1. _ Helena
long ago
just like the hearse you die to get in again
we are so far from you
burning on just like the match you strike to incinerate
the lives of everyone you know
and what's the worst you take
from every heart you break
and like the blade you stain
well i've been holding on tonight
what's the worst that i can say?
things are better if i stay
so long and goodnight
so long and goodnight
came a time when every star falls
brought you to tears again
we are the very hurt you sold
and what's the worst you take
from every heart you break
and like the blade you stain
well i've been holding on tonight
whats the worst that i can say
things are better if i stay
so long and goodnight
so long and goodnight
and if you carry on this way
things are better if i stay
so long and goodnight
so long and goodnight
can you hear me?
are you near me?
can we pretend to leave and then
we'll meet again when both our cars collide
what's the worst that i can
things are better if i stay
so long and goodnight
so long and goodnight
and if you carry on this way
things are better if i stay
so long and goodnight
so long and goodnight

2. _ To the end
he calls the mansion not a house but a tomb
he's always choking from the stench and the fume
the wedding party all collapsed in the room
se send my resignation to the bride and the groom
let's go down
this elevator only goes up to ten
he's not around
he's always looking at men
down by the pool he doesn't have many friends
as they are face down and bloated
snap a shot with the lens
if you marry me
will you bury me
will you carry me to the end
so say goodbye
(to the vows you take)
so say goodbye
(to the life you make)
and say goodbye
(to the heart you break)
and all the cyanide you drank
she keeps a picture of the body she lends
got nasty blisters from the money she spends
she got a life of her own and it shows
by the benz she drives at 90 by the barbies and
kens
if you ever say never too late
i'll forget all the diamonds you ate
lost in coma and covered in cake
increase the medication share the vows at the wake
kiss the bride
if you marry me
will you bury me
will you carry me to the end
so say goodbye
(to the vows you take)
and say goodbye
(to the life you make)
and say goodbye
(to the heart you break)
and all the cyanide you drank
so say goodbye
(to the last parade)
and walk away
(as the parties fade)
and say goodnight
(to the heart you break)
and all the cyanide you drank to the end

3. _ The Ghost of You
I never said I'd lie in wait forever
If I died we'd be together
I can't always just forget her, but she could try
At the end of the world
or the last thing I see
You are never coming home never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever
Ever, get the feeling that you're never all alone
And I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms, she dies, she dies
At the end of the world
or the last thing i see
You are never coming home never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever
...and all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
and all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
If i fall down

4. _ Cemetery Drive
This night. Walk the dead. In a solitary style and
crash the cemetery gates. In the dress your
husband hates. Way down mark the grave. Where
the searchlights find us drinking by the Mausoleum
door. And they found you on the bathroom floor.
I miss you so far. And the collision of your kiss
that made it so hard. Back home. Off the run.
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists. It
isn't that much fun. Staring down a loaded gun. So
I won't stop dying. Won't stop lying. If you want
I'll keep on crying. Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want me for? I miss you.

5. _ The Jetset Life is Gonna Kill You
Gaze into her killing jar I'd sometimes stare for hours.
She even poked the holes so I can breath.
She bought the last line.
I'm just the worst kind.
Of guy to argue.
With what you might find.
And for the last night I lie.
Could I lie with you?
Give up. Get down. It's just the hardest part of living
She wants. It all. To come down this time.
Lost in the prescription she's got something else in mind.
Check in to the Hotel Bella Muerte.
It gives the weak flight.
It gives the blind sight.
Until the cops come.
Or by the last light.
And for the last night I lie.
Could I lie next to you?
Pull the plug. But I'd like to learn your name.
And holding on. Well I hope you do the same
Awww sugar. Slip into this tragedy you've spun this
chamber dry.

6. _ I'm not okay (i promise)
well if you wanted honesty
that's all you had to say
i never want to let you down or have you go
it's better off this way
for all the dirty looks
the photographs your boyfriend took
remember when you broke your foot
from jumping out the 2nd floor
i'm not okay, i'm not okay, i'm not okay
you wear me out
what will it take to show you that it's not the life
it seems
i've told you time and time again
you sing the words but
don't know what it means
to be a joke and look
another line without a hook
i held you close as we both shook
for the last time-take a good hard look
i'm not okay, i'm not okay, i'm not okay
you wear me out
forget about the dirty looks
the photographs your boyfriend took
you said you're read me like a book
but the pages are all torn and frayed
now i'm okay, i'm okay......
i'm okay now, i'm okay now,
what do you really want from me
because i'm telling you the truth
I mean this
i'm okay, trust me
i'm not okay, i'm not okay, i'm not okay
i'm not o-f***ing-kay.....

7. _ Hang'em High
Wait until it fades to black. Ride into the sunset.
Would I lie to you? Well I've got something to say.
Grab your six gun from your back. Throttle the
ignition. Would I die for you? Well here's your answer
in spades. Shotgun sinners, wild-eyed jokers. Got
you in my sights. Gun it while I'm holding on. After
all is said and done. Climb out from the pine box
well I'm asking you. Cuz she's got nothing to say.
The angels just cut out her tongue. Call her black
Mariah. Would I lie to you? That girl's not right in the
brain. Mass convulsions strike the choir. by the grace
of God. Gun it while I'm holding on but. Don't stop.
If I fall and don't look back. Don't stop bury me and
fade to black. She won't stop me put it down.

8. _ I Never Told You What I Did For a Living
Stay out of the light or the photograph that I gave
you. You can say a prayer if you need to. Or just
get in line and I'll grieve you. Can I see you? Alone.
Another night and I'll see you. Another night and
I'll be you. Some other way to continue. To hide
my face. Another knife in my hands. A stain that
never comes off the sheets. Clean me off. I'm so
dirty, babe. The kind of dirty where the water never
cleans off the clothes. I keep a book of the names
and those. Only go so far. Til you bury them. So far
and down we go. Touched by angels though. I fall
out of grace. I did it all so maybe I'd live this every
day. Down we go. We'l never again and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head.
AND WE'RE ALL DEAD. NOW

9. _ Thank You for the Venom
Sister, I'm not much a poet but a criminal
and you never had a chance. love it or leave it
you can't understand. a pretty face but you do so
carry on. I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me. On and
on. Love is the red, the rose on your coffin door
What's life like bleeding on the floor? You'll never
make me leave. I wear this on my sleeve. Give
me a reason to believe. So gimme all your poison
and gimme all your pills. And gimme all your hopeless
hearts and make me ill. you're running after
something that you'll never kill. If this is what you
want, then fire at will. Preach all you want but who's
gonna save me? I keep a gun on the book you gave
me. Hallelujah lock and load. Black is the kiss the
touch of a serpent son. It ain't the mark or the scar
that makes you one. Fire at Will.

10. _ It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's a Fucking De...
Do you remember when we met, you told me this gets
harder. Well it did, been holding on forever. Promise
me that when I'm gone you'll kill my enemies. The
damage you've inflicted, temporary wounds. I'm coming
back from the dead. And I'll take you home with me.
I'm taking back the life you stole. We never got that far.
This helps me to think all through the night. Bright lights
that won't kill me now or tell me how. Just you and I your
starless eyes remain. Hip hip hooray for me. you talk to
me, but would you kill me in my sleep. Lay still like the
dead from the razor to the rosary. We could lost ourselves
and paint these walls in pitchfork red. I will avenge my
ghost with every breath I take. I'm coming back from the
dead. And I'll take you home with me. I'm taking back
the life you stole. The hole you put me in..wasn't deep
enough and I'm climbing out right now. You're running
out of places to hide from me. When you go just know
that I will remember you. If living was the hardest part.
We'll then one day be together and in the end we'll fall
apart, just as the leaves change in color. And then I will
be with you. I will be there one last time now. When you
go. Just know that I will remember you. I've lost my
fear of falling........I will be with you.

11. _ Give'em hell, kid
oh baby here comes the sound
i took a train outta new orleans
and they shot me full of ephedrine
this is how we like to do it in the murder scene
can we settle up the score
if you were here i'd never have a fear
so go on live your life
but i miss you more than i did yesterday
you're beautiful
well i'm a total wreck and almost every day
like the firing squad or the mess you made
well don't i look pretty walking down the street
in the best damn dress i own
if you were here i'd never have a fear
so go on live your life
but i miss you more than i did yesterday
you're so far away
so c'mon show me how
cause i mean this more than words can ever say
we are young and we don't care
your dreams and your hopeless hair
we never wanted it to be this way
for all our lives
do you care at all?
if you were here i'd never have a fear
so go on live your life
but i miss you more than i did yesterday
you're so far away
so c'mon show me how
cause i mean this more than words can ever say

12. _ You know what they do to guys like us in prison
in the middle of a gunfight
in the center of a restaurant
they say
come with your arms raised high
well they're never gonna get me
like a bullet through a flock of doves
to wage this war against your
faith in me
your life will never be the same
on your mothers eyes
say a prayer
saw a prayer
now but i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us
well i can't
well i can
too much too late
or just not enough of this pain in my heart
for your dying wish
i'll kiss your lips again
they all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
my cellmates a killer
they make me do pushups in drag
but nobody cares if you're losing myself
am i losing myself and well
i miss my mom
will they give me the chair
or lethal injection
or swing from a rope if you dare
oh nobody knows all the trouble i seen
now but i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us
well i can't
well i can
too much too late
or just not enough of this pain in my heart
for your dying wish
i'll kiss your lips again
life is but a dream for the dead
and well i can't go down by myself
but i'll go down with my friends
take it like a man
now, now, now, now.........
