Yeah, when I was only seventeen I could hear the angels whispering So I drove into the woods and wandered aimlessly about Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog It turned out to be the howling of a dog Or a wolf to be exact The sound sent shivers down my back But I was drawn into the pack and before long They allowed me to join in and sing their song So from the cliffs and highest hills Yeah, we would gladly get our fill Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong For my flesh had turned to fur Yeah, and my thoughts they surely were Turned to instinct and obedience to God You can wear your fur like a river on fire But you'd better be sure if you're making God a liar I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fuel on a fire So if you're gonna get made Don't be afraid of what you've learned On the day that I turned 23 I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree When suddenly a girl, her skin the color of a pearl She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see She was listening for the angels just like me So I stood and looked about I brushed the leaves off of my snout And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees So I took her by the arm We settled down upon a farm And raised our children up as gently as you please And now my fur has turned to skin And I've been quickly ushered in To a world that I confess I do not know But I still dream of running careless through the snow And through the howling winds that blow Across the ancient distant flow To fill our bodies up like water 'til we know You can wear your fur like a river on fire But you'd better be sure if you're making God a liar I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fuel on a fire So if you're gonna get made Don't be afraid of what you've learned

Oh I'm walking faster, faster and faster to nowhere Oh I'm running slower, slower and slower to somewhere 'Cause the city's closing tighter and tighter around me It's a nightmare, daymare, it's a badmare No matter which way-mare People pushing, hustling, rushing on into the future Windows open, closing, in a way that they just never used to Oh there's violence lurking in the alleys Where no one should dare go So keep walking faster, faster and faster to nowhere Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere We're gonna take a little Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere We're gonna take a little Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere We're gonna take a little Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere We're gonna take a little Children crying, screaming, but no one lets on that they hear them It's getting louder, louder, surely that someone must hear them 'Cause the city's closing tighter and tighter around me It's a nightmare, daymare, it's a badmare No matter which way-mare Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere We're gonna take a little Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere We're gonna take a little Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere We're gonna take a little Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere We're gonna take a little Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere We're gonna take a little

Memories keep flooding in showing the paths I should've taken, but Now that time has run away from me I cannot change a thing. I remember how you'd counsel me with wisdom of the ages true: "Live your best life" you told me and "You walk the earth but once" And now you've come, to see me once again, I feel safe at last; Although I feel the end is coming closer unto me. If I could only travel back in time, to peaceful days gone by. But this is my price to pay: to not survive beyond this very day. Oh, the pain is lessened when you're near, there is no fear. I'm whole again as in days gone by, if only for a while. But it hurts to have to leave you so, I don't want to go. Could this sacrifice cost me my life? Oh, just to live my life again, to treasure every little moment then, Satisfied, I'd leave you all behind, accepting of my fate. But I am full of grief, to leave this life so incomplete. My dream is coming to the end. And now the light is fading, Broken wings have brought the journey's end. Your voice, that led me safe thus far is fading from my ears. You were everything to me, a light to guide me in my darkest hour; Don't want to say goodbye just yet, don't want to be alone. And then you come, to hold me once again, I feel safe at last. Although I feel the end is coming closer unto me. If I could only travel back in time, to peaceful days gone by. But this is my price to pay: to not survive beyond this very day. Oh, the pain is lessened when you're near, there is no fear. I'm whole again as in days gone by, if only for a while. But it hurts to have to leave you so, I don't want to go. Could this sacrifice cost me my life? Oh, tomorrow will not ever come, my night's begun. And I must travel far beyond, to places yet unseen. Remember me, and treasure everyday; Even come what may forget not the precious gift of time, I pray. Oh, just to live my life again, To treasure every little moment, every little moment then, Satisfied, I'd leave you all behind. But I am full of grief, to leave this life so incomplete. My dream is coming to the end.

I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days So I bid farewell, to you, my old Kentucky A place where I was born and raised, yeah (A place where he was born and raised) For six long years, oh, I've been in trouble No pleasures here on earth I've found For in this world, yeah, I'm bound to ramble For I have no friends to help me now (He has no friends, to help him now) So it's fare thee well, to you my old true lover I never expect to see you again For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad Perhaps I'll die upon this train, yeah (Perhaps he'll die upon this train) And you can bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn, oh, to love another While I am sleeping in my grave Maybe your friends, they think that I'm just a stranger My face you'll never will see again But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore, yeah (He'll meet you on God's golden shore) In constant sorrow all my days (In constant sorrow all his days) In constant sorrow all my days (In constant sorrow all his days) In constant sorrow all my days (In constant sorrow all his days) In constant sorrow all his days In constant sorrow all his days In constant sorrow all his days

One and only night, you don't have to leave at all A car rolls up outside on time, a moment from your call A handshake seems more fitting than a kiss Such a shame that you and I should have to end like this Can't we just sit down and talk it over? Surely you can ask the better way Strange that you're the one so set on leaving And I'm the one who said last night that it was all too late Can't we just sit down and talk it over? Who knows maybe in a little while We'll forget our pride and the things we said last night And maybe you and I can talk it out Tonight stay somewhere warm, they say it's gonna freeze You may not find a place at all, so be sure and take your keys I can almost taste the silence now Does it really matter still who was wrong, who let who down? Oh can't we just sit down and talk it over? Who knows maybe in a little while We'll forget our pride, and the things we said last night And maybe you and I can talk it out Hold on, hold on, surely you and I can talk it out Hold on, hold on, surely you and I can make it right Hold on, oh hold on, yeah, can't we just sit down and talk it over? Hold on, hold on, yeah, hold on

There's nothing I could say To make you try to feel okay And nothing you could do To stop me feeling the way I do And if the chance should happen That I never see you again Just remember that I'll always love you I'd be a better person On the other side I'm sure You'd find a way to help yourself And find another door To shrug off a minor incident And make us both feel proud I just wish I could be there to see you through You always were the one To make us stand out in the crowd Though every once upon a while Your head was in a cloud There's nothing you could never do To ever let me down And remember that I'll always love you

Come see what we all talk about People moving to the moon Stop baby don't go stop here Never stop living here Till it eats the heart from your soul Keeps down the sound of your Silent sigh.

Keeps down all move me down Cos the way we love each other Come see what we all talk about People moving to the moon Stop baby don't go stop here Never stop living here Till it eats the heart from your soul Keeps down the sound of your Silent sigh, Silent Sigh, Silent Sigh, Silent sigh silent sigh silent sigh, Keeps down all move me down But don't love each other No don't love each other Never gonna be the sound, get it on. See, si, See, si, See, si, Silent sigh. Silent, silent silent silent silent, sigh. Please don't, all, move me down. Silent, silent, silent silent sigh. Silent sigh. Move me down. We're gonna love, each other.

File me away In your heart someday You just be you I'll be me ok [Ad lib] File me away In your heart someday You just be you I'll be me ok [Ad lib] File me away In your heart someday You just be you I'll be me ok

I'm tired of thinking about this morning May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings If this is your last photograph Just smile, stand tall, and you could have it all Color your soul, to make it whole And use this day, what of it remains If it's your reality, if this is your reality Let it be Ten feet tall, but feeling small You raise those plans Take a hold with your hands This photograph could be your last A final prize, a moment in time If it's your reality, if this if something you can see I'm tired of thinking about this morning May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings Ascend your soul, reach your goal Blue-eyed one, hope against hope Taking that fall, unwrapped it all Bring it back, like the blood of the triad If it's this reality, if this is all just let it be I'm tired of thinking about this morning May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings I'm tired of thinking about this morning May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings Just when you think that you could never find it Just then you realize your future is all in your hands One day we'll look at this and laugh about it Until then just realize the future is all in our hands I'm tired of thinking about this morning May as well just dream of what tomorrow brings
