Every finger in the room is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
But I get afraid of what that could bring
Got a bowling ball in my stomach
Got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now
I've been looking for a saviour in these dirty streets
Looking for a saviour 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
Everyday, I crucify myself
And nothin' I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself
Oh everyday
And my heart is sick of bein'
I said my heart is sick of bein' in chains
Got a kick for a dog who's beggin' for love
I gotta have my suffering
And 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 saviour in these dirty streets
Looking for a saviour beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start my own religion
Why do we crucify ourselves
Everyday, I crucify myself
And nothin' I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself
Oh everyday
And my heart is sick of bein'
I said my heart is sick of bein' in chains
Please Save Me
I Cry
Looking for a saviour in these dirty streets
Looking for a saviour beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Where're those angels when you need 'em?
Why do we crucify ourselves
Everyday, I crucify myself
And nothin' I do is good enough for you
I crucify myself
Oh everyday
And my heart is sick of bein'
I said my heart is sick of bein' in chains
From in the shadows she calls
And in the shadows she finds a way
Finds a way
And in the shadows 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 blue-bells
Can't make them go away
Well I'm not seventeen
But I've cuts on my knees
Falling down as the winter
Takes one more cherry tree
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
Rushin' rivers thread so thin
Limitations, 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 curses 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
Oh and become all that they told you
The white coats enter the 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
Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I got the antichrist in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got somethin' 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
'Cos 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'd 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 twenty-five bucks and a cracker
Do you think it's enough
To get us there?
'Cos what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
'Cos sometimes I said sometimes
I hear my voice and it's been here
Silent all these years
Silent all these...
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 hand
Years go by will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we're too easy easy easy
Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Lets 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
And 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
But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
'Cos sometimes I said sometimes
I hear my voice and it's been here
Silent all these years
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 on 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 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
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Their hold on me
I remember
Yes in my peach party dress
No-one dared
No-one cared
To tell me
Where those pretty girls are
Those demi-gods
With their Nine-Inch Nails
And little fascist panties
Tucked inside the heart of every nice girrrrl
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Their hold on me
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 hands 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 your self 'cos 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?
'Cos 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
When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
'Cos 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
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?
'Cos 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
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 starwberry 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 closer
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 witha pen
I'm still the angel to a girl who hates to sin
Oo who the time is getting closer
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
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...
Oo who the time is getting closer
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
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
And sometimes I think you want me to touch you
But how can I when you build the great wall around you
Oh In your eyes I saw a future together
But you just look away in the distance
China decorates our table
Funny how tha 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
And sometimes I think you want me to touch you
But how can I when you build the great wall around you
Oh In your eyes I saw a future together
But you just look away in the distance
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....
Go go go go now
Out of the nest it's time
Go go go now
Circus girl without a safety net
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 red-haired
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
Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Black chariot for the red-haired
Dancing dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Somebody leave the light on
Just in just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come from
I escape into your escape into
Our very favourite 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
Oooh Mother
Mother the car is here
Maybe maybe you'll leave the light on
For the for the for the dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Somebody leave the light on
Just in just in case I like the dancing
I can remember where I come
Come from
All the world just stopped now
So you say you don't want to 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 that whole world that you had
With that tear in your hand
Tear in your hand
Maybe
I ain't used to
Maybes
Smashin' in a cold room
I cut my hands up everytime I touch you
And maybe
Maybe it's time
To say goodbye now
Time to say goodbye now
Caught a ride with the moon
Oh I know
I know you well
Well, better than I used to
Haze all clouded up my mind
In a 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
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 that whole world that you had
With that tear in your hand
Tear in your hand
With that tear in your hand
Five AM Friday mornin'
Thursday night far from sleep
I'm still up and drivin'
Can't go home, obviously
So I'll just change directions
Cause they'll soon know where I live
And I want to 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
You can laugh it's kind of funny
The things you think times like these
Like 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
Me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
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 three days time
So you choose well"
Tell me what's right, is it my right
To be on my stomach of Fred's Seville
Me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
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
You're pushed flat on your stomach
It's not a classic cadillac
Me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
Yellow bird flying get shot in the wing
Good year for hunters and Chritmas parties
And I hate and I hate and I hate
Elevator music
The way we shout
The way I'm left here silent
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
Oh these little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
We danced in graveyards
With vampyres till dawn
We laughed in the faces of Kings
Never afraid to burn
And I hate and I hate and I hate
Disintegration
Watching us wither
Black winged roses
That safely change their colour
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
Oh these little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
Give me life give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life give me pain
Give me myself again
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
Oh these little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
