Middle 3 verses from "Rex's Blues" by Townes van Zandt.

Legs to walk and thoughts to fly
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry
A restless tongue to classify
All born to grow and grown to die

So tell me baby I said so long
Tell my mother I did no wrong
Tell my brother to watch his own
And tell my friends to mourn me none

I'm chained upon the face of time
feelin' full of foolish rhyme
There ain't no dark till something shines
I'm bound to leave this dark behind

Default Ive Seen All Good People - YES

I've Seen All Good People.
Artist: Yes

I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way

Take a straight and stronger course to the corner of your life
Make the white queen run so fast she hasn't got time to make you a wife

'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
its news is captured...for the queen to use!
Move me on to any black square
Use me anytime you want
Just remember that the goal
Is for us all to capture all we want
(Move me on to any black square)

Don't surround yourself with yourself
Move on back two squares
Send an instant karma to me
Initial it with loving care
(Don't surround yourself)

'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
its news is captured...for the queen to use!

Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda
(Don't surround yourself with yourself)

Don't surround yourself with yourself
(Don't surround yourself)
Move on back two squares
Send an instant karma to me
(Send an instant karma to me)
Initial it with loving care
(Don't surround yourself)

'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
its news is captured...for the queen to use!

Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (All we are saying)
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (Is give peace a chance)
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (All we are saying)
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (Is give peace a chance

'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
its news is captured...

[II All Good People]

I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
So satisfied I'm on my way

I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
So satisfied I'm on my way...

Nothing more than something
They invest in.
I've seen this text in online lyrics sites as well, but in my version of the song (which is the original album version to the best of my knowledge), he sings "do what they do just to be" instead of "cultivate their flowers to be". Anyone can clear that up?

Default So many...

Lyrics that immediately came to mind was from the song 'Inside The Particle Storm' - Dark Tranquility

Inside the particle storm
Where clouds of napalm shimmer
With the promise of one final dawn

Inside the particle bliss
Where ages collide into nothingness
Obliteration's one final kiss

A claw in the garden of eden
Clogging the bloodstream of birth
Tearing a hole in the fabric of life
The horizon enriched with scars

Inside the particle blaze
A chamber of dissolution
Proclaiming the end of days

We leave now
Nothing will follow, nothing at all
The cleansing flames of entropy
To devour us all

Our lungs are filled with sarin
Our children drowning like dogs
Handcuffed to the weight of cold dark matter
Without purpose, meaning, or name

Inside the particle storm
The poison gene of humanity
Nullified

This is the moment
When black ships anchor to the sky
The heavy hands of chaos
Descend in merciless demise

this one practically sums up my entire adolescent romantic desires:-

Jesus and Mary Chain - Taste of Cindy

Crack of dawn
Cindy's movin' on
Talking Cindy to everyone
Until she's had her fun

Betwixt the sun and sea
Still she's talking to everyone
Cindy's had her fun

Though I've heard it before
Still I need you more and more
But I just can't get away
Cindy kills me every day

And I tried and I tried
But you looked right through me
Knife to my head when she talks so sweetly
Knife in my head when I think of Cindy
Knife in my head is the taste of Cindy

Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife:

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
so unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind

Gave me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

(Guitar Solo)
(Screaming)
(Laughing)

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Crap its a rammstein song zestrofen its song the meaning behind is the singer is pretty much explaining the thirst of man to destroy what isn't there's... ill just put the english lyrics since German would be pointless...

Love, my beloved, don't you cry, god

Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes

I want to tend to my things
and reduce the rest to rubble

Ripping, Bashing
Crushing, Picking

I go along the garden fence
and feel the urge again

I must destroy Yes, yes, yes (but only if it does not belong to me)
I must destroy Yes, yes, yes (but only if it does not belong to me)
NO!

I'll take your belongings
I'll annihilate them

Sawing, Stripping
Not asking, Smashing

And now the supreme discipline
pulling the head off the doll

Hurting, tearing
corroding,

destroying Yes, yes, yes (but only if it does not belong to me)
I must destroy Yes, yes, yes (but only if it does not belong to me)
NO!

I would like to destroy something
But only if it does not belong to me
I want to be a good boy
but the desire over takes me

I must destroy Yes, yes, yes (But only if it does not belong to me)
I must destroy Yes, yes, yes (But only if it does not belong to me)
NO!

Ripping, bashing
crushing, picking
Copping and stealing
not asking, smashing
Tearing, hurting
Burning then running
Sawing, stripping
Breaking, avenging

DESTOYING! Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes

YES!


He met a girl who was blind
Shared her pain and like minded
saw a star go from the sky
and wished that she could see
she opened her eyes
and left him in the same night
