Station 7 - Song Lyrics
Sleeping With Father John
400 people dead in the streets of Bagdad
And here we are worryin’ about
Whether she’s got some disease
While we wonder whether we should
Take that test, they’re looking for a place
To bury the deadrest, I wonder what
I wonder what I’d think of you
If my life was that hard
It gets harder as it goes
That’s the only thing I know
And the thunder takes its toll
That’s the only thing I know
Sister Mary is sleeping with Father John
Nobody says but everybody in the parish knows
Look at that guy with the book in his hand
Selling those tickets to the promised land
He’s going to go to Hell, just like that God
He sells, oh well, the one thing he won’t tell ya
It gets harder as it goes
That’s the only thing I know
And the thunder takes its toll
As the wind rips through my clothes
Take my hand
Oh, take my hand
Olive take my hand
Wake The World
Am I awake?
Was that a dream?
I heard a scream
I saw four billion faces
Flash across the sky
I wonder why
I’m shaking
Heartaching
For the things I know and love
I’ll leave behind
Is dream chasing a crime?
I’ll find what I find
Well I wonder what to do
And I wonder what I’ll say
And I wonder what they’re thinking
Anyway, my vision’s clear
I fear no fear
And my logic won’t be steered
One life’s the cost
Save the masses, save the loss
Run hard with that cross
I’ll go, I’ll go
I’ll go wake the world
Station 7
As I read your letter
Tears swelled up inside my eyes
It’s time to think of important things
For worse or for better
I can’t get to sleep
I can’t even close my eyes
My mind is beating rampantly
It’s off the beat
When the lights won’t shine
On anybody
Meet me up at Station 7
They should have a card for me
That’s the gate that leads to Heaven
All I have to do is cross the line
Dividing good and evil
I don’t know why I keep thinking
Thoughts that only drag me down
They drag me down, they pull me under
I wonder what’s this spell I’m under
This is my philosophy
This is how I block out the fear
The punkers bang their head together
For them it’s clear
Is She Blind?
Every time I fall in love
With a girl she runs off
With another guy
Never give me a chance
To prove I’m serious
Always need a little time
To figure out what’s going on
I don’t know how much
Longer I should put up with this
Is she blind
Can’t she see I’m waiting
How much time
‘Til I find a love that’s true
Is she blind
My heart is sick of bleeding
How much time
“Til I find a love that’s true
Maybe I don’t say enough
I’m just not into standard lines
Maybe I just don’t understand
The female mind, maybe I’m just
Into having smoke blown in my eyes
But when the smoke gets cleared
She’s with another guy
Is she blind
Can’t she see I’m waiting
How much time
‘Til I find a love that’s true
Is she blind
My heart is sick of bleeding
How much time
“Til I find a love that’s true
When’s It Gonna Rain?
When’s it gonna rain
The rain would cool things down
And make the grass turn green
It’s all dried up on the ground
And everybody’s grumpy
When they’re driving home from work
Someone always drives too slowly
That guy must be a jerk
It’s a scorching summer day
Have we drifted towards the sun
It’s a scorching summer day
It’s burning everyone
When’s it gonna rain
The forest started fire
It’s really getting bad
Nation’s fighting over water
The dust is getting thicker
And everybody’s mad
If it doesn’t rain by Christmas
I’m sure we’ll be at war
The Dreaded Year
So people are going hungry
On the darker side of the sea
But I barely make enough money for me
And if things don’t start getting better
I may even lose my job
I think we’re due to see a miracle by God
Bad times are brewing
The signs stand clear
We’re going home again
It’s the dreaded year
And when it looks like you’re going no where
Just open up your eyes
Success is known for wearing a disguise
Bad times are brewing
The signs stand clear
We’re going home again
It’s the dreaded year
It’s summertime then wintertime
Then spring will take its place
But we’re still all stuck
On this little ball in outer space
And days will come and days will go
And years will take their place
But remember the only home we’ve found
Is Earth, round face
The Train
For those of us who think alike
There’s news from up above us
They say soon it will be time to lead us home
And the day is getting closer
To the bomb that cracks the crust
It’s just a matter of the elements
Returning into dust
On the train
On the train
As we slip into the future
On a vision from the train
We are the hope, the rope
The Heaven sent
The ones that will remain
And like all the greatest leaders
Who have led us into war
One of three it will be
One of these and not before
On the train
On the train
From the train I see the future
On the train visit the past
On the train
But one thing puzzles me
Why do they call it home
On the train
On the train
On the train I see the future
On the train visit the past
With the hope of seeing the last sunrise
Before the blast
Bricks
Why are U killing me
U said U were mine yeah
Have I been swimming with bricks on
All this time
Now my baby what’s it gonna be
Are U in love with U
Or are U in love with me
Now I’m swimming with bricks on
Swimming with bricks on
Swimming with bricks on
Swimming with bricks on can’t U see
Swimming with bricks U gotta swim with me
I don’t know why
U want to stab
I don’t know why
U would want to rob
I don’t know why
U would want to shoot me
I never did try to bring U down
I got U untied when U were bound
I got U the drugs that keep U happy
Now I’m swimming with bricks on
Swimming with bricks on
Swimming with bricks on
Swimming with bricks on can’t U see
Swimming with bricks U gotta swim with me
Let’s go swimming
Jumping Off Niagara Falls
Hey all you skeptical
Self-indulging citizens
Leaving the lives of your children
In the hands of these
Shifty politicians
I’ve heard of doing stupider things
Like jumping off Niagara Falls
The power boys are beginning to loosen
Their shirts again
And everybody’s cashing in on
Iraq verses Iran
Yeah we can always get more oil somewhere
A war’s ok if it’s fought over there
Diving into shallow water
Diving into shallow water
It’s hard enough
When you’re just trying
To pay the bills on time
Yet you keep yelling at me
“We got to fight to keep those commies in line!”
In Alabama they banned books this year
‘Cause they’re telling their kids
What they don’t want to hear
Diving into shallow water
Diving into shallow water
Headlong to a bloody slaughter
Diving into shallow water
The surface hides the jagged rocks
Not that we would think to look
We’re plunging into extinguishment
]ust like in that old book
I’ve heard of doing stupider things
Like jumping off Niagara Falls
Not To Be Found
I was looking around
And I thought I saw her
But it only was a dream
After a while
I noticed everything
Was not as it would seem
I wanted to scream, but I was silent
I started to run, but I was still
I wanted to hide, but it was obvious
Concealment did no good
Maybe my mind has caught me dreaming
Are the lights on in my head
Suddenly time has got me thinking
Of the things she never said
Maybe my mind has kept me dreaming
In the morning I’m alone bedside my bed
I was driving through town
On a misty morning, several years
From now, today
Across the street I saw her waiting
For the light to turn her way
I wanted to scream, but I was silent
I started to run, but I was still
I wanted to hide, but it was obvious
Concealment did no good
Maybe my mind has caught me dreaming
Are the lights on in my head
Suddenly time has got me thinking
Of the things she never said
Maybe my mind has kept me dreaming
In the morning I’m alone beside my bed
She was not to be found
On a misty morning
Not to be found
On a rainy day
Not to be found
And I was looking all over
Not to be found
She’s gone away
Twirl Girl
You’ve got me in a twirl girl, I don’t know if you’re still mine
You’ve got me in a twirl girl, what happened to all that love shine
Believing all the things you said, I feel like you’re kicking me in the head
You’ve got me in a twirl girl, our love just isn’t going right
The first time you got your hands on me
I was looking for a fish in that big ol’ sea
Don’t look out and don’t see in
But can you please wait baby cause I’m trying to sin
And if you don’t think that we’re doing it right
Then we can start right here and we can do it all night
And you can suck…all my loving in
Yes you can suck…all my loving in
And you can lick my bone and rattle my hat
And you can kill me with your shoving loving heart attack
Now what do you think about that
You’ve got me in a twirl girl, I don’t know if you’re still mine
You’ve got me in a twirl girl, what happened to all that love shine
Believing all the things you said, I feel like you’re kicking me in the head
You’ve got me in a twirl girl, our love just isn’t going right
Maybe I said something wrong
Was my language too tough, my breath too strong
Maybe I didn’t give you rings
But those rocks and stones they just don’t mean a thing
And if you don’t think that we’re doing it right
Then we can start right here and we can do it all night
And you can suck…all my loving in
Yes you can suck…all my loving in
And you can lick my bone and rattle my hat
And you can kill me with your shoving loving heart attack
Now what do you think about that
Twirl girl, twirl girl
Twirl girl, twirl girl
You’ve got me in a twirl girl, I don’t know if you’re still mine
You’ve got me in a twirl girl, what happened to all that love shine
Believing all the things you said, I feel like you’re kicking me in the head
You’ve got me in a twirl girl, our love just isn’t going right
Waiting All My Life
Time will come and time will go
This much I know I know
If I can’t keep a promise to myself
Then who can I believe in
I’ve seen the story in her eyes
Seen the fire in the skies
But I know I’ll keep on searching
‘Til I find what I’ve been for
I’ve been waiting all my life
I’ve been waiting all my life
Paint the picture, draw the line
Say what you have in mind
But don’t let another moment by you
No don’t let another moment by you
The future’s built on what you and I do
And history’s (history repeats itself)
We’re history for those who follow
I’ve been waiting all my life
I’ve been waiting all my life
For this day
Father John’s (reprise)
The world is changing
And it’s not going to be that long
My mind is swollen from the things
I know that might go wrong
When I spend too much time
Thinking about things to come
I try to find a way
To create a distraction
I bid adieu
I know I’ll never think of you
Now that life is that hard
It gets harder as it goes
That’s the only thing I know
As the thunder takes its toll
And the wind rips through my clothes
Watch the skies falling below
As the rivers turn to stone
I’ll not fear the mighty glow
That’s the only thing I know
Learn your lesson, learn it well
‘Cause if we don’t start soon
We’re gonna go through Hell
It’s the only thing, the only thing
It’s everything, it’s everything we know
Let’s Take ‘em Away
Let’s take ‘em away
I don’t want to die like that
Don’t give me that blood
It could be the poison that kills me
I’m washing my hands but I still
Don’t wear a glove
How many of us
Will die as creatures of desire
The times have changed
But they’ve never changed
This fast before
My body’s aged
But I’m still not sure
