Crucify
|
|
Every finger in the room is pointing at me I wanna spit in their faces Then I get afraid what that could bring I got a bowling ball in my stomach I got a desert in my mouth Figures that my COURAGE would choose to sell out now I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands Drive another nail in Just what GOD needs One more victim Why do we crucify ourselves Every day I crucify myself Nothing I do is good enough for you Crucify myself Every day I crucify myself And my HEART is sick of being in chains Got a kick for a dog beggin' for LOVE I gotta have my suffering So that I can have my cross I know a cat named Easter He says will you ever learn You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands Drive another nail in Got enough GUILT to start My own religion Please be Save me I CRY... |

Girl
|
|
From in the shadow she calls And in the shadow she finds a way finds a way And in the shadow she CRAWLS Clutching her faded photograph my image UNDER her thumb Yes with a message for my heart Yes with a message for my heart She's been everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own And in the doorway they stay And laugh as violins fill with water Screams from the BLUEBELLS can't make them go away We'll I'm not seventeen but I've cuts on my knees Falling down as the winter takes one more CHERRY TREE Rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue and the drugstores too safe in their coats anda in their do's yeah Smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots One day maybe one day one day She'll be her own And in the mist there she rides And castles are burning in my heart And as I twist I hold tight And I ride to work every morning wondering why "Sit in the chair and be good now" and become all that they told you the white coats enter her room and I'm callin' my baby callin' my baby callin' my baby callin' Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own... |

Silent All These Years
|
|
Excuse me but can I be you for a while My DOG won't bite if you sit real still I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again Yeah I can hear that Been saved again by the garbage truck I got something to say you know but NOTHING comes Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up Yeah I can hear that But what if I'm a mermaid In these jeans of his with her name still on it Hey but I don't care Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been HERE silent all these years So you found a girl who thinks really Deep Thoughts What's so amazing about really Deep Thoughts Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon How's that thought for you My scream got lost in a paper cup You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough To get us there Years go by will I still be waiting For somebody else to understand Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty And the orange clouds raining in my head Years go by will I choke on my tears Till finally there is nothing left One more casualty You know we're to EASY easy easy Well I love the way we communicate Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape Let's hear what you think of me now but baby don't look up The sky is falling Your MOTHER shows up in a nasty dress It's your turn now to stand where I stand Everybody lookin' at you here take hold of my hand Yeah I can hear them... |

Precious Things
|
|
So I ran faster But it caught me here Yes my loyalties turned Like my ankle In the seventh grade Running after BILLY Running after the rain These precious things Let them bleed Let them wash away These precious things Let them break their hold over me He said you're really an ugly girl But I like the way you play And I died But I thanked him Can you believe that sick Holding on to his picture Dressing up every day I wanna smash the faces Of those beautiful BOYS Those christian boys So you can make me cum that doesn't make you Jesus I remember Yes in my peach party dress No one dared No one cared To tell me where the pretty girls are Those demigods With their NINE-INCH nails And little fascist panties tucked inside the heart of every nice girl... |

Winter
|
|
Snow can wait I forgot my mittens Wipe my nose Get my new boots on I get a little warm in my heart When I think of winter I put my hand in my father's glove I run off where the DRIFTS GET DEEPER Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown I hear a voice "You must learn to stand up for yourself Cause I can't always be around" He says When you gonna make up your mind When you gonna love you as much as I do When you gonna make up your mind Cause things are gonna CHANGE so fast All the white horses are still in bed I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change my dear Boys get discovered as winter MELTS Flowers competing for the sun Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace But I only can see myself SKATING around the truth who I am But I know dad the ice is getting thin Hair is grey and the fires are burning So many dreams on the shelf You say I wanted you to be PROUD of me I always wanted that myself When you gonna make up your mind When you gonna love you as much as I do When you gonna make up your mind Cause things are gonna change so fast All the WHITE HORSES have gone ahead I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change my dear... |

Happy Phantom
|
|
And if I die today I'll be the HAPPY Phantom And I'll go chasin' the nuns out in the yard And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on And I will never need umbrellas in the rain I'll wake up in strawberry fields every day And the atrocities of school I can forgive The HAPPY phantom has no right to bitch Oo who the time is getting close Oo who time to be a ghost Oo who every day we're getting closer The sun is getting dim Will we pay for who we been So if I die today I'll be the HAPPY phantom And I'll go wearin' my NAUGHTIES like a jewel They'll be my ticket to the universal opera There's Judy Garland taking Buddha by the hand And then these seven little men get up to dance they say Confucius does his crossword with a pen I'm still the angel to a girl who hates to SIN Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back You found a girl that you could TRULY love again Will you still call for me when she falls asleep Or do we soon forget the things we cannot see... |

China
|
|
China all the way to New York I can feel the distance getting close You're right next to me But I need an airplane I can feel the DISTANCE as you breathe Sometimes I think you want me to touch you How can I when you build a great WALL around you In your eyes I saw a future together You just look away in the distance China decorates our table Funny how the CRACKS don't seem to show Pour the wine dear You say we'll take a holiday But we never can agree on where to go China all the way to New York Maybe you got lost in MEXICO You're right next to me I think that you can hear me Funny how the distance learns to grow I can feel the distance I can feel the distance I can feel the distance getting close... |

Leather
|
|
Look I'm standing naked before you Don't you want more than my sex I can scream as loud as your last one But I can't claim innocence Oh god could it be the weather Oh god why am I here If love isn't forever And it's NOT THE WEATHER Hand me my leather I could just pretend that you love me The night would lose all sense of fear But why do I need you to love me When you can't hold what I hold dear I almost ran over an angel He had a nice big fat cigar "IN A SENSE" he said "you're alone here So if you jump you best jump far"... |

Mother

Go go go go now Out of the nest it's time Go go go now Circus girl without a safety net Here here here now don't cry You raised your hand for the assignment Tuck those ribbons under your helmet Be a good soldier First my left foot then my right behind the OTHER Pantyhose running in the cold Mother the car is here Somebody leave the light on Green limosine for the redhead DANCING dancing girl And when I dance for him Somebody leave the light on Just in just in case I like the dancing I can remember where I come from I walked into your dream And now I've forgotten how to dream my own dream You are the CLEVER one aren't you Brides in veils for you We told you all of our secrets All but one And don't you even try The phone has been disconnected Dripping with blood and with time and with your advice Poison me against the MOON I escape into your escape into our very favorite fearscape It's across the sky and across my heart and I cross my legs oh my god First my left foot then my right behind the other Breadcrumbs lost under the snow... |

Tear in Your Hand
|
|
All the world just stopped now So you say you don't wanna stay together anymore Let me take a deep breath babe If you need me, me and neil'll be hangin' out with the DREAM KING Neil says hi by the way I don't believe you're leaving cause me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream I think it's that girl and I think there're pieces of me you've never seen Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen well All the world is all I am The black of the blackest ocean And that tear in your hand All the world is DANGLIN'... danglin'... danglin' for me DARLIN' You don't know the power that you have With that tear in your hand That tear in your hand Maybe I ain't used to maybes smashing in a cold room cutting my hands up every time I touch you Maybe maybe it's time to wave goodbye now Time to wave goodbye now Caught a ride with the moon I know I know you well well better than I used to HAZE all clouded up my mind In the DAZE of the why it could've never been So you say and I say you know you're full of wish And your "baby baby baby babies" I tell you there're pieces of me you've never seen Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen well... |

Me and a Gun
|
|
5am friday morning thursday night far from sleep I'm still up and driving can't go home obviously So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live And I wanna live Got a full tank and some chips It was me and a gun and a man on my back And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants Me and a gun and a man on my back But I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this Yes I wore a slinky red thing Does that mean I should spread for you, your friends Your father, Mr Ed And I know what this means Me and Jesus a few years back used to hang And he said "it's your choice babe just remember I don't think you'll be back in 3 days time so you choose well" Tell me what's right Is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's Seville And do you know CAROLINA Where the biscuits are soft and sweet These things go through your head when there's a man on your back And you're pushed flat on your stomach it's not a classic Caddilac... |

Little Earthquakes
|
|
Yellow bird flying gets shot in the wing Good year for hunters and Christmas parties And I hate and I hate and I hate And I hate elevator music The way we fight The way I'm left here silent Oh these little earthquakes Here we go again These little earthquakes Doesn't take much to RIP us into pieces We danced in graveyards with vampires till dawn We laughed in the faces of king never afraid to burn and I hate and I hate and I hate and I hate disintegration Watching us wither Black winged roses that safely changed their COLOR I can't reach you I can't reach you Give me life Give me pain Give me myself again... |
