Climbing on a mountain Floating out on the sea Far from lights of a city
The elements they speak to me... Whispering that life
Existed long before greed... Balancing the world
On its knee...
Don't see some men as half empty See them half full of shit
Thinking that we're all but slaves There ain't gonna be
No middle anymore It's been said before The haves be having more Yet still bored
Won't someone save? Won't someone save The world?

Got all night Plenty of time Take these chains From my eyes So alive
Getting' it prime Take 'em there Before you die Why be satisfied We've got all night Please be here Top of the stairs No place for The president Build some fears Left outside Fuck, be content To just get by Why be satisfied We've got all night You scream and wail You see who cares Scream and wail See who cares
Life has nothin' to do with Killin' time
So why be satisfied We've got... all night We've got all night We've got all night

Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/Gossard
It's a hopeless... situation And I'm starting to believe That this hopeless... situation Is what I'm trying to achieve But I try
To run on Towards
All or none,... all or none Here's the selfless confession Leading me back to war
Can we help that,.. our destinations Are the ones we've been before I still try
To run on Towards all
Or none,... all or none To myself I... surrender To the one I'll never please But I still try,.. to run on I still try,.. to run on But it's
All or none,... all or none.

Composer: Gossard
Don't you think you oughtta rest?
Don't you think you oughtta lay you head down? Don't you think you want to sleep?
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down Tonight?
Don't you think you've done enough?
Oh, don't you think you've got enough? well maybe... You don't think there's time to stop
There's time enough for you to lay your head down, Tonight, tonight
Let it wash away All those yesterdays
What are you running from? Taking pills to get along Creating walls to call your own So no one catches you?
Drifting off and doing all the things... That we... all do
Let them wash away All those yesterdays All those yesterdays All those paper plates All those yesterdays
You've got time... you've got time to escape There's still time... it's no crime to escape It's no crime to escape... it's no crime to escape There's still time, so escape
It's no crime, crime..

Alone
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard/Ament/Abbruzzese
Mmm, Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone Ever before. Had a woman long as he can remember. His to forget
But he can't, he can't.
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower. She's standing naked, He's apologizing. Reaches for her and the water turns red. Got woken up to be Burned, burned again. Go it alone. You got it, so it goes.
Got his knees to his face, she can't take it any other way.
On the street he's walking wounded. Doesn't smile for the child at play. Thoughts of suicide and alleviation. Anything to get his heart off of Nicole. Go it alone. You got it so it goes.
Got his knees to his face...he can't take it for another day. Yeah, yeah. Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone
Ever before.
Had his woman long as he can remember. Tries to forget, but he can't... he can't....

Amongst The Waves
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Pearl Jam
What used to be a house of cards Has turned into a reservoir
Saved the tears that were waterfalling Let’s go swim tonight, darling
& Once outside the undertow Just you & me & nothing more If not for love I would be drowning I’ve seen it work both ways, but I am up Riding high amongst the waves
I can feel Like I
Have a soul that has been saved I can feel like I
Put away my early grave Gotta say it now
Better loud Than too late
Remember back the early days When you were young & thus amazed Suddenly the channel changed The first time you saw blood Cut to later, now you’re strong
You’ve bled yourself, the wounds are gone It’s rare then where is nothing wrong Survived & you’re amongst the fittest Love ain’t love until you give it up Riding hi amongst the waves I can feel like I
Have a soul that has been saved I can see the light
Coming through the clouds in rays Gotta say it now
Better loud than too late
Animal
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard/Ament/Abbruzzese
One, two, three, four, five against one Five, five, against one
Said one, two, three, four, five against one Five, five...five, five...five against one Torture from you to me
Abducted from the street I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal Why would you wanna hurt me? So frightened of your pain... I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal I'd rather be...
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with an animal I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...

Said one, two, three, four, five against one Five, five...five, five...five against one One, two, three, four, five against one Five, five...five, five...five against one
Army Reserve
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/D. Echols
How long must she stand Before the ground, it gives way To an endless fall
She can feel this War on her face Stars on her pillow Folding in darkness Begging for slumber I'm not blind I can see it coming Looks like lightning In my child's eye I'm not frantic I can feel it coming Violently shakes My body
Her son's slanted Always giving her The sideways eye
An empty chair where dad sits How loud can silence get? And mom, she reassures To contain him
But it's becoming a lie She tells herself And everyone else Father is risking
His life for our freedoms I'm not blind
I can see it coming Looks like lightning In my childs eye I'm not frantic I can feel it coming Darling you'll save me If you save yourself

Around The Bend
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
I am wishing you a well Mind at peace within your cell Covers up, I cast you off I'll be watching as you breathe I lie still, you move, I send You,... off around the bend I hold your head deep in my arms My fingertips they close your eyes Off you dream, my little child There's a sun around the bend There's a sun around the bend All the evenings close like this All these moments that I've missed Please forgive me, won't you, dear? Please forgive and let me share... With... you... around the bend You're an angel when you sleep How I want your soul to keep On and on around the bend

Bee Girl
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Ament/Vedder
Bee girl, you're gonna die.
You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy. Do your dances alone in your room.
Becoming a star will become your doom. Bee Girl, be a girl.
Bee Girl, be a girl.
You know time is long, and life is short. Begin to live while you still can.
Believe in nothing, believe me,
Those who can be trusted can change their mind.
When the anxious is the present, unwrap your gifts, take your time. Everything you imagine needn't be stuck in your mind.
Bee Girl, be a girl. Bee Girl, be a girl.
PEARL JAM SONGBOOKBetter Man
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over... Pretends to sleep, as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man... She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man... Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man Ohh...
Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know... She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong And waiting for the world to come along... Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man... She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man... She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man... She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man... Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way She needs him, yeah...that's why she'll be back again Can't find a better man (can't find a better man) Can't find a better man (can't find a better man) Can't find a better man (can't find a better man) Can't find a better...man...
Big Wave
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Ament/Vedder
I used to be a crustacean In an underwater nation and I surf in celebration Of a billion adaptations
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave. Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave. I feel the need
Planted in me Millions of years ago Can't you see The oceans size? Defining time And tide Arising
Arms laid upon me Being so kind To let me ride
I scream in affirmation Of connecting dislocations And exceeding limitations Be achieving levitation
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave. Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave. Got me a ride.
I got me a ride.

Black
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/Gossard
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything... I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be...yeah... Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKBu$hleaguer
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/Gossard
How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable. This is such a happening tailpipe of a party.
Like sugar, the guests are so refined, (look like melting m and ms) A confidence man, but why so beleaguered?
He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike Drilling for fear, makes the job simple
Born on third, thinks he got a triple Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way,...
I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed
A think tank of aloof multiplication A nicotine wish and a Columbus decanter Retrenchment and hoggishness
The aristocrat choir sings 'What's the ruckus?' The haves have not a clue The immenseness of suffering And the odd negotiation, a rarity With onionskin plausibility of life,... And a keyboard reaffirmation
Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way,...
I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed
Bugs
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Pearl Jam
(All these...) I got bugs
I got bugs in my room Bugs in my bed Bugs in my ears Their eggs in my head Bugs in my pockets Bugs in my shoes
Bugs in the way, I feel about you Bugs on my window
Trying to get in They don't go nowhere Waiting, waiting... Bugs on my ceiling Crowded the floor
Standing, sitting, kneeling... A few block the door And now the question's: Do I kill them?
Become their friend? Do I eat them? Raw or well done? Do I trick them?
I don't think they're that dumb Do I join them?
Looks like that's the one I got bugs on my skin Tickle my nausea I let it happen again They're always takin' over I see they surround me, I see... See them deciding my fate
Oh, that which was once...was once up to me... Now it's too late
I got bugs in my room...one on one That's when I had a chance
I'll just stop now I'll become naked
And with them...I'll become one

Can't Keep
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
I wanna shake I wanna wind out I wanna leave This mind and shout I've lived
All this life Like an ocean In disguise I don't live for Ever
You can't keep Me here I wanna race With the sundown I want a last breath I don't let out Forgive Every being The bad feelings It's just me I won't wait For answers You can't keep Me here I wanna rise And say goodnight Wanna take
A look on the other side I've lived
All those lives It's been wonder Full at night I will live for Ever
You can't keep Me here
Comatose
Artist: Pearl Jam
Consider me an object. Put me in a vacuum. Free of all conditions. Free of air and friction.
Yeh, I'll be hanging upside down. An there I will swing. For all eternity.
Feel it rising,... Yeh, next stop falling
Feel it rising,... Comatose, with no fear of falling Consider me an abcess. Leave me in my vacuum. Blood on all the pistons. Running my transmission Feel it rising,... Yeh, next stop falling
Feel it rising,... Comatose, with no fear of falling Feel it rising,... Yeh, next stop falling
Feel it rising
High above,... I'll break the law,... If it's illegal To be in love,... Leave the hatred,.. On the cross Yeh, I'll be hanging upside down. And there I will swing. For all eternity.
Feel it rising,... Yeh, next stop falling
Feel it rising,... Comatose, with no fear of falling Feel it rising,... Yeh, next stop falling
Feel it rising
Something never thought you'd be part of.

Come Back
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Eddie Vedder
If I keep holding out,... will the light shine through? Under this broken roof,... it's only rain that I feel I've been waiting out the days,... Come Back. I have been planning out,... All that I'd say to you Since you slipped away,... Know that I still remain true I've been wishing out the days,..
Please say, that if you hadn't of gone now I wouldn't have lost you another way From wherever you are,.... Come Back. And these days, they linger on
And I'm the night, as I'm waiting on
The real possibility I may meet you in my dream I go to sleep
If I don't fall apart,.... will the memories stay clear So you had to go,... and I had to remain here But the strangest thing to date
So far away
And yet you feel so close
And I'm not gonna question it any other way There must be an open door
For you to Come Back
And the days, they linger on
And every night, what I'm waiting for
Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream And sometimes you're there
And you're talking back to me
Come the morning I could swear you're next to me And it's okay.
It's okay. It's okay. I'll be here Come Back Come Back I'll be here Come Back
I'll be here Come Back Come Back

I would rather starve than eat your bread... I would rather run but I can't walk... Guess I'll lie alone just like before...
I'll take the varmint's path...oh, and I must refuse your test Push me and I will resist...this behavior's not unique I don't want to hear from those who know...
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes... I don't want to limp for them to walk... Never would have known of me before... I don't want to be held in your debt... I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed... I'm already cut up and half dead... I'll end up alone like I began...
Everything has chains...absolutely nothing's changed

Cropduster
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/Cameron
Light green to green, dark green, brown.. Every life is falling down
Brown to black, it's coming back Dies to be part of the ground Seed to seedling, root to stem
Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference,... Every life is looking in
Swallowing seeds on the deathbed,... Dig a hole in,... the garden.
Everyone is practicing,... But this world's an accident. I was the fool because I thought I thought the world
Turns out the world thought me It's all the other way round We're upside down
Dad, he's gone up flames,.. But this ain't no movie
This ain't no book you can close When the big lie hits your eye. Everybody's practicing,.... Our world's an accident
I was the fool because I thought Let the fluency set it down. There's an upside of down.
The moon is rolling round the world.

Dead Man Walking
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
Sailing on my every step. Inching off of the earth. Is magnified by the things I've done.
The thing that I've become.
Every lift of my hand. Coffee cup and back.
Is magnified by the things I've done. The things I've seen. The things I've caused. I'm a dead man walking.
The hammer that I once brung down now hovers over me. Cast a shadow... across, onto me.
The hallways are all mocking me.
What I've become they're all mocking me.
I'm a dead man walking. A dead man walking. A dead man walking. I'm a dead man walking. Dead man walking. Dead man walking.

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKDissident
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard/Ament/Abbruzzese
She nursed him there, over a night I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay What to say...what to say
But soon she was down, soon he was low At a quarter past...a holy no...
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold, oh...she folded... A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path A dissident, a dissident is here And to this day, she's glided on Always home but so far away Like a word misplaced Nothing said, what a waste
When she had contact...with the conflict... There was meaning, but she sold him to the state She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold...she folded... A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path A dissident, a dissident is here
She gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded... A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path A dissident, a dissident is here
Couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded... A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place A dissident is here

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKDown
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard
Down. Fall by the wayside... no getting out... Down. Cry me a river... dried up and dammed.
The names can be changed... but the place is still the same. I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down. Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away. And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done. Won't let the light escape from me.
Won't let the darkness swallow me. (So long)
PEARL JAM SONGBOOKDriftin'
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
Drifting, drifting, drifting away.
I got myself a mansion, then I gave it away.
It's not the world that's heavy, just the things that you save. And I'm drifting, drifting away.
Drifting, drifting, drifting uh-huh
I rid myself of worries, and the worries were gone. I only run when I want to and I sleep like a dog. I'm just drifting, drifting along.
The suitcoats say, 'There is money to be made.' They get so damn excited, nothing gets in their way My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved. It's good for drifting, drifting away.
The suitcoats say, 'There is money to be made.' They get so excited, nothing gets in their way My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved. It's good for drifting, drifting away.
Drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh.
I feel like going back there, but never for long. I sometimes wonder if they know that I'm gone. I'm just drifting, drifting along.
Drifting, drifting along. Drifting, drifting along. Merry Christmas...
PEARL JAM SONGBOOKEducation
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
I'm questioning my education Is my education who I am now? While you're deciding, I've been finding Looking around in the here and now. If I've been taught from the beginning Would my fears now by winning? I'm questioning my own equation Is my own equation relevant somehow? The flags are waving, the news is breaking See the man who can't pick out his own tie If I've been taught from the beginning Would my fears now be winning? A wild world, figuring out the answers I'll be in my own dance and I, I, yeah, I, I.... I'm questioning my education
Rewind and what does it show? Could be, the truth it becomes you I'm a seed, wondering why it grows
PEARL JAM SONGBOOKElderly Woman Behind The Counter In A
Small Town
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard/Ament/Abbruzzese
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former It's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away... Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... Hearts and thoughts they fade...away Hearts and thoughts they fade...away

Evacuation
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/Cameron
The sirens scream wanton attention Time to take heed and change direction Time to take stock and make omissions Evacuation.... Evacuation...
Time to take leave of formal functions Time to plant seeds of reconstruction No time, this time, to feign reluctance
It's like you're waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way Bets put aside, you're evil
Let's crawl into your face
A vision, vague or not, raising a frightful wake-you-up Time for... Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation...
Evacuation... Evacuation...
There was a solemn man who watched his twilight disappear (In the sand)
Altered by a fallen eagle, a warning sign.. (Sign)
He sensed worry could be strength, with a plan he said Time for...Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation...
Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation...

Faithful
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/McCready
Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around Or been stepped on
Whatever the notion, we laced in our prayers The man upstairs is used to all of this noise I'm through with screaming
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes like this We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it Were' faithful, we all believe, we all believe it So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it M.Y.T.H. is
Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear We never listen
Voice inside so drowned out
Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing And everything is you
Me you, you me, it's all related What's a boy to do?
Just be darling and I will be too Faithful to you

Fatal
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Gossard
How good is he? How warm are his eyes? You'll see it's not a reprise
Did he arrive too late and too tethered away To put on his suit and his tie?
How good is he? How warm is his heart or ego, telling him which place to park? Did he relate? The message is clearly, hardly grounds for dismissal
Outright... grounds for dismissal outright... I wake up and wait up
When anger's in fashion I wake up and wait up
It echoes through the mansions I wake up and wait up
When April's in May, oh, uh-oh I wake up and wait up
The answers are fatal The answers are fatal I wake up and wait up The answers are fatal
If he's truly out of sight, is he truly out of mind? If he's truly out of sight...

Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/Gossard
Don't even think about reaching me. I won't be home. Don't even think about stopping by. Don't think of me at all. I did what I had to do. If there was a reason, it was you.
Aaah, don't even think about getting inside. Voices in my head. Ooh, voices. I got scratches all over my arms. One for each day since I fell apart.
Ooh, I did, oh, what I had to do. If there was a reason it was you. Footsteps in the hall... It was you, you.
Ooh, pictures on my chest... It was you. It was you...
Ooh, I did a what I had to do. Oh, and if there was a reason... Oh, there wasn't no reason. no. And if there's something you'd like to do. Oh, just let me continue to blame you.
Footsteps in the hall... It was you, you.
Ooh, pictures on my chest... It was you, you. Oh

Force of Nature
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Pearl Jam
Understand she’s a force of nature Contraband hiding deep inside her soul Exorcising her will to lose control She lets go
A common man, he don’t stand a chance, no Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole
No way to save someone who won't take the rope And just let’s go
One man stands the edge of the ocean A beacon on dry land
Eyes upon the horizon In the dark before the dawn
Hurricane has the trade winds blowing A gale force shaking windows in the storm Shipwreck on the rock that he calls home With one light on
Somewhere there’s a siren singing A song only he hears
All the strength that you might think Would disappear,.. Resolving One man stands alone, Awaiting For her to come home
Eyes upon the horizon
In dark before the darkness meets the dawn. Makes me ache,... Makes me shake,...
Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe? Last I saw, he was out there waiting
A silhouette in the black light, full moon glow In the sand there he stands upon the shore Forevermore
Somewhere there’s a siren singing A song only he hears
All the strength that you might think Would disappear, resolving
One man stands along, Awaiting For her to come home
Eyes are closed,.. You cannot know But his heart don’t seem to roam.
Garden
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/Gossard/Ament
The direction of the eye So misleading
The defection of the soul Nauseously quick I don't question Our existence I just question Our modern needs
I will walk...with my hands bound I will walk...with my face blood I will walk...with my shadow flag Into your garden
Garden of stone After all is done We're still alone I won't be taken
Yet I'll go...with my hands bound I will walk...with my face blood I will walk...with my shadow flag Into your garden
Garden of stone I don't show... I don't share... I don't need
What you have to give...
Ooooh, I will walk...with my hands bound I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag Into your garden
Garden, oohhh
I will walk...with my hands bound I will walk...into your garden-Garden of stone
I don't know... I don't care... I don't need You, for me to live

Get Right
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Cameron
I want for to lay down, I'm waiting 'till sundown
I'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine, Wait for the moment
The moment between us, the fire is made now, Harder to touch
I wanted to get right I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right with you Bakers dozen parades, Stand and debate
Out single file, nine in a row, swear if you must Keeping your boots on, float with the now, Hot to the touch
Concrete underground, cast out everyday, The dregs of society
Underbelly, beside me, rejoice and follow thee I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right I wanted to get right With it, with you

Working for something,.. that one can never hold A place in the clouds.
Your place to hide oh my oh I'm flying away, away I'm driving away, away
Seeking new ways, before I miss it all The TV, she talks to me
Breaking news and building walls Selling us, what I dont need I never knew soap made you taller So I'm riding away, away
Hiding away, away
So much talk it makes no sense at all My senses gone

Given To Fly
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/McCready
He could've tuned in, tuned in But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree The wind rose up, set him down on his knee A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw Delivered him wings, 'Hey, look at me now' Arms wide open with the sea as his floor Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying...whole
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away The love he receives is the love that is saved And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky A human being that was given to fly
High.. flying Oh, oh High.. flying Oh, oh He's flying Oh, oh Yield

It's in the cards on destiny Your sanity in tow
Designate my luck Ah resignate...
This power has no roots to guide, no role... Trust in rusted minds refused to go
Unwillingness, it's meaningless to walk away in vain Designate my will
Ah designate my fill Resignate
My will is crashing, synapses flashing slow Ah days like frame by frame, where do they go? Yeah why fight? forget it
Cannot spend it after I go Roll 'em high...
Throw them again... All gods' dice...
Monkey driven, call this living, hahaha Ah too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole Minding yours, what's mine not yours
Will finish us off Ah-designate my life Ah designate my view
Ah resignate my will, my will, my will, I will Resignate my god

Do you wanna hear something sick? We are but victims of desire
I'm gonna shake this thing
I wanna shake this pain before I retire
I’m gonna see my friend,.. I'm gonna see my friend Make it go away
I’m sick of everything,.. gonna see my friend Make it go away
Buona Sera, won’t be long before we All walk off the wire
I’m gonna see my friend,.. I'm gonna see my friend for what I require
Buona sera, cut my quick
Don’t’ want my flame to get no higher.
I'm gonna see my friend,.. I'm gonna see my friend,.. Make it go away I'm sick of everything,.. I'm gonna see my friend,.. Make it go away I'm gonna see my friend,.. I'm gonna see my friend,.. Make it go away Wanna leave it all
Wanna give it up
Wanna see it, gone once & for all Wanna feel withdrawal
Want an overhaul
Wanna be there, hard as a statue Black as a tattoo, never to wash away Gonna take me an astral plane I'm gonna tunnel through denial I’m gonna shake this thing
I wanna shake this pain 'for I retire
I'm gonna see my friend,.. I'm gonna see my friend,.. Make it go away I'm sick of everything,.. I'm gonna see my friend,.. Make it go away I'm gonna see my friend,.. I'm gonna see my friend,.. Make it go away
Gone
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Eddie Vedder
No more upset mornings No more tired evenings This American dream I am disbelieving
When the gas in my tank Feels like money in the bank Gonna blow it all this time Take me one last ride For the lights of this city
They only look good when I'm speeding Gonna leave em all behind me
Cause this time I'm gone Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all So long
Cause this time I'm gone In the far off distance As my tail-lights fade No one thinks to witness But they will someday Feel like a question is forming and the answers far
I will be what i could be Once I get out of this town For the lights of this city They have lost all feeling Gonna leave em all behind me Cause this time
I'm gone Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all So long
Long gone, I'm letting go of it all Cause this time I'm gone If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all If nothing is everything
I am gone

Green Disease
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
It's a disease,... and they're all green It emanates from their being
A satiation,.. with occupation And like weeds,.. with big leaves Stealing light from what's beneath Where they have more,...
Still they take more
Course I know,.. then I don't There's a stowaway with my throat It's deceiving...
I don't believe him
We can scream,.. out our doors Behind the wall a fat man snores In his dreams he's,...
Choking Ti leaves Well I guess
There's nothing wrong with what you say But don't sell me,
'There can't be better ways' Tell the captain
'This boats not safe And we're drowning.' Turns out
He's the one making waves I said
There's nothing wrong with what you say Believe me
Just asking you to sway No white
Or black Just grey
Can you feel this...
World with your heart and not your brain? G-R-E-E-D... G-R-E-E-D
Grievance
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
Have a drink they're buying Bottom of, bottle of denial
Big guy,... big eye,... watching me... Have to wonder what it sees... (Sin...)
Progress... laced with... ramifications... Freedom's big plunge
Pull the innocent from a crowd Raise the sticks then bring em down If they fail to obey... oh if they fail to obey,
For every tool they lend us... a loss of independence I pledge my grievance to the flag
Cause you don't give blood... to take it back again Oh we're all deserving something more
Progress,... taste it,... invest-it-all Champagne breakfast for everyone Break the innocent when they're proud... Raise the stakes,... then bring em down... If they fail to obey... oh if they fail to obey Pledge your grievance to the flag
Cause you don't give blood... then take it back again Oh we're all deserving something more.
I want to breathe Follow the scene I want to taste Everyone I see
I want to run when I'm up high I want to run into the sea I only want life.... to be... I just want to be...
I will feel alive... as long as I am free...
Binaural
Habit
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
Seen it happen to a couple of friends... See it happen and the message it sends... Taking off for what's an obvious fall... Just to see what all the fuss is about...
It's not your way...Not your way... It's not your way Another habit says it's in love with you...
Another habit says its love's overdue... Another habit like an unwanted friend... I'm so happy with my righteous self...
It's not your way...Not your way... It's not your way Never thought you'd habit...
Speaking as an individual who will see the year 2000 Never thought you'd habit...
Never me...never you...never me.

Hail Hail
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard/Ament
Is there room for both of us? Both of us apart?
Are we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got?
I get the words, and then I get to thinkin' I don't wanna think, I wanna feel
How do I feel? How do I?...
If you're the only one, will I never be enough? Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love Swore I'd love you till the day I die, ah and beyond... Are we going to the same place? If so, can I come? It's egg rolling thick and heavy
All the past you carry
Oh, I could be new... you underestimate me If you're the only one, will I never be enough? Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love
Sometimes realize, I could only be as good as you'll let me Are you woman enough to be my man?
Bandaged hand in hand
I find it on the run in a race that can't be won All hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah If you're my only one, so could you only one? I want to be your one, enough...
Your one...your one...your one...

Hard To Imagine
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/Gossard
Paint a picture visions only grey
Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames. I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long. It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine. Ohh [x4]
Tear into yourself count days on your arm. Ah the beating ticking like a bomb. After having seen all that they saw. It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine. Ohh [x4]
Things were different then. All is different now. I tried to explain. Somehow.
Things were different then. All is different now. I tried to explain. Somehow.
Ohh [x4]
Things were different then. All is different now. I tried to explain. I hope this works somehow. Things were different then. All is different now. I tried to explain. Oh, somehow.
Ohh [x4]
PEARL JAM SONGBOOKHelp Help
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Ament
Tell me what I wanna hear This shits too good to be true My dear
Tell me lies
Tell me lies, tell me Tell me lies, tell me Help me
Storybook keeps from hurting me You see
Shell of the man from the sea Tell me lies
Tell me lies, tell me Tell me lies, tell me Tell me why
Tell me why, tell me Tell me why, tell me Tell me lies,... Help me Reservoir Of hate and fear Invisible In repair A hundred thieves Cast a spell This is hell Help me
The man they call my enemy, I've seen his eyes He looks just like me, a mirror
The more you read, we've been deceived Everyday it becomes clearer,...
Clearer.
Not my enemy,.. no, not my enemy,.. Don't speak for me. No, not my enemy.

Hitchhiker
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
You fool, dude what do what you think you're doing? So you're lost, my problem, that's not
Conductor says, 'off of my train'
We understood, guest/host relationships ain't my thing
Even if I could, you ain't the kind of person I would help anyway I'm about to explode
Cuz I can't carry your load Hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker
You're cool, and cold in your calculations We're friends, only because of my situation I'm about to unload
Cuz I can't carry your load Hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker Hitchhiker...
So be gone, too soon is too late I don't want no delay
So be gone, get your food off someone else's plate Go tell all your friends
I'm an idiot and you're great Hitchhiker... hitchhiker...
Now go, hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker
PEARL JAM SONGBOOKI Am Mine
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder
The selfish, they're all standing in line Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind
The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine I am mine
And the feeling, it gets left behind All the innocence lost at one time Significant, behind the eyes There's no need to hide... We're safe tonight
The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying The full moon is looking for friends at high tide The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied I only know my mind
I am mine
And the meaning, it gets left behind All the innocents lost at one time Significant, behind the eyes There's no need to hide... We're safe tonight
And the feelings that get left behind All the innocents broken with lies Significance, between the lines (We may need to hide)
And the meanings that get left behind All the innocents lost at one time We're all different behind the eyes There's no need to hide
