Used thread instead of nails.\nYour autograph was carved across your back.\nWe thought that you were done, but then you grabbed your gun.\nYou pushed and barked and ran full speed ahead.\nYou tore over the hill. We cannot find you still.\nWe hit the lights and hoped that you’d be dead.\nNo one knows you don’t take off your clothes.\nWe hope we’ll get to see you fall through the canopy.\nWith a stomach full of blood, you’ll find the ground,.\nWe Light Up\nI got my camera, I’m gonna take your picture tonight,\nand you can see what you look like.\nYou got your camera, you’re gonna take my picture tonight,\nand I can see what I look like too,\nwith you, who knew that we’d look so good beaten black and blue.\nYou got your hair tied back and your fur coat on.\nYou call your girlfriends up and then we’re gone.\nWe gonna meet down the street and we’re drinking for free,\nwe pinky shake as you order your martini.\nOne last round and away we go, we run a little bit late, but make the show.\nThey were getting pretty friendly in the back of the car.\nWe gotta fight that crowd to reach that bar.\nWe’re gonna rage in the city all night long.\nWe’re gonna rage in the city all night long.\nYour discotheque won’t play my song.\nWe’re gonna rage in the city all night long.\nI got my camera, I’m gonna take your picture tonight,\nand you can see what you look like.\nYou got your camera, you’re gonna take my picture tonight,\nand I can see what I look like too,\nwith you, who knew that we’d look so good beaten black and blue.\nWell the band goes on, but we digress.\nWe gotta take the back stairs for roof access.\nWe can hear the city scream as we yell from the top.\nIt’s 12:19 and we won’t stop.\nLate night lurks are underground.\nDownstairs snares and ugly sounds.\nI’m gonna make a proposition that I know you’re about.\nWe’re going back to your place to act it out.\nAnd then we’ll rage in the city all night long.\nWe’re gonna rage in the city all night long.\nYour discotheque won’t play my song.\nWe’re gonna rage in the city all night long.\nThe bridge, the tower, the top of the roof.\nWe light up the night and we’re taking it to.\nHouse to house, and mouth to mouth.\nThe fire escapes we shake where the sky scrapes.\nThe flights rise, and they collide. Tonight we will not be denied.\nI could see that you were trouble from the moment we met,\nbut sometimes I’ve gotta live out what I’m gonna regret.\nWe’re gonna rage in the city all night long.\nWe’re

stables red and the fire black\nWe watch the white horse run\nWhite horse ride from the cell in it’s cellar\nGonna get inside\nRead the face on the shitter right between the ears\nAs his holes don’t close when he’s spitting spears\nThere’s an eye of a liar on the other side\nAnd a hole through the chest of the one that died\nI want you to\nYou giveth away because\nI want you to\nYou taketh away because\nI want you to\nYou kiss on the lips because\nI want you to\nI want you to\nKill a few, kill a dozen, kill another’s kin\nHe’s rapping on the pane of the window again\nHe’s got a blade for a tongue and there’s snakes for eyes\nAnd his hand’s on the handles of a hundred knives\nAnd if they don’t fall down you can watch them run\nWith two bullets in your pocket and a rusty gun\nWe going three by three to the mountain top\nTo throw that son of a bitch right off the highest drop\nI want you to\nYou open your mouth because\nI want you to\nYou dance on my heart because\nI want you to\nYou choke on your words because\nI want you to\nI want you to\nThe devil won’t take my place\nI need to touch your pretty face\nHe don’t know your name\nBut you’re all pretty much the same\nYou wanna be my frown?\nI can promise that you’ll be let down\nYou’re a whirling dervish\nA prude to purchase\nAfraid to surface and serve this\nOh baby\nI want you to\nYou pull out the plug because\nI want you to\nYou stick in my guts because\nI want you to\nYou pray on your knees because\nI want you to\nI want you to\nI want you to\nYou giveth away because\nI want you to\nYou taketh away

the water spills\nThere’s a line up the spine of the girl in black\nAnd it rips through her dress at the small of her back\nShe’s been waiting there to take you through that door\nSo you can lay her down on the cavern floor\nAnd you’ll see the same flame burning in her eyes\nAs you smear your stink across her inner thighs\nYou couldn’t leave well enough alone\nYou hold your heart like it’s made out of stone\nYou couldn’t leave well enough alone\nAlone alone alone\nShe slithers through the snow like a snake but she’s still\nAnd she come’s floating through the window without touching the sill\nShe prefers to make an entrance without using the door\nAnd she’ll be standing on your bed before she crosses the floor\nShe’s a will-of-the-wisp as she’s swinging her hips\nHer breath is like a worm spinning silk from her lips\nAnd tonight spook lights will be seen from your room\nAnd you and her and Jack and I are swimming in gloom\nYou couldn’t leave well enough alone\nYou hold your heart like it’s made out of stone\nYou couldn’t leave well enough alone\nAlone alone alone\nThe Colour Escapes\nCome on baby lemme give you a name\nAnd we’ll see if you can find a purpose\nThese faces all look the same\nAnd I can guarantee they’re worthless\nSome souls are bought and sold\nThey fold beneath the surface\nWe cannot take their hands\nThey’ll hold their gold and curse us\nThe colour escapes, you know\nYou’ve seen my heart and it’s black as coal\nIt’s not the one that I wanted to show\nYou were built like a light on a stilt\nAnd I can see you wilt in silence\nPeople stand around waiting for signs\nThey become blind to your vibrance\nThey don’t look, put their faith in a book\nThe end result is violence\nMind you, that bliss it sits on shit\nIt sits on mindlessness\nThe colour escapes, you know\nYou’ve seen my heart and it’s black as coal\nIt’s not the one that I wanted to show\nTiger By The Tail\nI see, look across the way there\nLike flame, giving me the same stare\nEyes locked\nExhibits A and B\nYou draw a line\nCutting through the air and\nConnect\nMaking us a pair then\nIt’s my hope to get burned\nDon’t you see?\nBig kitty cats don’t lick no paws\nAnd little kitty cats don’t show no claws\nBig kitty cats don’t lick no paws\nAnd little kitty cats don’t show no claws\nI got a tiger by the tail\nAnd I’m gonna give it a little kick\nAnd then a big kiss\nIt’s not safe down on the ground, no\nThey keep circling around, yeah\nYou better learn to climb a tree\nIt’s not safe\nNot where we at, no\nYou had better get yourself a bat and\nStart swinging away at anything you see\nI got a tiger by the tail\nAnd I’m gonna give it a little kick\nAnd then a big kiss\nYour Head Will Be Rotting On A Spike\nYour head will be rotting on a spike\nI don’t complain much but I might\nYour life’s on a loop just like before\nYou stuff your face and still want more\nMy head may be rotting on a spike\nI don’t complain much but I might\nGiven the time it’s not the time to make an enemy\nAnd you will stop seeing\nGive us some time and try to wind up all the ends you find\nThere’s no end to be seen\nNow that you’re blind they’re not so kind, not so accepting now\nThat you are not breeding\nBring all you have and all you had, give all you got\nOr stop\nOur heads they are rotting on their spikes\nWe can’t complain, we lost our sight\nAs useless as we were before\nWe stuff our face, but we are sure\nWe are sore\nGiven the time it’s not the time to make an enemy\nAnd you will stop seeing\nGive us some time and try to wind up all the ends you find\nThere’s no end to be seen\nNow that you’re blind they’re not so kind, not so accepting now\nThat you are not breeding\nBring all you have and all you had, give all you got\nOr stop\nTorch From The Sky\nDid you hear as she called\nAs her voice came down the hall\nHow it trembled as soft as a little girl?\nTowards the knock on the door\nI watched you glide across the floor\nAs you answered a hundred voices spoke\nWe will crawl through the mud\nThey will bathe in their own blood\nWe will take them like a splinter from an eye\nAnd we come in the night\nWe are made of blackest light\nLike a torch falling fast out of the sky\nThere’s no fat in this land\nThe old heart has left it’s hand\nSo let’s sit and watch the distant fires glow\nWe will steal what we could\nWe are through being good\nWe will only be the sum of what you know\nDid you hear the awful sound\nAs they pushed into the town?\nI could tell the switch had flipped inside your head\nThere’s no love left to give\nWe can’t hide, we can’t live\nWe are holding hands and walking with the dead\nYou can take me home\nBut I can’t be alone\nI can’t be alone\nDid you hear as she called\nAs her voice came down the hall\nHow it trembled as soft as a little girl?\nTowards the knock on the door\nI watched you glide across the floor\nAs you answered a hundred voices spoke\nWe will crawl through the mud\nThey will bathe in their own blood\nWe will take them like a splinter from an eye\nAnd we come in the night\nWe are made of blackest light\nLike a torch falling fast out of the sky\nLike a torch falling fast out of the sky\nLike a torch falling fast out of the sky\nLike a torch falling fast out of the sky\nBecause Of You\nBecause of you\nI’ve searched\nThe back streets to the shore\nThe river banks\nNo thanks\nIt won’t feel like before\nBecause of this\nI fish for little bits of time\nI memorized your thoughts\nAnd turned them into mine\nI thought I’d let you know\nI won’t be letting go\nI won’t be turning cheek\nI won’t be swallowing\nI thought I’d let you know\nI won’t be letting go\nI won’t be turning cheek\nI won’t be suffering\nBecause of you\nI waste\nThe life I thought I made\nI throw away what’s warm\nThe colour starts to fade\nBecause it seems\nI dream\nOf being somewhere else\nI try to find that place\nAnd end up by myself\nI thought I’d let you know\nI won’t be letting go\nI won’t be turning cheek\nI won’t be swallowing\nI thought I’d let you know\nI won’t be letting go\nI won’t be turning cheek\nI won’t be suffering\nSplayed\nWhen you die I’m gonna roll around and laugh on the floor\nI’ll party like we never had a party before\nWhen you fall I’m gonna be there just to raise up a glass\nAll dreams fulfilled of putting boots in your ass\nYou know there’s something inside me\nLike an animal that’s gotta get out\nYou know there’s something inside me\nThat makes me wanna put my fist in your mouth\nWhen I die I’m gonna come back and haunt you for fun\nSlam doors, move books, make you pee while you run\nWhen I’m done I’m gonna celebrate my ghostly success\nWith my invisible penis watching ladies undress\nYou know there’s something inside me\nLike an animal that’s gotta get out\nYou know there’s something inside me\nBut it’s not me\nYou know there’s something inside me\nLike an animal that’s gotta get out\nYou know there’s something inside me\nThat makes me wanna put my fist in your mouth\nBut it’s not me\nScream Hallelujah\nNow things have turned for the worse\nThought I was so well rehearsed\nI guess I’m probably cursed\nI just don’t know\nI beat my head on the wall\nI’m trying not to recall\nThe inevitable fall\nAnd so it goes\nI’m struck so shockingly dumb\nI know now I can become\nThe definition of numb\nAnd you can too\nSo let’s all pull out our teeth\nAnd go to sleep like good sheep\nLet’s watch our TVs and weep\nOh yes\nYou better Scream Hallelujah\nScream Hallelujah\nYou better Scream Hallelujah\nHallelujah\nNow get the fuck back in line\nAnd pay your taxes on time\nAnd lay around like you’re swine\nThere is no doubt\nYou live your life on the screen\nAnd talk about what you’ve seen\nA vicarious dream\nYou won’t live out\nThey put the rails in your head\nAnd as you travel you’re led\nYou can’t control what you’re fed\nBut you won’t gag\nSo lock your yourself up indoors\nIgnorant media whores\nBefore you’re gasping in your plastic bag\nYou better Scream Hallelujah\nScream Hallelujah\nYou better Scream Hallelujah\nHallelujah\nI don’t want you to go it alone\nSo I left a little seed and it’s grown\nBut somehow you don’t seem\nLike one for watering\nI’ll never ask you why\nBut these little things, they die\nYou better Scream Hallelujah\nScream Hallelujah\nYou better Scream Hallelujah\nHallelujah\nBakelite\nBlood is wrong\nBut always on the corner of the tabletop\nA bag of bones that sits and smokes\nAnd laughs at all your stupid jokes\nIt’s such a fuss to fall for love\nNot fall in love\nTo fall\nA drug\nSo smug at first\nThen learns the thirst\nGets worse and worse\nAnd all your new found\nHope is gone\nBut all along\nIt always was\nThe same old song\nAnd dance for now\nYou dance so proud\nYou sing so loud\nYou break apart\nA work of\nI hate myself so full of shits\nA giggle fit\nFor wasting time\nAnd passing by\nI settle down\nInto a frown\nSo many years\nOf wearing down\nAnd out of this\nIt’s ludicrous to amputate\nA simple wish because it sits\nJust right outside appropriate\nAnd your\nHope is gone\nBut all along\nIt always was\nThe same old song\nAnd dance for now\nYou dance so proud\nYou sing so loud\nYou break apart\nA work of art\nBurn The World\nWhere are we?\nWhere are we?\nWe are searching endlessly\nI got only one night left\nI’m never going to bed\nAnd where is she?\nNot free\nBrain chained\nLock and key\nShe got-\nA little fever\nBut it’s killing my head\nI thought I burned the world\nAround me down but now\nThe sound is clearly calling us\nRight back to watch them wind it up\nI thought you burned the world\nAround you down but now\nThe sound is clearly calling us\nRight back to watch them wind it up again\nWe fall\nWe break\nIt seems real but it’s all fake\nIt’s on the television\nIt’s your decision\nYou walk away with weights on\nAnd you’re gonna sink\nYou’re extinct\nIn your hole\nThey say you’ve lost your soul\nI know the grass won’t grow\nSo slick, you slipped\nBut you slid too slow\nYou know\nI thought I burned the world\nAround me down but now\nThe sound is clearly calling us\nRight back to watch them wind it up\nI thought you burned the world\nAround you down but now\nThe sound is clearly calling us\nRight back to watch them wind it up again\nGrinning Like A Slit\nYou can look to the mountain\nYou can talk to the dead\nYou can run to the city lights\nBut it’s all in your head\nYou can look to a stranger\nBut all you’ll find is a wall\nYou can wish all you want\nBut no one answers at all\nGoodbyes\nThey are flies\nThat rise from shit\nAnd I was skinning\nA new beginning\nWhile you were grinning\nLike a slit\nYou can try not to cry out\nAs you wake in the night\nYou can stare at the blackness\nBut it’s taken your sight\nYou imagine a face there\nThat you can almost touch\nYou can reach all you want\nBut it’s only a crutch\nGoodbyes\nThey are flies\nThat rise from shit\nAnd I was skinning\nA new beginning\nWhile you were grinning\nLike a slit\nWhere are you now?\nWhere is the crowd?\nThese sleeping streets\nAre speaking aloud\nAnd I couldn’t recall\nThe feeling at all\nThe moment I realized I was going to fall
