MEDS
featuring Alison Mosshart

vplacebov

I was alone, falling free,
trying my best not to forget,
what happened to us, what happened to me,
what happened as i let it slip.
I was confused by the powers that be,
forgetting names and faces,
Passers by, were looking at me,
as if they could erase it

Baby .. did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone, staring over the ledge,
tyring my best not to forget,
all manner of joy, all manner of glee,
and our one heroic pledge.
How it mattered to us, how would it mattered to me,
and the consequences.
I was confused, by the birds and the bees,
forgetting if i meant it

Baby .. did you forget to take your meds?

And the sex and the drugs, and the complications

Baby .. did you forget to take you meds?

I was alone, falling free,
trying my best not to forget

INFRA-RED
vplacebov

One last thing before i shuffle off the planet,
I will be the one to make you crawl,
So i came down to wish you an unhappy birthday
Someone call the ambulance,
there's gonna be an accident.

I'm coming up on infrared,
there is no running that can hide you,
'cause i can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infrared,
forget your running,
I will find you

One more thing before we start the final face-off,
I will be the one to watch you fall,
So i came down to crash and burn your begger's banquet
Someone call the ambulance,
there's gonna be an accident

I'm coming up on infrared,
there is no running that can hide you,
'cause i can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infrared,
forget your running,
I will find you

Someone call the ambulance,
there's gonna be an accident
I'm coming up on infrared,
there is no running that can hide you,
'cause i can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infrared,
forget your running,
I will find you
'cause i can see in the dark

I'm coming up on infrared,
there is no running that can hide you,
'cause i can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infrared,
forget your running,
I'll find you
I'll find you

DRAG
vplacebov

You're always ahead of the game,
I drag behind,
You never get caught in the rain,
When I'm drenched to the bone every time,
You're the first one to swim across the Seine,
I lag behind,
You're always ahead of the game,
While I drag behind ..

I drag behind,

You're always ahead of the pack,
I drag behind,
You possess every trait that I lack,
By coincidence or by design,
You're the monkey I got on my back,
That tells me to shine,
You're always ahead of the pack,
While I drag behind ..

I drag behind,

You're always ahead of the rest,
When I'm always on time,
You got A's on your algebra test,
I failed and they kept me behind,
I just gotta get off my chest,
That I think you're divine,
You're always ahead of the rest,
While I drag behind ..

I drag behind

SPACE MONKEY
vplacebov

Space monkey in the place to be,
Riding in a rocket to a planet of sound,
Shooting the moon, playing dominos in drag,
An increase in population of a hundred percent.

Space monkey in the place to be,
With a chemical peel, and a picture of Mary,
Out on a limb in the carnival of me,
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees.

We're sown together, she's born to mesmer
Beside astride her, i die inside her

Space Monkey in the place to be,
A mas of contradictions in a golden frame,
Raising the roof in a calamity way,
Completely meretricious of a poke in the eye.

Space monkey in the place to be,
Talk of the town, with a Columbian rock
Out on a limb in the carnival of me,
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees.

We're sown together, she's born to mesmer
Beside astride her, i die inside her
It's far too sacred , don't ever fake it,
And don't, and don't, and don't let me down.

Like you let me down before,

Space monkey in the place to be,
With some free association and a hole in her head,
Out on a limb in the carnival of me,
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees.

We're sown together, she's born to mesmer
Beside astride her, i die inside her
It's far too sacred , don't ever fake it,
And don't, and don't, and don't let me down.

Like you let me down before

FOLLOW THE COPS BACK HOME
vplacebov

The call to arms was never true,
Time to imbibe, here's to you,
I'll tell you stories bruised and blue,
Drum machines and landslides.
Just one more round before we're through,
More psychedelic yuppie flu,
It's such a silly thing to do,
Now we're stuck on rewind.

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And rob their houses.

The call to arms was never true,
Let's take a ride and push it through,
Suspended animation glue,
And blame it on apartheid,
Let's spend the night in Jimmy Choo's,
I'll give you coats and cheap shampoo,
I'll give you nothing else to do, and now we're stuck on rewind.

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And rob their houses.

The call to arms was never true,
I'm medicated, how are you?
Let's take a dive, swim right through,
Sophisticated points of view.

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And rob their houses.

POST BLUE
vplacebov

It's in the water baby,
It's in the pills that bring you down,
It's in the water baby,
It's in your bag of golden brown,
It's in the water baby,
It's in your frequency,
It's in the water baby,
It's between you and me.

It's in the water baby,
It's in the pills that pick you up,
It's in the water baby,
It's in the special way we fuck,
It's in the water baby,
It's in your family tree,
It's in the water baby,
It's between you and me.

Bite the hand that feeds,
Tap the vein that bleeds,
Down on my bended knees.

I'd break the back of love for you

It's in the water baby,
It's in the pills that bring you down,
It's in the water baby,
It's in your bag of golden brown,
It's in the water baby,
It's in your frequency,
It's in the water baby,
It's between you and me.

Bite the hand that feeds,
Tap the vein that bleeds,
Down on my bended knees.

I'd break the back of love for you

BECAUSE I WANT YOU
vplacebov

Fall into you is all I seem to do.
When i hit the bottle,
'cause I'm afraid to be alone.
Tear us in two is all it seems to do,
As the anger fades,
This house is no longer a home,
Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting,
and everything that's true.
Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting.
Because I want you too,
Because I want you.

Stumble into you is all i ever do,
My memory's hazy,
And I'm afraid to be alone.
Tear us in two is all it's gonna do,
As the headache fades,
This house is no longer a home,
Don't give up on the dream,
on't give up on the wanting,
and everything that's true.
Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting,
Because I want you too,
Because I want you.

Fall in to you is all i ever do,
When I hit the bottle,
'cause I'm afraid to be alone,
Tear us in two.

Because I want you too,
Because I want you

BLIND
vplacebov

If I could tear you from the ceiling,
And guarantee a source divine,
Rid you off possessions fleeting,
Remain your funny valentine.

Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind.

If i could tear you from the ceiling,
I know best have tried,
I'd fill your every breath with meaning,
And find a place we both could hide.

Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind.
You don't believe me,
But you do this every time,
Please don't drive me blind

I know you're broken

If I could tear you from the ceiling,
I'd freeze us both in time,
Find a brand new way of seeing.
Your eyes forever glued to mine.

Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind,

And please don't drive me blind.

I know you're broken

PIERROT THE CLOWN
vplacebov

Leave me dreaming on the bed,
See you right back here tomorrow,
For the next round.
Keep this scene inside your head,
As the bruises turn to yellow,
And the swelling goes down.

And if you're ever around,
In the city or the suburbs
of this town,
Be sure to come around,
I'll be wallowing in sorrow,
wearing a frown,
like Pierrot the clown.

Saw you crashing 'round the bay,
Never seen you act so shallow,
or look so brown.
Remember all the things you'd say,
How your promises ran hollow,
as you threw me to the ground.

And if you're ever around,
In the backstreets or the alleys,
of this town.
Be sure to come around,
I'll be wallowing in pity,
wearing a frown,
like Pierrot the clown.

When i dream, i dream if your lips,
When i dream, i dream of your kiss,
When i dream, i dream of your fists,
your fists, your fists

Leave me bleeing in the bed,
See you right back here tommorrow,
for the next round.
Keep this scene inside your head,
As the bruises turn to yellow,
And the swelling goes down.

And if you're ever around,
In the city or the suburbs,
of this town,
Be sure to come around,
I'll be wallowing in sorrow,
wearing a frown,
Like Pierrot the clown,

BROKEN PROMISE
featuring Michael Stipe

vplacebov

We'll rise above this, we'll cry about this,
As we live and learn.
A broken promise - I was not honest,
Now I watch as tables turn,
(And you're singing)

I'll wait my turn to tear inside you -
Watch you burn,
I'll wait my turn, I'll wait my turn.

I'll cry about this and hide my cuckold eyes,
As you come off all concerned,
I'll find no solace in your poor apology,
In your regret that sounds absurd,
(Keep singing)

I'll wait my turn to tear inside you -
Watch you burn.
I'll wait my turn to terrorize you -
Watch you burn.
I'll wait my turn, I'll wait my turn.

Promise is a promise,

I'll wait my turn to tear inside you -
Watch you burn.
I'll wait my turn, I'll wait my turn.

A broken promise,
You were not honest,
I'll bide my time, I'll wait my, turn

ONE OF A KIND
vplacebov

On top of the world you get nothing done,
Talk is cold and burns like the sun,
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
'cause on top of the world is where I'm from.
The back of the class is where I was,
Keeping quiet playing dumb,
Can't you see these skies are breaking,
'cause the back of the class is where I'm from.

And I am one,
I am,
I am one,
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am.

I'm in a race and it's killing time,
I don't need yours I'll keep it with mine,
Can't you see these skies are breaking,
'cause I'm on a race and I'm doing fine, thank you.
Two of a kind no one home,
I'm in a crowd and I'm still alone,
Can't you see these skies are breaking
'cause one of a kind is all I own.

I am one,
I am.
I am one,
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am

Out of the womb and into the void,
I wanna try but I get annoyed,
Can't you see these skies are breakin
'cause i'm out of the womb and into the void.

I am one,
I am.
I am one,
I am I am I am I am.

On top of the world you get nothing done

IN THE COLD LIGHT OF THE MORNING
vplacebov

In cold light of morning,
While everyone's yawning,
You're high,
In the cold light of morning,
The party gets boring,
You're high.
As your skin starts a scratchin',
Wave yesterday's action goodbye,
Forget past indiscretions and stolen possessions,
You're high.

In the cold light.
In the cold light of morning,
While everyone's yawning,
You're high.
In the cold light of morning,
You're drunksick from whoring,
And high,
Staring back from the mirror's a face that you don't recognise,
It's a loser, a sinner, a cock in a dildo's disguise,

In the cold light.
Tomorrow

As your skin starts a scratchin',
Wave yesterdays action goodbye.
Forget past indiscretions and stolen possessions,
You're high.
In the cold light of day,
Tomorrow's only a kettle whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle away
In the cold light of day

SONG TO SAY GOODBYE
vplacebov

You are one of God's mistakes
You crying, tragic waste of skin
I'm well aware of how it aches
And you still won't let me in
Now I'm breaking down your door
To try and save your swollen face
Though I don't like you anymore
You lying, trying waste of space

Before our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And the voice that made me cry
My oh my

You were Mother Nature's son
Someone to whom I could relate
Your needle and your damage done
Remains a sordid twist of fate
Now I'm trying to wake you up
To pull you from the liquid sky
'cause if I don't we'll both end up
With just your song to say goodbye

My oh my

A song to say goodbye
A song to say

Before our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And the voice that made me cry

It's a song to say goodbye
