in a dream i saw you walking
like a kid alive and talking
that was you

in the classroom you were teaching
in the streets you were policing
that was you

to the one that i know most
i will tell them of your ghost
like a thing that never ever was... o

and all that ever mattered
was some cake turned back to batter
like a joke

behind thin walls you hid your feelings
takes four days to make a ceiling
like a thing

in a dream i saw you walking
with your friends alive and talking
that was you

well i saw it in your movements
and even though you never knew it
well i knew

?? im seeing it again... ah
in my eye... you never left these streets

you had me worried
so worried
?? thin(k)? peace will last

oh how i worried
worried
? this peace will pass

[realdeal]

sounds like a humpback whale trying to communicate ???

[fiftymillimeter]

nice input, real deal. i appreciate that the time you took to type that, you will never get back. wait...

[tomEisenbraun]

Holy shit...

oh man. I have the 40 watt show, and I just listened. You ever get those rolling goosebumps, at a really kickass part in a song? Right after you had meee worrrrried...when he screams. Holy shit.

on that note, I think it might be "takes four legs to make a seat" instead of "four days to make a ceiling"

[darkglow]

it's ceiling

[doEVILslittle]

yooooooooou haaaaaaaad meeeeeeeeee woooooooooooooooorried so wooooooooooooooorried that thiiiiiiiiiiiiis would laaaast

is what i hear

[tomEisenbraun]

I'm also hearing
"and all that ever mattered was sunday turned back to batter"
there's no "c" sound after "some". sounds more like sunday. but then the batter bit doesn't make sense. But in all three versions i have, I'm not hearing anything mistakable for "cake"

and I think it's "takes four legs to make a scene" ceilin is still viable, but it reallllly sounds like scene

This is all from the live versions I have.

[tomEisenbraun]

Haha, it is most definitely not ceiling.

I think it's "takes four legs to make it seem like a thing"

[marktwain]

It may be premature to say this, as I haven't heard anything but a few live versions, but this is the greatest song MMJ has ever written and/or performed.

Thanks for the lyrics - I haven't been able to make them all out.

[fiftymillimeter]

all that ever mattered will someday turn back to batter

and

takes four legs to make a (i still say it's ceilin' / sealin)

and i still don't know what comes after 'so worried'É

[doEVILslittle]

all that ever mattered will someday turn back to batter

and

takes four legs to make a (i still say it's ceilin' / sealin)

and i still don't know what comes after 'so worried'É

for the sake of boredom i'll repeat myself

"yooooooooou haaaaaaaad meeeeeeeeee woooooooooooooooorried so wooooooooooooooorried that thiiiiiiiiiiiiis would laaaast"
 
is what i hear

[doEVILslittle]

in a dream i saw you walking
like a kid alive and talking
that was you
in the classroom you were teaching
in the streets you were policing
that was you

to the one that i know most
i will tell them of your ghost
like a thing that never haunts

and all that ever mattered
will some day turn back to patter (meaningless babble is the definition i got)
like a joke
behind thin walls you hid your feelings
takes four walls to make a ceiling
like a thing...

well i saw it in your movements
even though you never knew it
well i knew

i'm seeing it again
ahh you never left these streets

you had me worried
so worried
that this would pass

you had me worried
so worried
that this would last

oh how i worried
i worried
that this would pass

[doEVILslittle]

any comments on my attempt? i think it's pretty dead on except for the moaning vocal parts i'm pretty sure all the other parts are exact

[Nikkogino]

behind thin walls you hid your feelings
takes four walls to make a ceiling
like a thing...

he says "takes four legs"......not "walls"

[doEVILslittle]

he says "takes four legs"......not "walls"

is that a fact? or what you hear?

[Nikkogino]

is that a fact? or what you hear?

I am listening to the leaked version...are you listening to a live version or something???  Because I am 100% positive that he says "legs."  Why don't we make a thread of it and see what the others think.  One of us is deaf...haha.

[EC]

Or you could just wait two weeks and get the lyrics printed on a sheet.

I assume.

Oh fuck.  I hope the lyrics are printed on Z.

[tomEisenbraun]

definitely...
behind thin walls you hid your feelins
 takes four legs to make it seem like a thing(?)

[doEVILslittle]

haha WOW he does say legs...i am deaf wtf is wrong with me

[Nikkogino]

haha WOW he does say legs...i am deaf wtf is wrong with me

the song would make more sense if he said "walls" though.
