Cut Dead

What can I do
It's gotten me beaten black and blue
Why don't you know
You got me moving much too slow
Why can't you see
You got me chasing honey bees
You made me fall
Broke me up and took it all
Call me your messed up boy
Just what I've found
You knock my body to the ground
Just what I've said
You're tearing up my weary head
Do I still shine
After such a lonely time
You cut me dead
You nail me down and kick my head
Cut dead your messed up boy
hey hey hey
hey hey hey
hey hey hey

In A Hole

Grass grows greener
On the other side
Corn grows sweeter
On the other side
And I watch, And I watch, And I watch
And I see too much
And I broke my face
And my head grows too much
God spits
On my soul
There's something dead inside my hole
In my hole
In my hole
In my hole
I step crueller
But less defined
Striped cats cooler
But so is mine
And I want to see
What I want to be
And I see me on a touching screen
And I'm dancing to a scream
God spits
On my soul
There's something dead inside my hole
In my hole
In my hole
In my hole
How can something crawl within
My rubber holy baked bean tin
It's god to me, it's god to me
It is heart and soul
Oh, heart and soul

Inside Me

I take my time away
And I see something
And that's my story
And I see something
This takes me back again
And drops me so
This takes me back again
And drops me so far safe
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
Hey.... Yeah
I've seen it all go
And I've seen something
I've seen my head grow
And I've seen something
This takes me up again
And drops me so
This takes me back again
And drops me so far safe
I've seen my time away
Blows up and far away
I've seen it all before
I've seen my head expand
My head expand
It's living inside me

Just Like Honey

Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
It's good, so good, it's so good
So good
Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you
I'll be your plastic toy
I'll be your plastic toy
For you
Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do
Just like honey (x 17)

My Little Underground

Running away
I got something to say
You're in my way
So goodbye yesterday
I'm gonna run and find
A place where I can hide
Somewhere that no one knows
Someplace that no one goes
So don't you look for me
I'll be where you can't see
Somewhere I can't be found
My little underground
It's easy to see
That you're laughing at me
No guarantee
At least none I can see
And it's cold outside
Doesn't work out right
Gonna stay inside
Gonna stay inside
I'm gonna run and find
A place where I can hide
Somewhere that no one knows
Someplace that no one goes
So don't you look for me
I'll be where you can't see
Somewhere I can't be found
My little underground
Sun shines so high
Bright in the sky
Sun shines so
Sun shines so
Sun shines so high above
And it's cold outside
And it's cold outside
Doesn't work out right
Gonna stay inside
And I can't
Can't understand it
Don't know why
Don't know why
Just can't
Can't understand it
Don't know why
Don't know why
And it's cold outside
Doesn't work out right

Never Understand

The sun comes up another day begins
And I don't even worry about the state I'm in
Head so heavy and I'm looking thin
But when the sun goes down I wanna start again
You never understand me
You never understand me
Yeah
Don't turn around until you look at me
Why don't you take a second and tell me what you see
Things I see you only disagree
You never understand that's what I want to be
You never understand me
You never understand me
Yeah
Not wishing to hide but you just can't see me
I tell you the truth but you don't believe me
Thinking of love but I can't hear what you're saying
Tomorrow I'm leaving
Cause I'm not stayin'
Yeah....
(Uh huh huh)

It's good, so good, it's so good

I'll be your plastic toy

Some Candy Talking

I'm going down to the place tonight
To see if I can get a taste tonight
A taste of something warm and sweet
That shivers your bones and rises to your heat
I'm going down to the place tonight
The damp and hungry place tonight
Should all the stars shine in the sky
They couldn't outshine your sparkling eyes
But it's so hard to be the one
To touch and tease and to do it all for fun
But it's too much for a young heart to take
Cause hearts are the easiest things you could break
And I talk to the filth and I walk to the door
I'm knee deep in myself
But I want to get more of that stuff
Of that stuff
Some candy talking
Talk
And I want
And I want
Some candy talking
Some candy talk
I love the way she's walking
I love the way she's talking
It's just the way she's walking
It's just the way she's talking
And I need
All that stuff
Give me some
Of that stuff
I want your candy. I want your candy
And I need
Give me some
Of your stuff
Give me some
I want your candy. I want your candy.
I want your candy. I want your candy.
I want stuff

Sowing Seeds

I see people going down
All gods people going down
And I should not be alone
And I should be on my phone
Yes I should be on my phone
Yes I should be on my phone
I'll go where that apple goes
I touch with an apple touch
I see people
Candy people
I'm sowing seeds
I'm sowing seeds
I feel as sharp as a carving knife
So I feel in love for the very last time
I'm sick of the beating by everyone
I'm sick of the beating by everyone
I want peace
I want peace
I want peace
I want peace
I'm sowing seeds
I'm sowing seeds
I'm sowing seeds
I'm sowing seeds
I'm sowing seeds

Taste Of Cindy

Crack of dawn
Cindy's movin' on
Talking Cindy to everyone
Til she's had her fun
She has me
We twist the sun and sea
Still she's talking to everyone
Cindy's had her fun
Though I've heard it before
Still I need you more and more
But I just can't get away
Cindy kills me every day
And I tried and I tried
But you looked right through me
Knife to my head when she talks so sweetly
Knife in my head when I think of Cindy
Knife in my head is the taste of Cindy

Taste The Floor

It's too cool
To get something done
Too many things move fast
I can't quite get a grip at last
And all the stars don't shine
And all the stars don't shine
And all the walls fall down
And all the fish get drowned
Here it comes
Can't you hear the sound of it
Just like a big brass drum
And some cunts always scratching it
Just like a voice is pain
Just like the taste is pain
I wish that I could fly
You have to learn to fly
She's singing to herself
As she's singing in herself
And she walk right up to you
As she walk all over you
Don't turn off
I don't expect, I just accept
I'm happy in my box
You got to see the box upstairs
And the sun don't shine
And all the stars don't shine
And all the walls fall down
And all the fish get drowned
She's singing to herself
As she's singing in herself
And she walk right up to you
As she walk all over you

The Hardest Walk

I never thought that this day would ever come
When your words and your touch just struck me numb
Oh and it's plain to see that it's dead
The thing swims in blood and it's cold stoney dead
It's so hard not to feel ashamed
Of the loving living games we play
Each day
And I'm stuck in a shack
Down the back of the sea
Oh and I'm alive and I'm alone
Inside a sick sick dream
Oh is it me
Is it me that feels so weak
I cannot deceive but I find it hard to speak
The hardest walk you could ever take
Is the walk you take from A to B to C
I walk
Oh honey I talk
Don't want you to want me
Don't want you to need me
Don't want you to need me
Don't want you to need me
And I walk

The Living End

I get ahead on my motorbike
I get ahead on my motorbike
I feel so quick in my leather boots
I feel so quick in my leather boots
My mood is black when my jacket's on
My mood is black when my jacket's on
And I'm in love with myself
And I'm in love with myself
There's nothing else but me
There's nothing else but me
And an empty road
And a cool cool wind and it makes feel so good
Just like I knew it would
Just like I knew it would
I get so wild on my motorbike
I get so wild on my motorbike
I'm breaking loose on this moonlit night
I'm breaking loose on this moonlit night
I cut the road like a sharpened knife
I cut the road like a sharpened knife
And I'm in love with myself
And I'm in love with myself
There's nothing else but me
There's nothing else but me
And an empty road
And a cool cool wind makes me feel so good
I'm moving too fast, * I'm moving too fast *
I'm moving so fast that I can't control the wheels
I'm moving so fast, * I'm moving so fast *
Yeah, I'm going for a tree, yeah it's going for me, yeah
My head is dripping into my leather boots.

You Trip Me Up

Sometimes
I walk sideways
To avoid you
When I've annoyed you
Love's like
The mighty ocean
When it's frozen
That is your heart
What would I be
If I could free
I couldn't even walk
You trip me up
But you break me in two
And you throw me away
And you spit on my head
You trip me up
And you break me in two
And you throw me away
Knock me on my back
I'll send a heart attack
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip
I'd like to trip
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up
