Come down to the sinkhole
Where the mud is thick and deep
Bring your special poison
The one that makes you go to sleep
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Bring a stick for wild dogs
That hunt in packs at night
Bring firepower, if you can
You might find that you have to fight
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Lay down in the tall grass
Next to the sycamores
Think of those who've come and gone
Slaughtered in the many wars
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Look out at the ocean
To the waters dark and deep
Bring your special poison
The one that makes you go to sleep
Go and pack your bag
Make sure you lock the door
Don't think about it very much
It's better to ignore
Is The Spell Really Broken? lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Is the spell really broken?
Has the time finally come?
Do they see it's an omen?
That it's over and done?
Have they seen the thing coming?
Or do they pretend?
Do they know that it's finally
Beginning to end?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Have the castles all crumbled
Into dust in the sky?
Have the billions been humbled?
Are they ready to die?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Have they emptied the prisons?
Have they heard the death knells?
Have they hung the last hangman
And must now hang themselves?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Has the time finally come?
Do they see it's an omen?
That it's over and done?
Have they seen the thing coming?
Or do they pretend?
Do they know that it's finally
Beginning to end?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Have the castles all crumbled
Into dust in the sky?
Have the billions been humbled?
Are they ready to die?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Have they emptied the prisons?
Have they heard the death knells?
Have they hung the last hangman
And must now hang themselves?
No, they won't listen
They don't know they're in hell
They're really quite happy
With things and themselves
Everlasting Peace lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The slow march of the army
The dragging of the boots
The laying and the waiting
Until someone starts to shoot
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
The slow arc of the sun that moves
Across the blazing sky
The vultures circling in the heat
Above where dying lie
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
The miles of green that thirst to death
The blowing of the sand
And then the creeping cold begins
And freezes all the land
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
The dragging of the boots
The laying and the waiting
Until someone starts to shoot
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
The slow arc of the sun that moves
Across the blazing sky
The vultures circling in the heat
Above where dying lie
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
The miles of green that thirst to death
The blowing of the sand
And then the creeping cold begins
And freezes all the land
Where is there this silence, then?
This everlasting peace?
You'll find it on the cold blue
Smiling lips of the deceased
Sonnet 2 (And Back In Ages Past) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
And back in ages past, when all was dark
A whirling chaos raged across the land
Survival of the cruelest left their mark
And evil came, and shook the hand of man
The brutal rampaged on their bloody way
The demons turned to gods, and gods to beasts
Unbroken cries of pain rang every day
While colder hearts prevailed, and sat to feast
And now these times approach us once again
No more will sing the solitary lark
The cruelest have returned, and they shall reign
In choking smoke and fire and endless dark
So if your heart is in it still, then stay
Remember, though, these are our final days
A whirling chaos raged across the land
Survival of the cruelest left their mark
And evil came, and shook the hand of man
The brutal rampaged on their bloody way
The demons turned to gods, and gods to beasts
Unbroken cries of pain rang every day
While colder hearts prevailed, and sat to feast
And now these times approach us once again
No more will sing the solitary lark
The cruelest have returned, and they shall reign
In choking smoke and fire and endless dark
So if your heart is in it still, then stay
Remember, though, these are our final days
The Beginning Of The End lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
And when the rain begins to fall
And there's flooding in the streets
And everyone is drowning
And everyone retreats
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
And when the bombs begin to fall
And the fires fill the streets
And the people scream blue murder
And there's nowhere to retreat
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
And when the angels begin to fall
Into their fiery hell
They knew that there would be no end
But they rang their bells
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
And there's flooding in the streets
And everyone is drowning
And everyone retreats
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
And when the bombs begin to fall
And the fires fill the streets
And the people scream blue murder
And there's nowhere to retreat
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
And when the angels begin to fall
Into their fiery hell
They knew that there would be no end
But they rang their bells
And if there ever is a time
When death becomes your friend
It is when you watch it all come down
The beginning of the end
The beginning of the end
You've Had Your Run lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The cards are dealt, the bids are in
The faces, poker straight
The air is full of smoke and sweat
The men are full of hate
Rest your tired bones, my friend
The game is nearly done
However much you might regret
In life, you've had your run
Start your engines, gentlemen
There's not much time to wait
Remember there's no going back
Once we open up the gate
Rest your tired bones, my friend
The game is nearly done
However much you might regret
In life, you've had your run
The stakes are high, the moon is up
The drinks are flowing free
They've bet on all the horses
Now they can only wait and see
Rest your tired bones, my friend
The game is nearly done
However much you might regret
In life, you've had your run

Now they can only wait and see
Rest your tired bones, my friend
The game is nearly done
However much you might regret
In life, you've had your run
Yes, in life, you've had your run
There Is No Final Winner lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
There is no final winner
There is no final score
The men have left the playing field and play no more
The hours have been counted
The work is finally done
And now the night begins to fall on everyone
The lovers have done their loving
The murderers their task
The hunted have been snared and gagged and masked
So when you're in the graveyard
Read those names in stone
After all, you'll never get to read your own
There is no final score
The men have left the playing field and play no more
The hours have been counted
The work is finally done
And now the night begins to fall on everyone
The lovers have done their loving
The murderers their task
The hunted have been snared and gagged and masked
So when you're in the graveyard
Read those names in stone
After all, you'll never get to read your own
You've Done It Once Again lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The kill is fresh, the deed is done
You lay down in your bed
But sleep won't come, you're still too high
And thoughts race through your head
And then the guilt begins to gnaw
And your belly turns to stone
And you realize it's you that did it
You and you alone
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again
You swore you'd not repeat your crime
You took a solitary oath
But now you're back where you began
Just you and you alone
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again
And now you rise again from bed
And look out at the day
Regret the things that you have done
And then do them all again
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again
You lay down in your bed
But sleep won't come, you're still too high
And thoughts race through your head
And then the guilt begins to gnaw
And your belly turns to stone
And you realize it's you that did it
You and you alone
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again
You swore you'd not repeat your crime
You took a solitary oath
But now you're back where you began
Just you and you alone
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again
And now you rise again from bed
And look out at the day
Regret the things that you have done
And then do them all again
And there's no one else to turn to
And there's no one else to blame
And you suddenly realize
You've done it once again
Yeah, you've done it
Once again
Sonnet 3 (The Cold Is Here) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
The cold is here, the woods are full of snow
The river with its crusted banks of ice
Bespeak of winter drownings long ago
The chest pressed tightly, as though in a vise
The birds have flown away to warmer climes
The mammals in their caves to hibernate
The summer seems a lost and gentle time
When grass grew up against the swinging gate
The children's cheeks have turned a rosy red
The wealthy are beside their fires, warm
And then there's he who is without a bed
In which to lay and ride the raging storm
And in the graveyard, cold old bones do lie
And far above, the stars light up the sky
The river with its crusted banks of ice
Bespeak of winter drownings long ago
The chest pressed tightly, as though in a vise
The birds have flown away to warmer climes
The mammals in their caves to hibernate
The summer seems a lost and gentle time
When grass grew up against the swinging gate
The children's cheeks have turned a rosy red
The wealthy are beside their fires, warm
And then there's he who is without a bed
In which to lay and ride the raging storm
And in the graveyard, cold old bones do lie
And far above, the stars light up the sky
The Wicked And The Evil lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
There are those who kneel to worship
And beg for clemency
There are those who know the hardship
Of a conscience that'is not free
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
The prisoners feel the scorching sun
As they toil among the rocks
Some are grim, some resigned
But not one ever talks
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
The sinner knowing he has sinned
Is not saved, he is cursed
For no matter how he may repent
He's done his worst
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
And beg for clemency
There are those who know the hardship
Of a conscience that'is not free
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
The prisoners feel the scorching sun
As they toil among the rocks
Some are grim, some resigned
But not one ever talks
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
The sinner knowing he has sinned
Is not saved, he is cursed
For no matter how he may repent
He's done his worst
Some are weary, some are cold
Some barely half-alive
But the wicked and the evil
Eat, and drink, and thrive
It's A Shame lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
I wanna get you high
But I'm gonna make you cry
You'll hate me, and you'll miss me when I'm gone
It's been a little dry
But still I'm gonna try
You'll miss the stuff I get when you are gone
And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
Its gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too
I see you touch your hip
I see you bite your lip
I'll miss it, when you get to movin' on
And when I trip
On them girly strips,
They'll be just like you, or any other one
And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
It's gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too
I wanna just pretend
But I know in the end
That I will never win like this again
But if I have to choose
I think I'd rather lose
The easy way has always been my friend
And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
It's gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too
But I'm gonna make you cry
You'll hate me, and you'll miss me when I'm gone
It's been a little dry
But still I'm gonna try
You'll miss the stuff I get when you are gone
And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
Its gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too
I see you touch your hip
I see you bite your lip
I'll miss it, when you get to movin' on
And when I trip
On them girly strips,
They'll be just like you, or any other one
And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
It's gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too
I wanna just pretend
But I know in the end
That I will never win like this again
But if I have to choose
I think I'd rather lose
The easy way has always been my friend
And it's a shame, and I'm to blame
It's gonna end, we won't be friends
And when it's past, you'll have had a blast
And I'll be happy for you
And for me, too

Make it stronger, take it faster
Fake it longer, make it last her
Natural causes, fake disasters
Teeth and claws and slaves and masters
Pull it harder, push it faster

Turn it up and make it louder
Suck it back and feel the power
Pull it harder, push it faster

I'm The Man (That You Are Not) lyrics - Crash Test Dummies
Here's a nasty little queen
There's a boy who loves his mother
Here's another operator
Thinkin' that he's got it covered
You're in a jam
You're tied up in knots
And I'm the man
That you are not
Yeah, I'm the man

Here's some white boy doin' time
There's one that got out
Here's another brother who seems to think
He knows what it's about
You're in a jam
You're tied up in knots
And I'm the man

Yeah, I'm the man
That you are not
I'm the one just sittin' back
Waitin' here alone
I stay inside and shut the blinds
Do everything by phone
You're in a jam
You're tied up in knots
