Force fed immobilization
Man made liquid controlling my limbs
I want to die, no reason for living
Dealing with complications life brings
A corpse with no thoughts
No feelings or perceptions of life
The pleasures of death I foresee
Nightmares and day mares combining
To torture my being - This torture inhibits my life
The world is a graveyard of fools left to cope
With the torment and regret of man now deceased
Ghouls are released to destroy the race
Which we call human beings
Existence is torn from my soul
Perdition is what is believed to be seen
Suffering from the inside
Nefarious is the way
You choose to be - Left with no will to live
My intestinal wall begins to cave in
Trapped as they say
I begin to rot here as I lay
Time to take a look
At what has begun to pass before me
Die a slow death
It now begins to take it's tollCatatonia
Scared as I lay here dead
From this infectious disease
I want to rise from here
To recover what is mine
Abdicate your position in life
Now that you lie deceased
Rising from the tomb you own
To take what is rightfully yours
Scared as I lay here dead
From this infectious disease
I want to rise from here
To recover what is mine
Way Beyond Blue
While there's a show left to perform,
Smooth down your hair and put your makeup on.
You'll face another night in two.
So close your mind no-one will follow you.
There in eyes I see way beyond blue.
There in eyes I see way beyond blue.

This boy can't swim, he's wearing too many skins
I hope he sinks, then he'll forget everything
Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer
Left on the side they have long since rejoined him
Back in the fold thick as thieves they will weigh him down
2nd verse (chords as above)
This boy can't swim he's carrying too many sins
I hope he sinks, till he forgets everything
2nd Chorus
'good as gold' alternates with 'thick as thieves'
La la la la La la la la
Mickey wishes he was dead, draws the sheet across his head
Never felt so alive
Moved him in to share the bed, turns out he's sharing her instead
Was it all worthwhile?
Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in
Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in
Don't want you to go, just need you to know
Can't leave the house: he wouldn't dare, hang this guilty frame with stares
Naked in a fray
I'll be the shortest person there, oh god I'm losing all my hair
It won't suit my style
Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in
I don't want you to go, I just need you to know
I don't want you to go, I just need you to know
Do do do Aa-aa-aa-aa-aah
She gave me nothing that I could bear to lose Aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-ah
And if he reaches for the door, be sure he'll touch the wood and pause
Ask me back for more
We'll still shove us down the stairs, still get in each other's hair
If there's any left then
Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in
I don't want you to go, I just need you to know
I don't want you to go, I just need you to know
Did you want him to go? did you push him to go where the ~~ girl lies

Fly, you greatest fool,
Why can't you say what they want you to?
Why can't you say what they want you to?
Why can't you do what they taught you
And show what they wanted of you?
Fly, you greatest fool,
Is this what everyone talked about?
You spill your high-flung phrases
And hush when the risk gets too much
And I, I wish you would do it,
Then I'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
Then I'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
Is this what everyone talked about?
Swallow everything that suits, dress it up as truth,
Swallow it all down
And I, I wish you would do it,
Then I'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
And I, I wish you would do it,
Then I'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
Then I'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.
Lost cat in Arthur Street, black and white
If you go, I'll come without a fiiiiiiight
I'm sick of hearing damning words of you come cursing through my head
And I'm too proud to sit here,chasing time, wasting things we shared,
Or thought we had.
You said, I'm you digging a home
Truth is, you left a long time agoooooooo
But you can turn it on and play the innocent, though you've been caught.
And I'm too proud to sit here, saying everything is how it was.
Never been this sure.
Take it from where you want to grow, there's always tomorrow.
I'd rather have you smile than have you fall, no matter where you go.
Ten men in trial of love succeed
All those in Arthur Street will walk freeee.
And you can turn it on and play at anything you ever wanted to.
Cos you're not dull and I'm not strong enough to carry on wondering
How we're gonna see this through.

I caught you chasing chains....
A dead loss, no songs
No fun, just glum
Lying next to someone
Don't mention the War
So don't question where we stand
Or where we fall
North, South, East wehre's best
If I head left
It turns out directionless
And needle point aside
I always find
Embroidery leaves me blind
'Cos I'm not too weary to rest
Since I noticed
Coming second best is close to ideal
What fools boredom breeds
So much to do
So many goldfish to feed
And paracetamol
I take them all
They line my stomach wall
With customary thirst
I search a water glass
But gin hits first
Oh don't believe the hype
Expectany will alsways spoil a party
It's tourniquet by crochet
My waters break
Don't drive for pity's sake
'Cos I'm to weary to rest
Since I noticed
Coming second best
You know the time to act is now
Before the sands of time run out
I know that I could never
Fall from grace I'm far too clever
I will achieve my destiny
My stars ascent a certainty
I know that I could never
Fall from grace I'm far too clever
Boy sees. boy takes. boy hooked
And the subject's closed
Worst case scenario becomes real
It don't show
No clever clevers can dissuade
From tougher substance I was made
I know that I could never
Fall from grace I'm farr too clever
Boy sees. boy takes. boy hooked
And the subject's closed
Worst case scenario becomes real
It don't show

You're adament
So loose limbed I give in
Althought your bed is warm
The worn springs creak of regret
And lust is the theif who crept away
While we were sleeping
Now you're doing my head in
The lines, the blinds are drawn
We are intimate strangers
I'm reborn, it's a false dawn
Where we've been I forget
And Saturday's fuss is just small town lust
It's me I'm cheating
Gyda gwen o glust i glust, fe oedd y cyntaf i basio'r pyst

You should know by now that the common thread is taut
I'd like to stay but you just won't listen
Disappointment I'd take though there's no point to it
I blew it
If you could think aloud, it won't mean anything will change
If you could think aloud, it won't mean anything will change
As tests go wrong and we deny it together
Or a second of thought might ache forever
I blew it
I blew it
I blew it
But did you ever go too far up against your own persuasion
Consummate madness then despise
You should have learnt by now that the common thread is taut
You should have learnt by now that the common thread is taut
It's hard to reflect when your world is sighing
You could never catch up and there's no use trying
I blew it

And if the gods were on your side I couldn't let you slide

Never spun you no yarns

We all go where nobody knows our name
If I step out of line
I'll step out of line, yea yea
Over land, over sea
One step two to one is free, yea yea
And she'll go yea, where he goes yea
We all go where nobody knows our name
And don't cry if crying means you're sorry
Whatever the case, I always felt out of place
As a matter of fact, I always felt like that around you
I'm disinclined to toe the line
Under your thumb where I've become unwanted
So pick your way down to the sea
Pick your way to the sea, yea yea
It's not the tide you gotta watch, it's me
Not the tide you got, it's me, yea yea
And she'll go yea, where he'll yea
We all go where nobody knows our name

See lines that draw it to an end - ignore them
And if I say how I feel again, is it wise to do it?
Or like hearing for the umpteenth time, some despise
Don't you fall asleep there's lots of things I need to say that just won't keep
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah)
And with my fears in the back of my mind, will they gang up on me?
And when I least expect them to they'll devour me
Don't you turn aside, your tired ears must hear me out - there's nowhere to hide
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah)
Don't you turn aside, your tired ears must hear me out - there's nowhere to hide

It was strange glue that held us together
While we both fell apart at the seams
You said "Your place or mine
while we've still got the time"
so I played along with your schemes
But I don't have the right to be with you tonight
So please leave me alone with no saviour
I will sleep safe and sound with no one around me
When faced with my demons
I clothe them and feed them
And I smile, yes I smile
As they're taking me over
And if I cannot sleep
For the secrets I keep
It's a price I'm willing to meet
Oh the end of the night
Never comes to quickly for me
Oh the end of the night
Never comes to quickly for me
And if I cannot sleep
For the secrets I keep
It's a price I'm willing to meet
Oh the end of the night
Somebody told me you'd found new bonhomie
Going places, you'd never go with me
I felt myself became a bitter old shrew
Oh, I'd have bitten you in two, if you would let me
I'd look deadly as a nun
Martyrdom does not become me
I'll find love in vanity
Somebody told me you'd found places to go
And new people to know, and new ladies and so
I felt myself become a bitter old shrew
I'd have bitten her too, if you would let me
If I don't laugh ,what do I do?
If I don't laugh and see this through
I shouldn't even think of you
Allow me one extravagance
Before they come and ban me
And let me shoot the messenger
So help me God they talk so much
This knowledge ain't my business
But I hang on his every word
Hey Lord, speed his journey back to hell
I might retreat singin'
But all I hear is you
And just give me one more shot of gin
I'll scream along to anything
And just let me shoot the messenger
Yea, so help me God, it talks so much
This yard, this song, my weakness
I'm gonna shoot the messenger
Oh, let me shoot the messenger
Her treasure chest was sunken
Equally cursed and blessed
In her Versace dress
Too eager to impress
A vision filled her soapsud hell
Twin tub on spin
Lets all her daydreams in
And how she wants away from him

High street prams

Push chair rage

About who was in front of who

If all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
come round
You can take a piece of mine
If all you've got to do today is hesitate
come here, you can leave it late with me
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cos you and I kow, it's all over the front page
You give me road rage
Racing through the best days
And it's you boy driving me crazy
Thinking you may be losing your mind
If all you've got to prove today is your innocence.
Calm down, you're as guilty as can be
If all you've got to lose alludes to yesterday.
Yesterday's through.
Now do anything you please
Repeat Chorus
Space age, road rage, fast lane, minimum wage
Home late, upgrade, short-changed, golden age
Front page, lose face, handmade, space ache
He came on ecclesiastically
His sermon loud and bold
And I got hold of a spiritual healin'
His eloquence, magnificent
I didn't stand for long
And there I learnt how prayer can be misguiding
But I'm a good girl
Oh, I'm a good girl
I'm a good girl
They recommended counseling
But I don't need to talk
I don't get off on a communal changin'
I'm better bred, much better led
Leave my keys at home
But brace yourselves for industrial cleavage
'Cos I'm a good girl
Oh, I''m a good girl
I'm a good girl
If you live a lie you'll die a liar
If you live a lie you'll die a liar
Pants on fire
Joan of Arc come kiss my art
Leave a charcoal mark
There is so much more to solitary refinement
'Cos I'm a good girl
Oh, I''m a good girl
I'm a good girl
If you live a lie you'll die a liar
If you live a lie you'll die a liar
If you live a lie you'll die a liar

I'll be your Baba Papa
I'll be you Baba Papa
If you'll be a Baba Papa to me
I'll be your table and chair
Philippe Starck or Bill Amberg
If you'd be a Baba Papa to me
And I'd be your Angel
Ride you until you're warmer
Be your cradle
Swing you until you fall
I'd be your son and your heir
Destitute but debonair
Though ill advised and ill in debt
I'd never be drained or misled
I saw your dreams and infatuated
With this freedom
You say the words and I could be them
And I'd be your angel
Ride you until you're warmer
Be your cradle

Everythin' is beautiful
And nothin' hurts
You at all, you at all
Everythin' is beautiful
And nothin' hurts
In your world, in your world
Words plain with lullaby refrain
So sweet sleep
Enjoy the time you keep
All around is wonderful
And, and nothin' harms
Me at all, me at all
All around is wonderful
And, and nothin' harms
In my world, in my world
Words plain with lullaby refrain
So sweet sleep
Enjoy the time you keep
And if you call
I'll follow after all
So sweet calm will keep us safe from harm
Everythin' is beautiful
Everythin' is beautiful

You, me, and destiny
Guess that it was never meant to be
All you did was give me allergy
I'm not looking for your sympathy
My selfish gene
It fills my spleen with bile
And all the while
I thought you gave a damn
You, me, and destiny
I am courted by uncertainty
Lost my will to live unselfishly
Altruism stinks of fallacy
My selfish gene
It fills my spleen with bile
I'd rather be liberated, I find myself captivated
Stop doing what you . . . Keep doing it too . . .
I'd rather stay bold and lonely, I dream I'm your one and only
Stop doing what you . . . Keep doing it too . . .
Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone
I'd rather be jumping ship, I find myself jumping straight in
Stop doing what you . . . Keep doing it too . . .
Forever be dozy and dim, I wake myself thinking of him
Stop doing what you . . . Keep doing it too . . .
My bed is made for two and there's nothing I can do
So tell me something I don't know
If my head is full of you is there nothing I can do?
Must we all march in two by two by two?
Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone
And as for some happy ending, I'd rather stay single and thin
Stop doing what you . . . Keep doing to me
Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone here
Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone
So what have you got to say about that?
And what does someone do without love?
And what does someone do with love?
It's all getting messy
Seamlessly sloppy
Only fit for the bin
Oh, what a mess I'm in
Regret can be a fuel
Blisters mean renewal
But all that stuff tastes of him
It's time to jack it in
I've been a long, long, long, long, long time lonely
But I can see the reasons in your eyes
Since you've been gone, gone, gone, gone
I've thought of you only
And your intelligence is no surprise
You filled your head with travel
Life become unraveled
And opens that door in your soul
Then nothing can fill that hole
Hope is carrots dangling
You to me are tempting
Slim, tall, fat, small or thin
Nothing is happening
I've been a long, long, long, long, long time lonely
But I can see the reasons in your eyes
Since you've been gone, gone, gone, gone
I've thought of you only
And your intelligence is no surprise
Pool, sunblock, pool, sunblock, sea
Pool, sunblock, pool, sunblock, sea

London never sleeps, it just sucks
The life out of me
And the money from my pocket
London always creeps, showbiz hugs
The life out of me
Have some dignity, honey
Euston, Paddington train station please
Make the red lights turn green
Endlessly
My black cab rolls through the neon disease
Endlessly, endlessly
London never sleeps, it sucks
The life out of me
Show some dignity, honey
Sushi bars, wet fish, it just sucks
The life out of me
And the money from my pocket
Euston, Paddington train station please
Make the red lights turn green
Endlessly
My black cab rolls through the neon disease
Endlessly, endlessly
I come alive outside the M twenty five
I won't drink the poison Thames
I'll chase the sun out West
It's Londinium now, Londinium now
It's Londinium now, Londinium now
Euston, Paddington train station please
Make the red lights turn green
Endlessly
My black cab rolls through the neon disease
Endlessly, endlessly
Euston, Paddington train station please
Make the red lights turn green
Endlessly
My black cab rolls through the neon disease
Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la
Tedium is overcome
From obscurity, through melody
And when I'm blind it helps me
See through your key
No one can touch, no need to rush
Presented by my alibi
When I'm down it brings me round
So easily
At eight o' clock I'll take my leave
And when I'm done and dusted
Tonight I'm gonna be
I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see
I'm gonna take you down to a place
I know you'd rather be
It's just a three minute song
It doesn't last very long
But it'll take you to a place
I know you'd rather be
Hey you can dance
Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la
Common sense has excuses
Recklessness, its uses
But don't go 'fusing silence with charisma
At nine o'clock you can count on me
And when I'm up I'm ready
Tonight I'm gonna be
I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see
I'm gonna take you down to a place
I know you'd rather be
It's just a three minute song
It doesn't last very long
But it'll take you to a place
I know you'd rather be
Where you can dance
Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la
I'm doomed to fail
The stage gives way
It's an apostrophe to my legacy
But thought I'm bruised
I'll happily do it all again
At ten o'clock don't wait up for me
'Cos when I'm up I'm ready
Tonight I'm gonna be Matthew
I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see
I'm gonna take you down to a place
I know you'd rather be
It's just a three minute song
It doesn't last very long
But it'll take you to a place
I know you'd rather be
And you can dance if you want to
Show appreciation
But step up to the mic for the full sensation
And you can dance
And you can dance
And you can ooh la la la
Ooh sha la la la
Yea you can ooh la la la
Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la
I'm sorry you couldn't make it
You could have seen him, so weathered and dated
And I know that you would hate him
If you'd seen his botanical leanings
First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit
He was a Johnny Come Lately
And I know that you would hate me
If I envied the things that he spoke of
How I envied the things that he thought of
He was a Johnny Come Lately
And I know that you would hate me
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
To find out how to make a garden grow
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil
He didn't need us, just tempted us and teased us
You could have been here, wishing you were here
He was a Johnny Come Lately
And I know that you would hate me
He was a Johnny Come Lately
And I know that you would hate me
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
To find out how to make a garden grow
Where the sun no longer shines
He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound
But I must have cast them all on stony ground
And now the sun won't shine
I must have asked too many questions
And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow
Deffrwch Cymry cysglyd y gân
dwfn yw'r gwendid
bychan yw y fflam
Creulon yw'r cynhaef
ond per yw'r dôn
'Da' alaw'r alarch unig
yn fy mron
Every day when I wake up
I thank the Lord I'm Welsh
Darganfyddais gwir baradws Rhyl
Gwledd o fedd gynhyrfodd Cymraes swil
Every day when I wake up
But she only came to gloat
It stuck right there in my throat
How she loved to turn the screw
And leave you feel indebted to her fantasies and views
So surprised you saw it through
Couldn't help but notice
Couldn't help but notice
You'd covered all means of escape
Found the other people's parties second rate
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
Reduced a listener to a tear
Forgetting what had brought him here
Undoing everything he'd known
left him wake up in the morning on his own
It's how you leave no time to breathe
It's how you leave no time to breathe
All is not all that it seems
Thought the rest was just a breeze
Till you remind me of my inadequacies
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It's infantile, it's in your smile, here's my sign you'll soon be mine
It's infantile, it's in your smile, here's my sign you'll soon be mine
It's infantile, it's in your smile, here's my sign you'll soon be mine
I put horse's heads in people's beds
Cause I am the mob
When duty calls, gonna bust some balls
Cause I am the mob
Don't try and tell me it's not one for the money, two for the money,
three for the money
Am I your Easter Bunny?
Come on
I try my level best, my best to please
But I'm gonna put a bullet between your knees
Baby come on, oh just tell them
Stop blowing the Don, but his keks back on
Cause I am the mob
Stop mucking around with a brand new sound
Cause I am the mob
Don't try and tell me it's not one for the money, two for the money,
three for the money
Am I your Easter Bunny?
Come on, oh baby come on
I try my level best to please
But I'm gonna put a bullet between your knees
Baby come on, just please tell them
That Luca Brasi ah, he sleeps with the fishes
Missus
I?d rather not go where the people I know
Have no hooks to hang from
Now she wears fake fur, it?s speaking volumes for her
It?s a freak-show for mother nature
If the star impales a world from its pew
(Ah)
It don?t subscribe to its point of view
(I can see you)
Some time is lost imprinting my mind
(Ah)
And so I honestly can see you
(I can see you)
Pope John-Paul?s had a fall, they won?t take no anymore
Their god will die before I can
If the city is fear then build a bridge outta here
But you?ve no hooks to hang from
If the star impales a world from its pew
(And ah)
It don?t subscribe to its point of view
(I can see you)
Have some bills, you fill collection tins
(Ah)
You got no vision
(Try see if I can)
You got vision
(If you're sure that I can)
You got
I?ll see if I can feel you
Take a little while before you speak out
Read between my lines and notice
There must be something good in the tumbled up world
In this shook up world
And if you?re one of the boys with your irrelevant ploys
You?re too close for comfort
It might keep you amused to leave the restless confused
You?ll have so much more to run from
If the star impales a world from its pew
(And ah)
It don?t subscribe to its point of view
(I can see you)
Have some bills, you fill collection tins
(Ah)
You got no vision
(Try see if I can)
You got vision
(If you're sure that I can)
You got
I?ll see if I can heal you
Shh, shh, the elephant man is sleeping
Forgive me if I seem to be impatient and obscene
It's just I'd like to fall so flat and hear the voices shouting back
Tinkerbell should have waited before turning on the TV show
Tinkerbell should have waited before turning on the TV show
As orange buffoons dance, they booked a faker in advance
Left purple jungles in a trance to raise the nepotistic chant
Tinkerbell should have waited before turning on the TV show
Tinkerbell should have waited before turning on the TV show
Tinkerbell should have waited before turning on the TV show
She should have waited, she should have waited before the show
The TV show ... the TV show
(La la la la la la)
The TV show ... the TV show
(La la la la la la)
So you want to be a star? Tell the monkey where you are, look the monkey in the eye
(the TV show ... the TV show)
Did you fly into a rage? Did you lust for centre stage? Look the monkey in the eye
(the TV show ... the TV show)
Did you yearn to leave your mark? Did you swear that you'd go far? Look the monkey in
the eye
(the TV show ... the TV show)
If you want to be a star tell the monkey where you are, look the monkey in the eye
(the TV show ...the TV show)
Take my word, I'll try to make it clear, yeah
You could never be like you'd been then
Have you never tried to stay behind?
One touch and they all fall beside her, yeah
It's said that you're the kind to run and hide, yeah
Is it better than to leave to all inside?
Slow down, you're racing fast for now
You'd shine with half your given power
Tria cadw'r brenin yn ei le, yn ei deurnas-saff
Y rhai a lloches yn ei lewys
You see my hands I've been caught at it again, yeah
Another finger serves to single out the blame
Have you never tried to stay behind?
(Powell/Catatonia)
Well it's a most peculiar feeling
Like sunburn in the evening
With dark clouds on their way
And you think it's most unlikely
Life could never shine as brightly
Once the sun has gone and the pressure's on
And the rain is here again
But you don't need the sunshine
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's giving
And I don't mind your lies so keep on talking
Do you find the change in season
Affects you without reason
You've greetings but nothing more to say
And you swear you'll feel much better
If only summer lasts forever
But the sky is clear and you're nowhere near
And the rain is here again
But you don't need the sunshine
Don't need the good times
Lean on me maybe you could see it through
If you would only believe a single word is true
But you don't need the sunshine
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's giving
And I don't mind your lies so keep on talking
I thorw away my sunshines
My so-called little lifelines
Do you know what I mean?
When I decided that the answer
Could not be bought across the counter
My sista dista has left for good
And the rain has gone away
But you don't need the sunshine
Don't need the good times
Don't need anything anyone's giving
the sun is shining
we should be making hay
but we`re dead from the waist down
like in california
victory is emptythere are lessons in defeat
but we`re dead from the waist down
we are sleeping on our feet
we stole the songs from the birds in trees
bought us time on easy street
now our paths,they never meet
we chose to court and flatter greed, ego disposability
i caught a glimpse, and it`s not me
make hay not warmake hay not war
make hay not war
or else we`re done for
and we`re dead from the w down
there`s no contracts binding
no bad scene beyone repair
but when you`re dead from the waist down
you`re too far gone to even care
we stole the songs from the birds in trees
bought us time on easy street
now our paths, they never meet
we chose to court and flatter greed, ego dispoability
i caught a glimpse, and it`s not me
make hay not war
make hay not war
make hay not war
or else we`re done for
and we`re dead from the waist down
I've got my work cut out with you
You tore bits out of me
Your carpet burns and bruises blue
Are there for all to see
But I can tell you've been through hell
Finally you wear it well, it's an accessory
It's time to change your uniform
And hand it on to me, to me
And I dream one day I'll find
The one who lives inside my mind
And they feel the same way too
We've all been used
Dazed, beautiful and bruised
The dazed, beautiful and bruised
And blame is not a one way street
The widest avenue
But cause me grief
And my belief is harm will come to you
Between the lines I think you'll find
Lessons learned from valley's eyes
Beauty can turn sour
So recognize through all the lies
The hero of the hour, the hour
And I dream one day I'll find
The one who lives inside my mind
And they feel the same way too
We've all been used
Dazed, beautiful and bruised
When there's nothing, nothing left to lose
Dazed, beautiful and bruised
Dazed, beautiful and bruised
Dazed, beautiful and bruised
I thought we'd escape
I packed a fishin' line and counted on it
I thought we'd escape
I packed a fishin' line and counted on it
But dreamin' is for moon rise
And moonlight ails these tired eyes
I treat him like a lady
I treat him as I would he unto me
Give Rose, rose seller a run for her money
With silicone and poetry
But it's the end of me
I thought it could change
I'd wake up one mornin' and find nothin' to rearrange
I couldn't get there
Behind his wall of Sunday papers
(I thought it could change)
I'd wake up one mornin' and find nothin' to rearrange
But dreamin' is for moon rise
And moonlight ails these tired eyes
I treat him like a lady
I treat him as I would he unto me
Give Rose, rose seller a run for her money
With silicone and poetry
And it's the end of me
And here I am
Here I am
And here I stand
Here in my kitchen where
I'm familiar with every brand
Here I am
A front line with labels where
I witness custards last stand
Now his intentions unfold, they're not what they seem,
He only wants to take control.
Boy is he selling you loads, all you do is believe,
Grant him his black-eyed fantasy.
He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars,
Do you believe this bullshit?
Tell me you don't want to face this situation any more than I do.
Oh you think you're so great, keep it up at this rate,
You're bound to catch it if you wait.
I've seen the symptoms before, they come as they please,
Here comes the low rent man again,
He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars,
Will you believe this bullshit?
Tell me you don't want to face this situation any more than
I do.
So what does he have in store; does he need you to bleed?
Inadequate in all he breathes,
He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars,
Will you believe this bullshit?
Look in your own eyes
And if you know now the mirror of the Spirit
You know You’re made of , completely made of black
despair
Made of sadness , hate , hate and greed
When the night falls – demons come
I am inert , I let them come
And I hear - “close your eyes”
And I hear – “”close your mind”
Communing with them I fall down
Deeper and deeper , I am dying out
I’m not afraid of it - it’s a dream
I only want to rest from it
from hell
hell in my head
I can be afraid only of thing I don’t know well
I ‘m sinking free , I feel no pain
Demons rip my soul ,
And I want no help , no more
Death is a friend , it’s my natural state
Fuuuuuck!
Fuck You , fuck me !
It’s a demon’s game – you know?
You’re not a player – you’re a pawn
You are round of their game
Catatonia is the way
To make you weak ,to make you sad
To deprive the will of life
Demons are around , they’re real
They are to bring you to hell
