farewell and goodnight

Today

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day

I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you

Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known

Disarm

Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn

I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you

Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you

The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you

Tonight, Tonight

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as i believe in you, tonight

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do i get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though i know-i suppose i'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
Now i'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, i want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though i know-i suppose i'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me i'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me i'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
Despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
And i still believe that i cannot be saved

Thirty-Three

Speak to me in a language i can hear humour me before i have to go
Deep in thought i forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know i can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know i'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment i lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts i still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies i'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you

Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and i should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And i don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust i guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in the store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, i know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust i guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around

Farewell and Goodnight

Goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tite
May it hold you through the winter of a long night
And keep you from the loneliness of yourself
Heart strung is your heart frayed and empty
Cause it's hard luck, when no one understands your love
It's unsung, and i say
Goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
Goodnight, always, to all that's in your heart

Goodnight, may your dreams be so happy and your
Head lite with the wishes of a sandman and a night light
Be careful not to let the bedbugs sleep tight nestled in your covers
The sun shines but i don't
A silver rain will wash away
And you can tell, it's just as well
Goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
Goodnight, always to all that's pure that's in your heart
