Louis Xiv

You swore to several people that you know you just don't know
They pay more attention to press than soul
When I hear your voice it almost makes me crawl out numb
That's when I know I'm still alive

I know that you want to know it all
But you hope that no one notices you don't

Sometimes its hard to seperate all the fakes and all the phonies
The slick dogs from all the ponies
If you see me in the middle of the room and I just can't seem to smile
Know I'm just somewhere else for a while

I know that you want to know it all
but you hope that no one notices you don't

Surround yourself with people that you know you just don't know
They pay more attention to press than soul
And all the time I just sit and fill just getting by
Reminds me of just you wasting time


I know that you want to know it all
but you hope that no one notices you don't
(I just wanna tell them to fuck up?)

We keep hiding up all our Easter eggs
For reasons we just cant say
We’re hiding up all our money
When the tax man comes to prey

We keep hiding and hiding and hiding
All our bits and precious barbs
We‘re hiding all our freckles,
our wrinkles, and dead end jobs

We keep hiding and hiding and hiding
From all our hope and fear
Until hate boils through us
And there’s no one left to care

Well we hide from what we want
So poisonous and soaked in sin
Oh we hide from even our thoughts
Until they come around again


I can’t see
What you don’t let me
(All for love)
I can’t see
What you don’t let me

(All for love)
All come out to play
(All for love)
They all come out to play
(All for love)
We all come out to play

Well we duck and we dodge, we pocket and cover
All our scraps and ticks
Hiding up all our lustful needs so they
Won’t know our kicks

We keep hiding and hiding and hiding
Under blankets inside our bed
We nervously chew up our pencils
Until our teeth are stained of lead

We keep nestling to people like teddy bears
because the good book said,
"Well he who holds to soft things
won’t die before they’re dead."

(All for love)
I can’t see
What you don’t let me [x2]

All come out to play
They all come out to play

I can’t see
What you don’t let me
(All come out to play)(All for love)

We keep hiding and hiding and hiding
From robbers and from cops
Hiding our paranoid fits,
snaps, cracks, and pops

Well we hide from what we want
So naive and drenched in sin
We hide from even our thoughts
Until they come around again

So we nervously chew up our pencils
Until our teeth are stained of lead
And me who holds to soft things
Won’t die before I’m dead

If you want to take my body tonight
Then you gotta be somebody tonight
Use me just to make your body feel right
If you want to take my body tonight
Well god killed the queen (my body tonight)
Well god killed the queen (My body tonight)
Load it
Well I think I'm seeing double
I think I'm seeing double
I think I'm seeing double
God takes time on it
He never made a dime on it
If you want to take my body tonight
Then you gotta be somebody tonight
Use me just to make your body feel right
Well god killed the queen
Well I don't know what I'm doing here
So shake some, load it
I think I'm seeing double
God takes time on it
He never made a dime on it
Use me just to make your body feel right
Well god killed the queen

well a party just isn't a party
without me
so for all who gather
without yours truly
i offer you up my sympathy
for all the girls who think they've got me made
i'd be straight with you but games
are just so much fun to play

my reflection of us
a lovely solitude
while my body stabs you
with all my attitude
and you're all invited guests
of the grand apartment

well a party just isn't a party without me to start it

is life without me merely interlude
while you dream of my body stabbing you
with all my attitude
and you're all invited guests
of the grand apartment

a party just isn't a party without me to start it

yeah.

my reflection of us
a lovely solitude
while my body stabs you
with all my attitude
and you're all invited guests
to the grand apartment

a party just isn't a party without me to start it.

Ah little Stacy Q
When she doesn't have a thing to do
She comes to my house
Well, let's keep that between me and you
She takes off her clothes
She likes to tell this boy what to do
Let's keep that between me and you, ok
She said oh come on boy aren't you tired of talking about sex
I said little girl what do you really expect
And then she pledges her allegiance
To the united states of me
She says you're such a little bitch

She says head case head case
Turn that thing around
Let's play a game when you hear me make a sound
Just go quite a bit faster
Pretend that I'm gagged and bound
Oh how I love to hear that sound
Milkshake milkshake I love to feel you sweat
We don't have to go to the pool
If you want me to make you wet
Can you keep a secret
Because the best little secrets are kept
And you're my best little secret yet

Well, kit kat kit kat kitten you're the kicks
She said let me feel your love
I mean come on make it stick
I'm the best of your little baby chicks

You don't have to do a thing
and you know I like your baby talk
Just make sure to close the shades and turn the lock

A milkshake milkshake I love to feel you sweat
We don't have to go to the pool
If you want me to make you wet
But can you keep a secret
Because the best little secrets are kept

Well, let's keep that between me and you

Well I’m a, weapon of mass destruction
got no apologies for a hyper-concussion
I might, swap your identity
Take pure love and turn it in to obscenity

You say that I don’t care about
All the little things that you care about
Oh you think that I don’t care about
All little things that make you wanna shout

Oh, me me me me is all you say that I care about
Well, me me me me is all I ever wanna talk about
Me me me me is what you think that I care about
Me me me me is all I really wanna talk about!

(instrumental)

I’ll steal your soul
Put you in a club in Cleveland

(instrumental)

well I’m a poll-toned blue-collar ____ in psychology
when I need a fix I don’t need no apology
and all the kids on the street,
they think I’m me me me me me

well, me me me me is all you think that I care about
me me me me is all I ever wanna talk about
Me me me me is what you think that I care about
Me me me me is all I ever wanna talk about!

(instrumental)

who’s your daddy

(instrumental)

He was in the habit of taking things for granted
Granted, there wasn't much for him to take
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder he'd never change

Tight fisted with his compliments, it didn't seem to bother him
that talk is even cheaper told in bulk
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder
He'd never change



And so she yelled at him:

You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get this time

She was in the habit of reapplying makeup
Makeup eaten up by crocodile tears
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change

Overtly individual - covertly traditional
She couldn't seem to make up her mind
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change

And so he yelled at her:

You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get this time
(yeah)

Oh... Is it real? I don't know
But, I'll act as if it is
What's the deal? I don't know
But, I'll act as if it is what I think that it is
If it is, then this might just work

They were in the habit of taking things for granted
Granted, they never quite knew what they had
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder they'd never change

And so they yelled out loud:

You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get
Yeah I know what I should get this time

All the cash on the barrelhead and get on the floor
And all the rest of you, away from the door
And everything that you ever thought would come true
I've got news for you

All the cash on the barrelhead
You never thought you'd be doing this ever
I don't know why you think you can talk to me
In such an uncivil tone

As you peel back the skin from an orange
Remember how you got all of this?
Well, all of this
Is never ever coming true
There's nothing you can do to change it
You don't have to do the crime to do the time
It's just guilt by association

I've been thinking to myself
There's something we should be afraid about
Are you starting to figure out
That you're never going home?
Never going home

All alone
But from what I see fit
There's nothing you can do to change it
You don't have to do the crime to do the time
It's just guilt by association

All alone
But from what I see fit
There's nothing you can do to change it
You don't have to do the crime to do the time

There's nothing you can do to change it
You don't have to do the crime to do the time
It's just guilt by association

I'll stop you right here
I've got something to say
Everything they deserve today
Is going to come true
How 'bout you?

No, you never thought you'd be
In this place right here where we're at
Well, there's something you must confront right now, now

Well, don't you wish you could change me?
Don't you wish you could change the way I feel?
Don't you wish you could look into my eyes
And make me feel?
You're going to make me feel

It's just guilt by association

Well, you were high when I met you
And now you're falling like a leaf from a tree
(Water rains into the sea)
And every time the world goes round
You're getting closer to the ground

Air traffic control
I've been gone, I've been up away from home
Now my gear is down, I'm circling round
And I am coming in
(Running out of oxygen)
And my fuel is running low
Runway lights where do I go
I'm looking down but they don't show

Well, you were high when I met you
Now you're coming in on my frequency
(I can't hear you, can you see me?)
You're cutting in, I'm breaking up
You're too low, try pulling up

Air Traffic Control
Hold on I'm coming in
Air Traffic Control
Hold on I'm coming in
Air Traffic Control
I've been gone, Ive been up away from home
Now my gear is down, I'm circling round
And I am coming in

Running out of oxygen
And my fuel is running low
Runway lights, where do I go?
I'm looking down, but they don't show

Water rains into the sea
(I cant hear you, can you see me?)
I cant see you, can you hear me?

Air Traffic Control
Hold on I'm coming in
Air Traffic Control
Hold on I'm coming in
Air Traffic Control
I've been gone, I've been up away from home
Now my gear is down, I'm circling round
And I am coming in

I've run out of oxygen
And my fuel is running low
Runway lights, where did you go?
I'm looking down, I'm coming in

I can't be so sweet to you, until I find the right excuse
?I can't be so sweet to you?
Come on come by me, you look so good you know, you look so good for the summer?
I wanna stroke your ego, and dress you like a prom queen while you're hanging tight on my attitude
?The whole box, show me something?
Hey girl!?
Can you tell me something?
?Every time I stumble it's your tiny face I see,
You might just make a cheater out of me?
Glass on the carpet, your legs on the couch?
And all you wanted is my love in your mouth?
You're so bearable, such a little acceptable, while possibly incredible?
I want fun ???
?I wanna taste you like you're fucking edible
?I can't be so sweet to you, until I find the right excuse
?I can't be so sweet to you?
Cathedral ceiling, chandeliers, eleven diamonds hanging from your ears
?Eyes like colored pencils, drawing into me
?Every time I struggle you're the only face I see?
Taking pictures of herself with her phone?
Click, click sugar stick, leave the queer alone
?Around the corner, confidentially, you might just make a cheater out of me
?I can't be so sweet to you, until I find the right excuse
?I can't be so sweet to you?I can't be so sweet to you, until I find the right excuse
?I can't be so sweet to you?Well we're driving uptown in a taxi?
You know something? Well girl you better ask me?
Well take your clothes off, let the driver watch?
Look in the rearview mirror push the lights?
2, 4, 6, 8 who do you appreciate? ME ME ME ME ME!?
Every time I stumble it's your tiny face I see?
You might just make a cheater out of me?
4, 5, 6, 8 who do you appreciate? ME ME ME ME ME!?
Every time I stumble it's your gorgeous face I see,
You might just make a traitor out of me?
I can't be so sweet to you until I find the right excuse
?I can't be so sweet to you until I find the right excuse
?I can't be so sweet to you

You are pretentious?With the lights off?
You got your paper jeans?
And your tummy tuck

??You use fucking as an adjective?
But you can't save time in a bank for kids.

??Well you wont stop talking when I'm trying to bang your friend.?
But I love you so much I'll wait until the end.?
You keep nagging me don't stop until you scream
'?Cause lovely little girls aren't always what they seem.??

Sometimes you just have to be alone
Sometimes you just have to be alone??

You are pretentious
?With the lights off?
You got your paper jeans?
And your tummy tuck??

You use fucking as an adjective
?But you can't save time in a bank for kids.

??Sometimes you just have to be alone
Sometimes you just have to be alone??

You use fucking as an adjective?
But you can't save time in a bank for kids

Well it's a shame about Monday
It starts when it ends
You've got all of your work days to play with your friends
You're blacker than lacquer
And smarter than jean
And when you drink too much you're condescendingly mean
Well I saw you leaving the other night
With a dark haired guy on a motor bike
Well my friends said they saw you drunk in the club talking really loud about how you're in love

Hey Tina you're much meaner than you ever were to me before
You're so bitchy you make me itchy
Can't you just turn me on some more and more so much more

Now it's already Wednesday, Tuesday never came the first three days always feel the same
You see you're weekend coming and you're planning your fun, you can't get excited until you're week is done

You raise your glass to your mouth but don't take a sip just touch the glass to your bottom lip, well all the guys at the bar keep staring you down (down town)
Just another see-through guy in town

Hey Tina you're much meaner than you ever were to me before
You're so bitchy you make me itchy
Can't you just turn me on some more
(You're in love)
and more so much more

well on and on and on and on
I don't wanna wait til our drinks are done
on and on and off and on
Can we just take a little bit of time to get on

Hey Tina you're much meaner than you ever were to me before
You're so bitchy you make me itchy
Can't you just turn me on some more
(you're in love)
Hey tina you're much meaner than you ever were to me before
You're so bitchy you make me itchy
Can't you just turn me on some more and more and more

I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice?
Still I can't seem to look at you?
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice

??Put on gloves?
The watch going
?The phone rings off?
In the car lurking?
See me through the window and
?You lay down on your bed??

I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
?Still I can't seem to look at you
?I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice?
(If I'm getting to you)

??'Cause I'm loose slide
?A knife through?
Back door locked bolt through
?Sleeping softly, holding pillows
?Tightly in your arms
?I sneak up without a sound?
Down the hall to your bedroom
?Twist the knob stand above you?
As you lay there in your bed??

I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
?Still I can't seem to look at you?
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice

??I took off all your clothes
?See all your face?
Until the pillow slightly saw you
?Or?
Into the pillow sllighty silent?
?As you breathe gasping holding air tight like it's your last?
Put my hand on your mouth?
Feel your lips on my fingers
?Smell your sweat?
You're looking lovely my possesion??

Again. Shadows up?
The watch going?
Phone rings off?
Car lurking?
See me through the window and?
You lay down on your bed

??I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice

Why do I have to be such a drag?
Or am I just spitting venom?
Maybe I'm just out of line
If I haven't yet, baby just give me time

Did it break your heart??
Do I break your heart??
Put a needle in my vain and I fall apart
?Put a needle in my vain and I fall apart
Is it something you miss?
?Did you sign up to die for this?
?Watch your soldier the human cause
?The gerneral gave the order because the politicians want some money for alls
Corruption kills
?Greed kills the young at heart
?Put the cash in their hands and they fall apart
Why do I have to be such a drag?
?Or am I just spitting venom??
Maybe I'm just out of lines?
If I haven't yet, baby just give me time
Did it break your heart?
?Do I break your heart??
Put a needle in my vain and I fall apart?
Put a needle in my vain and I fall apart
Will you die in the sand??
Will you die in the hands of the men that never knew you?
?Corruption kills the young at heart
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Is it something you miss?
?Did you sign up to die for this??
Watch your soldier the human cause
Used to be?
(That you didn't…)?
Used to be
Stick a knife in his heart?
He stuck a knife in his heart?
Put a needle in my vain and I fall apart
?Put a needle in my vain and I fall apart

I'm free as the bees
I do as I please
In the days, between the hours
I'll build you up, like ivory towers

Go down
Watch'em all fall down
Watch'em all fall down
Watch'em all fall down

'Cause your outta my head some
Lick the wounds off your lips
Confuse you with your conscience
Perverse you with a hiss

Well swarm, baby swarm
Pack your bees, into the hive
You're a mouse, in the field
When the hawk, ready to dive

Down
Watch'em all fall down
Watch'em all fall down
Watch'em all fall down
Watch'em all fall down

I need sleep
I need love
I need fun
I need girls
I need sun
I need hope
I need help
I need dope
I need her
I need it
I can't run
I can't sit
I got pain, I got pain, I got pain

Hope sick
Hope sick
Hope sick
Hope sick

A heart flutter
And I shutter
A hand shake
A heart break
I love her
She loves me
But in my mind
But only in my mind

Hope sick
(If it was so hard to hope)
Hope sick
(How come I can't let you go?)
Hope sick
Hope sick

I need wheels
I need touch
On my toes
On my heels
On my lips
On my head
On the street
I need stuff
I need a heart
I need a break
My skin aches
What does it take
I need me, I need me

It's like I'm hanging from a rope
From a string
From a needle
From a thread
In my head

(Hope hope hope hope)

Hope sick
(If it was so hard to hope)
(How come I can't let you go?)
Hope sick
(Hope sick)

(If it was so hard to hope)
(How come I can't let you go?)

(If it was so hard to hope)
(How come I can't let you go?)

A heart flutter
I shudder
A hand shake
A heart break

Hope sick
Hope sick
Hope sick
Hope sick

It's like I'm hanging
(Hope sick, hope sick)
From a rope
(Hope sick, hope sick)
From a string

(Hope sick, hope sick, hope sick)
