I'm so sorry; please, forgive me
Who do I pray to straighten out this problem? Straighten out this problem; straighten out my mind Straighten out this crooked tongue.... My mind has wandered from the straight and narrow My mind has wandered from the flock, you see My mind has wandered; the man just said so My mind has wandered; I heard it on TV And the flock has wandered away from me All around the world, now Like a big, bright cherry cloud Traveling from home to home TV sets and telephones Here it comes, just like a storm Bathe in it and be reborn Time to let the world know Welcome madness, say hello.... Like a wave we cannot see Washing over you and me Hiding here and hiding there Madness hiding everywhere Such a curiosity Here it comes to set us free Plenty left for you and me Say hello, insanity I am the virus; are you the cure? I am morally? I'm morally impure I am a disease and I am unclean I am not part of God's well-oiled machine Christian nation, assimilate me Take me in your arms and set me free I am part of a degenerate elite Dragging our society into the street Into the abyss and to the sewer, don't you see? The man just told me, he told me on TV Do you think you're better than me? Do you want to kill me or befriend me? And the alcoholic bastard waved his finger at me His voice was filled with evangelical glee Sipping down his gin and tonics While preaching about the evils of narcotics And the evils of sex and the wages of sin While he mentally fondles his next of kin My mind has wandered from the flock, you see And the flock has wandered away from me And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me! Let's imitate reality?insanity Let's strive for mediocrity?insanity Let's make believe we're all the same?now, that's the thing Let's sanitize our little brains?insanity I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head I'd love to hear you laugh tonight; I'd love to hear you weep I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep Christian sons, Christian daughters Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter Purify my brain and hose down my soul White perfection; perfection is my goal Do you think you're better than me? Do you want to kill me or befriend me? Christian nation, make us all right Put us through the filter, and make us pure and white My mind has wandered from the flock, you see And the flock has wandered away from me Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters The white folks think they're at the top; ask any proud white male A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle All around the world, now Like a big, bright cherry cloud Traveling from home to home TV sets and telephones Here it comes, just like a storm Bathe in it and be reborn Time to let the world know Welcome madness, say hello... Like a wave we cannot see Washing over you and me Hiding here and hiding there Madness hiding everywhere Such a curiosity Here it comes to set us free Plenty left for you and me Say hello, insanity Let's imitate reality?insanity Let's strive for mediocrity?insanity Let's make believe we're all the same?now, that's the thing Let's sanitize our little brains?insanity I'd love to take you home with me; I'd love to tuck you in I wish I could protect you from the wages of our sin I'd love to hear you scream tonight; I'd love to hear you cry Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky Let's imitate reality?insanity Let's strive for mediocrity?insanity Let's make believe we're all the same?now, that's the thing Let's sanitize our little brains?insanity I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head I wish that I could keep you in a precious Chinese box On Sundays, I would pray for you so it would never stop I'd love to hear you laugh tonight; I'd love to hear you weep I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep I'd love to soothe you with my voice and take you hand in mine I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time I'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart To cut you open with a knife and find your sacred heart I'd love to take you satin dolls and tear them all to shreds I'd love to mess your pretty hair; I'd love to see you dead! |

Oh, Mary was unhappy with the life that she led
She was a simple girl without much to say So, one day, she upped and left her dreary home And she left all her friends to wander all alone And at first, she was afraid?she was so far away From her home?but slowly, she got to like it anyway Oh, Mary, won't please come.... Well, in time, she found that Mountain that she had been taught Her whole life that she must avoid And though at first, it hurt and no one could comfort her She finally came to appreciate it And she liked it, she liked it?oh, wasn't she surprised And though still alone, she grew so much inside Oh, Mary, won't you please come.... And after a time, she became so sublime She could look in people's eyes and read their minds Though her hands would sometimes bleed, and occasionally She would long for her past and the memories they bring She decided to return to her old hometown And her heart was burning with all the things she found Oh, Mary, won't you please come.... So, Mary came back, and at first, No one recognized her face And all her friends were a little bit afraid When they heard what she had to say, They all slowly backed away And her family took her aside and put their arms around her They said, "Mary, won't you please come back to us now "There is still time to repent for all your sins." And Mary started to cry when she realized That she'd never come home again in her life Oh, Mary, won't you please come... Mary, won't you please come home.... |

We were both cast forth from the same pale hand
And we both moved freely in the shadowlands And we both were sculpted by the same cold wind And we both had armor that was made of tin And I tried to find you, but it's useless And I tried to speak, but it was useless And I felt so bad and I didn't know why And it didn't get better as time went by I was there for you, but you turned away And I tried to find you, but you turned away And I tried to find you, but it's useless And I tried to speak, but was useless And I tried to find you, but it's useless And you're so close, but I can't see you And you're right there, but I can't see you And I feel so dumb and I didn't know what to do You were right there but I can't see you And I realize that it's useless And I want to fight, but it's useless And I know you're there, but it's useless And you're everywhere, but it's useless And I tried to say it, but my tongue got tied And I tried to say it, but I was numb inside And I can't see you anymore And my peace of mind has gone through the door And I realize that it's useless And I thought I was right, but it was useless And I know you're there, but it's useless And you're everywhere, but it's useless And I can't see now in front of my nose And I know you're there, and I know you're close And you're fading away - now you disappear And I try to focus, but I can't see clear And I don't know why I feel this way And I can't control myself anyway And I don't know why I feel this way And I can't control myself anyway And I feel so bad, but it's useless And I feel so bad, but it's useless And I feel so bad, but it's useless And I can't see... now in front of my face. |

Raised by pedestrian wolves out in the forest
I was left to fend for myself I was left in a basket, just like baby Moses To float down that muddy river Protected by the stupid little fairies I floated for nine days and nights I floated for nine days and nights Till I came to the city Bright lights and all the fine ladies Come on out, all you bright, fine ladies I like you just like you are, and I love you kind of Just like you are, and I love you Like a sticky piece of cotton candy In this bright red cotton candy, candy world I'm so excited about the prospects Of meeting with a Stranger in an alley I'm so excited I hope they're rough, I hope their skin is Tough like Spanish leather Can't wait until their dull, dead eyes meet mine I can't wait until their dull, dead eyes meet mine Raised by pedestrian wolves out in the forest Raised by suburban lions out in the jungle We really like to run in packs?and I like that When we hunt, we all function with one mind Our collective predications are as sharp as the Razor in my pocket, and as dull as the ice Melting slowly in my glass My only love is the love of oblivion in a dark room With a couple of pedestrian wolves So artfully backlit by a solitary candle I take my pleasure in soft, red clouds of desire So funky in this unwashed bed for one With the soft, red dreams of oblivion I'm so excited about the prospects Of meeting with a Stranger in an alley I'm so excited I'm so excited, 'cause soon I'll hit the streets I am the crown prince of pavement I'm so excited Under the sheltering skin Stretched out so pale and thin There is an ocean of bright red liquid love And that, my friend, is my favorite color Raised by pedestrian wolves out in the forest And I take my pleasure on a soft, red cloud And I take my pleasure in the monkey's bed And the wolves still howl and the light still glowing red And I take my pleasure in a blue, steel game And I take my pleasure through the monkey's eye And the wolves all howl while the world around me dies I'm so excited about the prospects Of meeting with a stranger In an alley I'm so excited I hope they're rough I hope their skin is tough Like Spanish leather Raised by pedestrian wolves out in the forest I was left to fend for myself I was left in a basket?just like baby Moses To float down that muddy river Protected by all those stupid little fairies I floated for nine days and nights Till I came to the city Bright lights and all the fine ladies Come on out, all you bright, fine ladies I like you just like you are, and I love you kind of Just like you are in this bright cotton candy, candy world Raised by pedestrian wolves.... |

I'm standing all alone out in the pouring rain
And though it really isn't like me to complain I think I'm getting used to it I feel happy, and I also feel bad I've never been here, but somehow I think I have But I'm getting used to it I've never been lost like this I've never been lost like this But I wouldn't be happy anywhere else Nobody to tell us what to do all by ourselves Don't know how I got here And I don't know why I stay The poets all around are laughing in their graves Must be something I said This place is not like anything I've seen before The spirits move around; the houses have no doors But I'm getting used to it I've never been lost like this I've never been lost like this But I wouldn't be happy anywhere else Nobody to tell us what to do all by ourselves Isn't this a fine hello? I wish I hadn't seen you go It's always been a bitter pill The broken mirror's broken still The letters never made the post A thousand more I never wrote And here, on the dark, unfriendly streets I find the comfort that I seek And I'm happy, and I've been happy... I've never been lost like this I've never been lost like this But I wouldn't be happy anywhere else Nobody to tell us what to do all by ourselves.... |

Spider crawling, on the wall
I see him and he, sees it all... And he sees it all I fell down in that lazy place, Where the English language can't - penetrate and I Saw your mouth moving - just forget it and lie here with me Maybe we should just, climb under the sheets Where the words they don't get in the way We were wondering, if you recall Is this the end of it - end of everything We were wondering, wonder Spider crawling - in my left ear Has a message I - want you to hear Hope you're happy - found what you're looking for Do you miss me, miss me at all? Spider tells me, saw you yesterday With somebody new - what can I say? What can I... Spider crawling, I crawl with him - We go everywhere, we see everything We are falling, we are falling, falling to nowhere Hope you're happy - found what you're looking for Do you miss me, miss me at all? Spider crawling, spider crawling, spider crawling... |

Oh, listen, tender lumplings, let me take your little hands
I'll take you from this hellhole to the Promised Land But don't blame me, oh, children, if those promises don't keep 'Cause promises, like lives, can be bought so very cheap |

Don't you ever wonder why
Nothing ever seems to change? If it does it for the worst, Seems it's just a modern curse. Sometimes, when I take a peek Outside of my little cage, Everyone looks so asleep... Will they die before they wake? And, hey... Don't you know? We're just products of our time and... Hey... what do you say? Show me yours; I'll show you mine... Better dumb and happy than Smart and without any friends! Better cute and better loud; Better join up with the crowd... Keep up or be left behind; There's a dust storm in my mind... Seems I can't see straight these days: Doesn't matter, anyway. And, hey... Don't you know? We're just products of our time and... Hey... what do you say? Show me yours; I'll show you mine... Hey... what do you say? Hey... what do you say? Please, don't ever... Oh, God, here's that question now! The one that makes me go insane! I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never, never, never, never change... Do you want to change? Do you want to change right now? Do you want to change? I like my stupid life just the way it is, And I wouldn't even change for a thousand flying pigs! And I like you... just the way you are. And I like your face just the way it is, And I wouldn't even trade for a herd of screaming kids And I like you... just the way you are. I like you, though you may not like me back; I would dazzle you with brilliance, if I only had the knack - 'Cause I like you... just the way you are. I like this life just the way it is, And the castles all around me have been melting now for years And it kills my brain to think of all the time I wasted here: All the efforts, sweat and broken hearts, the screaming and the tears. And I'm dreaming again... Floating in a pool of mud, Try to get back where I was and I... Don't really care... Got a little talking to By the mirror in my room and I... Don't really care... Whispering voices from the dead Come from underneath my bed and I... Don't really care... I like my stupid life just the way it is, And the chaos that surrounds me like a flock of screaming pigs. And it hurts my brain to think of all the stupid things I've said... And if I could change the future I would change the past instead. And I'm dreaming again... and I'm dreaming again... Baby... sometimes I worry about you... Sometimes you're so far away: tell me what to do! I say, baby... sometimes I worry about you... Sometimes I just can't believe everything you do... I say, baby... sometimes I worry about you... Everyday I feel the same; don't you feel it too? I say, baby... sometimes I worry about me... Seems I'm falling down a lot, in-between the scenes... I say, baby... sometimes I worry about me... Getting harder all the time, harder now to see... I say, baby... sometimes I worry about me... Light another cigarette, have another dream. It's the same thing every day, nothing ever seems to change and I... Do you really want to? Really want to? Hey... what do you say? Hey... what do you say? Please, don't ever... Testaments and growing pains: Tranquilizers for the soul. Nothing ventured, nothing gained - Evolution's cruelest joke. Why is everyone upset? I once knew, but I forget. Something happened, something strange; Something it appears has changed. And, hey... Don't you know? We're just products of our time and... Hey... what do you say? Show me yours; I'll show you mine... Hey, what do you say? Hey, what do you say? Please, don't - please! Oh, God, here's that question now! The one that makes me go insane! I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never change! Never change! Never change! Never change! Never! Never! Never! Never! Change... |
