1. Intro
2. Pay Dirt (live in San Diego 2001)
Pay Dirt
That's when I hit pay dirt
Sink or swim
I'm jumpin' in
Huddled masses cling together
But the herd gets thin
Self assured
With those fighting words
Your so-called figure of speech
Won't be hard
I'll never lose my shirt
Someday I'll hit pay pirt
I'd rather die of thirst
Fast-moving fast-ducking fast
Running fast from the blast
I'm here to carry my weigth
Murder will out the ingrates
No tampering with the soul
I'm sidestepping your phony idols
That's when I'll hit pay dirt
3. Warzone (live in Los Angeles 1991)
When I dream I see movies in my head
I always have the starring role
But the scenery is never quite clear
Cause the film is growing old
But I just roll them dice
And I pray for snake eyes
Lonely warzone
That I defend
Lonely warzone
My only friend
Insanity is the word I plead
Cause the trenches are all filled up
With the bodies of men who used to laugh with me
They just got shot like sitting ducks
But I just roll them dice
And I pray for snake eyes
Lonely warzone
That I defend
Lonely warzone
My only friend
It's a bloody fighting
How I feel it
It's a bloody fighting
Won't you yield it
But I just roll them dice
I keep on rollin
Lonely warzone
That I defend
Lonely warzone
My only friend
Lonely warzone
That I defend
Lonely warzone
My only friend
4. Commercial Break # 1
5. The Truth Always Hurts (live in Los Angeles 1991)
Yes you should have seen her face
Straight out of Peyton Place
Pseudo movie star
Total disgrace
Beggin' on her hands and knees
Won't you just love me please
I've got my life to lead
Lead yours as well
Beautiful home
White picket fence
Fairytale
The pain starts When the Quaalude ends
Learn to pacify
Then you justify
Never satisfied
The truth always hurts
Well I woke up in heavy sweat
The sheets stretched I was soaking wet
A light bulb in my sleep
Went off in my head
Two places at one time
Can't be done by mankind
I hate to say I'm feeling confined
From the top of the world to a sunken ship
No in between
Karma sure can be a frazzled trip
Learn to testify
Can't be rectified
Ain't no lullaby
The truth always hurts
Learn to pacify
Learn to qualify A
lways mortified
The truth always hurts
Bet your ass
One day you're king of the world
Indestructible T
hen you're knocked off your pedestal
Just been crucified
Harmed and horrified
Ain't no alibi
The truth always hurts
Time to occupy
Simply no deny
Better say goodbye
The truth always hurts
Learn to pacify
They you justify
Never satisfied
The truth always hurts
The story goes on and on and on
Somebody else will be a victim
The ends is here
It's a fact of life
The truth always hurts
6. After Me, The Flood (live in Bochum 2000)
After Me, The Flood
Help me write these words down
I'll write a great song to die to
Cause my days are numbered
And it's certain that I'm gonna drag you
I don't plan on going alone
I need a friend like a typhoid mary
We'll walk with a goose step
With vigor and might that's scary
There I go (down)
And I'm lovin' it
Dig way deep in
Bid farewell to a world I can't live in
I scratched the surface
And found pride was paper thin
I tried evil
I wish it had more of and impact
Cause faith ain't helping
To rid the apes on my back
After me come the flood
7. Red Onion
8. Take A Turn (live in Anaheim 1991)
Hear her words
Whispers on the shore
Blinded by a haze, in a daze
I pick myself off the ground,
Hey
I know the words I speak, could enter
Your mind when you sleep
Then the act is done,
I just wait for the outcome
Take a turn with me,
Can you feel the force
Wo-oh, Wo-oh
Setting the course
On and on the
Days go by,
Still I hear
No reply
Then I start
To wonder if
My aim was a lie
Then she comes to me
Unspoken
Without a word, without a sign
Just let your passion flow,
And let me know
What's on your mind
Take a turn with me,
Can you feel the force
Wo-oh, Wo-oh
Setting the course
I didn't mean to make you uptight
Just had to make sure it felt right
Save your words, take a turn with me
Save your words, take a turn with me
With all my thirst, I didn't even get my money's worth
Turn from me
9. Symbol Of Salvation (live in Bochum 2000)
Go ahead
Explain
Tell me what you plan to be
The future
Go ahead
Explain
Tell me what you plan to see
The future
I've been waiting here for you all
What took you so long
Symbol of salvation
Who's the symbol of Salvation
What's the symbol of Salvation
Is honesty truly another word
For justice
Honesty is truly another slur
On justice
I've been waiting here for you all
What took you so long
Symbol of salvation
Who's the symbol of Salvation
What's the symbol of Salvation
Hear the knave
With information
With a knave
Is wrong direction
No it's not the
Symbol of salvation
Follow my lead
I'll show you the way
For the future
Follow my lead
We'll digest world decay
For the future
I've been waiting here for you all
What took you so long
Symbol of salvation
Who's the symbol of Salvation
What's the symbol of Salvation
10. Red Onion Revisited
11. Tainted Past (live in Los Angeles 1991)
The cynical view that has been taken
Is blowing my mind
I can't seem to piece it all together
I guess it takes time to unwind
To let the dust settle
And let cooler heads prevail
Each and every day I rise
From the ashes I've left behind
To start anew push through
They say it's not meant to be
Well I'm parting the sea
Got to let go
Move on from a tainted past
I'll never know
Fall out from a tainted past
The selfish greedy world we live in
Is making me mad
It's always give me every marble
Then kiss my ass
Each and every day I rise
From the ashes I've left behind
To start anew push through
If you go for the green Y
ou'll soon see what I mean
Got to let go
Move on from a tainted past
I'll never know
Fall out from a tainted past
Tainted past
Why should anyone finish last
Tainted past
You needn't be a saint
All you need is lots of cash
Why did it end this way
I'll never understand
Why my world is grey
When you combine heartache
With misery
Sets up a challenge
For destiny
Each and every day I rise
From the ashes I've left behind
To start anew push through T
hey say it's not meant to be
Well I'm parting the sea
Got to let go
Move on from a tainted past
I'll never know F
all out from a tainted past
12. Commercial Break # 2
13. Creepy Feelings (live in Bochum 2000)
Imagine every morbid thought
You've had throughout your life
Becoming real in the eyes
Every sucker with a weak mind
You're invited to a place
A sinister fearful haven
Where a human sacrifice
Is some stupid ass religion
What the hell is wrong with the world
Views are so distorted
No regard for human life
No law and order
Darkness - sure can be a rude awakening
No guest - has ever escaped the torturing
Creepy feelings - coming over you
Creepy feelings - lock 'em away in a room
This is all created from
Their wild imagination
The difference between truth and false
Depends on your fascination
Creepy feelings - coming over you
Protest - fools who will lead you into it
14. Another Day (live in Los Angeles 1991)
Fading moments
Fill up my eyes so wide
I don't know why things are Strange
But there's a will
And my way
Is Roaming light
Roaming light
Roaming light
Please let me buy
Another day
Please let me try
To find another day
I'm riding a wave
That's moving too slow
And it seems there is a void in my Life, yeah Life
But there's a will
And my way
Is Roaming light
Roaming light
Roaming light
Please let me buy
Another day
Please let me try
To find another day
Please let me buy
Another day
Please let me try
To find another day
I feel the need Down deep inside
To get out of here
And disappear
Please let me buy
Another day
Please let me try
To find another day
Please let me buy
Another day
Please let me try
To find another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
I've got to find a way
Won't you lead today
Got to find Another day
15. For The Sake Of Heaviness (live in Anaheim 1991)
16. Tension (live in Los Angeles 2001)
Tension
Brass hat, CEO
Only appears for a cameo
The camp is so clean
And it keeps raining green
The scent is strong
But yet something's wrong
Everything is too much right
Tension, need tension
God forsaken
Godawful place
The falling house of cards
That I love to embrace
I'm saving face
Four star everything's comped
We steer the peddlers clear
Lessons in decorum given out
First class, top notch, no fear
Announcing every heroic feat
Large praise and make it quick
Good as it is it's never great
This health is making me sick
Wrapped up the report is done
The addle brained just can't get enough
The scent is strong but yet something is wrong
Everything just ain't right
This house of cards is erasing my face
17. New Song
18. Tribal Dance (live in San Diego 2001)
Colombian cartel
Coca paste potent smell
Boats off for San Pedro
Good work men! Bring my dough
Tribal dance
Tribal dance
It's a full moon yeyo de coca
Son of a milacka
Give me money then we'll do the tribal dance
Distribute USA
Demand is high today
Coffee beans were our trade
But the market Prefers cocaine
Tribal dance
Tribal dance I
t's a full moon yeyo de coca
Son of a milacka
Give me money then we'll do the tribal dance
Waiting for you
Come dance with me
That's the motto of the biggest party
Major supply
Families cry
When you gonna wake up open your eyes
The imported good is making America die
Rich Colombian man
Builds a zoo on his land
As long as we crave more
He'll dance
And win the drug war
Tribal dance
Tribal dance
It's a full moon yeyo de coca
Son of a milacka
Give me money then we'll do the tribal dance
19. Outro
20. Reign Of Fire (video clip)
Fantasize exploding hands
Archaic science
Master plan
Hear the war cry
Watch the crow fly
When your body's set
It never fails
Then you hear the tale of tales
Bound and gagged
You're in a reign of fire
Spells and magic
In the reign of fire
Complacency with all
A strong need to bathe in gall
Hear the war cry
Watch the crow fly
When your body's set
It never fails
Then you hear the tale of tales
Bound and gagged
You're in the reign of fire
Spells and magic
In the reign of fire
Feel the hexes
In the reign of fire
Find what sex is
In the reign of fire
I sold my soul
To give to you
I sold my soul L
et me pull you through
Never fails
It never fails
Feel the hexes
In the reign of fire
Find what sex is
In the reign of fire
21. Last Train Home (video clip)
When lonely winds blow cold
And my world moves down below
It's a sign to make a change
Among the platform crowd
Words clear as clouds
Say you can't remain the same
And familiar voices cry
my name
I'm on the last train home
On the last train home
Crossroads of my life
Feel my body glide
To a place I need to be
It's within my sights
I know it'll feel so right
When I get there I'll be free
Still those voices call
my name
But I'm on the last train home
On the last train home
On the last train home
Ride with the freight line
Ride with the freight line
There I go
Gotta make time
I gotta make time
I'm aboard
Boxcar wonder
Every scar shows
Where the future lies
Lord only knows
I'm on the last
Last train home
On the last train home
I'm on the last train home
On the last train home
I'm on the last train home
On the last train home
Last train home Yeah,
last train home
It's within my sights
I know it'll feel so right
When I get there I'll be free
