Lyrics:

I. introduction/the water





i am the water



i am the ocean king



i own the red sky



i am the one who makes...



dreams....



real





II. when it all goes to hell





there you are



it's soft and it's red



floating free



in your own private bed



then one day



you're pushed down the well



and you can feel your funny bone crack



when it all goes to hell



you come into



a world cold and bright



and after a while



it all seems alright



you dance and play



but it's too soon to tell



that you'll find yourself scathed and attacked



when it all goes to hell



when it all goes to hell



and you don't even try to get up



when it all goes to hell





III. a thief in the night





i was a general



of darkness and light



i was to be the major man



it was some kind of sight



i was going to stand alone



and do what was right



now i'm just another stepping stone



a thief in the night



so where were all of those



angels and priest



who said they'd carry me



beyond my beliefs



where are all of them now



they're gone from my sight



my mother and father deserted me



like thieves in the night



yes, where are all of them now



they're gone from my sight



my mother and father deserted me



like thieves in the night



i was the water



i was the ocean king



i ruled the red sky



i could do anything



'till you, you



you messed me up



you, you



you all messed me up





IV. FU/i'm sorry





you gave me this home and then you left me alone



FUCK YOU



you act real nice while you're exacting your price



FUCK YOU



everyone's got their opinions



they'll tell ya 'bout 'em all the time



what makes 'em think i wanna hear them



i wish that you'd all fucking die, die, DIE!



you don't give a shit about anything



FUCK YOU





i don't know why you even bother to live



FUCK YOU



everyone's so pathetic



always talking all the time



what makes them think that



i give half a shit what's on their minds, minds, MINDS!



FUCK YOU



(if the truth were told i really hate myself so)



FUCK YOU



FUCK YOU



FUCK YOU



FUCK YOU!





i'm so sorry



i really am so, so sorry



if i ever hurt you or caused you pain



i can't help it



i really, really just can't help it



when the madman's on the rise again



can you understand what it's like?



you all must understand what it's like



i can't help what happened to me



sometimes it just comes out now can't you see



please understand and don't



don't hate me



i'm so sorry



i really am so, so sorry



if i ever hurt you or caused you pain



if you don't understand it's all the same



i guess i'll just be left alone again......





V. the water (revisited)





i am the water



i am the ocean king



i own the red sky



i am the one who makes....



you.....



feel





VI. runnin' the race





mocks and spots



rip up your face



but all that counts



is that you get to first base



tension mounts



then it's put in it's place



and you're finally having some fun



when you're runnin' the race



chinatown



is off to your left



the motor pool



is there on the right



tension in dot matrix



right in your face



and you're finally having some fun



while you're runnin' the race



and you're finally having some fun



while you're runnin' the race



runnin' the race



runnin' the race







VII. reach for the sky





after we've gone



after the moon rises



and the red flags fly



gonna reach for the sky



gonna hold my head up high



gonna reach for the sky



storm ragin'



that'll be alright



if we reach for the sky



yeah we reach for the sky



guess there never was....



a winner



just a race against time



i was mean - i was kind



even though i was blind



i still reached for the sky



storm ragin'



that'll be alright



if we reach for the sky



yeah we reach for the sky



come people



reach for the sky..
