The Moment You Realize You're Going to Fall

How To Look Naked I had see'd people bleed and I thought I'd seen it all But my own two eyes would prove me wrong that day. There are things that I done only seen by the sun And those things will be buried in my grave. The crows and the buzzards will pick your bones clean. No name of your's will be upon the wall. Hogtied on Halloween and raped by magazines We line up on the edge to watch you fall. No one knows you don't take off your clothes You took to the land like fishes take to sand. You clambered up your cross to raise your flag. Made tissue paper sails. Used thread instead of nails. Your autograph was carved across your back. We thought that you were done, but then you grabbed your gun. You pushed and barked and ran full speed ahead. You tore over the hill. We cannot find you still. We hit the lights and hoped that you'd be dead. No one knows you don't take off your clothes. We hope we'll get to see you fall through the canopy. With a stomach full of blood, you'll find the ground... We Light Up I got my camera, I'm gonna take your picture tonight, and you can see what you look like. You got your camera, you're gonna take my picture tonight, and I can see what I look like too, With you, who knew that we'd look so good beaten black and blue. You got your hair tied back and your fur coat on. You call your girlfriends up and then we're gone. We gonna meet down the street and we're drinking for free, We pinky shake as you order your martini. One last round and away we go, we run a little bit late, but make the show. They were getting pretty friendly in the back of the car. We gotta fight that crowd to reach that bar. We're gonna rage in the city all night long. We're gonna rage in the city all night long. Your discotheque won't play my song. We're gonna rage in the city all night long. I got my camera, I'm gonna take your picture tonight, and you can see what you look like. You got your camera, you're gonna take my picture tonight, and I can see what I look like too, With you, who knew that we'd look so good beaten black and blue. Well the band goes on, but we digress. We gotta take the back stairs for roof access. We can hear the city scream as we yell from the top. It's 12: 19 and we won't stop. Late night lurks are underground. Downstairs snares and ugly sounds. I'm gonna make a proposition that I know you're about. We're going back to your place to act it out. And then we'll rage in the city all night long. We're gonna rage in the city all night long. Your discotheque won't play my song. We're gonna rage in the city all night long. The bridge, the tower, the top of the roof. We light up the night and we're taking it to. House to house, and mouth to mouth. The fire escapes we shake where the sky scrapes. The flights rise, and they collide. Tonight we will not be denied. I could see that you were trouble from the moment we met, But sometimes I've gotta live out what I'm gonna regret. We're gonna rage in the city all night long. We're gonna rage in the city all night long. Your discotheque won't play my song. We're gonna rage in the city all night long. I Want You To Drop the ship in the water and don't look back Paint the stables red and the fire black We watch the white horse run White horse ride from the cell in it's cellar Gonna get inside Read the face on the shitter right between the ears As his holes don't close when he's spitting spears There's an eye of a liar on the other side And a hole through the chest of the one that died I want you to You giveth away because I want you to You taketh away because I want you to You kiss on the lips because I want you to I want you to Kill a few, kill a dozen, kill another's kin He's rapping on the pane of the window again He's got a blade for a tongue and there's snakes for eyes And his hand's on the handles of a hundred knives And if they don't fall down you can watch them run With two bullets in your pocket and a rusty gun We going three by three to the mountain top To throw that son of a bitch right off the highest drop I want you to You open your mouth because I want you to You dance on my heart because I want you to You choke on your words because I want you to I want you to The devil won't take my place I need to touch your pretty face He don't know your name But you're all pretty much the same You wanna be my frown? I can promise that you'll be let down You're a whirling dervish A prude to purchase Afraid to surface and serve this Oh baby I want you to You pull out the plug because I want you to You stick in my guts because I want you to You pray on your knees because I want you to I want you to I want you to You giveth away because I want you to You taketh away because I want you to You kiss on the lips because I want you to I want you to The Girl In Black There's a flame in the desert at the foot of the hills And there's a circle in the sand where the water spills There's a line up the spine of the girl in black And it rips through her dress at the small of her back She's been waiting there to take you through that door So you can lay her down on the cavern floor And you'll see the same flame burning in her eyes As you smear your stink across her inner thighs You couldn't leave well enough alone You hold your heart like it's made out of stone You couldn't leave well enough alone Alone alone alone She slithers through the snow like a snake but she's still And she come's floating through the window without touching the sill She prefers to make an entrance without using the door And she'll be standing on your bed before she crosses the floor She's a will-of-the-wisp as she's swinging her hips Her breath is like a worm spinning silk from her lips And tonight spook lights will be seen from your room And you and her and Jack and I are swimming in gloom You couldn't leave well enough alone You hold your heart like it's made out of stone You couldn't leave well enough alone Alone alone alone The Colour Escapes Come on baby lemme give you a name And we'll see if you can find a purpose These faces all look the same And I can guarantee they're worthless Some souls are bought and sold They fold beneath the surface We cannot take their hands They'll hold their gold and curse us The colour escapes, you know You've seen my heart and it's black as coal It's not the one that I wanted to show You were built like a light on a stilt And I can see you wilt in silence People stand around waiting for signs They become blind to your vibrance They don't look, put their faith in a book The end result is violence Mind you, that bliss it sits on shit It sits on mindlessness The colour escapes, you know You've seen my heart and it's black as coal It's not the one that I wanted to show Tiger By The Tail I see, look across the way there Like flame, giving me the same stare Eyes locked Exhibits A and B You draw a line Cutting through the air and Connect Making us a pair then It's my hope to get burned Don't you see? Big kitty cats don't lick no paws And little kitty cats don't show no claws Big kitty cats don't lick no paws And little kitty cats don't show no claws I got a tiger by the tail And I'm gonna give it a little kick And then a big kiss It's not safe down on the ground, no They keep circling around, yeah You better learn to climb a tree It's not safe Not where we at, no You had better get yourself a bat and Start swinging away at anything you see I got a tiger by the tail And I'm gonna give it a little kick And then a big kiss Your Head Will Be Rotting On A Spike Your head will be rotting on a spike I don't complain much but I might Your life's on a loop just like before You stuff your face and still want more My head may be rotting on a spike I don't complain much but I might Given the time it's not the time to make an enemy And you will stop seeing Give us some time and try to wind up all the ends you find There's no end to be seen Now that you're blind they're not so kind, not so accepting now That you are not breeding Bring all you have and all you had, give all you got Or stop Our heads they are rotting on their spikes We can't complain, we lost our sight As useless as we were before We stuff our face, but we are sure We are sore Given the time it's not the time to make an enemy And you will stop seeing Give us some time and try to wind up all the ends you find There's no end to be seen Now that you're blind they're not so kind, not so accepting now That you are not breeding Bring all you have and all you had, give all you got Or stop Torch From The Sky Did you hear as she called As her voice came down the hall How it trembled as soft as a little girl? Towards the knock on the door I watched you glide across the floor As you answered a hundred voices spoke We will crawl through the mud They will bathe in their own blood We will take them like a splinter from an eye And we come in the night We are made of blackest light Like a torch falling fast out of the sky There's no fat in this land The old heart has left it's hand So let's sit and watch the distant fires glow We will steal what we could We are through being good We will only be the sum of what you know Did you hear the awful sound As they pushed into the town? I could tell the switch had flipped inside your head There's no love left to give We can't hide, we can't live We are holding hands and walking with the dead You can take me home But I can't be alone I can't be alone Did you hear as she called As her voice came down the hall How it trembled as soft as a little girl? Towards the knock on the door I watched you glide across the floor As you answered a hundred voices spoke We will crawl through the mud They will bathe in their own blood We will take them like a splinter from an eye And we come in the night We are made of blackest light Like a torch falling fast out of the sky Like a torch falling fast out of the sky Like a torch falling fast out of the sky Like a torch falling fast out of the sky Because Of You Because of you I've searched The back streets to the shore The river banks No thanks It won't feel like before Because of this I fish for little bits of time I memorized your thoughts And turned them into mine I thought I'd let you know I won't be letting go I won't be turning cheek I won't be swallowing I thought I'd let you know I won't be letting go I won't be turning cheek I won't be suffering Because of you I waste The life I thought I made I throw away what's warm The colour starts to fade Because it seems I dream Of being somewhere else I try to find that place And end up by myself I thought I'd let you know I won't be letting go I won't be turning cheek I won't be swallowing I thought I'd let you know I won't be letting go I won't be turning cheek I won't be suffering Splayed When you die I'm gonna roll around and laugh on the floor I'll party like we never had a party before When you fall I'm gonna be there just to raise up a glass All dreams fulfilled of putting boots in your ass You know there's something inside me Like an animal that's gotta get out You know there's something inside me That makes me wanna put my fist in your mouth When I die I'm gonna come back and haunt you for fun Slam doors, move books, make you pee while you run When I'm done I'm gonna celebrate my ghostly success With my invisible penis watching ladies undress You know there's something inside me Like an animal that's gotta get out You know there's something inside me But it's not me You know there's something inside me Like an animal that's gotta get out You know there's something inside me That makes me wanna put my fist in your mouth But it's not me Scream Hallelujah Now things have turned for the worse Thought I was so well rehearsed I guess I'm probably cursed I just don't know I beat my head on the wall I'm trying not to recall The inevitable fall And so it goes I'm struck so shockingly dumb I know now I can become The definition of numb And you can too So let's all pull out our teeth And go to sleep like good sheep Let's watch our TVs and weep Oh yes You better Scream Hallelujah Scream Hallelujah You better Scream Hallelujah Hallelujah Now get the fuck back in line And pay your taxes on time And lay around like you're swine There is no doubt You live your life on the screen And talk about what you've seen A vicarious dream You won't live out They put the rails in your head And as you travel you're led You can't control what you're fed But you won't gag So lock your yourself up indoors Ignorant media whores Before you're gasping in your plastic bag You better Scream Hallelujah Scream Hallelujah You better Scream Hallelujah Hallelujah I don't want you to go it alone So I left a little seed and it's grown But somehow you don't seem Like one for watering I'll never ask you why But these little things, they die You better Scream Hallelujah Scream Hallelujah You better Scream Hallelujah Hallelujah Bakelite Blood is wrong But always on the corner of the tabletop A bag of bones that sits and smokes And laughs at all your stupid jokes It's such a fuss to fall for love Not fall in love To fall A drug So smug at first Then learns the thirst Gets worse and worse And all your new found Hope is gone But all along It always was The same old song And dance for now You dance so proud You sing so loud You break apart A work of I hate myself so full of shits A giggle fit For wasting time And passing by I settle down Into a frown So many years Of wearing down And out of this It's ludicrous to amputate A simple wish because it sits Just right outside appropriate And your Hope is gone But all along It always was The same old song And dance for now You dance so proud You sing so loud You break apart A work of art Burn The World Where are we? Where are we? We are searching endlessly I got only one night left I'm never going to bed And where is she? Not free Brain chained Lock and key She got- A little fever But it's killing my head I thought I burned the world Around me down but now The sound is clearly calling us Right back to watch them wind it up I thought you burned the world Around you down but now The sound is clearly calling us Right back to watch them wind it up again We fall We break It seems real but it's all fake It's on the television It's your decision You walk away with weights on And you're gonna sink You're extinct In your hole They say you've lost your soul I know the grass won't grow So slick, you slipped But you slid too slow You know I thought I burned the world Around me down but now The sound is clearly calling us Right back to watch them wind it up I thought you burned the world Around you down but now The sound is clearly calling us Right back to watch them wind it up again Grinning Like A Slit You can look to the mountain You can talk to the dead You can run to the city lights But it's all in your head You can look to a stranger But all you'll find is a wall You can wish all you want But no one answers at all Goodbyes They are flies That rise from shit And I was skinning A new beginning While you were grinning Like a slit You can try not to cry out As you wake in the night You can stare at the blackness But it's taken your sight You imagine a face there That you can almost touch You can reach all you want But it's only a crutch Goodbyes They are flies That rise from shit And I was skinning A new beginning While you were grinning Like a slit Where are you now? Where is the crowd? These sleeping streets Are speaking aloud And I couldn't recall The feeling at all The moment I realized I was going to fall
