Pretty Lush

I draw them on wreckless,
Etched in,
Scratched in like resurrection.
Your sins are killing you, you bet they'll get me too.
I've got to give some to get some.

Mining in the river standing in the rain.
Down on your knees while you heave that through your brain.

You can lead a whore to water and you can bet she'll drink and follow orders.
And I said, "Is this what you wanted?"
"Is this what you needed?"
Give it some more time.

Tonight I'm going to a party, but it's already started without me.
I aced philosophy and mastered the art of spiritual phase.
I've got to give some to get some.

The disco ball spins away another year.
I wish you a broken heart and a happy new year.

You can lead a whore to water and you can bet she'll drink and follow orders.
And I said, "Is this what you wanted?"
Huh?
"Is this what you needed?"
Give it some more time.
Some more time.
Yugh.

Ooh.. Restrain.
Where would you fear would you be?
How the fuck can I please and then clean?

Only three words come to mind [true till death].
Pray when you did what you said.
Death makes you kneel at the great.
All I had to say I did say.
When all you do is scream at the drain.
You F- ugh.

You can lead a whore to water and you can bet she'll drink and follow orders.
And I said, "Is this what you wanted?"
Cunt,"Is this what you needed?"
Give it some more time

Siberian Kiss

Give me back my pictures of me.
Me, you and him makes three.
It figures the wheezing will measure your rate of depress,
And i hope you know.
Like a bitch in heat,
I hope she know.

So put another penny in and turn the crank until the frames cease to move .
And the movie turns into a photo..
A photo the size of a kiss, I hope she knows.

(screaming)

Staring at this parisian sex flick where the characters don't meet,
The characters don't speak
The characters are like mirrors facing mirrors:
Space always expanding.
So put another coin in and turn the crank,
Until the frames cease to move.
And the movie turns into a photo..
a photo the size of my fist, I hope she knows.

A hiccup in paradise,
I keep you jealously to myself.
In photos the size of a kiss,
A kiss in the shape of a bullet.

On phone lines and a letterhead I'm dying about. I'm dying about.
(x2)

I've watched you whore yourself for one more thing.
Why don't you sell yourself for one more?
There's always one more thing.
Why don't you sell yourself?
If I can't have you no one will!

Pushing a lover to love another.
Are you turned on?
Are you turned on?
(x2)

A hiccup in paradise
I keep you jealously to myself,
In a photo the size of a kiss
A kiss in the shape of a bullet.

On phone lines and a letterhead
I'm dying about. I'm dying about.
(x2)

A hiccup in paradise,
I keep you jealously to myself.
in a photo the size of a kiss,
a kiss in the shape of a bullet.

I keep you jealously to myself. (x4)

A kiss in the shape of a bullet

When One Eight Becomes Two Zeros

I'm glad that you're near
I'm sad when you're here
This is what it's like to be me
I'm glad that you're here
I'm sad that you're near
This is what it's like to die alone.

This all hurts me so much
That I honestly believe
You're the one this is hard for
Iv'e barterd tact for wit
And I've already made up
A billion stories about you.

Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up
we're breaking up
I guess we're breaking up
You're not the other one
You're just another
Another hobby for a guy like me.

i'm glad when your hear,
i'm sad when your near
this is what its liketo be me

You've given me a heart like a gun
And I'm so shocked that I made it through
These billion days.
i made it threw these billion days
I didn't think I could tough it out for those days
i didnt think i could tough it out A billion.

Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up
we're breaking up
I guess we're breaking up
You're not the other one
You're just another
Another hobby for a guy like me.

So we're growing?
I'm sure
There's no other I can turn to
There's no other I can turn to
If not you, then Who else can I belive???

Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up
We're breaking up
I guess we're breaking up
You're not the other woman
You're just another(woman)
Another hobby for a guy like me.

i'm glad when your near
i'm sad when your here
this is what its like to be me
say
i'm glad when your near
i'm sad that your here
this is what its like to be me (x2)

i'm glad thats your near
i'm sad that your here
I hope you enjoy dying alone

Ry Ry's Song

There's a woman sitting in a motel room counting minutes
and she's adding to her list of, "one hour loves."
She's tired and the new will do, she'll replace the body,
his friends are good for bang-bang! An amiable hobby.
she's got a secret.
Just keep it and sleep with it.
and he can't believe a thing you've said.
"We're going nowhere" n' "fair is fair."
and he cant believe a damn thing you say,
"We're going nowhere" and "fair is fair."

The way you play with lives is such a big disguise we swear that,
we're not gonna' take it.
The way you play with lives is such a big disguise we swear,
we're not running naked.

There's a man who's sitting in a motel waiting for a hooker
that he never applied for, is it even her?
and he cant believe a damn thing you say,
"We're going nowhere" and "fair is fair."

The way you play with lives is such a big disguise we swear that,
we're not gonna' take it, no more
The way you fucked his life is such a big disguise we swear,
we're not running naked.

Just when it's perfect,
It's finite, he calls it.
she said "it's over, it's over..so long."
Just when it's perfect,
It's finite, he calls it.
she said "it's over, it's over. so long"

The way you play with lives is such a big disguise we swear
that, it's over, it's over, it's over
The way you fucked his life is such a big disguise we swear,
we're not running naked.

he would stay forever just to say he saw you leave,
and maybe things wouldn't be this way
he would stay forever just to say he saw you on your knees.

I burn the lamp, when I burn, when,
I do I do everything I do for you,
But he hates you, hates you,
And I guess it's nothing new for you.

Lovebites And Razorlines

"Who you fucking now?" I use my slit wrist to sign my name
with and when you can't compete with the Joneses,
Gun em' all down (even the father).
You filthy whore.
Shut up and swallow my pride for me.
Move closer or drive further Suck on the end of this dick that cums lead,
but first I'm coming after you all.
It's ladies night at the bar but she smokes a mans' cigar.
I guess she's dying.
oh well.
I don't give a fuck about your dignity.
That's the bastard in me.
I know a girl who sells herself around and
I'm sure one day she'll sign autographs in your town.
Looking back into my diary, what makes me say those things?
What causes my laughter at another's disaster? it's the bastard in me.
You live in shit and you will eat your own way out.
I am too fly and shy.
Like no other guy.
Too fly and shy just for you.
I'll mark you all.

Hurting And Shoving (She Should Have Let Me Sleep)

When I get back
Pre-break of dawn
hear the ring it's me
live from a pay phone
talking in the rain.
Things pan out exactly as i say they will.
Will I be less happy
when I get back?

Two hand in one glove
as if we were poor.
The hard up make the soup from stones
like the poor before them did before.

You say the waiting could crush your heart.

But it's nothing new to me
have you crave me so desperately
but I know
how when you need me you bleed for me,
though now I'm gone you fill my shoes with new
fans.
Always and forever
we are apart and may she see
she'd be free rejoicing in distance
if she only let me sleep.

Will things make less happy
when I get back?

Absence makes the heart grow still.
Abuse the hunt; confuse the kill.
I know, I know.

Make the dead feel deader
deader.
Make the dead sleep nights with a razor
waiting.
Kill the prey.

I'll hold my child's head underwater.
If it's a boy, I was joking
if it's a daughter, I'll say I did what I did
because I had to...
And if you find my kid later
tell her I laughed too.

We just might work out fine
because I love you enough
to let you give the pain that I want
...And when you do
I just might fuck you
enough to love you.
Once upon my night stand
lied letters piled in columns
postmarked Middle Island
out east in the country of Solemn.

Majour

You only get one taste..
For this gift, we are graced
You only get one taste
And for this gift,
For this gift,
For this gift,
Wait...
Wait...

Now let me go
So I can brag about this gift that he stole
For all my lonely nights
I will carry this girl with me where I go

Bad taste in my mouth
You would think I'm a whore
Bad taste in my mouth
You would think I'm..
You would think I'm..

You only get one taste
And for this gift fuck we are graced
(I said that) You only get one taste
I said and for this gift
And for this gift

She's likely to go
Or so she'll say
That we sleep as we do to keep our night's days away

I said love
Or so she'll say
Immature love
You breed immature love

So died the virgin
I have told you before

You're nothing special to him
And that's nothing new for
Nothing new for you
Nothing new for you

You'll be born
You before

Embody me
With your body
I've never seen it
I have never
Embody me
With your body
I've never seen it
I have never

Embody me
With your body
I've never seen it
I have never
You embody me
With your body
I've never seen it
Are you happy?

Her Middle Name Was Boom

She cured the plague of the holy child.
And all the while, she just walked in.
And "boom" she said,
in her room with her red fingernails
and a grip on the answers.

When it's home..
and I'm broken, let's fix.
When it's home..
and I'm swollen, let's kiss.
When it's home..
and we're walking, she'll lead.
If she's waiting, we'll leave.
I'm so gracious I got you here.

If you touch it, it's cold.
If you drop it, it breaks.
If you hug it, it shakes.
Hold and it shakes.
Cuz "Boom!" she said. Boom... she's dead.

When it's home..
and I'm broken, let's fix.
When it's home..
and I'm swollen, let's kiss.
When it's home..
and we're walking, she'll lead.
If she's waiting, we'll leave.
I'm so gracious.

(screams)

Have we fucked all the while?
Let me be alone.

And all the while...
(x2)
Said all the while...
(x5)

Piano

Three times alone this week, I was supposed to be a rock star.
"I only beat you when I'm drunk, you're only pretty when you're crying."
We are suppose to be the ones who set the air afire.
Three times alone this week, I was made into a liar.

Whether I found the gold, I never told.
Richer: I.
the brilliant white.
I.

I wear shoes that move men from deserts to riches.
Give me what you got, girl, and scratch it cuz it itches.
Call me "Chameleon" and set this air afire.
Three times alone this week, I was suppose to be a liar.

Whether I found the gold, I never told.
Richer: I.
brilliant white.
I.

..Maybe not.
Why the stare?
Would I lie about that which I am scared?
What did I say to you?
Step into,
A pot of gold.
Rejoice in fire that which soon burns cold.
What did I say to you?
(x2)

Step into,
A pot of gold,
Rejoice in fire
That which soon burns gold.
What did I say to you?

And I can't deny it..
The love, the throat, sincerity.
(Woo!)
And I can't deny it..
"I gotta keep my P.M.A."

Cuz I, I learned to lie.
I tell you that I,
Don't you realize that I silence it?
It's that fuckin' hard.

Babe

I exude light and wash my hands of you.
By larger beings devoured, leaving only me to improve.
Weep.
Don't fucking weep.
You weak eyes cry tears of the meek.
Weep.
Catch up with the sheep.
It's a sacrilegious ceremony.
New flavor of the week.
Nothing's sacred in the faces of the soulless (that you're made into).
You're raptured by a guilty stifle down.
"...And what I'll do is mess you up and lie to you."
Look at you, you know it's true.
It's a field trip to Hollywood Babylon But I'm Not Coming.
No.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence

That burning feeling.
red liquids.
Clear liquids.
Blessed are the sick.
Children shiver in the river.
Where is our God now?
Does he watch over all in El Segundo?
He don't lie when he say, "under."
I'm wasting away.
I find time to pine.
When pining away my time.
Within sin with no redemption we will find our souls and
the shells they're kept in all wasted away.
Blessed are the sick in me.
The prey, the thrill, the chill and we are martyrs that crumble on time.
Predestination.
We'll stop upon dimes.
And he constructed us all in El Segundo, as the shivering children prayed.
Demons in, demons out.
Cry for dawn.
Gratis.
Bored.
I'm the matador of the children's ward.
Beggars wed choosers.
Red sheets.
Bed sheets.
Boozers.
I'm the head fan.
Blessed be my bed pan.
It's a cold, having just been mugged feeling.
In the sun I've got this for you it's under my fingernails.
I brought this for you.
It's typically Sunday.
I'm digging a hole.

Motel Of The White Locust

Welcome to hollywood girl
Wake the fuck up to hollywood whore

My dance has passed

Combine the throb within my head
Within the rhythm of my fucking feet
Say a novena for all those lost
And read the bloodstains on the sheets
I've whored myself for less than this
And I've prayed to appear to fed
As I knelt on my pillow god
I clenched my fucking fists and banged my head

Who could ever, who the fuck could ever take the place of me?

Now I kiss up to god my fists
And I pray to keep my head
Though I like your pretty eyes better blackened
And my fists all fucking red
Through sickness and health
I've kissed up to god two years
I have focused on the cameos made by the tiger
In the valley of the fucking locust

Wipe it off your mouth
Get up off your knees
And make me your god

It's sexual debauchery you fucking cunt
You cost what you're worth

Followed by a boy like this
Re-ignited by all your visits
As long as your mouth is shut
You'll still be fucking beautiful

pack your shit and leave and take my memories of her with you
