311 – Use Of Time

Album: “Transistor”

With the words slaying me slow
The verbs that just don’t flow
Confusing use of time
Partial stoning of the heart
Waiting for something to start
Confusing use of time

But the trying again
Makes me think it’s all gonna end
Confusing use of time

But everytime I turn the volume down
All the I hear is the deafening sound
Of you hearts pound

But the trying again
Makes me think it’s all gonna end
Confusing use of time

Today, the longest day
Hearing repeating things you’d say
Confusing use of time
Can you hear the void I describe
What could I say vacancy sounds like
Confusing use of time

But the trying again
Makes me think it’s all gonna end
Confusing use of time

311 – What Was I Thinking

Album: “Transistor”

The word that I heard was so absurd
I can’t believe it slipped from my lips
The tongue with which it was sung was so dumb [2x]
I wish to pull it from my skull

What the f**k was I thinking [8x]

311 – Electricity

Album: “Transistor”

This song started as a rant against haters
But that’d be giving in to the instigators
If there is one thing I’d like to pull off
When someone steps with hate all I do is just scoff
You can’t burn me [2x]

The same force that flows through every circuit
The juice that’s spent everytime you work it
Every life form is based on this simplicity
The soul that you have is electricity

You can’t avoid that
Evolution is fact
We’re all from the same Lucy
Despite differences you see

I’m in disbelief at what people will believe
All along I thought we had our hearts on our shirtsleeve
If one thing I can say as a piece of advice
Don’t believe it till you see it and then see it twice
It’s so funny [2x]

The same force that flows through every circuit
The juice that’s spent everytime you work it
Every life form is based on this simplicity
The soul that you have is electricity

You can’t avoid that
Evolution is fact
We’re all from the same Lucy
Despite differences you see
A call out for unity
In every province and city
What do you think we’ve been saying
Since we first started playing

311 – Beautiful Disaster

Album: “Transistor”

Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue
I try to be not like that but some people really s**k
Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck

I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She’s always running from something so many things ignored
I might do that stuff if it didn’t make me feel like s**t
I’m on some old reality tip so many trips in it

Beautiful disaster
Flyin’ down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You’re a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can’t care
I do I don’t whatever

I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She’s always running from something so many things ignored
I try to be not like this but I thought it’d make a good song
There’s nothing to see shows over people just move along

Beautiful disaster
Flyin’ down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You’re a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can’t care
I do I don’t whatever

311 – Inner Light Spectrum

Album: “Transistor”

When I shadow box inside my skull
Bothered by the senselessness
I wish for the messiah
Indian woman, Babylon

There is one thing I will say on life
We are livin’ yeah
Let it flow
Cuz it won’t stop

And when the kind consiousness yes come unto you
You will know and it won’t stop

When I wipe the sleep from my eyes
Will my fondest dream please come true
Crush my heart with a hammer
Make a purer one Babylon

There is one thing I will say on life
We are livin’ yeah
Let it flow
Cuz it won’t stop

And when the kind consiousness yes come unto you
You will know and it won’t stop

But mean people I say choke on it
Gagging all the way
May you remember the texture for days
But you’ll get used to
The feeling of your pride
Of your pride [2x]
Chugalug it [2x]
Time after time [3x]
Learning your lesson [2x]
Will do you fine
Do you fine [2x]
