(spoken sample: "take this first song and uh, dance I mean this, uh, first, let's start playing and dance.") Well I just shot a man to death I´ve gotta blow him out of my head He fired back and then it stopped A final shot and a final breath Afraid to stop and afraid to check The smell of fear, the color red Had him with a 2 inch shell Well it´s a brutal smell of death x4 Saw my reflection in a spoon. I had it with my non-adequate excuse I´ve got a supermanic soul I´ve pulled the trigger in the record room x2 I put a stop to his loonytoons I turned him down and then left the room These are for you Dead - break this These are for you Dead - break this Dead! (talking samples) These are for you Dead - break this These are for you Dead - break this * 3
Don't wanna hear your voice Don't really know if I have a choice Don't wanna be the one that makes you forget You're choking on regret ( * 2) You're choking on death Don't think we've ever met Don't think you offered up a God give name Who did the talking then, the whip or the chain? You've got pleasure from the sentence of pain But then they get you with the burden of shame The true measure if the one that remains Don't wanna .. Don't wanna .. Don't wanna be your cane Don't wanna be your cane baby Don't wanna be your cane Don't wanna be your cane baby Don't wanna be your cane (very fast wailing sample: In a concrete cell, No soul would dare to tell She craves to cup his mind She makes him give them time She likes to throw a whip And see a young boy slip She likes to see him crawl Right up the chamber walls When their eyes are covered like vultures she hovers She gets her love and hate When they scream no more She gives them just one more Won't let you kill me just yet Don't even care if there's a price on my head Don't wanna ID up in a bloody refrain Don't wanna be your .. Don't wanna be your cane Don't wanna be your cane baby Don't wanna be your cane I said, I don't ...don't... I don't wanna be you cane (* 2)
Wild skies Full moon and thoughts collide We look for answers in those catatonic, bloodshot eyes The eyes that vomit are the ones that are in love Those aren't tears, They're just bad bad blood Just bad bad blood! Wild lives The big surprise. We get our clues from what The funhouse mirrors authorize A ray of thought turns happy endings into mud Where there's denial, there's bad blood Chorus: (wailing sample: Do you remember the strain? Do you remember the pain? Do you remember the cause or the blame?) Bad Blood! (wailing sample: Do you remember need? Do you remember lust? Do you surrender your greed or your trust? ) Bad Blood! Wild eyes He's finally come alive How'd all things mediocre Wind up all things all the time A steady stream of madness Rises to a flood The clock is ticking for Bad Blood Chorus. [fade out...]
I seem to find myself each time I run away Don't keep me livin' in some yester-body salad days Sometimes they reappear just like the sands of time Or like some quick sand baby running off like summer wine Same faces broken homes Those memories have fled All tears within me now are dormant or dead My viens are bursting with a thirst that I cannot ignore Alright Eureka Pile Is now my savior, or my whore There's not a day goes by when things aren't what they seem I always wake up baby cause I always wake up mean My life may ain't come to much Ignore my history Least my Eureka Pile can change the way I feel Ain't the way I see x2 My Eureka Pile and me.
I need help I need help I don't even know who I am no more I'm gonna get some help Help me Step! Step, step it up baby! Got a question for you: like, who, what, where, why? Are we even here? Or are we following alone like another lost another Indian looking for his tribe? Or his telephone. Might as well find something new Not now! Got space, got time, to anesthetize Step (wails) I like to apologize to all my wonderful fans For sticking by me through such troubled times I love all of you so much I wish I could take you all to the Betty Ford Clinic Yeah Step! Step it up baby! We gotta sell instutions of recovery, We gotta kill distributions of this pill I take So I am so relieved that there's a COD and it's comfortable now how can I stay Makes me wanna vomit just so I can show What kind of poison we've been feeding our soul Step x4 Step! Step, step it up baby! Well I'm living in the program and I'm down on my knees Well I'm living in the toilet and I'm totally clean I gotta gift called life and why can't you, so can you, so can you, So can you, Cause, I'm okay, you're okay, I'm okay you're okay, why me, why not me? Turn the page and sing that I love all my fans In these times of nakedness If I could I'd take any one of you with me Put you right underneath my pillow [fade out..]
The moths in my eyes never bring me no sleep They just strap me inside with the demons I keep Gotta leave me alone Gotta let it be long Tired of living, too tired to die Make a shark keep swimming when he don't know why Gotta Gasoline fin Only thing that he wears Not dead yet, just a moving kind of slow Not dead yet, just a don't know where to go Not dead yet, just a leave me alone Not dead yet, in the nursing home Sleeping and walking and an old man come Just to prop up my feet with a broken old horse Stop riding those rails Stop setting those sails The back room cook Has got an old trombone While he's stamping out the fires with a broken beef bone Got a troubled soul Runnin' hot and cold Not dead yet, just a moving kind of slow Not dead yet, just a don't know where to go Not dead yet, just a leave me alone Not dead yet in the nursing home I said I'm not dead yet in the nursing home Taking on water like a dead man's boat He need to kick that pretty or a wake up flat broke Got a fire inside It's gonna burn him alive Talking in circles till the roof is blown Got a bed and three square in the nursing home Gonna say bye-bye He's gonna walk on by Not dead yet, just a moving kind of slow Not dead yet, just a don't know where to go Not dead yet, just a leave me alone Not dead yet in the nursing home I said I'm not dead yet in the nursing home
I love the silence I'm in. I think I dreamed this before Some lives seem so incomplete Some just keep coming back for more Where did the time go? x3 I can't remember how it ends Don't even know who I am A fading memory A fading image redrawn Can't wait forever more Where did the time go? x3 Remembering things I never said I've seen the faces before I hope the future isn't dead The dead keep asking for more Where did the time go? x3
If the child slaughtered Then found later Wrapped up and withered After many years Crawled out from under Untold layers To take a shallow breath and listen What would it hear? Would the child answer Full of anger Full of rage and bloodlust spoken but never shown With a seeming riddle Or a puzzle Neither the brutal nor the timid could have known Deep down inside, too dark to see The sex demands a shot of something What violent offer could there be? Here is the end Here is nothing Nothing After breathing in their vacant? air (begin there?) After beating through what wasn't there Death became the only answer, but not the cure The final act became the meaning No-one cared Deep down inside, too dark to see The sex demands a shot of something What violent offer could there be? Here is the end Here is nothing Nothing
