GAS GIANTS

From Beyond the Back Burner Lyrics

You’re living proof that all the meek will rule I dream your video’s in every public school Was fun and easy when you sold your soul No one’s accusing you of falling short of your goal I hope my kids like Marilyn Manson

In Mississippi where your plan unfurled Within a decade you’ll be ruling all the world I hope my kids like Marilyn Manson Was fun and easy when you sold your soul No one’s accusing you of falling short of your goal I hope my kids like Marilyn Manson

I’m not complaining having been your tool But now I’ve gotten all I want and need from you All the children like their good clean fun They know your record’s gonna show them how its done I hope my kids like Marilyn Manson...

In between two worlds Its so easy since you bought it In between two worlds How you’d love to join the haunted In between two worlds This can’t be all that you've wanted In between two worlds now

You’re really alone at last You’re bored and fading fast And if it's true you'll fall from the past All you'll have to do is ask You'll feel but never be You want and always need Price you pay for wanting to see Will you have all you’ve ever dreamed

In between two worlds Its so easy since you bought it In between two worlds How you’d love to join the haunted In between two worlds This can’t be all that you've wanted In between two worlds now

Rock and roll and soul Stinking up the charts Running over all these songs have got too many parts Nothing’s sacred, nothing’s safe Watching over Bach and Mozart Rolling over in their graves

I’m not saying we can’t waste another minute on this ride We're only staying cause it's easy never more then this outside Here we stand unsatisfied...

Rock and roll and soul Stinking up the charts Running over all these songs have got too many parts When no one listens, no one cares Pissing from the giants shoulders Love the view though unaware

I can’t tell you there’s a reason we’re all gathered here tonight And I’ve been waiting for this moment to arrive for all my life But then it comes so overhyped...

You don’t want more But you can’t help but take and throw it out Whoever loves the least has all the power bottled up And won’t let it out

When every ounce is drained its just about the worst that I have ever felt Whose side are you on.....

I’m not out much But I’ve got everything I need for now And I don’t have to know what's going on along the windows other side Cause every day’s enough to make it to the witching hour still alive

Whose side are you on...

All around on the floor The living things are keeping me in my place I’m alive I want more I’m innocent I’m finally on my way

Now I’m all for Finally getting up and getting out Cause now I’m fast becoming Finding out a little more about myself

I've turned and what's more No more wandering in total dark When all the rank and file are waking up from scary dreams And screaming out

Were all the missing puzzle pieces Scattered on the table like so many crumbs I’ve long ago forgotten them among a host of many other things That I can’t decide

Whose side are you on...

We've been rehearsing for years I've beat down all of my fears It's harder than it appears When from the audience applause and cheers Pain and souvenirs Listen to the sound effects from all my peers

I'm sinking faster There's a long sad way to go These clowns are stealing the show They'll rob you blind and you will never know We'll always orbit that sphere Once every ten thousand years Three rings and planets from here When all the voyagers and pioneers have all disappeared Lost between the empty space they're nowhere near

Endangered and the strange Are being fed and caged With bits and pieces of the same old show The tamer's getting old She plays a lot of roles By now her feet are getting so cold

Having a meltdown out in the ring Having a meltdown out in the ring Having a meltdown out in the ring Having a meltdown out in the ring

I'm falling under I've been sinking in the yard Here in the circus of stars.....

I can’t help it I’m a quitter From inside I’m cold and bitter Always out an unbeliever We’re not floating in the ether

Sick of the illusion that it's sad to ever want to know Taking off and sputtering whenever it was time to go

Well it's not my fault, I'll never try I can’t even tell you why Well I thought I heard you calling From the corner of my eye

I can’t help it I’m a quitter From inside I’m cold and bitter Always out and in denial Laying wreaths and Spanish tile I’m not scared I’m only nervous When chocolate shakes and power surges Stephen Hawking can’t know either We’re not floating in the ether

It's not my fault, I'll never try Well I can’t even tell you why Well I thought I heard you calling From the corner of my eye

I can’t help it I’m a quitter From inside I’m cold and bitter Always out and in denial Laying wreaths and Spanish tile I’m not scared I’m only nervous When chocolate shakes and power surges Stephen Hawking can’t know either We’re not floating in the ether

Always out and in denial Laying wreaths and Spanish tile Stephen Hawking can’t know either We’re not floating in the ether.....

So I walked Egyptian canyons on my own Strings of consciousness forget this sombre tone And I’m in trouble having missed another find And every ruin has a different song inside

Making wishes on a vessel lost in time Or maybe anchored in my Catalina sky Casting overboard a useless poet’s whine I’m just a denizen of rhythm, word and rhyme

So I wandered in the canyon all alone Why I loved you in this impossible beat poem Of course I wrote most of it especially for you Of course I ruined it cause there’ve been others in my shoes

I know the reasons that she doesn’t see Well its true that I’d fall at her feet But she don’t wanna know She don’t wanna know

I had to write to ask for some way I could tell So pointless in living an anonymous spell If you saw her you’d know how I felt

I’m owning up I can’t give enough To be free I’d have to swear my love But she don’t wanna know She don’t wanna know She don’t wanna know She don’t want to know

I’m not the one to make these Words seem like they’re enough If you did then she’d not mistake me For nothing, I’m nobody, not no one

I know the reasons that she doesn’t see Well she don’t wanna know She don’t wanna know

I’m not the one to take these Words to the one that I love If you did then she’d not mistake me For nothing, I’m nobody, not no one

She don’t wanna know...

I’ve been manic on the phone again Understand it's not my mouth A neverending guessing game again This cursed thought is going south I’m going up, I’m going down

Crying lonely, laugh out loud Trying mostly Won’t you show me, show me how If you could only

You can say I’m only dreaming But it's all that I can see You can pray to hollow idols But I carry them with me

Crying lonely, laugh out loud Trying mostly Won’t you show me, show me now If you could only

Thanks a lot It gets so hot And we’re living in it like it or not

You never fail to interrupt You turn away and then erupt I think the temperature is always going up You come undone and never dream You show your teeth and fall asleep And every day we’re up and down from the heat

Thanks a lot It gets so hot And we’re living in it like it or not Thanks a lot It gets so hot And we’re living in it like it or not And we’re given to the beat of the clock And I’m just going through the motions In a way I don’t believe and can't stop

I didn’t want to run away In it any other day I’m sick of living in this state I got to get up just to realize its so so cold

And we’re living in it like it or not Thanks a lot It gets so hot And we’re living in it like it or not Yeah we’re given to the beat of the clock And I’m just going through the motions In a way I don’t believe and can’t stop

I’ve got one more frame, one more frame to choose Tonight won’t let me wander far from you If I do…… Tonight won’t let me wander far from you

I’ve been sinking in knee deep tar Now its sticking in my shoes Dreaming it's over and all right now Feels beautifully untrue If the kids going over the bridge look down

They could see me here, see me here, see me here confused Tonight won’t let me wander far from you If I do... Tonight won’t let me wander far from you If I do... Tonight won’t let me wander far from you If I do... Tonight won’t let me wander far from you

Filling it over with stinking ground I can see it in my head Leaches and lovers all six feet down And they’re always playing dead We can’t see to the surface so help me out

I’ve got one more try, one more try, one more try, one more try or two Tonight won’t let me wander far from you If I do... Tonight won’t let me wander far from you If I do... Tonight won’t let me wander far from you If I do... Tonight won’t let me wander far, wander far, wander far from you

Kneeling in the sidewalk there’s a pain behind the curse Reeling in the aftershock, I can’t help it Its only getting worse

I need to tell you what I heard the other day They’re painting over us and digging up our graves If I try to shut the screaming out the laughter starts again I hate to put the fires down while I’m drowning in the flame

I’ll be leaving in the morning got to try to shed this curse I can’t leave behind the ringing in my ears It’s only getting worse.....

They’ve got me speaking all their words Singing all their songs I guess they’ll have me writing all their wrongs
