Kitty Litter

The way you’re dancing
Makes me come alive
Makes me shiver and perspire
Your surreptitious glancing
The way you crack a smile
You really start a fire

So move closer
I wanna feel your touch
So come over
Come on

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Feels much weaker
Now we’re apart

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Comes crashing down

I need a change of skin
I need a change

The way you’re moving
Hips from side to side
Makes you all that I desire

Bathsheba of my choosing
I’m so unsatisfied
And you’ve got what I require

So move closer
I gotta feel your touch
So come over
So come on

So move closer
I gotta feel your touch
So come over
Come on

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Feels much weaker
Now we’re apart

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Comes crashing down

I need a change of skin
I need a change
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Feels much weaker
Now we’re apart

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Comes crashing down

Ashtray Heart

Cenicero, cenicero
Mi Corazón de cenicero
Cenicero, cenicero
Mi Corazón de cenicero

You are the birth and you are waste
You are the one who took my place
You took a jump into forever
A leap of faith I could not take

And it was a leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi Corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi Corazón de cenicero

We were alone before we met
No more forlorn than one could get
How could we know we have found treasure
How sinister and how correct

And it was a leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi Corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart

Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi Corazón de cenicero
Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi Corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Corazón cenicero

I tore the muscle from your chest
And used it to stub out cigarettes
I listened to your screams of pleasure
And I watch the bed sheets turn blood red

Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Corazón cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Corazón cenicero…

Battle For The Sun

I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun
And I, I, I won’t stop until I’m done, done, done
You, you, you are getting in the way, way, way
And I, I, I have nothing left to say, say, say

I, I, I, I, I will brush off all the dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
And I, I, I, I, I will pretend it didn’t hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
And you, you, you, you, you are a black a heavy weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight
And I, I, I, I, I will not participate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate

Dream brother
My killer
My lover
Dream brother
My killer
My lover

I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun, sun
‘Cause I, I, I have stared down the barrel of a gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, no fun
You, you, you, you, you are a cheap and nasty fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
And I, I, I, I, I am the bones you couldn’t break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break

Dream brother
My killer
My lover
Dream brother
My killer
My lover

Dream brother
My killer
My lover
Dream brother
My killer

For What It’s Worth

The end of the century
I said my goodbyes, for what it’s worth
I always aimed to please
But I nearly died, for what it’s worth
Come on lay with me
‘Cause I’m on fire, for what it’s worth
I’d tear the sun in three
To Light up your eyes

For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth

Broke up the family
Everybody cried, for what it’s worth
I had a slow disease
That sucked me dry, for what it’s worth
Come on walk with me
Into the rising tide, for what it’s worth
Fill the cavity
Your God shaped hole tonight

For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth

For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth

No one cares when you’re out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
And no one cares when you’re down in the gutter
Got no friends, got no lover

No one cares when you’re out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
And no one cares when you’re down in the gutter
Got no friends, got no lover

For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)
For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)

For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)
For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)

For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)
For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)

For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)
For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)

Devil In The Details

I’ve been wasting all my time
With the devil in the details
I’ve got no energy to fight
He’s a fucking pal o’mine
That devil in the details
And he’s fixing up to take a bite
I don’t see the point in trying
I’ve got the devil in the details
He’s gonna teach me wrong from right
That fucking pal o’mine
That devil in the details

I’m gonna dance with him tonight
All of my wrongs
And all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me come what may
For all of the songs
I hope to write some day
Looks like the devil’s here to stay

Let me take you for a ride
With the devil in the details
We’ll kiss and tremble with delight
Everything is fine
With the devil in the details

We’re gonna dance with him tonight
All of my wrongs
And all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me come what may
For all of the songs
I hope to write some day

Looks like the devil’s here to stay
Looks like the devil’s here to stay
Looks like the devil’s here to stay

All of my wrongs
And all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me come what may
For all of the songs
I hope to write some day

Looks like the devil’s here to stay
Looks like the devil’s here to stay
Looks like the devil’s here to stay

I’ve been wasting all my time
With the devil in the details

Bright Lights

Cast your mind back to the days
When I’d pretend I was okay
I had so very much to say
About my crazy living

Now that I’ve stared into the void
So many people I’ve annoyed
I have to find a middle way
A better way of living

So I haven’t given up
But all my choices, my good luck
Appeared to go and get me stuck
In an open prison

Now I am trying to break free
Be in a state of empathy
Find the true and inner me
Eradicate the schism

No-one can take it away from me
And no-one can tear it apart
Because a heart that hurts is a heart that works
A heart that hurts is a heart that works

A heart that hurts is a heart that works
No-one can take it away from me
And no-one can tear it apart
It may be elaborate fantasy
But it’s the perfect place to start

Because a heart that hurts is a heart that works
A heart that hurts is a heart that works

Speak In Tongues

Kitty came back home from on the island
But Kitty came on home without a name
She and me’s a history of violence
But I long and burn to touch her just the same

So we both can speak in tongues
So we both can speak in tongues

Every single sense in me is heightened
There’s nothing left inside to rearrange
And like a slave to history and science
I long, I burn to touch you just the same

So we both can speak in tongues
So we both can speak in tongues

Until the universe is done
And the course of time is run
So we both can speak in tongues

Don’t let them have their way
Don’t let them have their way
You’re beautiful and so blasé
So please don’t let them have their way

Don’t fall back into the decay
There is no law we must obey
Please don’t let them have their way
Don’t give in to yesterday

We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today

Today
Today
Today

The Never-Ending Why

The atom will implode
The fragile kingdom fold
The tremor becomes a quake
And there’s a body in the lake

And as the two of us rebel
And damn you all to Hell
I wonder, is this all there is

Time will help you through
But it doesn’t have the time
To give you all the answers
To the never-ending why

As the sound of silence grows
As the spiders kiss is laid
The tumour becomes malign
But the kids are doing fine

And as the two of us rebel
And damn you all to Hell
I wonder, is this all there is

Time will help you through
But it doesn’t have the time
To give you all the answers
To the never-ending why

Time will help you through
But it doesn’t have the time
To give you all the answers
To the never-ending why…

Julien

The payback is here
Take a look, it’s all around you
You thought you’d never shed a tear
So this must astound
And must confound you

Buy a ticket for the train
Hide in a suitcase if you have to
This ain’t no singing in the rain
This is a twister that would destroy you

You can run but you can’t hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you’re a slow motion suicide

Fallen angels in the night
And everyone is barred from Heaven
Just one more hit to make it right
But everyone turns into seven

Now that it’s snowing in your brain
Another ten will not placate you
This ain’t no killer for the pain
This avalanche will suffocate you

You can run but you can’t hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend on whom you can rely
Julien, you’re being taken for a ride

You can run but you can’t hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you’re a slow motion suicide

Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide
Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide

Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide
Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide
Slow-motion suicide

Happy You’re Gone

Breathe me
Every time you close your eyes
Taste me
Every time you cry

This memory
Will fade away and die
Just for today
Breathe me and say goodbye

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye
Now I can’t look you in the eye

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye

See me
In the eyes of another’s child
Turn away
When you see me walking by, once in a while

This malady
Will fade away and die
Just for today
Breathe me and say goodbye

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye
Now I can’t look you in the eye

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye
I don’t even want to try

My my
My my
‘Cause every word from you is a lie
My my
My my my my my

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye
Now I can’t look you in the eye

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye

Breathe Underwater

Here comes another fall from grace
I’m always falling on my face
This attitude that I embrace
For the love I’m trying to replace
I try to kill the song
‘Cause the melody’s all wrong
And there’s a fever coming on

It’s hard to reconcile
What I’ve become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater
I’m coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I’m coming up for air
‘Cause I’ve been floating here too long

Take my ego for a ride
‘Cause there’s nobody by my side
It’s getting hard to justify
And it won’t be long ‘til I collide
My weakness is laid bare
As people stop and stare
But it’s the last time I swear

It’s hard to reconcile
What I’ve become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater
I’m coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I’m coming up for air
‘Cause I’ve been floating here too long

Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing

Breathe underwater
I’m coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I’m coming up for air
‘Cause I’ve been floating here too long

I’m coming
I’m coming
I’m coming, coming up for air
Coming up for air
Coming up for air

Come Undone

You don’t know how you’re coming across
You don’t know what you’re coming across
You don’t know who you’re coming across
You don’t know how you’re coming across
So you come undone

You don’t know how you’re coming across
Acting like you don’t give a toss
Walking around like you’re on some kind of cross
And it’s a shame on you the irony’s lost
When you come undone
You come undone
You know, you come undone
You know, you know, you know

You don’t know how you’re coming across
You don’t know how you’re coming across
And I don’t think you’re aware of the cost

So you come undone
You come
You come undone
You know, you know, you know

Kings Of Medicine

They’re picking up pieces of me
While they’re picking up pieces of you
In a bag you will be before the day is over

Were you looking for somewhere to be
Or looking for someone to do
Stupid me to believe that I could trust in stupid you

And on the back of my hand
Were directions I could understand
Now that old buzzard Johnny Walker
Has gone and ruined all our plans
Our best made plans

Don’t leave me here to pass through time
Without a map or road sign
Don’t leave me here, my guiding light, ‘cause I

I wouldn’t know where to begin
I asked the kings of medicine

They’re picking up pieces of me
While they’re picking up pieces of you
Lying on ice you will be before the day is over

It’s a case in point baby
That you never thought it through
Stupid me to believe I could depend on stupid you

And on the tip of my tongue
Were words that always came out wrong
‘Cause they were drowned in Southern Comfort
And left to dry out in the sun
The noonday sun

Don’t leave me here to pass through time
Without a map or road sign
Don’t leave me here, my guiding light, ‘cause I

I wouldn’t know where to begin
I asked the kings of medicine

But it seems they’ve lost their powers
Now all I’m left with is the hours

Don’t leave me here
Don’t leave me here, oh no
I wouldn’t know where to begin..
