PEARL JAM - BINAURAL (2000) SongList: Breakerfall God's Dice Evacuation Light Years Nothing As It Seems Thin Air Insignificance Of The Girl Grievance Rival Sleight Of Hand Soon Forget Parting Ways BREAKERFALL There's a girl on a ledge She got nowhere to turn Cause all the love that she had Was just wood that she burned Now her life is on fire It's no ones concern She can blame the world...a prey til dawn But only love...can breakerfall Breakerfall... Only love...can breakerfall Fall… It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth And she 's standing outside hating everyone here And she 's her own disease, crying to her doll But only love...can breakerfall Brekerfall... Only love can breakerfall Fall… Breakerfall...love...can breakerfall Only love...can breakerfall Love...can breakerfall Can breakerfall Only love can breakerfall GOD’S DICE It's out of my hands, makin' your hands meet Stumble eye it's crumbling out of reach It's in the cards of destiny, sanity in tow Designate, my luck Resignate... This power has no roots to guide, no rule Trust me, rusted minds refuse to go Unwillingness it's meaningless to walk away the pain Designate my will I designate my fill Resignate... My love is crashin' synapses flashin' slow Days like framed by frame where they go Oh yeah why fight, forget it can't I spend it after I go Roll them high... Throw them again... All God's dice... Monkey driven, call this livin', ha ha ha Oh too much thought is overwrought a hole Got minding yours what's mine not yours Will finish us off I designate my life Oh designate my view I designate my will, my will, my will, I will Resignate my god EVACUATION The sirens scream want on attention... Time to take heed and change direction... Bound to take stock and make omissions... Evacuation... evacuation... Time to take leave of formal functions... Time to plant seeds of a reconstruction No time this time to feign reluctance... It's like you're waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way Bets put aside your evil...let's crawl into your face A vision, vague or not, raising a frightful wake you up Time for... Evacuation (x6) There was a solemn man who watched his twilight disappear (in the sand) Altered by a fallen eagle, a warning sign He sensed worry could be strength With a plan said time for... Evacuation (x12) LIGHT YEARS I've used hammers made out of wood I have played games with pieces and rules I've deciphered tricks at the bar... But now you're gone...I haven't figured out why I've come up with riddles and jokes about war I figure out numbers and what they're for I've understood feelings...and I've understood words But how could you be taken away? And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go It don't seem fair...today just disappeared Your lights reflected now...reflected from afar We were but stones...your light made us stars With heavy breath, awaken regrets Back pages and days alone that could have been spent Together...but we were...miles apart Every inch between us becomes light years now No time to be void or save up on life Oh, you got to spend it all... And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go It don't seem fair...you seem to lack again Your lights reflected now...reflected from afar We were but stones...your light made us stars And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go It don't seem fair...today just disappeared Your lights reflected now...reflected from afar We were but stones...your light made us stars NOTHING AS IT SEEMS Don't feel like home... He's a little out... And all these words elope... Is nothing like your poem... Putting in...inputting in... Don't feel like methadone... A scratching voice all alone... Is nothing like your baritone... It's nothing as it seems The little that he needs...it's home The little that he sees Is nothing he concedes...it's home One uninvited chromosome A blanket like the ozone It's nothing as it seems All that he needs it's home The little that he frees Is nothing he believes Saving up a sunny day Something maybe two-tone Anything of his own A chip off the cornerstone Who's kidding rainy day A one way ticket headstone Occupations overthrown A whisper through a megaphone It's nothing as it seems The little that he needs...it's home The little that he sees Is nothing he concedes...it's home And all that he frees A little bittersweet...it's home It's nothing as it seems The little that you see...it's home THIN AIR There's a light...when my baby is in my arms... There's a light...when the window shades are drawn... Hesitate...when I feel I may do harm to her... Wash it off...cause this feeling we can share... And I know she's reached my heart...in thin air Byzantine...is reflected in our pond... There's a cloud...but the water remains calm... Reaching in...the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass... Even out... it's a precious thing to bear... And I know she's reached my heart...in thin air Yes I know she's reached my heart...in thin air It's not in my past to presume... Love can keep on moving in both directions... How to happy and true... Is the quest we're taking on together... Taking on...on...on...on...on Taking on...on...on...on...on There's a light...when my baby is my arms... And I know she's reached my heart...in thin air And I know she's reached my heart...in thin air And I know she's reached my heart...in thin air Yes I know she's reached my heart... INSIGNIFICANCE All in all...it's no one's fault... Excuses turn to carbon walls... Blame it on chemical intercourse The swallowed seeds of arrogance... Breeding in the thoughts of ten ... Thousand fools that fight irrelevance The full moon is dead skin... The one down here's wearing thin... To set up...the ten pins As the human tide rolls in... Like a ball that's spinning... Bombs...dropping down... Overhead...underground... It's instilled...to wanna live Bombs...dropping down... Please forgive our hometown... In our insignificance Turn the juke box up he said... Dancing in irreverance... Play c3...let the song protest The plates begin to shift... Perfect lefts come rolling in... I was alone and far away...hey.. When I heard the band start playing... On the lip...late take off Bombs...dropping down... Overhead...underground... It's instilled...to wanna live Bombs...dropping down... Please forgive our hometown... In our insignificance Feel like resonance of distance... In the blood...the iron lies It's instilled...to wanna live Bombs...dropping down... Please forgive our hometown... In our insignificance Oh...in our insignificance OF THE GIRL Oh he deals 'em off...off the top...ties 'em off... Fills it up...with his past...gets carried away... Oh half his life...a hand me down...wasted away... Of he fills it up...with the love...of a girl. Oh...he left it alone...drilled the pain...with money to buy How he makes his getaway... How he makes his getaway... Oh...he chose a path...heavy the fall...quarter to four... Fills his night...with the thought...of a girl How he makes his getaway... How he makes his getaway... How he makes his getaway... Getaway.... GRIEVANCE Have a drink they're buying... Bottom of, bottle of denial... Big guy...big eye watchin' me... Have to wonder what it sees... Progress laced with ramifications... Freedom's been blurred... Pull the innocent from a crowd... Raise the stakes then bring 'em down... If they fail to obey... If they fail to obey... For every tool they lend us... A loss of independence I pledge my grievance to the flag... Cause you don't give blood...then take it back again... We're all deserving something more. Progress...taste it...invest it all Champagne breakfast for everyone... Break the innocent when they're proud... Raise the stakes...then bring 'em down... If they fail to obey... If they fail to obey... Pledge our grievance to the flag... Come on, don't give blood then take it back again... We're all deserving something more, more I wanna breathe...part of the scene... I wanna taste...everyone I see... I wanna ride, when I'm up high... I wanna run to the sea.... I just want life to be... I just wanna be... I will feel alive...as long as I am free RIVAL All my rivals will see what I have in store...my gun... I've been har boring fleets in this resevoir...red sun... And this nations about to explode... Your disciples are riddled with metaphors…well hung... Better pony up and bring both your barrelfulls...not one... As we release this unspeakable toll... How's our mother to damn these contributors...with mud?... How will the man who made chemicals difficult...shed blood? How's our father supposed to be told? SLEIGHT OF HAND Routine was the theme Wake up...wash and pour himself in uniform Something he hadn't imagined being... As the merging traffic passed... He found himself starin'...down...at his own...hands Not remembering the change...not recalling the plan... Was it? He was okay...but wondering...about wandering... Was it age...by consequence Or was he moved by sleight of hand Mondays were made to fall... Lost on a road he knew by heart... It was like a book he read in his sleep...endlessly... Sometimes he hid in his radio...watchin' others pull into their homes While he was driftin’... On a line...of his own...off the line...on the side...bye the by As dirt turned to sand... As if moved by sleight of hand... When he reached the shore of his...clip on world... He resurfaced to the morn... Organized his few things...his coat and keys... Any new realizations would have to wait... Till he had more time...more time Time to dream...to himself He waves goodbye...to himself I'll see you on the other side... Another man...moved by sleight of hand SOON FORGET Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette... Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic... What's missing?...he's living a day he'll soon forget. That's one more time around...the sun is going down... The moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting...putting people down... He's pissing...he's living...a day he'll soon forget. Counts his money every morning... The only thing that keeps him horny... Locked in a giant house...that's alarming The townsfolk...they all laugh Sorry is the fool who trades his love for a hi-rise rent... Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get... And it's fitting...he's barely living...a day he'll soon forget. That's one more time around...and there is not a sound... He's lying dead, clutching Benjamins...never put the money down... He's stiffening...we're all whistling... A man we'll soon forget. PARTING WAYS Behind her eyes there's curtains... And they've been closed to hide the flames...remains She knows...their futures burning... But she can smile just the same...same And though her mood fine today... There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways... Standing like a statue... A chin of stone...a heart of clay...hey... And though he's too big a man to say... There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways... Drifting away...Drifting away...Drifting away... Drifting away...Drifting away...Drifting away...
