(Dulli)
Eat my imagination
Taste my imaginary friend
I know your ass is fine
But I'm the only who one can say...
That it's mine
(Dulli/McCollum)
Baby, I see you've made yourself all sick again
Didn't I do a good job of pretending?
You're saying that the victim doesn't want it to end
Good. I get to dress up and play the assassin again
It's my favorite
It's got personality
I should have seen this shit coming down the hall
Every night I spent in that bed with you facing the wall
If I could have only once heard you scream
To feel you were alive
Instead of watching you abandoning yourself
Baby you can open your eyes now
And please allow me to present you with a clue
If I inflict the pain
Then baby only I can comfort you
Out of the night we come
And into the night we go
If it starts to hurt you
Then you have to say so
(Dulli)
Did you feel the breeze?
My love
Summer's kiss is over, baby
Over
Do you know the words?
Sing along with me
And put on your rose fur coat, baby
It's 1973
My love, this dream I have each night
I stare into a blinding light
Alone, I stare
Demons, be gone
Away from me
And come on down to the corner
I got something i want you to see
The burning sun
Too hot for shade
Come lay down in the cool grass
With me, baby let's watch that
Summer fade
My love, this dream I have each night
I stare into a blinding light
Alone, I stare
So sweet
This dream is not a dream
I wake with it
Inside of me
Alone, I swear
(Dulli)
Whenever the light shines
And the stillness is shaken
And the drug of your smile has gone
And left me alone
I need it bad, I need it now
Won't you come and give me some?
I need it sweet, baby please
Won't you answer the phone?
Step into the light, baby
Just give me the word
And I will begin
Step into the light, baby
And see the trouble I'm in
The light has gone
My love has gone
The good times have gone
Away
I have to ask, I need to know
Was it ever love?
I need it sweet, baby please
Come and give me some
- Dulli -
I got your phone number, baby
I'll call you sometime
I think I might, be out tonight
Maybe give you a ride
Cocktails for two, down lover's lane
I wantcha so bad, after tonight
I'll never walk the same
And you're to blame
I wanna getcha high
I wanna get next to you
I wanna feel everything aboutcha, girl
I wanna feel good
You make me feel good
Baby, you don't know
Just how I lie awake
And dream awhile, about your smile
And the way you make yo ass shake
If that ain't love
I guess I'll never know
A sweeter lie, you'd be surprised
Just how far I'd go
To make it so
(Dulli)
if i stepped it off
walked outside your trance
crawled inside your mind
and got my hands into your pants
wouldn't that beat all
wouldn't that be great
and all the things you do to me
we could exaggerate
now everybody knows
or everybody wants to know
the hows, the whens, the whys
of how i said goodbye
don't forget the alcohol
ooh baby ooh baby
don't forget the alcohol
ooh baby ooh baby
don't forget the alcohol
if i stepped it off
walked outside your trance
crawled inside your mind
and got my hand into your pants
don't forget the alcohol
ooh baby ooh baby
don't forget the alcohol
(Dulli)
My love don't comfort me
She toys with my sincerity
On that I can depend
I've found that nothing's straight
My twisted mind is bent all out of shape
But you will come back
And you will live on
Indeed I know
But you wouldn't lie when I told you to
Had to waste your time and tell the truth
This one is three, this is one is three
Indeed I know
You got me figured out now
Now we're both disappointed
What's done is now undone
Let's cut the line and have the action
In time I will be able to give
- Dulli -
You walked in
Just like smoke
With a little come on, come on, come on
In your walk
Well, come on
I've been waitin'
Are you waitin?
For my move, well I'm makin' it
So tell me baby, can you shake it?
If I can move it with ya
Will you let me take it?
I'll be down on my knees
Screamin' take me, take me, take me, take me
I'm yours
I've never felt so out of control
You don't even know what you're doin' to me
Come on and do it to me
Don'tcha stop
Come on, come on
Come on little rabbit
Show me where you got it
'Cuz I know you got a habit
so what YOU make me hard
if i was harder now i would crack into a million things
things i didn't really need
but how i wanted so
what a nice dream
didn't want to wake up
so i kept it dark all the time
dark enough so not to see
but not as dark as the plans that YOU have for me
so what YOU made me smile
i had smiled at lesser things before i ever thought of YOU
before i thought my soul was mine
now i think about me only when i can find the time
flowers all around
put your lover in the ground
flowers everywhere yeah yeah yeah
nowhere YOU can be found
i have put YOU in the ground
nowhere is everywhere
for YOU my flower
better get myself a drink
better get a couple so i can look YOU straight in the face
tell YOU that i think of YOU
almost as much as YOU think of YOU
(Dulli)
Hey, baby there's a vampire moon
Scaling the sky
Shine in your room
Your eyes are open
You got nothing to do
Come outside and play with me
Tonight
Follow me down to the bushes dear
No one will know
We'll disappear
I'll hold your hand
We'll never tell
Our private little trip to hell
Tonight
Can I walk you home tonight?
(Dulli/McCollum/Curley/Earle)
Untie the boat and turn on the water
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
It's alright
Untie the boat and turn on the water
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
It's alright
Carry me out deep into the ocean
Save me a prayer and let me over the side
Untie the boat and turn on the water
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
But it's alright
And you can hold me down
But don't you let me breathe
Let it wash all over me
Let it wash all over me
They cut off my head, child and gave it away
And poisoned the people I wanted to save
And left me here dark and rolling around
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
(Dulli)
This is my confession angel
Let's not make too much about it
This is my confession angel
Let's not make too much about it
Don't say a word
Don't do a thing
Lock yourself inside my dear
This is what I mean
I'm lying now I always do
I know my way around the truth
My need for guilt demands fresh fuel
You've laid your trip upon me now
Won't you take me with you
And it was all just meat to me
You were only meat to me
This is my confession angel
Let's not make too much about it
This is my confession angel
Let's not make too much about it
Don't say a word
Don't do a thing
Don't you move a muscle
Worship silence as your king
Hide in the dark
Block out the light
Tricked into believing that the dog wouldn't bite
And it was all just meat to me
- Dulli -
Uptown again
Nobody home
Feelin' surrounded
Should never left me on my own
Remember nothing, hypnotize
They say the eyes they never lie
Your eyes have failed you dear, deny
Deny, deny I know you'll try
Baby, untie me now
I'm ready to get down
Get down and move around
Baby, you cry too much
I'm tired of the sound
Yer such a baby
Uptown again
Throw me a bone
Feelin' surrounded
I've never done so well alone
- Dulli/McCollum/Curley/Horrigan -

Baby
Don't make me worry aboutcha
You look so sad
What'd ya do, to make ya so blue?
I have to ask ya, where do you go?
You look so faraway sometimes
I don't know, where do you go?
I wanna go
Miles away and miles above
The vampire only wants a little love
You might be right, you might be
Everything that you said that you were
But, so?
Baby
Don't make me worry... Aboutcha
They say that goodbye
Arrives by design
Who do you think about when you're lonely?
I remember when you used to sing
About your one and only
You're such a phony
Now I finally know you really know me
Miles away and miles above
The vampire only wants a little love
A little love, a little more
He's got ya now
You're gone for sure
- Dulli -
Sweet son of a bitch
(The Ass Ponys)
The storm was blowing from the South
The blood was running from your mouth
Glass was shattered on the floor
A hundred pieces maybe more
I remember you were crying
Just befoere you sent it flying
Silent sounding pounding on my floor
You may not believe me, baby, when I tell you that I am Mr. Superlove
You may not believe me, baby, when I tell you that I am Mr. Superlove
Falling out (falling out)
Falling out (falling out)
Falling out (falling out)
We had a falling-out
Clothes were lying on the chair
Your face was hidden by your hair
All that I could think of then was
What it must have felt like when you
Were lying naked headlong down the stairs
You may not believe me, baby, when I tell you that I am Mr. Superlove
You may not believe me, baby, when I tell you that I am Mr. Superlove
You may not believe me, baby, when I tell you that I am Mr. Superlove
You may not believe me, baby, when I tell you that I am Mr. Superlove
Falling out (falling out)
Falling out (falling out)
Falling out (falling out)
We had a falling-out
(Dulli)
You hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh, I do not fear you
And slave I only use
As a word to describe the special way I feel for you
You look like me
And I look like no one else
We need no other
As long as we have ourselves
But I won't cry about it
Every time you get obsessed
Every time I came undressed
All ugly thoughts are gone
I'm sure we'll all be friends
I'll try to break your back
You'll try to make amends
Curse softly to me baby
And smother me in your love
Temptation comes not from hell but from above
And there's blood on my teeth
When I bite my tongue to speak
Zip me down, kiss me there
I can smile now
You won't find out ever
Hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh I do not fear you
And slave I only use as a word to describe
The way I feel when I'm with you
(Dulli)
Repeat these words
After me
In all honesty
Repeat these words
After me
If you dare to believe this
Yourself
Am I vain? Have I shame?
Are my thoughts of a man
Who can call himself sane?
Do I blame, all my pain
On the wickedness
I have arranged?
If I do, bring it down
Repeat these words
After me
In all honesty
Repeat these words
After me
If you dare to believe this
Yourself
Am I vain? Have I shame?
Are my thoughts of a man
Who can call himself sane?
Is my fate, all the same
As the man who has
Walked the line straight
If it is, bring it down
And I, I must rely, my dear
And I, cannot deny, my dear
There will be a reckoning
Which was, is
And is to come
Repeat these words
After me
In all honesty
Repeat these words
After me
If you dare
To believe

I knew a girl, extraordinary
Suggested something, unsanitary
As I asked her for a moment
To consider her kind offer
She blew a kiss and said to me...
I know you know
You want it so
I want it too, so see it through
'Cuz when I do what I'm gonna do to you
Make sure you remember my name
You know it's true
I want it too
I know you know, so make it so
'Cuz when I do what I'm gonna do to you
You'll never ever, ever...
Intoxicated, by your aggression
I offer you my one possession
You can fuck my body, baby
But pleeze, don't fuck my mind
Get you high, girl, come with me
Take a ride in search of ecstasy
I wanna roll with ya, I wanna roll
I feel you now, I never knew
You were so sad, i'll make it up to you
'Cuz I feel you now
I feel you now...
(Dulli)
I hear the whispers, baby
If what they say is true
They say I killed the brother
To fall in love with u
These words I heard them once before
A conversation I believe
How does a man begin 2 fall
When he does practice 2 deceive?
There was a voice behind my back
His face I could not see it clear
The voice was so familiar, though
I knew my enemy was near
The sun iz gone
And the sky iz black
So get your ass out from
Behind my back
I told u once
And I told u all
And I told it like it was (sic)
U can't
Have me
If u can't
Catch me
Out of your mind bent on revenge
To think I once called u my friend
U want the dog? I'll let him out
Come and get some baby
(Dulli)
Angel, I'm sober
I got off that stuff
Just like you asked me to
Angel, come closer
So the stink of your lies
Sinks into my memory
She said baby, forever, but I don't like to be alone
So don't stay away too long
Baby, forever, well it's Tuesday now
I hear him breathing inside of her
Let me drink
Let me tie off
I'm really slobbering now
Let it stink
Let it dry up
It's impossible
How?Angel, forever
Don't you promise me what you cannot deliver
Angel, together
I'll be waiting for you on Fountain and Fairfax
(Dulli)
What should I tell her?
She's going to ask
If I ignore it, it gets uncomfortable
She'll want to argue about the past
Still I think she believes me
Every word I say
I think I'm starting to believe it all myself
Go ask the gentlemen who play it
But hate to pay
And it don't bleed, and it don't breathe
It's locked its jaws & now it's swallowing
It's in our heart, it's in our heads
It's in our love, baby, it's in our bed
It holds my arms down, sits upon my chest
It waves its finger at me every night & day
And it don't rest
And it don't breathe and it don't bleed
It's locked its jaws and now it's swallowing
It's all a lie, it's nearly dead
(Austell/Graham)
(Dulli)
All alone, all alone
No one to play with
Your eyes are all swollen from crying
Feeling sick
You open it
And discover your lover between the legs of another
And he's loving it
Let me lie to you
I'll be kind when I deceive you
But you must never question me
Just quietly believe
There, there
You haven't a care
I won't ever hurt you, deny or desert you
Don't ask me again
Wake up! and listen to thee
Someone must have told you
(Dulli/McCollum)
Hypnotized by this endless summer
Filled with nothing I keep with me
Won't let them take this nothing from me
Won't let you waste my time for me
I've been a good boy so give it to me
And keep your brothers away from me
They know I took it
They're coming for me
Now I can hear them following
We had talked about it for days
It's not supposed to happen this way
Don't believe it's getting cold
Don't suppose I'm getting bold
Shove my head against the door
Crawl inside and kiss the floor
Waiting for the sun again
Drink it smoke it stick it in
If I was going down
Taking everybody else around
(Dulli)
Get off that stuff she said
And I'll stone you instead
Unchain yourself said she
And tie yourself to me
I'm on the floor
I play with knives
You can call and ask your wife
She's been over once or twice
Likes to use me
And I'm her slave
But I don't need no chains
I'll behave
Give me more of what I've come to expect
Wrap your love around my neck
Understand me when I say
You'll deny me
- Dulli -
Hey... Welcome home
I got a little wine
Some Marvin Gaye
Come on and taste me
Come on and take me, I'm yours
Dance, little sister, dance
This is my girl you're talkin' to
There isn't anything I wouldn't do
So take me... Taste me... Erase me
I'm yours... Let's get it on
Anything for a lover
Anything for a friend
I only wanna see you happy
Baby can we pretend
I'd give anything to see you dance
I'd give anything to see you smile
But baby doesn't want just anything
She wants everything
Hey... Welcome home
I got a little wine
I got a little time
So come on and take me
Come on and taste me
Come on and waste me
Come on erase me
I'm yours... Let's get it on
I got the devil in me, girl
(Dulli)
Your attention, please
Now turn off the light
Your infection, please
I haven't got all night
Understand, do you understand?
Understand, I'm a gentleman
I stayed in too long
But she was the perfect fit
And we dragged it out so long this time
Started to make each other sick
But now I've got time for you
For you, you, you and me too
Well, come and get it, come and get it
'Cause I'm doneUnderstand, do you understand?
Understand, I'm a gentleman
I waited for the joke, it never did arrive
And words I thought I'd smoke
Let me in I'm cold
All messed up but nowhere to go
You got indecision, and indecision is my enemy
Unlock the cabinet, hey hey hey
I'll take whatever you got
Now I'm on it, now I'm on it
And you're done
I waited for the joke
It never did arrive
And words I thought I'd choke
I hardly recognize
(Dulli)
Lover mine
Get your coat and come outside
I wanna take you for a ride
On into town
Lover fair
We'll be looking sharp, I swear
I want them all to stop and stare
When we take 'em down
Go to town, burn it down, turn around
and get your stroll on, baby
I'll get the car
You get the match
And gasoline
And as we ride
Away into the countryside
I feel as though I must confide
There is a cost
When you say
Now we got Hell to pay
Don't worry, baby, that's okay
I know the boss
(Dulli)
You can believe in me, baby
Can I believe in you?
What you don't know
Can hurt you, child
All the things a mind can
Do to you
If I go bad
From time to time
Love to love but love is not
My only crime
Bathe the path, shine the light
Better get your ass up on
The mountain, baby
I'll take you up tonight
Faded
This I feel
Behind the blue clouds
I remain concealed
Lord, lift me out of the night
Come on, look down
And see the mess I'm in tonight
You can believe in me, baby
Can I believe in you?
I wish I could remember what
You said, when I said
Enough
You said
Good boy... bad boy... killjoy...
Get your ass over here, boy
And since I know
Myself so well
Don't breathe a word
Don't you ever tell
You can believe in me, baby
Can I believe in you?
That secret's gonna kill you
In the end
It's gonna kill
You
(Dulli/McCollum)
It was a Saturday
I came home early drunk with love
And other things
I must confess I love it all
Pretend that I can hardly wait
To wipe that smile off of your face
It's only when
On that you can depend
Later that afternoon
My paranoia got the best of me
I knew it would, it always do
I made the call
Pretend that I can hardly wait
To put that smile back on my face
It's coming soon
I'm going to the moon
If you pretend, then I imitate
My friend, come crucify my heart
I wanna get it on
I wanna get it on
And in the evening when I sleep
My situation changes nightly
Sometimes it comes, sometimes it goes
Sometimes I feel I'll never know
Tonight's the night I take it home
White knuckle happy and alone
With no one in the room but me
I see I finally see
(Dulli/McCollum)
I walk around with this all over me
I cannot wash it clean
You've got the ball
You've got the ball I'm taking it from you
And today
It's in the blood
I left it in the blood you see
So put the words together
I'll be with you forever
Get up
We'll rise
They'll pay
And wait until tomorrow night
I can't recall yet if I'm black
Or if I'm white or wrong
Or if I'm white or wrong
I am your creator
Come with me my congregation
Get up I'll smack you back down
Get up
We'll rise
They'll pay
Get up I'll smack you back down
You will become my diamond
I'm yours and you are mine
Get up
We'll rise
the way people smile and say,
using me in every way
it's ok
times are changing
life is upside down
no reason to cry now
oh no reason to cry now
beware of who you listen to
beware of what you believe
ain't nothing i can do to you
to make you love me
friends are the reason
for so many breakups and breakdowns, round town
so many people think that life is so much fun
we've only just begun
begun to have some fun
beware of who you listen to
beware of who you believe
ain't nothing i cn do to you
to make you love me
beware of who you listen to
beware of what you believe
ain't nothing i can do to you
to make you love me
to make you love me
(Dulli)
Tonight, tonight I say goodbye
To everyone who loves me
Stick it to my enemies, tonight
Then I disappear
Bathe my path in shining light
Set the dials to thrill me
Every secret has its price
This one's set to kill
Too loose, too tight, too dark, too bright
A lie, the truth, which one should I use?
If the lie succeeds
Then you'll know what I mean
When I tell you I have secrets
To attend
Do you think I'm beautiful?
Or do you think I'm evil?
Will you take me for a ride?
The one that never ends
Too loose, too tight, too dark, too bright
A lie, the truth, which one shall I use?
If the lie succeeds
Then you'll know what I mean
When I tell you I have secrets
To attend
Tonight, tonight I say goodbye
To everything that thrills me
As I throw the chains
I forged in life
To shatter on the floor
As I dream all the evidence
Is piling up against me
As I breathe all the essence rare
Is falling off the vine
And if you knew, just how smooth
I could stop it on the dime
You could meet me at the
scene of the crime
- Dulli -
Whatever did happen to your soul?
I heard you sold it
To some old boy who lived uptown
Who could afford it
So what's gonna happen to you now?
Therapy... The pharmacy
Crazy
That's what you'd like to believe
But it ain't easy
When yer goin' crazy
Over the rainbow
"I think your story's jive," she said
There ain't nuthin' wrong with me
If I use it to get me some sympathy
Some ecstasy
A memory... I wanna remember me
Crazy about ya
Crazy without ya
Crazy
Over you
- Dulli -
Jean Content
He wake up everyday
In a government yard
Deep down inside Citi Soleil
Roll some bones and catch a fire
Evil minds, they will conspire
The moon to lose its light
The stars sink into night
Across the town
A young girl plays guitar
"Do you remember me?" She sings to a lover
She worships from afar
Roll some bones and catch a fire
Evil minds, they will expire
The moon to shine a light
Upon us all tonight
Ooh child, I'll meet you, child
On the sunny side, it's alright, it's alright
No lies, and no cryin'
It's alright
"How you like me now?"
My friend, he say
"How you like the madness of Citi Soleil?"
Roll the bones and catch a fire
Join the triumph of the choir
Citi Soleil, Citi Soleil
I love to say Citi Soleil
(Dulli)
Love
I can't hide
But it's been easier
Since I said it now
Love
It don't end
And I can't buy
A friend
I waited long
The waiting's over
So get on down
This time we go a little lower
The sun has broke
I stretch it out
And throw some gas into the fire
To tell the truth
To tell it well
It all depends upon the liar
And if I scream, overboard
I'm in this over my head
Or whisper sweet
Baby please, baby please
Am I ded?
Every time I dream about you, baby
With your hands all over me
I never forget anything
Don't forget that I'm asleep
Go to sleep
It's over now
A final prayer for my friend
You tell that fool, to make it good
You have to start at the end
And if I scream, overkill
I'm in this over my head
Or whisper sweet, baby please
I must have meant what I said
(Paul K.)
Hey man what is that yr thinkin
Maybe YOU can get away
There must be lots of pressure
& lots of bills to pay
Amphetamines & coffee
It almost makes you gag
Too many big decisions
No more time to play
Slip into something classic
Turn on the television
Ignoring all your children
Accepting their derision
Routine is acknowledged with pinnacle precision
The statistician stares at a family in division
(Penn/Moman)
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for what we stole
It's a sin, and we know it's wrong
But our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the streetAnd when the daylight hour rolls around
If by chance we should walk downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Ooooh darling, please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street
You and me
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
Oooooh, some day
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me
I've been cryin'
(for you)
cuz I'm lonely
tmiles have all turned to tears
tears won't wash away the fear
That you're never ever gonna return
to ease that fire that within me burns
it keeps me cryin' baby for you
keeps me sighing baby for you
(for you)
won't you hurry
come one
and see about me
(come see about me)
see about your baby
(come see about me)
I've given up my French dress
(for you)
your friends are talkin
you have too
no more piece of my pie
until you come back and be mine
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyways
it keeps me cryin'
(baby, for you)
I'm gonna keep sighin'
(baby, for you)
won't you hurry
come one
and see about me
(come see about me)
(come see about me)
see about your baby
Sometimes up
sometimes down
my life's so unsanctified with you not around
from arms you maybe out of reach
but my love says you're here to keep
it keeps me cryin'
(baby, for you)
I'm gonna keep sighin'
(baby, for you)
won't you hurry
come one
and see about me
(come see about me)
see about your baby
(come see about me)
see about your baby
hurry hurry
hurry hurry
(Dulli)
Got u where I want u
Motherfucker
I got 5ive up on your dime
And if u wanna peep on something
Peep what I got stuck between
Your eyes
And since I don't believe
A word u say
Save it for another, baby brother
Swallow time 2 pay
Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
2 touch the light
But wait 'till I get done
With u
If u tell me
"Don't get mixed up with the Devil"
That's exactly
What I'm gonna do
Caught u while u waited
For your boy 2 come
And fix u up again
Come a little closer, baby
I only wanna try 2
Be your friend
Since I ain't got nothing
Left 2 lose
Got u where I want u
Motherfucker
Don't u try 2 move
Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have 2 climb
2 touch the light
Won't u take me up there
With u? U said u would
No one ever could shake
That ladder like I could
So I wait
honey yer junkie ass is fryin
honey why don't YOU stop yer whinin
yer barn door opens & YOU don't say black
the sidewalk swallows don't YOU step up on the crack
hhhhhhoney i know what worth was waiting for
YOU got yer white coat mama
YOU got yer heart of soul
i see some crucifixion behind those two eyeholes
gonna take yer white trash home
better take yer white trash home
i see yer hardon for the black girl
keep yer bloody hands off me
take me to your white trash party
leave me swinging from a tree
- Dulli/McCollum -
Up all night, again
Az for sleep, no comprende
I don't sleep 'cuz sleep iz the cousin of death
Least that's what Nas say
Sleep iz a state of mind
And to know iz to be on your way
I bought some bad drugs
Off these snotty little rave kids I met
And I shuffled off to Buffalo
If I have love, then I hide it
Then the people that I hide it from
Have helped me to deny
That it's not enough to show you care
You gotta take on every double cross
And every double dare, I swear to you
Unchain your mind, become divine
Surrender, surrender my love
And get on down here and say it with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sick and tired again
Fucked and wired again
It's all so beautiful
Sound like a stone temple sob story to me
If I'm on your mind again
You must be trippin' on some of that
Voodoo I been throwin' down
When you're high and lost in the clouds
Then you know it's time to get down, again
(Rodgers/Hart)
Sit back and count your fingers
What else is there to do?
Oh honey I know how you feel
I know you feel like you're through
Sit back, count, count your little fingers
My unhappy, little, little girl
Sit back
Gonna count those raindrops
Feel it falling down all around you
Honey don't you know it's time somebody told you
Cause you got to know
All you ever gonna have to count on
I'm gonna want to lean on
It's gonna feel just like those raindrop do
When they're falling down
Baby, all around you
Well I know you're unhappyNow you sit back
Gonna count your little fingers
What else do you have to do?
And I know how you feel
And I know you ain't got no reason to go on
And I know you feel like you must be dreaming
Honey go back and sit right back down
I want you to count on me
My unhappy, my unlucky, and my little, little girl
I know you're unhappy baby
Honey I know

Roll on up--for my price is down
Come on in--for the best in town
Take your pick of the finest wine
Lay your bets on this bird of mine
Roll on up--for the price is down
Come on in--for the best in town
Take your pick of the finest wine
Lay your bets on this bird of mine
Name your price I got everything
Come and buy it's going fast
Borrow cash on the finest terms
Hurry now while stocks still last
Jesus:
My temple should be a house of prayer
But you have made it a den of thieves
Get Out! Get Out!
Mine time is almost through
Little left to do
After all I've tried for 3 years, seems like 30, seems like 30...
Crowd:
See my eyes I can hardly see
See me stand I can hardly walk
I believe you can make me whole
See my tongue I can hardly talk
See my skin it's a mass of blood
See my legs I can hardly stand
I believe you can make me well
See my purse I'm a poor poor man
Will you touch will you mend me Christ
Won't you touch will you heal me Christ
Will you kiss you can cure me Christ
Won't you kiss won't you pay me Christ
Jesus:
There's too many of you--don't push me
There's too little of me--don't crowd me, please don't crowd me

Heal Yourselves!

(Dulli/McCollum)
Ladies, let me tell you about myself
I got a dick for a brain
And my brain is gonna sell my ass to you
Now I'm OK, but in time I'll find I'm stuck
'Cause she wants love, and I still want to fuck
Now that I'm ashamed, it burns
But the weight is off
Now that you're out of the way
I turn and I can walk
You showed no sympathy, my love
And this was no place for you and me to walk alone
On my grave, am I OK?
I'm sure I'm not
Ladies let me tell you about my love
She kept giving me more
But it wasn't enough
So understand
Now that I come to you
To understand my little self
To understand my little selfAnd baby you be sweet
(Dulli/McCollum/Curley/Earle)
I smell your blood, my love
But I can't taste it yet
I have your mind, my love
But I can't waste it yet
Please understand my love
I find this sickening
My head is ice my love
My skin is thickening
But oh! my love
We could still be friends
And oh! my love
With me you must contend
I'm gonna turn on you before you turn on me
I'm gonna turn on you can you conjure me?
And walk the mile into this web of my conspiracy
I'm gonna turn on you before you turn on me
I'm in a hole
But I don't feel the safety net
I have your soul
But I am wasting it
But oh! my love
We could still be friends
And oh! my love
(Dulli)
My lust it ties me up
In chains
My skin catches fire at the
Mention of your name
No matter what I tried 2 do
I could not lose it
Now I know my heart
Is being used
But what I'm not allowed to have
I never could refuse
No matter what I tried 2 do
I stood accused
I reply, that I don't believe
I'm ever gonna die, I don't
Do u?Blame, deny, betray, divide
A lie, the truth
Which one shall I use?
Whatcha gonna do?
I know
Whatcha gonna do?
I know, I know, I know
Your sanctimony
Is showing my dear
The acrimony
Hangs in the air
Beware of who u trust
In this world
Beware the lies about
2 unfurl
I reply, that I don't believe
I'm ever gonna die, I don't
Do u?
U were blind
But u are not alone in this
As I, was once
Like u
Blame, etc.
(Holland/Dozier/Holland)
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
And as I roam my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength, I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, I miss so much
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, baby
You've given me a true love
And every day I thank you, love
For the feeling that's so new
So exciting so inviting
Baby, baby, I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pushing me closer and closer to your heart
Then suddenly
Your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
Til I leave my past behindMy world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
From this cold world I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there ain't no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness, in memory I know so well
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you babe Without you babe...
One eye open baby
Both hands tied behind my back
Surprise acomin in a cross street smile
How so the changes have come slow
Takers drivin got to take the wheel
We got their lives ahanging & their souls to steal
Give me a break [give me an arm] wishbone cracky good luck charm
Rave on monkey
Come on down little sister
What might be right for goose might not be right for the gander
YOU got on the mississippi mudslide
Get up on the tchoupitoulis southpaw
YOU got to lie now chillun
You got to lie to be willin
O my soul it's time to awake
Come on down give the kingdom a shake
& o my soul it's time to get down
Jane had a bottle of pills
She kept beside her bed
She took a couple when the sky came falling down
";what do you see in me";
She used to say out loud
I see myself in a year
If I'm still around
& I don't feed the doll no no
Jane used to touch herself to make it go away
The loneliness that would follow her all around
& hold her pretty hand
& wanna be her friend
& hold the ceiling when the sky came falling down
I don't really need you
But since you're here
Tell me all about yourself my dear
Are YOU queer?
What happened to your wrists
Do YOU need some help
I can't be checking on YOU like this all the time
YOU want some help then bleed somebody else
Television's gone and I'm alone with Lucifer
What a drag
Muthafucker lied to you
Muthafucker took me head
You're never alone with your jones
And all you can't forget
So roll on up the price is down
So come on come on come on come on.
Today the retard speaks to me and now I have it all
What a drag
Muthafucker lied to you
It could never get that bad just ask
So go on go on go on go on
Who you call retarded now?
I said who you call retarded now?
I see YOU standing proud
Come on down & swallow hard
He liked to kiss the boys
He liked to kiss the girls
He liked to kiss the inbetweeners
Rub his tongue on their gums
Rub his tongue on their gums
& lie with them
& lie to them
& light it up
I know your little secret
Watch my eyes
They see what YOU don't see
They see what YOU know
& what YOU think I don't know
Ah but now we both can share
Everything we've ever done
Everyone we've ever touched
YOU liked the boys and girls
I know your little secret
All the lies
All the hesitation
Won't bring me closer now
Won't you bring me close
I smoke a pack a day
I hit the pipe sometimes
& drink my pay
Screw my friends
Understand my need to offend
Come home & smack the woman around
Tried to apologize
But she deserved it that I know
Strangled with her pantyhose
What's with the flowers
Can't YOU smell me
I buried YOU & still YOU kill me
With all your crying I can tell
That your disease will make me well
Twist your head so I can witness
Come & crawl inside my sickness
I'm hated
Undisguised
Never known why
(Dulli)
I'll warn you, if cornered, I'll scratch my way out of the pen
Wired, an animal
The claustrophobia begins
You think I'm scared of girls
Well maybe
But I'm not afraid of you
You want to scare me then you'll cling to me no matter what I do
Tell you a secret
They shared a needle once or twice
I loved her, she loved me
We slept together a couple of times
You think I'm proud of this
Well maybe
But the shame you never lose
Infatuated with a lunatic and cornered by the muse
And it goes down every night
This must be what jail is really like
And I will scratch my way out of this pen, again
Lonely?
Maybe
Or maybe not
It all depends
Your ideal, your image
Your definition of a friend
If what you're shoveling is company
Then I'd rather be alone
Resentment always goes much further than it was supposed to go
(Dulli)
Since you're aware of the consequences
I can pimp what's left of this wreck on you
Bit into a rotten one, now didn't you?
Now I can watch you chew
Did you have blinders on my dear
Or were you just willing?
Or was I unaware of the damage a lie can do?
I thought you knewListen up
Drive it off
Punctuate it with a smoker's cough
Light it up
Stick around
I told you somebody's going down now
Spit it up
Get it out
Let me kiss that beautiful mouth
Tell me is it the same?
My sweetness, my everything
And is this condescending a comfort at all to you?
We bit into a rotten one
Now didn't we?
Well, baby now it's through
(Dulli)
Hear me now and don't forget
I'm not the man my actions would suggest
A little boy, I'm tied to you
I fell apart
That's what I always do
This ain't about regret
My conscience can't be found
This time I won't repent
Somebody's going down
Feel it now and don't resist
This time the anger's better than the kiss
I must admit when so inclined
I tend to lose it than confront my mind'Cause it don't bleed and it don't breathe
It's locked its jaws and now it's swallowing
It's in our heart
It's in our head
It's in our love
Baby it's in our bed
Tonight I go to hell
For what I've done to you
This ain't about regret
It's when I tell the truth
And once again the monster speaks
Reveals his face and searches for release
A little boy is tied to you
Attracted only 'til it comes unglued
