CD: AUDIOSLAVE

COCHISE

Well I've been watching
While you’ve been coughing
I’ve been drinking life
While you’ve been nauseous
And so I drink to health
While you kill yourself
And I’ve got just one thing 
that I can offer

(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me

I'm not a martyr
I'm not a prophet
And I won’t preach to you
But here's a caution
You better understand
That I won’t hold your hand
But if it helps you mend
Then I won’t stop it

(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me

Drown if you want
And I'll see you at the bottom
Where you’ll crawl on my skin
And put the blame on me
So you don’t feel a thing 

(chorus)
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me


SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE

And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep
And in the aching night under satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease

(chorus)
Nail in my head
From my creator
You gave me life 
Now show me how to live

And in the after birth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
You better thing again
Before my role defines you

(chorus)
Nail in my head
From my creator
You gave me life 
Now show me how to live

And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin


GASOLINE

House is haunted
I just want to go for a ride
Out and on
Before I set this room alight
Left alone forever and for crimes unclear
With my patience gone
Someone take me far from here

Burning that gasoline

New day yawning another day in solitaire
House is honest
Clearly more than I bear
Drag me off 
Before I set my world on fire
Out and gone the sun will never
Set tonight

Burning that gasoline

No what fors, only a can
Of red says danger on it
I have found another way
Burning that gasoline

Burning that gasoline


WHAT YOU ARE

And when you wanted me
I came to you
And when you wanted someone else
I withdrew
And when you asked for light
I set myself on fire
And if I go far away I know
You'll find another slave

(chorus)
Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

And when you wanted blood
I cut my veins
And when you wanted love
I bled myself again
Now that I've had my fill of you
I'll give you up forever
And here I go far away
I know you'll find another slave

(chorus)
Cause now I'm free from
What you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

Then a vision came to me
When you came along
I gave you everything
But then you wanted more


LIKE A STONE

On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

(chorus)
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone

On my deathbed I will prey
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

(chorus)
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone

And on I read
Until the day was done
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on


SET IT OFF

He was standing at the rock
Gathering the flock
And getting there with no directions
And underneath the arch
It turned into a march
And there he found the spark to 
Set this fucker off

(chorus)
He said set if off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set a fire

Suddenly a shot
Ripped into his heart
he lay in need some attention
And there he played his card
Going into shock
The last thing that he said was 
Set this fucker off

(chorus)
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set a fire

Jesus at the back door
Everything is alright
All we need is some direction
Every time the wind blows
Everything you don't know
Turns into a revelation
It all adds up inside your head
Time is wasted


SHADOW ON THE SUN

Once upon a time I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word
Now all that is gone
Over with and done - never to return

(chorus 1)
I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Staring at the loss
Looking for a cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned

(chorus 2)
I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lives inside my skin


I AM THE HIGHWAY

Pearls of swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for the leaving I feel

(chorus)
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

(chorus)
I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightening
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night


EXPLODER

I met a man locked away
For things he hadn't done
Innocence on a ball and chain
He'll never feel the sun
Again on his face or roses
In his hands but when he smiled
At me I could understand

(chorus)
If you're free you'll never see the walls
If you're head is clear you'll never free fall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If you're head is high you'll never fear at all

There was a daughter of a man
Who took his life too young
She swore she'd never do the same
Then did just what he'd done
And a boy who's gone insane
Voices in his head
No one knows what they say
Now his mothers dead

(chorus)
If you're free you'll never see the walls
If you're head is clear you'll never free fall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If you're head is high you'll never fear at all

There was a man who had a face
That looked a lot like me
I saw him in the mirror and
I fought him in the street
And when he turned away
I shot him in the head
Then I came to realize
I had killed myself

(chorus)
If you're free you'll never see the walls
If you're head is clear you'll never freefall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If you're head is high you'll never fear at all


HYPNOTIZE

Well if you set your mind upon it
I know that you can
You've got everything you wanted
You've done everything you planned
So let me make an offer
I'm only trying to help
You can make your load
Just a little lighter
All you got to do is share the wealth

(chorus)
Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself
Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself

Well I know you got problems
I see it in your eyes
But if you want to live
To see the morning
Give it up to your brother
Or you'll get a surprise

(chorus)
Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself
Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself

Well, it's time to see
You got to give or you're gonna receive
It's time to see
You got to live if you wanna believe
You can be


BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE

I was on my way to the center of the sun
When I lost my wings and I fell into a crowd
And they carried me to a hole in the ground
And they buried me
Where no one can see
And no one would be around

I am a virus, I live in silence

I was on my way to a city in the clouds
When I lost my mind and I had to settle down
Then I had a dream of an island in the sea
Where the lepers die
Where no one survives
And no one can hear the cries

I am a virus, I live in silence

And just like the heathens thinking
On our feet we believe in god
And with one step, two steps
Three steps toward the graveyard
On the high road to remembering
It seems that we forgot

I am a virus, I live in silence


LIGHT MY WAY

In my hour of need
On a sea of gray
On my knees I pray to you
Help me find the dawn
Of the dying day

(chorus)
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?

A bullet is a man
From time to time he strays
I compare my life to this
To this I relate
And I'm willing
To listen to your answers
And I'm not ashamed
To tell you I need you today

(chorus)
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?

So when I'm lost
Or I’m tired and depraved
Or when my high bullet mind
Goes astray won't you light my way


GETAWAY CAR

The first time I saw you
You were chasing down
A cyclone
All alone in the field
With rail yards and clovers 
I kept rolling on and never thought 
You'd wind up chasing me

(chorus)
Well settle down I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find 
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane

You’re tired of walking and you 
Loathe the ground
The sideway will barely 
Touch your feet and life moves
Too slowly to hold you down
With ringing hands 
You take it out on me

(chorus)
Well settle down I won't hesitate 
To hit the highway
Before you leave me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find 
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane


THE LAST REMAINING LIGHT

Roll me on your frozen fields
Break my bones to watch them heal
Drown me in your thirsty veins
Where I'll watch and I'll wait
And pray for the rain 

Curl like smoke and breathe again
Down your throat, inside your ribs
Through your spine and every nerve
Where I'll watch and I'll wait and yield to the hurt 

(chorus)
And if you don’t believe
The sun will rise
Stand alone and greet 
The coming night
In the last remaining light 

Seven moons and seven suns
Heaven wait for those who run
Down your winter 
Underneath your waves
Where you watch and wait
And pray for the day 

(chorus)
And if you don’t believe
The sun will rise
Stand alone and greet 
The coming night
In the last remaining light


CD: OUT OF EXILE

01 Your Time Has Come

One fell asleep in the street and he never woke up
One died in pieces in his bed with a head full of gold
One who threatened me long ago
I saw him
Melt in the bright light of day
One laid to rest in a field under starlings and crows

Chorus
I’ve been wandering sideways
I’ve stared straight into the sun
Still I don’t know why you are dying
long before your time has come

One took some bullets in the chest in a deal gone wrong
One got a little too depressed so he went and jumped the gun
One got shot right in the face and somehow he survived
But he doesn’t know my name or who I am
And I’m not surprised

Chorus
I’ve been wandering sideways
I’ve stared straight into the sun
Still I don’t know why you are dying
long before your time has come
I’ve been wandering sideways
I’ve stared straight into the sun
Still I don’t know why you are dying
long before your time has come
your time has come

I’ve seen 50,000 names all engraved in stone
Most of them met an early grave years before I was born
All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind
Most of their family and friends are still alive and doing time

Chorus
I’ve been wandering sideways
I’ve stared straight into the sun
Still I don’t know why you are dying
long before your time has come
I’ve been wandering sideways
I’ve stared straight into the sun
Still I don’t know why you are dying
long before your time has come
long before your time has come
long before your time has come
your time has come


02 Out Of Exile

When I first came to this island
that I called by own name
I was happy in this fortress,
in my exile I remained
But the hours grew so empty
and the ocean sent her waves
In the figure of a woman
and she pulled me out to sea

Chorus
When you come down to take me home
send my soul away
When you come round you’ll make me whole
send my soul away

On the altar of a sunrise
was a wedding in the waves
And inside her shown a young light
from her labor I was saved
Though I’ve traveled long in darkness
in her harvest I’m embraced

Chorus
When you come down to take me home
send my soul away
When you come round you’ll make me whole
send my soul away

Now the spires and the gables
grow in orchards to the sky
And the blessings on my table
multiply and divide

Chorus
When you come down to take me home
send my soul away
Yeah when you come round you’ll make me whole
send my soul away
Yeah when you come down to take me home
when you come round you’ll make me whole
Yeah when you come round to take me home
Send my soul away
send my soul away
Send my soul away
send my soul away


03 Be Yourself

Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In the chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lies a dozen
White roses on the grave

Yeah
And be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation
In everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Empty or insane

And be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Even when you paid enough
And put upon
Or been held up
Every single memory of
Good or bad
Traces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
Even with love
Be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
Oh
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
All that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do


04 Doesn't Remind Me

I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything

Chorus
The things that I’ve loved the things that I’ve lost
The things I’ve held sacred that I’ve dropped
I won’t lie no more you can bet
I don’t want to learn what I’ll need to forget

I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I ilke hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything

Chorus
The things that I’ve loved the things that I’ve lost
The things I’ve held sacred that I’ve dropped
I won’t lie no more you can bet
I don’t want to learn what I’ll need to forget

Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won’t stir up the past
So descretely
We won’t look back

Chorus
The things that I’ve loved the things that I’ve lost
The things I’ve held sacred that I’ve dropped
I won’t lie no more you can bet
I don’t want to learn what I’ll need to forget

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what’s mine is ours
If it doesn’t remind me of anything


05 Drown Me Slowly

I’ve got a will this time don’t care what you say
I’ve got a feeling this will all go away
It’s in the wind this time it’s in the southern sky
I can’t walk on water yet won’t even try

Chorus
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

All that I took with me was a bad taste in my mouth
Went all around the world just couldn’t spit it out
Just like ground zero was the surface of the sun
That’s a sickness I can’t fix it not all at once

Chorus
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

Don’t let them take you down
You’ll leave a better world than you found
Don’t let them take you down
You’ll leave a better world than you found
Don’t let them take you down
Don’t let them take you down
Don’t let them take you down
Don’t let them take you down

Chorus
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly


06 Heavens Dead

Anchor the night, open the sky
Hide in the hours before sunrise
Pray for me not, I won’t lose sight
Of where I belong and where you lie

Chorus
Heaven’s dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you’ve had

Shipwreck the sun, I’m on your side
An army of one, onward we’ll ride
And whisper your songs, birds to the air
We’ll bury all of our burdens there

Chorus
Heaven’s dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you’ve had
Heaven’s dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you’ve had

Best time you had
For the best time you had
Heaven’s dead when you get sad

Chorus
Heaven’s dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time
For the best time you’ve had
Heaven’s dead when you get sad
I see your wishes fly
Out of time

I’ll take it all, arrows or guns
Hundreds or more to save you from one
Save you from one
And Where I’ll be
Heaven’s dead when you get sad


07 The Worm

Was a time early in life
When I hated everything
Born too young, top of my lungs
Sitting on the bottom rung
Took advice from the wrong shoulder
Took a lot of everything
I’ve decided to make it alright with my

Chorus
Halo--I’m complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I’m reborn
I can do no wrong

Black and blue, suffering fools
By the age of seventeen
Low and high, just one more time
Felt like an eternity
Right or wrong, never too strong
Friends became my enemies
God forsaken, never too late with my

Chorus
Halo--I’m complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I’m reborn
I can do no wrong

You’ll stay the same
You’ll stay the same
You’ll stay the same
You’ll stay the same
You’ll stay the same
You’ll stay the same
You’ll stay the same

Chorus
Halo--I’m complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I’m reborn
Halo--I’m complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I’m reborn
I can do no wrong


08 Man Or Animal

You give me a heart attack
You look like the summertime
You call me an artifact
But I’ll save that for another time
I could be rich or poor
I don’t need anymore

Keep your love inside the kitchen
You can feed me anything
Leave the feathers on the chicken
Peel the leather from your skin
I can be young or old
Sweet or sad, hot or cold

Chorus
Man or animal, I don’t care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obidient—
out of control

I will love you more than money
I will breathe you in the smoke
I will drink you in my honey
Sweet and golden down my throat
When you’re right, when you’re wrong
Head is near, eyes are gone
You can drown my appetite
I will sip your tears at night
You can tie me to a chair
Skin and bones, I don’t care
I could be rich or poor
I don’t need anymore

Chorus
Man or animal, I don’t care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obidient—
out of control
Man or animal, I don’t care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obidient—
out of control
out of control

You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that
You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that


09 Yesterday To Tomorrow

Beauty is what the eyes behold
And you burn brighter than most
I chased you thru the midnight streets
To be where I could speak freely
I didn’t care what tomorrow held
I felt the world turning only for us
Only bliss now for you and me
Rise up let life’s kiss send us reeling
And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We have more than everything
More than man or machine
More than luck
More than fiction
Higher than any religion

And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We’ll squeeze the blood out of life
And say goodnight to the silver of old
Even when wrong we’re right
Far beyond the world of diamonds and gold
I’ve come to realize
Where happiness lies
I want you to know I know
And unlike the times before
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets no remorse


10 Dandelion

Settle down now and sit with me
Let me tell you how this all came to be
A yellow flower with your pedals to the air
And flying on paper wings that brought you here
Summer rolls on in the lazy hours
An ether dream way
Of hummingbirds and clouds
Midnight swims in the cool back waves
And you in my arms as it rolls away

Chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine

Born of restless night the moon as a pearl
Playing games down inside your soft warm world
Hear my voice I know that you can
You’re the fire in my eyes
The sun as a man
Seasons come along and seasons go
And what they’ll leave behind
I don’t pretend to know
I’m afraid that all I have missed
Will loom very large when the darkness lifts

Chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine

I will ride by your side
Wherever you go
I won’t run I won’t hide
Just letting you know
Chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine


11 #1 Zero

Listen now, let me speak
I will be the dog at your feet
And come along when you call
Be the little bird in your straw and sing you a song
I’ll be there to take the fall
Though you tread upon me for no reason at all

Chorus
But just when you think you’ve left me blind
I will keep you in the corner of my eye

I will never leave your side
Though you call me your number one zero
your nevermind
I’ll be your king, I’ll be your pawn
I will builid a pedestal and put you upon it

Chorus
But just when you think you’ve left me blind
I’ll be creeping right up behind
Cause if I need to
I will keep you in the corner of my eye
corner of my eye

Down on the street, over your night
Out of your sleep, out of your sight
if I need to, if I need to
Out of your mouth, in every word
Down in your ego one thing is sure
I will keep you, I will keep you

Chorus
But just when you think you’ve left me blind
I will be creeping right up behind
Cause baby if I need to
Lord, I will keep you in the corner of my eye
I will be the bird in your straw
But you won’t get far
I will keep you in the corner of my eye


12 The Curse

Help me I don’t know what I’m doin
Help me before I fall to ruin
And if I’m blind, I will lead you on
Come follow me now, before our time is gone

Chorus
And as you’re laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I’m howling at the moonlight, don’t you kid yourself
I will be your luck and never your curse

Help me I don’t know what I’m saying
Sometimes this tongue can be betraying
And if I’m wrong, is that such a crime?
And if you want, you can set my words to right

Chorus
And as you’re laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I’m howling at the moonlight, don’t you kid yourself
I will be your luck

And if your eyes forget to well
And if your lies forget to tell
And if our paths forget to cross
It doesn’t mean you’re lost

Chorus
So as you’re laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I’m howling at the moonlight, don’t you kid yourself
I will be your luck
If you’re laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I’m howling at the moonlight, don’t you kid yourself
I will be your luck
Cause even at my worst
I will be your luck
never be your curse
