Let me tell you this story about this ambidextrous talk show host that
I used to live with who once told me that the sky was green.
I didn't believe him so I hit back with a short sharp shot, disco me to oblivion baby.
He uh, couldn't appreciate my sense of humor and that's when we started to grow apart.

Strange
Feeling
Pain
Feeling
Wretched
Oh
My soul

No pain
No gain

Well things didn't improve for our relationship when
I was seduced by his wife and then I fell in love with his daughter.
And I can't help who I fall in love with, ok?
Then one day I accidently castrated his prized poodle with an electric can opener. Oucha!
He kicked me out of the house and he burnt all my pictures of this sweet
If it don't hurt
It don't work
No
I was alone but that was only the beginning
Said I was alone but that was only the beginning
Yeah I was alone but that was only the beginning
I was alone but that was only the beginning
Strange
Feeling
Pain
Feeling
It's wretched
Oh
My soul

36 Degrees
I see light
And it hurts
As silver turns to blue
Waxing with the candlelight
And burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment
Stick it in a box
I've always been this paranoid
But I'm still breathing

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

And these eyes
Are born blind
Lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold
And all I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstance
A healthy dose of luck
I've always been an introvert
As a kid I was beaten

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

4 7 2 3 9 8 5
I've gotta breathe to stay alive
And 1 4 2 9 7 8
Feels like I'm gonna suffocate
14 16 22
The skin that turns to blister blue

Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm 36 degrees


Allergic (To Thoughts of Mom)
Any means in your horizon
Impotent and far away
The eyes are tired of every making
You take today
With expert levitation forward
Polished to the Nth Degree
It takes it's smile from every children
You take the beating

Any means in your horizon
Every mink walks two by two
The eyes are tired of heavy breaking
You wanted to
With expert levitation forward
Polished to the Nth Degree
It takes it's smile from every children
You take the beating

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

Cast a line 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, encore, encore, encore, encore
Plus bas, encore, plus fort, encore (x2)

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

Bulletproof Cupid (demo)
Everything’s forgotten
Everything’s so rotten
Why don’t you release me?
Why don’t you just tease me?

I don’t think I need you anymore
I don’t think I need another whore
I just feel like you should wait
Time will tell before it’s too late
When all is said and done you
Just ain’t no fun to be with

You’re my bulletproof cupid
You’re my little stupid
You’re my fluctuated
You’re my inspector gadget
You’re my new toy to play with
You’re my toy boy to be with
You’re my bulletproof cupid
Just a little too stupid

Everything is taken
Everything’s awakened
Why don’t you reject me?
Why don’t you just infect me?

I don’t think I want this anymore
I don’t think I want another whore
I just feel like we should wait
Time unfolds then it’s too late
When all is said and done you
Can’t be the one to run with

You’re my bulletproof cupid
You’re my little stupid
You’re my incarcerated
You’re my fortune faded
You’re my new tool to play with
You’re my new fool to be with
You’re my bulletproof cupid
Still that little bit stupid

Eyesight to the Blind
You don't know me, and you never hold me
like your little piece on the side.
My mother told me, that you're never lonely
when you're laughing all the time.

Inside out and outside in
you bring eyesight to the blind.
Crying is a crime.

Slowing down the metronome
slowing down.
Slowing down the metronome
slowing down.

You don't know me, and you never hold me
like your little boy in blue.
My father told me, that you're always lonely
when they're all laughing at you.

Inside out and outside in
you bring jesus to the jew.

Slowing down the metronome
slowing down.
Slowing down the metronome
slowing down.

You don't know me, and you never hold me
like your little piece on the side.

Inside out and outside in
you bring eyesight to the blind


Flesh Mechanic
He tries to embrace her
she wants him to race her
He needs a laser
to get it through her skull
means and lies and hatreds
tears that fall in sequence
Cold caress imprints
Conversation growing dull

Says he's a poet
Lousy protozoan
and he kisses ass for free
I took a vow of silence
When he tries to talk to me
I just turn on the tv

He tries to impress her, mentally undress her
it takes more to possess her
but in his pocket lies a hole
He's got a thousand talents
charisma by the bagful
Aristocratic parents
A rebel with a heart of gold

Says he's a poet
This time he's gonna blow it
'cause he's dancing with his ego
I took a vow of silence
When he reads his work to me
I swallow words like a
placebo

He's strutting with your flesh mechanic
Gets him in a panic
He's wasting time
'cause everybody is a star
In his eyes

Careful not to give your favours
To your lonesome fucked-up neighbours
I had one who sent me her heart
In a tupperware container
All the movies in my head
they flicker with my bleeding heart
a careless slipping of the tongue
on just another private part

Blatant search for
Stoned affection
Fights the lust that
Breeds infection
Meet me at the intersection
don't forget your
fuel injection

He's strutting with your flesh mechanic
gets him in a panic
he's wasting time
'cause everybody is a star
in his eyes

You think this love is bona fide
you're being taken for a ride
wrap your lip around your head
And slowly blow yourself away.

Hang on to you IQ (early version,1994)
Tonight
Touch me when our passion's through
That's right
They're all dead I'd hate to miss you
Feeling so much older
Now my body's colder
Tonight
You crush me like I was a boulder

It takes two to piss in faces
Keeps alive but leaves no traces
Trigger shoots like violent chases
In this depth is my oasis

Hang on to your IQ
Hang on to your ID
Hang on to your IQ
And please hang on to me

Tonight
Don't speak my name
Tonight
Let's break the rules of this boring game
Some key morning
And I'll get used to slashing back and choking
Tonight
When you said you loved me you were joking

It takes two to piss in faces
Keeps alive but leaves no traces
Trigger shoots like violent chases
In this depth is my oasis

Hang on to your IQ
Hang on to your ID
Hang on to your IQ
And please hang on to me

Careful not to give your favors
To the lonely housewife neighbors
I had one who one sent me her heart
In a tupperware container
Don't you dare touch my stash
And give me cigarette ash
Nothing tastes as sweet as incest
In this empire of the senses
Singing songs not meant to be sung
Beating like my bleeding heart
Careless slipping of the tongue on
Just another private part
Rabid search for stoned affection
Fights the lust that breeds infection
Meet me at the intersection
Don't forget your fuel injection

I Do
I wanna be much more like you
Your effortlessly graceful scene
That drips from every pore of you
A human form of dopamine

I wanna take a bath with you
And wash the chaos from my skin
I wanna fall in love with you
So how do we begin

I wanna be much more like you
The way your smile lights up the room
I'll relax since men flirt with you
To jealously I'll stay immune
This confidence in me and you
This hope that you and I will bloom
I wanna fall in love with you

I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do

I wanna be a girl like you
The way you swing your hips in jeans
I wanna wear my face like you
Shiseido MAC and Maybelline
I wanna paint the town with you
And tickle you until you scream
I wanna fall in love with you

I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do

The question is do you
The question is do you

In the Cold Light of Morning
In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning you're high
As your skin starts a scratchin'
Wave yesterday's action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions and stolen possessions
You're high
In the cold light of day

In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning you're high (x3)
As your skin starts a scratching wave yesterday's action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions and stolen possessions
You're high
In the cold light of day

Tomorrow's only a kettle whistle away

In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning you're high

Kangaroo Died
Well the doctor keeps me waiting
The blood in my brain
The pain in my chest

Oh, oh, oh ooh
Only happens when it's raining
The smoke in my lung
The beer in my gut

Oh, oh, oh, ooh
Feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here

Oh, oh, oh ooh
Feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here

Oh, oh, oh ooh
It's a nightmare in the alley
The undertaker's there
With his bowler hat

Oh, oh, oh ooh
And his coffin eyes are empty
The ex-wife she's there too
Grinning like a Cheshire cat

Oh, oh, oh ooh
And I'm feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here

Oh oh oh ooh
Feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here

Oh oh oh ooh
I'm trying to buy a drink
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know, I don't know
Well the priest is at the pulpit
Telling me I'm wrong
Telling me I'm sickening

Oh, oh, oh, ooh
To believe him is to forfeit
Everything I am
And everything I'll never be

Oh, oh, ooh
So I'm feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here

Oh, oh, oh, ooh
Feeling like a motherfuck
The only way is down from here

Oh oh ooh
I'm trying to buy a drink
But the barmaid's cross-eyed
Why'd they let her work here
Hell I just don't know
I find it hard to think
Since my kangaroo died
Why'd she have to leave me
Hell I just don't know, I don't know
Always were the waters
Deep inside your heart
Always wanted to return
To your body
But I'm not sure I can

Kitsch Object
Just like every lichen, how you stick to me
If your luck is dying, go and plant a tree
With artistic license, always comes for free
Just like every lichen, how you stick to me
Snook your way backstage
Paris sets the rage
coursing on your brain
so now I slip away
Just like every lichen, how you stick to me
If your luck is dying, go and plant a tree
With artistic license, always comes for free
Just like every lichen, how you stick to me
Weightless.. Bare.. Faithless... Scared
Know that bitches face??
All seen better days
So quick to blow your fuse
But that's the life you choose
Just like every lichen, how you stick to me
If your luck is dying, go and plant a tree
With artistic license, always comes for free
Just like every lichen, how you stick to me
Weightless.. Bare.. Faithless... Scared
Snook yourself backstage
Paris sets the rage
coursing on your brain
so now I slip away
Just like every lichen, how you stick to me
If your luck is dying now, go and plant a tree
With poetic license, always comes for free
Just like every lichen, how you stick to me
Weightless.. Bare.. Faithless... Scared

Long Division (demo "Multiply")
Well
I was lost in conversation
When you called
You were sick and blue
And all that I could do
Is make your fears come true

You see
I'm sick and tired of masturbation
Sick and tired of all this yacky flu
And all that I can do
Is make your fears come true

Then multiply, multiply
Your tears will multiply
Multiply

Well
I was stuck in contemplation
When you called
You couldn't get through
And all that call could do
Is make your fears come true

You see
I'm sick and tired of our confrontation
Sick and tired you stick to me like glue
And all that I can do...
Make your fears come true

Then multiply, multiply
Your tears will multiply, multiply
True love with me will die

Paycheck
Consumed by the one's who made her
She's a faker, always let's me down
Dressed up like a capital shaker
Full of ganja drugs are not put down
I'll have you're guts for garters
Just for starters
Don't you make me frown
She could've been a nutter
So I had to cut the mother down

Slacker, wasting half is life on sniffing glue
Now he's reformed, working for the red the
White and blue
Plain sailing, safe surfing
Pocket full of back stab

Confused by the one's who break her
She's a faker, never makes a sound
Undressed like a soul prayer
Buying shares, pay her by the pound
I'll have your face for breakfast
I'm in excess, neither lost nor found
She could've been a nutter
So I had to cut the mother down

Slacker, wasted half is life on speed
Now he's reformed and working for the red
The white and blue
Plain sailing, shoulder pad
Dental flossing, back stab

Pay - check, Pay - check

Save the best for later
Be careful not to stain the sheets now
You god damn liar
Take me higher

I never wanted the real thing, I never
Wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing, I never
Wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing, I never
Wanted the real thing
I never wanted the real thing

Slacker, wasted half is life on sniffing glue
Now he's reformed, working for the red the white and blue
Plain sailing, wife swapping
Stool pigeon, back stab.

Pay - check, Pay - check

Save the best for later
Be careful not to stain the sheets now
You god damn liar
Pants on fire

Cold lining to pour on me
But this one really takes the piss
It's likely to proquandry
I deserve so much more than this.

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
Wearin' a frown
Like Pierrot the clown

Saw you crashin' round 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 fists
When I dream -I dream of your kiss
When I dream - I dream of your fists
Your fists

Leave dreaming on the bed
See you right back here tomorrow
For the next round
Keep this scene inside your head
watch the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling going 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

When I dream- I dream of your lips
When I dream - I dream of your fists
When I dream -I dream of your kiss
When I dream - I dream of your fists
Your fists, your fists,your fists

Teenage Angst
Shine the headlight
Straight into my eye
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 goodbye

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
I'm petrefied
I'm still not satisfied

Well I was suicidal once
But now honestly I'm fine
I'll stick to my needle
And my favorite waste of time
Both spineless and sublime

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