to drown before you could swim
All the people on the beach, they were so impressed
That they wanted to join you but no they wouldn't undress
Oh there, that wetness, splashed their skin
So they prayed for a whirlpool to pull you in
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
So they looked away and they tried to pretend
That it was for you, but no it wasn't for them
Now the fear of sinking remains in place
But it's this fear of failure that a real disgrace
Ya ho
Ya ho
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
To get over you wall
To get over you wall
Heads in the sand, sea out of reach
Swept away by the games of the beach
Those people sat and watched your stand
While the wait of their fears pulled them underground
Will anyone learn from the stories that are told
Of the tribe who drown in a grave of gold
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
I see your heads down
Someone's calling
Put you heads down
Someone's drowning
Look up see what's fit for your eyes
Some escaping on someone drowning
Your head is underground
Your head is underground
Your head is underground
Your head is under the ground

4. _ Burned
If you don't look cool
They won't look at you
But if you image is strong
Any song will do
They'll think that the wrapping's the gift
Is a throw away stone
All we want
Is an empty throne
I feel i've been burned
I feel i've been burned
I feel i've been burned
I feel i've been burned
But i won't let it show
I won't let it show
I won't let it show
I won't let it show
I won't let it show
My belief's are all shaken
I'm lost in grief at the state i'm in
Seen too much goodness chewed up by money men
If god exists she should make us king
I feel i've been burned
I feel i've been burned
I feel i've been burned
I feel i've been burned
What must we do to make money
Sell our dreams to some pharisee
Believe that all everyone wants is power and fame
If you won't get screwed, don't go on the game
I feel i've been burned
I feel i've been burned
I feel i've been burned
I feel i've been burned
Burned
Burned
Burned...
I've been burned
I've been burned
I've been burned...

5. _ Stutter
Tongue split
In the night
I woke up in blood
Red sheets
Wrapped tight
Dreamt i was drowning in mud
Now there's a beast in my mouth
It's out of control
Beats with will of its own
Broken my teeth withdraw my gums
I think that it's taken control
Spits out your emotion
Left a deep impression
Expression
Expression, makes me feel more expression
Life changed
That night
As rip chord took command
Spit balls
All the abuse
Were more than friends could stand
Now i don't think before i speak
I open my mouth to see
What comes out
A whisper or a shout
Some sanity or a scream
Spits out raw emotion
Looking for a deeper expression
Expression
Expression
Expression
Expression, makes me feel more... expression
That be me says it all
That be me has it all
Expression
Expression

6. _ Whoops
Oh lord i tried i have tried so damn hard to fit in
I've worn away my edges
And i'm looking mighty thin
Whoops-a-daisy don't trip that wire
Whoops-a-daisy don't touch that wire
Whoops-a-daisy
Whoops-a-daisy
Whoops
I know all your soft spots
They're the same soft spots that are in me
If you keep on scratching
They will flare up suddenly
Whoops-a-daisy don't touch that wire
Whoops-a-daisy don't touch that wire
Whoops-a-daisy
Whoops-a-daisy
Whoops
Whoops
Whoops-a-daisy
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoops
Don't touch that wire
Don't touch that wire
Don't touch that wire
Don't touch that wire
Don't touch that wire

7. _ Really Hard
To be loving when the knives are out
Takes much courage and a mind without doubt
I'm just some robot, wind up the clockwork jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of my work
And it's so hard to remain open
If it's true, it can't be spoken
Really hard
Really hard
Rhetoriticians think they're running this show
Words as power is all they'll ever know
I'm just some reflex, when struck, the knee will jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of our work
And it's so hard to remain open
If you bend, you won't get broken
Really hard
Really hard
Wake up from this dreaming state
A long scream out, it's not too late
I am dying to begin
I am dying to begin again
Really hard
Really hard

8. _ Leaking
I'm leaking down the left side
Oh god no, i hope it doesn't show
But somebody's getting a mouth full of the emperor's new clothes.
I'm leaking down the left side
No one can see my gallbladder's burst and so has my spleen.
Leg and an arm and a leg and a arm...
I'm leaking down the left side
Oh god no, i hope it doesn't show.
I'm so wound up my bowels just want to blow.
I hope you don't think i'm a jerk
Though nothing i do ever seems to work.
My timing of that joke was wrong.
You can't call that a dance or this a song.
You can't call this a song.
You can't call this a song.
You can't call this a song.
Found my way through this attack.
Hope no one sees through my act.
All those people staring at me.
Their piercing gazes make me want to scream.
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
Leg and an arm leg and an arm...
Oh, fill holy hole
Oh, fill my holy hole
Oh, fill my holes.
Oh, fill my holes.
Oh, fill my holes.
Oh, fill my holes.
Feel my holes.
Feel my holes.
I couldn't plug my holy holes.
I couldn't plug my holes.
I couldn't plug my holes.

9. _ Scarecrow
Which scarecrow has the power of voice
It will stab you in the thigh
And when she wails, it twists your insides
Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow
Which scarecrow
A pitch for which she has been searching
Holds the key to the dreams she's been dreaming
(refrain)
Coming on, coming on, coming on
She's coming on strong
She's coming on coming on coming on coming on
Coming on strong
Droll,
Try to mix her ego with her soul
Never mix the ego with the soul
I always twist my ego with my soul
Which scarecrow
Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow
And 'cause you was her inspiration
Got a plan that could shatter a nation
(refrain)
When your song strikes me
My walls fall down
And i can sit down
In your perfect light and sound

10. _ Riders
I'm in a crowded room
I've been half asleep
Says the sister in uniform
Has everybody understood?
The listeners turn and nod
But i can see their fear, do they know more than me
Do they know why they're here
I don't want that poison in
I don't want that poison in
I don't want that poison in
Poison in
She passed around a potion
It went from lip to hand
I took a sip
A taste i didn't understand
The woman then explained that this was the juice
The juice that causes pain
That all great singers need
I don't want that poison in
I don't want that poison in
I don't want that poison in
Poison in
I stumbled from the room
There must be some mistake
I do not want this seed
I think i'm in another's dream
But i can feel this creature flapping in my throat
I try and throw it up
But my cough turns to a choke
Put my fingers in my mouth
I have it by the head
It dug into my jaw
I threw the sucker to the floor
Threw the sucker to the floor
Threw the sucker to the floor
Threw the sucker to the floor
Threw the sucker to the floor
Threw the sucker to the floor
Threw the sucker to the floor
I don't want that sucker in
I don't want that sucker in
I don't want that sucker in
Sucker in
Sucker in
Sucker in
Sucker in...

11. _ Are You Ready
Hey hey hey
Julie says that i must wake up
I am losing touch 'cause i think too much
I'm afraid to feel, my life feels unreal
You will not find love if you think you're not good enough
Are you ready to rebel
Change your mind, i know you live in hell
Are you ready, oh
All of my beliefs, they come back to me
I think life is tough, so my life is tough
She says find a way to develop love
To receive my love, believe you are good enough
Are you ready to rebel
Change your mind, i know you live in hell,
Are you ready
When we forget why we're here
Out goes love, in comes fear
And if not then, i'm all alone
I need nothing 'til my mind takes hold
Hold, hold
Are you ready to rebel
Are you ready

12. _ Sandman (hup Springs)
Hitching a ride with the sandman
He'll bury your head in his hands
Turn into a bland man
Where will you make your stand?
Hup springs, the voice in man
The prophet calls, the master's plan
You resist his true demands
It's an inner thing that calls at you
Makes you do what you must do
A voice you can ignore
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
But i would rather not go, i would rather stay home
I would rather not go, i would rather stay home
And eat and sleep and think and eat
And eat and sleep and think and eat
Rather not go, rather stay at
Rather not go, rather stay at home
If there's someone outside to see you
You can always run away
But when there's something inside does the calling
There's nowhere you can hide
Jump down an open stair
Fire escape, to the frame and air
Hiding away from the wrong despair
It's and inner thing that calls at you
Makes you do what you must do
A voice you can't ignore
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
But i would rather not go, i would rather stay home
I'd rather not go, i would rather stay home
Where i will eat and sleep and think and eat
And eat and sleep and think and eat
Talk to friends having oh such fun
Watching late night television
Other side of midnight
Mike tyson's feat
Donahue and nighbeat
Jifeman sends my girlfriend to sleep
And eat
And eat
And eat, and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat...
Sleep and eat, sleep and eat...
