Bush - Golden State (2001)
01. Solutions
Devil you know
Is back here again
Devil is stoned
He's making friends
We move, we break
We're sun, we're shade
You come, you go
We're fast, we're slow
Blood on your dress
Hole in your sky
Blanket has gone
To permanent night
We're glued, we break
We're all dilate
We please, we pain
Again
She checks her head
She's in the smoke
Figuring which way to turn
Now she's got the rope
We need solutions
A brain megaphone
You've broken your shoes
You look like winter
You're all in a bruise
Handful of splinters
We brood, we flake
We torch, we take
Rebound, rebirth
Cocooned from hurt
I could be wrong
I could be right
But do you think we'll make it
Out of here alive
We need solutions
A brain megaphone
We need solutions
We need to call this home
A brain megaphone
She makes me see God
I'm out on a line
Any way the pleasure comes
We need solutions
A brain megaphone
We need solutions
We got to call this home
02. Headful Of Ghosts
I stand around at American weddings
I stand around for family
At my best when I'm terrorist inside
At my best when it's all me
I was there when you took all the people
I was alone in a mental ravine
You breathe life when you break the walls down
You breathe life when you set me free
Where is my head
Where are my bones
Why are my days so far from home
Where is my head
Where are my bones
Can you save me from myself
Free-thinking renegade social
Mr. Moon a man now
In a slipstream of my possibilities
I got the boat so we don't drown
These are the days that are split down the middle
No words to calm me down
I'll be sure that what you dream of
Won't come to hunt you out
Where is my head
Where are my bones
Why are my days so far from home
Ghostman
Where is my head
Where are my bones
How come we get so lost
Ghostman
Where is my head
Where are my bones
Can you save me from myself
I stand around at american weddings
I stand around for family
At my best when I'm terrorist inside
At my best when it's on me
Ghostman
How come we get so lost
Ghostman
Where is my head
Where are my bones
Can you save me from myself
03. The People That We Love
Speed kills, coming down the mountain
Speed kills, coming down the street
Speed kills with presence of mind, and
Speed kills, if you know what I mean
I got to feel, woke up inside again
I got to feel, less broke, more fixed
I got to feel, when I got outside myself
I got to feel, when I touched your lips
The things we do to the people that we love
The way we break if there's somethin' we can't take
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time
I wish her safe from harm
'Til you find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee, outsider refugee
How's it feel, she's comin' up roses?
How's it feel, she's comin' up sweet?
How's it feel, when it's all in spite of you?
How's it feel when she's out of your reach?
The things we do to the people that we love
The way we break if there's somethin' in the way
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time
I wish her safe from harm
'Til you find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee, outsider refugee
What happened to you?
The things we do to the people that we love
That we love
04. Superman
Crucified for atonal sins
Re-invent myself, shed my alter-skin
Tried to break the mold, severed whole
First you find your threshold bevels
Breathing out your toxic levels
Long slow rope is hangin'
Now we know what's comin'
Oh, superman
Where have you gone?
With a little more time and a six-leaf clover
Just a little more head to make you bolder
Just a little more sound (Sound)
Baby's playin' tricks, you know
She got sucked so dry
We destroy ourselves to rise again
Open up yourself like a Jesus son
Only way out is through, the way past you
First you get to human level
Run right through your bullshit pedals
Long slow rope is hangin'
Now we know what's comin'
Oh, superman
Where have you gone?
With a little more time and a six-leaf clover
Just a little more head to make you bolder
Just a little more sound, just a little more sound
Just a little more sound (Sound)
Baby's playin' tricks, you know
You got sucked so dry and you only know how to lose
Long slow rope is hangin'
Oh, superman
What have you gone?
With a little more time and a six-leaf clover
Just a little more head to make you bolder
Just a little more sound, a little more sound
05. Fugitive
We got the soul, we got the honey
To stay alive, we keep on running
House is on fire, we're petrol-stained
We stay on the move, ahead of the flames
We are the new accelerators
Faster we go before they make us
Maybe we did, maybe we don't
Let's see your face as you throw the stone
I am a fugitive on the run
I carry the weight of what I've done
Those born of sweat
Through eyes of love
Bring more light
Than 5000 hertz
It's not where you're from, but where you go
And what you believe is more than you know
Open your head, open your head
Hold me close as we jump off the edge
I am a fugitive on the run
I carry the weight of what I've done
So don't carry the weight
Don't carry the weight
You can't change the world
But you can change what's to come
I am a fugitive on the run
I carry the weight of what I've done
So don't carry the weight
Don't carry the weight
06. Hurricane
Sky's ripped open by the sun
Daylight comes but not soon enough
Speed down your track in search of you
Strapped to the back of what we do
Anaesthetise these troubled nerves
Over to you to make it work
Agents of change set headfires
I'd rather starve than fake alive
Lost to the cities of the night
Lost in the world of make it right
Heartbreak
Heartbreakin' novacaine
Won't help the pain
I'm out of control
I'm in a hurricane
Head and heart have broken down
Out of control
I'm in a hurricane
I win some ground but lose you
It's never explained how to make it through
No rope, no cash, no serpentine
All love buried on a bonfire
Heartbreak
Heartbreakin' novacaine
Won't help the pain
I'm out of control
I'm in a hurricane
Head and heart have broken down
Out of control
I'm in a hurricane
Head and heart have broken down
Good to see you follow
Good to see you come again
Hurricane
I'm in a hurricane
I'm in a hurricane, all these miles of water
Out of control
I'm in a hurricane
Head and heart have broken down
Hurricane, miles of water
Hurricane, all these miles of water
I'm in a hurricane, all these miles of water
07. Inflatable
Let it slide overhead
When I believe in you, my soul can rest
But this love, it's really love
It can never fail, but fail it does
When we shine like the sun
You seem the only one, my only friend
You're so pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
When you're faithful
I resigned from myself
Took a break as someone else
It's like I come undone
And I've only just become inflatable for you
You're so pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
When you're faithful
I don't mind most of the time
But you push me so far inside
You're so pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
When you're faithful
08. Reasons
Watch the water feed the soil so the circle is complete
See what you have become is the earth beneath my feet
Are there any stains on your alabaster feet
What's the space between what you want and what you need
So you'll never be lonely again
Never be lonely again
Waiting for this love
To bring me close to you
Who are you and where are you in my life
I was wondering how much of me is still alive
I don't even know if I can swim again
You know how cold we get with all your struggling
Try to find ourselves, see what is real
It gets so hard at times to know just what to feel
Never be lonely again
Waiting for this love
To bring me close to you
I got reasons
09. Land Of The Living
I found myself in another world
I found myself alive and well
I am the vapor, I am the gas
You be the angel of everything
This is the land of the living
This is the land of reprisal
This is the land of the living
I lost myself to a wider plain
I opened up I'm not the same
I am electric, made of wire
You'll be the match, I'll be the fire
This is the land of the living
This is the land of reprisal
This is the land of the living
In myself, I tried for you
Walk a thousand miles to get us through
Airwaves, jetplanes
Safe landing, no branding
Land
This is the land of the living
The land of reprisal
10. My Engine Is With You
What makes it go round the way we're up and down
We're minutiae staring at the whole sky
Battle sense to keep you apprehensive
I guess no one is the same
We're all through different lenses
The bladder will filter all the pain
And the gut has sides you can't restrain
You are everything to me
You are cobalt elemental
A new lagoon five years down the line
And all I want is a lot of your time
These days when clouds come in
Heat broke, no smoke without a fire
Heat broke, no smoke
Infractions of the landscape
In a world we learn to escape
Bad weather comes
But we have wood to burn
That which only gives
Will always bring you through
My engine is with you
Kilburn and California
Makes you wonder what it's all for
Feed the lesson to the plate
Twenty-one centuries
And I'm just starting to move
Wreckless times like poison to the mood
Daylight comes all too soon
Accusations bruises to the head
Planet waves to test your lead
Infractions of the landscape
In a world we learn to escape
Bad weather comes
But we have wood to burn
That which only gives
Will always bring you through
My engine is with you
Tie me in with electric line
Bathe me in bacchanalian wine
If I with you to gold worlds of true moans
And the eyes that see the same pool
If not the same water
You are everything to me
You are cobalt elemental
Bad weather comes
But we have wood to burn
That which only gives
Will always bring you through
My engine is with you
11. Out Of This World
When we die
We go into the arms of those
Who remember us
We are home now
Out of our heads
Out of our minds
Out of this world
We're out of this time
Are you drownin' or wavin'?
I just want you to save me
Should we try to get along?
Just try to get along
So we move
We change by the speed of the choices
That we make
And the barriers
Are all self-made
That's so retrograde
Are you drownin' or wavin'?
I just need you to save me
Should we try to get along?
Just try to get along
I am alive
I'm awake to the trials of confusion
We create
There were times I feel
The way we're about to break
When there's too much to say
We are home now
Out of our heads
Out of our minds
Out of this world
We're out of this time
12. Float
It's a beautiful world
Everyone's insane
Either you swim
Either you fade
It's a revolution time
We're sleeping at the wheel
Apocalypse child
In a nuclear field
We wanna change the world
But not what holds us back
I want to be for you
What I've never had
And all of this time
I was just tryin' to reach you
Through the rain traffic
As you float into space
Your white eyes
Hide your face
As you float in between
I am with you
If you leave
Fragile to the waves
Vicissitudes of days
When I am with you
I feel a little brave
But the madness and the wars
The circles that we run
Confusion we import
Look what we have become
And all of this time
I was just tryin' to reach you
Through the rain traffic
As you float into space
Your white eyes
Hide your face
As you float in between
I die with you
If you leave
As you float
As you float into space
Your white eyes
Hide your face
As you float in between
I die with you
If you leave
As you float
I die with you
