Mother Earth, can you feed us now?

Feed me now, feed me now
Mother Earth, can you see us now?
Hold me down, hold me down

Mother Earth, can you feed us now?
Burst the bug, be forever loved
Hold me down, you can't hold me down
Break the bones, throw your stones

You gotta fight it, you can fight it, no one else will
You gotta fight it, you can fight it, no one else will

Feed me now, see me now

Throw the stones, throw the stones

I got a pain in my sick brain

Two red eyes and broken veins
I got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed

I wish that I was still fifteen
Debbie Harry and Steve McQueen
I found the angel in my dream, sucked her dry
and cut her wing
LA foodstore cabinet

Get up, shut up, give me Nurofen Plus
Shut up, it hurts, feel I've been hit by a bus
Get up, shut up, you know you don't understand
I'm feeling under the weather (weather)

From the womb, into school
Changing faces, breaking rules
Circumstances make you bleed
Sew the wounds so you will heal
'Cause there's no substitute for pain
Histrionics, broken frames
Build a fire to thaw my brain
LA foodstore cabinet

Get up, shut up, give me Nurofen Plus
Shut up, it hurts, feel I've been hit by a bus
Get up, shut up, you know you don't understand
I'm feeling under the weather (weather)

I don't know why I do this time and time again
'Cause all my drowning sorrows became my friends

Get up, shut up
Get up, shut up

I got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed

Yeah, I got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I got a hand inside my head
LA foodstore cabinet

Get up, shut up, give me Nurofen Plus
Shut up, it hurts, feel I've been hit by a bus
Get up, shut up, you know you don't understand
I'm feeling under the weather (weather)

I got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed

I got a pain in my sick brain
Two red eyes and broken veins
I got a hand inside my head
A chainsaw cutting through my bed

You're just a face in the crowd

A tiny hole in the cloud
You're trying to find your way in
To let your soul shine back out

We're just a twist in a seam
A splash of paint on a screen
We're making all kinds of shapes
Somehow we can straighten out the bends

This is our time, we can't rewind,
Our place to shine out, and we can live it anyway
This is our time to feel sublime,
Our place to shine now, and we can do it anyway
We can't rewind

Do you think we can change?
A different colour and shade?
I guess a new kind of thing
Somehow we can straighten out the bends

This is our time, we can't rewind,
Our place to shine out, and we can live it anyway
This is our time to feel sublime,
A place to shine now, and we can do it anyway
Oh yes, we can do it our way then

Stop taking me for a fool now
I've got this feeling inside me
But I guess you knew
We can work it out
We can find some place new
We can't rewind
We can't rewind

You're just a face in a crowd
A tiny hole in the cloud

This is our time, we can't rewind,
Our place to shine out, and we can live it anyway
This is our time to feel sublime,
A place to shine now, and we can do it anyway

This is our time, we can't rewind,
A place to shine out, and we can live it anyway
This is our time to feel sublime,
A place to shine now, and we can do it anyway

Seeing things, going places

Living out of suitcases
Everyday's like a dream
I find myself talking to shadows
Taking the train of youth back home again

'Cause I don't wanna be a hero
But I don't wanna be a zero

And I don't wanna sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside your mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got

Seeing things, going places
Meeting all kinds of faces
Every day's like a scene
I find myself going through phases
Trying to find somewhere that I can be me

'Cause I don't wanna be your hero
But I don't wanna be a zero

But I don't wanna sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside you mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got

I'm not trying to find an easy way
Picking up the pieces of a page
I'm looking for a place inside you're mind
'Cause I don't wanna leave it all behind

So come on, give in
There's no beauty in this pain
So come on, connect
We've gotta find ourselves again

'Cause I don't wanna be your hero

And I don't wanna sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside you're mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got

I'm not trying to find an easy way
Picking up the pieces of the page
I'm looking for a place inside you're mind
'Cause I don't wanna leave it all behind

And I don't wanna sit here wasting time
I just want a place inside you mind
I wish that I could turn the clocks right back
It's easy to forget just what you've got

I'm not trying to find an easy way
Thinking of the pieces of the page
I'm looking for a place inside you're mind
'Cause I don't wanna leave it all behind

Sending it all right back

Waiting for heart attacks
Watching the days collide
Changing with the weather

Trying to keep it clear
Slither on broken tears
Searching for ways to cure
Who can make it better?

'Cause you will never keep me down
You could never keep me down

I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
I wanna leave it all, just for a while
I'll be satellite news
I wanna lift myself above the clouds
Cut the ropes around me, you'll see me shine
Shine like the sun

Conditioned compatible youth
TV and comfort foods
Sending back down the news
They're hoping that it's better

You will never keep me down
You can never keep me down

I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
I wanna leave it all, just for a while
I'll be satellite news
I wanna lift myself above the clouds
Cut the ropes around me, you'll see me shine
Shine, shine like the sun

I'll shine like the sun
Shine like the sun
I'll shine like the sun

I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
I wanna leave it all, just for a while

'Cause you will never keep me down
You could never keep me down

I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
I wanna leave it all, just for a while
I'll be satellite news
I wanna lift myself above the clouds
Cut the ropes around me, you'll see me shine
See me shine
Shine like the sun

I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
I wanna leave it all, just for a while
I'll be satellite news
I wanna lift myself above the clouds
Cut the ropes around me, you'll see me shine
Shine, shine like the sun

I'll shine like the sun

Shine like the sun

There's a message on my bed
A new engraving in my overloading head
Feel the walls are caving in
As the wire cuts into my butter skin

Overload, love's the antidote we need
Love's the antidote we really need

When you're all by yourself
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a look at yourself
Don't fall back in

I thought I'd shot my conscience dead
But he's come back again to break my china head
Blown a hole right through my dream
Brought me back to earth in a rocket made for one

Overload, love's the antidote we need
It's the antidote we really need

When you're all by yourself
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a look at yourself
Don't fall back in

'Cause when you're all by yourself
Standing on the edge of the world
Take a look at yourself
Don't fall back in
Don't fall back in
