I am smellin' like a rose
that somebody gave me on
my birthday deathbed
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me
'cause I'm dead and bloated
Yeah, she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peaks I start to run
You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'
You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'
I run through the world
thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I am trampled under sole of
another man's shoes
Guess I walked too softly
Oh yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run
You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'
You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'
2)Sex Type Thing
(Music by D. DeLeo, Kretz / Words by Weiland)
I am, I am, I am
I said I wanna get next to you
I said I gonna get next to you
You wouldn't want me have to
hurt you too?
I ain't, I ain't, I ain't
A buyin' into your apathy
I'm gonna learn ya my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity?
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know, I know, I know
I am a man, a man
I'll give ya somethin' that ya won't forget
I said ya shouldn't have worn that dress
I said ya shouldn't have worn that dress
Here I come, I come, I come
3)Wicked Garden
(Music by R. DeLeo, D. DeLeo / Words by Weiland)
Can you feel like a child?
Can you see what I want?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
Cause I'm alive
So alive now
I know the darkness blinds you
Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?
I wanna drink from your naked fountain
I can drown your sorrows
I'm gonna burn
Burn you to life now
Out of the dark that binds you
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Can you feel pain inside?
Can you love?
Can you cry?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
But I'm alive
So alive now
Out of the dark that blinds you
4)No Memory
(Music by D.DeLeo)
(instrumental)
5)Sin
(Music by R. DeLeo / Words by Weiland)
Holywater clouds my thinking
Sinking low now
Keep on drinking
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
You control me, soul you stole, mine
Wishful thinking
Six feet under
Down you go now, suffer long
Down you go now, sin make me strong
Dead by dreaming, sleep you steal, mine
Pools of cold sweat
Hatred burns me
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
Holywater clouds my thinking
Sinking low now
Keep on drinking
Feel what were my eyes
Sink into the holes in my eyes
My sins have made me blind
Sink into the holes in my eyes
Still shackled to the shadow
Still shackled to the shadow
That followed you...
6)Naked Sunday
(Music by R. DeLeo, D. DeLeo, Kretz, Weiland / Words by Weiland)
You're the fuel to the fire
You're the weapons of war
You're the irony of justice
And the father of law
I've been waiting for awhile to meet you
For the chance to shake your hand
To give you thanks for all the suffering you command
And when all is over and we return to dust
Who will be my judge and which one do I trust
Angst...
You're the champion of sorrow
You're the love and the pain
You're the fighter of evil
Yet you're one and the same
Been waiting awhile to meet you
For the chance to shake your hand
To give you thanks for all the suffering you command
And when all is over and we return to dust
Who will be my judge and which one do I trust?
Angst...
7)Creep
(Music by R. DeLeo / Words by Weiland, R. DeLeo)
Forward yesterday
Makes me wanna stay
What they said was real
Makes me wanna steal
Livin' under house
Guess I'm livin', I'm a mouse
All's I gots is time
Got no meaning, just a rhyme
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
Guess I like to steal
I'm half the man I used to be
This feeling as the dawn
It turns to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This feeling as the dawn
It turns to gray
Feelin' uninspired
Think I'll start a fire
Everybody run
Bobby's got a gun
Think you're kinda neat
Then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing
Guess I'll leave it up to me
8)Piece Of Pie
(Music by R. DeLeo / Words by Weiland)
I broke the breadline
Nobody knows
I walked the frontline
Still got far to go
I mixed the water
I drank the water
I broke the breadline
Don't wanna know
It's staring me down
Wearing a crown of apathy
I'm standing around
Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name
You know where to find me
I killed the manchild
I'll fast alone
I had the midwife
Naked and alone
I mixed the water
I drank the water
I killed the brainchild
I'll fast alone
Don't wanna let me be a man
Don't wanna lead me to your home
9)Plush
(Music by R. DeLeo / Words by Weiland, Kretz)
And I feel that time's a wasted go
So where ya going to tomorrow?
And I feel that these are lies to come
Would you even care?
And I feel it
And I feel it
Where ya going to tomorrow?
Where ya goin' with the mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?
And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray
Would you even care?
And I feel it
And she feels it
Where ya going to tomorrow?
Where ya goin' with the mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
10)Wet My Bed
(Weiland, R. DeLeo)
Hey everybody
Where did Mary go?
Where did Mary go?
And wheres my only cigarette?
Please think for me
I cant bear to
I'll just lie here for a while
Wet myself
Wet my bed
I readied it all for her, you know....
Clean Sheets
Incence
And Lots of fluffy pillows, now soiled
And wheres my cigarette?
Did you check the bathroom?
The bathtub?
She sleeps there sometimes
Water cleanses you know....
Washes dirt away, makes new
Maybr she, maybe she, maybe she swam away.....
11)Crackerman
(Music by R. DeLeo, Kretz / Words by Weiland)
Kickin' as I'm tryin' to sleep
got the mud beneath my shoes
Rubber band, rubberband
Gun in hand, gun in hand
I wanna use
Roamin', roamin', roam
Get away gotta get away
And I think I think too much
I don't care, yeah and I don't care
Trippin' as I'm thinkin'
'Bout a boy, his name was Sue
He's a man, he's a man
Crackerman, crackerman
He's a woman too
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinkin'
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinkin'
12)Where The River Goes
(Music by D. DeLeo, Kretz / Words by Weiland)
Yeah, I could hide in the calm of the eye of a storm
And never blow away
Well, I'm a young man with a knife to my back
Some things never seem to change
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside
Yeah, I wish I could live in the
dream that I fly on tarred & feathered wings
Well, I'm losing a game of reality
dice where the dealer never ever pays
I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes
Yeah, I could hide in the calm of the eye of a storm
And never blow away
Well, I'm a young man with a knife to my back
Some things never seem to change
If I was stronger
I could be a mountain range
If night was longer
Could I escape the day?
