Straight


You sleep better when you're
You eat better when you're
You sing better when you're
You need me more when you're straight

Is this the weekend?
Is that your girlfriend?
She's green and innocent
You smoke her just like she's incense
You smile
You smile
You smile
Stay straight for me
Stay straight for me

I'll wait 'till summer's over
I'll love you through October
I'll give you everything
I'll trade you anything for her
Stay straight for me
Stay straight for me
Stay straight for me

Volcano Girls


Leave me, lying here cause I don't wanna go
Leave me, lying here cause I don't wanna go
Leave me, lying here cause I don't wanna go

Tell me tell me what you really want from me
You're got me let me know
I'm falling off and I need you terribly
One down and one to go
Volcano girls we really can't be beat
Warm us and watch us blow
But now and then we fail and we admit defeat
We're falling off we arewatered down and fully grown

Leave me lying here cause I don't wanna go
Leave me lying here cause I don't wanna go
A million miles of running and I hit the wall
I bounce back and I run some more
But this is it I'm giving up I'm calling quits
So get down and meet me on the floor
Way to go way to flip off everyone
I steal your thunder then I try to bolt
But I could stand a little pity now and then
I'm falling off I am watered down and fully grown
Cause I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go,
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go

I told you about the seether before
You know the one that's neither or nor
Well here's another clue if you please
The seether's Louise

One, two, three waouhhhhh !
Leave me lying here cause I don't wanna go ....

One Last Time


I wind you up then I wait here for the melancholy
I give you up while you sit here in all your glory
I never thought you would
I never knew you could
But now you're gone and I don't think I care

I sold your love down the river for a bow and arrow
Euphoria has just been here and she's looking terrible
I've never sunk this low
It's better if you go
When you're nearby
I see you and want you to try
To love me like a monster
One last time
Control me like a father
One last time
Stay with me 'til I'm stronger
One last round
To kick me when i'm down
Don't kick me when I'm down

I never thought you would
I never understood
And that's why I'm weak and i want you to try
To make me an exemple
One last time
To drag me through the cycle
One last time
To make me a disciple
One last round
Will get me to the ground
You'll get me on the ground
I'll see you around
Yeah I'll see you around
One last town
And I'll see you around
Yeah I'll see you around

Benjamin


Take me away I know
I could use the rest
I want to clear up this mess
I need a few days with my good sense
I need a few good days
Benjamin no, Benjamin no, Benjamin no
Where did you go ?

When you were falling from my tree
I was not scared
I thought you'd meet me back up there
It never dawned on me
You were home free
It never dawned on me
Benjamin no, Benjamin no, Benjamin no
Where did you go ?
Benjamin no, Benjamin no, Benjamin no
Where did you go ? no no

You said that I could tie you down
You said that I could tie you down
You said that I could tie you down

Shutterbug


It's freezing in Bristol
There's love on the telly
A girl grinning at me
She's doing the shimmy
And she's cool
And she's skinny
And she's a fool
For the last living rock king
It's her thrill it's her wonder
It's her will it's her way home
She's right where she always wanted to be
She can't change, change change
It's lightning in London ( it's lightning in London )
There's shit on the telly ( There's shit on TV )
You're pushing my buttons ( You're pushing my buttons )
You know how to touch me
And I knew
That you'd choose me
By the times
That you tried to refuse me
It's your thrill it's your wonder
It's your will it's your way home
You're right where you always wanted to be
You can't change, change, change
It's morning in philly ( It's morning in philly )
My head's feeling heavy ( My head's feeling heavy )
The sun makes me dizzy ( The sun makes me sick )
You monkey you left me
And I know that you miss me
By the way that you kiss and resist me
It's my thrill it's my wonder
It's my will it's my way home
I'm right where I always dreamed I would be
I can't change, change, change

The Morning Sad


Wake up and talk to me
It's a long time since last night
I know we said things the saddest things
And I'm not sure it was wise

But when the morning's sad
You don't look back
Though you sure don't look ahead
The morning sad you know the morning sad
The morning sad never had it so bad, never had it so bad

I'm writing desperate songs
While you're fast asleep inside
I could try to sing until it rings
But my voice comes out uptight

Cause when the morning's sad
You don't relax
No you cannot clear your mind
The morning sad you know the morning sad
The morning sad never had it so bad, never had it so bad

I tried a little I tried a lot
I'm not a window
And you've seen through everything I've got
I don't think that I'll be safe
Until everyone's awake everybody, everybody everybody

So wake up and talk to me
Such a long time since last night
I know we said things
The maddest things
And I'm not sure who was right

When the morning's sad
You don't attack
Cause you're much too weak to fight

The morning sad you know the morning sad
The morning sad never had it so bad
Never had it so bad ....

Sound Of The Bell


I found a place where we can talk
I found a way to reach a middle ground
Keep your castle in my sandbox
Build it up so we can burn it down
Anyway I love my man
Love to keep him spinning round and round
Keep him feeding love from my hands
Anyway to turn him inside out

I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell,

The sound of the bell, the sound of the bell
Meet me up and down again
Everytime is sweeter than the last
Once you get a taste of impact
You're always hungry for the crash

I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell

The sound of the bell, the sound of the bell
And this is everything
I have loved yeah I have loved
Down I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell

The sound of the bell, the sound of the bell
Down I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
The sound of the bell, the sound of the bell
I don't wanna be found in the searchlight
I don't wanna be dim like a nightlight

Loneliness Is Worse


When you've had enough
When you've got it bad enough
And you can't let go
When it comes to blows
And you start to overflow
And you can't get home
Iit's a subtle kind of cruel it taps my spine
Here I'm drawing a line
I'm asking please

Don't you want to be happy with me
Don't you want to be happy with me
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've got to try

December's all alone
And he's calling me on the phone
But he sounds so cold
He says he loves me so
But how would I ever know
Certain words grow old

It's a vicious kind of catch
It sides me blind
Now I'm out of my mind
I want to scream

Don't you want to be happy with me
Don't you want to be happy with me
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've got to try

Love liked me long ago
It had a way of making everyone the same
But now the angels must laugh and sigh to hear me
Pleading with you needing you this way

Ooh why don't you want to be happy with me
Ooh why don't you want to be happy with me
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've got to try to stay mine all the way

Don't you want to be happy with me
Don't you want to be happy with me
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were

Stoneface


You didn't notice I was gone
Guess you were tying up your arm
And when I stand on my head
You never react I can't get you to crack
You never react I can't get you to crack
Not one fucking smile

But when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I wanna be smack dab with him
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love it

Snakey goddess got my man
That kind of love don't understand him
And when I swallow my gum you never react
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
Not one fucking smile

But when It comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I wanna be smack dab with him
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love it

Swallow hard until you
I'll be the one to thrill you
I'll be the first to kill you
And if you won't die I will

When I short sheet the bed
You never react
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
Not one fucking smile

But when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I wanna be smack dab with him
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love it

Venus Man Trap


Waiting for opportunity to strike
I have been your biggest fan
What a tour
A little blow to cure your fight
It's what it takes to trap a man

Water me
I am not a desert plant
And there was life before you

When I close
Will I wear my blue eyes
When I open
This time
When I close
Or should I wear my green eyes
When I open
That shine and shine

When I close Will I wear my blue eyes
When I open
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

In my room
Underneath the microscope
I remember how it felt
I thought you knew
I was always full of hope
But you could only help yourself

When I close
Will I wear my blue eyes
When I open
This time
When I close
Or should I wear my green eyes
When I open
That shine and shine

When I close
Will I wear my blue eyes
When I open,
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

When I close
Will I wear my blue eyes
When I open ...

Earthcrosser


Sleep little flea
Little boy me a freak am I clean
I feel like men
I feel like boys
I think I'm peeling

The ringing in my ears
From playing too loud
I hear the ocean
I hear the crowd

I'm disconnected
I am unattached
An unmade bed
Makes me feel like a failure
Bedroom eyes
Lead to blurry vision, blurry vision

And the ringing in my ears
From playing too loud
I hear the ocean
I hear the crowd

Too pale too sick
Too scrawny but I'll sleep here anyway
And the sheets smell like bodies
Not mine not yours, not yours

It's two am
And it's quiet again
Where's my lip gloss

And the ringing in my ears
From playing too loud
I hear the ocean I hear the crowd ....
