TIGERLILY
Grown women and their children
gotta stay down, gotta stay put
but it all works out for the businessmen
"Gotta get it, gotta get it while the gettin' is good"
I'm so much more afraid of death now
then when I was young
I think about it all the time, bite down onto my tongue
I savor every single breath now
like this is the ONE
Someday I'll pass away
and burn a hole right into the sun
Tigerlily, Oh no, don't run away now...
Tigerlily, Oh no, don't run away
Tigerlily, Oh no, don't run away now...
Tigerlily, Oh no, don't run away
Growin' in him was a villian
with a big pitch fork and a big red grin
and it all works out for the citizen
"Gotta get 'em, gotta get 'em while they're innocent"
I think I saw you in the bathroom
you were checking your hair
You said "Don't worry"
I said "No, thats why I am here"
Because my friends are in a hurry
(They sit up in their chairs)
and yet I'm buried underneath them
in a coffin of fear
Tigerlily, Oh no, don't run away now...
Tigerlily, Oh no, don't run away
Tigerlily, Oh no, don't run away now...
Tigerlily, Oh no, don't run away
Call me crazy or call me lazy
but don't you don't you dare try to save me
Call me crazy or call me lazy
don't you don't you dare try to save me
(Every bone in my body was made to be broken)
GROW
I picked her up at the airport
and dropped her off
right there in the middle of nowhere
Like a kitten stuck in a snowstorm
Oh, you know that I'm here and I'm too scared
to get up and walk away
No, first you must learn to crawl
You can do what you can
but you can not control it all
Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee
Gimmee time to grow
I need space, time, sun
and water to grow
She got down on the carpet
So we lay there
smack dab in the middle of warfare
I don't know how any of this got started
All I know is I'm here and I'm prepared
to get up and walk away
No, first I must learn to crawl
I can do what I can
but I can not make sense of it all
Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee
Gimmee time to grow
I need space, time, sun
and water to grow
MY BETTER HALF
My right eye sees the future
My left eye sees today
My head can't tell the difference
and my heart pumps blood both ways
These costumes keep on changing
These kids, they just can't stay still
These girls come runnin', come runnin', come, come
with estrogen in their gills
My right hand holds the fire
My left hand holds the flame
My body will do what I tell it to do
and my soul will roll in pain
But we knew from the start that we were already done
Time sure flies when you're havin' to run
When I open my heart, I swallow my tongue
Time sure flies when you're havin' to run, run, run
My right foot does the walkin'
My left foot's just for kicks
yeah, my top lip does the talkin'
Boy, my bottom lip does the trick
My better half does the thinkin'
My enemies never pay...
But if you're over 25
and you're still alive,
God damn it, get out of my way!
LITTLE DARLING
We will all suffer
We're all gonna suffer
Sorry little girl its true
We're all gonna suffer
We will all suffer
and there's nothing
anybody can do...
So get along little puppy, you've got to be brave
Its the mescaline cut with the MDMA
Go along little darling, tomorrow we'll pay
Tomorrow we'll pay, tomorrow we'll pay...
WILD TO BE WRECKAGE FOREVER
The Demon
Cutting me carefully with the bayonet
Somebody's
Hot on my heels and they're full of regret
The Killer
Building a model of the day that we met
The Baker
Late on an order, filling pies with his pets
WILD TO BE WRECKAGE FOREVER
I'm burning alive, making a living
and I am trying to hide from an entire city
and I'm making a living, burning alive
but I'm tired of giving it all up in my mind
I'm burning alive, making a living
and I am trying to hide from an entire city
and I'm making a living, burning alive
but I'm tired of giving it all up in my mind
WILD TO BE WRECKAGE FOREVER
FUN AND GAMES
Raise your hand for the opposite sex
bring it back down for the biblical text
Raise your hand for the opposite sex
bring it back down for the biblical text
Sugar high Sugar Low Sugar high Sugar low
I'm really only here for the fun and the games
But if it takes one to know one, no one can equal my shame
So then the beast replied: I was born to be tamed
But if love lasts forever, what keep on fanning the flame?
Raise your hand in eternal bliss
bring it back down, can't get no better then this
Raise your hand in eternal bliss
bring it back down, can't get no better then this
Sugar high Sugar Low Sugar high Sugar low
Sit on the roof
Stare at your shoes
Breathe in your nose
Spit out a tooth
Open your eyes
Widen your reach
Swallow your pride, boy
the world is a LEECH
TOO NERVOUS
Your eyes are on me
and i can't even breathe
i'm too nervous
I know killer bees
carry deadly disease
for a purpose
You do as you please
and you crawl on your knees
you're so perfect
You climb every tree
and you love every leaf
you're so... gorgeous
I said to the wolf as we both walked away:
"Things that boggle the mind brighten the day"
he turned and he grinned and attempted to say:
I'm too nervous
If I fall from the sky
and I land by your side
will you notice?
I'm empty inside
but I know we'll survive
we're like locusts
We will never die
because we live our lives
out of focus
If I fall from the sky
will the sun ever rise?
Oh, my god...its enormous
I said to the wolf as we both walked away:
"Things that boggle the mind brighten the day"
he turned and he grinned and attempted to say:
I'm too nervous
Then I said to the goose as he tightened the noose:
"Do you think that piece of rope is big enough for two?"
and he turned and he grinned and attempted to prove
I'm too nervous
And I said to the dog as he opened his heart:
"Do you think that this feeling is only the start?"
and he turned and he grinned and attempted to bark:
I'm too nervous
SARAH
Sarah, I'm not a real doctor
I'm not a real doctor, Sarah
She said I look good in her dress
and she got me into this mess
but we will be best friends forever
Indeed, I wish I had never met her
Sarah, I'm not a real doctor
I'm not a real doctor, Sarah
