Meds[ft. Alison Mosshart from the Kills]
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 places
Passersby were looking at me
As if they could erase it
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
I was alone
Staring over the ledge
Trying my best not to forget
All manner of joy
All manner of glee
And our one heroic pledge
How it mattered to us
How 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? [x4]
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications [x4]
Baby did you forget to take your meds? [x6]
I was alone
Falling free
Trying my best not to forget
Infra-red
One last time before I shuffle off the planet
I will be the one to make you crawl
So I came down to write you an unhappy birthday
Someone call the ambulance
There's going to be an accident
I'm coming up on infra red
There is no running that can hide you
Cos I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra red
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 beggars banquet
Someone call the ambulance
There's going to be an accident
I'm coming up on infra red
There is no running that can hide you
Cos I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra red
Forget your running I will find you
(Find you)
Someone call the ambulance
There's going to be an accident
I'm coming up on infra red
There is no running that can hide you
Cos I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra red
Forget your running I will find you
Cos I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra red
There is no running that can hide you
Cos I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra red
Forget your running I will find you
I'll find you
I'll find you
Drag
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
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
You're always ahead of the pack
I drag behind
You posses every trait that I lack
By coincidence or by design
You're the monkey I've got on my back
That tells me to shine
You're always ahead of the pack
While I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
You're always ahead of the rest
When I'm always on time
You got As on your algebra tests
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 [x8]
Space Monkey
A Space Monkey in the place to be
Riding in a rocket to a planet of sound
She and the unplanned Dominos in drag
Increasing population of 100%
Space monkey in the place to be
With a chemical appeal
And a picture of me
Arm around in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature 100 degrees
we're sewn together
she’s born to mesmer
beside astride her
I die inside her
A Space Monkey in the place to be
A massive contradictions in a bull in the frame
Raising everything the humanity way
Completely malnutrition and a poke in the eye
A Space monkey in the place to be
Talk of the town with a Peruvian rock
Arm around in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature 100 degrees
we're sewn together
she’s born to mesmer
beside astride her
I die inside her
It's far too secret
Don't ever fake it
And don't and don't and don't let me down
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Space monkey in the place to be
With some free association and a hole in her head
Arm around in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature 100 degrees
we're sewn together
she’s born to mesmer
beside astride her
I die inside her
It's far too sacred
Don't let her fake it
And don't and don't and don't let me down
Like you let me down before [x4]
Follow The Cops Back Home
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 in blue
Blame it on apartheid
Let’s spend the night in Jimmy Choos
I’ll give you coats and cheap shampoo
I’ll give you nothing else 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
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 point 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
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
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 break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I 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 break the back of love for you [x8]
Because I Want You
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 too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
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
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 too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Fall into you is all I ever do!
When I hit the bottle
'Cause I'm afraid to be alone
Tear us in two
Tear us in two
Tear us in two
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Blind
If I could tear you from the ceiling
And guarantee source divine
Rid you of possessions fleeting
Remain your funny valentine
Don't go and leave me
And please don't drive me blind
Don't go and leave me
And please drive me blind
If I could tear you from the ceiling
I know the best have tried
I feel your every breath with meaning
define the place we both could fight
Don’t go and leave me
And please don’t drive me blind
Don’t go and leave me
And please drive me blind
You don’t believe me
But you do this every time
Please don’t drive me blind
Please don’t drive me blind
I know we’re broken
I know we’re broken
I know we’re broken
If I could tear you from the ceiling
I’d freeze us both in time
And 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
Don’t go and leave me
And please drive me blind
Please don’t drive me blind
Please don’t drive me blind
Please don’t drive me blind
Please don’t drive me blind
I know we’re broken
I know we’re broken
I know we’re broken
Pierrot The Clown
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
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 around the bay
Never seen you act so shallow
Or look so brown
Remember all the things you'd say
How your promises rang 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 of your lips
When I dream, I dream of your kiss
When I dream, I dream of your fists
Your fists
Your fists
Leave me bleeding 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
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 [x5]
Broken Promise [ft. Michael Stipe from R.E.M.]
They rise above the hills
They cry about this
As we live in hope
A broken promise
I was not honest
Now I watch as tables turn
And you're singing
I'll wait my time
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I'll wait my time
I'll wait my time
I'll cry about this
And hide my cuckled eyes
As you come off all concerned
And I'll find no solace
In your poor apology
And you'll regret that sounds absurd
And keep singing
I'll wait my time
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
And I'll wait my time
To terrorize you
Watch you burn
And I'll wait my time
I'll wait my time
And this is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise
And 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
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?
Cos 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?
Cos 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?
Cos I’m in a race and I’m doing fine
Thank you
Two of a kind and no-one home
I’m in a crowd and I’m still alone
Can’t you see these skies are breaking?
Cos 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 wind and into the void
I wanna try but I get annoyed
Can’t you see these skies are breaking?
So out of the wind and into the void
I am one
I am
I am one
I am I am I am I am
I am one
I am
I am one
I am I am I am I am I am
On top of the world you get nothing done
In The Cold Light Of Morning
In cold light of morning while everyone is yawning
You’re high
In the cold light of morning the party gets boring, you're high
As your skin starts to scratch and wave yesterdays 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 drunk sick from whoring and high
Staring back from the mirrors
A face that you don’t recognise
It’s a loser a sinner a cock and a dildo’s disguise
In the cold light
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
As your skin starts to scratch
And wave yesterdays action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions
You’re high
In the cold light of day
Tomorrow’s only a king
whistle....... whistle.....
Away
In the cold light of day
Song To Say Goodbye
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 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
