Brand New Day

Watchmen Brand New Day歌詞
1.Beach Music

One or two more times inside my head, and what's it stand for
Racing time, the temporary far away from your door
Once in a while, I find I run one more mile

Though I know you're not my idea
Feel I'm kind of stuck with you
What's behind the lines, the lines

Caught in the center, your hollow entertainer
And I wonder, whatever do I see in you?
Yeah, but I see it in you

Autumn breaks, your boyfriend wakes, leaves fast with your
daughter
I've seen you time and time again, pictures of them
And tell me about your royalty and (ice land)

You waltzed right in the center and just sat
You threw our lives upon our ears like that
I can't believe you died

Caught in the center, your hollow entertainer
And I wonder, whatever do I see in you?
Yeah, but I see it in you

(CD) turns, the candle burns, bed-ridden 'cause you have to
Sleeping all your days away, 'cause waking hours scare you
How about a smile be the last thing that I did to you?

Hands off the trigger, 'cause I'm a hollow entertainer
Also, I wonder whatever do I see in you?
And did you see it in me?


Comments : What an unbelievable song. No frills, no nothing,
just Dan alone at the piano and wonderful lyrics. This song is
such a curiosity because it is the only song on the album that
the lyrics are not written out for, and it is also the only song
on the album that lists lyric credits to the whole band rather
than to Dan or Joe. I have a hard time interpreting it, though
it really touches me. There is a book called Beach Music, and I
wonder if it has anything to do with the book. Any ideas
welcome.


2.Bicycle

Music:The Watchmen
Lyrics:Joey Serlin

I can't find my bicycle
How did I get home?
Hurts to hold my head to the phone

Where did all my money go?
Can you tell me, did I lose it?
Lose it all... don t you know?

Man I feel so used up
But if I slow down will it all catch up?

At least I see the sunrise
It eats up my mind
Just like her at my side
By the way what's going on tonight?

Think I've got to go to work
Jesus Christ I'm late
Man I've got to go

Thanks for all your help last night
Don't you worry everything will be alright

At least I see the sunrise
It eats up my mind
Just like her at my side
By the way whats going on tonight?

I could tell you about my life
but I'm not the kind to cry
and I could shed this ugly skin
but it hurts to much to try


3.Dance Some More

I bet you feel it's magic it's boredom setting in
fingers turn brown that's where I'll begin.
I'm in this sad position I know I'm in the wrong
when I'm all screwed around I can't count 7 friends that I got.

'cause when I'm out with the fellas drinking
up like a storm. When we're all out together
they all say on your feet dance some more.

I can't hold a candle to all that I pretend
running around and the thought of my life going end
over end. You probably feel it's righteous but I've died 100
times.

When we're undercovers we joke with one another
rules are only rules if we want them to be
we can be the fools if we want to be in our hearts.


4.Incarnate

In the air the tension lingers
Evident in pointing fingers
From the rad the steam it rises
In this tomb of no surprises
Never knowing what they mean
Not quite in tune with their schemes
Suspect me of an empty shell?
Man I guess it's just as well

Want to become you
Sweet perfection, enchanted youth
I'll lose the weight
of all my worries, I'll be the truth
I'll seek the source
Plant the seed and let it run it's course

Paranoia is just like ants
and conversation makes them dance
around our feet like hungry friends
So watch your step and just pretend
All that glitters is really gold
and we love all we are sold
and if there's any pain inside
Paint on a smile and let it slide

Through the whispers
Across the haze
Just like a mouse
Searching wild in a maze
I see you from across the room
I see you

Early morning light it grows
Casting down on pure white snow
Quietly we walk back home
Like Buffalo, our minds they roam

Want to become you
Sweet perfection, enchanted youth
I'll lose the weight
of all my worries, I'll be the truth
I'll seek the source
Plant the seed and let it run it's course


5.Kill the Day

Could you let me stay here today
Won't know I'm around
Won't make a sound
Just need a place to rest my brain
Where I'll feel sane
Okay

And I won't be in the way
If your fine to let me stay
'Cause I feel good today

I like all the stuff you've got around
The fact you can't hear a sound
It's great
Outside it looks so grey
That's okay, I don't mind grey

'Cause I feel good today

And if you want to kill the day
You can always hang with me
'Cause I feel good today

Think, I'm funny, think I'm strange
If you'd seen what I'd seen
You would be the same
Just let me lie here
Okay

If you want to kill the day
You can always hang with me


6.My Favorite One

I've always known her face to have a smile
I've always known her life to have a style.
When I reflect every once in a while
to what it would be like to know what she knows
see the world through her eyes stumbling strong and slow.

She wants to round up all the young ones
and let them know she's here.

Her bones are sick she knows she hasn't long
because they're gunning down her story and
her song.

'you're a silly boy but your mine, you're my
favorite one of the five.

And the voices of all lost and found
are the memories of all who came before and came
before and came before us all. We shall repeat.

Hear me G-d I'm tired my heart is sad
and from where the sun stands now I'll fight
no more forever.

And the voices of all are never lost forever
they're remembered by the faces and the places
floating high above us all.

apologies to chief Joseph


7.Shut Up

Her head sits in a state it rings approximately true
to one on mine but much more front and center
She's what becomes a legend most with memories
such as hers diarized inside a cage that there's
no escape only inches of clean air.

She's breathing the best that she knows how to breathe.

She's so in love with the great escape it's all around
her hopes and in her dreams of one day just
transporting. Where would all the young girls go
would they wander around like me. I wish I
knew of a better place, a gentler a kinder place to be.

She's living the best that she knows how to live.

Hear her sing...

It's 19 in the 40's sometime what be it of a girl who's in the
way of all the race they're ruining. She can almost hear
them now she closes up her eyes but just the same.
She hears their boots and knows that her days are short
and she'll die before she wakes.

Will they haul off and grab me if I break
for the outside will I fall out of love or
will I crumble straight down here. I
write and I fear it's real return me to my maker.

Perhaps it was the moondogs who brought those people out
and if that's so it's all they were good for. The show was
of the greatest ones of the ones out here out of the rain and
they didn't leave afterthoughts were nice
and my pipes were workable.


8.The Otherside

And I said no to all the men I've come across
through the years I've been living strong and today
I'm not afraid of love a different shade
so much the light would never hope to travel through

And I said no but all the things around my feet
point the other way and I'm afraid I could be wrong.

Put up walls round where you stay
Different heights for different days
In this town I'm trying to live the otherside is
simpler still.

And I said no but in my heart I've always been
a little in between the old-time straight-line family ways.
Not long ago I do recall the uphill battle to the day.
When they said go and in their faces I could see and all I
thought
of was suicide I'm nothing of a man.

Read the walls round where you stay. Different shapes
for different ways. In this town I'm trying to live
the otherside is safer still.

Salt waterfalls and I've got scars to show I've been crying all
the time.


9.Tumbleweed

House is silent
Can't hear a sound
only hearing my hair and hit the ground
They've all grown
or they just packed up and left
Left me with these years, unfortunate

Like on my T.V.
I will find the words to bring you back around
but this scene is full of twisted irony
considering my T.V. has no sound

I can't take this shit lying down, no I won't
kick all in my way to the ground
I'll fill this house again with the sounds
voices singing, laughter ringing, and you

Look in my yard
Dogs not there
Gone like all the rest of them without a care
Just a well
That everyone sucks dry
Dry up as the tumbleweeds are rolling by

I can finally speak
The kind of words that lift you from the ground
I can still smell your sweetness in the air
and I'm dying slow from you not being around

I can't take this shit lying down, no I won't
Kick all in my way to the ground
I'll fill this house again with the sounds
voices singing, laughter ringing, and you

It's bedtime, it's empty, who can I phone?
Can't sleep, just yet, here on my own


10.Waste Away

After all the cards your sending me
what's your way you got a couple
11 languages for all to see
can you run free with your friends like me.

feel so sorry for your kind
we're altogether mixed up in your mind.

Mr. X befriends the closest kind
stick my face in boiling water
what's in your annex boy
will it conquer us
can you run free from your demons
like me.


I feel so sorry


11.What You Did

Music and Lyrics:Joey Serlin

Can't seem to find myself some space
Everywhere I look just leads me to an altered state
Thought it was you, thought it was you
Now I'm drifting slowly as I fade

And when I find out what you did
You're going to wish you never laid your eyes on them
Because I hear the pounding sounds today
A thousand war drums beating out your name

Used to take some comfort in the song
Until the monsters in their suits came along
What does that mean? What does that mean?
It means I'm going to fucking scream

Then my friend he up and left
He said the music's dead and I've just got nothing left
And I need to hang with him today
Without a word he'll know just what to say

I'm not faking on the feeling
I'm just lying on the reason
When I laugh and stretch out
I'm not losing you, I m just losing myself

You will find me in the trees
I'm going to move so damn fast that I'll become the breeze
I'll just keep going, like a river flowing
I'll never stop, I'll reach the sea

Oh there it is another lie
I haven't got the strength to even say goodbye
and I need it so damn bad today
The fire in my veins won't go away


12.Zoom

Yah it runs through my body, I am wild
Body breaks through the water, I'm a new born child
Brains on fire

Put my ear down to the ground
Feel it tremble with the sound
Mother is speaking loudly now, she is saying
Lay your clothes down with your fear
Float upon my waters dear
I will carry you from here

Up among the lights she is smiling
I am small, I am safe, all is silent
Take my breath, make me wet

Going to sink my body down
Fell it tremble with the sound
Mother is speaking loudly now, she is saying
Strip yourself of all your fears
Free your mind and make it clear
I will carry you from here

Never coming up, never felt like this
Just going to stay here in this state of bliss
Never felt so whole or so damn complete
Done all that I should do, met all I should meet
Just going to stay right here

Someone is calling from the shore
On this earth not a voice I love more
Come inside

Going to sink my body down
Feel it tremble with the sound
Mother is speaking loudly now, she is saying
Strip yourself of all your fears
Free your mind and make it clear
I will carry you from here
