I got it bad
You don't know how bad I got it You got it easy You don't know when you got it good It's getting harder Just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting Even though I know I should The cold is biting Through each and every nerve and fibre My broken spirit is frozen to the core Don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day And wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away You must be joking You don't know a thing about it You've got no problem I'd stay right there if it were you I got it harder You couldn't dream how hard it got it Stay out of my shoes F you know what's good for you The heat is stifling Burning me up from the inside The sweat is dripping from each and every pore Don't wanna be here no more Don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was just for one day And wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away Wouldn't it be good to be on your side The grass is always greener over there And wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care Without a care Without a care Without a care Without a care |

Cenicero mi cenicero
Mi corazon mi cenicero Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero You are the birth and you are waste You are the one who took my place You took a jump into forever A leap of faith I could not take And it was A leap of faith I could not take A promise that I could not make A leap of faith I could not take A promise that I could not make Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero You were alone before we met No more folorn than one could get How could we know We had found treasure How sinister and how correct And it was A leap of faith I could not take A promise that I could not make A leap of faith I could not take A promise that I could not make Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero I tore the muscle from your chest Used it to stub out cigarettes I listened to your screams of pleasure And I watch the bed sheets turn blood red Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero Cenicero mi cenicero Mi corazon mi cenicero |

Here comes another fall from grace,
I'm always falling on my face. This attitude that I embrace, With a love I'm trying to replace. Try to kill this song, 'Cause the melody's all wrong. And there's a feaver, comin' on. It's hard to reconcile, What I've become. With the wounded ch-i-ld, Hiding deep ins-i-yide. Breathe underwater, I'm comin' up for air! I wanna see another dawn, (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter, (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. Take my ego for a ride, 'Cause there's nobody by my side. It's getting hard to justify. And it won't be long 'til I collide. My weakness laid bare, As people stop and stare. But It's the last time, I swear. It's hard to reconcile, What I've become. With the wounded ch-i-ld, Hiding deep ins-i-yide. Breathe underwater, (I'm comin' up for air!) I wanna see another dawn, (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter, (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. Stop breathing... Stop breathing... Stop breathing... Stop breath-ing! Breathe underwater, (I'm comin' up for air!) I wanna see another dawn, (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter, (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. I'm coming, I'm coming... , I'm coming, ' coming... Comin' up for air... Comin' up for air! |

Cast your mind back to the days
When I pretend' I was OK I had so very much to say About my crazy living Now that I've stared into the void So many people I've annoyed I have to find a middle way A better way of giving So I haven't given up But all my choices, my good luck Appear to go and get me stuck In an open prison Now I am trying to break free In a state of empathy Find the true and inner me Eradicate this schism No-one can take it away from me And no-one can tear it apart Because a heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that works No-one can take it away from me No-one can tear it apart Maybe's an elaborate fantasy But it's the perfect place to start Because a heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that... works |

Now I can't look you in the eye Now I can't look you in the eye How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye See me In the eyes of mother's child Turn away When you see me walkin' by Once in a while This melody will fade away and die Just for today Breathe me and say goodbye [Chorus] How many times?

The payback is here
Take a look, it's all around you You thought you'd never she'd a tear So this must astound, must confound you Buy a ticket for the train Hide in a suitcase if you have to This ain't no singing in the rain This is a twister that will destroy you You can run but you can't hide Because no one here gets out alive Find a friend in whom you can confide Julien, you're a slow motion suicide Fallen angels in the night And every one is far from heaven Just one more hit to make it right But every one turns into seven Now that's it's snowing in your brain Even ten will not placate you This ain't no cure for the pain This avalanche will suffocate you You can run but you can't hide Because no one here gets out alive Find a friend on whom you can rely Julien, you're being taken for a ride You can run but you can't hide Because no one here gets out alive Find a friend in whom you can confide Julien, you're a slow motion suicide Slow motion suicide... |

They're pickin' up pieces of me,
While they're pickin' up pieces of you. In a bag you will be, before the day is over. Were you looking for somewhere to be. Or looking for someone to do. Stupid me, to believe that I could trust in stupid you. And on the back of my hand, Were, directions I could understand. Now that old buzzard Johnny Walker, Has gone and ruined all our plans. Our best-made plans. Don't leave me here, to cast through time, Without a map, or road sign. Don't leave me here, my guiding light, 'Cause I, I, wouldn't know where to begin. I asked the Kings of Medicine. They're pickin' up pieces of me, While they're pickin' up pieces of you. Lying on ice you will be before the day is over. It's a case in point baby, That you never thought it through. Stupid me, to believe I could depend on stupid you. And on the tip of my tongue, Were, words that always came out all wrong. 'Cause they were drowned in Southern Comfort, Left to dry-out in the Sun, The noon-day Sun. Don't leave me here, to cast through time, Without a map, or road sign. Don't leave me here, my guiding light, 'Cause I, I, wouldn't know where to begin. I asked the Kings of Medicine, But it seems that they've lost their powers. Now all I'm left with is the hour. Don't leave me here, to cast through time, Without a map, or road sign. Don't leave me here, my guiding light, 'Cause I, I, wouldn't know where to begin. I asked the Kings of Medicine, But it seems that they have lost their powers. Now all I'm left with is the hour. Don't leave me here, Don't leave me here, oh no-oh, I wouldn't know where to begin. |

Sucker love is heaven sent.
You pucker up, our passion′s spent. My hearts a tart, your body′s rent. My body′s broken, yours is bent. Carve your name into my arm. Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed. Cuz there′s nothing else to do, Every me and every you. Sucker love, a box I choose. No other box I choose to use. Another love I would abuse, No circumstances could excuse. In the shape of things to come. Too much poison come undone. Cuz there′s nothing else to do, Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me...he Sucker love is known to swing. Prone to cling and waste these things. Pucker up for heavens sake. There′s never been so much at stake. I serve my head up on a plate. It′s only comfort, calling late. Cuz there′s nothing else to do, Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me...he Every me and every you, Every Me...he Like the naked leads the blind. I know I′m selfish, I′m unkind. Sucker love I always find, Someone to bruise and leaves behind. All alone in space and time. There′s nothing here but what here′s mine. Something borrowed, something blue. Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me...he Every me and every you, Every Me...he [x4] |

Since we're feeling so anesthetised
In our comfort zone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home We're running out of alibis From the second of May Reminds me of the summer time On this winter's day See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end Every step we take that's synchronized Every broken bone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home You shower me with lullabies As you're walking away Reminds me that it's killing time On this fateful day See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end From the time we intercepted Feels more like suicide See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end |

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide.
I'll take it by your side. Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide. I'll take it by your side. Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies. I'll take it by your side. Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide. I'll take it by your side. tick - tock tick - tock tick - tock tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock I'm unclean, a libertine And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech, Your slipping slowly from my reach. You grow me like an evergreen, You never see the lonely me at all I Take the plan, spin it sideways. I Fall. Without you, I'm Nothing. Without you, I'm nothing. Without you, I'm nothing. Take the plan, spin it sideways. Without you, I'm nothing at all |

We were tight, but it falls apart as silver turns to blue.
Waxing with a candlelight, and burning just for you. Allocate your sentiment, and stick it in a box. I've never been an extrovert, but i'm still breathing. Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of) With hindsight, I was more than blind, lost without a clue. Thought I was getting carat gold, and what I got was you. Stuck inside the circumstances, lonely at the top. I've always been an introvert happily bleeding. Someone tried to do me ache (it's what i'm afraid of) 4 7 2 3 9 8 5 - I gotta breathe to stay alive, and 1 4 2 9 7 8 - feels like I'm gonna suffocate. 14 16 22 - this skin that turns to blister blue. Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees, shoulders toes and knees,I'm 36 degrees, shoulder toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees, shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees. |

Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of) 4 7 2 3 9 8 5 I gotta breathe to stay alive, and 1 4 2 9 7 8 feels like I'm gonna suffocate. 14 16 22 this skin that turns to blister blue. Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees, shoulders toes and knees,I'm 36 degrees, shoulder toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees, shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees. |

Stuck between the do or die,
I feel emaciated. Hard to breathe I try and try, I'll get asphyxiated. Swinging from the tallest height, with nothing left to hold on to. Every sky is blue, but not for me and you. Come home, come home, come home, come home. Glass and petrol vodka gin, it feels like breathing methane. Throw yourself from skin to skin, and still it doesn't dull the pain. Vanish like a lipstick trace, it always blows me away. Every cloud is grey, with dreams of yesterday. Come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home. Always goes against the grain, and I can try and deny it Give a monkey half a brain, and still he's bound to fry it. Now the happening scene is dead, I used to want to be there too. Every sky is blue, but not for me and you. Come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home |

He tries to embrace her
She wants him to race her He needs a laser To get it through her skull Means and lies and hatreds Tears that fall in sequence Cold caress Imprints Conversation growing dull Says he's a poet Lousy protozoan And he kisses ass for free I took a vow of silence When he tries to talk to me I just turn on the tv He tries to impress her, mentally undress her it takes more to possess her but in his pocket lies a hole he's got a thousand talents charisma by the bagful aristocratic parents a rebel with a heart of gold Says he's a poet This time he's gonna blow it 'Cause he's dancing with his ego I took a vow of silence When he reads his work to me I swallow words like a Placebo He's strutting with your flesh mechanic Gets him in a panic He's wasting time 'Cause everybody is a star In his eyes Careful not to give your favours To your lonesome fucked-up neighbours I had one who sent me her heart In a tupperware container All the movies in my head They flicker with my bleeding heart A careless slipping of the tongue On just another private part Blatant search for Stoned affection Fights the rust that Breeds infection Meet me at the Intersection Don't forget your Fuel injection He's strutting with your flesh mechanic Gets him in a panic He's wasting time 'Cause everybody is a star In his eyes You think this love is bona fide You're being taken for a ride Wrap your lip around your head And slowly blow yourself away. |

Chinese masseuse,
comes between us talks in haikus, plastic venus. Got a headrush, in her pocket two rubbers two lubes, and a silver rocket. Hang on, hang onto your IQ, to your ID hang on, hang on to your IQ, to your ID I'm lonely Every morning, my eyes will open wide I gotta get high, before I go outside. Roll another, for breakfast burning clouds around, and in my solar plexus. Hang on, hang on to your IQ, to your ID hang on, hang on to your IQ, to your ID I'm lonely Legs eleven, makes me stay up late two fat ladies on my back, and now it's 88. I'm a fool, whose tool is small it's so miniscule, it's no tool at all. Hang on, hang on to your IQ, to your ID hang on, hang on I'm lonely Oh |

Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes.
Like the roadkill, I'm paralysed. You see through my disguise At the drive-in, double feature, pull the lever, break the fever and say your last goodbyes. Since I was born I started to decay. Now nothing ever ever goes my way One fluid gesture, like stepping back in time. Trapped in amber, petrified. I'm still not satisfied Airs and social graces, elocution so divine. I'll stick to my needle, and my favourite waste of time, both spineless and sublime. Since I was born I started to decay. Now nothing ever - ever goes my way. |
