Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say. Home Home again I like to be here When I can When I come home Cold and tired It's good to warm my bones Beside the fire Far away Across the field Tolling on the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spell

In my dream, I was a werewolf My soul was filled with crystal light Lavender ribbons of rain sang Ridding my heart of mortal fright Of mortal fright Broken sundown, fatherless showdown Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah I suck dick Loose grip on gravity falls, sky blinding crumbling walls Never sleep away my memories of Children's things, a young mother's love Before the yearning songs of flesh on flesh Young hearts burst open; wounds bleed fresh Young brother skinny and tall my older walks Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping Flowers in the water, but I am just his daughter Walking down an icy grave, leading to my Schizophrenic father Weeping willow won't you wallow louder Searching for my father's power I'ma shake you off though Get up on that horse and Ride into the sunset Look back with no remorse I'ma shake you off though And look back He's a black magic wielder, some say, a witch Wielded darkness when he was wilin' on his mom as an Unborn child and he was the bastard that broke Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage He was born with the same blue eyes Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate In the night fireworks electric bright And now he's got his own two sons Tries to hide his tears in a world of fun But loveless bedrooms filled with doom Bring silent heartache July to June Swoon over a new young hot flame Mourn the memories later Laugh now, alligator Laugh now, alligator Oh, in a dream, my father came to me And made me swear that I'd keep What's sacred to me And if I get the choice to live in his name I'll pray my way through the rain Singing "oh happy day" (Mortal fright) I don't mean to close the door But for the record, my heart is sore You blew through me like bullet holes Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul You left me broke down, begging for change Had to catch a ride with the man who's deranged He had your hands and my father's face Another western vampire Different time, same place I has dreams that brings me sadness Pain much deeper than a river Sorrow flows through me Tiny waves of shivers Corny movies make me reminisce They break me down easy on this generic love shit First kiss, frog and princess I'ma shake you off though Get up on that horse and Ride into the sunset Look back with no remorse I'ma shake you off though And look back with no remorses

You didn't have to look my way Your eyes still haunt me to this day But you did; yes, you did You didn't have to say my name Ignite my circuits and start a flame But you did Oh, Turpentine erase me whole (Cause I) don't want to live my life alone (Well I) was waiting for you all my life Oh Why Set me free, my Honeybee Honeybee You didn't have to smile at me Your grin's the sweetest that I've ever seen But you did; yes you did You didn't have to offer your hand Cause since I've kissed it I am at your command But you did Oh, Turpentine erase me whole I don't want to live my life alone I was waiting for you all my life Oh Why Set me free, my Honeybee Honeybee Hello, goodbye, 'twas nice to know you How I find myself without you That I'll never know I let myself go Hello, goodbye, I'm rather crazy And I never thought I was crazy But what do I know? Now you have to go Honeybee Honeybee Hello, goodbye, 'twas nice to know you (That I'll never know) How I find myself without you (I let myself go) Hello, goodbye, I'm rather crazy (But what do I know?) And I never thought I was crazy (Now you have to go)

We speak in the store, I'm a sensitive bore You seem markedly more and I'm oozing surprise But it's late in the day and you're well on your way What was golden went gray and I'm suddenly shy And the gathering floozies afford to be choosy And all sneezing darkly in the dimming divide And I have read the right book to interpret your looks But you were knocking me down with the palm of your eye This is unlike the story, it was written to be I was riding its back when it used to ride me And we were galloping manic to the mouth of the source And we were swallowing panic in the face of its force And I was blue I was blue and unwell Made me bolt like a horse And now it's done Watch it go, now You've changed so Water runs from the snow Am I so dear? Do I run rare? You've changed so Peach, plum, pear Peach, plum

I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real A needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts That I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else And I am still right here What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I love Goes away in the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I could keep myself I could find a way

Some Say I have no direction That I'm a light-speed distraction But that's a knee-jerk reaction Still This is the final frontier Everything is so clear To my destiny I steer This life in the stars is all I've ever known Stars and stardust and infinite space is my only home But the moment that I hit the stage Thousands of voices are calling my name And I know in my heart it's been worth it all of the while And as my albums fly off of the shelves Handing out autographed pics of myself This life I've chose isn't easy, but it sure is one heck of a ride At the moment that I hit the stage I hear the universe calling my name And I know deep down in my heart I have nothing to fear And as the solar winds blow through my hair Knowing I have so much more left to share A wandering spirit who's making their way through the cold atmosphere I'll fly like a comet I'll soar like a comet I'll crash like a comet Oh I'm just a comet

I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth, The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composed, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Your faith was strong, but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to the kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips, she drew the hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Maybe there's a god above But all I ever learned from love Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya It's not a cry that you hear at night It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Baby, I've been here before. I know these halls, and I've walked this floor; I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch; Love is not some victory march It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah There was a time when you'd let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do ya? And I remember when I moved in you; The holy dove, she was moving too And every single breath was hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah I've done my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, but I tried to touch I've told the truth; didn't come here just to fool ya. And even though it all went wrong, I'll stand here before the Lord of songs with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah

You were a child, crawling on your knees toward it Make your momma so proud But your voice is too loud We like to watch you laughing You pick the insects off of plants No time to think of consequences Control yourself Take only what you need from it A family of trees wanting To be haunted Control yourself Take only what you need from it A family of trees wanting To be haunted The water is warm, but it's sending me shivers A baby is born Crying out for attention The memories fade like looking through a fogged mirror Decision to decisions are made and not bought But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot, I guess not Control yourself Take only what you need from it A family of trees wanting To be haunted Control yourself Take only what you need from it A family of trees wanting To be haunted Control yourself Take only what you need from it A family of trees wanting To be haunted

And it's go, boys, go They'll time your every breath For every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death But you go Well a process man am I, and I'm telling you no lie I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair And it's go, boys, go They'll time your every breath For every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death But you go Well I've worked among the spinners and I've breathed the oily smoke I've shoveled up the gypsum and it nigh on makes you choke I've stood knee deep in cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn In working rough, I've seen enough to make your stomach turn And it's go, boys, go They'll time your every breath For every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death But you go Well there's overtime and bonus opportunities galore And young men like their money, and they all come back for more But soon you're knocking on and you look older than you should Cos for every bob made on the job, you'll pay in flesh and blood And it's go, boys, go They'll time your every breath For every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death But you go Well a process man am I, and I'm telling you no lie I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair And it's go, boys, go They'll time your every breath For every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death But you go

Long ago Just like the hearse you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on Just like the match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like the blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Came a time When every star fall Brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like the blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Well, if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Can you hear me? Are you near me? Can we pretend to leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight
