burn down all your idols
destroy your idols
create a scene
there goes all your reason
it's helter skelter
it's not a dream
come down from your altar
remove your blindfold
what do you see?
nothing left to do here
there's nothing new here
it's all the same you're going down, down, down
how low can you go?
you're going down, down, down
how low can you go?
you're going down, down, down
how low can you go? ha-re hare krishna
was that your sister?
a covergirl
wasted primadonna
she lost her way here
she disappeared
come back to your altar
and build a fire
it's getting cold
nothing stops to wait here
there's not a soul here
you're all alone
you're going down, down, down
how low can you go?
you're going down, down, down
how low can you go?
you're going down, down, down
how low can you go?
here we go nowin the new religion
no inhibition
no alibi
televised confession
a true obsession
is on the rise
miscommunication
disinformation
a perfect waste
bite the sacred apple
suck the poison
enjoy the taste
you're going down, down, down
how low can you go?
you're going down, down, down
how low can you go?
you're going down, down, down
you're going down, down, down
you're going down, down, down
how low can you go?
how low can you go?
 
 

#1 Crush

i would die for you
i would die for you
i've been dying just to feel you by my side
to know that you're mine
i would cry for you
i would cry for you
i will wash away your pain with all my tears
and drown your fear
i will pray for you
i will pray for you
someone like you
see your face every place that I walk in
hear your voice every time that I'm talking
you will believe in me
and i will never be ignored
i will burn for you
feel pain for you
i will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
and tear it apart
i will lie for you
beg and steal for you
i will crawl on my hands and knees until you see
you're just like me
violate all the love that I'm missing
throw away all the pain that I'm living
you will believe in me
and i will never be ignored
i would die for you
i would kill for you
i would steal for you
i'd do time for you
i will wait for you
i'd make room for you
i'd sink ships for you
take the cross for you
make me a part of you
cause i believe in you
i believe in you
i would die for you
 
 
 

Butterfly Collector

so you finally got what you wanted
you've achieved your aim of making the walking lame
and when you just can't get any higher
you use your senses to suss out this week's climber
and the small fame that you've acquired
has brought you into cult status
but to me you're still a collector
there's tarts and whores but you're much more
you're a different kind 'cause you want their minds
and you just don't care 'cause you got no brains
it's just that face on your pillowcase that thrills you
and you've started looking much older
and your fashion sense is second rate like your perfume
but to you in your own little dream world
you're still the queen of the butterfly collectors
you carry on 'cause it's all you know
you can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew
you get from day to day be filling your head
but you surely must know the thrill between your legs has worn off
and i don't care about morals
'cause the world's insane and we're all to blame anyway
and i don't feel any sorrow
towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors
there's tarts and whores but you're much more
you're a different kind 'cause you want their minds
and you just don't care 'cause you got no brains
it's just that face on your pillowcase that thrills you
and you carry on 'cause it's all you know
you can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew
you get from day to day be filling your head
but you surely must know the thrill between your legs has worn off
and i don't feel any sorrow
towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors
 
 

Driving Lesson

car... car... car... drive

to the mountains
to the roof tops
we can take it nice and slow
i'll be driving
to the icebergs
to the edges
car...

head in to the clouds
past the buildings
by the harbour
through the storm
tear across the beach
by the marker
leave the light on
by the poolside
car...
get in the car...

get in the car...
i can make an honest man of you
i can make you clean if you want me to
i can make you go very far

to the mountains - to make it real... anywhere
get in the car - you gotta feel
take the car - to make it real

Kick My Ass

i'm so sorry you had to kick my ass
you said i ruined your life
i didn't mean to do that
i had to untangle where we was entwined
you were strangling me
were you breathing so fine
the jam i was in when things weren't working out
led me to the brunt of your swinging bout
i'm so sorry, i regret everything
but what can i do
to have you take back that swing
i'm so sorry a scuffle ensued
but things are much better now
i guess thanks to you
the jam i was in when things weren't working out
led me to the brunt of your swinging bout
i'm so sorry you had to pull my hair
i had to take care of business
there was a lot of business giving there

Girl Don't Come

girl don't come
if it's all been said and done
don't hang around
let them kick back off the ground
let them kick back off the ground
girl don't come
he's got nothing left to loose
but that's all right
like a welching chauvanite
you want to take that bread ahead
lay down in someone else's bed
girl don't come
girl don't come
girl don't come
girl don't come
if you want my sympathy my dear
you'd better not come near my dear
i think it's fair to say my dear
you're gonna see my way
you're gonna see my way
girl don't come
girl don't come
girl don't come
girl don't come
girl don't come - if you want my sympathy my dear
girl don't come - you'd better not come near my dear
girl don't come - i think it's fair to say my dear
girl don't come - you're gonna see my way
 
 
 

Sleep

in the middle of the night
head on my pillow
looking like a ghost
seems like all that you gave me mother
has all gone up in smoke
in the middle of the night
you don't know what I'm thinking
but still the stars just sparkle and shine
seems like all the time our boat is slowly sinking
you don't even seem to mind
now all I want to do is sleep
now all I want to do is sleep
now all I want to do is sleep...
Trip My Wire
be easy with me
i'm fragile
i'm easily broken
be careful with me
i'm a fighter
you're a cheat and
you're a liar
i don't need this anymore
this is not what I came for
i won't stand for this at all
i won't see you any more
be easy on me
don't trip my wire
i'm a freak and
i'm on fire
be easy on me
trip my wire
i'm a freak and
i'm on fire
i don't need this anymore
this is not what i came for
i won't stand for this at all
i won't see you any more
be careful with me
i'm fragile
i'm a bitch babe
and I'm on fire
be careful with me
i'm fragile
i'm a bitch babe
and i'm on fire
be careful with me
be careful with me
i'm fragile
don't you trip
stepping on my wire
i'm a freak, freak, freak
but baby I'm on fire
i don't need this any more
this is not what I came for

Deadwood

handcuffed in the present tense
variations on your violence
mind games and pretty girls
a cracked song in the universe
i think it's time that i
showed you what I'm made of
i'm afraid there is much
to be afraid of i kill the fire so
i don't get burned
kill the fire and you won't get burned
deadwood if you care to listen
it's the same but there's something missing
it wears me out
stripped bare on the same old savage
how in his name did we ever manage
it's not enough
look me in the eye
i'm about to dive
can you live your life
without me?
i don't need you anymore
i can't use you anymore
killing the fire and your killing desire
i don't need you anymore
well I'm clear but you still don't get it
i'll call you up though you might regret it
it gets me down
you want the truth but you look right through it
deadwood but you wont come to it
it's such a shame
look me in the eye
i'm about to dive
can you live your life
without me?
i don't need you anymore
i can't use you anymore
killing the fire and your killing desire
i don't need you anymore
i don't need you anymore
i can't use you anymore
killing the fire and your killing desire
killing the fire and your killing desire
killing the fire and your killing desire
killing the fire and your killing desire
killing the fire and your killing desire
killing the fire and your killing desire
...the only one...
 
 
 

Afterglow

center on the wide horizon
focus on the galaxy
sweep away your expectations
and recognize your enemies
i hear you talking to yourself
you strip it all for someone else
you've got to learn to love yourself
its all that counts
there's little else
your always looking for affection
and all its possibilities
ya' said she's searching for attention
in merging need of gravity
i think you think you're someone else
you've got to learn to save yourself
before you find there's nothing left
but bitterness
and hollowness
and afterglow
and afterglow
