Faster

Horny & burnout now is how it always ends for me
Chemicals wear me down in your summertime bacchanalian
I saw you go
Faster
Than the morning comes
She walks away like a lady
It's always the fallen ones
I think are always going to save me
I saw you go
Faster
I want to get off one time and not apologize
You got to steal from the time of a life that’s passing by

In bed she flexes her knees to try and abate the feeling
She mouths the words please to the poster on the ceiling
I saw you go
Faster
Right in front of me
She stares at him so madly
She’s got the nerve to say
She wants to fuck that boy so badly
I saw you go
Faster

I want to get off one time and not apologize
You got a steal the time from a life that’s passing by
I want to get off one time and look you in the eyes
I want to get off one time, get off one time
I was hoping you would be waiting there for me lately
I was hoping you would be waiting there for me lately
But you're not the kind who would be waiting, not for anybody
You’re not the kind of girl who would be waiting for anybody not even me
Just one more time
I could go off right now
I want to get off one time and not apologize
You got to steal the time from a life that’s passing by
Not for sale

Blinded (When I See You)


Just an old friend coming over now to visit you and
That’s what I’ve become
I let myself in though I know I’m not supposed to but
I never know when I’m done

And I see you fogging up the mirror
Vapor round your body glistens in the shower
And I want to stay right here and go down on you for an hour
Or stay, and let the day just fade away
In wild dedication, take the moment of hope
And let it run, and never look back at all the damage we have done now
To each other

Cause when I see you, it’s like I’m starring down the sun
And I’m blinded
There’s nothing left to do
Still I see you

I never believed that things they happen for a reason and
They never go as planned
I wanted to thank you for a vision that was lost that you returned but
You’re passed do you understand

Now her appetite is blown, little else is known
Except she a little angry, grabs a towel and looks away
And heat fades with the day
And I fall down on what to say,
Oh something clean let me be clever
Hey oh well whatever
But that’s not what I mean
When where we’ve been has left us burned
Still I won’t turn now from a fight you know I’ll never win

So when I see you, you know all the things I’ve done
Well I’m blinded
Like I’m staring down the sun
When I see you
It’s like I’m staring down the sun

Time passes and it tells us what we’re left with
We become the things we do
Me I’m a fool, spent from defiance, yeah you got me but
I didn’t give up on you

Icarus is not a tee shirt or a swan song, no
He is born again and it’s not easy being me
But I can’t promise I will mend or bend
When you believe that we are fixed now from our birth
And I’ve just fallen back to earth
Still you know I’ll try again
Cause I believe that we are lucky
We are golden we’re stolen manners
In the days when we were one

Chorus
So when I see you, despite all that we’ve become
I’m still blinded
But I’m still staring down the sun
When I see you
I’m blinded

Forget Myself

Could you believe it
Those sapphire eyes
The brilliant girl with the famous thighs
Then the cameras click then we are stars
Laughing in the back of chauffeured cars
Phone call rings and your voice is desire
Then winter moves into summer fires
I promised you what’s ours is ours
Somewhere backstage with Sean and Lars

I go crazy when you walk in the room
I laugh at myself with the girl in bloom
The taste of sex couldn’t be too soon
All afternoon then
LA parties in the phony lands
Phony grabs with the manicured hands
I always thought you were pretty like a whip
Should have watched my step
Cause I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who am I we both don’t know
Time ticks by, where did you go

You always knew
Where you were going to
So sweetly you said
Please come with you
The biggest fear running thru my head
You said you loved you meant what you said
I was floating, did it go to my head
We always sleep with the dogs in the bed
LA parties and the vodka fizz
This is not my life or maybe it is
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who am I we both don’t know
Time ticks by, where did you go

Oh, I made you doubt me
Oh, you’re better off without me

Think I am looking over your shoulder
Cause there’s someone younger and you’re feeling older
You’re crazy and you never faded
I don’t want to be so complicated
See my life come undone
Watch it go and let the damage run
I’d change the song now if I could
In the slickness of your blood
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Whose that guy, I don’t know
Where did you go

Danger

I met you at the barricade
It’s fever pitch where the crowd had gathered
You said the bow is breaking
You want to get some coffee or something

Float by the crowd that scatters
I found my people and nothing else matters
Bullhorns that feed back in stormy skies
No one listens but it’s so hot when you try

You’ve got a taste for danger
And it turns you on
Just take a look in your face
I know what’s going on
You got a taste for danger

Tiptoe through the riot
Vandals laced and braced for action
No sense, no consequence
You’re a green stick fracture
Bounce back at you

Chorus

Beggars stare at the brand new sneakers on the
Anarchists and celebrity speakers
These are improbable days my friends
Tomorrow’s mundane
All good things must end
And the cops told the crowd they must disperse
Your pretty eyes fall as the tear gas burst
Here come the horses and we move along
Promise I’ll see you but the moment is gone

You’re shocked when the spray can splatters
Deliver us from the chumps and suckers
You and me killing time in the present tense
Bound together by someone to fight against

Chorus
I used to be a dissident citizen

Crystal Baller

I close my eyes and I see a freak, I think it’s me and I’m afraid to speak
I keep on going from week to weakness way out in a line.
I dream of lives we could have had before, but the heat is broke down open doorways.
Friends of yours will tell me more what happens in your mind

Can we try and take the high road though we don’t know where it ends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I want to show you how it ends

Macramé queens in the afternoon and I’m in tune or did I speak too soon
Punch drunk on somebody’s joke, what happened to the time
A footnote in your dance of days, In my mind that record still plays
Still wonder what the fuck it says, and hoping there is time

Can we try and take the high road though we don’t know where it ends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I can show you how it ends

Can we talk about tomorrow and the promise that it brings
I want to be your Crystal Baller, I want to show everything

I wonder what the whole things for, I wonder what the whole things for
In the moment you were screaming at me I would have been somebody else
And the patrons of the pub keep singing
Macramé queens in the afternoon and I’m in tune or did I speak too soon
Punch drunk on somebody’s joke what happened to the time
I dream of lives we could have had before where the heat is broke down open doorways
Like waiting for a trick to score, It seems that way some times
I wonder where were all going, I’m homesick for your primal knowing
I wonder why the wind keeps blowing you through my mind

Try and take the high road remember we were friends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I want to be your diamond ring

The one I never gave you and the promise that it brings
Let me be your Crystal Baller
I will show you everything.
I’ll be your Crystal Baller

My Hit And Run

Feel the speed through the intersection
Sheets of rain I seek out cars
Hands in gloves grip handlebars

Ride alone to the pub in the dark
I get a little wet but I don’t have to park
And the lights start flashing green and red as I ride
A car turns left and I slide
I can’t turn back
I make contact
Blinkers smash into mosaic
Then I start flying

Always think we get more time
Now flying through the air
Maybe living maybe dying
In this motor crash it's you who comes to mind
Don’t we always wish had more time

I’m thrust slow mo through time and space
Details smash and
I protect my face
And then I see yours
And go to a time when we just knew

Mister death in the car below
Doesn't even slow
And away he goes
In the majesty of a motor crash
You skid into my darkness forming
Sex and death, heartbreak and strife
But I give no warning

Chorus

Here it comes, my hit and run

Come down hard and roll to my feet
And rain washes blood now off concrete
People turn away and I just had to laugh
Cause I’m still flying
Living and dying

Chorus

And I’d like to thank mister death for what he's done
Cause I got to walk away from my hit and run
Mysteries are not so empty
Cause I saw you
At my hit and run

Misfits

Hey bro props at the after show
Can you tell me where the greenbuds grows?
I’d like to say you turned my life around

I lost myself outside again
With the sound running through my head
Drowned out way out in the crowd
and the crowd goes singing

My people are the misfits
The ones that don't fit in
With the smile I know it comes within
I can feel you in the corners laughing when the lightings low

They say
Tick tick. tell me where the time goes
Oh life, you know it moves much to slow
Tick tick tell me where the time goes
Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me
Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me

My people are the misfits
I won’t let you down
I’m dizzy from whatever we just passed around
I bleed for the moments when we’re here
And we’re all around

Can’t Get Away

I miss the sand on the concrete floor
I miss the way it was before
no one even knew me
your eyes looked right through me
And I’m taking off your clothes
And you bloom like a rose

I can’t get away from you

And where the ocean meets the land
Is like the sliding of your hand
Prickles up my skin
And I can feel the changing weather
While alone along that coast
Sense memories of your ghost

I can’t get away from you

Deliver me, shut me up
Deliver me
Give into me, Release
Deliver me, deliver me

Through the airport corridors
In magazines in stores
If I see your face once more
Cause you know I can’t ignore it
I recognize that pose
When you bloomed like a rose

I can’t get away from you

The jeep gets broke on a blown out road and I’m a tourist with a real light load
Will the government hold one month away, missed our places where we always stay
How come we always pick these spots
Feeling like a have in the land of have nots, sleeping on cots
Wishing that I had some tater-tots

And there’s postcards written
I know I’ll never send
The moment is gone and won’t come again
I ride with souls who find no peace
Still I look to you to find release

And the travelers return
Through the panic doors
Walking through the airport corridors
Welcome back now from the foreign shores
And I walk alone
And the ghost that I carry is your
Tiger shark is azure blue
I hope the vision you had returns to you

Wake For Young Souls

Where’s my soul

I have your face in a photo in high school when you were alive but that’s all I have
And I can’t remember who I was myself then and it doesn’t help still I looked to you as a friend to tell me

Chorus
who we are now, who we are
who we are now, who we are
where does time go now on a wake for young souls
tell me who we are now, who we are
where does time go now on a wake for young souls
Like a lullaby we sing

Well the wind that blows its blowing colder and the child that grows she’s growing older
And the friends we know they’ll turn a shoulder
the friends we know they are growing colder

Chorus

Where’s my soul

Cycle of the moon brings blood to the woman
In the blood of the woman brings birth of a child
Child grow up
Keep forgetting something
Birth of a child comes someplace while you
Even grey days beat the shade to wean
Unbodied unsouled unheard unseen
Let the gift be grown in the time to call our own
Let the truth be sewn before the windows closing
Truth is natural like a wind that blows
Follow the direction no matter where it goes
So it shall be the earth and the sea
Let the truth blow like a hurricane through me

If I’ve been cold, if I’ve spoken in anger, to have been bold, forgive me
You I don’t see your mother not like before, though she hasn’t forgotten she doesn’t like to be reminded anymore.
Annie got married it didn’t come with out tears like the day you died I have laughter for these years

Chorus

Other things we know are going to fall away from me like a grain of sand slips through a good friends hand

Palm Reader

Just give me a call when you feel better
but you never do and I’m just another debtor to some palm reader
whose got her hands mixed up
Palm readers breath smells of brandy and cigarettes
As she sells me and sweet forgets, she needs something to get her through, she runs a scam like me and you yeah me and you
Freud said that love was a good psychosis, but I don’t know I’ve had too many doses
He’s a creep and we all know that he probably made it up

Believe in me and this lie
Tell me everything will be all right
Cause it’s so good to believe
But don’t turn my hope into a weapon

I kept your sweater till the scent was gone wrapped up in my hands when the days where long but I’m still sniffing I walk alone in the concrete with the living
Where pigeons fly till they gather round the fallen ones,
they don’t know why neither do I…

Chorus

There’s no one to trust except maybe the two of us
But that’s in the past the place where I’m living is haunting broken dreams
I read horoscopes in magazines especially yours in the sign of the Leo, the regal one but man you let your claws show oh it’s so slow, when will they let me go

Chorus

Self Righteous

Everyone is so self-righteous
Lift your head again and try this

If you want this, I do
And I want this, but I can’t break through
And I can see you begin to glow

Everyone is so self-righteous
Get up everyone
Were on our own now
Lift your head again try this

And feel you, I do
And I want this but I can’t break through
And your burning lights red and blue

Everyone is so self-righteous

Where have you sinners gone
All you sinners

What’s ours is ours
And were all alone
What’s ours is ours
And outside rain
It’s just a shower
And then I feel you breathe
And I let go of the hours
And I feel your skin
And I let you in
And that’s my dream
Again and again
I feel the hours
Sliding by
Get up on your own now
Way up all alone now
Lift your head again and try this

Do you want this, in you
You’re the only thing that’s real
And we don’t need to beg or steal

Everyone is so self-righteous

Company

Start your engines

Can we get the chemicals in
Cause anything’s better than this
Mix it up with vicadin
Cause anything’s better than this
Little cuts on your wrist,
To try and get back the feeling
And no real friendships exists
That would be an understatement

Tell me the reason
(cannot show up)
Friends you knew before
(hello, how have you been?)
This is your season
(oh I give up)
Just show up
(I can’t knock on your door)

Cause I keep bad company
I’m trouble
So go on stay away from me
I play the villain
You don’t know where we’ve been

Lining em up again
Start your engines

Can we get the chemicals in
Old english is making me manic
I go to SuicideGirls again
To check on anything I missed
The stitches don’t even begin
To even stop up the bleeding
Can we get the chemicals in
Cause anything’s better than this

The city is dying
(at least to me)
The city is dead now
(my kingdom for a friend)
Are you even trying
(to find some peace)
Don’t need a reason
(I get some living in)

Cause I keep bad company
I’m in trouble
Last chance stay away from me
I play the villain
You don’t know where we’ve been

Lining em up again
Keep saying this will end

I keep bad company
I’m in trouble
Keep saying this will end
Lining em up again
You know I’ll never change

Lining em up again
Start your engines

Good Man

If you ever find a way to forgive me
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest
Because I am hanging on your dress now like a little boy
When all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man

Right in the middle of another big fight
Boom back another one tonight
Blood never forgets but who protects the memories from when we bleed each other from the vein

And if you ever find a way to make this interesting
If I ever find a way to stop disintegrating
Into pieces that I was, that you destroy
When all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man

Right in the middle of another big fight
Go to bed it’s getting light out
Why do you always find me in the places when I’m coming down

And how do you do it when I’m overwhelmed by a violet sky, and we fly in decayed orbit 66 thousand miles an hour goes by when we kissed, and only now do I feel your mouth, like an ache you never knew, and it was right in front of you

How do you do it, roots in the soil untangled
Releasing in sweet summer oil still I recoil like mace
In all the little moments I pushed you away that I can’t erase
Cause every moment overflows with power 66 thousand miles an hour

Another Life

People’s eyes say I’m no damn good
Shook down and left lonely
Only with the maybe we could
I stay inside cause I’m misunderstood
I can’t get no release

I’m shell shocked from some heavy blows
A stranger to the people I know
Who used to say “he never had a down day”
Now I’m holding on to can’t let goes
And silence brings no peace

Because another life
Went through my window pane
And I don’t know why
I’ve got a will to burn

In attic rooms I just shut my door
For seven weeks or maybe seven more
It’s like I face a seven headed whore
The fight’s knocked out of me

No measure for grief and I can’t find it with the sound
Break down, to the great god of the hand me down
Holding the past around wound up at the lost and found
Where the colors all run to grey

I’m coming out of a down day
Colorized, the city’s plays a double feature today
Life is long and something is wrong
But I want to know what’s going on

In another life
Cause it’s good again
And it will never die
I’ve got a will to burn
To see you again
It’s like another life
It’s like I’ll not get better
Will to burn

Time goes by and I realize, that I’m alright
You thought nothing would be the same
But life comes round again
Quick wits and all curious
All caught up in what you say
And makes me grab the time
Before it slips away

I can’t stay and I cannot wait
And I’m grateful to whistle past a grave yard gate
