DEVIN TOWNSEND LYRICS

1. Truth

[Words and music: Devin Townsend]

Money [repeat]

Hallelujah [repeat]

Hello [repeat]

It's back

2. Christeen

[Words and music: Devin Townsend and Ginger]

Running beyond the speed of sound
Calling beyond the speed of sound

Say you love me, say you love yourself (say you want the Universe)
Say you need me, say you care (say you want)

Say you want me, say you want yourself (say you want the Universe)
Say you want to be with me, well (say you want)

Christeen, that's all I ask of you [4x]

Falling into the open doorway
Loving what anyone else would loathe here

Say you need it, say you need yourself (say you want the Universe)
Say you're lonely, say you care, uh (say you want)

Say you warned me, say you warned yourself (say you want the Universe)
Say you want to be with me, well (say you want)

Christeen, that's all I ask of you [4x]

Oh, are you feeling okay?
Are you feeling so much pain
That never goes away?

Oh, we know,
and we're feeling so much better than before
What's more
is that feeling isn't failing anymore

Christeen [8x]

Christeen, that's all I ask of you [7x]
Christeen, that's all I ask…

3. Bad Devil

[Words and music: Devin Townsend]

I wanna know what you all
Had for dinner
I wanna watch the rodeo
I wanna big city boy
Be a man, not a boy
I'm gonna meet you on down
Beside the bayou

I wanna be in your little friend
I wanna live in your underpants
I wanna big city boy
Be a man, not a boy
I'm gonna meet you on down beside the bayou

And we'll see how it feels when you're older
And we'll see how it feels when it's over
'Cause it's all just a waste of time
So enjoy what's on my mind

Someone should have said

Train won't stop
Never gonna stop
And it's coming back to carry me back home
Leave me alone
With nowhere to go
And ride that wind back home

Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad double-decker devil

Cry for me, baby
Lie for me, baby
Lay down before me, baby
And ride that wind back home

Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad devil

And I've seen how I'll feel when I'm older
And I've seen how I'll feel when it's over
And it's not just a waste of time
So enjoy what's on my mind

Someone should have said...

Train won't stop
It's never gonna stop
And it's coming back to carry me back home

Cry for me, baby
Lie for me, baby
Lay down before me, baby
And ride that wind back home

Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad double-decker devil

Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad devil
Bad devil

4. War

[Words and music are by Devin Townsend]

In the morning 'bout three or so
Can't stop thinking about what I know
In the morning 'bout three or so
Can't stop thinking ‘bout the universe

I keep rocking, I keep rolling
Trade in the minute for a minute that isn't there
Keep drowning, I keep rolling
Put out the fire with the water
Thinking creosote

Till the morning with a beat up bud I know
I can't fight a war without losing blood

In the morning 'bout three or so
Can't stop seeking what I need to know
God is in the mountain as is in the rock
And God is not concerned about keeping stock

So keep rocking, so keep rolling
Trade in the minute for a minute that isn't there
Keep dropping, keep rolling
Put out the fire with the water
Thinking creosote

All he ever wanted was to be alone
But you can't feel love without being loved!

Can't fight a war without losing blood
You can't fight a war without losing blood
You can't fight a war without losing blood

All we ever wanted was love
Love!

(You say, you wanna get high)

Oh, let's do this, a way down the hill
Higher still there's a war against the will
Oh, let's do this, a way down the hill
We can see the enemy, they say...
Hey! We don't want your war!

It's quite nice [repeat]

Window! Window!
It's quite extraordinary!
Window! Window!
It's quite extraordinary!
Window! Window!
It's quite extraordinary!
Window! Window!
It's quite extraordinary!

God, quiet! Just a little bit of quiet please!

Just stop the noise for once... please!

5. Soul Driven

[Words and music: Devin Townsend]

Now that the love is gone
What's still holding on?
If all that was said was true
What's still holding you?

If ever, you need someone there
Who's been therein for ever
And ever, and ever
Will waken the dawn
Awaken the dawn for you

Please, don't hesitate to call
Please, don't hesitate at all
Please, don't hesitate to call
Please, don't hesitate at all

So many words. Which ones do you say?

Sing maute dingas!
Sing maute dingas!
Sing maute dingas!
Sing maute dingas!

Soul driven!
Soul driven!
Soul driven!
Soul driven!

The birth has occurred
And the time has begun.
It's the end of this age
And the preparations
Must begin for a new time,
That takes so much work
And will hurt in the beginning.
Change always does.
And know: strength is not something
You buy or you sell.
Through aggression and fear
Only love and acceptance
Of faith will convince you,
That you're not alone,
And exist among friends.
So, have patience...

Don't give in
Don't give in
Don't give in
Have patience

... in no time!
It's time
You have a decision to make

Bodywash!

Home everybody hear
Home everybody hear
Home everybody hear
Everybody knows it's very good now
Home everybody hear
Home everybody hear
Home everybody hear
Everybody knows it's very good now

Home everybody hear
Home everybody hear
Home everybody hear
Everybody knows it's very good now
Home everybody hear
Home everybody hear
Home everybody hear
Everybody knows it's very good now

6. Ants

[Words and music: Devin Townsend]

Alive, but so alone
Live, so alive

All we need is money
Just a little bit of money,
And that's all
That we've been searching for

Don't waste money.

All we need is money
Just a little bit of money,
And that's all
That we've been searching for

All we need is money
Just a little bit of money,
Just a little bit of money makes the world go round

7. Colonial Boy

[Words and music: Devin Townsend]

If you ever need a friend in me
...ever need a friendly feed
Please don't ever let me slip away
Please don't ever let me slip away

What I'll miss in the travesty
Is easier than it needs to be
Please don't ever let me slip away
Please don't ever let me ever slip away

(That's the saviour) [repeat until the end]

'Cause it's all in the fantasy
I'd do or say anything
Sell me, tell me, I'm wild, I'm wild

As I am in the fantasy
I'll do or say anything
I dance for thee
'Cause we all enjoy
A wild colonial boy

Time! Time!

And it's all that I need to be
I'd do or say anything
Tell me, hail me, I'm wild, I'm wild

As I am in the fantasy
I'll do or say anything
I dance for thee
'Cause we all enjoy
A wild colonial boy
A wild colonial boy
A wild colonial boy
A wild colonial boy

8. Dynamics

[Words and music: Devin Townsend]

Winter hides the dead
Just like summer ends too soon
Springing forth the new knowing
Autumn is the tomb
And I'll wait for you
'Cause it's waiting for you

Living hides the dead just like
Suns and earth and moon
Springing forth the new knowing
Flowers need to bloom
And I'll wait for you
'Cause it's waiting for you

Unsure? Well, here's help with the wait
The heavens move and the earth will quake
And now God has failed as a metaphor
There's only awe forever more

'Cause...
Life is all dynamics
Life is all... dynamics
There's life in all dynamics
Life is all dynamic
Life is all dynamic
Life is all dynamic

Unsure? Well, here's help with the weight
There's only "god" for "heaven's" sake
There's only one key to unlock the door
You must get by the metaphor

9. Unity

[Words and music: Devin Townsend]

Life, it's all life
It's all alive
It's alright now

It's all alive
It's all alive
It's all alive
It's alright now

We're home
Home, home, home...

Light, it's all light
It's all lies
It's a life
It's all right, now we're home

It's all light
It's all light
It's all light

Light, it's all light
It's all light
It's all light
It's all light

It's all light
It's all light
It's all light
It's all light…

10. Noisy Pinkbubbles

[Words and music: Devin Townsend]

Yeah, baby

That's right

You and I will never be
Falling for reality
You and I, and every being
Falling for reality

You and I will never be
Falling into alcohol
You and I must never mean
You for you, and all for you

You never could tell by the face
When they're starting to go
They never could tell by his face
He would starting to go

And you make all my words go away
And you take all my time
But you make all the hurt go away
And all I can say
It it's day after day,
All I know

Fine, fine, fine

So you make all these dreams go away
And you help me due time
Can you make all the love go away?
'Cause all I can say
Is it's day after day,
God, I know

Fine, fine, just leave me alone
Just let me go away
Just let me go away
Just let me go away

Just go away
Just go away
Just go away
Just go away

Just go away
Just go away
Just go away
Just go…
