Sugar - Besides [compilation] (2004) by Sugar (보컬) on maniadb.com

Been selling it short
I'm seeing sunlight for the very first time
And I'm changing my ways
Hanging out on the roof in the rain
The tragic comedy
I hit the station as the needle hits E
The needle hits E
Fill it up and take another twenty

You're living in desperation
Half the time you don't even know
I'm hanging out your frustration
On the laundry line
Hang you out to dry

You drag it around
You got a bone in front of your face
And you're dragging me down
I feel for you when I feel out of place
It doesn't bother me
I hit the station as the needle hits E
The needle hits E
You're running out 'cause you're running on me

Somebody should tell your mother
All the things you're carting around
Stop kicking the wall, my brother
Have you lost your mind?
All you do is watch the tank run dry

Been living it large
Fill it up and gimme the wheel
And I cherish the day
When you say the things that you feel
Your storm is over now
I hit the station as the needle hits E E E
The needle hits E

Empty empty empty empty empty E

When the clouds of doubt surround you
And there's no relief in sight
When nothing you do holds a meaning
But you can't give up the fight

You think of the good things that might be in store
You try and you try 'til you just can't try any more
There's one thing for certain, that nothing is certain
You try and you try and you try, can you try anymore?
You try again

Somewhere in the back of my mind
I know this indecision well
And you might think that I seem beaten
But I got up each time I fell

I'm not going to lay here expecting the worst
You try and you try 'til you just can't try any more
I'm not giving up, there is hope in here somewhere
I try and I try and I try and I try anymore
You try again

It would be so easy to stop hesitating
It could be so wonderful from now on
And if I put my mind to finding enjoyment
I could break the spell, the worries are gone

I wish being happy was something so simple
If all of the doubts that I had every day went away
Then maybe I'd get to that point in my life
If I try and I try and I try, maybe I
You try again

Wilhelmina remained convinced that her relief was waiting
beyond
The suburban half-life she loathed from the shadows
She didn't know which way to turn until the carnival of freaks
passed her by
And whisked her away to where diamonds are halos

Every little bit helps. Believe me.
Every little bit helps. Believe me.
Every little bit helps. Please help me.
Believe me.

The men in bars and girls in cars made promises to satisfy
The uncontrollable urge to relieve the frustration
The ugly snag of transient life is that all towns are one in the
same
It depends which end of the dog she is facing

She's piling laundry on top of the man she impaled with a
decorative spear
If he was turned face up we could gauge his repose
As the engine turns over she waits for the carnival of freaks
to come by
And whisk her away to where diamonds are halos

If you're troubled and you can't relax
Close your eyes and think of this
If the rumors floating in your head all turn to facts
Close your eyes and think of this

Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky

If you ever want to lose some time
Just take off, there's no risk
If you ever want to disappear
Just take off, and think of this

Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky

The sky is glass, the sea is brown
And everyone is upside-down

Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky

Freak out!
Freak out!

If cops and kings were geared with wings
They'd never learn to fly
They're too concerned with rules that govern no one
I don't need blind politics
Or nimble flicks
Or Lucite telephones that click when dialing
But I need you

Who would I want if I didn't love you?
Who would I love if you didn't care?
Who would I love if I didn't love you?
If I didn't love you I wouldn't love anyone.

So say goodbye to politics
And nimble flicks
And Lucite telephones that click when dialing
It's easy

I'm on a holiday wasting my time away
Writing a book on you born on a holiday
In the december snow wasting my time away
Writing a book on you born on a holiday

Somewhere in this song
A little clue to something (clue to something)
Parts of it seem over now
You expect a real solution (real solution)
I've got to go with what I know
Taking it on holiday away

I've done my share of drugs (they drag me down)
I've done my share of speed (it kept me up)
I've had the strangest love (it's all I need)
I've had the things I need (I need it now)

When everything seems wrong
I need to look to something (look to something)
People outside inside staying
Out for nothing (out for nothing)
And if you're in I can't let go
Short of the long holiday
I think you know what I've been saying

When there's nothing left to all
The colors that you sprayed upon it
Passing judgment on my life
You never really got it right
I can't believe in anything


I don't believe in anything
Do you believe in anything
Do you believe me now

Look like jesus christ
Act like jesus christ I know
Here's your jesus christ
I'm your jesus christ I know

Bleeding to death again (my bleeding heart)
Stuck in the heart again (goes out to you)
Somebody nail my hands (I needed pain)
Somebody take my hand (I bleed again)

I knew it all along and now
We're screwed forever (screwed forever)
Shake these demons off my back
And I can make it better (make it better)
But I can't go on knowing I am
Permanent on this holiday
I think you know what I am saying

I became the big disgrace
I know that I'm the ugly face
I need some time to reconcile
I need some time to heal a while

You'll be sorry when I'm gone
I guess you knew this all along

I wanna sing a little song for you all
And make you sing for your supper
There's a lesson to be learned from this
As you'll soon discover

Way before I came to rule this place
I was king of an island
I only needed someone else to rule
Now my mind is an island
Stocking up on all the guns I can find
Now my home is my castle
If anybody comes around my door
They're gonna leave in a hurry

One hand in the air
Repeat after me
This is home it's where I'm living
Food and shelter for free
Now they want us to steal for them
Now the national anthem
Satellites up in the sky
Pulled down to the ground
I was king of an island
Now my mind is an island

There's people coming in
From miles around
They heard about my little island
They do everything I want them to
When my mind is an island
I start to drift away
I hear the music play
Wish I could say that I like it
But it's never on my island

I am frustration
Maybe you are too
No one is talking
There's nothing to refuse
But if I said I would not miss you
I was wrong

I have been waiting, waiting for a clue
It has gotten so waiting is all I seem to do
But if I said I would not miss you
I was wrong

You can come to me and I wouldn't mind
You can correct me when I am wrong
It's as inevitable as the fall
From the ages of Etruscan minds
Of the springing from cages
Of criminals and lions

Going home where to go
Where the whole thing started
And you know going back won't be fun forever

As you go
Hasn't been forever
Going home
Leaving home forever

Face the door start to crawl
Like you were a baby
Going home to a home you left
And vowed you'd never be

Going home
This was for someone else
Time to go
You can't stay here any more

Find some things from the past
That you thought were missing
Pack them up as you go back
To the life you're leading now

Going home
I can't stay forever
Got to go
Back to where I came from

I don't know where to go
With so few possessions
They stay home as I go back
To where I came from

I don't want you to look at me
Though the eyes of a stranger
Because you might come to realize that I am stranger
Than a fish that never fries,
Than an eye that never cries,
Than people who swear up and down that they have never lied
Regardless, insecurities that others may perceive,
Are benign in the eyes of my friends
I don't need you to see me flailing at my nervous habits
Each one taunting me for being unable to stab it
Digging holes inside my head about what I should have said
Wishing I could find an answer or a little to shed
Regardless, insecurities that others may perceive
Are benign in the eyes of my friends
I don't want you to always know exactly how I feel
I need your help to weather what the epicenter deals
When doubt is held at bay, but the surface rubs away
The sun is shining everywhere, but I can't find a ray
Regardless, insecurities that others may perceive
Are benign in the eyes of my friends

Another person in my skin
Claw and scratch me from within
I hear a voice inside the din
And you tell me
In my delusions I devise
A different face with different eyes
The revolutions start inside
And you tell me

I might be crazy over you / and you tell me
No excuse to lose it over you / and you tell me
So impatient wait to light the fuse / and you tell me

Laying on sanitarium floor / and it kills me
Living with a cellmate I ignore / and it kills me
With fingers clamped so tightly round my head / and you tell me
I set the house on fire explode
Into the driveway as you go
And you don't answer anymore
And you tell me
To put it out and pull it in
Another person in my skin
I wish that I could go again
And you tell me

And as I feed upon myself
I know it's me and no one else
You know and you know
And you tell me
Across a bridge of frozen ice
Is there a lake of bad advice
You know and you know
And you tell me

Just the thought of losing you
Is much more than I can take
Tell me I'm not going crazy
Tell me that I'll be OK
After all that we've been through
Don't you see the big mistake you're making?
Tell me I'm not going crazy

After all, I guess we're going nowhere
After all, the road still leads to nowhere
After all the promises are broken
After all the after alls are spoken

Ask you where you want to go
I see you walking to the door
Don't you know that door is going nowhere?
Then I thought I heard you leaving
Wake me up I'm still dreaming
Don't you see the big mistake you're making?

After all, I guess we're going nowhere
After all, I didn't want to go there
After all the hearts are set to breaking
After all this time I've been mistaken

Even still, I think of losing
Everything I think is sure
There's no simple remedy
It's something that we all endure
Be glad for what you've got
Don't take anything for granted
It's something after all

Just the thought of losing you is all
After all the roads have led to nowhere

Heart holds mouth to words
Said it's gone beyond the line this time
Eyes twitch close
Numb the lights turned out I'm out

The cold is in my bones
Said it's gone beyond the line this time
Shake a little off the deep end
Tell me when it's over now

I hate you
Explode and make up
Threw it in the yard
Burned it in an ashtray
I don't need you
Even though it's all made up
Put it in your box and put it

Show me how you been
Said it's been so long, I don't recall
Used to be this way
That's the way it always seems to go

Tired and walked away
Said it's far when you don't have a place to go
Where'd you go
Tell me where am I supposed to go

Here we go, here we go again
There you go, there you go again

As the years
They go slowly bye and bye goodbye
After you, lead the way

Do you know where you're going
Do you know where you've been
Is it simple is it simple
The chances seemed so slim
In a cloud is it cloudy
You've clouded up again
Your perception your decision
Your decision

Behind I'm left behind
Oh, I'm left behind, I'm left behind
It's a matter of time
Your protection from ejection
My rejection
Protection from the slide
Projection from a slide

Did it all seem so easy
So easy to concede
Giving in giving in
The chances seemed so slim
In a moment just a moment
I felt you rushing in
You were rushing I am crushing
Your rush to cruise this

I'm left behind
Left behind I'm left behind
It's a matter of time

Your protection from injection
My rejection
Protection from the slide
Projection from a slide

I with your breath on my pillow
And I with the memory
I get to wait it out never put it away
When you left with your death
I felt empty when I looked back
On my pillow what you used to say
What you used to say

I...I'm left behind
I...I'm left behind

I with your breath on my pillow
I with the memory
I get to wait
It out never put it away
When you left with your death
I felt anger when I looked back
On my pillow what you used to say
What you used to say

I felt your breath for a moment
I heard your voice for a moment
Then I looked back
On my pillow what you used to say
What we used to say
That the chances seemed so slim
The chances used to be so slim

Now I swim alone
The slim
Alone

To honor and obey
To cherish and to worship
In sickness and in health
For richer for poorer for anything
Til death do us part
