Birdbrain

I'm out, I'm out in bushes

Playing, playing with plastics

Birdbrain, they say I'm a birdbrain

If I am then can I just fly away

Shoe straps and eyelashes washing my brain

Twenty-five years are just washed down the drain

They are, they are a drunken bird

Flying, into the windows

Birdbrain, they say I'm a birdbrain

If I am then can I just fly away

Shoe straps and eyelashes washing my brain

Twenty-five years are just washed down the drain

Shoe straps and eyelashes washing my brain

Twenty-five years are just washed down the drain

If I am then can I just fly away

 

Skeleton Key

I am so seasick of being out to sea

It's got to be the worst thing

That's ever happened to me

But I've got my free pass

My skeleton key

I can open every door that

Stands in front of me

You are so crazy

Should be under lock and key

You've got to be the worst thing

That's every happened to me

But I don't get angry

Got my skeleton key

I can open every door that

Stands in front of me, O.K.

I'm seasick

I'm floating all around the sea

Monkey bars

Gone too far

Got my skeleton key

Got my skeleton key

You are so crazy

Should be under lock and key

You've got to be the worst thing

That's ever happened to me

I don't get angry

Got my skeleton key

I can open every door that

Stands in front of me, O.K.

I'm seasick

I'm floating all around the sea

Monkey bars

Gone too far

Got my skeleton key

Got my skeleton key

 

Caress

Caress inside my bones

Caress inside my bones

A house inside a home

A bird 90 times alone

A bird 90 times alone

I am always alone

I am always alone

A bird 90 times alone

A bird 90 times alone

I am always alone

I am always alone

A house inside a home

I am always alone

 

Guy Who Is Me

Tears fall down like paper around you

But I cannot get through

There's nothing I can do

'Cause you steal secrets from the gods

But I'm no god, and I wish I was

Birds fly high and fall around you

But I have to climb the stairs

You climb high just like a soldier

Your closet mind is so fucking warm

Come and see the guy who is me

An astronaut, he's lost in space

In a station where I have no friends

This is the end

Of the universe

Stay with me for quiet reasons

You don't have to make a scene

Exploding chrome glistening in the street light

And I went around and watched all of you

All of you

Come and see the guy who is me

An astronaut, he's lost in space

In a station where I have no friends

This is the end

Of the universe

Stay with me for quiet reasons

You don't have to make a scene

Exploding chrome glistening in the street light

And I went around and watched all of you

All of you

 

Enemy 

Enemy, all over my body

She's wrapped up

She's wrapped up in alcohol

She's wrapped up

She's wrapped up in caffeine

She's my enemy

She's my enemy

She's my enemy

She's my enemy

 I woke up, she was painting the lattice

She can't see through her mother's magnets

She can't see, she breathes electricity

She's my enemy

She is my enemy

She's my enemy

She's my enemy

She's my enemy

She's my enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy

She's my enemy, enemy

 I woke up, she was painting the lattice

She can't see through her mother's magnets

She can't see, she breathes electricity

She's my enemy

She is my enemy

She's my enemy

She's my enemy

She's my enemy

She's my enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy

She's my enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy

She's my enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy

She's my enemy, yeah

 

Crawl

Please crawl across the sea

Please crawl across to me

You can take me anywhere

Please take me, I don't care

Please crawl across the silent door

40 smiles 500 miles

Can you take this trip

Can you take this leap

Into my life, one big heap

Please crawl across to me

Please crawl across the silent door

40 smiles 500 miles

 But you won't find me there

For I cannot be found

'Cause I'm just a lying son of a bitch

And I don't need this town

Can you take this trip

Can you take this leap

Into my life, one big heap

Please crawl across to me

 Please crawl across the silent door

40 smiles 500 miles

 But you won't find me there

For I cannot be found

'Cause I'm just a lying son of a bitch

And I don't need this town

 Please crawl across to me

Please crawl across to me

Please crawl across to me

Please crawl across to me

I can't see

Please crawl across to me

I can't see…

 

Fortune Teller

Reaching back, I'm fortune teller

I'll tell her I'm the way

There will be those days

Can't make them go away

There are always ways of telling

They are crazy about me

Grass is what I'm after

Tracks got off the train

What is it that you're after

I can't make this train go any faster

There are times, when the days go by

And I'm a total stranger

Plaster souvenirs them shouting in my ear

I can't make fat a skinny cat

Baby substitute

I'm a fortune teller

I'll tell her I'm the way

What is it that you're after

I can't make this train go any faster

 I'm a fortune teller

I'm a fortune teller

I'm a fortune

I'm a fortune teller

I'm a fortune

I'm a fortune teller, yeah

 

Baby

 Y'got married, in the morning

Suzy, don't worry

I'm hidin' your lies in

I'm diggin' "New Day Rising" *

 Life is a maybe

Because you're such a baby

Life is a maybe

You're crazy so lazy

You're feeding me spaces

I'm kneelin' cuz you're feeling

You keep your hands on the ceiling

 Life is a maybe

Because you're such a baby

Life is a maybe

Because you're such a baby

Life is a maybe

 I'll never believe you

I can really see you

You're feedin' my thievin'

Oh baby, keep me singing

 Life is a maybe

Because you're such a baby

Life is a maybe

Because you're such a baby

Life is a maybe

 

Directive

You come down, change my life around

I fell 40 feet today

Get on the ground and feel around

You found something worth my way

You're whining, my magnum's shining

I'm shooting bullets everywhere

This gun's for two

Yeah they pass through you

Just as if you were not there

Now I'm on my face in this lonely place

And I'm pulling metal from my leg

Yeah second wind come around again

I'm alright you keep your head

I'm closer, a roller coaster

Rick and racking in my brain

A boulder right off my shoulder

I'm alright you keep your hands away from me

Now I'm done and I've had my fun

I'm underneath the killing floor

I take my place and you're on your face

I could not have asked for more

You're whining, my magnum's shining

I'm shooting bullets everywhere

A boulder, a roller coaster

I'm alright you keep your hands away from me

Away from me

Away from me

Away from me

 

Bleeding Heart

When I am relaxed

I drop my drink

My bleeding heart

Has a gate of thorns

When I turn on my sink

The guy next door turns his off

But my bleeding heart

Will not go away

Six hundred thousand miles

Cannot squelch its flame

I wear my bleeding heart

Right underneath my sleeve

Oh, roses, daggers, thorns

And words that make a name

I wear my bleeding heart

It will not go away

Will not go away

Will not go away

Oh, roses, daggers, thorns

And words that make a name

I wear my bleeding heart

It will not go away

Will not go away

Will not go away

Will not go away
