You got the tongue of the devil / With the intention of a saint / You've got the tact of a shovel / Upside my head without restraint / Tell me , tell me, tell me what you want to say / Tell me what you want / You got the grace of a wino / Without the breath of the drink / You're thinkin' too much about you / Wondering what I might think / Well I'm thinkin' / Tell me, tell me, tell me what you want to say... / You got lips like the lock on Pandora's box / You use your mouth like a spike in the Holy Cross / You got the timing of a toothache / Behind the smile of a god / You're talkin' circles with straight lines / About a topic you forgot / Tell me, tell me, tell me what you want to say... / You got lips like the lock on Pandora's box / You use your mouth like a spike in the Holy Cross / You shoot your words, baby / You got lips like the lock on Pandora's box / You bash your mouth like a spike in the Holy Cross / You shoot words like the bullets / Lennon got.
You see a face of beauty, you kiss lips of love / But you haven't known me long enough, to meet both of us / From underneath the surface, of skin that ain't deep / My ugliness is gnashing his teeth / I was born a Siamese twin, joined by the soul / Stuck inside this body, I fight for control / I think you should be running now, I'm getting weak / My darkness is beginning to creep / There is so much I've stolen / Too many times I've fallen / Run while you're able / I'm telling you now, you're in danger / The Devil's got my one hand, the other's in God's / As they're yankin' on their prize, they tear me apart / How the hell I got here, I seem to forgot / I just remember I was one at the start / There is so much I've broken / Too much truth unspoken / Run while you're able / I'm telling you now you're in danger / I'm telling you now you're in danger / You've fallen in love with a stranger / There is so much broken / Too many hearts unchosen / Run while you're able / I'm telling you now you're in danger / Should've left me to die in the manger / You've fallen in love with a stranger.
Keep it inside, tie it down / Put it on the back burner and, bury it in the ground / Don't say a thing, no, no, don't you make a sound, you're bound / Play your part, get on the stage / Come up, lie for me, in the bed that I made / Don't forget your lines, you know the ones, / Truth has no place in this cage / Don't you tell me your heart is broken / It's best your pain, remain unspoken / Shut your face, you must be joking / I don't want to know / It's in our family, it's in our blood / It's in our religion and, it's in our love / Don't expect a change, no, no, you won't get no difference / From me / Don't you tell me your heart is broken / It's best your pain, remain unspoken / Shut your face, you must be joking / I don't want to know... / It's in our family, it's in our blood / It's in our religion and, it's in our love...
I don't trust myself, or how I feel / If I have control or if I know what's real / I doubt I will do or say the right thing / I'm pretty sure I'm not clear minded /About anything, I don't know why/ There's a rumor of a baby, who is hurt inside / I don't trust myself that I won't obsess / I feel the need to reach for your dress / It's black and sheer, it's clear I'm going to try / And lie to myself again tonight, I don't care why / There's a rumor I've a baby, who is stuck inside / I can't get the abandon, out of my mind / All that I love, I know I will wreck / So, let's floor it, adore it, the blurring view / Maybe I'll get lucky and break my neck / I'm sick of you baby / I hate you're inside / I can't get the abandon, out of my mind... / I'm out of my mind.
No shepherd, just sheep. No lover, no I could not keep. What the hell am I doing here? / In this country, alone, I don't have enough money to even get stoned. What the hell am I doing here? / "Be a man boy, find your way son, don't be a wimp, don't play that song." Fuck off I ain't taking your advice no more. / I take a turn for the worse, But nobody's driving my dead body off in a hearse. I'm awake, I'm alive. There's a world out there, but I am stuck inside. What the hell am I doing here..? Everyone's a critic, even I. Nobody tells the truth, nobody knows that they lie. What the fuck are you, doing here? / I had dreams, vision, purpose, I was in focus. Now I don't know what I have. But my breath, two pounds, a cold plate of nothing, I hate the sound of my voice, this song, and I don't know where I went wrong! What the hell am I doing here..? / I'm getting out.../ I've gotta get out, get out...
I had to cut my hair / I got back into town, because I ran out of cash / I got my old job back and I bought a bug / It's got a pull out stereo / Moved in with mom and now I make my bed / I can't get out of this situation fast enough / I had to cut my hair / I was living in Dublin / Made some friends, I had a band but fell apart / Drank up the "Guinnae", and I woke up when I wanted / I grew out my hair , I was being myself / Until I got back home and became this someone else / And had to cut my hair... / I should have made my step, never taken this job, / Gotten that loan and rented a room in Santa Monica / But I just sat in that chair, looking at myself in the mirror / Watching my hair get chopped of my head / Man I'm so pissed off I... / The higher you go, the harder you hit, Leave me alone / The deeper I go, I want to drown in it, Leave me alone / The record company's knocking / The magazines & newspapers are talking / MTV, everybody's still telling me who to be / Yeah man, this place makes you work too much / Setting you up for the lost soul sucker punch / But you don't care you want me to cut my hair...
I'm gonna find your window, and chuck this brick through it / When I reach your kingdom, I'll set it on fire / I'm gonna steal your Cadillac, key it, and drive it into the ground / I'm pissed off, you let me down / Sacrilege... / You prick tease, you touch my heart then split / You leave me to drown and choke in the shit / You give me direction, then break my legs / I crawl before you, you make me beg / I'm pissed off, you fucking let me down / Sacrilege... / If I see you on my side of town / I'm gonna punch your face, put you in the ground / You hurt me baby, / You hurt me baby, / You hurt / Sacrilege... / Sacrilege my ass.
I like the burning buildings / It makes me shiver when they scream / The twisting metal, falling brick and all the tricks / That bring me to my knees / I like the falling angels / As they tumble, roll and spin / "You're out of heaven, cut your wings, collect your things / And burn into my skin!" / I know, I know it all too well... / I like this roller coaster / Up the hill I start to smile / Over the top, down fast until at last / I can't wait for the end of the ride, the ride / I know, I know it all too well...
I don't have to be nice to you / I won't pretend to be kind / I'm not gonna say anything / Except for what's on my mind / I can finally feel the pain / That you're afraid to know my Liberation / I don't have to be right anymore / I don't want to be clear / I'm not gonna try like before / No, I ain't afraid of your fear / I may be bent up and broke, but at least I own my Liberation / I don't have to be nice to you / When you're sucking me dry / I'm sick of twisting your knife in my back / And I'm tired of looking behind / Your old ways can suck the exhaust of my new days, baby / You'll never know my Liberation
I'm bored of all of you, yeah it's me, I've changed / I came back you know, to keep in touch to find I'm bored of you / I'm bored of all of you, now I'm wondering why I ever returned / Obviously I expected something else, I'm bored of you / You remind me of who I was, You live where I've been, You have the shape I don't want to be, would you stop trying to change me back into the man you used to see / I'm bored of all of you, ya it's me, I've changed / If you'd pull your head out, wipe your eyes take a look, it's no surprise I'm bored of all of you / You remind me of who I was, You live where I have been, You have the shape I don't want to be, Would you stop, pushing me, back into the Matt you used to see.
