it's the plan of most/ to discover that magnificent ghost/ when did I get perverted/ and my innocent eyes diverted from the view so grand/ imbued with distractions
sad peter pan/ and you're lying, sad peter pan/ and you're lying
i'm greedy like senior babbitt/ i'm just chasing that electric rabbit/ i'm a reluctant rebel/ i just want to be aaron neville/ with a crown on my head/ and my denim shirt all dark with sweat
and you're lying, sad peter pan/ and you're lying, sad peter pan/ and you're lying, sad peter pan
i'm just pushing the paint around/ on advice from your lying mouth/ you touched me, then ran/ and left a sad peter pan/ all alone and awkward/ but a transformation, it will occur
and you're lying, sad peter pan/ and you're lying, sad peter pan/ and
you're lying, sad peter pan/ and you're lying, sad peter pan/ and you're
lying, sad peter pan/ and you're lying, sad peter pan

Shame
you're gonna walk on home/ you're gonna walk alone/ you're gonna see this through/ don't let them get to you
shame
love is good and love is kind/ love is drunk and love is blind/ love is good and love is mine/ love is drunk all the time
shame
you're gonna walk on home/ you're gonna walk alone/ you're gonna walk so far/ you're gonna wonder who you are

She
She will never, ever go/ Waiting for her man/ Waiting for her man/ She will never, ever know/ Waiting for her time/ Waiting for her time
Walk the world, I hear a noise/ Standing in her voice/ Sickle in her choice/ She is everything/ Monday or Tuesday/ Wednesday's another game/ Waiting for Sunday
I'm the one she swore she'd never love/ I'm the one I know she's thinking of
She will never, ever burn/ Waiting for her town/ Waiting for her town/
She will never, ever sit/ Waiting for her game/ Waiting for her game
Siamese Dream
Coming down from my siamese dream/ All we are is silent to the scream
Motherfuckers try to crack your crown/ Break you up and suck you out/ Scoop you up like a little fish/ Make you wish for more than this
And you come, and you come
Silverfuck
I hear your winter/ I hear you rain/ I've failed your summer ways/ And I feel no pain
I hear what you want/ And I feel that way/ I hear what you want/ And I feel that way
I hear you fade away/ And I hear you crawl/ I gave my life away/ And I feel no pain/ And I feel no pain/ And I feel no pain/ And I feel your pain
And she was my lover so sweet/ And she was my angel/ And what I've recovered of me/ I put into a box underneath my bed
When you lie in your bed/ And you lie to yourself/ When you lie in your bed/ And you lie to yourself/ Lie/ Lie
Bang bang you're dead hole in your head/ Bang bang you're dead hole in your head/ Bang bang you're dead hole in your head/ Bang bang you're dead hole in your head
I hear what you want/ And I feel that way/ I hear what you want/ And I feel that way
[This take, don't give a fuck]
Siva
I spin off and lose my head/ Throwing stray a spark instead/ Gather strength down in my heel/ And dig it in the world I peel
Way down deep within my heart/ Lies a soul that's torn apart/ Tell me, tell me what you're after/ I just want to get there faster
I don't live - I inhale/ I don't give - I unveil/ Don't want to live in your misery/ I don't live - I inhale
Sprinkle all my kisses on your head/ Stars full of wishes fill our beds/ She said, "I'm dead"
All this pain smothers me/ Like a bomb that you can't see/ Tell me, tell me what you're after/ I just want to get there faster
I don't live - I inhale/ I don't give - I unveil/ I don't live - I inhale/
I don't live
Slunk
Ride on, motherfucker/ Sister above/ Lead on my lover/ Daddy's not comin'

home

All your seven dreams/ Look close, son, and you'll believe/ As your things come undone/ See you are the only one
Flower, seize the hour I did/ I wait/ Waiting, waiting for your wake/ I'll wait
When you wake up you're all weak/ Throwing your life away/ Someday, sorry coming home/ Sorry snail/ What you wait for

What you wait for/ Flower chase the sunshine/ Flower chase the sunshine/

Nothing left to say/ And all I've left to do/ Is run away/ From you/ And she led me on, down/ With secrets I can't keep
Close your eyes and sleep/ Don't wait up for me/ Hush now don't you speak/ To me
Wrapped my hurt in you/ And took my shelter in that pain/ The opiate of blame/ Is your broken heart, your heart
So now I'm all by myself/ As I've always felt/ I'll betray my tears/ To anyone caught in our ruse of fools
One last kiss for me...yeah/ One last kiss good night
Didn't want to lose you once again/ Didn't want to be your friend/ Fulfilled a promise made of tin/ And crawled back to you
I'm all by myself/ As I've always felt/ I'll betray myself/ To anyone, lost, anyone but you
So let the sadness come again/ On that you can depend on me, yeah/ Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah/ When god sleeps in bliss
And I'm all by myself/ As I've always felt/ And I'll betray myself/
To anyone

We won't belong

Dad, dad, dad/ Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead/ Was I ever alive/ Fucking
makes you alive in one minute/ Solstice/ I am solstice filled with mercury/
Filled with mercury/ Liquid fucked/ See right through your heart/ See right
through your heart/ Fuck your heart/ I am mercury liquid pure/ Hot, alive,
dead/ Mucked fish eyes, doors/ I was born alive/ I'll fucking kill you/
I'll beat your soft baby head with my own hand/ Careful with that baby/
Don't ever say the H word around him/ Ashamed/ I am ashamed of my name,
say it/ I hate the sound of your shit because it means no good/ It means
cheap, liar, smart ass piece of shit/ Change it to raygun you fuck/ Billy
the Loon/ Billy the Loon/ I am Mars/ I am Mars/ Billy Addly, Addly, Addly/
Your name causes shit/ While I may be no expert on this reality there is
no god but shame/ God is hurt, god is cold/ Try that once, god is dead/
There is not another one/ Battle/ Cold heart radio/ Feedback/ The pain/
Reoccuring messages of badness/ Reoccuring living bad dreams at the vortex
of lost souls/ Wailing lost soouls of shame/ We are in one hole/ Like a
cup of mercury phosphate, burrr (when you get cold)/ Shuddering around/
Taste my shit you wench/ Lifting wailing lost souls who stand a chance/
Hot, my eyes darkly gaze and wonder/ Do not enter/ Why, why, why/ I was
born whole/ Fractured, divided, shattered into a billion fragments/ A million
piece puzzle/ A million piece jigsaw puzzle with no this and no that
Spiteface
Your words will one day spite your face/ And another mouth will come and take its place/ It'll speak and speak and speak and sputter me dry/ I will never understand the motive drive
Muck..You..Up..Muck
In a dream I wander on/ To the bell tower.. writing songs/ So I crumple this page, and rip it up/ Never piece my broken heart to you
Muck..You..Up..Muck
Your words will one day spite your face/ And another mouth will come and take its place/ It'll speak and speak and speak and sputter me dry/ I will never understand the motive drive

Starla
I'm in here/ Please take me home/ Starla dear/ I'm all alone
When you can't decide what's on our mind/ It's clear, I'm here, Starla dear
To disappear takes so much time/ Starla dear, you're on my mind
Soon, soon I'll be leaving/ Soon, soon I'll be leaving/ I hear all you're saying/ I hear all your failing
I'm in here/ Please take me home/ Starla dear/ I'm all alone
When you can't decide what's on our mind/ It's clear, I'm here, Starla dear
Serve yourself/ No one else can do for you like you/ No one else fails

and I/ High in the sky
Stumbleine
boredoms in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth/ sally's in the
stirrups claiming her destiny/ and nobody nowhere understands anything/
about me and all my dreams/ lost at sea/ jack it up judy set your heart
alight/ mayfair mistress of the satellies/ misspent youth- faking up a
rampage/ to hold off the real slaves/ paid off and staid/ and what you
never knew/ can never get to you/ so fake it/ i'll be your stubmleine/
i'll be your super queen/ and make you/ jukebox fuckup hanging round the
drugstore/ no matter what you say he'll be back for more/ mommy's in the
manger with the little kids/ she's got her reasons, got my forgets/ of
tears and idle threats/ misplaced/ and no matter what they do/ they can't
get to you/ so fake it/ i'll be your stumbleine/ i'll be your super queen/
and make you me/ come around ruby i could never sleep alone
Suffer
All that you suffer is all that you are/ All that you smother is all that you are/ And you're saying you're seeing, you're saying who you are/ What takes meaning is cleaning the meaning of who you are
All may say/ I will dream/ All may say
All of your struggles beneath your disguise/ Drink from the reasons that hold you alive/ 'Til we're safe from the wounds of desire and pain/ You must rise from the mounds of desire and change
Too late to discover peace of mind/ Too late to recover me
All you see and all you breathe and all you cease to be/ Taken down your only son and what he means to me/ Your dream will be/ To dream with me
Will you wait? Yes I will, I will wait for you/ To cleanse your life takes more than time/ Take what you want/ Take all of it
Too late to discover peace of mind (have no peace of mind)/ To late
to recover
Sun
What it wants, is four more years/ Moving tears of pain/ Lost I go, into your, hiding room/ You'll be lost to me
Walking in the sun/ I'll never feel the light/ Walking in the sun/ I'll never feel/ Why? Confusion haunts me still/ My will can't reign/ Lost I go into your hiding room/ You'll be lost to me
Walking in the sun/ I'll never feel the light/ Walking in the sun/ I'll
know that I never feel/ Walking in the sun/ I never feel the light/ Walking
in my sun/ I know that I never feel
Sweet Sweet
Sweet sweet sweet sweet little agony/ I don't know just where you've been/ But I'll take take take/ All that you have for me/ In sin/ Where are we going?
And they all want you to change/ And they all want you to change
And the sad sad sad/ All the sad faces drown/ In this town
Where are we going?/ And they all want you to change/ Where are we going?/
And they all want you to change/ Where are we going?
Take Me Down
take me down, to the underground/ won't you take me down, to the underground/
why oh why, there is no light/ and if i can't sleep, can you hold my life/
and all i see is you/ take my hand, i lost where i began/ in my heart i
know all of my faults/ will you help me understand/ and i believe in you/
you're the other half of me/ soothe and heal.../ when you sleep, when you
dream,/ i'll be there if you need me, whenever i hear you sing.../ there
is a sun, it'll come, the sun, i hear them call me down/ i held you once,
a love that once, and life had just begun/ and you're all i see.../ and
trumpets blew, and angels flew on the other side/ and you're all i see,
and you're all i'll need/ there's a love that god puts in your heart
Tales Of A Scorched Earth
farewell goodnight last one out turn out the lights/ and let me be,
let me die inside/ let me know the way from of this world of hate in you/
cause the dye is cast, and the bitch is back/ and we're all dead teah we're
all dead/ inside the future of a shattered past/ i lie just to be real,
and i'd die just to feel/ why do the same old things keep on happening?/
because beyond my hopes there are no feelings/ bless the martyrs and kiss
the kids/ for knowing better, for knowing this/ cause you're all whores
and i'm a fag/ and i've got no mother and i've got no dad/ to save me the
wasted, save me from myself/ i lie just to be real, and i'd die just to
feel/ why do the same old things keep on happening?/ because beyond my
hopes there are no feelings/ everybody's lost just waiting to be found/
everyone's a thought just waiting to fade/ so fuck it all cause i don't
care/ so what somehow somewhere we dared/ to try to dare to dare for a
little more/ i lie just to be real, and i'd die just to feel/ why do the
same old things keep on happening?/ because beyond my hopes there are no
reasons
The Tale Of Dusty And Pistol Pete
dusty screams, through doors and imaginary floors/ "why can't you miss me?"/ pistol pete removes the final breaths from her unkind and she is shaken/ what does this mean in love or in peace?/ with you lying next to me/ so faithless serene/ and she calls to him
let the waste cross the ancient trails to you/ far out beneath the sorrow clouds/ let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you/ let them cry out through your rusted scars
alone he roams inside the ordinary catacombs of her waiting/ with raven hands she steals and staggers towards her man/ still scorned by his demon
because he's undone/ become the language of/ disaster and love, vengeance and dust/ and she calls to him
let the waste cross the ancient trails to you/ far out beneath the sorrow clouds/ let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you/ let them cry out through your rusted scars
dusty screams, through doors and imaginary scenes/ of hurt and teardrop/ as he holds her down, in the cold lonely winds/ together again, her inside him/ and she calls to him
let the waste cross the ancient trails to you/ far out beneath the sorrow
clouds/ let them taste the bitter lost mistake of you/ let them cry out
through your rusted scars
Tear
the lights came on fast/ lost in motorcrash/ gone in a flash unreal/ but you knew all along/ you laugh the light/ I sing the songs/ to watch you numb
I saw you there/ you were on your way/ you held the rain/ and for the first time/ heaven seemed insane/ cause heaven is to blame/ for taking you away
do you know the way that I can?/ do you know the way that I can't lose?/ do you know the things that I can?/ do you know the things that I can do?
where is your heart? where is your heart gone to?/ tear me apart/ tear me apart from you/ you laugh the light I cry the wound/ in gray afternoons
I saw you there/ you were on your way/ you held the rain/ and for the first time/ heaven seemed insane/ cause heaven is to blame/ for taking you away
the lights came to pass/ dead opera motorcrash/ gone in a flash unreal/ in nitrous overcast
do you know the way that I can?/ do you know the way that I can't choose?/ do you know the things that I can?/ do you know the things that I can't lose?
tear me apart/ tear me apart from you/ where is your heart?/ where has
your heart run to?
Terrapin
I really love you, and I mean you,/ The star above you, crystal blue/ Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you
I wouldn't see you, and I love to,/ I fly above you, yes I do,/ Well, oh baby my hair's on end about you
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth/ The fins a luminous/ Fangs all 'round the clown is dark/ Below the boulders hiding/ All the sunlight's good for us
Cause we're the fishes, and all we do/ The move about is all we do/ Well oh baby my hair's on end about you
I really love you, and I mean you,/ The star above you, crystal blue/
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you/ Well, oh baby, my hair's on
end about you
The Aeroplane Flies High - (turns left, looks right)
love is a sentimental heart/ life is a sentimental way/ spy the fragile
heart so cursed/ as he walks across this earth/ i'm disconnected by your
smile/ disconnect a million miles/ and what you promised me/ i hope will
set you free/ i'm disconnected by your smile/ and all i gave to you is
lost/ and all you took from me is lost/ black wings carry me so high/ up
to meet you in the sky/ i'm disconnected by your smile/ disconnect a million
miles/ and what you promised me/ i hope will set you free/ i'm disconnected
by your smile/ wishing you were real to me/ wishing i could make believe/
i'll take my secrets to the grave/ safely held beneath the waves/ always
knew i couldn't save/ always knew i couldn't save you
The Beginning Is the End Is The Beginning
Send a heartbeat to the void that cries through you/ Relive the pictures that have come to pass/ For now we stand alone/ The world is lost and blown/ And we are flesh and blood disintigrate/ With no more to hate
Is it bright where you are?/ And have the people changed?/ Does it make you happy you're so strange?/ And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame/ We can watch the world devoured in its pain
Delivered from the blast/ The last of a line of lasts/ The pale princess of a palace cracked/ And now the kingdom comes/ Crashing down undone/ And I am a master of a nothing place/ Of recoil and grace
Is it bright where you are?/ And have the people changed?/ Does it make you happy you're so strange?/ And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame/ We can watch the world devoured in its pain
Time has stopped before us/ The sky cannot ignore us/ No one can separate us/ For we are all that is left/ The echo bounces off me/ The shadow lost beside me/ There's no more need to pretend/ Cause now I can begin again
Is it bright where you are?/ And have the people changed?/ Does it make
you happy you're so strange?/ And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets
flame/ We can watch the world devoured in its pain/ Strange
The End Is The Beginning Is The End
the sewers belch me up../ the heavens spit me out.../ from ethers tragic
I am born again.../ and now i'm with you now/ inside your world of wow!/
to move in desires made of deadly pretends/ till the end times begin.../
climb my ribcage to/ the replays run for you/ unhook my lights to peek
behind the flash/ for I am crystal chrome/ I am shatter dome/ I am kremlin
king of angels avenged/ to destroy the end.../ the zeppelins rain upon
us the guns of love disastrous/ a shadow lies amongst you to defy the future
cast.../ (chrous)- is it bright where you are/ have the people changed?/
does it make you happy you're so strange?/ and in your darkest hour, I
hold secrets flame/ you can watch the world devoured in it's pain, strange
The
Ethers Tragic (Instrumental)
The
Guns Of Love Disastrous (Instrumental)
Thirty Three
speak to me in a language i can hear/ humour me before i have to go/
deep in thought i forgive everyone/ as the cluttered streets greet me once
again/ i know i can't be late, supper's waiting on the table/ tomorrow's
just an excuse away/ so I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own/
the earth laughs beneath my heavy feet/ at the blasphemy in my old jangly
walk/ steeple guide me to my heart and home/ the sun is out and up and
down again/ i know i'll make it, love can last forever/ graceful swans
of never topple to the earth/ and you can make it last, forever you/ you
can make it last, forever you/ and for a moment i lose myself/ wrapped
up in the pleasures of the world/ i've journeyed here and there and back
again/ but in the same old haunts i still find my friends/ mysteries not
ready to reveal/ sympathies i'm ready to return/ i'll make the effort,
love can last forever/ graceful swans of never topple to the earth/ tomorrow's
just an excuse/ and you can make it last, forever you/ you can make it
last, forever you
Thru The Eyes Of Ruby
wrap me up in always, and drag me in with maybes/ your innocence is
treasure, your innocence is death/ your innocence is all i have/ breathing
underwater, and living under glass/ and if you spin your love around/ the
secrets of your dreams/ you may find your love is gone/ and is not quite
what it seemed/ to appear to disappear/ beneath all your darkest fears/
i believe in never, i believe in all the way/ but belief is not to notice,
believe is just some faith/ and faith can't help you to escape/ and with
this ring i wed thee true/ and with this ring i wed thee now/ and with
this ring i play so dead/ but no one's asking for the truth, so let me
tell you/ if you spin your love around/ the secrets of your dreams/ you
may find your love is gone/ and is not quite what it seemed/ to appear
to disappear/ beneath all your darkest fears/ to the revelations of fresh
faced youth/ no one will come to save you/ so speak your peace in the murmurs
drawn/ but youth is wasted on the young/ your strength is my weakness,
your weakness my hate/ my love for you just can't explain/ why we're forever
frozen, forever beautiful,/ forever lost inside ourselves/ the night has
come to hold us young
To Forgive
ten times removed/ i forget about where it all began/ bastard son of
a bastard son of/ a wild eyed child of the sun/ and right as rain, i'm
not the same but/ i feel the same, i feel nothing/ holding back the fool
again/ holding back the fool pretends/ i forget to forget nothing is important/
holding back the fool again/ i sensed my loss/ before i even learned to
talk/ and i remember my birthdays/ empty party afternoons won't come back/
holding back the fool again/ holding back the fool pretends/ i forget to
forget nothing is important/ holding back the fool again/ i forget to forget
me/ i forget to forget you see/ nothing is important to me/ i knew my loss/
before i even learned to speak/ and all along, i knew it was wrong/ but
i played along, with my birthday song/ holding back the fool again/ holding
back the fool pretends/ i forget to forget nothing is important/ holding
back the fool again
Today is the greatest/ Day I've ever known/ Can't live for tomorrow,/ Tomorrow's much too long/ I'll burn my eyes out/ Before I get out
I wanted more/ Than life could ever grant me/ Bored by the chore/ Of saving face
Today is the greatest/ Day I've ever known/ Can't wait for tomorrow/ I might not have that long/ I'll tear my heart out/ Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars/ That never forget/ I tried so hard/ To cleanse these regrets/ My angel wings/ Were bruised and restrained/ My belly stings
Today is/ Today is/ Today is/ The greatest day
I want to turn you on/ I want to turn you on/ I want to turn you on/ I want to turn you
Today is the greatest/ Today is the greatest day/ Today is the greatest
day/ That I have ever really known
time is never time at all/ you can never ever leave without leaving
a piece of youth/ and our lives are forever changed/ we will never be the
same/ the more you change the less you feel/ believe, believe in me, believe/
that life can change, that you're not stuck in vain/ we're not the same,
we're different tonight/ tonight, so bright/ tonight/ and you know you're
never sure/ but you're sure you could be right/ if you held yourself up
to the light/ and the embers never fade in your city by the lake/ the place
where you were born/ believe, believe in me, believe/ in the resolute urgency
of now/ and if you believe there's not a chance tonight/ tonight, so bright/
tonight/ we'll crucify the insincere tonight/ we'll make things right,
we'll feel it all tonight/ we'll find a way to offer up the night tonight/
the indescribable moments of your life tonight/ the impossible is possible
tonight/ believe in me as i believe in you, tonight
And the embers never fade in my city by the lake/ The place where i
was born/ As the wind-up toys wind down/ Muffling the sound of a life hidden
underground/ Believe, believe in me, believe/ That you can change, that
you're not stuck in vain/ We're not the same we're different tonite/ We'll
crucify the insincere tonite/ We'll make things right, we'll feel it all
tonite/ The impossible is possible tonite/ Believe in me like i believe
in you tonite
twilight fades/ through blistered avalon/ the sky's cruel torch/ on arching autobahn/ into the uncertain divine/ we scream into the last divine
you make me real/ you make me real/ strong as i feel/ you make me real
sheila rides on crashing nightingale/ intake eyes leave passing vapor trails/ with blushing brilliance alive/ because it's time to arrive
you make me real/ you make me real/ strong as i feel/ you make me real
lately I just can't seem to believe/ discard my friends to change the scenery/ it meant the wrold to hold a bruising faith/ but now it's just a matter of grace
a summer storm graces all of me/ highway warm sing silent poetry/ I could bring you the light/ and take you home into the night
you make me real/ lately I just can't seem to believe/ you make me real/
discard my friends to change the scenery/ strong as i feel/ it meant the
wrold to hold a bruising faith/ you make me real/ but now it's just a matter
of grace
a livewire moves slow/ a transformer always knows/ the score is four/
leaves you hanging on the floor/ for more and less and more of the blame/
and she's tired/ and she's sick of the same old shit/ it's just more of
the same old same/ i know she wants more and more and more to witness/
to lay down and bear true/ a cherry onion firefly/ tastes sweet and white/
as you are blue/ knows just what she wants to do/ with you below the silver
skies/ don't hate her because she's undecided/ and she's tired/ and she's
sick of the same old shit/ it's just more of the same old same/ i know
she wants more and more and more to stomach/ in honor of her youth/ she's
not sorry she's happy/ sorry she's happy/ she's not sorry she's happy/
sorry she's happy as a turtle/ she's a real live transformer
Tristessa
Pledged your faith/ my heart embraced/ struggle to renew
Blurry mind/ so hypnotized/ fast enough who
Wonder where you are/ Tristessa
Soul takes soul/ as I take eye/ I will wait for you
What you believe/ you'll wish to receive/ I won't believe in you
Hang on to your life/ Tristessa
I love you true/ Surely I do/ I love you true/ Surely I do/ Surely I do/ Surely I do (no)
Do you ever wake up and find yourself alone?/ Do you ever wake up far
from home?/ What you believe/ you'll wish to receive/ I won't believe in
you/ Tristessa/ Tristessa/ Tristessa
I don't look in the mirror/ i don't like what i see staring back at me/ everything is clearer/ i'll never see what you see/ it's not me/ so beautiful and free/ i'll never be what you need/ can't help at all/ i was born so beautiful/ but now i'm ugly
and i rot in my skin/ as a piece of me dies everyday/ i know i'm nothing/ i know there's nothing i can say/ to change/ the judgment in their ways/ i'll never be what you need/ can't help at all/ my love was so beautiful/ but now i'm ugly/ yeah...
I'm good enough, but i don't care/ i'm good enough, but i'm not there/ i'm good enough, but i don't care/ the sun is out, but i'm not there
(i can go anywhere) i'm good enough, but i don't care (...somewhere)/ (i can go anywhere) the sun is out, but i'm not there (...somewhere)/ (i can go anywhere) i'm good enough (...somewhere)/ (i can go anywhere) i'm good enough (...somewhere)
I don't look in the mirror/ i don't like what i see staring back at me/ everything is clearer/ i'll never see what you see/ and i rot in my skin/ as a piece of me dies everyday/ i know i'm nothing/ because i'm ugly
