Placebo 1집 - Placebo (1996) by Placebo (보컬) on maniadb.com

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

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

I know you love the song
but not the singer
I know you've got me
wrapped around your finger
I know you want the sin
without the sinner
I know I know

I know the past will catch
you up as you run faster
I know the last in line is
always called a bastard
I know the past will catch
you up as you run faster
I know I know

I know you cut me loose
in contradiction
I know I'm all wrapped up
in sweet attrition
I know it's asking for
your benediction
I know I know

I know the past will catch
you up as you run faster
I know the last in line is
always called a bastard
I know the past will catch
you up as you run faster
I know I know

I know the past will catch
you up as you run faster
I know the last in line is
always called a bastard
I know the past will catch
you up as you run faster

'Scuse me, I apologize
he likes your attitude, he tries it on for size
he spends the afternoon, between your thighs
how's that for gratitude, I apologize.
It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
and her hypnotic gaze.
'Scuse me, I apologize
she's got vacum cleaner eyes
suck you in
she's got magazines, filled with pear pies
'scuse me, I apologize
It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
and her hypnotic gaze.
She wears her tears on her blouse
confused and racked with self-doubt
she stole the keys to my house
and then she locked herself out.

Consumed by the ones who make her
She's a faker, always lets me down
Dressed up like a capital shaker
Full of ganja, drugs are never down
I'll take your hips
Just for starters
Don't you make me frown
She could have been a nutter
So I had to cut the mother down

Slacker, wasting half his life on sniffing glue
Now he's reformed and working for the red, the white, the blue
Plain sailing, safe surfing
Public peeling, back stab

Confused by the ones who break her
She's a faker, never makes a sound
Undressed like a soul in prayer
Buy a share, pay her by the pound
I'll have your face for breakfast
I'm in excess, neither lost nor found
She could have been a nutter
So I had to cut the mother down

Slacker, wasted half his life on sniffing glue
Now he's reformed and working for the red, the white, the blue
Plain sailing, shoulder rubbing
Dental flossing, back stab!

Pay - check
Pay - check

Save the best for later
Be careful not to stain the sheets now
You God damn liar, take me higher

I never wanted the real thing, I never wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing, I never wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing, I never wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing
I never

Slacker, wasted half his life on sniffing glue
Now he's reformed and working for the red, the white, the blue
Plain sailing, wife swapping
Stool pigeon, back stab!

Pay - check
Pay - check

Save the best for later
Be careful not to stain the sheets now
You God damn liar, pants on fire

Cold lining to pour on me
But this one really takes the piss.
It's likely to pro quandary
I deserve so much more than this.

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.

Open up your heart, let me slip inside
Such determination, always tries to turn the tide
Open up your arms, let me dive into
The big, big blue

Try losing
This chromosome
It's my choosing
Down to the bone

Open up your heart, let me slip inside
Such imagination always helps the feeling slide
Open up your soul, falling back into
The big, big blue

Try losing
This chromosome
It's my choosing
Down to the bone

(Blood) dive in
(Blood) drowning
(Blood) dive in
(Blood) drowning
(Blood) dive in
(Blood) drowning
(Blood) dive in
(Blood)

Open up your heart, let me slip inside
Auto-flagellation always helps the ghost to hide
Open up your arms, let me dive into
The big, big blue

Try losing
This chromosome
It's my choosing
Down to the bone

(Blood) dive in
(Blood) drowning
(Blood) dive in
(Blood) drowning
(Blood) dive in
(Blood) drowning
(Blood) dive in
(Blood) drowning
(Blood) dive in
(Blood) drowning
(Blood) dive in
(Blood)

Drowning (blood)
Drowning (blood)
Drowning (blood)
Drowning (blood)

It echoes in my brain
I didn't mean it
pulses through my veins
I didn't mean it
I'm the one to blame
I didn't mean it
did too much cocaine
I didn't mean it.

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore
looks real cute, her lips are sore
slackerbitch, faghag, whore
always comes back for more

Your memory will fade
I didn't mean it
you've always had it made
I didn't mean it
I know you feel betrayed
I didn't mean it
I just wanted to get laid
I didn't mean it

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore
looks real cute, her lips are sore
slackerbitch, faghag, whore
always knocking on my door

You come across impure
I didn't mean it
you're goddamn immature
I didn't mean it
you act so insecure
I didn't mean it
you hate me now I'm sure
I didn't mean it

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore
looks real cute, her lips are sore
slackerbitch, faghag, whore
dripping sex from every pore
slackerbitch, faghag, whore
looks real cute, her lips are sore
slackerbitch, faghag, whore
such a motherfucking bore.

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 gray
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.

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.
And 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.

Alcoholic kind of mood
lose my clothes, lose my lube
cruising for a piece of fun
looking out for number one
different partner every night
so narcotic outta sight
what a gas, what a beautiful ass.

* And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me.
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

Kind of buzz that lasts for days
had some help from insect ways
comes across all shy and coy
just another nancy boy.
Woman man or modern monkey
just another happy junkie
fifty pounds, press my button
going down.

* Repeat

Does his makeup in his room
douse himself with cheap perfume
eyeholes in a paper bag
greatest lay I ever had
kind of guy who mates for life
gotta help him find a wife
we're a couple, when our bodies double.

* Repeat

The means are right for taking, fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless, in the face of beauty
In this matrix, it's plain to see
It's either you or me.

Bruise,
pristine,
serene,
we were born to lose.

Cast a line with a velvet glove
Reading like an open book, in the hands of love
In this matrix, it's plain to see
It's either you or me.

Bruise,
pristine,
serene,
we were born to lose.

Bruise,

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

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.

this skin that turns to blister blue.
Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees,
