Clam Dip And Other Delights

The mirror on the wall it tells no lies
And oh i don't like what i see
I see a woman there i watch her as she cries
And the woman isn't really me

But every day i get up, calm down, give up, hang around
Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free
I need to feel you put your hands around me
Day in, day out it's the same old story

You're out there on your own
Is he worth the price you pay
Got you in his chains
Will he set you free someday

I wish i didn't feel this way i can't get nothing done
And all i want to do is go to sleep
Though i lie in bed for hours i cannot close my eyes
And lonely days turn into lonely weeks

But every day i get up, calm down, give up, hang around
Look for you, tender, hold me, set me free
I need to feel you put your hands around me
Day in, day out, it's the same old story

You're out there on your own
Is he worth the price you pay
Got you in his chains
Will he set you free someday

Every now and then i think things might be all right
And i think i see a light beyond the door
Just as i approach it disappears again
And everything seems darker than before

But every day i get up, calm down, give up, hang around
Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free
I need to feel you put your hands around me
Day in, day out, it's the same old story

You're out there on your own
Is he worth the price you pay
Got you in his chains
Will he set you free someday

Well, well, now what the hell has gotten into you
Is it something we can make it through
I'll spend the rest of my life trying to figure you out
Like a black silhouette in a shadow of doubt
Some kinda spectacle that no one can see through

But it burns inside, you hide it well
You hide it from yourself
And you promise that you won't tell
Promise that you won't tell
Promise that you won't tell
Promise that you won't yell
Secret no more, secret no more

Now i know that something's wrong
And i'll find out before too long
Only you can break my solitude
Don't you tell anyone i told you this
?? and then they kiss
We got to die to spread your disease too

But it burns inside, you hide it well
You hide and ??
And you promise that you won't tell
Promise that you won't tell
Promise that you won't tell
Promise that you won't yell
Secret no more, secret no more

Promise that you won't tell (x3)
Promise that you won't yell
Secret no more, secret no more (x2)

You sold your soul for a lump of coal
She's blacker than the night
Didn't think you'd be needing it
But you thought ??

But you never know who you might meet
On the street where the church bells ring to a different beat

Is it joy, is it pain?
Is it rustin' in the rain?
Do you really think i need it?
Is it just plain evil?

Heard of a man who had a plan
To save the wretched world
Nationwide genocide
??

Like one-eyed jacks
And suicide queens
Look out for ?? if you know what i mean

Is it good, is it bad?
Is it bitter, is it sad?
Is it inside all these people?
Is it just plain evil?

You've got a lot to learn
You've got a lot to change
You've got nothing to lose
But a ball and chain

Is it good, is it bad?
Is it bitter, is it sad?
Do you really think i need it?
Is it just plain evil?
