If I could only see straight
I wouldn't be lonley these days I'd drag my body out of this place And every sunday I sleep And pray that my soul will keep for I'll sit in the river and let the water creep Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart You've been god to me Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart You've been good to me Well I've travelled around the earth And still I wonder if I'm the first Human being who questions his worth And every word that you speak Makes my heart sing when it's weak For often this outlook on life can be bleak Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart You've been god to me Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart You've been good to me Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart You've been god to me Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart You've been good to me Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart You've been good to me |

With beady black eyes, the bluebird has died It's feathers have dried, it couldn't survive From the winter's grasp, nothing ever lasts But you and I know, the seasons are slow The rivers they froze, the wind always blows Down all our dreams, the engine's out of steam All of your days will be blessed So put on a smile and get dressed Into the void we will fly away from here All of your thoughts will be crowned You'll be the toast of town Into the view of a million crystal spheres Pitchfork in my foot, I tried the best I could Dragging all this wood, with a rusty old fishhook To feed the figher and make our blood flow higher But I'm a stubborn man, the sun needs my command I'm gonna make a stand, condemnd this twisted land I'm sure you'd agree, but I can't leave you see All of your days will be blessed So put on a smile and get dressed Into the void we will fly away from here All of your thoughts will be crowned You'll be the toast of town Into the view of a million crystal spheres All of your days will be blessed So put on a smile and get dressed Into the void we will fly away from here All of your thoughts will be crowned You'll be the toast of town Into the view of a million crystal spheres But you and I know, the seasons are slow The rivers they froze, the wind always blows Down all our dreams, the engine's out of steam |

Hey - what's that sound in the bathroom
Hey - they're the voices in my head Hey - put your money where your head lays Hey - never sleep in your bed Hey - organise random chaos Hey - sinking deep in the sand Hey - link your arm to span another Hey - then you clap your clammy hands Creepy crawlies makes the best of life they can But I'm not overwhelmed, understand? Days are dropping like a ripe tomato And baby, I've grown into a different man Ghost Writer in the heart of the duplicated system everywhere I look Ghost Writer makes a start in the duplicated system with a brand new hook Hey Hey - living up a hollow treehole Hey - making secret documents Hey Hey - taking pictures of he suburbs Hey Hey - you wonder where the money went I've seen it, heard it all before I've seen it, heard it all before Creepy crawlies makes the best of life they can But I'm not overwhelmed, understand? Days are dropping like a ripe tomato And baby, I've grown into a different man Ghost writer in the heart of the duplicated system everywhere I look Ghost writer makes a start in the duplicated system with a brand new book Ghost writer in the heart of the duplicated system everywhere I look Ghost writer makes a start in the duplicated system with a brand new hook... |

Sister Renee, the jack of all trades
Don't put that hatchet in my back, in my back Watch myself fade on the bed that was made Not by nurse Ratchet but by you, yeah by you Your uniform fits the charm and the wit Life on the top floor, by my side, by my side I'm down in a pit with nowhere to sit With a wrought iron door that separates us, separates You gave me some poppyseed And we lay here for hours Heal these blisters, sacred sister I will miss her so Heal these blisters, sacred sister I will miss her so Sister Renee, you've got it made Moving to a place that is warm, oh so warm What can I say, I want you to stay I'll touch your face with my fingers and my thumbs You gave me some poppyseed And we lay here for hours Heal these blisters, sacred sister I will miss her so Heal these blisters, sacred sister I will miss her so I will miss her so, I will miss her so I will miss her so |

Down in the valley where the river flows There's a man with a long black coat Rain is falling and clouds that are black On the coffin that starts to float Children they cry When they look eye to eye Stay in your home When the undertaker roams Your town The Funeral director is a busy man He must do the job on time Tape measures, nails and a clawhammer beckon To bind the wood that binds Children they cry When they look eye to eye Stay in your home When the undertaker roams Your town Blind as a bat Chain up the soul Don't chew the fat Just hide in a hole Down in the valley where the river flows There's a man with a long black coat Rain is falling and clouds that char black On the coffin that starts to float Children they cry When they look eye to eye Stay in your home When the undertaker roams Your town Blind as a bat Chain up the soul Don't chew the fat Just hide in a hole |

When the clock strikes dead on midnight
books fly through the hall All the lampshades turn and rotate She walks through the wall With hands in pockets I search for rockets that might light up the sky Have become more withdrawn since I was first born But I never know why I see my body float like leaves Every day I want to breathe Rap my knuckles 'til they bleed A river deep If I had sharp claws I'd get on all fours and scratch your back for free But it's been written, these nails are bitten I know what I could be I see my body float like leaves Every day I want to breathe Rap my knuckles 'til they bleed A river deep |

Making an appearance at the club tonight
Playing some songs that I think are alright I'm not post-modern just a man who can bark And bite with teeth that leave a mark In the winter your eyes are gray But in the spring they sparkle away I'm on a mission to make some amends Whilst I'm gone this might all end Oh, it's like I'm part of the jetset Respectively, I haven't been that reckless yet Drift through the air like a paper plane Rainbow colors pulsate through the brain I'm aware that I'm speaking but the words come out wrong So I'll put it across in a simple song Oh, it's like I'm part of the jetset Respectively, I haven't been that reckless Never have I been part of any scene Just remember this, it's just you and me You're alone it's true, I break my bones for you My soul is constantly beaten black and blue Never have I been part of any scene Just remember this, it's just you and me Ooh, jetsetter, ooh, jetsetter Ooh, jetsetter, ooh, jetsetter Ooh, jetsetter, ooh, jetsetter Ooh, jetsetter |

You know it feels nice, watching the sun come up
and I쨈ve realised I can never return Oh babe it feels good, watching the sun come up I can attack the day with the will to burn And the sky is a picture of violence Blood red and steely blue It has beauty that could never be silenced Oh yeah it reminds me of you And if you쨈re broken down lying face on the ground it쨈s too late For i쨈ve seen it all as the shadows fall When the dawn breakes I could never be beyond repair I could never be beyond repair Watching the sun come up And my hands; they are shaking Whilst my feet they cannot turn It쨈s all making sense; I쨈m finally taking Each day with the will to burn And the sky is a picture of violence Blood red and steely blue It has beauty that could never be silenced Oh yeah it reminds me of you And if you쨈re broken down lying face on the ground it쨈s too late For i쨈ve seen it all as the shadows fall When the dawn breakes I could never be beyond repair I could never be beyond repair Watching the sun come up It all could happen if I want it to (x 4) It feels nice watching the sun come up and I쨈ve realised I can never return Babe it feels good watching the sun come up I can attack the day with the will to burn... |

Oh beware of bleeding lung
and bugs that eat their young The demons in your head The wolves under your bead The bones of dinosaurs hidden below the floors They rattle and they shake and make the sound that... Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly Fireflies take flight The sandman you must trust he sprinkles golden dust The howling of the owl makes me sleepwalk on clouds A thousand pianos play I still hear them the next day A barrel full of snakes they make the sound that... Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly Fireflies take flight The thorn that stays so firmly in my side These fireflies leave me behind The bones of dinosaurs hidden below the floors They rattle and they shake and make the sound that... Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly Fireflies... Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly Fireflies take flight |

Oh baby, can't you see
When you get mad at me Your eyes light up your face Oh baby, just a minute If both my wrists were sled you're banish them a new style and grace And it's not over I don't think it will be We are joined at the hips like siamese twins That's a metaphor The feelings that I store I confess I love you so I confess I love you so I confess I love you so But you know With you I'll never bored Yes man, you struck a chord That makes me shiver and mumble I'm jumping at the bid I need my daily fix Oh my Oh world will crumble And it's not over I don't think it will be We are joined at the hips like siamese twins That's a metaphor The feelings that I store I confess I love you so I confess I love you so I confess I love you so But you know Come wrap your arms around Your man who is back in town Who loves to watch you smile Don't know if I should laugh or cry With you sleeping by my side I hear your silencefull minds And it's not over I don't think it will be We are joined at the hips like siamese twins That's a metaphor The feelings that I store I confess I love you so I confess I love you so I confess I love you so But you know |

Take me far away
And make me lose control For now I need to pray Think of forgotten souls Disappear from every sphere Watch them high Then slowly die Then slowly die If you shut your eyes You'll float through the blackest hole So sure in night time sky You see forgotten souls Disappear from every sphere Watch them high Then slowly die Then slowly die Then slowly die Then slowly die Then slowly die...etc |

I've been disguised by sunken eye
I sleep in cars and shout at stars The killer said I'm not quite dead [Unverified] replied then I must hide Please don't say I'm stuck in wood That I could sink like metal should And I see the ocean envelope me Like I was meant to be a baby And I see the ocean envelope me Like I was meant to be a baby An old scrap heap, I heard him creep He sawed the rust and struck at dusk All my hope he crushed and choked So my life won't wait inside this crate And please don't say I'm stuck in wood That I could sink like metal should And I see the ocean envelope me Like I was meant to be a baby And I see the ocean envelope me Like I was meant to be a baby, oh |
