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

All i want to do is get back to you
Connection, i just can't make no connection
But all i want to do is to get back to you

Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And i don't know if he'll let me go

Connection, i just can't make no connection
But all i want to do is to get back to you

My bags they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em
They're dying to add me to their collection
I don't know if they'll let me go

Connection, i just can't make no connection
But all i want to do is to get back to you

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!

I hear the sonic sound of brakes
As you whisper in my ear
I hold your head between my sweaty hands
And shout loud for all to hear
Anita say the word

I smell gasoline and i feel the heat
As we make love standing up
In the alley behind your street
Glow and crumble girl
I want you but i don't want your world
Anita say the word...
And i will walk with you almost anywhere
Back to al's bar, baby hand in hand
All them local boys will know that i'm your new man

Hey see anita, yeah she's my scary girl
All black blue eyes and blue blackened hair
I can taste the heaven waiting there
Shake and tremble, broken grace
I admit it, i'm in love, but out of place
Anita say the word...
And i will sleep with you in that misfit way
With the tv noise so loud it soothes my fears
And the flickering light bathes your face

I wake from the drugs and the fear
In the night outside the world reverberates
Blue shadows in our loft, downtown l.a.
Outside the world reverberates
I need the strength i see in her
I need the love i feel inside
We talk about leaving behind the hell we're in
We laugh about making it out alive

Yeah, see anita, yeah
She's my pretty girl
Blind eyes to the world outside
No more so than the rest of the world...
No more so, than any other girl
It makes no sense to me...
Yeah anita, say the word

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 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

I been north, i been east, to the california beach
There's only one place i know where to find you
And you southern girls got a way with your words and you show it
You say hump and i'll jump
You say go and i know, waste no time gettin so close to you
And you remember the way to find out that i wanted to thank you

Ooh baby needs some brand new shoes
You get out on the street, you got nothing to lose
I feel your crazy and everyone says it
Southern girls, you got nothing to lose

I've been up, i've been down
I've been weak, i've been strong
But i've never met someone like you
And you'll never know that if i found you i'd thank you
You say hump and i'll jump
You say go and i know, waste no time gettin so close to you
And all you southern girls got a way with your words and you show it

Chorus

You might think this boy he loves you, southern girl
You make it hard, oh so hard
I been north, i been east, to the california beach
There's only one place i know where to find you
And you southern girls got a way with your words and you show it


Chorus

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

Wish i had the strength inside to make you go away
Wish i was immune
Ever since i met you drinking at the circle bar
I go where you will to keep from being ripped in two

I still smile when i think of 1986
You and me in that little room drunk on sex
And we'd fall asleep at every band we'd go to see
Easier to pass out then to deal with you and me alone
Sitting in the dark hearing john doe sing
About poor little girls and silver wings
Yeah baby something's gotta give

Wish i knew why you're so intent on breaking me
Act like a bitch possessed, yeah a bitch possessed
I've had it up to here with your crazy ever-changing moods
I just take your worst, while you just take my best
I've had enough, i've had enough
Yeah i need a break
You're always out screwing around while i'm hammerin' on the neighbor's door
Hoping they'll turn the led zepplin down
Yeah baby something's gotta give
Something somewhere's gotta give
Yeah baby something's gotta give
Yeah i think i need a break
Wanna break you from the inside out
That smug complacent smile is reason enough
I wanna cut the ties that bind my life
I wanna break you in your prime

Wish i had in me the power to make you disappear
Wish i had control
I just wanna walk away and never have to hear
About you, all the things you say that i don't really wanna know
Yeah, what you say, what you do, where you go
Everything i loved about you was just for show
Oh baby something's gotta give
Something somewhere's gotta give
Yeah baby something's gotta give
Yes i think we need a break
I need to separate
I need to separate from you, i need to separate...

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
