The only available lyrics are already published in the albums. For more detailed lyrics, headphones are recommended.

mumble bullshit mumble do this to me

the waiting drove me mad
youre finally here and im a mess
i take your entrance back
cant let your roam around my head

i dont wanna take what you can give
i would rather starve than eat your bread
i would rather run but i cant walk
then again who's felt this way before

all of the sermon text
adds up to what might not be best
ah-push me and i will resist
this behaviors not unique

i dont wanna hear from those in know
they can buy but cant put on my hose
i would lie and wait for them to walk
never having known of me before
i dont wanna be held in your debt
ill pay it off in blood let i be wed
im already cut up and half spread
left inside a hole like i began

left inside of meee
strained oohs
everything has chains
abosolutely nothings changed
thins aint bad
this aint picture
spill my tincture

i dont wanna need what you can give
i would rather starve than eat your breast
all the things that others want from me
cant buy what i want because its free
cant buy what i want because its free
cant be what you want because im

oh its sposed to be just fun
oh to live and die let it be done
i figure ill be damned
all alone like i began

mumble.. fade

that was enjoyable

I could take the sun I could call the couple anyone
I won't tell the comfort in the world
I can't take it off
I won't say, "Enough, it's not my fault"
I won't care, there's something in the wind

Take me as I am
I don't need this
I die just to live Immortality...

I could paint the moon
I could reflect light into a room
If I could, the fortune (all be there)
I could paint it all
I won't say, "Enough, it's not my fault"
I won't call the altar in the air

Take me as is
I don't need this
I die just to live Immortality...

I can't take a walk
I won't fight this world
I won't save it all
It is not my fault

Take me as is
I don't need this
I die just to live
I won't stay long
I'll be long gone
I die just to live...

I'm sure it is. I just easily pulled those off the comments from the Youtube video.

And Eddie sings this at the end of Immortality, which I guess is a Neil Young shoutout

Hey hey, this is my last day
My my, you know how hard I try

Hey hey, I wouldn’t love to stay
My my, wish I could get high

Like "Yellow Ledbetter," a good amount of these lyrics aren't "lyrics." These songs are works in progress. "Corduroy" is farther along than "Immortality," but he's got the melody worked out. I think "Tremor Christ" from the Orpheum is the same deal.

Well, they're still lyrics.

He's just singing whatever sounds or words come to mind, in the moment. There's no real point to transcribing his nonsensical ramblings, is there?

maybe those can tell us a lot more about him than the actual lyrics?

Me too.

And while we're at it i think ' i won't save it all' is 'i won't say at all'.

This might be a bit off topic, but fuck, I gotta say, the Orpheum version of Immortality IMO is way better than the album version. Lyrically, musically, everything.
