COME HOME

Stuck between the do or die
I feel emaciated
Hard to breathe I try and try
I'll get asphyxiated
Swinging from the tallest height
With nothing left to hold on to

Every sky is blue but not for me and you

Come home...

Glass and petrol vodka gin
It feels like breathing methane
Throw yourself from skin to skin
And still it doesn't dull the pain
Vanish like a lipstick trace
It always blows me away
Every cloud is grey with dreams of yesterday

Come home...

Always goes against the grain
And I can try and deny it
Give a monkey half a brain
And still he's bound to fry it
Now the happening scene is dead
I used to want to be there too...



TEENAGE ANGST

Shine the headlight..Straight into my eyes
Like the roadkill..I'm paralysed..

You see through my disguise

At the drive-in..Double feature

Pull the lever..Break the fever
And say your last goodbyes

Since I was born I started to decay
Now nothing ever ever goes my way

One fluid gesture
Like stepping back in time
Trapped in amber...Petrified
And still not satisfied

Airs and social graces
Elocution so divine
I'll stick to my needle
And my favourite waste of time
Both spineless and sublime



BIONIC

Harder faster.Forever after

None of you can make the grade x4

Harder faster.Forever after.



36 DEGREES

We were tight..But it falls apart
As silver turns to blue
Waxing with a candlelight
And burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment
And stick it in a box
I've never been an extrovert
But i'm still breathing

Someone tried to do me ache
(it's what i'm afraid of)

With hindsight
I was more than blind
Lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold
And what I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstances
Lonely at the top
I've always been an introvert
Happily bleeding

Someone tried to do me ache
(it's what i'm afraid of)
4723985
I've gotta breathe to stay alive
And 142978
Feels like i'm gonna suffocate
14 16 22
This skin that turns to blister blue
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees



HANG ON TO YOUR IQ

Chinese masseuse.comes between usa
Talks in haikus.Plastic venus
Got a headrush in her pocket
Two rubbers two lubes
And a silver rocket

Hang on hang on
To your iq to your id.....I'm lonely

Every morning
My eyes will open wide
I gotta get high
Before I go outside
Roll another for breakfast
Burning clouds around
And in my solar plexus

Hang on hang on
To your iq to your id

Legs eleven
Makes me stay up late
Two fat ladies on my back
And now it's 88
I'm a fool whose tool is small
It's so miniscule.It's no tool at all



NANCY BOY

Alcoholic kind of mood
Lose my clothes ..Lose my lube
Cruising for a piece of fun
Looking out for number one
Different partner every night
So narcotic outta sight
What a gas..what a beautiful ass

And it all breaks down at the role reversal
Got the muse in my head she's universal
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal
Got the muse in my head she's universal
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me

Kind of buzz that lasts for days
Had some help from insect ways
Comes across all shy and coy
Just another nancy boy
Woman man or modern monkey
Just another happy junkie
Fifty pounds...Press my button
Going down

does his makeup in his room
Douse himself with cheap perfume
Eyeholes in a paper bag
Greatest lay I ever had
Kind of guy who mates for life
Gotta help him find a wife
We're a couple when our bodies double



I KNOW

I know.You love the song but not the singer
I know.You've got me wrapped around your finger
I know.You want the sin without the sinner
I know...I know ...

I know
The past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
The last in line is always called a bastard
I know
The past will catch you up as you run faster
I know...I know

I know.You cut me loose in contradiction
I know.I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition
I know...It's asking for your benediction
I know...I know...



BRUISE PRISTINE

The means are right for taking
Fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless
In the face of beauty
In this matrix
It's plain to see
It's either you or me

Bruise...Pristine...Serene
We were born to lose

Cas 'n' lie with a velvet glove
Reading like an open book
In the hands of love
In this matrix
It's plain to see
It's either you or me

Bruise...Pristine...Serene
We were born to lose

Encore

Means are right for taking
Fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless
In the face of beauty
In this matrix
It's plain to see
It's either you or me



LADY OF THE FLOWERS

'Scuse me
I apologize
He likes your attitude
He tries it on for size
He spends the afternoon
Between your thighs
How's that for gratitude
I apologize

It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
And her hypnotic gaze

'Scuse me
I apologize
She's got vaccum cleaner eyes
That sucks you in
She's got magazines
Filled with pear pies
'Scuse me
I apologize

It seemed to last for hours...

She wears her tears on her blouse
Confused and racked with self-doubt
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out

'Scuse me...I apologize...

It seemed to last for hours...

She wears her tears on her blouse
Confused and racked with self doubt
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out

She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out
She lays me down..She lays me
