kisses

she'll suck the living down to size 3
she'll such the living and she'll kill me
necks are crooked and it's time to sing
her beak's wide open at the sound of wings
oh ay
she kisses harder than me
she kisses harder than me
she kisses harder than me
i guess i'm not that hungry
her veins are rivers running to the sea
fish will eat it but don't ask me
angels looking make it hard to cry
people looking make it cool to die
oh ay
she kisses harder than me
she kisses harder than me
she kisses harder than me
i guess i'm not that hungry



brain crack

have you ever hear the sound
of your head in the ground
and you're afraid to say
and it won't go away
that's the sound of your brain cracking
that's the sound of your brain cracking
that's the sound of your brain cracking
that's the sound of your brain cracking
have you ever hear the sound
of your head on the ground
and you're afraid to say
and it won't go away
that's the sound of your brain cracking
that's the sound of your brain cracking
that's the sound of your brain cracking
that's the sound of your brain cracking



the one

i sleep the day away
giving you all i can
ready to reach new lows
dying to wash my hand
you're the one
you're the one that froze the sun
say you love me
as you pull the trigger
better today rather than
tomorrow
heaven is in the air
hiding behind your blinds
heaven is right out there
leaving me here behind
you're the one
you're the one that froze the sun
say you love me
as you pull the trigger
better today rather than
tomorrow
you should enjoy the weather
soon you'll burn with what you've done
you'll hurt no one
you'll hurt no one



one hit wonder

they call you the one hit wonder
if i could just hit you right yeah

i give you my four leaf clover
'cause god only knows that is the
only one the
only one of mine
and you'll hear it over and over
until it is built right in
yeah right into your
filthy little mind
i own the world
i bought the whole damn world
from the man who sold the world
a million dollar caddy world
so could you just bend right over?
to see how it feels to be
to see just how
it feels to be alive
and you'll get it over and over
'cause god only knows that is the
only one the
only one of mine
i own the world
i bought the whole damn world
from the man who sold the world
a million dollar cranky world

30 seconds

for every stone there's a rock
waiting for someones head
here is come and you wish
you had two heads
30 seconds, 30 seconds
sell half your soul
and you realize
that you are no one
no one... no one...
no one... no one...
for every star there's another one
that's fading fading away
hating every bit of life
30 seconds 30 seconds
one day of sun
and the rest you're spending as a
no one... no one...
no one... no one...
out of my way
before you know you're
out of my way
for everyone there's another one
that's stronger
so out you go
like the trash that you drug in
30 seconds 30 seconds
paving the way for the one
who's made you feel like
no one... no one...
no one... no one...
out of my way
before you know you're
out of my way



the real

i know the sun's around
to wake the dead
you've got if anything
a bigger head
most likely to conceive
was who i knew
but now it's you
that i have to know
sill who ya know
has got away
sweet little who ya know
lives in l.a.
most likely to perform
was who i knew
but now it's you
i have to know
only the real world
is so unreal
only the real is real
pocket the business card
be on your way
pocket the smiling face
and save the day
most likely to conceive
was who i knew
but now it's you
that i have to know
only the real world
is so unreal
only the real is real
