THE STATE I'M IN
(Hughes/Marsh)
I know that something is wrong
And I know it’s for real
I don’t know what I’ve become
And what do I feel?
Is it for real?
Stranger than fiction, I’m lying in fear in my
room
This is the chosen, I’m leaving the pain
The black cloud is fallin’ again
The black cloud is fallin’
And he takes me higher, to the state I’m in
I’m looking down on the Earth as we sail
‘cross the sky
I’m not alone anymore
And I don’t wonder why, wonder why
Locked in this dream
I’m dying to open my eyes
Lost in the sadness
Now I’m overcome
The black cloud is fallin’ again
The black cloud is fallin’
This is the chosen, I’m leaving
The black cloud is fallin’ again
Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again
Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again
Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again
Cast in the sadness
Face with no name
The black cloud is fallin’ again
MIDNIGHT MEDITATED
(Hughes/Marsh)
I'm out on the town, down on the boulevard
Wash my face with the tears
Why do I cry so hard?
And I come to my senses
Now I'm gonna face reality
Gonna tear down the fences
So good for my sanity
And I don't give a damn, what you're thinkin'!
And I don't really care, this ship ain't sinkin'
'Cause I got a new thing
From the solar system
I'm outta my head
I am created
I am midnight meditated
I am elated
I am midnight meditated
Don't get no sleep
And I don't want to socialize
My mind, it runs deep
And I sure like to fantasize
'Cause I've been received
And I know a simple way
And I don't give a damn, what you're thinkin'!
And I don't really care, this ship ain't sinkin'
'Cause I got a new thing
From the solar system
I'm outta my head
I am created
I am midnight meditated
I am elated
I am midnight meditated
I am created
I am midnight meditated
I am elated
I am midnight meditated
IT'S ALRIGHT
(Hughes/Marsh)
I don’t want to talk about confusion
I don’t want it livin’ in my head
I just want to talk about a solution
Do you understand, remember what I said?!
You can take all my money
Now I’m singin’ my song
And I think that it’s funny
Why did I wait so long?
It’s alright if I’m dreaming
It’s alright, what’s the moaning?
It’s alright, face the measure
It’s alright, take the pressure!
I’m livin’ in a different generation
I’m livin’ with an automatic mind
Now tell me can you feel the new vibration?
Now I just want to hear it one more time
You can take all my money
Now I’m singin’ my song
And I think that it’s funny
Why did I wait so long?
It’s alright if I’m dreaming
It’s alright, what’s the moaning?
It’s alright, face the measure
It’s alright, take the pressure!
It’s alright if I’m dreaming
It’s alright, what’s the moaning?
It’s alright, face the measure
It’s alright, take the pressure!
SWITCH THE MOJO
(Hughes/Marsh)
Who is the one who’s haunting me?
I gotta know, I gotta know
You’ve taken the sacred part of me
Just let it go, just let it go
Is this the way you want to be?
Just let me know, please let me know
In some electric odyssey
You let it go, you let it go
Why do you want to pull me down?
Can’t you see I’m on the ground
I think I’m going to come around
I don’t want to switch the mojo, but I would!
I don’t want to see the freak show, but I should!
I don’t want to switch the mojo, it’s so
good!
Who is the one who is killing me?
I gotta know, I gotta know
You’ve tasted the sacred part of me
Just let it go, just let it go
I don’t want to switch the mojo, but I would!
I don’t want to see the freak show, but I should!
I don’t want to take the last blow, but I would!
I don’t want to switch the mojo, but I would!
GONE
(Hughes/Iommi)
In a dream I had a final vision
How come you just want to be my friend? How come?
Will you ever have to justify the hidden meaning in your
time again? How come?
I’m gone, gone, just like the past
Because I’m gone, and you won’t be the last
‘Cause I’ll be strong, now you can hear my
voice
Because I’m gone
In an ordinary conversation, I come to my realization
Then you come to me with velvet skin
How come I did let you in?
I’m gone, gone, just like the past
Because I’m gone, and you won’t be the last
‘Cause I’ll be strong, now you can hear my
voice
Because I’m gone
Still it breaks me down, inside
As I walk through the fire
I am a chosen man
Nothing can change me at all
I’m gone, gone, just like the past
Because I’m gone, and you won’t be the last
‘Cause I’ll be strong, now you can hear my
voice
Because I’m gone
I’m gone, gone, just like the past
Because I’m gone, and you won’t be the last
‘Cause I’ll be strong, now you can hear my
voice
Because I’m gone
You lie, you lie
Nothing will change you

THE OTHER SIDE OF ME
(Hughes/Zermüehlen)
I don’t know what you been told
What I feel is in my soul
‘Cause what I want I got for free
It’s all I need to satisfy me
Now I just want to make you see
And I don’t need no sympathy
And I just want to break on thru
And what am I supposed to do?
Right on Mr., turn your light on me
Back off Sister, won’t you let me be
Catch my spirit, won’t you set it free
Now can you see the other side of me?
I woke up in a velvet room
That’s when I heard the sonic boom
I don’t want no dope and smoke
I think I’ll tighten up my stroke
Right on Mr., turn your light on me
Back off Sister, won’t you let me be
Catch my spirit, won’t you set it free
Now can you see the other side of me?
I don’t want to give it up
‘Cause I just bleed that funky stuff
I might want to play the fool
More TV’s in the swimming pool
Right on Mr., turn your light on me
Back off Sister, won’t you let me be
Catch my spirit, won’t you set it free
Now can you see the other side of me?
Right on Mr., turn your light on me
Back off Sister, won’t you let me be
Catch my spirit, won’t you set it free
Now can you see the other side of me?
ANGELA
(Hughes/Zermüehlen)
Angela, she is a good friend
On her faith I can rely
She's an American woman
Born on the 4th of July
She don't want no philosophy
She just need photography
She was raised in poverty
Now why did you change your name?
Angela, is it true that what they say, you made the
grade?
Angela, I can see your face in the motorcade
Angela, I'm so glad that it happened for you
Angela, you're a rock 'n roll star like you wanted
Angela, she come from Georgia
She had an unusual sound
She played in the bars in Atlanta
And she killed them in London Town
She don't want no philosophy
She just need photography
She was raised in poverty
Now why did you change your name?
Angela, is it true that what they say, you made the
grade?
Angela, I can see your face in the motorcade
Angela, I'm so glad that it happened for you
Angela, you're a rock 'n roll star like you wanted
OWED TO "J"

(Instrumental)
THIS LIFE
(Hughes/Zermüehlen)
Oh Father, it’s me your friend
I feel so good inside, I’m on the mend
I broke this fever, it’s a cryin’ shame
We live and die, and then we live again!
This life is beautiful
This life is magical
This life is built on trust
And I just want to get on the bus
Why do I have to work so hard?
I’ve been livin’ for this life
Livin’ for this life
Oh Mother, thank you for my life
You’ve always been right there by my side
Just like the footprints in the sand
You make me see, you make me understand
Thank you for the morning sun
The crystal lake, another dawn
The mountain high, the valley low
The river wide, the falling snow
The happiness you gave to me
The love you give so endlessly
And you will live inside of me
Now I’m the proudest son you see!
DAYS OF AVALON
(Hughes/Marsh)
If I was lost, the last time around
There will be a beautiful place that I’ve found
I’ll go away someday
Behind the veil
Can’t you see, now let me be
You don’t have to wait for me
I know that I’ve been sometimes wrong
I feel my faith is growing strong
There is a place that I belong
These are the days of Avalon
I’m not scared anymore
And I don’t resist
There’s a voice inside of me
That I’ll never be
And I won’t be afraid
The autumn wind howls
Can’t you see my soul is free
You don’t have to pray for me
I know that I’ve been sometimes wrong
I feel my faith is growing strong
There is a place that I belong
These are the days of Avalon
And I don’t want to take
Too much of your time
‘Cause I got this feelin’ that can’t
be denied
Cry at the window
When I’m walkin’ away
you know when I can be found
you know where I can be found
It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful
THE WORLD IS BROKEN
(Hughes)
Jamie wears a pistol, she's walkin' with her gun
She's sleepin with a crystal by her side
Andy, he's a rider, a rider 'til he die
He will ride the planet one more time
The world is broken
The world is broken
There's a hole in the river
There's a hole in the sky
As I turn my face to the sun
There's a full moon risin' for the third time today
The Universe has come undone
Billie is a lifeguard, he sure do love the sun
He will be my brother all my life
Roger, he's a surfer, surfer #1
He's gonna ride the big wave one more time
The world is broken
The world is broken
Cindy, she's a joker, she was born that way
I can see her smilin' on the moon
Lol, he is a poet, how beautiful the noise
He'll live the final chapter one more time
The world is broken
The world is broken
The world is broken
The world is broken
The world is broken
Broken on me and you
