    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

    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

    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 sewers belch me up

    The heavens spit me out

    From ethers tragic I am born again

    And now I’m with you now

    Inside your world of wow

    To move in desires made of deadly pretends

    Till the end times begin

    Is it bright where you are

    Have the people changed

    Does it make you happy you’re so strange

    And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame

    You can watch the world devoured in it’s pain

    Strange

    Climb my ribcage to

    The replays run for you

    Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash

    For I am crystal chrome

    I am shatter dome

    I am kremlin king of angels avenged

    To destroy the end

    Is it bright where you are

    Have the people changed

    Does it make you happy you’re so strange

    And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame

    You can watch the world devoured in it’s pain

    The zeppelins rain upon us

    The guns of love disastrous

    A shadow lies amongst you

    To defy the future cast

    Is it bright where you are

    Have the people changed

    Does it make you happy you’re so strange

    And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame

    You can watch the world devoured in it’s pain

    Strange

    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

    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
