    Okay, has anybody ever heard (note: heard, not heard of) the band Mule? With P.W. Long?

    On their "If I Don't Six" album, there's this song "Nowhere's Back": very very ominous and creepy for a Mule song, and unfortunately, I can't understand half of what is being sung.

    So! If you know the song, can you help me out with the lyrics? Here's what I've gotten so far:
    _________________________________________________

    She's a crowd in a cell [or, a crowded cell, or she's crying in a cell]
    She's a train's beam at the tunnel's end
    She's a night and the day is long

    And Jesus, I've tried everything I know
    To stop her lying and running round
    She did not see the shooter man (?)
    She promised me her first baby
    If I promised to go away

    She's a giant in the halls of hell
    A famine in the land of milk and honey
    She's a fabulous dancer
    ?

    I tried to crawl to the light
    I'm groping through the blackened fields
    A reason there I found (?)
    That's all she left for me to carry

    I grinned as she lied there and wondered if she was lying to me (?)
    A hope of running was around the night away (?)
    I came to tell her, I'm trying to tell you
    It seems you always hate the one you love
    She'll leave you on your knees again (?)
    And I've tried everything I know
    And I'll be happy to try again

    I tried to crawl to the light
    I'm groping through the blackened fields
    A reason there I found
    That's all she left for me to carry

    She's a crowd in a cell
    She's a night and the day is long
    A fabulous dancer
    ?

    dunno the song, but there're lots of TOOL songs I could use lyric-aid with.


By Rhiannon on Friday, April 30, 1999 - 11:38 pm:

    Yeah, I've given up hope of ever understanding the guy.

    But Tool, them I do I understand. Send on your questions for help.

    Monsieur Semillama --

    I know you've heard this song. Can you help?


By Semillama on Sunday, November 7, 1999 - 01:44 pm:

    i'll have to dig it out of the car. I'll take a listen to it later. Also, I will look for the lyrics on the web.


By Rhiannon on Sunday, November 7, 1999 - 02:20 pm:

    I've tried the web to no avail. But, oh, I would be so happy if you could try to figure out what he's saying.


By Rhiannon on Sunday, November 7, 1999 - 02:21 pm:
