(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri)
James,
Your voice is like the water
When I lift this shell to my ear
I can hear you pourin' out your heart to me
James,
The beauty of your voice
Lifts us from sadness
James,
Let us become like water together
Sing to me
Sit on the edge of my bed as when we
First spent nights together
Your body wrapped around your guitar
Let the music speak for your heart
Let them combine like water and sand
Let them meet the air like drops of rain
James
We were always friends
From our childhood days
Then we made our plans
And we had to go our separate ways
I went on the road
You pursued an education
James
Do you like your life?
Can you find release?
Will you ever change?
Will you ever write your masterpiece?
Are you still in school
Living up to expectations
James
You were so relied upon
Everybody knows how you tried
Ah look at what a job you've done
Carrying the weight of family pride
James
You've been well behaved
You've been working hard
But will you always stay
Someone else's dream of who you are?
Do what's good for you
Or you're not good for anybody
James
I went on the road
You pursued an education
James
How you gonna know for sure?
Everything was so well organized
Ah now everything is so secure
And everybody else is satisfied
James
Do you like your life?
Can you find release?
Will you ever change?
When will you write your masterpiece?
Do what's good for you
Or you're not good for anybody
whenever she's feeling empty
whenever she's feeling insecure
whenever her face is frozen
unable to fake it anymore
her shadow is always with her
her shadow will always keep her small
so frighten that he wont lover her
she builds up a wall
oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
she's been in disguise forever
she's tried to disguise her stellar views
much brighter than all this static
now she's coming through
oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
Don't tell her to turn down,
Put on your shades if you can't see,
Don't tell her to turn down,
Turn up the flame.
She's a star
it's a long road
it's a great cause
it's a long road
its a good call
you got it,
you got it,
SHE'S A STAR
[Music depresses me]
Help's on it's way, I'm lost in space
No protection
Please come and rescue me
I've got no friends, an orphan
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss to give me away
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss
To blow you away
All in my head
I'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me all in my head
i'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss to give me away
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss
to blow you away
All in my head
I'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me all in my head
i'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me
I'm building a fire
A flame for always
I'm living on fire
A flame for always
I'm living like fire
A flame for always
I'm building a fire
A flame for always
I'm living like fire
A flame for always
How long to go
Before this flame dies
How long to burn
Before I blaze away
I blaze away
So long to all my friends
And those who taunted me
To those who lead me on
To those who...
You're a late child
You're a love child
It's enough, child
That you're so appealing
You're appealing, you're appealing
To a need that we all have been feeling
You don't fit where you've been put
They're so straight
Straight out of some book
Try to fake it with the real men
Tried to fill your father's size ten
Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl
Don't let them wear you down
What a wonderful ego
You should be so proud
Far out is the life for you
Not just a life, that you must make do
Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl
Nothing is certain,
Every things changed
More than just words when you know it's you who's in pain
You hold the chalice, you hold the blade
Bring them together and see what you've made
Facing the future inside a cocoon
Feeling control when you've been so abused
Alone in this world
Your're not a boy or a girl
Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl
Blue pastures fade away
Green rivers in silver light
I'm walking to the sound of distant bells
So peaceful I don't know who I am
And just when I think its clear
It turns all grey again
And I wonder who will find me in the snow
And just when I thought I was free
I got pulled in again
Once you're in, you're in
Blue pastures calling home
I'm Walking but I can't stand anymore
Hear voices, can't tell near or far
Weird voices lay me down
And I don't see why I'm obliged
To just carry on
When everything I touch
Turns out wrong
And I feel I've committed some crime
But I don't know what I've done
One day life just wins
One day life just wins
Still breathing
But I'm tired and I want to go home
Still breathing
But I'm not sure anymore
Still breathing
But it doesn't really matter if I fade away
Fall into sleep
Leave the room, don't use the door
We're only on the 13th floor
Your veil is lifting
You've got nothing on, you've nothing on
Every dog must have his day,
Every Caesar should be spade
Your veil is lifting
And we can see right through your suit of tears
You don't own us
Can't control us
Avalanche
Avalanche
Every face a stepping stone
At the top's a throne of bones
Your curtain's twitching
But you can't see past your daily sneer
We don't fear you
Now we see you
Avalanche
Now we got into your shoes
Its your turn to be abused
The heat is rising
And you can't hold back this rage with fear
You accused us
While you used us
Avalanche
You accused us
While you screwed us
For a love you dream
A dreamer still
For you love a dream
A dreamer still
For you dream
A love too bad to meet
Where your song is all
The wait is still
And your song is of
Your rage will steal
I relax and hold your way to see
It's the falling dark beside the sea
It's a dream along the water scene
It's the light of that you¡¯re ever she
Pray down in your home
Pray down in your home
Smile in your home
Lay down and in your home
Lay down in your home
Smile
Lay the law down in your home
Lay the law down in your home

Working in different mine shifts
Working in different minds
Down the chute and out the door
I know that I've been here before
The blinding lights, the long white coat
Cut the cord before I choke
Oh, please sir, handle me gently
I've got nothing to protect me
This man in a mask stabbed me in the back
No sooner alive than I'm being attacked
If this is the planet Earth
Oh please, mom, take me back in your sack
My keepers aren't too bad this time
The man's quiet, the woman's crying
When I arrive, what's hers is mine
I take and take it all the time
Oh please sir, do not tempt me
Those sweet things, they just destroy me
I always want more than I can get
My belly's full, but I'm not done yet
Need something to kill
The word is you¡.mine
It's true, it's true, it's true
You taught us how to be the same as you
If only you really knew
We wouldn't do what you do
It's true
As you poison the Earth you poison our lives
This isn't living, but another disguise
Go looking for truth
As all of this is built on lies and lies etc.
Hey, hey, hey now you've found me
Everything's so clear
With your arms around and your song in my heart
There's simply nothing I can fear
Feel he inside burst through my head
Replacing my eyes
Please don't let me hide
Cut through my head
Replacing my eyes
There are so many traps been laid
How can you avoid one
Put your foot down in a moonlit glade
Snap, your ankle's broken
(refrain)
I don't know how decisions get made
Which are the turns to take
It doesn't seem to matter what plans are laid
You can't tell when the wave will break
So many ways
There are so many colourful rays
How are you going to choose one
Bright lights look all right from here
But seduction has to be wrong
(refrain)
So many ways
I don't know which path you're taking,
If it's bent or straight
All I know is I've found something that will take me home again
So many ways
If you keep your wits about you,
Search with an open heart
You'll be sure to find your answers, penetrate the scream in the cynics
So many ways
Lost and if you are looking for foot's path
Floating free in space
There are all these lights coming out the dark
Do they lead to the same place
So many ways
An earwig crawled into my ear
Made a meal of the wax and hairs
Phoned friends, had an insect party
But all I could hear was the bass drum drum
All I could hear was the bass drum drum
Now if you put your ear close you'll be able to hear
Not the sea shore noise of the shore sea shell
The clatter of plates
And the bronze of the bell
Going ding dong, ding dong, ding dong dong
Going out of my mind as they hollow my head
I'm floating in the air, but my body's in bed
The more they eat, the more I see
What is not, but just could be
You can hear them laughing in my head
You can hear them laughing in my head
Ha ha ha ha ha
Now they've eaten my memory, I can't recall
How the world used to be before
So a vision is the same as what is real
Depends upon the lighting, and how I feel
Ding dong, drum drum, ha ha ha ha ha
And then the music stopped
The musician went away
They'd eaten all my brain
The red and the grey
They all stack at home
Dug a tongue through my nose
Where my brain used to be
Now there's only a hole
Tiptoe behind sapper
Who crawls through the minefield
Knife in the soil, and his ear to the ground
Hiding in shadow, he takes the risks
You are the pimp who steals the sound
Fox breathes again, when the fox breathes again
When you spy a fresh face remember the rich taste
You want a part, at the cost of it all, so you open your flick knife
And lop off a thick slice
Envy makes the flyer fall
Please don't hitch a ride with us, you leave a slime that turns to pus
Your appetite is out of sight
I think I'll be feeding you dynamite
Please don't hitch a ride with us, you leave a slime that turns to pus
Your appetite is out of sight
I think I'll be feeding you dynamite
I'll never feed you again
When you spy a fresh face, remember the rich taste
You want a part at the cost of it all, so you open your flick knife
And lop off a thick slice
Envy makes the flyer fall
The only way to kill this breed is stuff its face, let him feed
Piling the plate, pushing the load, make him eat 'til he explodes
The only way to kill this breed is stuff its face, let him feed
Piling the plate, pushing the load, make him eat 'til he explodes
I'll never feed you again
Hello
Swig from the bottle, now who's sucking who
You'd prefer the nipple, but your teeth have cut through
Defects we're born with, but poisons we choose
He' s not there, just a gap in the air
He's not there, just the smell of despair
He's not there
Pill-popping and a pint-pulling
And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending
Pill-popping and a pint-pulling
And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending
Pill-popping and a knife-pulling
People come knocking, but there's no one at home
Did you get my call, oh you haven't a phone
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
Don't look in your eyes, you are miles away
He's not there he's really not there
Oh, people come knocking but there's no one at home
Did you get my call, oh you haven't a phone
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
Why is it always, when I open my mouth
I clash with whatever you do
When we dance together your rhythm and tempo
Cuts through my quick step and tune
You cry, I, I, can't take anymore
But you can't find the bloody door
Oh you might think we're free
'Til we slip back into memory
We're joined by a purpose that will not release us
'Til we have come to some terms
Some love and acceptance, not hate and repentance
These skills are things to be learned
You cry, I, I, can't take anymore
But you can't find the bloody door
Oh you might think we're free
'Til we slip back into memory
I love you so
I'm stuck, can't you let go
Let's try again
This time we will be friends
I cannot change
All my tracks have been laid
Playin' the game
It's just, it's just a memory
Lost in memory

Operator the lines are down
And I'm a traitor
A traitor to a beautiful cause
God made me to her own design
Bad planing
Too many floors
How long will it take to get used to me?
How long will it take to get used to me?
Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Oh yes I love
But today I could hate you
I could hurt you
Cause we're joined at the heart
Beats faster, hits harder
Than a boxer
Whenever we are apart
Body language is an SOS
I don't understand how our fights start
Not enough
Too believe in love
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where we've gone wrong
How long will it take to get used to me?
How long will it take to get used to me?
Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
No we won't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Operator
The lines are down
And I'm a traitor
To a beautiful cause
God made me
To her
Own design
Bad planning
Too many floors
I've got too many floors
Too many floors
Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
Scared to be alone
Frightened of the dark
Everything's too much
For a boy out of touch with his feelings
I must be to blame
I must be at fault
I believe I'm never good enough
To shine a light that lingers
I have witnessed starbursts in your coal
black eyes
I am what I try to deny
I have seen the serpent coiling set to strike
And love is the usual disguise
Pleased to meet you
Where you from
And what's your name?
Never came alive
Never cut the cord
Nothing is too much for a boy out of touch
With his feelings
Worshipping the moonshine
Skinning up the grapevine
I don't have a plan where I'm going
I just follow my fingers
I will be the burning man
To grace these times
I am what I try to deny
I reflect the same eyes looking back at me
And love is the only reply
Pleased to meet you
Where you from and what's your name
We're more than enough
Dead Ringers
Pleased to meet you
Where you from
And what's your name ?
What's your name ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a fight, there's a fight, there's a fight
And the rage is growin'
You have pushed me through too many windows and too many doors
You have torn all the joy from my heart and my body shows it
The only beats you allow around here are the beat of war
Let's have a party
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
Don't go out with that smile tonight or you might get arrested
Get a license for that grin or they'll lock you away
If you show that you're happy inside then you're gonna get busted
The only law we allow around here is an organized raid
Let's have a party
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
What are you gonna do when the muscle wont move when they are lockin you up
Blockin the light
How many words will you waste on the telephone
What are you gonna do when the muscle wont move when they are lockin you up
How many words will you waste on the telephone
Lets lets lets
Have a party
And you can bring your gun
And you can bring your shinny new helicopter
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
Lets have a party
I nearly died when you jumped in
But you had to drown before you could swim
All the people on the beach, they were so impressed
That they wanted to join you but no they wouldn¡¯t undress
Oh there, that wetness, splashed their skin
So they prayed for a whirlpool to pull you in
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
So they looked away and they tried to pretend
That it was for you, but no it wasn¡¯t for them
Now the fear of sinking remains in place
But it¡¯s this fear of failure that a real disgrace
Ya ho
Ya ho
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
To get over you wall
To get over you wall
Heads in the sand, sea out of reach
Swept away by the games of the beach
Those people sat and watched your stand
While the wait of their fears pulled them underground
Will anyone learn from the stories that are told
Of the tribe who drown in a grave of gold
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
I see your heads down
Someone¡¯s calling
Put you heads down
Someone¡¯s drowning
Look up see what¡¯s fit for your eyes
Some escaping on someone drowning
Your head is underground
Your head is underground
Your head is underground
Your head is under the ground
Hitching a ride with the sandman
He¡¯ll bury your head in his hands
Turn into a bland man
Where will you make your stand?
Hup springs, the voice in man
The prophet calls, the master¡¯s plan
You resist his true demands
It¡¯s an inner thing that calls at you
Makes you do what you must do
A voice you can ignore
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
But I would rather not go, I would rather stay home
I would rather not go, I would rather stay home
And eat and sleep and think and eat
And eat and sleep and think and eat
Rather not go, rather stay at
Rather not go, rather stay at home
If there¡¯s someone outside to see you
You can always run away
But when there¡¯s something inside does the calling
There¡¯s nowhere you can hide
Jump down an open stair
Fire escape, to the frame and air
Hiding away from the wrong despair
It¡¯s and inner thing that calls at you
Makes you do what you must do
A voice you can¡¯t ignore
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
But I would rather not go, I would rather stay home
I¡¯d rather not go, I would rather stay home
Where I will eat and sleep and think and eat
And eat and sleep and think and eat
Talk to friends having oh such fun
Watching late night television
Other side of midnight
Mike Tyson¡¯s feat
Donahue and Nighbeat
Jifeman sends my girlfriend to sleep
And eat
And eat
And eat, and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat...
Sleep and eat, sleep and eat...
Drifting through the atmosphere
Through the afterglow
Witnessing one thousand lies
I'll blow, where the wind blows
Falling in between the lines
Never fitting in
Someone tells me what's my crime
Too thin
I'm too thin
Due to come back down due to come back down
Don't wanna, don't wanna land
Due to come back down, due to come back down
I don't wanna, don't wanna land
Don't wanna, don't wanna, land
Land
Land
This time I've a staring role
Hide the shape I'm in
I'm too old to sacrifice for gold, and skin
For gold
And skin
For gold
For gold
I don't want to come back down, don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Doctor what is happening to me?
Palpitations, my mind is diseased
Even my vision is impaired
I'm losing my hair
Cause when I hold her in my arms I feel like Fred Astaire
Lovesick, my temperature's high
Just met a girl, who believes we can fly
I'm a bull, not a bear
I'm a millionaire
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire
I believe in happiness
I believe in love
I believe she fell to earth from somewhere high above
I believe in Hollywood
Don't believe that love must bring despair
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire
Who said love is just a disease
A plague for the naive
These days no one believes
Meteors may strike the earth
Nations live and die
I'm the boy who got the girl
And now we're gonna fly
We can cross the race divide
Bridge a gap that wasn't really there
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire
I'm gonna hold her in my arms, just like Fred Astaire
I'm gonna hold her in this charm, like Fred Astaire
Like Fred Astaire
Like Fred Astaire
Like Fred Astaire
There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling ";come on thunder, come on thunder";
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars
Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome
Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else
Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore
The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign
And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching
The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
There's four new colors in the rainbow
An old man's taking polaroids
But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain
He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his
And I swear I can hear the sea
Somtimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul
(I can reach your soul)
(I can touch your soul)
Sometimes
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of
Come to bed
Come to bed
Come to bed
I cannot sleep in all this heat
Come to bed
Come to bed
This terror's all within my head
Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of
Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
Heart of gold heart of gold heart of gold
One body in my mother's belly
Chinese dolls, box in boxes
How do you sail the ship from the bottle?
How do you sail the ship from the bottle?
Heart of gold heart of gold heart of gold
Gold, gold mother, gold, gold, gold mother
I can see the head now
Between her legs now
Purple headed alien
Water logged old man
In the blood silence
In the blood silence
Silence, silence
Cry for me mother cry for me mother Crimean mother cry me another
My feet and hands won't work
My feet and hands won't work
In my baby's body
My brand new baby's body
I'll suck my fingers red
I'll suck my fingers red
In my baby's body
My brand new baby's body
I can see the head now
Between her legs now
Purple headed alien
Water logged old man
In the blood silence
In the blood silence
Silence
Silence
Silence
Shut up
In the bright lights and harsh sounds, there's a man
In green ceremonial robes and mask, dipping a straw through your nose
Mouthwash of meconium lungs full of meconium
Heart full of meconium
Meconium
Meconium
Chinese dolls in boxes
Chinese dolls in boxes
I'll go out the same way I came in
Chinese dolls in boxes
And everything you touch
And everything you love
And everything you touch
Turns to gold
As precious as
As rich as
As dear as
As strong as
As hard as
Gold
Mother
Past the boudaries of all pain
You journey to the edge of death in search of a child
Gold mother there's only one
Gold mother and she's mine
She's all mine
Shut up let's hear it
Shut up

Brave face, and English illusion
Stiff lips soft and creamy inside
I'm hip to your pain and confusion
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
I swore I would always be with you
But now I'm afraid of your tears
I fear that you might take me with you
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
I've grinned my way through beatings
I've smiled my way through school
But underneath this grinning
Is the sadness of the fool
No longer know my feelings
Been fooling for too long
Borne of desperation in an effort to look strong
Look strong, look strong
Hey there monkey face you look so strong
That joke could crack you with laughter
Release from the edge of despair
Success is the god that I'm after
In jokes, I'm a millionaire
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
At school he always had to hide
His feelings buried deep inside
A poker face, his features froze
At 12 he looked like William Burroughs
He talked but never moved his lips
Made love but never used his hips
His skin unused fell to decay
From fleshy pink to ashen grey
It's enough to crack a smile
It's enough to make you blind
It's enough to make you live your life backwards
It's enough to drive you out of your mind
And he became a figurehead
A 3-D sign that might be dead
And no one knew his state of mind
He fell into the great divide
It's enough to crack a smile
It's enough to leave you blind
At school he always had to hide
His feelings buried deep inside
A poker face, his features froze
At 12 he looked like William Burroughs
William Burroughs
William Burroughs
William Burroughs
Burroughs
Burroughs
Burroughs
Today, I won't think of any sad things
Will not think of torture, or the rape of nature
Just today, I won't touch those sickening papers
Will just let myself get swept away by this beautiful day
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
The sunset tonight is beyond all words, in the sky above the square
The starling spiral dancing on air.
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
I will pass through the glass into air past those birds
In the square, I am sun, I am sky in my mind's eye
Today, I will dive into foaming seas
Sick fish, myself, and some strange debris.
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
Oh I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
What for, tell oh me tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
I will pass through the glass into air past those birds
In the square I am sun I am sky
What for, tell oh me tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
I've been a fool again
Won't let it show
I've been a fool again
Don't let it, don't let it grow
Hold my heart I can't feel
Hold my heart I can't feel
Now I have stolen poison fruit
It makes me weak
And my baby's gonna leave me for some creep
But if you work your miracle,
work your miracle
I can see
If you work your miracle,
work your miracle
I can see
Cos my baby's gonna leave me for some thief
For baby she is hard
To deceive
I've been a fool again
Don't let it grow
Hold my heart I can't feel
Hold my heart only when I bleed
Broken it's all broken
What is it good for
What is it good for
Broken
Don't know what's good for me
Don't know what's good for me
But if you work your miracle
Work your miracle I can see
If you work your miracle
Work your miracle I can seeeeeeeeeee
Why so close
Big boys in black hats
Cowboys with white guns
White guns shoot blue white
Blue white baptism
No buffaloes
No Indians
No more buffaloes
Red sky is falling
Blue blood no stalling
White heat will strip you
No time to run far
(refrain 1)
Ivan's built a wall of lead 'round his house
Nobody can get in or out
Running out of food for ammunition
Frightened of the darkness
Sending out scouts
Why hang the fire so close
Why hang the fire so close
Why hang the fire so close
Why so close
(refrain 2)
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Wore headphones since he was born
Watches Ivan through dark glasses
Hand on his gun waiting for the storm
One false move and we all fall down
No funeral games, no such fun
Here's your ticket to the party
That's what you get for playing with a gun
Six-gun so close
(refrain 1)
Ivan's got a wall of lead 'round his house
Nobody can get in or out
Running out of food for ammunition
Frightened of the darkness
Sending out scouts
(refrain 2)
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Wore headphones since he was born
Watches Ivan through dark glasses
Hands on his gun waiting for the storm
Why stand the fire so close (Why)
Why stand the fire so close (Why)
Why stand the fire so close (Why)
Why?
This is not, this is not, a song
This is a shield, this is a charm, with your name on
By this beat, by this verse, I'm protected
From your heat, and your curse, is reflected
If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Your green eyes, poison pen, serpent's tongue
Will return to the source that they came from
Revenge is the wine
Forgiveness is fine
Forgiveness divine
Revenge is more human
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
No words, all's been said and done
No more words, all's been said and done
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
There's a knocking at my window
Not one for yes but two for no
Some spirit is unsatisfied
From watching her world spin out of control
At night she goes walking around her old home
Objecting to how it's all changed
She preferred her arrangements to the ones which we have made
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
There's baggage on my shoulders
Making me stoop bending my frame
My neck is crocked lopsided
I will never be tall again
At night she goes walking around her old home
You can feel so much sadness wrapped up in her bones
I can feel so much sadness wrapped up in her bones
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
I'm sensitive to unkindness
Stab in the back burn in the ribs
I need your fingers to straighten my flesh
I hope your fingers are kind
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Please believe me when I'm crying
My sincere apologies
You had faith
I was lying
How indiscreet
Couldn't save myself from the calling of my flesh
Desire turned out much stronger than belief
In a stranger's arms I finally found some rest
Undertaker, undertaker
Everywhere I look is Satan
Making cash and laughing back at me
I'm afraid it's my reflection
Am I deceived?
Couldn't save myself from the calling of my flesh
Desire turned out much stronger than belief
In a stranger's arms I finally found some rest
Undertaker, undertaker
Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker
Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker
I've become possessed
But that's special
And by the Lord I'm blessed
In ecstasy
And all my choices disappear
And I'm special
While the people hold me dear
Are you following me?
Are you following me?
Now I can feel some spirit entering me
And I am hoping it's God I receive
But I am open to be deceived
Are you following me?
Are you following me?
Undertaker, undertaker
Say Something
You're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone
Why do you hide
Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind
Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
You've got to come down soon
More than a drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life
Say something, say something anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind
Say something
I'm open wide, open wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Tonight
I had this dream but my vision was cracked
Drifting away you said you're not coming back
You're moving out while I'm flat on my back
What are you doing to me
You're making me happy
I was always sad
Whenever I'm happy my dreams are sad
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
We must go on now there's no turning back
Kiss my defences with one of those counter attacks
I'm exposed, shown you too much
Now you're invading my dreams
Making me happy
I was always sad
Afraid to be happy, that's so sad
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Something's burning in my kitchen
Stop that smiling, something's smoking
Soon be crying, soon be broken
Fire, fire, fire
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
He said I must be dreaming
But I thought I heard the sound
The sound that lovers make
As they drop down from the window
Quiet as cats, across the courtyard
Moving from shadow to shadow
Past the guards to the forest
So quiet in her still reflection
Drawing them down, drawing them down to the lake
To the centre of her attention
Steal the moon tonight
Before the morning
Steal the moon tonight
I just love a good mystery
And on the West Bank a boat is being pulled
Across the sands they move so softly
Slip into water
Oars dip, don't break the moon's reflection
And drift like a cloud
To the centre
Beneath her cool attention
Still water
Still water
Steal the moon tonight
Before the morning
Steal the moon tonight
I want to drown in your moon dream
I've seen you rising from shore to shore
I want to drown in your moon dream
I've seen you rising
Steal the moon tonight
Shine
Shine
Shine
Lost my house, lost my love
Swept away in a raging flood
I... I'm still alive
I believe God is testing me,
But I can't take what the Lord decrees
I... I'm still alive
On a Monday life was swell,
By Wednesday I'm in Hell
But I'm still alive
Bankers came to move me on
So strapped for cash, I had to sell this song
I... I'm still alive
Doctor told me I've a terrible disease
The dog's run off and the cat's got fleas
I... I'm still alive
On a Monday life was swell
By Wednesday I'm in Hell
But I'm still alive
By the Thursday life was sad
By Good Friday life's too bad
But I'm still alive
Out the window, four vultures on a tree
Licking their beaks and they're talking about me
I... I'm still alive
The view from here's breathtaking
My visions all surrounding
The humans look like insects
There is only one way down
But it's cold and lonely in this stratosphere
Gliding through the darkness
Where is my craft leading to
Am I damned or blessed?
Don't let go on top of the world
Don't let go on top of the world
Will my good friends desert me
Or will they prove themselves?
Are my demands all greedy
Or are they what I need?
If I will not be faithful
I must accept betrayal
When your turn comes to leave me
Will my free ways have failed?
Don't let go on top of the world
Don't let go on top of the world
I'll meet you inside this hollow world
I'll meet you inside
Hollow world, hollow world
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
When the world swallows whole all you've known
There are no landmarks you can recognise
Where is the jewel that will never fade
Will not decay with old age
Maybe a death, maybe the depression
Those things you thought you could lean on
Are suddenly just an impression
Well, if you put your trust in things of dust
You're gonna feel the pain of loss
The pain of loss
When the world swallows whole all you have known
There are no landmarks you can recognise
We've got no understanding of this body's needs
We've got no understanding of real philosophy
We've got no understanding of mortality
So we keep putting our trust in things that rust
And then we feel the pain of loss
Keep putting our trust in things that rust
And then I feel the pain of loss
Tongue split
In the night
I woke up in blood
Red sheets
Wrapped tight
Dreamt I was drowning in mud
Now there¡¯s a beast in my mouth
It¡¯s out of control
Beats with will of its own
Broken my teeth withdraw my gums
I think that it¡¯s taken control
Spits out your emotion
Left a deep impression
Expression
Expression, makes me feel more expression
Life changed
That night
As rip chord took command
Spit balls
All the abuse
Were more than friends could stand
Now I don¡¯t think before I speak
I open my mouth to see
What comes out
A whisper or a shout
Some sanity or a scream
Spits out raw emotion
Looking for a deeper expression
Expression
Expression
Expression
Expression, makes me feel more... expression
That be me says it all
That be me has it all
Expression
Expression
Put your hand inside this dream
Tip the scale, release this dream
Going down on a rolling wave
I'll pack the flag before I hit the ground
I can hear your thoughts arise
>From these depths to creamy skies
Driftin round, the waters cool
Let the waves cover you
The surface storm shows nothing free
The surface is calm the water is clear
I've been shot
In the wherewithals
And I don't think I can stop
From all this hullabaloo
Mary Jane's
On the game again
Seratonin's all I use
I just wish it were true
Don't treat me like a God
Treat me like a dog
I'll come home to you, to you
To you
I'm addicted to you
You're my love, my senorita
I'm addicted to you
Hope we're gonna pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the love that makes me younger
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can pull through
Pull through
Sing a prayer
Lonely nights are here
If I can't square my fears
With what I wanna do
Don't treat me like a God
Treat me like a dog
I'll come home to you, to you
To you
I'm addicted to you
You're my love, my senorita
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the love that makes me stronger
I'm addicted to you
I hope we gonna pull through
Pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're my love, my senorita
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the god that makes me stronger
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can turn blue
Turn blue
Ape your father's sins, your mother's mood swings
To perfection
Fall into a spin, shed another skin
Strip away all your protection
Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break the fall
And you see the gathering clouds
Cry at the sadness of the world
Cry so long you break it's cold
And you hear the gathering sounds
Do everything you fear
In this there's power
Fear is not to be afraid of
Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break your fall
And you hear the gathering sounds
Come, dip on in
Leave your bones, leave your skin
Leave your past, leave your craft
----------------------------------------------------
Blow me away
Was that love you declared
Only a word love can mean anything
Understand the world we're livin in
Oceans apart
What's that view from your way
Beautiful craft
Weather and change
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
God made love to me
Soothed away my gravity
Gave me a pair of angels wing
Clear vision and some magic things
God made love to me
Thank you for those things
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Darling I'm open
And darling unbroken
Now we done our time
We can drift away
Like the heavy cloud
With the weight of rain
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Before you, no direction
Before I, came on in
Before you, let your doubts down
The wall, we're closing in
We're closing in
Adore you, no protection
Ignore you, it can't be done
To make do, with a safer option
A breakthrough, two to one
Two to one
And I hope I'm not shooting my mouth off
Again
And I pray I'm not tempting the fates
When I say we can go on forever
It's a date
It's a date
(Here she comes)
Yes I know that I love to seem foolish
(Here she comes)
Like now
Yes I know that love hardly lasts
(Here she comes)
(Here she comes)
And it's hard to receive that we're happy
(Here she comes)
Here's my heart
Here's my heart
Here she comes
----------------------------------------------
Ring the bells
Wake the town
Everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd
Wake them up
This angers deeper than sleep.
Got to keep awake to what is happening.
I can't see a thing through my ambitions,
I no longer feel like God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me.
Break the code.
Concentrate.
Let the doors swing open
See through all your walls
All your floors
Now you're in deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what is happening.
I can't see a thing through my ambitions,
I no longer feel like God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me.
When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I'm as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I'm as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit's free
There's nothing challenging me.
Oh dear what can the matter be
Princess, dreaming again
Fearful, live life more easily
Darkness, leave her in peace
Always wanting help
Will make you weak
No such place has help
But in your dreams
Climb out of your well
Protect me
Protect me
Angel, what is possessing me
Feeling, making me weak
Falling under your spell again
Wanting, love's out of reach
Climb out of your well
It's not so deep
The price of living life
Is not so steep
No such place has hel
PProtect me
Protect me
Here they come again, here they come again, here they come again
Always wanting help
Will make you weak
The price of loving life
Does not come cheap
Climb out of your well
Protect me
Protect me
I'm so alone tonight
My bed feels larger than when I was small
Lost in memories
Lost in all the sheets and old pillows
So alone tonight
Miss you more than I will let you know
Miss the outline of your back
Miss you breathing down my neck
They're all out to get you
Once again they are all out to get you
Once again
Insecure, what you gonna do
Feel so small they could step on you
Called you up, answering machine
When the human touch
Is what is need
What I need (X4)
Is you
I need you
Looked in the mirror, I don't know who I am anymore
The face is familiar
But the eyes, the eyes give it all away
They're all out to get you
Once again they're all out to get you
Here they come again (X8)
Insecure what you gonna do
Feel so small they could step on you
Called you up, answering machine
When the human touch
Is what I need
What I need (X8)
Is you (X6)
If you let me breathe (X5)
They're all out to get you
Once again
To get you
You were one
One of the three
One in three must find some peace
You were one
One of the three
I need proof before belief
Oh well, you just knew they'd come for you
So it was suicide, suicide
Oh well, you got just what you wanted
I hope your satisfied
One of the three (X4)
You were one
One of the three
One in three must find some peace
Oh well I guess your not to blame for what they've done in your name
In your name
Oh well, it's a shame you got so famous just for a sacrafice
One fo the three (X8)
You were one
One of the three
One in three must find some peace
Send forth your lamb to the slaughter
Send forthyour lamb to the slaughter
You send forthyour lamb to the slaughter
You're a weapon of devotion
Keep the faithful entertained
You're a lover of attention
Found a way to pawn the soul
Disposition may be fetching
But the world moves on and leaves you far behind
I hear you, I hear you, whispering such gorgeous stories
I see you, I see you, trying to break free
You liar, you liar, you can't live the dreams you're spinning
You liar, love to be deceived
You're falling, you're falling, falling from your god-like distance
You're fashion, just fashion, fashion doesn't keep
You're sour, so sour, all is hope and trust is misplaced
You're sour, now you are alone
Walking on fire, feel the way the world's inclining
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me
My son says, dear father, what did you do when the world turned over
Keep spinning, keep spinning, send us off to sleep
You liar, you liar, all your words are just dust in moonshine
You liar, love to be deceived
Walking on fire, found a place away from humans
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me
There¡¯s a Malayan stripper of sex unknown
Some Siamese twins from a broken home
Maria¡¯s party, what a show going down
Maria loves her life, but she¡¯ll show you how
There¡¯s a strong man tearing himself into pieces
A magician who will spin you on the end of his spinderly fingers
There¡¯s a show going on
Maria loves her life, she¡¯ll show you how, how, how
There¡¯s a high wire act on the telephone wire
And another Buddhist monk has set himself on fire
There¡¯s a fakir outside being buried alive
Maria¡¯s mad aunt has yet to arrive
A dahlia that dances, and a frog with wings,
A bear in a tutu that just loves to sing, karaoke
Maria loves her life, and that¡¯s all, and that¡¯s all, and that¡¯s all.
La La La La La La La etc.
You will love her forever when the scene hits your town
La La La La La La La etc.
You will love her forever
You will all love her forever
Maria¡¯s Party
And that¡¯s all.
Since your mother cast her spell
Every kiss has left a bruise
You've been raiding too much meaning from existence
Now your head is used and sore
And the forecast is for more
Memories falling, like falling rain
Falling rain
Every view they hold on you's
A piano, out of tune
You're an angel
You're a demon
You're just human
Now your world has turned to trash
Broken windows on the past
Take that child and teach him senseless
Damage the dream, damage the dream
I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
In this gloomy, haunted place
All the feelings are of shame
All the windows have been broken by the children
So the wind screams up the stairs
Slams the doors and rattles chairs
I wish we weren't conceived in violence
Damage the dream, damage the dream
The magic is broken
The house is in ruins
Your memory's one-sided
The side that you're choosing feels nothing
Feels nothing at all
We feel nothing at all
I'm a member of an ape-like race at the asshole end of the 20th century
This film's a thriller of the mind
Will we destroy our homes, release ourselves from the weights of gravity
I'll be amazed if we survive
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
This race to space we're on to release ourselves from the weights of gravity
Our highs are higher than our lows
This world's a state of mind and I can hear your thoughts much too clearly
>From slime to ape we'll learn to fly
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Oh we're so powerful
Watch these giants collide
So individual
Will we ever find peace of mind
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Chocolate, kisses, Pokemon
Hit em while they're young, it's true
She needs lovers round the block
He works around the clock, it's true
I know it's gonna make it better
Just know it's gonna make it better
We can hold the light of grace
Instead we flake and choose to lose
TV, football, sex and killing
Without war, life's not worth living
We play our games with knowing smiles
Unattached we can choose
We choose to lose it every time
Now were heading for a fall
And a double takes it all
A stranger rolls a double 5
And everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know it's gonna make it better
Just know it's gonna make it better
I'm so wound up in my own ball
I loved my life so small
I've lived a life so small
I've done my best
It's time to crawl sideways
To crawl sideways
To leave this apparition
To leave this apparition doll
'Cos everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a Junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Everyone's a junkie
Everyone's a junkie
This songs made up, made second rate
Cosmetic music, powderpuff
Pop tunes, false rhymes, all lightweight bluffs
Second-hand ideas, no soul, no hate
Wasn't mean to be
Built on complacency
The nightmares ride away
When you refuse to play
Oh go and read a book
It's so much more worth while
Being a song-smith crook
Study death in style
Death in style
This language used is all worn out
A walking corpse that won't play dead
Disease dragged on from bed to bed
Pay for your twist, paid for shout
Wasn't meant to be
Built on complacency
Open your eyes and see
That lie is not for we
Raise a rope and a knife
Cut it out - the lie
I don't want to decay
Take the short cut away
Oh go and read a book
It's so much more worthwhile
Being a song-smith crook
Study death in style
Study death in style
Heard you calling through the drumbeat
Answered with sticks and bones
Scream, shout, and dance about the campfire
You can hear the question, can you feel the reply?
Heard you calling through the drumbeat
Heard you calling through the drumbeat
Can you hear the question, feel the reply?
Can you hear the question, feel the reply?
Hymn from a village
Slow down, my brother, your life is passing fast
Will you remember all these scenes that you've passed
So long, so long
Speeding past sunset, blurring from town to town
Faces I forget, hotels all look the same
Worn down the knuckle too far
So long, so long
Lost are your colors, now life's in black and white
Steals from a movie, this life's a trick of the light
Worn down the knuckle too far
Worn down
City of strangers, you seem so tired to me
Don't think I'll stay here, you don't seem friendly
I'll keep on moving, searching for peace of mind
Rivers unwinding maybe I'll find it this time
So long, so long
So long
Live from my suitcase, my life's within my hands
Sleep in a strange bed, hometown's a foreign land
man 1:
I don't like the world I see
So I'll avert my gaze to the TV
I'm too cool to get involved
Someone else can change the channel for me
man 2:
Gonna suck the juices out of this world
Gonna treat her rough
It's all she deserves
She's so cold to me
Gonna rape this world
With my straight lines
Gonna straighten her out
Because nature is just history
There's a hole in my heart
Your so cruel to me
There's a hole in my heart
>From your industry
There's a hole in my heart
man 1:
It's no use to get involved
You'll never stop the world from turning
I just want to rest in peace
I can't stop the world from burning
man 2:
Gonna test my bombs wherever I want,
Gonna poon the whale
Gonna drain the swamp
It's money to me
Gonna fuck with genes
I am what I am
Much more than a God
Much less than a man of industry
There's a hole in my heart
Your so cruel to me
There's a hole in my heart
>From the industry
I've been sitting on top of these rocks
Watching the waters rise
Everyone that I have loved has gone floating by
I've been praying for the king of the world to come rescue me
From a land that's lost in dreams
From a land that's lost in dreams
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Waiting for the depend, the depend, the depend
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Waiting for the depend, the depend, the depend
I've been looking through microscopes to see how our life begins
I've been training my lens on the stars to see where it ends
But it's this living in between that's bringing me down
To a land that's lost in dreams
To a land that's lost in dreams
To a land that's lost in dreams
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Waiting for the depend, the depend, the depend
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Waiting for the depend, the depend, the depend
Well they said you are as good as you look but that
Would be impossible
For you look even better than the face of god on a sunny day
You look good enough to eat but I've had a bellyful
And now I have this bill but I don't wanna pay
How was it for you
Do you really need that drink to disarm defences
Can you ever face the flak when you're in control
Well I don't believe my luck I am defenceless
Do with me what you want but don't tell a soul
Don't tell my soul
How was it for you
If you ain't out of your head can you ever enjoy yourself
But if you ain't in your head then who's at home?
I'm so possessed by sex I could destroy my health
We could be dancing over coals and we'd never know
We'd never know
How was it for you
Where did you get those clothes
Are you sure they're still fashionable?
The sell by date says 68
Where did you steal those riffs and that bad attitude
You are traveling back in time to an altered state
How was it for you
Was it as good as it was for me
Well that's the best it's ever been
And you're the best I've ever seen
How was it for you
How was it for you?
What's a gene between good friends
Said the monkey to the king
If you think yourself superior
You'll never learn a thing
Don't believe you're here to stay
Life gets you in the end
It's time to find out who you are
You lie and I'll pretend
What a life the lady cried
I've seen so many things
A range of human beings
From criminals to kings
All my life I've really tried
To treat them all the same
They travel the same journey
From the cradle through to grave

Break down the goverment walls
Speak in tongues, power is money
I see our interests fall
Well behind their curtain
Break down the government walls
Infiltrate our television
Break down the government walls
Time to be outspoken
I can hear the sound of falling masonry
As they try to plug that leak
I am tempted by their cloak of secrecy
To find out what their games are about
Ask a question and they'll talk of secret services
Secrets from the people they should serve
When they can hide their crimes in a legal disguise
Truth will not be seen nor heard
In Ireland they may shoot to kill without
Warning you
Or lock you away for a while without trial
And if an honest cop gets to close to the
Truth of it
They'll set him up in style in style
In China, they murder
Their youth
Who are questioning
How their lives are controlled
Do they have the means to rewrite history
Wipe out the genes of doubt
Bring down the government walls
Bring them down within my lifetime
Let's see the curtain drawn
See what they are concealing
Bring down the government walls
Crime to be outspoken
It's a crime to be outspoken
Ease your lips into a velvet kiss
While I enfold you
Move your hands across this promised land
The seekers guided by the pole star
Say the words why don't you say the words
I have been waiting long to hear
Please fall in love with me
Drift with me upon an endless sea
We are divine in the realm of these senses
Every move has been subterfuge
While we pretend that we really dont care
Lose your fear we may be strangers here
But I can feel we might be one
Please fall in love with me
I hear the sound of moons falling
Surrender to this charm
I breeze across your soul darling
Deep eternity
Lost your mind well don't you think its time
To swim away from the saftey of these beaches
Trust the tides they know which way to flow
And don't you long to flow so far
Moved in waves we've never felt before
Till we are floating way out deep
Please fall in love with me
Please fall in love with me
Please, with me
No more you choose to sue for peace where once for war
The mind ingrained can't hear the call
You have so many friends cheering you along
Don't turn a deaf ear to their song
As your world is turning you're holding on
Give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
We keep on fighting to maintain our father's place
This time line never finds an end in revenge
Here comes an open heart to blow it all away
As your world is turning you're holding on
Give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
As your world is turning you're holding on
Give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
As your world is turning you're holding on
Give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
As your world is turning you're holding on
Just give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
When you took me in your arms
I knew I'd revive
You breathe me in so deeply
You took my hand as the music began
I knew I could dance if you let me
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
The snake is poised and is held by your noise
You charm the life out of demons
You kept me up there with a web of your hair
My spun my life into meaning
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
I've seen your stars so many lives
You seem to shine forever
Do you remember the time
Do you remember the time
Our memories held us together
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody hopes for so much healin
See your face in windows
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Baby's on the lamb tonight
Her skies all full of stars
And love's just something that always goes wrong
That looks and smokes like Ava Gardner
Baby's gonna blow your lights
Adjust your back - lit charm
And if she deems to touch your heart
You can tune into your senses
Baby's coming alive to her wild side
She can burn down the lie to the dream
Baby trades you blow for blow
Crowns you like a queen
But if you stroke her long enough
Baby turns to cream
Baby's neptune's in your moon
Venus in your third
She's in bloom from June through June
Says, ";love's no noun. love's a reverb";
Baby's coming alive to her wild side
She can burn down the lie to the dream
Are you open for trade
Your salvation, for something, for some thrills
Is a body of work for your inspection
You can trace, trace my concern
My concern
I've been looking for truth
At the cost of living
I've been afraid
Of what's before mine eyes
Every answer found
Begs another question
The further you go, the less you know
The less I know
I can feel your face
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man
I see in your eyes
Can you take my weight
Are we both too small
Know each other well
We've met before
Will we grow together
Will it be a lie
If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die
Will you marry me, Can we meet the cost
Is the power of love worth the pain of loss
Can you pay the bill, will you keep the change
Are you here for the party, or are you here for the pain
I can feel your face
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man
I see in your eyes
Will we grow together
Will it be a lie
If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die
Hope I'm the first to die
She dreampt the scene the night before
She cast you in her mind
She made your face of clay and straw
Precious stones for your eyes
We cut the cord that brought you here
We left you on your own
We filled your head with wild ideas
Our beliefs led you on
We leave a trail that's always changed
To keep your hopes alive
This surface may seem calm enough, but underneath
But underneath
We made you feel the way you are is wrong
We made you what you are
You are afraid
If you don't play the game we'll make you change
Ohhh I'll change (X7)
I'll change
I can't believe this happening.
I held it back and now it swings.
Just lead me on.
You know the way.
I know the game
I know the pain
I've been dreaming of gold
I've been dreaming of fame
I've been dreaming of change
Dreaming up tomorrow
Dreaming up tomorrow
Tomorrow.
I have no fear, I have no shame,
But everyone is on the game.
They talk of dreams, they walk in sleep
I'm half away but in too deep
I've been dreaming of fame
I've been dreaming of gold
I've been dreaming of change
Dreaming up tomorrow
Dreaming up tomorrow
Tomorrow.
America is dreaming us.
In a hostage's hands there'll be no fuss.
A messy dream, a dream of youth,
A dream of wealth, no room for truth.
I can see all these preachers and they're standing on next to me.
A hand in the hand and they're waving at me furiously
And I don't know why
No, I don't know why.
I'm standing on the corner and this man is coming up to me
With Bible at his hand and he is bashing at me furiously.
He has a soapbox on his head and says that god is dead to me
I don't know why No,
I don't know why.
I've been dreaming of fame
I've been dreaming of gold
I've been dreaming of change
Dreaming up tomorrow
Tomorrow.
Here she comes with a gun in her hand
A look in her eyes, says you don't understand
And the moon is full, what are you gonna do?
A gun in her hand makes her feel like a man, ooh
Her man is a monkey we've all agreed
This woman's a saint, or at least she's a queen
But if you mess with this angel, the harpy arrives
Talons and wings and a cute 45
He's only human, he's only male
Bound to stray, bound to betrayal
The moon is rising, it's a physical thing
Nothing can hold him, not even the ring
She's only human, only female
Bound to victim, bound to betrayal
The moon is rising, it's a physical thing
She's only acting on the rite of spring
Here she comes with a gun in her hand
A look in her eyes says she don't understand
And the womb is full, what are you gonna do?
A gun in her hand makes her feel like a man, ooh
It's that time again when I lose my friends
Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure
This is a testing time when the choice is mine
Am I a fool for love or foolish with desire
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
but the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
After thirty years I've become my fears
I've become the kind of man I always hated
I am in love insane with a sense of shame
That I threw stones at the condemned and
Now I'm slated
I may have paid for sex but I was blessed by love
In this land that's ruled by gods of lust and money
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
but the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
She said, "Jimmy, just you shut your mouth"
She said, "Shh"
I could escape this feeling with my China girl
I am just a wreck without my little China girl
I hear her heart beat 'loud as thunder
I see stars crashing down
I'm a mess without my China girl
Wake up mornings there's no China girl
I hear hearts beating 'loud as thunder
I see stars crashing down
I feel a tragic like I was Marlon Brando
When I look at my China girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men
Who want to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
"Oh, dear, just you shut your mouth"
She says, "Shh"
She says, "Shh"
A diva, a leaver, a lawyer, imagine, imagine
A fever, a vision, derision, imagine, imagine
Someone got hurt, someone got high
Someone got left behind the lies
Someone got hurt, someone got high
Some of them left the rest behind
All of your mail is unaddressed
Cut the Herman free from the Hesse
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash
A letter, a photo, etcetera, etcetera, a Judas
A hotel, a motel, a motive, imagine, imagine
Someone got hurt, someone got high
Someone got left behind the lies
Someone got hurt, someone got high
Some of them left the rest behind
All of your mail is unaddressed
Cut the Herman free from the Hesse
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash
This is hell, this is hell
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
High voice, deep inside
Witness what you think you hide
I will race you through emotions
If you let me in
I made an armour plated suit
You put your lips to helmet slits
Try to suck me out the tin
I can't get out, I'm welded in
I'd run away, too brave for tears
Or sitting still to see
What lives behind the enemy lines
When you have torn away the screen
High voice, deep inside
Witness what you think you hide
I will race you through emotions
If you let me in
That body's naked as the mind
The bruises mark the site of blows
Inside my suit my body's fine
When I last looked like mine
I'd run away, too brave for tears
Or sitting still to see
What lives behind the enemy lines
When you have torn away the screen
I'm going deeper and deeper in debt
Deeper and deeper in debt
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper in debt
I'm not the only one in chains
I hear you creaking when it rains
Under pressure, under stress
I see you through your holy vest
That body's naked as you mind
When I last looked, it looked like mine
Oh look at the chain mail and his body guard
Look at the chain mail and his shoddy body guard
Look at the chain mail and his body guard
Chain mail
Chain mail
Chain mail
Chain mail
I'd run away
Brave for tears
And sitting still to see
What lives behind
The enemy lines
When you have torn away
When you have torn away
"Execute them" [4x]
*Street Life sample played in the background*
"Slang bang to wax, torture pack, pump it to max
Till your heart collapse, fully auto rap
Might lose your eye sight, blood type, a-alike
Snake bite, gorge on this mic, I live to right the hype"[Street Life]
[Raekwon]
Yeah, y'all mothafuckers know, turn my shit up mothafucker
Wild the fuck out, word up fuck the radio
1998 word up, whippin illegal on y'all beagle-lookin mothafuckers
Yo, James spin off, slang dames wanna hit off
Check this Slovak lock it down, lames get off
Jury match, range rack, fists of fury-act
Don po, six hundred glow, Wally mack poly like that
It's real ("Execute Them"), diabolical
Logical, strange chokehold, kill is possible
Flip a wig blindfold, rewind the scroll
Clip full-mo, flip on the glow, blow
Rock a arm-fold, tourist a bull report
Sit back, calmful, tibble and cold war
Hailin from my neck down, rounds flip clowns
Buyin a loyal bitch gowns, go down, fuck them clowns
While we healin, minds, wheelin labs wit cathedral ceilings
Dry a hitman for hire, alien flyer
"Slang bang to wax, slang bang to wax, slang slang bang to wax
Torture pack"
What what, step up, throw your sword up
[Masta Killa]
Aiyyo witness the abduction, bill of destruction
Blood rushin, from a universal standpoint
Acknowledge shorties bustin, but they gotta come son
Before they can test my steel
I send a grandson to let em feel one, bodies not worth my gun
Peace Sudan, w-w-MastaKill.com, heavily armed
We roam, through the dark damp litter of the forest
Floor lies dough, wit a c-note, throw em overboat
Slit his stomach so the body won't float
The vigilant, infinite patient I stand as command in chief
Mad thorough, competition's intense for every inch of the borough
"Slang bang to wax, torture pack, pump it to the max
Till your heart collapse, fully auto rap (2x)"
"Might lose your eyesight, bloodtype, a-alike
Snake bite, gorge on this mic, I live to write the hype

[Inspectah Deck]
Murder verser, twenty bean rap fiend server
Rhymes nurse your mind, bustin like twin burners
Certified lah, five million eyes left wide
Inside we split the grand prize
Won it by a landslide,? damn's fly? the rest
They bettin contest but they pose no threat
Street corner warrior, cause crowd disorder
And glide like rollerblades 'cross your recorders
Soldier of fortune lost in the madness
Brandish your weapon or get dropped to the canvas
Po' bandit hold the belt single-handed
Most Demanded Assassin is what I'm branded
Far from your standard, universally
Planted jewels in the minds of fools left stranded
One man hit force, my shirt ripped off
Squeeze a full clip to kill the bullshit then I dip off
"Slang bang, slang bang to wax (Execute Them)
Torture pack, pump it to the max till your heart collapse
Fully auto rap, might lose your eyesight, bloodtype a-alike
Snake bite, gorge on this mic, I live to write the hype"
"Execute them" [2x]
"Slang bang to wax, torture pack pump it to max till your heart collapse"

Rain, rain¡¯s floating down again
Surround your mind
Soft cloud, take me around again
On your rain
My dreams tell me everything
Surprise around
Call out your name
I need help again
For all love brigade
What you was, said is sure
Running on the seventh floor
Do it all, let it slide
Breathe yourself goodbye
See it all through the wall
Living outside again
Need a long way to go
Said you our escape
I died, when you fall again
Say out
I lied
I love feeling small again
I've been digging this grave, but now that it's made
I see that black is one hell of a colour
Want to break out so I start to shout
But the mortician's returned to his parlour
Black hole
Wrapped in my shroud upstairs, the music's so loud
That I can't concentrate on my sorrow
Let down my hair and find something to wear
And then dance myself into tomorrow
Black hole
I'm in a hole here and all I can see
Are these grey walls that are closing in on me
Throw me a ladder, lend me an arm
Beam me up Scotty, lift me from harm
Oh why, why deep holes?
Oh I love my holes
Black hole
If the weather would change these clouds might blow away
And my body'd be wrapped up in sunshine
I want out of this wind that is wearing me thin
Blasting my flesh to the marrow
Why dig holes?
Why deep holes?
Everybody wants to be happy
Everybody wants more money
Everybody wants more loving
Everybody wants the same thing
I came across the border through the east and the west divide
The land between the trenches was patrolled by the deaf and the blind
The blind were shouting 'listen!'
While the deaf said 'can't you see? '
Somewhere deep in no man's land some man has lost a key
I open up into this mystery
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
There's centuries of fighting so I brought myself a gun
The salesman called it 'freedom' so my enemy bought a bigger one
I'm saving up for a missile that will shoot him up with love
Now his finger's on my button and my hand is in his glove
I opened up into this mystery
Every key can lock you up or set you free
I believe that there is magic in this mystery
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
Everybody wants to be happy
Everybody wants more money
Everybody wants the same thing
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen

You talk of knowing someone
When you know nothing of them.
See only surface detail,
You just don't understand.
An answer to your question:
There is no understanding.
There's only different viewpoints
From wherever you stand.
Lazy,
We won't understand.
We're so lazy.
I could just lie here thinking
Of things I should be doing.
I've got my head a-growing
To the size of a hill.
I cannot see you clearly.
My viewpoints are disjointed.
I'm getting shorter-sighted,
Just like television.
Lazy,
We won't understand.
We're so lazy.
We won't work.
We will not work
At something we don't
Feel familiar with.
We won't work.
We will not work.
We're just so lazy.
Make no effort of understanding.
Frozen stiff by your aqua field.
Recieving messages loud and clear,
being...
Lazy,
We won't understand.
We're so lazy.
Lazy.
Lazy.
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Your heart hurts here
Your heart hurts here
Your heart hurts here
When you come to me
Don't forget your feelings
I've got nothing you you might need
I'm always bleeding
Oh don't you excite me
And please don't explain
There is no meaning here
Just potential for gain
You've got infinite patience
And the scent of the sea
Love these days when I'm near you
Watering hole, watering hole
Why did you lie to me
Did you lie to me
Why did you say those things
You didn't mean
My heart hurts here
My heart hurts here
What a wonderful fever
I'd had nothing but rain
We just made a decision
It's pain
It's pain
It's pain
I've got nothing to hold you
Got no chest to contain
You're a cave full of treasure
To be loving when the knives are out
Takes much courage and a mind without doubt
I'm just some robot, wind up the clockwork jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of my work
And it's so hard to remain open
If it's true, it can't be spoken
Really hard
Really hard
Rhetoriticians think they're running this show
Words as power is all they'll ever know
I'm just some reflex, when struck, the knee will jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of our work
And it's so hard to remain open
If you bend, you won't get broken
Really hard
Really hard
Wake up from this dreaming state
A long scream out, it's not too late
I am dying to begin
I am dying to begin again
Really hard
Caught in the long grass, got separated from his company
Those men he thought were friends turned out to be the enemy
Their uniforms were black not brown, they marched to a different step
But he soon tuned in to their frequency
By shifting up one fret
But the one thing that united them
Was they all had life to give
But it wasn't their intention to serve that way, but to kill so they may live
We are sound, we are sound, we are sound
Set them marching, stop them thinking
Psyche them up with your will
Stir them up with frantic rhythm
Send them out to kill, kill, kill, kill kill
We are sound we are sound we are sound
Back in human form, skin tight uniform, caught upon the barbed wire
Back in human form, skin tight uniform, crucified upon the barbed wire
The wire
Knock Knock Knock
My house is always open
Why shield myself with
Quills and feints and lies
I can put on quite a show
But inside I'm broken
Porcupine
Porcupine
Here it comes again
Please don't stop
You'll get past my defenses
My body armour's plated over time
I got away with it once
But I soon became addicted
Porcupine porcupine
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
On my back's the weight
Of my offences
You're a skunk and
I'm a porcupine
Our weaponary's evolved
From the heightened senses
Porcupine
Porcupine
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Dust motes in a beam of light
They slow down time
Snowflake on a black wool glove
Melting in the sunlight
Dust motes in a beam of light
You left without a fight
Dust motes in a beam of light, they slow down time
It's cold outside
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
Your transgressions
There's a vulture at the end of my bed
It's 5 a.m., it thinks I'm dead
There's a vulture at the end of my bed
Against the window, in silhouette
There's a vulture would have me asleep
It's looking at me like I'm some piece of meat
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
If you die
If you die
Everybody says I'll be alright
I don't think so
Cried over my supper
It revived, got off the table, started to fly
If you die
If you die
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
Dust motes in a beam of light
So I'm on my own
Far from my broken home
And it costs
Feels like 10 below
Pack me off to school
Innocence and trust
Are all lost
Where did my childhood go
Calling from the payphone
Trying not to cry
Feeling I am dying
Telling you I'm fine
You tell me it's the making of me
That's a fucking lie
When's the holidays
Holidays
Holiday
I'm at the bottom of my bed
Headphones on my head
John Peel's show
Feels like 10 below
The sky's a dull gun metal
Where did the sun
And it rains and rains
Feels like 10 below
Turning on the weaker ones
When we were bored
I used to have feelings
But all I feels a hole
Is where the heart is
And the organ praise the lord
When's the holidays
Holidays
Holiday
He's at war
He's at war
With himself at the world
He's at war
He will strike first to anticipate
He's at war
Don't know how to relate
Feel like a cold war spy
If I's caught
It's hot enough
Within this bed (to try an egg)
To melt our differences
A leap of faith
This fiery love
Dissolves the edge
Creates a bridge
A leap of faith
It's hot inside the chrysalis
As cells create (divide)
A dreamy (creamy) bliss
A leap of faith
And out of this
A floating kiss
Life loves, to exist
Hangover after the party
Tunnel vision Virtual saviour Inner vision for all mankind They found a new drug that might just save you Stops you thinking Never mind
Now I've been dwelling on doubts and failures I've been striking the band I'm trying to focus on things I'm proud of Stand stand stand Stand stand (stand)
Deal a card I'll take my chances Some suspicion The ace is palmed They found a new drug down in Mesapotania Ruritania or some such land
Now I've been dwelling on doubts and failures I've been striking the band I'm trying to focus on things I'm proud of Stand stand stand You've got to stand stand stand You've got to stand stand stand You've got to stand stand stand
Out on the freeway Counting fences Measuring life I left behind Time is the distance between me and my feelings Fenced in feelings Pass with time
On a machine like this
Everybody gets their hands oily
Smoke filled room
Nobody's lungs stay clean
But there's a difference between
A swim and a wallow
Gives out a clue to how things might have been
Ask for perfection
P-p-p-people aren't like that
Any fool can see
Who are you to laugh at me?
I am still
Standing on the chicken wire
Daren't look down
But try and inch a little higher
Friends on the ground
Say "come on it, the water's fine"
But I can see their frozen smiles from here
When you give give give yourself to something
Is there anything left you can call your own
If I give give give give my body to someone
Can I keep keep keep a part for me
Oh keep a part for me
Oh leave some piece that's free
I'll do anything to please you
I'll do anything to please you
But take me take me please
I'm asking, but I'm down on my knees
You're warm, a home, a place to hide
You're warm, a home, a place to hide
You're warm, a home, a place to hide
A place to hide
Pity, pity me
Pity, pity me
You might laugh-ha ha ha when it doesn't affect you
While I cry-oh oh oh for all to see
Come on and laugh-ha ha ha when it doesn't affect you
While I cry stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop
Stop
The sun is up
The sun is high
The sun is in your eye
You're shades they mirror everything
They're leaving me quite blind
This game is up
We've had enough
And we can compromise
Take those glasses off your face
I want to see your eyes
I read a book
A funny book
A book about your life
You call yourself a free man
But all you did was time
When time will judge
And time will heal
And time will bury us all
And now you're in your coffin
With a satellite dish installed
Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
You have no one to love Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
Oh, Charlie, don't dance dance dance
Your head's in a whirl
In a blind romance
Oh Charlie, look away look away
Do you believe what the good doctor says
Now there's rumors in the city that the banks might close
Close for a long holiday
And the papers are full of a new meltdown
Hold your breath, for the winds are all change
Oh, no, Charlie dance dance
Oh, go, Charlie dance dance
Oh, Charlie dance dance
The minister says, put your hands on your head
Try and breath through your nose
Flat on the floor, bum in the air
Let's all do the death throes
Don't drink the milk, but the water is fine
The cows got caught in the rain
Charlie, believe what the government says
They don't moo anymore, but I'm sure they're not dead
Don't chew anymore, but I'm sure they're not dead
Oh, go Charlie dance dance
Glazed eyes turning away
Is it true you're seeing him again?
E-mail swiftly erased
Is it true you're seeing him again?
I caught you on the telephone
You've no answer to my question
Who's on the line?
You were crying on the telephone
Is it me, is it him?
Show me how to survive
Can't afford to divorce
I'm so scared, show me how
To accept we've run our course
Loved you the best of our years
We'll survived the sting in this tale
Last call, numbers erased
We'll survived the sting in this tale
After dark when you got home
You were walking, said you're walking down by the pier
Feel that I'm the last to know
There's the children, not the children
Show me how to survive
Can't afford to divorce
I'm so scared, show me how
To accept we've run our course
Blindfold my love
Adjust to betrayal of trust
Blindfold my love
Adjust to betrayal of trust
You left a message on my answer phone
There is something you can't tell me
Don't have much time
Test came back and doctor said
There's no answer to the cancer
I've seen your mouth moving, heard others here say,
Those words are a piece of a part that you played
That sounds like your father, a teacher, the church
Didn't spring from the heart, but research
The only way I learn is put the fist in and get burned
Go get burned
Old wives, mystics, hearsay
Wise men, rich men, shamen and sage
When you're meek on the Earth, when you die you will pay
For accepting that lot, in the cheapest of graves
The sexes divided, men mustn't be weak
Sensitivity is a vice of which we shan't speak
And women are a plaything that are just made for men
To treat how the boss he respects treats him
And I am going to grow up like daddy wanted me to be
To impress all those, who so impressed me
And young boys melt into men
And we'll start the process again
Add a touch of mystique where the writing gets weak
Break up coherence with a cut-cut-cut up technique
When you've got nothing to say
Shut up or show that you're willing to play
With words that simply aren't out of touch
With the genuine feelings which lead to their birth
Most things are better not written or heard
When you open your mouth, out drops a turd
Scared kids, you're all the same You just live to fly again Your age shows
Dead flies on the bumper tonight Sore skin, your knuckles gone white Your name is the neighbourhood scum Say your name, it's the neighbourhood scum
My baby, born forty eight Robbed a car and fled the state Your name is the neighbourhood scum
Hit the stars on the way tonight Smashed the car when you jumped the lights Your name is the neighbourhood scum Say your name, it's the neighbourhood scum
I sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Insight of the day
I swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet of sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray
Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow
Oh sit down Oh sit down Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down down down down down in symapthy
Now I’m relieved to hear
That you’ve been to some far out places
It’s hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I’ve swung back down again
It’s worse than it was before
If I hadn’t seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy
Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they’re touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate
Down
Down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down,down,down, down
In sympathy
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down,down,down,down,down
In sympathy
Well I see the prophet And the foward fake And I hold it to your eyes
And the wind is spurned To the trees And spurning on your charms
And the ways are laughing on On your door And the man is coming all old
And when when the crime is over Who is safe Who is safe And who is gospel oak
On the glamorous night Each cragged end And the murderer core survived
From the tunes today It's sold your space And I don't know your crime
From the board is slain And honoured tall And the wind it is so cold
And they're dueling on a foreign race Foreign race Foreign raced it all
So make cupped to me now It's a long long lazy raves down streets' names
Don't give yer cap to me now From the raging cloth and the ranging klaxon changed
Raise down Your soul Your down In bloom Raise down Hear slay On and on Human race
Don't give up on me now No don't give up on me now Now now so alone
Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See the jeaned genie on his high-wire act
At the back of his mind lies a suicide pact
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See the young men itching to burn
Waiting for their own star turn
Needing danger, a war would do
If they can't let it out, they'll pick on you
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See houdini and his underwater tricks
You were sitting at the front, hoping his locks would stick
Watch knievel hit the 17th bus
You got crushed in the souvenir rush
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
I said poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See the young men itching to burn
Waiting for their own star turn
Needing danger, a war would do
If they can't let it out, they'll pick on you
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy
Come on, somebody, finish him off please
Put the poor fool out of his misery, will you
Can't you see he's had enough?
Finish him off, somebody
This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty
Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty
Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
