Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did

All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the Earth to the Sun
Now, the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear?

Mm, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the Sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah

Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Woo
I know that someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be
Why can't it be mine?
Ah, yeah
Uh, woo-hoo

Marky got with Sharon, Sharon got Sherice
She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar, and Bobby was a rapist
They were all in love with dyin', they were doin' it in Texas

Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas, he was dancin' with a train
They were all in love with dyin', they were drinking from a fountain
That was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

Some will die in hot pursuit in fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche comin' down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

Another Mikey took a knife while arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death, he caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever present football player-rapist
They were all in love with dyin', they were doin' it in Texas

Paulie caught a bullet, but it only hit his leg
Well, it should have been a better shot, and got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin', they were drinkin' from a fountain
That was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

Listen can you hear the disaster....yeah
It's there about a quarter a mile
I just want to see you happy
I just want to see you happy

*
Falling into you, I can't afford to stay
Your late nights and voodoo
I love your evil ways
Can't sleep cause it's a long flight
and there won't be a cure tomorrow
Hang tight I'm grooving
don't you believe in anything at all

Tell me are you scared of rejection
Cause every no leaves room for a yes
And I just want to see you laughing
I just want to see you laughing

(*Repeat)


Baby I love your evil ways
Sun light, creeping through an open shade
It means a lot to me when you feel me with your eyes
There is a place for you won't you
Come and sit inside
But don't you believe in anything at all
Don't you believe in anything at all....
You just don't mind the get down
you just don't mind the pain
Everyday, everyday, everyday, yeah....

(*Repeat)

She calls me Goliath, and I wear the David mask
I guess the stones are coming too fast for her now
You know I'd like to believe this nervousness will pass
All the stones that are thrown are building up a wall

I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past
Resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance
But my old stone face can't seem to bring her down
She remembers the bridges, burns them to the ground

I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

Too heavy, too light, too black or too white
Too wrong or too right, today or tonight
Cumbersome

Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less
And I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome
No, yeah, no, no, no
No, no, no, yeah

There is a balance between two worlds
One with an arrow and a cross
Regardless of the balance, life has become
Cumbersome

Too heavy, too light, too black or too white
Too wrong or too right, today or tonight
Cumbersome

Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less
And I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome
No, yeah, no, no, no
No, no, no, yeah
No, no, no, no
Yeah
Your life has become cumbersome

Look at you
feeling all good
you can't resist
have to be all
up in it
don't it feel great
talking s***
I let it go

[chorus]
Why dont you just leave me alone
my heart's gonna break from the fall
holding onto petty things, feeling all that hate it brings
why don't you just leave me alone?

What a puss
think you're so tough
I take this s***
all I had was
love in me
it was so good
but that wasn't enough
you ripped that away

[chorus]
Why dont you just leave me alone?
my heart's gonna break from the fall
holding onto petty things, feeling all that hate it brings
why don't you just leave me alone?

All the disrespect
All from a hypocrite
All the bulls*** you took from me
YOU'RE SUCH A PIECE OF SHIT
NOTHING BUT A HERETIC!
SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF ME!
FUCKER YOU'RE DONE WITHOUT ME

[chorus]
Why dont you just leave me alone
my heart's gonna break from the fall
holding onto petty things, feeling all that hate it brings
why don't you just leave me alone?

LEAVE ME ALONE!
LEAVE ME ALONE!
LEAVE ME ALONE!
LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

When you look you
See right through me
Cut the rope
I fell to my knees
Born and broken
Every single time

Always keep me
Under finger
That's the spot
Where you run to me
Might see some type
Of pleasure in my mind

Yeah here comes the water
It comes to wash away
The sins of you and I
This time you'll see

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

When you seek me
You destroy me
Rape my mind and
Smell the poppies
Born and bloodied
Every single time

Always keep me
Under finger
That's the spot
Where you might linger
Might see some type
Of pleasure in my mind

Yeah here comes the water
It comes to wash away
The sins of you and I
This time you'll see
Like holy water
It only burns you faster
Than you'd ever dry
This time with me

-Solo-

When you look you
See right through me
Cut the rope
I fell to my knees
Born and blooded
Every single time

Yeah here comes the water
It comes to wash away
The sins of you and I
This time you'll see
Like holy water
It only burns you faster
Than you'd ever dry
This time with me

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

Sell the kids for food.
Weather changes moods.
Spring is here again.
Reproductive glands.

He's the one, he likes all our pretty songs,
And he likes to sing along,
And he likes to shoot his gun,
But he knows not what it means.
Knows not what it means when I say...
He's the one, he likes all our pretty songs,
And he likes to sing along,
And he likes to shoot his gun,
But he knows not what it means.
Knows not what it means when I say, yeah...

We can have some more.
Nature is a whore.
Bruises on the fruit.
Tender age in bloom.

He's the one, he likes all our pretty songs,
And he likes to sing along,
And he likes to shoot his gun,
But he knows not what it means.
Knows not what it means when I say...
He's the one, he likes all our pretty songs,
And he likes to sing along,
And he likes to shoot his gun,
But he knows not what it means.
Knows not what it means when I say, yeah...

He's the one, he likes all our pretty songs,
And he likes to sing along,
And he likes to shoot his gun,
But he knows not what it means.

Company, always on the run
Destiny, it's the rising sun
I was born a shotgun in my hand
Behind the gun I'll make my final stand
Yeah, that's why they call me

Bad company, I can't deny
Bad, bad company
Till the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

Rebel souls, deserters we've been called
Chose a gun and threw away the sun
Now these towns, they all know our names
The death punch sound is our claim to fame
That's why they call me

Bad company, I can't deny
Bad, bad company
Till the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
Blood for blood
We've all gotta die, we've all gotta die

And that's why they call me
Bad company, I wont deny
Bad, bad company
Until the day I die

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I drive on her streets, 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills, 'cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds, and she kisses me windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie

And I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, yeah
Yeah, yeah

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

Well, I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Well, I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah

One time

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away, yeah

Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah

Will I stay?

The more of you that I inspect
The more of me I see reflect
The more I try to read your lips
The more the mask you're wearing rips

But when I seek out your voice
My ears are overcome with noise
You show and tell with greatest ease
Raving impossibilities

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow

And when the story takes a twist
If folds like a contortionist
Slight of hand and quick exchange
The old tricks have been rearranged

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry

The searing of the sinew
My body fights for air
The ripping of the tissue
My lungs begin to tear
Gravity's got my bones
It pulls my flesh away

The steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face

Association that I choose
Game I inevitably lose
Governed by laws set up by me
Fracture it's jaw to let me be
A cut-out cardboard condo maze
Filled with an insubordinate race
Irrational youths stop to stare
As music rubber hosed the air

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry again
And again and again, AGAIN

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry HAOW!

I am done pretending,
You have failed to find what's left;
I will suck you dry again...
Some are not worth saving,
You are such a pretty mess;
I will choke the life within...

Now you want to take me down,
As if I even care;
I am the monster in your head...
And I thought you'd learn by now,
It seems you haven't yet;
I am the venom in your skin...
And now your life is broken!!

After the lights go out on you,
After your worthless life is through,
I will remember how you scream;
I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care...

I am suffocating,
You have failed to pull me in;
I will drag you down again...
Life is unrelenting,
Feeding lies into my head;
I will feed the lies you live...

Now you want to take me down,
As if I even care;
I am the monster in your head...
And I thought you'd learn by now,
It seems you haven't yet;
I am the venom in your skin...
And now your life is broken!!

After the lights go out on you,
After your worthless life is through,
I will remember how you scream;
I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care...

(Guitar Solo)

After the lights go out on you,
After your worthless life is through,
I will remember how you scream;
I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care...

I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care!!!

Feel the rhythm with your hands [Steal the rhythm while you can]
Spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own [Speak the rhythm all alone]
Spoonman

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me

All my friends are Indians [All my friends are brown and red]
Spoonman
All my friends are skeletons [They beat the rhythm with their bones]
Spoonman

Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me
Save me

With your hands

Come on come on come on

Come on when I get off
Come on when I get off...

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me
Save me

With your, with your hands

Say, hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company that lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday!

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find the money's on the other side

Can I get another amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday!

(Hey!)

(Three, four!)


Seek out to the president gas man
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass, yeah
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fires
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws, yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday

It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young and vestal then,
You know it hurt me,
But I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive
Even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
I've got my hands bound,
And my head down, and my eyes closed,
My throat's wide open.

I do unto others what has been done to me
Do unto others what has been done to you

I'm treading water,
I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyr,
You look so precious.
Won't you, won't you come on, up closer,
Close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this,
I can't stand to burn too long.
Release in sodomy.
For one sweet moment I am whole.

I do unto you now what has been done to me.
I do unto you now what has been done...

You're breathing so I guess you're still alive
Even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
Won't you, wont you come on up closer,
Close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this.
I need this to make me whole.
Release in sodomy.
For I am your witness that
Blood and flesh can be trusted.
I am your witness that
Blood and flesh can be trusted
And only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind.

Got your hands bound, your head down,
Your eyes closed.
You look so precious now.

I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
S***, blood and cum on my hands.

I've. Come. Round. Full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon.
You look so precious...
You look so precious...
You look so precious...
You look so precious...
You look so precious, now...
You look so precious...
