What are your top 10 favorite Live lyrics? Here are mine (in no particular order).

Mirror Song
What about my bank account
And my holy desert shield
That keep me dry under the arms?
Flags and mental jewelry's all I know
And they keep my happy and warm inside

I Alone
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
you'll need them, your boat is at sea
your anchor is up, you've been swept away
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate

Hold Me Up
I'll lift you up, we can love or cry
Hey, I'm in love, I'll take you up again
Your eyes have too many colors and I can only try
Your energy could be runnin' low, now
The juice is dry

All Over You
our love is like water pinned down and abused for being strange
our love is no other than me alone for me all day
our love is like angels pinned down and abused

Lightning Crashes
lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall

The Dolphin's Cry
oh yeah, we meet again
it's like we never left
time in between was just a dream
did we leave this place?
this crazy fog surrounds me
you wrap your legs around me
all I can do to try and breathe

The Distance
I've been to pretty buildings, all in search of you
I have lit all the candles, sat in all the pews
the desert had been done before, but I didn't even care
I got sand in both my shoes and scorpions in my hair
I saw that...

Face and Ghost
lost in the maya
overboard in the sea
there was void and then that water broke
then something called "me"
now a trip to the desert to look at the sky
it's like never-ending mirrors
playing tricks on my eyes

They Stood Up For Love
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
looking back to our birth, forward to our demise
even scientists say, everything is just light
not created, destroyed but eternally bright
masters in everytime lord in everyplace
those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate

Mystery
Thought I knew the rules, thought I held it in my hand
Thought I was bulletproof till the blood pooled up in the sand
Are you a satellite, a shooting star or a dove?
Did we put you way up there or did God send you down from above?

Mirror Song
So I said unto this man, "Who are you and where do you come from?"
And he proceeded to tell me many, many, many, many, many, many, many things.
But I said nothing at all. For the flower in the corner, by the room, in the window, in the sun said it all.


Paper Flowers
This girl walks up so graciously, slips something in my pocket so secretly. I said "Honey, what's this you gave to me?" "Oh nothing, water, wait and see." I said "Paper flowers, they can't grow!"
"Give 'em water and let me know."


Selling the Drama--
And to love: a God
And to fear: a flame
And to burn: a crowd that has a name
And to Christ: a cross
And to me: a chair
I will sit and earn the ransom from up here.

TBD--
In the moment I was losing my head, readin' too much and losin' my head and I was reachin' forward, I was already there, readin' too much and losin' my head. This information caused a cut in the line, now I'm remembering God and readin' too much it's so nice.
The print is smaller than the ants in the grass, I'll have to put it away now.

Freaks--
Will you call them freaks? Or will you call them Gods? Will you call them freaks?
You know your sperm is weak. You never looked, so high to ever find her so low.
You did not have to go, that far to show you were holy.

Voodoo Lady
Light up a cigarette she said and calm the fuck down. You got a serious side to you that could give the whole world a frown. Now nothin' really matters to me you see, check out these holes in my gown. Let your eyes lose their focus a little, let your guard come down. I was thirsty for everything
but water wasn't my style. Guess we might have to teach me somethin', guess we might have to show me how.
Relax and let your ears hear this beautiful song
that's hidin' underneath the sound!
(Best lyric ever right there in bold. Always thought it would make an awesome tattoo....one day).

Where Fishes Go
Yeah I found God and he was absolutely nothin' like me.
He showed me up like some dime-store hooker, it was plain to see.
I couldn't take it anymore, so I went back to the sea, 'cause that's where fishes go when fishes get the sense to flee.
Where you goin' now? What's your plan?
Yeah I found God and he was absolutely just like me.
He opened my mouth, looked down my throat and told me I was thirsty.
He said, "I been, I been, I been, been in this water all my life...never took the time to breathe, breathe, breathe!

They Stood Up For Love (I don't even like this song, but the lyrics are pristine).
We spend all of our lives going out of our minds, looking back to our birth, forward to our demise.
Even scientists say, everything is just light, not created, destroyed, but eternally bright.
Masters in every time, Lord, in every place.
Those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate.
Who put the flower in the barrel of that gun? Who lit the candle that started the fire, burnt down the fortress, the throne? Who could house all the refugees in a single shack or a lowly bungalow?
Who lives in a different dimension, free from the struggles we know?
I give my heart and soul to the one!

Heaven
I don't need no one to tell me about heaven. I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth. I can see the sunset and I perceive.


Like I Do
Darling, I feel like a God when I am next to you. Something sacred, someone straight and true.
Tell me, do you feel the same way too? Don't you give me loving like a revelation, don't you make me burn and make me feel the danger, salutations to the maker of my finest hour, goddess, queen, mother, sister, lover, don't you ever leave.

Ah, such diverse opinions in the Live community. I would put this up there in my top 10 least favorite Live lyrics. Probably not as bad as "Picked you up by your puppy scruff..." though wink.gif
