96 Quite Bitter Beings With my perceptions in a mix Down twenty miles through the sticks To the cloudy town of Hellview: Population 96 Excessive vacancy, well maybe In the shadow of an eye All the strangers pass right through Where the rules just don't apply At the fork turn left a store But on the right stay free from sight 'Cause 96 quite bitter beings Like to stack the bodies high The only way to ever leave is Over flooded by the storm And entanglement in Hellview Brings you fear in fifty forms They've deleted all the tourists At the bottom of the lake And not one supports the cause To leave the blood stay in the veins Here, three miles back is where we are All we ever wanted was an answer Civilized are close but way too far All we ever wanted was an answer Footprints giving clue to where we are All we ever wanted was an answer Civilized are close but way too far All we ever wanted...

We fell this time With a dying grace Though we're malleable beings, Not enough, it seems And don't lay tired Knew we both would break Though we're malleable beings Not enough, it seems And maybe were wrong to let it go Maybe we were wrong to keep it so long We were only dust and fragile clay Flying far, miles away We'll close our eyes And erase our minds Though we're malleable beings, Not enough, it seems And don't lay tired Knew we both would break Though we're malleable beings, Not enough, it seems And maybe were wrong to let it go Maybe we were wrong to keep it so long We were only dust and fragile clay Flying far, miles away And maybe were wrong to let it go Maybe we were wrong to keep it so long We were only dust and fragile clay Flying far, miles away

Momma made something sweet It's good for you to eat But you were out late messing around The girls are in your hands Dangerous charm you don't understand The other men will burn you alive You're just naive boy You better leave boy Tonight The streets are whispering now Of this gentlemen in town A lover, who cannot be beat The men around town Gathered on the sacred ground And repeated to beat their chests You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now Been hiding as you can Too weak to even stand Your bones don't fit your skin no more Caught you crying at the moon Begging momma for a room But she's felt the burn of your love You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now Got down on your knees to pray Asking your father in his grave He whispered son Get on your horse and ride I'm gonna show you Where you gonna die Where you gonna die Where you gonna die You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now Outro This blessing turned to curse Your charm worked in reverse And a love song That is burnt in my mind

We started out from Bern one sunny August morn' There was just the four of us against the Matterhorn There was Albert the Australian and John the Irishman Me and Bill from Britain, mad dogs in the sun Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn Two miles up, we lost John and our rations fell below Now Al and Bill are lying beneath an avalanche of snow Now here I am alone now, and I know I cannot stop Two more yards in front of me until I reach the top Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn Well, here I am a dying upon the Matterhorn Not a grave for me to lie in nor grave to keep me warm And the Queen would surely knight me if I could get back down But it's closer here to heaven Than it is back to the ground Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn
