Portugal. The Man Album

Save me,
I can't be saved,
I won't.
I'm a president's son,
I don't need no soul.

All the soldiers say
"It'll be alright,
we may make it through the war
if we make it through the night."
All the people, they say:
"What a lovely day, yeah, we won the war.
May have lost a million men, but we've got a million more."
All the people, they say.

Share with me
All of your pain,
I won't share your love,
I need all your love.

All the soldiers say
"It'll be alright,
We may make it through the war
If we make it through the night."
All the people, they say:
"What a lovely day, yeah, we won the war.
May have lost a million men, but we've got a million more."
All the people, they say.

Save me,
I can't be saved,
I won't.
I don't need no love.
I'm a president's son.

All the soldiers say
"It'll be alright,

If we make it through the night."
All the people, they say:
"What a lovely day, yeah, we won the war.
May have lost a million men, but we've got a million more."
All the people, they say.

It'll be alright,
It'll be alright,
It'll be right now.

If you work all day you keep the rhythm through the night,
If you work all night you keep the rhythm through the day,
If you sell that soul you'll be burning up right,
If you ain't got no soul, that's fine, alright.

All I've ever known is true.
Pick it up, pack it up, put it in a bag,
Stack it up like cinnamon, we'll get it real fast,
Until there's nothing left for you.
Pick it up, pack it up, put it in a bag,
Stack it up like cinnamon, we'll get it real fast,
Until there's nothing left of you.

Keep the rhythm through the night,
If you need a little money keep working alright,
It'll help that soul, a little help may do some right,
You don't need that soul, well that's fine, alright.
I work all day, keep the rhythm through the night,
I work all night, keep on walking, alright,
If you sell that soul, that's fine, alright,
If you sell that soul, that's fine, alright.

All I've ever known is true.
Pick it up, pack it up, put it in a bag,
Stack it up like cinnamon, we'll get it real fast,
Until there's nothing left for you.
Pick it up, pack it up, put it in a bag,
Stack it up like cinnamon, we'll get it real fast,
Until there's nothing left of you.

Pick it up, pack it up, put it in a bag,
Stack it up like cinnamon, we'll get it real fast,
Until there's nothing left for you.
Pick it up, pack it up, put it in a bag,
Stack it up like cinnamon, we'll get it real fast,
Until there's nothing left of you.
Until there's nothing left of you.

Crawl from the fire into the pan,
What we don't need, hell will demand,
Higher, higher, higher, higher.
Higher, higher, higher, higher.
Well I'm not in need therefore don't demand,
And what hell can sell you I can't defend,
Higher, higher, higher, higher.
Higher, higher, higher, higher.

And if another lover takes that love away from you,
Be careful with your mind and what you're bound to do.

Lovers in love.
Lovers in love.

Lovers loving love just like these lovers are loving in love.
Lovers loving love just like these lovers are loving in love.

And if another lover takes that love away from you,
Be careful with your mind and what you're bound to do.

Lovers in love.
Lovers in love.
Lovers in love.
Lovers in love.

And if we make it, I'll come back.
And if we make it, I'll come back.

Lovers loving love just like these lovers are loving in love.
Lovers loving love just like these lovers are loving in love.

Lovers in love. (Higher, higher, higher.)
Lovers in love. (Higher, higher, higher.)
Lovers in love. (Higher, higher, higher.)
Lovers in love. (Higher, higher, higher.)

If you look real high you just might find
Sitting in the stars, glistening, glistening
Waiting for the band to come
Just waiting for that man to come.
Oh, I wonder...

Sleep on down from the sun to climb,
Down to earth and down to things like time,
Because we are all, we are all just lovers,
Born of earth and light like all the others.

If you're talking to the moon,
The moon might sing about the universe
Shouting: "I don't need, I don't need time",
I breathe in time.
Where are we now?
Where are we now?

Sleep on down from the sun to climb,
Down to earth and down to things like time,
Because we are all, we are all just lovers,
Born of earth and light like all the others.

If you're looking for the river just find the mouth,
It's grinding like gnashing teeth foaming out, foaming out,
Mixing up that hell to come.
Just mixing up my hell to come.

And it's fixing up to swallow me whole.
It's fixing up to swallow me whole.
It's fixing up to swallow my soul.
Fixing up to swallow me whole.

Sleep on down from the sun to climb,
Down to earth and down to things like time,
Because we are all, we are all just lovers,
Born of earth and light like all the others.

Where, where are we now?
Where, where are we now?
Where, where are we now?
Where, where are we now?

Do you ever listen to the sounds that your hands make?
Did you know that we could make sounds?
I don't know what the palace knows,
But I don't run with sheep, the shepherd can't herd me.
My feet ever slow with the age that takes me,
I'll slip out to the mountains where nobody knows me.

I will make my home here,
I will make my home here,
I will make my home here.

Grow a field of plenty to hold me tight,
And keep us warm from the cold that burns me.
My feet ever slow with the age that takes me,
I'll slip out to the mountains where nobody knows me.

I will make my home here,
I will make my home here,
I will make my home here.

Do you ever listen for sounds that your head make?
Did you know that we could make sounds?
I don't know what the palace knows,
But I don't run with sheep, the shepherd can't herd me.
My feet ever slow with the age that takes me,
I'll slip out to the mountains where nobody knows me.

I will make my home here,
I will make my home here,
I will make my home here.
(I will make my home here)

I will make my home here,
I will make my home here,
I will make my home here.
(I will make my home here)

I know that I was fine before. (Fine before, fine before)
I know that I was fine before. (Fine before, fine before)
I know that I was fine before. (Fine before, fine before)
I know that I was fine before. (Fine before, fine before)

When I lived in the woods,
When I lived in the woods,
When I lived in the woods,
Everything was alright.
Everything, everything was alright.
Never knew where we are,
Never needed enough,
Never need enough, just where we are.
Everything was alright.
All the people, all the people were living the light.

As I breathe in time
To be where I was,
And if I need you,
Baby, give me all your love.
If we need
To find the time,
We'll never see
All your love.

If you find yourself in need,
If we gotta go then bring along some company.
And if you find yourself alone,
If we got it all then we got just what we need.

Why? Why? Why?

As I breathe in time
To be where I was,
And if I need you,
Baby, give me all your love.
If we need
To find the time,
We'll never see
All your love.

When I lived in the woods,
When I lived in the woods,
When I lived in the woods,
Everything was alright.
Everything, everybody was alright.
Well ya gotta get out, gotta make some money,
Baby, gotta grow,
Baby, gotta get bigger.
All the people will lift it up.
All the people, all the people will help you out.

As I breathe in time
To be where I was,
And if I need you,
Baby, give me all your love.
If we need
To find the time,
We'll never see
All your love.

Why? Why? Why?

We took a trip down in '87
We were looking for a place where we don't fear heaven
We got..got some guns, got some dogs

Looking to the town to show us what they got

if we step a little higher will we find it then
There's gotta be something roaming up about around the bend

oooh

oooh
once you crawl in you'll never come back again

Though I never pray god reigns today
Though I never pray god reigns today

Do you understand the people that we are
Do you believe right from the start
Do you see that everybody needs
Do you feel when you're burning in that hell
Yeah, we can make it here

Did you find your fear?
Did you find your fear?
Did you find your fear?
Did you find your fear?

Do you fear the marching of the lamb
Do you believe there is loyalty in man
Do you see when others turn away
Do you hear it swimming in that head
Yeah, we can make it here

Did you find your fear?
Did you find your fear?
Did you find your fear?
Did you find your fear?

He came down from the moon and rained down on all of us,
Rained down on all of us and everyone was saved.
He fell into the sea just to swim around,
Just to feel the clouds on the way down,
And everyone was saved,
And everyone was saved,
And everyone was saved.

Did you find your fear?
Did you find your fear?
Did you find your fear?
Did you find your fear?

diamonds shine like stars
under the ground
little rivers run in rings
around the town
everyone's a soldier
just marching towards the ocean

so we packed up all we had
and moved in '93
everyone is golden
everyone is golden
nobody will love them
nobody will love them
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden

and we took a train
into the town
and stuck another needle in the ground
and if we never made another sound
then we know

so we packed up all we had
and moved in '93
everyone is golden
everyone is golden
nobody will love them
nobody will love them
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden

and i lift you up
gathered around the school
to hear just what they found
they told us they had tried
still the little boy had died
we gathered around to hear
just what they'd done
yeah, they shined
like stars under the ground
and everyone's a soldier
just marching towards the ocean

so we packed up all we had
and moved in '93
everyone is golden
everyone is golden
nobody will love them
nobody will love them
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
nobody will love you
nobody will love you
nobody will love you

It's a shame that we need everything
Still everything I see, I need

Just go,
Please don't go
I, I want all, all, all that I see, see, see

Just go,
Please don't go
'Cause I'll only let you down
And I'll only let you down

And watch the world spinnin' 'round
And know that it's alright, alright, alright, alright, alright,
Alright

Just go,
Please don't go
'Cause I'll only let you down
And I'll only let you down

And watch the world, watch the world,
Watch the world, watch the world, watch the world

'Cause I'll only let you down
Only let you down
Let you down

mornings go best with the sunrise
the sunrise i used to see
i'll never see now
and if i was waiting
we'd build it all up
we'd look all around till we found
we found

the people found the mountain
climbed up from that hole in the ground
through that crack in the sky
threatened to fall
still, i don't believe, i don't believe
we'll be just fine
we'll be just fine

the future was born with the sunrise
the sunrise spilled into days
and even more years passed
he rode further
burning up trails
we looked all around till we found
we found

the people found the mountain
climbed up from that hole in the ground
through that crack in the sky
threatened to fall
still, i don't believe, i don't believe
we'll be just fine
we'll be just fine

the sun, it rose
up from the belly of sea
found its bedding up in those clouds
it hung for years
still, i don't believe
while colors rained
and poured from the cotton-bound pools in the drips
those drips stained us all
still, i don't believe

the people found the mountain
climbed up from that hole in the ground
through that crack in the sky
i don't believe
i don't believe
the people found the mountain
climbed up from that hole in the ground
through the crack in the sky
i don't believe, i don't believe
and we'll be just fine
we'll be just fine
we'll be just fine
i don't believe
no, i don't believe
no, i don't believe
