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 |

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 (it's what I'm afraid of) 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. 14 16 22 this skin that turns to blister blue.

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 |

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. |

Cast your mind back to the days
When I pretend' I was OK I had so very much to say About my crazy living Now that I've stared into the void So many people I've annoyed I have to find a middle way A better way of giving So I haven't given up But all my choices, my good luck Appear to go and get me stuck In an open prison Now I am trying to break free In a state of empathy Find the true and inner me Eradicate this schism No-one can take it away from me And no-one can tear it apart Because a heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that works No-one can take it away from me No-one can tear it apart Maybe's an elaborate fantasy But it's the perfect place to start Because a heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that... works |

Take a look, it's all around you You thought you'd never she'd a tear So this must astound, must confound you Buy a ticket for the train Hide in a suitcase if you have to This ain't no singing in the rain This is a twister that will destroy you You can run but you can't hide Because no one here gets out alive Find a friend in whom you can confide Julien, you're a slow motion suicide Fallen angels in the night And every one is far from heaven Just one more hit to make it right But every one turns into seven Now that's it's snowing in your brain Even ten will not placate you This ain't no cure for the pain This avalanche will suffocate you You can run but you can't hide Because no one here gets out alive Find a friend on whom you can rely Julien, you're being taken for a ride You can run but you can't hide Because no one here gets out alive Find a friend in whom you can confide Julien, you're a slow motion suicide Slow motion suicide... |

Breathe me
Everytime you close your eyes Taste me Every time you cry This memory will fade away and die Just for today Breathe me and say goodbye [Chorus] How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye Now I can't look you in the eye How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye See me In the eyes of mother's child Turn away When you see me walkin' by Once in a while This melody will fade away and die Just for today Breathe me and say goodbye [Chorus] How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye Now I can't look you in the eye How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye I don't even want to try [Chorus] How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye |

Here comes another fall from grace,
I'm always falling on my face. This attitude that I embrace, With a love I'm trying to replace. Try to kill this song, 'Cause the melody's all wrong. And there's a feaver, comin' on. It's hard to reconcile, What I've become. With the wounded ch-i-ld, Hiding deep ins-i-yide. Breathe underwater, I'm comin' up for air! I wanna see another dawn, (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter, (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. Take my ego for a ride, 'Cause there's nobody by my side. It's getting hard to justify. And it won't be long 'til I collide. My weakness laid bare, As people stop and stare. But It's the last time, I swear. It's hard to reconcile, What I've become. With the wounded ch-i-ld, Hiding deep ins-i-yide. Breathe underwater, (I'm comin' up for air!) I wanna see another dawn, (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter, (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. Stop breathing... Stop breathing... Stop breathing... Stop breath-ing! Breathe underwater, (I'm comin' up for air!) I wanna see another dawn, (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter, (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. I'm coming, I'm coming... , I'm coming, ' coming... Comin' up for air... Comin' up for air! |

You don't know how you're coming across
You don't know what you're coming across You don't know who you're coming across You don't know how you're coming across So you come undone You don't know how you're coming across Acting like you don't give a toss Walking around like you're on some kind of cross And it's a shame on you, the irony's lost When you come undone You come undone You know, you come undone You know, you know, you know You don't know how you're coming across You don't know how you're coming across And I don't think that you're aware of the cost So you come undone You come You come undone You know, you know, you know |

They're pickin' up pieces of me,
While they're pickin' up pieces of you. In a bag you will be, before the day is over. Were you looking for somewhere to be. Or looking for someone to do. Stupid me, to believe that I could trust in stupid you. And on the back of my hand, Were, directions I could understand. Now that old buzzard Johnny Walker, Has gone and ruined all our plans. Our best-made plans. Don't leave me here, to cast through time, Without a map, or road sign. Don't leave me here, my guiding light, 'Cause I, I, wouldn't know where to begin. I asked the Kings of Medicine. They're pickin' up pieces of me, While they're pickin' up pieces of you. Lying on ice you will be before the day is over. It's a case in point baby, That you never thought it through. Stupid me, to believe I could depend on stupid you. And on the tip of my tongue, Were, words that always came out all wrong. 'Cause they were drowned in Southern Comfort, Left to dry-out in the Sun, The noon-day Sun. Don't leave me here, to cast through time, Without a map, or road sign. Don't leave me here, my guiding light, 'Cause I, I, wouldn't know where to begin. I asked the Kings of Medicine, But it seems that they've lost their powers. Now all I'm left with is the hour. Don't leave me here, to cast through time, Without a map, or road sign. Don't leave me here, my guiding light, 'Cause I, I, wouldn't know where to begin. I asked the Kings of Medicine, But it seems that they have lost their powers. Now all I'm left with is the hour. Don't leave me here, Don't leave me here, oh no-oh, I wouldn't know where to begin. |

I got it bad
You don't know how bad I got it You got it easy You don't know when you got it good It's getting harder Just keeping life and soul together I'm sick of fighting Even though I know I should The cold is biting Through each and every nerve and fibre My broken spirit is frozen to the core Don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day And wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away You must be joking You don't know a thing about it You've got no problem I'd stay right there if it were you I got it harder You couldn't dream how hard it got it Stay out of my shoes F you know what's good for you The heat is stifling Burning me up from the inside The sweat is dripping from each and every pore Don't wanna be here no more Don't wanna be here no more Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was just for one day And wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away Wouldn't it be good to be on your side The grass is always greener over there And wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care Without a care Without a care Without a care Without a care |

Sucker love is heaven sent.
You pucker up, our passion′s spent. My hearts a tart, your body′s rent. My body′s broken, yours is bent. Carve your name into my arm. Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed. Cuz there′s nothing else to do, Every me and every you. Sucker love, a box I choose. No other box I choose to use. Another love I would abuse, No circumstances could excuse. In the shape of things to come. Too much poison come undone. Cuz there′s nothing else to do, Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me...he Sucker love is known to swing. Prone to cling and waste these things. Pucker up for heavens sake. There′s never been so much at stake. I serve my head up on a plate. It′s only comfort, calling late. Cuz there′s nothing else to do, Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me...he Every me and every you, Every Me...he Like the naked leads the blind. I know I′m selfish, I′m unkind. Sucker love I always find, Someone to bruise and leaves behind. All alone in space and time. There′s nothing here but what here′s mine. Something borrowed, something blue. Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me...he Every me and every you, Every Me...he [x4] |

In cold light of morning
while everyone is yawning You're high In the cold light of morning the party gets all in your pie As your skin starts to scratch with yesterdays action goodbye Forget past indiscretions And stolen possessions You're high In the cold light In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning You're high In the cold light of morning You're drunk sick from whoring and high Staring back from the mirrors A face that you don't recognise It's a loser a sinner a cock and a dildo's disguise In the cold light Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow As your skin starts to scratch And wave yesterdays action goodbye Forget past indiscretions And stolen possessions. You're high In the cold light of day Tomorrow's only a king Whistle Whistle Whistle Whistle Whistle Whistle Whistle Whistle whistle Away In the cold light of day |

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide.
I'll take it by your side. Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide. I'll take it by your side. Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies. I'll take it by your side. Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide. I'll take it by your side. tick - tock tick - tock tick - tock tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock I'm unclean, a libertine And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech, Your slipping slowly from my reach. You grow me like an evergreen, You never see the lonely me at all I Take the plan, spin it sideways. I Fall. Without you, I'm Nothing. Without you, I'm nothing. Without you, I'm nothing. Take the plan, spin it sideways. Without you, I'm nothing at all |

Freezing cold and empty Tales that changed their name And a hoard of plenty Days before you came Counting breaths inside me Even crack cocaine didn't start to hide me Won't you join me now? Baby's looking torn and afraid Join the masquerade Join the masquerade Won't you join me now? Baby's looking to get laid Join the masquerade Join the masquerade. Days before you came It always seemed enticing to be naked and profane There is no denying Days before you came Thunderbolts and lightening Each day a brand new game Each tourniquet colliding Didn't want you anyway X4 Won't you join me now? Baby's looking torn and afraid Join the masquerade Join the masquerade Won't you join me now? Baby's looking to get laid Join the masquerade Join the masquerade Days before you came Days before you came Days before you came Days before you Days before you came Days before you came Days before you came Days before you Didn't want you anyway X 4 |

You are I read a book about the self Said I should get expensive help Go fix my head Create some wealth Put my neurosis on the shelf But I don't care for myself I don't care for myself I don't care for myself I don't care I wrote this novel just for you I'm so pretentious Yes it's true I wrote this novel just for you Just for you Just for you |

You're the one who's always choking Trojans
You're the one who's always bruised and broken Sleep may be the enemy But so's another line It's a remedy You should take more time You're the one who's always choking Trojans You're the one who showers always golden Spunk and bestiality well it's an Assisi lie It's ahead of me, you should close your fly I understand the fascination The dream that comes alive at night But if you don't change your situation Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die Please don't die You're the one who's always choking Trojans You're the one who's always bruised and broken Drunk on immorality, valium and cherry wine Coke and ecstasy, you're gonna blow your mind I understand the fascination I've even been there once or twice or more But if you don't change your situation Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die Please don't die X4 |

I was hanging from a tree
Unaccustomed to such violence Jesus looking down on me I'm prepared for one big silence How'd I ever end up here Must be through some lack of kindness And it seemed to dawn on me Haemoglobin is the key Haemoglobin is the key To a healthy heart beat Haemoglobin is the key To a healthy heart beat At the time they cut me free I was brimming with defiance Doctors looking down on me Breaking every law of science How'd I ever end up here? A latent strain of color blindness Then it seemed to dawn on me Haemoglobin is the key Haemoglobin is the key To a healthy heart beat x4 Now my feet don't touch the ground Now my feet don't touch the ground Now my feet don't touch the ground Now my feet don't touch the ground As they drag me to my feet I was filled with incoherence Theories of conspiracy The whole world wants my disappearance I'll go fighting nail and teeth You've never seen such perseverance Gonna make you scared of me Cause haemoglobin is the key Haemoglobin is the key To a healthy heart beat x4 Now my feet don't touch the ground X8 |

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide.
I'll take it by your side. Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide. I'll take it by your side. Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies. I'll take it by your side. Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide. I'll take it by your side. tick - tock tick - tock tick - tock tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock I'm unclean, a libertine And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech, Your slipping slowly from my reach. You grow me like an evergreen, You never see the lonely me at all I Take the plan, spin it sideways. I Fall. Without you, I'm Nothing. Without you, I'm nothing. Without you, I'm nothing. Take the plan, spin it sideways. Without you, I'm nothing at all |

Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty. He needs all the world to confirm, that he aint lonely Mary counts walls, knows he tires easily Johnny thinks the world would be right, if it would buy, truth from him. Mary says he changes his mind, more than a woman. But she made her bed, even when the chance was slim. Johnny says he's willing to learn, when he decides, he's a fool. Johnny say's he'll live any where, when he earns time to. Mary combs her hair, says she should be use to it. Mary always edges her bets, she never knows, what to think. She says that he still acts, like he's being discovered. Scared that he'll get caught, without a second thought Johnny feels he's wasting his breath, trying to talk, sense to her Mary says he's lacking a real, sense of proportion So she combs her hair, knows he tires easily Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty. He needs all the world to confirm, that he aint lonely Mary counts walls, says she should be use to it. |

Count fourteen falls Fifteen on calls A baby tiger was Melody Nelson Forever purring in the sun Just as dangerous as a child With a gun, shooting me down Oh my Melody mine Melody Nelson Still playing hurting games for fun As adorable as dumb Deaf to the sound To what's going down Down Down |

Jackie left on a cold, dark night telling me he'd be home, he sailed the sea for a hundred years and left me all alone. now i've been dead for twenty years i've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears searching the shores for my jackie oooh. and I remember the day that the young man came said your jackie's gone he's lost in the rain and i ran to the beach (laid me down) you're all wrong, i said as they stared to the sand, that man knows the seas like the back of his hand, he'll be back sometime Laughing at you. i've been waiting all this time, for my man to come take his hand in mine and lead me away to unseen shores. i've been washing the sand with my salty tears searching the shores these long years and I walked the sea forevermore till I find my jackie oooh, jackie oooh, jackie oooh, jackie ooo-oo-ooh. |

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. I'm 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. |

Cast your mind back to the days
When I pretend' I was OK I had so very much to say About my crazy living Now that I've stared into the void So many people I've annoyed I have to find a middle way A better way of giving So I haven't given up But all my choices, my good luck Appear to go and get me stuck In an open prison Now I am trying to break free In a state of empathy Find the true and inner me Eradicate this schism No-one can take it away from me And no-one can tear it apart Because a heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that works No-one can take it away from me No-one can tear it apart Maybe's an elaborate fantasy But it's the perfect place to start Because a heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that... works |

But kitty came on home without a name She and me's a history for violence So I long, I burn to touch her just the same So we both can both can speak in tongues So we both can both can speak in tongues Every single sense in me is heightened There's nothing left inside to rearrange Like a slave to history and science I long, I burn to touch you just the same So we both can both can speak in tongues So we both can both can speak in tongues Until the universe is done And the course of time has run So we both can both can speak in tongues Don't let them get their way Don't let them have their way You're beautiful and so blasé So please don't let them have their way Don't fall back into the decay There is no law we must obey So please don't let them have their way Don't give in to yesterday We can build a new tomorrow, today We can build a new tomorrow, today We can build a new tomorrow, today We can build a new tomorrow, today |

The atom will implode
The fragile kingdom fall The tremor becomes a quake There's a body in the lake And as the two of us rebel Damn you all to hell I wonder if that's all there is Time will help you through But it doesn't have the time To give you all the answers to the never-ending why The sound of silence grows As spiders kissing fly And the tumour becomes a malign But the kids are doing fine And as the two of us rebel And damn you all to hell I wonder if that's all there is Time will help you through But it doesn't have the time To give you all the answers to the never-ending why |

The payback is here
Take a look, it's all around you You thought you'd never she'd a tear So this must astound, must confound you Buy a ticket for the train Hide in a suitcase if you have to This ain't no singing in the rain This is a twister that will destroy you You can run but you can't hide Because no one here gets out alive Find a friend in whom you can confide Julien, you're a slow motion suicide Fallen angels in the night And every one is far from heaven Just one more hit to make it right But every one turns into seven Now that's it's snowing in your brain Even ten will not placate you This ain't no cure for the pain This avalanche will suffocate you You can run but you can't hide Because no one here gets out alive Find a friend on whom you can rely Julien, you're being taken for a ride You can run but you can't hide Because no one here gets out alive Find a friend in whom you can confide Julien, you're a slow motion suicide Slow motion suicide... |

Breathe me
Everytime you close your eyes Taste me Every time you cry This memory will fade away and die Just for today Breathe me and say goodbye [Chorus] How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye Now I can't look you in the eye How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye See me In the eyes of mother's child Turn away When you see me walkin' by Once in a while This melody will fade away and die Just for today Breathe me and say goodbye [Chorus] How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye Now I can't look you in the eye How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye I don't even want to try [Chorus] How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye How many times? How many times? Now I can't look you in the eye |

Here comes another fall from grace,
I'm always falling on my face. This attitude that I embrace, With a love I'm trying to replace. Try to kill this song, 'Cause the melody's all wrong. And there's a feaver, comin' on. It's hard to reconcile, What I've become. With the wounded ch-i-ld, Hiding deep ins-i-yide. Breathe underwater, I'm comin' up for air! I wanna see another dawn, (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter, (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. Take my ego for a ride, 'Cause there's nobody by my side. It's getting hard to justify. And it won't be long 'til I collide. My weakness laid bare, As people stop and stare. But It's the last time, I swear. It's hard to reconcile, What I've become. With the wounded ch-i-ld, Hiding deep ins-i-yide. Breathe underwater, (I'm comin' up for air!) I wanna see another dawn, (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter, (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. Stop breathing... Stop breathing... Stop breathing... Stop breath-ing! Breathe underwater, (I'm comin' up for air!) I wanna see another dawn, (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter, (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. I'm coming, I'm coming... , I'm coming, ' coming... Comin' up for air... Comin' up for air! |

You don't know how you're coming across
You don't know what you're coming across You don't know who you're coming across You don't know how you're coming across So you come undone You don't know how you're coming across Acting like you don't give a toss Walking around like you're on some kind of cross And it's a shame on you, the irony's lost When you come undone You come undone You know, you come undone You know, you know, you know You don't know how you're coming across You don't know how you're coming across And I don't think that you're aware of the cost So you come undone You come You come undone You know, you know, you know |

They're pickin' up pieces of me,
While they're pickin' up pieces of you. In a bag you will be, before the day is over. Were you looking for somewhere to be. Or looking for someone to do. Stupid me, to believe that I could trust in stupid you. And on the back of my hand, Were, directions I could understand. Now that old buzzard Johnny Walker, Has gone and ruined all our plans. Our best-made plans. Don't leave me here, to cast through time, Without a map, or road sign. Don't leave me here, my guiding light, 'Cause I, I, wouldn't know where to begin. I asked the Kings of Medicine. They're pickin' up pieces of me, While they're pickin' up pieces of you. Lying on ice you will be before the day is over. It's a case in point baby, That you never thought it through. Stupid me, to believe I could depend on stupid you. And on the tip of my tongue, Were, words that always came out all wrong. 'Cause they were drowned in Southern Comfort, Left to dry-out in the Sun, The noon-day Sun. Don't leave me here, to cast through time, Without a map, or road sign. Don't leave me here, my guiding light, 'Cause I, I, wouldn't know where to begin. I asked the Kings of Medicine, But it seems that they've lost their powers. Now all I'm left with is the hour. Don't leave me here, to cast through time, Without a map, or road sign. Don't leave me here, my guiding light, 'Cause I, I, wouldn't know where to begin. I asked the Kings of Medicine, But it seems that they have lost their powers. Now all I'm left with is the hour. Don't leave me here, Don't leave me here, oh no-oh, I wouldn't know where to begin. |

It's in the water baby
It's in the pills that bring you down It's in the water baby It's in your bag of golden brown It's in the water baby It's in your frequency It's in the water baby It's between you and me It's in the water baby It's in the pills that pick you up It's in the water baby It's in the special way we fuck It's in the water baby It's in your family tree It's in the water baby It's between you and me Bite the hand that feeds Tap the vein that bleeds Down on my bended knees I break the back of love for you I break the back of love for you I break the back of love for you I break the back of love for you It's in the water baby It's in the pills that bring you down It's in the water baby It's in your bag of golden brown It's in the water baby It's in your frequency It's in the water baby It's between you and me Bite the hand that feeds Tap the vein that bleeds Down on my bended knees I break the back of love for you I break the back of love for you I break the back of love for you I break the back of love for you I break the back of love for you I break the back of love for you I break the back of love for you I break the back of love for you |

The world is run by clowns
with trigger happy hands But the world is filled with people that we don`t understand So we`re living in a culture made of death and fear Doesn`t seem the human race will make it through the year The world is run by lying, drunk, balding know-it-alls but my mother told me pride would always come before a fall Now remember in the day when we were young and green We were filled with hope we were squeaky clean The world`s an unforgiving place we`ve all heard this before But we want hospitals and equal rights instead of bloody wars We want the right to blow our minds as crazy as it seems The only place you`re truly free is cosy in your dreams I said the only place you`re truly free is cosy in your dreams Put your hands in the air and wave them like you give a fuck (x4) The world is run by clowns with trigger happy hands But the world is filled with people that we don`t understand So we`re living in a culture made of death and fear Doesn`t seem the human race will make it through the year Put your hands in the air and wave them like you give a fuck |
