Rock On
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
> Once in a Lifetime
and you might ask yourself
what does this song mean if it has no meaning?
you might ask yourself
what does the singer feel if he has no feelings?
you might ask yourself
must everything black be black in my world? haha
you might ask yourself
what is the mystery behind every girl?

once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

you might ask yourself
just who is that fucking guy on stage think he is [sic]?
you might ask yourself
what does he know about me and my life and my problems in the world?
you might ask yourself
must he scream every line, must he scream every line?
you might ask yourself
maybe he’ll scream until there is no more sound in time

once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

whoa!
no!
what do i want?

their quest leads on in the darkness of men
and as we dive into the brilliance of life, we ask recourse and feel its true meaning
we ask to the kings, praise buddha

wow!
yow!
what do i want?!

one hive, one mind
this is our time, this is our church, this is our world
this is my perch
i don’t mean fish
ow!!
yes, yes, i agree, (escalating to screaming) yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

whoa!
what the fuck?!
oh!
