from the album “See You on the Other Side”
TWISTED TRANSISTOR
Hey you, devil’s little sister, listening to your twisted transistor,Hold it between your legs, turn it up, low end is coming through, can’t get enough.
A lonely life where no one understands you, but don’t give up because the music do.
Because the music do, and then is reaching inside you, forever preaching.
Fuck you too, your scream’s a whisper, hang on you twisted transistor.
Hey you, finally you get it, the world ain’t fair, eat you if you let it,
And as your tears fall on your breast, your dress, vibrations coming through, you’re in a mess.
A lonely life where no one understands you, but don’t give up because the music do.
Because the music do, and then is reaching inside you, forever preaching.
Fuck you too, your scream’s a whisper, hang on you twisted transistor.
Hey you, this won’t hurt a bit. Says who? Anaesthetise this bitch!
Just let me be, between you and me, don’t fit.
POLITICS
Everyone’s corrupt, you should just shut up, lay down, back off, the demon you’ve disrupted.Don’t want to talk about politics, don’t preach or talk about politics,
Don’t let me talk about politics, don’t give a shit about politics.
You want to sleep with him to get to who you need to know; think that’s the way to go, don’t you?
It’s in religion, sex and everything we do and say; I look the other way, won’t you?
Everybody’s raped, lying to your face, kicks you in the gut, slayed you here, all messed up.
Don’t want to talk about politics, don’t preach or talk about politics,
Don’t let me talk about politics, don’t give a shit about politics.
You want to sleep with him to get to who you need to know; think that’s the way to go, don’t you?
It’s in religion, sex and everything we do and say; I look the other way, won’t you?
Tiniest feelings are in your soul and they remain there.
Darkest light in the deepest hole, you sit and pray there.
All the deals and the deeds you’ve done, you wouldn’t ever work for.
What you thought was so much fun you’ll have to pay for.
HYPOCRITES
(Your messiah was never mine,) hypocrites!Weeping rose of Jeremiah, drops of blood drip off your petals,
Representing all our tears in a ring of burning metal.
How you want to be, what you gonna say? It doesn’t bother me, who you gonna pay?
Sorcerers and sadists come to define the what and why,
People travel across this earth, over water, land and sky.
How you want to be, what you gonna say? It doesn’t bother me, who you gonna pay?
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver, pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars,
Pay the bitches they’re charging when their dates stand by, I’m not gonna pay, it’s already mine.
Hypocrites, I’m gonna do it blind, hypocrites, your messiah was never mine.
Weeping rose of Jeremiah, purity unlike no other.
Offers help to those who need it, don’t forget care to thy brother.
How you want to be, what you gonna say? It doesn’t bother me, who you gonna pay?
Little old lady at home, writing out a cheque to send.
It’s all the money that she owns, she believes the world might end.
How you want to be, what you gonna say? It doesn’t bother me, who you gonna pay?
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver, pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars,
Pay the bitches they’re charging when their dates stand by, I’m not gonna pay, it’s already mine.
Hypocrites, I’m gonna do it blind, hypocrites, your messiah was never mine.
SOUVENIR
I never knew what I was gonna be, somebody saw what I couldn’t see and lifted me up now.I never thought I could be worthy of love, an angelical sky above, don’t let the thunder fall.
Why does everybody have to fit in? Feel so damn comfortable in their skin.
Does that mean I am the souvenir of sadness, method to the madness?
Hands up if you feel this, anyone who has this.
Stand up, nobody’s dying to save you, speak up, nobody’s waiting to see you,
Wake up, nobody’s working to pay you, let me make it clear you had this.
Back then, nobody knew in the schoolyard, now then, knew I’d grown up to be this hard.
Go then, walk through this world with your heart scarred, you’re the souvenir of sadness.
They never knew what I was gonna say, punch me and kick me and run away.
You know who you are, so now look at me, what do you have to say?
Never gave up for you anyway, you know who you are, so now look at me, what do you have to say?
Never gave up for you, any ‘we’re happy’ childhood backlash.
Souvenir of sadness, method to the madness, hands up if you feel this, anyone who has this.
Stand up, nobody’s dying to save you, speak up, nobody’s waiting to see you,
Wake up, nobody’s working to pay you, let me make it clear you had this.
Back then, nobody knew in the schoolyard, now then, knew I’d grown up to be this hard.
Go then, walk through this world with your heart scarred, you’re the souvenir of sadness.
10 OR A 2-WAY
Precious your fingers, she knows how to hold the poison.Lick it, dip it, and for no particular reason she crawls on the floor, slides against the door.
Precious fingers, shows her blossom, it’s in season.
Doesn’t matter, she’ll be doing it her way, doesn’t care if it’s a ten or a two-way.
Doesn’t matter, she’ll be doing it her way, every night, every day.
I never meant to show up here anyway, I’m only fucking you til the season change.
Treasure deep between the places that you hold dear,
Can’t it hurt to act as if we are in love here?
Lying across this chair, fingers everywhere, terrifying all the angels up above here.
Doesn’t matter, she’ll be doing it her way, doesn’t care if it’s a ten or a two-way.
Doesn’t matter, she’ll be doing it her way, every night, every day.
I never meant to show up here anyway, I’m only fucking you til the season change.
When you come (be a good girl), hold your breath (make it last long),
It is called the little death, girl.
THROW ME AWAY
Flesh wound, with medication it will fade.Should I assume that someone hears me when I pray?
Love, full of hate, don’t you love how I break?
Don’t let them throw me away, keep me and I’ll be okay,
Skipping a beat but it plays, don’t let them throw me away.
Screwed up, used up, crumpled, lying on the floor,
Fucked up, shut up, all you did back then was score.
I’m feeling weak, missing parts, incomplete.
Don’t let them throw me away, keep me and I’ll be okay,
Skipping a beat but it plays, don’t let them throw me away.
Hold me up into the light, fix the cracks and fix them right,
Keep the pieces in the drawer, keep them there forevermore,
Make a menu for some day, recycle this shit in some way,
And all that I have to say, don’t let them throw me away.
LOVE SONG
Mother, you’re holding my heart, screaming.Motherfucker, they left me broken, bleeding.
Son of the man you loved and left for the son of a bitch who tried to show me death’s door.
Everything’s eliminated, everything is dedicated.
Take a leap, this step I hated, even death was overrated.
Love song for the dear departed, headstone for the broken hearted, arms to kill or flowers to steal.
Head trip for the mortal earthbound, one sip of the blood that I found, lying here, I’m dying here.
Acid obituaries rain down, it’s our fate, we’re lying naked face down.
Once you get decapitated can you see me fascinated?
Yet another day, goddamnit, only death can be mismanaged.
Love song for the dear departed, headstone for the broken hearted, arms to kill or flowers to steal.
Head trip for the mortal earthbound, one sip of the blood that I found lying here, I’m dying here.
Don’t bring me daffodils, bring a bouquet of pills, seeds of geranium, crack to the cranium.
Protect me when you can, respect me when I am dying.
OPEN UP
What were you thinking? I guess I’ll never know.See your eyes blinking, pupils begin to grow.
Drilling you softly, pulling you in, making your mind up what’s sick or a sin.
Open up now, let it all go, I’m quite certain, say it ain’t so,
You’re corrupted by some sick fuck, oh no.
Open up now, head in the sky, pierce the tongue that keeps telling lies.
Still it’s in my mouth, you breathe in but can’t breathe out.
What you’ve been taking, it makes you talk real slow.
How come I’m thinking you’d be the last to know?
Choking you gently, gaining control, hand you the shovel to dig your own hole.
Open up now, let it all go, I’m quite certain, say it ain’t so,
You’re corrupted by some sick fuck, oh no.
Open up now, head in the sky, pierce the tongue that keeps telling lies.
Still it’s in my mouth, you breathe in but can’t breathe out.
COMING UNDONE
Keep holding on when my brain’s ticking like a bomb, guess the black dogs have come again to get me.Sweet bitter words unlike nothing I have heard, sing along mockingbird, you don’t affect me.
That’s right, deliver it to my heart, please try, be deliberate.
Wait, I’m coming undone, irate, I’m coming undone, too late, I’m coming undone,
What looks so strong, so delicate.
Wait, I’m starting to suffocate and soon I anticipate, I’m coming undone,
What looks so strong, so delicate.
Choke again, I find my demons were my friends, pity me, in the end they’re out to get me.
Since I was young I’ve tasted sorrow on my tongue and this sweet sugar gun does not protect me.
That’s right, trigger between my eyes, please try, make it quick now.
Wait, I’m coming undone, irate, I’m coming undone, too late, I’m coming undone,
What looks so strong, so delicate.
Wait, I’m starting to suffocate and soon I anticipate, I’m coming undone,
What looks so strong, so delicate.
I’m trying to hold it together, head is lighter than a feather, looks like I’m not getting better.
GETTING OFF
You can bury it yourself, (go with it)Is it turning you on? (go with it)
I’ll be sitting right here, (go with it)
When the time is right (I’ll stick it).
Licking your own skin, so trippy, squeezing your own ass, so pretty.
Is that the ways it’s used for shitting? When you finally come, so pretty.
Bitch, we have got a problem, there’s not enough to be hitting it.
Getting off, I’m getting off, keep getting off, I’m getting off to you.
It’s not enough, and more can never be enough, I’m getting off to you.
Dipping your hands right in, (go with it)
Come on, it’s not a sin, (go with it)
You can let me in, (go with it)
Wonder where I’ve been (I’ll stick it).
Licking your own skin, so trippy, squeezing your own ass, so pretty.
Is that the ways it’s used for shitting? When you finally come, so pretty.
Bitch, we have got a problem, there’s not enough to be hitting it.
Getting off, I’m getting off, keep getting off, I’m getting off to you.
It’s not enough, and more can never be enough, I’m getting off to you.
Hold my knees, lick my treat, fuck, I’m coming on you.
LIAR
My brother, you love her but don’t give up your instincts.Hang onto you-know-what, they’ll be gone fast as you blink.
They’re trained to seduce you, suck you dry quick as they can.
They tie down, reduce you, now you’re barely a man.
Oh my God, how can you deny the flood that’s flowing through you?
Hey you, you’re saying that she’s all that you desire, liar.
Hey you, you think you can throw water on this fire, liar.
It’s not wrong to let go and let the woman ride you.
For fuck sake, don’t lose touch with the dog that’s inside you.
She wanted what you had, you bet she smelt the spoor.
Don’t wimp up, fuck her up one more time, slam that door.
Oh my God, how can you deny the flood that’s flowing through you?
Hey you, you’re saying that she’s all that you desire, liar.
Hey you, you think you can throw water on this fire, liar.
FOR NO ONE
I’m getting out, I’m leaving here, I’m kicking right through this door.I stole your girl who was my girl, I always said she’s a whore.
Clutch to accelerate from everything I hate, now this is my kind of disaster.
Break in and take what we want and then burn down the liquor store,
Pick up our friends, tell them it’s on, get in, don’t ask what it’s for.
Subwoofer kicking in, porn on the TV screen, these spinning rims don’t go no faster.
We can drive all night, and we’re not gonna stop for the pigs or no one,
Just follow the light, and we’re not gonna stop for the pigs or no one.
We’re flipping off the people who dissed on our statures today.
We’re throwing bricks right through their windows and then we drive away,
And break this thing around, new things I could have found,
We keep on changing our direction.
Go past the school, the church, the places that caused us hurt, we’re gone.
If we keep moving forward maybe we’ll forget where we’re from.
We’re gonna shake things up, we’re gonna break it down, we built this car with our rejection.
We can drive all night, and we’re not gonna stop for the pigs or no one,
Just follow the light, and we’re not gonna stop for the pigs or no one.
You can never go back not even if you wanted to know where, you’re in deep now.
You’ve been fucking them real good lately, one minute you come from zero, go now.
SEEN IT ALL
I’m an animal, I’m a victim, I’m the answer to your prayers,I’m a witness, I’m a witch hunt, I’m the monster up the stairs,
I’m ghost that’s in the mirror, I’m everything that you fear,
I’m the riptide, I’m the soul shock, I’m the voice that’s in your head.
I’ve seen it all, still can’t taste it, smashed to the wall that brought me to my knees.
I’ve done it all, fucked up, wasted, still in my blood but now inside unseen.
I’m the hunted, I’m the predator, I’m the answer to the riddle,
I’m the upbeat, I’m the headfuck, I’m the way that’s left of to the middle,
I’m the player, I’m the naïve, I’m the one who’s not addicted,
I’m illogic, turn the fuck up, I’m the broken one who fixed it.
I’ve seen it all, still can’t taste it, smashed to the wall that brought me to my knees.
I’ve done it all, fucked up, wasted, still in my blood but now inside unseen.
I’m just a child with the tears in its eyes, I am holding this gift that is broken, what do I have left now?
TEARJERKER
Well, I wish there was someone to love me.When I used to be someone and I knew there was someone that loved me.
As I sit here, frozen, alone, even ghosts get tired and go home as they crawl back under the stones.
And I wish there was something, please tell me there’s something better,
And I wish there was something more than this saturated loneliness,
And I wish I could feel it, and I wish I could steal it,
Abduct it, corrupt it, but I never can, it’s just saturated loneliness.
Does the silence get lonely, who knows?
I’ve been hearing it tell me, ‘Go home’,
Cause the freaks are playing tonight, they packed up and turned out the lights.
And I wish there was something, please tell me there’s something better,
And I wish there was something more than this saturated loneliness,
And I wish I could feel it, and I wish I could steal it,
Abduct it, corrupt it, but I never can, it’s just saturated loneliness.
And the bath water’s cold and this life’s getting old.
IT’S ME AGAIN
I shred your bullshit poetry, yes it’s me again, I wreck your positivity, yes it’s me again.I fuck it to watch it bleed, I kick it to make it scream, I am the alternate choice to some stray life of mercy.
You see beauty, I see pain, you see sky and I see acid rain, it’s me again.
I rip your throat out on a whim, yes it’s me again, I only ask for everything, yes it’s me again.
I squeeze it to feel it breathe, I smash it to fuel this need, I am the antidote for whatever sickness you feed.
You see beauty, I see pain, you see sky and I see acid rain, it’s me again.
Little miss fucker, don’t move an inch, y’all punk suckers can’t take the heat.
Your blood rushing from head to feet, this is what I stand for.
All the unjustice that’s done to man, all you fuckers know who I am.
I’m the living proof that you can turn around and say it’s me again.
EATEN UP INSIDE
I’ll die smiling, something perverse someone said to me will make me laugh and I’ll lay back and fade away.Let me go, I’ll be fine frozen here in time, sick of being alive, eaten up inside.
Let me die, go away, I never got what I wanted, I never got what I needed.
What’s on my mind, who can say? It’s my infection I’m feeding, I cannot stop all this bleeding.
I’ll be ready, give me the morphine and I’ll go to sleep.
As I dream maybe I will just lie awake.
Let me go, I’ll be fine frozen here in time, sick of being alive, eaten up inside.
Let me die, go away, I never got what I wanted, I never got what I needed.
What’s on my mind, who can say? It’s my invention I’m beating, I cannot stop all this bleeding.
LAST LEGAL DRUG (LE PETIT MORT)
Put your hand against your skin, rub it gently to begin, you feel, can you feel it?When does pleasure become pain, when does sex become insane?
You say it as you feel it.
When you come (be a good girl), hold your breath (make it last long),
It’s a mess and it’s called the little death, girl.
So please when you die, could you scream, mercy for you and me.
It’s true what they say, fucking for love might be the last legal drug.
So please, when you cry let it flow, I might make you stay, let you go.
It’s true what they say, fucking for love might be the last legal drug.
Push back one more time that’s all and the rain begins to fall, you feel it, can you feel it?
People who ain’t seen shit been telling you that it’s a sin, you say it as you feel it.
When you come (be a good girl), hold your breath (make it last long),
It’s a mess and it’s called the little death, girl.
So please when you die, could you scream, mercy for you and me.
It’s true what they say, fucking for love might be the last legal drug.
So please, when you cry let it flow, I might make you stay, let you go.
It’s true what they say, fucking for love might be the last legal drug.
Le petit mort.
