Blake Babies lyrics

Alright

How is it on the inside? They say you can't see the sun.
Do they lock all the doors at night? Did they take away your farm?
Do they stare at you? Do they make you talk?
Do they watch you every hour?
Wish I could hold you up, but I don't have the power.
Will you really be alright?, Promise me you'll sleep tonight.
Get back up off the ground., Stop falling down.
They're slowly sucking from your bloodstream day by day.
Your eyes are tired and I don't like to look at you that way.
Bodies are walking back and forth. You can hear them moan.
Wish I could give you hope, but I can't do it alone.
Will you really be alright?, Promise me you'll sleep tonight.
Get back up off the ground., Stop falling down.
Will you really be alright?, Maybe you'll come home tonight.
Get yourself up off the ground., Stop falling down.

Baby Gets High

I don't need a lesson
Don't put that on yourself
These things just aren't that simple and I don't want the help
And every time I try to hide, I get caught from way inside
And I walk down the aisle like some stupid bride
Please don't ask me why baby gets so high
And what could baby mean?
It's just her little scene
Please don't have me try pull answers from the sky
There's nothing I can say to make it go away
What makes baby get so high?
We're watching from my roof for that special sign
They finally give the signal and we all get in line
And every time I try to hide, I get caught from way inside
And I walk down the aisle like some stupid bride
Please don't ask me why baby gets so high
And what could baby mean?
It's just her little scene
Please don't have me try pull answers from the sky
There's nothing I can say to make it go away
What makes baby get so high?

Better 'N You (rain)

You're lost beneath the sea
and you didn't wait for me.
You left me here, left me hangin' on.
When I knew you'd drowned,
did you think I'd wait around?
When I woke up, you were already gone.
You could waste your life feeling lonely
or you could waste your life feeling pain.
When you carry the weight
of one too many yesterdays,
you won't know to come in from the rain.
You dug your own grave.
You've got no life left to save.
You're always saying, saying you can't go on.
Well, I've been beneath the sea
and I couldn't hardly see.
When I woke up, you were already gone.
I've wasted time feeling lonely.
I've wasted half my life feeling pain.
But at least I feel the weight upon my shoulder.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
You won't know to come in from the rain.

Boiled Potato

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
I'm three years younger than you.
Oh, potato, if only you knew,
Boiled potato.

I had a hole in my heart
And you landed on my plate.
Now, I feel all weak in the knees.
Was it something I ate?

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
I don't know what to do.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

You make me hate myself.
You make me feel like a bubbling fool.
I'm stupid and ugly.
You're superior and cool.

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
How many times I think of you.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

I'm glad I met ya',
My boiled potato.
I wanna' show you to the world,
To everyone I know.

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
Whenever I think, I think of you.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

(Anywhere you be)
(Be alone with me)

Oh, potato, if you only knew,
I don't know what to do.
Oh, potato, if you only knew,
What I think of you.

Brain Damage

Someone, quick, put something on my mind
Surrounded by the somethings that you said
I've done all the drugs that I can buy
And borrowed all the books I haven't read
Well-worn paths, a glass of warm white wine
Getting older and I'm cutting it too fine
Something about surroundings you once said
The brain damage is all in your head
It's all in your head
Someone, quick, put something on my mind
Surrounded by the somethings that you said
I've done all the drugs that I could find
And borrowed all the books I haven't read
Well-worn paths, a glass of warm white wine
Getting older and I'm cutting it so fine
Something about surroundings you once said
The brain damage is all in your
The brain damage is all in your head
It's all in your head...

Bye

There could be something to the higher star.
You lie to him and you know who we are.
Did I amuse you with my operating hand?
With a dance and a kiss and a bottle of wine.

We have an education. Not to lose a day.
The single measure of his coming cry.
We have a feeling. Turn things up.
I'll be leaving if you're high. Can I give you a call?

If you'll give me a call, I may need to remember,
What I had a finger in in mid-September.
I guess you're really full heart too,
But our love gave it all.

Can I give you a call?
Can I give you a call?
Can I give you a call?
Can I give you a call?

Rolling Stones are a Beatles' greatest friend.
Some of the things are just too good to end.
I guess this is you so no one told
And when they give you all the rules they say it's time to get old
And about three,
Won't you please set a place for me?
Don't remember the words to this song.
When I go home we'll all play along.
You gimme' a car and the keys to your pad.
And you go and feel with me to mid-September.
And last year a mohawk too,
But I loved it all.

Can you give me a call?
Yeh, can you give me a call?
Yeh, can you give me a call?
Can you give me a call?

Can you give me a call when you need a friend to count on,
When all you're really thinking 'bout is Miss September?
I missed you and your broke heart too,
But I loved it all.

Can you give me a call?
Can you give me a call?
Can you give me a call?
Can you give me a call?

Cespool

they took it away, they won't put it back.
they made all the water turn to black.
their deed is washed up on my shore.
it was better the way it was before.
check out this place I used to go.
none of my children'll ever know. never know.
something's wrong but it could be right.
it's not like the day turning into night.
i'll tell you about it, i'll take you there.
you think about it but you don't dare.
to act for what we all deserve.
all we need is a little nerve.
lot of nerve.
they'd do almost anything if the price was right enough.
well I might do anything to clean it up.
they took it away, they're not gonna put it back.
they think they got me in a trap.
but there's one thing I'm prepared to do
to make this cesspool as good as new.
i'll get my guns and both of my friends.
we'll make some righteous amends.
maybe we'll start a trend.
take it, this cesspool.
make it good as new.
take it, this cesspool.
make it good as new.

Civil War

I'd really love to turn it off, but they all know my name
It's funny when you realize that you are a cliche
When you don't have anything to say you can make it up
There's only five emotions and they all can kill you
So I like to numb myself
It's quiet and familiar
When you don't have anything to say, you can make it up
When I get into bed
There's a war in my head and there's five hundred dead
When you don't have anything to say, you can make it up

Dead And Gone

it was geting cold and I felt like i was drifting away.
so I pulled the wool over my eyes it was heavy and warm
and when you acted like this was how it was supposed to be
I really let it cover me.
but soon as you're dead and gone i'll see
what wasn't always clear to me.
i will be free to bury you.
i looked into the sunny expanse of the sky
then I took one look at you and I knew that it was time for something to die.
I'm giving back the sugar that you offered up
it covers up the ache and the cavity
but it's not enough
as Soon as you're dead and gone i'll see
what wasn't always clear to me
i will be free to bury you forever
Now that you're dead and gone I'll take back
All that I always thought I knew
They'd be the best things I can do

Dissapear

I don't want to hear his name
It only makes me feel ashamed of those wasted days
And when I see his face I wish that I could make him disappear
My guitar was getting trashed so I made him give it back
Now he won't let up, saying I took his stuff
I wish that he would just disappear
You can't say I'm anti-everything
I just don't think the whole world owes him something
He's been talking to my friends
I hope they don't invite him in again
What I wouldn't do: go back to '92 and erase the moment I met you
And make you disappear

Don't Suck My Breath

Bless my soul, what's wrong with me?
Everybody hates me.
Take me with a grain of salt.
Everything bad will be my fault.
Angel bright life and death.
Get off the world. don't suck my breath.
Don't suck my breath.
Cloud of doom on my head,
land on someone else instead.
Your voice is all around.
Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?
No matter, no form. I can't grab on
to me or you or anyone.
I wanna float back to my friends.
I wanna come back home again.
Angel bright life and death.
Why don't you get off the world?
Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?
Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?
Oooh.
Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?

Downtime

Oh, please help me, doctor, I'm about to lose my mind.
Just trying to pass the time, I'm about to lose my mind.
Anything goes away in time.

Oh, please help me, doctor, I'm about to lose my skin.
(Sun is shining, sun is shining on my skin)
How will I keep my insides in, I'm about to lose my skin.
Everything runs away in time.

Can I turn and hold it down?
Make it stop spinnin' around.

Oh, Jesus, I'm about to lose my girl, I don't need your word.
I count every hour.
Everything burns away in due time.
Ahhhhhhhhh!

I'm about to lose my mind, trying to pass the time
I'm about to lose my mind.
Everything falls away in time.

From Here To Burma

Thick as a wooden block, white-walled tire.
Thin as a blade of grass, pointed spire.
From here to Burma, The time it takes to get to you.
From here to Burma, How far it is from me to you.
Black as three a.m., chocolate swirl.
White as milk and snow, mother-of-pearl.
From here to Burma, The time it takes to get to you.
From here to Burma, How far it is from me to you.

Gimme Some Mirth

All kind of shit came close to home.
You're not safe unless you always sleep alone.
I don't have to worry 'cause I had a single bed.
All I have to worry about is the ache in my head.
gimme some mirth
gimme some mirth
gimme some mirth
gimme some mirth
And the ache in my stomach, That rips it up.
And all the hidden messages, You never think up.
You're the one who hears me, When I try to call
You would only give some,
But I would keep it all.
gimme some mirth.
gimme some mirth.
gimme some mirth.
gimme.Gimme gimme gimme.
Shake, skake, oh!
gimme' Billy, Bobby, TV!
gimme some mirth, Just a touch.
gimme some mirth, I don't ask for much.
gimme some mirth, Just enough, Gimme.

Girl In A Box

I've got a girl in a box, Keep her under my bed.
It sure must get hot in the summertime.
I get her out when there's nothing else to do.
And there's nothing on TV, When I can't see you.
Wife don't mind if I give her a child.
My wife don't mind. She thinks it's pretty wild
I've got this girl in a box, I got a girl in a box.
I'll keep her 'till the day
I'll keep her 'till the day
I'll keep her 'till the day That I die.
And I hope I die in the nighttime
With my TV on and a beer in my hand
And you by my side.
I got a girl in a box, We play games. I'm anything I'm not,
But I wanna be, Yeah, I wanna be.
She'll be a slut, Or a dirty little whore.
Or the girl next door, Or my bride instead.
Or I'll cut off her head, If I want to, Yeah, I want to.
I'll keep her 'till the day
I'll keep her 'till the day
I'll keep her 'till the day That I die.
I've got a girl in a box. I got a girl in a box.

Grateful

Somebody gave me this song, I just supplied the links.
I don't like to sit too long, for fear that I might sink.
I don't like to fly too far, for fear that I might fall.
Why can't I be steady?, Is there no middle ground at all?
Aaaall... Aaaall... Aaaall...
I need too much sleep., The days are always hazy.
Maybe I'll wake up some day, or maybe I'll get crazy.
Don't complain, You have it all.
All there is is this, Don't ever blink - just think
of what you might miss.
Miiiiss... Miiiiss... Miiiiss...
I have to go vomit now
but my mother isn't calling.
I don't like cliffs or roofs -
I'm scared of jumping and falling
Yesterday was years ago.
I don't remember when I grew.
It might stop today so can I
spend the time with you?
Youuuu... Youuuu... Youuuu...
When I die, will I get to see
everyone crying over me?
When I die, will I get to see
everyone crying over me?
When I die, will I get to see
everyone crying over me?

Her

I went to her house, she had relics everywhere
From her line she said to him, things she couldn't share
Said that she had died before, i couldn't quite believe her
She always seem concerned about how i would percieve her

She held onto her memories
She had a fruited seed
She always seemed corruptible
Her house was always clean
She used to walk with confidence, style, down and empty street
Now she just walks quickly, staring at her feet.

Then I saw her yesterday
She still seemed really proud
Her eyes were red her brain was dead
She was talking really loud
She caught a look at me with the corner of her eye
I left town in a submarine
Before I made her cry

I'll Take Anything

Feel like a slob who lives for the day
When a winning ticket pay is made.
Caught with my butt hanging out of my pants.
Wait for some kind of lucky chance.
But nothing ever comes to those who wait.
That's why I'm wasting away in front of that empty plate.
I say I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger, today.
I look out of the window from my bed.
I weigh all my options, but not one comes out ahead.
You'd think there'd be something,
Oh, I'll take anything.
I look up to the heavens and over at the phone.
Most of what I had is gone.
But I still got my TV,
It makes me feel I'm not alone.
I said nothing's good and nothing's bad.
Everything's just kind of sad.
I kind of hope for an accident,
So I can go to sleep.
I look at all my buddies and what's left of the family.
They're not what I want to be.
Not whom I want to see.
You'd think there'd be something,
Oh, I'll take anything.
Wasn't always this way.
I used to know how to use the day.
Maybe I can shake this funk.
And get out before I'm sunk.
You'd think there'd be something,
Oh, I'll take anything.

I'm Not Your Mother

People think you're tough,
but you only pretend to be.
A real man would live alone
and feel no pain, like me.
When your baby said she was leaving
you slapped yourself in the face.
You clung to her and cried
and cracked all over the place.
Because you're a weakling.
You're a suckling lamb.
You're not so tough.
You're just a man.
I was only talking when I said to you
whatever it was I said.
I didn't mean anything.
Just put it out of your head.
Now you look to me like I'm ready to give
but I only just wanted to play.
You're trying to cop a feeling
while I'm trying to get away.
You're a big guy, but you're cut down to size
when you're left all by yourself.
Well I'm not paid to babysit
and don't ask me to help.
Let go of me and fall
into the arms of another
I'm the wrong girl for you.
I'm not your mother.
I'm an island. I'm a rock.
My head's an emtpy mental block.
You can't get lovin' from a stone.
I ain't no goddam foster home.
You're a weakling.
You're a suckling lamb.
You're not so tough.
You're just a man.
You're a weak thing.
Just a little lamb.
You're not so tough.
You're just like a woman.
Anything you can do I can do better
Girls will do it all without the aid of a mother.
Anything you can do I can do better
Girls will do it all without the aid of a mother.
Anything you can do I can do do.
I'm not your mother. I'm not your mother.

Invisible World

I see an invisible world in the eyes of a beautiful girl
The promise of a foreign place, the sadness in a perfect face
You know it's tearing me apart, the loneliness inside my heart and you.
The emptiness of infinite space, a sigh of irresistable grace
The magic of a perfect kiss, to lose yourself in selflessness
The colors of the soul unfurled the beauty of the physical world in you.
Tell me something
I feel nothing but my own skin
Cold against the rain, against the wind
I just want to feel myself again
See
Feel
Never been so real
Never been so near
Never would have guessed
Like a butterfly at best
A caterpillar blessed when you come undressed, yeah.
I see an invisible world in the eyes of a beautiful girl
I see
Yeah

Julius Fast Body

Julius fast body he be free
Tell me how he flies
The trees and mailboxes he don't even see
In a blur the falcon waves right by

He was born much faster than me
But I don't know why
They way he go like a bumble bee
I wish for the means to try

Julius fast body, teach me a trick
Learn me the tools of your trade
Look man, I mean it, come here (a minute?) and explain it?
Don't be afraid

But he keep on goin' and stick with it
He knows he got it made

He's got it made...

Kiss And Make Up

You can have my undivided attention.
I'll give you everything and then some.
Now, don't you wanna, don't you wanna kiss and make up?
Whatever I did, I won't do it again.
I'll die for you, just say when.
I'll forget about what you've done.
Now come on, I'm in no shape to be left alone.
Now, don't you wanna, don't you wanna kiss and make up?
Forgetting what else I'll have to say.
Evil, yes I've seen it.
But for now put your torture tools away,
And love me like you mean it.
When you walk out the door, please don't be long.
You know I can't stand when you are gone.
Oh, please let's kiss and make up.
Ooh, you're acid rain.
Why'd you have to try and bring me pain.
I ask you from down on scraped-up knees,
Come and put my mind at ease.
Let me do my thing.
Bring me something good to eat.
Lay me down again and you'll see,
The power you have over me.
Power you have over me.
Over me.

Lament

You told me all about you, without ever saying a word.
Every time you opened your mouth
it was my voice that I heard.
At least that's what I thought, or maybe I'm just lonely,
believing every minute of every day
that you're the very only.
You led me on 'cause all your songs,
were stuck on to my heart.
Why don't you finish what you start?
People wishing I'd come back,
I don't want to change like that people crying for old days
I don't want to change that way
Before, you had to sing your songs -
there was nothing else you could do.
Well, I know all about it, 'cause I do it too.
I waited and waited and waited and waited
for you to return again
and when you finally resurfaced
it was like I'd lost my best friend.
You led me on 'cause all your songs, were really dear to me.
I wish your words were still clear to me.
People wishing I'd come back,
I don't wanna change like that people crying for old days
I don't wanna change that way
It's a fact and I can't fight it - it will always be unrequited.
If I had a bullet, I would bite it.
If you didn't mean it, why'd you write it?
It will always be unrequited.
If I had a bullet, I would bite it.
You can't come back that many times.
There's no such thing as a dull roar.
I promise I'll never make you wish, it was like it was before.
I'll stop it before it gets like that.
It doesn't matter how.
You'll only have good memories.
The only time is now.
People wishing I'd come back
I don't wanna change like that
people crying for old days
I don't wanna change that way.
People wishing I'd come back
I don't wanna do that
People crying for old days
I don't wanna change that way.

Let Them Eat Chewy Granola Bars

We'll milk the chickens, pluck the cows.
Milk the chickens, pluck the cows.
Put the dirty clothes in the drawer.
Put the dirty clothes in the drawer.
Move backwards at the bell.
Move backwards at the bell.
Move closer to the floor.
Move closer to the floor.

Milk the chickens, pluck them cows.
Milk the chickens, pluck them cows.
Walk into the door.
Walk into the door.
Watch them all bow.
Watch them all bow.
Well, he cried out for more.
He cried out for more.

Look Away

You are, you're beautiful when you're mad.
You are, you're beautiful when you're crazy.
Crazy like the time you took,
To talking slow, letting no one know,
Of your whereabouts.
You said, there's nothing to explain,
Just count me out.
I get along without you when you look away.
I dream up things about you when you look away.
You are, you're pitiful when you beg.
Please.
You are, you're pitiful when your head is on my leg.
Telling me that you dream of me,
I'd much rather you scream at me.
I get blue when you lean on me.
When you let me know that you need me.
(repeat to fade)
I get along without you when you look away.
I dream up things about you when you look away.
I get along without you when you look away.

Loose

I took a ride with a pretty music.
I went down and, Baby, you can tell...uh-huh.
I took a ride with pretty music,
Now I'm putting it to you straight from hell.

I'll stick it deep inside.
I'll stick it deep inside,
'Cause I'm loose.

I feel fine with dancin', Baby.
I feel fine, I'm gonna' shake it, Lou...woooo!
I'm real fine with dancin', Baby,
'Cause it's love, yeah, I do believe.

I'll stick it deep inside.
I'll stick it deep inside,
'Cause I'm loose.

I took a ride...pretty baby.
I went down...Baby, you can tell.
I took a ride...pretty baby.
And I'm all...straight from hell.

And I will stick it deep inside.
And I'll stick it...huh.
'Cause I'm loose, 'cause I'm loose, 'cause I'm loose.

A Million Years

I promise not to touch. I'll let you be.
I just want to watch you when you sleep.
I promise I will go away if you promise not to leave.
Close my mouth, cause it's no use.
There aren't any words to speak the truth.
Blow it all away and begin again.
Start all over you with my friend.
Are there any ways to make you cry? If I knew,
I definitely would try.
I'll wait here for a million years.
You know that you can take my love away.
Keep tearing off little pieces every day.
Soon there'll be nothing left of me for you to hate.
I'll wait here for a million years.
Here, here, here...

Nirvana

I shut the windows and close the store,
I lay down on the bathroom floor, Everyone I know is a bore
I'm starting to think that everything stinks
That I could really use a drink
Then I got up and hit my head on the sink
Father father father father, Do you call
Father father father, Should I end it all
Now, here comes the song I love so much
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up
Now, I got nirvana in my head, I'm so glad I'm not dead
I slam my hand in the car door
I scream till I could scream no more
Bloody and mean and rotten to the core
Father father father father, Do you call
Satan Satan Satan, Should I end it all
You try to get off the ground
But you always end up coming down
When the sound comes around and goes in your ears
You can do anything you have no fears
When that sound comes around and goes in my ears
I can do anything I have no fears
Now, here comes the song I love so much
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up
I got nirvana in my head
I'm so glad I'm not dead
Here comes the song, I love it so much
Makes me wanna go fuck shit up
Now, I got nirvana in my head
I'm so glad I'm not dead

Not Just A Wish

not just a wish but a place to go
and it's not a sunhouse though

not just a wish but a place to play
at the end of your working day

not just a wish but a place for flight
and a chance for something real this night

not just a wish but a show you hair,
hats and picks and cold underwear

not just a wish but some airs like mine
people say I'm bound to all the time

not just a wish but find me some fun
food and booze for everyone

Nothing Ever Happens

Left after the weeping willow tree
Right past my house down the alley
To the chair in the room where I live and breathe
I live and breathe
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
You can't miss what you never ever had
But I'm missing something pretty bad
Don't know now exactly where you are
Down the alley, the headlights of a car
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
Nothing ever happens to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
There's a world out there
There's a world in here
There's a world out there
Down the alley, yeah, down the alley
Nothing ever happens to me.

On

I never did you wrong
But it makes a better song
Than you were off and I was on
Your twilight is my dawn
You take too long
I got off, but you go on
Call the nurse
She can stick it in you
Does it hurt to be young and beautiful, like Neil and Jennifer?
You're bitter and depressed
You're faking your own death
Another wasted breath on everything I said
It's better in a song
On

Out There

You drive around aimlessly.
Don't know what you hope to see.
You know it's stupid.
I see you when I pass you by.
I'm afraid to meet your eye.
I know it's stupid.
You have a voice, you have a phone,
but you're usually alone.
You know it's stupid.
I have a body and a brain,
but I turn them off again and again.
I know it's stupid.
There's nothin' to do.
It's so hard to talk to you.
And people never do what they want to.
I don't know what and I don't know where.
But I know it's out there.
It must be out there somewhere.
I'm gonna leave this place.
I'm gonna leave this life of waste.
I'm gonna put on a new face.
Where was I before?
I'm not there anymore.
Went away and tried to come back.
Maybe I shouldn't have done that.
There's nothin' to do.
It's so hard to talk to you.
And people never do what they want to.
I don't know what and I don't know where.
But I know it's out there.
It must be out there somewhere.
There's nothin' to do.
It's so hard to talk to you.
And people never do what they want to.
I don't know what and I don't know where.
There's nothing out there.
It's not out there anywhere.
I'm gonna leave this town.
Gonna leave it like I fount it.
Gonna turn myself around.

Outta My Head

It's my island. Get off.
It's where I'll live.
I'll shake your face off my mind.
There'll be no trace of your kind.
I'll put it outta my head. It's all I can do.
Nothing ever happens. Where are you?
I'll try not to think. Today's a new day.
I'll waste my time some other way.
I had a feeling or so I thought.
What seems true is often not.
I'll take my body and go away
and if I want to, I can stay.
I'll put it outta my head. It's all I can do.
Nothing ever happened. Who are you?
I'll try not to think. Today's a new day.
I'll waste my time some other way.
I'll put it outta my head. It's all I can do.
Nothing ever happened. Where are you?
I'll try not to think. Today's a new day.
I'll waste my time some other way.

Over And Over

At night when the sky is clear and the moon is shining down,
My heart goes running back to you,
I love the way you open up and let me in,
So I go running back to you,
Over and over again.

Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you,
Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you.

Remember the nights of love and that moment on the beach,
That wasn't really too long ago,
But we paid the price of time, and now it's out of reach,
And so the broken circle go,
Over and over again.

Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you,
Over and over again my love,
Over and over again with you.

Over and over again my love, my love
Over and over again with you, you
Over and over again my love, love
Over and over again with you

Picture Perfect

She's the window to my soul to let in the sun
Like two pieces of a whole could truly become one
She's my favorite shade of blue
The verdant glow of spring
Every color, every hue
Could be my everything
Can you picture perfect?
Can you make the moment stay?
Take a picture, perfect
I know it can always be like this day
She's the moment in the song that shivers down my spine
When it lasts the whole night long it's easy to define
Can you picture perfect?
Can you make the moment stay?
Take a picture, perfect
I know it can always be like this day

Sanctify

Another way to go, The weight won't show.
A cheapskate's guide to the kissing zone.
I didn't come back.
Baby don't you know that all when I do.
I'll make some buildings fall.
Will the pieces stick to you?,
Can they bring you back to size?
If I tear a hole straight through,
Will you pretend to be alive?
Make a fire in the quiet sky.
Kick a boy and teach him how to cry.
A heavy metal rain upon your head.
A burning blast to bring you back from the dead.
You used to kill me with your smile, I'll be back in a while
To take you out in style.
Will the pieces stick to you?,
Can they bring you back to size?
If I tear a hole straight through,
Would you pretend to be alive?
Make a fire in the quiet sky. Sky.
Kick a boy and teach him how to cry.
I'll make some buildings fall.
Will the pieces stick to you?
Can they bring you back to size?
If I, if I tear a hole straight through,
Would you pretend to be alive?
Make a fire in the quiet sky. Sky.
Kiss a boy and teach him how to cry.

Severed Lips

I wanna help you, I sense you're riding pretty low
I got the feeling, When your hair hits the ceiling
And there's something babe, You oughta know
I won't cry if you won't buy
But if were both kinda stumbling
Maybe I'll say "Hi", That's my best, I never try that much
'Cos I'm scared of feeling that healing touch
You gotta get through my maze, and passively test
'Cos I'm choosing one love to, Tattoo across my chest
You know, the time has come, I ain't gonna fester no more
Let the world be free of my disease, I never knew a rubber doll
Would be so hard to please, Now I'm reachin out
One last burst before I retract
No one will know until I finally let go
Of the one thing I ain't gonna never get back
I wanna help you, Baby, can't you see?
You're better than my pillow
'Cos you don't stain so easily, oh no
You know it's hard just to finally let go
And leave all the pictures behind
Hope I brought you some happiness
I believe I just had to get on
It just wasn't the world I was hoping to find...

Star

Your ring me up and you bring me down.
I never know if you'll come around.
I like the salty taste in my mouth.
Ten minutes on the lips, ten days without.
If I were a star, Would you look at me
When you're lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?
What would you say if I shined at night?
If everyone wanted a piece of my life?
Would you say the name?, Would you finally be,
The guy who can't get enough of me?
If I were a star, Would you think of me
When you're lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?
Just think of what I could be
And not what I am.
The envy of every woman,
The dream of every man.
If I were a star, Would you look at me
When we're lying there in the dark?
If I called on you from far away,
Would you say the things I want you to say?

Steamie Gregg

Oh you like so fine in your shaven head.
Not a hairdo but a hat instead.
Your shadow dances on that tv
like no one did before.
You never look into the camera at me.
You're hiding something for sure.
Ooooh, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg.
Do you dream about me like I think about you?
You know that we'll meet someday.
You like me a lot and I'll move to your town.
We'll live happily forever that way.
Ooooh, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg.
Laugh a little and sing some more.
Your sparkling eyes are only yours.
