Lyrics


1. YOU

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

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

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

It's a song to say goodbye




2. CREEP

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special...

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.




3. HOW DO YOU ?

His banner is twistin'
He knows what he wants
He wants to be looked at
He wants to be loved
He wants us to listen
He wants us to leave
And he was a stupid baby
Turned into a powerful freak

How do you?
How do you?
How do you?

He's just like his mother
But we showed him respect
He's a dangerous bigot
But we always forget
And he's just like his daddy
Cuz he cheats on his friends
And he steals anybody's
Any way that he can

How do you?
How do you?
How do you?




4. STOP WHISPERING

And the wise man said
"I don't wanna hear your voice"
And the thin man said
"I don't wanna hear your voice"
And they're cursing me
And they won't let me be
There's nothing to say
And there's nothing to do

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

And my mother said
"Let me spit on you son some more"
And the [? building ?] said
"Let me spit on your face some more"

And the feeling is
That there's something wrong
Cuz I can't find the words
And I can't find the song

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

They said, "I have a complaint
"Can't remember what it is
"That's why I'm here"

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting




5. THINKING ABOUT YOU

Been thinking about you,
The way I cut your hair
Your eyes are on my wall,
Your teeth are over there

But I'm still no one,
And you're my star

What do you care?

Been thinking about you,
And there's no rest

Should I still love you,
Still see you in bed

When I'm playing with myself?
What do you care
When the other men are far, far better?

All the things you got,
All the things you need
I bought you cigarettes,
And pried the company
To come and see you,
Honey

I've been thinking about you, so how can you sleep?
Those people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss Your feet
They don't know what I know.
Why should you care when I'm not there?

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed
When I'm playing with myself?
What do you care when I'm not there?

All the things you got
That you'll never need
All the things you got
I bled and
I bleed to please you

Been thinking
About you...




6. ANYONE CAN PLAY GUITAR

Destiny...
Destiny protect me from the world
Destiny...
Hold my hand, protect me from the world

Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

As the world does turn
And if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach
With my guitar
I wanna be in a band
When I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't
Be a nothing anymore

Grow my hair...
grow my hair
I am Jim Morrison
Grow my hair...
I wanna be wanna be wanna be Jim Morrison

Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

As the world does turn
And if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach
with my guitar
I wanna be in a band
When I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't
Be a nothing anymore




7. RIPCORD

Soul destroyed with clever toys for little boys
It's inevitable, inevitable, it's a soul destroyed
You feel it till you're dry
You feel it till you've had enough
And you don't understand

No Ripcord, no ripcord
No Ripcord, no ripcord

Airplane, do I mean what I mean
It's inevitable, inevitable, oh airplane

A thousand miles an hour
The politics of power
See you don't understand

No Ripcord, no ripcord
No Ripcord, no ripcord

La la la la...

The answer to your prayers

No Ripcord, no ripcord
No Ripcord, no ripcord




8. VEGETABLE

I never wanted anything like this
I worked hard, tried hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died long

Every time you're running out of here
Every time you're running I get the fear

I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face, no home
Your words surround me and asphyxiate
And I burn all hate

Every time you're running out on me
Every time you're running I can see

I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

The waters spray, the waters roll all over me
The waters spray, the waters roll on this tired [?]

I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself




9. PROVE YOURSELF

I can't afford to breathe
In this town
Nowhere to sit
With out a gun in my hand
Look back up to the cathode ray...

I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off...

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I want to breathe, I want to grow
I say I want it but I don't know how
I look, I bleed, I beg and pray

I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off...

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off...

Prove yourself...




10. I CAN'T

Please forget the words
That I just blurted out
It wasn't me,
It was a strange and creepy doubt

They keep drivin' in my cage
There's nothing in this world to keep the time

Even though I might,
Even though I try,
I can't

See the things that keep, keep me uninvolved
Silly words that I, that I can't live without

If you give up on me now,
I'll be gutted like I've never been before

Even though I might,
Even though I try,
I can't

If you give up on me now,
I'll be gutted like I've never been before

Even though I might,
Even though I try,

I can't




11. LURGEE

I feel better,
I feel better now you've gone

I got better,
I got better, I got strong

I feel better,
I feel better, now there's nothing wrong

I got better,
I got better, I got strong

Tell me something,
Tell me something I don't know

Tell me one thing,
Tell me one thing, let it go

I got something,
I got something heaven knows

I got something,
I got something I don't know




12. BLOW OUT

In my mind
All the time killin' what I feel
And everything I took

All I took while she
All I took while she was crying

Just a start...

And everything I took

All I took while she
All I took while she was crying

I infuse just in case I blow out
I am plain just in case I crack up

Everything I took turns to stone

All I took while she
All I took while she was crying
