Supervixen

Come down to my house stick a stone in your mouth
You can always pull out if you like it too much

Make a whole new religion
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I'll feed your obsession
There'll be nothing but this thing that you'll never doubt

A hit is hard to resist and I never miss
I can take you out with just a flick of my wrist

Make a whole new religion
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I'll feed your obsessions
There is nothing but this thing that you'll never doubt, this thing you'll never doubt

And I'll feed your obsession
The falling star that you cannot live without
I will be your religion
This thing you'll never doubt
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Now I want it too much
Now I want it to stop
Now I'm lucky like a falling star fell over me

Bow down to me...bow down to me...bow down to me...bow down to me...bow down to me...bow down to me...bow down to me

Queer

Hey boy, take a look at me
Let me dirty up your mind
I'll strip away your hard veneer
And see what I can find

The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer

This is what he pays me for
I'll show you how it's done
You learn to love the pain you feel
Like father like son

The queerest of the queer
Hide inside your head
The blindest of the blind
The deadest of the dead
You're hungry 'cause you starve
While holding back the tears
Choking on your smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer

I know what's good for you...you can touch me if you want
I know you're dying to...you can touch me if you want
I know what's good for you...you can touch me if you want
But you can't stop

The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
You're nothing special here
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer

I know what's good for you I know you're dying to
I know what's good for you
I bet you're dying to
You can touch me if you want
You can touch me if you want
You can touch me
You can touch me
But you can't stop

Only Happy When It Rains

I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me

I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down...pour
You can keep me company
As long as you don't care

I'm only happy when it rains
You want to hear about my new obsession
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains....pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me...pour some misery down on me...pour some misery down on me...pour some misery down on me

As Heaven Is Wide

Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray would forgive you
Nothing's what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy you
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone

If flesh could crawl my skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God, as heaven is wide
As far from God, as angels can fly

If holy is as holy does
his house will burn straight down to hell
And take its conscience with it as it falls
Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind, you broke the pact
If God's my witness, God must be blind

If flesh could crawl my skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God, as heaven is wide
As far from God, as angels can fly

I wish

Take it back, I dare you, take it back
No you can't, you should have thought of that
What's inside a man that goes so wrong?
Choke on guilt that's far too good for you
Say one word, I'll laugh and bury you
And leave you in the place where you left me

If flesh could crawl my skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here,
As far from God, as heaven is wide
As far from God, as angels can fly

I wish I could fly
As angels can fly
I wish...

Not My Idea

I bit my tongue and stood in line
With not much too believe in
I bought into what I was sold
And ended up with nothing

This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea

You thought that I would never see
What was meant for you was meant for me
I was distracted at the time
Forget about yours, now what about mine?

This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea

You thought I was a little girl
You thought I was a little mouse
You thought you'd take me by surprise
Now I'm here burning down your house

This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea

A Stroke of Luck

Hanging by threads of palest silver
I could have stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
Nothing could ever seem to touch me
I lose what I love most
Did you know I was lost until you found me

Stroke of luck or gift from God?
The hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling down and all around me, falling

You say that you'll be there to catch me
Or will you only try to trap me
These are the rules I make
Our chains were meant to break
You'll never change me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
You're falling down and all around me, falling

Stroke of luck or gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me now
Don't ask me why
Don't even try

Stroke of luck or gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me now
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling down all around me, falling

Falling...falling...falling...falling...falling...falling...falling...falling

Vow

I can't use what I can't abuse
And I can't stop when it comes to you
You burned me out, but I'm back at your door
Like Joan of Arc coming back for more

I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died

I came to cut you up
I came to knock you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you up
I came to drag you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart

You burn and burn to get under my skin
You've gone to far, now I won't give in
You crucified me, but I'm back in your bed
Like Jesus Christ coming back from the dead

I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died

I came to knock you up
I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to rip you up
I came to shut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart

I nearly died
Oh I nearly died
I nearly died

I came to cut you up
I came to knock you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you up
I came to suck you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
Tear your little world apart
Tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart

I can't stop when it comes to you
I can't stop when it comes to me
When it comes to you
When it comes to me

Stupid Girl

You pretend you're high
Pretend you're bored
You pretend you're anything
Just to be adored
And what you need
Is what you get

Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything
That you can't break

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted

What drives you on
Can drive you mad
A million lies to sell yourself
Is all you ever had

Don't believe in love
Don't believe in hate
Don't believe in anything
That you can't waste

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it

Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in pain
Don't believe in anyone
That you can't tame

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
I can't believe you fake it
I can't believe you fake it
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it

Dog New Tricks

I wish I had not woke up today
Everyone mistakes the things you say
Take the simple truth and
Twist it all around
Make it sound important and make it seem profound

Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless

Everyone I know has gone away
Died or left or just forgot to stay
Sometimes took for granted
Sometimes turned away
Sometimes didn't say what I meant to say

Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless

I never would have pegged you
For what you have become
Everyone lies, everyone cheats
Not like you've done

Dog new tricks
Nothing you've learned will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless

Dog new tricks
Nothing you've learned will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless

Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn

My Lover's Box

My lover's charms
Are in a box
Beneath my bed
And piece by piece
I'll cherish them until the end

Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven

They burn my hand
Scar my face
And blind my eyes
I'll steal your breath
And throw away
What I despise

Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven

Between these walls
And darkened halls
I've done my time
If I should die
Before I wake
Then you'll know why

Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven...piece by piece

Send me an angel to love...piece by piece
I need to feel a little piece of heaven...piece by piece
Send me an angel to love...piece by piece
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven...piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece.
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel...piece by piece
Send me an angel

Fix Me Now

Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day

Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy ever more,
Everything I had to give gave out long before

Fix me now, I wish you would..fix me now
Bring me back to life...fix me now
Kiss me blind, somebody should...fix me now
From hollow into light

Crashing silent, broken down
Fallen into night
Who gave up and who gave in
I'll go without a fight
Cut me down or cut me dead
Cut me in or out
Kiss me blind time after time take away my doubt

Fix me now, I wish you would..fix me now
Bring me back to life...fix me now
Kiss me blind, somebody should...fix me now
From hollow into light

Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day

Nowhere only down from here
Pick me off the floor
Take away the things I dream
One time, one place, one more

Fix me now somebody should...I wish you would...fix me now...
Bring me back to life...fix me now
Fix me now somebody should...fix me now
From hollow into
Fix me now somebody should
I wish you would... bring me back to life...fix me now
Fix me now, somebody should
Follow into life

Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day,
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day

Milk

I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean
I am lost
So I am cruel
But I'd be love and sweetness
If I had you

I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you

I am weak
But I am strong
I can use my tears to
Bring you home

I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you

I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean

I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm breaking, I'm aching for you
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
For you

Temptation Waits

I'll tell you something
I am a wolf but
I like to wear sheep's clothing
I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I'm waiting for my moment


You come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you
For a little more
And there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before

I'll tell you something
I am a demon
Some say my biggest weakness
I have my reasons
Call it my defense
Be careful what you're wishing


You come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you
For a little more
And there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before

You are a secret
A new possession
I like to keep you guessing


You come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you
For a little more
And there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before

When I'm not sure what I'm living for
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
Up

I Think I'm Paranoid

You can look but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove


I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it


Bend me break me anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me break me breaking down is easy
All I want is you


I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I nailed my faith to the sticking pole


I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated

Bend me break me anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me break me breaking down is easy
All I want is you

Steal me
Deal me
Anyway you heal me


Maim me
Tame me
You can never change me


Love me
Like me
Come ahead and fight me


Please me
Tease me
Go ahead and leave me

Bend me break me anyway you need me
As long as I want is you it's alright

When I Grow Up

Cut my tongue out
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours
Golden showers
On a cruise
To freak you out
We could fly a helicopter
Nothing left to talk about
Entertain you
Celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you


Chorus:
When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Trying hard to
Fit among you
Floating out to wonderland
Unprotected
God I'm pregnant
Damn the consequences


When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Blood and blisters
On my fingers
Chaos rules when we're apart
Watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gentle when


When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

When I grow up
I'll turn the tables


Don't take offense
Can I make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go

Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Up

Medication

I don't need an education
I learnt all I need from you
They got me on some medication
My point of balance was askew
It keeps my temperature from rising
My blood is pumping through my veins


Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else


I wear myself out in the morning
You're asleep when I get home
Please don't call me self-defending
You know it cuts me to the bone
Though it's really not surprising
I hold a force I can't contain


Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else

Still you call me codependent
somehow you lay the blame on me

Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
I've got to make a point these days
To extricate myself
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else

Still you call me codependent
somehow you lay the blame on me

Somehow you lay the blame on me
Up

Special

I'm living without you but
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
But I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new infection
But we were the talk of the town


I thought you were special
Up

Hammering in My Head

I'm stressed but you're freestyle
I'm overworked and I'm under-sexed
I must be made of concrete
I signed my name across your chest

Give out the same old answers
I trot them out for the relatives
Company tried and tested
I use the ones that I love the best

Like an animal
You're moving over me

When did I get perverted
I can't remember your name
I'm growing introverted
you touch my hand but it's not the same

This was so unexpected
Never thought I'd get caught
Play boomerang with your demons
Shoot to kill and you'll pop them off

Like an animal
You're moving over me

You should be sleeping my love.
Tell me what you're dreaming of

I knew you were mine for the taking
I knew you were mine for the taking when I walked in the room
I knew you were mine for the taking
Your eyes light up when I walk in the room

A hammering in my head don't stop
In the bullet train from Tokyo to Los Angeles
Leaving you behind
A flash in the pan
A storm in a teacup
A needle in a haystack
A prize for the winning
A dead for the raising
A catch for the chasing
A jewel for the choosing
A man for the making
In this blistering heat
You sweat it all out
Your bedroom eyes and those baby pouts
You sweat it all out
Our electric storms and our shifting sands
The candy jars and our sticky hands
You sweat it all out
sweat it all out
Don't forget what I wrote you then
Don't forget what I told you then
Don't forget that I meant it when
Don't forget your ventolin

A hammering in my head don't stop
In the bullet train from Tokyo to Los Angeles
Up

Push It

I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say you'll help me out
Don't worry baby
No need to fight
Don't worry baby
We'll be all right

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches

Push it
Make the beats go higher
Pu-Pu-Pu-Push it
Make the beats go higher

I'm sorry that I hurt you
But please don't ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine
Don't worry baby
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby
We'll stay up all night

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches

Push it
Make the beats go higher
Pu-Pu-Pu-Push it
Make the beats go higher

C'mon push it you can do it
C'mon prove it nothing to it
C'mon use it let's get through it
C'mon push it nothing to it

Don't worry baby
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby
We'll stay up all night

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches

Push it
Make the beats go higher
Pu-Pu-Pu-Push it
This is the noise that keeps me awake
Make the beats go higher
Push it
My head explodes and my body aches
Make the beats go higher
Pu-Pu-Pu-Push it
This is the noise that keeps me awake
Make the beats go higher
My head explodes and my body aches


Don't worry baby
We'll be all right

The Trick is to Keep Breathing

She's not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels
About herself
She takes a little time
In making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight
Against the tide

Lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

Can't bear to face the truth
So sick he cannot move
And when it hurts he takes it
Out on you

Lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

The trick is to keep breathing

She knows the human heart
And how to read the stars
Now everything's about to fall apart

I won't be the one who's going to let you down
The trick is to keep breathing
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
The trick is to keep breathing

The trick is to keep breathing
Up

Dumb

I never claimed to be your saviour
I said I had a dirty mouth
Stop analyzing my behaviour
If you're too dumb to work it out
I've got to keep myself together
You know I hate to disappoint
A masochistic lamb to slaughter
Maybe you miss the point?

I'm feeling small
I'm climbing the walls
I don't let it show

Now that you know
What you know
I bet you wish you could let it go
You'll never come
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Maybe I could write a letter
To help me with my self esteem
You should get to know me better
No one's ever what they seem

I'm feeling small
I'm climbing the walls
I don't let it show

Now that you know
What you know
I bet you wish you could let it go
You'll never come
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

You still don't know what you think of me
You still don't know what to make of me
You still don't know what you see in me
You still don't know what you think I mean

Now that you know
What you know
I bet you wish you could let it go
You'll never come
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

You still don't know what you think of me.
You still don't know what you need from me
You still don't know what you think you mean
You still don't know what you think you mean
You still don't know what you think of me.

Sleep Together

I got you crawling up a mountain
Hanging round my neck
Got you twisted round my finger
Crawling round my legs

The emptiness
The craziness
Satisfy this hungriness
Darling how would it feel

If we sleep together
Will you like me better
If we cum together
We'll go down forever
If we sleep together
will I like you better
If we cum together
Prove it now or never

Make me a pretty person
Make me feel like I belong
Make me hard and make me happy
Make me beautiful


The emptiness
The craziness
Satisfy this hungriness
Darling how would it feel

If we sleep together
Will you like me better
If we cum together
We'll go down forever
If we sleep together
will I like you better
If we cum together
Prove it now or never

If we sleep together
Nothing satisfies me baby
If we sleep together
I'll wear something pretty baby
If we sleep together
Give me what I crave now baby
If we sleep together
Save the rest for later baby
If we sleep together
You will drive me crazy baby
If we sleep together
I save it all for you my baby

If we sleep together

Wicked Ways

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
Acted like a lunatic for years
Lord knows I try to be good
I'd keep my promises if only I could
You count your blessings that I can't rely on you

And I tried

Clutch your pictures of the Pope
Pray to God for love and hope
Bring the Virgin home for luck
Bolt the door to keep it shut

I've done things I never thought I'd do
Sure it helps to lose myself in you
A little time and I'll be all right
C'mon sugar let's go out tonight
Forgive your trespasses and all that we've been through

And I tried

Clutch your pictures of the Pope
Pray to God for love and hope
Bring the Virgin home for luck
Bolt the door to keep it shut

That sinking feeling
When you are leaving
All I believe in
Walks out the door

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
The damage done there's nothing left to save

And I tried

Clutch your pictures of the Pope
Just like I told you
Pray to God for love and hope
Just like I warned you
Bring the virgin home for luck
Just like I told you
Bolt the door to keep it shut
Just like I warned you
Up

You Look So Fine

You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And give you mine
You're taking me over
It's so insane
You've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name
And I'm falling over

I'm not like all of the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
That you used to know
You look so fine

Knocked down
Cried out
Been down just to find out
I'm through
Bleeding for you

I'm open wide
I want to take you home
We'll waste some time
You're the only one for me
You look so fine
I'm like the desert tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me

I'm not like all of the other girls
I won't take it like the other girls
I won't fake it like the other girls
That you used to know

You're taking me over
Over and over
I'm falling over
Over and over
Drown in me
One more time
Hide inside
Me tonight
Do what you
Want to do
Just pretend
Happy end
Let me know
Let it show
Ending with
Letting go
Ending with
Letting go
Ending with

Beautiful Garbage

Shut Your Mouth

Welcome we love you
We hate you
We love you
We want you
We need you
We wish we were like you
They say you're a saint
You're a whore
You're a sinner
That he had you
He made you
He can't live without you.

Would you confess if we asked
That you nurture the urge
To declare that it's time
To settle down
With a man of your own
You want a baby
A family
A piece of security

Shut your mouth
Try not to panic
Just shut your mouth
If you can do it

What's your opinion on the dire situation
In our land here
Our guest here
Of course you'll be nice here
How do you feel about god and religion
Are you good people
Bad people
Guess it doesn't matter people.

Your place
My place
Make her bring that famous face
You got some
You want some
You wanna let me get you some
We know your music but of course we'd never buy it
It's too fake man
Right man!
(We don't give a damn.)

I hear you say it
Play it smart girl
Win the game love
Give 'em what they want
What they want to see and you could be a big star
You could go far
Make a landmark
What have you been reading you smart girl?
Win the game love
Give 'em what they want
What they want to see and you could be a big star
You could go far
Make a landmark
Make a shit load.

And the world spins by
With everybody moaning
Pissing, bitching and everyone is shitting
On their friends
On their love
On their oaths
On their honour
On their graves
Out their mouths
And their words say nothing

I waited to say something
Oh shut your mouth
I wanted to say something
Oh shut your mouth
I wanted to be something
Oh shut your mouth
Up

Androgyny

When everything is going wrong
And you can't see the point in going on
Well nothing in life is set in stone
There's nothing that can't be turned around

Nobody wants to feel alone
And everybody wants to love someone
Out of the tree go pick a plum
Why can't we all just get along?

Boys in the girls room
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys in the parlor
They're getting harder
I'll free your mind and your androgyny

No sweeter a taste that you could find
Than fruit hanging ripe upon the vine
There's never been an oyster so divine
A river deep that never runs dry

The birds and bees they hum along
Like treasures they twinkle in the sun
Get on board and have some fun
Take what you need to turn you on

Behind closed doors and under stars
It doesn't matter where you are
Collecting jewels that catch your eye
Don't let a soulmate pass you by
Up

Can't Cry These Tears

I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

Can't find it in the bible
Can't find it on TV
Can't find it in diamonds
There's something inside me that just won't allow me to
Find it in music
Can't find it in my soul
Can't find it in chocolate
Oh babe I can't hide it
I can't even find it in you

There's no way she can kiss you
The way that I do
I heard that you miss me
Oh you should be careful of who you keep talking to
Long nights without you have taught me to be strong
I've cut all my losses
Think no more about it cause I couldn't find it in you

There was a time I thought I'd die
If you should ever leave me high and dry
Now you don't want me any more
It's time to settle the score

I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my tether
I've torn all your letters up
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my rope
And it's time that I told you so
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
Up

Til the Day I Die

You walked into the room
The sun hit my eyes
The force you struck me down caught me by surprise
You sprung the mojo and it worked like a charm
I felt invincible with you in my arms

I must confess it can feel good to feel pain
Like breaking waves or getting caught in the rain
Playing those games cause we had nothing to do
I was oblivious I was losing to you

Oh I will love you to the day that I die

Holy Jesus
Holy rock 'n roll
The more I gave to you the more you grew bored
And making love became the waging of war
No peace
No tenderness
No fun anymore

I dreamt that I called out your name
You turned your face to me and started to say
Something so beautiful it hurt deep inside
So I will love you till the day that I die
Up

Cup of Coffee

You tell me you don't love me over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crashing to dust
I just let it fade away

I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by

So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends

I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
I lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls
Hanging round bars at night wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home

So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I still feel like this
I guess I always knew the score
This is where our story ends

You left behind some clothes
My belly summersaults when I pick them off the floor
My friends all say they're worried
I'm looking far too skinny
I've stopped returning all their calls

And no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still so obsessed
I want to ask where I went wrong
But don't say anything at all

It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me
Up

Silence is Golden

If I am silent then I am not real
But if I speak up then no one will hear
If I wear a mask there's somewhere to hide

Silence is Golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

If I raise my voice will someone get hurt
And if I can't feel then I won't get touched
If no truths are spoken then no lies can hide

Silence is Golden
Nobody gets in
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

Did you hear me speak
Do you understand
Did you hear my voice
Will you hold my hand
Do you understand me

Won't someone listen
Nobody gets in
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Something was stolen
Safe in my own skin
Up

Cherry Lips

She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She'd just turned twenty-one
She didn't care to hang around
So when the shit came down
Why she was nowhere to be found
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing
That you had ever seen

You're such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms

With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp
When you'd go walking past them
In your hot pants and high heels
They could not believe
That such a body was for real
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
Because you looked just like a girl
Your baby blues would flash
And suddenly a spell was cast

You hold a candle in your heart
You shine the light on hidden parts
You make the whole world wanna dance
You bought yourself a second chance

Go Baby Go Go
We're right behind you
Go baby Go Go
Yeah we're looking at you
Go baby Go GO
Aw we're right behind you
Go Baby
Go Baby
Yeah we're looking at you
Go

Breaking Up the Girl

In a modern culture
My friend you must be careful
They've a million ways to kill you
In this dangerous world
There's an art to growing old
Taking chances
Magic happens

One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag
I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl

I am afraid that there's much to be afraid of
Here today and gone tomorrow
Don't end up in the gutter
Just like the one before
You're just the same
Such a loser

You've go to let her go because you're breaking up
You're breaking up the girl
Up

Drive You Home

It's funny how
Even now
You still support me after all of the things that I've done
You're so good to me
Waiting patiently
And isn't it sad that you still have to ask if I care?

I never said I was perfect
But I can take you away

Walk on shells tonight
Can't do right tonight
And you can't say a word
Cause I leap down your throat
So uptight am I

I never said I was perfect
But I can drive you home

I got down on myself
Working too hard
Driving myself to death
Trying to beat out the faults in my head
What a mess I've made
Sure we all make mistakes
But they see me so large that they think I'm immune to the pain

I'm praying for a miracle
But I won't hold my breath
I never said I was perfect
But can you drive me home
Up

Parade

KABOOM
Get it right
Get it right now
Get it right
Do it good
Get it right now

Oh let's bomb the factory
That makes all the wannabes
Let's burst all the bubbles
That brainwash the masses

As far as I can tell
It doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's something worth fighting for
The colour of an eye
The glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms
The smile he always shoots at you

Believing in nothing
Makes life so boring
So let's pray for something
To feel good in the morning

Oh doctor
We're dying
There's no use in crying
So live for tomorrow
And do what you have to.
Up

Nobody Loves You

Watching the days slip by so fast
Knowing our fate has long been cast
Working our fingers to the bone
Cause nobody loves you when you're gone

Coughing up feeling just for you
To find something real to hold on to
But there is a hole inside my heart
Where all of my love comes pouring out.

You know you'll always be my man
But grab yourself sweetness where you can
Cause sooner or later we're going to die
Left to the dogs under the sky

I cracked a piece of broken glass

Coughing up feeling just for you
To find something real to hold on to
But there is a hole inside my heart
Where waves of my love come tumbling out.
You say that all the good is gone
That I have forgotten who I am
Free as a bird
Wild as the wind
But somehow I cannot let you in
Up

Untouchable

This is nothing new to me
It takes more than what you got
To frighten me
I'm not scared of you
There's nothing you can do
Or take from me

Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
No one's untouchable

You're bound to lose the game
There's no one else to blame
You play so safe
And you're not risking enough
You are doomed to be undone
I swear I'll be the one
To bring you down
It's all your fault
Cause you got caught

It must be nice
To be so sure
And never feel insecure
It must feel good to believe
You're always right
And you're never wrong

You've got something to say
You say it to my face
And be a man about it
You got a problem with me
Don't go behind my back
Just like a baby

Pride comes before you take a fall
You'd best beware a woman scorned
Cause no one's untouchable
Up

So Like a Rose

Baby thinks he's dying
Lost inside his bedroom
Mommy won't stop crying
And daddy's always working

There's no going back
There's no going back
There's no going back
On this one

Baby wakes up with the sun
While everyone is sleeping
He thinks he's going crazy
This could be the big one

Sleeping with ghosts
It's such a lonely experience
The stars are out tonight
Only they can hear you breathing

You're so like a rose
I wish you could stay here

Besides

#1 Crush

I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side, to know that you're mine

I would cry for you
I would cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears, and drown your fears

I will pray for you
I will pray for you,
I will sell my soul for something pure and true, someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm talkin'
You will believe in me, and I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart, and tear it apart

I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see, you're just like me

Violate all the love that I'm missin'
Throw away all the pain that I'm livin'
You will believe in me, and I can never be ignored

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I will wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sink ships for you,
Take the cross for you
Make me a part of you
Because I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you

13 X Forever

13 times you - with my calmer hand
13 times I fucked on your dogma
you taught me to hate
you taught me to crawl
you raised your hand and you raised the bottle
you knock me down but it's made me stronger
the harder you hit the harder you fall

this one's for my mother
what will i do without her
don't look back, don't even bother
this one's for the father
who loves his middle daughter
well here i am, don't even bother

you can freak out about me
but you'd lose your mind without me
you thought you could see right through me
but this made no difference to me anyway
anyway...

a free reign gave you ammunition
to play the game and --- all the women
something just snapped and cracked in my brain
13 times I sucked up inside me
the different ways that you tried to harm me
you didn't once, you'll do it again

this one's for my sister
you dare to denigrate her
don't look back, don't even bother
this one's for my lover
the one who had to suffer
here i am, don't even bother

you can freak out about me
but you'd lose your mind without me
you thought you could see right through me
but this made no difference to me anyway
anyway
anyway
anyway...

13 times...one
13 times...two
13 times...three
13 times...four
13 times...five
13 times...six
13 times...seven
13 times...eight

Afterglow

Center on the wide horizon
Focus on the galaxy
Sweep away your expectations
And recognise your enemies

But here you're talking to yourself
You're stripping off for someone else
You've got to learn to love yourself
It's all that counts, there's little else

You're always looking for affection
And all it's possibilities
Your sense is searching for attention,
Emerging need of gravity
I think you think you're someone else
You've got to learn to save yourself
Before you find there's nothing left
But bitterness and holiness
And afterglow
And afterglow

Butterfly Collector

So you finally got what you wanted
You've achieved your aim by making the walking lame
And when you just can't get any higher
You use your senses to suss out this week's climber
And the small fame that you've acquired
Has brought you into cult status
But to me you're still a collector

There's tarts and whores but you're much more
You're a different kind because you want their minds
And you just don't care 'cause you've got no brain
It's just that face on your pillowcase that thrills you

And you've started looking much older
And your fashion sense is second rate like your perfume
But to you in your own little dream world
You're still the queen of the butterfly collectors

You carry on 'cause it's all you know
You can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew
You get from day to day by filling your head
But you surely must know the thrill between your legs has worn off

And I don't care about morals
Because the world's insane and we're all to blame anyway
And I don't feel any sorrow
Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors

There's tarts and whores but you're much more
You're a different kind 'cause you want their minds
And you just don't care 'cause you've got no brains
It's just a face on your pillowcase that thrills you

You carry on because it's all you know
You can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew
You get from day to day be filling your head
But you surely must know the thrill between your legs has worn off

And I don't feel any sorrow towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors

Can't Seem to Make You Mine

Can't you see what you do to me
You fill my life with misery
With every breath every step I take
I'm more in love with you

I can't go on like this
A little bit of love, not a kiss

I gotta have your love everyday
One that'll never fade

Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath, every step I take
I'm more in love with you

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine

Kissing all around all the time
I can't seem to make you mine
Flying around like a bee
Hurting everything you see

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine

Deadwood

Deadwood if you care to listen
Looks the same but there's something missing
It wears me out

Stripped bare I'm the same old savage
I always claimed did we ever manage
It's not enough

Look me in the eye
I'm about to dive
Can you live your life
Without me

I don't need you anymore
I can't use you anymore
Killing the fire
And you kill the desire
I don't need you anymore

Loud and clear but you still don't get it
I call you up and then I regret it
It gets me down

You want the truth but you look right through it
Deadwood, but you won't run to it
It's such a shame

Look me in the eye
I'm about to dive
Can you live your life
Without me

I don't need you anymore
I can't use you anymore
Killing the fire
And you kill the desire

I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I can't use you anymore

Killing the fire and you kill the desire

Get Busy with the Fizzy

Well I might just consider this
If you don't let me down
If you can keep me happy
Well you can stick around
Now I don't care for sycofants
They drive me round the bend
But if you can't control yourself
Then let's just keep good friends

Let's make out in the back of your car
Let's go driving and toodling around
We could always get lost in a crowd
Are you ready to get deep down?

Now there's something you should know about
I'm chronically depressed
I internalize my hatred
And sacrafice myself
Now I am busy Saturday
But I am free tonight
And I might have to sort you out
If you don't do it right

Let's make out in the back of your car
Let's go driving and toodling around
We could always get lost in a crowd
Are you ready to get deep down?

Get Bizzy with the fizzy baby
Get Bizzy with the fizzy baby

Don't turn around
Let them kick back off the ground

That could well change overnight
You want to take that pretty head
Lay down in someone else's bed

Kick My Ass

I'm so sorry
You had to Kick my Ass
You said I ruined your life
I didn't mean to do that

I had to untangle
Where we was intwined
Were you strangling me
Or were you breathing so fine

The jam I was in
When things weren't working out
Lead me to the brunt
Of your swinging bout

I'm so sorry
I regreat everything
But what can I do
To have you take back that swing

I'm so sorry
A scuffle ensued
But things are much better now
I guess thanks to you

The jam I was in
When things weren't working out
Lead me to the brunt
Of your swinging bout

I'm so sorry
You had to pull my hair
I was taking care of business
A lot of business giving there

Oh won't you lick the pavement for me

Why don't you call me you
Know where I'll be

Oh wont you lick the pavement for me

Sleep

In the middle of the night
Head on my pillow
Looking like a littleghost
Seems like all that you gave me mother
Have all gone up in smoke


In the middle of the night
You don't know what I'm thinking
But still the stars just sparkle and shine
Seems like all the time our boat was slowly sinking
You didn't even seem to mind


Now all I want to do is sleep
Now all I want to do is sleep
Now all I want to do, is sleep

Soldier Through This

You work too hard
So when you come home to me
You are tired and
You don't wanna talk about it

You envy my drive and
How I am motivated

We'll go down to the park and
Check out the carnival
For a while and
Try to forget all about it

I'm out of control And you don't appreciate it


Believe it, I need it
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

You say I've changed
Self centered and vain
And you don't respect me for it

The world is the same
So I'll play the game
And you've grown to hate me for it

So we're rearanged
There's no one to blame
But still you resent me for it

I call all the shots
I hold all the cards
And you feel emasculated

Believe it, I need it
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

Believe it, I need this
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

Believe it, I need this
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

How do we reconcile this?
How do we reconcile this?
How do we reconcile this?
How do we reconcile this?

Subhuman

Burn down all your idols
Destroy your idols
Create a scene

There goes all your reason
It's helter skelter
It's not a dream

Come down from the altar
Remove your blindfold
What do you see?

Nothing left to do here
There's nothing new here
It's all the same

You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

Ha-re Hare Krisha
Was that your sister?
A covergirl

A wasted primadonna
She lost her way here
She disappeared

Come back to your altar
and build a fire
It's getting cold

Nothing stops to wait here
There's not a soul here
You're all alone

You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

Here we go now

Hear the new religion
No inhibition
No alibi

Televised confession
A true obsession
Is on the rise

Miscommunication
Disinformation
A perfect waste

Bite the sacred apple
Suck the poison
Enjoy the taste

You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

You're going down, down, down
You're going down, down, down
You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?

How low can you go...how low can you go...how low can you go...how low can you go...how low can you go

Supernatural

Built a king on compliments
Charisma and advertisements
Still they see him shimmer ephemeral
It ain't supernatural
No, it ain't supernatural

It was an out of body experience
Yes I flew around the hospital walls
Intravenous demerol
And it weren't supernatural
No, it weren't supernatural
Supernatural maybe

A sudden smell of hay
A certain view
Sparked off a case of the deja vu
Is it inexplicable?
No, no, it ain't supernatural
No, it ain't supernatural

Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you

Tell him what we said about "Paint It black"
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you.

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of.
And would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, then, let me know
If it's "no," well, I can go.
I won't make you.

Trip My Wire

Be easy with me
I'm fragile
I'm easily broken

Be careful with me
I'm a fighter
And you're a cheat and you're a liar

I don't need this anymore
This is not what I came for
I won't stand for this at all
I won't see you any more

Be easy on me
Don't trip my wire
I'm a freak and I'm on fire

Be easy on me
Trip my wire
I'm a freak and I'm on fire

I don't need this anymore
This is not what I came for
I won't stand for this at all
I won't see you any more

Be careful with me
I'm fragile
I'm a bitch babe and I'm on fire

Be careful with me
I'm fragile
I'm a bitch babe and I'm on fire

Tri-tri-trip, trippin on my wire
B-b-baby baby I'm on fire
B-b-baby baby I'm on fire
I'm a freak freak freak and baby I'm on fire
I'm a freak freak freak and baby I'm a liar
I'm a freak freak freak and baby I'm on fire

Be careful with me
Be careful with me
I'm fragile

Don't you trip,
Stepping on my wire
I'm a freak, freak, freak
But baby I'm on fire

I don't need this any more
This is not what I came for

Come on Shirl....
You got a thing that thing gets me on fire

Come on Shirl...
Gets me on fire...

The World is not Enough

I know how to hurt
I know how to kill
I know what to show
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

I...I feel sick
I...I feel scared
I...I feel ready
And yet unprepared

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

The world is not enough
The world is not enough
