Push

A little bit more than I ever wanted
A little bit more than you could ever say
Did you really think that I'd forgotten?
Kicked out the windshield, water coming in
Fade away, fade away

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want? What you need?
Is this what you wanted me to be?
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through

I tried to give more than you thought I'd take now
Taking more than you could ever say
Push come to shove you kicked me in the head
You knock me down I ripped the handle off again
I wanted more than this, wanted more than this
Fade away, fade away

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want? What you need?
Is this what you wanted me to be?
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through

Hands gripped to the wheel held too tight to feel
Face pressed to the glass, please don't ask
One more breath, one more, it's alright
I could never give enough, have enough, be enough
You could never stand to stay there
Only only only, fade away, fade away

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want? What you need?
Is this what you wanted me to be?
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through
Push just a little too late
I wanted more than this
I expected more than this

Believe Me

Believe me, touched by God
Touched by you
You know I never asked you to
Believe in me, it's all I can do
Things you never said

And wanting you to reach out from the dark
To wake up from the cold
And wanting you is all I can do
Things you never said

Believe me, did we ever try?
Believe me, keep it all to yourself
Believe me, I never wanted to die

I'll take the note, the words that say I'm weak
That show I should have died
Crumpled in the fire
I'll take the note, it's all I can do
Things I never said

Believe me, did we ever try?
Believe me, keep it all to yourself
Believe me, I never wanted to die

So I'm burning up your pictures
Lay you in this shallow grave
So I'm washing clean your body
For the promises I never made
I'm burning up your pictures
Still my love remains the same

Kill For You

I want, I want, I wanted to

You came to grind me into stone
Polishing the angled flesh and bone
The smallest cut to drain my soul
Precious words of comfort swallowed whole

Oh no she said
I tried for love
And I died for love
But I'd kill for you

I want, I want, I wanted to

You tore the makeup from my face
With every acid word you ever knew
Now every line and crack exposed
Exploited fully till each scar shone through

Oh no she said
I tried for love
And I died for love
But I'd kill for you
I never said I'd promise anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to
I never meant to promise anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to
I never ever promised anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to be with me

You came to grind me into stone
Polishing the angled flesh and bone
The smallest cut to drain my soul
Precious words of comfort swallowed whole

Strip me from the top down
Rip me from the raw
Into this higher place
Don't want to die

Close your eyes
Your Christ has come
The crippled boy that you once knew
The charmed enigma chosen one
With painted lips, skin ripped and torn
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
This envy that I've worn so well
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

So drink me in
Like tainted wine
Come bite down on my sharpened cup
And taste the dreams that numb the mind
A simple word
A harmless glare
That binds me with the thinnest thread
And pins me down to pleasure's bed
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my chest
We are silver

So shy and poised
With few regrets
A Judas kill, a complex thrill
A memory I won't soon forget
Been washed out clean
Till all runs dry
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
A hurt that only you could sell
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my breast
We are silver

Trip
Sister I will follow you
This time
Knowing I will follow you
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to your breast
We are silver

Freaky Be Beautiful

I'm walking this railing's edge just to feel this good
And freaky be beautiful you came following me like I knew you would
You tickle my fancy, tickled my sense of fun
You claw like a rack on my back ever thickening
It's just begun

Freaky be beautiful, he falls
And his blood it sprays so cold
On my face, he feels so cold
My crallow bird waiting, shallow breathed shrapnel lung
I'm pressing the beak to my cheek and it's thickening
Kick off turns the sun

Freaky be beautiful, he falls
And his blood it sprays so cold
On my face, he feels so cold
Freaky be beautiful, oh no, oh no
Freaky be beautiful, he falls
And his blood it sprays so cold
On my face, he feels so cold

So I rot, down inside
For the loss, and I will not deny
I'm winding...
Dig it out...
Freaky be...

Break Her Down

It never happened
It never will
It's not a memory
There's no way to prove this isn't real
Never happened, never

You're not a victim
I'm not to blame
You've seen my honest smile
My pretty face and all my gentle ways
Never happened, never

And she knows it's a sin
Break him down, break her down again
It's a sin
Force him down, force her down again

If you play quietly
I'll let you go
If you play quietly
No-one here will ever, ever know
Never happened, never
She knows it's a sin
Break her down, break her down again
It's a sin
Force him down, force her down again

So please remember me
I never meant to tell you lies
So please remember me
The one who stroked your hair
And dried your eyes
I never wanted this to be
I never wanted this to be
I never wanted this to be
So I never wanted more
I never told you lies
I never wanted more
I'm just a boy
Never wanting, never

And she knows it's a sin
Force him down, force her down again
It's a sin
Force him down, force her down again

Into Everything

Quarter slot, the picture's hot
You can be so damn ugly
Flickering is sickening the show
Sexual intellectual
Feel so raw makes me crazy
Pocket full of quarters left to go

I said I'm fine
Work the line
Punch the clock it never meant that much
Wake up, wake up it's here again
Whiskey shot
Drink it up
One more bottle just to wash the cut away
Into everything

My wife's alone, the kids at home
She can be so damn ugly
Her face is blurred without a word to say
I spray the dream with gasoline
Just one match, be so easy
Splatterings of you along the way

I said I'm fine
Kill the line
Punch the clock it never meant that much
Wake up, wake up it's here again
On a whim, stole the car
Heard the shot ring out it seemed so far away
Into everything

Quarter slot, the picture's hot
You can be so damn ugly
Flickering is sickening the show
Sexual intellectual
Feel so raw makes me crazy
Pocket full of quarters left to go

Picture Elvis

for Barbara R.

She breathes through the book
Measures a picture there
Picks up a knife
Cuts it to wallet size
Now she has lived
Now she has breathed
And now she's tasted heaven but the trip doesn't sting
And all she wanted was a photograph

Rain on my tongue
Feels like I'm tasting God
Silver and gold
Drinking the riches up
Back to the night
And if I died
I'm gonna ask my questions on the other side
And all she wanted was a photograph

Mask of the city hangs in mock deliberation
I step outside the wire while the sun strips off my cocaine
Bent like a banshee while my cup is overflowing
Another brutal ending I know I'm an animal story telling

And she breathes through the book
Said that she never knew
Question is easy
But the answer is hard to take
The binding cracks
And the words will fade
But she keeps the picture in the frame that she made
And all she wanted was a photograph

Machine Punch Through

You came to rape me of my intellect
I gave you pieces off my pride
Lay down naked and play with you
Posing quietly looks a lot like me
Your fucking pistol's not so dangerous
Stick it any place you please
Rip me open cause you're dead inside
And what you thought you'd find it looks a lot like me
And you believe that I'll believe in

All she said
One little trick she said
But it was lost on me
Machine punch through
All she said
One little word she said
But it was lost on me
Machine punch through punch through

Another schoolboy goes to hell for it
Believing everything he reads
Sell my soul out one nickel at a time
Turn the last page down I'm not that far behind
Your cigarettes become a torch for me
Burn it deep into my arm
Watch the welts rise, come blistering through
And what you thought you'd see it looks a lot like you
And you believe that I'll believe in

All she said
One little trick she said
But it was lost on me
Machine punch through
All she said
One little word she said
But it was lost on me
Machine punch through punch through

I'm bent out of shape
Desperate to whine
Screaming so loud that I don't make a sound
Strung out on speed
Maxed out on lies
I know you're to blame but I can't say why
And you believe that I'll believe in you
And it's not so hard
And you believe that I'll believe in you
And it's not so hard
And you believe that I'll believe in

All she said
One little trick she said
But it was lost on me
Machine punch through
All she said
One little word she said
But it was lost on me
Machine punch through punch through
So cut your name into my chest
See my mind exploded
Please don't ask and I won't offer any more

This Shrieking Love

i came screaming down the highway
looking for a place to fly
stopped outside the window
it's only in the blood
into the kitchen
found you lying on the floor
there i tied you up in wire
i can't feel you anymore

you gave yourself to me
i offered you to god
wrapped the curtains round your body
it's only in the blood

this shrieking love
comes crashing down
this shrieking love
is not the one you thought you'd found
oh it's only in the blood

it's a deadly clear addiction
a body's breath away
a long hot bath in acid fast
it's only in the blood
on down the highway
looking for a place to fly
stopped outside the window
it's only in the blood

this shrieking love
comes crashing down
this shrieking love
is not the one you thought you'd found
oh it's only in the blood

Low Low Low

Who better than me
Fall into be seen
Draw fire and then
Pray quiet
I'm too low

Stay down stay down
Cold earth to the ground
Too late to be
So real but
I'm too low now

And if I ever wanted you back to me
Too low now
And if I ever wanted you back to me
Too low low

Spread gently for me
Too hard to be heard
With better words
I'm better than
Too low low

Stay on stay on
Too late to be gone
With better words
I'm better than
Too low low

And if I ever wanted you back to me
Too low now
And if I ever wanted you back to me
Too low now

Hate

hate crowded by the empty room
bitterness will run you through
if youre in the way

love broken by the dragons wings
prayed for one bright thing
guess ill have to wait

dragged me out
frightened by my nakedness
frightened by my own sweet smell
i know hate

words spit into a porous wind
violence blows you in
if youre in the way
mine a victim of the cold parade
silenced some might say
guess it came too late

dragged me out
frightened by my nakedness
fouled by my own sweet smell
i know hate

and it brings me comfort
then it breaks my back
precious pulls me under
till i cant get back
and you might be sorry
but this time i know

places fought for left alone
sleep cant save me numbing
drags me out
in my nakedness
in my own sweet smell
i know i know i know

Theme From Cola

ours is the legacy of waste
waste all the things we turned to dust
simple if we would like to find
punished by words im takin

finally pressed youd like to know
known for the trip unfolding
pleasantries building as we go
timid the way ill take it

now memory is over memories over
are you still remembering
never meant to go there
are you still remembered

all through the dress i lie awake
tearful as ive been ginding
only in your mind to make
helpful or not i take it

now memory is over memories over
are you still remembering
never meant to go there
are you still remembered

Resurrection

ive been drowned out by the rain
still im wishing i could stay
but im sorry my old friend
ive got to leave you once again
and despite what i might say
i measure pleasure by the pain
measure pleasure by the twisting
of the metal in the vein

and it might be very hard
cant be more than what we are
cant be more till its over

here comes the resurrection
everybodys got to die from something
nothing ever left to leave you when you go
i saw you strip my babies
animal the way you cut them might be
animal the way i cut you from below

so you goad me into spite
its the cruelty that youd like
its the waiting for the one thing
that you never could define
fill the longing just because
emasculate the ones you love
have to wait till its over

we are the less than mighty
never was a way i thought it could be
never quite enough to leave you when you go
i saw you strip my babies
animal the way you cut them might be
animal the way i cut you from below

ive been drowned out by the rain
still im wishing i could stay
but im sorry my old friend
ill have to leave you once again
and despite what i might say
i measure pleasure by the pain
measure pleasure by the twisting
of the metal in the vein

and it might be very hard
cant be more than what we are
cant be more when its over

here comes the resurrection
everybody wants to die for something
never thought id live to leave you when you go
i saw you strip my babies
animal the way we cut them might be
animal the way we cut them from below

and if anger is the ending
of the thing that weve become
for the mother and the father
and the sister and the son
through the shallow without wanting
realization to mistake
through the ugliness
the open all the things we cant replace
i will control

Up

Leave It Alone

id walk the water to get back to you
and where i was complete
we found you scattered by the highway side too
soon to be released
gathered the pieces up and clean the places
where you were undone
and washed the wreckage out unfinished all the
thoughts that wed begun

i came to burn the sky and tear away
the beauty that it sows
if i could rape the day and find the things i thought
id always known

leave it alone again tonight

i laid your arms out long untwisted there
and shaped what i could find
unmade the most of it then left the rest
the parts unrecognized
my reconstruction was the only way
for one last look at you
i lost the sense of it the absolution
that we never knew

leave it alone again tonight
leave it alone again tonight

and it takes me back from this place here
it takes me back from this place here

i came to burn the sky and tear away
the beauty that it sows
if i could rape the day and find the things
i thought id always known

leave it alone again tonight

and it takes me back from this place here
from this place here it takes me over
and it might be lost in this place here
from this place here it takes me on
tonight leave it alone

Shotgun

shotgun blast spreads like dawning
rip me open feel it coming
bowing down to my addiction
never meant to go so willing
thought i found the something better
terminally hope it's crashing
laughing and crashing
its laughing i'm crashing

sorry that i left your language
found a place of my opinion
galvanized the oversight by
pissing on your whole philosophy
mine is just the easy target
mine is just the carnal weakness
wishing for something
and something been wishing

how long is this going to take us
going on
is this going to take us on
how long is this gonna take us on

you could be the innocent
and i could play the unwashed savior
counting on cancer to teach us to live
tired of all the vacillations
halcion come take me under
laughing and crashing
we're laughing i'm crashing

how long is this gonna take us
going on
is this gonna take us
how long is this gonna take us on

shotgun blast spreads like dawning

Tangerine

the flowers that i gave you dying slowly
on the wall
the broken fragments of opinion
as the dirty start to fall
im not as careful as i should have been
i might not disagree
but for the ignorance of everyone
opinion gone to waste

have you been this far

tangerine the bullet made you
justifies the one who saves you
laid him here and love to see him waste away
tangerinin like a rocket
cracked the cock into the socket
only if youd love to see him waste away

the purposeful delusions
of this weakness will dissolve
the broken promise revidescent
as the anger start to crawl
im just as frightened as ive always been
i might not disagree
but for the ignorance of everyone
opinion starts to fall apart

have you been this far
and have you been this far

tangerine the bullet made you
justifies the one who saves you
laid him here and love to see her waste away
tangerinin like a rocket
cracked the cock into the socket
only if youd love to see him waste away

cause your a child and thats alright
to let my deep blue sickness cover you with lies
and if im low it gets me high
and we will shrivel up and waste away
beneath the evening tide

have you been this far

tingling the bullet made you
justifies the one who saves you
laid him here and love to see him waste away
tangerinin like a rocket
cracked the cock into the socket
only if youd love to see him waste away

Disco Days

of my promise
you let me believe that it was over

from my disco days

to be honest
you let me believe that it was over
i twisted the words to make it so goddamn
easy for me
pity well have to close our eyes

Better Than You

ive sold out every memory i have borrowed
i had bought from you
these pictures run like water to dilute me
lay me over you

and i thought that this would be so right

and everyone and everyone
is better than you

ive felt each slow perversion fosters
dying killed the truth in me
gone quietly gone completely cold reminder what
you tried to be

and i knew that this would be so right

and everyone and everyone
is better than you

and its hard and its hated
and its hard
and if so and if so

and everyone and everyone

BabySkin Tattoo

and i meant to be more kind

if you come my way

if you come my way
we might feel the same
consequence of rage
if you come my way

i caught you on your knees
my words arent wasted
youd love to be released without tasting it
and its only if you bought what i have sold you
and if everything is fine well maybe next time

and if we go quiet if we can slip through
if i could only think only go unnoticed
if we hide the anger smolder inside
wait my time wait so quiet

changed my face again so youll forget me
purified the skin its just a covering
ive been meaning to remove my baby skin tattoo
and i meant to be more kind
and maybe next time
ill be a friend
and next time theyll be the enemy
and you might find
what you might find
maybe this time

Wake Me

What'd you come here for
All the pills and powders got me high
All the way
And I don't feel right
The pain it slowly got me by
All the way

I'd like to like to disappear
You've got to wake me wake me
I'd like to fall don't catch me here
You've got to wake me wake me
I'll fall away

And it's gone too far
And these pictures smash and spin like stars
All away
And it drove insane
Feel the memories crash and splash and stain
All away
I'd like to like to disappear etc.
Oh fall away
Oh fall away

Wake me
Tired
I'd like to like to disappear etc.
Fall fall away

Kid Conductor

Just outside the distance
The voices came from far below
A certain stimulation
Kickin' through me like a drug
Baby come baby get on to me
Baby come baby get on to me
Baby come baby get on to me
Baby come
and she screams she's screamin'
Alive

Such a sweet ascension
(Maybe shine a spot) down below
She's cryin' with the choir
Maybe I could be her drug
Baby come baby get on to me...
She screams alive, alive, alive

I slip my mind to empty
This kid conductor overload
He gently plays the choir
You know he could be a drug
Baby come baby get on to me...
She screams alive, alive, alive

Sweet Electric Child

(hey look at his head)

Baby said she likes it fatal
My love's a loaded gun
God only knows she likes it easy
As it comes, take it as it comes ya

I know she's been playin' with the needle
I've been playin' with the gun
Never find a way to kick into her
Time to end, what's begun oh what's begun ya

Sweet electric child
Got to know she begged to die
C'mon baby say a prayer
I'll be there yes I'll be there
Sweet electric child
Push all the time oh all the time
Find a way out now

Sweet electric child

Said that life can be so tricky
Is it dead or in a sleep
In the crack and in the cradle
Up to me, leave it up to me ya.

Sweet electric child

She knows what it's got to be
Could be this could be that
Found a place to hang it
Sweet electric child etc.
Want to die

This fire that I cannot deny
I'll choke your words away
And smile as we begin to fade

Now touch this bitterness you've found
I'll choke your words away
And smile as we begin to fade

Mine or everything
So say all of you to me

And still i burn

My old machine is worn
Worn...

Sunday Comes

Came around as the evening fades
Something's got to give
I never took it outside alone
I don't feel like I did
And so Sunday comes, not much better than it was
And the complication's playing as the merriment is
dying
And the girl's were going crazy saying everyone, wave your
own good bye's!

Cause i don't even mind, I guess I knew you better than you
thought you knew yourself
Wave good bye
I don't mind

Even as the lightening fades
I guess we've got to live
I'm never going back there again
It's too hard to pretend
I can't leave just how it is

And so Sunday comes, not much better than it was
So we strike another pose for all the merry girls
And the band was going crazy singing everybody, wave your
own good bye's!
And so Sunday comes, not much better than it was
And the orchestra was playing, all the people started
swaying
And the band was going crazy going, is anybody
listening?
Is anybody listening?
Wave your own good bye's!

Cause i don't even mind, I guess I knew you better than you
thought you knew yourself
Wave good bye
I don't mind
You know I'm on your side
Was there any doubt?
You know I never let you down
Wave good bye
I don't mind

im the trickster burn so brightly
i still hate you motherfuckers everyone
wrapped in glory bound so tightly
i still crave you even when im overcome
saved by the light let me go on let me go bright
to be saved by the light let me go on let me go bright
im the trickster burned so brightly
i still hate you motherfuckers everyone
wore my sickness so politely
i cant be your everything to everyone
void in meaning swell just slightly
i still need you i still need you
gone forever so concisely
i still need you i still need you
saved by the light let me go on let me go bright
to be saved by the light let me go on let me go bright
and if you hate the world
lets say ive been there
and if you hate yourself
well don't go changing
all the times i used your body done my way cant say im sorry
ripped the gloss off all your memories consequences so demanding
bruised and beaten conscience bleeding sexually
saved by the light let me go on let me go bright
to be saved by the light let me go on let me go bright

St. Lawrence River

smells on the air see there its crushing the final impression
the stains on the paper
where words fell like water unearth all the changes that never did matter
i think its beginning to freeze here
caught in the rage and the fire of things all the brightness that burns me
im fumbling through like a child in the dark when the nakedness comes i am
shocked by the colour
the glorious weight of your skin
comes alive
and i never thought we'd make it back so soon
might be nice but i knew you'd be your own destroyer
comes a time
and i always thought i'd make it up to you
here please forgive me how could we escape all the bitterness piled upon
bitterness
held in the face of the things that i don't understand intellectualize over
and over
this helplessness suits us its funny how quiet it has slipped to our corners
and worn all our edges away you are watching breathing and baiting
wanting and warming and cautiously waiting for some simple signal
to creep cross your conscience
uncover redemption and oh did i mention i carried you down to the
St. Lawrence river
the banks running dirty the waters beginning to freeze here
solid by morning and i'll freeze here
winter by morning
comes a lie
and i never thought you'd get me back so soon
might be nice but its only if my own destroyer
comes alive
and i always knew i'd make it up to you
i saw on your face such a curious grin as i let go your hand i was
desperate to hold you again
but you're sinking to deep in the water outsmarted myself and so easily
gave up what i wanted
solid by morning
what i wanted
winter by morning
comes alive
and i never thought you'd make it up so soon
might be nice but i always knew you're my destroyer
comes a time
and i always thought i'd make it up to you
solid by morning
and i'll freeze here
winter by morning

Jesus Was My Girl

so he dies and im the joke
a playdoh mask a million miles to go
a suped up cock tease with a little twist
when sex got ugly id insist
hear youve taken all ive got
fuckings over but i cant stop cumming
still born dead or never born at all
when jesus was my girl
she told me
when jesus was my girl
its impossible for me
harder even if i turn it over
im not as pretty as i thought id be
another symptom of my damn disease
hear you've taken all ive got
fuckings over but i just keep cumming
still born dead or never born at all
when jesus was my girl
she told me
when jesus was my girl
im not as pretty as i thought id be
another symptom of my damn disease

Unholy, Dirty, Beautiful

bound to the time on the clock
bittersweet wondering the quiet transfusion
hold tight nothing is complicated
hold tight everythings fine
confidence fell through the hold in your pocket
the simples illogical so it be logic
im cuaght in the diaries with all your complaining
the curious scribblings of one who has everything
leave me unholy dirty and beautiful ne
unholy dirty and beautiful
cherish the lies that you bought
charming delusions go crack in the fire
i know we might be mediocre
i know nothings on fire
confidence fell through the hole in your pocket
the simples illogical so it be logic
im caught in the diaries with all your complaining
ridiculous grumblings from one who has everything
leave me unholy dirty and beautiful be
unholy dirty and beautiful

Forest Fire

what if i were you and you were me
still can't see the forest fire beyond the trees
now i'm standing in a field of green the colours burning far as i can see
what do you see
on my tongue the galaxies so small
here i'll drink it down and watch the world dissolve
now i'm falling through the universe and slipping through the endless
stream of time
what would you find
and i'm flying, floating on the wind again
hoping it will drag me in
can't you see i'm laughing laughing at this consequence
laughing at this circumstance
don't you know by now
stare at all the faces they go by
faster that we live the more we die
now i'm crashing through the open door
smiling in the most peculiar way
what would you say
and i'm falling faster than a waterfall
opened up and after all
can't you see i'm drowning right here in the open air
wishing i could still go clear
don't you know by now
this is what we are
flying floating on the wind again
wishing that you'd drag me in
can't you see i'm hoping wishing i could see myself
wishing i was someone else
but don't you know by now
dont you know by now
this is what we are

Babyskin Tattoo

i am just the gray one im the darker side of you
and theres a place you left inside me
i hope it will amuse
and see this sign carved in my arm
just means ill hate you all forever
its my babyskin tattoo
its all the brand name that youve left
its not so far from me to you
circumsized myself because i knew you'd be too busy
and saw the knife was dull
just why the fuck do you think im crying
styes caught in my eye
and it swells me till im numbing
but ill leave it there to punish you
for leaving me so hard
its not so far from me to you
i deliver i will recieve all the blessings from these things given
tested longer held back only here
i am just the gray one im the darker side of you
and theres a place you left inside me
i hope it will amuse
and see this sign carved in my arm
just means ill hate you all forever
its my babyskin tattoo
its all the brand name that youve left me
and i beg borrow prostrate here under cover of everything made dear
fearing only you

F Train

travelled on the f train down the
people press and crowd
they start to fade like footprints worn away
only stop and still im waiting
thousand faces look the same everyone
a thousand different names
they come on two by two
people fade as people do
came here of my own volition
could be my decision
could be
we may still get by
we may still get by
wandered down on avenue a
the coffee shops the sweet cache
of thoughts and words and laughter gone
never ending stream of what youve
known so long long and long ignored
dont think so hard just smoke your cigarette
and fade off into blue
cause people fade as people always do
consequence comes crashing in
the scars and scrapes and scratches
all the memories died so long ago
time is up but still im waiting
came here of my own volition
could be indecision
could be
we may still get by
we may still get by

Million

borrowed in black you are mine
dont make it easy dont make it hard
dont make it so simple again
so so easy
bound like a child yo uare mine
i cant defend you
i wont complain
i wont go so so quiet again
go so gently again
a million a million more
for you to burn
promised your mother id write
id kill you quickly
id keep you calm
id make it all so simple again
all so quiet
here once the morning was bright
but violence changes changes the light
and now ive grown so empty again
grown so empty again
a million a million more
for you to burn
i can be cold dear i can be cold as you wanted
living is hard here
when im just the whore that you wanted me to be
a million a million more
for you to burn

Final Thoughts And A Last Day On Earth

heaven haunts me kill for a cigarette
heaven is all that i got
my god left me without one word of warning
my god left me waiting is all that i got

ive seen your anger crashing down
all my life ive seen your babies
crashing to the ground
my girl brought me confort to keep me stable
needles paid for comfort is all that ive got
my god left me without one word of warning
my god left me
my god is all that i got
ive seen your face before
ive seen your anger crashing down
all my life ive seen your babies
crashing to the ground
dont be afraid
were all afraid

Mercedes Five And Dime

Underground

Sitting by a judas mantel
underneath where i cant tell
found the places im destroying
only hoped youd be there still
could not find a way to be it
i don't even mind this time
here wed like to get things over
life love anything at all

and when the morning comes
well sit here and when the atom
breaks well just stare
and my life goes underground
and my life goes underground

sitting by a judas mantel
underneath well ive been there
could not right
the only pieces
test out anything you will

and when the morning comes
well sit here and when the atom
breaks well just stare
and my life goes underground
and my life goes underground

sitting by a judas mantel
very well what we define
counted up the broken pieces
here we want to redefine
all dementia memory brought for
all the weakness we cant tell
understood that i discover
right here everything is well

and when the morning comes
well sit here
and when the saddle breaks
ill stand still
and my life goes underground
and my life goes underground

if i left it all the same well it
doesnt mean that its
not personal
and i never understood why the
faces faded its so irrational
as the atoms start to phase and
i knew it couldnt mean that
much to me
and i never understood where
the friends all go its
not personal now

Dogs

orange at mercedes

and its hard to think you got
the best of me yet
i cant believe while these
dogs are at the door honey

whats left of me

120 down the freeway about
a thousand miles to go
cross the border to resida
outskirts on the avenue

groves are passing by the way
and i know its waiting
she picks me up like ive never
been down before
and its hard to think you got
the best of me yet
i cant believe while these
dogs are at the door honey
you came to take apart whats
left of me

pileup on teh berkshire turnstile
bout a thousand miles to go
there the feelin faded quickly
madonnas on the radio
packed a lunch of tea and
orange think ill take it for a ride
cross the world to california
where i know shes waiting

she picks me up like ive never
been down before
and its hard to think you got
the best of me yet
i cant believe while these
dogs are at the door honey
you came to take apart whats
left of me

Breathe

save
save me from this
wandered around the town
all the thousand things
i might miss

and you
think well suffer much
think well close our eyes
just to see the light
pass us by

with tomorrow coming
hope that i dont
let you down again
said im so glad to be here
does it mean a thing
if only i could breathe
what you breathe
if only i could see what you see

sit
well take our time
watching the flowers grow
all the friends weve known say
goodbye

and you
did you suffer much
did you close your eyes
just to see the night
rush on by

gathered all around you
hope that we dont
let you down again
i said im so glad to be here
does it mean a thing
if only i could breathe
what you breathe
if only i could see what you see

said im so glad to be here
does it mean a thing

if only i could breathe
what you breathe
if only i could see what you see
if only i could just believe a thing

Fish

you can barely harm yourself you
very rarely temporarily climb
you overwhelm me
if you see the consequence youre
blind you humble dog youre mine
you overwhelm me in time

in the sea completely real you
can always swim from the fish
and hide yourself
you try every night
to arm yourself
get high every night
prepare yourself to fly

take a walk on the astro turf its
rolling foaling temporarily brown
you overwhelm me
you can put me
on a shelf for hours
a dreadful thirst and flowers
you overwhelm me in time

in the sea completely real you
can always swim from the fish
and hide yourself
you try every night
to arm yourself
get high every night
prepare yourself to fly

in the sea completely real you
can always swim from the fish
and hide yourself
you try every night
pre arm yourself
get high every night
prepare yourself to fly

Comes and Goes

five o'clock and the day begins
i drown my head
to watch it sink or swim
coming down from yesterday
we might get through
weigh yourself
then you weigh your friends
you weigh the truth
you feel it slipping in
ill give it up in an hour or two
well be back soon

i live my life
its getting better every day
i dont feel quite right
its getting better every day

and it comes and goes by now
yes it comes and goes by now
yes it comes and goes but now
getting better every day

trick myself just to pass the time
to kill the day
its starting to unwind
sinking fast in the morning light
we came unglued
another drink just for yesterday
to stem the tide
i feel it slip away
another trip just to drown my head
well be back soon

i live my life
its getting better every day
i dont feel quite right
its getting better every day

and it comes and goes by now
yes it comes and goes by now
yes it comes and goes but now
getting better every day

satans on the line
santas on the line
ice creams on the line
major barbaras on the line
if god is on the line
then guilt is on the line
jealousies on the line
i got you on the line

well be back soon
well be back soon
well be back soon
well be back soon

and it comes and goes by now
yes it comes and goes by now
well it comes and goes but now
now its getting better every day

Mike Hammer

wasted the day
come apart in pieces as she
takes her life so hard
took you on a holiday
complete with promises
of what we lost

oh no i slipped again
i didnt mean to let you wander
took you by the hand to show
you places that
wed never been to
dressed us up in autumn blues
offered up as only you could

every day
is easy money
a holiday
but maybe someday
well you and ill find our way

burn the night and died in the
afterglow we hoped to find
did i forget to mention the one
small thing
a pleasure cruise
for only you and i

later as the ship set sail i found
the deck in easy pieces
threw out all myself to save you
hoping that one shred
might get through
oh no i slipped again
i didnt mean to let you wander

every day
is easy money
a holiday
but maybe someday
well you and ill find
well you and ill find
our way

Tonight

she goes down like rain
she goes down the hard way
spilling herself on your body

i wonder where you are tonight

just outside the dark
she waits by the highway
hopin to go
but her mind just stays

i wonder where you are tonight

ease into you ease into me
fell from the places
left to believe
all from the time
and time is what for
redress the weight
and bury the world
time will save
you come what may

she goes down like rain
she goes down the hard way
trying ot run
but her mind just stays

i wonder where you are tonight

Up

Alive

feel the asthma fill the afternoon
what a glorious gloom
to be making my way through
curiousities the consequence
she brings
what a slippery fish
that the way she swings
i could argue
but weve gone too far

i feel the sun
you could listen
but the sickly scent
of asthma never comes
i feel the sun
flip me over but the sickly scent
of asthmas just begun
did you ever feel the sun

came together
just to pass the time
well she goaded me on
then she blew my peace of mind
bit confused cause
its a hundred and three
its the blurriest world

its the one that i see
i could argue
but it breaks my back

i feel the sun
you could listen but the sickly
scent of asthma never comes
i feel the sun
flip me over but the sickly scent
of asthmas just begun
did you ever feel the sun

Up

Pleasing Falsetto

heat is rising
and the weight is on top of me
weve been smoking
and we got so high
cant imagine
that theres anyone stopping me
we got the devil in mind

already theyre all over me
cant say that i dont want it

and she cried
well what do you think
i would do
when you lied
and what did you think
it would prove
all this time
and everythings all over you
shes got the devil in mind

so we borrowed what we never
would undertake
cant imagine
what the gun was for
for one second
well i thought we might hesitate
shes got the devil in store

alright now shes all over me
cant say that i dont need it

and she cried
well what did you think
i would do
when you lied
and what did you think it would
prove
well with time
now everythings all over you
we got the devil in mind

and she cried
well what did you think
i would do
when you lied
and what did you think
it would prove
well with time now everythings
all over you
we got the devil in mind

heat is rising
and the weight is on top of me
weve been smoking
and we got so high
cant imagine
that theres anyone stopping me
we got the devil in mind

Mansolin

here she comes in candlelight
setting like a full moion over
summer eyes
under colden light
where the waters gone
and the water says
what water will be done
down stream and out of town
floating like a quick forced
screams surrendering
and i called out her name
when the elevator came
but its much to late
to be the same

down down never come again
overthrusted drivin rain
down down all the way up
and shes running
where the river takes her

took your love into the street
cover of the long tall grass
of ecstacy
but hte cities got to be my love
and i dont know
where the river takes you
i remember hollywood
battery of lonesome girls
who felt so good
and i swore on her name
when the elevator came
that the doors
would close on blame
here she comes in candle light
setting like a full moon over
summer eyes
where the cold lime like
a water gun
and the water says
what water will be done
takes a stream to centre street
wandering like a quick forced
screams surrendering
and i called out her name when
the elevator came
but its much to late
to take the blame

Up

Place

jessy is calling out from space
says that she needs me
cant replace
she comes over rips me open
just to see my special place

now she is calling out for light
hoping the wings
of freedom will arrive
she comes over
touches down here
right before my eyes
kills forever knowing full well we
will all get by
she comes over rips me open
just to see my
special little place

sorry i gave back
salt tasted
lightly wasted
here i give back
all of the words
and memories brought by
time came by
promises spoken by me

i didnt want
so much
to think about too much
to abide complain till its over
over and over again

jessy is calling out from space
hoping the sound of her voice
will erase me
she comes over
rips me open
right before my eyes
kills forever knowing full well we
will all get by
she comes over rips me open
just to see my
special little place
so sorry that you changed
but nothing stays the same

Liberation

so we jump back quick so
frenzied sucking on the
cigarette in her hand
a buxom bosom wet like
waterfall it wasnt wasted
so come laugh come love
come borrow everything you
need me to be
feel it pouring in
liberation dies again

and we climbed so hard and
fast so lovely
just like it was before
emptied out her life opened up
on the opposite shore
and i cannot believe that we
conceived what we
were contemplating
its alright by me

please help me cause im lost
and i cant see
which way we go
im a victim just the backlash
of your cold philosophy if you
cant help me i will help myself
or so this story goes

undid the knot the lock the
pertenity violin in her hand
began to understand the interiors
its operatic now
so laugh and love and borrow
everything you wanted
me to be
pouring in like life
till liberation dies again
please help me cause im lost

and i cant see which way we go
im a victim just hte backlash of
our cold philosophy if you
cant help me i will help myself or
so the story goes
i got a sense that something
now im left with nothing
i had hoped to be
as broad as i can be

indivisible by me
indestructible by thee
all teh places that
i had hoped to free
and all in want of nothing
pleasure slides escapes me
undermining
by your criminality
its waht my momma told me
baby just come home
rest awhile
set you free

please help me cause im lost
and i cant see
which way we go
im a victim just the backlash
of your cold philosophy
if you cant help me
i will help myself
or so this story goes

Machine Punch Through

Day

On the saddest day
On the saddest day
On the saddest day
Envy rides her bitter bullet down
Clad to see your bloods gone dry
Sip the luxury, keep the offering
Only wanted to hide
On the saddest day of all
On the saddest day of all
I'm the greatest lie of all
On the saddest the saddest
Hardly felt the arms that comfort me
Numb the body can't complain
Ask forgiveness is to not relate
Beg the angel to stay
Find me here, might be low
I said find me here
Might be right, I don't know
Find me
On the saddest day of all
On the saddest day of all
I'm the greatest lie of all
On the saddest the saddest
Find me here, might be low
I said find me here
Might be right, I don't know
Find me
On the saddest day of all
I'm the greatest lie of all
On the saddest the saddest
