Rape me
Rape me, my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one

I'm not the only one

I'm not the only one

I'm not the only one

Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me, my friend

I'm not the only one

Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's opened if you're true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Black of day, dark of night, we share this pair of lives
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Come lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?

Yeah
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you
Yeah
What I've felt, what I've known
So sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you
Oh, what I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you
Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known
I take this key (never free)
And I bury it (never me) in you
Because you're unforgiven too!

Never free
Never me
Because you're unforgiven too

I remembered black skies
the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
as time began to blur
Like a startling sign
that fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
to prove me wrong
to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
the distance in your eyes

Give me reason
to fill this hole
connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight
but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
between where we were standing

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
to prove me wrong
to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss
in every lie
In every truth that you'd deny
And each regret
and each goodbye
was a mistake to great to hide

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
to prove me wrong
to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Give me reason
to fill this hole
connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

Across this new divide
Across this new divide

I’m in hate - I am darkness
Homicidal I predate
She the prey – She the prayer
I the Evil incarnate

And her God - He will save her
Only when it’ll be too late
I’m in hate - I am Herod
And the innocent awaits

She looks at me
A sneer of sheer contempt
She looks like me
And a sudden shiver chills my heart
We’re forever - Till Death Do Us Part

Till Death Do Us Part

Till Death Do Us Part
            
I’m insane - torn asunder
Suicidal my checkmate
Am I her doppelganger
Or is she my duplicate?

Or is she my duplicate?

Or is she my duplicate?

She looks at me
I wait for her to blink
She laughs at me
And a sudden shot bolts through my heart
We are One - Till Death Do Us Part

Till Death Do Us Part

Till Death Do Us Part

Till Death Do Us Part

Till Death Do Us Part

Till Death Do Us Part

Turn it up I never wanna go home
I only wanna be part of your breakdown
She got caught by the four on the floor
It picked her up and she'll never get let down

And now I can't stop thinking about it
All you people at the top don't know nothing about it
We don't give a fuck what the price is
So just leave us to our own devices and we'll leave you alone

I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark when there's no one listening
In the times when we both get carried away
When we both get carried away

She says it all without a thought in her head
She says it all and she's pressed up against me
A little something just to take off the edge
A little more and I'll fall of the planet entirely

I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark when there's no one listening
In the times when we both get carried away
When we both get carried away

I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark when there's no one listening
In the times when we both get carried away

When we both get carried away
When we both get carried away
(I'll be there when your heart stops beating)
When we both get carried away
(In the dark when there's no one listening)
When we both get carried away

I hope you're feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all it seems
I wonder what you're doin' now
I wonder if you think of me at all
do you still play the same moves now
or are those special moods for someone else
I hope you're feeling happy now

just because you feel good
doesn't make you right, oh no
just because you feel good
still want you here tonight

does laughter still discover you
I see through all the smiles that look so right
do you still have the same friends now
to smoke away your problems and your life
and how do you remember me
the one that made you laugh until you cried
I hope you're feeling happy now

just because you feel good
doesn't make you right, oh no
just because you feel good
still want you here tonight, want you ...

oh no ...!

just because you feel good
doesn't make you right, oh no
just because you feel good
still want you here tonight, want you ...

just because you feel good
doesn't make you right, oh no
just because you feel good
still want you here tonight, want you ...

I wonder what you're doing now
I hope you're feeling happy now
I wonder what you're doing now
I hope you're feeling happy now

I sit around and watch the tube
But nothing's on
I change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fuckin' lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm goin' blind
And I smell like shit

Peel me off this velcro seat
And get me movin'
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feelin' like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from a summer street
I locked the door to my own cell
And I lost the key

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm goin' blind
And I smell like shit

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for the motivation
Smokin' my inspiration

I sit around and watch the phone
But no one's callin'
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost its fun
You're fuckin' lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm goin' blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
I'm trippin' away to paradise
Some say quit, or I'll go blind
But it's just a myth

It's so fucked I am here doing this
It's bullshit, things don't end like this

I'm calling,
Staring into this place,
Where I cease to exist,
Wondering, why do things always end up like this

Fly
Take to the sky another dream of empty
Lies
Of promises denied by a forgiving
God
Who eats his young you're nothing you fucking
Fraud
My belief was betrayed I lost my faith in you
Try
To understand the sorrow and the
Why
Of a light that should still be burning
Bright
The angel in flight with a dog by his
Side
When you took him away I lost my faith in even you!!

So run!...
Right...
Right back to school

Look back I sift through all the cliques
Roaming the halls all year making me sick
While everyone's out trying to make the cut
What
When you think you know me
Right
I switch it up
Behind the walls smokin cigarettes and sippin vodka
Hop a fence and catch a cab
Ain't no one can stop us
Give me a break on some other mess
While you act like it's everything you've got!

Push back the square
Now that you need her
but you don't
well there you go
Cuz back in school we are the leaders of it all

So stop that... quit... all that...
Quit
Who ruined it?
You did
Now grab a notebook and a pen
start taking notes on me and everyone who's on the top
You think we're on the same page
But know we're not
I'll be the man, watch your backpack, pens, and pencils
and just like Keith- I'm flippin it
While you just keep it simple
You just can't go on rockin' the clothes, copying the stance
cuz really it's everything that you're not!

Push back the square
Now that you need her
cuse you don't
well there you go
Cuz back in school
We are the leaders of all

So... transpose
Or stop your life
It's what you do
Transpose
Or stop your lies
So run
(So why don't you run)
(So why don't you run)
Right
(Now why don't you run)
Back to school
(So why don't you run)
(So why don't you run)

Cuz all you are - now I'm on the next page
All you are - It's time to close the book up
All you are
Now I'm on the next page
All you are
Close the book up now

Push back the square
Now that you need her
cuse you don't
well there you go
Cuz back in school
We are the leaders of all
So... transpose
Or stop your life
It's what you do
Transpose
Or stop your lies
So run
(So why don't you run)
(So why don't you run)
Right
(Now why don't you run)
Back to school
(So why don't you run)
(So why don't you run)

There's a wild wind blowing,
Down the corner of my street
Every night there the headlights are glowing.
Theres a cold war coming,
On the readio I heard
Baby it's a violent world

Oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow
I could hear it coming
I could hear the sirens sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground

Time came a-creepin'
Oh and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes o-o-on
Time only can lead you on
Still it's such a beautiful night

Oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow
I could hear it coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground

Gravity release me,
And don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you, And all you know, And how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around,
Always looking down at all I see

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall.
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously.
"I didn't do it," he says, and he throws up his hands
"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand.
I saw them leavin'," he says, and he stops
"One of us had better call up the cops."
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New Jersey night.

Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around.
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that.
In Paterson that's just the way things go.
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you wanna draw the heat.

Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops.
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates."
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head.
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead"
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men.

Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in,
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs.
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"
Yes, here's the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Four months later, the ghettos are in flame,
Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame.
"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"
"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"
"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"
"Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night?"
"Don't forget that you are white."

Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure."
Cops said, "A poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow.
You'll be doin' society a favor.
That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver.
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim."

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much.
It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail.
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.

All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
And though they could not produce the gun,
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed.

Rubin Carter was falsely tried.
The crime was murder "one," guess who testified?
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game.

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell.
That's the story of the Hurricane,
But it won't be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he's done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come vedi sono qua:
monta su, non ci avranno
finchè questo cuore non creperà
di ruggine, di botte o di età.
C'è una notte tiepida
e un vecchio blues
da fare insieme,
in qualche posto accosterò
e quella là sarà la nostra casa, ma
credo che meriti di piu'
ma intanto son qua io
e ti offro di ballarci su:
è una canzone di cent'anni almeno.
Urlando contro il cielo.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Non saremo delle star
ma siam noi, con questi giorni
fatti di ore andate per
un weekend e un futuro che non c'è.
Non si può sempre perdere
per cui giochiamoci
certe luci non puoi spegnerle.
Se è un purgatorio è nostro perlomeno.
Urlando contro il cielo.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Fantasmi sulla A quattordici.
Dai finestrini passa odor di mare, diesel,
merda, morte e vi-ta.
Il patto è stringerci di piu'
prima di perderci.
Forse ci sentono lassu'.
è un pò come sputare via il veleno.
Urlando contro il cielo.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
