1. _ Not My Slave
With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind
I thought about the ghost that we left behind.
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper "i love you."
The fire in your eyes-- may it never go out.
The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night.
I see no escape from the roles we always play
What do we have to prove on this judgement day
You're missing the whole point-- you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life-- the games not over yet
I do not own your soul--don't want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
You're mine now but you're not my sister
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine but you're not my child
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine now but you're not my slave
With sadness in my heart and clounds in my head
I thought about us both and the lives we led.
The pages on a book and pictures on a screen
We shape ourselves like clay from someone else's dream.
One second you are cast just like stones at my feet
But i am not a king please don't worship me.
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper "i love you."
You're missing the whole point-- you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life-- the games not over yet
I do not own your soul--don't want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
You're mine now but you're not my sister
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine but you're not my child
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine but you're not my sister
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine but you're not my child
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine now but you're not my slave

2. _ Pain
Welcome to my little world...completely self-contained, yeah
Your problems they will soon be gone (we soak up lots of pain), yeah
If life is a reflecting pool--then we are like a sponge, yeah
Absorbing the good with the bad--we soak up...soak it up
So give me all your troubled thoughts
And baggage you can't handle, no
We'll gladly take it off your back (we soak up lots of pain), yeah
(chorus)
Is it any wonder now-everybody goes insane
Everybody locks the door to keep out any strangers
Everybody's all pent up--everybody's got short fuse
Getting ready to blow up, we live in so much danger
Boys and girls in a line -- come and get your big reward
Your're not too late just in time
Put your hand on mine you're mine you're mine
When everybody has gone to bed--and children are asleep, yeah
I sit up late and watch t.v. (and soak up lots of pain), yeah
Little junior on the bus--his notebook by his side, yeah
He hardly ever makes a fuss--he soaks up so much pain
We've traveled far this monkey and me--by airplane boat and train, yeah
We're here to eat up all your sins (and soak up all your pain), yeah
(chorus)
Boys and girls of every creed--religion and persuasion, nooo
It's time to get up off your knees...we soak up...soak it up
So open the door and let me in--don't question who i am, no
Just shake my hand and give me your name (we soak up...soak it up...)

3. _ Elevator Man
Who's goin down
Who's goin down - who's goin down
I ride my elevator
Through the shafts of your heart
When you climb aboard baby
There's no getting off
I'm a silent operator won't you please take my hand
I am so polite - i'm the elevator man
Friction and harmony - who's gonna ride with me
I'm the elevator man
Who's going down who's comin with me
Who wants to take a chance
On a piece of abstract reality
It's only just a dance
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man
Who's goin down yeah - movin slow without a sound
Who's going down - who's going down - who's going down

4. _ My Life
I would really like to know you better
But sometimes i'm afraid that it's not meant to be
I would like to believe in something higher
But i can't get a grip on all the little things
When the night comes i cannot sit still you see
And the years they have not been so kind to me
Got a gallery of figures standing all in a row
And every single figure has a soul of its own
But i never look back
Never look back
Don't turn your back on me
(chorus)
(hey yeah) my life has come unraveled again
Like so many threads
(hey yeah) my life has begun unfolding
In so many pieces
(hey yeah) my life has come unraveled again like
So many threads in the wind - drift away - drift away
There's a time and a place
For understanding
And a time when action speaks louder than words
And i don't seem to get no indications
And i don't know how to get through to you
And when time like the pyramids
Has worn away
All the mountains and the valleys
Of the words that we say
We have got to make sure that something remains
If we lose each other we've got no one to blame
So never look back
Never look back
Don't turn your back on me
(chorus)

5. _ Home Again
Where is she going - ooh, she looks like she's lost
Won't someone help her - somebody give her a hand
She's got such sweet eyes - look like they've seen too much
Knew someone like here - nobody helped, but she's
Home again...home again...home again
Where are you going - to see a crazy old man
What will he tell you - he'll tell me where i'm going
What will you do then - i might just quit my job
What will you do then - i'm gonna find my way
Home again...home again...home again
(chorus)
(where're we going, where're we going, home again,
We're home again, we're home)
Where is he going - why does he walk that way
Sticking his chest out - what is he trying to say
He's got charisma - but when he's all alone
He curls up in a ball - and wishes that he was
Home again...home again...home again
Where are we going - why do we feel so small
Alone and helpless - in this big crazy world
Looking for something - that's so hard to describe
But just like children - going along for the
Ride again...ride again...ride again
(chorus)
Well, ain't that something - guess i lost my head
Must have took a wrong turn - when i got out'a bed
Ended up on the wrong street - wrong side of town
People here are the wrong type - they've got me down
I'm eating the wrong food - drinkin' the wrong wine
Can't hardly see straight - can't walk the line
Shakin' all the wrong hands - makin' the wrong talk
Steppin' on the wrong feet - every time i walk
(chorus)

6. _ Outrageous
My situation never changes - or very little
My little world -- my little world--is due for a shakeup
Or a shakedown would be acceptable
And i can't understand--can't understand
Why people think i'm so respectable
I believe, i believe, i believe
Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous
Outrageous things are gonna happen to me
They're gonna happen to the other side
They're gonna happen to somebody
It's gonna happen to the kids to the people next door
And it really isn't funny
And i said my situation never changes
But i'm not too sure
I believe, i believe, i believe, i believe
That something's gonna happen real soon (something scary)
I know, i know, i know
Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous
Outrageous things are gonna happen to me
They're gonna happen to me.
Everywhere i go--outrageous
Everything i see
Everytime i talk--outrageous
I'm gettin into trouble
Open my big mouth--outrageous
Words keep fallin out
Open my big mouth--outrageous
Now i'm in trouble
I believe, i believe, i believe

7. _ We Close Our Eyes
We close our eyes
We close our eyes and dream and the world has turned around again
When everybody is running in the big race
And having a good time
Who am i to cast a shadow
Who am i?
I looked death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror
And he simply smiled
He told me not to worry
He told me just to take my time
Chorus:
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream ...
And if you come to me
And if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear
Who am i?
And if you think i'm worth it
And if you think it's not too late
We might start falling
If we don't try to hard
We might start falling in love
(chorus)
We're on the healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride
That could never turn back
And if you love me
And if you really try
To make the seconds count
Then we can close our eyes
(chorus)
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again

8. _ New Generation
People raise your voices, don't get caught in that mess
Like a fly in a spider's web, is it true more is less
Herded like a happy flock to the big t.v. slaughter
"why don't you break that leash," said the heifer to the sheep
It's a new generation
It's a hallucination
It's a mystic vibration
It's just intimidation
It's the will of the people
It's the church with the steeple
It's the sacred devotion
To an unhealthy notion
People raise your voices, don't get into that trap
If your friends and your neighbors push
Why don't you push them back
Don't you think the time has come
To stand up and be heard
Ain't no use to try and wait
For the magic word
It's a new generation
It's an infatuation
It's a beautiful body
Both erotic and deadly
It's the fear of the future
It's just surgeons and sutures
It's a spandex obsession
It's a lasting impression
Do you feel the power
Do you feel the power
Baptized in electronic water
Prodigal sons and beautiful daughters
With smiles and bows and rosy cheeks
And the righteous bath
Death to the freaks
Do you feel the power
Do you feel the power
From the man whose voice sounds reassuring
Completely firm and so alluring, like's he's lived a thousand times before
And seen the world from shore to shore
With the calmness and tranquility that oozes credibility
With the wisdom and the confidence that seem to scream out common sense
And it makes you feel just like a babe
Daddy holding you tight and safe
Hush babe everything's all right, daddy's gonna stay with you tonight
Now he's got you by the balls, he can sell you anything at all
From morality to diamond rings to genocide to magazines
From religion to cosmology to the end of a democracy
It's a new generation
It's a divine inspiration
Always ready to follow
Ever willing to swallow
All the doctor's prescriptions
All the mystic inscriptions
It's the spandex obsession
It's a lasting impression
It's the calm meditation
Of a tranquilized nation
It's a hallucination
It's a new generation

9. _ Where Do All My Friends Go?
When lightning strikes and we are sleeping
When everyone around is dreaming
When children aren't children no more
When parents aren't behind the door
When football's over and the beer's gone
When t.v. set no longer turns on
(tell me where my friends go)
If i could float and drift forever
I'd join the shattered dreams together
I'd spy upon the disbelievers
And scatter them into the seasons
When winter comes i'd keep on moving
To fill the cup of understanding
I'd fly...to hidden places in the sky
(tell me where my friends go)
(chorus)
My hesitation - is strong today
The indications - all point away
To something better - for everyone
Has something gone astray
I'll follow you until i die
With outstretched arms into the sky
When all is aid and come undone
The words will come, the words will come
We'll chase the ghosts into the shadows
The spectres watch through every window
We'll run like dogs and jump the fences
And howl at men behind their faces
We'll bark at night and wake the neighbors
And tell the world of our adventures
(tell me where my friends go)
(chorus)
My revelations - have lost control
My better judgement - has gone away
Our evolution is full of holes
Has something gone astray
(tell me where our friends go)
