THIS PICTURE
I hold an image of the ashtray girl Of cigarette burns on my chest I wrote a poem that described her world And put our friendship to the test And late at night whilst on all fours She used to watch me kiss the floor What's wrong with this picture? What's wrong with this picture? Farewell the ashtray girl Forbidden snowflake Beware this troubled world Watch out for earthquakes Goodbye to open sores To broken semaphore You know we miss her We miss her picture Sometimes it's faded (We) Disintegrate it For fear of growing old Sometimes it's faded (We) Assassinate it For fear of growing old Farewell the ashtray girl Angelic fruitcake Beware this troubled world Control your intake Goodbye to open sores Goodbye and furthermore You know we miss her We (fuckin) miss her picture Sometimes it's faded Disintegrated The fear of growing old Sometimes it's faded Assassinated The fear of growing old Hang on Though we try It's gone Hang on Though we try It's gone Sometimes it's faded Disintegrated The fear of growing old Sometimes it's faded Assassinated The fear of growing old You can't stop growing old You can't stop growing old You can't stop growing old You can't stop growing old You can't stop growing old

Sleeping With Ghosts
The sea's evaporating Though it comes as no suprise These clouds we're seeing They're explosions in the sky It seems it's written But we can't read between the line Hush It's ok Dry your eye Dry your eye Soulmate dry your eye Dry your eye Soulmate dry your eye 'Cause soulmates never die This one world vision Turns us into compromise What good's religion When it's each other we despise? Damn the government Damn their killing Damn their lies Hush It's ok Dry your eyes Dry your eyes Soulmate dry your eyes Dry your eyes Soulmate dry your eyes 'Cause soulmates never die Soulmates never die Never die Soulmates never die Never die Soulmates never die Soulmates never die Soulmates never die Soulmates never die

THE BITTER END
Since we're feeling so anesthetized In our comfort zone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home We're running out of alibis On the second of May Reminds me of the summer time On this winter's day See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end Every step we take that's synchronized Every broken bone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home You shower me with lullabies As you're walking away Reminds me that it's killing time On this fateful day See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end

"From the time we intercepted Feels a lot like suicide Slow and sad, grown inside us Arouse and see you're mine Love has seen your run-around Who wanna seek you now? I want a peace I'd whine out love's reached his side Grab this gentleness inside Heard a cry Six feet down In six weeks' time The mess you left Will end "
(*Questo è il testo più verosimile, in realtà nessuno sa le parole precise, anche perchè lo stesso Molko nei live le cambia del tutto)

Protect Me From What I Want
It's the disease of the age It's the disease that we crave Alone at the end of the rave We catch the last bus home Corporate America waits Coffee republic and cakes We open the latch on the gate Of the hole that we call a home Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me protect me Maybe we're victim to fate Remember when we'd celebrate We'd drink and get high until late And now we're all alone Wedding bells ain't gonna chime With both of us guilty of crime And both of us sentenced to time And now we're all alone Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me protect me Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me protect me Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me protect me Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me protect me Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me from what I want Protect me protect me
