Lustre Lyrics



Bulldog Baby
Stood up at a border street,
A souped up strut on swollen feet,
My loss remembered incomplete,
what memory knows I can't repeat,
Offered army soul salvation,
Sandwich choice of god and nation,
Haloed voices, chisselled faces,
Fill my head with empty spaces,
Out of the breakdown of the whole,
Back to the choices on repeat,
Out of a life put on hold,
Once again bulldog baby,
Classified as cheap and lazy,
Inner pity meat mutation,
Pay the price for approbation,
Welcome to the new dictators,
Power drugs and imitators,
Out of the breakdown of the whole,
Back to the choices on repeat,
Out of life put on hold,
I really wanna know,
I really wanna know,
Mother's dressed in alligator,
All good children love to hate her,
Out of the breakdown of the whole,
Back to the choices on repeat,
Out of a life put on hold,
Into the fallout of belief,
I really wanna know,
I really wanna know,
I really wanna know,
I really wanna know.



I'm not a saint
Everybody's staring at my....
Everybody's out to catch my eye....
I've gotta think it over,
I've gotta think it over,
Everybody's got somebody to....
All I wanted was a body to hide....
I've gotta think it over,
I've gotta think it over,
I'm not a saint,
I'm not a saint,
I'm not a saint,
I'm not a saint.
Dog is barking,
Head is hurting,
Car is chasing,
Hands are dirty,
I've gotta think it over,
I've gotta think is over,
I'm not a saint,
I'm not a saint,
Its the way I feel inside,
I'm not a saint,
I'm not a saint,
Takes me over sometimes.
I'm not a saint,
I'm not a saint,
Its the way I feel inside.
I'm not a saint,
I'm not a saint,
Takes me over sometimes.



Here comes the big rush
Save your point of view,
For the manic charm that he puts you through,
When he wears your pearls,
Your ruby dress,
And he looks so good with his sunken chest,
There's a certain charm to the pretty boy that is on my arm,
He's my double friend a boy and a girl when he says:
Paint my face,
Lick your mouth,
Fake a yawn,
And we'll go out and glow,
Were on are way,
To somewhere in particular,
I'll take you somewhere,
Where you havn't been,
And I'll show you a good time,
Like you've never seen,
Here comes the big rush,
There's a special ring to his cuban heels and his six-pack swing,
His mother's clothes are his new disguise and his good advice when he says:
Vanity's a virtue,
Lets no-one in to hurt you,
I'll take you somewhere,
Where you havn't been,
And I'll show you a good time,
Like you've never seen,
Here comes the big rush,
You're one of the boys,
Pump that pipe dream,
Sell you something new new new,
Were on our way,
To somewhere in particular,
I'll take you somewhere,
Where you haven't been,
And I'll show you a good time,
Like you've never seen,
Here comes the big rush,
You're one of the boys,
Pump that pipe dream,
Sell you something,
Pump that pipe dream,
Sell you something new, new.



Iris Art
Shattered glass,
Shooting stars,
Silver sparks,
Come and shine on me,
Take your time,
Don't hurry baby,
Break a smile,
When you come to me,
I'm up on a high,
Catch me if you fall,
Up on a high,
Your love fills me like a waterfall,
Iris art, skin on skin, let me in take a ride with me,
Take a trip, don't worry baby love the way we satisfy a need,
I'm up on a high,
Catch me if you fall up on a high,
Catch me if you fall up on a high,
Your love fills me like a waterfall,
Love. love. love. love. love. love. love. love. love,
Slaughterhouse nursery ryme numb it with your anodyne,
Seraphim serpentine weap me in your anodyne,
Seraphim serpentine wrap me in your anodyne,
Heart I'm up on a high catch me if you fall,
Up on a high catch me if you fall,
Up on a high your love fills me like a waterfall.



The world is flat
It is not too later to carry on,
So you've made mistakes and here's another one,
Oh but you deserve another chance,
Chase it round until you face yourself,
The world is flat and we're insane,
And we have fallen off again,
It really helps to know the way,
What if you take more that you deserve,
What if you give all and you get nothing back,
Sell your soul, not your stereo,
Take your favourite songs and sail away,
The world is flat and we're insane,
And we have fallen off again,
The world is right and we are mad,
And world opinion is where it's at,
Don't rate the score,
Don't take the blame,
The world is flat and were insane,
I won't be sad, I won't me sorry,
I've no regrets and I don't worry,
I'll roll the sail and I won't let go,
I'll ride the wave until tomorrow,
There are some who do and some do not,
There are some who can't and were the other ones,
Shape your fate, let your body go,
Take your favourite songs and sail away,
The world is flat and were insane,
And we have fallen off again,
The world is right and we are mad,
And world optinion is where it's at,
Don't rate the score,
Don't take the blame,
The world is flat and were insane,



Everyone knows better
I know, there's a certain amount to what you're thinking,
My hopes, never seem to amount to more than stopping smoking,
Everyone knows better,
I'll do it anyway,
Everyone knows better,
Oh yeah,
Heroes, never seem to allow for self-expression,
Lovers stick around to allow you what they think you're missing,
Everyone knows better,
I'll do it anyway,
Everyone knows better,
I'll do it anyway,
Lookin around to avoid what's in front of you,
Good intentions wrapped round like some old sweater,
A vain hope that it might be good for you,
Your mind is made,
Make your mind up,
Make your mind up,
Make your mind up,
We like to make the same mistakes sunshine,
A ray of hope in a hopeless situation,
Suntanned, your reward for the hopeful hours that you spend burning,
Everyone knows better,
I'll do it anyway everyone knows better,
I'll do it anyway everyone knows better,
I'll do it anyway everyone knows better,
I'll do it anyway everyone thinks they know better,
I'll do it anyway looking around to avoid what's in front of you,
Good intentions wrapped round like some old sweater,
A vain hope that it might be good for you,
Your mind is made,
Your mind is made,
Your mind is made.



Wired on
I wanna get wired on something new,
I wanna get high on something,
I wanna get wired on something new,
Every wide open space,
It's the gaping holes they get to you,
They frighten you,
An echo of your emptiness,
Every lie that you've fed,
You can kiss my open spaces,
I am safe from you I'm better now,
I'm better now,
I wanna get wired on something new,
I wanna get high on something,
I wanna get wired on somethin new,
Every scar I've erased,
Leaves a memory that will prey on you an overspill,
I hope it will,
I hope it will,
All the time I have wasted,
Tasted bitterness now I confess,
You waste my space at any time, at any rate,
I wanna get wired on something new,
I wanna get high on something,
I wanna get wired on something new,
Now you're up against a wall,
It's the other side that scares you,
And you're groping though the hole,
And you're hoping for a way out,
Your strength is on its last legs,
You could be somewhere else,
Instead you're blinded by the way out,
The way out,
And it's right here,
I wanna get wired on something new,
I wanna get high on something,
I wanna get wired on something new,
I wanna get high on something,
I wanna get high on something.



O
I get it on,
When I lay my fingers on,
Let me drift away,
Take me to a place I have known before,
Let me hear the words you know I adore,
Let me slip away to a world I know,
When you sing oh, oh, oh, oh,
Take me,
I am a slave to your charms,
Turn it on,
And I wanna celebrate,
I can hear your song,
Rushing through my veins,
It surrounds me now,
Touching me inside,
I can ride the sound,
When you sing oh, oh, oh, oh,
Take me I am a slave to your charms,
Turn it on,
Can I lay my fingers on?
Soaking in the way you shine,
Your rhythm slides around my mind,
I've really got it now,
Serenades that nearly split my senses,
Oh so special,
Turn it on,
When you sing oh, oh, oh, oh,
Take me,
I am a slave to your charms,
Turn it on,
And I wanna celebrate,
Get it on,
Get it on,
Get it on,
Get it on.



Bleed
Where and why this journey lies,
With faded sighs for every mile,
I'm awake,
Hunger bleeds in each and everyone of us,
We chase our dreams unaware,
And I never had the chance to say no,
And I never had the chance to say no,
Don't walk away,
Where's the trust the one in us,
Entwined, inclined and gladly blind,
Fade away,
Hunger bleeds in each and everone of us,
And now I'm lost,
And I never had the chance to say no,
And I never had the chance to say no,
Don't walk away,
Say no.



Paradise
In all day,
Out all night,
You and I see the sights in paradise,
Very nice,
Take me home,
Do it 'til your heart aches,
And then you'll know,
My mind,
And if I stay,
I'd only drive you mad,
I'm not that stable,
I'm not so right in a way,
I find myself at odds wanting to be here,
Never arrive,
Love and peace ill at ease,
With naked greed hunger feeding,
Aim to please,
What a teaser,
Maybe I owe it to my own ways,
But then I know my mind,
You see,
I know,
I've been there before,
And if I stay,
I'd only drive you mad,
I'm not that stable,
I'm not so right in a way,
I find myself at odds,
Wanting to be here,
Never arrive,
If I stay,
I'm not the type of girl,
Waiting for someone,
Waiting at home,
There's a way out,
And only time can tell,
Will I be here,
Will I begone,
In all day,
Out all night,
You and I see the sights in paradise.



Angel B
Time stands still when you fear your hope is gonna fade,
Hope doesn't come 'till you catch your fear and give it away,
I'm waiting for the tide,
The darkness of this night,
To fade into the night,
And it won't be long,
I hope it won't be long,
Oh no,
Told me they would come,
Told me they were gonna take him away,
He's the only one,
He's the one that makes me feel this way,
And don't you criticise,
What you can't understand,
He's the pulse inside my hand,
He's the only one,
He is the only one,
I see, hear, taste, I breathe him,
Seven years and thirteen days,
Oh I wouldn't forsake him,
My own disturbed angel boy,
I would wait a thousand years for you,
Breathe into your heart,
Let me taste the colour of your core,
Memory rewind to the heady time we had before,
Coming up, I'm coming down,
Reaching up and falling down,
The time is coming round and it won't be long,
I hope it won't be long,
I see, hear, taste, I breathe him,
Seven years and thirteen days,
Oh I wouldn't forsake him,
My own disturbed angel boy,
I would wait a thousand years for you,
Coming up, I'm coming down,
Reaching up and falling down,
The time is coming round,
And it won't be long,
I know it won't be long,
I see, hear, taste, I breathe him,
Seven years and thirteen days,
Oh I wouldn't forsake him,
My own disturbed angel boy,
I see, hear, taste, I breathe him,
Seven years and thirteen days,
Oh I wouldn't forsake him,
My own disturbed angel boy,
I would wait a thousand years for you,
I would wait a thousand years for you,
I would wait a thousand years for you.



Lustra
Lustra,
There's something hiding behind your immaculate smile,
You have always known,
So let it out,
Lustra,
I feel your anger swell the radical in your style, girl,
Take the cross you bear and throw it out,
She's coming up,
Coming up,
Breathe it in and let it out,
Let it go,
Be yourself,
Take a shot it's what you've always know now,
You've always known now,
What you waiting for,
Lustra,
It's gonna take as long as,
As long as it will take to strike a match to your silence,
Take the pain you bear and burn it out,
She's coming up,
Coming up,
Breathe it in and let it out,
Let it go,
Be yourself,
Take a shot and give it out,
Coming up,
Coming up,
Breathe it in and let it out,
Let it go,
Be yourself,
Take a shot it's what you've always known now,
You've always known now,
What you waiting for,
Lustra,
Don't you know there's no tomorrow,
In a sense,
There's no way out,
Innocence is all you're born with,
Inner sense dictates the way you wheel,
The way you deal with knowing who you are,
Lustra,
You know where hell is when you fight the maze of denial,
Do it,
You've gotta take a shot give all you've got for your dreams girl,
She's coming up,
Coming up,
Breathe it in and let it out,
Let it go,
Be yourself,
Take a shot and give it out,
Coming up,
Coming up,
Breathe it in and let it out,
Let it go,
Be yourself,
Take a shot it's what you've always know now,
You've always know now.
