unknown

Then they came on me
They dragged me from the bar
Still wet from sweat and beer
I bruise so prettily by men blinded by their fear
These men
Broke my back and made me lame

Then she said to me
I'd give you everything to make it like before
To make you love me like you used to
Make you love me more
She said to me
Your life is large but your mind is lame


I can't believe my eyes
When i see the truth and all the things i've done
And every place i'm queer
I never stay i run
I know now why i live in shame


Lame...

It's hard to sleep at night
I hardly ever sleep at night

From the scream 2 soundtrack
Never said i was innocent
I will burn in hell for the things i've done to you
Never said i was anything good
I should die from the shame from what i put you through

Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead
I will take the blame for everything
You know i just wanna help you forget


We are still living on broken glass
We are still numb because it just keeps happening
All your friends, they can kiss my ass
They only see the simple things that they wanna see


Let me be the one to make the pain go away
Shave my skin and show a brand new face
You know i just wanna know that you're okay


You don't have to like it but the swing is in my hands now
Sometimes i think
The power is better than a hard drug
Sometimes i think
The power is better than anything
Sometimes i think
Letting go is just like giving up
Sometimes all i think i wanna do is die inside
All i wanna do is die inside
All i ever think about is you and me falling apart

Never said i was innocent
I will burn in hell for the things i have done to you
Never said i was anything good
Nah nah nah nah


Let me be the one to make the pain go away
Shave my skin and show a brand new face
You know i just wanna know that you're okay
Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead
I will take the blame for everything
I just wanna help you forget


Sometimes i think
Letting go is just like giving up
Sometimes all i think about is falling apart

She was an american girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an american girl

It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on four forty one like waves crashing on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
She crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

Chorus

She is livin' far away from a lonely man in the san francisco bay,
He is dreamin' hard of a girl all claid in bad plaid and mad at the whole world

All her friends they are blessed impressed intelligent freaks,
All of them are six feet tall all of them are hateful to me


She sleeps alone and wet with her phone in her face all tied up in her old bed,
She walks alone everyday up and down the rainy streets in her own weird way

All her friends they are blessed impressed intelligent freaks,
All of them are six feet tall all of them are hateful to me,
Hateful, yeah they're hateful to me...

Getting very hateful

Some people call me the space cowboy
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me maurice
'cause i speak of the pompitous of love

People keep talking about me, baby
Said i'm doin' you wrong
Well, don't worry, don't worry
'cause i'm right here at home


Cause i'm a picker, i'm a grinner
I'm a lover, and i'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker, i'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one

You're the cutest thing that i ever did see
I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, i'll sure show you a good time

Chorus 2x

Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night
Our paddles break the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man and the fields of green
And the homeland we've never seen

They killed us in our tepee
They cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin' on the ground
But the big guns and the wagon wheels come
Yes, and the night falls on the setting sun

They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little room at the top of the stairs
With an indian rug and a pipe to share

I wish a was a trapper
I would give thousand pelts
To sleep with pocahontas
And to find out how she felt
In the morning on the fields of green
In the homeland we've never seen

Yes and maybe marlon brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of hollywood
And the good things there for hire
And the astrodome and the first tepee
Marlon brando, pocahontas and me
Marlon brando, pocahontas and me
Pocahontas

Yeah, here you come again
I should have known you'd be around
Makes no sense to me why we're still alive
You've got weeks to live and i am on a spiral dive
When you finally die
Don't let me need you there
I know damn well you're not alone
Surrounded laughing by the death head grins
Of all my friends who've overdosed
Overdosed and died
And you know
That's the way we go
Back in your color room the shadows fall and break
We would waste away
Burning out, shooting up
I'm not gonna fall with you this time
I might not get up, i'm not strong enough
You know...
Can't you see it's killing me
I'm not gonna walk back into the pit for you
Yeah, not for you or anyone
I don't want the speed, i don't want the heroin
I'm not gonna break
I'm not gonna play your game
When you die alone in that pit of hell
Don't perpetuate the myth, don't romanticize
I'm not gonna watch you die again
I don't want to see
You know...
You don't wanna talk about it but you know
You sit and laugh at me
You'll die laughing
Yeah, you're all fucked up
Can't you see it's killing me...
I'm not gonna walk back into the pit...
For you

Woke up sweating in the sun
Sprawled across my big brother's grave
Shaking and drunk with sleep
I crawled to my feet and walked up into the shade
Of a young elm tree that must have been planted since the last we came
Vicki, my mom, and me, cleaned the dirt
From the plaque that says his name
Walking to my girlfriend's car
Came back down on me
Yeah, i guess i fell to my knees
To keep from falling face-first into the dream
The vision that had had me twisting out under the afternoon sky
I didn't know it then
But it was thirteen years to the day he died

He held his hand in me
Like brothers we walked
Through the colorless world of an alcohol dream
I talked for hours
Trying the break through the silence
That he held over me
Then he started away, turned his head
Keep it up so you can die like me

Ever since my brother odied
I've drifted all over from town to town to town
Every place i go it's always the same
I keep doing junk, i keep going down
My mama got religion and my sisters gave up
Man i just gave up too
I just died inside
Don't wanna die like george
Everybody says there's things to see
Everybody's pointing their fingers at me

I woke up driving
After another blackout from another bad drug
I can't shake this hell that i made for myself
For every other life i took
See my sister's son walk the line i walked
He's only sixteen
If he don't learn from my mistakes
He's gonna waste away
He's gonna die like me

Here he comes, here comes speedracer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasing after someone
He's gaining on you so you better look alive
He's busy revving up the powerful mach-5
And when the odds are against him and there's dangerous work
You can bet your life speedracer will see it through

Go speedracer
Go speedracer
Go speedracer, go

He's off and flying as he guns his car around the track
He's jamming down the pedal like he's never coming back
Adventure's waiting just ahead!

Santa baby, just slip a guitar under the tree for me
Been an awful good boy
Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
Yeah, i'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the fun i've missed
Think of all the girlies that i haven't kissed
Next year i could be just as good
If you'd check off my christmas list

Santa baby, i want a yacht and really that's not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight


Santa cutie, one little thing that i need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my christmas tree
With some decorations bought at tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me too

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
Yeah, i don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, fill my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your x on the line
Santa baby, now hurry down the chimney tonight


Think of all the fun i've missed
Think of all the girlies that i could've kissed
Next year i could be just as good
If you'd check off my christmas list

Santa baby, forgot to mention just one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

I heard the truth about you
And it doesn't really read at all
Like the whipping stick you raised me with
A scared woman in a private hell
Hushed voice like electric bell
Strange talk about edgar cayce
And the long lame walk of the dark 70's
I heard the truth about you
Yeah, you
Mama they woke me up
I was deep in an idiot sleep
I was just 8 years old
I heard big words with a horrible sound
Mama they called my school
To tell me my mother had a nervous breakdown

I wish i believed like you do
Yeah, you
In the myth of a merciful god
In the myth of a heaven or hell
I hear the voices you hear sometimes
Sometimes it gets so much i feel like letting go
Sometimes it gets so hard i feel like letting it go
Sometimes it gets so goddamn hard


I ran away, went looking for you
Back to culver city and the old neighborhood
Need to know if you were really gone
Need to know if you were gone for good
I ran through the projects at night
Hide in the dark from my friends in the light
Hide from my brother-in-law
Hide from the things he'd say
He said you weren't losing your mind
He said you just needed a rest
He said you'd be coming home soon
He said the doctors there would know what's best
He said that maybe i could go live with them for a while

I heard the truth about you
I know the truth about you...
Yeah, they woke me up
I was just 8 years old
Sometimes it gets so hard i feel like letting it go
Sometimes it gets so hard i feel like letting it all go...

I just want a lover like any other, what do i get
I only want a friend who will stay to the end, what do i get

What do i get, whoa, what do i get
What do i get, whoa, what do i get

I'm in distress, i need a caress, what do i get
I'm not on the make, i just need a break, what do i get

What do i get, whoa, what do i get
What do i get, whoa, what do i get

I only get sleepless nights
Alone here in my half-empty bed
For you things seem to turn out right
I wish they'd only happen to me instead

What do i get, whoa, what do i get
What do i get, whoa, what do i get

I only get sleepless nights
Alone here in my half-empty bed
For you things seem to turn out right
I wish they'd only happen to me instead

What do i get, whoa, what do i get
What do i get, whoa, what do i get

I just want a lover like any other, what do i get
I only want a friend who will stay to the end, what do i get

What do i get, whoa, what do i get
What do i get, whoa, what do i get

Well let me tell you now
(what do i get)
No love
(what do i get)
No sleep at night
(what do i get)
Nothing that's nice
(what do i get)
Nothing at all, at all, at all...

'cause i don't get you

Morning, this morning the curtains are shut
I'd ring you in the morning but the phone's been cut
Can you hear me, i've been calling all day
Can you hear me
The radio reporter said the line's all dead
He told me that i oughta write a letter instead
Can you hear me, i've been calling all day
Can you hear me

Yes i'd wish they'd fix the wires cause my baby won't know
That i'm leaving in the morning and i'm ready to go
Can you hear me
Can you hear me at all
Gotta get the operator, make a telephone call

And if i write a letter it won't get there on time
I'll only reach you baby on the telephone line
Can you hear me, i've been calling all day
Can you hear me
My car's all ready and my bags are all packed
I'm late already and i won't be back
Can you hear me, i've been calling all day
Can you hear me


Chorus 3x

Can you hear me at all?

Wasn't that you
Walking down pico boulevard
Yeah, wasn't that you
Looking cool, baby, walking hard
Wasn't that you fallin' drunk out of that black girls car
Yeah, wasn't that you?
Baby, wasn't that you?
Baby wasn't that you last night at the gay bar

You had a dazed look on your face and a big girl on your arm
You've been running around, girl
You've been acting strange
Since we hit this west coast town in march of last year
I don't even know what we're doing here
I tried so hard to see what burns inside your heart
Your burning heart
Baby wasn't that you last night at the gay bar
Well we came form texas with one single plan
You was gonna model and act
I was gonna play in a rock and roll band
We didn't talk breaks or chance
We was going to make it real with our own hands
All you want to do is dance around and fall like an idiot star
Tell me, is it true that heroin illuminates the dark?
Wasn't that you last night at the gay bar

Get your things and don't you dare come back
I'm going to leave this fucked up place
I don't want to see your fucked up face
I don't want to drag this mess around
Hold you back or drag you down
I'm going to close my eyes and turn around
And walk out hard
Because i can't deal with what i think you are
Wasn't that you last night at the gay bar

I'm the man you don't think about
When you think about love
Lame white devil from the bars uptown
With a tatooed smile pulled tight around me like a killer's glove
I'm the man you don't wanna know
I'm the one
I'm that ugly one
Walking slow death ten feet behind you
Wherever you go, hey wherever you go
You'll feel the presence of a crippled man inside my mind
Wherever you go, hey wherever you go
You'll jump like danger at every face you see
Wherever you go, hey wherever you go
That reminds you of a life like me
Wherever you go, hey wherever you go
You'll know my name, you'll know what i am
For what i am
Yeah baby, i'm the man

That you will never want
When you want to have sex
Broken body and a misshaped head
Only bring to conscious mind the unclean smell of bitter sweat
Im the man you will never make
When you want to make love
I'm just the man who holds your glance in violence
Wherever you go, hey wherever you go
You'll feel the presence of a crippled man inside my mind
Wherever you go, hey wherever you go
You'll jump like danger at every face you see
Wherever you go, hey wherever you go
That reminds you hard of a life like me
Wherever you go, hey wherever you go
You'll know my name, you'll know what i am
Yeah, for what i am
Oh baby, baby, i'm the man
Yes, i'm the man

I'm the man you will never need
When you need to break down
I don't have the soft answers that you need
All i have are questions and my shoulders just aren't strong enough
I'm the one you don't want to know
I'm the man inside every man
I am waiting patiently and watching
Wherever you go, hey wherever you go...

I'm not gonna choke on your hard sell media dope
I'm not going out like that
I don't want to hear about the summer of love
I'm not going back in time
I don't want to even let love rule
I want to break the back of brotherly love
I don't want to go back in time
I wanna kill jerry garcia!

I wanna take the past and throw it away
I want to burn the bridge between then and now
I'm not going back in time
I wanna kill jerry garcia!
I don't want to sew the seeds of love
I want to punch marty balin in his eye
I don't wanna go back in time
I wanna kill jerry garcia!

(man, i don't have a quarter, leave me alone)

Don't want no dead blood on my hands
I wanna shake the flesh and bone
I don't wanna kill the myth
I wanna kill jerry garcia!

I wanna kick that skeleton in his teeth
I'd wanna kick pigpen if he were alive
I don't want to go back in time
I want to kill jerry garcia!

Kill jerry

Can you hear them
They talk about us
They're telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them
See right through them
Yeah that happens to you
Nothing gets through for you
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Yes, our lips are sealed

When we walk by
Then we must chose
In our defense
Silence
When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Yes, our lips are sealed

Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Hey hey hey
Our lips are sealed

Hush my darling, don't you cry
Quiet, angel, forget their lies

Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies, telling lies
That's no surprise
Can you see them
See right through them
Yeah that happens to you
Nothing gets through for you
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Yes, our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Hey hey hey
Yes, our lips are sealed
