    Once upon a time
    I was of the mind
    To lay your burden down

    Leave you where you stood
    You believed I could
    You'd seen it done before

    I could read your thoughts
    And tell you what you saw
    And never say a word
    The mind is restless and difficult to restrain, but it is subdued by practice

    Suck a hippo's cock
    Suck a honey badger's ass
    Suck a llama's balls
    Suck a labrador retriever's dick

    Suck a caribou's ass
    Suck a caribou's ass
    Suck a caribou's ass
    Suck a caribou's ass

    Because someone’s gotta sing the stars
    And someone’s gotta sing the rain
    And someone’s gotta sing the blood
    And someone’s gotta sing the pain

    Since the time we saw the sign,
    Destruction of your feeble mind,
    Centuries have come and gone, but nothing's changed
    Hopes and dreams have disappeared;
    Destruction of your kind is near,
    Trapped inside your suffering eternal flame

    Smoking is cool
    Smoking is sweet
    Let's hit a fag
    Just you and me

    Smoking is cool
    Smoking is sick
    Don't knock it
    Until you try it

    Smoking feels good
    Smoking feels nice
    Smoking is man's
    Number one vice

    Smoking is cool
    Smoking is based
    If you don't smoke
    I'll shoot you in the face

    Now I need a cigarette
    But I need to cash my check
    God, I need a cigarette
    Now my girlfriend just left

    God, I need a cigarette
    Someone call the president
    God, I need a cigarette
    Where is my money?

    Tempt us, lead us to the edge, watch the wise turn into fools
    The greatest lie ever been told is the one closest to truth
    I've been working for the Devil too long

    A tunnel with no end
    Here it comes again
    A slowly creeping feeling
    My old familiar friend

    A voice without a name
    Ringing in my head
    The more that I believe it
    I feel like giving in

    Don't hold back
    Just keep it rollin'
    Down that track
    Even when you
    Fear you can't
    You need someone to lean on
    When you're going round the bend

    When I got there, front room was full
    The little boys staring down at formal shoes
    Expectations burning their faces red
    As they waited for dinner
    At a party in your honor
    In protest at your beck and call

    July 4th and a faint-hearted kiss
    Two months as seals
    Each night a silver moon
    In the morning the sun came up
    And you were there
    With biscuits and sweet breath
    And knowing and desire still

    Don't go, what's so great about there?
    It's all damn tunnels, newspapers and skin
    And meanwhile, you know, I'll be here
    And you there
    With crackheads and assassins and burn victims
    And millionaires' sons

    Hey you, out there in the cold
    Getting lonely, getting old
    Can you feel me?
    Hey you, standing in the aisles
    With itchy feet and fading smiles
    Can you feel me?
    Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
    Don't give in without a fight

    Hey you out there on your own
    Sitting naked by the phone
    Would you touch me?
    Hey you with you ear against the wall
    Waiting for someone to call out
    Would you touch me?
    Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
    Open your heart, I'm coming home

    And I'm trying to understand myself and pinpoint who I am
    When I finally get it figured out
    I've changed the whole damn plan

    We can fly away
    And we can talk heart to heart
    Let's get to paradise with invisible wings
    Someday our dreams will come true
    So we can find the way
    Yes we can stay together now
    Because there is hope for everyone
    The secret garden's waiting for you

    Get ready for your wit, get ready for your want

    Do you want, do you wanna know
    How deep how quick your cuts go
    Everything poured on black ice,
    Squeezing citrus fruit in my eyes.
    How do we how do we mix friends?
    How do we get the pegs
    Into the holes that they wanna go?
    How do we share everything we've ever known ever known is now?

    We keep ourselves moving
    In opposite directions
    Go, go
    In the opposite direction

    Get ready for your wit, get ready for your want

    I tried so hard and got so far
    But in the end, it doesn't even matter
    I had to fall to lose it all

    Strike me down
    With your beating wings
    And remind me what it's like to feel things
    I will not cower
    I want for no shield
    I am open like a wound

    I will sing this out
    Till the sun beats down
    And we rise to meet the sky
    On that day I swear
    I will see you there
    I will heal these wounded eyes
    These wounded eyes

    And the tears come streaming down your face
    When you lose something, you can't replace
    When you love someone, but it goes to waste
    Could it be worse?

    And high up above or down below
    When you're too in love to let it go
    But if you never try, you'll never know
    Just what you're worth

    Belief is a beautiful armor
    But makes for the heaviest sword
    Like punching underwater
    You never can hit who you're trying for

    Some need the exhibition
    And some have to know they tried
    It's the chemical weapon
    For the war that's raging on inside

    Oh everyone believes
    From emptiness to everything
    Oh everyone believes
    And no one's going quietly

    Might be one of my very favorite songs
    We passed upon the stair
    We spoke of was and when
    Although I wasn't there
    He said I was his friend
    Which came as a surprise
    I spoke into his eyes
    I thought you died alone
    A long long time ago

    Oh no, not me
    We never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world

    I laughed and shook hand
    And made my way back home
    I searched for form and land
    For years and years I roamed
    I gazed a gazeless stare
    We walked a million hills
    I must have died alone
    A long, long time ago

    Who knows?
    Not me
    I never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world

    One baby to another says
    I'm lucky to have met you
    I don't care what you think
    Unless it is about me
    It is now my duty to completely drain you
    I travel through a tube
    And end up in your infection

    Chew your meat for you
    Pass it back and forth
    In a passionate kiss
    From my mouth to yours
    I like you

    With eyes so dilated
    I've become your pupil
    You've taught me everything
    Without a poison apple
    The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
    Indebted and so grateful
    Vacuum out the fluids

    Chew your meat for you
    Pass it back and forth
    In a passionate kiss
    From my mouth to yours
    I like you
    You
    You
    You
    You

    You're my vitamins

    So busy showing me where I'm wrong
    You forgot to switch your feelings on, oh oh oh oh
    So so superior, are you not?
    You'd love a little bit but you forgot

    We're a couple of misfits
    We're a couple of misfits
    What's the matter with misfits
    That's where we fit in!
    We're not daffy and dilly
    Don't go 'round willy nilly
    Seems to us kinda silly
    That we don't fit in.

    I was born on a battlefield. Raised on a battlefield.

    Gunfire, sirens and screams... they were my lullabies...

    Hunted like dogs, day after day... driven from our ragged shelters...

    That... was my life. Each morning, I'd wake up... and find a few more of my family or friends dead beside me.

    I'd stare at the morning sun... and pray to make it through the day. The governments of the world turned a blind eye to our misery.

    But then... he appeared. My hero... Saladin... he took me away from all that...

    me and an SLE


    Now I know we said things, did things
    That we didn't mean and we fall back into the same patterns
    Same routine, but your temper's just as bad, as mine is
    You're the same as me, when it comes to love, you're just as blinded

    Red lights, stop signs
    I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
    Can't drive past the places we used to go to
    'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
    Sidewalks we crossed
    I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing
    Over all the noise
    God, I'm so blue, know we're through
    But I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

    ...Sailors fighting in the dance hall
    Oh man!
    Look at those cavemen go
    It's the freakiest show
    Take a look at the lawman
    Beating up the wrong guy
    Oh man!
    Wonder if he'll ever know
    He's in the best-selling show
    Is there life on Mars?

    Mother do you think she's good enough?
    For me?
    Mother do you think she's dangerous

    To me?
    Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
    Ooh, ah
    Mother will she break my heart?

    Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry
    Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
    Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
    Mama's gonna wait up until you get in
    Mama will always find out where you've been
    Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean

    Ooh baby, ooh baby
    Ooh baby, you'll always be baby to me

    Mother, did it need to be so high?

    I'm wondering are you my best friend
    Feel's like a river's rushing through my mind
    I wanna ask you if this is all just in my head
    My heart is pounding tonight
    I wonder

    If you
    Are too good to be true?
    And would it be alright if I
    Pulled you closer

    I met her in a club down in old Soho
    Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca cola
    C-O-L-A, Cola

    She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
    I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
    L-O-L-A, Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola

    Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
    But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
    Oh my Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola

    Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
    Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
    Oh my Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola

    Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
    Under electric candlelight
    She picked me up and sat me on her knee
    And said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"

    Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
    But when I looked in her eyes, well I almost fell for my Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola

    Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola

    I pushed her away
    I walked to the door
    I fell to the floor
    I got down on my knees
    Then I looked at her and she at me

    Well, that's the way that I want it to stay
    And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola

    Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
    It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola

    Well, I left home just a week before
    And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
    But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
    And said "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man"

    Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man
    But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
    And so is Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola

    Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola
    La-la-la-la Lola
    The mind is restless and difficult to restrain, but it is subdued by practice

    When it comes to you, there's no crime
    Let's take both of our souls and intertwine
    When it comes to you, don't be blind
    Watch me speak from my heart when it comes to you

    Turnin' up emotional faders
    Keep repeating self-hating phrases
    I have heard enough of these voices
    Almost like I have no choice
    This is biological stasis
    My mood's shifting to manic places
    Wish I laughed and kept the good friendships
    Watch life, here I go again
    The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.

    The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".

    Astrolabe, sailing by starlight
    Move the waters
    Set the moon
    Come now, wind
    Take me to the planet's edge

    When I try to fall back, I fall back to you (yeah)
    When I talk to my friends, I talk about you (yeah)
    When the jealousy's strong, all I see is you, is you, is you, oh you (ooh)
    Yeah, ooh (yeah)
    No, I haven't moved on, but trust me, I've tried (yeah)
    If I give you a call, don't hang up the line (yeah)
    When the jealousy's strong, all I see is you, is you, is you, oh you

    When you look up at the cosmos
    Do you ever wonder if there's really even an end?
    It might go on forever, like my love for you
    An amount that's hard to even comprehend
    I won't waste my time with wonder, in apprehension, or living life in fear
    But how can I miss you so much when you're right here?

    I want to guard your dreams and visions
    Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
    And strap your hands across my engines
    Together we could break this trap
    We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
    Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
    `Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
    But I gotta know how it feels
    I want to know if love is wild, babe
    I want to know if love is real
    Oh, can you show me?
