[b]Song:[/b] Llama Song
[b]Artist:[/b] Llama
Here's a llama
There's a llama
And another little llama
Fuzzy llama
Funny llama
Llama llama
Duck
Llama llama
Cheesecake
Llama
Tablet
Brick
Potato
Llama
Llama llama
Mushroom
Llama
Llama llama
Duck
I was once a treehouse
I lived in a cake
But I never saw the way
The orange slayed the rake
I was only three years dead
But it told a tale
And now listen, little child
To the safety rail
Did you ever see a llama
Kiss a llama
On the llama
Llama's llama
Tastes of llama
Llama llama
Duck
Half a llama
Twice the llama
not a llama
Farmer
Llama
Llama in a car
Alarm a llama
Llama
Duck
Is THIS how it's told now?
Is it all so old?
Is it made of lemon juice?
Doorknob
Ankle
Cold
Now my song is getting thin
I've run out of luck
Time for me to retire now
And become a duck
I don't like saying "BEST EVER" because I haven't listened to everything, but my personal favourite lyrics from songs are:
Desolation Row / The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carol - Bob Dylan
Working Class Hero - John Lennon
Sympathy For the Devil - Rolling Stones
I don't really like most of Eminem's stuff, but he has some pretty good lyrics in his songs too.

Song: White Rabbit
Artist: ?
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"[/QUOTE]
The artist is Jefferson Airplane. Esthero did a very good cover of it with the Blue Man Group as well

[QUOTE=Lamb of God - Shoulder of Your God]Death lies eternal
A heathen rapture consumes the light
Impaled on its axis,
The world around me lays down to die
Immaculate contraception
The massive beating, opiate
Apocalyptic conception,
Planted, its seething reprobates
Unremitting desolation
There is no reprieve
The end goes
The angel's eyes are gouged with tragedy
The end goes
The fallen host endure mortality
The end goes
A black pasteur,
devoid of the shepherd,
where you choose to dwell
Venomous concepts,
Catalyst of damnation.
Unease filtered through chemical haze
(You're so far gone.)
Sole purveyor of your own unrest.
Go cry on the shoulder of your god
(You're so far gone.)
The catalyst of damnation.
A lone voice in the void,
There is no reprieve.
The end goes
No answer will be found to the endless Why
The end goes
Deeds done in darkness will always come to light
The end goes.
A black pasteur,
devoid of the shepherd,
where you choose to dwell
Venomous concepts,
Catalyst of damnation
Unease filtered through chemical haze
(You're so far gone)
Sole purveyor of your own unrest
Go cry on the shoulder of your god
(You're so far gone)
The catalyst of damnation
The nephlim walk the earth again
Primordial chaos resurrected
The divine narcotic strung-out seraphim
The catalyst, catalyst of damnation
In the code of life, a spiral death, a rattle from within
The healing sties, no answers lie in a world without end
Venomous concepts,
Catalyst of damnation.
Unease filtered through chemical haze
(You're so far gone.)
Sole purveyor of your own unrest
Go cry on the shoulder of your god
(You're so far gone)
The catalyst of damnation[/QUOTE]
And then there's Octavarium by Dream Theater...I'll just leave the nicely divided Lyric Wiki version instead since it's a 24-minute long epic.
[url=http://lyrics.wikia.com/Dream_Theater:Octavarium]Here. Have fun reading, it's incredible.[/url]
Tool - Prison Sex
It took so long to remember just what happened. I was so young and vestal then, you know it hurt me, but I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive even if signs seem to tell me otherwise. I've got my hands bound, my head down, my eyes closed, and my throat wide open. Do unto others what has been done to you. I'm treading water, I need to sleep a while. My lamb and martyr, you look so precious. Won't you come a bit closer, close enough so I can smell you. I need you to feel this, I can't stand to burn too long. Released in this sodomy. For one sweet moment I am whole. Do unto you now what has been done to me. You're breathing so I guess you're still alive even if signs seem to tell me otherwise. Won't you come just a bit closer, close enough so I can smell you. I need you to feel this. I need this to make me whole. There's release in this sodomy. For I am your witness that blood and flesh can be trusted. And only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind. Got your hands bound, your head down, your eyes closed. You look so precious now. I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this shit blood and cum on my hands. I've come round full circle. My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon. You look so precious.
The National- Mistaken for Strangers. Any lyric by this band is amazing
[quote]You have to do it running but you do everything that they ask you to
cause you don't mind seeing yourself in a picture
as long as you look faraway, as long as you look removed
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over
surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch
another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts
so you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves
so you swear you just saw a feathery woman
carry a blindfolded man through the trees
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over
surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch
another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over
surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch

Fearless Iranians from Hell
I'm gonna kill myself!
I wanna lie, dead on the floor.
It's none of your fucking business!
What I live and die for!
I'm gonna hijack a plane.
I won't do it for glory or fame.
And when they catch me, they'll see I'm insane.
Twitching mind on the raggity shame.
I'd do it over, again and again.
I'd do it over, again and again.
I'd do it over, again and again.
Blow up the Embassy! (x4)
I'm gonna kill a marine.
I wanna ruin his family.
Point a gun at his head.
One shot, then he's dead!
Pull the trigger, again and again.
I Pull the trigger, again and again.
Pull the trigger, again and again.
Pull the trigger one more time!
Blow up the Embassy! (x4)
I'm gonna kill myself!
I wanna lie, dead on the floor.
It's none of your fucking business!
What I live and die for!
Not necessarily my favorite lyrics, but they do bring a smile to my face every time I hear this song
Corrosion Of Conformity - Clean My Wounds
[quote]I see the world through bloodshot eyes, streets filled with blood from distant lies.
The dogs of war never compromise, no real time for rearranging.
Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds, he said he can't heal that kind.
A bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind, he said it happens every time...
Knock it down, and that's how the story goes.
Knock it down, in "The Land Of 1000 No's".
Knock it down, I'm all over you, in time my mind is changing.
Knock it down.
Black on black gives me a heart attack, and the silence makes it deadly.
Some choose to kill with simple will, I've seen them fall fast and steady.
Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds, he said he can't heal that kind.
A bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind, he said it happens every time...
Knock it down, and that's how the story goes.
Knock it down, in "The Land Of 1000 No's".
Knock it down, I'm all over you, in time my mind is changing.
Twist of fate won't give me a break, and myself, I'm slow and tired.
I've got to rise with these bloodshot eyes, but I keep falling when I'm higher.
Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds, he said he can't heal that kind.
A bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind, he said it happens every time...
Knock it down, and that's how the story goes.
Knock it down, in "The Land Of 1000 No's".
Knock it down, we are bleeding sins, but our sins are always fading...
...Fading. (x3)
Knock it down, knock it down. (x3)
Knock it down.[/quote]

[B]Song:[/B] M.O.(Modus Operandi)
[QUOTE]Call off the dogs, pull back the search
I found him over here turning into dirt
This is one sick fuck we got on our hands now
I gotta get my friends and get them out of town
Whoever did this was a fucking pro
Smooth, smart, complex and composed
I swear I think I've seen this very same M.O.
If they knew I killed this monster I'd be joining them in hell soon
I've got this feeling in my gut I can't let go of
All signs point right to where you are I can't control it
Now you're onto me and if it has to be you or me
Then it sure as hell won't be me found six feet down
Everything everyone everywhere ends[/QUOTE]
I've yet to conclude my search for the full lyrics :argh:. It's obvious that there are more lyrics to the song, however no one seems to have put them up anywhere.
So far the only lines I can make out is(anything surrounded by ?s I am unsure about) "I confess ?my sins of my past? I recite these lines"

[quote=Sacred Reich - Heal]I remember, every word you said
I'll remember all until my dying day
I can't forget just what you said meant
But I'll try my best still anyway
Every promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I don't
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds
I remember like it was yesterday
All my days were filled with joy
Then you came in lie a black cloud
And my happiness was destroyed
Every promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I dont
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds
Can't forgive can't forget
I know I will go on
How could I be too blind to see
That you had just led me on
Now you are gone but i can touch
These wounds that I can feel
It's another time in life
My old wounds have healed
That was then and this is now
And those things are now in the past
And I know no matter what
Some things weren't meant to last
Ever promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I don't
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds
Can't forgive can't forget
I know I will go on
How could I bee too blind to see
That you had just led me on
Now you are gone but I can touch
These wounds that I can feel
Its another time in life
My old wounds have healed[/quote]
[quote]Evil minds bent on destruction, ignoring the pleas of their race.
The final chapter in humanic abduction, all signs of society erased.
People asking fewer questions, letting politicians do their thinking.
Not questioning nuclear judgement, as warheads enter our space.
Our atmosphere clouded with poison, we're killing ourselves to live.
Filling the world with hate and dissention, we'll have only our lives to give.
What we do now is the key to the future, we have but ourselves to blame.
For arming the world with the tools of destruction, our ignorance means death.
Warring on opposite nations, starvation amongst impoverished nations.
Outlook bleak for the world population, ignorance of mankind.
Clouding the world with residue, of man's toxic industry.
Slowly killing harmless victims whose ignorance leaves them dead.

Filling the world with hate and dissention, we'll have only our lives to give.
What we do now is the key to the future, we have but ourselves to blame.
For arming the world with the tools of destruction, our ignorance means death.
We're crowded with anger inventions of danger from man's diabolical mind.
Humanity's dying, no use in trying, it's only a matter of time.
How long will it be before there's no air to breathe and our water is polluted.
Ignorance runs rampant, no one is caring, suicide of the human race.
Ignorance.[/quote]
[quote]A vision of unselfishness, a union of black and white.
One nation of all races, it's clear within my sight.
I see it clear, no hate, no fear, no soldiers sent to die.
A state that's free and thrives on peace, no greed, no threat to life.
We won't build the weapons of war which looms over your heads.
We'll not feed the war machines that lead our youth to death.
We won't close our eyes to the atrocities which abound.
We won't stand and watch until we're six feet underground.
The future is our burden, we can't stand and watch.
As the world around crumbles and opposing armies march.
We work towards our goal: One Nation Unity.
And you must be the convert who works towards world peace.
Death won't surround us, we stand and say no way.
Opposing lessened armies, they say are here to stay.
But no one knows until we try, what we all can do.
I won't watch children die, it's up to me and you.
Our world is divided, the boundaries have been drawn.
Ideas are decided by where you have been born.
You can't judge people by the government of their land.
They're flesh and blood like us, why don't you understand?
The future is our burden, we can't stand and watch.
As the world around crumbles and opposing armies march.
We work towards our goal: One Nation Unity.
And you must be the convert who works towards world peace.

[quote=]Johnny can you hear me? Turn that music down!
You're making too much noise! I mean it, do it now!
All that stuff is evil, Ozzy, Judas Priest.
There's backwards messages in that stuff that leads you to the beast!
Johnny can you hear me? Open up that door!
I've been calling you for hours! I won't say it anymore!
Just wait until your dad gets home, and sees what you have done!
Kicked out of school, you've got no job, you're a useless, delinquent, bum!
Oh my god it's Johnny hanging by his neck!
All those metal albums have led him to his death!
Now it's time for parents to open ears and listen.
Maybe it's too late to see what you've been missing.
Music is no cause of death, it's you that suffocates.
If you had opened your eyes and ears, you'd see just who's to blame.
Who's to be responsible for a life that's gone off track?
Who's the one who must be there to see it gets put back?
Where were you to hear the cries of a person in need?
Were you there to see the signs, or were you "too busy"?

[B]Bukowski - Modest Mouse [/B]
Woke up this morning and it seemed to me,
that every night turns out to be
A little more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know h's a pretty good read.
But God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?
God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?
Well we sat on the edge of the river,
the crowd screamed, "Sacrifice the liver!"
If God takes life, he's an Indian giver.
So tell me now why, you'll tell me never.
Who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all.
Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all.
Nine times out of ten our hearts just get dissolved.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
Here we go!
If God controls the land and disease,
keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
my problem is I can't see,
well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know?
Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw?
Well all that icing and all that cake,
I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake.
You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day,
when you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK?
Went to bed and didn't see
why every day turns out to be
a little bit more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
But God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?[/quote]

[B]3rd Planet - Modest Mouse[/B]
Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over
My boss just quit the job
Says he's going out to find blind spots and he'll do it
The third planet is sure that they're being watched
By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped
When you get to the promised land
You're going to shake that eye's hand
Your heart felt good
It was dripping pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees
Felt cold and wet on the grass to me
Well, outside naked, shivering, looking blue
From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon
Baby cum angels fly around you
Reminding you we used to be three and not just two
And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end
Well, a third had just been made and we were swimming in the water
Didn't know then, was it a son, was it a daughter
When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found, another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic
And how
Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth
Your heart felt good
It was dripping pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees
Felt cold and wet on the grass to me
Well, outside naked, shivering, looking blue
From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon
Baby cum angels fly around you
Reminding you we used to be three and not just two
And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end
A third had just been made and we were swimming in the
water
Didn't know then, was it a son, was it a daughter
When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming

Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out-drew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen in the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Cygnus X-1 Book I and Book 2
Book I: The Voyage
[quote]In the constellation of Cygnus
There lurks a mysterious, invisible force
The Black Hole
Of Cygnus X-1
Six Stars of the Northern Cross
In mourning for their sister's loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night...
1
Invisible
To telescopic eye
Infinity
The star that would not die
All who dare
To cross her course
Are swallowed by
A fearsome force
Through the void
To be destroyed
Or is there something more?
Atomized --- at the core
Or through the Astral Door ---
To soar...
2
I set a course just east of Lyra
And northwest of Pegasus
Flew into the light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies,
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery
The x-ray is her siren song
My ship cannot resist her long
Nearer to my deadly goal
Until the Black Hole ---
Gains control...
3
Spinning, whirling,
Still descending
Like a spiral sea,
Unending
Sound and fury
Drowns my heart
Every nerve
Is torn apart....

Book II: Hemispheres
[quote]I. PRELUDE
-------------------------------------------------------------
When our weary world was young
The struggle of the ancients first began.
The gods of Love and Reason
Sought alone to rule the fate of Man.
They battled through the ages,
But still neither force would yield.
The people were divided,
Every soul a battlefield.
II. APOLLO: BRINGER OF WISDOM
-------------------------------------------------------------
"I bring truth and understanding,
I bring wit and wisdom fair,
Precious gifts beyond compare.
We can build a world of wonder,
I can make you all aware.
I will find you food and shelter,
Show you fire to keep you warm
Through the endless winter storm.
You can live in grace and comfort
In the world that you transform."
The people were delighted
Coming forth to claim their prize
They ran to build their cities
And converse among the wise.
But one day the streets fell silent,
Yet they knew not what was wrong.
The urge to build these fine things
Seemed not to be so strong.
The wise men were consulted,
And the Bridge of Death was crossed
In quest of Dionysus,
To find out what they had lost.
III. DIONYSUS: BRINGER OF LOVE
-------------------------------------------------------------
"I bring love to give you solace,
In the darkness of the night,
In the Heart's eternal light.
You need only trust your feelings;
Only love can steer you right.
I bring laughter, I bring music,
I bring joy and I bring tears.
I will soothe your primal fears.
Throw off those chains of reason
And your prison disappears."
The cities were abandoned,
And the forests echoed song.
They danced and lived as brothers;
They knew love could not be wrong.
Food and wine they had aplenty
And they slept beneath the stars.
The people were contented
And the Gods watched from afar.
But the winter fell upon them
And it caught them unprepared,
Bringing wolves and cold starvation,
And the hearts of men despaired.
IV. ARMAGEDDON: THE BATTLE OF HEART AND MIND
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Universe divided
As the Heart and Mind collided,
With the people left unguided
For so many troubled years.
In a cloud of doubts and fears,
Their world was torn asunder into hollow Hemispheres.
Some fought themselves, some fought each other.
Most just followed one another,
Lost and aimless like their brothers,
For their hearts were so unclear,
And the truth could not appear.
Their spirits were divided into blinded Hemispheres.
Some who did not fight
Brought tales of old to light.
My Rocinante' sailed by night
On her final flight.
To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force
We set our course.
Spiralled through that timeless space
To this immortal place.
V. CYGNUS: BRINGER OF BALANCE
-------------------------------------------------------------
I have memory and awareness,
But I have no shape or form.
As a disembodied spirit,
I am dead and yet unborn.
I have passed into Olympus
As was told in tales of old,
To the city of Immortals,
Marble white and purest gold.
I see the gods in battle rage on high,
Thunderbolts across the sky.
I cannot move, I cannot hide,
I feel a silent scream begin inside.
Then all at once the chaos ceased.
A stillness fell, a sudden peace.
The warriors felt my silent cry
And stayed their struggle, mystified.
Apollo was atonished;
Dionysus thought me mad.
But they heard my story further,
And they wondered, and were sad.
Looking down from Olympus
On a world of doubt and fear,
Its surface splintered
Into sorry Hemispheres.
They sat a while in silence,
Then they turned at last to me.
"We will call you Cygnus,
The god of Balance you shall be."
VI. THE SPHERE: A KIND OF DREAM
-------------------------------------------------------------
We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same.
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim.
Let the truth of love be lighted,
Let the love of truth shine clear.
Sensibility, armed with sense and liberty,
With the Heart and Mind united in a single perfect Sphere. [/quote]
Musically Book 1 is my favorite but lyrically Book II is my favorite. I had to post both though since they belong together!
The lyrics of this song are so deep.

Got to be Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned by Tool. It´s a wall of text but it´s a good read. I bet no one´s going to read this, but here it goes:
[quote]Nurse: Excuse me, doctor, do you have a moment?
Doctor: A moment? What's the question?
Nurse: More of a situation, a gentleman in Exam 3.
Doctor: What's the problem?
Nurse: That is the problem: we're not sure.
Doctor: You've got the chart?
Nurse: Right here.
Doctor: Hmm... not much here, is there?
Nurse: No doctor, no obvious physical trauma, vitals are stable.
Doctor: Name?
Nurse: No sir.
Doctor: Did someone drop him off, maybe we can speak to them? Let's get some background on this fellow.
Nurse: No ID, nothing, and he won't speak to anybody.
Doctor: Well, let's say hello.
Doctor: Good morning, I'm Dr. Watson. How are you today? How are you today? Look son, you're in a safe place, we want to help you, in whatever way we can. But you need to talk to us, we can't help you otherwise. Now, what's happened? Tell me everything.[/quote]
[quote]Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will.
10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes,
in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51
Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy
when a flaming stealth banana split the sky
like one would hope but never really expect
to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime
and stopping right at my Birkenstocks,
and me yelping...
Holy fucking shit!
Then the X-Files being,
Looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan
with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of
vanilla Chig Champa
Did a slow-mo Matrix descent
Outta the butt end of the banana vessel
And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw,
and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip,
and all I could think was:
"I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice
that I pissed my fuckin' pants."
So light in his way,
Like an apparition, [that]
He had me crying out,
"Fuck me
It's gotta be
the Deadhead Chemistry
The blotter got [right] on top of me
Got me seein' E-motherfuckin'-T!"
And after calming me down
with some orange slices
and some fetal spooning,
E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose.
He said, "You are the Chosen One,
the One who will deliver the message.
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it
and a warning for those who do not."
Me. The Chosen One?
They chose me!!!
And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school.
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better listen.
Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time Dave floated away
See, my heart is pounding
'Cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now!
It was so real,
Like I woke up in Wonderland.
All sorta terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
While I tell this story.
And can anyone tell me why
Y'all sound like Peanuts parents?
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally, it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
'Cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now!
You believe me, don't you?
Please believe what I've just said!
See the Dead ain't touring
And this wasn't all in my head.
See, they took me by the hand
And invited me right in.
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin.
Strapped down [to] my bed
Feet cold [and] eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed.
Hey ...
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be the One
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending,
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again ...
Typical.
Strapped down [to] my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist * and Sudafed
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help, I'm brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed
I can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to make me out to be the hero
Can't remember what they said
Bob help me!
Can't remember what they said
[We] don't know, [and we] won't know (x12)
God damn, shit the bed![/quote]
Tool has some really good lyrics. This isn´t one of the deep ones, though.
Can't say which one's the best, but Carmelita with GG Allin always gets me.
Warren Zevon needs some credit too, since he made the original lyrics, while GG just changed some shit.
Fantastic song anyhow.
[quote]I hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes, they glow in the dark
And I'm there with you and it's a not-a
And I'm here in echo park
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well I pawned my Smith and Wesson
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on ElDorado Street
At the county chicken stand
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well I'm sitting here playing Russian Roulette
With my pearle handled gun
The county won't give me any more Methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town[/quote]

What makes it even better is the fact that the whole song is continous backronyms.

[QUOTE]
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say. [/QUOTE]

Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.

Actually, Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner gets it.
[quote]Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray
Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war
With their fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese
Roland the Thompson gunner...
His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners, Roland was the best
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head
Roland the headless Thompson gunner
Norway's bravest son
Time, time, time
For another peaceful war
But time stands still for Roland
'Til he evens up the score
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg
Roland the headless Thompson gunner...
The eternal Thompson gunner
still wandering through the night
Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight
In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it [/quote]
Portal in general have amazing philosophical lyrics. I'll put a few snippets from their best songs here.
We Kuffar
[QUOTE]There was a time when this land was a beacon
A cradle of all things, you've wasted their gaze
Beliefs to be built on discoveries to dilate,
Ideas on foundations, not crippling chains
This reckless divorce of compassion and reason
Of rational thinking, no harem awaits.
And for your indifference, your indoctrinations,
Immoral misgivings, our lives to the fates.
Know this forever that we were no martyrs,
No god fearing zealots, we fight for the truth.
We're secular beings, more humbled by questions
Than outdated answers that mesmerise you[/QUOTE]Your Kettle
[QUOTE]I can't believe this isn't yesterday, a child would suffice in your stead
Such simple lines we draw for love and life, for most sufficient left unsaid.
The journey's long and hard, not without pain, we may not always mark our ways,
With deeds of pride and deeds of dignity, but learn with every passing day.
This' not the first and far from last I'm sure, that unto others found neglect,
Ten years too long for immaturity, too short for clever to forget.
Advising readings to accommodate the heightened senses that you've made,
In spite of reason and experience, the pot is blackened, kettle fades.
It'll dissipate,
There isn't much time.
Won't sedate,
A moments pause to ruminate
Then forward worry free.
But I'll not forget,
Your ever lurking silhouette.
Bereft of any real regret,
Projecting faults on me.
I should have read I could have seen,
It's all in line with all I've known.
Glass house fingers pointing outward,
No reflection nothing shown.
Catch phrase optics, aberrations,
All seems fair in greed and war.
No more, I'm through, I'm not your kettle.
I should have read I could have seen,
It's all in line with all you've shown.
Sheltered youth that's far from over,
Sense of self so privilege grown.
Politics of avaritia,
Hoarding yours and seeking more.
That's it, I'm through, I'm not your kettle[/QUOTE]
Avaritia is latin for greed it turns out.

You were just a waste of sperm
They way you look
Makes my stomach turn
The way you think
Is no way at all
God you really think you have balls
I hate you Ain't it true
I hate you And everything you do
You walk around like a fucking dick
And everytime you're near
You know I get real sick
You're so stupid
There's nothing in your head
God how I wish that you were dead
I hate you
Ain't it true
I hate you
And everything you do

Nobody wanna struggle at home,
Bass in his voice, Trouble in her tone.
What kind of couple makes a puzzle out of stone?
Choppin' and poppin' all of the bubbles that are blown.
Nobody wanna be wrong,
And once the line gets drawn across what we disagree upon,
It could be the time bomb that we sleep on,
It's just a little one, back and forth like a ping pong.
Nobody wants an argument,
You try to bargain as a friend,
But it's hard to with a star offense against a smart defense.
And the history you share's full of scars and dents,
Nobody likes breakin' up,
When you hate the situation but you crave the touch,
You might stay in the relationship
For the simple sake of it because you know it's based in love.
Free fallin' when your shook from the pack,

Nobody wanna go to work,
For some older jerk that doesn't know the dirt,
That's embedded in the hearts of those that hurt,
Monday through Friday and Saturdays for bonus perks,
Nobody befriends the beast,
Just to make ends meet and try to pay rent and eat,
Spread sheets by the end of the week,
You'd rather spread those sheets and try to get some sleep.
Nobody wanna lift a crate,
That ain't livin' great,
You want a kid and play,
You should dip or skate
No two week notification,
Show up late and quit today!
Nobody wants an awful boss
That's got you poppin' off the top of your mouth as if it's common talk,
You oughta' wait until you off the clock,
And appreciate the fact that you've got a job.

But somebody wants that life you got,
They think your boyfriend's nice or your wife is hot,
They on your block looking at that home you bought,
They'd move in today if that door wasn't locked.
Nowadays you oughta' watch your spot,
Even with all the flaws of that boss you mock,
You can still close your eyes and toss a rock,
I bet you'd hit someone that'd love to cop your job.
That's what I thought, of course you don't stop.
You won't take the shot, you can't afford the loss,
If you don't wanna taste the sauce,
Then put the plate down and take a walk,
Drop or move away from the pot,
Cuz every time you talk, complain a lot,
Don't forget to count the balls y'all caught,
Enjoy what you got before it all falls off.
