Lyrics

small minds multiply
small dreams terrify
here we go...

my flesh, crucified
my king, take your eyes  [?]
here we go...

listen to my love song,
baby don't break my heart
listen to my love song,
baby don't break my heart

my words criticize
your space, let aside  [?]
here we go..

listen to my love song,
and baby don't break my heart
listen to my love song,
baby don't break my heart

here we go...
listen to my love song,
baby don't break my heart
listen to my love song,
baby don't break my heart

turn me inside out,
you know I can't resist
now you know how it feels
to die like this

here's somethin'
I think I can leave you with
there was nothin'
that I liked
better than to kiss your lips
kiss your lips

lift me up
and turn me into something else
this broken skull
just wasn't meant to fit

here's somethin'
I think I can leave you with
there was nothin'
that I liked
better than to kiss your lips
kiss your lips
kiss your lips

here's somethin'
I think I can leave you with
there was nothin'
that I liked
better than to kiss your lips
kiss your lips
kiss your lips
kiss your lips

I can't tell if you need me
and I don't know if you should
understated, and bullet-hard,
this is all I know about you

come across my favors
watch the other half live
forget the hand that feeds you
somehow I knew you could

I'll take one last look around
you can have everything you've found
I don't care if you don't see it my way
I don't care if you see it at all
I don't care if you don't see it my way
I don't get what you see at all...anyway

and you'd say... [?]

this can be the decision
don't have to try too hard
take you to all the places,
hung me on the wall
this is all I feel about you

I'll take one last look around
you can have every dick in town
I don't care if you don't see it my way
I don't care if you see it at all
I don't care if you don't see it my way
I don't know what you see at all...right now

first I dream about it...
now I sleep alone...
then I had to hate it...
now I can't live without...

I don't care if you don't get it my way
I don't care if you don't see it my way

I don't get if you don't see it my way
my way...
my way...
my way...

it's not the time
and it's not the place
it's not anything in particular
it's just something I thought I saw in your face
again

I don't want it
I don't need it
let me fake it and leave
I don't want it
I don't believe it
you can burn it for me

it's not what you give
it's not anything I receive
not anything you can put your finger on
I'm just tryin' to deal with--you're my disease

I don't want it
I don't need it
let me fake it and leave
I don't want it
I don't believe it
you can burn it for me

there I sieze...
you told me...

I don't want it
I don't need it
let me take it and leave
I don't want it
I don't believe it
you can burn it for me

it's not the time, and it's not the place...

I don't want it
I don't need it
I don't want it
I don't feel it
I don't want it
I don't need it
aah...you can burn...

sit in your bed with a bloody hand
lettin' in the fluffy with a TV stand  [??]
takin' out the roof with the minute man
it's easy

have a bite of bread when you're dead in the pan
easy to hate a man who's down on his back
warnin' off the pastor with the devil's hand
it's easy

oh, it's easy

little boy blue with his self in his hand
dirty little mouth like a rat in a can
hole in the fashion they can understand
it's easy

shakin' out the good with the other trash
makin' up the pictures in a looking glass
wakin' up the neighbors and you're shakin' your ass
it's easy

oh...easy...

hey, you're easy

doe ray me
doe ray you
doe ray anyone
tell you what to do

doe ray me
doe ray you
doe ray anyone
tell you what to do

Heaven isn't here
Hell isn't there
rage, rage, go away,
come again when you can stay

doe ray me
doe ray you
doe ray anyone
tell you what to do

I'm the man
in your prophecy
I am your...high end   [?]
I am your cure...
...cure...

Note: Some of the lyrics to this song are part of the design of "The Disengagement EP". Whenever possible, I referred to those to help with transcribing this song, and when what I heard differed from what I attempted to decipher from the packaging, I made a note of that.

is this the scary truth?
not so bad, after all
no one really knows
look around

struggle or addiction
roll it into one
no one really cares
who does...who does [?]

crush

crush

carry on, precious light  
it's not here, day or night   [*...this is what the lyrics say, although it sounds more like
nothing really happened          "I'm not here...."]
look around

move us out into the sun   [*...but it sounds more like "moving out..."]
crush us all into one
no one really cares
who does...who does [?]

crush

crush

crush

crush

Space might be
the final frontier,
but, for now,
I'm afraid we're both stuck here

Love can leave
a terrible stain,
you scrub, you purify,
but it won't come clean again

the happiness I find,
ride, ride, ride, ride
back to you this time
and do you really care?

A big-time movie star
gonna make me her pet...
stroll across her universe
in a big black fucking jet

the happiness I find,
ride, ride, ride, ride
back to you this time
and do you really care?

when you come,  [call?]
be sure to find,
make yourself alive...
is that my mistake
to put to cart before the flies?

Space might be
the final frontier
hold that thought
and just watch me disappear

the happiness I find,
ride, ride, ride, ride
back to you this time
ride, ride, ride, ride
the happiness I find...
now [I'll?] ride, ride, ride, ride
take me back this time
no, no, no, no more

(low muttering...ends with:)
you can't help me!

ride...ride...

I want more money,
I want more cash,
I want a limo
my girlfriend can trash

I want a spaceship
and waterfall,
don't waste my time
if you can't gimme it all

Give me an ocean,
I need the space
nuclear warships
and Easter parades

Give me an army,
gimme a jet,
give me the doll
that eats and wets

I got the vision,
I got the plan,
dress like a woman
and walk like a man

I get no feelin'...
the whole thing's a mess,
just gimme something
I can understand

hey, hey, hey, hey
what's this capital crime?
how can you get it off
if you won't fine [?]

I'll tell you harder [?]
sell your face,
with half a mind
you can run this place

educate me...
I wanna be smart
give me the front page
to leave my mark

give me the chance
to prove myself
I'll pick the right brain
from the shelf

I got the vision,
I got the plan,
dress like a boy,
and you act like a man

I got no feelin'...
it's all a mess
just gimme somethin', baby,
I'll confess

hey, hey, hey, hey
what's this capital crime?
how can you get it all
if you won't buy?

I want more money,
I want more cash
I need a limo
my girlfriend can trash

gimme  (x 16)

mamma's little baby
loves shortenin' shake now
I'm a little baby
loves shortenin' bread
mamma's little baby 
love's shortenin'...

this can be the pill
this can be the lull
this can be the strain
in times of war

chase a bitter tear
take a little fall
a little bit of me
just waits for your call

I'm feelin' a little faint
you broke a better sweat
I turned another cheek
and who's the one you get?

imagine my love
if you could
imagine my love

under the gun and fake it
in bitter seas
up on the more hang [?]
from time to time I bleed

crawl in through your wall
break on through
I know what you
don't wanna see
but it's true

imagine my love
do you think you could?
imagine my love

I am beautiful
I am beautiful
I am a bigger soul
I trust a better world

I am beautiful
imagine my love
I am the animal
assume you try
I am the inner soul  [??]
imagine my love
I am the enemy
I trust a better world

this could be the thong [?]
you could be the gun
take a little trip
inside someone

I am beautiful
I trust the men in floor   [??]
I am the animal
I trust a better world
I am a bitter soul
I watched you console 
I am the enemy
I trust a better world
I am beautiful
imagine my love
I am the animal
just one big thing [bitching?]
I am a bitter soul
imagine my love
I am the enemy
I trust a better world

Bless this body
and touch this face
and bury the loveliness
in a very warm place

the hills are on fire,
the valleys are cold
the weatherman smiles
like there's something 
we don't know

stranger than fiction
you already know
the prophets predicted
the ground will open,
and then close

you come unprepared
come, my friend
reach out to the moon and the stars
and it's Hell, until then

Bless this body!
Touch my face!
And what could it hurt?
It's our last night on Earth

Bless my body.
Touch my face.
Touch my body.
Bless my shame...

Bless this body!
Touch my face!
be my shame
you'll miss me, wouldn't you say?

Mama said:
"Bye, my dear,
little piggy's running inside of the zoo."

I'm...wakin' up
I'm...catchin' on
there I was, thinkin',
all this maybe 
wasn't so much fun anymore
and I...
almost sounded it
I almost said...

I almost said what I wanna do!

I'm...wakin' up
I'm...catchin' on
hang with those eerie lights
and the scary monsters down below
and I...
almost sounded it
I almost let it...

I almost said what I wanna do!

almost found my best friend
almost turned myself in
sent out from among the stars
if you could find me
a miserable clue
here I am, thinkin' all this
ain't so much fun anymore
and I
almost sounded it through

I almost said what I wanna do.

almost

you can hear the little trolls,
and they're singing all the time
one day you look too close,
and it falls apart,
right before your eyes

I almost slid
you almost died
almost found a way to cry
almost dead, almost hurt,
almost crawled out of the dirt
almost...said what I wanna do

I almost sounded it through

almost let it...

I almost said it...!

I almost said what I wanna do!

I'm...wakin' up
I'm...catchin' on
there I was, thinkin',
all this, maybe
wasn't so much fun anymore
so I...almost sounded it

you know, I couldn't have said it better
they put the nail right through my head
and, suddenly, everything is blown out into space
hope there's room for one more, out there

the faint applause, is deafening
the girl with the hat, too drunk to stand, is on the floor now
too late to begin negotiations--the deal is done
and there is nowhere to run, hon'

in the madness of the suicide ego
there's a beauty in the terrible somewhere
in the last dumb act of the hero
where is he now?

I close my eyes, and look for Heaven
or entertain a postcard from Hell
don't you worry, `cause these are only times when you find out what you're made of
if you care

in the madness of the suicide ego
there's a beauty in the terrible somewhere
and here's the curse that makes you hungry
and where is it now?

what's next?

you know, I couldn't have said it better
they put the nail right through my head

here's the madness of the suicide ego
there's a beauty in the terrible somewhere
feed me now, I'm getting hungry
case improves...and gimme time--to make up

here's the sliver in your helpin' hand
you can have it all if you wanna live forever
here comes the man with the gun in the tower
and it's about time...

I remember being at your hand
I remember taking my time
I remember everything like it was yesterday
maybe not

how good are you at this?
how good of you and me
how good can it feel when everything comes down to what kind of zombie
you can be

all that done
and all that said
after all this time and you just seem to be here
my eyes are passing out before your lips can read me from the book that 
   tells me why I love you, and that just leaves me here to wonder...
why?

I had my talk with God
He said it's all workin' out
He has a bigger plan
and it's still in better hands,
in case you don't know

all that done
and all that said
and all this time and you just seem to be here
my eyes are passing out before your lips can read me from the book that
   tells me why I love you, and that just leaves me here to wonder how I 
   ever got so far away from things that really matter...
zombie in me

all that done
and all that said
all this time and you just seem to be here

not quite paradise, alright,
make the best of it all
tuned out the space between my ears
'cause I don't want to hear

uh-huh, uh-huh

throw perfection out the window
listen to the wind

uh-huh, uh-huh

life and death, the last great song
I'll sing myself to sleep tonight, thanks

uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh

one two three, five six seven,
how many children get to go to heaven?

uh-huh, uh-huh

with a lost, fat sugar crack
brooding [?] little monkeys on their backs

uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh

how many times do you wanna come back here?
want a little new trip?   [?]
come and find some way   [?]

who
says
what's
up
when
I've
had enough!

had my fortune read today,
my future's lookin' good good good

uh-huh, uh-huh

you're gonna be big,
you're gonna be tall,
better find somewhere nice to fall

uh-huh, uh-huh

so how can this really be the end,
just when everybody wants to be my friend?

uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh

found some time,    [?]
did you gonna be here that?   [?]

counting by numbers
and working out the shit,
coulda been a contender--
but that...didn't rhyme...

lonely girls are my favorite
pass the gravy
got a helping hand
this one to the man in the overcoat, I think
he's just fine and dandy
you got a mouth on you
like a dog from hell
so, spill out the novelty
and fix up a needle
Santa's little helper has found his rainbow
donchya know-ho?

come back hidin'
and come back soon
found my Heaven
inside a spoon
crawl me up
don't be frills
got myself
a good kind of thrill

close the door and open this
and this could be the last of it
and, for the moment, I'm alright
and hand me down another hit

Heaven holds a place for you
the crippled, the rich, the young, and the beautiful
and, for the moment, I'm your guest
in case you haven't figured it out yet

I am humbled over you
I am humbled over everything
I must be
I could be
I should be hearing these
I am humbled over you

the taste of liquor on your breath
fills my head and spills my lips
and, for the moment, I'm all right
underneath the weight of all of it

I am humbled over you
I am humbled over everything about you
look past these eternal "no"s
coulda found something to finally cut me down to size
and it's all in the eyes
I am humbled
I am blind
I am crippled--
but it might be the only way to get out alive!

Heaven holds a place for you
the crippled, the rich, the young, and the beautiful
close the door, and open this
I don't think we're done here with it, cat [?]

crippled in the mission
on the children underneath [?]
and you're lookin' for another [?]
that you're never gonna find
in the eyes...
in the eyes...

there must be more to it than this
you cut your losses and guard your wrist
I lost my head along the way
thought maybe I had...something clever to say

more than this!
more than this...

it tasted good, it tasted sweet
and there was I time when I couldn't even sleep
next to you
as almost God in angel's wings
but now I'm the man in black
but hey, I'm free--look at me!

there must be more to love than this!
there must be more to love than this...

maybe dogs were meant for it,
and maybe Heaven couldn't stand the face of it
there must be more to you than me
and what I see

it's all too beautiful for me
to see you here
you're like a bird out over the sea...

and I'm on my knees
to see what fits
I'm on my knees to get the hell out of it
I'm on my knees to find out what it was that I just missed!

there must be more to love than this!
there must be more to love than this...
more than this!

more than this!
more than this...

come clean
come down
from whatever you're on
you can come back
come to think of it,
we might try to get along
come together
come please
don't come too soon
I don't know
it's all just too much!

more than this!
more than this...

the twisting of God's nerves
and the laughing gas face
and a world relied on
cannot save me a place

extinct from the ocean
and sucking, like lambs,
on air too thick...

I'm nervously hanging...
still magically here
I'm comfortably worried
that we've poisoned the well...

we all share the ground
and the food we eat
and the nails we hang from...
have been kept clean...

I hate to confess...
but the rats won the race
and in all this confusion...
we, nervously, somehow,
emptied our plates
and it's a wonder that anything
turns us on at all...

I'm nervously hanging...
still magically here
and, stupidly, somehow,
just singing along...

you've once heard the notion
the whales must be saved
well, build them a theme park,
and teach them to beg

down by the black pond
all tired and still
the birds have gathered
they magically circle
carefully, though,
I'm certain they've noticed...
we've poisoned the well

and I'm patiently hanging...
from a delicate bough
and it's a wonder that anything
still shocks me at all...

Beautiful lamb-child
make the angels dance and laugh
spare yourself, child,
make your best mistake your last

worn out sheep's clothing
lying bloodied on the floor
but still, the devil in your friend
cries out for more

throw up a truth
swallow a lie
you're no angel,
but neither was I
bloody my nose
out of my face
nothing can take your place

pull me out
and put a new one back in
we'll get ourselves together
and get out of the shit

cold steel, lubricate
take the flesh from my face
brutal words that cut like sand
and you split a lip...I understand

I think I...
understand

worn out sheep's clothing
lying bloodied on the floor
and still, the devil in your friendcries out for more

cold steel, lubricate
take the flesh from my face
brutal words, at last I send
you split the lip...I understand

I think I understand

face to face
hour to hour
face to face with the moment that you know you can't hide

ear to ear
you cut the throat
face to face with the people that you know you can't take
and you're in it

oh...and you're in it

I miss somethings
about...me...

the skeleton crawls
on the madness depends
and the curse that's bangin'
here in my head

paint the eyes
the color of red
I'm only laughin' cause it hurts
when I think about what you said

face to face
hour to hour
face to face with the moment that you know you can't hide
and you're in it

the skeleton crawls
on the madness depends
and the curse that's bangin'
here in my head

face to face
hour to hour
face to face
only kill my eyes

goodnight, mom...  [?]

oh...I hate to cry   [?]

face to face...
hour to hour...
ear to ear...
but you're in it...

if it comes down to this
if it comes up at all
please tell them...
tell them I was...

once gone, and dearly departed
this world not terribly sparse
and without...
so tell them I was here

please tell them...
tell them I was...

"courage", said the lion,
and patience was a snake
"let's run", says the jackal,
"before it's too late"

I could be dust in God's pocket
or the hair on a rooster's head
I don't know
but tell them I was...

oh, please tell them...
tell them I was here...
oh, please tell them...
tell them I was here...

I'm misinformed
I missed the boat
I miss the mother
to hold me close.
Gone to Hell,
or condescend,
I wanna feel
like it just doesn't end.
When it's time,
I guess we'll know,
and when it's mine,
that'll be the show.

and tell them I was here

oh, please tell them
oh, tell them I was

somebody tell them
tell them I was here

misinformed
missed the boat
I miss the mother
hold me close
gone to help
condescend
I wanna feel
like it just...doesn't end

if it comes up at all...

there must be more to it than this
you count your blessings and guard your wrist
I lost my head along the way
thought maybe I had...something clever to say...hey...

more than this...
more than this...

it tasted good, it tasted sweet
and there was I time where I couldn't even sleep
next to you
almost God in angel's wings
and now I'm a man in black
hey, I'm free--look at me...

there must be more to love than this
there must be more to love than this

and maybe dogs are meant for it,
and maybe Heaven couldn't stand the face of that

it's way too beautiful for me
to see you here
you're like a bird out over the sea...
way over me...

and I'm on my knees
to see what fits
I'm on my knees to get the hell out of it
on my knees to find out what it was that I just missed!

there must be more to love than this
there must be more to love than this
more than this...

more than this...

in the clueless hillside [?]
come glue my head right [?]
glue my name-song [???]
come...cool now [???]

more than this!
more than this...

I'll...
talk it out
endless tryin'...
and you see what we've had!
and you see what you had!
see what you'll have...
more than this...

close the door and open this
and this could be the last of it
and, for the moment, I'm alright
would you fix me up with another hit?

Heaven holds a place for you
the crippled, the rich, the young, and the beautiful
and, for the moment, I'm alright
in case you haven't figured it out yet

I am humbled over you
I am humbled over everything about you
I must be
I could be
I should be hearing things
I am humbled over you

the taste of liquor onyour breath
fills my head and spills my lips
and, for the moment, I'm alright
underneath the weight of all of it

I am humbled over you
I am humbled over everything about you
look past these 
I'm tryin' to find those
lookin' for somethin' that I'm never gonna find in the eyes
and it's all in the eyes
I am crippled
and I am blind
and I am nothing--
but it might be the only way to get out alive

Heaven holds a place for you
the crippled, the rich, the young, and the beautiful
and, for the moment, I'm your guest
I don't think we're done here with it, yet

I remember being at your hand
I remember taking my time
I remember all these things like it was yesterday
and why not?

how good are you at this?
how good of you, indeed
how good can it feel when everything comes down to what kind of zombie
you can be

all that done
and all that said
after all this time and we just seem to be here
my eyes are passing out before your lips can read me from the book that 
  tells me why I love you, and that just leaves me here to wonder...
why?

I had my talk with God
and He said it's all workin' out
there's a bigger plan
and it's still in better hands,
in case you don't know

all that done
and all that said
after all this time and we just seem to be here
my eyes are passing out before your lips can read me from the book that
  tells me why I love you, and that just leaves me here to wonder how I 
  ever got so far away from things that really matter...
it's a zombie in me

all that done
and all that said
after all this time and we just seem to be here

Don in the bed with a bloody hand
starin' at the gun on the TV stand
takin' off the head like a minute man
it's easy

have a bite of bread then I'm dead in the pan
and it's easy to hate a man down on his back
you hold off the pastors with the devil's hand
it's easy

oh oh easy
so easy

little boy blue got somethin' his head [?]
he's got a dirty little mouth like a rat in the can
combed in a fashion you might understand
it's easy

takin' out the good with the other trash
makin' up your business in a looking glass
wakin' up your neighbors while you're shakin' your ass
it's easy

it's good for the stomach
it's good for the soul
it's good to let somebody think up [?] control
don't look high or down below
it's easy

all too easy
hey...too easy...

not quite paradise, but alright,
make the best of it all
tune out the space between my ears
`cause I don't want to hear

uh-huh, uh-huh

throw perfection out the window
and listen to the wind

uh-huh, uh-huh

life and death, the last great song
I'll sing myself to sleep tonight, thanks

uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh

one two three, five six seven,
how many babies get to go to heaven?

uh-huh, uh-huh

with a lust, fat, sugar crack
furry little monkeys on their backs

uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh

how many times do you wanna go back here?
been workin' on a new trick
gonna find some way... 
out

I had my fortune read today,
and my future's lookin' good good good

uh-huh, uh-huh

he's gonna be handsome, dark, and tall
you better find somewhere nice to fall

uh-huh, uh-huh

so how can this really be the end,
just when everybody wants to be my friend?

uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh
bet you can't find me...

uh-huh...

life and death, the last great song
sing myself to sleep tonight, thanks

uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh

[as the song fades out...]
is coffee ready?

you know, I couldn't have said it better
they put the nail right through my head
and, suddenly, everything is blown out into space
I hope there's room for one more, out there

the faint applause, is deafening
the girl with the hat, too drunk to stand, is on the floor now
too late to begin negotiations--as deal was done

I close my eyes, and I look for Heaven
or entertain a postcard from Hell
don't you worry,  these are only times when you find out what you're made of
if you dare

in the madness of the suicide ego
there's a beauty in the terrible somewhere
and here's a curse to keep you hungry
and where is it now?

what's next?

you know, I couldn't have said it better
they put the nail right through my head
shine my name, I call myself my ego...
shine my name, I call myself my ego...
shine my name, I call myself my ego...
and where is it now?

here's the sliver in your helpin' hand
you can have it all if you wanna live forever
here comes the man with the gun in the tower
and it's about time...

what is it that you believe?
"only in absolutes!" he screamed
at me

demons, they flutter by
disbelief in my eyes
only saved
by the beauty of your smile
protection from the wild

protection from the wild

it's as simple as you can see
imagine it...and it will be
it will be...

what is it that you believe?
"there are no absolutes," he said

angels, they flutter past
belief in my grasp

beauty of your smile...
protection...from the wild

protection from the wild
protection from the wild...

couldn't be made...
dirt like this
rather'm be the spit
for a thirsty dog

shatter my veins
the frozen blood won't feel
as I scatter myself across
some summer field

it's denial
to believe in nothing
no deals with faith
and faith...alone

comfort is...
as comfort does
and comfort comes to those
who rise above
yes it does

one thing for certain,
last time I checked,
the cult of truth
fallen from its place

dress it up,
and call it what you will
there's a cult of love
standing on its face

there's a cult of love...
on its face...

Bless this body
you touch my face
let me bury the loveliness
in a very warm place

hills are on fire,
and the valleys are cold
the weatherman smiling
like there's something 
we don't know

stranger than fiction
and you already know
the prophets predicted
the ground will open,
and then close

you come unprepared
you're still my friend
reach out to the moon and the stars
but it's Hell, until then

bless this body
touch my shame
and what could it hurt?
It's our last night on Earth

Bless this body.
Touch my shame.
What could it hurt?
It's our last night on Earth.

bless this body
touch my shame
and what could it hurt?
It's our last night on Earth

bless this body
touch my shame
and what could it hurt?
I don't even know your real name...

I guess by now you owe me
a turn of the screw...
here comes the payback
for feelin' so good about you

well, look you fool...
it's not my fault at all
I just can't get along
it's not your fault no more
I can't get along

I'm sure, by now,
I coulda had somebody else, too
torn and crippled I might be,
but I'm not through

but look at you...
it's not my fault at all,
I can't get along
it's not your fault no more,
I can't get along

angels up high
cut us loose,
don't ask why
hand me my wings,
and I'll fly...


angels up high
cut us loose,
don't ask why
hand me my wings,
and I'll fly...

the purple leaves
have come to take the people away
and in your dream
I saw how I misbehave

it's not my fault at all,
I can't get along
not your fault at all,
I can't get along
I can't get along

it's not my fault at all,
I can't get along
it's not my fault no more,
I can't get along
can't can't can't get along...
can't can't can't get along...

black hole babies,
gather no moss
curious flowers,
looking lost
flies in dust
swarm the light   [?]
leave no doubt...
leave tonight

life is perfect,
life is cruel
bring on the teacher,
burn the school
moments falling...
into place

space in time,
a lover's kiss,
a point of view,
measure this
love is perfect,
love is cruel...
all for you...

need a light,
get no rest
from curious towers
observe the test
cries of lust
swarm the night
black hole babies
sleep on ice

space in time,
a lover's kiss,
a point of view,
measure this
love is perfect,
love is cruel...
all for you...

Run your nails
across my face
you can move your hand
and next your ring [?]

stay for the night [?]
it's safer here
oh, believe me...  [?]
make it clear

When the hunger smiles

a dance [?] and tie me low
remain any lights right here [?]
future shocks, over, move along
it's nearly ties in the roll, I don't know... [???]

I wanna be, I, I,
I wanna be, I, I,
In your hands
I wanna be, I, I,
I wanna be, I, I,

When the hunger smiles
rush to die
We'll send it back to the chime [?]
rush to die

[some half-intelligible muttering]

trek [?] your hands
across my face
study [?] right here
and learn your place

sit right down           I wanna be, I, I,
it's who ((ron low?))    I wanna be, I, I,
I wanna be, I, I,
I wanna be, I, I,
I'm whole... [?]         I wanna be, I, I,

when the bats in the climb [??]
rush to die
When the hunger smiles
rush to die
When the hunger smiles
rush to die
When the hunger smiles
rush to die

rush to die
rush to die

When the hunger smiles
rush to die

[more of that low muttering--sounds a bit demonic]

tell me what...
lock me up    [?]

[more muttering]

hey you...
your god can't feel the pain
hey you...
your god can't feel the pain

I am your cure...
I am your cure...
I am your cure...
don't you love what I do...to you...

hey you...
your god can't feel the pain
hey...hey you...
your god can't feel the pain


hey you...
your god can't feel the pain
hey...hey you...
you can't feel the pain

[Rick mutters some stuff near the end of the song, but I can't figure out what it is...]

[Rick]
a beautiful sound, come let's dance
a beautiful way to kill some time
I'm livin' to tell my fear
I'm dyin' to ease the worried kind

[Rick and Belinda]
turn your life into a moonlight daydream
and do the world a favor
just fold into one
day by day
one by one
and give it all away

[Belinda]
indiscriminate act of God
a dealer in Heaven,
and who could say no?
He is perfect in all extremes
here's a perfect excuse
to stay in my dream

[Rick and Belinda]
in the wake of a panic nightmare
we do ourselves a favor
and fold into one
day by day
one by one
one by one

[Rick]
and you take it...some highs...  [?]

[Rick and Belinda]
and in the wake of a panic nightmare
we do ourselves a favor
and fold into one
day by day
one by one
we give it all away

[Belinda]
day by day
one by one

[Rick and Belinda]
day by day
one by one

If I was perfect, would I be perfect for you?
If I was someone, would I be someone for you?
Would I be someone to you?

If I was eager, would it terrify you?
If I was Ceaser, could I compromise you?

I want you...I want you inside
I want you...I need you alive
I need you alive

If this is purpose, tell me what to do
If there's a reason, I'll leave it up to you

I want you...I want you inside
I want you...I need you alive
and so am I

I'm coming to be the space invader,
comin' down to meet my maker

I want you...I want you inside
I want you...I need you alive
I disown broo-ha [????]

I want you...I need you alive
I want you...I want you inside
I want you...I need you alive

alive

I want you...I need you alive
I want you...I want you alive

there's a war out there
on anyone tellin' the truth
come along with me
and take a little walk through fire in you [?]

there's a war on justice
there's a war on crime
there's a war on the ocean
let's hang the children to slime [?]
there's a war on gravity
there's a war in space
I don't hear anyone
sellin' me on good taste

there's a war on
ooo, yeah, there's a war on...

there's a war on stubborn stains
there's a war on grease
and tiny little insects
chewin' on the leaves
there's a war on pain
and a war on drugs
skin your head, babe,
let's make war on love, yeah...

there's a war on
hooo, haa, there's a war on...

if not, there sure are some funny little things goin' on around here...

camouflage, shouldn't be a rage
'cause you can't hide,
you let that beast
out of the cage...

there's a war on you
and war on me
there's a war on the moneky
just tryin' to stay up the tree
there's a war on Heaven
and a war on Hell
I think God and the Devil
better have it out at the Taco Bell

there's a war on
ooo-ooo, there's a war on...

there's a dirty little war on me and you, you know it's true

there's a beat box   [?]

almost there, Gracie...   [?]

when you add it up
and think it through
there's only one thing left here, to do
better grab your helmet, 
and get your ass outta here

inside your head, babe,
there's a war on
mmm, huh, there's a war on...

every time they fry 'em  [?], there's a war on
if not there sure are some funny smelling things goin' on around here...

check it out...  [?]
there's a war on...angry...  [?]

you know, you don't have to feel so low
you don't have to be so near
and I can learn to let it go
but how do we get back from here?

can I play with you sometime?
can it be sometime soon?
I know the shape of things to come, I hear
I can't enjoy, but I can share

I can't enjoy but I can have
but can this joy last?

Is this joy to be feared?
All the love is left for dead
Is all I want to feel real?
Take me low I'm disconnected
take me now, I'm...free...

I know you don't have to feel so low
and you don't need to be so near
and you can learn to let it go
and you can learn to sing it low

you can love--what is low?
I can feel--what is low?

and I can be--what is low?
and you can fear--what is low?
what is low?
what is low?
