LYRICS:
My dear old friend, it’s you we need
There’s blood in the gutters, and fear in the street
How long can we fight for a change that never comes
In some ways it’s the same, but tonight the crowd they came
Fists in the air
Candles and vigils
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
But how long’s it been since you been outside
How long’s it been since you opened your eyes
Cause I've been to the line, and it’s all right there
And I cannot wait to get on from here
Arms bent back and blackjack welt
Involuntary tears and the tears we felt
Does it always have to get worse before it gets better
In some ways it’s the same, but tonight the crowd they came
Fists in the air
Candles and vigils
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
But how long’s it been since you been outside
How long’s it been since you opened your eyes
Cause I’ve been to the line, and it’s all right there
And I cannot wait to get on from here
Sha la la la la la
Virgil caine where are you now
Did they bury the hate, when they buried the south
You got to tell the spirits mystics of tomorrow
In some ways it’s the same, but tonight the crowd they came
Fists in the air
Candles and vigils
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
But how long’s it been since you been outside
How long’s it been since you opened your eyes
Cause I’ve been to the line, and it’s all right there
And I cannot wait to get on from here

LYRICS:
I remember that night
You fell asleep under the truck when it got late
In the morning when I pulled out to look for you
Thank God I rolled out straight
Nothing was ever too much
Doing flips off the roof
Its like you were cheating death left and right
But you still wanted proof
I was thinking about you just yesterday
How you were gonna stop by on your way
I had some things that I wanted to talk to you about
Had some things that I wanted to say
But now I stand here in your flannel shirt
Your mom couldnt bear to give it to goodwill
Its not even cold out, but I wear it still
You were always there when we hit the wall
Now no ones gonna break our fall
We laughed until we got drunk
We drank until we fight
And then wed laugh again over my fat lip
While you were icing your eye
Then you got behind the needle
Chasing the next high
And then you managed to escape it
You got that job and you married your wife
And I was thinking about you just yesterday
How you were gonna stop by on your way
I had some things that I wanted to talk to you about
Had some things that I wanted to say
But now I stand here in your flannel shirt
Your mom couldnt bear to give it to goodwill
Its not even cold out, but I wear it still
You were always there when we hit the wall
Now no ones gonna break our fall
Break our fall
Break our fall
Break our fall
Now no ones gonna break our fall
And I was thinking about you just yesterday
How you were gonna stop by on your way
I had some things that I wanted to talk to you about
Had some things that I wanted to say
But now I stand here in your flannel shirt
Your mom couldnt bear to give it to goodwill
Its not even cold out, but I wear it still
You were always there when we hit the wall
Now no ones gonna break our fall
Break our fall
Break our fall
Break our fall
Now no ones gonna break our fall
Ill see you when I see you
Oh, theres maybe
But I wont love you when I love you
Know that Ill always stay the same
I wont feel you when I feel you
Cause I feel you everyday
But Ill see you when I see you

LYRICS:
You warn me and keep me here
You call us close to dispel your fear
You painted the color of peace with your hands
As the water flows north by west they come moving
Raising up their hands, as the thunder calls
Well come to the straightest tree
What flag are you flying?
(I have seen your kind for miles)
Great Father in the East says well need
Only wide like our wagon wheels
Only as long as the day holds a blessing will we pass
And not be back...
He offers to us our own hands
Painted lines upon our land
Dog Soldiers dont ignite the land
What flag are you flying?
(I have seen your kind for miles)
White flag are you flying?
(I have seen your kind for miles)
Oh we huddle to the tree
And hold it with both hands
At the center we will be together as one we will stand
Frozen tears, frozen tears may raven truth of frozen tears remain
What flag are you flying?
(I have seen your kind for miles)
White flag are you flying?
(I have seen your kind for miles)
I still stand
I hold them up
I still stand
I hold you up
I still stand
To hold you up")

LYRICS
Long hair and longer stride
skateboard affair with a primal tribe
and your cut off painter pants
chargin down the craggy mountains with our thrift store friends
who you find so... so in love with the falling earth
oh you wake in the middle of the falling night with summer playing coy
in the attics of the city night
we talked corso and the MC5
you could dance like
we were all ALL right
only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
stars are up now no place to go... but everywhere
one i met in the green mountain state
i dropped out, and he moved away
heard he got some land down south
changed his name to a name the birds could pronounce
only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
stars are up now no place to go but everywhere... no place to go but everywhere
and in the city the mayor said
those who dance are all mislead
so you packed your things and moved to the other coast
said you gonna be like charlie rose
only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
oh the riot and rush of the warm night air
only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
stars are up now no place to go... but everywhere
only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
oh the riot and rush of the warm night air
only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch")

LYRICS
Came for the fire
Left before it was done
Im yours till your hearts desire
Till you tell yourself theres another one
I am frightened, you are silent
Youre my religion, I was your science
Is this the war of our reliance, have I lost my part in your dream
And I am standing at attention
There is no science or religion
Your eyes in perfect cold defiance,
And I have never seen that look before
You pour the water
I would haul the stones
And all the iron and the mortar
And all the other dreams that we left alone
And I am frightened, you are silent
Youre my religion, I was your science
Is this the war of our reliance, have I lost my part in your dream
And I am standing at attention
There is no science or religion
Your eyes in perfect cold defiance,
And I have never seen that look before
And I am frightened, you are silent
Youre my religion, I was your science
Is this the war of our reliance, have I lost my part in your dream
And I am standing at attention
There is no science or religion
Your eyes in perfect cold defiance,
And I have never seen that look before
