Get Up lyrics - Chris Cornell

You've got a FADED sky
You've got no breathing room
You got a wasted life
You got nothing to do

Get up, get OFF the floor
I said get up
Do something more
You need a backbone, to roll with the world
You gotta get you one to RUN WITH THE BULLS

(You ready,)
(You ready,)
(Get ready,)

You got pint of blood, you got a losing HAND
You put a house of cards, on a HILL OF SAND

Get up,
get OFF the floor
I said get up,
Do something more,
You need a backbone, to roll with the world
You gotta get you one to RUN WITH THE BULLS

(You ready,)
(You ready,)
(GET ready,)

You got a fatal flaw
Skeleton made of straw
Images on the wall
Keeping you in the dark

You're in a pack of wolves
Trying to live alone
If you're gonna BE A MOLE
CRAWL BACK INSIDE YOUR HOLE

Ground Zero lyrics - Chris Cornell

The speaker on?
Yeah, you like that?

When it all falls down
And the law don't count
And it don't seem fair
And the people don't care

Where in the world you gonna go?
Who in the world you gonna hold?
When all the world keeps holding on at ground zero
We'll leave it all with God

When it all falls down
And we almost drown
When the sin sinks in ?
I guess it's every man for himself

Where in the world you gonna go?
Who in the world you gonna hold?
When all the world keeps holding on at ground zero
We'll leave it all with God ?

When the war it rages over the ages
You can't erase it once you spill the
Blood on the concrete river of deceit
Will you be around?

When it all falls down
And the law don't count
And it don't seem fair
And the people don't care

Where in the world you gonna go?
Who in the world you gonna hold
When all of the world keeps holding on at ground zero?
We'll leave it all with

Never Far Away lyrics - Chris Cornell

You are the road that I will travel
You are the words I write
You are the ocean I will swallow
You are the wind I ride

You are the cause to keep my head up high
I will survive
You gotta know I'll stay beside you
Right till the day I die

I don't want to change anymore
I've already paid
(Said, I've already paid)
I don't have to pray anymore
Because my soul has been saved

And now
Whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away
Never far away

You're the blood that's in my veins
You're my second skin, skin
I'm a feather on the wind
You will bring me in

Every heart should have a beat
Every night a dream
Every king should have a queen
Every saint a sin

I don't want to change anymore
(I don't want to change)
I've already paid
(Said, I've already paid)
I don't have to pray anymore
Because my soul has been saved
(Been saved)

Whenever I come, whenever I go
No, you're never far away, far away
Never far away

When I go hot you make sure I don't break
Gimme life inside of heaven's gates, I know
(Heaven, heaven)
You taught me how to live like [unverified]
Gave me definition for the worst I know
That there ain't no space between you and me

Whenever I come, whenever I go
No you're never far away, far away
Never far away

Take Me Alive lyrics - Chris Cornell

I tried and tried to walk away
To be the bigger man and leave
You made it hard for me, for me
Its been a long lonly road
I didnt know which way to go
You made my blood run cold
And filled me up with sorrow

Theres no where for me to go
I'm a long way away from home
I wont go without a fight
You'll never take me alive

You'll never take me alive oh no you wont
Ever take me alive oh no you wont
Take me alive oh no you wont
Ever take me alive oh no you wont

I tried and tried to shed your skin
But you've controlled me from within
Your love has been a sin
I wont forget tomorrow

Theres no where for me to go
I'm a long way away from home
I wont go without a fight
You'll never take me alive

In the fire inside the circle
Lonly treats today

You'll never take me alive oh no you wont
(in the fire inside the circle)
Ever take me alive oh no you wont
(lonly treats today)
Take me alive oh no you wont
(in the fire inside the circle)
Ever take me alive oh no you wont
(lonly treats today)

In the fire inside

Long Gone lyrics - Chris Cornell

Baby, I used to watch your flowers grow
Now it's raining and all your petals turns to stone
I've been praying, I turn around and see my rose
But you faded, you left, me now it's time to go

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
It may be to late our time is done

Baby, I think you've got your timing wrong
Hating, exploring this while we're riding on
And it's crazy to think that I could be reborn
If you saved me now it's too late and you'll never know

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
It may be to late our time is done

With broken wings
(with broken wings)
I can't fly
(I can't fly)
I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine

With broken wings
(with broken wings)
I can't fly
(I can't fly)
I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
It may be to late our time is done

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

Scream lyrics - Chris Cornell (feat. Timbaland)

I take a minute to tell you right
And you can say what you want
And turn around every night
Somehow you're always going off

Doesn't matter what I done
Or if I even crossed the line
You start to holler, going for blood
Girl, it doesn't have to be a fight

Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault
Messing with my brain when you wanna see me fall
There may come a time when I don't bother you at all
It isn't my call, it isn't my call

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

There's no need to scream, baby
I'm standing right in front of your face
Why? I know sometimes we don't get along
So Chris sing the second verse to her, like this

Take a minute to tell you now
And I don't have to raise my tone
Take the level and bring it down
I just want you to know

I got no trouble with what you said
I don't even think you're wrong
It's how you say it, you lose your head
Girl, I'm standing right in front of you

Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault
Messing with my brain when you wanna see me fall
There may come a time when I don't bother you at all
It isn't my call, it isn't my call

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden

Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden

Enemy lyrics - Chris Cornell

Everytime the blood runs to my head I hear the ring
Something to remind me I'm not dead or caught in between
I listen to the voice and what it says its never sweet
Somethin I was born into I guess livin' in me

No prize nothinng I pay will make it all rised
Nothin' I see will make it lose sight
Nothin' I take will make me sleep at night ,sleep at night
When I look at them and I feel I guess I got to be runnin runnin runnin runinn
I will never sake this feelin till I feel nothin nothin nothin

I'm the enemy enemy enemy inside of me enemy enemy enemy
I'm the enemy enemy enemy inside of me enemy enemy enemy

Everytime I take another breath I feel
Everyone around is seem so numb I feel everything

No prize nothinng I pay will make it all rised
Nothin' I see will make it lose sight
Nothin' I take will make me sleep at night ,sleep at night
When I look at them and I feel I guess I got to be runnin' runnin' runnin'
I will never sake this feelin till I feel nothin nothin nothin

I'm the enemy enemy enemy inside of me enemy enemy enemy
I'm the enemy enemy enemy inside of me enemy enemy enemy

Taking my time to untagle the wires and staring to my sanity
Plopping the hammer and pulling the trigger I know now the bullet is me

I'm the enemy inside of me,
I'm the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me enemy, enemy, enemy
I'm the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me enemy, enemy, enemy

Other Side Of Town lyrics - Chris Cornell

We met at party 'bout almost two years ago
But there was a part of me that she just didn't know
I tried to hide it from her but it didn't take long
Before she would've found me and see where I go

I wanted to tell her but I just didn't know how
And every time I'd spoke, the words just wouldn't come out
Everyone will tell you that old habits die hard
And it's just the same for me

She wouldn't compromise
She'd wanna stand her ground
She wouldn't talk to me
She wouldn't make the sound

She wanna say goodbye
I wanna reconcile
What type of shit is she on?

I should've left that side of town alone
I should've left that side of the town alone
I should've left that side of town alone
A long time ago

I should've left that side of town alone
I should've left that side of the town alone
I should've left that side of town alone
A long time ago

Guilty, it's getting to me but she wasn't home
Keep trying to call but she won't pick up her phone
My conscience is speaking to me but I'm in the wrong
She don't wanna talk to me, she'd rather go, go

Tried to apologize for the lies that I told
She don't wanna hear it n' told me to leave her alone
I didn't appreciate her until she was gone
And now it's too late for that

She wouldn't compromise
She'd wanna stand her ground
She wouldn't talk to me
She wouldn't make the sound

She wanna say goodbye
I wanna reconcile
What type of shit is she on?

I should've left that side of town alone
I should've left that side of the town alone
I should've left that side of town alone
A long time ago

I should've left that side of town alone
I should've left that side of the town alone
I should've left that side of town alone
A long time ago

She won't even talk to me, no
She won't even talk to me, no
She won't even talk to me, no
She won't, she won't

She won't even talk to me, no
(She wouldn't compromise)
(She'd wanna stand her ground)
She won't even talk to me, no
(She wouldn't talk to me)
(She wouldn't make the sound)

She won't even talk to me, no
(She wanna say goodbye)
(I wanna reconcile)
She won't, she won't
(What type of shit is she on?)

I should've left that side of town alone
I should've left that side of the town alone
I should've left that side of town alone
A long time ago

I should've left that side of town alone
I should've left that side of the town alone
I should've left that side of town alone
A long time ago

Climbing Up The Walls lyrics - Chris Cornell

I keep seeing your face when my eyes are closed
I'm remembering how it used to go
All the medicated, nearly comatose
A bullet out of your head, is it on that road?

So much in your mind when you kill more than time
You're sinking so low, thinking you will be high
Biting your lip while you're losing your mind
Alone God knows

You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're just climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls

Now you're reaching that age where you should know
How to figure it out out all on your own
On the far side of town is a room you love
Started tearing it down to get you to follow

So much in your mind when you kill more than time
You're sinking so low, thinking you will be high
Biting your lip while you're losing your mind
Alone God knows

You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're just climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls

You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're just climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls

The world won't rise and ease your crying
If you do nothing, if you do nothing
The world won't try to change your mind
If you don't change at all

The world won't rise and ease your crying
If you do nothing, if you do nothing
The world won't try to change your mind
If you don't change at all

You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're just climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls

You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're just climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls
You're climbing up the walls, the walls, the walls

Drunk, he's fast asleep
He's so tired, makes me weep
He stays up all night working on his songs
But then I guess we all do the same thing
He's sleepy

Watch Out lyrics - Chris Cornell

Hey hey
Watch out!
She keep on going when the light turns red
Watch out!
3 in the morning she ain't ever going to bed
Watch out!
She's going 90 in the residential zone
Watch out!
She's speeding while she put her make up on

(N n now now) Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Watch out!

She's driving crazy like the roads on fire
Watch out!
Killing the motor and she's smoking up the tires
Hey hey, watch out!
She hit the corners with her foot on the floor
Watch out!
She likes the lincoln with the sui-suicide doors

Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up

Ooh, ooh pick it up ooh hey hey, ooh
Watch out!
She's in the mirror but she coming on quick
Watch out!
She's gonna catch ya then she leave ya to the wind
Hey hey watch out!
She passing fools like they're going in reverse
She's gone insane I think her brakes don't work

Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up, watch out, now pick it up

Two Drink Minimum lyrics - Chris Cornell

This open promise fades and the sun forgets to rise
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty but it's better I stay dry
No more than two drinks away from crying

Stare into the glass and wait for the time to pass
And thank you for the offer but you know I must decline
Never more than two drinks away from crying

There used to be a time when I could hold my head up high
My life stretched out before me, rivers flow with wine
I had my love beside me and everything was fine

Now the ride is over, it's hard to say goodbye
This whole promise fades and midnight turns to day
I'd love to drown my sorrow but I cannot tell a lie
No more than two drinks away from crying

"Carry On" (2007)

No Such Thing lyrics - Chris Cornell

I saw the world, it was beautiful
But the rain got in and ruined it all
Then I tried to be invisible
It was impossible
Even for me
I laughed at love
It was a big mistake
In the absence of
I filled it with hate

Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all

I had the brains not to think at all
But the rain got in
And I thought too hard
On the world, and as usual
I slumped too far into the void
I tried to make everything meaningless
But the rain got in and made it a mess

Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing
But my finger's on the trigger
And I'll turn off the world

So what gives me the right
To think that I could throw away a life?
Even mine
And what makes you believe
That you could get away with getting old?
Overlapping me
Maybe to lose or to save your soul
Is a choice of how you fill the hole

And the rain got in

Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as nothing at all
There's no such thing as nothing
But my finger's on the trigger
And I'll turn off the world

Poison Eye lyrics - Chris Cornell

I heard the sound bite
I read your words right
I saw the light
I heard you singing
I know this song
It's my turn to write
I put this hook inside
So you won't soon forget
I got the radar
I can see so far

With my poison eye
Yeah my poison eye

When I look hard
I see in the stars
What you've done and what lies
Awaiting for you
When I look down
I see the ground
I won't make a sound
I won't need to look at you

Inside the phone lines
You think you'll hide
And you'll be alright
You're in my sidelines
You'll have no time
Even to cry
I see your pain
I see my face on your fear
I got the radar
I can see so far

With my poison eye
Yeah my poison eye

When I look hard
I see in the stars
What you've done and what lies
Awaiting for you
When i look down
I see the ground
I won't make a sound
I won't need to look at you

I can see sparks
Over a lake at midnight
I see the smiles
Falling from your face
But you're in the dark
You're in a maze
All you can do is sit here and wait for me
And I'm coming

I know the low road
I wrote the code
To break in your heart
I see the angles
I draw the cards
That burden you so
I have the sight
That follows you morning and night
I got the radar
I can see so far
With my poison eye
Yeah my poison eye
My poison eye

Arms Around Your Love lyrics - Chris Cornell

With his arms around your love
Oh no, here comes the pain that you can't ignore

With his arms around your girl
He'll do all of the things you didn't do before

You had every chance, but you closed the door..

Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it

With his arms around your love [x3]

Oh yeah

Pretend that you don't mind
But you know everything that you left behind

And it would have been alright
If you'd gave half of the praise that you held inside

You thought she'd hang around for the ride...

Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it

With his arms around your love [x3]

Coming clean feels so dangerous
Just a little bit would have been enough
But you never said all the words caught in your head

As if your heart was dead
Well now its surely bled and broken up

And it would have been alright
If you'd gave half of the praise that you held inside

You thought she'd hang around for the ride...

Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it

With his arms around your love...
