Lights out on division street
And all the hate that rises
Through the cracks in the pavement,
As the temperature falls.
(this is where is hits the ground)

Lights out on division street
I'm repeating
Goodbye to the memories,
(the fever that will not break)
The night is pouring down,
It's not enough to put this out,
I'll burn up before I wake up.
(on division street)
This is serious,
This is serious,
If this is serious
I'll hide my heart in dark parades.

Lights out on division street
I held you tight like an empty bottle...
But the glass broke
(and the poison spilled out of your mouth)
Hello? hello? is anybody there?
The house turned black and sat in silence
(while a mockingbird sang)
Listen to yourself
Go on and on, as if you spoke to someone else.

Lights out on division street
I'm repeating
Goodbye to the memories,
(the fever that will not break)
The night is pouring down,
Its not enough to put this out,
I'll burn up before I wake up.
(on division street)
This is serious,
This is serious,
If this is serious
I'll hide my heart in dark parades.

To dance between the scissors blades
Without getting cut.
I drew an x on your city's name
Lights out. black out. blow out the candle again.
Spin the room around
Fall down. pass out. get up. I can't keep repeating.

Between the footsteps I hear crickets in the trees
A silent army marching with me through a swarm of bees
A needle dragged across a record slowing down
Along division st. the lights were dying out
Endless rows of houses stretched on for miles and miles and miles...
Turn the windows black
Lights out on division street
Repeating (repeat it)
Lights out on division street
Repeating, (turn the windows black)
Lights out. lights out. lights out.
Turn the windows black
Listen to yourself.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals
He certainly did earn that reputation.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
