      Lyrics

      Disarm you with a smile
      And cut you like you want me to
      Cut that little child
      Inside of me and such a part of you
      Ooh, the years burn
      I used to be a little boy
      So old in my shoes
      And what I choose is my choice
      What’s a boy supposed to do?
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      My love
      I send this smile over to you
      Disarm you with a smile
      And leave you like they left me here
      To wither in denial
      The bitterness of one who’s left alone
      Ooh, the years burn
      Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
      I used to be a little boy
      So old in my shoes
      And what I choose is my voice
      What’s a boy supposed to do?
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      My love
      I send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you

      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

      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

      Lyrics

      I took my love and took it down
      I climbed a mountain, I turned around
      And I saw my reflection in a snow covered hill
      Till the landslide brought it down
      Mirror in the sky, what is love
      Can the child within my heart rise above
      Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
      Can I handle the seasons of my life
      Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
      Built my life around you
      Time makes you bolder
      Even children get older
      And I’m getting older too
      Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
      Built my life around you
      Time makes you bolder
      Even children get older
      And I’m getting older too
      I’m getting older too
      I took my love and took it down
      I climbed a mountain, I turned around
      And if you see my reflection in a snow covered hill
      The landslide brought it down
      The landslide brought it down

      Lyrics

      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 am one as you are three

      Try to find messiah in your trinity

      Your city to burn

      Your city to burn

      Try to look for something

      In your city to burn, you'll burn

      Am I as I seem?

      I'm down

      Down, so down

      Time is right for a guiding light

      Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life

      Your city to burn

      Your city to burn

      Try to look for something

      In your city to burn, you'll burn

      See you, don't you just want to

      See you, I am one

      See you, don't you just want to

      See you

      See you, don't you just want to

      See you, I am one

      See you, don't you just want to

      See you, I am one

      Lyrics

      I know

      We’re just like old friends

      We just can’t pretend

      That lovers make amends

      We are

      Reasons so unreal

      We can’t help but feel

      That something has been lost

      But please

      You know you’re just like me

      Next time

      I promise we’ll be perfect

      Perfect

      Perfect

      Strangers down the line

      Lovers out of time

      Memories unwind

      So far I still know who you are

      But now I wonder who I was

      Angel

      You know it’s not the end

      We’ll always be good friends

      But the letters have been sent on

      So please

      You always were so free

      You’ll see

      I promise we’ll be perfect

      Perfect

      Perfect

      Strangers when we meet

      Strangers on the street

      Lovers while we sleep

      Perfect

      You know this has to be

      We always were so free

      We promised that we’d be

      Perfect

      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

      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

      Additional Info: From Jesse Miller's Studio Recordings History (2000): "An alternate acoustic version of Mayonaise (erroneously dubbed a demo) was included on the 1991-1998 promo; this is actually an alternate mix of the released studio version, featuring the slightly phased acoustic click track (which can be heard on the album version notably at 3:35) and a tambourine."

      Lyrics

      Fool enough to almost be it

      Cool enough to not quite see it

      Doomed

      Pick your pockets full of sorrow

      And run away with me tomorrow

      June

      We'll try and ease the pain

      But somehow we'll feel the same

      Well, no one knows

      Where our secrets go

      I send a heart to all my dearies

      When your life is so, so dreary

      Dream

      I'm rumored to the straight and narrow

      While the harlots of my perils

      Scream

      And I fail

      But when I can, I will

      Try to understand

      That when I can, I will

      Mother weep the years I'm missing

      All our time can't be given

      Back

      Shut my mouth and strike the demons

      That cursed you and your reasons

      Out of hand and out of season

      Out of love and out of feeling

      So bad

      When I can, I will

      Words defy the plans

      When I can, I will

      Fool enough to almost be it

      And cool enough to not quite see it

      And old enough to always feel this

      Always old, I'll always feel this

      No more promise no more sorrow

      No longer will I follow

      Can anybody hear me

      I just want to be me

      When I can, I will

      Try to understand

      That when I can, I will

      I spin off and lose my head

      Throwing stray a spark instead

      Gather strength down in my heel

      And dig it in the world I peel

      Way down deep within my heart

      Lies a soul that’s torn apart

      Tell me, tell me what your after

      I just want to get there faster

      I don’t live – I inhale

      I don’t give – I unveil

      Don’t want to live in your misery

      I don’t live – I inhale

      Sprinkle all my kisses on your head

      Stars full of wishes fill our beds

      She said, “I’m dead”

      All this pain smothers me

      Like a bomb that you can’t see

      Tell me, tell me what your after

      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

      No matter where you are

      I can still hear you when you drown

      You've traveled very far

      Just to see you I'll come around

      When I'm down

      All of those yesterdays

      Coming around

      No matter where you are

      I can still hear you when you dream (on some versions, "scream")

      You traveled very far

      You traveled far, like a star

      And you are

      All of those yesterdays

      Coming around

      Is it something someone said?

      Was it something someone said?

      Yesterday the sky was you

      And I still feel the same

      Nothing left for me to do

      And I still feel the same

      I wish, I wish I could fly

      I wish, I wish I could lie

      I will, I will try

      I will, I will

      Goodbye

      Lyrics

      Speak to me in a language I can hear
      Humour me before I have to go
      Deep in thought I forgive everyone
      As the cluttered streets greet me once again
      I know I can’t be late, supper’s waiting on the table
      Tomorrow’s just an excuse away
      So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
      The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
      At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
      Steeple guide me to my heart and home
      The sun is out and up and down again
      I know I’ll make it, love can last forever
      Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
      And you can make it last, forever you
      You can make it last, forever you
      And for a moment I lose myself
      Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
      I’ve journeyed here and there and back again
      But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
      Mysteries not ready to reveal
      Sympathies I’m ready to return
      I’ll make the effort, love can last forever
      Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
      Tomorrow’s just an excuse
      And you can make it last, forever you
      You can make it last, forever you

      Lyrics

      Planned a show
      Trees and balloons
      Ice cream snow
      See you in June
      Could have known
      I would reveal
      Should have known
      I would conceal your way
      She knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows
      Colors show
      After the moon
      I should go
      See you in June
      Your way
      And she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows
      Open your eyes to these mustered lines
      Open your eyes to these mustered lines
      The way
      And she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
