WET SUIT
roll the dice

tears from the skies
play your hand

is keeping you warm
in your cold bed, I’ll never be torn from

try to keep it together

better in me

from you
try to keep it together
you try your best to forget her

just can’t leave you this way
when you’re not okay
trains
will pass through here someday
and take you away
but you won’t
let me hit the ground
when my heart slows down

keeping you warm
in your cold head I’ll never be torn from you
try
to keep it together

keep us together

I would rather
think that you were honest

given me up, you’ve taken everything I got

from your mouth

your wrist

same
day, same life, different person
your ghost, my pride, perfect

given you too much thought.

I’m aiming your gun
I'm lining up the perfect shot
don’t
waste me
on something stupid like this
I would rather die than
take your bullet (x5)
only you know (x8)
DISCONNECTED
disconnected its the way that i wanted it to be
the cult electric is my favorite record of the week
cos im not feeling sweet
but i cant say that when everyone is so judgmental
and i cant play back all the times when you were gentle
cos even you cant be true
its astounding what love can do to a city
laurel canyon was the best place for you and me to be
i chose the curtains and dreamed the dream of domesticity
what a freak you made of me
now im on Zoloft
cos you told me i was crazy
i wont jump cos now i know you'll never catch me
and i cant believe you cos you swore youd never let me
even you talk sh*t too
its january when i jumped th fence of your backyard
finished the fairy tale that you were drunk enough to start
its kinda scary when youre lover leaves you for a movie
star
and im still in the dark
but you have trained me to watch my back and drop my standards
and you have shamed me since the first time you were with
her
you cant make me love your band or buy your records
cos you have tainted my respect for your adventures
you will never have a chance to trace my features
and you wont ever make me feel like such a loser
and you can have the past cos im in love with the future
(I met a boy who makes you look
so shallow and there is so much time
and so much space to travel
and will make the climb...and im in love with the future
touch the sky)
and i will kiss the gravel
ALL DRESSED UP

im all dressed up, all dressed up, all dressed up
dont you see
the infinite possibilities
dont you need the kind of love that i need
dont you see...me
im all dressed up
to be what you want...me to be
im all dressed up... to be what you taught me to be
im all dressed up, all messed up, all dressed up
you dont even notice me
moving in like a ton of glacier
you dont even notice me
soothing you like a long lost sister
you dont even care...no you dont even care...
all dressed with no place to go
but home, but home
im all dressed up
to be what you want me to be
all dressed up, to be what you want me to be
im all dressed up all dressed up....
but you dont comfort me
carry on with the will of Samson
you dont even comfort me
you keep your faith and you keep your fantasy
and you dont even care, no you dont even care
all dressed up but still theres something wrong
im all dressed up and youre just a slob
im all dresed up and youre forever gone, everlong...
(you dont even care....)
USED TO KNOW HER
i used to know her, i used to talk about her
waiting for the day when she would listen
i used to know her, i used to stick up for her
something in her smile was so bitchin
i used to sing, i used to sing
i used to know her...
used to know all about her
used to need her
there was something about her
used to torch her
its the best way around her
used to know her
now it just doesnt matter

i used to f*ck him, i used to simplify him
something in his walk was like jim morrison
i used to touch him, i used to justify him
lying to my face with my permission
i used to sing, i used to sing
i used to f*ck him
used to f*cking love him
used to need him

PRETTY BOYS
last night i dreamt you were gay
it was all you needed to say
finally an answer to why you dont want me that way
last year i slept in your arms
slept right through the alarm
now you live in virginia on a farm
boys will be boys
boys will be boys
girls cant avoid pretty boys
last july i came untied
my trousers, my bra and my pride
you were so confident that i would let you inside
back of the bus in berlin
that was the summer of sin
brian and richie pounding a bottle of gin
liars and lovers, twin brothers never win
boys will be boys
boys will be boys
girls cant avoid pretty boys
no, girls cant avoid pretty boys
HELLRAISER
werent you the pilot who fell from the sky
was it a big mistake or just plain homicide
how does it feel on the other side
do you hang out with the saints or the spies
are you still hellraising?
hellraising
is this the kind of thing we always fear
are you so bent on hell that you'd leave me up here
god bless the miles we traveled too fast
god help the suckers dead in your path
are you still hellraising?
you will pay for your mistakes
you will pay....
this love was born on crutches crippled and bored
ripped out asleep and strangled by a phone cord
werent you the pilot who swerved off the course
was it disaster or just plain divorce
hellraising....
