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've 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've really made it!
Hey, there's only us left now!

When I wake up, in my make-up
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
Of what you wish for
It better be worth it
So much to die for

Hey, so glad you could make it!
Yeah, now you've really made it!
Hey, there's only us here now!

When I wake up, in my make-up
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 obliterated 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 me
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 party
Yeah, it's awful
It was punk, yeah, it was so perfect
Now it's awful

They know how to break all the girls like you
And they rob the souls of girls like 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
Your loss, 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 sixteen
Oh, just shut up
You're only sixteen

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 candy coat
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 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
Ho'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
10 good reasons to stay alive
10 good reasons 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, take me away
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

You seen a cripple dance
Baby, now's your chance
Eyes 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 dyin', I'm dyin', please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

Our love is quicksand
So easy to drown
They steal the gravity
From moving ground

Remember, you promised me
I'm dyin', I'm dyin', please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

And now I understand
You leave with everything
You'll leave with everything I am
Everthing

And now I know that love is dead
You've come to bury me
There's nothing left here to pretend
Anything

Remember, you promised me
I'm dyin', I'm dyin', please
I want so, I need to be
Under your skin

I'm dyin', I'm dyin', please
I'm dyin', I'm dyin', please
I'm dyin', I'm dyin', please
Oh.. Under your skin
Under your skin

Use Once & Destroy

It's the emptiness that follows you there
It's the ache insides when it 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 burned 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

Ooh, I will follow you
Anytime, anywhere
Ooh, 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
& blackest night & I will 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 Northern Lights
Kneel into the frozen lights

And they paid, I cry and cry for you
Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow
I cried cos you were doomed
Praying to the wound that swallows
All that's cold and cruel
Can you see the treees, 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 grave

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 Northern 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 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 you 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
Cos I'll do anything
And I'll take the blame
What's mine is yours
You can have all of it
And I learn to beg

Oh, the boys on the radio
They crash and burn
They fold and fade so slow

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
Tonight

I want what's yours
Oh, I'd give anything and
I'll take the pain
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 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

If I let you in
Under my skin
And risen every angel slain

He said he'd never, ever
Ever go
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 where are running to, please come back
Oh, come back again
I hear the truth, it's coming from you
Oh, come back, won't you come back again

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
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 a sign in the form of a girl
She's the finest, sweetest thing in the world
Oh, take you to Heaven tonight

I feel the horses coming galloping
In the summer's end
Take you to Heaven tonight
Oh, because I love you
For what you are

I'll gallop to you
Tonight, tonight I will ride
I'll give it to you
We'll go to Heaven tonight
Tonight

I don't know why ?
Oh baby, I was heading for Heaven tonight
I'll go to Heaven tonight
I feel the horses coming galloping

Because I love you
For what you are

I'll gallop to you
Tonight, tonight I will 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 could be happy
Oh, stop your crying, you could be happy
Go to Heaven when you make me happy

Here comes a kiss that I never had
Nothing feels like this, headed to Heaven tonight
I love you
Here comes a storm in the form of a girl
She's the finest, sweetest thing in the world
Oh, I'll go to Heaven tonight
For what you are

I'll gallop to you
Tonight, tonight I will ride
I'll bow down to you
We'll go to Heaven tonight
Tonight

Playing Your Song

Hey you, 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

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 on apathy
You burned right out
Hey you, so bored and cynical
It's fucking wonderful, they sold you out

Oh, they've bought and sold it all it's gone
They've taken it and built a mall
And now they're playing your song

Oooh, their innocence tastes like candy, yeah
Get so fat on it, it's a tragedy, yeah
Oooh, 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
It's just so mean and cruel
They sold you out

Petals

She's the angel on top of the tree
Sugarheart, here she comes
She's going to fall on me

Innocence was our fire
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 destorys
the past that made us old

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

I wait till mine and
Hey, it's all mine
Hey, it's all mine
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
Ooooooooo, ooooooh
Ooooooooo

All the lillies 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
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
