1. MAN ON THE SILVER MOUNTAIN
I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel, I can roll, I can feel
And you can't stop me turning
Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun, I can move, I can run
But you'll never stop me burning
Come down with fire, lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name, come and make me holy again
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the day, I'm the day, I can show you the way
And look, I'm right beside you
I'm the night, I'm the night, I'm the dark and the light
With eyes that see inside you
Come down with fire, lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name, come and make me holy again
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain
Come down with fire, lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name, come and make me holy again
I’m the man on the silver mountain
I’m the man on the silver mountain
Well, I can help you, you know I can
I'm the man on the silver mountain
I'm the man on the silver mountain
Just look at me and listen
I'm the man, the man, give you my hand
I'm the man on the silver mountain
Come down with fire, I’ll lift your spirit higher
I'm the man on the mountain, the man on the silver mountain
I'm the night, the light, the black and the white
The man on the silver mountain
The man on the silver mountain
2. SELF PORTRAIT
Paint me a picture and hang it on the wall
Color it dark, yeah the lines must start to crawl
Down, down, down, spin me around and around
Draw me away to the night from the day
Leave not a trace to be found
Down, down, nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Paint me a picture of eyes that never see
With flashes of lightning that burn for only me
Hey, hey, hey, there's only the devil to pay
I'm ready to go, pull me down from below
Give me a place I can lay, hey, hey
Nothing is real but the way that I feel
I feel like going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down, down, down
Nothing is real but the way that I feel
And I feel like going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
3. BLACK SHEEP OF THE FAMILY
I've got nothing in my head, got a floor for a bed
My future's at the bottom of a tea cup
I got a half a pair of shoes, and no time to lose
I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up
So fortune shine your light on me and my nose
Cause we need some security
You get a little bad luck, and it grows and it grows
I'm the black sheep of the family
I've got half a pound of rice, A beard full of lice
A mission called retrogression
I've got a pocket full of dust, and eating is a must
You want to make a good impression
So fortune shine your light on me and my dog
Cause we need some security
While other folks are living high on the hog
I'm the black sheep of the family
Don't talk to me about society
You got to play the rules, or pay the penalty
Because there's nothing to choose, between a handful of blues
Double indemnity
I will walk around, and my shadow's getting long
I realize this song don't need much
But I've got an ache in my head, I wanna go to bed
Tomorrow I don't have to wake up, no
So wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
’Cause it's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way, and it's true they say
I'm the black sheep of the family
Oh, my wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
It's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way, and it's true they say
I'm the black sheep of the family, yeah, yeah
I'm the black sheep of the family, just me and my dog, yeah, yeah
I'm the black sheep of the family, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the black sheep of the family, you've got me on my knees
I'm the black sheep of the family, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
I’m the black sheep of the family
4. CATCH THE RAINBOW
When evening falls, she'll run to me
Like whispered dreams, your eyes can't see
Soft and warm, she'll touch my face
A bed of straw against the lace
We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel with chains made of steel, so bless me
Come the dawn, come the dawn, come the dawn, come the dawn
We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
And sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel with chains made of steel, so bless me
Oh bless me, bless me
Come the dawn, come the dawn, come the dawn, come the dawn
5. SNAKE CHARMER
Old hollow eyes, got no ties
Walking by the light of the moon
Hey shiny boots, with strings and flutes
Rising like a crazy balloon
Close your door, he's on the loose
Umm, here he comes, no hope for you, ooh
Snake charmer, he’ll harm you
So, hey mystery man, what's your plan
Got to tell the world to beware, you don't care
He'll hypnotize and tell you lies
He's hiding at the top of the stairs
Close your door, he's on the move
I see him coming out, there's no hope for you
Ooh, snake charmer, snake charmer, look out
Hey fancy face, got no place
Living from a hole in the ground
Old sparkle eyes, he never cries
One step ahead of the hounds
Close your door, he's on his way
He's coming out of the shadows now, now
No hope for you
Ooh, snake charmer, snake charmer, now listen to me yeah
Hey hollow eyes, got no ties
Old shiny boots play your strings and flutes
Mystery man what's your plan
Fancy face, got no place
Snake charmer, he'll harm you
Old sparkle eyes, got no ties
Ooh shiny boots, slam your door, he's on the loose
Snake charmer
My mystery man, what's your plan
I've got to tell the world to beware, you don't care
He’ll hypnotize, tell you lies, with shiny boots, shiny boots
6. THE TEMPLE OF THE KING
One day in the year of the fox
Came a time remembered well
When the strong young man of the rising sun
Heard the tolling of the great black bell
One day in the year of the fox
When the bell began to ring
Meant the time had come for one to go
To the temple of the king
There in the middle of the circle he stands
Searching, seeking
With just one touch of his trembling hand
The answer will be found
Daylight waits while the old man sings
Heaven help me
And then like the rush of a thousand wings
It shines upon the one
And the day had just begun
One day in the year of the fox
Came a time remembered well
When the strong young man of the rising sun
Heard the tolling of the great black bell
One day in the year of the fox
When the bell began to sing
It meant the time had come for the one to go
To the temple of the king
There in the middle of the people he stands
Seeing, feeling
With just a wave of a strong right hand, he's gone
To the temple of the king
Far from the circle at the edge of the world
He's hoping, wondering
Thinking back from the stories he's heard
Of what he's going to see
There in middle of the circle it lies
Heaven help me
Then all could see by the shine in his eyes
The answer had been found
Back with the people in the circle he stands
Giving, feeling
With just one touch of a strong right hand, they know
Of the temple and the king
7. IF YOU DON’T LIKE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
You'd never know there was some music playing
Until you talked your way inside the door
And then a sound like rolling thunder
Begins to push you right thru the floor
And there's a great white sign, with big black letters
That just about explains it all
If you don't like rock 'n' roll
Well, if you don't like rock 'n' roll
If you don't like rock 'n' roll
Then it's too late now, well it's too late now
Hey, hey, of course there was the usual lady
And she was dressed the way the stories tell
So being cool I made a move to grab her
But you could see she read story well
And then she whipped out a card, with big black letters
That just about explained it all
Well if you don't like rock 'n' roll
If you don't like rock 'n' roll
Well if you don't like rock 'n' roll
Then you're too late now, then you're too late now
Well, if you don't like rock 'n' roll
Well, if you don't like rock 'n' roll, yeah
If you don't like rock 'n' roll
Well it's too late now, well you're too late now
If you don't like rock 'n' roll
If you don't like my rock 'n' roll
Then you're too late now, then you're too late now
Then you're too late, too late now
8. SIXTEENTH CENTURY GREENSLEEVES
It's only been an hour since he locked her in the tower
The time has come, he must be undone by the morning
Many times before, the tyrant's opened up the door
Someone cries, still we close our eyes, not again
Meet me when the sun is in the western skies
The fighting must begin before another someone dies
Cross bows in the fire light
Green sleeves waving, madmen raving
Through the shattered night, yeah
Flames are getting higher, make it leap unto the spire
Draw bridge down, cut it to the ground
We shall dance around the fire
No more night, we have seen the light
Let it shine on bright, hang him higher, higher
(Sixteenth century greensleeves)
Draw bridge down, cut it to the ground
We shall dance around, around the fire, around the fire
No more night, we've seen the light
Let it shine on bright, hang him higher, higher
Put him in the fire
Draw bridge down, cut it to the ground
We gotta dance around the fire, the fire, the fire
There’s no more
9. STILL I’M SAD
