I'm tired of blood and over priced bubble gum, mom
nobody wake up there's nothing you could have done wrong
I'm wearing the same grin, I take it all on the chin
I still believe everything that I read
and sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's harder
sometimes it's on sale, sometimes it never fails
I have a psychic and she says I'm lonely
she says my destiny is turning out all wrong
so now I just sit here
and think of meaningful things to say
Symbolistic white walls
surround me and you
every single day
I am cheap and see through
I'm tired of blood and over priced bubble gum
nobody moves and nobody gets hurt for very long
I'm wearing the same skin, I take it all on the chin
I still believe everything that I hear
and sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's easier
and sometimes it's all free
I have a psychic and she says I'm lonely
she says inside of me is turning out all wrong
so now I just sit here and think of meaningless things to say
It's all right now
take the world and make it yours again
Suffocate for me
well you can pretend that you're pretty
it's too loud in here for me to tell
I wonder when you move
do you look to see who's watching you
locked in the groove, little bird
what will it cost to buy you back
to buy your eyes, to buy your smile
well she wants to be the same
she wants a new name
she wants a new disguise
And all i want is you
All I want's the truth
She's got a new disguise
Pull the shade and lock the door
You don't need it anymore
She's got a new disguise
suffocate for me, little bird
mirrors over your bed
god lives above your head, little bird
well I remember everything you say
everything you do, everything you always wanted
breathe for me, little bird
where is that face that you know
Can you spare me a quarter
though I have no one to call
I just though it might save my ass one day
if the sky or the free world were to fall
this is the only thing that I can do
this is the only thing I know how to say
and when everything is gone
and the night it seems grow long
will you play this record anyway
there are a million ways to say it
there are a million lies to choose from
so don't look up
you might find that your head is stuck
no one's going to bail us out of this one
Every time I call your name
somehow I wish it was the same
for me and you and all the things we do
not in vain
Maybe I could give you a ride
though I don't really own a car
well it isn't anything so different
than living underneath a dying star
well this is what we all get up for
when all the clocks go out of time
cause nothing short of
war and death and money
will ever fucking change your mind
there are a million ways to die son
and there are a million places to choose from
so don't look up
you might find that your head is stuck
no one's going to bail us out of this one
Every time I call your name
somehow I wish it was the same
for me and you and all the things we do
not in vain
and whoo will kill this native son
who will learn from everything that we have done
and who will we get to stand up for tomorrow
Take me to the shore
and warp me in a blind tomorrow
I won't fight no more
and I won't scream
maybe we'll be washed away
maybe I just need a holiday
This time we'll get
a room with a view and a velvet painting
and this time we'll stay inside
until the lights go down
over the palm trees and the sand
Buy me the blue sky
and wrap me in clouds of blasphemy
in the end I won't ask why
you can do what you want with me
maybe we'll be washed away
maybe we just need a holiday
This time we'll get
a room with a view and a velvet painting
and this time we'll stay inside
until the lights come up
and everything's vermilion
Take me to the shore
and throw me into the water
I won't fight no more
no, I won't say a thing
I made a movie about the end of the world
it was 12 seconds long and it didn't have a plot
it just happens
and that's why it's in black and white
the characters don't talk or move around
they just stare up at the sky, frozen
and the light, the light is numb, the light's off
the light is just a thumb nail sketch of god
god...
somewhere, someone is crying
the camera sweeps over a desolate street
holding a mother and her child
the kid is calm and she is shaking
the camera passes into the sun
come at last to be undone
panicking, she tries to run
the kid is calm
and then the credits rolls
and every name is my name
Make me your animal
make me your freak and i will pack them in
it's understandable
after all you're only human
all this time it's been killing me
all this time it's been caving in my head
killing me
alive, alive, alive
you're dead
Haven't slept in years
haven't talked to anybody else
Make me your cannibal
make me your product and I will make you rich
it's still fashionable, isn't it?
all this time it's been killing you
all this time it's been caving in your head
killing you
alive, alive, alive
you're dead
Just slide the hood, it's nothing much
you be Starsky and I'll be Hutch
they'll never find out where we'll go
we can forward our calls illegaly to Mexico
you can be the sleeping cure
and i'll memorize subversive literature
and from our secret mountain base
we can broadcast all over the place
Radio bomb
the sound of freedom
We can launce a sattelite
so you can hear the day in the middle of the night
and the RLI and the FCC
they'll be driving around in their little undercover RV's
and they'll call us terrorists
they'll try to stop us in the name of government interest
from our secret underwater base
we are coming to you all over the place
Radio bomb
the sound of freedom
We can launce a sattelite
so you can hear the day in the middle of the night
and the RLI and the FCC
they'll be driving around in their little undercover RV's
and they'll call us terrorists
they'll try to stop us in the name of government interest
from our secret underwater base
we are coming to you all over the place
Radio bomb
the sound of freedom
Is there anything that I need to say
that hasn't been said before
I have been polite for so long
why should i be anymore
better now than never, better loud than clever
better just to play the fool
it's times like this
when you just close your eyes and kiss
cause everything after this
is just bullshit and being cruel
so hold me up, I'm going out
and don't wait up, I won't be coming home
If you lay me down in concrete fields
will I dream of grass and opera
this is the sound and how it feels
to be dead
In the end, there will be fire and brimstone
and no one will be there to answer the telephone
you are the only one I'll miss
you are the only answer at a time like this
she is the trick of my trade
she is the thing that can't be made
she is gold and nothing less
and she is fearless
so hold me up, we're going out
and don't wait up, we won't be coming home
You hold it in your hand
you keep it in your heart
you hide it in your head
and you use it when you have to
she is the trick of my trade
these are the things that can't be made
stay yourself and nothing less
stay fearless
A man once told me that life was like a collage
he said there's nothing much to spies like us
just killing time, that's all
and there are spacecraft orbiting the earth
guided by 90 year old Russians that haven't heard
the war is over, how do you feel
and how have you been baby
well she got married and she had kids
and they fear sex and not the bomb
and the rest is just adlibbed
and me I'm waiting for something
that does not come
for something to crack
for something to go wrong
I'm inside out and I'd say
This is where we get off
this is where we do anything we want
and this is where I amuse you
A man once told me that life was like a collage
he said the truth is not radio friendly espionagev the war is over, how do you feel
and where have you been baby
well we got stuck and we got lost
between good-bye and the chemical sky
and a nuclear albatross
when I sleep, I see rain
when I'm alone, I am in pain
and everything is not the same
as on the big screen
I'm inside out and I'd say
this is where we get off
