I would die for you, I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine
I will cry for you, I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear
I will pray for you, I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you
See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm...
Thirteen times you with my karma
And thirteen times I f***ed up your dogma
You taught me to hate
You taught me to crawl
You raised your hand as you raised the bottle
You knock me down but it made me stronger
The harder you hit
The harder you fall
And this one is for my mother
What will I do without her
Don't look back
Don't even bother
And this one is for the father
Who loves his little daught...
Hanging by threads of palest silver
I could have stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
Nothing could ever seem to touch me
I lose what I love most
Did you know I was lost until you found me?
A stroke of luck or a gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling dow...
Centre on the wide horizon
Focus on the galaxy
Sweep away your expectations
And recognize your enemies
I hear you talking to yourself
You're stripping off for someone else
You've got to learn to love yourself
It's all that counts, there's little else
You're always looking for affection
And all its possibilities
Your senses searching for attention
In urgent need of gravity
I think, you think yo...
You're an alien s** fiend
You're an alien s** fiend
You're an alien s** fiend

You're an alien s** fiend
You're an alien s** fiend
You're an alien s** fiend
You're an alien s** fiend
And you go

Once when I was a girl
I could have given you a ride for your money
Oh, but how times have changed
Although you do look cute in those red cowboy boots
No, you don't mess around
But you're just a kid, you don't know what it takes
No one can stop you now
Anymore than they can tell the wind not to blow
Who's going to run you now?
With the riders in the dirt back on astelin turf
I can't tell you w...
When everything is going wrong and you can't see the point of going on
Nothing in life is set in stone there's nothing that can't be turned around
Nobody wants to be alone, everybody wants to love someone
Out of the tree go pick a plum, why can't we all just get along?
Boys, boys in the girl's room
Girls, girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys, boys in the parlor

It was April the tenth
I remember it well
It was so cold that year
It was colder than hell
Things haven't been good
For you, for a while
Because I'd been on tour
I hadn't heard
And you've dropped in
With the letter you wrote
And I read it aloud
To prove that I could
And we were both laughing
Cause we know how you are
We never thought
Your quitting was good
We thought that we knew you
And I gue...
Garbage - April Tenth Lyrics
It was April the tenth
I remember it well
It was so cold that year
It was colder than hell
Things haven't been good
For you, for a while
Because I'd been on tour
I hadn't heard
And you've dropped in
With the letter you wrote
And I read it aloud

Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray will forgive you
Nothing's what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone
If flesh could crawl, my skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God, as heaven is wide
As far from God, as angels can fly
If holy is as hol...
I've got a fever, come check it and see
There's something burning and rolling in me
We may not last but we'll have fun till it ends
C'mon, baby be my bad boyfriend
I wanna hear you call out my name
I wanna see you burn up in flames
Keep you on ice, so I can show all my friends

Alright, okay
It's guys like you baby
That gives the a boys a bad name
Keep your hands where I can see them
Get the man out of me
Be my fancy boy
Come to my room
Glaring at my eyes
Turn around that door
Woop woop
Alright, okay
You have a world of your own
Ba ba da da da do
Such a ba ba da da da do

If i was beautiful like you
all the things I would do
Those not so blessed
would be crying out murder
And I'd just laugh
And get away with it too
Like you do
If i was beautiful like you
I would never be at fault
I would walk in the rain
between the raindrops
Bringing traffic to a halt
But that can never be
that will never, never be
Coz i'm not beautiful like you
I'm beautiful like me
If i was ...
You're just like a dog
With your begging bone
You're always chasing psychos
Down those rabbit holes
You like them the best
'Cause they are dangerous
And they get off on you
And your subservience
CHORUS
What can I do?
Can't make a monkey out of you
I can't keep you on a leash
Can't lock you in your room
I can't make you perfectly
Suspicious of the world
Can't teach you lessons
That you never wa...
Avalanche is sullen and too thin
She starves herself to rid herself of sin
And the kick is so divine
When she sees bones beneath her skin
And she says, "Hey, baby, can you bleed like me?
C'mon, baby, can you bleed like me?
Chris is all dressed up and acting coy
Painted like a brand new Christmas toy
He's trying to figure out if he's a girl or he's a boy
He says, "Hey, baby, can you bleed like ...
The boys wanna fight
The boys wanna fight
The boys wanna fight
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
They know best how they can mess with us
Nursing an opinion's getting dangerous
And in a world where goods not good enough
Let's get loaded and kick up a fuss
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight

In a modern culture, my friend you must be careful
They've a million ways to kill you
In this dangerous world there's an art to growing old
Taking chances, magic happens
One mistake's all it takes and your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard but you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl

So you finally got what you wanted
You've achieved your aim by making the walking lame
And when you just can't get any higher
You use your senses to suss out this week's climber
And the small fame that you've acquired
Has brought you into cult status
But to me you're still a collector
There's tarts and whores but you're much more
You're a different kind because you want their minds

I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the rope
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
Can't find it in the Bible
Can't find it on TV
Can't find it in diamonds
There's something inside me
That just went around it
Can't find it in music
Can't find it in my soul
Can't find it in chocolate
Oh babe I can't hide it
I can't even fight it and yeah
I just don't care anymore...
I can't seem to make you mine
Kissing all around all the time
Flying around like a bee
Hurtin' everything you see
I try everything I know, oh
To make you wanna love me so, oh
The only things you do, oh
Is try to put the hurt on me, oh
Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath every step I take
I'm more in love with you
Oh I can't go on like this

Candy says
I've come to hate my body
All that it requires in this world
Candy says
I'd like to know completely
what others so discretely talk about
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me
Candy says
I hate the quiet places
that cause the smallest taste of what will be

She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She'd just turned twenty-one
She didn't care to hang around
So when the shit came down
Why she was nowhere to be found
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing
That you had ever seen
You're such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms
With your cherry lips and golden curls...
She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She'd just turned twenty-one
She didn't care to hang around
So when the shit came down
Why she was nowhere to be found?
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing
That you had ever seen
You're such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms
With your cherry lips and golden curl...
She gave you everything she had

You're confident
So confident
You're full of it
You're full of shit
But you see...
You're confident
So confident
You're full of it
You're full of shit
But you see...
The world is full of girls like you
The world is full of girls like you
The world is full of girls like you
The world is full of sluts like you
So you see...
We'll believe it
When we see it
I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine
I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true

You tell me you don't love me over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crashing to dust
I just let it fade away
I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by
So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsesse...
Handcuffed in the present tense
Variations on your violence
Mind games and pretty girls
A cracked song in the universe
I think it's time that I showed you what I'm made of
I'm afraid there is much to be afraid of
I kill the fire so I don't get burned
Kill the fire and you needn't get burned
Deadwood, if you care to listen
Looks the same but there's something missing
It wears me out
Stripped ba...
I wish I had not woke up today
Everyone mistakes the things you say
Take the simple truth and twist it all around
Make it sound important, make it seem profound
Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless
Everyone I know has gone away
Died or left or just forgot to stay
Sometimes took for granted, sometimes turned away
Sometimes didn't say what I me...

It's funny how, even now you still support me
After all of the things that I've done
You're so good to me, waiting patiently
And isn't it sad that you still have to ask if I care?
I never said I was perfect
But I can take you away
Walk on shells tonight
Can't do right tonight
And you can't say a word
'Cause I leap down your throat
So uptight am I
I never said I was perfect
But I can drive you ...
Car, car, car, car, car, car
Let's get behind the wheel, we'll go driving
To the mountains, to the rooftops
We can take it nice and slow, I'll be driving
To the icebergs, to the edges
Car, get in the car
Car, get in the car
Heading to the clouds, past the buildings
By the harbor, through the storm
Tear across the page, by the marker
Leave the light on, by the boy's side
Car, get in the car
Car...
I never claimed to be your savior
I said I had a dirty mouth
Stop analyzing my behavior
If you're too dumb to work it out
I've got to keep myself together
You know I hate to disappoint
A masochistic lamb to slaughter
Maybe you miss the point
I'm feeling small
Climbing the walls
I don't let it show
Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish you could let it go
You'll never come sucking your...
Searching for fun, where do you go
Got your leather boots on
What do you know
And they're playing garbage on the radio
Enter the dark, you wanna run
Enter the night where nobody knows you
Where the boys are and everybody's high
If enough is never enough and
You're down at heart
If the world is BEATING you down then
Come with us
If enough is never enough and
You're down at heart
If the world is...
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy evermore
Everything I had to give
Gave out long before
Fix me now, I wish you would
Bring me back to life
Kiss me blind, somebody should
From hollow into light
Crashing silent, broken down
Falling in to night
Who ...
Well I might just consider this
If you don't let me down
If you can keep me happy
Well you can stick around
Now I don't care for sycofants
They drive me 'round the bend
But if you can't control yourself
Then let's just keep good friends
Let's make out in the back of your car
Let's go driving and toodling around
We could always get lost in a crowd
Are you ready to get deep down?
Wooh ooh, wooh ...
Well I might just consider this
If you don't let me down
If you can keep me happy
Well you can stick around
Now I don't care for sycofants
They drive me round the bend
But if you can't control yourself
Then let's just keep good friends
Let's make out in the back of your car
Let's go driving and toodling around
We could always get lost in a crowd
Are you ready to get deep down?
Now there's some...
Girl, don't come
If it's all been said and done
Don't turn around
Let them kick back off the ground
Let them kick back off the ground
Girl, don't come
He's got nothing left to lose
But that's alright
That could well change overnight
You want to take that pretty head
Lay down in someone else's bed
Girl, don't come
Girl, don't come
Girl, don't come
Girl, don't come
If you want my sympathy, my de...
I'm stressed but you're freestyle
I'm overworked but I'm unders**ed
I must be made of concrete
I sign my name across your chest
Give out the same old answers
I trot them out for the relatives
Company tried and tested
I use the ones that I love the best
Like an animal you're moving over me
Like an animal you're moving over me
When did I get perverted
I can't remember your name
I'm growing intro...
Don't say no to me daddy
Don't
Don't say no to me daddy
Don't say no to me daddy

Is this a test?
Do you think I'm blessed?
I'm such a mess
Do you exist?
My happiness
Is this a test?
Please let me rest
Happiness

I'm such a mess Repeat 3x

In my happy home, I barely breathe
In my lovers arms, I find relief
And there's a sky that's changing and a bird that sings
I never once in my wayward life was heading to run out
In my lovers arms, I wait for morning
I beg my God to speak and tear me apart
I'd lay down my body, I'd lay down my arms
I never once in my sweet short life meant anybody harm
In my happy home, I read the signs
In my ...
You don't even know my name
You've got me on a ball and chain,
When you gonna notice me
God, you're such a little tease
When you gonna finally land it on my lips
When you gonna give me just a little sip
You're a honeybee, honeybee
Honeybee, you're killing me
You don't even know my name
I guess I ought to be ashamed
Going on the way I do
Watching you in everything

Hanging out on Second Avenue
Eating chicken vindaloo
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna have something to do
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, well, alright
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Wait, now
Wait, now
Hanging out all by myself
I don't wanna be with anybody else
I just wanna be with you

You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it
Bend me, break me anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me, breaking down is easy
All I want is you
I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill

I'm only happy when it's complicated

I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains

So, what kind of music do you listen to?
I'm really into techno, but that's about it. Repeat 8x

Everything you think
You know baby, is wrong
And everything you think
You had baby, is gone
Certain things turn ugly
When you think too hard
And nagging little thoughts
Change into things you can't turn off
Everything you think
You know baby, is wrong
It's all over but the crying
Fade to black, I'm sick of trying
Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying
Do you really think I...
I'm so sorry, you had to kick my ass
You said I ruined your life, I didn't mean to do that
I had to untangle where we was entwined
It was strangling me, were you breathing so fine?
The jam I was in when things weren't working out
Led me to the brunt of your swinging bout
I'm so sorry, I regret everything
But what can I do, to have you take back that swing?
I'm so sorry, a scuffle ensued
But th...
One, two, three, four
You've got my number
You know what I need
And I go crazy
Whenever I bleed
Won't you come over?
I swear I'll be nice
My girlfriend told me that
You've left your wife
I learn to bribe
I learn to say please
Oh, wont you
Lick the pavement for me?
I learn to bribe
I learn to say please
I like you best
When you're on your knees
I know you're lonely
'Cause you're just like me

I don't need an education
I learnt all I need from you
They got me on some medication
My point of balance was askew
Keeps my temperature from rising
My blood is pumping through my veins
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else
I wear myself out in the morning
You're asleep when I get home
Please don't call me self defending
You know it cuts...
I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish I was half as good
As you think I am
Now that we know for sure
They're telling lies when they say
?No one gets hurt?
And therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe
Anything that you hear
They say, ?The world is round?
Wish I was as big as you
You'd have to tell the truth
I'd be nothing you could hurt
Nothing you could use
Now th...
I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean
I am lost
So I am cruel
But I'd be love and sweetness
If I had you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I am weak
But I am strong
I can use my tears to
Bring you home
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you

My lover's charms
Are in a box
Beneath my bed
And piece by piece
I'll cherish them
Until the end
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven
They burn my hands
Scar my face
And blind my eyes
I'll steal your breath
And throw away

You'll never be free
You'll never be free
This is the place where dreams begin
I wait right here for you, my friend
I shiver underneath your skin
A brazen thief who walks right in
You can beat yourself up to the beat of a drum
You can drink til you drop, til you can't stand up
And it tastes so sweet, it tastes so sweet
You'll never forgive me, you'll never be free
You might as well kill me, yo...

Well, I set myself up big time this time
With the notion that you try your best then
Everyone wins
But nothin' ever goes that smoothly
And it won?t end like a movie
Where the good guy always wins
Until you figure out
A way that you can live without
Stories with happy ends
Everyone, I know is tryin' to get by
Fightin' all the half-true lies
Nobody can win
They fill you up with expectations
Inno...
Watching the days slip by so fast
Knowing our fate has long been cast
Working our fingers to the bone
'Cause nobody loves you
When you're gone, gone, gone, gone
Coughing up feeling just for you
To find something real to hold on to
But there is a hole inside my heart
Where all of my love comes pouring out
You know you'll always be my man
But grab yourself sweetness where you can
'Cause sooner o...
I bit my tongue and stood in line
With not much to believe in
I bought into what I was sold
And ended up with nothing
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea
You thought that I would never see
What was meant for you was meant for me
I was distracted at the time
Forget about yours, now what about mine?
This is ...
I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
And why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down...pour your misery down on me pour your misery down...pour your misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains

I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me

Kaboom
Get it right, get it right now
Get it right, do it good
Get it right now
Oh let's bomb that factory
That makes all the wannabes
Let's burst all the bubbles
That brainwash the masses
As far as I can tell it doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's something worth fighting for
The color of an eye, the glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms, the smile he always shoots at...
You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it
Bend me, break me anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me, breaking down is easy
All I want is you
I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I shou...
I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say, you'll help me out
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
No need to fight
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
We'll be alright
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it, make the beats go harder
Pu-pu-push it, make the beats go harder
I'm sorry that I hurt you

Hey boy, take a look at me
Let me dirty up your mind
I'll strip away your hard veneer
And see what I can find
The queerest of the queer the strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool the lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile a fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
This is what he pays me for
I'll show you how it's done

Don't care what they have to say
No point in listening to them anyway
Why do you have to give them what they want?
They love to watch you as you fall apart
Stick it to them like a phoenix rise
There's nothing grander than the big surprise
They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones
About time, take them right between the eyes
Seek to destroy 'cause they're scared of you
That's why they tr...
Love can be so strange
Don't it amaze you?
Every time you give yourself away
It comes back to haunt you
Love's an elusive charm and it can be painful
To understand this crazy world
But you're not gonna crack
No, you're never gonna crack
Run, my baby, run, my baby, run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run, my baby, run, my...
From the crow ii: city of angels soundtrack
What's your lie?
Warm glance, a fake smile.
Eyes meet, your mind runs wild.
This game you play I like in a way.
You expect to grab a child grab a child
You think I'm innocent not wild.
Take me let's see how much I'm tamed.
Everybody listen while I think of all I know,
How to live for sure - body wall into my precious soul.

No evolution, sometimes it depresses me
The same old same, oh, we keep repeating history
The institution curses curiosity
It's our conviction, s** is not the enemy
A revolution is the solution
A revolution is the solution
I don't feel guilty, no matter what they're telling me
I won't feel dirty and buy into their misery
I won't be shamed 'cause I believe that love is free
It fuels the heart an...
S** Never Goes Out of Fashion
She's the kind of girl who likes to do it stand up
From the back or anyway you want it, love
From the top if you keep it going all night
You're as good as the next for a fun time
Lookie here like a rabbit on the dancefloor
Party girl like you comin' in the back door
quot;C'mon boy, give it good, give an encorequot;
Never leave a hungry sister begging one more
You ...
Welcome, we love you, we hate you
We love you, we want you, we need you
We wish we were like you
They say you're a saint
You're a whore, you're a sinner
That he had you, made you
He can't live without you
Would you confess if we asked
That you nurture the urge
To declare that it's time
To settle down with a man of your own
You want a baby, a family
A piece of security
Shut your mouth, try not ...
If I am silent then I am not real
If I speak up then no one will hear
If I wear a mask there?s somewhere to hide
Silence is golden, I have been broken
Safe in my own skin so nobody wins
If I raise my voice will someone get hurt
And if I can?t feel then I won?t get touched
If no truth is spoken then no lies can hide
Silence is golden, I have been broken
Safe in my own skin so nobody wins

In the middle of the night
Head on my pillow looking like a little ghost
Seems like all of the things that you gave me mother
Have all gone up in smoke
In the middle of the night
You don't know what I'm thinking
But still the stars just sparkle and shine
Seems like all the time our boat was slowly sinking
You didn't even seem to mind
Now all I want to do is sleep
Now all I want to do is sleep
...
I got you crawling up a mountain
Hanging 'round my neck
I got you twisted 'round my finger
Crawling 'round my legs
The emptiness, the craziness
Satisfy this hungriness
Darling, how would it feel?
If we sleep together
Will you like me better?
If we come together
We'll go down forever
If we sleep together
Will I like you better?
If we come together
Prove it now or never
Make me a pretty person

Baby thinks he's dying
Lost inside his bedroom
Mommy won't stop crying
And daddy's always working
There's no going back
There's no going back
There's no going back
On this one
Baby wakes up with the sun
While everyone is sleeping
He thinks he's going crazy
But this could be the big one
There's no going back
There's no going back
There's no going back
Sleeping with ghosts

You work too hard
So when you come home to me
You are tired and
You don't wanna talk about it
You envy my drive and how I am motivated
We'll go down to the park and
Check out the carnival
For a while and
Try to forget all about it
I'm out of control and you don't appreciate it
Believe it, I need it
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it
You say I've changed

I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do

Do you have an opinion? A mind of your own
I thought you were special, I thought you should know

Burn down all your idols
Destroy your idols
Create a scene
There goes all your reason
It's helter-skelter
It's not a dream
Come down from the altar
Remove your blindfold
What do you see?
Nothing left to do here
There's nothing new here
It's all the same
You're going down, down, down
How low can you go?
You're going down, down, down

Built a king on compliments
Charisma and advertisements
Still they see him shimmer ephemeral
It ain't supernatural
No, it ain't supernatural
Supernatural maybe
It was an out of body experience
Yes I flew around the hospital walls
Intravenous demerol
And it weren't supernatural
No, it weren't supernatural
Supernatural maybe
A sudden smell of hay
A certain view
Sparked off a case of the deja vu

Come down to my house
Stick a stone in your mouth
You can always pull out
If you like it too much
Make a whole new religion
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I'll feed your obsessions
Now there'll be nothing but this thing
That you'll never doubt
A hit is hard to resist
And I never have missed
I can take you out
With just a flick of my wrist
Make a whole new religion

What is my day going to look like?
What will my tomorrow bring me?
If I had X-ray eyes, I could see inside
I wouldn't have to predict the future
I wish that you would do some talking
How else am I to know what you're thinking?
If only people would say what it really was
What it really was, what it really was that they wanted
Tell me where it hurts and to hell with everybody else
All I care abo...
I'll tell you somethin', I am a wolf
But I like to wear sheep's clothin'
I am a bonfire, I am a vampire
I'm waitin' for my moment
You come on like a drug, I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict comin' at you for a little more
And there's so much at stake, I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before

She's not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels about herself
She takes a little time
In making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight against the tide
Lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
Can't bear to face the truth
So sick, he cannot move
And when it hurts he...
I know how to hurt, I know how to heal
I know what to show and what to conceal
I know when to talk and I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love
People like us know how to survive
There's no point in living if you can't feel alive

Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"
Tell him what we said about "Paint It black"
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you.
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of.
And would you be an outlaw for my love
If it...
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
You walked into the room, the sun hit my eyes
The force you struck me down, caught me by surprise
You sprung the mojo and it worked like a charm
I felt invincible with you in my arms
I must confess it can be good to feel pain
Like break...

Come on Shirl...
You got a thing that thing gets me on fire
Come on Shirl...
Gets me on fire...
Be easy on me, I'm fragile
I'm easily broken
Be careful with me, I'm a fighter
And you're cheating you're a liar
I don't need this anymore
This is not what I came for
I won't stand for this at all
I won't see you anymore
Be easy on me, don't trip my wire
I'm freaking, I'm on fire
Be easy on me, trip my wire
I'm freaking, I'm on fire
I don't need this any more
This is not what I came for

This is nothing new to me
It takes more than what you've got to frighten me
I'm not scared of you
There's nothing you can do or take from me
Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
That no one's untouchable
You're bound to lose the game
There's no one else to blame
You play so safe and you're not riskin' enough
You are doomed to be undone
I swear I'll be the one to bring you down

Use me, I'm beautiful
Take me, I'm yours
Hurt me, it feels like medicine
And all I deserve
People have funny things
Swimming inside
They swing like pendulums
They turn like the tides
Darling, I don't need money
I could be happy
With someone to love
Oh, what a crazy time
I've been a fool
On a wild ride to oblivion
I lost my mind
But with you it's understood
You make me feel strong
Your arms loo...
I can't use what I can't abuse
And I can't stop when it comes to you
You burned me out but I'm back at your door
Like Joan of Arc coming back for more
I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died
I came to knock you up, I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to rip you up, I came to shut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your sou...
Cut my tongue out, I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours, golden showers
On a cruise to freak you out
We could fly a helicopter
Nothin' left to talk about
Entertain you, celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you
When I grow up I'll be stable
When I grow up I'll turn the tables
Tryin' hard to fit among you
Floatin' out to Wonderland
Unprotected, God I'm pregnant

I'm no barbie doll
I'm not your baby girl
I've done ugly things and I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines
I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed
So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word?
Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me, it's driving me crazy
Why do you love me...
It's been a crazy time for us
Of pushing all our limits
Snappin' necks and breakin' balls
And you'd have done the same
You were bakin' biscuits
While I went bent the law
Sacrificing something
As you counted all my flaws
Why don't you come over?
So why don't you come over?
So why don't you come over?
So why don't you come over?
S why don't you come over?
So why don't you come over?
So why don't...
I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
Acted like a lunatic for years
Lord knows I try to be good, I'd keep my promises if only I could
You count your blessings that I can't rely on you
And I tried and I tried
And I tried and I tried
Clutch your pictures of the Pope
Pray to God for love and hope
Bring the Virgin home for luck
Bolt the door down, keep it shut
I've done things I never thought I'd d...
Childhood living, it's easy to do
The things you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
I've watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

You look so fine, I want to break your heart
And give you mine, you're taking me over
It's so insane, you've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name and I'm falling over
I'm not like all the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
That you used to know

I would die for you, I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine
I will cry for you, I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear
I will pray for you, I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you
See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm...
When everything is going wrong and you can't see the point of going on
Nothing in life is set in stone there's nothing that can't be turned around
Nobody wants to be alone, everybody wants to love someone
Out of the tree go pick a plum, why can't we all just get along?
Boys, boys in the girl's room
Girls, girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys, boys in the parlor

Certain things turn ugly
When you think too hard
And nagging little thoughts
Change into things you can't turn off

It's all over but the crying
Fade to black, I'm sick of trying
Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying

I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you
Do you have an opinion? A mind of your own
I thought you were special, I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience, I couldn't care less

You pretend you're high
You pretend you're bored
You pretend you're anything
Just to be adored
And what you need
Is what you get
Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything
That you can't break
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
What drives you on

What is my day going to look like?
What will my tomorrow bring me?
If I had X-ray eyes, I could see inside
I wouldn't have to predict the future
I wish that you would do some talking
How else am I to know what you're thinking?
If only people would say what it really was
What it really was, what it really was that they wanted
Tell me where it hurts and to hell with everybody else
All I care abo...
I know how to hurt, I know how to heal
I know what to show and what to conceal
I know when to talk and I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love
People like us know how to survive
There's no point in living if you can't feel alive

I can't use what I can't abuse
And I can't stop when it comes to you
You burned me out but I'm back at your door
Like Joan of Arc coming back for more
I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died
I came to knock you up, I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to rip you up, I came to shut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your sou...
Cut my tongue out, I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours, golden showers
On a cruise to freak you out
We could fly a helicopter
Nothin' left to talk about
Entertain you, celebrate you

I'm no barbie doll
I'm not your baby girl
I've done ugly things and I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines
I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed
So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word?
Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me, it's driving me crazy
Why do you love me...
You look so fine, I want to break your heart
And give you mine, you're taking me over
It's so insane, you've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name and I'm falling over
I'm not like all the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
That you used to know

When everything is going wrong and you can't see the point of going on
Nothing in life is set in stone there's nothing that can't be turned around
Nobody wants to be alone, everybody wants to love someone
Out of the tree go pick a plum, why can't we all just get along?
Boys, boys in the girl's room
Girls, girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys, boys in the parlor
Gir...
In a modern culture, my friend you must be careful
They've a million ways to kill you
In this dangerous world there's an art to growing old
Taking chances, magic happens
One mistake's all it takes and your life has come undone
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag, I know it's hard but you're tearing her apart
Walk away 'cause you're breaking up the girl
I am afraid that the...
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the rope
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
Can't find it in the Bible
Can't find it on TV
Can't find it in diamonds
There's something inside me
That just went around it
Can't find it in music
Can't find it in my soul
Can't find it in chocolate
Oh babe I can't hide it
I can't even fight it and yeah
I just don't care anymore...
She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She'd just turned twenty-one
She didn't care to hang around
So when the shit came down
Why she was nowhere to be found?
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing
That you had ever seen
You're such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms
With your cherry lips and golden curl...
You tell me you don't love me over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crashing to dust
I just let it fade away
I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by
So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsesse...
It's funny how, even now you still support me
After all of the things that I've done
You're so good to me, waiting patiently
And isn't it sad that you still have to ask if I care?
I never said I was perfect
But I can take you away
Walk on shells tonight
Can't do right tonight
And you can't say a word
'Cause I leap down your throat
So uptight am I
I never said I was perfect
But I can drive you ...
Watching the days slip by so fast
Knowing our fate has long been cast
Working our fingers to the bone
'Cause nobody loves you
When you're gone, gone, gone, gone
Coughing up feeling just for you
To find something real to hold on to
But there is a hole inside my heart
Where all of my love comes pouring out
You know you'll always be my man
But grab yourself sweetness where you can
'Cause sooner o...
Kaboom
Get it right, get it right now
Get it right, do it good
Get it right now
Oh let's bomb that factory
That makes all the wannabes
Let's burst all the bubbles
That brainwash the masses
As far as I can tell it doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's something worth fighting for
The color of an eye, the glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms, the smile he always shoots at...
Welcome, we love you, we hate you
We love you, we want you, we need you
We wish we were like you
They say you're a saint
You're a whore, you're a sinner
That he had you, made you
He can't live without you
Would you confess if we asked
That you nurture the urge
To declare that it's time
To settle down with a man of your own
You want a baby, a family
A piece of security
Shut your mouth, try not ...
If I am silent then I am not real
If I speak up then no one will hear
If I wear a mask there?s somewhere to hide
Silence is golden, I have been broken
Safe in my own skin so nobody wins
If I raise my voice will someone get hurt
And if I can?t feel then I won?t get touched
If no truth is spoken then no lies can hide
Silence is golden, I have been broken
Safe in my own skin so nobody wins
Silenc...
Baby thinks he's dying
Lost inside his bedroom
Mommy won't stop crying
And daddy's always working
There's no going back
There's no going back
There's no going back
On this one
Baby wakes up with the sun
While everyone is sleeping
He thinks he's going crazy
But this could be the big one
There's no going back
There's no going back
There's no going back
Sleeping with ghosts
It's such a lonely exp...
I know how to hurt, I know how to heal
I know what to show and what to conceal
I know when to talk and I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love
People like us know how to survive
There's no point in living if you can't feel alive
...
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
I will love you till the day that I die
You walked into the room, the sun hit my eyes
The force you struck me down, caught me by surprise
You sprung the mojo and it worked like a charm
I felt invincible with you in my arms
I must confess it can be good to feel pain
Like break...
This is nothing new to me
It takes more than what you've got to frighten me
I'm not scared of you
There's nothing you can do or take from me
Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
That no one's untouchable
You're bound to lose the game
There's no one else to blame
You play so safe and you're not riskin' enough
You are doomed to be undone
I swear I'll be the one to bring you down

 Bleed Like Me |
I've got a fever, come check it and see
There's something burning and rolling in me
We may not last but we'll have fun till it ends
C'mon, baby be my bad boyfriend
I wanna hear you call out my name
I wanna see you burn up in flames
Keep you on ice, so I can show all my friends
C'mon, baby be my bad boyfriend
So ripe so sweet, come suck it and see
But watch out daddy I sting like a bee
I know s...
Avalanche is sullen and too thin
She starves herself to rid herself of sin
And the kick is so divine
When she sees bones beneath her skin
And she says, "Hey, baby, can you bleed like me?
C'mon, baby, can you bleed like me?
Chris is all dressed up and acting coy
Painted like a brand new Christmas toy
He's trying to figure out if he's a girl or he's a boy
He says, "Hey, baby, can you bleed like ...
The boys wanna fight
The boys wanna fight
The boys wanna fight
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
They know best how they can mess with us
Nursing an opinion's getting dangerous
And in a world where goods not good enough
Let's get loaded and kick up a fuss
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy to dance all night
The boys wanna fight
But the girls are happy t...
In my happy home, I barely breathe
In my lovers arms, I find relief
And there's a sky that's changing and a bird that sings
I never once in my wayward life was heading to run out
In my lovers arms, I wait for morning
I beg my God to speak and tear me apart
I'd lay down my body, I'd lay down my arms
I never once in my sweet short life meant anybody harm
In my happy home, I read the signs
In my ...
Everything you think
You know baby, is wrong
And everything you think
You had baby, is gone
Certain things turn ugly
When you think too hard
And nagging little thoughts
Change into things you can't turn off
Everything you think
You know baby, is wrong
It's all over but the crying
Fade to black, I'm sick of trying
Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying
Do you really think I...
I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish I was half as good
As you think I am
Now that we know for sure
They're telling lies when they say
?No one gets hurt?
And therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe
Anything that you hear
They say, ?The world is round?
Wish I was as big as you
You'd have to tell the truth
I'd be nothing you could hurt
Nothing you could use
Now th...
Don't care what they have to say
No point in listening to them anyway
Why do you have to give them what they want?
They love to watch you as you fall apart
Stick it to them like a phoenix rise
There's nothing grander than the big surprise
They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones
About time, take them right between the eyes
Seek to destroy 'cause they're scared of you
That's why they tr...
Love can be so strange
Don't it amaze you?
Every time you give yourself away
It comes back to haunt you
Love's an elusive charm and it can be painful
To understand this crazy world
But you're not gonna crack
No, you're never gonna crack
Run, my baby, run, my baby, run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run, my baby, run, my...
No evolution, sometimes it depresses me
The same old same, oh, we keep repeating history
The institution curses curiosity
It's our conviction, s** is not the enemy
A revolution is the solution
A revolution is the solution
I don't feel guilty, no matter what they're telling me
I won't feel dirty and buy into their misery
I won't be shamed 'cause I believe that love is free
It fuels the heart an...
I'm no barbie doll
I'm not your baby girl
I've done ugly things and I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines
I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed
So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word?
Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me, it's driving me crazy
Why do you love me...
It's been a crazy time for us
Of pushing all our limits
Snappin' necks and breakin' balls
And you'd have done the same
You were bakin' biscuits
While I went bent the law
Sacrificing something
As you counted all my flaws
Why don't you come over?
So why don't you come over?
So why don't you come over?
So why don't you come over?
S why don't you come over?
So why don't you come over?
So why don't...

 Garbage |
Hanging by threads of palest silver
I could have stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
Nothing could ever seem to touch me
I lose what I love most
Did you know I was lost until you found me?
A stroke of luck or a gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling dow...
Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray will forgive you
Nothing's what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone
If flesh could crawl, my skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God, as heaven is wide
As far from God, as angels can fly
If holy is as hol...
I wish I had not woke up today
Everyone mistakes the things you say
Take the simple truth and twist it all around
Make it sound important, make it seem profound
Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless
Everyone I know has gone away
Died or left or just forgot to stay
Sometimes took for granted, sometimes turned away
Sometimes didn't say what I me...
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy evermore
Everything I had to give
Gave out long before
Fix me now, I wish you would
Bring me back to life
Kiss me blind, somebody should
From hollow into light
Crashing silent, broken down
Falling in to night
Who ...
I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean
I am lost
So I am cruel
But I'd be love and sweetness
If I had you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I am weak
But I am strong
I can use my tears to
Bring you home
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you
I am milk
I am red hot kitch...
My lover's charms are in a box
Beneath my bed
And piece by piece I'll cherish them
Until the end
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven
They burn my hands, scar my face
And blind my eyes
I steal your breath and throw away
What I despise
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me...
I bit my tongue and stood in line
With not much to believe in
I bought into what I was sold
And ended up with nothing
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea
You thought that I would never see
What was meant for you was meant for me
I was distracted at the time
Forget about yours, now what about mine?
This is ...
I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things a...
Hey boy, take a look at me
Let me dirty up your mind
I'll strip away your hard veneer
And see what I can find
The queerest of the queer the strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool the lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile a fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
This is what he pays me for
I'll show you how it's done
You lea...
You pretend you're high
You pretend you're bored
You pretend you're anything
Just to be adored
And what you need
Is what you get
Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything
That you can't break
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
What drives you on
What drives you on
Can drive you mad
Can drive you mad
A million lies to sell ...
Come down to my house
Stick a stone in your mouth
You can always pull out
If you like it too much
Make a whole new religion
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I'll feed your obsessions
Now there'll be nothing but this thing
That you'll never doubt
A hit is hard to resist
And I never have missed
I can take you out
With just a flick of my wrist
Make a whole new religion
A falling st...
I can't use what I can't abuse
And I can't stop when it comes to you
You burned me out but I'm back at your door
Like Joan of Arc coming back for more
I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died
I came to knock you up, I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to rip you up, I came to shut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your sou...

 Version 2.0 |
I never claimed to be your savior
I said I had a dirty mouth
Stop analyzing my behavior
If you're too dumb to work it out
I've got to keep myself together
You know I hate to disappoint
A masochistic lamb to slaughter
Maybe you miss the point
I'm feeling small
Climbing the walls
I don't let it show
Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish you could let it go
You'll never come sucking your...
I'm stressed but you're freestyle
I'm overworked but I'm unders**ed
I must be made of concrete
I sign my name across your chest
Give out the same old answers
I trot them out for the relatives
Company tried and tested
I use the ones that I love the best
Like an animal you're moving over me
Like an animal you're moving over me
When did I get perverted
I can't remember your name
I'm growing intro...
You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it
Bend me, break me anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me, breaking down is easy
All I want is you
I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I shou...
I don't need an education
I learnt all I need from you
They got me on some medication
My point of balance was askew
Keeps my temperature from rising
My blood is pumping through my veins
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else
I wear myself out in the morning
You're asleep when I get home
Please don't call me self defending
You know it cuts...
I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say, you'll help me out
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
No need to fight
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
We'll be alright
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it, make the beats go harder
Pu-pu-push it, make the beats go harder
I'm sorry that I hurt you
Please don't...
I got you crawling up a mountain
Hanging 'round my neck
I got you twisted 'round my finger
Crawling 'round my legs
The emptiness, the craziness
Satisfy this hungriness
Darling, how would it feel?
If we sleep together
Will you like me better?
If we come together
We'll go down forever
If we sleep together
Will I like you better?
If we come together
Prove it now or never
Make me a pretty person
M...
I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you
Do you have an opinion? A mind of your own
I thought you were special, I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience, I couldn't care less
I
I
Do you hav...
I'll tell you somethin', I am a wolf
But I like to wear sheep's clothin'
I am a bonfire, I am a vampire
I'm waitin' for my moment
You come on like a drug, I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict comin' at you for a little more
And there's so much at stake, I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before
I'll tell you somethin', I am a demon
Some say my biggest weakness
I hav...
She's not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels about herself
She takes a little time
In making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight against the tide
Lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
Can't bear to face the truth
So sick, he cannot move
And when it hurts he...
Cut my tongue out, I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours, golden showers
On a cruise to freak you out
We could fly a helicopter
Nothin' left to talk about
Entertain you, celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you
When I grow up I'll be stable
When I grow up I'll turn the tables
Tryin' hard to fit among you
Floatin' out to Wonderland
Unprotected, God I'm pregnant
Damn the conseq...
I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
Acted like a lunatic for years
Lord knows I try to be good, I'd keep my promises if only I could
You count your blessings that I can't rely on you
And I tried and I tried
And I tried and I tried
Clutch your pictures of the Pope
Pray to God for love and hope
Bring the Virgin home for luck
Bolt the door down, keep it shut
I've done things I never thought I'd d...
You look so fine, I want to break your heart
And give you mine, you're taking me over
It's so insane, you've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name and I'm falling over
I'm not like all the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
That you used to know
You look so fine
Knocked down, cried out
Been down just to find out
I'm through living for ...
