Smokin' Lyrics

[Nikkogino]

GREAT LYRICS (What I could make out)

Smokin' From Shootin'

Yeah, You've had enough excitement now,
More than you ever did,
You've never wanted to be treated like a woman,
You maintained that you was just a kid.

Well at least you were of age my dear,
These days kids they grow up so fast,
You never wanted to be commited to the present,
You too busy been livin in the past, oh.

Who then was your savior?
Who then was your friend?
Who is now, commited to the present?
Is it someone that exists?

What is life in(lovin') God?
A perfect vision of the self?
I always thought we was dealin with a one thing,
Now we are dealin' with something else.

Chorus:
Do you see my smokin' guns?
They're smokin from a shootin',
smokin' from shootin',
smokin' from shootin' at nothin dear,
Do you live your life on the run?
Losin out on lovin.
Askin for nothin,
Runnin from something that isn't there.

Who makes my decisions?
who reads all your thoughts?
What makes us how we are?
Faith can prove what science won't resolve.

Koombaya my lord,
come on row your boat ashore,
the rivers long, it is cold,
it chills the body but not the soul.

Chorus:
Do you see my smokin' guns?
They're smokin from a shootin',
smokin' from shootin',
smokin' from shootin' at nothin dear,
Do you live your life on the run?
Losin out on lovin,
Askin for nothin,
Runnin from something that isn't there.

FIGURE OUT THE REST
What are you running from?

[Nikkogino]

Someone try to figure out the end.

[realdeal]

Loosing out on lovin'?

[fitzcarraldo]

Someone try to figure out the end.

;)

[aMD]

Faith can't prove what science won't resolve.

Koombaya my lover?

Here's my try at the end:

This gun's coming or ????
What are you waiting for?
This gun's coming ????????
anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
 

That's the best I can do with it, anyway.

[TGMC421]

Faith can't prove what science won't resolve.

Koombaya my lover?

Here's my try at the end:

This gun's coming or ????
What are you waiting for?
This gun's coming ????????
anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
 

That's the best I can do with it, anyway.

Koombaya my Lord, right?

[Nikkogino]

Faith can't prove what science won't resolve.

Koombaya my lover?

Here's my try at the end:

This gun's coming or ????
What are you waiting for?
This gun's coming ????????
anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
 

That's the best I can do with it, anyway.

Koombaya my Lord, right?

I now think it is "Faith CAN prove what science won't resolve."

And yes, it is probably "Koombaya my Lord" like the song.

[Clarkwork]

This song blows me away with each listen.  It is very powerful.  I can see this one becoming my favorite song on the new album.  It hits me the same way Steam Engine does, but I won't put it in that class yet.

Agreed.  I just wish the song was a minute or two longer....who knows,  maybe the album version is (doubt it though).

[Rileserson]

Someone try to figure out the end.

I hear it as:

Diiistance, growin and growin come on
What are you runnin from(for?)?

This debate iw why I love this band.  I love hearing what I want, and love eventually finding out what the lyric actually is, and comparing the actual lyrics feeling with the feeling I had surrounding my own interpretation.

New to this forum, and glad to be here,

Matt
