Midnight

she had a pussycat that peed when you pet him but she loved him anyway
she had a car she gave me just so i could leave her instead i drove her insane
she said i love you still and i always will but would you please just go away
i ate her pussycat the day that she left me but it tasted kind of strange
i packed a bag and ran away to join the circus making fifteen bucks a day
now i'm on the high wire trying not to spill my wine as they take the net away
now i'm on the high wire looking good and feeling fine don't you take my wine away
she had a pussycat that peed when you pet him but she loved him anyway
i packed a bag and ran away to join the circus making fifteen bucks a day
now i'm on the high wire looking good and feeling fine don't you take my wine away
now i'm on the high wire trying not to spill my wine don't you take my wine away no

i'm not sure what time it is
i'm not sure exactly where i am
but when i woke up this morning
i really had no warning where i'd be
i must have had tequila mixed it with some wine
both my girlfriends tell me we had a really good time
but i really don't remember 'cause i'm trying to forget her again
i think i've lost my mind if you would be so kind would you help me find it?
i think i left it over there in the smell of her hair right behind it
the sun is sleeping in the sea she was the brighter part of me
but i really don't remember 'cause i'm drinking to forget her again
seven angels hanging in the sky think i'll be finally learning to fly
take the first star to the left fly straight on till morning goodbye goodbye
i think i've lost my mind if you would be so kind would you help me find it?
take anything you want from me i'm living in a car too many ways
but i kind of like the colours nothing really matters anyway
then my watch it finally spoke to me it even took the time to join me in a dream
we took the first star to the left we flew straight on till morning goodbye goodbye
seven angels walking on the sea thank god they finally came for me
we'll take the first star to the left we'll fly straight on till morning goodbye goodbye

she walks like springtime
planting coloured flowers in the snow
before someone sees her
she's always dreaming
dreaming of a life beyond the snow
but nothing ever grows there you know

and could it be that you're the one that i've been waiting for all these years?

i think i love you sakada sakada
i think i love you sakada sakada

and could it be that after all these years you've found me waiting for you?
and could it be that you're the one that i've been dreaming of all these years?

she's always dreaming
dreaming of a life beyond the snow
but nothing ever grows there you know
and she walks like springtime
planting coloured flowers in the snow
before someone sees her

pictures running through your mind
he's always on your mind look what it's done to you
scream i know you want to scream
you wish it was a dream but morning never comes
so let me introduce you to a close friend that i hope you never meet
how do you do? who did you screw?
was it your best friend? was it just like me head?
what's my name? my name is pain pain
so let me introduce you to a close friend that i hope you never meet
my name's pain
the uninvited guest's come to stay
i will leave the suitcase here beside the door
i know you're scared so let me tell you more
she sleeps till noon
she drinks all day never leaves her room
well you can leave the t.v. on and close the door
she'll cry herself to sleep in a corner on the floor
pain
so call me insane but you're to blame
i smell your sex and fear hey you come over here
what's my name? my name is pain pain pain
how would you like to pull the strings?
my expanse of pain
like diamond rings
for things with wings and fly away
what do you say?
pain pain pain
and if i held you in my arms would you feel my arms at all?
and if i walked you through my garden would the sadness turn you on?
pain pain pain
pictures running through my mind
he's always on your mind look what it's done to you

there's children in the minefield
somebody knocking at your door
it's babylon the beautiful
scarlet whore
war march fly
eye in the sky i can't see you behold
safe in your bed at the ????????????

down i get down no more soldiers at the door
slide underground through draw a hole in the floor

there's children hanging in the barbed wire
bleeding for your sins
war march fly
eye in the sky i can't see you behold
demon has from a porn star to fall

white man took the red man's land
we paid him with disease
yellow man vietnam
hiding in the trees
war

miss katie had an awful birth
it came out sideways with one tooth
and uncle barney had no skin
he fell into the cotton gin
miss katie's dad was a modern man
he kept his teeth in a coffee can
and grandpa was a drunken soul
he drank moonshine from a copper bowl

no one knows that would ever tell
moon shines in the wishing well

miss katie married a mighty man
he held a chainsaw in one hand
she ran like hell into the corn
with the babe no more than three days old

barney roams the mansion hall
with the rope that he bought at the dollar store
it was a quiet night when he heard the rain
knocking at the windowpane
one day miss katie's dad was gone
they found his clothes down by the pond

but she was all alone when she felt the snow
knocking at the attic door
well she hung herself in the mansion hall
with the rope that she got from her old grandpa
miss katie had an awful birth
it came out sideways with one tooth
she ran in the moonlight through the corn
with the babe no more than three days old

and uncle barney had no skin
when he came out of the cotton gin
and then he tripped on a can and then he broke his arse
and he crawled to the phone through the broken glass
he was mad

well if you want to know the story's end
i guess you'll just have to pretend
'cause i ain't going to tell you any more
'cause uncle barney's at the door
and he's mad

scary little children singing in the graveyard
little mary sunshine sleeping in the rain
she tastes like the moonlight eyes like a moon pie
little mary sunshine naked in the tree
deep in the forest i'm lighting candles
out there the darkness way up in the tree
and maybe she will love you and maybe she will bite you
and maybe she will leave you naked in the snow
i ran for hours naked through her forest
i ran for hours bleeding in the snow
i only saw her one time deep in the moonlight
little mary sunshine she was sitting in the tree
and maybe she will love you and maybe she will kill you
and maybe she will leave you naked in the snow
i sat for hours by the tree
and then she looked right down at me
and then she kissed me with a smile
with the moonlight in her eye
she whispered things i shouldn't know
and now the madness starts to grow
little mary sunshine

i'm going to ride this camel into the temple of the sun
i'm going to wander through the desert till i don't see anyone
i'm going to live in the desert on a camel that has no smile
i'm going to wander through the desert on a camel that has no highs
i'm going to lay me down on the sand beneath these stars
i'm going to talk to my friends from jupiter and mars
i'm going to ride this camel through your sacred burial ground
i'm going to ride this camel through your desert without a sound
i'm going to live in the desert on a camel that has no smile
i'm going to cross this desert to my lonely paradise
i'm going to ride this camel through the valley of your god
i'm going to ride this camel through the valley of your god
i'm going to live in the desert where the stars come down to play

i sleep with angels i sleep with people 'cause i'm invisible and wise
i feel you dreaming my heart's deceiving all your candles burn bright

and when i crawl upon your bed you're going to feel my love a touch too much incubus

the moon is bright dear i'll put you right here i'm only inches from your face
i'm right above you maybe i'll love you i'll give and just take

you think you're dreaming for the screaming well i cannot understand
i hold you tight you try to fight and then i'll slowly lose my mind
and then you wait pretend you hate that maybe i was just a dream
but still the guillotine right above you as you start to scream

incubus incubus incubus
and in the candlelight i'll just slip
under the little thing you're sleeping in
i don't want to hurt you but i must insist
i don't want to hurt you but i must insist
i kiss like this
i sleep with angels in the night
i hate with demons in my mind
i'm riding high you all the time
throwing hate in your mind
i know you've got nowhere to hide
