Come         Home         Stuck between the do or die          I feel emaciated          Hard to breathe I try and try          I'll get asphyxiated          Swinging from the tallest height          With nothing left to hold on to          Every sky is blue          But not for me and you                  Come home (x4)                  Glass and petrol vodka gin          It feels like breathing methane          Throw yourself from skin to skin          And still it doesn't dull the pain          Vanish like a lipstick trace          It always blows me away                  Every cloud is gray          With dreams of yesterday                  Come home (x8)                  Always goes against the grain          And I can try and deny it          Give a monkey half a brain          And still he's bound to fry it          Now the happening scene is dead          I used to want to be there too                  Every sky is blue          But not for me and you                  Come home (x8)

Teenage         Angst         Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes.          Like the roadkill, I'm paralysed.          You see through my disguise                  At the drive-in, double feature,          pull the lever, break the fever          and say your last goodbyes.                  Since I was born I started to decay.          Now nothing ever ever goes my way                  One fluid gesture, like stepping back in time.          Trapped in amber, petrified.          And still not satisfied                  Airs and social graces, elocution so divine.          I'll stick to my needle, and my favourite waste of time,          both spineless and sublime.                  Since I was born I started to decay.          Now nothing ever - ever goes my way.

Bionic         Harder, faster          For ever after          Harder, faster          For ever after          Harder, faster          For ever after          For ever after                  None of you can make the grade (x4)                  Harder, faster          For ever after          Harder, faster          For ever after          Harder, faster          For ever after          For ever after                  None of you can make the grade (x4)

36         Degrees         We were tight, but it falls apart as silver turns to blue.          Waxing with a candlelight, and burning just for you.          Allocate your sentiment, and stick it in a box.          I've never been an extrovert, but i'm still breathing.                  Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)                  With hindsight, I was more than blind, lost without a clue.          Thought I was getting carat gold, and what I got was you.          Stuck inside the circumstances, lonely at the top.          I've always been an introvert          happily bleeding.                  Someone tried to do me ache (it's what i'm afraid of)                  4 7 2 3 9 8 5 - I gotta breathe to stay alive,          and 1 4 2 9 7 8 - feels like I'm gonna suffocate.          14 16 22 - this skin that turns to blister blue.          Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees,          shoulders toes and knees,I'm 36 degrees,          shoulder toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees,          shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees

Scared                  Know that bitches face??         All seen better days         So quick to blow your fuse         But that's the life you choose                 Just like every lichen, how you stick to me         If your luck is dying, go and plant a tree         With artistic license, always comes for free         Just like every lichen, how you stick to me                  Weightless.. Bare.. Faithless... Scared                  Snook yourself backstage         Paris sets the rage         coursing on your brain         so now I slip away                  Just like every lichen, how you stick to me         If your luck is dying now, go and plant a tree         With poetic license, always comes for free         Just like every lichen, how you stick to me                  Weightless.. Bare.. Faithless... Scared

Jesus         Loves Me Jesus loves me, this i know 'Cause the bible tells me so Little ones to him belong They are week, but he is strong Yes, jesus loves me Yes, jesus loves me Yes, jesus loves me The bible tells me so

Long Division Well I was lost in conversation When he called you were sick and blue All that I could do Is make your fears come true You see I’m sick and tired of masturbation Sick and tired of all this yucky glue All that I can do Is make your fears come true Then multiply Multiply Tears will multiply Well I was lost in contemplation When he called you could not get through And all that call could do Is make your fears come true You see I’m sick and tired of our confrontations Sick and tired, you stick to me like glue All that I could do Is make your fears come true Then multiply Multiply Tears will multiply Multiply Your love for me will die
