see the little brown boy
he's as old as me
he looks just like chocolate
oh Daddy, can't you see
we are both in first grade
he sits next to me
he took care of me, Dad
when i skinned my knee
he sang a song so pretty
on the jungle gym
when Ricky tried to punch him
i punched Ricky in the chin
Dad, can he come over
to play Nintendo with me?
we could have such fun, Dad
what'd you say, Dad?
...why not?
WHY NOT?
oh
i
see

This woman

i can still see your head on the pillow
i can still smell your manly perfume
i can still hear your heart beating darling
long after you've left the room
im thinkin about you when im workin
you're breakin my power to concentrate
i better be careful cuz i might get fired
for thinkin bout the fire we started yesterday
this woman's in love with you darlin
this woman don't think you can do no wrong wrong wrong
but i feel it's only fair to warn you
this woman don't stay in love for long
and i could swear that i'll love you forever
and when forever is over i'm gonna be kind
cuz i don't see any reason to leave a heart all broken and bleedin
specially when that little heart might be mine
cuz one day i'll roll over and it'll be over
simple as that

Come away from it
04:29

next to the glass ashtray
in a little plastic baggy
is a bitter rock remedy
really good stuff
but you take offense to the fact
that i'm so hellbent
what am i tryina tell you?
this world just isn't beautiful enough
i wanna get off
this is my stop
i gotta have my triple-decker super-fudge sundae
with a fuckin cherry on top
what makes me so lavish
that i can afford
to spend every sober moment
feeling angry and bored?
why don't i come away from it?
we used to hold hands down
those unfamiliar streets
i used to take you diving down
into the watery blue deep
but now i'm tryina find every tiny treasure
every shiny penny of pleasure
to satisfy my selfish purpose
before i swim back up to the surface
and i guess you think i think you don't like it anymore
but you'll tell me what you don't like
you don't like that you took it on your fuckin self
to put the training wheels back onto my bike
and you don't like all this extravagance
or the way i taste when you kiss me
you think i left you alone out here
baby don't you think i miss me?

what makes you gold-flecked? you
talk backwards like i do
hold still your cold voodoo
just smacked her upside the head
blood squeezed thru your veins
you wear memories as false pain
who better than you to bless her
baptize the dead
all's fair in New Orleans
so spend the night whispering
can't stand the heat
get out of here
warm blooded cold hearted
you can't finish what you started
can't stand the heat
get out of here
clear sailing murky water
you're still the smoothest talker
all twisted up ham-fisted
you don't want the devil's daughter
wasted inebriated
you don't her but you brought her here
all's fair in New Orleans
so spend the night whimpering
can't stand the heat
get out of here
warm blooded cold hearted
you can't finish what you started
can't stand the heat
get out of here
one step backwards
you lost your way
your haunted virtue
you threw it away

Before the eclipse
04:27

got a solution
let's all die
i'll meet you my darling
on the other side
come kiss me goodbye
and i'll kiss you goodbye
no one deserves me
no one preserves me
no one cares
no one cares
no one cares
stab a question
and bleed the answer
i need you my darling
so don't fade further
in the zenith
sleeps the moon
the carriage is waiting
we should leave soon
before the eclipse before the eclipse
no one deserves me
no one preserves me
no one cares
no one cares
no one cares about me
with
homicide
suicide
pesticide
choose a side
fuck your pride
life's a sinkhole
melt inside
suicide
homicide
pesticide
choose a side
fuck your pride
life's a sinkhole
melt inside
underneath the murky depths
i surely have become your burden
this one is about nothing in particular
be sure not to carry this one too far
with
homicide
suicide
pesticide
choose a side
fuck your pride
life's a sinkhole
melt inside
suicide
homicide
pesticide
choose a side
fuck your pride
life's a sinkhole
melt inside
i love to cry i must confess
bury me in her wedding dress and
i'm a bit too petty to be so confident
and here i go to the convent
no one deserves me
no one preserves me
no one cares
no one cares
no one cares about me
with
homicide
suicide
pesticide
choose a side
fuck your pride
life's a sinkhole
melt inside
suicide
homicide
pesticide
choose a side
fuck your pride
life's a sinkhole
melt in
a hidden treasure
lay beneath
was lost with the sink
of blood-stained teeth

Let my people go
03:00
|

the devil has designed my death
and he's waiting to be sure
that plenty of his black sheep die
before he finds a cure
oh Lord Jesus do you think i've served my time?
the eight legs of the devil now are crawling up my spine
the firm hand of the devil now
is rockin me to sleep
i force my blind eyes open Lord
but i'm sinkin in the deep
oh Lord Jesus do you think i've served my time?
the eight legs of the devil now are crawling up my spine
i go to sleep each evening now
dreamin of the grave
and see the friends i used to know
callin out my name
oh Lord Jesus do you think i've served my time?
the eight legs of the devil now are crawling up my spine
oh Lord Jesus here's the news from those below
the eight legs of the devil will not let my people go

Lazarus
03:55

look up here i'm in heaven
i've got scars that can't be seen
i've got drama can't be stolen
everybody knows me now
look up here man i'm in danger
i've got nothing left to lose
i'm so high it makes my brain whirl
dropped my cellphone down below
ain't that just like me?
by the time i got to New York
i was living like a king
then i used up all my money
i was lookin for your ass
this way or no way
you know i'll be free
just like that bluebird
ain't that just like me

why do i feel so discouraged?
why do the shadows fall?
why does my heart feel so lonely
and long for oblivion?
for sadness is my portion
my constant friend is he
his eye is on the sparrow
and i know that he watches me
i sing because i'm happy
i sing because i'm free
