Echobelly's Dark Therapy

EGO Lyrics

Today tomorrow sometime never today i can't seem to find what i'm searching for
oh well maybe tomorrow
i wait, devious thoughts but no inspiration at all
i have shut down

generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days
when everyone falls
segregation, someone to blame, but the problems
remain
when everyone falls

somewhere looking for shelter i somehow found myself
i am alone
aware, is it my colour or culture, who can tell
could we be hated for ourselves
where should we go

generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days
when everyone falls
segregation, someone to blame, but the problems
remain
when everyone falls
are you with me sometime or never
are you with me sometime or never
or never, never, never
don't let me down

generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days
when everyone falls
segregation, someone to blame, but the problems
remain
when everyone falls
generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days
when everyone falls

today tomorrow sometime never
today tomorrow sometime never
today tomorrow sometime never
today tomorrow sometime never
today tomorrow sometime never
today tomorrow sometime never

father, ruler, king, computer is it wrong to be alone
an adventure of my own
a celebration of myself and me
discovering all i can be
the half a couple fantasy

oh luck is on my side
i celebrate my life
don't try to come
don't pin me down with vows and flowers

i was brought up, i've been told
that a husband is the goal
what connotations in these loaded words
a spinster and a bachelor
i am whole all by myself
i don't need nobody else

oh luck is on my side
i celebrate my life
don't try to come
don't pin me down with vows and flowers

father, ruler, king, computer
father, ruler, king, computer
father, ruler, king, computer
hello destiny, is this what you want from me
don't anybody try to stop me

oh luck is on my side
i celebrate my life
don't try to come
don't pin me down with vows and flowers

oh luck is on my side
i celebrate my life
don't try to come
don't pin me down, don't pin me down

Give her a gun let the fear dislocate
lest we frown upon the female aggressor
makes no sense, goes against the gender
let her anger curse the years of oppression
blame the mother, sell the sister
before she blows you away

won't someone give her a gun, won't someone
won't someone give her a gun, won't someone

in a liftime full of changes
a woman's group is still a second class convention
look around, who has the power
am i a big mouth with a fix of paranoia
on your side, on your side
not here for the ride

won't someone give her a gun, won't someone
won't someone give her a gun, won't someone

half the population one percent of wealth
half the population one percent of wealth
blame the mother sell the sister
blame the mother sell the sister
before i blow you away

won't someone give her a gun, won't someone
won't someone give her a gun, won't someone
won't someone give her a gun, won't someone
won't someone give her a gun, won't someone

I can't imagine the world without me what i tell is a different story
what i have, i take, then give it away
so if you'd like to come this way
then help me climb the walls that stand before me

i wanna know
if this is just a game
can anybody play
can everybody win
can you believe it

i may be lost, i may be blind
i may be cursing most of the time
but it's half the fun
and in this world we spit and shout
we want it all we want it now
they say "oh no shut your mouth
you don't know what you talk about"

i wanna know
if this is just a game
can anybody play
can everybody win
can you believe it

another show another scene
the city sleeps below you sing a lullaby a lullaby
another show another scene
and i can't imagine the world without me
i can't imagine the world without me
i can't imagine the world without me
i'm on a roll, i'm on a roll la la la la
i'm on a roll la la la la
i'm on a roll la la la la
i'm on a roll la la la
me me me me me me me me
me me me me me me me me ME!

Bellyache impotence, the price of a dark affair
it's more than a bellyache
there's something alive in here

what do i care, what do i care now
that it's over
what do i care i, what do i care now

splinters shatter my one track mind
i lie on a sea of nails and thorns
spitting out the same old line

what do i, what do i care now that it's over
what do i care, i what do i care now that its over
now you shoot me down
serenade my ears my heart
i'm falling, falling, echoing your sound

winter's breath, all fall down
spin me out and spin me round
enter darkness, enter lies, oh no

what do i, what do i care now that it's over
what do i care, i what do i care now that its over
now you shoot me down
serenade my ears my heart
i'm falling, falling, echoing your sound

Taste of you now the fire has gone away
i face you with a broken pen
and sympathy and gratitude
dissolve into disarray
i relied, undisguised
followed all you'd say

was your weakness momentary
you devotion temporary

it's a question of taste
like a slap in the face
let the vain do what they do
did you laugh at my innocence

custom made but gone astray
erase you with a pencil head
i am bulletproof now i hide
but somehow i was happy then
do you know, how lost, how lost, how lost

was your weakness momentary
you devotion temporary

it's a question of taste
like a slap in the face
it's a question of taste
let the vain do what they do
did you laugh at my innocence

i don't want to live forever, i just want some...
i don't want to live forever, i just want some...

Insomniac i think you ought to know
i think we've lost control dear
whatever turned you on
you put it up your nose dear
and though the feeling was sublime
i think we're running out of time
'cos when you found it, you'd fix it
then lose it and then you'd go

will you be long, will you be long dear
will you be long, i'm waiting
no sleep at all, carry me home
no sleep at all, carry me home
won't you take me there

i serenade the walls
young people have it all dear
and surely life is a gas
we never had it bad dear
oh was it pointless from the start
or did we cultivate the art
i swim in circles, in puddles, in trouble
and then i go
will you be long, will you be long dear
will you be long, i'm waiting
no sleep at all, carry me home
no sleep at all, carry me home
won't you take me there

i don't feel good inside
i don't feel good inside
my darling don't you cry
home, home

no sleep at all, carry me home
no sleep at all, carry me home
won't you, won't you home home
won't you take me there
i'm ready home, home, won't you take me there
i'm willing, home, home, won't you take me there
i want you, home, home, won't you take me there

Call me names i say i've been meaning to move your way
i hope that no one will make fun of me
i go live in a new society
i wanna live in it, live in it
wanna learn, wanna live, live wanna learn
wann live in it, live in it
oh i'm ready to learn

i don't know, is it the same for everyone
maybe that i've don't something wrong
why do they call me names

outside, will you come out and play with me
i've been scrubbing at my skin you see
but the colour remains on me
i wanna be the same, be the same
wanna be, wanna be the same as you
wanna be the same, be the same
oh i'm ready to go
i don't know, is it the same for everyone
maybe that i've don't something wrong
why do they call me names

why do you call me names
why do you call me names...

Close...but you're moving in a circle
i'm coming on in a little dizzy spells
and the room is all forlorn
we could be stuck in substance hell
some more of this is what we need
so hand in hand and off we sway

i'm not that close, i'm not that close to you
i'm not that close, i'm not that close to you

your face is taking pictures of itself
i close my eyes and sighs explode
we sellotape the telephone
and all the little voices grow
some more of this is what we need
so hand in hand and off we sway

i'm not that close, i'm not that close to you
i'm not that close, i'm not that close to you
it's only the state i'm in, i'm about to come down
it's only the mess within is about to come out

it's only the state i'm in, i'm about to come down
it's only the mess within is about to come out
i'm not that close, i'm not that close to you
i'm not that close, i'm not that close to you
no.

Cold feet warm heart you were grounded
hadn't eaten or slept for days
when i found you
you're washed out
your life, your loves
everyone founders
but you are a spell that i'm under

alive, live for the rest of your life
you're alive, live for the rest of your life
it's the way it goes

you were wounded
such the poison from your vein
sow a seed for you
a fever once again
your life, your death
everything's wrong
but you are the heart of this song

alive, live for the rest of your life
you're alive, live for the rest of your life
it's the way it goes
it's the way we are
it's the way we chose
it's the way we are

my life your death
everyone founders
but you are a spell that i'm under
alive, live for the rest of your life
you're alive, live for the rest of your life

Scream what's it all about ah ha ha
spent my whole life praying for a chance to be here
and things are not the same as expected
it's been a hard time

oh to be wrong
there's no heaven in the sky
have you ever
well here's your chance and you can't tell me
this is wrong
there's no heaven in the sky
have you ever, have you ever, have you ever
cared to scream

first you steal my breath ha ha ha
and now i'm short on trust
i stand up for the test
and then i'll lie down

oh to be wrong
there's no heaven in the sky
have you ever
well here's your chance and you can't tell me
this is wrong
there's no heaven in the sky
have you ever, have you ever, have you ever
cared to scream
cared to scream

let me take you down
'cos i feel divine
like some holy cow
on a fallen shrine
like a waterfall
made of alcohol
oh why, tell me why

waiting for a friend ah ha ha
it's been a long time
i'm waiting here again
such a long time

long
oh you bring me down
you kill me
you kill me
you kill me
