<p><strong>Kitty Litter</strong></p>
<p>The way you&#8217;re dancing<br />
Makes me come alive<br />
Makes me shiver and perspire<br />
Your surreptitious glancing<br />
The way you crack a smile<br />
You really start a fire</p>
<p>So move closer<br />
I wanna feel your touch<br />
So come over<br />
Come on</p>
<p>Love of mine<br />
This fortress in our heart<br />
Feels much weaker<br />
Now we&#8217;re apart</p>
<p>Love of mine<br />
This fortress in our heart<br />
Comes crashing down</p>
<p>I need a change of skin<br />
I need a change</p>
<p>The way you&#8217;re moving<br />
Hips from side to side<br />
Makes you all that I desire</p>
<p>Bathsheba of my choosing<br />
I&#8217;m so unsatisfied<br />
And you&#8217;ve got what I require</p>
<p>So move closer<br />
I gotta feel your touch<br />
So come over<br />
So come on</p>
<p>So move closer<br />
I gotta feel your touch<br />
So come over<br />
Come on</p>
<p>Love of mine<br />
This fortress in our heart<br />
Feels much weaker<br />
Now we&#8217;re apart</p>
<p>Love of mine<br />
This fortress in our heart<br />
Comes crashing down</p>
<p>I need a change of skin<br />
I need a change<br />
I need a change, I need a change of skin<br />
I need a change, I need a change of skin<br />
I need a change, I need a change of skin<br />
I need a change, I need a change of skin</p>
<p>Love of mine<br />
This fortress in our heart<br />
Feels much weaker<br />
Now we&#8217;re apart</p>
<p>Love of mine<br />
This fortress in our heart<br />
Comes crashing down</p>
<p><strong>Ashtray Heart</strong></p>
<p>Cenicero, cenicero<br />
Mi Corazón de cenicero<br />
Cenicero, cenicero<br />
Mi Corazón de cenicero</p>
<p>You are the birth and you are waste<br />
You are the one who took my place<br />
You took a jump into forever<br />
A leap of faith I could not take</p>
<p>And it was a leap of faith I could not take<br />
A promise that I could not make<br />
A leap of faith I could not take<br />
A promise that I could not make</p>
<p>Cenicero, cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Mi Corazón de cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Cenicero, cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Mi Corazón de cenicero</p>
<p>We were alone before we met<br />
No more forlorn than one could get<br />
How could we know we have found treasure<br />
How sinister and how correct</p>
<p>And it was a leap of faith I could not take<br />
A promise that I could not make<br />
A leap of faith I could not take<br />
A promise that I could not make</p>
<p>Cenicero, cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Mi Corazón de cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart</p>
<p>Cenicero, cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Mi Corazón de cenicero<br />
Cenicero, cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Mi Corazón de cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Cenicero, cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Corazón cenicero</p>
<p>I tore the muscle from your chest<br />
And used it to stub out cigarettes<br />
I listened to your screams of pleasure<br />
And I watch the bed sheets turn blood red</p>
<p>Cenicero, cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Corazón cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Cenicero, cenicero<br />
My ashtray heart<br />
Corazón cenicero&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Battle For The Sun</strong></p>
<p>I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun<br />
And I, I, I won&#8217;t stop until I&#8217;m done, done, done<br />
You, you, you are getting in the way, way, way<br />
And I, I, I have nothing left to say, say, say</p>
<p>I, I, I, I, I will brush off all the dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt<br />
And I, I, I, I, I will pretend it didn&#8217;t hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt<br />
And you, you, you, you, you are a black a heavy weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight<br />
And I, I, I, I, I will not participate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate</p>
<p>Dream brother<br />
My killer<br />
My lover<br />
Dream brother<br />
My killer<br />
My lover</p>
<p>I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun, sun<br />
&#8216;Cause I, I, I have stared down the barrel of a gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, no fun<br />
You, you, you, you, you are a cheap and nasty fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake<br />
And I, I, I, I, I am the bones you couldn&#8217;t break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break</p>
<p>Dream brother<br />
My killer<br />
My lover<br />
Dream brother<br />
My killer<br />
My lover</p>
<p>Dream brother<br />
My killer<br />
My lover<br />
Dream brother<br />
My killer<br />
My lover</p>
<p><strong>For What It&#8217;s Worth</strong></p>
<p>The end of the century<br />
I said my goodbyes, for what it&#8217;s worth<br />
I always aimed to please<br />
But I nearly died, for what it&#8217;s worth<br />
Come on lay with me<br />
‘Cause I&#8217;m on fire, for what it&#8217;s worth<br />
I&#8217;d tear the sun in three<br />
To Light up your eyes</p>
<p>For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth</p>
<p>Broke up the family<br />
Everybody cried, for what it&#8217;s worth<br />
I had a slow disease<br />
That sucked me dry, for what it&#8217;s worth<br />
Come on walk with me<br />
Into the rising tide, for what it&#8217;s worth<br />
Fill the cavity<br />
Your God shaped hole tonight</p>
<p>For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth</p>
<p>For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth</p>
<p>No one cares when you&#8217;re out on the street<br />
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet<br />
And no one cares when you&#8217;re down in the gutter<br />
Got no friends, got no lover</p>
<p>No one cares when you&#8217;re out on the street<br />
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet<br />
And no one cares when you&#8217;re down in the gutter<br />
Got no friends, got no lover</p>
<p>For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
(Got no lover)<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
(Got no lover)</p>
<p>For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
(Got no lover)<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
(Got no lover)</p>
<p>For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
(Got no lover)<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
(Got no lover)</p>
<p>For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
(Got no lover)<br />
For what it&#8217;s worth<br />
(Got no lover)</p>
<p><strong>Devil In The Details</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been wasting all my time<br />
With the devil in the details<br />
I&#8217;ve got no energy to fight<br />
He&#8217;s a fucking pal o&#8217;mine<br />
That devil in the details<br />
And he&#8217;s fixing up to take a bite<br />
I don&#8217;t see the point in trying<br />
I&#8217;ve got the devil in the details<br />
He&#8217;s gonna teach me wrong from right<br />
That fucking pal o&#8217;mine<br />
That devil in the details</p>
<p>I&#8217;m gonna dance with him tonight<br />
All of my wrongs<br />
And all my wicked ways<br />
Will come back to haunt me come what may<br />
For all of the songs<br />
I hope to write some day<br />
Looks like the devil&#8217;s here to stay</p>
<p>Let me take you for a ride<br />
With the devil in the details<br />
We&#8217;ll kiss and tremble with delight<br />
Everything is fine<br />
With the devil in the details</p>
<p>We&#8217;re gonna dance with him tonight<br />
All of my wrongs<br />
And all my wicked ways<br />
Will come back to haunt me come what may<br />
For all of the songs<br />
I hope to write some day</p>
<p>Looks like the devil&#8217;s here to stay<br />
Looks like the devil&#8217;s here to stay<br />
Looks like the devil&#8217;s here to stay</p>
<p>All of my wrongs<br />
And all my wicked ways<br />
Will come back to haunt me come what may<br />
For all of the songs<br />
I hope to write some day</p>
<p>Looks like the devil&#8217;s here to stay<br />
Looks like the devil&#8217;s here to stay<br />
Looks like the devil&#8217;s here to stay</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been wasting all my time<br />
With the devil in the details</p>
<p><strong>Bright Lights</strong></p>
<p>Cast your mind back to the days<br />
When I&#8217;d pretend I was okay<br />
I had so very much to say<br />
About my crazy living</p>
<p>Now that I&#8217;ve stared into the void<br />
So many people I&#8217;ve annoyed<br />
I have to find a middle way<br />
A better way of living</p>
<p>So I haven&#8217;t given up<br />
But all my choices, my good luck<br />
Appeared to go and get me stuck<br />
In an open prison</p>
<p>Now I am trying to break free<br />
Be in a state of empathy<br />
Find the true and inner me<br />
Eradicate the schism</p>
<p>No-one can take it away from me<br />
And no-one can tear it apart<br />
Because a heart that hurts is a heart that works<br />
A heart that hurts is a heart that works</p>
<p>A heart that hurts is a heart that works<br />
No-one can take it away from me<br />
And no-one can tear it apart<br />
It may be elaborate fantasy<br />
But it&#8217;s the perfect place to start</p>
<p>Because a heart that hurts is a heart that works<br />
A heart that hurts is a heart that works</p>
<p><strong>Speak In Tongues</strong></p>
<p>Kitty came back home from on the island<br />
But Kitty came on home without a name<br />
She and me&#8217;s a history of violence<br />
But I long and burn to touch her just the same</p>
<p>So we both can speak in tongues<br />
So we both can speak in tongues</p>
<p>Every single sense in me is heightened<br />
There&#8217;s nothing left inside to rearrange<br />
And like a slave to history and science<br />
I long, I burn to touch you just the same</p>
<p>So we both can speak in tongues<br />
So we both can speak in tongues</p>
<p>Until the universe is done<br />
And the course of time is run<br />
So we both can speak in tongues</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let them have their way<br />
Don&#8217;t let them have their way<br />
You&#8217;re beautiful and so blasé<br />
So please don&#8217;t let them have their way</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t fall back into the decay<br />
There is no law we must obey<br />
Please don&#8217;t let them have their way<br />
Don&#8217;t give in to yesterday</p>
<p>We can build a new tomorrow, today<br />
We can build a new tomorrow, today<br />
We can build a new tomorrow, today<br />
We can build a new tomorrow, today</p>
<p>Today<br />
Today<br />
Today</p>
<p><strong>The Never-Ending Why</strong></p>
<p>The atom will implode<br />
The fragile kingdom fold<br />
The tremor becomes a quake<br />
And there&#8217;s a body in the lake</p>
<p>And as the two of us rebel<br />
And damn you all to Hell<br />
I wonder, is this all there is</p>
<p>Time will help you through<br />
But it doesn&#8217;t have the time<br />
To give you all the answers<br />
To the never-ending why</p>
<p>As the sound of silence grows<br />
As the spiders kiss is laid<br />
The tumour becomes malign<br />
But the kids are doing fine</p>
<p>And as the two of us rebel<br />
And damn you all to Hell<br />
I wonder, is this all there is</p>
<p>Time will help you through<br />
But it doesn&#8217;t have the time<br />
To give you all the answers<br />
To the never-ending why</p>
<p>Time will help you through<br />
But it doesn&#8217;t have the time<br />
To give you all the answers<br />
To the never-ending why&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Julien</strong></p>
<p>The payback is here<br />
Take a look, it&#8217;s all around you<br />
You thought you&#8217;d never shed a tear<br />
So this must astound<br />
And must confound you</p>
<p>Buy a ticket for the train<br />
Hide in a suitcase if you have to<br />
This ain&#8217;t no singing in the rain<br />
This is a twister that would destroy you</p>
<p>You can run but you can&#8217;t hide<br />
Because no one here gets out alive<br />
Find a friend in whom you can confide<br />
Julien, you&#8217;re a slow motion suicide</p>
<p>Fallen angels in the night<br />
And everyone is barred from Heaven<br />
Just one more hit to make it right<br />
But everyone turns into seven</p>
<p>Now that it&#8217;s snowing in your brain<br />
Another ten will not placate you<br />
This ain&#8217;t no killer for the pain<br />
This avalanche will suffocate you</p>
<p>You can run but you can&#8217;t hide<br />
Because no one here gets out alive<br />
Find a friend on whom you can rely<br />
Julien, you&#8217;re being taken for a ride</p>
<p>You can run but you can&#8217;t hide<br />
Because no one here gets out alive<br />
Find a friend in whom you can confide<br />
Julien, you&#8217;re a slow motion suicide</p>
<p>Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide<br />
Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide</p>
<p>Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide<br />
Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide<br />
Slow-motion suicide</p>
<p><strong>Happy You&#8217;re Gone</strong></p>
<p>Breathe me<br />
Every time you close your eyes<br />
Taste me<br />
Every time you cry</p>
<p>This memory<br />
Will fade away and die<br />
Just for today<br />
Breathe me and say goodbye</p>
<p>How many times<br />
How many times<br />
Now I can&#8217;t look you in the eye<br />
Now I can&#8217;t look you in the eye</p>
<p>How many times<br />
How many times<br />
Now I can&#8217;t look you in the eye</p>
<p>See me<br />
In the eyes of another&#8217;s child<br />
Turn away<br />
When you see me walking by, once in a while</p>
<p>This malady<br />
Will fade away and die<br />
Just for today<br />
Breathe me and say goodbye</p>
<p>How many times<br />
How many times<br />
Now I can&#8217;t look you in the eye<br />
Now I can&#8217;t look you in the eye</p>
<p>How many times<br />
How many times<br />
Now I can&#8217;t look you in the eye<br />
I don&#8217;t even want to try</p>
<p>My my<br />
My my<br />
‘Cause every word from you is a lie<br />
My my<br />
My my my my my</p>
<p>How many times<br />
How many times<br />
Now I can&#8217;t look you in the eye<br />
Now I can&#8217;t look you in the eye</p>
<p>How many times<br />
How many times<br />
Now I can&#8217;t look you in the eye</p>
<p><strong>Breathe Underwater</strong></p>
<p>Here comes another fall from grace<br />
I&#8217;m always falling on my face<br />
This attitude that I embrace<br />
For the love I&#8217;m trying to replace<br />
I try to kill the song<br />
‘Cause the melody&#8217;s all wrong<br />
And there&#8217;s a fever coming on</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to reconcile<br />
What I&#8217;ve become<br />
With the wounded child<br />
Hiding deep inside</p>
<p>Breathe underwater<br />
I&#8217;m coming up for air<br />
I wanna see another dawn<br />
Coming up for air<br />
Sick of the slaughter<br />
I&#8217;m coming up for air<br />
‘Cause I&#8217;ve been floating here too long</p>
<p>Take my ego for a ride<br />
‘Cause there&#8217;s nobody by my side<br />
It&#8217;s getting hard to justify<br />
And it won&#8217;t be long ‘til I collide<br />
My weakness is laid bare<br />
As people stop and stare<br />
But it&#8217;s the last time I swear</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to reconcile<br />
What I&#8217;ve become<br />
With the wounded child<br />
Hiding deep inside</p>
<p>Breathe underwater<br />
I&#8217;m coming up for air<br />
I wanna see another dawn<br />
Coming up for air<br />
Sick of the slaughter<br />
I&#8217;m coming up for air<br />
‘Cause I&#8217;ve been floating here too long</p>
<p>Start breathing<br />
Start breathing<br />
Start breathing<br />
Start breathing</p>
<p>Breathe underwater<br />
I&#8217;m coming up for air<br />
I wanna see another dawn<br />
Coming up for air<br />
Sick of the slaughter<br />
I&#8217;m coming up for air<br />
‘Cause I&#8217;ve been floating here too long</p>
<p>I&#8217;m coming<br />
I&#8217;m coming<br />
I&#8217;m coming, coming up for air<br />
Coming up for air<br />
Coming up for air</p>
<p><strong>Come Undone</strong></p>
<p>You don&#8217;t know how you&#8217;re coming across<br />
You don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re coming across<br />
You don&#8217;t know who you&#8217;re coming across<br />
You don&#8217;t know how you&#8217;re coming across<br />
So you come undone</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t know how you&#8217;re coming across<br />
Acting like you don&#8217;t give a toss<br />
Walking around like you&#8217;re on some kind of cross<br />
And it&#8217;s a shame on you the irony&#8217;s lost<br />
When you come undone<br />
You come undone<br />
You know, you come undone<br />
You know, you know, you know</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t know how you&#8217;re coming across<br />
You don&#8217;t know how you&#8217;re coming across<br />
And I don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re aware of the cost</p>
<p>So you come undone<br />
You come<br />
You come undone<br />
You know, you know, you know</p>
<p><strong>Kings Of Medicine</strong></p>
<p>They&#8217;re picking up pieces of me<br />
While they&#8217;re picking up pieces of you<br />
In a bag you will be before the day is over</p>
<p>Were you looking for somewhere to be<br />
Or looking for someone to do<br />
Stupid me to believe that I could trust in stupid you</p>
<p>And on the back of my hand<br />
Were directions I could understand<br />
Now that old buzzard Johnny Walker<br />
Has gone and ruined all our plans<br />
Our best made plans</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t leave me here to pass through time<br />
Without a map or road sign<br />
Don&#8217;t leave me here, my guiding light, ‘cause I</p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t know where to begin<br />
I asked the kings of medicine</p>
<p>They&#8217;re picking up pieces of me<br />
While they&#8217;re picking up pieces of you<br />
Lying on ice you will be before the day is over</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a case in point baby<br />
That you never thought it through<br />
Stupid me to believe I could depend on stupid you</p>
<p>And on the tip of my tongue<br />
Were words that always came out wrong<br />
‘Cause they were drowned in Southern Comfort<br />
And left to dry out in the sun<br />
The noonday sun</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t leave me here to pass through time<br />
Without a map or road sign<br />
Don&#8217;t leave me here, my guiding light, ‘cause I</p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t know where to begin<br />
I asked the kings of medicine</p>
<p>But it seems they&#8217;ve lost their powers<br />
Now all I&#8217;m left with is the hours</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t leave me here<br />
Don&#8217;t leave me here, oh no<br />
I wouldn&#8217;t know where to begin..</p>
