Noro Lyrics
little light, lead us through the night
and if we die, burn down the forest chariots, carry us distances we don't care to walk I'm on my way out why doesn't anyone I know sleep? are they all just scared of their dreams? when they lay their heads down at night what are they haunted by? why won't anyone just close their eyes? could it hurt them to rest for a while? do they need their friends to be a lover? or a lover to be a friend? because I'm on my way out well, I've tried God knows that I've tried I'm on my way out one time, two times three times again sitting duck, running out of luck our car's stuck on the train crossing how am I ever gonna know peace? how will I ever see your light through the trees? I want to burn down everything we've begun I want to kill and eat my young because I'm on my way out well, I've tried God knows that I've tried I'm on my way out one time, two time three time again I'm on my way out

jesse found tape of an old church service at a garage sale
08-30-2009
It's called "On Life’s Highway" [written by Bertrand Brown]. I collect weird things -- I bought some tapes from an estate sale, and there were some old sermons from a Baptist minister in Texas back in the '60s, and that hymn was on it, and it was a hymn that I remembered from when I was younger going to church. We've always been interested in putting strange things on the albums. We don't do it as much as we would like. I think if we had our way we'd just make a half-hour mix of sound bites and things like that.

could it hurt them to rest for a while?
do they need their friends to be loved?
or a lover to be a friend?"
I'm pretty sure the third line is "do they need their friends to be alive?"
I've been listening to the album since it leaked yesterday, no sleep, just listening over and over and that's what I heard.
and to the question above I'm not entirely sure but I know Jesse had been mentioning he collects a bunch of random old tapes and the intro and outro are definitely from one of those because he said some of that stuff would be on the record.

I hear:
"it's getting dark, running out of luck
and I got stuck on the train crossing
how am I ever gonna know peace?
how will I ever see the light through the trees?"

I'm not being defensive.
Go to www.absolutepunk.net.
The admin there has a copy of the lyric sheet. He said he thinks the song says both, but the lyric sheet says "hell."

And if we die, burn down the forest.
Chariots carry us
Distances we don't care to walk.
I'm on my way to Hell.
Why doesn't anyone I know sleep?
Are they all just scared of their dreams?
When they lay their heads down at night,
What are they haunted by?
Why won't anyone just close their eyes?
Could it hurt them to rest for a while?
Do they need their friend to be a lover?
Or a lover to be a friend?
Because I'm on my way to Hell.
Well, I've tried. God knows that I've tried.
Sitting duck, running out of luck.
Our car's stuck on the train crossing.
How am I ever going to know peace?
How will I ever see the light through the trees?
I want to burn down everything we've begun.
I want to kill and eat my young.
I'm on my way to Hell.

"I'm on my way to Hell" makes more sense thematically, and two hard syllables at the end there.
Pedantic, but there aren't s's on time and it's just try.
Noro
Little light, lead us through the night,
and if we die, burn down the forest.
Chariots, carry us,
distances we don't care to walk.
I'm on my way to Hell
Why doesn't anyone I know sleep?
Are they all just scared of their dreams?
When they lay their heads down at night
what are they haunted by?
Why won't anyone just close their eyes?
Could it hurt them to rest for a while?
Do they need their friends to be a lover?
or a lover to be a friend?
Because
I'm on my way to Hell.
Well, I try,
God knows that I try.
I'm on my way to Hell.
One time, Two time,
Three time, again.
Sitting duck, running out of luck
and our car's stuck on the train crossing.
How am I ever gonna know peace?
how will I ever see the light through the trees?
I want to burn down everything we've begun,
I want to kill and eat my young.
Because
I'm on my way to Hell.
Well, I try,
God knows that I try.
I'm on my way to Hell.
One time, Two time,
Three time, again.
I'm on my way to Hell.
Well, I try,
God knows that I try.
I'm on my way to Hell.
One time, Two time,
Three time, again.
I'm on my way to Hell.
I'm on my way to Hell.
I'm on my way to Hell.
I'm on my way to Hell.
"All times cloudy is the rain,
but today then back comes me
Out my wandering heart is lord
On some [by- something] far from thee
Father when my footsteps stray,
guide me back into the way.
[?!?!]
On life's way, God's with me."
