CELEBRATE
You’re short on time
The clock face is saying hey make up your mind
It’s sliding by
The hand you are gripping’s a quarter to five
You’re terrified
Of what will come after you run out of time
Don’t you ever wait until it’s safe to celebrate
And your days have gone to waste
Celebrate my love
Inundate with trust
Celebrate my love
Ooh
You’re right on time
Let go of the wheel and then close your eyes
It’s sliding by
The lights of the highway won’t hear you cry
It’s no surprise
You’re closing in softly on your demise
Don’t you ever wait until it’s safe to celebrate
And your days have gone to waste
Celebrate my love
Inundate with trust
Celebrate my love
Ooh
Celebrate my love
Inundate with trust
Celebrate my love
Ooh
Celebrate my love
Inundate with trust
Celebrate my love
Ooh
Celebrate my love
Inundate with trust
Celebrate my love
Ooh
OUR FIRST DATE
Try to guess your age
Bedroom eyes backstage
Hold your stare and count to ten
One… two…
Said goodbye that night
Though I knew that I’d
See you soon, It’d be alright
Three… four…
Our first date
In a dreamlike state
flashbulb rain
in a trance for days, yeah
Our first date
In a dreamlike state
Got me lost in your eyes
Got me lost in your eyes, I say
You are so right
But I’ll never see the light
Cause you’ll always be
One step, two step
Three step towards the door at night
Now you’re waiting for
Another man so raw
To take you close by the hand
And then dance, dance, dance
I’ve been wandrin’ ’bout
The streets of Brooklyn south
But all my friends moved away
The ones I talked to day to day
Our first date
In a dreamlike state
Flashbulb rain
In a trance for days, yeah
Our first date
In a dreamlike state
Got me lost in your eyes
Got me lost in your eyes, I say
You are so right
But I’ll never see the light
Cause you’ll always be
One step, two step
Three step towards the door at night
You are so right
But I’ll never see the light
Cause you’ll always be
One step, two step
Three step towards the door at night
Our first date
In a dreamlike state
Flashbulb rain
In a trance for days, yeah
Our first date
In a dreamlike state
Got me lost in your eyes
Got me lost in your eyes, I say
You are so right
But I’ll never see the light
Cause you’ll always be
One step, two step
Three step towards the door at night
SLOW DANCE
I’ll hold back my tears
Your arms slung round my neck
Sweet breath of your words in my ear
Sending ripples down my spine
I’m closing the door
But you’re breaking it down with your smile
When I move closer, I beg
When I won’t stay, there’s nothing left to say
Oh babe…
It’s the final song
I’ve done something far too wrong
You’re shaking, I’m tasting
The salt of your tears on my tongue
When I move closer, I beg
When I pull ‘way, there’s nothing left to say
When I move closer, I beg
When I won’t stay, you leave me anyway
Oh babe…
Left foot first
Then right, I’m cursed
Constantly dancing with you in my mind
To this song every time
Right foot back
Then all goes black
Forgetting the steps in the order to break down
The wall in my mind
When I move closer, I beg
When I pull ‘way, there’s nothing left to say
When I move closer, I beg
When I won’t stay, you leave me anyway
Oh babe…
SELF INDULGENT
Don’t tell me I’m worthless
Tell me I’m worth it
Tell me I’m a self indulgent good for nothing
Motherfucker with a pretty face
Don’t tell me I’m worthless
Tell me I’m worth it
Tell me that the only way you’d see me in
New York is just to put me in my place
Tell me that i’m gonna change
My mind to your hard-wired brain
We’ll see, tonight I’ll be the
Same as every other guy
I’ll sleep around in broad daylight
And tell you that I care about them too
But not as much as you
Don’t tell me I’m worthless
Tell me I’m worth it
Tell me I’m a self indulgent good for nothing
Motherfucker with a pretty face
Tell me I’m worth it
Don’t tell me I’m worthless
Tell me that the only way you’d see me in
New York is just to put me in my place
Tell me I should feel the shame
Of stranger’s eyes on naked skin
I’ll feel alive, I’m getting
Boozed up in a crowded party
People staring at our bodies
We’re both fucked up and getting fuckd-er up
Don’t tell me I’m worthless
Tell me I’m worth it
Tell me I’m a self indulgent good for nothing
Motherfucker with a pretty face
Tell me I’m worth it
Don’t tell me I’m worthless
Tell me that the only way you’d see me in
New York is just to put me in my place
Don’t think I really wanna change
My ways, I’m good, I think I’ll stay this way
The other guys are asking who’s that
Lucky bastard dancing with those chicks?
Ass naked, their costumes have been ripped
Three bodies, their limbs are all entwined
Held tight to whatever they can find
Torn to shreds, yeah we ruined Chris’ blinds
Warm touch and their tongues are all aligned
These freaks made the girls ask if they wanna join
“Dude, my blinds! My blinds!”
NEVER KNEW YA
Swear I never knew ya
Swear I never knew ya at all
Though I tried to do ya
You took me for a man who takes all
When I fall for your
Blue eyes baby, I am taken
For a fool who sticks around
You know I’m right here baby
When you bite my bottom lip
And tell me I’m yours
Babe you’re a liar
You’re a liar
Now I pass right through ya
Chill me like a ghost in the hall
Break right through my window
A burning where your footsteps fall
When I fall for your
Blue eyes baby, I am taken
For a fool who sticks around
You know I’m right here baby
When you bite my bottom lip
And tell me I’m yours
Babe you’re a liar
You’re a liar
When I fall for your
Blue eyes baby, I am taken
For a fool who sticks around
You know I’m right here baby
When you bite my bottom lip
And tell me I’m yours
Babe you’re a liar
You’re a liar
LAURA
Oh Laura stay with me a while
Look at me and smile
I don’t know what
I would do with you around
Helpless for the fire inside
Embers spring to life
I won’t fight back
Not against this swelling sound
Of music ringing in my ears
Bringing me to tears
A beating drum
Is my heart when you’re around
Oh Laura stay with me a while
Look at me and smile
I don’t know what
I would do with you around
ROLLING TRAIN
I’m flying in from JFK to Burbank
You’re singing in my ear
‘bout pretty boys
I’m taking in each word, each breath, each heart breaking
It’s hard for me to hear through all the noise
Now I’m stripping every item from your body
Exposing old birthmarks, tan lines, and scars
Let’s get weird, obscene, uncouth and naughty
Let’s expose the freak we didn’t know you are
I’ve done nothing wrong writing all these songs
‘bout these girls I knew yesterday
Bye bye today, you’ve gone away when I wanted you to stay
Well I guess it’s a rolling train
Though we stand apart on separate coastlines
I’ll hold you close no matter where you are
Let’s be real when measured as the crow flies
Los Angeles is still real fuckin’ far
Yeah I’ve done nothing wrong writing all these songs
‘bout these girls I knew yesterday
Bye bye today, you’ve gone away when I wanted you to stay
Well I guess it’s a rolling train
I’ve done nothing wrong writing all these songs
‘bout these girls I knew yesterday
Bye bye today, you’ve gone away when I wanted you to stay
Well I guess it’s a rolling train
Way back when it all fell through
And the bottle knew that I wanted you
You were whippin’ me around and around
We go, we go, we go
Way back when it all fell through
And we both knew you didn’t want it to
You were whippin’ me around and around
We go, we go, we go
Yeah I’ve done nothing wrong writing all these songs
‘bout these girls I knew yesterday
Bye bye today, you’ve gone away when I wanted you to stay
Well I guess it’s a rolling train
I’ve done nothing wrong writing all these songs
‘bout these girls I knew yesterday
Bye bye today, you’ve gone away when I wanted you to stay
Well I guess it’s a rolling train
Yeah I guess it’s a rolling train
Yeah I guess it’s a rolling train
PULL THE RUG
Move along quit stallin’ me
I gotta lotta obligations, got places to be, you won’t
Buy yourself no time
Feel alive now that I can breathe
I gotta pull the rug from under you so I can see that I’m
Guilty of no crime
Pull the rug from ‘neath your stance
Dig in hard so that I cannot pass
Won’t be long ‘fore I’m gone at last
Good God at last
Just waiting for this to pass
Don’t wreck my set, now why the heck
You gotta go ahead and wring me by the neck, I’m just
Try’na get some rest
I’ll lock the wall, I’ll block your calls
I’ll make sure I’ve no stock at all in your
Restraint from blind assault
Pull the rug from ‘neath your stance
Dig in hard so that I cannot pass
Won’t be long ‘fore I’m gone at last
Good God at last
Just waiting for this to pass
Pull the rug from ‘neath your stance
Dig in hard so that I cannot pass
Won’t be long ‘fore I’m gone at last
Good God at last
Just waiting for this to pass
Pull the rug from ‘neath your stance
Dig in hard so that I cannot pass
Won’t be long ‘fore I’m gone at last
Good God at last
Just waiting for this to pass
Just waiting for this to pass
Just waiting for this to pass
THE BENDS
Cross my arms
Shake my head
As I let you come back again
All alarms
Flashing red
I should be turning ‘round instead
Here we are
At the end
Of a rope that’s thin as thread
At the start
Of the mend
Your love is giving me the bends
And my spine is filling
Up with mal-intent
And my lungs are spilling
Out my final breath
My precious breath
Break apart
My intent
Dissect the meaning that I meant
Who we are
What I said
When my face was burning red
Forging on
No regret
At least that’s what I’ll pretend
Write a song
Streaked with pen
Now my face is soaking wet
And my spine is filling
Up with mal-intent
And my lungs are spilling
Out my final breath
My precious breath
And my spine is filling
Up with mal-intent
And my lungs are spilling
Out my final breath
My precious breath
Ooh ooh, oh no
Ooh ooh, oh I’ll pretend
Ooh ooh, oh no
Ooh ooh, oh I’ll pretend it all
And my spine is all wrong
But I’ll pretend
And my lungs are not strong
But I’ll pretend it all
And my spine is filling
Up with mal-intent
And my lungs are spilling
Out my final breath
My precious breath
And my spine is filling
Up with mal-intent
And my lungs are spilling
Out my final breath
My precious breath
LIVE OR DIE
Dark meets light under strobe white
I feel your fingers trace my neck
Under the city night and it feels right
Oh I feel oh so alive
Hyde creeps in as I grab your waist
I don’t know why you need a name
With such a lovely face, it don’t seem fake
No it feels just the same
Eyes look alive
My heart is paralyzed
By your poor disguise
I might just live or die
Live or die
Take me back, now we’re up in your flat
Your heavy breathing in my ear is like a
Heart attack and it’s all black
No going back
Next I know I’m lying down on your floor
You have a gun against my temple
I’m not asking for more
It don’t feel right, feel right, feel right
I’m froze to my core
Eyes look alive
My heart is paralyzed
By your poor disguise
I might just live or die
Eyes look alive
My heart is paralyzed
By your poor disguise
I might just live or die
Live or die
Now I wake in a blackened state
The drugs are wearing off enough
For me to feel the pain
And I’m afraid
It seems too late
TWINE
You wrap me up
And press me to your neck
Close my eyes into your skin
As time moves on
My mind has come to rest
All of its burden again
You held me up
Suspended by a wire
A deliberate length of twine
If you move on
Then I will still remember
The brush of your cheek upon mine
You’re short on time.
The clock face is saying “hey make up your mind.”
It’s sliding by.
The hand you are gripping’s
a quarter to five.
You’re terrified
Of what will come after you run out of time
Don’t you ever wait until it’s safe to celebrate
And your days have gone to waste.
Celebrate my love
inundated with trust
Celebrate my love
Ooh.
You’re right on time.
Let go of the wheel and then close your eyes.
It’ssliding by.
The lights of the highway won’t hear you cry.
It’s no surprise.
You’re closing in softly on your demise
try to guess your age
bedroom eyes backstage
I hold your stare and count to ten
