kept my coat on
while you put your empty arms around me
kept my shirt on
and wrestled my memory down
when i put my arm around you
i had to hold my mand in place
i didn't move to keep you from feeling chased
dropping off
you smile easy
what was i supposed to say?
hits the ground
and it dies easy
why did i decide to stay?
looks like i should forget you now
underneath the covers i'm not naked
maybe you were never next to me
does all recorded history start tomorrow morning?
did you forget or were your kisses my final warning?
a spent bullet brought me down
add me to the list you stopped with blanks
or how about a rundown of the top 100
where do i rank
did i even make the list
or did i make a big mistake?
dropping off
you smile easy
what was i supposed to say
Been digging up this ditch for a long time now
So I can push my temper underneath the ground
Where there's room for me and you
Come on, don't be a fool
I can't get out underneath this dirty cool
Die laughing
Die laughing
You just get angry, man
You just get upset
And you lie quiet but you can't get used to it
So we curl up in here in this dirty cool
And we're laughing
And we're laughing and crying too
Die laughing
Die laughing
I hear you now
Die laughing
Why can't you be happy?
Why aren't you now?
Die laughing
What a monster this kissing disease
Did the paramedic bring you back?
Or was he dropping you off for the night
In broad daylight?
I can't stand up in here
I hit my head on your trap door
Can't come down to see you
Because I'm not that kind of girl
Why should I listen?
You already kissed him
And already replaced him
The telephone is my enemy now
I'm giving in if I make a call
How could I lose to a weaker hand
Lie down lie down it's bigger than I can stand
Up in here
I hit my head on your trap door
Can't come down to see you
Because I'm not that kind of girl
Why should I listen?
You already kissed him
And already replaced him
You always cut me off and in half
And think you can put it back
I know I've been had but ii'll still take you home
Idler
He's in the car
But he won't start
Until you're gone upstairs
And driving past
He'll move his hat
To block outthe glare
He'll pull up to open the door
Independence day
Yeah but he won't come out before
Indenpendence day
So go back inside
Upstairs and hide
He'll probably talk to himself about you
Til eyes are red
And it's allsaid
And then he'll just drive without you
He'll pull up to open the door
Independence day
Yeah but he won't come out before
Independence day
i'm a lowlife, lowlife
and i've been here, caught standing still
i've gotta play into my head, my head
full of crap im a landfill
didn't understand
i'm not talking now
didn't understand
for i know you well
a pretty penny gets you trouble, gets you trouble
but i had enough of that
i kept on waiting on lies, on lies
i kept waiting for a little tap
didn't understand
or a little "hey"
didn't understand
why can't you settle for that?
thats where thats where that's where you're at
i'm waiting on lies
you're standing still
i've got a play, play it my head
i'm a landfill
didn't understand
i'm not talking now
didn't understand
i know you well
didn't understand
i'm not talking now
didn't understand
i know you well
well i've become yours like a lowlife
Sweet miranda made a burning in my throat
And I'm slumped in the bathtub like a sunken boat
So when will you leave me
When will you leave me
When will you leave me
Leave me alone for a while?
Cos I can't try
To be happy without you
Leave me to my bourbon
It's a private kind of thing
And don't bother to tell me what you really think
Cos I left everything that meant something
So I could become something
If you ever see me in the arms of a gutter out in the 'burbs
mic city sons seem to dumb everything down
i got wished a lot of luck
and i'll tell you what it's worth now
it's a cold-blooded style
never was worthwhile
you're as good as they come
but you're such a fucking trial
you went and called me up
do you bother me on purpose
you make me feel like i'm half my age
and at least twice as nervous
you go ah-ha whistling
sweet caroline
and i'll be there to me
cos i never speak my mind
it's a miracle how
no offence is taken
but i'm full of them then
anytime you feel up to face them
you go drink your problems still
a statue in the barroom
you've got feelings left to kill
and i won't forget it too soon
it's a cold blooded style
never was worthwhile
you're as good as they come
but you're such a fucking trial
you go ah-ha whistling
sweet caroling
and i'll be there to me
cos i never speak my mind
I don't know when I lost my nerve
and I started a routine
and I walked across this corner
pinned my eyes to a shirt
'cos I'm scared of being seen
locked myself in a stall
rest my head against the wall
still drunk I had a dream in the morning
pin myself to the chore
looking through the cracks I saw the shadows on the tile
so I knocked on all the unlocked doors
locked myself in a stall
rest my head against the wall
and I'm not sure
that I've ever had the nerve
cos I've always felt like an easy kill
but I'm pretty sure
that I'm never gonna know
if I'm his kind of pill
unlocked the stall and wandered off
His skin is thick, it's rubbermaid, it's rubbermaid
My skin is thin, it's paper thin, onion skin
his blood and sweat like a hotel bed
He's telling me he's surprised
now I got myself something to hide
and I'm locked in
lost in the sands hotel
I've got a life, I'm in the line
but i don't remain
I dragged my bag across the stage,
opened it in his face
his blood and sweat like a hotel bed
He's telling me he's surprised
now I got myself something to hid
and I'm locked in
lost in the sands hotel
(life is grand in the sand)
lost in the sands hotel
(life is grand in the sand)
lost, locked in
Show me someone that I'm not afraid of
Show me someone that I can see
'cos I'm locked in
lost in the sands hotel
(life is grand in the sand)
I always find out too late
I always find out too late
You wouldn't believe what I'm on
In all this time I found nothing to live without it for
Chorus:
Help me only
Help me only
Help me get on my feet
I feel like turning me down
I feel like turning me down
Good to see ya anne maria (? )
I never was anything
Can't be happy or unhappy
You wouldn't believe what I'm on
In all this time I found nothing to live without it for
Oh, what are you now?
Oh, what are you now?
What's wrong with you little flame?
What's wrong with you little flame?
I been trying to cool off for so long
In all this time I found nothing to stop real pain
let me put you in the play
down all the days
cast for your time
a sucker in the line
to be told you're so fine
you deserve the hire
well, some folks cannot be satisfied
and they just want somebody to ride
(well, here it comes) and you're the one they want
to have and have
and never have not
(oh!) so take what you expect
and put it in reverse
see which one of us
bangs the cymbals first
chorus:
we're taking you to pieces
we're taking you to pieces
we're taking you to pieces
we're taking you to pieces
you make it really easy
you make it really easy
(oh!) you're never gonna touch me with your curse
get inside their minds, before they get to yours
(repeat chorus 2x)
I'm so sick of having hope
Pushing the envelope
With empty threats and false teeth
My drink's been poured by a cannibal
And my corpse ain't even cold
And you want to take it away from me
I know you'll take the blue ribbon
I shop myself with the starting gun
You're more cop than speeder
Hitting onthe waiter
And eating off the plate of the enemy
But I'd rather just forget about the jerking in my sleep
And the hollow words under me
But I've got second thoughts again
Second thoughts again
Or am I second guessing
Or just in second place?
I've got a one year old hangover
Feels like I never will recover
But I can keep a poker face
i'll be shutting down soon
didn't mean to be so let down
i don't know why he left the room
couldn't keep his attention
i'll be switching off soon
it's never going to happen
feel like i've been put in my place
a secret admirer for life
the drink in my hand ain't no prop
it's what's left of my collapsing night
who do i lean my ladder against
to get over my embarrassment
i want him without regret
i want it written in cement
such a sucker for attention
to wipe the dust off my still life
the drink in my hand ain't no prop
it's what's left of my collapsing night
i'm not moving
i can't calm down
i won't say anything
i won't remember any names
i'm not moving
i can't calm down
i won't remember anything
i'm just going back to bed
prosecute myself all night
i'm my own biggest threat
don't wanna sit up straight
or look you in the face
i keep checking over your shoulder
cos i've been dreaming of low-flying jets
sweet town knocked my head over
over and over
you got your head in the clouds
you can't hear me at all
and i don't know what to say
cos i don't know what's wrong
it's just a headache i suppose
thrown back like a sinking boat
i keep thinking it's all over
cos i've been dreaming of undertows
and the places that you go
and my head slips off your shoulder
you got your head in the clouds
you can't hear me at all
and i don't know what to say
cos i don't know what's wrong
you can't hear me at all
been staying up too late
i keep dreaming of lost in space
and when i wake up
I've been suffocating all night
Too much of nothing made me get uptight
And I get fists on my shy nerves?
And say it's this that you deserve?
Do you wanna live in a soft shell
Or knuckle under the hard sell?
When your arms start creeping thru
When you're ashamed of what you're trying to do
Dead air
Don't let it be spoken
A record's broken,
Skipping to the words that hang in this
Dead air
And you never say nothing
Dead air between you and me
I've been suffocating all night
Too much of nothing made me get uptight
You're in a rut with your dumb ones
It takes no guts to be don juan
To go around brooding and tight
When you got no reason for brooding
You've become completely sick
You don't give a s***
You just wanna forget
Dead air
Don't let it be spoken
A record's broken,
Skipping to the words that hang in this
Dead air
And you never say nothing
Dead air between you and me
I've been brooding all night
I got no reason for brooding
I don't know what I'm doing
I keep trying to speak out loud
Dead air
up on the roof top my head explodes
just like the fourth of july
i'm about to say i'm about to want you so
i just feel blue like so many other times
don't put my name to shame
i listen when my mama calls me
i ain't no broad-faced lie
trying to take anybody off to see
i listen when my mama calls me
i an't no broad faced lie
trying to take anybody off to see
i got 'em in the live
gotta get this thing off my head
why'd you lead me around for so long
like nobody can
don't you know what kinda guy i am
don't put my name to shame
i listen when my mama calls me
i ain't no broad-faced lie
trying to take anybody off to see
i listen when my mama calls me
i ain't no broad-faced lie
trying to take anybody off to see
why'd you lead me around for so long
like nobody can
You're a silence on the phone
Yo're a song with just one f***ing note
And I'm clued out cole
Like an off-color joke
When I call collect to nyc
Everybody learns eventually
To go hang it up
You go hang it up
It's really really easy
Yeah I put your letter down
But this graffiti finds it's way around
I want to talk
Why you want to stop?
It's impossible for me
So here's my trick: when I hear your "hello"
I know I'm listening to alcohol
Oh, I'm drunk on a call
I heard you found some other guy
Some high note you thought I couldn't hit
But I never tried
Come here in silence and kiss me quiet lying on the floor
I'm acting dumb like you wanted
But I'm not your kid anymore
I'm not your bastard john
Just because I played along
I'm not your bastard john
Just because I played along
You're just a comma
You give me pause with your temporary charm
But I'm distorted
Can't you see it when I'm underneath you
Trying not to look alarmed
I'm not your bastard john
Just because I played along
I'm not your bastard john
I'm not your bastard john
So don't try to fake me out
With some bulls*** promise that you didn't have to say
You present to me
Just keeps on giving every damn day
asking, permission denied
to self medicate this way once in a while
aren't you afraid of everything
your love so? you can't appreciate anything
down on the sofa with a record running
baby i can't help letting you down
letting you down
letting you down
got your rejection, denied, crying
coming apart right here before your eye
you aren't disappointed, are you now
i'm still listening, just tell me what you want
i won't feel a thing, just tell me what you want
leaving you alone wasn't my decision
baby it's not easy letting you down
letting you down
I must have looked hysterical trying to get away
Riding on an avalanche of things you just don't say
I wanted someone's company, but to her I'm just some guy
And I got a busted lip on a silent night
I was in your car that night going out of town
I know something's gotta go and I guess I'll go now
White knuckles on the wheel and a pain above
That's how mother nature treats everyone she loves
Chorus:
So drive out
So have a drink (? )
Got a silent busted lip
You wanna make me just like yourself
Till I like?
He's looking at you now
Like a little dove
True love blinking on and off
Like a bad bulb
And when he breaks himself in two
You say you must be high
But people just always do
It makes them feel alive
Chorus
Hey little bird sing!
Hey little bird sing!
Hey little bird sing!
you got a choke chain
made out of nightrain
to keep your memory down
in quicksand from the main man
to gel everything out
always out on a joyride
lay it out from insides
always at a dead stall
from sticking pins into miniature men
who can't feel it at all
see you later
see you later
if i see you at all
see you later
see you later
see you later
if i see you at all
see you later
walk thru thick mud
looking for new blood
thinking i heard your name
cruel imagination is still giving me pain
just to find you with the
masterminder
of one of your little affairs
saying how he loves you now
let me show you how much i care
see you later
see you later
if i see you at all
see you later
see you later
if i see you at all
see you later
see you later
if i see you at all
Junior mint
Draws the line
Shakes his stick
Overbites
And proves he's got a critical mind
Born again
Cashing in
Must be deaf
Going blind
But he's still got a critical mind
You attack like a cop
Lay down the law
But you're under the bed and you want to be on top
You're a blind watchdog and you're easily led
Thought we were the cheating type
But you're the one who believed the hype
And you're the one who f***s celebrities
You're nothing but a nickname
Does it get you behind closed doors
And let you break some rules
So you can get to the core
Dead stop on the curb
With eyes in back of my head
Curbside inside around parking?
Got a sore throat keeping you down
A sick desire been creeping around
Got a gallon of blood squeezing thru my chest
And the closer I am to you the thicker it gets
A knife in the back and stuck in one place
With a pat on the back and a slap on the face
Keep trying to see from a better position
It's no good
And it never really makes any difference
If it could
Sick of having to start all over again
Here comes a big insider, turn myself in
Thinking of ways to explain everything
This sick desire, don't you do a thing
Keep trying to see from a better position
It's no good
And it never really makes any difference
If it could
Sick of having my hear right all over my face
And the backseat drivers taking my place
Got me staring at you eyes dropped like lead
When you wake up in the morning, and you stretch and yawn
And you roll all over me (gonna make you, mmm)
You can try to avoid it, but it can't be destroyed
When you hear that noise (gonna make you, oh yeah)
When you wake up in the mornin' (gonna make you)
When you get out of the shower (gonna make you)
Try to put on your clothes, think you're ready to go
And you attempt this alone (gonna make you, mmm)
I hope that doesn't scare you
I hope that doesn't scare you off
------ jumpsuits and leotards
(I hope that doesn't scare you off)
I'm about to come and steal your heart
(I hope that doesn't scare you off)
Clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands
I'm here to make you move, and share my groove and spread it across the land
Clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands
All the guys and girls, welcome to my world
To this candyland
Love, angel, music, baby
(Can someone call the fire department? These girls are on fire!)
This shit is fucken bananas...
When you wake up in the morning, and you stretch and yawn
And you roll all over me (gonna make you, mmm)
You can try to avoid it, but it can't be destroyed
When you hear that noise (gonna make you, oh yeah)
When you wake up in the mornin' (gonna make you)
When you get out of the shower (gonna make you)
Try to put on your clothes, think you're ready to go

All the guys and girls, welcome to my world
To this candyland
Love, angel, music, baby
framed hands make the moon come down
i'm sick of my plans
tired of waiting around
i can't try cos i know that you need somebody tonight
something to lose
i'm waiting for a sign
something to lose
you're always looking down from a picture frame
it's sickening how we just get in each other's way
i can't be shocked like i was before
It was a deep sleep
I woke up weak
And I felt like, like a stray
Now I believe we're on to nothing
I was shaken and angry and used to nothing
Coming to nothing, are you coming to stay
Or for a minute (? ) are you
Coming to take my place
So take this disgrace
Stray
It was a deep sleep
I woke up weak
With a question and your promise not to separate
And I would feel so empty
Space between me
That's what's with me
That's what's with me
Are you coming to stay
Or for a minute (? ) are you
Coming to take my play
When I wake up in the lone star state
Stray
Are you coming to stay
Or for a minute (? ) are you
Coming to take my place
When I wake up in the lone star state
i've been transformed in my sleep
thrown into next week
i've got something i can't keep
woke up with a shorter reach
walking thru a concussion
and the dosage that's left of you
throw away it's a toss up
dropped outta the contest to throw up
heard you dropped my name
heard you dropped it all the time
time
time
time
you smile goes around your head
like you can see from behind
you're always hanging one step behind
it's numbing the things you don't say
throw away it's a toss up
dropped outta the contest to throw up
heard you dropped my name
heard you drop them all the time
your smile goes around your head
so you don't have to move to show off your good side
that wasn't so hard to swallow
went down easy as a capsule
went down easy as a candle
as soon as you got a new angle
this town just gets smaller
and all my friends have new names
like tylenol
demerol
anacin
secondary, secondary self for myself (?)
a devil dog, a close call, somebody else
and your love, your love, your love
it's just a wicked friend and it's time that you're fighting off
are you scared that i'm dying?
start believing in a secondary, secondary self for myself
sick pride, a dead heart, somebody else
you wanna get well on your own
but truth to tell, you've been shot to hell
you're all f***ing holes
all i ever?
doing things that i'll never tell anybody else
i'm not shooting, i'm not shooting, i'm not playing
i'm here waiting for anybody
well i guess i'm not playing
melodrama, it's just me
it's just me
It all came back to me in the bathroom
After I woke up from a really dirty dream
But it didn't sound quite right
Under an unforgiving light
So I forgot about it and went back to sleep
Don't want to tell you everything
Have it come out sounding like a joke
Don't wanna know what I look like
Under a microscope
And I swore I was gonna enjoy the summer
But you gave me too much time to kill
I didn't ask for it
You took off and I stood still
There's no one coming over tonight
What an unforgiving night
What an unforgiving night
What an unforgiving night
What an unforgiving night
The fingers were blue and waved
Like paper, the water was so cold I got stars
In my eyes
I figured it out when I was in the bathroom
Just before I turned off the light
Don't want to tell you anything
Have it come out sounding like a joke
Don't wanna know what I look like
Under a microscope
Why are you here?
Couldn't you tell him?
Were you afraid he'd hear?
You should have been thankful to be alone
You took off your shoes
Said anything further
Would be bad news
'Cause you'd already started to disappear
And he couldn't complain
Just looked at your lyric
And crossed over to play
A record of quiet instrumentals
Said I like what you wrote
This a record
full of sour notes
Should have been thankful to be alone
Said I like what you wrote
But don't say you mean it
When you know you don't
You should have been thankful to be alone, you know
You should have been thankful to be alone, you know
don't be taking him off your hell (?)
don't be taking him off your hell (?)
let go of the black ball (?)
you saw him leave the hell (?)
you are what you adore
you are what you adore
a china doll, you wanted it all
you're a china doll, you don't feel nothing at all
don't be taking him off your hell (?)
or it's something you'll later have
upon your head, but you can't get over him
because you know what's in there
because you know what's in there
a china doll who won't feel nothing at all
you're a china doll and you don't feel nothing at all
and i feel this way
you say he's not in your arms
somethings passed on
but up to me, i'll just call the guard (?)
every one of your need
every one of your other needs
china doll, i don't feel nothing at all
china doll, i don't feel nothing at all
i feel this way all the time
You could've rubbed me out and filled in the blanks
You're the one that wants to be the one to thank
But my body up and left me
While I was waiting to be filled in
I'm someone else
I'm not myself I'm someone else
I'm not myself I'm someone else
I haven't been seen so I'm not myself
A light bulb went off in my head
Suddenly I'm none of the things you said
Did my body up and leave me?
Or did someone finally fill me?
(oh!) I still feel like a fake
I still have to lie
Still feel like a fake
Like I could disappear befroe your eyes
You could've rubbed me out
You could've rubbed me out
You could've rubbed me out
You could've rubbed me out
The muscle in your handshake
Puts the punchline to your jokes
But your voice don't fill your throat
And I won't fall to pieces like you think
You can't cure me
Or write me off with a wink
You can't even catch me
Keeping me in the dark
Behind my back in my back yard
Shaking my head, stealing my seat
Keeping quite alone and meek
I don't know if she can resist
She don't when she sees my kess
She's got a winning touch, she's preserved in gin
She draws the line, it's fine this mess I'm in (? )
I'm fine
I'm fine
Don't look down, you don't cast a shadow
Peter pan with a baseball bat
You're old fashioned (? ) like a good-looking cousin
Why can't you be like that
Never been dumb, never take any bets
Pockets bulge, we'd be riddled with debt
Moving our heads?
We'd be driving?
So they can't hear you complain
So they can't hear you complain
Coach bob, the president and god
Said we're gonna leave you black and blue
I wouldn't want you to be misled
No one will recognize you
That's better, you're down on the mat now
You're concrete and nobody's guess
Get married and I'd probably hate it
Why won't you settle for less?
Don't look down, you don't cast a shadow
Peter pan with a baseball bat
You're old fashioned (? ) like a good-looking cousin
Back in the bar they push the tables back
Lay you out like you walked into a speed trap
Felt my stomach drop right outta thin air
They got their hands in my pockets even if there's nothing there
Feel like a sick mind, feel like the only one
Don't know who I'm looking for, or if it's anyone
And in the back room they had the word spread
Come without a conscience to be leading back and into bed
What should I do
I wouldn't know what to say
Between the door I'll probably turn them all away
They look so bored that it doesn't matter anyway
And I don't wanna be naked
Get taken in and taken
Come in like I'm lost, just got off the bus
Don't know how to act, how to look anonymous
Feel like I'm lined up behind the cue ball
Between my pocket and the eye in the hole in the wall
(what do you see when you see me? )
What should I do
I wouldn't know what to say
Between the dorr I'd probably turn them all away
They look so bored that it doesn't matter anyway
And I don't wanna look hopeless
They stop at the light
She painted her lips white
Saying it's green and let's go
Well it happened at least I told the truth one time
Cos I don't need some line
Supposed to appease me
I'm so sick of that
When you echo back, and you're alright
Everybody has it
Everybody has it
Everybody has it
It's all right
Look around, take a look around you
Everybody has it
Everybody has it
Everybody has it
You're all right
He knows what he's got
Some must think(? )
Far from what he's not
When everyone's drinking
Which is most of the time
Red is the color
That she dreams about you
Every night and makes her cry
Everybody has it
Everybody has it
Everybody has it
So don't cry
Look around, take a look around you
Everybody has it
Everybody has it
Everybody has it
It's all right
Look around, take a look around you,
Everybody has it and everybody has it
And everybody has it
You're so bright
I looked around and I looked around
And oh you're so right, oh you're so right
Oh you're so right
You're so bright
Looked around and I looked around
And oh you're so right, oh you're so right
Oh you're so right
taking in the party
he put me down for awhile
100 watts of ambition
springing off his smile
his lips looked set to kiss me
but he closed up like a fist
he's got a fortune in charm
and makes a gift out of empty arms
but i was sold, i was sold, no one had to convince me
bendng over backwards
I watched the light burn out
his excuses fell like diamonds
brilliant, cutting, lost and found
he's got a fortune in charm
and makes a gift out of empty arms
but i was sold, i was sold, no one had to convince me
(i don't believe it)

Because the world is round, it turns me on because the world is round
Because the wind is high, it blows my mind because the wind is high
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
You've got clueless commentators
Telling folks to stay inside
You've got light investigators
Pulling shades and terrified
You've got powers of the darkness
Blowing smoke to dim the skies
Your psychics look a little anxious
Anybody out there wonder why?
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
Got a little light to testify
No power's gonna block it
No darkness gonna stop it
I've got a bottle rocket
Gonna let it fly
Let it fly
You've got experts on retainer
Bracing for the next attack
You've got allies dimming lights
From Hollywood to Doctor Jack
You enact a Good News blackout
Think you've got us on the run?
Well read the book of Acts and weep
The light of Jesus can't be overcome!
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
Got a little light to testify
No power's gonna block it
No darkness gonna stop it
I've got a bottle rocket
Gonna let it fly
Let it fly
Light
Isn't light
When it's found
Bottle bound
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
Got a little light to testify
No power's gonna block it
No darkness gonna stop it
I've got a bottle rocket
Gonna let it fly
when i'm screwed into the wall
i may as well take my time
I'M ON the runway, i don't NEED TO be reminded
a bruise from outta nowhere
now it's making sense
i'd get the car off the runway
if i could get it outta the ditch
i'm awake and i'm coiled
maybe i won't drink this once
i'm awake, i've been rejected
and i'm ashamed of what i've done
i'm awake, i'm awake
sorry about the buick
turn the room into a car
drive it off a f***ing cliff
when i'm screwed into the wall
i may as well take my time
I'M ON the runway, i don't NEED TO BE reminded
a bruise from outta nowhere
I'm in love
With an icon. I didn't expect him to call
I'm crushed and ground in some disaster
I feel like a criminal
Turn out the light, don't crush me
I get a bruise and I'm not even touching, touching
Are you sincere or are you dangling bair
And if I bit will you judge me
I don't know what's genuine
I go back and forth with him
Does a screw make a bad lynch pin
I don't know what's genuine
I think about this is a grin with a?
I thought I couldn't be touched until they tagged me out
And I didn't even feel it at all
The bigger the hands, so full of s***
The neighborhood is one crowded bed
They're all so strange?
I don't know what's genuine
So I go back and forth with him
Does a screw make a bad lynch pin
I don't know what's genuine
Oh I'm losing control
Who's in control
I'm losing control
Can't be touched
I don't know what's genuine
So I go back and forth with him
Does a screw make a bad lynch pin
Heres room 546
It's enuff to make u sick
Bridgets all wrapped up in foil
You wonder if, she'd get uncoiled
Here they come now, see them run now
Here they come now, chealsea girls
Heres room one fifteen
Filled with the sin them queens
Magic marker round
You wonder just how high they go
Here they come now, see them run now
Here they come now, chealsea girls
Heres ?
Ronna's treated him so mean
She wants another scene
She wants to be, a human being
Here they come now, see them run now,
Here they come now, chealsea girls
Pat burr she's having fun
She thinks she's some mans son
Her perfect loves don't last
Her future died, in someones past
Here they come now, see them run now,
Here they come now, chealsea girls
Dear ingrids' found her lick
She's turned another trick
Her treats and times reolve
She's got problems to be solved
Here they come now, see them run now,
Here they come now, chealsea girls
Drop out, she's in a fix
Amphetemine has made her sick
White powder in the air
She's got no bones
And can't be scared
Here they come now, see them run now,
Here they come now, chealsea girls
Here comes johny bore
He collapsed on the floor
They shot him up with milk
And when he died, sell them for silk
Here they come now, see them run now,
(Scarface) Still... kill. X2
(Willie D)
Back up in your ass with the Reurection
Is the group harder than an erection
That shows more affection
They wanna ban us on Capitol Hill
Cause its die muthafuckas, die muthafuckas
(Bushwick Bill)
All along [still] it was the geto, nothing but the geto
Takin short steps one foot at a time and keep my head low
And never let go
cause if I let go, then I'll be spineless
I'm goin' INSANE!
(Scarface)
I think my mind just goes outta control
And judge your subjects muthafuckas read about
I touch on the shit that they be leavin' out
I seen this muthafucka's .9 smokin'
I seen the same nigga with the .9 die with his eyes open
And simply what this means is
He didn't know that every dog had his day
Until he seen his
I bet you muthafuckas will too
Because its die muthafucka, die muthafucka still fool
(chorus) X4
(Scarface) Die muthafuckas, die muthafuckas still fool
(Willie D) Die muthafuckas, die muthafuckas still
[I think it's something in the water man, it's just
gotta be in the water]
(Bushwick Bill)
Awwww Fuck! Chuck's on a killing spree again
With guillotines for men
I walk around town with a frown on my face
Fuck the whole world, fixin' to catch a murder case
The murder rate
(Scarface)
May increase if your caught up in the world
While it's dyin', I guarentee your fryin' cause I am
On the verge of knockin' muthafuckas out for no reason
Once I get down there'll be no breathin' it seems when
Muthafuckas wanna calm down, put his palm down
Seems I gots to lay the law down
Now its on pow what you to do? I'm askin' you
(Willie D)
Step to face I'll break your ass in two, bastard you
Rather swim in some fuckin' hot tar
Before you fuck wit Willie D cause what I got for
Your ass will make ya shit your meal
Cause it's die muthafuckas, die muthafuckas still
Chorus X4
(Scarface)
How many niggas brought they irons tonight? [Tell me]
How many niggas wanna ride tonight? [I do]
Pick out our victims when the time is right
We get they ass up off the corner cause they dyin' tonight
(Willie D)
Niggas be all up in my mug
But it's a different story when them muthafuckas coughing up blood
[When he died, looking in his eyes, was he as he cried]
I bust another cap in his ass and he died, time is 5
(Bushwick Bill)
Niggas be shootin' the gif like they for real
But when it jumps, they ain't got no murder skills
So Bill just, chops 'em down, watch 'em fall
And cut they ass head to toe, jaw to jaw
(Willie D)
But I'ma make your bitch ass holla
Cause I'ma put a hole in your head
The size of a half a dolla
[Fuck around and get your cap peeled cause this is]
The corner seat
Her said maybe I'll just follow you over
But thinking twice he was quick to recover
Cos sitting there would make him just want to curse
Cos all the stories sound over-rehearsed
But he followed ove rto the corner seat
And listened to the endless repeats
These people don't know who you are
They've seen you play andthey'd probably say
You think you're some kind of star
And they've got their powers of conversation
And they need someone to dominate
Who now?
They're going to shut me out
They're going to shut me out
Oh man you know you're so in love with yourself
Now he's looking around the beautiful circle
It's a hip trip man you can never get out of
You're the one who brought me down here in the first place
Oh man I'd rather be in outer space
Than follow over to the corner seat
Who now?
They're gong to shut me out
They're going to shut me out
Oh man you know there's just nobody elses
you want every day to be like that magic first
when she took shape in your eyes and you in hers
you're going down to see her, it's a big mistake
she got ice she don't want anyone to break
don't call on me to make disguises fade away
'cause honestly I'm more inclined to let them stay
on your faces and over mine
i know how to turn others inside out
i can't stand by here waiting while they dumb me down
i fit the perfect picture that you want for all
the fix is in i'm going where i don't belong
sweet nothing is a something in me
sweet nothing is a something in me
sweet nothing, pretty nothing
when you go talking trash i'm surprised at what you say
why you wanna keep these lies on parade
nothing's gonna make me shy... away
i know how to turn others inside out
i can't stand by here waiting while you dumb me down
i fit the perfect picture that you want for all
I'd been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days I seem to think a lot about the things I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance too
I quit my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
These days I seem to think a lot about the many changes that came my way
And I wonder if I'd ever see another highway
I had a lover
I don't think I'd risk another these days
These days and if I seem to be afraid to live the life I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long
I've quit my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days
These days I sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
Well you shouldn't doctor yourself
Well I pictured somebody else
Someone who looks like
What I look like
Would you say that the one of your dreams
Got in you and ripped out the seams
That's what I'd say
That's what I'd say
He was a sucker for your double dose
Motherf***er turned white as a ghose
Don't you say hi
Don't you say hi
With your broken sink for a face
In a head that just takes up space
He's not half right
He's not half right
It's already half past
And it won't last
I was sticking up for my friend
Well there's nothing much to defend
It's a lost fight
It's a lost fight
Cos when I talk to you on the phone
Well, it's just like being alone
It's not half right
I gave you what was mine
I gave you what was mine
but there's nothing wrong with you
just 'cos you're leaving all this behind
it's alright if you do it to me
I'm a paralytic
I need a chalk outline to lie down in
you know one wound just wants to turn into another
it's alright if you do it to me
I gave you what was mine
but we are not alike
there's nothing wrong with you
just 'cos you leave a few things behind
left lying in the wake
left lying in the wake
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
And I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world
From my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world
From my window
Chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Millions of people swarming like flies
'Round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me any more
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
well you shouldn't doctor yourself
well i pictured somebody else
someone who looks like
what i look like
would you say that the one of your dreams
got in you and ripped out the seams
that's what i'd say
that's what i'd say
he was a sucker for your double dose
motherf***er turned white as a ghose
don't you say hi
don't you say hi
with your broken sink for a face
in a head that just takes up space
he's not half right
he's not half right
it's already half past
and it won't last
i was sticking up for my friend
well there's nothing much to defend
it's a lost fight
it's a lost fight
cos when i talk to you on the phone
well, it's just like being alone
it's not half right
you're everybody's second home
always trying to get me alone
an easy way to lose it all
always there when all else fails
over by the west side rails
but i don't really need that now
i never really did anyhow
i only really needed alcohol
something that'll treat me okay
and wouldn't say the things you'd say
please turn out the light
i get a sick confusion headache trying to figure out who's right
dreaming on the silver strand
waking up to plainclothes man
you little bastard, little boy in blue
someone's gonna get to you
and f*** up everything you do
he's so unhappy inside
he's serious with everyone
and he thinks he'll win you with his angry kiss
acting like he has no needs
wanting you to watch him bleed
made for each other bet you pay me any mind
just goes to show my continual decline
they say that i'll recover my love of her once in a while
but i don't know
i don't think so
there's something that i'll tell you now
now that no one else is around
the sort of lesson that i learned from you
not quite the way you planned
but i know you'll understand
someone takes a photograph
a picture while their sweetheart laughs
a perfect moment in a flash of light
counting back from 3 to 1
that's exactly what you've done
and i'm so unsurprised
i remember, i remember why i dream in black & white
goes to show my continual decline
they say that i'll recover my love of her once in a while
but i don't know
i don't think so
you gotta move
you gotta move
you gotta move
i'll show you what you should do
you gotta move this way
and everything's gonna be okay
it's a chemical bliss and a stranger's kiss
you always lose your color and fall
you just move, that's all
you're just below dallas town
where the sky burns bright white
i watched the sun go down
and the moon lights you up like a spotlight
so stumble and trip down the broken strip
with your planet packed in your car
you just move, don't go far
starting to spin in your circle again
so pull the hammer back, that's a start
and just move, pull me apart
you gotta move
you gotta move
i'll show you what you should do
you gotta move this way
and everything's gonna be okay
it's a chemical bliss and a stranger's kiss
you always lose your color and fall
you just move, that's all
you're just below dallas town
where the sky burns bright white
i watched the sun go down
and the moon lights you up like a spotlight
so stumble and trip down the broken strip
with your planet packed in your car
you just move, don't go far
starting to spin in your circle again
so pull the hammer back, that's a start
