 she's addicted to nicotine patches 
she's addicted to nicotine patches 
she's afraid of the light in the dark 
6.58 are you sure where my spark is 
here, here, here 
she's convinced she could hold back a glacier 
but she couldn't keep Baby alive 
doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere 
here, here, here 
you say you don't want it again 
and again but you don't really mean it 
you say you dont want it 
this circus we're in 
but you don't you don't really mean it you don't really mean it 
if the Divine master plan is perfection 
maybe next i'll give Judas a try 
trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin 
here, here, here 
you say you don't want it again 
and again but you don't really mean it 
you say you don't want it 
this circus we're in 
but you don't you don't really mean it you don't really mean it 
how many fates turn around in the overtime 
ballerinas that have fins that you'll never find
 
you thought that you were the bomb yeah well so did i 
say you don't want it 
say you don't want it 
say you don't want it again
 
and again but you don't really mean it 
say you don't want it 
this circus we're in 
but you don't 
you don't really mean it 
you don't really mean it 
she's addicted to nicotine patches 
she's afraid of the light in the dark 
6.58 are you sure where my spark is 
here, here, here 
 
so don't give me respect don't give me a piece of your preciousness 
flaunt all she's got in our old neighbourhood 
I'm sure she'll make a few friends 
even the rain bows down let us pray as you cock-cock-cock your mane 
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANA'S for you I can be cruel 
I don't know why 
why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky 
I can be cruel I don't know why 
dance with the Sufi's celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain 
lover brother bogenvilla my vine twists around your need 
even the rain is sharp like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane 
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANA'S for you I can be cruel 
 
She was a January girl 
She never let on how insane it was 
in that tiny kinda scary house by the woods 
by the woods 
by the woods 
black-dove black-dove 
you don't need a space ship 
they don't know you've already lived
 
on the other side of the galaxy 
she had a January world 
so many storms not right somehow 
how a lion becomes a mouse by the woods 
but i have to get to TEXAS 
said i have to get to TEXAS 
and I'll give away my blue, blue dress 
she had a January girl 
she never let on how insane it was 
in that tiny kinda scary house by the woods 
 
I am not senorita 
I am not from your tribe 
in the garden I did no crime 
I am not your senorita 
I am not from your tribe 
if you want inside her well, 
boy you better make her raspberry swirl 
things are getting desperate 
when all the boys can't be men 
everybody knows I'm her friend 
everybody knows I'm her man 
I'm not your senorita 
I don't aim so high 
in my heart I do no crime
 
if you want inside her well,
 
boy you better make her raspberry swirl 
 
A Bouvier till her wedding day shots rang out and the police came 
mama layed me on the front lawn and prayed for Jackie's strength 
feeling old by 21 
never thought my day would come 
my bridesmaids getting laid I pray for Jackie's strength 
make me laugh 
say you know what you want 
you said we were the real thing
 
so I show you some more and I learn
 
what black magic can do 
make me laugh 
say you know you can turn 
me into the real thing 
so I show you some more and I learn 
stickers licked on lunch boxes 
worshipping David Cassidy 
yeah I mooned him once on Donna's box 
she's still in recovery 
sleep-overs Beene's got some pot 
you're only popular with anorexia so I turn myself inside out 
in hope someone will see 
make me laugh 
say you know what you want 
you said we were the real thing
 
so I show you some more and I learn
 
what black magic can do 
make me laugh 
say you know you can turn 
me into the real thing 
so I show you some more 
and I learn 
I got lost on my wedding day typical 
the plice came 
but virgins always get backstage no matter what they've got to say 
if you love enough you'll lie a lot 
guess they did in Camelot 
mama's waiting on my front lawn 
I pray I pray I pray 
for Jackie's Strength 
 
 
With your E's
 
and your ease 
and I do much more
 
need a lip gloss boost
 
in your America 
is it God's 
is it yours 
sweet saliva 
with your E's 
and your ease 
and I do one more 
I know we're dying 
and there's no sign of a parachute 
we scream in cathedrals 
why can't it be beautiful 
why does there gotta be a sacrifice 
just say yes 
you little arsonist 
you're so sure you can save 
every hair on my chest 
just say yes 
you little arsonist
 
with your E's 
and your ease 
and I do one more 
well I know we're dying
 
and there's no sign of a parachute 
in this chapel 
little chapel of love
 
can't we get a little grace
 
and some elegance 
no we scream in cathedrals 
why can't it be beautiful 
why does there 
gotta be a sacrifice
 
just say yes 
you little arsonist
 
with your E's 
and your ease 
and I do one more 
well I know we're dying
 
and there's no sign of a parachute 
in this chapel 
little chapel of love
 
can't we get a little grace 
and some elegance 
no we scream in cathedrals 
why can't it be beautiful 
why does there 
gotta be a sacrifice

Surrender then start your engines 
you'll know quite soon what my mistake was
 
for those on horse back or dog sled 
you turn at the bend in the road 
I hear she still grants forgiveness 
although I willingly forgot her 
the offering is molasses and you say
 
I guess I'm an underwater thing 
I'm liquid running 
there's a sea secret in me
 
it's plain to see it is rising
 
but I must be flowing liquid diamonds 
calling for my soul 
at the corners of the world 
I know she's playing poker 
and if your friends don't come back to you 
and you know this is madness 
a lilac mess in your prom dress 
and you say 
I guess I'm an underwater thing 
 
She's Your Cocaine 
She's got you shaving your legs 
you can suck anything 
but you know you wanna be me 
put on your makeup boy 
you're your favourite stranger 
and we all like to watch 
so shimmy once and do it again
 
bring your sister if you can't handle it 
she says you control it 
then she says you don't control it 
then she says you're controlling 
the way she makes you crawl 
She's your cocaine 
your Exodus laughing 
and she knows what you are
 
so shimmy once 
and do it again 
bring your sister 
bring your sister 
if you can't handle it
 
if you want me to 
Boy I could lie to you
 
you don't need one of these to let me inside of you 
and is it true that devils end up like you 
do something safe for the picture frame 
and is it true that devils end up like you 
so tied up you don't know how she came 
She's your cocaine 
she's got you shaving your legs 
she got you liking mine back 
got me taking it in 
getting mine back 
I'm taking my easel 
and I'm writing good checks 
you sign Prince of Darkness 
try Squire of Dimness 
please don't help me with this 
 
Had a Northern lad 
well not exactly had 
he moved like the sunset 
god who painted that- 
first he loved my accent 
how his knees could bend 
I thought we'd be ok 
me and my molasses 
But I feel something is wrong 
But I feel this cake just isn't done 
Don't say that you Don't 
and if you could see me now 
said if you could see me now 
girls you've got to know 
when it's time to turn the page
 
when you're only wet because of the rain 
you know it's time to change 
he don't show much these days 
it gets so fucking cold 
I loved his secret places 
but I can't go anymore 
"you change like sugar cane" 
says my northern lad 
I guess you go too far 
when pianos try to be guitars
 
I feel the west in you 
and I feel is falling apart too 
Don't say that you Don't 
and if you could see me now 
said if you could see me now 
girls you've got to know 
when it's time to turn the page
 
when you're only wet because of the rain 
you know it's time to change 
when you're only wet 
because of the rain 
 
Met 'em in a hotel 
Met 'em in a hotel 
Beneath groung 
tell him he's missing 
tell me this is one for 
Lollipop Gestapo 
You were wild 
where are you now 
You were wild 
where are you now 
give me more 
give me more 
give me more 
I have to learn to let you crash down 
I have to learn to let you crash down 
I have to learn to let you crash 
Met 'em in a hotel 
Met 'em in a hotel 
you say he's the biggest thing 
there'll be this year 
I guess that what I'm seeking 
I guess that what I'm seeking 
isn't here 
Met him in a hotel 
Met him in a guess world
 
guessed anyone but you 
You were wild 
where are you now 
You were wild 
where are you now 
give me more 
give me more 
give me more 
I have to learn to let you crash down 
where are the velvets 
where are the velvets 
where are the velvets 
when you're coming down 
You were wild 
where are you now 
You were wild 
where are you now 
King Solomon's Mines 
Exit 75 
I'm still alive 
I'm still alive 
I'm still alive 
 
 
In my platforms 
I hit the floor 
fell face down 
didn't help my brain out 
then the baby came 
before I found 
the magic how 
to keep her happy 
I never was the fantasy
 
of what you want 
wanted me to be 
Don't judge me so harsh little girl 
so you got a playboy mommy 
but when you tell them my name 
from here to Birmingham 
I got a few friends 
I never was there was there when it counts 
I get my way 
you're so like me
 
you seemed ashamed 
ashamed that I was 
a good friend of American soldiers 
I'll say it loud here by your grave 
those angels can't 
ever take my place 
somewhere where the the orchids grow 
I can't find those church bells 
that played when you died 
played Gloria 
talkin bout 
Hosanah 
don't judge me so harsh little girl 
 
Pandora 
Pandora’s Aquarium 
she dives for shells 
with her nautical nuns 
and thoughts you thought 
you’d never tell 
I am not asking you to believe in me 
Boy I think you’re confused 
I’m not Persephone 
foam can be dangerous 
with tape across my mouth 
those things you do 
I never asked you how 
Line me up in single file 
with all your grievances 
Stare but I can taste 
you’re still alive 
below the waste 
ripples come and ripples go 
and ripple back to me 
Pandora 
Pandora’s aquarium 
she dives for shells 
with her nautical nuns 
and thoughts you thought 
you’d never tell 
Line me up in single file
 
with all your grievances 
Stare but I can taste 
you’re still alive below the waste 
ripples come and ripples go 
and ripple back to me 
I am not asking you to believe in me 
Boy I think you’re confused 
I’m not Persephone 
She’s in New York somewhere
 
checking her accounts 
The Lord of The Flies was diagnosed as Sound
 
When Space Dog decided to take down "Way Beyond the Pale" he said I could use his lyrics page. He had it very well done so I took some of his organization and incorperated it here. Thanks Space Dog. Your site will be missed...
