      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

      Welcome to nowhere fast

      Nothing here ever lasts

      Nothing but memories

      Of what never was

      We’re nowhere, we’re nowhere, we’re nowhere to be

      Nowhere, we’re nowhere, we’re nowhere to see

      Living makes me sick

      So sick I wish I’d die

      Down in the belly of the beast

      I can’t lie

      You’re nowhere, you’re nowhere, you’re nowhere to be

      Nowhere, you’re nowhere, you’re nowhere to see

      There’s nothing left to do

      There’s nothing left to feel

      Doesn’t matter what you want, so

      To make yourself feel better

      You make it so you’ll never

      Give in to your forevers

      And live for always

      And forever, forever, you’re forever to be

      Forever, forever, you’re forever to me

      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

      I’m never coming back
      I’m never giving in
      I’ll never be the shine in your spit
      I disconnect the act
      I disconnect the dots
      I disconnect the me in me
      And you’re mistaken, it’s you that’s faking
      Living and breathing and dying too
      This message is for anyone who dares to hear a fool
      You can’t bring me back, you can’t bring me back
      Cause I give it all back to you
      Thru sacred alleys, the living wrecks
      Wreak their havoc upon this world
      The disenchanted, the romantics,
      The body and face and soul of you is gone down that deep black hole
      Destroy the mind-destroy the body-but you cannot destroy the heart
      And you, you make me so I need to disconnect
      And you make it so real
      I don’t need you love to disconnect
      To runaround kids in get-go cars
      With Vaseline afterbirths and neon coughs
      Galaxies full of nobodies
      Giving us the farewell runarounds
      I took a virgin Mary ax to his sweet baby Jane,
      Lost my innocence to a no good girl,
      Scratch my face with anvil hands,
      And coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth
      And I give it all back to you
      No way, I don’t need it, I don’t need your love to disconnect
      And you make it, so real, I don’t need your love to disconnect
      No way to disconnect
      And you make it so real
      I don’t need your love to disconnect
      No way to disconnect

      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

      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

      Wrap me up in always, and drag me in with maybes

      Your innocence is treasure, your innocence is death

      Your innocence is all I have

      Breathing underwater, and living under glass

      And if you spin your love around

      The secrets of your dreams

      You may find your love is gone

      And is not quite what it seemed

      To appear to disappear

      Beneath all your darkest fears

      I believe in never, I believe in all the way

      But belief is not to notice, believe is just some faith

      And faith can’t help you to escape

      And with this ring I wed thee true

      And with this ring I wed thee now

      And with this ring I play so dead

      But no one’s asking for the truth, so let me tell you

      If you spin your love around

      The secrets of your dreams

      You may find your love is gone

      And is not quite what it seemed

      To appear to disappear

      Beneath all your darkest fears

      To the revelations of fresh faced youth

      No one will come to save you

      So speak your peace in the murmurs drawn

      But youth is wasted on the young

      Your strength is my weakness, your weakness my hate

      My love for you just can’t explain

      Why we’re forever frozen, forever beautiful,

      Forever lost inside ourselves

      The night has come to hold us young

      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

      Lyrics

      We only come out at night, the days are much too bright

      We only come out at night

      And once again, you’ll pretend to know me well, my friends

      And once again, I’ll pretend to know the way

      Thru the empty space

      Thru the secret places of the heart

      We only come out at night, the days are much too bright

      We only come out at night

      I walk alone, I walk alone to find the way home

      I’m on my own, I’m on my own to see the ways

      That I can’t help the days, you will make it home o.k

      I know you can, and you can

      We only come out at night, the days are much too bright

      We only come out at night

      And once again, you’ll pretend to know that

      There’s an end, that there’s an end to this begin

      It will help you sleep at night

      It will make it seem that right is always right

      Alright?

      We only come out at night

      Lyrics

      Goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tight
      May it hold you through the winter of a long night
      And keep you from the loneliness of yourself
      Heart strung is your heart frayed and empty
      Cause it’s hard luck, when no one understands your love
      It’s unsung, and I say
      Goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
      Goodnight, always, to all that’s in your heart
      Goodnight, may your dreams be so happy and your
      Head lite with the wishes of a sandman and a
      Night light, be careful not to let the bedbugs
      Sleep tight nestled in your covers
      The sun shines but I don’t
      A silver rain will wash away
      And you can tell, it’s just as well
      And you can tell, it’s just as well
      Goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
      Goodnight, always to all that’s pure that’s in your heart

      God knows I’m helpless to speak
      On my own behalf
      God is as helpless as me
      Caught in the negatives
      We all just do as we please

      For my transgressions
      It’s what you want
      To know no consequences
      It’s what you need
      To fucking bleed
      It’s all too much
      God knows I’m restless and weak
      Full of piss and vinegar
      God knows we sow what we reap
      In the dirt of grandeur
      When the darkness comes to me
      And it fixes its gaze on me
      God knows I’m helpless
      It’s what you want

      It’s what you need
      To fucking bleed
      It’s all to much
      God knows I’m helpless
      You break your back
      For what you can’t have
      You can’t turn back

      I’m devoted

      Lyrics

      The useless drag of another day
      The endless drags of a death rock boy
      Mascara sure and lipstick lost
      Glitter burned by restless thoughts
      Of being forgotten
      And in your sad machines
      You’ll forever stay
      Desperate and displeased-with whoever you are
      And you’re a star
      Somewhere-he pulls his hair down-over a frowning smile
      A hidden diamond you cannot find
      A secret star that cannot shine over to you
      May the king of gloom, be forever doomed
      And in your sad machines
      You’ll forever stay
      Burning up in speed
      Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
      The useless drags, the empty days
      The lonely towers of long mistakes
      To forgotten faces and faded loves
      Sitting still was never enough
      And if you’re giving in, then you’re giving up
      Cause in your sad machines
      You’ll forever stay
      Burning up in speed
      Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines

      Lyrics

      Ten times removed
      I forget about where it all began
      Bastard son of a bastard son of
      A wild eyed child of the sun
      And right as rain, I’m not the same but
      I feel the same, I feel nothing
      Holding back the fool again
      Holding back the fool pretends
      I forget to forget nothing is important
      Holding back the fool again
      I sensed my loss
      Before I even learned to talk
      And I remember my birthdays
      Empty party afternoons won’t come back
      Holding back the fool again
      Holding back the fool pretends
      I forget to forget nothing is important
      Holding back the fool again
      I forget to forget me
      I forget to forget you see
      Nothing is important to me
      I knew my loss
      Before I even learned to speak
      And all along, I knew it was wrong
      But I played along, with my birthday song
      Holding back the fool again
      Holding back the fool pretends
      I forget to forget nothing is important
      Holding back the fool again
