Pearl Jam - Setting Sun

The cast was made
To reset broken bones
But there’s no such thing
To fix a love gone wrong

Keep knocking the door
Cause I know someone’s there
I wait on the porch
Hoping someday I’ll be let in

They say in the end
Everything will be okay
If it’s not okay
Well then, it ain't the end

Had dreams to you I would belong
Had the dream you would stay with
Me til
Kingdom come

Turns out forever has come and gone
Am I the only one hanging on?

Hand in hand
We took it on
You answered my prayers
Now from my knees I can’t get up

Lost patience with time, yeah
Hurry up your patience tonight
I’d like some of yours
In trade, can take all of mine

I dreamt to you I would belong
Held the dream you would stay with me
Til kingdom come
Turns out it was more like hit and run
Am I the only one hanging on?
Am I the only one hanging on?

If you could see what I see now
You’d find a way to stay somehow
If you could see what I see now
You’d make your way to stay somehow

May your days be long til kingdom come
May our days be long before kingdom come
May our days be long until kingdom come

We can become,... one last setting sun
Am I the only one hanging on
We could become,... one last setting sun
Or be the sun at the break of dawn

Let us not fade,...
Let us not fade.

Pearl Jam - React, Respond

I see you worried & hurried
As if addressing the jury
You are innocent
Til proven innocent
You are hurting
And it’s so magnificent

Don’t let the sky hook
Beat you to submission
Maybe it’s the price of
Price of our admission

Ain’t no fucking roses
To our condition
Turn this anger into
Nuclear fission
Yeah baby, baby

Don’t react, respond
Don’t react, respond
When what you get
Is what you don’t want
Don’t react, respond

Are we at war with each other?
Are you at war with yourself?
We could be fighting together
Instead of fighting ourselves

Start the rebuttal
All part of the game
What makes us different
And what makes us the same

The incandescence
That is your essence
The unexpected embrace
Embrace the unexpected

There’s no book on this life
There’s no use as directed
The best part I know
Was when we were connected

And the light gets brighter
As it grows
The darkness it recedes

It’s better to give
Give than to deceive
Questions dissolve
The more you believe

Don’t react, respond
Don’t react, respond
When what you get
Is what you don’t want
Don’t react, respond.

Pearl Jam - Dark Matter

Steal the light from your eyes
Drain the blood from our hearts
In all of this dark matter

Take the breath from our chest
Break the thoughts in our mind
We’re losing time, dark matter

Denounce the demigods
King diamond to discard
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the law

It’s strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else’s mistake

This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else’s mistake

Eroding away
Pulling apart
In all of this dark matter

Once heard it said
And it stuck in my head
Arrested the press
No one knows what happened next

Renounce the demagogues
King diamond to discard
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the law

No tolerance for
Intolerance or
No patience left for
Impatience no more
No love lost for
Lost loves

No sorrow for
The unaccountable

It’s strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else’s mistake

This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else’s mistake.

Pearl Jam - Running

Got me running, got me running
But the race it never ends
Got me running, or else I’m done in

You got me coming as you’re going
And the chase it never ends
I’ll be running, til the second coming

Dictator,... love hater
Lost in the tunnel and the
Tunnel ain't no fun
Now I’m lost in all the shit you’re
Flushing

Victrola,... controller
Lost in the tunnel and the tunnel’s
Getting funneled
Like the sewage in the plumbing
Cause we left the fucking water running

Got me diving, got me diving
Got me deep, I get the bends
When I’m summoned, or too late coming

You got me running, got me running
But the race it never ends
I’m feeling done in, it’s rather stunning

Was cleared for,... for lift off
Aborted my,... take off
Living in the shadows,...
Crossing my fingers
A date with the gallows,...
And a reprieve not looking likely

You got me running
You got me running.
