Long Way Down
(Look What the Cat Drug In)
Oh man,
look what the cat drug in
It's got the dress, tho the color's gone
that I gave my one true love on
Oh man, look what the blew home
Never had this much stimulation
since her low down elevation, but
Oh, don't look in those eyes
bluer than blue
her rule's on the rise
and if I wear apathy's crown
don't call me higness
it's a long way down
Oh, what terrible things she shows
I'm overwhelmed by rumors this high
and overcome by lows
Oh, what use is it to pretend
that I have the strength for this anymore
This is all in the world that she lives for but...
Oh, don't look in those eyes
bluer than blue
her rule's on the rise
and if I wear apathy's crown
don't call me higness
('cause) it's a long way down
Now I would suppose
that I'm not the only one
and one never knows...
but I got a feeling she's been
sleeping with the whole wide world
Oh, don't look in those eyes
bluer than blue
her rule's on the rise
and if I wear apathy's crown
don't call me higness
it's a long way down

Wise Up
It's not
What you thought
When you first began it
You got
What you want
Now you can hardly stand it though,
By now you know
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
You're sure
There's a cure
And you have finally found it
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down
But it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
Prepare a list of what you need
Before you sign away the deed
'Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
So just...give up

Dead from the Waist Down
Catatonia
the sun is shining
we should be making hay
but we`re dead from the waist down
like in californ i a
victory is empty there are lessons in defeat
but we`re dead from the waist down
we are sleeping on our feet
we stole the songs from the birds in trees
bought us time on easy street
now our paths,they never meet
we chose to court and flatter greed, ego disposability
i caught a glimpse, and it`s not me
make hay not warmake hay not war
make hay not war
or else we`re done for
and we`re dead from the w down
there`s no contracts binding
no bad scene beyone repair
but when you`re dead from the waist down
you`re too far gone to even care
we stole the songs from the birds in trees
bought us time on easy street
now our paths, they never meet
we chose to court and flatter greed, ego dispoability
i caught a glimpse, and it`s not me
make hay not war
make hay not war
make hay not war
or else we`re done for
and we`re dead from the waist down
the sun is shining

Honest With Me
Well, I'm stranded in the city that never sleeps
Some of these women they just give me the creeps
I'm avoidin' the Southside the best I can
These memories I got, they can strangle a man
Well I came ashore in the dead of the night
Lot of things can get in the way when you're tryin' to do what's right
You don't understand it - my feelings for you
You'd be honest with me if only you knew
I'm not sorry for nothin' I've done
I'm glad I fought - I only wish we'd won
The Siamese twins are comin' to town
People can't wait - they're gathered around
When I left my home the sky split open wide
I never wanted to go back there - I'd rather have died
You don't understand it - my feelings for you
You'd be honest with me if only you knew
My woman got a face like a teddy bear
She's tossin' a baseball bat in the air
The meat is so tough you can't cut it with a sword
I'm crashin' my car, trunk first into the boards
You say my eyes are pretty and my smile is nice
Well, I'll sell it to ya at a reduced price
You don't understand it - my feelings for you
You'd be honest with me, if only you knew
Some things are too terrible to be true
I won't come here no more if it bothers you
The Southern Pacific leaving at nine forty-five
I'm having a hard time believin' some people were ever alive
I'm stark naked, but I don't care
I'm going off into the woods, I'm huntin' bare
You don't understand it - my feelings for you
Well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew
I'm here to create the new imperial empire
I'm going to do whatever circumstances require
I care so much for you - didn't think that I could
I can't tell my heart that you're no good
Well, my parents they warned me not to waste my years
And I still got their advice oozing out of my ears
You don't understand it - my feelings for you
Well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew

Bound For The Floor
Born to be down
I've learned all my lessons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get used to it
And you just don't get it
you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it
You know it's so pathetic
Born to be down
I think that I've said this before now
Born to be down
What good is confidence?
And you just don't get it
You keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it
You know it's so pathetic
And you don't

ROGER WATERS
WITHOUT BLAME
All women are queens
But some are more regal than others
Some shatter men's dreams
By breaking away from their lovers
Of one such woman I sing
Who said when her man let the enemy in
I'm gone, gone with the wind
The love you would not defend with your life
You cannot pretend now with tears in your eyes
I'm gone, gone with the wind
I'm gone in search of a new king
All women are queens
No matter what their environs
Behind the myriad shapes that we see
Dwell mysterious sirens
Burn the towns
Burn the back street bars
Burn your boardwalk basement trade
Feel the flame feel the cut of the sword
your living flesh reeks of compromise made
In the face of barbarian hoards
An honest defeat is the only reward
The love you would not defend with your life
You cannot pretend now with tears in your eyes
I'm gone, gone with the wind
I'm gone in search of a new king
All women are queens
Tell this to the woman who loves you
You may not live up to her dreams
This even a king cannot always do
So this queen with her pure strength unveiled
Leaves the king a good man but weak and afraid
She leaves as she must like an ebbing tide
Drawn out of sight by the moons of pure light
The love that you would not defend with your life
You cannot pretend with tears in your eyes
I am gone, gone with the wind
I am gone in search of a new king
I am gone
Without blame

Rise Inside
rise inside, free your mind
raise your fist to signify
we stand in defiance of hatred and deception
if i stand alone i will fight for you
the time has come to make a difference
why have we forsaken love
the time has come to raise our voices
so rise up and fight with me
embrace what we have
it might be the last time in this life we will rise
if we find the strength to unify
hatred is a weakness, you become the victim
i believe love will overcome
time has come to make a difference
why have we forsaken one another
It's always funny until someone gets hurt, and then it's just hilarious

Blow Out
In my mind
And nailed into my heels
All the time
Killing what I feel
And everything I touch
{all wrapped up in cotton wool}
{all wrapped up in sugar - coated pills}
Turns to stone
Everything I touch
{all wrapped up in cotton wool}
{all wrapped up in sugar - coated pills}
Turns to stone
I am fused
Just in case I blow out
I am glued
Just in case I crack out
And everything I touch turns to stone
Everything I touch
{all wrapped up in cotton wool}
{all wrapped up in sugar - coated pills}
Turns to stone
