    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 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

    I just want to get there faster

    I don't live - I inhale

    I don't give - I unveil

    I don't live - I inhale

    I don't live
