L.A. lady you always look so uninspired
when you're hanging around
living with creeps and loving with liars
and everybody knows it's true
that all you're ever gonna be is entertainment
so entertain me
you shiver when they wake up
and once more before they're gone
and even when you're sleeping baby
you're barely holding on
L.A. lady I know your feet must be so tired
from standing on a corner stomping out cigarettes like they were fires
the daughter of a thousand men
you've got your mothers eyes and whorish skin
you're a train wreck
but that's entertainment
you shiver when they wake up
and once more before they're gone
and even when you're sleeping baby you're barely holding on
so throw your skin back in your clothes
and wipe the blood running from your nose
'cause if the price is right tonight anything goes
too many lines, one too many times
you're sharing the same vein
with your stage name
but it never quite feels the same
it never quite feels the same
I said, it never quite feels the same
you shiver when they wake up
and once more before they're gone
and even when you're sleeping baby you're barely holding on
so throw your skin back in your clothes
and wipe the blood running from your nose
'cause if the price is right tonight anything goes
too many lines, one too many times
you're sharing the same vein
with your stage name
but it never quite feels the same
it never quite feels the same
somewhere along the way i had to break away
just like a flash of light seen running into the night
i can't quit, i won't stop
i confessed i've always been a mess
and then i woke up in your wedding dress
baby, you know i gotta swing from gallows
cause my head already hangs low
cause these days are so slow
give me an empty canvas
so i can throw it away
cause 26 years on the run ain't no fun
i can't quit i won't stop
no matter what you say or who you do
there's no way in hell i'm coming back to you
baby you know, i gotta swing from gallows
cause my head already hangs low
cause these days are so slow
i don't want romance and i don't need a second chance
i just want out of this fucking quicksand
i gotta burn this wasteland down
because i'm tired of fucking around
baby you know i gotta swing from gallows
cause my head already hangs low cause these days are so slow
i don't want romance and i don't need a second chance
i just want out of this fucking quicksand
i gotta burn this wasteland down
lay her rest with violence and a cold encryption
empty casket send her to hell with no prescriptions
glue a mirror to the inside of her empty coffin
so she can stare at her dead face
and follow her new faith home
all the way straight to hell
dark skies, no flowers, no need for visiting hours
lowered in trash and let the goddamn earth
come and search for treasure
cause who's going to love you now that no one can penetrate you
no one can hear you cum
so follow your new faith home
all the way
all the way back to hell
because as far as we can tell
there isn't any way
she has to pay
i'm sorry but it's true
you can't save anyone
from her first love to her bastard son
for all of the things that she's done
dear god i can't wait to finally meet you
you selfish cunt, you've got some explaining to do
cause we only wish we knew
anyway
she has to pay
i'm sorry but it's true
cause you can't save anyone
from her first love to her bastard son
for all of the things that she's done
dear god i can't wait to finally meet you
i'm stuck out of place in california
what's left of california what's left of los angeles sidewalks cry cause they're not as high shooting old dope rich kid skies are a good disguise lining our veins with hope what did you get for free and where you gonna sell it why should i give a shit cover up your facelift what's left of my broken heart what's left of los angeles we got a new designe excess redefined so you can dream it we rewrote the standards covered up the old scars so you believe it scrape black tar from a guilty lung throw a needle in your arm cough up wrongs of the city stars they didn't mean no harm what were you supposed to be and what did you turn into we don't even need you here but where you gonna run to good drugs bad streets arms tied my world capsized with style i got a new plan get me outta here pretend sincere stumble on words desperation the warmth of a gun last hundred years remember twenty four
quiet like an elevator even the walls are scared i'm dependent on a generator just to breath in air medication medication signatures and stares watching all the lights come down never wanting to care these circles seem so strange i run around and around but nothing's changed medication medication signatures and stares i'm reinventing brand new lives like they were never there i never want to run out get more can't stand waiting i never want to run out don't stop the lines from fading it's time to wake up i've been asleep for far too long it's time to wake up before the pain i feel is gone i never want to run out
Dry the blood I'm done feeling the separation I'm sick of your dried blood this is self contreol stop this standard it never stops it's not gonna stop the shame you feel when you're alone tragic non stop wake up and die madness weak will dead weight is not the answer i tried for years just to finalize i tried to cut the vein instead dry the blood dry the blood separation done stops this standard it never stops it never stops the shame you feel when you're alone someone stop the bleeding fall in love alone tell me there is a balance that is self control stop this standard someone stop the bleeding addictions i have gone cold give me sense of balance that isn't self control can someone stop the bleeding addictions i control someone stop the bleeding someone stop the bleeding.
told you so
if you could just let go
let's get this right
let's take our time
let's get this right
now we feel just fine
we got ourselves untied
in this dark hotel
we found a wishing well
and we're prepared for the worst
so prepared yourself for the worst
well everybody i know
has one good chance to die
to be swallowed whole by the big blue empty sky
feel the heavens stare
with a cold hard look in it's eyes
to hear the sound of something awful on the rise
so pray for safe passage through the night
you'll be humbled by sounds of daylight
and this is an endless search
to find how much is enough
this could be so much worse
but we sold our souls for gold
you know that nobody in this room
wants to hear you cry
and if nobody goes for help
baby you're gonna die
it came and went so fast
you'd almost thought you'd missed
a chance to shake your head and say
how did it come to this
pray for safe passage through the night
you'll be humbled by the sounds of daylight
and this is an endless search
to find how much is enough
this could be so much worse
but we sold our souls for gold
we sold our souls
we sold our souls
does this endless wrecking ball
involve anyone or anything at all
be careful how much you take
they're watching your every move
waiting on your dance floor
endless get away
confessed to a wall
cause these kind of drinks will make you crawl
beg rip of your face
so be careful how much you take
they're watching your every move
waiting on your dance floor
because you'll never make the right decisions
with busy hands and blurry vision
mislead you know you won't admit it
you went against your own
she's dead you might have over did it
now you're on your own
the days are long but the nights are longer
and after midnight the drinks can only get stronger
the end it near so we become smoke and we become mirrors
come home with me now
i won't have you any other way
You say that you got the answers
You heard them all on the telephone
And now you're telling everybody
A major coup in the business zone
We got new thoughts, new ideas it's all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
And now you think that you got a first in fashion
New uniforms we all look the same
A new vogue for the now generation
A new profit in the same old game
We got new thoughts, new ideas it's all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
And you think you can run and hide what you've done?
Don't you know no one cares after the first million?
Come on!
And now you think that you got a first in fashion
New uniforms we all look the same
A new vogue for the now generation
A new profit in the same old game
Come on! We got new thoughts, new ideas we're all so groovy
It's just a shame that we all seen the same old movies
So you think you can run & hide what you've done
don't you know no one cares after the first million
Come on!
It's a shame 'cause not everybody wants to look the same
And not everybody wants to think the same
And not everybody wants to act the same
And I say everybody don't wanna to be the same
Against these tides of war
I swim until I can't swim anymore
Just like I did the year before
Against oceans of class
I swim until my lungs finally collapse
And I'm at peace with my past
So drag me down to the ocean floor
Cause I don't want to fight no more
Against these tides pulling from all sides
I'm never going back to shore
This is my sinking ship
And as captain I must finally give in
Because I always knew
I always knew you'd win
Is it wrong to not want to be where you belong
Cause it takes way too long
So drag me to the ocean floor
Cause I don't want to fight no more
Against these tides pulling from all sides
I'm never going back to shore
So drag me down to the ocean floor
Cause I don't want to fight no more
Against these tides pulling from all sides
I'm never going back to shore
Just let me sing myself to sleep
I made my mistakes and now it's time
To make my great escape
Because it takes way too long
So drag me down to the ocean floor
Cause I don't want to fight no more
Against these tides pulling from all sides
I'm never going back to shore
So drag me down to the ocean floor
Cause D don't want to fight no more
Against these tides pulling from all sides
I'm never going back to shore
Just let me sing myself to sleep
days you always want to tell me lies you try to sell me to the stars at night you think i'm too uptight love you call me on the phone alone you wish that i could stay speaking pain in codes telling me you still care through a dial tone drugs you really want to put my life on hold you really want to see my growing old with you like a naive friend but i never want to face myself again unless i'm coming true speaking pain in codes telling you that i know i'm no good alone i've tried so hard just to be myself but i've erased everything i was i tried searching for the truth alone and i remember everything i've done i'm thinking everything will turn out fine but i'm a little kid without a soul give me just a little bit more time just a little bit say what you want to do to me or you i don't care right i erased everything i know give me just a little bit more time to solve my future
what happens now that it's over
create a new violent type of love
don't lead me to the bridge
don't walk me to the water
i can't control myself from taking
don't lead me to the bridge
don't walk me to the water
i can't control myself
i'll take it all
how'd i get so hollow
you look like you just saw a ghost you knew
it must've said something so believing
no one before could build this type of love
familiar faces can be so deceiving
don't lead me to the bridge
don't walk me to the water
i can't control myself
i'll take it all how'd i get so hollow?
take your love consequence can't catch me
save yourself before i spread all over you

She had to leave, Los Angeles!
All her toys wore out in black and her boys had too,
She started to hate every nigger and jew,
Every mexican that gave her lotta shit
Every homosexual and the idle rich (idle rich)
She had to get out, (get out), get out, (get out), get out, (get out)
She looks confused,
Flying over the dateline,
Her hands turn red.. ..Cause the days change at night,
Change in an instant,
The days change at night,
Change in an instant
She had to leave Los Angeles,
She found it hard to say goodbye to her own best friend,
She bought a clock on hollywood boulevard the day she left
It felt sad, (it felt sad), it felt sad!
She had to get out, (get out), get out, (get out), get out, (get out)
She looks confused,
Flying over the dateline,
Her hands turn red.. ..Cause the days change at night,
Change in an instant,
The days change at night,

Alright!!!!!
I left with shaking hands, looking for danger
Details of modern love, in bed with strangers
And there is no warning, I'm not ignoring
I cut glass on my callused feet,
cause I walk through miles of make shift mud
Motherfucker...I want your BLOOD!
I got the hands of history's stranglers,
and the midnight sky reflects off my skin
I got the flesh of a million strangers...
your never gonna see me...closing in
YEAH...while you're sleeping!
No need for safe return, is no need for your concern
there is no warning, I'm not ignoring
I follow you across the county lines
And these beads of sweat feel like a flood
You motherfucker......I want your BLOOD!
I got the hands of history's stranglers,
and the midnight sky reflects off my skin
I got the flesh of a million strangers...
your never going to see me closing in...
your never going to see me closing in......
while you're sleeping!
Breaking through your window, stabbing through your ribcage!!
i'm done telling you that i'm in love what i have will never be enough come on baby go live life on your own everything inside is breaking down and you don't want to be hanging around i don't think i want to leave myself alone i'm done having to apologize i'm done living inside your eyes when the lights go out whats left to know nothing ever makes sense to me a broken branch of the family tree kill the lights now baby watch me explode there is no revolution and i'm done doing things i don't want to do there is no restitution and i'm done living in this decline i'm done watching you redesign come on baby let's go walk out the door i'm done showing up to fucking work taking orders from a fucking bitch i'm in the chair now go ahead and flip the switch i'm done doing things i don't want to do and i'm sick and tired of setting up to be like you fucked up thrown out and overdue im done there is no revolution
i don't know where i should begin my scars have overrun my skin frustration's taken all my patience exposing everything inside the more time that i spend alone is the more time that i hate myself it's one thing not to finish in first place another thing not to finish at all i can't stand here and listen to bullshit and everything you own can't stand cause i live alone watching shadows fall i don't know where i fell apart it wasn't like this from the start frustration's taken all my patience i feel the walls closing each day i try to find another way my brain's a gun without bullets so sad i can't replace the drive i had with my own blood i don't know where i should begin my scars have overrun my skin leached onto everything inside try and find a darker place to hide right now i've lost complete control frustration stole my dedication rip my solid state apart my brain's a gun my brains are gone
i don't think i'm alive dead footsteps another outcast screaming alone god help me give me what you want give me what you need i'll take it all stand fall lost out baby yes i know it's not a secret a false alarm another front page lie disguished to help me burn another year of research stand still turn on the lights baby show me your scars salvation give me audio give me visual overload so slow lost out baby yes i know everyone is suspect everyone deserts sometimes another loss i'm feeling alone it's not a secret a false alarm it's not a secret it's not a sad song another front page lie disguished to help me burn god help us false alarm
i never wanted to admit to this but my love wasn't true
i rescue the lonely because i'm lonely too
and the way you smile the way you laugh
reminds me of myself
before i fell apart like a drug infected heart
all along in a city by the sea
dirty leaves fall around
all alone and suddenly it seems
dirty leaves fall for you and me
i never wanted your heart to break
but we still knew it would
impossible to save
but did when i could
i replaced your tears your loneliness with cigarettes and wine
but you needed more and we ran out of time
now your love is gone
all all alone in the city by the sea
dirty leaves fall all around
and suddenly it seems
dirty leaves fall for you and me
and once again i'm torn between saving you or saving me
that's why i begged you not to stay
any longer than you should
because i always knew you would
and now it builds more every day
until you're just an object in my way
choking on the words i never wanted you to say
all all alone in the city by the sea
dirty leaves fall all around
and suddenly it seems
dirty leaves fall for you and me
say enough words to make me forget until i get dangerous and desperate i love it when i'm telling myself lies the good ones that i know i can cash stare at my face until i neglect everything i couldn't forgive look at the way you make me live choking like a fucking kid i rejected faith, i broke a good heart i regret love because you told me i still don't care i wasn't meant to cover up scars built on faults to who it concerns consider this i tried all your cures but i'm still sick i'm never going to regain senses burn another hole in my head remember the disease you spread like addiction that comes in fits talk enough words to make me forget all my dreams are dead disguise lack of progress quit sending me signals for chemicals everything i crave is going to kill me don't want to be sick depression just seems to stick
She liked my drugs i liked her hair she's like a god cuz she don't care she had to watch her little brother die what a great disguise skies are falling so you paint your picture well you can paint one thousand because it makes no difference vicariously we crave disease i don't love you you wish i did skies are falling so you paint your pictures well you can paint a thousand because it makes no difference an overdose bleeding our your nose my heaart is lost baptized in my hate bats! the way you make me chase belief you scream poem into my ear so insincere cut off my ears skies are falling so you paint your pictures you can paint one thousand it makes no difference
give it a rest and then try it again with more soul
until you learn that clearing your heads'
the same as losing control in this space
don't let it drive you crazy
don't let it drive you insane there's no point
cause you just keep turning us on and turning us off
and on and off and on
until we're light as a feather and we're stiff as a board
light as a feather and we're stiff as a board
give it a break cause if you try it again you'll get bored
because you don't really know where it starts
but you know that it ends with no friends
and even this is a test and i'm sorry if it breaks your bubble
but you still need some rest cause it's gonna go
it's gonna go
on and on and on
until it hurts
we will go on and on and on
until it hurts
turning us on and turning us off
you keep turning us on and turning us off
Not enough not enough i will never be another dead love another vice show me what lies can teach me another reason for a rusted heart another reason time stands alone another reason for blank affection couldn't stand to be sad alone i shouldn't have another pain prescription but i'm not gonna turn it down a young voice in a desperate scream creates substance that i need from you all this is just a way for you to push out pain push it out on me it's all this is just therapy for you that's all this is i'm not enough i'm not enough i never will be another vice another lie another dead love consumes me another reason lets you fall apart at the feet of someone else's hearet i couldn't wait to try and pick up the pieces i'm no good at picking up my own i don't need another cheap sedation but i'm not gonna turn it down another shot at salvation dies you can see yourself inside my eyes all this is just a way for you to push it out pain push it out on me cause all this is just therapy for you that's all this is giving it back giving it back throw it away throw it away threw it away threw it away all this is just a way for you to push out pain push it out on me all this is just therapy for you that's all this is giving it back giving it back

Kurt-Kurt-Kurtis Blow
Our parties are def and the girlies are pretty
In the boogie-down Bronx town in New York City.
Like the sun will shine in the summertime
I don't do no crimes 'cause I just rhyme.
I drive a Benz and I got a lot of friends
Up on the Concourse where Tremont ends,
Or Jerome Avenue or Gun Hill Road,
The place where rap started in the days of old
Called the Bronx
The Bronx
The Bronx.
Hey Moe! (Curly from 3 Stooges sample)
I have the Power. (sample)
Coitainly! (Curly from 3 Stooges sample)
The Bronx is the place where the Yankees play.
We fans have the fever to the break of day.
In '76 we used to have big fun
Chilling at the club 371.
Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Italians and Jews,
Bronx River Casanovas and the Ninth Crew. (called)
The Bronx is the place where I reside.
I'll be a Bronx boy 'til the day I die.
It's called the Bronx.
The Bronx
The Bronx.
Lotta ducks out in the pond. Ducks sure take to the water like, uh, ducks!

Hey! What's going on here? Suddenly I'm swimming in the air with a rope
