Oh My

The ivory tower's been holding me
hostage with no company
The rain's been falling down for weeks
The voices come like usual
I start to shake down to the bone
The lights they crash and shatter to the floor
(chorus)
Tell me why'd you plant that in my head?
I think I've gone and lost my way again
Oh my I think I'm down again
A thousand pardoned miseries
unburdened by your subtleties
I want to fill my heart with cigarettes
There's love in need there's love indeed
I'm hoping for my bitter seed
to bear it's bloom when the sun comes shining down
Slap back on the microphone
you wanna leave it now wanna leave me alone
it's your favorite song
you're venemous it's alright
Let's try and go out tonight we'll make it all night yeah

Marry Go Round
04:56
|
|||
|
She's not a baby machine
more like an angry queen
dressed up to be my doll
in a vicious game
Human tic-tac-toe
always ends the same
I've got innocence to sell
Let's find a seedy motel
How can you feel so good
and so bad at the same time
I wish that we could be friends
but I'd rather make you cry
So I'm back on the marry go round
around and round we go
medicated sex for rage
there's got to be a way
to make it stop some day
How can you feel so good
and so bad at the same time?
I wish that we could be friends
but I'd rather make you mine
and that's a waste of time
So I'm back on the marry go round
around and round we go
medicated sex for rage
there's got to be a way
to make you mine some day
Now's when I come clean
I didn't mean a thing
I told you that I was nice
You should know that that's a lie
I just wanted you to disappear
And now that you're gone
the pain lingers on
I miss you so much
I'm starving for your touch
Now I ride the marry go round
around and round I go
medicated sex no rage
there's got to be a way to make it stop some day
there's got to be a way to make it stop some day
there's got to be a way to make it stop some day
there's got to be a way to make it stop some day
there's got to be a way to make it stop some day
there's got to be a way to make it stop some day

King of Spades
04:05

What are you doing up on your throne
feeling so sorry for yourself alone
you're acting out your talk is so loud
Nothing can save you unless you give out
Come on begin to look from within
You've made up your bed you can lie in it now
Will the sun come out this morning
If the heart breaks down without a warning
And it takes all night to ignore it
Will the sun come out this morning
What'd you expect the world to do
Open its doors and lay down for you
You can destroy but can you invent
a new place can you handle the rent
Come on begin to look from within
You used to be King but hey you're not now
Christmas time is coming soon
There's no money for gifts
You may feel ashamed that don't matter today
Well that's just it
The life that you choose is the life that you get
So get off your throne put out that cigarette

Devil Inside Me
02:58
|
|||
|
I was born with the Devil inside me
He made my momma feel my pain and scream
He told me that's the way it's supposed to be
And when I'm crying he would comfort me
Soon he became my only true friend
He told that I'd heal in the end
He whispered to me that I'm not alone
And sang me this song while he took my soul
Then came along a perfect angel girl
With a smile like sun and long black curls
And I saw heaven for the first time
So the Devil made me go blind
Then I and I went and broke that poor girl's heart
He told me not to trust her from the start
Man oh man he's got a hold on me
God damned Devil will never set me free

Stephanie Hill
02:49
|
|||
|
I was hiding in a garden with a girl
you can call her Stephanie Hill
We made our bed with roses and thorns
she gave me heavenly thrills
Oooh Stephanie Hill
She knew me so well
She had eyes like diamonds
that cut me when I looked too long
I could see my future
my need for her was way too strong
Oooh Stephanie Hill
She knew me so well
In the spring the roses bloom
It reminds me of you
Stephanie Hill
I've got a trap door heart
protected by a steel smoke
and rib cage
She reached out
and held on for a moment
and then I pushed her away
Oooh Stephanie Hill
She knew me too well

So Long Caroline
03:18
|
|||
|
On an airplane
shiny bird
sky on my back
I'm never looking back
(chorus)
So long Caroline
I'm headed where the sun always shines
So long endless highway road
There ain't nowhere left to go
There's so many people
I call friends
And that we'll be
till the bitter end
(chorus)
I must confess
I fell off again
Lord I wish she'd take that make-up off
She looks better when I'm gone

Fix You
02:08
|
|||
|
I can't fix you
But I can fix myself a drink
and try and forget before I sleep
your salty taste so sweet
I'd like to ignore all the things
that were said
and try again to let those strings
tie you up in knots
What'd you been up to
with your team of psychiatrists
We joined the circus
and got trampled by elephants
So clearly I must ask
is my head screwed on straight
if I think that it's not too late
to make amends
I can't fix your fear
I can't fix your tears
I can't fix your jaded heart
But I just might be able
to make you laugh
if you don't want to be apart
Where there's a will there's a way
I know, that's a cliche
Hiding from you everyday
Where there's a pill there's a way

This Is Your Last Song
03:27
|
|||
|
Moving on is too hard
When everywhere I turn you're there
I've got pictures of you burned into my mind
and it's not fair
You don't have to be afraid
that my love will change
I'm hooked on you now
but I'll take a bow
Even if it's not fair
Cause everything has to change
Why do you want it to stay the same
I'm a runaway train, a big jet plane
going down
And it's not fair
Now it's time to decide
Either him or I
But you already chose
Which way to go
And it's not fair
So goodbye goodbye goodbye
This is your last song
My love will linger on
And I apologize
for trying to make you mine
I know
That it's not fair
