For My Friends Lyrics – Blind Melon
I remember we used to sit out back and drink until the morning light
Always bummin' smokes and talking trash about the pleasure we had
Summers come and gone
And the winter needs a song
And I guess I keep movin' along in a ride that I have in my head
Ride that I have in my head
Oh we used to drop some pills and sing til we lose our voice
Chasing our dreams, we tried to put em' in a bag and save em' for another day yeah
Oh I feel,these memories are real
Times you can't steal
For the love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
I just can pretend I need you
You ain't no other love I never had
Soon you will find my log
Its a beat that will never stop
Its the loneliest time apart
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Always bummin' smokes and talking trash about the pleasure we had
Summers come and gone
And the winter needs a song
And I guess I keep movin' along in a ride that I have in my head
Ride that I have in my head
Oh we used to drop some pills and sing til we lose our voice
Chasing our dreams, we tried to put em' in a bag and save em' for another day yeah
Oh I feel,these memories are real
Times you can't steal
For the love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
I just can pretend I need you
You ain't no other love I never had
Soon you will find my log
Its a beat that will never stop
Its the loneliest time apart
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
With The Right Set Of Eyes Lyrics – Blind Melon
You've been on your own since you learned how to adjust to
You felt like you had to baby sit your owners just to feel like all the others
All you wanted was...
Something that was normal and stable
You've always been so aware and so able
But you still seem so far away
It's difficult to enjoy all the holidays
It's nothing more than the same as the other days
But you can't feel any other way
You have to tell yourself why
Gotta keep your spirit alive
Gotta keep yourself movin' forward
You never gave into anything around you
With something you could never afford
All you wanted was
Something that was normal and stable
You've always been so aware and so able
But you still seem so far away
It's difficult to enjoy all the holidays
It's nothing more than the same as the other days
But you can't feel any other way
When you wish for this
You'll ditch everything else
It just floats away and crawls out your skull
All you wanna do is crawl inside your hole
Disappear forever
Something that's normal and stable
You've always been so aware and so able
But you still seem so far away
It's difficult to enjoy all the holidays
It's nothing more than the same as the other days
But you can't feel any other way
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
You felt like you had to baby sit your owners just to feel like all the others
All you wanted was...
Something that was normal and stable
You've always been so aware and so able
But you still seem so far away
It's difficult to enjoy all the holidays
It's nothing more than the same as the other days
But you can't feel any other way
You have to tell yourself why
Gotta keep your spirit alive
Gotta keep yourself movin' forward
You never gave into anything around you
With something you could never afford
All you wanted was
Something that was normal and stable
You've always been so aware and so able
But you still seem so far away
It's difficult to enjoy all the holidays
It's nothing more than the same as the other days
But you can't feel any other way
When you wish for this
You'll ditch everything else
It just floats away and crawls out your skull
All you wanna do is crawl inside your hole
Disappear forever
Something that's normal and stable
You've always been so aware and so able
But you still seem so far away
It's difficult to enjoy all the holidays
It's nothing more than the same as the other days
But you can't feel any other way
Forever
Forever

Wishing Well Lyrics – Blind Melon
When you fall back down
And you lost your crown
Get back up, walk around
Turn that frown upside down
Take my hand once again
We will all understand
Help you find a new plan
Whoooooa
It's time to help you
Get you back on your feet and on your way
If the tables were turned around
I know you'd be there for me
It all works out
Don't get lost and forget
Turn the lights off and rest
Don't you worry no more
Heal your pain and your sores
We'll be there when you wake
No more sweat or the shakes
Feel the love if you can
Lost your mind, feel insane
Whoooooa
You're feeling hopeless
And all your dreams have gone away
Take the time to heal your sorrows
And disappear from the world
Live for tomorrow
Hope you changed your ways
There's not much more to say
When the dark turns to gray
Broken hearts fade away
Whoooooa
It's time to help you
And get you back on your feet and on your way
If the tables were turned around
I know you'd be there for me
It all works out
And i hope that it all works out [x5]
And you lost your crown
Get back up, walk around
Turn that frown upside down
Take my hand once again
We will all understand
Help you find a new plan
Whoooooa
It's time to help you
Get you back on your feet and on your way
If the tables were turned around
I know you'd be there for me
It all works out
Don't get lost and forget
Turn the lights off and rest
Don't you worry no more
Heal your pain and your sores
We'll be there when you wake
No more sweat or the shakes
Feel the love if you can
Lost your mind, feel insane
Whoooooa
You're feeling hopeless
And all your dreams have gone away
Take the time to heal your sorrows
And disappear from the world
Live for tomorrow
Hope you changed your ways
There's not much more to say
When the dark turns to gray
Broken hearts fade away
Whoooooa
It's time to help you
And get you back on your feet and on your way
If the tables were turned around
I know you'd be there for me
It all works out
And i hope that it all works out [x5]
Sometimes Lyrics – Blind Melon
There's a price you will pay when you're on top of the world
Oh, when everyone wants to be your friend or companion
There's a fine line between your own heaven and hell
Oh, when everything goes your way, you still feel abandoned
Sometimes, nothing's better than something
Sometimes, you're better off lonely
Why is it when times are good, everyone sticks around
But when things start to go the other way,
They split and forget you
My own philosophy has been good to me
I try to stay to myself and don't get caught in the shit storm
Sometimes, nothing's better than something
Sometimes, you're better off lonely
And my airplane is taking off slowly
Most of the time I really don't mind
It's pointless to waste all of my time thinking about this shit
I spend most of my days trying to unwind and forget about it
I still worry if you're ok
I still wonder if you're the same…
Remember when times were good and so simple-minded
And then somewhere along the way we lost all connections
When you strip away, all that's left is a guilty conscience
If I took a guess, I would bet you think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Sometimes, nothing's better than something
Sometimes, you're better off lonely
My heart is stranded and frozen
And my airplane is taking off slowly
Most of the time I really don't mind
It's pointless to waste all of my time, thinking about this shit
I spend most of my days trying to unwind and forget about it
I still worry if you're ok
I still wonder if you're the same…
Oh, when everyone wants to be your friend or companion
There's a fine line between your own heaven and hell
Oh, when everything goes your way, you still feel abandoned

Tumblin Down Lyrics – Blind Melon
I went drivin' today
Couldn't help but think of how
You're with somebody else
And now you've got a child
It's been a few years
Since I saw you last
I know you're doin' fine
You don't miss the broken glass
Well I won't waste your time
So I won't come around
I didn't mean to make you cry
I just wanted to make you proud
But it all come tumblin' down
Well it all comes tumblin' down
Yes it all comes tumblin' down
Whenever you're around
Through the years
We tried to make it work
It'd start with a yellin' match
And end up gettin' hurt
And now you're gone
I've changed my shallow ways
I hoped you'd get to see them
But you will never know
Somedays
I miss the noise we used to make
And then I stop and think
That I ain't ever goin' back
Cause it all comes tumblin' down
Yes it all comes tumblin' down
Well it all comes tumblin' down
Whenever you're around
Please don't forget about what we've had or lost
I'll take it everywhere I go from here on out
I know you'll do the same
Whatever life you make
Couldn't help but think of how
You're with somebody else
And now you've got a child
It's been a few years
Since I saw you last
I know you're doin' fine
You don't miss the broken glass
Well I won't waste your time
So I won't come around
I didn't mean to make you cry
I just wanted to make you proud
But it all come tumblin' down
Well it all comes tumblin' down
Yes it all comes tumblin' down
Whenever you're around
Through the years
We tried to make it work
It'd start with a yellin' match
And end up gettin' hurt
And now you're gone
I've changed my shallow ways
I hoped you'd get to see them
But you will never know
Somedays
I miss the noise we used to make
And then I stop and think
That I ain't ever goin' back
Cause it all comes tumblin' down
Yes it all comes tumblin' down
Well it all comes tumblin' down
Whenever you're around
Please don't forget about what we've had or lost
I'll take it everywhere I go from here on out
I know you'll do the same
Whatever life you make
Down On The Pharmacy Lyrics – Blind Melon
You're fooling no one but yourself
You finally made it to your own hell
It took the bottom to shake your will
You forgot to love and forgot to feel
They locked you up, you're scratching the ceiling
You're down on your knees, you're praying for something
You're looking real high, (line to live for?)
What do you do and where do you go now
I know a place for you to hide
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
You've been strung out for awhile
I know that you know that we know you know
You're living a story that's already been made
You're burning the pages that you keep fading
The more you keep hiding the more we keep fighting
The less you keep trying, the sooner you're dying
The more that you give up, the more that you give back
The cleaner that you get, the sweeter that life is
The sooner that you know, the sooner the shit flows
Ya got to give it up now, ya gotta let it rest
The time is right now, you know it's right
It's time that you tear down that wall inside
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
Please forgive me, please forgive me.......
You never think it will ever turn out the way it does when you start out
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
Lah, lah, lah-da, lah-da-da
Please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me...
You finally made it to your own hell
It took the bottom to shake your will
You forgot to love and forgot to feel
They locked you up, you're scratching the ceiling
You're down on your knees, you're praying for something
You're looking real high, (line to live for?)
What do you do and where do you go now
I know a place for you to hide
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
You've been strung out for awhile
I know that you know that we know you know
You're living a story that's already been made
You're burning the pages that you keep fading
The more you keep hiding the more we keep fighting
The less you keep trying, the sooner you're dying
The more that you give up, the more that you give back
The cleaner that you get, the sweeter that life is
The sooner that you know, the sooner the shit flows
Ya got to give it up now, ya gotta let it rest
The time is right now, you know it's right
It's time that you tear down that wall inside
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
Please forgive me, please forgive me.......
You never think it will ever turn out the way it does when you start out
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
Lah, lah, lah-da, lah-da-da
Please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me...
Make A Difference Lyrics – Blind Melon
I've got peace on my mind a pistol full of insistence
Enough blood to fill a lake, but does it make a difference?
Tolerance was the sermon
No matter how dubious
The fundamental thinking just turned so malicious
There's a few people spinning gold
Some just try to save their soul
But I wonder what to do
Money bills and secret guns
I know i can't help everyone
But I can take on one or two
That's what I'll do
Ive got to pick a god so many of them to witness
Did I follow the right one?
Does it make a difference?
Inside there's a substance
Fuel for my pennance
The whole world is hurtin' bad
Can i make a difference?
There's a few people spinnin' gold
Some just try to save their soul
But I wonder what to do
Money bills and secret guns
I know i can't help everyone
But I can take on one or two
That's what I'll do
It's beautiful in the world
It's beautiful in the world
Yeah
A few people spinnin' gold
Some just try to save their soul
But I wonder what to do
Money bills and secret guns
I know i can't help everyone
But I can take on one or two
That's what I'll do
Enough blood to fill a lake, but does it make a difference?
Tolerance was the sermon
No matter how dubious
The fundamental thinking just turned so malicious
There's a few people spinning gold
Some just try to save their soul
But I wonder what to do
Money bills and secret guns
I know i can't help everyone
But I can take on one or two
That's what I'll do
Ive got to pick a god so many of them to witness
Did I follow the right one?
Does it make a difference?
Inside there's a substance
Fuel for my pennance
The whole world is hurtin' bad
Can i make a difference?
There's a few people spinnin' gold
Some just try to save their soul
But I wonder what to do
Money bills and secret guns
I know i can't help everyone
But I can take on one or two
That's what I'll do
It's beautiful in the world
It's beautiful in the world
Yeah
A few people spinnin' gold
Some just try to save their soul
But I wonder what to do
Money bills and secret guns
I know i can't help everyone
But I can take on one or two
That's what I'll do
Harmful Belly Lyrics – Blind Melon
Scratch my eyes out for you
Strap dynamite to my side
Shed a carcass for you
I'll empty out my soul
I'm begging you just give me a chance
Stick with me and we'll see the rest
Oh I'm paralyzed
I'll carve your name here in my chest
Kill for you and nothing less
I'll burn alive no second thoughts
Just to hear your scratchy voice
Rain is falling from your face
Drink the rest it still remains on you
It feels so good it starts to hurt
Hurts so bad it starts to burn
I'll frame your eyes here on my wall
Feel your love when you are gone
It makes me sad when you are sad
I feel down when you are down
I'm begging you just give me a chance
Stick with me and we'll see the rest
Rain is falling from your face
Drink the rest it still remains on you
It feels so good it starts to hurt
Hurts so bad it starts to burn
Why would you ever change?
It's a mystery
Hell would finally come apart
You would hurt and see
You're the reason I came like I'm all worked up again
Rain is falling from your face
Drink the rest it still remains on you
It feels so good it starts to hurt
Hurts so bad it starts to burn
Strap dynamite to my side
Shed a carcass for you
I'll empty out my soul
I'm begging you just give me a chance
Stick with me and we'll see the rest
Oh I'm paralyzed
I'll carve your name here in my chest
Kill for you and nothing less
I'll burn alive no second thoughts
Just to hear your scratchy voice
Rain is falling from your face
Drink the rest it still remains on you
It feels so good it starts to hurt
Hurts so bad it starts to burn
I'll frame your eyes here on my wall
Feel your love when you are gone
It makes me sad when you are sad
I feel down when you are down
I'm begging you just give me a chance
Stick with me and we'll see the rest
Rain is falling from your face
Drink the rest it still remains on you
It feels so good it starts to hurt
Hurts so bad it starts to burn
Why would you ever change?
It's a mystery
Hell would finally come apart
You would hurt and see
You're the reason I came like I'm all worked up again
Rain is falling from your face
Drink the rest it still remains on you
It feels so good it starts to hurt
Hurts so bad it starts to burn
Last Laugh Lyrics – Blind Melon
You didn't wake up before you hit the ground
I didn't stay up long enough to see you falling
You never asked for the world but then
You jumped from the rooftop
Because you had to have the last laugh
Look where you are
Look where you are now
Look where you are
I heard you say
Everyday above ground was a good one
You never see her
Hair in braids and blue eyes
Because we didn't try hard enough
She's still waiting to hear you sing
A song for her
You jumped from the rooftop
She still asks me
Where are you now, Where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground was a good one
I want to live so much that I am going to die
I want to run so fast that I am going to fall
I probably said it once before I apologize
This will be the last time
This will be the last time
Where are you now, Where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground
Where are you now, where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground,
Everyday above ground
Was a good one.
I didn't stay up long enough to see you falling
You never asked for the world but then
You jumped from the rooftop
Because you had to have the last laugh
Look where you are
Look where you are now
Look where you are
I heard you say
Everyday above ground was a good one
You never see her
Hair in braids and blue eyes
Because we didn't try hard enough
She's still waiting to hear you sing
A song for her
You jumped from the rooftop
She still asks me
Where are you now, Where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground was a good one
I want to live so much that I am going to die
I want to run so fast that I am going to fall
I probably said it once before I apologize
This will be the last time
This will be the last time
Where are you now, Where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground
Where are you now, where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground,
Everyday above ground
Was a good one.
Hypnotize Lyrics – Blind Melon
What would you do if I told you
You wouldn't have to worry anymore
Throw all your scars in the ocean.
Sink to the floor and disappear forever
Dreaming that's got me by this far
Without it I'd be lost in the wind
Some days I can't get out of my own bed
Others I play along instead
It's been a long time since I forgot about all my crimes
Walk away from all that drags me down
Soon I think I'll get hypnotized
And start a new life
No long delays, don't hesitate, no complicated scenarios
Let's get right on down to the point
Don't hold me down, right to the ground, let's get unwound and lose that frown
So much more than we live for
You got fast forward through all of the bullshit times
You got to clear out the dust for room to breathe
Stay away from all negativity
That'll bring you down
Don't let the good sink in to deep in your soul
You've got to get outside
It's never too late to make a change in your life
And to feel alright
You've got to get rid of the old
And bring the new right on in
Don't pretend
Oh give in
And just get it done
You wouldn't have to worry anymore
Throw all your scars in the ocean.
Sink to the floor and disappear forever
Dreaming that's got me by this far
Without it I'd be lost in the wind
Some days I can't get out of my own bed
Others I play along instead
It's been a long time since I forgot about all my crimes
Walk away from all that drags me down
Soon I think I'll get hypnotized
And start a new life
No long delays, don't hesitate, no complicated scenarios
Let's get right on down to the point
Don't hold me down, right to the ground, let's get unwound and lose that frown
So much more than we live for
You got fast forward through all of the bullshit times
You got to clear out the dust for room to breathe
Stay away from all negativity
That'll bring you down
Don't let the good sink in to deep in your soul
You've got to get outside
It's never too late to make a change in your life
And to feel alright
You've got to get rid of the old
And bring the new right on in
Don't pretend
Oh give in
And just get it done
Father Time Lyrics – Blind Melon
Have you heard about the mice
They're makin love they're growin up
They made it back to circle us
Have you heard about the snake
He figured that'd he'd shed his skin
Slide away, again, begin
It's easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There's no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay
Do you think you look like hell
It's hard to hug you from a shell
Give it up for the snail
It's not easy for the bee's
They pack a knife, to the job
They try to keep from getting robbed
It's easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There's no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay
Human heart (?) is that a crush
Father time looks over us
You'll miss it all if you rush
Did you listen to the doors
It waits around without a sound
So gather round so listen whoooooaoaaaaaoaoooaoaoa
It's easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There's no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay [repeat]
They're makin love they're growin up
They made it back to circle us
Have you heard about the snake
He figured that'd he'd shed his skin
Slide away, again, begin
It's easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There's no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay
Do you think you look like hell
It's hard to hug you from a shell
Give it up for the snail
It's not easy for the bee's
They pack a knife, to the job
They try to keep from getting robbed
It's easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There's no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay
Human heart (?) is that a crush
Father time looks over us
You'll miss it all if you rush
Did you listen to the doors
It waits around without a sound
So gather round so listen whoooooaoaaaaaoaoooaoaoa
It's easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There's no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay [repeat]
So High Lyrics – Blind Melon
Does it ever seem like you're living in a story someone else wrote
Everything you've done was all scripted out
Getting thrown in all directions but the path I want isn't there
I was told it's a few steps away
I could die in the sky and
Leave this world behind
I'd get so high
Live free
Have you ever felt like someone was watching you with no eyes
You try to spot them out but they all hide
Oh well I'm standing on a tower of endless thinking
Oh would you like to have a thought with me
Oh and the world seems like one big buzz of peace
We'll be floating on below
What would it take for me to find a way to survive
A cut so deep it shows the other side
I could die in the sky and
Leave this world behind
I'd get so high
Live free
And the world seems like one big buzz of peace
We'll be floating on the love
If Lennon was here he would sing this part
If Lennon was here he would sing this part
Everything you've done was all scripted out
Getting thrown in all directions but the path I want isn't there
I was told it's a few steps away
I could die in the sky and
Leave this world behind
I'd get so high
Live free
Have you ever felt like someone was watching you with no eyes
You try to spot them out but they all hide
Oh well I'm standing on a tower of endless thinking
Oh would you like to have a thought with me
Oh and the world seems like one big buzz of peace
We'll be floating on below
What would it take for me to find a way to survive
A cut so deep it shows the other side
I could die in the sky and
Leave this world behind
I'd get so high
Live free
And the world seems like one big buzz of peace
We'll be floating on the love
If Lennon was here he would sing this part
If Lennon was here he would sing this part
Cheetum Street Lyrics – Blind Melon
It was late one night in Southern Texas
My dad was playing in a rock-n-roll band
He took me along to a place called Cheatem Street
My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time
Oh but a phone call would have been nice
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
And the world couldn't change my spirit
This will remain the same
You were young and living like you wanted to
I understand because I packed up and left just like you did
At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands
Oh in so many ways you did
I don't want to have you worry no more
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
So we can move on
I want you to know I really needed you then
And I can use you now
I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs
I would sit along side of the fence
Now you're doing fine and you're gigging here and there
It's been nice to know you for the past few years
When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure
Ohhh it could have turned out so different
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
And the world couldn't change my spirit
This will remain forever
I don't want to have you worry no more
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
So we can move on
My dad was playing in a rock-n-roll band
He took me along to a place called Cheatem Street
My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time
Oh but a phone call would have been nice
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
And the world couldn't change my spirit
This will remain the same
You were young and living like you wanted to
I understand because I packed up and left just like you did
At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands
Oh in so many ways you did
I don't want to have you worry no more
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
So we can move on
I want you to know I really needed you then
And I can use you now
I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs
I would sit along side of the fence
Now you're doing fine and you're gigging here and there
It's been nice to know you for the past few years
When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure
Ohhh it could have turned out so different
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
And the world couldn't change my spirit
This will remain forever
I don't want to have you worry no more
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
So we can move on
Life Ain't So Shitty Lyrics – Blind Melon
Life ain't so shitty
There's a lot that you can be
And ain't it a pity
But its alright to smile back at me

Pull Lyrics – Blind Melon
Pull you down now
Knees knelt, I got my arms open wide
I got the shades turned, so the colors die
No, don't hold too tight to the reel
Cause it's a big one boy
Its' gonna pull you down now
Pull you down now
No, the cook can't look
No, no cause he's keeping his eye on the kettle
In deed he will be around
When you or you or you feel the need to feel
Pull you down now
Well I live more than what you'll ever know
But I'll give you more than what I'll ever show
I live more than what you'll ever know
And I give you more that what I'll ever show
More than I'll ever show
Knees knelt, I got my arms open wide
I got the shades turned, so the colors die
No, don't hold too tight to the reel
Cause it's a big one boy
Its' gonna pull you down now
Pull you down now
No, the cook can't look
No, no cause he's keeping his eye on the kettle
In deed he will be around
When you or you or you feel the need to feel
Pull you down now
Well I live more than what you'll ever know
But I'll give you more than what I'll ever show
I live more than what you'll ever know
And I give you more that what I'll ever show
More than I'll ever show
Letters From A Porcupine Lyrics – Blind Melon
Underlying
Oh, so more important here
Any kind
Oh, what ever shakes a thrill
Mark my face
The air is really heavy now
I pledge allegiance
So God why don't you come on over here
D - I - E - D
Oh, that's what has happened to you
G - R - E - E - D
Well, there is nothing more to take
Pour the red wine
Watch the news, maybe ventilate
I pledge allegiance
So laddy why don't you come on over here
Letters from the porcupine
They'll stick straight through you
So read one anytime
You think you've made mistakes
Now we'll wait for later
Maybe the next in line will be
Someone who's Daddy's blood
Ran out next to Bush and it be him
Oh, so more important here
Any kind

Ran out next to Bush and it be him
The Pusher Lyrics – Blind Melon
Snow flakes rolling over my car, goose bumbing weather
If I'm hungry at 4:30 in the morning,
Pink dot will deliver
And I'm oh so tired of you pushing that thorny crown
Down onto my head so hard,
My knees are two inches in the ground
And I said, God damn, God damn that Bible pushin' man
You know I smoked a lot of grass and I've popped a lot of pills
But I've never done nothing that my spirit couldn't kill
And I walk around with these tombstones in my eyes
But I know the pusher don't care, if you live or if you die
And I said, God damn, God damn that Bible pushin' man
Godamn, Godamn, Godamn, Godamn, God damn
If I'm hungry at 4:30 in the morning,
Pink dot will deliver
And I'm oh so tired of you pushing that thorny crown
Down onto my head so hard,
My knees are two inches in the ground
And I said, God damn, God damn that Bible pushin' man
You know I smoked a lot of grass and I've popped a lot of pills
But I've never done nothing that my spirit couldn't kill
And I walk around with these tombstones in my eyes
But I know the pusher don't care, if you live or if you die
And I said, God damn, God damn that Bible pushin' man
Godamn, Godamn, Godamn, Godamn, God damn
Hell Lyrics – Blind Melon
I have no fingertips
They were burned away from too many stove trips
Can't find no fingernails
I ate them off cause I was hungry as hell
Can't read, can't clear my mind
So here I go I've got to get into this lifetime
I think I'm gonna build a fence
To keep inside what little sense
The sense of taste
The sense of smell
The sense to sit here and feel like hell
To feel like hell
The sun, the moon, the stars
Is that what you're thinking that you are
As I'll disintegrate over time
If I expect my Body to try and keep up with my mind
Today everything's mine
Today everything's mine
Today everything's mine
They were burned away from too many stove trips
Can't find no fingernails
I ate them off cause I was hungry as hell
Can't read, can't clear my mind
So here I go I've got to get into this lifetime
I think I'm gonna build a fence
To keep inside what little sense
The sense of taste
The sense of smell
The sense to sit here and feel like hell
To feel like hell
The sun, the moon, the stars
Is that what you're thinking that you are
As I'll disintegrate over time
If I expect my Body to try and keep up with my mind
Today everything's mine
Today everything's mine
Today everything's mine
Soup Lyrics – Blind Melon
The clothesline of cold eyes
Is washing away the face before
Now tell me what's wrong you see everyone's gone
You gotta do your best to decorate this dying' day
This dying' day
All over a bowl of bitter beans
And outside way, way up high I got a quarter moon misthanging' over me
And now, I want that rocking chair outta there
Cause he's no longer living here
It's no longer needed here
All over a bowl of bitter beans
And I got a corner store and that's all the more
For me to praise upon the holidays
And now I'll close my eyes really, really tight
And make you all go away,
I'll make you all go all go away
And I'll pull the trigger and make it all go away
And I'll make it all go away, I'll make it all go away
Is washing away the face before
Now tell me what's wrong you see everyone's gone
You gotta do your best to decorate this dying' day
This dying' day
All over a bowl of bitter beans
And outside way, way up high I got a quarter moon misthanging' over me
And now, I want that rocking chair outta there
Cause he's no longer living here
It's no longer needed here
All over a bowl of bitter beans
And I got a corner store and that's all the more
For me to praise upon the holidays
And now I'll close my eyes really, really tight
And make you all go away,
I'll make you all go all go away
And I'll pull the trigger and make it all go away
And I'll make it all go away, I'll make it all go away
No Rain (Ripped Away Version) Lyrics – Blind Melon
All I can say you know my life it's pretty plain
And all that I can do, is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view, but it's not sane
No it's not sane
It's not sane
And I don't understand why I sleep all God damn day
All that I do, is read a book to stay awake
It rips my life away
And it rips my life away
And it will rip your life away
And all that I can do, is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view, but it's not sane
No it's not sane
It's not sane
And I don't understand why I sleep all God damn day
All that I do, is read a book to stay awake
It rips my life away
And it rips my life away
And it will rip your life away
Soul One Lyrics – Blind Melon
How come, girl was there when I needed one
How come, girl was there when the song is done
Some say, open your eyes to a brighter light
Okay, open my arms they were right
She was my soul one
She felt she was the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one
Inside, pain in my heart often made her cry
Outside, I cursed the birds and the sugar sky
How long take to realize she's the one
How long until I find my lost and lonely soul one
She was my soul one
She felt like the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one
Should of never taken the time
'Cause I found myself living a lonely lie
You said, you left to find yourself
But I never, no I never got the chance to say good-bye
She was my soul one I though she was
How come, girl was there when the song is done
Some say, open your eyes to a brighter light
Okay, open my arms they were right
She was my soul one
She felt she was the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one
Inside, pain in my heart often made her cry
Outside, I cursed the birds and the sugar sky
How long take to realize she's the one
How long until I find my lost and lonely soul one
She was my soul one
She felt like the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one
Should of never taken the time
'Cause I found myself living a lonely lie
You said, you left to find yourself
But I never, no I never got the chance to say good-bye
She was my soul one I though she was
John Sinclair Lyrics – Blind Melon
It ain't fair, John Sinclair
In the stir for breathing air
Won't you care for John Sinclair
In the stir for breathing air
Let him be, set him free
Let him be like you and me
They give him number two
What else can the judges do
Gotta set him free
If he'd been a soldier man
Shooting gooks in Vietnam
If he was the CIA
Selling dope and making hay
He'd be free, they'd let him be
Breathing air, like you and me
They gave him ten for two
They got Ali Otis too
Gotta set him free
Was he jailed for what he done
Or representing everyone
Free John now, if we can
From the clutchs of the man
Let him be, lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids
They gave him ten for two
What else can the bastards do
Gotta set him free
In the stir for breathing air
Won't you care for John Sinclair
In the stir for breathing air
Let him be, set him free
Let him be like you and me
They give him number two
What else can the judges do
Gotta set him free
If he'd been a soldier man
Shooting gooks in Vietnam
If he was the CIA
Selling dope and making hay
He'd be free, they'd let him be
Breathing air, like you and me
They gave him ten for two
They got Ali Otis too
Gotta set him free
Was he jailed for what he done
Or representing everyone
Free John now, if we can
From the clutchs of the man
Let him be, lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids
They gave him ten for two
What else can the bastards do
Gotta set him free
All That I Need Lyrics – Blind Melon
All that I need is the air that I breathe
And all that I need are things I don't need
And all that really matters is what matters to me
And who of you are like me
If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand
Because you know if I'm to benefit I'll do everything that I can
And who of you are like me
It will make you feel good, over my shoulder
It'll get me down and got me tied up
'Till I grow older, but feel me inside of you
Like you want it to
But is it just the pains in your head
That are thrilling me
Another life's falling down onto it's knees
But I'll never smile the way, that I did like that day
Everything will be okay
It'll be okay
And all that I need are things I don't need
And all that really matters is what matters to me
And who of you are like me
If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand
Because you know if I'm to benefit I'll do everything that I can
And who of you are like me
It will make you feel good, over my shoulder
It'll get me down and got me tied up
'Till I grow older, but feel me inside of you
Like you want it to
But is it just the pains in your head
That are thrilling me
Another life's falling down onto it's knees
But I'll never smile the way, that I did like that day
Everything will be okay
It'll be okay
Glitch Lyrics – Blind Melon
Sitting' on the back of my time
Fishing' through the cities phone lines
Suddenly, Suddenly 'til my back's out of line
Who today will be knocked off
And who controls all the chalk talk
Will they let you see
And will you believe
May there be a charm in your shine
Lies about the big find
But shouldn't he, so deservingly
Fishing' through the cities phone lines
Suddenly, Suddenly 'til my back's out of line
Who today will be knocked off
And who controls all the chalk talk
Will they let you see
And will you believe
May there be a charm in your shine
Lies about the big find
But shouldn't he, so deservingly
Swallowed Lyrics – Blind Melon
Come down from the ceiling
Oh, these pills were made for feeling
Oh, so divine
I've got a lump in my throat
So I'll keep hold of hope
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a lump in my throat
And it makes it hard to swallow
That's why we'll crawl to walk for running
Oh there's not so much more in store
That's why we'll never, ever divide
I've got a lump in my throat
So, I'll keep hold of hope
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a lump in my throat
And it makes it hard to swallow
Telling me winning is now or never
Seems like nobody really cares
Because they're just killing my time
They're just killing my time
Don't you know they're just killing my time
Oh, these pills were made for feeling
Oh, so divine
I've got a lump in my throat
So I'll keep hold of hope
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a lump in my throat
And it makes it hard to swallow
That's why we'll crawl to walk for running
Oh there's not so much more in store
That's why we'll never, ever divide
I've got a lump in my throat
So, I'll keep hold of hope
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a lump in my throat
And it makes it hard to swallow
Telling me winning is now or never
Seems like nobody really cares
Because they're just killing my time
They're just killing my time
Don't you know they're just killing my time
St. Andrew's Hall Lyrics – Blind Melon
Big stretch and not much sleep
I got a couple of plam trees on each side of my cheek
And it's a bright blue Saturday
And the rummage sells the rubbish to me
But if I could buy the sky that's hangin'
Over this bed of mine
If I could climb these vines
And maybe see what you're seein'
If you were standing on the corner staring straight
Into the eyes of Jesus Christ
One porch, one dog, one cockroach only way to be
I got sewage fruit and it's growing out back from roots
I don't know if they belong to me
But if I could buy the sky that's hangin'
Over this bed of mine
And if I could climb these vines
and maybe see what you're seein'
Sittin' at the edge of this building,
Twenty stories below,
A' twenty stories below
Twenty stories below
Twenty stories below
I can't tell you how many ways that I've sat,
And viewed my life today, but I can tell you
I don't think that I can find easier way
So if I see you walking hand in hand in hand
With a three armed man, you know I'll understand
(Pockets full of crappiness
Can't piece together my day
So I pose myself this question
Maybe sleeps gonna get me in the shade
I got my head buried in this pillow
I got my head buried in this pillow
So low...)
But you should have been in my shoes yesterday
You should have been in my shoes yesterday
I got a couple of plam trees on each side of my cheek
And it's a bright blue Saturday
And the rummage sells the rubbish to me
But if I could buy the sky that's hangin'
Over this bed of mine
If I could climb these vines
And maybe see what you're seein'
If you were standing on the corner staring straight
Into the eyes of Jesus Christ
One porch, one dog, one cockroach only way to be
I got sewage fruit and it's growing out back from roots
I don't know if they belong to me
But if I could buy the sky that's hangin'
Over this bed of mine
And if I could climb these vines
and maybe see what you're seein'
Sittin' at the edge of this building,

A' twenty stories below
Twenty stories below
Twenty stories below
I can't tell you how many ways that I've sat,

Wilt Lyrics – Blind Melon
Hair raising shake you're much too late
you should have jumped a couple of cars before
Now if I may I'll walk away
I'm selling Silly Putty door to door
And up on the shelf it seems to help
If I can keep a little bit of disease
As its feeding on me
You see it's bringing me to my knees
As we all wilt
Watching you wilt
Come right away and help me bathe away
the filthy feeling, frigid and cold
Biting my nails to the fairy tales
About the magic monkey's total control
See I got Indian Ken and his fleabag friends
With their buckets full of elephant ears
And he's breathing on me
His breath is bringing me to my knees
As we all wilt
Watching you wilt
Pea green the feeling
you should have jumped a couple of cars before
Now if I may I'll walk away
I'm selling Silly Putty door to door
And up on the shelf it seems to help
If I can keep a little bit of disease
As its feeding on me
You see it's bringing me to my knees
As we all wilt
Watching you wilt
Come right away and help me bathe away
the filthy feeling, frigid and cold
Biting my nails to the fairy tales
About the magic monkey's total control
See I got Indian Ken and his fleabag friends
With their buckets full of elephant ears
And he's breathing on me
His breath is bringing me to my knees
As we all wilt
Watching you wilt
Pea green the feeling

Galaxie Lyrics – Blind Melon
Is this the place that I want to be
Is it you who I want to see
Holding on, hold it high, show me everything
And you're leaving me, yeah you're leaving me
you're leaving me with a hated identity
But I keep on a comin' here and standing in this state
And I'm never really sure if you'll take what I'm saying the right way
But I'm not appalled or afraid verbal pocket play
Is as discreet as I can muster up to be
Because the Cadillac that's sittin' in the back
It isn't me
Oh, no, no, no it isn't me
I'm more at home in my galaxie
Can I do the things I wanna do
That I don't do because of you
And I'll take a left and I'll second
guess into a total mess
And you're leaving me
And you're leaving me
you're leaving me with a hated identity
No no no no it isn't me
No no no no it isn't me
No it isn't me
I'm more at home in my galaxie
Is it you who I want to see
Holding on, hold it high, show me everything
And you're leaving me, yeah you're leaving me
you're leaving me with a hated identity
But I keep on a comin' here and standing in this state
And I'm never really sure if you'll take what I'm saying the right way
But I'm not appalled or afraid verbal pocket play
Is as discreet as I can muster up to be
Because the Cadillac that's sittin' in the back
It isn't me
Oh, no, no, no it isn't me

No no no no it isn't me
No no no no it isn't me
No it isn't me
I'm more at home in my galaxie
2 x 4 Lyrics – Blind Melon
I'm talkin' I'm talkin'
I'm talkin' to myself more
Needle, fetal
Someone's pouring warm gravy all over me
And you see that synthetic therapy
Don't you know it seems to be so unappealing
But, oh what a feeling
But I wish that you would stop spitting when you're talking to me
And inside, air dry
I might want to go another way
But you see now I'm too pale to get out
Into the lovely light of day
Oh, I'll do anything that you say
Oh, I'll do anything that you say
But I wish you would stop spitting when you're talking to me
I'm talkin' to myself more
1x1
Man to man
Stand to stand
2x4
Talkin' to myself
I'm talkin' to myself more
Needle, fetal
Someone's pouring warm gravy all over me
And you see that synthetic therapy
Don't you know it seems to be so unappealing
But, oh what a feeling
But I wish that you would stop spitting when you're talking to me
And inside, air dry
I might want to go another way
But you see now I'm too pale to get out
Into the lovely light of day
Oh, I'll do anything that you say
Oh, I'll do anything that you say
But I wish you would stop spitting when you're talking to me
I'm talkin' to myself more
1x1
Man to man
Stand to stand
2x4
Talkin' to myself
Vernie Lyrics – Blind Melon
Is it the way you're speakin'
Is it because I'm peakin'
Twistin' your face, thumb in hand, but you
Gotta have your own space to play in
A collection of glass chickens
Oh Vernie, what a garden you have
Maybe its the snuff under your lip
Or maybe caramel cake covered in Christmas
Oh a flower you are to my land, but I
No I cannot deny the beauty
If I had a heart I would want it to be like Vernie's
Oh what a heart that she has
Roaming through the cupboard jar of
pickles never opened since 1983
Peanuts in a pile and Elvis down the aisle
Singing gallantly
I wish I could be
A little more like Vernie
Oh, I wanna be
I wanna be a little more like Vernie
Is it because I'm peakin'
Twistin' your face, thumb in hand, but you
Gotta have your own space to play in
A collection of glass chickens
Oh Vernie, what a garden you have
Maybe its the snuff under your lip
Or maybe caramel cake covered in Christmas
Oh a flower you are to my land, but I
No I cannot deny the beauty
If I had a heart I would want it to be like Vernie's
Oh what a heart that she has
Roaming through the cupboard jar of
pickles never opened since 1983
Peanuts in a pile and Elvis down the aisle
Singing gallantly
I wish I could be
A little more like Vernie
Oh, I wanna be
I wanna be a little more like Vernie
Skinned Lyrics – Blind Melon
I'll make a shoehorn outta your skin
I'll make a lampshade of durable skin
And oh, don't you know that I'm always feelin' able
When I'm sittin' home and I'm carving out your navel
When will I realize that this skin I'm in
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the kill be too much meat for me to hide on
Hey, I could really use a couple of hands
To complete one hell of a plant stand
Oh, and don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle
Making rib cages into coffee tables
I'm just makin' em into coffee tables
And when I realize that this skin I'm in
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the thrill be too much meat for me to find anymore
Oh, because you know I can't hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in, oh yeah
And though you know I can't hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in
I'll make a lampshade of durable skin
And oh, don't you know that I'm always feelin' able
When I'm sittin' home and I'm carving out your navel
When will I realize that this skin I'm in
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the kill be too much meat for me to hide on
Hey, I could really use a couple of hands
To complete one hell of a plant stand
Oh, and don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle
Making rib cages into coffee tables
I'm just makin' em into coffee tables
And when I realize that this skin I'm in
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the thrill be too much meat for me to find anymore
Oh, because you know I can't hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in, oh yeah
And though you know I can't hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in
Toes Across The Floor Lyrics – Blind Melon
Doesn't anybody feel
That all these killers should be killed
And all these healers should be healed
So all these beggers can be filled
Now tell me why am I to lie
If I'm holding firm and feel the right
to lie down beside this dog of mine
And let that perverted though really run through my mind
I'd scrape my toes across the floor
This day's the same as those before
And though inside I'm feeling giddy
Always wrong for never giving myself an uninvaded door
So now I'll take a little glue
I'll put together a new glittered room for you
So I can start sitting so pretty
Instead of sitting here not seein' clear
Just sitting here not fittin' here
No things ain't fittin' here
I'll just lay my head down beside this God of mine
And let that perverted thought burn a hole in my mind
And if I can't lay my head beside this God of mine
Maybe the Hunter's dog called God
Could be my friend in time
That all these killers should be killed
And all these healers should be healed
So all these beggers can be filled
Now tell me why am I to lie
If I'm holding firm and feel the right
to lie down beside this dog of mine
And let that perverted though really run through my mind
I'd scrape my toes across the floor
This day's the same as those before
And though inside I'm feeling giddy
Always wrong for never giving myself an uninvaded door
So now I'll take a little glue
I'll put together a new glittered room for you
So I can start sitting so pretty
Instead of sitting here not seein' clear
Just sitting here not fittin' here
No things ain't fittin' here
I'll just lay my head down beside this God of mine
And let that perverted thought burn a hole in my mind
And if I can't lay my head beside this God of mine
Maybe the Hunter's dog called God
Could be my friend in time
Walk Lyrics – Blind Melon
Find myself singing the same songs everyday
Ones that make me feel good
When things behing the smiles ain't okay
Around and over and in-between the seas
I need to be on top of a mountain
Where I can be see everything
Cause this paranoia's getting old
Now as I open my eyes to start another day
I'm in a pile of puke
Empty bag of execuses
My love for friends and family
you know I need them
And under a sun that's seen it all before
My feet are so cold
And I can't believe that I have to bang my head against this wall again
But the blows they have just a little more space in-between them
Gonna take a breath and try again.
Ones that make me feel good
When things behing the smiles ain't okay

I'm in a pile of puke
Empty bag of execuses
My love for friends and family

And under a sun that's seen it all before
My feet are so cold
And I can't believe that I have to bang my head against this wall again
But the blows they have just a little more space in-between them
Gonna take a breath and try again.
Dumptruck Lyrics – Blind Melon
New York City soothing my itchy itchy month of May
Time has passed for Ms. Onassis, decay on display
I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down - like she did
And I can't understand why something
good's got to die before we miss it
Mumbled talk through pigeon park
And Hastings is wasting away
religiously they seem to sin
Buy, sell or trade for amens
I just don't want to feel
I just don't want to feel
I just don't want to feel - like they feel
Hollow body for sound, trade a coat for a gown
Way up in my arms you know
I love you just a little bit more
Raisin' nose down to chin
Smoke after smoke they all trickle in
Anything, for anything, and ending up with nothing
Simple pimpled young man
Sores all over his hands
He's sleeping, not so silently
I'll mop the floors for you all
I'm a fly on the wall
Really big and listening
Burned a hand of a friend of mine
And Bub I know that you could fly a mile high
You told me nothing's ever gonna come between
Nothing's ever gonna come between
Nothing's ever gonna come between
My dumptruck and me
Time has passed for Ms. Onassis, decay on display
I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down - like she did
And I can't understand why something
good's got to die before we miss it
Mumbled talk through pigeon park
And Hastings is wasting away
religiously they seem to sin
Buy, sell or trade for amens
I just don't want to feel
I just don't want to feel
I just don't want to feel - like they feel
Hollow body for sound, trade a coat for a gown
Way up in my arms you know
I love you just a little bit more
Raisin' nose down to chin
Smoke after smoke they all trickle in
Anything, for anything, and ending up with nothing
Simple pimpled young man
Sores all over his hands
He's sleeping, not so silently
I'll mop the floors for you all
I'm a fly on the wall
Really big and listening
Burned a hand of a friend of mine
And Bub I know that you could fly a mile high
You told me nothing's ever gonna come between
Nothing's ever gonna come between
Nothing's ever gonna come between
My dumptruck and me
Carseat (God's Presents) Lyrics – Blind Melon
Tongue tied, nerves as big as boulders
Why Mom, I thought I was your soldier
My brother sits by me
Buckled into the carseat
Feel the thirst, it's time for pulling over
Into the truckstop on my daddy's shoulder
Out back where they plant all the trees
ten feet away my daddy buries me
[God's Presents]
If my path be smooth or rugged
If with thorns or roses strewn
Where I go the Father seeith
And He will leave me not alone
If I take the wings of morning
far within the giant sea
Even there His hand will leave me
Even there my God will be
Though the gloom of night be round me
Though I cannot see my way
Yet the Lord will see and guide me
Because unto Him the night is day
If my thought are good or evil
Set me think to hide them not
there is one above all seeing
And He beholdth every thought
And ever more my eyes beholds me
And all my ways to Him are known
And His loving arms enfolds me
He will leave me not alone
Why Mom, I thought I was your soldier
My brother sits by me
Buckled into the carseat
Feel the thirst, it's time for pulling over
Into the truckstop on my daddy's shoulder
Out back where they plant all the trees
ten feet away my daddy buries me
[God's Presents]
If my path be smooth or rugged
If with thorns or roses strewn
Where I go the Father seeith
And He will leave me not alone
If I take the wings of morning
far within the giant sea
Even there His hand will leave me
Even there my God will be
Though the gloom of night be round me
Though I cannot see my way
Yet the Lord will see and guide me
Because unto Him the night is day
If my thought are good or evil
Set me think to hide them not
there is one above all seeing
And He beholdth every thought
And ever more my eyes beholds me
And all my ways to Him are known
And His loving arms enfolds me
He will leave me not alone
The Duke Lyrics – Blind Melon
Out here in nothin' engulfed by the sea
And there's no one here 'cept these fishes and me
I think I could die here
Then I'm hit, leveled hard by the rising tide
Oh, I'm hit hard by the tide,
I'm just livid,
All alone
Sunny, so funny, not funny to me because,
I'm bearing the scars from it burning on me
But I feel so revived, just sittin', here thinkin'
Then I'm hit hard, really hard by the tide
I'm hit hard by the tide, I'm just livid
And I'm livin'
Yeah, I'm hit hard by the tide
I'm livid, livid
Hard by the tide I'm livin'
And there's no one here 'cept these fishes and me
I think I could die here
Then I'm hit, leveled hard by the rising tide
Oh, I'm hit hard by the tide,
I'm just livid,
All alone
Sunny, so funny, not funny to me because,
I'm bearing the scars from it burning on me
But I feel so revived, just sittin', here thinkin'
Then I'm hit hard, really hard by the tide
I'm hit hard by the tide, I'm just livid
And I'm livin'
Yeah, I'm hit hard by the tide
I'm livid, livid
Hard by the tide I'm livin'
New Life Lyrics – Blind Melon
Suddenly everyting is fainting
Falling from a broken ladder's rung
There's a jolt exhilarating from the phone I'm holding
I hear the words of what I'll become
How eager the hands that reach for love
'Cause now there's a new life to behold
And its the biggest part of my life to unfold
'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
And a faithful father I am to be
When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
Will it bring new life into me?
Deep inside must defy arrangement
I've been a stumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til now
And I'll always try to justify the way I've been behaving
Should I teach one not to know how?
How to live in a world we live in now
'Cause there's a beautiful life to behold
And its the biggest part of my life to unfold
'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
And a father figure I am to be
When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
Will it bring new life into me?
Oh please
Oh please
Oh please
Bring new life
Bring new life
Bring new life into me
Falling from a broken ladder's rung
There's a jolt exhilarating from the phone I'm holding
I hear the words of what I'll become
How eager the hands that reach for love
'Cause now there's a new life to behold
And its the biggest part of my life to unfold
'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
And a faithful father I am to be
When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
Will it bring new life into me?
Deep inside must defy arrangement
I've been a stumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til now
And I'll always try to justify the way I've been behaving
Should I teach one not to know how?
How to live in a world we live in now
'Cause there's a beautiful life to behold
And its the biggest part of my life to unfold
'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
And a father figure I am to be
When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
Will it bring new life into me?
Oh please
Oh please
Oh please
Bring new life
Bring new life
Bring new life into me
Mouthful Of Cavaties Lyrics – Blind Melon
Mouthful of cavities
Your soul's a bowl of jokes
And everyday you remind me
How I'm desperately in need
See, I got a lot of fiends around
And they're peaking through nothing new
They see you
They see everything you do
See everything on the inside, out
Oh, please give me a little more
And I'll push away those baby blues
Cause one of these days this will die
So will me and so will you
I write a letter to a friend of mine
I tell him how much I used to love watch him smile
See I haven't seen him smile in a little while
Haven't seen him smile in a little while
But, I know you're laughing from the inside out
Laughin' from the inside out
I know you're laughing from the inside out
Laughing from the inside
From the inside
From the inside
From the inside
From the inside out
Your soul's a bowl of jokes
And everyday you remind me
How I'm desperately in need
See, I got a lot of fiends around
And they're peaking through nothing new
They see you
They see everything you do
See everything on the inside, out
Oh, please give me a little more
And I'll push away those baby blues
Cause one of these days this will die
So will me and so will you
I write a letter to a friend of mine
I tell him how much I used to love watch him smile
See I haven't seen him smile in a little while
Haven't seen him smile in a little while
But, I know you're laughing from the inside out
Laughin' from the inside out
I know you're laughing from the inside out
Laughing from the inside
From the inside
From the inside
From the inside
From the inside out
Lemonade Lyrics – Blind Melon
There's such a thing as self opinion
And this far down South I have no self-control
If anbody else feels like a nobody
Well then your gonna have to look out for you
I'll colour green verything believed in
But I keep screaming for my glass of lemonade
I walk around and it feels good to be movin'
The breeze that's blowin' through cannot be found
Jump on the trolley that's headed for all the hollering
And then you're gonna have to look out for you
In desperate need of a little more religion
To nurse your God like point of view
Fool on the sheetroof you gotta lay down in your ruins
The river flowin' by, is way too big to bound
If I should speak up, and say hello Mr. Uppercut
Oh, how nice to have avoided you
I'll bloody bleed on everything I'm seeing
But I keep screaming for that glass of lemonade
Too much, too much, too much Lemonade
And this far down South I have no self-control
If anbody else feels like a nobody
Well then your gonna have to look out for you
I'll colour green verything believed in
But I keep screaming for my glass of lemonade
I walk around and it feels good to be movin'
The breeze that's blowin' through cannot be found
Jump on the trolley that's headed for all the hollering
And then you're gonna have to look out for you
In desperate need of a little more religion
To nurse your God like point of view
Fool on the sheetroof you gotta lay down in your ruins
The river flowin' by, is way too big to bound
If I should speak up, and say hello Mr. Uppercut
Oh, how nice to have avoided you
I'll bloody bleed on everything I'm seeing
But I keep screaming for that glass of lemonade
Too much, too much, too much Lemonade
Soak The Sin Lyrics – Blind Melon
I've got to buy some shoes
These ones are getting lose
My feet are shrinking in the
Sun, and it ain't fun
But it looks like rain up ahead
In forty miles.
A big rainbow took the blue sky.
I'm gonna tell my momma, I love
Her so and thank you for
Giving me these bones o gold
I'm gonna run from my home
Jump in the river and let the
Water soak the sin in my soul.
Fine time we all crossed lines
make the music that makes us
Feel fine
Rednecks on sun decks hearing a
Hillside Romeo say "Boys this is the
Good shit, so come on all and eat
A little bit."
And if I ever go back home I'm
Gonna sell
And tell my momma, I love
Her so and thank you for
Giving me these bones o gold
I'm gonna run from my home
Jump in the river and let the
Water soak the sin in my soul.
Don't even say a word, it confuses me
What he says to do, is that we don't
Have to
We don't have to.
These ones are getting lose
My feet are shrinking in the
Sun, and it ain't fun
But it looks like rain up ahead
In forty miles.
A big rainbow took the blue sky.
I'm gonna tell my momma, I love
Her so and thank you for
Giving me these bones o gold
I'm gonna run from my home
Jump in the river and let the
Water soak the sin in my soul.
Fine time we all crossed lines
make the music that makes us
Feel fine
Rednecks on sun decks hearing a
Hillside Romeo say "Boys this is the
Good shit, so come on all and eat
A little bit."
And if I ever go back home I'm
Gonna sell
And tell my momma, I love
Her so and thank you for
Giving me these bones o gold
I'm gonna run from my home
Jump in the river and let the
Water soak the sin in my soul.
Don't even say a word, it confuses me
What he says to do, is that we don't
Have to
We don't have to.
Paper Scratcher Lyrics – Blind Melon
Shuffle can to can nobody really gives a damn
For every living day I give myself a hand
Now I'm scroungy as can be
I got all you normals looking at me
I'll scratch a hole in my life
So everyone can see
My mind is a mind that I have come to know
And my eyes can't conceive a world that can not grow
And Fridays are always fresh days
Screamin' at the sun, don't really
Know what he has done
He don't believe in God and a world as one
So he rambles through the weeds
And he will sleep beneath the trees
On the day I die, Thank God my Soul will be released
I've seen all your eyes
And I've seen all your faces
Can you tell me honestly that you wanna be free?
Then look in my eyes
I've been lots of places
Can you tell me honestly that you'd want to be me
Honestly
For every living day I give myself a hand
Now I'm scroungy as can be
I got all you normals looking at me
I'll scratch a hole in my life
So everyone can see
My mind is a mind that I have come to know
And my eyes can't conceive a world that can not grow
And Fridays are always fresh days
Screamin' at the sun, don't really
Know what he has done
He don't believe in God and a world as one
So he rambles through the weeds
And he will sleep beneath the trees
On the day I die, Thank God my Soul will be released
I've seen all your eyes
And I've seen all your faces
Can you tell me honestly that you wanna be free?
Then look in my eyes
I've been lots of places
Can you tell me honestly that you'd want to be me
Honestly
Tones Of Home Lyrics – Blind Melon
What do you think they would say
If I stood up and I walked away
Nobody here really understand me
and so I'll wave goodbye I'm fine, I'm fine
Tones of home
said you don't like the way I'm living
you don't like me
Tones of home, tones of home
And so I'll wave goodbye.
I'm flyin' I'm flyin' home
And I always thought this would be
the land of milk and honey
Oh but I came to find out that it's
all hate and money
And there's a canopy of greed holding me down.
[Chorus]
See I'm so High to you, so I'll fade away
I said your on your own
Your Mom and Daddy said , that your
sister said, and your brothers saying
Everybody is saying Everybody, is
saying I, eye God I gotta go!
All my friends patronize me and
They say YO Hey Boy! Have you
found what your looking for.
It seems they don't really know me cause it's here
and its what they can't see.
[Chorus]
If I stood up and I walked away
Nobody here really understand me
and so I'll wave goodbye I'm fine, I'm fine
Tones of home
said you don't like the way I'm living
you don't like me
Tones of home, tones of home
And so I'll wave goodbye.
I'm flyin' I'm flyin' home
And I always thought this would be
the land of milk and honey
Oh but I came to find out that it's
all hate and money
And there's a canopy of greed holding me down.
[Chorus]
See I'm so High to you, so I'll fade away
I said your on your own
Your Mom and Daddy said , that your
sister said, and your brothers saying
Everybody is saying Everybody, is
saying I, eye God I gotta go!
All my friends patronize me and
They say YO Hey Boy! Have you
found what your looking for.
It seems they don't really know me cause it's here
and its what they can't see.

I Wonder Lyrics – Blind Melon
All alone the broadening skies
Under the every night I will lie
Scratching claw and grip the rails
Every day my living hell
Oh God you know I've tried
I know how hard I tried
and oh I tried......
Hey I'd like to daze away to a
Place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own
Where I could hum a tune anytime
I choose, and then there is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain just calm and sane
What a place for one to find
Now you see I'm watching everything
I do and they're watching everything I say
Why wont they leave me be?
Why am I even here? I wonder
You leave me wondering
Won't you stop watching me
I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me
Now in my corner I got the ceiling in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees
And rocking back and forth's my life
I didn't mean to feel this way
When I walked into the door, Lord
Then they ripped away my memories
And I cant remember who I was before.
And I only wanted to be 16 and free.
Under the every night I will lie
Scratching claw and grip the rails
Every day my living hell
Oh God you know I've tried
I know how hard I tried
and oh I tried......
Hey I'd like to daze away to a
Place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own
Where I could hum a tune anytime
I choose, and then there is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain just calm and sane
What a place for one to find
Now you see I'm watching everything
I do and they're watching everything I say
Why wont they leave me be?
Why am I even here? I wonder
You leave me wondering
Won't you stop watching me
I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me
Now in my corner I got the ceiling in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees
And rocking back and forth's my life
I didn't mean to feel this way
When I walked into the door, Lord
Then they ripped away my memories
And I cant remember who I was before.
And I only wanted to be 16 and free.
Dear 'Ol Dad Lyrics – Blind Melon
Come now and listen babe
I gotta reason why I behave
Like a child with a light in eyes
Running naked on a cold winter night
I am like a pigeon that is spreading
it's wings to fly away to better things
Like a hammer that has made
a dent in every little single cent you've spent
Said oh God you've got to help me a little bit
you've got to have a relief file for me
Now I know I'm always right, that's a
thought that never even crossed my mind
Don't touch me there, I've gotta be pure
So smack that hand, and read this verse
So I wrecked your life, what the heck
My new found faith will pay by check
This life's took a toll on my soul
So this is me and that's my song
And I guess that you can see that we don't get along
I've shut the doors on what we had
so now she can sleep with her Dear ol' Dad
my eyes are dry and my hands are clean
and I can't believe all the things I've seen
[Chorus]
Oh My God!
I gotta reason why I behave
Like a child with a light in eyes
Running naked on a cold winter night
I am like a pigeon that is spreading
it's wings to fly away to better things
Like a hammer that has made
a dent in every little single cent you've spent
Said oh God you've got to help me a little bit
you've got to have a relief file for me
Now I know I'm always right, that's a

Don't touch me there, I've gotta be pure
So smack that hand, and read this verse
So I wrecked your life, what the heck
My new found faith will pay by check
This life's took a toll on my soul
So this is me and that's my song
And I guess that you can see that we don't get along

Oh My God!
Change Lyrics – Blind Melon
I don't feel the suns comin' out today
its staying in, its gonna find another way.
As I sit here in this misery, I don't
think I'll ever see the sun from here.
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,
Hey look at him! I'll never live that way.
But that's okay
they're just afraid to change.
When you feel your life ain't worth living
you've got to stand up and
take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
some ways will work and other ways we'll play.
But I know we all can't stay here forever,
so I want to write my words on the face of today.
and then they'll paint it
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and they'll say,
Hey look at him and where he is these days.
When life is hard, you have to change.
its staying in, its gonna find another way.
As I sit here in this misery, I don't
think I'll ever see the sun from here.
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,
Hey look at him! I'll never live that way.
But that's okay
they're just afraid to change.
When you feel your life ain't worth living
you've got to stand up and
take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
some ways will work and other ways we'll play.
But I know we all can't stay here forever,
so I want to write my words on the face of today.
and then they'll paint it
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and they'll say,
Hey look at him and where he is these days.
When life is hard, you have to change.
No Rain Lyrics – Blind Melon
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But it's not sane, It's not sane
I just want some one to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
escape...escape...escape...
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
ya don't like my point of view
ya think I'm insane
Its not sane...it's not sane.
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But it's not sane, It's not sane
I just want some one to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
escape...escape...escape...
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
ya don't like my point of view
ya think I'm insane
Its not sane...it's not sane.
Deserted Lyrics – Blind Melon
Grab my knee and look at me
And try to tell me I'll be home soon
Asleep in my bed and unstoned
I'm tired of me this way
I don't know what I've gotten into
But I'm glad it's now instead of sooner
This desert heat has crowded me strong
With a wish I had for winter
It's not as gentle as it sounds
As though it sounded yesterday
When I heard a leaf of my life hit the ground
And as a bottle cap flew from my fingers
I don't know what I've gotten in to
But I'm glad it's now instead of sooner
This desert heat has crowded me strong
With a wish I had for winter
..And the sands blew in my eyes
I stood on the edge and looked down to see
The light of a new life, shinning up on me
...With a wish that I had
The sand blew in my eyes
And try to tell me I'll be home soon
Asleep in my bed and unstoned
I'm tired of me this way
I don't know what I've gotten into
But I'm glad it's now instead of sooner
This desert heat has crowded me strong
With a wish I had for winter
It's not as gentle as it sounds
As though it sounded yesterday
When I heard a leaf of my life hit the ground
And as a bottle cap flew from my fingers
I don't know what I've gotten in to
But I'm glad it's now instead of sooner
This desert heat has crowded me strong
With a wish I had for winter
..And the sands blew in my eyes
I stood on the edge and looked down to see
The light of a new life, shinning up on me
...With a wish that I had
The sand blew in my eyes
Sleepyhouse Lyrics – Blind Melon
No time frame, for what I need to do today
Here at the yellow house. I think I'm gonna play
With some free livin' lads down the street aways away
As I feel the moon rise
The time that all feels is the right time
Here in our sleepy house
As I wipe eye bugs away, the candle flickers at me to say
And in my head I sometimes pray
Hey aren't ya feeling fine
As I was as a little child
And I'm feeling better when I'm high
With a red light shinning on a little unity
The mistakes that I've made
No they don't seem to bother me
I sure as hell don't feel like
I missed any kind of train
If I could only show you how I feel
Then you wouldn't bother me
And then maybe you'd see why we don't mind being blind
As I was as a little child
And I'm feeling better when I'm high
With a red light shinning on a little unity
I'll probably be in a little while.
Here at the yellow house. I think I'm gonna play
With some free livin' lads down the street aways away
As I feel the moon rise
The time that all feels is the right time
Here in our sleepy house
As I wipe eye bugs away, the candle flickers at me to say
And in my head I sometimes pray
Hey aren't ya feeling fine
As I was as a little child
And I'm feeling better when I'm high
With a red light shinning on a little unity
The mistakes that I've made
No they don't seem to bother me
I sure as hell don't feel like
I missed any kind of train
If I could only show you how I feel
Then you wouldn't bother me
And then maybe you'd see why we don't mind being blind
As I was as a little child
And I'm feeling better when I'm high
With a red light shinning on a little unity
I'll probably be in a little while.
Seed To A Tree Lyrics – Blind Melon
As I shit, I sit and wonder why
My floor is so cold and my back broken tired
But life is good, even though it won't be long
With a candle comes emotions that
Dance with the shadows on my wall
What were you thoughts, as they
Were flying through your mind
Compared to what you feel from
The bars your now behind
If they could speak, what do you think
They would say to you?
I do believe you'd been better
Off if you'd just told the truth
Never had a problem till I stood face to face with me
And I wish there was a way for me to go inside so I could see
All the faces of the people who have torn a piece of me
As I grew from a seed to a tree
Can you feel the power of the eye
That's hidden away 5 feet from where we lie
What do you taste, when you take a drink of me
Is it to much for me to ask if I asked you to leave
Please just leave 'cause I want to be alone
There's a fine line between love and my feelings for you
High time I washed it all away
Unkind, I watch your future burn before you
Denied, a chance of any love in your life
And I ask you one time..Why?
[Chorus]
My floor is so cold and my back broken tired
But life is good, even though it won't be long
With a candle comes emotions that
Dance with the shadows on my wall
What were you thoughts, as they
Were flying through your mind
Compared to what you feel from
The bars your now behind
If they could speak, what do you think
They would say to you?
I do believe you'd been better
Off if you'd just told the truth
Never had a problem till I stood face to face with me
And I wish there was a way for me to go inside so I could see
All the faces of the people who have torn a piece of me
As I grew from a seed to a tree
Can you feel the power of the eye
That's hidden away 5 feet from where we lie
What do you taste, when you take a drink of me
Is it to much for me to ask if I asked you to leave
Please just leave 'cause I want to be alone
There's a fine line between love and my feelings for you
High time I washed it all away
Unkind, I watch your future burn before you
Denied, a chance of any love in your life
And I ask you one time..Why?
[Chorus]
Drive Lyrics – Blind Melon
His feet are dirty
And his face, his face is long
And while he's peeking out
Through his hair he hides the pain
Till that Lennon song comes along
He'll turn it off and say can you drive?
Jimmy, we need to borrow this for a minute
Cause we need to escape
Now there's so many things that
He's gonna do in 5 lifetimes
Hell I could do 'em all
Yeah and while he's rolling his own smokes
He says to me he's buying a new ride today
A classic deal the boss will give
He said the same thing two weeks ago
You've seen that sweaty jet rag
Feeling come over him, and I've
Seen that boy nod into a dream a time or two
And on his way out his glazed stare
Will make you stop and wonder
Hey William is that the last time
I'm gonna look at you?
But the next day phone will ring
And it will be him
Can you drive?
Jimmy, what would you say
what would you do
Oh should I pray?
Or do you think that this blind mind
would listen to me, anyway
And his face, his face is long
And while he's peeking out
Through his hair he hides the pain
Till that Lennon song comes along
He'll turn it off and say can you drive?
Jimmy, we need to borrow this for a minute
Cause we need to escape
Now there's so many things that
He's gonna do in 5 lifetimes
Hell I could do 'em all
Yeah and while he's rolling his own smokes
He says to me he's buying a new ride today
A classic deal the boss will give
He said the same thing two weeks ago
You've seen that sweaty jet rag
Feeling come over him, and I've
Seen that boy nod into a dream a time or two
And on his way out his glazed stare
Will make you stop and wonder
Hey William is that the last time
I'm gonna look at you?
But the next day phone will ring
And it will be him
Can you drive?
Jimmy, what would you say
what would you do
Oh should I pray?
Or do you think that this blind mind
would listen to me, anyway
Time lyrics - bline melon
Said all these people they won't leave me alone
And we need, a little time to ourselves
And half the reasons why
I'm sketchin' all the time
The result of a life in this hell
But oh well, I think it's time
My faith is falling like the leaves from a tree
The pockets both take it away
The sun warms my body as I'm
Sittin' on a swing watching
Columbus clouds bring in the rain
Oh well I think it's time
Its time to go
My mind is playing tricks on me all the time
To let you know that I am real
And all the worries you build
Up inside your soul
The ones that make your world stand still
Mean you can feel, that it's time to go..
Are you fed up, Are you fed up with me?
Do you think you could do better?
Do you think that I know better?
Do they think that they know better?
Five fed up faces with the itch to kill a king
Blood red sunrise, and a breath to air that's clean
I drink from the faucet
From the porch I take a pee
I look at you through the bushes
Where you can't see me
I laugh and slip into another state of mind
To let you know that I am real
And all the worries you build up inside your soul
The ones that make your world stand still
Means you can feel, that it's time to go
And we need, a little time to ourselves
And half the reasons why
I'm sketchin' all the time
The result of a life in this hell
But oh well, I think it's time
My faith is falling like the leaves from a tree
The pockets both take it away
The sun warms my body as I'm
Sittin' on a swing watching
Columbus clouds bring in the rain
Oh well I think it's time
Its time to go
My mind is playing tricks on me all the time
To let you know that I am real
And all the worries you build
Up inside your soul
The ones that make your world stand still
Mean you can feel, that it's time to go..
Are you fed up, Are you fed up with me?
Do you think you could do better?
Do you think that I know better?
Do they think that they know better?
Five fed up faces with the itch to kill a king
Blood red sunrise, and a breath to air that's clean
I drink from the faucet
From the porch I take a pee
I look at you through the bushes
Where you can't see me
I laugh and slip into another state of mind
To let you know that I am real
And all the worries you build up inside your soul
The ones that make your world stand still
Means you can feel, that it's time to go
