1
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
2
Dizzy with eternity
3
Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea
4
Call it home for you and me
5
A peaceful place or so it looks from space
6
A closer look reveals the human race
7
Full of hope, full of grace is the human face
8
But afraid, we may lay our home to waste
9
There's a fear down here we can't forget, hasn't got a name just yet
10
Always awake, always around, singing ashes, ashes all fall down
11
Now watch as the ball revolves and the nightime calls
12
And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls
13
By and by again, the morning sun will rise
14
The darkness never goes from some men's eyes
15
Well you know it strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
16
Stalking turf, dividing up meat
17
Nightmare spook, piece of heat, it's you and me, you and me
18
Click, flashblade in ghetto night, Rudie's looking for a fight
19
Rat cat alley roll them bones, need that cash to feed that Jones
20
And the politicians throwing stones
21
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
22
Commissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice
23
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price?
24
Money green or proletarian gray
25
Selling guns instead of food today
26
So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
27
While the politicians throwing stones
28
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
29
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
30
If the spirit's sleeping then the flesh is ink, yea
31
History's page, it is thusly carved in stone
32
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own
33
On our own, on our own, on our own
34
If the game is lost then we're all the same
35
No one left to place or take the blame
36
We will leave this place an empty stone
37
For that shinning ball we can call our home
38
So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
39
And the politicians, throwing stones
40
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
41
Shipping powders back and forth
42
Singing, black goes South while white comes North
43
And the whole world full of petty wars
44
Singing I got mine and you got yours
45
And the current fashions set the pace
46
Lose your step, fall out of grace
47
And the radical he rant and rage
48
Singing someone got to turn the page
49
And the rich man in his summer home
50
Singing, just leave well enough alone
51
But his pants are down, his cover's blown
52
And the politicians are throwing stones
53
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
54
'Cause its all too clear we're on our own
55
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
56
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
57
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
58
It's dizzying, the possibilities
59
Ashes, ashes all fall down
60
Ashes, ashes all fall down
61
Ashes, ashes all fall down
62
Ashes, ashes all fall down
63
All fall down, all fall down
64
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
65
All fall down, all fall down
66
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
67
Ashes, ashes all fall down
68
Ashes, ashes all fall down
