- 2 . Chewing Gum
Lyrics
Chewing gum
Wonderin’ where I’ve hid and what I’ve done
Wonderin’ where I’ll go and where I’ll run
Hide myself away from everyone
Chewing gum
Doesn’t bother you that you’re not the one
Keeps you up at night in a fever dream
To count the sinful pieces of your mystique
It’s yours to keep
Chewing gum
Innocence lost in electric smiles
Perfectly cast in desperate clothes
Lovingly hung from city lights
With all their might
And all I need is you by my side
By my side
By my side
Chewing gum
Wonderin’ I’ve hid and what I’ve done
Wonderin’ where I’ll go and where I’ll run
Hide myself away from everyone
Chewing gum
Got myself a piece of
Chewing gum
Got myself a piece of
Chewing gum
Got myself a piece of
Chewing gum
Got myself a piece of chewing gum - 3 . The Tale Of Dusty And Pistol Pete
Lyrics
Dusty screams
Through doors and imaginary floors
“Why can’t you miss me?”
Pistol pete
Removes the final breaths from her unkind
And she is shaken
What does this mean
In love or in peace?
With you lying next to me
So faithless serene
And she calls to him
Let the waste
Cross the ancient trails to you
Far out
Beneath the sorrow clouds
Let them taste
The bitter lost mistake of you
Let them cry out
Through your rusted scars
Alone he roams
Inside the ordinary catacombs
Of her waiting
With raven hands
She steals and staggers towards her man
Still scorned by his demon
Because he’s undone
Become the language of
Disaster and love
Vengeance and dust
And she calls to him
Let the waste
Cross the ancient trails to you
Far out
Beneath the sorrow clouds
Let them taste
The bitter lost mistake of you
Let them cry out
Through your rusted scars
Dusty screams
Through doors and imaginary scenes
Of hurt and teardrop
As he holds her down
In the cold lonely winds
Together again
Her inside him
And she calls to him
Let the waste
Cross the ancient trails to you
Far out
Beneath the sorrow clouds
Let them taste
The bitter lost mistake of you
Let them cry out
Through your rusted scars
- 4 . Annie-Dog
Lyrics
Amphetamine Annie-Dog
Has her leash and a face
Her velvet spleen, her shackle spine
Her diamond curse, it comes with mine
A vessel she for violent I
Confession arms awake
Mine mine, your were always mine
Possessed by my taste
And below the angel dog
Combs her hair and sings her psalms
The bombs go off, she doesn't notice
It all goes wrong, she sets things tragic
She is venus, she is mars
She's electric, and the struggle of
Upon her face we leave no trace
But in her stomach mercury aged
She holds the blood, she carves the knives
She digs the wires in our babies
Amphetamine Annie-Dog
Pulls her trash and her stories
From place to place and bed to bed
Gives of herself and the magnet head
Another floor, another ceiling
Counting stars with double meanings
Is it wrong to be swallowed whole
To disappear in her
To give to her the priceless peace
Of giving up control
We tumble out into the streets
And annie-dog, she drags her leash
Pretty face, ugly mouth
Bitter bred and so released
And by the no and in the yes
Annie goes if you couldn't guess
A simple man, a sycophant
Her elephant with the laughing cough
She wants clean sheets and fresh flowers
Her dental shots and the Hong Kong glue
Amphetamine Annie-Dog
Has her leash and a face
- 5 . Once In A While
Lyrics
The horses run once in a while for you
The shades will drop once in a while for you
Destiny will hide the sense of your touch
Once in a while
Once in a while for you
Once in a while for you
Once in a while for you
The soldiers will fall once in a while for you
The shades will crawl once in a while for you
You’ll take the waltz
I will take the refrain
Once in a while
More than a while it’s you
Once in a while it’s you
Once in a while
You’ll make it all your own
You’ll make it so I won’t
Feel so alone
And you’ll try to care once in a while for me
And I will be there once in a while
More than a while for you
Once in a while for you
Once in a while for you
- 6 . Do You Close Your Eyes
Lyrics
Do you close your eyes when you kiss me
Do you close your eyes if you miss me
And do you wonder why
I sent for you tonight
Do you wonder why
Golden bells are ringing in the year
Through all the tears you cried for me
I always knew you could
So hide inside your looking-glass surprise
The lies become the truth you hide
The lies become the lusty night
Do you close your eyes when you kiss me
Do you close your eyes if you miss me
And do you wonder why
I sent for you tonight
Do you wonder why
Do you dream your dreams when you’re with me
And do you see the things that i see
And is it true enough
Is it true of love
Secrets cloud your ears and fill your nights
With compromise and shadows torn
You make your way to him
The moon becomes your silent confidant
The one you want will stand alone
The one you love is never known
Do you close your eyes when you kiss me
Do you close your eyes if you miss me
And do you wonder why
I sent for you tonight
Do you wonder why - 7 . My Mistake
Lyrics
We’re so young
And we’re so dumb
With our registered calculations
And if you dare
And should I care
I could destroy you
And take you there
As the spitfires begin their descent
And tragic romantic ascent
My love is one hundred percent
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Mistake, it was all my mistake
So suck me through
Your saliva screws
I can’t help myself if I don’t know
The flaws in you
That were equal to
The mysteries I’ve almost knew
And I’ve said this so many, many times
Can’t help you out of your mind
So please don’t judge me unkind
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
And if you pretend
Please try to offend everyone
We share the sea monkey disease
So give me my greatful little piece
And do what you want as you please
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
Come back to me, my mistake
- 8 . I Need You Around
Lyrics
The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
And all the kids have left their tears and gone home
Sweet 17, sour 29
And I can’t explain myself
What I’d hoped to find
You were all so kind
When I was near
And if you’re still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To love and hold you
Don’t say I hadn’t told you so
Maybe you need me around
I had no luck
I had no shame
I had no cause, just 17 days of rain
And you in my eyes
Just one more song to slay this earth
And I can’t explain myself just what it’s worth
It was all I had, but not all I’d need
And I can’t escape the fact that i still bleed
And if you’re still feeling down
And if this seems way too loud
Then maybe you need me around
I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I’ve done my time
I had myself
Had my band
I had my love
Had no hand in watching it all fall apart
And if you’re still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To lift and scold you
To send you crashing all right now
Maybe you need me around - 9 . Batman Take 1
