Celebrity Skin Lyrics

Celebrity Skin

Oh make me over, I'm all I wanna be

A walking study in demonology

Hey, so glad you could make it

Yeah, now you really made it

Hey, so glad you could make it now

Oh, look at my face, my name is might have been

My name is never was, my name's forgotten

Hey, so glad you could make it

Yeah, now you really made it

Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up in my makeup

It's too early for that dress

Wilted and faded somewhere in Hollywood

I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh

No second billing cause you're a star now

Oh, Cinderella they aren't sluts like you

Beautiful garbage, beautiful dresses

Can you stand up or will you just fall down

You better watch out what you wish for

It better be worth it, so much to die for

Hey, so glad you could make it

Yeah, now you really made it

Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up in my makeup

Have you ever felt so used up as this?

It's all so sugarless, hooker/waitress/model/actress

Oh just go nameless

Honeysuckle, she's full of poison

She obliverated everything she kissed

Now she's fading somewhere in Hollywood

I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh

You want a part of, well I'm not selling cheap

No, I'm not selling cheap

Awful

Swing low, sweet cherry, make it awful

It's your life, it's your party, it's so awful

Let's start a fire, let's have a riot!

Yeah it's awful

It was punk, yeah it was perfect,

now it's awful

They know how to break all the girls like you

And they rob the souls of the girls lik you

And they break the hearts of the girls

Swing low, cherry, cherry yeah it's awful

He's drunk, he tastes like candy,

he's so beautiful

He's so deep like dirty water,

god he's awful

You're lost, oh where's your daddy

it's so awful

And they royalty rate all the girls like you

And they sell it out to the girls like you

To incorporate little girls

Hey, run away with the light,

run away it's divine

Let's run away, yeah, tonight and

we'll steal the light of the world

Swing low, sweet cherry,

yeah it's awful

You're ripe for the picking,

it's so awful

You've got your youth, don't waste your money,

yeah it's awful

I was punk! Now I'm just stupid!

I'm so awful

Oh, just shut up you're only 16

If the world is so wrong, yeah you can break them all with one song

If the world is so wrong, yeah you can take it all with one song

Swing low, sweet cherry, make it awful

They bought it all, just build a new one,

make it beautiful...yeah

Hit So Hard

Put me up above the boy,

the one I love I should destroy

My sweet tooth has burned a hole,

forget about it all

He hit so hard, I saw stars

He hit so hard, I saw god

He's cold, give him a candycoat

he can't swim but he can float

One by one they all fall down,

I look at him and drown

He hit so hard, I saw stars

He hit so hard, I saw god

He's so candy my downfall,

melts in my mouth 'til he's nothing at all

This keeps me, I can't sleep

he rages to be true

He hit so hard, I saw stars

He hit so hard, I saw god

Oh, man, he hit so hard, I saw stars

He hit so hard, I saw god

Malibu

Crash and burn,

all the stars explode tonight

How'd you get so desperate,

how'd you stay alive

Help me please,

burn the sorrow from your eyes

Oh, come on be alive again,

don't lay down and die

Hey, hey, you know what to do

Oh baby, drive away to Malibu

Get well soon,

please don't go any higher How are you so burnt when you're barely on fire

Cry to the angels,

I'm gonna rescue you

I'm gonna set you free tonight, baby,

pour over me

Hey, hey, we're all watching you

Oh, baby, fly away to Malibu

Cry to the angels, and let them swallow you

Go and part the sea, yeah, in Malibu

And the sun goes down, I watch you slip away

And the sun goes down, I walk into the waves

And I knew love would tear you apart

Oh and I knew the darkest secret of your heart

I'm gonna follow you

Oh baby, fly away, yeah, to Malibu

Oceans of angels, oceans of stars

Down by the sea is where you drown your scars

I can't be near you, the light just radiates

I can't be near you, the light just radiates......

Reasons to Be Beautiful

Love hangs herself

with the bedsheets in her cell

Threw myself on fires for you

Ten good reasons to stay alive

Ten good reasons that I can't find

Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful

So sick in his body, so sick in his soul

Oh, give me one reason to be beautiful

Oh, and everything I am

Love hates you,

I live my life in ruins for you

And for all your secrets kept

I squashed the blossom and the blossom's dead

Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful

So sick in his body, so sick in his soul

Oh, and I will make myself so beautiful

Oh, and everything I am

Miles and miles of perfect skin,

I swear I do I fit right in

My love burns through everything,

I cannot breathe

Miles and miles of perfect sin,

I swear I said I fit right in

I fit right in your perfect skin,

I cannot breathe

Hey, baby take it all the way down

Hey, baby, taste me anyway, oh, you were born

So pretty oh summerbabe, we'll never know...

And fading like a rose

Give me a reason to be beautiful

So sick in his body, so sick in his soul

I'll give you my body, just sell me your soul

Oh, and everything I am will be bought and sold

Oh, and everything I am will turn hard and cold

And they say in the end

you'll get bitter just like them

And they steal your heart away,

when the fire goes out

You better learn to fake

It's better to rise than fade away...

Hey you were right,

named a star for your eyes

Did you freeze, did you weep,

turn to gold, baby, sleep

Hey honey mine,

I was there all the time

And I weep at your feet,

and it rains and rains

Dying

I've seen a cripple dance, baby you're mine,

Baby now's your chance.. It's like cyanide

I am so dumb, just beam me up

I've had it all forever, I've had enough

Remember you promised me

I'm dying, I'm dying, please

I want to, I need to be under your skin

Our love is quicksand, so easy to drown

There's still the gravity from moving ground

Remember you promised me

I'm dying, I'm dying, please

I want to, I need to be under your skin

And now I understand, you leave with everything

You leave with everything I am

memory

And now I know that love is dead,

you come to bury me

There's nothing left here to pretend

Everything

Remember you promised me

I'm dying, I'm dying, please

I want to, I need to be under your skin

I'm dying, I'm dying, please

I'm dying, I'm dying, please

I'm dying, I'm dying, please

Under your skin

Under your skin

Use Once and Destroy

It's the emptiness that follows you down

It's the ache inside when it all burns out

It's poisonous it muscles it aches

It's everything you had when it breaks

It's the emptiness that's all you have left

Too terrified of your frozen breath

It's a bitter mouth it's buttered and knived

It's the awful truth you fight for your life

It might as well it might as well hurt

It might as well it might as well

I went down to rescue you,

I went all the way down

Fill your hungry wretched life,

here they come it's closing time

It's the bitter root it's twisted inside

It's the heart you used to have when it died

It's the emptiness it poisons it lies

It's everything that you'll never find

It might as well it might as well hurt

It might as well it might as well

I went down for the remains,

sort through all your blurs and stains

Take your rapture blister burns,

stand in line it's not your turn

All dressed in red, always the bride

Off with her head, all dressed in white

Off with her head

I went down to rescue you,

I went all the way down

I went down for the remains,

sort through all your blurs and stains

I will follow you, anytime anywhere

I will come for you, just say you aren't there

Northern Star

And I cry and no one can hear, inhale..

The blinded eyes that see the chaos

Bring the pitiful to me

Even though I'm wide-awake, I will,

And blackes night and I wait for you

It's cold in here there's no one left

And I wait for you, and nothing stops it happening

And I knew, I'd cherish all my misery alone

And I wait staring at the Northern Star

I'm afraid it won't lead me anywhere,

He's so cold, he will ruin the world tonight

All the angels kneel into the frozen lights

And they paid, I cry and cry for you

Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow

I cried cause you were doomed

Praying to the wound that swallows

All that's cold and cruel

Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude,

They run to the pines

It's black in here blot out the sun

and run to the pines

Our misery runs wild and free

and I knew, the fire and the ashes of his grace...

And I wait, staring at the Northern Star

I'm afraid it won't lead you very far

He's so cold he will win the world tonight

All the angels kneel into the frozen lights

Feel their hearts they're cold and white

And I want you, and blessed are the broken

And I beg you, no loneliness no misery is worth you

Oh tear his heart out cold as ice it's mine

And I wait praying to the Northern Star

I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere

He's so cold raining on the world tonight

All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights

And I pray begging to the Northern Star

I'm afraid it won't lead me anywhere

He's so cold he will rule the world tonight

All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights

Kneeling to the frozen lights

Feel their hearts they're cold as ice....

Boys on the Radio

Do what you want, cause I'll do anything

I'll take the blame

What's mine is yours,

you can't have all of it and

I learn to fake

Oh the boys on the radio, they crash and burn

They fold and fade so slow

In the endless summer night,

I'll be on the other side

When you're beautiful and dying,

all the world that you've denied

When the water is too deep,

you can close your eyes and really sleep

Tonight, Tonight

Oh what was yours, oh I'd give anything and

I'll take the blame

I wait alone, for what will never come and

I throw it all away

Oh the boys on the radio, they crash and burn

They fold and fade so slow

In the endless summer night,

I'll be on the other side

When you're beautiful and dying,

all the world that you've denied

When the water is too deep,

you can close your eyes and really sleep Tonight

Your beauty blinds

If I let you, under my skin,

and risen every angel slain

He said he'd never ever ever go

He said heavens heaven heavens no and

I will never ever ever go away

Baby I've gone away

In your endless summer night,

I'll be on the other side

When you're beautiful and dying,

all the world that you've denied

When the water is too deep,

you can close your eyes and really sleep Tonight

Your beauty blinds

I know what you are running to

Please come back, oh, come back again

I hear the truth, it's coming for you

Oh come back, won't come back again

In your endless summer night,

I'll be on the other side

When the water is too deep,

I will ease your suffering

When the glitter fades in morning

Turn away and you will find my empty eyes

your beauty blinds

I know that you are rotten to the core

I know that you don't love me anymore

I know that you are rotten to the core

Heaven Tonight

Here comes the sun in the form of a girl

She's the finest sweetest thing in the world

Take you to heaven tonight

I feel the horses coming galloping

And the summer ends, take you to heaven tonight

Cause I love you for what you are

I'll gallop to you, tonight tonight we'll ride

I'll give it to you, we'll go to heaven tonight...

tonight

Oh baby I was afraid for heaven tonight

I'll go to heaven tonight

I feel the horses coming galloping

I will never grow old,

I'll go to heaven tonight

Because I love you for what you are

I'll gallop to you, tonight tonight we'll ride

I'll bow down to you, we'll go to heaven tonight

tonight

I can't believe that I could be happy

Summer will come again, I can be happy

Oh stop your crying, you can be happy

Go to heaven when you make me happy

Here comes a kiss that I've never had

Nothing feels like this if it were heaven tonight

I love you

Here comes a storm in the form of a girl

She's the finest sweetest thing in the world

I'll go to heaven tonight

For what you are

I gallop to you, tonight tonight we'll ride

I'll bow down to you, go to heaven tonight Tonight

Playing Your Song

Hey, you're way ahead of me,

you're drunk on apathy

You burned right out

Hey you, you're just a cripple now,

they sell for millions now

They sold you out

And, oh, I had to tell them you were gone

I had to tell them they were wrong

And now they're playing your song

Hey you, don't take it out on me,

you're bored of everything

You burned right out

Hey you, so bored and cynical, it's fucking wonderful

They sold you out

And, they've bought and sold it all, it's gone

They've taken it and build a mall

And now they're playing your song

their innocence tastes like candy, yeah

Get so fat on it, it's a tragedy, yeah

I can help you come to me, yeah

Just bring your innocence to me, yeah

Hey you, don't you dare blame me

You trusted everything, they sold you out

Hey you, now when they call it cool

It's just so mean and cruel, they sold you out

And oh, they bought and sold it all, it's gone

And every note of it is wrong

And now they're playing your song

Petals

She's the angel on top of the tree

Sugar glide here she comes, she's going to fall on me

Innocence was afire, we told the truth

I miss the sweet boys in the summer of their youth

Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

They will make you so, so cynical

The fire burns the flesh

Destroyed the best you made and sold

She's the grace of this world,

she's too pure

For the likes of this world,

this world is a whore

Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

Oh, it's all mine and

Hey, it's all mine and

Hey, it's all mine and

I never knew what I could be

All the darling buds of May,

they fall with no sound

They carry you down, they carry you down

All the lilies bloomed and blossomed,

wilted and they're shivering

I can't stop their withering, oh this world is a war

Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

Tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you
