Bad Vibrations Lyrics – The Black Angels

One-Two-Three-Four

Can you tell a wish from a spell?
A hug from a lie?
They both make you feel so gone
We warned you from harm again
You're beating hearts again

We made love in June,
I heard it from you
You were my best friend
You used my name

Hit hard with harm,
She loves to off you then yawn
Never disarm, you know she loves to be drawn
You're leaching hard friend
I'm feeling down again

We made love with few,
I took it from you
You were my worst friend,
I felt that way

Braiding her hair,
You can tell her from here
Drink her last tear,
Yeah, you die for your dear
Bad vibes around her,
She's eating hearts again

We made love in June,
I heard it from you
You were my best friend
You used my name

Haunting At 1300 McKinley Lyrics – The Black Angels

I don't stay after 6
Oh no, it's way to dark
"You're frightened," she said
"No one can hear us at all"

There was this thought I was sane
Until I met that red dame

"Don't be worried,"
Is all she said
"Oh baby you whine
Yeah, you cry all the time"

The bed spread is green
You talk, dress, and think
We leave before it gets dark
Walk steady with you in arms
So don't be around me,
Yeah, I'm gone you see

"In the night I roam
Hey, hey, hey"
I guess I'll pack my things

"In the night I roam
Hey, hey, hey"
"In the night I roam
Hey, hey, hey"
"In the night I roam
Hey, hey, hey"

Yellow Elevator #2Lyrics – The Black Angels

Picture the skyline right over the sky
Picture your image right over your eye
Now you see you see it fall
Now you see you see you fall

See your friends around the temple on the street downtown,
Run forth to tell them all the truth that you've found
One by one they go up inside,
I thought that I'd been left behind too

Yellow elevator, yellow elevator,
Yellow elevator, yellow elevator

Stuck on the ground 'til
I found another way there,
Now you take a ride
On that yellow elevator

Seeing thru golden light

Pierce that ceiling with the light that you find
Try behold the spirit it can burn your eyes,
You hold the fire and catch your soul
I held the fire and I want it so, again

Yellow elevator, yellow elevator,
Yellow elevator, yellow elevator

Nothing's the same after that elevator
Nothing's the same after that yellow elevator

Seeing thru golden light

Now I can see how the seasons all repeat
And that love makes new things out of nothing that it needs
The generation born will grow from all the crimes before,
And then stack up with all the heads
That are piled outside your door

I understand that I exist in the between,
Of what was and what will be in those blurry vision scenes,
That appear but pass us by and for a moment get you high,
'til you find your way back down
Become the truth you've found

Sunday Afternoon Lyrics – The Black Angels

Come on, over here
It's all right, over here
In the silent, empty places,
It's shining, in the shadows

It's all right, over here
It's OK, over here
Up in my tree, where you can see
Crystal visions, on a Sunday

You know that you don't even know
(Yeah yeah yeah)
You think just like they told you to
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Look within you for the Kingdom,
Then you'll see, you can see.

Come on, over here
It's all right, over here
In the middle, of the daytime,
Fell the colours, pull from inside

And come on, over here,
It's all right, over here
With your new eyes, turn on your light
Let your love glow, leave your Ego

You know that you've just got to go
(Yeah yeah yeah)
You were blind, trapped inside their sty
(Yeah yeah yeah)
But now you see that you know nothing
So just go and let it show

River Of Blood Lyrics – The Black Angels

Trail away, an endless day,
It happens once in your life
To be enthroned, in your home
Well, meet me by the drum
Amen

(River of blood, river of blood)
(River of blood, river of love)

Wreckin' days, you're flawless in ways,
We break for the countryside
The rebels were all shocked to find
No food or guns in those mines
You're sitting ducks (river of blood)
On this river of blood,
On this river of

Safe to stay, streams of red and grey,
It happens once in a while
A freedom chase, right next to me,
You've brought them their last wife
But, it's not enough (river of blood)
On this river of blood
On this river of
On this river of

I hear footsteps coming near us
They're getting louder, I am frightened
This is it yeah, we are ready!

Superkilling rings headed for me,
You're too damn human darlin'
New voices spinning in circles
I'll do what they tell me,
If they get me

You and I, will never know,
Probably be dead by tomorrow
You and I, will never know
You and I, you can know you and I
It wasn't like they told me
(I can't believe we got away)
This isn’t like they told me
In the same room,
With the same blood,
Speaking freely,
Talking has never been so easy

On this river of blood
On this river of
On this river of

Entrance Song Lyrics – The Black Angels

Rollin' fast down I-35,
Supersonic overdrive
Rollin' fast down I-35,

Bendin' time, feelin' fine

Insterstellar hyperdrive

Phosphene Dream Lyrics – The Black Angels

The sky is blue and you are too
I feel like running
Your eyes are red and mine are too
I feel like laughing
The wind said nothing, nothing at all
It all meant someone was gonna fall

In the middle of summer
No one haunts me like you do

Mom and Dad look old again
Where am I heading?
My two sisters miss me yes,
Without me knowing
It all meant something,
Something to us all
The wind said nothing,
Nothing at all

In the middle of winter
No one haunts me like you do
In the middle of winter
No one haunts me like you

Our president then was dead to us
Hallelujah!
He takes his pills so he can kill
Praise the Bible

I need no pills to kill
Hallelujah!
I need no pills to kill
Raise the rifle

Oh, the Phosphene Dream,
The Phosphene Dream
Oh, the phosphene,
The Phosphene Dream
Oh, the Phosphene Dream,
The Phosphene Dream
Oh, the Phosphene Dream,
The phosphene

True Believers Lyrics – The Black Angels

In the middle of the holding out,
Nobody will be dropped out
Except fake gods whose faux pas
Are offsetting bets
Well who knows yeah who knows
Which birds will be left,
To sing and sing and sing for me?
Well who knows which birds
Will be left for me?

Hare came to me
In the month of August
Mary loves Sally the most
Maybe Buddha is the true
Son of God's kiss
Maybe you'll never know

"Woohoo," they sang
As they crossed the river
"Woohoo," they said
As they prayed to Jesus
Woohoo, the walls fell on Jericho

Well who knows,
Yeah who knows
Which birds will be left,
To sing and sing
And sing for me?
Yeah who knows which birds
Will be left for me?
Well no one knows

"Woohoo," they yelled
When they came to Mecca
Beat them as they go
"Woohoo," they said
As they read the Vedas
Leave them, let them go

Spinning Sufis on their heads
Are hearing tones of wisdom
Devilish women warning
Men of their actions,
Now bring them
To you and me

Telephone Lyrics – The Black Angels

You never call my name
On the telephone
You never call my name
On the telephone
I just sit and cry
by the telephone

I try and call your phone,
But you're never home
I try and call your phone,
But you're never home
You watch me sit outside
You watch me wait and try

And much to my surprise,
I caught you on the number 9
You never called my name
On the telephone

You never call my name (you never call my name)
On the telephone (you never call my name)
You never call my name (you never call my name)
On the telephone (you never call my name)
You make me sick inside (you never call my name)
You make me wanna die (you never call my name)

The Sniper Lyrics – The Black Angels

It's quiet and loud
No one hears it but us
Some starving and proud,
No one chooses but us

You can hide up upstream,
We will trap and scalp you
Change the colour of your skin,
But sure as night we'll find you

Never meant to hurt no one,
Only meant to move myself
Yeah, I try and I try,
'til I'm red in the face

We decide what goes inside your head

You see yourself in me
How'd you do that? How'd you?
Beyond your towers wall,
He waits on the killing call
And he tries and he tries,
'til he's red in the face

We decide what goes inside your head

Melanie's Melody Lyrics – The Black Angels

I do like Melanie as much as I like you
She is sweet, like the kisses that I get from you
To me
A basket full of pretty things yeah
Between us

In my dreams everythings orange
In my dreams everythings orange

When she starts moving yeah
She's so natural
You better follow lead
In my dreams everythings orange

I do like melodies as much as I like you
They are tough, its like the kisses were never enough for me
To you
A pocket full of pretty evil things
Between us
In my dreams everythings foreign
In my dreams everythings foreign

When she starts moving yeah
She's so beautiful
You better follow lead
When she starts moving you better go with her

In my dreams I will follow her

I can't lie, I was only with her and then I found you
In my dreams everythings foreign
Between us
In my dreams everythings foreign

You On The Run Lyrics – The Black Angels

Now you on the run son,
Since 1981
You went and did some things,
And spoiled the fun
Yeah, you got the FBI,
They ain't on your side
Yeah you're caught foolin' friend,
With a senator's wife
Oh I don't need it,
Well no one does

Just sit on this groove and chew,
As the heat grew and grew;
A life of taking Love,
She fit like a glove
And in due time,
Yeah I'll be there

Well hello Harmony,
Whatcha doin' for free?
Yeah get on your knees you freak,
And please please me
A life of solitude,
Yeah, one with me, no you
Life on the run son,
It's all you knew
And I don't need it,
No, no one does

Doves Lyrics – The Black Angels

Like one little dove,
I think you're nervous,
Prove me wrong
Well, sometimes in your life,
You spend searching,
Looking for love

You look all day
Oh, you can't sleep one time

I found you in a puddle of water,
Open your eyes, we need you tonight
Well some, some think you're sleeping,
Prove them wrong, we need you to fly

You look all day
Oh you can't sleep on time

Like two little doves,
I'm in love
I thought you were mine
Well some, some think you're hollow,
Open your mind, we need you to fly

You look all day
Oh, you can't sleep on time

Science Killer Lyrics – The Black Angels

Feel it, in your house
You need it,
when you feel stress
Steal it, while you're out
You're kneeling,
when you feel blessed

Healing, in your chest
If you can't see it,
then it don't exist

Teach it, to your tribe
Spread it, Don't make no mess

Keep it in your head
Keep it in your heart

Mission District Lyrics – The Black Angels

You only love yourself
You only care for you
I think I hit the truth

Better days will come
Other scenes to get on
You watch your village cave in, kid

You only see one way
And I don't feel the same
You make it hurt honey

Easy figure of groove
Modern mistress of fire
For me to train, say my name

Who are you?
Who are you?

18 Years Lyrics – The Black Angels

She's got control of you,
and you love it
Controlling the pain of you,
with the palm of her hand
Yeah she's got control of you,
and you need it
She comes in red,
with a linen dress
Who knew

The door opens up,
and lets some light in
Someone calls,
and takes the blindfold off
You are home,
to see a woman standing
Someone holds to knock you out,
Who knew

A heavy beating,
the pounding of your heart
You start to sweat,
and you scream out
Something black answers back,
from the dungeon,
and you smile

The curtain surrounds you,
you begin to forget
The hammer cracks
the iron core of your mind

Deer-Ree-Shee Lyrics – The Black Angels

Rain, rain look up in sky,
All you see is yourself
Black cloud painted with trouble,
hanging over our nation, and you

All dry, are the crop around
We will be forced to steal
Like Grey Hawk perched up in tree,
waiting for the right kind of thrill (kill),
from you

I didn't know this was a game to you
I should have known by the silver
look in your eye

Bang, bang your magic is here,
white men and God are one
Make us feel like foreigners,
devils under our own sun

Wait, wait a few are blind,
let's trade secrets and get along fine
Which part of ours is entitled to us
You can't cross our imaginary lines

Trail of Fear and tears to come,
not a dry eye in our tribe
All worn down by the power of New,
Let's get together and drink until noon
Let's get together and dream
Let's get together and drink until noon

How could we stop this force
that grew on us
We should have drawn our own lines

Never / Ever Lyrics – The Black Angels

So, you’re lyin’ in the snow,
You lie right through you’re clothes
You never kiss and tell,
That’s never ever

The beast is calling you

Bland, a mix of old incense,
A fleet stripped of weapons,
A stuttering boy is saved
On Easter Sunday

It’s now or never

Well, I know we’ll meet again
I’d love to hear your voice
We don’t fill our songs with noise,
That’s never ever

Scar, you know that’s what you are
You say the Beatles stopped the war
They might have helped to find a cure,
But it’s still not over

“Don’t go chasin’ dreams
No don’t you chase your dreams
Your movements must be screened”
You can’t listen to these things

Vikings Lyrics – The Black Angels

Gonna do things my way
Gonna see you tomorrow,
On a German war plane
We gonna bomb you 'til Tuesday
Important vision
Incredible smile
"I and out"
On a Viking warship
We want you on our island,
If we can ever find it
Important wisdom
Unfortunate lie, again
In and out
We're gonna run through the desert
We got big boots to fill
We're gone just to seek cheap thrills
Imported wisdom
Incredible cry
Unfortunate lie

You In Color Lyrics – The Black Angels

Well I see, you see,
you in color
You're not my friend,
and you're not my brother
We agree to be enemies

The Queen called, and
she wants her land back
I suggest that you do just that
Black briefcase,
with a silver lining
Open it up, and
look inside see

Well I see, you see,
you in color
Now we're friends,
yes, we're blood brothers,
part Cherokee and
quarter Shawnee
You saw what happened
at Wounded Knee

The Return Lyrics – The Black Angels

Well it's 3 o'clock in the early morn'
You've got your bedface on
At the break of dawn
So you light another cig
And say your prayers
The thief has come
Equipped with his gun
Come on now

Well he came without warning
Like three thousand men swarming
Right out of the sky, like a torch in the night
Well the rocks were screaming
and said it was dreaming
I've been here before,
When I was killed in the war

There's a man who can decide
Between what's wrong and what's right
There's a son who won't fight for
What his father thinks is right
Like Judas of old, with a kiss
You'll be sold,
And those who deny,
Will drop like flies

Snake In The Grass Lyrics – The Black Angels

Someday, but not today
We will move away
to a place that's nice and safe
Someday, but not today

Someone, is your King
And you look up to them, yeah
divine in their way
And you say, yeah you say
you better believe her
She gave you plenty warning

Floating on a moat,
yeah, you diggin the moat,
and you say, yeah you say,
"Oh now, bring me joy
lead me with your army
You take our children,
with your bloodstained hands"
You better believe her

Alright, alright
you got my love,
and that's fine

All night, all night
I swear to the highest high,
I will keep it mine
A promise with a catch,
I'm sleeping with a smile
And you're safe, but just today
You better believe me

One night, when she goes blind,
find her where she sleeps,
wake her from her dreams
Shh, it's ok
She gave you plenty warning

"Passover" (2006)

Manipulation Lyrics – The Black Angels

Red and green was the color of her dress, manipulation
pale blue was the color of her eyes, manipulation
yellow yellow was her hair
orange sunburst red hot glare, manipulation, manipulation

And you can feel her madness
she will call you out
watch out for her dark side
cause you'll soon figure out
so run on
she's training you
and she's got you dancing

Red and green was the color of the ground, manipulation
pale blue was the color of the steel, manipulation
yellow yellow was her hair
icy gray was her glare, manipulation, manipulation

And you can feel her madness
see right through her smile
don't you turn your back and
you'll soon figure out
so run on
she's training you
and she's got you dancing

Red and green was the color of the money in her hand
pale blue were the color of the flowers on his casket
yellow yellow was her hair
icy gray was her glare, manipulation, manipulation

And you can see her sadness
she will call you out
watch out for her dark side
cause you'll soon figure out
so run on
she's training you
and she's got you dancing

Young Men Dead Lyrics – The Black Angels

Fire for the hills pick up your feet and lets go
Head for the hills pick up steel on your way
And when you find a piece of them in your sight
Fire at will don't you waste no time

Another thought of the unaware
Addiction in disguise
With a drop of blood
You will take them out for me

Fire from the hills pick up speed and lets go
Fire for real yeah shoot to kill with no aim
Head for the hills yes eyes on the camp fire glow
Creep up there like a white mink hiding in snow

And out of the black a figure forms
A soldier in the sky
With a drop of love
Trying to set you free

Run for the hills pick up your feet and lets go
We did our jobs pick up speed now lets move
The trees cant grow without the sun in their eyes
And we can't live if we're too afraid to die

Hold on tight yes hold on tight you're too slow

Fire at the breeze that blows these thoughts through our mind
Hire only thieves to steal the thoughts from our heads

The First Vietnamese War Lyrics – The Black Angels

You gave a gift to me
In my young age
You sent me overseas
And put the fear in me
And I ask what for now
Why me, why war?
And I ask what for now
Vietnam War?
Spent my time there by the shore

Oh we got off that boat
Charlies everywhere
A lotta killin' and dyin'
And no one seems to care
I ask what for now
We say hell no
And I ask what for
Why me, why war?
And I spent my time there by the shore

Sixty thousand men died
While you were here
You came into our homes
And you took our kids
And you ask for more now
For this new war
And you ask for more now
Vietnam War
I spent my time there by the shore

The Sniper At The Gates Of Heaven Lyrics – The Black Angels

Where do you go when heaven calls you
What do you do, who do you turn to
How old will you be when they finally catch you
Don't stop moving, they're right behind
When there's no one left on this earth you know
Who can save you kid, so just wake up wake up wake up

What is it like when hell surrounds you
How hot does it get, I think I've already felt it
Is there any way out, you better find one
Where do you go, down down the (no idea)
When there's no one here in this world of truth
Who knows first hand, so just wake up wake up wake up

The Prodigal Sun Lyrics – The Black Angels

You scare us, yeah, you welcome us,
and you motion us to move our mouths.
and we lie, yes we lie.

You know our thoughts, you put them there.
You free us, tell us where to fall,
so we hide, yes we hide.

When I breath again, I swear, it'll be with you.

You make us yeah, you cure us yes.
You kill the calf, as we second guess the first try,
the suns too cold, oh no.

The darkness falls, as nothing moves.
Your heartbeat slows, it gets too cold so you sleep,
yes we all sleep.
When i rise again,

I swear, it'll be with you.

Black Grease Lyrics – The Black Angels

You're a storm, you're so emotional
Moody and controlled, sly and involved
You're alright, you come to me in times
You make me realize I'm not the kindest guy

But I give, give, give, give
I give what I can give
So just give, give, give, give
Give me what you have, dear

Slow, you kept me in that storm
You showed me things galore
Made me want much more
And now denied, the things I saw inside
The things I saw inside is what really caught my eye

And you give, give, give, give
Just give what you can
And I'll live, live, live, live
Live while I can, dear

You're so surprised, you see me put up fights
You hear me realize, you come along for rides
You're just so kind, the eagle with red wine
You made me see that bright eye between me and time

To just kill, kill, kill, kill
You kill what you can
And you kill, kill, kill, kill
Anything you want

Empire Lyrics – The Black Angels

Oh, the empires calling,
Trying to hear his voice,
While he’s preaching to the choir,
And that choir is death and noise.

And he closes up his fist, and he sees if they exist.

Angels with broken wings,
Melodic harmonies she sings.
She brings you white daffodils,
You place them on your windowsill.

Then you open up your fist, and you see if they exist.

Well you sit in dark forests,
You’ve been there for quite a while.
And when they come to take you,
You just sit and smile.

You say, “Hey, you take this. I’m gonna see if you exist.”

Oh it’s time to leave here,
And I still have my knife,
And it’s pressed up against my body,
Tonights gonna be the night.

And I cut my own wrist, just to see if I exist.

Better Off Alone Lyrics – The Black Angels

I feel so low.

Try me out for the evening. Living in a lie.
Your figure is alarming, take me to that fire.
I'm better off alone.

Living with a lady, one who helps me to decide.
Take me to that room girl, get me through this night.
I'm better off with one.

Punish yourself on the weekend, you sneak into that bar.
Open up that box girl, all that whisky is gone.
I'm better off alone.

Bloodhounds On My Trail Lyrics – The Black Angels

Standing on the front porch, looking left and looking right.
The bloodhounds out to get me, I already feel the bite.
The rules of the road state, to hate those who hate.
Sleeping in wet coffins, frozen warnings melt away.

But you say no to me, just quit saying no to me.
Just stop saying no to me, 500 times a day see.

The billboards on the highway, are the prophets of today.
The roadkill speaks in poems through ads and through campaigns.
The warden has his rifle, and the sniper's like an owl.
I'm hiding in the tall grass with God and Vernon Howell.

But you say no to me, yes you say no to me.
Just quit saying no to me, 500 times a day see.

Call To Arms lyrics - the black angels

He drives a 90,000 dollar jaguar to work everyday
He put his wife and kids in the zoo, cuz he had nothing left to do
Nothing left to do.
Oh, Boo- hoo-hoo, Boo-hoo-hoo
He bought a ticket for heaven, but it expired in june
The gun went off, but it was never on
The trigger to the finger, the finger to the trigger
One eye took the aim, just behind the man's brain
But who is to blame? I just think he's plain jane
Plain, plain jane

When i awoke, my head was up off the ground
Nature spinning, oh but shes makin no sound
Blessed she tells us all that she knows
Yeah let the people live
Let the riches flow
I found, well i found you at the fault
And it didn't mean, nothin at all

You keep your money in stocks at the county garbage dump
You spend your days on tar, at the local gas pump
You came in on your own and you'll leave all alone
You came in on your own,and you'll leave all alone

As a start we off'd go down the path
Of feilds of gold, a vision that soon will pass
A great mistake, the diamond on his face
Black as night, where the coral snake will strike
But i found, well i found, you at the fall
And it didn't mean, nothin at all

[Hidden Track:]

Yesterday I got a letter from my friend fighting in iraq
And this is what he had to say:
'Tell all my friends that I'll be coming home soon
My time will be up some time in November
Don't forget', he said, 'to tell my sweet Linsey

And he's fighting in iraq
Hes fighting in iraq
Hes fighting in the iraq war
What for

Well, It was just the next day his mother got a telegram
It was addressed from iraq
Now mistress Brown, she lives in the US of A
And this is what she wrote to say:
'Don't be alarmed, mistress Brown', the telegram read
'But your son is dead, oh, your son is dead'

And hes fighting in iraq
Hes fighting in iraq
In the iraq war
Hes fighting in iraq
In the iraq war
War
Someone stop that war
Somebody please stop that war
Somebody stop that war
Somebody stop that war now
Please stop that war
