There are signs
Dividing in That I couldn't abide I wouldn't miss it again Burning every bridge that I cross To find some beautiful place to get lost I had true love But made it die Pushed out of the way She said please stay Burning every bridge that I cross To find some beautiful place to get lost To find some beautiful place to get lost I don't know where I'll go now And I don't really care who follows me there But ill burn every bridge that I cross To find some beautiful place to get lost To find some beautiful place to get lost |

Sunshine, been keeping me up for days
There is no night time, it's only a passing phase And I feel pretty, pretty enough for you I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do Sometimes is all I feel up to now But it's not worth it to you Cos you gotta get out somehow It's the destruction that you require to feel Like somebody wants you, someone that's more for real Sunshine, been keeping me up for days There is no night time, only a passing phase And I'll feel pretty, another hour or two I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do Ugly before |

I met a girl
Snowball in hell She's as hard And as cracked as a liberty bell And I got her to Come on move in with me And I said I'll find a better place Where we can spend eternity Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Her mother called me a thief And her dad called himself Commander and chief I fall in love with my love But I knew the kind of worthless ness we have to raise above Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay She had a dream Woke up in shock She had seen Her own body outlined in chalk No fingerprints were found on the gun And her ghost leaned down to kiss me With a message from the sun Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Don't go down Stay with me baby stay |

You get what you see
I saw a rich fuck giving charity Saw an evil emperor wearing my clothes Their far from the best But they might suit you better than the rest Just looking in the mirror Will make you a brave man I know my place Hate my face I know how I begin, and how I'll end Strung out again Was a parliament of owls Flying over a city of canals Floating on the body Floating in the dalles You get what you see Some things they just change invisiabally I don't know where I'm going I don't even want to know I know my place Hate my face I know how I begin and how I'll end Strung out again Standing, smiling on some fantasy island Waving at my lost reflection again But a tide coming in And I'm strung out again Strung out again |

the litebrite's now black and white
cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right pitch burning on a shining sheet the only maker that you want to meet a dying man in a living room who's shadow paces the floor who'll take you out in the open door this is not my life it's just a fond farewell to a friend it's not what i'm like it's just a fond farewell to a friend who couldn't get things right fond farewell to a friend he said really i just wanna dance good and evil matched perfect it's a great romance i can deal with some physic pain if it'll slow down my higher brain veins full of disappearing ink vomiting in the kitchen sink disconnecting from the missing link this is not my life it's just a fond farewell to a friend it's not what i'm like it's just a fond farewell to a friend who couldn't get things right fond farewell to a friend i see you're leaving me and taking up with the enemy the cold comfort of the in between a little less than a human being a little less than a happy high a little less than a suicide the only things that you really tried this is not my life it's just a fond farewell to a friend it's not what i'm like it's just a fond farewell to a friend who couldn't get things right fond farewell to a friend this is not my life it's just a fond farewell to a friend |

The king's crossing
is the main attraction Dominoes are falling in a chain reaction The scraping subject ruled by fear told me Whiskey works better than beer The judge is on vinyl decisions are final And nobody gets a reprieve And every wave is tidal if you hang around You're going to get wet I can't prepare for death any more than i already have All you can do now is watch the shells The game looks easy that's why it sells Frustrated fireworks inside your head Are going to stand and deliver talk instead The method acting that pays my bills Keeps a fat man feeding in beverly hills I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity And i get my check from the trash treasury Because i took my own insides out It don't matter cos i have no sex life All i want to do now is inject my ex wife I've seen the movie and i know what happens It's christmas time And the needles on the tree A skinny santa is bringing something to me His voice is overwhelming but his speech is slurred And i only understand every other word Open your parachute and grab your gun Falling down like an omen a setting sun Read the part and we turn out fine It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive But i don't care if i fuck up I'm going on a date with a rich white lady Ain't life great Give me one good reason not to do it This is the place where time reverses Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses Instruments shine on a silver tray Don't let me get carried away Don't let me get carried away Don't let me be carried away |

Everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell
And i'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling In the city i built up and blew to hell I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Still i sinned all the time My request for relief Down the dead power lines Though i'm beyond belief In the help i require Just to exist at all Took a long time to stand Took an hour to fall I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Stuck here waiting for a passing feeling |

Here's the army
That you mowed to the ground And the bodies you left lying around Talking it out The last hour I'm through trying now It's a big relief I'll be staying down Where no-one else gonna give me grief Mess me around Just make it over Your opinion was the law of the land A single thing that i couldn't always understand I lived it out from hour to hour The only thing that never really changed You ran me all around And dragged me down At the end of the day Don't keep me around Just make it over I've been thinking of the things that i missed Situations that i passed up for this One way love i took for ours I'm through trying now It's a big relief I'll be staying down I wasn't good at being a theif More like a clown Make it over |

this is the place
you'll end up when you lose the chase where you're dragged against your will from a basement on the hill and all anybody knows is you're not like them and they kick you in the head and send you back to bed isolation pulled you pass a tunnel to a bright world where you can make a place to stay but everybody's scared of this place they're staying away your little house on memory lane the mayor's name is fear his voice patrols the pier from a mountain of cliche that advances everyday the doctor spoke a cloud he rained out loud you'll keep your doors and windows shut and swear you'll never show a soul again but isolation pushes you ‘til every muscle aches down the only road it ever takes but everybody's scared of this place they're staying away your little house on memory lane if it's your decision to be open about yourself be careful or else be careful or else uncomfortable apart it's all written on my chart and i take what's given to me most cooperatively i do what people say and lie in bed all day absolutely horrified i hope you're satisfied isolation pushes past self hatred, guilt and shame to a place where suffering is just a game but everybodys scared of this place they're staying away your little house on memory lane your little house on memory lane |

One more little one
I'll go down stay down Sleep the rest of the day Dream new music to calm down Stay down and keep evil away I can hear you asleep Changing your shape Dissolved in some dream As a new one appears To take you along where you've never been One, two, three, four, five, six ? The moonlight tonight seems to belong to me Cause i even though some can't sleep They need some company One hit wouldn't hurt a bit at all Slow down sleep What's ? If it's good shit you won't know And i won't know the fact that i'm dying If i seem to be reckless with myself It's the fault of no one All things have a place Under the moon as well as the sun One more Little one i love you |

O'm floating in a black balloon
O.D. on easter afternoon My mama told me baby stay clean There's no in between And all you ladies and you gentlemen Between is all you've ever seen or been Fit poorly and arrange the sight Doll it up in virgin white You disappoint me You people rakin' in on the world The devil's script sells You the heart of a blackbird Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart Sun is rising on a chopping glare Rain dropping acid blotter in the air A distorted reality's now a neccessity to be free So disappointing So first i put it all down to luck God knows why my country don't give a fuck fuck Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart |
