Get up from a dream
and I look for rain Take an amphetamine and a crushed rat's brain How am I feelin Better I suppose How am I lookin I don't want the truth What am I doin I ain't in my youth I'm past my prime Or was that just a pose It a wonderful lie and I still get by on those I've been accused of never opening up You get too close Then I keep my mouth shut I'm gonna run to the wind Where the big bad city blows It a wonderful lie and I still get by on those It a wonderful lie and I still get by on those You can dress to the eights You can dress to maim It'll make you feel great This fortune and fame Wearing too much makeup Not near enough clothes It a wonderful lie and I still get by on those It a wonderful lie and I still get by on those So don't pin your hopes Or pin your dreams To misanthropes or guys like me The truth is overrated I suppose It a wonderful lie and I still get by on those It a wonderful lie and I still get by... |

Cheekbones and hormones
Your only self-defense Lying through dinner And your rock and roll teeth again You've harbored a coward Fed him full of broth This nocturnal sadness Leave you pale as this tablecloth Careful don't you spill your dinner That would be a good defense Then you wouldn't have to sit here On the fence Cheekbones and hormones He's the accidental man Tell you in a stage whisper about the boy who cried benefit As the poet drags the darkness Within him to the light It's only in self-defense That they drag you out into the night Careful don't you spill your dinner That would be your best defense Careful what you wish for An idiot and a genius Standing up to dine Breaking manmade laws Cause I only follow those that are divine And only when you're chased Do you ever run fast And it's wrong to commit a suicide It's only in self-defense |

When the lonliest eyes
And the emptiest arms Finally decide to meet With a head in a lap And a tongue tied in knots Then the lonliest eyes Try and speak You were born for me Beautiful and blue I could die here with you For a couple of nights You could say you're my wife You could stay or run away if you please The heaviest head and the emptiest hands You'll be safe in the light When we kiss When we breathe You were born for me Beautiful and blue I could die here with you You were born for me Beautiful and blue Stay here with you I can't bear it I can't share it With anybody in my little world I can't hide it I'll never find it With another girl When we kiss When we breathe You were born for me Beautiful and blue I could die here with you I can't bear to Try and share you Well, I'm the one to talk You're the one that's free When you forget me Then you'll let me Fade away... You'll always be Born for me Beautiful and blue I could die here with you You were born for me Beautiful and blue I could die here with you |

All of the sun
That New York will allow Is taking one last bow and left Let's throw this night to the fuckin' wind Don't ever want to hear These words again If only we had I wish we did You're my latest last chance My final hurrah This day went so fast I barely even saw you Clap your hands And stamp your skinny wrists Cross me off your list in the sand And throw this night to the fuckin' wind I don't ever want to hear These words again If only we had I wish we did You're my latest last chance My final hurrah This day went so fast I barely even saw you writhe You barely even saw me cry I barely even saw you You're my latest last chance My final hurrah This day went so fast My final hurrah In your black satin pants My final hurrah My final hurrah My final hurrah My final hurrah |

People swear opposities attract
I don't care about that Is it fiction or fact We're identically sad We're got tears rolling up our sleeves Nobody here's putting us at ease Is it fiction or fact We're identically sadv Never a moon on water shone You do here We're got tears rolling up our sleeves We're got tears rolling up our sleeves Pregnant for minutes And bored for hours not soon enough He'll be ours Is it fiction or fact We're identically sad To be with him for just one night would you throw away your whole damn life Never a moon on waterworks Just you and me We're got tears rolling up our sleeves |

I've been bought
It's quite a scandal Just got out alive I gave 'em all That they could handle Then I took a dive So take a chair And make it snappy Tryin' to lose these jerks Say a prayer and make it simple It's the only kind that works On the outskirts Of the sundown I feel like Billy the Kid Don't know where I'll go or run now Like I ever did Is this where I belong Hurry up, quick And you can come along We ain't got time for you To grab your stuff What's flowing through our veins Is good enough I'm the fugitve kind You better make up your mind I can't wait You can run-run-run-run away with me But never from your fate You can run-run-run-run away with me But never from your fate I've got strange and grandiose ideas I never know or care What day it is We can write down our dreams and hide 'em under the bed And walk down the street with lightbulbs on our head I'm the fugitve kind You better make up your mind I can't wait You can run-run-run-run away with me But never from your fate You can run-run-run-run away with me But never from your fate I stood alone on that stage Just like a stone on a grave You could be my lover I'd make you laugh Or just another epitath I'm a bad idea whose time has come And I'll never forget Where I started from I'm the fugitve kind You better make up your mind I can't wait You can run-run-run-run away with me But never from your fate You can run-run-run-run away with me But never from your fate You can run-run-run-run away with me But never from you |

Talking to myself again
My sentences ramble at great length And I believe I have just started To bore the only guy who's listening And the sunset And the lampshade And the TV and the bed But the sunrise always listens The sunrise always listens Somtimes she even finishes My sentences And I don't need a skywriter To make graffiti in your sky Your world is a ballon to me I'll poke a hole And see what's inside I bored a sunset And a lampshade And a TV then a bed But a sunrise always listens Yes sometimes she'll even finish My sentences Like I want her (back) yeah And she starts to laugh And throws back her golden head Talking to myself again My sentences ramble my sentiment I believe I've started To go out of my head And there's no one here To hear just what I've said But the sunrise always listens Yeah the sunrise always listens Yeah the sunrise even finishes My sentences Yeah the sunrise always listens |

Father left
You were crushed Like the petals of a flower Between the pages of a novel A long forgotten bookmark The end of a sad chapter When he left her she read no more And so left all trust Of any man that wants you To dress in black plastic Or sing with your eyes only As though you were autistic Whisper diamonds and insolence Enter misadventure Neither tawdry or resplendent In clothes that hide your figure She was daddy's little sparrow He was a dirty picture window Mister Inappropriate Who washes his hands after He things someone is watching Too restless for education Craves only entertainment And to this day There is no one you trust Father left your mom They say you were crushed Like the petals of a flower Between pages of a novel A long forgotten bookmark |
