Evacuation

Pearl Jam

The sirens scream wanton attention
Time to take heed and change directions
Time to take stock and make omissions

Evacuation
Evacuation

Time to take leave all 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
Evacuation

There was a solemn man who watched his twilight disappear in the sand
Altered by a fallen eagle, a warning sign
He sensed worry could be strength, with a plan said time for

Evacuation
Evacuation
Evacuation
Evacuation

Evacuation, evacuation
Evacuation, evacuation
Evacuation, evacuation
Evacuation, evacuation
Evacuation, evacuation
Evacuation, evacuation

    i agree that sad and fatal should have been on binarual and are maybe the two best pearl jam songs (what the hell were they thinking leaving it off) but evacuation is still a good song.

    I burned the perfect binaural album the way it should be, replace "breakerfall" with "sad" put "hitchhiker" after evacuation (optional) and replace "sleight of hand" with fatal. I strongly reccomend it

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
