      Lyrics

      Out on the street for a living
      Picture’s only begun
      Got you under their thumb
      Hit it
      Out on the streets for a living
      Picture’s only begun
      Your day is sorrow and madness
      Got you under their thumb
      Whoo, black diamond
      Whoo, black diamond
      Darkness will fall on the city
      It seems to follow you too
      And though you don’t ask for pity
      There’s nothin’ that you can do, no, no
      Whoo, black diamond
      Whoo, black diamond
      Out on the streets for a living
      Picture’s only begun
      Your day is sorrow and madness
      Got you under their thumb
      Whoo, black diamond, yeah
      Whoo, black diamond

      Lyrics

      My reflection, dirty mirror

      There’s no connection to myself

      I’m your lover, I’m your zero

      I’m the face in your dreams of glass

      So save your prayers

      For when we’re really gonna need ’em

      Throw out your cares and fly

      Wanna go for a ride?

      She’s the one for me

      She’s all I really need

      Cause she’s the one for me

      Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness

      And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me

      Intoxicated with the madness, I’m in love with my sadness

      Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms

      The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth

      I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship

      I never let on that I was down

      You blame yourself, for what you can’t ignore

      You blame yourself for wanting more

      She’s the one for me

      She’s all I really need

      She’s the one for me

      She’s my one and only

      Lyrics

      The world is a vampire, sent to drain
      Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
      And what do I get, for my pain
      Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
      Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
      All my cool and cold-like old job
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
      But can you fake it, for just one more show
      And what do you want, I want to change
      And what have you got
      When you feel the same
      Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
      All my cool and cold-like old job
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Tell me I’m the only one
      Tell me there’s no other one
      Jesus was an only son
      Tell me I’m the chosen one
      Jesus was an only son for you
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      And I still believe that I cannot be saved

      Lyrics

      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t live for tomorrow,
      Tomorrow’s much too long
      I’ll burn my eyes out
      Before I get out
      I wanted more
      Than life could ever grant me
      Bored by the chore
      Of saving face
      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t wait for tomorrow
      I might not have that long
      I’ll tear my heart out
      Before I get out
      Pink ribbon scars
      That never forget
      I tried so hard
      To cleanse these regrets
      My angel wings
      Were bruised and restrained
      My belly stings
      Today is
      Today is
      Today is
      The greatest day
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you
      Today is the greatest
      Today is the greatest day
      Today is the greatest day
      That I have ever really known

"I met this girl in Dallas when we were on tour with the chili peppa's and that was where I got the idea for the name for the song because when she said her name I thought wow, what a great title for a song. 2 1/4 years later I run into this same girl at a party and I say did you hear that song we recorded using your name, Starla? And she said, no my name is Darla but hey Starla, Darla whatever it doesn't matter, so there you go. Never trust a girl who ends up with well I can't say."

      Lyrics

      I’m in here

      Please take me home

      Starla dear, I’m all alone

      When you can’t decide what’s on your mind, it’s clear

      I’m near

      Starla dear

      To disappear takes some more time

      Starla dear, you’re on my mind

      Soon, soon I’ll be leaving

      Soon, soon I’ll be leaving

      I hear all you’re saying

      I hear all you’re failing

      I’m in here

      Please take me home

      Starla dear, I’m all alone

      When you can’t decide what’s on your mind, it’s clear

      I’m here

      Starla dear

      Serve yourself

      No one else can do for you like you

      No one else fails like me

      In my eyes I burn alive

      Fly like a bird

      No more words just you and I

      Lyrics

      Rise! Love is here
      Oh don’t make me wonder
      Life’s never clear where choice is a gift
      To use and abuse
      To build on proof
      Oh don’t make me suffer
      Birds find the wind and wing
      Rest in the shells I’ve designed
      Run through the fields I’ve denied
      And stroll upon the years I’m alive
      There’s a sun that shines in
      There’s a world that stares out at me
      And all I refuse to please
      Breathe! Love is air
      Oh don’t make me suffer
      To dash debonair where chaste is the wish
      To bust with pain
      A heart goes blank
      Oh don’t make me wonder
      To ask on behalf of you
      Of you, where are you?
      Where are you in you?
      There’s a sun that shines in
      There’s a world that stares out at me
      And all I refuse to please
      There’s a sun that shines in
      There’s a world that stares out at me
      And all I refuse
      And all I’d ever use in me
      There’s a sun that shines in me
      There’s a sun that shines
      There’s a sun that shines in me

      Lyrics

      Time is never time at all

      You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth

      And our lives are forever changed

      We will never be the same

      The more you change the less you feel

      Believe, believe in me, believe

      That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain

      We’re not the same, we’re different tonight

      Tonight, so bright

      Tonight

      And you know you’re never sure

      But you’re sure you could be right

      If you held yourself up to the light

      And the embers never fade in your city by the lake

      The place where you were born

      Believe, believe in me, believe

      In the resolute urgency of now

      And if you believe there’s not a tonight

      Tonight, so bright

      Tonight

      We’ll crucify the insincere tonight

      We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight

      We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight

      The indescribable moments of your life tonight

      The impossible is possible tonight

      Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

      Lyrics

      It’s you that I adore
      You will always be my whore
      You’ll be a mother to my child
      And a child to my heart
      We must never be apart
      We must never be apart
      Lovely girl you’re the beauty in my world
      Without you there aren’t reasons left to find
      And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
      You’ll be perfect just like me
      You’ll be a lover in my bed
      And a gun to my head
      We must never be apart
      We must never be apart
      Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
      Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left to die
      Drinking mercury to the mystery
      Of all that you should ever leave behind
      In time
      In you I see dirty
      In you I count stars
      In you I feel so pretty
      In you I taste god
      In you I feel so hungry
      In you I crash cars
      We must never be apart
      Drinking mercury to the mystery
      Of all that you should ever seek to find
      Lovely girl you’re the murder in my world
      Dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left behind
      In time
      We must never be apart
      And you’ll always be my whore
      Cause you’re the one that I adore
      And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
      You’ll be perfect just like me
      In you I feel so dirty
      In you I crash cars
      In you I feel so pretty
      In you I taste god
      We must never be apart

      Lyrics

      Shakedown 1979
      Cool kids never have the time
      On a live wire
      Right up off the street
      You and I should meet
      Junebug skipping like a stone
      With the headlights pointed at the dawn
      We were sure we’d never see an end to it all
      And I don’t even care
      To shake these zipper blues
      And we don’t know
      Just where our bones will rest
      To dust I guess
      Forgotten and absorbed
      Into the earth below
      Double cross the vacant and the bored
      They’re not sure just what we have in store
      Morphine city slippin’ dues
      Down to see
      That we don’t even care
      As restless as we are
      We feel the pull
      In the land of a thousand guilts
      And poured cement
      Lamented and assured
      To the lights and towns below
      Faster than the speed of sound
      Faster than we thought we’d go
      Beneath the sound of hope
      Justine never knew the rules
      Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
      No apologies ever need be made
      I know you better than you fake it
      To see that we don’t even care
      To shake these zipper blues
      And we don’t know
      Just where our bones will rest
      To dust I guess
      Forgotten and absorbed
      Into the earth below
      The street heats the urgency of now (written: sound)
      As you can see there’s no one around

      Freak out
      And give in
      Doesn’t matter what you believe in
      Stay cool
      And be somebody’s fool this year
      ‘Cause they know
      Who is righteous, What is bold
      So I’m told
      Who wants honey
      As long as there’s some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Hipsters unite
      Come align for the big fight to rock for you
      But beware
      All those angels with their wings glued on
      ‘Cause deep down
      We are frightened and we’re scared
      If you don’t stare
      Who wants honey
      As long as there’s some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Tell me all of your secrets
      Cannot help but believe this is true
      Tell me all of your secrets
      I know, I know, I know,
      Should have listened when I was told
      Who wants honey
      As long as there is some money
      Who wants that honey?
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out
      Let me out

      Lyrics

      I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyone

      To lie here and die among the sorrows

      Adrift among the days

      For everything I ever said

      And everything I’ve ever done is gone and dead

      As all things must surely have to end

      And great loves will one day have to part

      I know that I am meant for this world

      My life has been extraordinary

      Blessed and cursed and won

      Time heals but I’m forever broken

      By and by the way…

      Have you ever heard the words

      I’m singing in these song?

      It’s for the girl I’ve loved all along

      Can a taste of love be so wrong

      As all things must surely have to end

      And great loves will one day have to part

      I know that I am meant for this world

      And in my mind as I was floating

      Far above the clouds

      Some children laughed I’d fall for certain

      For thinking that I’d last forever

      But I knew exactly where I was

      And I knew the meaning of it all

      And I knew the the distance to the sun

      And I knew the echo that is love

      And I knew the secrets in your spires

      And I knew the emptiness of youth

      And I knew the solitude of heart

      And I knew the murmurs of the soul

      And the world is drawn into your hands

      And the world is etched upon your heart

      And the world so hard to understand

      Is world you can’t live without

      And I knew the silence of the world

      Lyrics

      Ground Control to Major Tom
      Ground Control to Major Tom
      Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
      Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
      Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)
      Check ignition and may God’s love be with you (two, one, liftoff)
      This is Ground Control to Major Tom
      You’ve really made the grade
      And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
      Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare
      “This is Major Tom to Ground Control
      I’m stepping through the door
      And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
      And the stars look very different today
      For here
      Am I sitting in a tin can
      Far above the world
      Planet Earth is blue
      And there’s nothing I can do
      Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles
      I’m feeling very still
      And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
      Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
      Ground Control to Major Tom
      Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
      Can you hear me, Major Tom?
      Can you hear me, Major Tom?
      Can you hear me, Major Tom?
      Can you “Here am I floating ’round my tin can
      Far above the moon
      Planet Earth is blue
      And there’s nothing I can do”

      Lyrics

      She didn’t wanna be, she didn’t wanna know

      She couldn’t run away cause she was crazy

      She gave it all away, she saw her baby break

      And in the air it hung that she was dull razors

      And I said, I wanna fill you up, I wanna break you, I wanna give you up

      From one another, another one should come to one another

      No one should come between us

      Still I was lonely, and she was by my side, my one and only

      Knows that she could never hide

      I couldn’t feel her, and it was just a game,

      Cause I was lonely and she was crazy

      Rat-tat-tat, ka boom boom, now take that, and just a bit of this

      Cause I’m a watcher, and I’m a doer of none

      Come to save you, cause you’re all mine

      I hurt where I can’t feel, I feel where I can’t hurt

      I know where I can’t know, I bleed for me and mine

      Ka-boom, a rat-tat-tat, and some good ole bliss

      Cause I’m a sister, and I’m a motherfuck

      I am made of shamrocks, I am made of stern stuff

      I am never enough, I am the forgotten child

      And I said I wanna fill you up, I wanna break you, I wanna give you up

      From one another, no one should ever come

      In between us, between us and our love

      Mary had a little lamb, her face was white as snow

      And everywhere that mary went I was sure to go

      Now mary’s got a problem, and mary’s not a stupid girl

      Mary’s got some deep shit, and mary does not forget

      And this is how mary’s garden grows, and this is how mary has her ghosts

      And into the eyes of the jackyl I say ka-boom

      Now we begin descent, to where we’ve never been

      There is no going back, this wasn’t meant to last

      This is a hell on earth, we are meant to serve

      And she will never learn

      Bye bye, baby goodbye
