Baby, Can You Dig The Light

Baby, can you dig the light?
I finally reached the end of the tunnel
This is the end of the tunnel
And there is no light
Where is the light?
I always thought I'd see some kind of light
I always heard there'd be some sort of light
Where is the light?
I always hoped there'd be light
I want
I want the light

The Straight Life

Sowin' the seeds of discontentment
Spillin' milk all over your misspent youth
Nurture your crop with blind resentment
All your cryin' can't change the truth

The straight life, baby, has taken its toll
Confiined your mind and stolen your soul

Your shit don't stink now that you're livin' the straight life
Lookin' so cute in that grown-up's suit
Chasin' down all your lost and wasted time
You don't care who the fuck you screw

The straight life, baby, has taken its toll
Confiined your mind and stolen your soul

You reap just what you sow
If you reap anything at all
I let my wild weeds grow
I hope they choke your rotten crop

The straight life, baby, has taken its
toll Confiined your mind and stolen your soul

Where The Flavor Is

You look good, as a matter of fact
You look good enough to eat
You'd look great in a giant vat
Stomping grapes up to your knees

I'll drink the wine squeezed from your vines
'Till I'm much too drunk to speak
And I won't stop 'till we're partners in crime
Grinning wide with purple teeth

Come to where the flavor is
Come to where the flavor is
I wanna come
To where the flavor is

I understand why the Earth quakes
And tries to open up
You leave a taste with every step you take
But for this world that ain't enough

Come to where the flavor is
Come to where the flavor is
I wanna come

Looking in your eyes I get mesmerized
New horizons open
Wider than the oceans
You know you make me feel all right
C'mon baby, let me take a bite

You look good, that's a matter of truth
Yes you're quite the toothsome treat
You taste great, with or without fruit
I'm gonna start down at your feet

Come to where the flavor is
Come to where the flavor is
I'm gonna come
To where the flavor is

In The Winner's Circle

It's not as bad as it's been
Still it's not as good as it used to be
I don't remember, exactly when
Shifting sands drift like memories

Been wrung through the wringer
And spit out a winner
Yeah I'm a winner 'cause I've got nothing left to lose

I can still see you standing in the doorway
The sky behind you was clear and the sun was high
Everything went white when you walked away
My eyes were blinded, my mind went clear and I felt all right

Been wrung through the wringer
And spit out a winner
Yeah I'm a winner 'cause I've got nothing left to lose

I got nothing and I feel all right
I got nothing and that's fine with me
I got nothing I got nothing and I feel free

Been wrung through the wringer
And spit out a winner
Yeah I'm a winner 'cause I've got nothing left to lose

Our Time Is Now

Our time is coming
Here comes our time
Our time is now
This is our time

They say that time is tight
Well, we're tight too
They say that times are tough
Yeah, we know just what we gotta do

They're crawling overhead
They're flying down below
They can see though walls
Still they don't know

Our time is coming
Here comes our time
Our time is now
This is our time

No we're not with you
We're not with them either
Given two lousy choices
We choose neither

Our time is coming
Here comes our time
Our time is now
This is our time

Dyin' For It

First thing I remember baby, you came floating by
Everything before that belongs to someone else's life
I lost touch with everything I used to be
And now my heart pounds out a brand new beat

You got me dyin' for it baby
You know I'm tryin' to get through
You got me cryin' for ya baby
Oh Lord, what else can I do?

Next thing I know, you dropped out of sight
Now I see you every time I close my eyes
Moving so smoothly along the hot concrete
The way you move could make tonight complete

You got me dyin' for it baby
You know I'm tryin' to get through
You got me cryin' for ya baby
Oh Lord, what else can I do?

Inside Job

Always watchin' from outside
Been livin' like this all my life
Well I've changed my mind, baby I want in
Take you by suprise and bring you to my end

It takes an inside job to make it easy when it's hard
It takes an inside job to really get things done

Got to get inside to make the changes come
When you come around, you'll cry out loud
And hold me tight 'till the shit goes down

It takes an inside job to make it easy when it's hard

Let me in

It takes an inside job to make it easy when it's hard

Take It Like A Man

When the big picture makes you feel small
And your good friends are good for nothing at all
Don't pretend that it's not your fault
You gotta take it like a man
Take it like a man

When you lash out against society
And find yourself in penetentiary
And your cell-mate says, "You belong to me"
You gotta take it like a man
Take it like a man

Once you realize that you're not in charge
It makes your codpiece feel a little too large
When you can't make your prick get hard
You gotta fake it like a man
Fake it like a man

When your big-ass truck keeps on breaking down
And your big-barreled gun misfires every round
You wanna holler but you can't make a sound
You gotta take it like a man
Take it like a man

Crooked And Wide

Going in to the smallest center
Just to look it deep in the eye
And peel away every layer
'Till there's no place left to hide
Going out to the deepest space
Just to fill it with my breath
The stars and I will celebrate
The fact that there's no vacuum left

Don't care if it's wrong
Don't care if it's right
I walk, I walk, yeah I walk the crooked and wide

Gonna turn every corner
Just to see what's around the bend
Yeah, I know I'm going n circles
I'm in no hurry to get to the end

Don't care if it's wrong Don't care if it's right
I walk, I walk, yeah I walk the crooked and wide

You can keep the straight and narrow
I won't take that well-worn path
Just the thought bores me to the marrow
I don't care about no-one's wrath

Don't care if it's wrong
Don't care if it's right
I walk, I walk, yeah I walk the crooked and wide

Sonic Infusion

Don't hand me that line about Transubstantiation
I'm not buyin' and I'm running out of patience
I can't afford to believe your kind of Truth

The Truth is plain to see, I'm a Sonic Transducer
Redirecting energies, I'm a shaker, I'm a mover
There aint nothing, no, I won't misuse

The time is right for Sonic Infusion
We can turn the tide with
Sonic Infusion
Permeate everything
Penetrate and pull the strings
It aint too late to make 'em sing
Sonic Infusion

They think we don't exist since we've become Translucent
They feel just what they miss and it adds to their confusion
They can't afford to believe our kind of Truth

Hidden from our enemies, intercepting their Transmissions
Rewriting History, transmitting our revisions
There ain't nothing, No, we won't misuse

The time is right for Sonic Infusion
We can turn the tide with
Sonic Infusion
Permeate everything
Penetrate and pull the strings
It aint too late to make 'em sing
Sonic Infusion
