SUPERVIXEN
Come down to my house,
Stick a stone in your mouth.
You can always pull out,
If you like it too much.

Make a whole new religion,
A falling star that you cannot live without.
And I'll feed your obsession,
There'll be nothing but this thing that you'll never doubt.

A hit is hard to resist,
And I never miss.
I can take you out,
With just a flick of my wrist.

Make a whole new religion,
A falling star that you cannot live without.
And I'll feed your obsession,
There is nothing but this thing that you'll never doubt,
This thing you'll never doubt.

And I'll feed your obsession,
The falling star that you cannot live without.
I will be your religion,
This thing you'll never doubt.
You're not the only one,
You're not the only one.

Background:
Now I want it too much,
Now I want it to stop,
Now I'm lucky like a falling star that fell over me.

Bow down to me, bow down to me,
Bow down to me, bow down to me,
Bow down to me, bow down to me,
Bow down to me.


QUEER
Hey boy, take a look at me,
Let me dirty up your mind.
I'll strip away your hard veneer,
And see what I can find.

The queerest of the queer,
The strangest of the strange,
The coldest of the cool,
The lamest of the lame,
The numbest of the dumb,
I hate to see you here.
You choke behind a smile,
A fake behind the fear,
The queerest of the queer.

This is what he pays me for,
I'll show you how it's done.
You learn to love the pain you feel,
Like father like son.

The queerest of the queer,
Hide inside your head.
The blindest of the blind,
The deadest of the dead.
You're hungry cause you starve,
While holding back the tears.
Choking on your smile,
A fake behind the fear,
The queerest of the queer.

I know what's good for you (You can touch me if you want),
I know you're dying to (You can touch me if you want),
I know what's good for you (You can touch me if you want),
But you can't stop.

The queerest of the queer,
The strangest of the strange,
The coldest of the cool,
The lamest of the lame,
The numbest of the dumb,
I hate to see you here.
You choke behind a smile,
A fake behind the fear,
The queerest of the queer,
The strangest of the strange,
The coldest of the cool,
You're nothing special here.
A fake behind the fear,
The queerest of the queer.

I know what's good for you,
I know you're dying to,
I know what's good for you,
I bet you're dying to.
You can touch me if you want,
You can touch me if you want,
You can touch me,
You can touch me,
But you can't stop.


ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS
I'm only happy when it rains,
I'm only happy when it's complicated.
And though I know you can't appreciate it,
I'm only happy when it rains.

You know I love it when the news is bad,
And why it feels so good to feel so sad,
I'm only happy when it rains.

Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me,
Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me.

I'm only happy when it rains,
I feel good when things are going wrong,
I only listen to the sad, sad songs,
I'm only happy when it rains.

I only smile in the dark,
My only comfort is the night gone black.
I didn't accidentally tell you that,
I'm only happy when it rains.

You'll get the message by the time I'm through,
When I complain about me and you,
I'm only happy when it rains.

Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down),
Pour your misery down on me (Pour your misery down),
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down),
Pour your misery down on me (Pour your misery down),
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down),
Pour your misery down on me (Pour your misery down),
Pour your misery down.

You can keep me company,
As long as you don't care,
I'm only happy when it rains.

You wanna hear about my new obsession?
I'm riding high upon a deep depression,
I'm only happy when it rains (Pour some misery down on me).

I'm only happy when it rains (Pour some misery down on me),
I'm only happy when it rains (Pour some misery down on me),
I'm only happy when it rains (Pour some misery down on me),
I'm only happy when it rains (Pour some misery down on me).


AS HEAVEN IS WIDE
Nothing that you say will release you,
Nothing that you pray would forgive you,
Nothing's what your words mean to me,
Something that you did will destroy me,
Something that you said will stay with me,
Long after you're dead and gone.

If flesh could crawl,
My skin would fall.
From off my bones,
And run away from here.

As far from God,
As heaven is wide.
As far from God,
As angels can fly.

If holy is as holy does,
This house will burn straight down to Hell.
Take it's conscience with it,
As it falls.

Nothing said could change the fact,
My trust was blind.
You broke the pact,
If God's my witness, God must be blind.

If flesh could crawl,
My skin would fall.
From off my bones,
And run away from here.

As far from God,
As heaven is wide.
As far from God,
As angels can fly.

I wish, I wish,
I wish, I wish.

Take it back I dare you take it back,
No you can't? You should have thought of that.
What's inside a man,
That goes so wrong?

Choke on guilt that's far too good for you.
Say one word I'll laugh and bury you.
And leave you in the place,
Where you left me.

If flesh could crawl,
My skin would fall.
From off my bones,
And run away from here.

As far from God,
As heaven is wide.
As far from God,
As angels can fly.

I wish I could fly,
As angels can fly.

I wish, I wish.


NOT MY IDEA
I bit my tongue and stood in line,
With not much to believe in.
I bought into what I was sold,
And ended up with nothing.

This is not my idea of a good time,
This is not my idea of a good time,
This is not my idea of a good time,
This is not my idea.

You thought that I would never see.
What was meant for you was meant for me.
I was distracted at the time,
Forget about yours now what about mine.

This is not my idea of a good time,
This is not my idea of a good time,
This is not my idea of a good time,
This is not my idea.

You thought I was a little girl.
You thought I was a little mouse.
You thought you'd take me by surprise.
Now I'm here burning down your house.

This is not my idea of a good time,
This is not my idea of a good time,
This is not my idea of a good time,
This is not my idea.


A STROKE OF LUCK
Hanging by threads of palest silver,
I could have stayed that way forever.
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me,
Nothing could ever seem to touch me.

I lose what I love most,
Did you know I was lost until you found me?

A stroke of luck or a gift from God?
The hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me.

Here comes the cold again,
I feel it closing in.
It's falling down and,
All around me falling.

You say that you'll be there to catch me,
Or will you only try to trap me?
These are the rules I make,
Our chains were meant to break.
You'll never change me.

Here comes the cold again,
I feel it closing in.
You're falling down and,
All around me falling.

Stroke of luck or a gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me now.

Don't ask me why,
Don't even try.

A stroke of luck or a gift from God?
The hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me.

Here comes the cold again,
I feel it closing in.
It's falling down and,
All around me falling.

Falling, falling,
Falling, falling,
Falling, falling.


VOW
I can't use what I can't abuse,
And I can't stop when it comes to you.

You burned me out but I'm back at your door,
Like Joan of Arc coming back for more.

I nearly died,
I nearly died,
I nearly died.

I came to cut you up,
I came to knock you down.
I came around to tear your little world apart,
I cam to shut you up.
I came to drag you down,
I came around to tear your little world apart,
And break your soul apart.

You burn and burn to get under my skin,
You've gone too far now I won't give in.
You crucified me but I'm back in your bed,
Like Jesus Christ coming from the dead.

I nearly died,
I nearly died,
I nearly died.

I came to knock you up,
I came to cut you down.
I came around to tear your little world apart,
I came to rip you up.
I came to shut you down,
I came around to tear your little world apart,
And break your soul apart.

I nearly died,
I nearly died,
I nearly died.

I came to cut you up,
I came to knock you down.
I came around to tear your little world apart,
I came to shut you up.
I came to suck you down,
I came around to tear your little world apart.
Tear your little world apart,
Tear your little world apart,
And break your soul apart.

I can't stop when it comes to you,
I can't stop when it comes to you,
When it comes to you,
When it comes to you.


STUPID GIRL
You pretend you're high,
You pretend you're bored,
You pretend you're anything.
Just to be adored,
And what you need,
Is what you get.

Don't believe in fear,
Don't believe in faith,
Don't believe in anything,
That you can't break.

You stupid girl,
You stupid girl,
All you had you wasted,
All you had you wasted.

What drives you on (What drives you on),
Can drive you mad (Can drive you mad),
A million lies to sell yourself,
Is all you ever had.

Don't believe in love,
Don't believe in hate,
Don't believe in anything,
That you can't waste.

You stupid girl,
You stupid girl,
Can't believe you fake it,
Can't believe you fake it.

Don't believe in fear,
Don't believe in pain,
Don't believe in anyone,
That you can't tame.

You stupid girl,
You stupid girl,
All you had you wasted,
All you had you wasted.

You stupid girl,
You stupid girl,
Can't believe you fake it,
Can't believe you fake it.

You stupid girl,
You stupid girl,
Can't believe you fake it,
Can't believe you fake it.
You stupid girl.


DOG NEW TRICKS
I wish I had not woke up today,
Everyone mistakes the things you say.
Take the simple truth and,
Twist it all around.
Make it sound important,
Make it seem profound.

Dog new tricks,
Nothing you learn will stick.
Dog new tricks,
You make me feel so worthless.

Everyone I know has gone away,
Died or left or just forgot to stay.
Sometimes took for granted,
Sometimes turned away,
Sometimes didn't say what
I meant to say.

Dog new tricks,
Nothing you learn will stick.
Dog new tricks,
You make me feel so worthless.

Nothing you learn,
Nothing you learn,
Nothing you learn,
Nothing you learn.

I never would have pegged you,
For what you have become.
Everyone lies,
Everyone cheats,
Not like you've done.

Dog new tricks,
Nothing you learn will stick.
Dog new tricks,
You make me feel so worthless.

Dog new tricks,
Nothing you learn will stick.
Dog new tricks,
You make me feel so worthless.

Nothing you learn,
Nothing you learn,
Nothing you learn,
Nothing you learn.


MY LOVER’S BOX
My lover's charms,
Are in a box.
Beneath my bed,
And piece by piece.
I'll cherish them,
Until the end.

Send me an angel to love,
I need to feel a little piece of heaven.
Send me an angel to love,
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven.

They burn my hand,
Scar my face.
And blind my eyes,
I'll steal your breath,
And throw away,
What I despise.

Send me an angel to love,
I need to feel a little piece of heaven.
Send me an angel to love,
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven.

Between these walls,
And darkened halls,
I've done my time,
If I should die,
Before I wake,
Then you'll know why.

Send me an angel to love,
I need to feel a little piece of heaven.
Send me an angel to love,
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven (Piece by piece).
Send me an angel to love (Piece by piece),
I need to feel a little piece of heaven (Piece by piece).
Send me an angel to love (Piece by piece),
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven (Piece by piece).

Piece by piece,
Piece by piece,
Piece by piece (Send me an angel),
Piece by piece (Send me an angel),
Piece by piece (Send me an angel),
Piece by piece (Send me an angel).


FIX ME NOW
Things don't have to be this way,
Catch me on a better day.

Bury me above the clouds,
All the way from here.
Take away the things I need,
Take away my fear.

Hide me in a hollow sound,
Happy evermore.
Everything I had to give,
Gave out long before.

Fix me now I wish you would (Fix me now),
Bring me back to life (Fix me now),
Kiss me blind somebody should (Fix me now),
From hollow into light.

Crashing silent broken down,
Falling into night.
Who gave up an who gave in,
I'll go without a fight.

Cut me down or cut me dead,
Cut me in or out.
Kiss me blind time after time,
Take away my doubt.

Fix me now I wish you would {Fix me now I wish you would} (Fix me now),
Bring me back to life (Fix me now),
Kiss me blind somebody should {Kiss me blind somebody should}
(Fix me now),
From hollow into light.

Things don't have to be this way,
Catch me on a better day.

Nowhere only down from here,
Pick me off the floor.
Take away the things I dream,
One time one place one more.

Fix me now I wish you would {Fix me now somebody should} (Fix me now),
Bring me back to life (Fix me now),
Kiss me blind somebody should {Fix me now somebody should} (Fix me now),
From hollow into.

Fix me now I wish you would {Fix me now somebody should} (Fix me now),
Bring me back to life (Fix me now).
Kiss me blind somebody should {Fix me now somebody should} (Fix me now),
From hollow into light.

Things don't have to be this way,
Catch me on a better day.
Things don't have to be this way,
Catch me on a better day.


MILK
I am milk,
I am red hot kitchen.
And I am cool,
Cool as the deep blue ocean.

I am lost,
So I am cruel.
But I'd be love and sweetness,
If I had you.

I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for you.
I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for you.

I am weak,
But I am strong.
I can use my tears to,
Bring you home.

I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for you.
I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for you.
I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for you.

I am milk,
I am red hot kitchen.
I am cool,
Cool as the deep blue ocean.

I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for you.
I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for you.

I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for you.
I'm aching,
I'm aching for you.

I'm waiting,
I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for you.
