See the dwarves and see the giants
Which one would you choose to be?
And if you can't get that together
Here's the answer, here's the key
You can freeze
Like a 30th century man
Like a 30th century man
Play it cool
Like a 30th century man
Like a 30th century man
I'll save my breath and take it with me
'Til a hundred years or so
Shame you won't be there to see me
Shaking hands with Charles DeGaulle
Play it cool and surrender up all you can
Be a 30th century man
You can freeze like a 30th century man
Be a 30th century man
High, high
Be a 30th century man
Play it cool
Be a 30th century man
You can freeze
Be a 30th century man
Play it cool
Be a 30th century man
See the dwarves and see the giants
Which one would you choose to be?
And if you can't get that together
Here's the answer, here's the key
You can freeze like a 30th century man
Be a 30th century man
You play it cool
And surrender off all you can
Be a 30th century man
You can freeze like a 30th century man
Be a 30th century man
You play it cool like a 30th century man
Be a 30th century man
You can freeze
And surrender off all you can
Of all the things a popular song can bring
A permanent picture of hope is what I hate the most
But now I'm happy when I'm told to discover
There is no other
Just this is beautiful
This is beautiful
It's oh so fanciful
Empty head feels good
Empty head feels good, yeah
Just don't be too surprised if this permanent paradise
Explodes some day in a permanent picture of pain
Empty head feels good
Empty head feels good
Empty head feels good, yeah
But a permanent picture of love...(no there's a thing)
You feel you sing for something real
I can tell you it's no deal so don't bother
Whenever the fools surround me
It's never enough to tell me
This is beautiful
This is beautiful
It's oh so fanciful
Empty head feels good
Empty head feels good
I think I have the best of me
Inside my head
No one else competes with me
I think I'm great
Got spirit tucked away inside
I know the ghosts of angel notes to kiss
Everything I sing is part of this
Got honey brushed across my lips
I know, I know, I know, I know
If you can call this luck
If you can call this luck
If you can miss this much
Eat my dust you insensitive fuck
Eat my dust you insensitive fuck
I don't know why
It feels so different
It takes some time
Before I'm on my knees
I could pretend
To understand it
I see no end
To this confusion
Say what you say
Do what you do
It's no problem
Say how you'll be
Disguise it from me
It's no problem
Oh yeah
I dont know why
It feels so special
It takes no time
Before I'm on my head ???
Oh yeah
Say what you say
Do what you do
It's no problem
Say how you'll be
Disguise it from me
It's no problem
Say how you feel
So you can reveal
All of your problems
Say what you say
Do what you do
It's no problem
So much
So low ???
So up
So down
Say what you say
Do what you do
It's no problem
Say how you'll be
Disguise it from me
It's no problem
Say what you say
Do what you do
Can't you accept this flower hasn't grown?
Kick away the petals and come home
This is all she said
But there's something in me cold within me
A beast inside me, bold inside me
I find myself in chains
I find myself in chains
But if I had some time
I'd use it this time
Fix myself I will, I hope it's this time
And if I could only see the subtle things you see
I'd think myself so brave in victory
Step inside everything, everything's all clear
Maybe I could find some inspiration here
Because it's time to fix this thing
It's time to fix this thing
But if I had some time
I hope it's this time
Escape to somewhere beautiful
Then maybe I could really see the subtle things you see
I'd consider it such rare and privileged company
No, no, no, no
But never again, never again, never again
I'm just too close to winning
And I find myself in chains
And it's time to fix this thing
'Cos if I had some time
I'd use it this time
Escape to something beautiful
'Cos underneath the steel and rust and oil and shit
There's chrome just shining chrome
A mirror finish of my own
If i touch you will you break,
If i touch you will you take,
My fears away, my fears away.
I can hardly wait for you.
I can't hear the moving mind.
I've been sitting here for years to find.
Steal myself a car, Ferrari or a Jaguar,
Drive it a crazy speed,
Straight over a cliff and into the sea.
I can hardly wait for you.
I can't hear the moving mind.
I've been sitting here for years, to find
I've been sitting here for years, to find such big thoughts.
I'll steal myself a car,
Ferrari or a Jaguar,
Drive it at a crazy speed,
Straight over the cliff and into the sea.
Maybe i'll be happy, Maybe i'll be happy,
If that was guaranteed , I'd do it today,
Right now, just this once.
Hey you, you with the broken nose
You've been a fighter for too long
Hey you stuck in the same old clothes
You've been in Pumas for too long
And all our friends are gone
And all our friend are gone
Gone somewhere they don't know where to
Hey you, you with the serpent smile
You've been a creature for too long
Hey you stuck in that same old style
You've been in fashion for too long
And all our friends are gone
And all our friend are gone
Gone somewhere they don't know where to
Hey you, you with the seasoned lips
They've been in service for too long
Hey you
You with the same old line in bullshit
You've been in business for too long
And all our friends are gone
And all our friend are gone
Gone somewhere they don't know
Gone somewhere they don't know where to
Hey you, you with the broken chain
No one gives a crap for you
Hey you
You with your public displays of pain
You've been painful for too long
And all our friends are gone
And all our friend are gone
Gone somewhere they don't know
Gone somewhere they don't know where to
You're wasting time
Time to shake and throw down
But I can't fight
You are the one to say goodbye
And when you shout my mouth is dry
Only when you try
Is your shallow water running high
You know what's inside
So glad to see
You take my hand between your knees
And once inside
I'll only take the things that shine
You always said those things were mine
You only said goodbye
When your shallow water got too high
You know what's inside
Only when you try
Because your shallow water growing high
You know what's inside
You know what's inside
Follow the lifeline I labelled so neat
Through every lifetime from scars that run deep
Follow the love tracks unrivalled unmatched
Book me the right train I'd love to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of release
My brain, my arms, my chain, my charms
My aims, my itch, my foes, I've licked
My bed of flame my name
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again
Follow the pipeline I layed it so deep
It flows out my window it flows out to sea
It curls round the mountain it takes up the slack
Book me the right plane I long to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of relief
My lies, my lust, my truth, my trust
My league, my school, my game, my rules,
My bed I've made, my grave
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again
My eyes, my hips, my face, my lips
Are failing me
Combined with mixed up living
My victory is escaping me
La La La
Fuel of fathers' sweat
Sweet like baby's breath
Strong like superman
Stinking up the streets I am
The feeling does me in
But here I go again
I love gasoline
I love gasoline
Smooth like summer silk
Sweet like mother's milk
Warm like tenderness
Perfume sprayed around my neck
I know it makes no sense
But here I go again
I love gasoline
I love gasoline
Here comes the rush again
Let me down easy
Warm like summer breeze
Flowing round your city
Come on down with me
I love gasoline
For years I avoided caffeine
For years I was clean
I was calm and complete
Then the world fell down round my ears
Had a change in my state
Bug eyed and awake
I was grinding my teeth in my habitat
I couldn't stand still I was running back
But it was gone
Smack smack smacking my hands
Flap flapping my hands
Lick licking my wounds
Will it help me
Rip rip ripping my skin
Clip clipping my wings
Pick picking my bones
Will it help me
Hip hip hip to the beat
I can't find my own feet
Can't see where I stand
Ballad of a running man
Jam Jam marathon man
For years I was wrapped up in blue
On sunny afternoons
Sunbathed but unmoved
On the ground I found me a stooge
He was clear out of school
With a theory to prove
He said he understood so I told him
It was just like I'd read in a magazine
Said I thought it was weird to be stumbling
And that it felt like a race I was running in
That's already run
Smack smack smacking my hands
Flap flapping my hands
Lick licking my wounds
Will it help me
Rip rip ripping my skin
Clip clipping my wings
Pick picking my bones
Will it help me
Hip hip hip to the beat
I can't find my own feet
Can't see where I stand
Ballad of a running man
I am a brute, but I abstain
I am foolish I am vain
Yeah I'm a fan
I am the brother of a famous man
I am gorgeous I am right
I have left this planet but I'll be back
I am delicious I am crap
I am all of that
I am all of that
I am smooth but I am crusted
I am speechless I can be trusted
I'm baby blue I am the nursery attached to you
I've been happy I've been sad
I graced this planet experienced that
I've been set-up I've been set back
I've been all of that
I've been all of that
I'm enormous I am slight
I have left this planet but I'll be back
I am religious I am fat
I am all of that
I am all of that
I am all of that
And soon the time will come
When everybody's somebody
Shout just to make it clear
So loud so as you don't hear
That I made no sound
The second time around
If all is turned around
So smooth just to show you care
You built a new mountain there
That I can tumble down
The very first time around
The very first time around
The very first time around
I let you see how high life could be
But you dropped me down
The very first time around
The very first time around
The very first time around
Safe on the shore I've been sleeping
Faced by the thoughts I've been keeping
To break down the door of my life
I need more texture
You need to give me more texture, texture, texture
You need to give me more texture
So deep inside I've been dreaming
In a space too confined, too concealing
It's a race to remind you of days I can't find
You need to give me more texture, texture, texture
You need to give me more
To break down the door of my life
I need more texture
You need to give me more
You need to give me more
Texture, texture, texture
I'm only waiting, 'cause she won't care
Shivers, shakes, and shallow
Hide the taste that's always there
I can say she makes no sense
My dreams are not drawn on much
'Cause she's my friend
'Cause she's my friend
'Cause she's my friend - oh
'Cause she's my friend - oh
'Cause she's my friend - oh
'Cause she's my friend
I found you in a garden in my sleep
But I'm walking over gravel
Forming blisters on my feet
You give me all the reasons that make no sense
I only choose to be here
'Cause she's my friend
'Cause she's my friend
'Cause she's my friend - oh
'Cause she's my friend - oh
'Cause she's my friend - oh
'Cause she's my friend
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
'Cause she's my friend - oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause she's my friend - oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause she's my friend - oh, oh, oh, oh
Far from the place where I start
Is a message that you bring
Dashed aside and torn apart
Apologizing as I write
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes...
The shame of never meaning what I say
Of looking 'round for something new
To chase the eagerness away
I use the energy to stay
Slowly falling as I fade
Indigo is blue
Indigo is blue
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
So make it shine
No need to fade
I'll make it hard on you
I'll make it glow
No need to show you this time
I'll make it easy
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
A flower's fading far too soon
So think of a time
It's something to cling to
Imagine a life
That never escapes you
Conceal it behind
The colour and perfume
A flower to hide
A violet surprise
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
A flower's fading far too soon
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
Sugar in the heart is burning
Sweet on lips and eyes are glowing
All the things you take are spinning 'round
Such a waste but you can't taste
What's coming down
All the time you save
You can turn this movie around
Needle stings and blisters breaking
Swinging moods and conscious fading
All the things you dream while spinning 'round
Always it seems to bring you, bring you down
All the time you save
You can turn this movie around
You can turn this movie around
Ferment
Ferment
Ferment
Ferment
Judy's always fading sugar voices when the sweetness is fermented
Ferment
Fermenting, fermenting, fermenting, oh
Light, your fading light
Ferment your life
Your fading light
Ferment your life

Emotions, what are you doin'?
Oh, don't you know, don't you know you'll be my ruin?
You've got me crying, crying again
When will you let this heartache end?
Emotions, you get me upset
Why make me remember what I wanna forget?
I've been lonely, lonely too long
Emotions, please leave me alone
Your worry my days, yes, you torture my nights
Never a dream, no, those dreams never turn out right
Emotions, aww, give me a break
Let me forget that I made a mistake
Oh, can't you see what you're doin' to me?
Emotions, please set me free
Your worry my days, oh, you torture my nights
Never a dream, no, those dreams never turn out right
Emotions, aww, give me a break
Oh, let me forget that I made a mistake
Oh, can't you see what you're doing to me?
Emotions,
You're saying far too much
Your thoughts that twist and touch
You're killing time in the dark
That's coming down
Ah that's coming down
Ah...
You are young and full of heart
You are real but you are torn apart
It's taking all my time
How many days to find
Just staring up at the sun
That's coming down
Ah that's coming down
Ah...
You are young and full of heart
You are light and you are dark
You are real but torn apart
You are losing
You are young and full of heart
You are light and you are dark
Looks like you but looks you may ???
You are real but you are torn apart
Flying, show me how it feels
As dreams grow sinking clouds that must be real
Losing a touch of what is mine
It's proving tough as steel and dull as life
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba
Gliding cuts you down and shakes your ground
I'm reeling from the height of silent sound
You know it always takes inside
As dreams go up the earth is lost in flight
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba
Come down, come down, come down...
Come down, come down, come down...
Ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
I've been inside this fruit when juices flow
But the taste is just a memory you hold
There is no real decay
No feeling of the skin
No juice
Strange fruit, strange fruit, strange fruit
It never lets that sun out
Strange fruit
This is sweet the soul the flesh I wish
It's the liquid that I miss
There is no real decay
The flesh is barely bruised
It's no use
Strange fruit, strange fruit
Sonic juice inside my head
This fever is so concentrated
Oh no what a shame...
Climb the tree and shake this passion down
But this fruit won't even kiss the ground
There is no real decay
The flesh is barely grazed
There's no way
There's a shark shaped fin
In the water of my dreams
An alligator screams from the depths there
I'd swim with you there
I'd swim with you there, yeah yeah
In the house that I use
There's a psycho on the loose
He's playing with the fuse of a bomb there
I could live with you there
I could live with you there
Bye bye long day
I need to sleep so much
You shine on me
Too much is not enough
On the sheets and pillow case
In my bed for heaven's sake
The devil's dancing until late in my head there
But I could sleep with you there
I could sleep with you there
Always
Always
Bye bye long day I need to sleep so much
Nineteen hours straight
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Undivide your love
Deeper and deeper I go
Your hearts drowning I know
All my intentions are clear
I need to rescue my dear
So I dive, don't dispair
Coming down, with a mouth full of air
To share
To swim with the shell fish
I wish
Suck with the sea queen
I wish
Mussels and coral are here
I need to rescue my dear
So I dive, don't dispair
In the clear, just to see that I care
Coming down, with a mouth full of air
To share
No more noise this year
I'll wear my highest heels
What am I to do?
I'm a bad decision maker
Is it still confused
I know the truth
Beneath this tree
It blooms
I'm a hopeless case
It multiplies
I can I count your tears
This time
I know
This time
Don't criticize
All I have to do
Is get inside of you
I'll wear my highest heels
And I know how it feels
Is it still confused
I know the truth
Beneath this tree
It blooms
I'm a hopeless case
It multiplies
Can I count your tears?
This time
Don't criticize
Don't don't don't criticize
Don't don't don't don't criticize
I know
This time
Don't criticize
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
With you up there on the screen
I'd be your future boy
My big eyed bird in the movies
I'd be your future boy
'Cause if that is what you need
A cinematic boy like me
Who'll come along and set you free
Don't fear superboy is here
And it feels good to me
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
As the wisdom runs
A boy should know his limitations
But I've talked myself through less
Can I be your future pest
'Cause if that is what you need
A sycophantic boy like me
Who'll tell you things
You really don't need
Oh joy I'm your boy
And it feels good to me
Don't fear superboy is here
Right now (I feel like/we lack) something far gone ???
Stripped down
Seems like everything I did was wrong
Well, maybe
Delicately laid to rest
In the house of mummy's bless ???
Follow me inside
Delicately free of mind
A vacuum all the time
But it leaves me blind
Find out
Peel away the layers of my skin
Baby
But be sure
Brace yourself for what lies within
Baby
Delicately laid to rest
In the house of mummy's bless ???
Follow me inside
Delicately free of mind
A vacuum all the time
But it leaves me blind
Stripped down
Delicately laid to rest
In the house of mummy's bless ???
Follow me inside
Delicately free of mind
A vacuum all the time
What you do to me
Leave puddles at my feet
Won't it make me ill
The way you make me feel
Can't remember when
My senses were so bent
Tell me your impressed
With my obsessiveness
What am I supposed to do
Bubbles in my
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you, you
Won't you let me kiss
You're starving me of this
You really have the flair
To suffocate me there
For my survival I conclude
When I need air it's all I use
My Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you
I lose the energy to think
I don't eat food and all I think
Is Fizzy love for you
My fizzy
There is an attitude I'm guilty of
Kept deeper, deeper, deeper
I only let it out when people piss me off
It's funny funny funny
I can be, I can be what you want me to be
I can be, I can be what you want me to be
I can be, I can be what you want me to be
My My My exhibition
I'm such a nice boy, such a charming man
But I'm going crazy with these snakes and stuff
I charm the pants of anyone I can
But this time I'm gonna...
My exhibition
A real condition
Yoga position
My exhibition
You're pissing me off, your pissing me off
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper
I can be, I can be what you want me to be
It's my exhibition
Stop you're pissing me off
Stop you're pissing me off
it makes us rely on three notes
that could make you weep, sad notes
that blister in your heart
I hope
and don't I know
don't I realize what's changing in our brains
and how it soothes
because its better than the truth
the truth is frayed at the edge and bruised
no use anymore
we could be crawling this time
we should be smiling this time
I see no spooks in you
thunderbird, can you see yourself, big bird
thunderbird, just speak it more discreetly
you're making it sound absurd
now our dreams
they flower in our hearts it seems
and don't I know
don't I realize what's changing in our brains
and how it soothes
because it's better than the truth
the truth is frayed at the edge and bruised
we could be crawling this time
we should be smiling this time
I see no spooks in you, you, you
thunderbird, can you see yourself, big bird
thunderbird, just speak it more discreetly
you're making it sound absurd
you're making it sound absurd
Tell yourself how I love
I could go, here's the door
Dust on bell won't ring
Destination calls
Drive to me and bring
Disappointment falls
And I will breathe to live bite the lip
To the one for who I feel
Here's some time we could kill
Tush to time don't go, we could use it all
Pawn the diamond ring
No space for you to cling
In these four walls I give it all
Chicken come over here deep inside
If I could have a wish this distance would be missed
Spinning like a wheel ooh
And the only thing to fear if the distance disappears
There'd be nothing left to say, hey
And I will breathe to live, bite the lip
The dust of life is mixed drifting like a mist
All the night is clear desperations near
I left my heart to roam I should go home
But we could call for more ooh
It's the distance I can't bear
There's no more hurt to fear
There's no more time to say, hey
In these four walls I give it all
So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Clod comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
She was my sunlight
She made my skin glow
She had these bow legs
I didn't want her to go
Blue skies were turning red
Learned my grade the hard way
She loved me or so she said
So I say
We all believe
What we want to believe in
We like to dream
What we want to believe in
This is the real thing
I stretched her dress tight
I cut her hair low
I made her speak right
I didn't want her to go
Grey skies beneath my feet
I slipped on truth the hard way
She preferred herself to me
So I say
We all believe
What we want to believe in
We like to dream
And we want to believe it
So we all believe
What we want to believe in
This is the real thing so dance
Every woman & man
I breed deep in my a beautiful thing
And I need energy for my beautiful thing
But pain for days has stayed with me
Expect to see some change in me
From happy to frown
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down
I know noisy noisy please this fool
So hear my plan and understand why I feel so cruel
Take this huge expanse of sound
And wrap it in these rags I found
And in true style
I'm on my way down
Oh this is worth the cost she said
This is worth every penny she said
And I think I can see through everything
This is how I feel This is how I feel This is how I feel
I'm on my way down
There's no doubt
Of the future in my head
It's all worked out
I'd hate it to go left unsaid
I'd follow you through time
'Til it's not worth living
And if somewhere there's a sign
That I just don't know
Then I just won't show you
I'll make it easy
All the time
Shake it out
There's no doubt
Of the purpose in my mind
It's all worked out
I'll make it easier to find
I'd follow you through time
'Til it's not worth living
And if somewhere there's a sign
That I just don't know
Then I just won't show you
I'll make it easy
All the time
Shake it out
It's no crime
From the middle
From the sides
Shake it out
Shake it out
Let's take a rocket ship to Mars
And anchor off the satellite for lonely hearts
Such a special place
Life turns you upside down
You know I'm not shaking
But you always bring me down
Before I'm hanging upside down
She knows I can't take it
I can't take it
Life turns you inside out
You know I'm not faking
But you always bring me around
Before I'm hanging upside down
She knows I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't take it
Tongue tied twisted, steal time to stay
Real song drifted keeps the thorn inside
Tongue tied twisted, twist around and creep
Tongue tied twisted keeps the leaf
Will it fall will it drop, I despise the time
Thought I love to feel the tongue twisted
So pleased to find
Beneath the grass this time, beneath the grass
Know this fear will last, know this fear will last
Know this fear will last, I know this fear will last
I know this fear
I know this fear with last
I know this reach beneath the gutter
The restless I know, I know, I know
Before the summer fell I already knew
She said I was more than dead
I already knew
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, I just can't take this anymore
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, a knife behind the eyes, a vicious size
Again
I miss my best friend, a growing fear
A lot to sacrifice
Or draw to an end
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, I just can't take this anymore
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, a knife behind the eyes, a vicious size
Again, again, again, again, again, again
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, I just can't take this anymore
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, a knife behind the eyes
A vicious, vicious, vicious pain
Pain, here it comes
Pain, here it comes
Bury myself on a bed of nails
Killing myself cause it never fails
With you
I've gotta get all of you
I've gotta get all of you
I only want all of you
I've gotta get all of you
Always goad ???
You never try
I wish you would
I don't know why
Understand the need to rush
Am I wanting far too much
Killing myself on a foolish dream
Killing myself cause I want to be with you
I've gotta get all of you
I've gotta get all of you
I only want all of you
I've gotta get all of you
I've gotta get all of you
I've gotta get all of you
I only want all of you
You're making me doubt myself
This feeling I know so well
Visions of naked greed
Are visions I just don't need
Far deep, phantom seeking, I can see
The nude that broke my heart
The nude that broke my heart
Far from living, I can see
The nude that broke my heart
The nude that broke my heart
The texture of moistened skin
All over this skin I've been
Skin that's been angel stretched
No muscle or excess flesh
Far deep, phantom seeking, I can see
The nude that broke my heart
The nude that broke my heart
Far from living, I can see
The nude that broke my heart
The nude that broke my heart
You're making me doubt myself
This feeling I know so well
Feeling of naked lust
This feeling I love so much
Far deep, phantom seeking oh you are
The nude that broke my heart
The nude that broke my heart
Phantom breathing oh you are
The nude that broke my heart
The nude that broke my heart
Upon the wall, the life is drawn
The love is lost, the truth will fall
The sinking ship, the sinking soul
The final fear
as originally done by Mission of
Burma (written by C. Conley)
Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dreams
But all of that is changed now
Gets twisted inside out
The truth is not that comfortable, no
And Mother taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
And Father taught us boundaries
In honor we must go
The vanity will colour us, yeah
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
That feeling passes by this way
A friend of mine once told me
His one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And in it sign his name
The silence whispers me and you in chains ???
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
That feeling passes by this way
Yeah
And now the sky is empty
But that is nothing new
The dead eyes look upon us
And they tell me we're nothing but things ???
That's when I reach for my revolver (but things)
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver
Begin the day
With a friendly voice
A companion, unobtrusive
Plays that song thats so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood
Off on your way
Hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact
In your happy solitude
Invisible airwaves
Crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle
With the energy
Emotional feedback
On a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price --
Almost free...
All this machinery
Making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question
Of your honesty
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity
For the words of the profits
Are written on the studio wall,
Concert hall ---
Echoes with the sounds...
You've been so alone
You haven't found me at all
And I find it so hard
I find it so dark
It's time
It's time
It's what you say now
It's what you say now
It's what you say now
I've been so cold
I'd hear you're hurting alone ???
But it's getting so long
Where have you gone
It's time
It's time
It's what you say now
It's what you say now
It's what you say now
It's what you say now
Recent years were unsung
I light 'em up
Burning my horoscope
Recent fears I've undone
I give 'em up
Sick of my bogus ghost
Rising up it reached my highest line
C'mon Daisy don't drown me this time
I'm living in fits can't get myself ripped
Don't make me no criminal
I'm easily moved, it don't leave me no room
Don't make me no criminal
Rising up it reached my lowest line
I had bad ideas and ballast on my mind
Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Burning up the future
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
Recent fears about love
I string 'em up
These are my robust ropes
There'll be no more tears I'm unplugged
Lets live it up
Easy come easy go
Falling down gave me my highest line
So c'mon Daisy don't drown me this time
Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Burning up the future
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
Falling down I reached my highest line
I've got a good idea what breaks you makes you shine
Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Burning up the future
Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Turning on the boosters
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
All that I've come to feeling
Is a plastic wig ??? All that is grown
Is a plastic doll
Days so excited
All is just the things
All, all
Come down and see us win
Keepers caught in clear ??? (could this line be non-English?)
All those good times
Is it much too fast
Deep inside the train
So imagination takes you there
And it's something strange
And it's something strange
And it's something strange
And it's something strange
And it's something strange
And it's something strange
And it's something strange
And it's something strange
Mary sticks her tongue out, it's a sign
Two fingers is a magical state
And she promised me she'd show me why
I don't think I can wait
Hey, hey, hey, hey, show me Mary
How does it go? Show me Mary
Show me Mary
This flower is a living cusp, but how it kills
Infectious beyond all that's fair
And if I succumbed while standing here
Would you really care?
How does it work? Show me Mary
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, show me Mary
Show me Mary
Mary took a dive when it suited her most
No surprise you are sucked you construct for yourself
Or are you really someone else?
Breezing through somebody's hell
Purifying as you go
No, no, no, no, show me Mary
Where have you been? Show me Mary
Show me Mary
Show me Mary
Show me Mary
Show me Mary
Show me Mary
Old style in it seems they've brought you everything
There's an old style in of days when we were all thirteen
Yeah these pictures of love are a testament to the memories
When I think of you it's shocking
Oooh it's shocking
Oooh
Now it's "Oh my god this time he crushed some aspirin"
Dissolved in love he always made the best of it!
Yeah he spilled it all to The Sun months before punk had
Taken off
He had the pictures to prove
What a soaraway dude is guilty of
When I think of you it's shocking
Oooh it's shocking Oooh it's shocking
But won't you listen to me, why can't you believe
That you're breaking my heart
And these moments were part of our lives
And it destroys me to see you destroy them
Every time
When I think of you it's shocking
Oooh it's shocking Oooh it's shocking
So you wanna know what's my crime?
Love, I'm guilty every time
Love, this love, I'm guilty every time
Love, this love, I'm guilty every time
Love this love, Love this love
feeling only left him bleeding
for a whole number of reasons
he never discovered
but soon he would be riding his wave
coast to coast
all his life was rosy and pink
fluffy in the middle a constant grin
anyone would think so
but see that body shaking
see that body racing
feel that body baking from inside
the boy's a satellite
he won't be home tonight
and we crown ourselves again
there's been no change since you and I were young
when we burned ourselves again
the spaceship days when you and I were young
when you and I were young, young
coast to coast
the scene was for gene
all his life was mostly blue
and far more dangerous than he ever knew
but I didn't see the need to say so
see that body shaking
see that body racing
same old painful aching bones inside
the boy's a satellite
he won't be home tonight
and we crown ourselves again
there's been no change since you and I were young
when we burned ourselves again
the spaceship days when you and I were young
when you and I were young
when you and I were young
he says he won't bore us anymore
it's the final straw a reason to rejoice
the boy's a satellite
he won't be home tonight, tonight
and we crown ourselves again
there's been no change since you and I were young
when we burned ourselves again
in spaceship days when you and I were young
(Oh safe towards yourself)
(She wants you with all your heart)
Between me always spinning ride
I slowly roll and seem to fly
The taste of salt and spinning ice
The taste of you it brings me higher
In this your shine
It's always time
It's always time
Oh we're only salt
Oh we're only salt
Oh we're only salt
It always felt like suicide
It always takes my life aside
To say I might, to say I will
The hardest part the heart is real
We miss your shine
It's only time
It's only time
It's only salt
It's only seas
It's only time
It's only time
I want to see myself in time
We miss your shine
It's only time
You're not real you're reeling
You're not seen you're steeling
You're not strong you're feeling
You're not sweet you're saccharine
Shiny silver Jubilee
When I destroy what I receive
It's good to see you smiling
And the lack of sympathy
It's good to know the reason
The reasons
I destroy myself
I know I know I know
I deny myself
I know I know I know
I destroy myself
I know I know I know
I want to receive
What's the reason, what's the use
When I don't want to look like you
It's good to sea you smiling
And the lack of sympathy
It's one of many reasons
Reasons
I destroy myself
I know I know I know
I deny myself
I know I know I know
I destroy myself
I know I know I know
Easy to believe
Grow my hair
Long and strange
I'll be a walking mountain range
It's good to see you smiling
And the lack of sympathy
'Cos now I know the reasons
The reasons
watch this picture blow
it makes you wonder
bless this broken low
it takes time to explain to you
that underneath your skin is mother dear
and if you paint your face again you'll disappear
how you gonna feel
if superman and sonic youth are fairy tales?
its time to face the truth
you'll throw your life away
as a woman dressed as baby jane
like a phantom of the american mother
and it's here again
and it's here like a phantom of the american mother
all that you're concealing are the things that are good
in you
and you do
and you're still abandoning the news
now there's a sinking look in your eyes
like black holes in the sky
and every time you moved I realized
everything in you was hypnotized
how you gonna feel
if superman and sonic youth are fairy tales?
its time to face the truth
you walked the hall of fame
a woman dressed as baby jane
like a phantom of the american mother
it's here again
and it's here again like a phantom of the american
mother
so here it is, you needed proof
there's no rock n' roll parade for you
its time to face the truth
like a phantom of the american mother
it's here again
You don't know anything at all
Excuses always seem to fool you
I cannot come in case you call
All I can really say
It drags me down, down
I'm hot and cold all over
I'm hot and cold all over
Your love weighs down my shoulders
I'm hot and cold all over
Your love is such a painful thing
She knows where she has to go
She knows that I don't want to burn her
A woman's feet begins to slow ???
I'll catch your every breath ???
It drags me down, down
I'm hot and cold all over
Your love is such a painful thing
I'm hot and cold all over
I'm hot and cold
I'm hot and cold all over
Keep it sweet
Florist of dreams
A tangerine
You're burning up
The forest of love
You're tangled up
You're a weird child
Like your dad was
You're a bee sting
You're a mad dog
You're a fierce soul
In your bad clothes
Need some good luck
In your mad love
Keep it cheap
The promise of peaks
You've never seen
You turned around
Fountains of change
You made your name
What a name
You're a weird child
Like your dad was
Can you be still
You're a mad dog
You're a fierce soul
In your bad clothes
Need some good luck
In your mad love
It's just your magic is more than electric
It spins inside
Take me home
I'm staying up the road
I'll let you know
It isn't you
I need a clear space
To think it through
I'm a weird child
Like you're dad was
I'm a bad star
You're a mad dog
You're a queen Jane
It's a hard slog
I'm a pale saint
In your mad love
You're the May Queen
I'm the magpie
We're the twin sisters
sleep don’t weep
throw your arms together
slide don’t lie
we always stick together
start the day
in a cold December way
feel what’s new
it’s December through and through
ma solituda sinks confusion
ma solituda sinks confusion
ma solituda sinks confusion
I fell down
sleep don’t weep
throw your arms together
slide don’t lie
we always stick together
start the day
in a cold December way
end this day
in a stream of celebration
ma solituda sinks confusion
ma solituda sinks confusion
I fell down
I fell down
December never ends, December
ma solituda sinks confusion
ma solituda sinks confusion
ma solituda sinks confusion
Don't feel sad don't feel blue
It's supposed to be
All I feel comes back off you
And I'm so happy
'Cos I feel I'm at 45 degrees
That's when love tips up for me
And keep it understood the elevations good
And love tips up for me
Please let me kiss your peculiar lips
For some sympathy
Though I've always maintained
That you've always been stranger than me
Is that the way it's meant to be?
I'm at 45 degrees
And that's when love tips up for me
So keep it understood the elevations good
And love tips up for me
Yeah don't it make you feel
Yeah don't it make you feel
Yeah don't it make you feel
High
'Cos I feel I'm at 45 degrees
That's when love tips up for me
When all of this is done it's dizzy I've become
And love tips up for me
Drove to my lover, tried to discover
If she was my friend right to the end
Don't know what caused her to pretend
So I wrote a long letter on one inch of paper
Sprinkled with tears and surrounded by love
I'm gonna lick the page now with my tongue
Little muscle, little muscle
Wriggle wriggle lips of lizards
Like a lizard little muscle wriggling
My aching tongue
My aching tongue
My aching tongue
Little muscle, little muscle
Little muscle, little muscle
Oh boy, Oh boy you're so much trouble
A wedge a wedge a wedge a wedge
Between my lips
Little muscle, little muscle
Wriggle wriggle lips of lizards
Like a lizard what have you done?
My aching tongue
My aching tongue my aching tongue
Can't even think about tomorrow
I feel so bad that I can't swallow
Aah-oh
Aah-oh
Don't even think I might forgive it
You let me down again
You let me down again
You let me down again
You let me down again
I can't imagine pain much deeper
Hot pleasure dripping from my fingers
Aah-oh
Aah-oh
You let me down again
You let me down again
You let me down again
You let me down again
You let me down again
You let me down again
Jesus, what a state to be in
Something's wrong, I don't know what I'm fearing
Scream inside towards the christening
Wrap your arms, protection I've been missing
But something close, something near
Don't know what I really fear
Somtimes cold, sometimes warm
Don't know why this need must end
Jesus, what a grip to be in
Something's wrong, the gruesome pain I'm feeling
Step inside the dreams, I follow
Wrap my arms, protection seems so hollow
Nothing's good, nothing's clear
Don't know what I really fear
I can move if I try
It goes deeper every time
La la lala la
La la lala la la
La la lala la
La la lala la la
La la lala la
La la lala la la
La la lala la (Nothing's good, nothing's clear)
La la lala la la (Don't know what I really fear)
La la lala la (I can move if I try)
La la lala la la (It goes deeper everytime)
La la lala la (Nothing's good, nothing's clear)
La la lala la la (Don't know what I really fear)
La la lala la (I can move if I try)
La la lala la la (It goes deeper everytime)
La la lala la (Nothing's good, nothing's clear)
La la lala la la (Don't know what I really fear)
La la lala la (I can move if I try)
La la lala la la (It goes deeper everytime)
La la lala la (Nothing's good, nothing's clear)
La la lala la la (Don't know what I really fear)
La la lala la (I can move if I try)
La la lala la la (It goes deeper everytime)
La la lala la (Nothing's good, nothing's clear)
I wanna fire a gun - show me
I wanna be unseen - show me
A deep disguise
A deep disguise
Five years of nothing good
Still screaming
Shout this secrets out
Deep, distant and pure
Deep, distant and pure
Kill rhythm
Deep feelings, I'm keeping, still dreaming
Now, my secrets out
Deep, distant and pure
I wanna walk on air - show me
It's gonna feel so rare - show me
Don't wanna look suspicious or undone
But I really think this rhythm is the only one
Five years of nothing good
And still screaming
Shout, get this secret out
Deep, distant and pure
Deep feelings, I'm keeping, cold comfort,
Shout - this secrets out
Deep, distant and pure
Deep, distant and pure
I wanna fire the gun - show me
I wanna be unseen - show me
A deep disguise
To kill this guy
Finalize the rhythm
The rhythm
Deep feelings I'm seeking, kill rhythm
Shout this secrets out
Deep, distant and pure
Call me romantic
But I'm frantically fucked up
I had a picture
Sentimentally flawed
Pretty hard to ignore
In my soul
You killed my soul
Soul
You killed my soul
Fatally wounded
And in peacetime Oh Oh
Leaving me rigid
That's what I find so
Hard hard hard to forgive
In my soul
You killed my soul
Pretty hard to forgive
You killed my soul
Soul
You killed my soul
Call me romantic
But I'm disappointed
Smacked up again behind the door
Begging please give me some more
A vein that's open for the day
Feel the pulse beneath the skin
And smiling as it all begins
Oh where have you been?
Judy's staring at the sun
Judy's staring at the sun
Judy's fantasy has come
So amplify this little one
She;s a volume freak
She hears as much as she can see
And what she sees she can't believe
It's just what Judy needs a moment of release
To give her peace peace peace
Judy's starting at the sun
Judy's day passed out of sight
Judy will be suffering tonight
She's suffering
She passed by and said good-bye to him
And in a rare and lucid state
She said my days are unoriginal
I wanna fade fade fade
She's suffering
Judy's staring at the sun
Judy's day passed out of sight
I feel of ice
It's broken underground
You say it twice
Eventually turn 'round
Always it's the same
You never understand me
Understand me
It's too confused
And this is never found
I'm just like you
Inject me when I'm down
Always it's the same
You never understand me
Always it's the same
Your intravenous life is easy ???
Is easy
Always it's the same
You never understand me
Always it's the same
Your intravenous vein is easy ???
Give me soap to shave around
Give me soap to shave around
With my guts exposed and slippy
Don't let them rush me
Don't hesitate
Don't let them take me away
There's nothing wrong
There's a malady in everyone
That keeps me away from the light
Shine, I give my first story
As I live the idle life
The leaping colour keeps your heart alive
A creeping glow beside you lava like
Shine you make your own glory
Come on take the idle life
A foreign guy I'm God's own prototype
A blushing bride who loves an idle life
Always above me
I light the day
Here rise the sun I embrace
There's nothing wrong
There's an apogee in everyone
That keeps you awake and alive
Shine, I gave my own story
Now I live the idle life
I know my foes may get me overnight
I'm safe and dry I'm God's own prototype
Shine, you crown your own glory
Come on take the idle life
Creeping colour fills your heart tonight
I always thought the way you talked was neat
And I dreamed that when you speak, you speak to me
But you're always out of reach
And I can't control my speech
And I'm scared that when we meet, I'll want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
You're the only soul inside that makes me shake
And the crazy senseless things you make me take
It would really make my day
If you'd only move away
'Cause I'm scared that if you stay, I'll want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
But you're always out of reach
And I can't control my speech
And I'm scared that when we meet
I'm fermenting, can't you see
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
Oh my blue-eyed boy
Built something to destroy
Is it getting high?
High
Oh you cheeky face
Shirt open to the waist
Now it's really getting cold
One more paranoia, I don't want another
Oh yes I confess, I don't want another
Yes you handsome man
Wicked boy, you sycophant
Are you ready to feel?
Deep stress, nothing new
Anxiety to use
Coming through the door
One more paranoia, I don't want another
Oh yes I confess, I don't want another
Ah... Ah...
Taken many drugs, popped so many pills
Gasp at my adventures, marvel at my thrills
One more paranoia, I don't want another
Oh yes I confess, I don't want another
One more poison thought, don't want another
Deep down this boy can feel too much
His flesh is weak he needs the satin crown
Got balls intact despite the fact
He'll curse his luck, his painful guts
Screwed up the path he followed
Always the pretty songs for us to sing along and bust up
This is the worst news I have heard alone and disturbed now
He's divine this time
When will you listen?
No fake what does it take when will you listen?
When will you learn?
You fuss, you fight I don't think it's right
That you pushed this man so deep down this hole
Come back
Come back
Always the pretty songs for us to sing along and get fucked up
This is the worst news I have heard alone and disturbed now
He's divine this time
When will you listen?
don't you think that it's about now
that you cooled your operations
and be generous somehow
don't you think the sarcasm's a little hard to stomach
the cynicism's boring
and how do you feel
how do you feel
how do you feel
here comes the fat controller with his boots off
getting colder
I've got no confidence of where he's been
we can make him sing, sing, sing
don't you wish the hounds would all agree
the animals are restless
and there's still no guarantee
feeding time is over now the zoo will soon be closing
and the temperature is freezing
how do you feel
how do you feel
here comes the fat controller with his boots off
getting colder
I've got no confidence of where he's been
we can make him sing, sing, sing
step outside your crazy tree
It's shaking canopy because you're alive
drag your bad news home
slip inside your soul
you know, you know you're alive
sooner than later all will be revealed
you'll be feeling okay
and how do you feel
oh, you know
how do you feel
how do you feel
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
I can climb a tree and push up through the leaves 'cos
Only when I try am I happier to see
My head's in some kind of space where boyhood used to be
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
But it's all a lie and I've never felt so sad
There's a streak of melancholy running down my back
And there's a great mistrust that borders round the man
I call it strange from a boy who never left his head
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
And everyone needs someone to live by
Everyone needs someone to live by
But it's all a lie, it's a lie to make you beg
For something more for something better than you've had
And I wish I knew
I wish I knew how to change
'Cos everyone needs someone to live by
Everyone needs someone
Everyone needs someone to live by
Everyone needs someone
Everyone needs someone
At the top of the stairs - you shove
And going down with a smile - you shove
I'll teach you to turn away
I'll teach you to turn away
As you fall in the crowd - you shove
Some attention to steal - you will
I'll teach you to turn away
I'll teach you to turn away
These are not the words you use
These are just the words to show
Oh she's letting go
But you're harder than I am
Oh she's letting go
Though you're harder tham I am
So here's a reason to pray - oh god
It's really something I'm proud of
St. Christopher would stay
I'll teach you to turn away
These are not the words you use
These are just the words to show
Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am
Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am
Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am
These are not the words you use
These are just the words to show
Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am
Oh she's letting go, but you're harder than I am
So high it's hurting
So wide the line is drawn
I've gotta learn to stop myself from falling
Down so low
So don't die it's over
I've got a life, I've got a place to grow
I've gotta learn to stop myself from falling
Down so low
There's still time to grow
You know you know
It's so hard to think clearly
Clear
So clear
I've gotta learn to stop myself from falling
Down so low
There's no time to build
It's no horror film
It's so hard to think clearly
Ah - ooh
There's still time to grow
You know, you know
It's so hard to think clearly
someone said it's easy
and as I sit here with my cup
staring at it as if I'm some crazy poet
when I'm not (I'm just a rock n' roll joe)
(with tales of woe) and tears and fears
it's only love that stops you from walking out the door
tears fly somewhere close to remorse
and sometimes its easy
to all my friends I love
I still don't find it easy
to all my friends I love
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
I've arrived
sally likes it sideways
sally, oh, sally don't ever change
and please don't think me scary
because I'm not, I'm just a rock n' roll joe
with tales of woe and tears and fears
its only love that stops you from walking out the door
and tears fly somewhere
close to remorse
but sometimes it's easy
to all my friends I love
now I find this easy
to all my friends I love, I love, I love
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
I finally arrived
and somewhere close to here
I've been fed all my life
Had stories read to hypnotise
I bang my head against the wall
Deep inside my head I've found
Some signs of life a mushroom cloud
I teach I read the greed, Oh this is the mouth I feed
With love! With love! So don't be accusing me
I've got God inside my head
Got God inside my head
Bless my soul, one false hope take some wisdom there
This punk's no dope and I feel the need to share
Jesus in my memory
Just don't remind me
Don't remind me
Don't remind me
That I teach I reach the greed, Oh this is the mouth I feed
And I refuse to believe, there's a cynical bone in me
I've got God inside my head
God God inside my head
God God inside my head, my head, my head
If I don't wanna die
If I don't wanna die
All I know it's not my turn to fear
This much I know I watch the girl stand still
This much I know a warning whispered in your ear
All I know it's not my turn to fear
There's a village far below
I'm passing by so come on, come out to play
Ask your mother, ask your mother
And tell her why the time I called
And the reason is I love you
It justifies it all
There's a secret I've been keeping
Pushed aside and left behind
It's back again like bad religion
Oh we love to lose our minds
Oh we love to lose our minds
(written by Grant Hart)
I'm curious to know exactly how you are
I keep my distance but my distance is too far
It reassures me just to know that you're okay
But I don't want you to go on leading me this way
And I don't want to know if you are lonely
Don't want to know if you are less than lonely
Don't want to know if you are lonely
Don't want to know, don't want to know
The day you left me left me feeling oh so hurt
Still I'm not sure about all the doubts we had
>From the beginning we both knew it wouldn't last
Decisions have been made, the die has been cast
And I don't want to know if you are lonely
Don't want to know if you are less than lonely
Don't want to know if you are lonely
Don't want to know, don't want to know
Don't want to know
Don't want to know
Don't want to know
Don't want to know
Don't want to know
Don't want to know, know
The phone is ringing and the clock says four AM
If it's your friends then I don't want to hear from them
Please leave a number and a message at the tone
Or you can just go on and leave me alone
And I don't want to know if you are lonely
Don't want to know if you are less than lonely
Don't want to know if you are lonely
Don't want to know, don't want to know
Don't want to know if you are lonely
Don't want to know if you are less than lonely
Don't want to know if you are lonely
I must have been crazy
I think I was being brave
I think I was Bruce Lee
I might have been Michael Caine
So give me something to cover my eyes
Weakness and distress what am I??
(Down down down) "A, B, C, D, you're in the belly of me"
You eat, you sleep, you breathe something delicious
You spill, you grip, you squeeze something delicious
You peel, you strip, you bleed something delicious
Delicious
I must be confused
Oh, it's so typical
Some fleshy temptation
And the sweetness only improves
So, give me something to cover my eyes
Weakness and distress, what am I ???
(Down down down) "tree to fruit, apple to seed, you are the A in adam and eve"
You eat, you sleep, you breathe something delicious
You spill, you grip, you squeeze something delicious
You peel, you strip, you bleed something delicious
Delicious, something delicious
Give all your hope to me..
"tree to fruit, apple to seed".
Make all your love to me
(SOLO)
You eat, you sleep, you breathe something delicious
You spill, you grip, you squeeze something delicious
You say you think you are something delicious
Something delicious, something delicious
You say you think you hold something delicious
So, save some of your hope for me
(piano outro)
"was it as good for you as it was for me?"
Don't look back
Please don't cry
I have this need
You must oblige me
There's no way out
So please don't try
I fill your mouth
I hear you cry
As you don't understand me anymore
I tie your wrists
Leave you bleeding, leave you raw
And fantasize, kid myself that you want more
[faint murmuring]
I'm sorry now
Didn't mean to hurt
I couldn't stop
It felt so good
[scream]
As you don't understand me anymore
I tie your wrists
Leave you bleeding, leave you raw
And fantasize, kid myself that you want more
If you don't understand me anymore
I tie your wrists
Leave you bleeding, leave you raw
Crème caramel, shy and shivering
Ring my bell so well
There's something moving slowly over us
Doesn't matter what you think or where you go
The reason why I'm losing my crust
A giddy contribution
You are merely dealing just enough
To keep the man alive
And sanitised
And keep a lid on his lust
And your wedding night thighs
Kept me alive
All through the good times
When the passion was ripe
Crème caramel, shy and shivering
Ring my bell so well
Smooth and sweet and really unctuous
And our love is mushed
And boy I'm feeling really bruised
I keep thinking my heart isn't true
But it keeps the man alive
I'll take an axe to that lie
When I'm moody and nude
And your wedding night thighs
Kept me alive
All through the good times
And your river blue eyes
Kept me alive
All through the good times
All through the good times
Lying on the floor
Where the colour doesn't show
Through the open door
Is a place where I won't go
Time will tie my hands
The willingness to try
Maybe it's inside
I know where it runs to
It takes up all my time
I know where I want to run
It crashes through my mind
It's enough to make you
Crawl on your knees and
Crawl on your knees and
Crawl on your knees and
Crawl over me,
Under me, over me
A piece of you that's mine
A piece of you that's mine
A piece of you that's mine
Love my superstitious games
Running circles round my brain when I'm left smiling
I love to steal this living steam
My head in someone's dream
I'm tired of sleeping
Call me crank, my idea
Crank, so super
Crank, my conscience clear
I build my canopy of steel
It fulfills my sense of real
A chrome protection
Call me crank, my idea
Crank, so super
Crank, my conscience clear
It's clear
In this small partition, like a prison
Explode time bomb
If you know where I come from
You call me crank, my idea
Crank, so super
Crank, my conscience clear
Please call me crank, it's what I need
Crank, my mind in seed
Crank, my dream complete
Another year
A time event
To take you there
Another time
Another time
Another year
I make it fail
Another time
Some time to kill
Come back to love
Return to love
So don't reap all
It's a small part
The friction starts
Come back again
Come back again
Come back again
Come back again
Come back again
Come back again
She said
Blow the light away
Come back again
Come back again
You never missed
I tell you this
Come back again
Come back again
You know how it feels
My name is clinging so
Be mine, be mine, be there
You can't, you can't, you are here always
Fade away there
To share today
You love to know
Come back again
Come back again
Step inside my head
See how much I see
Feel how much I feel
Just this once I will...
Show you something good
A planet with no roof
The leading edge of truth
It's waiting up there
Broken head spilling air what an atmosphere
I really feel such a thrill
Broken mind come alive, imagination shines
I really feel such a thrill ooh ooh
A post euphoric grin
An astronaut I've been
Astronomic feelings
A face like luna - ah
Broken head spilling air what an atmosphere
I really feel such a thrill
Broken mind come alive my invention shines
I really feel such a thrill ooh ooh
Come into the big sleep
Donnez moi la grande surprise
Keep keep the vision clear
Come close and bring it near, it's the mother, the mother...
Broken head spilling air what an atmosphere
I really feel such a thrill
Broken mind come alive my invention shines
I really feel such a thrill ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
I've never seen you when you're smiling
It really gets under my skin
You're never touched by another
I still can't guess what you're after
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
I think of you when you're sleeping
And all the secrets that you're keeping
You can't stay all day under the covers
'Cause under there you'll discover
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
I'm riding in your car, a hundred miles an hour- ooh
Grin from ear to ear, i'm feeling happy here- ooh
I don't wanna park tonight, pass by those traffic lights
It's such a simple plan, a trip in your sedan- ooh
Hill climb for morning views, sun-up in your saloon
Oh lets go further down the road
Don't ask me what it is or where to go
Because I don't know- I don't know
I just wonder if you fell desire?
I'm riding in your car, a good friend you are- ooh
So take me where I please see Los Angeles
A bad idea to try you look so horrified
And I didn't think that you could tell
I'm a psyco speeding road machine from hell
You know me so well
It's just a simple trip by car
A sleeping passenger you are
But boy what a picture of relif
that your skin is just as smooth and just as sweet
And it's warm beyond belief
His ??? always locked away inside
'cause at the brink ??? so hypnotized
I'm scared
Justified
And did you care
With your nose stuck in the air
That the messages were clear
Angelo Nero you're here
And it's a big decision down by the corn field
Yeah he's just poison - oh the mother's milk
And only for the reason that was how he felt
And he did he care
That his arrogance was clear
And the messages were clear
Had some injustice done
Had some injustice done and it's a deep incision
In the reach of the circumsize
A single penetration enough to satisfy
A little consolation for the ripped insides
And the liquid moved as she opened up the scar
A deep, richer red, just like a racing car
Such a sight to see
A real emergency
To me you are an island
Within a sea of silence
I'm sinking in by and by
Beyond the walls of wonder
That keep our souls asunder
Innocence is not a lie
If I fall through the rain
I will crawl beneath my shame
If I sing out my pain
I will stand for all my time
To some you are a tower
A clock that strikes the hour
Who am I to disagree
The mountains in between us
Forever will divide us
But every stream goes into the sea
Your Catherine Wheel is turning
I feel its fire burning
Love is not very far
The air is sparkling golden
Your mercy power's unloading
