I am gone, everybody's raging And these fruits they still taste of poison I won't be around when you really need me I can't sleep, why can't someone hold me? I need warmth, a restless body cracks and moans I won't have the strength when you really need me

I don't want to be crippled and cracked Shoulders, wrists, knees and back Ground to dust and ash Crawling on all fours When you've got to feel it in your bones When you've got to feel it in your bones Now I can't climb the stairs Pieces missing everywhere Prozac painkillers When you've got to feel it in your bones When you've got to feel it in your bones And I used to fly like Peter Pan All th...
Limb by limb, and tooth by tooth It's tearing up inside of me Every day, every hour I wish that I was bullet proof Wax me, mould me Heat the pins and stab them in You have turned me into this Just wish that it was bullet proof Was bullet proof So pay me money and take a shot Lead-fill the hole in me I could burst a million bubbles All surrogate and bullet proof And bullet proof And bullet proo...
A green plastic watering can For a fake Chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself It wears her out, it wears her out It wears her out, it wears her out She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns He used to do surgery On the girls in the eighties But gravity always w...
Two jumps in a week I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy? Flying on your motorcycle Watching all the ground beneath you drop You'd kill yourself for recognition Kill yourself to never, ever stop You broke another mirror You're turning into something you are not Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Drying up in conversation You'll be the ...
Can't get the stink off He's been hanging ?round for days Comes like a comet Suckered you but not your friends One day he'll get to you And teach you how to be a holy cow You do it to yourself, you do And that's what really hurts Is that you do it to yourself Just you, you and no one else You do it to yourself You do it to yourself Don't get my sympathy Hanging out the 15th floor You've change...
Faith, you're driving me away You do it every day You don't mean it But it hurts like hell My brain says I'm receiving pain A lack of oxygen From my life support My iron lung We're too young to fall asleep Too cynical to speak We are losing it Can't you tell?

You can force it But it will not come You can taste it But it will not form You can crush it But it's always here You can crush it But it's always near Chasing you home saying Everything is broken Everyone is broken You can force it But it will stay stung You can crush it As dry as a bone You can walk it home Straight from school You can kiss it You can break all the rules, all the rules But s...
Rows of houses all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again And fade out This machine will, will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child, form a circle Before we all go under And fade out again And fade out again Cracked eggs, dead birds Scream as t...
You bite through the big wall The big wall bites back You just sit there and sulk Sit there and bawl You are so pretty When you're on your knees Disinfected And eager to please Sometimes you sulk Sometimes you burn God rest your soul And when the loving comes And we've already gone Just like your dad You'll never change Each time it comes It eats me alive I try to behave But it eats me alive S...
Where do we go from here? The words are coming out all weird Where are you now, when I need you? Alone on an aeroplane Falling asleep against the window pane My blood will thicken I need to wash myself again To hide all the dirt and pain 'Cos I'd be scared That there's nothing underneath But who are my real friends? Have they all got the bends? Am I really sinking this low? My baby's got the b...

In the next world war In a jackknifed juggernaut I am born again In the neon sign Scrolling up and down I am born again In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In a deep, deep sleep Of the innocent I am born again In a fast German car I'm amazed that I survived An airbag saved my life In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In an interstellar burst I am back to ...

When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so fucking special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here?

Transport Motorways and tramlines Starting and then stopping Taking off and landing The emptiest of feelings Disappointed people Clinging onto bottles And when it comes it's so so disappointing Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Shell smashed, juices flowing Wings twitch legs are going Don't get sentimental It always ends up drivel One day ...
