Sometimes Time: 2:40 Vedder |
Large fingers pushin' paint... You're God and you got big hands... The colors blend... The challenges you give man...
Seek my part...devote myself... |
|
Hail Hail Time: 3:41 Gossard, Vedder, Ament, McCready |
Ah, is there room for both of us? Both of us apart? Are we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got? I get the words, and then I get to thinkin' But I don't want to think, I want to feel! How do I feel? And how do I...
If you're the only one, well I'll never be enough, yeah...
A-how I love you till the day I die...ah, and beyond...
I sometimes realize...I could only be as good as you'll let me...
I find it on my run in a race that can't be won, yeah... |
|
Who You Are Time: 3:48 Gossard, Irons, Vedder |
Come to send, not condescend Transcendental consequences to transcend... Where we are...Who are we? Who we are...
Trampled moss on your souls...
Take me a for a ride before we leave... ...miraculous...and a little...
Just a little time, before we leave... |
|
In My Tree Time: 3:59 Irons, Gossard, Vedder |
Up here in my tree, yeah... Newspapers matter not to me, yeah...no... No more crowbars to my head, yeah... I'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah...
Wave to all my friends, yeah...
Up here so high I start to escape
I remember him, yeah...
I'm so light, the wind he shakes
Up here so high, the bars they break... |
|
Smile Time: 3:52 Ament, Vedder |
Don't it make you smile? (2x) When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all... Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make you smile?
I miss you already, yeah...I miss you always...
I...I miss you already, yeah...I miss you always...
The crooked heart swells around, yeah... |
|
Off He Goes Time: 5:58 Vedder |
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4... Know a man...his face seemed pulled and tense... Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds... So I approach with tact...suggest that he should relax... But he's always movin' much too fast...
Said he'll see me on the flipside
He's yet to come back...but I've seen his picture...
I wonder 'bout his insides...
And now I rub my eyes...for he has returned...
And now he's home, and we're laughing, like we always did... |
|
Habit Time: 3:35 Vedder |
See it happen to a couple of friends See it happen and the message it sends Taking off for what's an obvious fall Just to see what all the fuss is about
It's not your way...not your way...
Another habit, sentence him up with you
It's not your way...not your way...
Never thought you'd habit... (3x) Speaking as a child of the nineties...
Never thought you'd habit... (3x) |
|
Red Mosquito Time: 4:03 Ament, Gossard, Irons, McCready, Vedder |
Watched from the window with a red mosquito... I was not allowed to leave the room... I saw the sun go down, and now it's comin' up... Somewhere in the time between...
I was bitten...must have been the devil...
Red man's your neighbor, call it behavior... If I had known then what I now know... (4x) |
|
Lukin Time: 1:02 Vedder |
Drive down the street, can't find the keys to my own fucking home I take a walk so I can curse my ass for being dumb I make a right after the arches, stinking grease and bone Stop at the supermarket, people stare like I'm a dog
I've been goin' to Lukin's...I gotta spot that Lukin's...
I find the key, but I return to find an open door |
|
Present Tense Time: 5:46 McCready, Vedder |
Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire? Leaning out to catch the sun's rays...a lesson to be applied... Are you gettin' something out of this all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh...
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh... |
|
Mankind Time: 3:28 Gossard |
You'll be...going out with radio... Going out with disco...going out like bacchanal... I'll be...going out with telephone... Going out alone...to the radar zone...
It's all just inadvertent, imitation, and I don't mean mine
I'll be...playing with my magazine...
It's all just inadvertent, imitation, and I don't mean mine
If it's just inadvertent, imitation, a pattern in all mankind |
|
I'm Open Time: 2:53 Irons, Vedder |
A man lies in his bed in a room with no door He waits, hoping for a presence; something, anything to enter After spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank As the ceiling at which he stared He is alive, but feels absolutely nothing So, is he?
When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him
I'm open... (2x)
Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers he decides to dream... |
|
Around the Bend Time: 4:35 Vedder |
I'm wishing you a-well...mind at peace within yourself... Covers up, I cast you off...I'll be watching as you breathe.... I'd lie still, you move, I'd send you off around the bend...
I hold your head deep in my arms...my fingertips they close your eyes...
All the evenings close like this...all these moments that I've missed...
You're an angel when you sleep...
