SLASHSLASHSLASHSS
Been There LatelyHave
seen them raise an eye, I'm comin' home
Seedy and crawlin', seven years
or more Now you know where I'm goin' A beautiful shade of blue and pale
A colour you bought at a junkie's yard sale Stop your cryin', stop your
cryin' Well I'm lazy now-the summer crazy farm is all I own with... My
motor, my thrills, I needed my space My prison, my drugs, let's go to my
place Ain't been there lately Ain't been there lately Ain't been there
lately-there's no room Well I sacrificed the all the people That were killin'
me and since gone away Three of them murdered, two livin' Now even God's
gone, not much left to say If there's a day you wanna come by Everybody
knows I'll just be sittin' here Drop on by now, let's get high now The
reverend reminded me your redemption can be paid with... My motor, my thrills,
I needed my space My prison, my drugs, let's go to my place
Ain't been there lately Ain't
been there lately Ain't been there lately-there's no room Ain't been there
lately Ain't been there lately
Ain't been there lately Ain't
been there lately, lately
Just Like AnythingCaptain
Jack was a suicide pimp with a nonstop nosebleed Fell in love with a church
choir tramp Found out she was a drag queen Crown him the Hollywood kid
Spent his time in another man's bed Does anybody care He said-he said Jimmy
Jaw took a ten story dive, about sixteen thousand feet I watched the body
go splat and they scraped him off the street Now he's a Hollywood kid tryin'
to fly They found him dead Was anybody there He said-he said Stars laid
out on the Hollywood Squares Going 'round and 'round like musical chairs
But be ready to rumble Be ready to fight, if you wanna live through the
boulevard night Get ready for problems, get ready for pain If you wanna
play the L.A. game Where you got to hustle and nothing is fair Be a chalk
outline on a Hollywood Square Lady Faye back in '52 was a fiend for fame
Not a lick of talent, paid dues, got fucked by John Wayne Crown her the
Hollywood queen, she gives head in every scene Did anybody stare She said-she
said Stars laid out on the Hollywood Squares Going 'round and 'round like
musical chairs But be ready to rumble Be ready to fight, if you wanna live
through the boulevard night Get ready for problems, get ready for pain
If you wanna play the L.A. game Where you got to hustle and nothing is
fair Be a chalk outline on a Hollywood Square
ShineYou
turn me on like some midnight show, I'm so damn strung You burn me out,
red line overload, then watch me blow Well I've been waiting hypnotized,
down on your floor You can't save me You don't have Adam and Eve to kick
around anymore They really do write the song They want everybody to...
Shine, they want you to shine Stand beneath the sun, and you too can shine
I shed my skin, you peel it back, unoriginal sin Well I've been wasting
hypnotized, down on your floor You can't save me You don't have Adam and
Eve to kick around anymore You really do rock the show, they want everybody
to Shine They want you to shine Everybody Shine if you're loaded baby Shine
any place that you're gonna be Shine Stand beneath the sun, and you too
can shine So violated, the way we burned out from its fire So violated,
the way we killed the sun So violated, the way we burned out from its fire
So violated, the way we killed the sun Shine They want you to shine Everybody
Shine if you're loaded baby Shine any place that you're gonna be Shine
Stand beneath the sun, and you too can shine
Mean BoneYou're
dissin' me, I never show it But you're always getting into my head, dismissin'
me I let you do it but you're doin' it In front of my friends I'm not your
doormat, I'm the leader of a kick-you When you're down on crusade, I'm
not a part of that I hear the rumors, goin' round that I'm not that man
I'm tired of playin' dumb I'm tired of being pushed around And if you think
that I'm goin' soft Here come some hard times I got one mean bone in my
body I got one mean bone in my hand You are a parasite, you latched on
And now I'm up to my neck in pain All we do is fight, you bitch and moan
so much I think I need a hearing aid My love won't overcome The way you
put me down And if you think that I'm goin' soft Here come some hard times
I got one mean bone in my body I got one mean bone in my hand
Back to the MomentYou
say you don't wanna go but you've got to understand That you're so far
away from me and I'm all alone Even when you're standing next to me Deep
inside, I feel you want to go free I wanted you eternally I see the truth,
now that you've lied to me Can't you see that the pain breaks me in two
It takes me from you I feel it stop my beating heart, with every little
thing you do It tears me apart, please make it stop and be mine again So
we can take it right back to the moment Where we start again And baby,
you say you already know But you won't ever understand What it's like to
feel you slippin' away from me I'm down on my knees Even though I tried
to carry on Deep inside, I feel like I'm the only one I wanted you eternally,
but I see the truth Now that you've lied to me Oh and you lie to me Can't
you see that the pain breaks me in two It takes me from you I feel it stop
my beating heart, with every little thing you do It tears me apart, please
make it stop and be mine again So we can take it right back to the moment
Where we start again I feel like you're taking away My everything, my everything
'Cause everything you say and do It's like your playing a part When the
curtain finally closes I wonder if you're going to take a bow Before you
break my heart, before you break my heart Now listen to me Can't you see
that the pain breaks me in two It takes me from you I feel it stop my beating
heart, with every little thing you do It tears me apart, please make it
stop and be mine again So we can take it right back to the moment

my light on While I'll turned yours on, on, on...

while I sing my song to you "Cuz it all slips away, it ends too soon How
in the hell did I get here Let me tell you all why I sing the blues Been
in a daze for ten years But I still can sing the truth Heaven knows where
we all go All we have is what we get When it's gone, when will I know Because
I haven't got it yet She's swayin' to the swing of the music Her arms wave
in the air She turns her head, our eyes make contact It lets me know How
in the hell did I get here Let me tell you all why I sing the blues Been
in a daze for ten years But I can still sing the truth Heaven knows where
we all go All we have is what we get When it's gone, when will I know Because
I haven't got it yet Did you find that ride? Did you finally fly? While
I sit here, kickin' and bitchin' Sayin' gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme Gimme
what's mine I thought I had it all, I wanted more No need for you, I slammed
the door I cut you lose What are the chances that I'd walk in here And
find the truth...
LandslideBeen
climbin' the walls for days Baby I don't know why Girl you got my head
in a haze I can't see the sky You throw mud in my face, it's such a disgrace
Why you wanna shake my tree I slip then I slide, you're laughing inside
I know who's going down, it's me And when you walk away I know you're always
sayin' something Is everything okay? I see it in your eyes It's just a
landslide, that feeds my head, that makes it roll It's just a landslide,
keep it in mind, takes me out of control It's like a landmine, steppin'
out of time, ready to explode I feel the landslide on me down in this hole
Now it just takes a look, did you read the whole book Did you study it
between the lines I don't need to explain, there's no pleasure no pain
It just comes with the prize And when you walk away I know you're always
sayin' something Is everything okay? I see it in your eyes It's just a
landslide, that feeds my head, that makes it roll It's just a landslide,
keep it in mind, takes me out of control It's like a landmine, steppin'
out of time, ready to explode I feel the landslide on me down in this hole
I feel your earth shake I feel your body quake, forever, forever Oh, I
see the walls break I feel your heartache, whenever Do you know how I feel
inside I feel like I'm caught in the tide I'm caught in the landslide And
when you walk away I know you're always sayin' something Is everything
okay? I see it in your eyes It's just a landslide, that feeds my head,
that makes it roll It's just a landslide, keep it in mind, takes me out
of control It's like a landmine, steppin' out of time, ready to explode
I feel the landslide on me down in this hole
