How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string
How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You used to reel me out and then you cut the string
You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue
Did your string ...
I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide
January has April's showers
And 2 and 2 always makes a 5
It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now
Because you have not been payin' attention
Payin' attention, payin' attention
Payin' attention
You have not been payin' attention
Payin' attention, payin' attention
Payin' attention
You have not been ...
I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide
January has April's showers
And 2 and 2 always makes a 5
It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now
Because you have not been payin' attention
Payin' attention, payin' attention
Payin' attention
You have not been payin' attention
Payin' attention, payin' attention
Payin' attention
You have not been ...
This is just a nightmare
Soon I'm gonna wake up
Someone's gonna bring me 'round
Running from the bombers
Hiding in the forest
Running through the fields
Laying flat on the ground
Just like everybody
Stepping over hills
Running from the underground
This is your warning
4 minute warning
I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna know
I just wanna run and hide
This is just a nightmare
But soon I'm gonna...
No no, no, no no, no
No no, no, no no, no
No no, no, no no, no
No no, no, no no, no
No no, no, no no, no
No no, no, no no, no
I don't know why you bother
Nothing's ever good enough for you
I was there, it wasn't like that
You've come here just to start a fight
You had to piss on our parade
You had to shred our big day
You had to ruin it for all concerned
In a drunken punchup at a wedding, yeah...
If I get old
I will not give in
But if I do
Remind me of this
Remind me that
Once I was free
Once I was cool
Once I was me
And if I sat down
And crossed my arms
Hold me into
This song
Knock me out
Smash out my brains
If I take a chair
Start to talk shit
If I get old
Remind me of this
One night we kissed
And I really meant it
Whatever happens
If we're still speaking
Pick up the phone
Play me th...
Drag ?em out your window, dragging out the dead
Singing I miss you, Snakes and Ladders
Flip the lid, out pops the cracker
Snaps you in the head, knifes you in the neck
Kicks you in the teeth, steel toe caps
Takes all your credit cards, get up, get the gunge
Get the eggs, get the flan in the face
The flan in the face, the flan in the face
Dance you fucker, dance you fucker, don't you dare
Don't...
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 ...
I'm the next act
Waiting in the wings
I'm an animal
Trapped in your hot car
I am all the days
That you choose to ignore
You are all I need
You?re all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds
I am a moth
Who just wants to share your light
I'm just an insect
Trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you
Because there are no others
You are all I need
You?re all I need

There's a little child runnin' 'round this house
And he never leaves, he will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows in the dark
Baby alligators in the sewers
Grow up fast, grow up fast
Anything you want it can be done now
How did you go bad?
Did you go bad? Did you go bad?
Some things will never wash away
Did you go bad? Did you go bad?
Morning bell
Morning bell
Light another candle
Release me
Release me
You can keep the furniture
A bump on the head
Coming down the chimney
Release me
Release me
Yeah..
Release me
Release me
Where'd you park the car?
Where'd you park the car?
Clothes are on the lawn with the furniture
And I might as well
I might as well
Sleepy jack the fire drill
Run around around around around around..
Cut the...
Destiny, destiny protect me from the world
Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world
Here we are with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere
And if the world does turn and if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I want to be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore
Grow my hair, grow my hair, ...
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes they turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes they turn me
Sunk without a trace
The bottom of the deep
Your eyes they turn me
Turn me into phantoms
I follow you to the edge of the earth
And fall off everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
Eaten by worm...
We're rotten fruit, we're damaged goods
What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifting
There's far but no further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on the brink
Of honey sweet, so fall asleep
I'm backsliding
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
All evidence has b...
Oh, Banana Co
We really love you and we need you
And oh, Banana co
We'd really love to believe you
But everything's underground
We gotta dig it up somehow, yeah yeah
Oh, she said, "No go"
She said she'd like to, she's seen you
And oh, Banana Co
She knows if you die, then we all do
And everything's underground
We gotta dig it up somehow, yeah yeah
Everything's burnin' down
We gotta put it out s...
You bit me, bit me, bit me, ow
You bit me, bit me and I want more
I'm standing in the hall, I'm puking on the wall
It's all heading south to the Conger Hill
The bangers in the mash, the negatives for cash
You're either in the club, baby, or you're not
Whatever turns you on, whatever gets you up
Chief of Police or Vice Chancellor
Lord and Lady blah blah, the vicar and the judge
You're all danci...
Drift all you like
From ocean to ocean
Search the whole world
Drunken confessions
And hijacked affairs
Just make you more alone
If you come home I'll bake you a cake
Made of velvet eyes
I wish you could see me
Just when I kill
You're my man-o-war
You're my man-o-war
And the worms will eat you whole
My love
So unplug your phone
Stop all the chatter
It all comes flooding back
From poisoned cloud...
I've had these jeans since I was born
And now they're ripped and now they're torn
And all my friends have skateboards
I want the toys of other boys
I want a knife and a gun and things
But Mom and Dad will not give in
And I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in
No, I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
And now I know just w...
Dressed in Bishop's robes
Terrifies me still
In Bishop's robes
Bastard headmaster
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back
Children taught to kill
To tear themselves to bits
On playing fields
Dressed in Bishop's robes
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back
I get home from work and
You're still standing in your dressing gown
Well what am I to do?
I know all the things around your head
And what they do to you
What are we coming to?
What are we gonna do?
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite
That beams me home
The troubled words of a troubled mind
I try to understand what is eating you
I try to stay awake ...
In my mind
And nailed into my heels
All the time
Killing what I feel
And everything I touch
All wrapped up in cotton wool
All wrapped up and sugar coated
Turns to stone
And everything I touch
All wrapped up in cotton wool
All wrapped up and sugar coated
Turns to stone
I am fused just in case I blow out
I am glued just because I crack out
Everything I touch
Turns to stone
Everything I touch
All...
I do not understand what it is I've done wrong
Full of holes, check the pulse
Blink your eyes one for yes, two for no
I've no idea what I am talking about
I'm trapped in this body and can't get out
Make a sound, move back home
Get an invitation with the edges sawn off
I have no idea what you are talking about
[Incomprehensible]
Has the light gone out for you
Because the light's gone for me?
It...
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...
I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see your reflection
It's always best when the choir is out
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die
And either way you turn, I'll be there
Open up your skull, I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
It's always best when the light ...
Easy living, easy hold
Easy teething, easy fold
Easy listening, easy love
Easy answers to easy questions
Easy tumble, easy doll
Easy rumble, easy fall
I get up on easy love
I get up on easy questions
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?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When ...

Couldn't look you in the eye

You're so very special

What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body

Get yourself together
Let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath
Pour yourself a drink
Nothing's gonna happen without warning
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup?
Down is the new up
Is the new up
Won't you be my girl?
Won't you be my girl?
Your services
Are not required
Your future's bleak
You're so last week
Ladies and gentlemen
Without a safety net

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the th...
I will stop, I will stop at nothing
Say the right things when electioneering
I trust I can rely on your vote
When I go forwards you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
When I go forwards you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet, ha ha ha
Riot shields, voodoo economics
It's just business, cattle prods and the IMF
I trust I can rely on your votes
When I go forwards you go backwards
And so...

Breathe, keep breathing
You can laugh a spineless laugh
We hope that you choke

I've had these jeans since I was born
And now they're ripped and now they're torn
And all my friends have skateboards
I want the toys of other boys
I want a knife and a gun and things
But Mom and Dad will not give in

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...
One, two, three, four
Wakey, wakey, rise and shine
It's on again, off again, on again
Watch me fall like dominos
In pretty patterns
Fingers in the blackbird pie
I'm tingling, tingling, tingling
It's what you feel now
What you ought to, what you ought to
Reasonable and sensible
Dead from the neck up
I guess I'm stuck, stuck, stuck
We thought you had it in you
But no, no, no, for no real reason

Fitter, happier, more productive
Comfortable, not drinking too much
Regular exercise at the gym 3 days a week
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
At ease, eating well
No more microwave dinners and saturated fats
A patient better driver, a safer car, baby smiling in back seat
Sleeping well, no bad dreams, no paranoia
Careful to all animals, never washing spiders down t...
There's a little child runnin' 'round this house
And he never leaves, he will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows in the dark
Baby alligators in the sewers
Grow up fast, grow up fast
Anything you want it can be done now
How did you go bad?
Did you go bad? Did you go bad?
Some things will never wash away
Did you go bad? Did you go bad?
There's a little child runnin' 'round this house
And he never leaves, he will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers

Baby alligators in the sewers
Grow up fast, grow up fast
Anything you want it can be done now
How did you go bad?
Did you go bad? Did you go bad?
Some things will never wash away
Did you go bad? Did you go bad?
I see you in the dark
Falling down the fastlane
Coming out to me
Warm lights belong to me
Crawling out to me
Crawling out to me
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
Even when you're coming down
You are standing for the world
And I can see you now
And I'm being there, to come down
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around

I know what you're thinking
But I'm not your property
No matter what you say
No matter what you say
Move along
There's nothing left to see
Just a body
Nothing left to see
A couple more for breakfast
A little more for tea
Just to take the edge off
Just to take the edge off
Move along
There's nothing left to see
Just a body
Pouring down the street
Move along
There's nothing left to see

Oh Maria, come slowly
Come slowly to me
I've been waiting
Patient, patiently
I didn't care but now I can see
That there's a way out
That there's a way out
That there's a way out
That there's a way out
That there's a way out
Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something big is gonna happen
Over my dead body
Someone's son or someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up sucked in
Over my dead body
I'm gonna go to sleep and let this wash all over me
We don't really want a monster taking over
Tip toe around, tie him down
We don't want the loonies takin' over
Tip toe around, tie him down

You know you should
But you don't
You know you should
But you don't
You got some nerve
Comin' here
You got some nerve
Comin' here
Good morning, Mr. Magpie
How are we today?
They've stolen all my magic
And took my melody
You know you should
but you don't
You know you should
but you don't
You got some nerve
coming here
You got some nerve
coming here
Good morning Mr. Magpie
How are we today
They've stolen all my magic
and took my melody
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 ...
I don't wanna be your friend
I just wanna be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
And fall off the table, get swept under
Denial, denial
The infrastructure will collapse
Voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your husband goodnight
Forget about your house of cards

Seen all good things and bad
Running down the hill
All so battered and brought to the ground
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends
When I'm like this
How can you be smiling, singing
How can you be sure?
How can you be sure?
If you walk out the door
Will I see you again?
If so much of me lies in your eyes
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money ...
He's bitter and twisted
He knows what he wants
He wants to be loved
And he wants to belong
He wants you to listen
He wants us to weep
And he was a stupid baby
Who turned into a powerful freak
But how do you?
How do you?
How do you?
He lives with his mother
But we show him respect
He's a dangerous bigot
But we always forget
And he's just like his daddy
'Cause he cheats on his friends
And he ste...
I was stronger
I was better
Picked you out
Now don't say a word
No, don't yell out
Never mind
Let you out
Let you out
Stay on, sit down
Let it fall
Let it fall
Let it fall
Let it fall
That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening

Mother Mary come to me
For I am a wicked child
I've sinned and I am so confused
And I am a wicked child
I am a wicked child
I am the Devil's son
And I wish I could be good

Yet I wish I could be good
I wish I could be good
If I could've kept on the straight and narrow
If I could've kept on the straight and narrow

How could I. It is cold what is
near? Look OUT Danger Through me
In the pool no one in but me
Im citizen insane x2

Worry
Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasn't me, it was my strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
And there's nothing in this world will keep it down
And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Soon your things that keep, keep me underground
So many words that I, that I can never find
If you give up on me now

I used to think
I used to think
There is no future left at all
I used to think

It's nothing at all
Nothing at all

You're the light wiping out my batteries
You're the cream in my airport-coffees
I don't know why I stick with you
If I had a choice
Like lambs into the slaughter
Like cows to the thunderbolt
You're the Genie of my lamp
I could have been anyone
But one day I froze up
But one day I fr...
I might be wrong

I could have sworn I saw a light
Coming home
I used to think

There is no future left at all
I used to think

Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times
And never look back
Never look back
What would I do?
What would I do
If I did not have you?
Open up and let me in

I won't run away no more, I promise
Even when I get bored, I promise
Even when you lock me out, I promise
I say my prayers every night, I promise
I don't wish that I'm strict, I promise
The tantrums and the chilling chats, I promise
Even when the ship is wrecked, I promise
Tie me to the rotten deck, I promise
I won't fool around no more, I promise
Even when I get bored, I promise
Even when you...
I will lay me down
In a bunker underground
I won't let this happen to my children
Meet the real world coming out of your shell
With white elephants, sitting ducks
I will rise up
Little babies' eyes, eyes eyes eyes
Little babies' eyes, eyes eyes eyes
Little babies' eyes, eyes eyes eyes
I will lay me down
In a bunker underground
I won't let this happen to my children
Meet the real world coming out of your shell
With white elephants, sitting ducks
I will rise up
Little babies' eyes, eyes eyes eyes
Little babies' eyes, eyes eyes eyes
Little babies' eyes, eyes eyes eyes
Who's in a bunker?
Who's in a bunker?
Women and children first
And the children first
And the children
I'll laugh until my head comes off
I'll swallow till I burst
Until I burst
Until I
Who's in a bunker?
Who's in a bunker?
I have seen too much
I haven't seen enough
You haven't seen it
I'll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first
And children

Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea
I got a message I can't read
I got a message I can't read
I'm on your side
Nowhere to hide
Trapdoors that open
I spiral down
You're living in a fantasy world
You're living in a fantasy world
I'm lost at sea
Don't bother me

Did it all for you to say
You never wanted me that way
Now the dogs have had their meat
I think I'll go plug in the mains
I tumble like a clown
Before your baying hounds
I supplicate myself into your hands
When you spare a make up smile
I'm instantly your biggest fan
How was I to know
That you practiced it beforehand?
I tumble like a clown
Before your baying hounds
I supplicate myself into you...
What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my fingers bleed
Now they're staring at me
I'm a coward now
I hold my peace
Now you tie me up to your feather bed
And I twist and turn in a Chinese burn
You won't let go
You won't let go
You're inside my head
Inside my head
What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my energy you suck from me
And I'm holding on for dear life
Quit smothering me

Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favorite song
As your blather disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you've had too much
Come back and focus again
The walls abandon shape
You've got a Cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circu...
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...
Karma police
Arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio
Karma police
Arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo
Is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party
This is what you'll get
This is what you'll get
This is what you'll get
When you mess with us
Karma police
I've given all I can
It's not enough
I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll

I slip away
I slipped on a little white lie
We've got heads on sticks
You've got ventriloquists
We've got heads on sticks
You've got ventriloquists
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
The rats and children will follow me out of town
The rats and childr...
Killer cars, cars
Killer cars
Too hard on the brakes again
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they don't get out of the way?
What if there's someone overtaking?
I'm going out for a little drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
There could be an idiot on the road
The only kick in life is pumping his steel
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk...
You're bein' took for a ride
Plain, old and lazy
Please keep movin'
Better keep movin'
Don't fall asleep at the wheel
I'll wait for you but you never came
Please keep movin'

I want you to know
He's not coming back
Look into my eyes
I'm not coming back
So knives out
Catch the mouse
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth
If you'd been a dog
They would've drowned you at birth
Look into my eyes
It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth
So knives out
Cook him up
Squash his head
Put him in the pot
I want you to know
He's not coming back
He's bloated and frozen...
Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk
And I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Relief
Relief
Belief
But if I?m gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen
'Cause I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me esca...
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 ...
Bummed out again by your only business friend
The smell of failure is thicker than you think
Don't do this
Don't, do
Changed shape to fit
In the end you just feel sick
A million love songs under anesthetic
Hey don't do this
Don't, do
Lewis, save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis, save yourself the pain
It never really matters
We never noticed, we never understood

Once again, I'm in trouble with my only friend
She is papering the window panes
She is putting on a smile
Living in a glass house
Once again, packed like frozen food and battery hens
Think of all the starving millions
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones
Your royal highnesses
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'...
This is the place
Sit down, you're safe now
You've been stuck in a lift
We've been trying to reach you, Thom
This is the place
It won't hurt, it will not hurt
A smell of recognition
A face you barely loved
Empty all your pockets
'Cause it's time to go home
This is the place
Remembering all the things you always see
You've been stuck in a lift
In the belly of a whale
At the bottom of the ocean
...
While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
A delicate balance
When this just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
Our bodies floating down the muddy river
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'm on a roll
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change
Kill me Sarah
Kill me again with love
It's gonna be a glorious day
Pull me out of the air crash
Pull me out of the lake
?Cause I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge
The head of state has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change
Pull me out of the air cr...
You stop the crowd
I cried out to break the spell
You [unverified] and smile
I just snapped and lost control
Distracted by irrelevance
The stress and the tension
The stress and the tension
I'm in a lull
There's nothing so dull
As talking, talking 'bout yourself
But what I meant to say
I'm sorry that I lost control
Distracted by irrelevance
The stress and the tension
Crawling through the keyhol...
I feel better, I feel better now you've gone
I got better, I got better, I got strong
I feel better, I feel better now there's nothing wrong
I got better, I got better, I got strong
Tell me something, tell me something I don't know
Tell me one thing, tell me one thing, and let it go
I got something, I got something, heaven knows
I got something, I got something, I don't know
Here it comes, here it comes
I can feel the hills exploding
Exploding gracefully
Burning up the freeway
Here it comes
Grass is green at the edge of the bubble
Beautiful kids into beautiful trouble
And it seems to fall out of the sky
And come down on you
Oh baby, burn
Fast, die younger
Burns rubber
Useless rockers from England
Guitars, hard by all
Just swallow your guilt and your conscious
Blue...
Don't forget that you are our son
Now go back to bed
We just know that you'll do well
You won't come to harm
Death to all who stand
In your way, my dear
Was always waiting for the crush
The car to drive right through the shops
To call in sick and late at work
To take a holiday
Was always tangled up in knots
To keep myself from speaking up
But no one's listening anyway
Just trying to bribe me
And if it's alright, then what am I doing here?
And if it's alright, this place is gassed by fear
And if it's alright, I'll tell you, 'cause you never und...

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get back where I belong
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
I will see you in the next life
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?
We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung
The head shrinkers
They want everything

The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his newfound friends
He said, I been where I liked
I slept with who I liked
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice
But now I don't know why
I feel so tongue-tied
I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down in neat
They were cheering and waving, cheering and waving
Twitching and salivating like with myxomato...
They love me like I was a brother
They protect me, listen to me
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine, made me happy
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream
I call up my friend, the good angel
But she's out with her answerphone
She says that she would love to come help but
The sea would electrocute us all
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream, nice dream

Soul destroyed with clever toys for little boys
It's inevitable, inevitable, it's a soul destroyed
You feel it till you're dry
You feel it till you've had enough
And you don't understand
No ripcord, no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord
Airplane, do I mean what I mean
It's inevitable, inevitable, oh airplane
A thousand miles an hour
The politics of power
See you don't understand

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache
With no alarms and no s...
Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best
I wasn't lookin', but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me, the spy who loved me
Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better
But sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so...
Nothing touches me, man
These walls are three feet thick
Wouldn't take one of them
Little drills to get through it
I try to make her listen
When I turn away she's split
I try to make her listen
When I turn away she's split
She went
Nothing touches me
Nothing touches me now
Nothing touches me, man
No matter how you split
Sticks and stones can get through bones
So I've given up looking out of it...
I've had these jeans since I was born
And now they're ripped and now they're torn
And all my friends have skateboards

I want a knife and a gun and things

And I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in

Vultures circling the dead

It is difficult to concentrate
Meet the boss, meet the wife
Everybody's happy
Everyone is made for life
In a city of the future
It is difficult to find a space
I'm too busy to see you
You're too busy to wait
But I'm okay, how are you?
Thanks for asking, thanks for asking
But I'm okay, how are you?
I hope you're okay too

Take your armor off, you're not under attack
Take your armor off, you're not under attack
Come on, come on

Please could you stop the noise? I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but not an android
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but not an android
When I am king you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but no android
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but no...

Dew-drop dentures, white-washed faces

Vanilla
Feel it crawl to me
Milkshakes
Crawl back again
From Hard Rock

Cafes
Make it go away
That's where
I feel it crawl to me
She got her
Crawl back again
Sweet tooth
Make it go away
For white boys
Whatever you say

The easiest way to sleep at night
Is to carry on believing
That I don't exist
The easiest way to sell your soul
Is to carry on believing
That we don't exist
It must be hard, hard
With your head on backwards
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

It died an ugly death by back-catalogue

And radio has salmonella
And now you know you're gonna die
He left this message for us
So what, pop is dead, it's no great loss
So many facelifts, his face flew off

I can't afford to breathe in this town,
nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand.
Hooked back up to the cathode ray,
I'm better off dead,
I'm better off dead,

Prove yourself,

I want to breathe, I want to grow,

I work, I bleed, I beg, I pray,

There are barn doors
And there are revolving doors
Doors on the rudders of big ships
And there are revolving doors
There are doors that open by themselves
There are sliding doors
And there are secret doors
There are doors that lock and doors that don't
There are doors that let you in
And out but never open
But there are trapdoors
That you can't come back from
I wrapped you inside my coat
When they came to firebomb the house
I didn't feel pain 'cause no one can touch me
Now that I'm held in your spell
A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl can turn your world to dust
Sell me a car that goes
Sell me a house that stands up
I never cared before, I never cared before
I never cared before, before, before

Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little rowboat
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the f...

Scared of the spotlight
You don't come to visit

Thin rubber gloves
She laughs when she's crying
She cries when she's laughing
Fat bloody fingers

Away, away, away
I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
Washed down the toilet
Money to burn
Fat bloody fingers

I sucked the moon, I spoke too soon
And how much did it cost?
I was dropped from moonbeams
And sailed on shooting stars
Maybe you'll be president
But know right from wrong
Or in the flood you'll build an Ark
And sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon
Sail to the moon

And the wise men say, "I don't want to hear your voice"
And the thin men say, "I don't want to hear your voice"
And they're cursing me, and they won't let me be

Stop whispering, start shouting

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

Be a world child, form a circle

Funny how to drive your stupid car
Funny how 'cause I never get that far
And you put my brain in overload
I can't change gear, I cannot see the road
You got concrete eyes and I cannot see your face
And I failed in life 'cause you crushed me with your hands
And you put my brain in overload
I can't change gear, I cannot see the road
The breath of the morning I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
Up above aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets
They're all uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight

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

The amazing sound of the killing hordes
The day the banks collapse on us
Cease this endless chattering
Like everything is fine
When sorry is not good enough
Sit in the back while no one drives
So glad you're mine
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...

It is now the witching hour
Genie let out of the bottle
It is now the witching hour
Murderers, you're murderers
We are not the same as you

Funny, ha ha, funny how?
When the walls bend, when the walls bend
With your breathing, with your breathing
When the walls bend, when the walls bend
With your breathing, with your breathing

Everyone
Everyone around here
Everyone is so near
It's holding on
It's holding on
Everyone
Everyone is so near
Everyone has got the fear
It's holding on
It's holding on
It's holding on
It's holding on
It's holding on
Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief?
Oh Lord please won't you tell me,
Why must I be the thief.
Why must I be the thief
He said to the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
That's black around, that always stares
Why must I be the thief
He asked of the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who lived with an open hand
Now why must I be the thief
You've cursed with man...
It barks at no one else but me
Like it's seen a ghost
I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin'
No one else would know
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down
Sometimes I get overcharged
That's when you see sparks
They ask me where the hell I'm going
At a thousand feet per second
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow ...
Lost in the mountain
Rust in my brain
The air is sacred here
In spite of your claim
Up on the rooftops
Out of reach
Trickster is meaningless
Trickster is weak
He's talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey, hey, hey
This is only halfway
Hey, hey, hey
This is only halfway
I wanted you so bad
That I couldn't say
All these things fall apart
We wanted out so bad
We couldn't say
These things ...
In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just ?cause you feel it doesn't mean it's there
Just ?cause you feel it doesn't mean it's there
There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck
Don't reach out, don't reach out
Don't reach out, don't reach out
Steer away from these rocks, we'd be a walking disaster
Don't reach out, don't reach out
Don't reach out, ...
Been thinking about you
Your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one
And you're my star
What do you care?
Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When the other men are far, far better
All the things you've got

Can you hear them?
The helicopters
I'm in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me
In the eye directly
You met me
I think it's Wednesday
The evening
The mess we're in
And ooh, the city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
Night and day
I dream of
Makin' love
To you now, baby
Love makin' on screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise over the river
The freeway

I was born for your magazines
For your magazines
I am trapped in the society page
Of your magazines
Of your magazines
I don't know what it means
Do you see light at the end of the tunnel?
At the end of the tunnel?
Do you see light at the end of the tunnel?
At the end of the tunnel?
At the end of the tunnel?
I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Just don't leave
Don't leave
I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy-kitten smile
Just don't leave
Don't leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don't leave
Don't leave
Don't leave
Don't leave
come to me for I am a wicked child
????
I am a wicked child
I am a wicked child
I am the devil's son and I wish I could be good
keep you satisfied
I wish I could be good
I wish I could be good
come to me for I am a wicked child
????
I am a wicked child
I am a wicked child
I am a wicked child
I want to be dead ?
I want to be dead ?
I'm stuck in the T.A.R.D.I.S.
Trapped in hyperspace
One minute snake charming
The next in a motorcade
All the right moves in
In the right places
Watch me dance, I'm a puppet
You can almost see the strings
Give me an answer
Give me a line
I've been climbing up this ladder
I've been wasting my time
Up on the ladder
We're all tied to a stake
Up on the ladder
We wait for your mistake
Up on the lad...
I never wanted anything but this
I worked hard, tried hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died hard
Every time you're running out of here
Every time you're running I get the fear
I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face, no home
Your words surround me and I asphyxiate
And I burn all hate
Every time you're running out on me
Every time you're running I can see
I'm not a vegeta...
When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
And I have it all here in red, blue, green
In red, blue, green
You are my center when I spin away
Out of control on videotape, on videotape
On videotape, on videotape, on videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
?Cause I can't do...
Are you hungry?
Are you sick?
Are you begging for a break?
Are you sweet?
Are you fresh?
Are you strung up by the wrists?
We want the young blood
Are you fracturing?
Are you torn at the seams?
Would you do anything?
Flea-bitten, moth-eaten?
We suck young blood
We suck young blood
Won't let the creeping ivy
Won't let the nervous bury me
Our veins are thin
Our rivers poisoned
We want the sweet m...
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantom
I follow to the edge
Of the earth
And fall off
Yeah, everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird f...
There's a gap in between
There's a gap where we meet
Where I end and you begin
And I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end and you begin
4, 5, 6, 7
I am up in the clouds
I am up in the clouds
And I can't, and I can't come down
I can watch and not take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
You left me alone
X will mark the place
...
So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you w...
Don't wanna talk to me
You don't wanna say the word
You're tryin' to get off the hook
Tryin' to get off the hook
Sprawling on a pin
Hanging off a hook
Trying to get yourself away
Trying to get yourself away
There's no use dwelling on
On what might have been
Just think of all the fun
You could be having
We know the way you talk
We know what you want
We know what you want
What you really want
Ta...
I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that I don't have a choice
Anywhere I go
You are always there
Outside the car or in my hair
I think I've been here before
Yes, I've been here before
The last time you locked all the doors
And I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that I don't have a choice
And yes I am wary
Yes, I am
I think I told you once
I think I needed advice
Y...
You are the sun and moon and stars are you
And I could never run away from you
You try at working out chaotic things
And why should I believe myself not you?
It's like the world is going to end so soon
And why should I believe myself?
You me and everything caught in the fire
I can see me drowning, caught in the fire
You me and everything caught in the fire
And I can see me drowning, caught in ...
Come on, come on
You think you drive me crazy
Well come on, come on
You and whose army?
You and your cronies
Come on, come on
Holy Roman Empire
Come on if you think
Come on if you think
You can take us on
You can take us on
You and whose army?
You and your cronies
You forget so easy
We ride tonight
We ride tonight

I must get out once in a while
Everything is starting to die
The dust settles, the worms dig
The spiders crawl over the bed
I must get out once in a while
I eat all day and now I'm fat
Yesterday's meal is hugging the plates
You never wash up after yourself

Airbag / How Am I Driving [EP] |
If I get old
I will not give in
But if I do
Remind me of this
Remind me that
Once I was free
Once I was cool
Once I was me
And if I sat down
And crossed my arms
Hold me into
This song
Knock me out
Smash out my brains
If I take a chair
Start to talk shit
If I get old
Remind me of this
One night we kissed
And I really meant it
Whatever happens

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 ...
Don't forget that you are our son
Now go back to bed
We just know that you'll do well
You won't come to harm
Death to all who stand
In your way, my dear
In a city of the future
It is difficult to concentrate
Meet the boss, meet the wife
Everybody's happy
Everyone is made for life
In a city of the future
It is difficult to find a space
I'm too busy to see you
You're too busy to wait
But I'm okay, how are you?
Thanks for asking, thanks for asking
But I'm okay, how are you?
I hope you're okay too
Every one of those days
When the sky's California ...
How'd you get your teeth so pearly?
Dew-drop dentures, white-washed faces
She runs from the third world pearly
Vanilla
Feel it crawl to me
Milkshakes
Crawl back again
From Hard Rock
Whatever you say
Cafes
Make it go away
That's where
I feel it crawl to me
She got her
Crawl back again
Sweet tooth
Make it go away
For white boys
Whatever you say
She runs from the third world pearly
Hurts me

Go
Tears of Joy
As we scare ourselves
Of all that you want to be
You just got paid and now your going
Outside, You'll freeze
if I get scared I'll just call you
And I'll miss your glow
As I unsettle
Oh but Ill always feel
Where Ill always be
So sell your suit and tie
And come and live with me

So knives out

Shove it in your mouth
If you'd been a dog
They would've drowned you at birth
Look into my eyes

So knives out

Once again, I'm in trouble with my only friend
She is papering the window panes
She is putting on a smile
Living in a glass house
Once again, packed like frozen food and battery hens
Think of all the starving millions
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones
Your royal highnesses

There are barn doors
And there are revolving doors
Doors on the rudders of big ships
And there are revolving doors
There are doors that open by themselves
There are sliding doors
And there are secret doors
There are doors that lock and doors that don't
There are doors that let you in
And out but never open
But there are trapdoors
That you can't come back from
I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little rowboat
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me

Sandbag and hide
January has April's showers
And 2 and 2 always makes a 5
It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now

Payin' attention, payin' attention

And he never leaves, he will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows in the dark
Baby alligators in the sewers
Grow up fast, grow up fast
Anything you want it can be done now
How did you go bad?
Did you go bad? Did you go bad?
Some things will never wash away
Did you go bad? Did you go bad?
I know what you're thinking
But I'm not your property
No matter what you say
No matter what you say

There's nothing left to see
Just a body
Nothing left to see
A couple more for breakfast
A little more for tea
Just to take the edge off

With white elephants, sitting ducks

Holding half a head

Birds thrown around, bullets for hail

I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide
January has April's showers
And 2 and 2 always makes a 5
It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now
Because you have not been payin' attention
Payin' attention, payin' attention

No no, no, no no, no
No no, no, no no, no
No no, no, no no, no
No no, no, no no, no
No no, no, no no, no
I don't know why you bother
Nothing's ever good enough for you
I was there, it wasn't like that
You've come here just to start a fight
You had to piss on our parade
You had to shred our big day
You had to ruin it for all concerned
In a drunken punchup at a wedding, yeah...
Drag ?em out your window, dragging out the dead
Singing I miss you, Snakes and Ladders
Flip the lid, out pops the cracker
Snaps you in the head, knifes you in the neck
Kicks you in the teeth, steel toe caps
Takes all your credit cards, get up, get the gunge
Get the eggs, get the flan in the face
The flan in the face, the flan in the face
Dance you fucker, dance you fucker, don't you dare
Don't...
We're rotten fruit, we're damaged goods
What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifting
There's far but no further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on the brink
Of honey sweet, so fall asleep
I'm backsliding
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
All evidence has b...
Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something big is gonna happen
Over my dead body
Someone's son or someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up sucked in
Over my dead body
I'm gonna go to sleep and let this wash all over me
We don't really want a monster taking over
Tip toe around, tie him down
We don't want the loonies takin' over
Tip toe around, tie him down

I sucked the moon, I spoke too soon
And how much did it cost?
I was dropped from moonbeams
And sailed on shooting stars
Maybe you'll be president
But know right from wrong
Or in the flood you'll build an Ark
And sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon
Sail to the moon
I'm walking out
In a force ten gale
Birds thrown around
Bullets for hail
The roof is pulling off
By its fingernails
Your voice is rapping
On my windowsill
Yesterday's headlines
Blown by the wind
Yesterday's people

Broken branches trip me as I speak

And I can't, and I can't come down
I can watch and not take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
You left me alone
X will mark the place

I Might Be Wrong |
There are better things
To talk about
Be constructive
Bear witness
We can use
Be constructive
With your blues
Even when he turned
The water blue
Even when he turned
The water blue
Oh won't you quiet down?
Why don't you quiet down?
Why don't you quiet down?
Why don't you quiet down?
Quiet down
[Incomprehensible] the neighborhood
Sing songs and you never stay
[Incomprehensible] the neighborhood
...
I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could have sworn I saw a light
Coming home
I used to think
I used to think
There is no future left at all
I used to think
Open up, begin again
Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times
And never look back
Never look back
What would I do?
What would I do
If I did not have you?
Open up and let me in
Let's go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a goo...
While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
A delicate balance
When this just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
Our bodies floating down the muddy river

In Rainbows |
How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string
How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You used to reel me out and then you cut the string
You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue
Did your string ...
This is just a nightmare
Soon I'm gonna wake up
Someone's gonna bring me 'round
Running from the bombers
Hiding in the forest
Running through the fields
Laying flat on the ground
Just like everybody
Stepping over hills
Running from the underground
This is your warning
4 minute warning
I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna know
I just wanna run and hide
This is just a nightmare
But soon I'm gonna...
I'm the next act
Waiting in the wings
I'm an animal
Trapped in your hot car
I am all the days
That you choose to ignore
You are all I need
You?re all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds
I am a moth
Who just wants to share your light
I'm just an insect
Trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you
Because there are no others
You are all I need
You?re all I need
I'...
You bit me, bit me, bit me, ow
You bit me, bit me and I want more
I'm standing in the hall, I'm puking on the wall
It's all heading south to the Conger Hill
The bangers in the mash, the negatives for cash
You're either in the club, baby, or you're not
Whatever turns you on, whatever gets you up
Chief of Police or Vice Chancellor
Lord and Lady blah blah, the vicar and the judge
You're all danci...
I do not understand what it is I've done wrong
Full of holes, check the pulse
Blink your eyes one for yes, two for no
I've no idea what I am talking about
I'm trapped in this body and can't get out
Make a sound, move back home
Get an invitation with the edges sawn off
I have no idea what you are talking about
[Incomprehensible]
Has the light gone out for you
Because the light's gone for me?
It...
Get yourself together
Let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath
Pour yourself a drink
Nothing's gonna happen without warning
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup?
Down is the new up
Is the new up
Won't you be my girl?
Won't you be my girl?
Your services
Are not required
Your future's bleak
You're so last week
Ladies and gentlemen
Without a safety net
I shall now perform a 180 flip-flo...
One, two, three, four
Wakey, wakey, rise and shine
It's on again, off again, on again
Watch me fall like dominos
In pretty patterns
Fingers in the blackbird pie
I'm tingling, tingling, tingling
It's what you feel now
What you ought to, what you ought to
Reasonable and sensible
Dead from the neck up
I guess I'm stuck, stuck, stuck
We thought you had it in you
But no, no, no, for no real reason
...
Oh Maria, come slowly
Come slowly to me
I've been waiting
Patient, patiently
I didn't care but now I can see
That there's a way out
That there's a way out
That there's a way out
That there's a way out
That there's a way out
I don't wanna be your friend
I just wanna be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
And fall off the table, get swept under
Denial, denial
The infrastructure will collapse
Voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your husband goodnight
Forget about your house of cards
An...
Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favorite song
As your blather disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you've had too much
Come back and focus again
The walls abandon shape
You've got a Cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circu...
Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk
And I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Relief
Relief
Belief
But if I?m gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen
'Cause I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me esca...
I've had these jeans since I was born
And now they're ripped and now they're torn
And all my friends have skateboards
I want the toys of other boys
I want a knife and a gun and things
But Mom and Dad will not give in
And I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in
No, I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
And now I know just w...
Reckoner, you can't take it with you
Disavow the pleasure
You were not to blame for
Bittersweet distractors
Dare not speak his name
Dedicated to all you, all your needs
Because we separate
It ripples our reflections
Because we separate
It ripples our reflections
Reckoner
Dedicated to all you, all your needs
I'm stuck in the T.A.R.D.I.S.
Trapped in hyperspace
One minute snake charming
The next in a motorcade
All the right moves in
In the right places
Watch me dance, I'm a puppet
You can almost see the strings
Give me an answer
Give me a line
I've been climbing up this ladder
I've been wasting my time
Up on the ladder
We're all tied to a stake
Up on the ladder
We wait for your mistake
Up on the lad...
When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
And I have it all here in red, blue, green
In red, blue, green
You are my center when I spin away
Out of control on videotape, on videotape
On videotape, on videotape, on videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
?Cause I can't do...
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantom
I follow to the edge
Of the earth
And fall off
Yeah, everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird f...

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get back where I belong

I think you're crazy, maybe
Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
I will see you in the next life
Flies are buzzing ?round my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem, give me some
You can try the best you can
You can try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
You can try the best you can
You can try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
This one's optimistic
This one we...

Everyone around here
Everyone is so near
It's holding on

Everyone
Everyone is so near
Everyone has got the fear

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 ...
I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see your reflection
It's always best when the choir is out
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die
And either way you turn, I'll be there
Open up your skull, I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
It's always best when the light ...
I will stop, I will stop at nothing
Say the right things when electioneering
I trust I can rely on your vote
When I go forwards you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
When I go forwards you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet, ha ha ha
Riot shields, voodoo economics
It's just business, cattle prods and the IMF
I trust I can rely on your votes
When I go forwards you go backwards
And so...
Wake from your sleep
Breathe, keep breathing
You can laugh a spineless laugh
We hope that you choke
Fitter, happier, more productive
Comfortable, not drinking too much
Regular exercise at the gym 3 days a week
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
At ease, eating well
No more microwave dinners and saturated fats
A patient better driver, a safer car, baby smiling in back seat
Sleeping well, no bad dreams, no paranoia
Careful to all animals, never washing spiders down t...

He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio

Her Hitler hairdo
Is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

This is what you'll get
This is what you'll get
When you mess with us

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 ...
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change
Kill me Sarah
Kill me again with love
It's gonna be a glorious day
Pull me out of the air crash
Pull me out of the lake
?Cause I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge
The head of state has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache
With no alarms and no s...
Please could you stop the noise? I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but not an android
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but not an android
When I am king you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but no android
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but no...
The breath of the morning I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
Up above aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets
They're all uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptigh...
It barks at no one else but me
Like it's seen a ghost
I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin'
No one else would know
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down
Sometimes I get overcharged
That's when you see sparks
They ask me where the hell I'm going
At a thousand feet per second
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow down, slow down
Hey man, slow down, slow down
Idiot, slow ...

Destiny, destiny protect me from the world
Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world
Here we are with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere
And if the world does turn and if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I want to be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore
Grow my hair, grow my hair, ...
In my mind
And nailed into my heels
All the time
Killing what I feel
And everything I touch
All wrapped up in cotton wool
All wrapped up and sugar coated
Turns to stone
And everything I touch
All wrapped up in cotton wool
All wrapped up and sugar coated
Turns to stone
I am fused just in case I blow out
I am glued just because I crack out
Everything I touch
Turns to stone
Everything I touch
All...
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?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When ...
He's bitter and twisted
He knows what he wants
He wants to be loved
And he wants to belong
He wants you to listen
He wants us to weep
And he was a stupid baby
Who turned into a powerful freak
But how do you?
How do you?
How do you?
He lives with his mother
But we show him respect
He's a dangerous bigot
But we always forget
And he's just like his daddy
'Cause he cheats on his friends
And he ste...
Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasn't me, it was my strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
And there's nothing in this world will keep it down
And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Soon your things that keep, keep me underground
So many words that I, that I can never find
If you give up on me now

I feel better, I feel better now you've gone
I got better, I got better, I got strong
I feel better, I feel better now there's nothing wrong
I got better, I got better, I got strong
Tell me something, tell me something I don't know
Tell me one thing, tell me one thing, and let it go
I got something, I got something, heaven knows
I got something, I got something, I don't know
I can't afford to breathe in this town
Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
Hooked back up to the cathode ray
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
I want to breathe, I want to grow
I'd say I want it but I don't know how
I work, I bleed, I beg, I pray
But I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Soul destroyed with clever toys for little boys

Been thinking about you
Your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one
And you're my star
What do you care?
Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When the other men are far, far better
All the things you've got
All the things you need

I never wanted anything but this
I worked hard, tried hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died hard
Every time you're running out of here
Every time you're running I get the fear
I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face, no home
Your words surround me and I asphyxiate
And I burn all hate
Every time you're running out on me
Every time you're running I can see
I'm not a vegeta...
You are the sun and moon and stars are you
And I could never run away from you
You try at working out chaotic things
And why should I believe myself not you?
It's like the world is going to end so soon
And why should I believe myself?
You me and everything caught in the fire
I can see me drowning, caught in the fire
You me and everything caught in the fire
And I can see me drowning, caught in ...

I get home from work and
You're still standing in your dressing gown
Well what am I to do?
I know all the things around your head
And what they do to you
What are we coming to?
What are we gonna do?
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite
That beams me home
The troubled words of a troubled mind
I try to understand what is eating you
I try to stay awake ...
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

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?
We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My U...
They love me like I was a brother
They protect me, listen to me
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine, made me happy
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream
I call up my friend, the good angel
But she's out with her answerphone
She says that she would love to come help but
The sea would electrocute us all
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream

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

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...

Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore
Grow my hair, grow my hair, ...
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?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When ...
Kid A, Kid A
Kid A, Kid A
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything in its right place
In its right place
In its right place
In its right place
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Everything
Everything
Everything in its right place
In its right place
In its right place
Right place

Wake from your sleep
Breathe, keep breathing
You can laugh a spineless laugh
We hope that you choke
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...
Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something big is gonna happen
Over my dead body
Someone's son or someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up sucked in
Over my dead body
I'm gonna go to sleep and let this wash all over me
We don't really want a monster taking over
Tip toe around, tie him down
We don't want the loonies takin' over
Tip toe around, tie him down
M...
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 ...
That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm...
I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could have sworn I saw a light
Coming home
I used to think
I used to think
There is no future left at all
I used to think
Open up, begin again
Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times
And never look back
Never look back
What would I do?
What would I do
If I did not have you?
Open up and let me in
Let's go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a goo...
Who's in a bunker?
Who's in a bunker?
Women and children first
And the children first
And the children
I'll laugh until my head comes off
I'll swallow till I burst
Until I burst
Until I
Who's in a bunker?
Who's in a bunker?
I have seen too much
I haven't seen enough
You haven't seen it
I'll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first
And children
Here I'm allowed

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...
Karma police
Arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio
Karma police
Arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo
Is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party
This is what you'll get
This is what you'll get
This is what you'll get
When you mess with us
Karma police
I've given all I can
It's not enough
I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll
Thi...
I want you to know
He's not coming back
Look into my eyes
I'm not coming back
So knives out
Catch the mouse
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth
If you'd been a dog
They would've drowned you at birth
Look into my eyes
It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth
So knives out
Cook him up
Squash his head
Put him in the pot
I want you to know
He's not coming back
He's bloated and frozen...
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 ...
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change
Kill me Sarah
Kill me again with love
It's gonna be a glorious day
Pull me out of the air crash
Pull me out of the lake
?Cause I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge
The head of state has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change
Pull me out of the air cr...
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?
We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My U...
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache
With no alarms and no s...
Flies are buzzing ?round my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem, give me some
You can try the best you can
You can try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
You can try the best you can
You can try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
This one's optimistic
This one we...
Please could you stop the noise? I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but not an android
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but not an android
When I am king you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but no android
What's that?
I may be paranoid, but no...
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...
I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little rowboat
There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the f...
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...
I want to
I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon this surface for the birds
The birds, the birds
You want me?
Fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
You want me?
Well come on and break the door down
You want me?
Fucking come on and break the door down
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
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...
Everyone
Everyone around here
Everyone is so near
It's holding on
It's holding on
Everyone
Everyone is so near
Everyone has got the fear
It's holding on
It's holding on
It's holding on
It's holding on
It's holding on
In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just ?cause you feel it doesn't mean it's there
Just ?cause you feel it doesn't mean it's there
There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck
Don't reach out, don't reach out
Don't reach out, don't reach out
Steer away from these rocks, we'd be a walking disaster
Don't reach out, don't reach out
Don't reach out, ...
I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Just don't leave
Don't leave
I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy-kitten smile
Just don't leave
Don't leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don't leave
Don't leave
Don't leave
Don't leave
You are the sun and moon and stars are you
And I could never run away from you
You try at working out chaotic things
And why should I believe myself not you?
It's like the world is going to end so soon
And why should I believe myself?
You me and everything caught in the fire
I can see me drowning, caught in the fire
You me and everything caught in the fire
And I can see me drowning, caught in ...
