Every finger in the room is pointing at me. I want to spit in their faces then I get afraid of what that could bring. I got a bowling ball in my stomach, I got a desert in my mouth. Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now.
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets. Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets. I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in. Just what God needs. One more victim.
Chorus: Why do we Crucify ourselves everyday, we crucify ourselves and nothing I do is good enough for you, I crucify myself, everyday. We crucify ourselves, and my heart is sick of being, I said my heart is sick of being in chains.
Got a kick for dog begging for love. I got to have my suffering so that I can have my cross, I know a cat named Easter, he says, will you ever learn? You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird.
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets. looking for a savior beneath these dirty streets, I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in. Got enough guilt to start my own religion.
<Chorus>
Please be.....save me.....I cry.....
Looking for a savior in these dirty streets. Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets, I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in. Where're those angels when you need them.
<Chorus>
From in the shadow she calls and in the shadows she finds a way, finds a way. And in the shadows she crawls, clutching a faded photograph. My image under her thumb, yes with a message for my heart. Yes with a message for my heart.
Chorus: She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own. Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.
And in the doorway they stay and laugh as violins filled with water screams from the bluebells can't make them go away. Well I'm not seventeen, but I've cuts on my knees falling down as the winter takes one more cherry tree.
<Chorus>
Everyone else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own (repeat 4 times, with this next part under it:) rushin' rivers, threads so thin, Limitations. Dreams with the flying pigs, turbid blue and the drugstores too safe in their coats and their dos yeah smother in our hearts and a devil to my dots maybe, baby, yeah.)
And in the mist there she rides. Castles are burning in my heart. And as I twist I hold tight. And I ride to work every morning wondering why. Sit in the chair and be good now, oh and become all that they told you, the white coats enter the room and I'm calling my baby, calling my baby, calling my baby, calling.
<Chorus>
Excuse me, but can I be you for a while. My dog won't bite if you sit real still. I got the anti-christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again. yeah I can hear that. been saved again by the garbage truck. I got something to say you know but nothing comes, yes I know what you think of me, you never shut up. Yes I can hear them.But what if I'm a mermaid with these jeans of his with her name still on 'em hey, but I don't care cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been here, silent all these years.
So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts. What's so amazing about really deep thoughts. Boy, you best pray that I bleed real soon. How's that thought for ya. My scream got lost in a paper cup. You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone, I've got twenty-five bucks and a cracker, do you think it's enough to get us there? Cause what if I'm a mermaid with these jeans of his with her name still on 'em, hey but I don't care cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been here, silent all these...
Years go by if I'm here still waiting for somebody else to understand. Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my head. Years go by will I choke on my tears till finally there is nothing left? One more casualty, you know we're too easy, easy, easy.
Well, I love the way we communicate. Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape. Let's here what you think of me now, but baby don't look up. The sky is falling. your mother shows up in a nasty dress. It's your turn now to stand where I stand. Everybody looking at you, here take a hold of my hand. Yeah, I can hear them. But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of yours with her name still on them, hey, but I don't care cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice, I hear my voice, I hear my voice and it's been here, silent all these years. Silent all these, silent all these years.
So I ran faster, but it caught me here. Yes my loyalties turned like my ankle in the seventh grade, running after Billy, running after the rain.
Chorus: These precious things, let them bleed, let them wash away. These precious things, let them take their hold over me.
He said you're really an ugly girl, but I like the way you play, and I died, but I thanked him. can you believe that, sick, holding onto his picture, dressing up everyday. I wanna smash the faces of those beautiful boys, those christian boys. So you can make me come but does that make you Jesus?
<Chorus>
I remember, yes. In my peach party dress, no one dared, no one cared to tell me where the pretty girls are, those demi-gods with their nine - inch - nails and little fascist panties tucked inside the heart of every nice girl.
<Chorus>
Snow can wait I forgot my mittens. Wipe my nose, get my new boots on. I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter. I put my hand in my father's glove.
I run off where the drifts get deeper. Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown. I hear her voice, “You must learn to stand up for yourself cause I can’t always be around.
When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make uo your mind? Cause things are gonna change so fast. All the white horses are still in bed. I tell you that I'll always want you near. You say that things change my dear.”
Boys get discovered as winter melts. Flowers competing for the sun. Years go by and I’m here still waiting withering where some snow man was. Mirror, mirror where’s the crystal palace? But I only can see myself skating around the truth who I am. But I know, Dad, the ice is getting thin. He says,
“When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind? Cause things are gonna change so fast. All the white horses are still in bed. I tell you that I'll always want you near. They say that things change my dear.”
Hair is gray and the fires are burning. So many dreams on the shelf. You say I wanted you to be proud. I always wanted that myself.
When
you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do. When you
gonna make up your mind? Cause things are gonna change so fast. All the white
horses have gone ahead. I tell you that I'll always want you near. You say that things change my dear. Never change.
And if I died to day I’d be the happy phantom and I’d go chasing the nuns out in the yard. And I’d run naked through the streets without my mask on And I would never need umbrellas in the rain. I’d wake up in strawberry fields everyday. And the atrocities of school I can forget. The happy phantom has no right to bitch.
Chorus: Ooh, the time is getting closer, ooh the time to be a ghost. Ooh, everyday we’re getting closer. The sun is getting dim. Will we pay for who we’ve been, yeah.
And if I died to today I’d be the happy phantom. And I’d go wearing my naughties like a jewel. They'd be my ticket to the universal opera. There’s Judy Garland taking Buddha by the hand. And then these seven little men get up to dance. They say Confucius does his crossword with a pen. I’m still the angel to a girl who hates to sin.
<Chorus>
And will I see you, dear, and wish I could come back. You found a girl who you can truly love again. Will you still call for me when she falls asleep? Or do we soon forget the things we cannot see?
<Chorus>
China all the way to New York I can feel the distance getting close. You’re right next to me but I need an airplane. I can feel the distance as you breathe.
Sometimes I think you want me to touch you. Sometimes I can feel the great wall around. In your eyes I saw a future together, but then you look away in the distance.
China decorates the table, funny how the cracks don’t seem to show. Pour the wine, dear. You say we’ll take a holiday. But we never can agree on where to go.
Sometimes
I think you want me to touch you. Sometimes I can feel the great wall around
you. In your eyes I saw a future together, but then you look away in the
distance. China all the way to New York, maybe you got lost in Mexico. You're
right next to me, but I need an airplane. I can feel the distance, I can feel
the distance, I can feel the distance getting close.
Look, I’m standing naked before you, don’t you want more then my sex? I can scream as loud as your last one, but I can’t claim innocence.
Oh god, could it be the weather, oh God why am I here? If love isn’t forever, and it’s not the weather, hand me my leather.
I could just pretend that you love, the night would lose all sense of fear. But why do I need you to love me, if you can’t hold what I hold dear?
Oh, god, could it be the weather, oh God, why am I here? If love isn’t forever, and it’s not the weather hand me my leather.
I almost ran over an angel he had a nice big fat cigar. “In a sense,” he said “We’re alone here. So if you jump, you best jump far.”
Oh, god, could it
be the weather, oh God, why am I here? If love isn’t forever, and it’s not
the weather hand me my leather.
Go go go go now, out of the nest it’s time, go go go now circus girl without a safety net. Here here now, don’t cry. You raised your hand for the assignment. Tuck those ribbons under your helmet and be a good soldier.
First my left foot then my right behind the other, pantyhose running in the cold. Mother the car is here, somebody leave the light on. Green limousine for the red head, dancing, dancing girl. He’s gonna change my name. Somebody leave the light on, Just in case I like the dancing. I can’t remember where I come from.
I walked into your dream and now I’ve forgotten how to dream my own dream. You are the clever one aren’t you? Brides in veils for you, we told you all of our secrets. All but one, and don’t you even try, the phone has been disconnected.
Dripping with blood and with time and with your advice. Poisoned me against the moon. Mother the car is here, somebody leave the light on. Black cherry ed for the red head. Dancing, dancing girl. He’s gonna change my name. Somebody leave the light on, just in case I like the dancing. I can’t remember where I come from.
I escape into your escape into our very favorite fear-scape, it’s across the
sky and across my heart and I cross my legs oh my God. First my left foot then
my right behind the other bread crumbs lost under the snow. Mother.
Five
a.m. Friday morning, Thursday night, far from sleep. But I’m still up and
driving. I can’t go home, obviously. So I’ll just change direction cause
they’ll soon know where I live. And I want to live. I’ve a full tank and
some chips. It was me and a gun and a man on my back, and I sang “Holy,
Holy” as be buttoned down his pants. You can laugh, it’s kind of funny the
things you think in times like these. Like I haven’t seen Barbados, so I must
get out of this. Yes, I wore a slinky red thing, does that mean that I should
spread, for you and your friends, your father, mister Ed. It was me and a gun
and a man on my back, and I haven’t seen Barbados, so I must get out of this.
And I know what this means, me and Jesus a few years back used to hang and he
said, “It’s your choice babe, just remember, I don’t think that you’ll
be back in three days time, so you choose well.” Tell me what’s right, is it
my right to be on my stomach of Fred’s Seville? It was me and a gun and a man
on my back, and I haven’t seen Barbados, so I must get out this. And do you
know Carolina where the biscuits are soft and sweet? These things go through
your head when there’s a man on your back, and your pushed flat on your
stomach, it’s not a classic Cadillac. It was me and a Gun and a man on my
back, and I haven’t seen Barbados, so I must get out this. And I haven’t
seen Barbados, so I must get out of this.
All the world just stopped now. SO you say you don’t wanna stay together anymore? Let me take a deep breath babe. And if you need me and me and Neil'll be hanging out with the Dream King. Neil says “Hi”, by the way. I don’t believe you're leaving cause me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream. I think it’s that girl.
And I think there're pieces of me you’ve never seen , maybe she's just pieces of me you’ve never seen, well.
Chorus: All the world is and all I am. The black of the blackest ocean and that tear in your hand. All the world is dangling, dangling, dangling for me darling, you don’t know the power that you have with that tear in your hand. Tear in your hand.
And maybe, I ain’t used to maybes smashing in a cold room. Cutting my hands up every time I touch you. And maybe, maybe it’s time to wave goodbye now. Time to wave goodbye now.
Caught a ride with the moon. Well, I know I know you well, well, better then I used to. Haze all clouded up my mind in a daze of why it could've never been so you say and I say you know you're full of wish and your "baby, baby, baby, babies" I tell you there're pieces of me you've never seen, maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen, well.
<Chorus>
Yellow bird flying gets shot in the wing. Good year for hunters and Christmas parties. And I hate, and I hate, and I hate, and I hate elevator music, the way we fight. The way I left here Silent.
Ooh, these little earthquakes. Here we go again. Ooh, these little earthquakes. Doesn’t take much to rip us into pieces.
We danced in graveyards with vampires until dawn. We laughed in the faces of kings never afraid to burn. And I hate and I hate and I hate and I hate disintegration, watching us wither. Black winged roses that slowly change colors.
Ooh, these little earthquakes. Here we go again. Ooh, these little earthquakes. Doesn’t take much to rip us into pieces.
I can’t reach you. Give me life give me pain,
give me myself again. Give me life give me pain give me myself again….
