Deus

Wasted and wounded, erased with the night
One man's conviction is another man's lie
I said you could find me where the nighthawks fly
and I'll be there a while, yes I'll be there a while.

Dustpaper coupons, there's a guy by the door
he said: "What makes me quit makes you go back for more".
This place isn't real man, this girl is a whore
watch me fall to the floor, but I'll go back for more.

Sometimes I wander

So I finally found you, and I lost you to love
No it sure wasn't this I was... thinkin' of
Put your silhouette on me and your sweetness above
and I can't get enough, no I can't get enough.

Wasted and wounded, this ain't no way to die
one man's cold turkey is another man's high
I said you could find me where the nighthawks fly
and I'll be there a while, yes I'll be there a while.

Sometimes I wander

Down on the floor, got a closer look at hell
You see, somebody pushed me, I just pretended that I fell.
I said that I adored you, but I could never tell


for all that I know I'll be gone when you go.

Music went through you and took you to a place
There ain't no doubt you'll find a welcoming embrace
I said that I loved you, another hawk in space
and you'll be there for a while and I'll be there for a while

Finding my own inarticulate prose
Weirding out strangers and laughing at those
Jaundiced and jaded postured and posed
Not that we're special, it's just that we're
Closing in on a place where we might get to be
Living real people regularly
Send you some stuff and be good like you asked
Must promise remember the sixth and the last

Thanks for anonymous invisible
Take us away
Thanks for not breaking like they wanted
Take us away
Wake me and say "Take us away"

He went to the bottom, put his soul on fire
He went to the bottom, put his soul on fire
New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night
New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night

Maybe he got the rhyme
Maybe he got the eyes
Maybe he got the time
Counter clock wise

Yeah
He said, he said

New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night
New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night

Maybe he got the song
Maybe he got the size
Maybe he got it wrong
Counter clock wise

Yeah
He said, "No more loud music"
He said, "No more loud music"
He said, "No more loud music"
He said, "No more loud music"

Into temptation, over in doubt
Black night, neonlight into my house
talking talking talking about
Out of frustration, over in doubt
Hold me now, I'm hoping that you can explain
Little Arithmetics
Got me down, they're fooling me again and again
Little Arithmetics
Got me down
Sometimes I feel like going down south Sometimes I'm feeling alright
Sometimes I feel like I'm over and out Sometimes I'm losing my mind


Talking talking talking about Sometimes the day is the night
Into temptation, over in doubt Sometimes I don't wanna fight
Hold me now,
I'm hoping that you can explain
Little Arithmetics
Got me down, they're fooling me again and again
Little Arithmetics
Got me down

Someone could say: "I don't belong here"
No one could say: "Isn't it all clear?"
I'm blowing a phrase out in the open
Out on the street, just gimme the heat

I'll suck the flame to me
I'll suck it in, I'm o.k. I should be

You cut me deep, you know how to do it
my motives are cheap, you know how I do it
so when do we go, where do we meet
I'll give you my sorrow, you'll give me the heat

I'll suck the flame to me
I'll suck it in

Some erotic feel
keeps coming on
it's so unreal
I come undone
then I look back (I find a frame already built)
when I look back (it's still waiting to be filled)
I find it had
flickered for a minute and then it was gone

Someone could say: "I don't belong here"
Every night, every day, just gimme the heat

Some erotic feel
keeps coming on
it's so unreal


I come undone
Some shady deal
Despite the black
the light gets in
through every crack
then I look back (I find a frame already built)
when I look back (it's still waiting to be filled)
why is it that (time between and no time left)
why is it not (sweeter than I ever thought)
How can it last (make it last a minute more)
How can it last (make it last a little more)
How can it last (make it last a little more)
How can it last (make it last a minute more)

I been around the bend
I can't remember when
but my great misery
it means a lot to me
you been around, I know
and me I'm just to slow
I'm craving more and more
I'm craving more and more
I'm craving more and more
Gimme, gimme the heat

I'm caught in the flow of things
My memory's a broken machine
This is how my day begins
This is just one day unseen

Let's do it serpentine any time
Let's do it right here
Let's do it serpentine, I don't mind
Let's do it right here

Is it bad that you're good for me?
Did I love you just randomly?
I'm caught in the flow of sound
And you're just some melody

Let's do it serpentine any time
Let's do it right here
Let's do it serpentine, I don't mind
Let's do it right here

There's a cute little litany
Put it on my shoulder
Eight o'clock and we agree
It makes me look much older

One, two, in fire
One, two, in fire

Got my clockworks company
I got my dark green trench coat on
I'm sure it will always be
Someone staying and someone gone

Let's do it serpentine any time
Let's do it right here
Let's do it serpentine, I don't mind
Let's do it right here

That's right I aim to please
That's right I aim to please
I'm acting like some kind of Victorian serf child
I have considered the possibility of trading fluids
On the platform of the underground station
But I have watched and I have seen
And I have counted all the passers-by
Me and my friend here we have been engaged
In a search for some time months now
For houses hotels and highlights, experienced midwives
For money to turn into medicine
And what do we find?
What do we find?
What do we find?
A shocking lack thereof. But wait...
Wear your moonboots, they suit you too
And more like Elvis Presley on the booze
Believe that you have everything to lose
That's right I aim to please
That's right I aim to please
Pay a visit to a nurse to have your head deloused


Talk for hours about the politics of Mickey Mouse
You know how it is
Nighttimes, gotta get out of the house
Gotta get out of the house
Gotta get out of the house
Gotta get out of the house
My life is for pleasure, a wiggle in flesh
I'm soaked and in malice, I'm all in distress
And as I was promised my life is for rage
My guide is a drunk and a female bouquet
My life's been mistaken for garbage and gold
My life is in private, I gotta move on 'till I'm old
'Till I'm old, 'till I'm old
I gotta move on 'till I'm old
I gotta move on 'till I'm old
That's right I aim to please
'Till I'm old, 'till I'm gone
'Till I'm gone, 'till I'm gone

Well, good evening to all my friends

I think it goes to show that
The more you get, the more you got
The more you want some more

'Cause it's super sexy, super cool
The way they walk the avenue
But it's a sadder day than yesterday
So it kinda makes 'em super blue

Spastic Sam and Eric Drew
Make supermarkets super flue
But they're just on time
For the rendezvous

I know it goes to show that
The more you get, the more you got
The more you want some more

Some people go out and buy stuff
They see in windows
I don't need no ring, no car, no watch
Baby I got all I need

I know it goes to show that
The more you get, the more you got
The more you want some more

Some people go out and buy stuff
They've seen in books
I don't need no leather jacket
Baby, I'm warm when I'm with you

Do you remember the festival
We took those drugs I never thought I'd get into that pumpin' stuff
A thousand eyes won't recognise us
'Cause I know you and you know me
That's all you need and all I think of
I know this ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
So don't run into the crowd
We got on there way too soon
'Cause it takes some time to get the picture
6 to 60 camera zoom oh my god I hate this mixture
Of all these crazy crazy tunes that keep on buzzin' in my head now
I know this ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
So don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd


Do you remember the festival in 94 with 90 fuckups
Don't wanna meet all of your friends
The ones you like the ones you'd lock up
'Cause you're out there in the atmosphere
It makes me sick just to think about it
I know this ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
So don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd

That's a really nice sound
That's a nice sound
That's what I call a nice sound
Wanting missing, having letting, knowing forgetting, showing climbing, falling sucking,
breathing lying, loosing missing
You make me feel
Happy clumsy, angry rash, cripple silly, little smaller, taller witty, hasty sexy, weary ugly
You make me feel
In there neither, someone several, all round in time, more off instant, more like therefore,
pinned on hardly, in there often
You make me feel
Envy fucking, waisting sighing, coping bragging, coughing dying, laughing plastifying and
crying
You make me feel
My sister
Got nowhere to hide
I missed her
But deep down inside
We drive
Keep our hands on the wheel


We drive
You know how it feels
In my dream on my back, on those pills make it till, by the sea
You make me feel
On my left by my side, on your lap heavy foot, hurt and heal
You make me feel
Blinded by ready for, always yours cardiac, filthy guilty pleasure
You make me feel
My sister
Got nowhere to hide
I missed her
But deep down inside
We drive
Keep our hands on the wheel
We drive
You know how it feels
My sister

Stone go slow
Find the right moment to stop the show
The nighttime gets weary of implecations afterglow
Thinking: "Easy come, easy go"
You got here too late, it's often so

I guess that's why
I hope I get old before I die
Admit it turned out okay for someone who didn't try
Thinking it's time to get a hold


You got here too late, it's always so
it's always so, it's always so
it's always so, it's always so

Who could tell the story better
About the things that I went through?
Some were great but most were terrifying
And so spooky too

Had to get out of there to hide away
Had to get out of there to find my way
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is

Need I say my only wish was
To escape my earthly life
High skies were no option whereas
Diving deep in oceans wide

Was the way for me to hide away?
A possibility to leave today
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is

Under the sea, is where I'll be
No talking 'bout the rain no more
I wonder what thunder will mean
When only in my dream
The lightning comes before the roar

Circumstantial situations
Now I know what people meant
Beware of the implications
God, I've had enough of them

Decided to be brave and hide away
Just picking out a wave and slide away
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is

Maybe taking it another hour
Then taking away the pain
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is

Under the sea, is where I'll be
No talking 'bout the rain no more
I wonder what thunder will mean
When only in my dream
The lightning comes before the roar

Under the sea, down here with me
I find I'm not the only one
Who ponders what life would mean
If we hadn't been so disappointed in the sun

And that's why we're thinking
That's why we're drinking in a bar under the sea

Rose said quote it's time to make a mess
Time will be soon mine in time I guess
She's painting on my back a beautiful flowerpot
And she treats me she treats me she treats me like her local god

Rose said quote it's time to make a mess
This one's yours and yours is self obsessed
She's painting on my back a green tom, the beefheart one
And she cuddles and she coos and she cuts the bullshit I confessed

She said:"Don't look my way
What can I possibly say
I've never seen you before today
I'm just the one that makes you think of the one
that makes you feel you're the one"

But thank you for the roses, for the roses
so thank you for the roses, for the roses
thank you for the roses, for the roses
thank you for the roses, for the roses

Rose said quote it's time to make a mess
remind me what it is that I do best
She's painting on my back some beautiful something sweet


And she treats me she treats me she beats me

Rose said quote my time has come at last
Ugly things through my mind they have passed
She's scratching on my back 'if this boy believes me'
She leaves me, deceives me and takes those flowers just to please me.....

Rose don't mind where she been
She been blind
She been mine
All this time
She been kind
She been mine
She said: "Thank you for the roses, for the roses" (just to please me)
Thank you for the roses, for the roses(just to please me)
Thank you for the roses, for the roses(just to please me)
Thank you for the roses, for the roses(just to please me)
Thank you.

Wake me up before I sleep and I'll promise you that I'll concentrate
On only the last frame
Cover only one sound
Some kinda sweet, weird kinda strange around me
Wake me up before I sleep
Can't you see too many colours here, colours there, colours everywhere
Cover only one ground, the blackest of blacks I don't want to surround me
There's nothing I can say, that isn't gonna be
There's nothing I can do, that isn't gonna be a mistake


Wake me up before I sleep now
I haven't had an inch of what I thought I got from this awful high
Cover me in one dye
Just lie here with me we'll let the train go by
There's nothing I can say, that isn't gonna be
There's nothing in my way, I know it's gonna be a mistake

So you're suffering. I know it hurts a lot if it's the first time.
Whenever I begin, make sure to keep my empathy inside.
The harder that it gets, the more the company will do you all in.
Here comes another hit.
This isn't dying, it's just a slow way of falling

You place your frown
heavely down on me and
and try make me weak
too lame to speak, I

Only 'cause of love, (push me don't calm me. Can't win just blame me)
love's the only thing that makes me do this. (We're on the edge of something)
No power from above, (That says if your able)
you do it to yourself, (survive this we've made it)
I'll help you through this (It's out of my system, it hit while our playing)
There's beauty in this place, (It helped me I'm staying)
it took me all these years to realise. (These blows mark a new deal)

(The truth is the threat's real)

Hype up and go hatch a plan (Do you know what this means to me?)


tag onto someone who can (You've respect and no dignity. Do you?)
Believe it
Noble designs slip away (With your backs to the outside you'll burn)
Slide into morbid decay (Your bubble won't block out the sun)
I'm leaving

Come and feel what it does to me,
so much more than fantasy
put your panic on hold, amplify your very soul
and keep breathing.

So you're suffering. I know it hurts a lot if it's the first time.
Whenever I begin, make sure to keep my empathy inside.
The agony preserved, your eyes are slowly losing all their softness.
The alcohol and thyme, so good must be a crime
I see you're fighting

Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done?
All my life I've only loved the one.
I was taught to be tolerant and plain
I was taught a million things I can't explain.
It must have been the hatred in her eyes
It must have been the power to her lies
Sister tell me there's a place where I can hide
Oh my sweet this is how it did unfold
no my body never felt so calm and cold.
All around us there were people in the park.
No my senses never felt so clear and stark.
And I swear that she saw it in my way
and I'm sure that she heard it in my voice
Sister tell me please I didn't have a choice.
I enjoyed to see her being idle
she never had no worries, nothing vital
from the day I met her to the final... afternoon.
There was something there I can't describe it
we were kicking ass we didn't fight it.
She never once suspected, that she had it... coming soon.
Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done?
all my life I've only loved the one.
I was raised with compassion and they said


I was loved for the loving that I spread
Now the only thing remaining is this chill.
and the only emptiness I need to fill
is understanding what it is that made me KILL.
Please forgive me if I keep on smiling
but every sad story has a funny side in
from that moment on I felt like crying... every day.
All around us there were people screaming
For half a second I thought I was dreaming
my baby looked at me her eyes were beaming,
I walked away.
Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done?
All my life I've never loved no one.
So it dawned on me this should be the place
now the only thing I crave is an embrace.
So let your tender wisdom be mine
and let me come to you like a child
I'd like to stick around here for a while.

I dedicate a color to my dearest friends and family
Who, so solemnly and nicely dressed come visit me
I must confess, I feel like Gena might
Upon her opening night

And so, the hounding begins
A sudden crack on the shins
Whip stinging, say, "Oh, hello
You look like someone I know"

Fiery red, I give my mom
My dad, transparent, he is gone
My sisters, I give black and white
And guys I hate, well, fuck 'em bright
My friends get shades of blue
And ginger green to you

While sniggering up your sleeve
A kid, a joke, just like wee
Guys in a schoolyard, aged five
The baddest honcho alive

Track down your friends to a bar
Trace over steps in a car
Say, that's a pretty excuse
Make mine a pineapple juice

Bugbears are plenty round here
Give him a clip on the ear
Says, dad in front of TV
Decide channel randomly

I feel something coming on
A funny turn or a wrong decision made casually
Like dad in front of TV, regurgitation and goo
Ten squillion eyes watch

As you put up a pretty good fight
On this, your opening night
On this, your opening night
On this, your opening night
On this, your opening night
On this, your opening night

I had a plan, was all made up
an angel was sent, for keeping all troubles away.
'Cause lady and I, we could not stop
as cool as a sigh, as volatile as something you say.

I had a dream, a simple plot
I held out my hand as if she'd never pushed it away.
The sun is still there, except it's not
beside her I care to linger even though it's not safe.

Godawful I adore you
angels were there before you
nothing can stop what we do
it's breaking us up in two.

Hey maybe should we ask it
could our friends be worthier.
Like things we trust for if we must
We must burn them.
And burn them good, real friends they would
be understanding if it came to us
and us we must we must turn to


the God of small things.
The God of small things.

I had a plan, was all made up,
as good it was then the magic hour seemed to be fading.
'Cause lady and I we could not stop
as cool as a sigh, as murderous as something you say.

Godawful I adore you
angels were there before you
nothing can stop what we do
it's breaking us up in two.

There is room if you can trust|
for anyone like us.

Stay by my side, it's over
the ride isn't what I told you
the painkiller-side of this life
is to not look behind it's over

I have been told about longing
a feeling so old, it's dead
I must have been misled
so stay by my side, I'm sorry.

I'm drawing myself the ideal crash
but I know I won't believe me.
There'll be a time you'll leave me.

Stay by my side, it's sexy
the way that we talk about stuff
the way that we laugh with love
the way that we're falling off.

CRASH you're life's gone sucking cause you wanna mess
around, can anybody down you with a
CRASH another way of saying that you like to make it
up as you move along. If it's a lot, show them what you got.

Stay by my side, I want you
continue the theme that's us
even though it's only lust
the painkiller-side of this life.



I'm drawing myself the ideal crash
and I know I won't believe me.

How can a man kill gently
how long before it's all done
how can he leave someone
how can he do it softly ?

CRASH you're life's gone sucking cause you wanna mess
around, can anybody down you with a
CRASH another way of saying that you like to make it
up as you move along. If it's a lot, show them what you got.
CRASH you're gonna go to hell with a certain inclination
try and make it sell and then you
CRASH you're gonna have to take yourself out of circulation
If it's a lot, show them what you got
right now I need my hands, to cover this shit up
I need my eyes to see were I'm going, and I need someone.........

Stay by my side, it's sexy
the way that we talk about stuff
the way that we laugh with love
the way that we're falling off.

You drive too fast
can you please shut up
I'll call the police
if you don't stop.

You're just trying to scare me
you want me to know
that you're not this precious
little thing you hold.

You're afraid you say (and you're never sure)
of the coming day (if what you've seen before)
and I'm not that handsome (is what you'll see again)
anyway (In remembering)

But I'm feeling good
and if you don't exist
you're still one illusion
that I can't resist

Now you're holding back
and I'm holding on
Heaven knows what you want.
'Cause kicks like these
they're coming fast
but watching how long they last.

It's a funny time
to fall in love
feels like something pulled me up


to see me fall right off.
You drive too fast
but I don't care
wherever's fine
just take me there.

Now I'm holding back
and you're moving on
Heaven knows what I want
'Cause on a day like this
I'd believe anything
I don't know where to begin.

One for your coming
two for your shoes
Your buccaneer loving
and suicide moods
I wanna move
don't figure out much
into the new
out of the blue, out of the darkness

into the new, out of the blackness...
