Lyrics:
Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running
And I'm so far from my home
Oh, Mama, I can hear you a crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long (yeah)
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Nevermore to go astray
This will be the end today of the wanted man
Oh, Mama, I've been years on the lam
And had a high price on my head
Lawman said, "Get him dead or alive"
Now it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear Mama, I can hear you a crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Nevermore to go astray
The judge will have revenge today
On the wanted man
Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Nevermore to go astray
This will be the end today of the wanted man
The wanted man

Fear nobody but His Majesty
My spirit, you retrieved
For you I wait silently
It seems that you believe in me
Fear nobody but His Majesty
My spirit, you retrieved
For you I wait silently
It seems that you believe in me
Indestructible digging through the rubble
Bubblin' we don't need no more trouble
That bahella-scope vision, hot-hot fiction
Like I'm running a muck upon a rhythm
Stay on the plan so you don't lose the vision
Stay sizzling Peter pan I'm from a land hip like this
From the city feeling it
Ya breathing in, ya put on your glasses and ya see through it
Fear nobody but His Majesty (fear no one)
My spirit, you retrieved
For you I wait silently (his majesty)
It seems that you believe in me
Fear nobody but His Majesty (fear no one)
My spirit, you retrieved
For you I wait silently (his majesty)
It seems that you believe in me
Some of them run-run-running like rats on a wheel
'Trife will find her new deal
Who is their ticket for a meal?

Am I an afternoon's pastime
A thing on a string
To be thrown and retrieved
Like a phone call received
On somebody's birthday
To tease and delight
And then say goodnight
And then just say goodbye?
Sebastian
And he turned his head and let the arrows fly
Through the trees, the trees
The ornamental leaves
Boy cried wolf
Wolf don't come
Wolf within
Boy cried wolf
In the ancient mold they're dancing down
Calling to the moon but it don't answer
And they fell on their knees
and passed the bowl around
And the blood the blood the sacramental blood
Boy cried wolf
Wolf don't come
Wolf within
Boy cried wolf
I am the body I am the stream
I am the wake of everything
They bring me flowers that are myself
Garlands of blood that are myself
Slain the lamb that is himself
Torn reborn the cries of our dismay
Are nothing to the wind but whose to mind
Kings are lifted up and kings are thrown
Lost received retrieved
The human tide
Innocence had its day
Innocence had its day
Innocence innocence
A child devoured on the western wind
As others were, I must have been
Others saw a hovering ring
A dream retrieved from a common spring
The very same source taken
My sorrow, at once awakened
Awakened
Awakened
Awakened
We walk apart on the sand and stone
Yet all I've loved, I've loved alone
Silver craft, a stormy dawn
The wretched raft of life is drawn
For every ounce of wasted will
More mystery binds me still
Binds me
Binds me
Binds me still
From the vault inside the mountain
All the coins from every fountain
And from the sun that 'round us rolled
Cars and streets, everything gold
Lightning dashed, tossed and torn
I, at last, took demon form
All I've loved
I've loved alone
All I've loved
I've loved alone
All I've loved
I've loved alone
All I've loved
I've loved alone
They tell me you can only dream when you fell asleep
But now I'm working to achieve and sleep's the only thing that I never see
And I vowed that my breathing will never cease
'Til they retrieved and I can't let them be
I won't let 'em leave and I've had the same feeling since seventeen
But I wasn't ready then like when the lemon's green
Now I'm in the magazines almost every week
'Cause I'm getting heat like in Tenerife
Right now it's better than it's never been
Never fade like a plant that's evergreen
That's what I hoped in my heart, but my self doubt's are getting me
Faith in my craft's getting dark by the day and I'm getting weak
'Cause I'm new, I'm not where the stars be
They chase dreams together like a slumber party
And now I'm on my own, even though I'm smooth sailing
I'm scared to sing 'cause my nightmare'll fade in
When the darkness creeps in
I feel my nightmares watching me
And when my dreams are sleeping
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa, whoa)
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa-oh, whoa, whoa)
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa, whoa-oh, whoa)
Watching me (whoa)
You better wake up 'cause I A-M making moves (uh)
And even when I'm dozing I'm breaking rules (no rules)
I'm only hitting the sack when I'm training
Too busy trying to keep up with the latest snooze
Made my bed and that's where I'm heading
I fly straight with the best man I embed 'em
Married to the game was a quiet wedding
then I had to fight to get her, now I'm taking (go)
control of my inception
'Cause they're try to hit my misses with my erection
See they better Maradona 'cause when I strike back
Not even Argentina's gonna cry for them
see I'm awake at night with the ammunit'
'cause the haters know where the family lives (come on)
Anyone I catch playing Knock Down Ginger's
gonna lose a lot more, than Annie did
They say sleep is the cousin of death
But I ain't hearing that shh, cousin, I'm-
Gang signs I'm in LA reading
I'm a CEO, mother suckers I'm next (Sway)
When the darkness creeps in
I feel my nightmares watching me
And when my dreams are sleeping
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa, whoa)
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa-oh, whoa, whoa)
I feel my nightmares watching me (whoa, whoa-oh, whoa)
Watching me (whoa)
they're watching me, they watch me sleep
Let me go, ch'yeah, uh
I fell asleep on myself, woke up in reality
And daydream about losing my sanity
I've been rhyming forever got a blind flow
So I can see an off note with my eyes closed
But to achieve your dreams
you can't doze off cah your dream asleep
I ain't nodding off but I'm nodding to the beat
I be shocking in my sheets, when I should have been asleep
See, cah the dreams I'm fond of
You placed me in the team insomnia
Now, I Mr.
If things had been different
If only you'd give one more twist of the key
If things would be different
A change in the numbers
If only that message could just be retrieved
If things would be different
If life could be permanent
You'd be a goddess carved on a frieze
If things could be different
You would be sharing your whole life with me
I saw it all, I saw it from afar
I saw it all, I saw it in the stars
I saw it all, I saw it much too late
Coincidence and fate
If things had been different
If only your finger had not pushed delete
I would not be walking down
Down this lonely street
'Cause if things had been different
If only my whole life could be just re-dreamed
'Cause I was born way too soon
Born on the other side of the seas
And if things had been different
We'd spend the fourth of July on the beach
And if things had been different
All of your children would look just like me
I saw it all, I saw it from afar
I saw it all, I saw it from the stars
I saw it all, I saw it much too late
I saw it all, the fingerprints of fate
I can't believe they knew it we blew it,
Our fortunes have been retrieved
By humans who knew me they
Used me to get what's mine.
They'll never replace me.
I'll be back.
Satan
Nazarene in the valley of persuasion
To receive last temptations from Lord Satan
"Take a bite" said the serpent "eat of it"
Without no choice to do so, you cannot resist
Impaled crucifixion
Compassion forgot
Eternal damnation
Once upon a cross
Blasphemy laughs at thee
Jesus you've been deceived
Struggling on the cross
Gagging to breathe
Despite your god, question why
You were retrieved by the angel of light
Kill him, kill him, kill him... Satan
Nazarene screaming on his crucifixion
Prophecy in its final contradiction
When you die is when the lie will be believed
Upon the cross, before the world to see
Once upon the cross
Macrocosmic energy
threatening all human beings
"In this power we believe
Hope this hope will be retrieved"
Robotronic Starspaceships
threatening all human beings
"In this power we believe it's Kirby Krackle, (waahh!)"
No words
No noise
Just you and the clouds
Become one with your energy
And one with the sound
You'll be just fine babe
Just Step from the crowd
Lift up your head now
And put on your crown

Let your mind wonder

Find yourself going under,pick yourself up push the hatred under
Let your mind wonder

Find yourself going under, pick yourself up push the hatred under
Heighten your mind
Heighten your soul
Heighten your thoughts
Cuz they are made of gold
I dont know what you been told
You are a gift, the world is yours to hold
Step into power, make your own road
Shape up your mold and watch your story unfold
Go higher and higher and higher yea

Healing, watch your healing
Feeling, that peaceful feeling
Higher higher higher go higher
Go Higher and higher
Come to me my dear
For I have the way to clear those weary tears
Did you know that the soul, it can be shattered
By the weight of the world to a realm thereafter
Only to be retrieved by Divine masters
Until then you will remain broken
Or you can heal
Heal
I will travel far across dimensions
To rid your soul of this affliction
Pay a pretty penny for ascension
For I can do this for you
Heal
Heal
Now to defy the border
Separating space and time
Seen by no mere mortal
It's all within the world that's hidden behind the lids of my eyes
Come to the water, my disheveled daughter
And here you will find what was lost
To make you new, I retrieved it for you
To make you new, I retrieved it for you
To make you new, I retrieved it for you
To make you whole again
Now you can heal
Heal
Dispensing distrust
With a slithering sleight of tongue
Propagating illusions
Illusions of some form of normality
Memories will rust
With a fragile sense of the past
A remembrance
What was, may never be retrieved
This may be all we see
Oblivious to reality
A utopia of what was, may never be retrieved
The utopia that they seek, may have never been
Behind the scenes of what may forever be
A utopian sentimentality
The fading echoes of yesterday
Driving an unnerving reaction
The machination of outrage
Until final dissipation
The unreliable narration
Reciting the recollection
Reconstructing past realities
That may never be retrieved
And in your search for normality
It may have never been
Your reality
May have never been
Illusions of normality
Then through the window he thought he saw
In the falling snow so near
The outline of his son's mother's face
But then it disappeared
It was only there for a second
And a second's not long, but yet
It was enough to cause that man
To take that very first step
And that step was followed by another
In that room still lit so dim
And before he realized how far he had gone
His son was directly in front of him
Then the father noticed on the windowsill
An old photo that he long ago had seen
It was a picture of him and his wife
When they were both about nineteen
It was leaning against a folder
That said Property of the Deceased
And underneath was his wife's name
And the date it had been released
It was obviously her personal possessions
That had been given to his son
Because since he had left them all behind
The child was the only one
His son must have always kept it with him
For the folder was weathered and torn
And he must have gazed at that picture countless times
For it was also all tattered and worn
Then his son noticed him standing there
And from his task looked up
And then looked at the picture beside him
And that one look, was enough
He recognized it was his father
That was now standing there
And gave him a smile of pure love and forgiveness
And of the past, he did not care
He did not care where he had been
The whys, the wheres, the hows
He only cared that his father was there
Standing by him now
Then the father turned and walked across the room
Which by now had lost its distance
And went to the nearest incubator
And picked up a trembling infant
And with the child within his arms
He returned to his son
And all the pain within his soul
At that moment was undone
And he sat in the rocking chair beside him
With the life he had retrieved
And side-by-side together
They rocked all through that Christmas Eve
Then through the window he thought he saw
In the falling snow so near
The outline of his son's mother's face
But then it disappeared
It was only there for a second
And a second's not long, but yet
It was enough to cause that man
To take that very first step
And that step was followed by another

And all the pain within his soul
At that moment was undone
And he sat in the rocking chair beside him
With the life he had retrieved
And side-by-side together
They rocked all through that christmas eve
Its just a cyclical thought
Oh my mind oh my mind oh my mind in my mind it unfurls
Its just flesh and blood
Though I count all the grains like the days I've left to hold
It flows its lost and it can't be retrieved
It flows its lost and it can't be retrieved
It's bigger than us
Unswayable truth
Persistence of chaos
Forced upon you
So roll the dice
Roll the dice
Roll the dice
Let it decide
So roll the dice
Roll the dice
Roll the dice
Let it decide
I wanna spin wild
But the centrifugal force keeps me aligned
Analytical dreams
Codes in arbitrary numbers I cant foresee
It flows its lost and it can't be retrieved
It flows its lost and it can't be retrieved
It's bigger than us
Unswayable truth
Persistence of chaos
Forced upon you
So roll the dice
Roll the dice
Roll the dice
Let it decide
So roll the dice
Roll the dice
Roll the dice
Let it decide
Over the treetops where we retrieved what we thought had almost been lost. Over the treetops. You cannot press pause in life a fact we nearly forgot.
Tell me all the things you want
I shall prove myself among the wise
I have failed you
Grant my wish I beg of thee
For I have done all the deeds you have asked of me
That whimpering wretched whore who birthed your adversary
I retrieved her head and mutilated every last remain
The blood of the innocent I have spread with no fucking remorse
How dare you interfere my monumental wake
Forever keep these words from my mouth
I will become the father of lies..
Oh Mamma I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh Mamma I can hear you a-crying you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up the noose is out they finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the end today of the wanted man
Oh Mama I've been years on the lamb and had a high price on my head
Law man said 'Get him dead or alive' and it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear Mama I can hear you cryin' you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up the noose is out they finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
'Cause the judge'll have revenge today on the wanted man
Wanted man yeah
Oh Mama I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up the noose is out they finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty

This'll be the end today of the wanted man
The jig is up the noose is out they finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the end today of the wanted man
Wanted man yeah
Oh Mamma I can hear you a-crying you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very long
You're here for me
Even when, I'm not there for You
You've chosen me
Even though sometimes I chose differently
You're near to me
Even when I'm too far out of reach
Im falling in deep
Nothing you can't see
I was reaching shallow waters
Then you retrieved me
Im holding on to you now
Im diving in
I see your face so clearly
I hope again
Im swept away by your amazing grace
Im looking forward to the better place
Im falling in deep
Nothing you can't see
I was reaching shallow waters
Then you retrieved me
I swam the sea
You brought the shore back to my feet
I fell beneath
The waves they crashed right on over me
Im abandoning
The ship I thought would take me to relief
Im falling in deep
Nothing you can't see
I was reaching shallow waters
Then you retrieved me
Im holding on to you now
Im diving in
I see your face so clearly
I hope again
Im swept away by your amazing grace
Im looking forward to the better place
Im falling in deep
Nothing you can't see
I was reaching shallow waters
Then you retrieved me
Getting closer then Im pulled back again
Im drawing near to you now
There's nothing you can't stand
I keep on getting closer then Im pulled back again
Im drawing near to you now
There's nothing you can't stand
Im falling in deep
Nothing you can't see
I was reaching shallow waters
Then you retrieved me
Im holding on to you now
Im diving in
I see your face so clearly
I hope again
Im swept away by your amazing grace
Im looking forward to the better place
With the error that's in my mind
And in my soul
I'm driving blind
I got a picture in the box
That is bringing me to where I am
Yet the eyes are all affixed on you not me
For driving blind
And the first time will be the last time
That you believe
You're falling as you decide
Face down the whole world wide
Before cannot be retrieved
From all the way up here there's no end
I'm flying high
But the worst is never first
And there's a person that'll set you straight
Cancelling the force within my brain
For flying high
The simulator has been disengaged
Indifference begins to take sides
Face down the whole world wide
Before cannot be retrieved
From all the way up here there's no end
I'm flying high
But the worst is never first
And there's a person that'll set you straight
