Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Did you come here to kill, or did you come here to die,
Or did you really think that spaceships would descend from the sky!
Bending light and beaming forth across space-time,
To see us scared in the reflection of their oily black eyes
To a stalk us like a predator
Like our movies imply
They're not the one's who've come to kill us
Come to fill us full of lead
They're not the one who hate us
And they are not the ones who mutilate our animals.
Or travel to the stars, they're not the one's who cause us harm!
(We are)
We are, we are, we are
We are still-life, and cold-blooded
(We feel nothing!)
We are still-life, and cold-blooded
(We feel nothing!)
Hellbent on heaven
Hellbent on heaven
Hellbent on heaven
Hellbent on heaven
While our righteous men are stuffing corpses full of shit and pain
We are, we are, we are still-life
We are, we are, we are still-life
We are, we are, we are still-life
They're not the ones who cause us harm
We are, we are
Did you come here to kill, did you come here to die'
We are still-life in cold-blood
We are still-life in cold-blood
And we feel, we feel
Nothing!
Stuffing corpses full of shit and pain
They bloviate about a future beyond the moon,
To bring about another planet's doom.
To discover peaceful life, and beat a war-drum to its tune
Unless my prayers are answered
Our end is coming soon!
Or did you really think that spaceships would descend from the sky!
Bending light and beaming forth across space-time,
To see us scared in the reflection of their oily black eyes
To a stalk us like a predator
Like our movies imply
They're not the one's who've come to kill us
Come to fill us full of lead
They're not the one who hate us
And they are not the ones who mutilate our animals.
Or travel to the stars, they're not the one's who cause us harm!
(We are)
We are, we are, we are
We are still-life, and cold-blooded
(We feel nothing!)
We are still-life, and cold-blooded
(We feel nothing!)
Hellbent on heaven
Hellbent on heaven
Hellbent on heaven
Hellbent on heaven
While our righteous men are stuffing corpses full of shit and pain
We are, we are, we are still-life
We are, we are, we are still-life
We are, we are, we are still-life
They're not the ones who cause us harm
We are, we are
Did you come here to kill, did you come here to die'
We are still-life in cold-blood
We are still-life in cold-blood
And we feel, we feel
Nothing!
Stuffing corpses full of shit and pain
They bloviate about a future beyond the moon,
To bring about another planet's doom.
To discover peaceful life, and beat a war-drum to its tune
Unless my prayers are answered
Our end is coming soon!

Corpse I Fell In Love With

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Techno Ted
Audioslave
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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Nah, it is still-life, although I'm pretty sure "to terrorize some other planet and bring about its doom" is worded a bit differently. I don't hear all of the words crammed in.
it is and b ring about another planets doom
