Temple of The Dog

1) ALONE ("Go" B-side)

Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't...
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower
She's standing naked and apologizing
Reaches for her `till his mind becomes blood hot
Woken up to be burned, burned, again...
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
I wanna breathe and I said
I can't take it any other way

On the streets he's walkin', wounded
Doesn't smile for the child at play
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coals
Does he fly away or just talk about it
Like a seagull born to cry in the wind
All experiences lead to a young girl
Alone you will meet the one who lies in wait
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
Try to breathe, but you can't
You can't take it any other way, yeah, yeah...

...Myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, myself
I can help myself, don't talk to me (3x)
I can help myself, myself...

...Myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself

Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't...

2) ANGEL (1993 X-mas single)
Like an angel, fly over your house
Like an angel, pass out wishes
Like an angel, I will move the arrow
Like an angel, I live alone
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am close but can't enjoy
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm so tortured, 'cause I see all
Tortured, and all I cannot do
Tortured, all I should have done
Tortured, while I occupied a man
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am far from glorified
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm not alone
Mine is not a celestial state with idle hymns of praise
Time is short, I have an appointment at noon, at noon in Hell
Across the waste of space and fields of air I glide, alone at night
Oh please, please think of me, 'cause I'm, I'm by your side
I'm by your side, I'm by your side, oh...
I'm...I'm right in front of you...I'm by your side...

3) BREATH ("Singles" soundtrack)
Oh, tonight began with anything
Shadows, a light, a warm breath and a scream, ah yeah...
Oh, tamper if you like between the doors, oh yeah...huh...huh...
Oh, can't expect to go out...to go out...
With anything...anything more...
Oh, reach the door...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door
And a nada lada yeah...
Life ain't what it's worth...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door

All these reaching hands out grabbin' things, grabbin' me
Day in, day out, accumulating, ah yeah
Whoa, I suggest you step out on your porch
Oh yeah, huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah...
Run away my son, to see it all...oh, see the world
Oh, reach the door...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door
Oh, and a nada lada yeah...
Life ain't what it's worth...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door

Come...here it comes...there it goes...when it comes...
Where it goes...where it comes...can't see through the faith...
Ooh, come...here it comes...there it goes, grasp what you can...
Don't you know there's something inside your hand, yeah...

Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there...
There's much more than this, ooh...whoa, much more than this
Oh, see the world...much more than, oh...

Much more than...
Why?

4) CRAZY MARY (Victoria Williams) (from "Sweet Relief")
She lived on a curve in the road, in an old, tar-paper shack
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say:
'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary

Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place
That old blue car we used to race
Little country store with a sign tacked to the side
Said 'No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G Allowed'
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)

One night thunder cracked, mercy backed outside her windowsill
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary
Terrible thoughts, newspaper-covered walls, and Mary rising up above it all

Next morning on the way into town
Saw some skid marks and followed them around
Over the curve, through the fields, into the house of Mary
That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway (2x)
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)

5) DIRTY FRANK ("Even Flow" B-side)
Dirty Frank Dahmer, he's a gourmet cook, yeah
I got a recipe for famous ankle soup, yeah
Wanted a pass, so she relaxed...
Now the little groupie's getting chopped up in the back
I Got a cupboard full of fleshy fresh ingredients
A very careful at the same time quite expedient
Eats meat, a release...
Bus driving's harder on your head than on your feet
Dirty frank  (4x)

Keeps it clean, a keeps it copaseptic
A little boys and girls, their heads are all collected
A not crazy, a per se...
Just a little strange, when he gets hungry
City, state, your town, he will continue
A stadiums, tiny clubs, every venue
His bus, your trust...
There goes another turned into crust
Dirty frank...a Dirty Frank, yeah...  (2x)
Yeah...oh, watch it...

Why that dirty Frank was a bad mother...Shut your mouth!
Hey man, I'm just talking about dirty Frank

Middle of the night, we're stopped, the freeway shoulder
A Frank's shoveling to bury the leftovers
They're sunk, he's drunk...
Now he's gonna drive, I'm hiding in my bunk, oh...
The band all knows, we're too afraid to mention
Don't want to be part of frank's luncheon
A-lose weight, a-be safe...
Where's Mike McCready?
My god, he's been ate!
Dirty frank...a Dirty Frank, yeah...  (2x)       } (2x)
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, yeah                         }

Dirty Frank...a Dirty Frank, yeah...  (2x)
Dirty Frank  (8x)
OK, I think that's enough...

6) FOOTSTEPS (Rockline, 5/11/92) ("Jeremy" B-side)
Don't even think about reachin' me, I won't be home
Don't even think about stoppin' by, don't think of me at all
I did, what I had to do, if there was a reason, it was you...

Aah...don't even think about gettin' inside
Voices in me head...ooh, voices
I got scratches, all over my arms
One for each day, since I fell apart
I did...oh, what I had to do, if there was a reason, it was you

Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you...oh...
Pictures on my chest, it was you, it was you...

Hey...I did, what I had to do...oh, and if there was a reason
Oh, there wasn't no reason, no
And if, there's something you'd like to do
Just let me continue, to blame you

Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you...oh...
Pictures on my chest, it was you, you...oh...

L2L) F!*#IN' UP (Neil Young cover, Live on Two Legs, 1998)
Lonely drifter on the hill

They must have a heart of steel 
...why do I...
It's how you look, and but you feel
...why do I... 
You must have a heart of steel. 
...why do I...
       
Why do I keep fuckin' up? 
       
I can see you on a hill 
...why do I...
Comatose but walking still
...why do I... 
Flowin' curves beneath your flowing gown 
...why do I... 
Only I can bring myself down.
...why do I... 
       
Why do I keep fuckin' up? 
       
Dogs that lick and dogs that bite
...why do I... 
Dogs that howl through the night
...why do I... 
Broken leashes, all over the floor
...why do I... 
Keys left hanging in a swinging door.
...why do I... 
       
Why do I keep fuckin' up?

9) HISTORY NEVER REPEATS (Split Enz) (1995 X-mas Single)
(EV w/ Neil & Tim Finn - Auckland, New Zealand - 3/25/95)
History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep...
Don't say the words you might regret
I lost before, you know I can't forget...

There was a girl I used to know...
Well, she dealt my love a savage blow...
And I was so young, too blind to see...
But anyway, that's history...

And I say, history never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep...
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart...

You say I always play the fool...
I can't go on if that's the rule...
Better to jump than hesitate...
I need a change and I can't wait...

I say...
History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep...
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart...heart...

Never repeats...whoa...

History never repeats
History never re...
Deep in the night it's all so clear...
I lie awake with great ideas...
Lurking about in no man's land...
I think at last I understand...

History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep...
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart...

Yeah!

10) I GOT ID (from the "MerkinBall" single)
My lips are shakin', my nails are bit off
Been a month since I've heard myself talk
All the advantage this life's got on me
Picture a cup in the middle of the sea

And I fight back in my mind...
Never let's me be right, oh...
I got memories, I got shit
So much it don't show...

I walked the line
When you held me in that night
I walked the line
When you held my hand that night...

An empty shell seems so easy to crack
Got all these questions, don't know who I could even ask
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

And I'll stay in a bed
Oh, goodbye, I've seen him
If just once, I could feel loved
Oh, stare back at me, yeah...

But I walked the line
When you held me in that night
Oh, I walked the line
When you held my hand that night
Oh, I walked the line
Whne you held me close at night
I paid the price, never held you in real life...

Cold wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost, nowhere to go
Oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time

Flowered winds was where I lived
Thought you burned, not froze for your sins

It's not like wings have fallen, cannot stay           
But still something's missing, cannot say, yeah...            
                                                       
Holding hands are daughters and sons                   
And their faiths just falling down, down, down, down...    
I have wished for so long                              
How I wish for you today

(EV & Terry Presley, Las Vegas, Nevada, 11/30/93)
And out isn't perfect
My friends, I'll say it too
Stay my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life as full
I've traveled each and every highway
Oh, and more, as more gets...
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But they're too few to mention
I did what I had
It's all through without exemption
I play each charted course
I've traveled each and every byway
And more, much more than this...
I did it my way...

Well twice, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
I knew it all, without a doubt
I ate it up and I had to spit it out
I passed it on, and I stood tall
And I did it my way...

Out of my mind...
Out of my mind, yeah...
Oh, once inside, I'm out of my mind...out...
Out of my mind...
Out of my mind, yeah...
Oh, once inside, I'm out of my mind...

Wish you could help me, give me a pill
A-just a little drink that I could swill
A little something, anything, anything, I'll try all...

I ain't got nowhere to go from here
I'm just about this far from drowning in my very own tears
Out of my mind, yeah...
Out of my mind...
Oh, once inside, I'm out of my mind, yeah...
Out of my mind, yeah...
Out of my mind...

I don't feel so hot...
Out of my mind...

Where do I go?  Where do I stay?
I got no place to lay in the hay
Where do I go to soothe my head?
Guess I'll turn on music instead
Where do I see?  Where do I shine?
No one wants to take my mind...
Where do I go?  How do I feel?
Guess I'll waste away in here

Out of my mind...  (11x)
Out of my mind every single time...

17) SONIC REDUCER (Dead Boys) (1992 X-mas single)

18) STATE OF LOVE AND TRUST ("Singles" soundtrack)
Oh...
State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Sin still plays and preaches,  but to have an empty court, uh huh
And the signs are passin', grip the wheel, can't read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands...hands...yeah
And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself

Lay her down as priest does, should the Lord be a countin'
Will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully quick, uh huh
Promises are whispered in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end, end, yeah...
And the barrel shakes, and, a-directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen, from both sides of a friend
Nothin', I'll do this one myself

(Stone, Jeff, Stevie Turner, Mark McLaughlin & Chuck Treece)
She looked at me with dignity, said...
"There's something you got to see...
If you know we're headed for war
This country's prouder than ever before...
Yes, there's a spirit in the air
We're more American than anywhere..."
Well I just smiled, 'cause I could tell
This little girl's going to Hell...

Now I wouldn't mind
If you swallowed my pride
Would make me feel alright
Deep inside, feel alright...

All the warmth in her heart
Can't keep my blood from running cold
Keep my blood from running cold
First I fell for her looks
Now I just wanna go for the throat
I tried to tell her a hundred times
This little girl didn't understand at all
Pride comes before a fall...

Now I wouldn't mind
If you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright
Deep inside, feel alright...
Ohhh...

This ain't the Garden of Eden
This ain't the summer of love
Things ain't what they used to be
There ain't no angels above
Whoa...

Ain't the Garden of Eden
Ain't no angels above
Things ain't what they used to be
This ain't the summer of love

L2L) Untitled (Live on Two Legs, 1998)

20) WASH ("Alive" B-side)
Oh please, let it rain today
This city is so filthy, like my mind in ways
Oh, was a time, like a clean, new taste
Smiling eyes before me, inches from my face
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah...

Sin to sell, buying just a need
Just who planted, all the devils seeds
And what the truth, and the truth that lies at home
It's on the inside, and I can't get it off, yeah...
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah...

What's clean is pure, but hey, I'm white on the outside, though I stray
What she don't know today, might kill us both tomorrow, bring it back someway
Bring it back, bring it back, back to the clean form, to the pure form
Wash my love (8x)
Ooh...

21) YELLOW LEDBETTER ("Jeremy" B-side)
Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
