    1. Lyrics

      Mr. High & Mighty (5:33)
      (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


      3-String George (5:39)
      (Haynes)
      Buzzard Rock Music (BMI)

      (Instrumental)
