Lyrics
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
Mr. High and Mighty standing with your back against the wall
They better jump when you say jump, they better crawl when you say crawl
Buildings crumble and peasants cower at the sound of your name
But was it God that gave you that power or is it merely fame
Mr. High and Mighty who are your sights set on now with your fair-weather fortune and your gold sacred cow
You reunite with your long lost brothers on an old abandoned ship
There was a time when you brought joy to others
Guess you got caught up in the trip
Mr High and Mighty remember when you were low
On the sunny streets of Georgia but that was a long time ago
Mr. High and Mighty will you ever join us again
Will we dance and sing together, will we all join hands
Can't you hear the voices calling or is it just time for another show
Once again the great have fallen
Did you really have that far to go
Brand New Angel (6:53)
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
Brand new angel, did you just fall down from the sky
Come to your sweet daddy, wipe the tears from your eyes
This must be your lucky day, I hope you like surprises
Save my weary soul, take me from this hole
Lead me to the light or just take me through the night
Brand new angel, never turn your back on me
Look deep into my eyes and tell me what you see
People say you should stay away but I disagree
Save my weary soul, take me from this hole
Lead me to the light or just take me through the night
Brand new angel, don't be so easy to deceive
Things are different down here
You gotta let your body breathe
Save my weary soul, take me from this hole
Lead me to the light or just take me through the night
back to top
So Weak, So Strong (5:08)
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
So weak so strong, nothing's forever in her universe
Bringing comfort, bringing pain, so weak so strong
So weak so strong, turning mountains into seas of dust
Finding courage when all hope is lost, so weak so strong
Men have died from half the pain she endures everyday
Many times I've seen her spirit fade away only to rise again
So weak so strong, there's only one of her in the universe
Bringing darkness, bringing light, so weak so strong
Men have died from half the pain she endures everyday
Many times I've seen her spirit fade away only to rise again
So weak so strong, she's never really what she seems to be
But life without her seems so bleak, so weak so strong
Streamline Woman (4:06)
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
Saw you in the starlight
Gave my heart a stir
Naked in the moonlight
Made me shimmer for sure
Ooh, streamline woman
Your head's in the city
But your soul flies through the clouds
Looking so doggone pretty
Made me laugh out loud
Ooh, streamline woman
Ooh, streamline woman
Let me be good to you
Streamline woman
Let me be good to you
Eyes wide open
Suitcase in your hand
Passport in your pocket
Do you need a place to land
Ooh, streamline woman
Ooh, streamline woman
Let me be good to you
Child of The Earth (5:45)
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
As I stand here searching for the right words
I know that wisdom comes from despair
And I realize it's harder to find your own voice
Than to follow one already in the air
And as our time draws nearer
I wonder just when we stopped being young
And I know my greatest deeds will go unnoticed
And our treasures were here all along
Child of the earth hear my confession
Please don't tell me that it's overdue
And from the four corners of the universe
I will make my way to you
A gentle touch known only to each other
And a breath that comforts like the rain
And a taste no other shall ever know
That upon my tongue shall remain
Child of the earth heal me with your whisper
Hold me close to your breast
Dress my wounds with your innocence
I am weary let me rest
Let your rain wash over me
You know all I ever hoped to be
Is half of what you are to me
So take me from this island
Lead me to the mountains of the moon
As long as you lead I will follow
And the end of time will be too soon
Child of the earth hear my confession
Please don't tell me that it's overdue
And from the four corners of the universe
I will make my way to you
Child of the earth heal me with your whisper
Come and hold me close to your breast
Dress my wounds with your innocence
I am weary let me rest
I am weary
I am weary
I will make my way to you
I will make my way to you
I will make my way to you
Like Flies (4:37)
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
We're at a place in history where the bar is at an all time low
We've applauded mediocrity till there is no lower we can go
Art has no place in this world of supersize
Follow the leader to the latest pile of shit
Like flies
And those who peddle it sold their own souls long ago
They would not know the difference between Vin Diesel and Van Gogh
They stare at me with envy with their big green bugging eyes
Spreading filth, buzzing all around my head
Like flies
Like flies
Feast or famine, peace or war - life will get you in the end
Sex, drugs, powerlines and vaccinations - something's going to do you in
There ain't no way of stopping death when it's time for your demise
All my heroes and friends are dropping
Like flies
Like flies
Unring The Bell (8:05)
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
Where is your freedom
Is it buried in the earth
Tell me is it growing
Or is it losing it's worth
And where were all your people when they burned your building down
Too busy fighting their own war in their own town
Unring the bell, it's time, it's time
Take back what we had, it's yours and mine
Shadows of evil cast like giants on the wall
Do you even know how many people you appall
And where are all those people on whose backs you climbed
Too busy saving their own skin and their own kind
Unring the bell, it's time, it's time
Take back what we had, it's yours and mine
New Jim Crow, different shades of brown
Blood spills red on ancient hallowed ground
Flying machines send missiles to the moon
While Babylon is burning in the pale afternoon
Unring the bell, it's time, it's time
Take back what we had, it's yours and mine
Fake liberty is just another form of hate
Unring the bell before it's too late
Nothing Again (6:55)
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
We all tried to warn you-but you already knew
So you blame it on jealousy-you say the rumors are untrue
But you feel yourself slipping away
You awoke from a dream-things were different than now
You were gonna be a superstar-Elvis was teaching you how
You met a man in a suit-he said "Sign on the line
But you'll need a little something to help you unwind"
You got to ride like Hell-your face into the wind
One day you're everything-then you're nothing again
We all know that the journey means more than where you wind up
But they don't know what it's like to drink from your cup
Still they got something to say
You met a girl on the highway-she made you feel like a man
But somewhere along the way-your poor heart just caved in
So you smoke a little that and you drink a little this
And soon you can't separate the misery from the bliss
(CHORUS)
Anyone can be blinded-caught up in the lust
But we all must go back-back to our own dust
Back to yesterday
One cold night in the sixties-in a small town serene
A young boy sits and stares at a black and white screen
He's caught up in the rhythm,the words,and the sound
And it feels just like a ticket out of this town
(CHORUS x2)
Million Miles From Yesterday (3:43)
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
Born on the edge of a lonely town-searching for something no one had
Smart enough to say good-bye to this lonely town
But not smart enough to never look back
Night falls early on these lonely streets-and time rolls by like a midnight train
Innocence in abundance on these lonely streets-but I feel guilty just the same
Now the words that I have written are ringing in my head
Oh,and I think I believe them
A million miles from yesterday and a million more to go
Still I search each day
Trying to find my way home
Dreams die young in a lonely heart-and the past seems to follow close behind
There's an age old remedy for a lonely heart
But there's no peace in this soul of mine
Now the words that I have written are ringing in my head
Oh,and I think I believe them
A million miles from yesterday and a million more to go
Still I search each day
Trying to find my way home
Still trying to find my way home
Brighter Days (6:33)
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
If I live till I die, will I be justly rewarded
If I sleep till I wake, will I remember the dream
If I lie to myself, will I have something to believe in
If I face my fears, will I know what they mean
Long for brighter days far behind me
Before my life was just a haze
When love was still inside me
If I find myself, tell me will I lose me to others
If I hang my head, will I feel the spirit of my mother
If I bury my face, will I uncover the truth
If I slow my pace, will the past gain on me
Long for brighter days far behind me
Before my life was just a haze
When love was still inside me
Long for brighter days far behind me
Before my life was just a haze
When love was still inside me
Endless Parade (8:58)
(Haynes)
Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)
A primadonna with a premonition feels like he's preachin' to the choir
A superstar filled with superstition can't pull himself out of the mire
All you ever dreamed of is finally in your reach but careful what you wish for
If you don't practice what you preach
The circus came to town, I guess it must have stayed
It's like an endless parade
All these people you can see through like ghosts, maybe you've seen too much
Nothing's real, nothing you can feel, no one you can touch
Strangers stare in silence, they think they know your mind
No place to jump off, that's the way the game's designed
Another new day dawns, another sunset fades
It's like an endless parade
Music, music and more music imploding inside your brain
The life that you have chosen did it finally drive you insane
Psychophantic tirades fill your head with ammunition
Sights set on your enemies but you keep losing your position
Reluctantly you face the day try to get your gameface on
What used to be a fantasy has now become a marathon
Every heart you ever broke, all the people you've betrayed
Another new day dawns
Another sunset fades
Yeh, the circus came to town, I guess it must have stayed
It's like an endless parade
