Get Back
I'm spinning out, I can't control my car.
It doesn't matter and you think you might be you are.
I misplace it and I don't know where it's at,
And I could find it but I'd never get it back...
Don't get it back
Don't get it back
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back.
I'm running out, I don't know when to stop.
I thought I'd wait until I saw the penny drop.
It started raining, pennies falling in my lap,
And I could spend it, but I'd never get it back...
Don't get it back
Don't get it back
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back.
Don't get it back
Don't get it back
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get it back.
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get it back.
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back.
I'm spinning out, I can't control my car.

All Hail Me
Yeah.
So sorry, lady.
So sorry now.
I've killed your baby.
I don't know how.
So sorry, so sorry now.
So sorry, so sorry now.
So sorry mister.
But don't look now, I got your sister.
I shot her down.
So sorry, so sorry now.
So sorry, so sorry now.
Cuz I'm a bad man, I do what I can.
I'm a bad man, I do what I can.
I'm a bad man, I do what I can.
All hail me.
So sorry mother.
I've let you down.
I'm soaked in blood here.
I can't get out
So sorry, so sorry now.
So sorry, so sorry now.
So sorry, so sorry now.
Cuz I'm a bad man, I do what I can.
I'm a bad man, I do what I can.
I'm a bad man, I do what I can.
All hail me.
All hail me.
(oh, I'm melting)
(melt your baby)
(that did not hurt so bad)

Seether
Seether is neither loose nor tight.
Seether is neither black nor white.
I tried to keep her on a short leash,
I tried to calm her down.
I tried to ram her into the ground, yeah.
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth
Seether is neither big nor small.
Seether is the center of it all.
I tried to rock her in my cradle,
I tried to knock her out.
I tried to cram her back in my mouth, yeah.
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth
Keep her down, boiling water,
Keep her down, what a lovely daughter.
Oh, she is not born like other girls,
But I know how to conceive her.
Oh she may not look like other girls,
But she's a snarl-toothed seether, seether!
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth
Seether
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
Can't fight the Seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth
Yeah.

Spiderman '79
You're so nice, you tie me in a web
And cradle me till dawn.
You're so deadly that I can see your breath
Beneath me when you're gone.
You're so windy, I'd like to pin you down
And tack you to the wall,
Spiderman.
Spider Sunday, you blaze up from the south
With oil on your hands.
I'm streaked in grease and grime and idle mouths.
You've spoiled all my plans,
Spiderman.
I can't take more of that.
I can't take more of that.
I can't take more of that.
I can't take more of that.
Tiny truckstop, you lay me in a towel
And savor me like a lamb.
You smell of corduroy and lemon drops
And reds pulled from a can.
I dream in black and white,
I've long forgot exactly who I am,
A Spiderman.

Forsythia
Yellow baby, a yellow baby is a bad sign.
But I don't mind, I don't mind.
Ohh, Forsythia.
Spider monkey, a spider monkey is a good lie.
But I don't know why.
Ohh, Forsythia.
I don't mind sitting in the way, way back.
I don't mind lying to my friends.
One thing about Forsythia,
She comes around and I get lost
Against her yellow I'm no longer me.
Yellow daisy, a dandelion or a pussy willow,
It's a different thing.
Oh-oh, Forsythia.
One thing about Forsythia,
She comes around and I get lost
Against her yellow I'm no longer me.
One thing about Forsythia...
There's one thing about Forsythia...

Wolf
That was a time for falling
I knew you well.
There was no time for calling
Me when you fell.
This is a time to take cover
In a wishing well.
Summer was blowing all over me
When you fell.
Sailors can take all the breathing
Out of the sail.
I took a trip when you needed me...
When you fell,
Waters were driving me
To a deep place;
I close my eyes to see
Your sweet face.
A coke inside me,
I slept in hell...
Angels can be so deceiving
When they love you well.
Did you think you would be leaving me?
These are some lavender flowers
In a broken shell;
They comfort me ever since the day when you fell.
When you fell,
Waters were dancing me
In a dark place,
I close my eyes to see
Your determined face,
My secret inside me
I slept in hell...
This a time for believing
In fairy tales -
One in which you are brought back to me.
Wolf, I cried wolf.

Celebrate You
I wear my patent leather shoes
And my golden fleeces,
A feather in my hair for you
And then I fall to pieces
At your celebration
Celebration
Celebrate you.
We're quiet as two mannequins
Feasting on silences.
We wait for Christmas to begin
To see the cracking faces.
I tip my glass and toast to you,
The blood spills on the carpet
At your celebration
Celebration
Celebrate you.
And in the dream you held a gun;
You killed off all who hurt you
And left me there the only one
Who would not dare desert you.
I'm safe here growing in the shade,
Away from all your brightness.
I lost my innocence today
When I learned how to write this.
Tonight my nightgown is in knots.
I toss and turn in your honor.
I'll never know just what I have got
As long as you're my father.
And I'll keep searching here for you,
I'll clean out every corner.
It's not my fault.

Fly
Twice bitten, twice baked.
Twice led down the same mistake.
Try me on a Saturday, try me.
Try me.
Fine fool for a holiday
Slow sun in a Spanish way
One heart for one week of May, why me?
Why me?
Twice given to yesterday
Right for a foray with fate.
Fly me home to heaven's gate, fly me.
Fly me. Fly...
Twice bitten, twice baked.
Twice led down the same mistake.
Try me on a Saturday, try me.
Try me.
Try me,
try me.

Number One Blind
Be my blind.
Be it all the time.
Be it night or day.
Take my sun away, away.
Levelor, which of us is blind?
Levelor, left me in the dark.
Levelor, I can't see a thing but you.
Is it morning?
Blind me, please.
I am on my hands and knees.
I can only pray.
Take my sun away.
Away.
Levelor, which of us is blind?
Levelor, left me in the dark.
Levelor, I can't see a thing but you.
Is it morning?
Is it time?
Is it time? Oh. Oh.
Levelor, which of us is blind?
Levelor, left me in the dark.
Levelor, I can't see a thing but you.
Is it morning?
Levelor, which of us is blind?
Levelor, left me in the dark.
Levelor, I can't see a thing but you is it morning?
Levelor.

Victrola
You're so wonderful, I adore you,
I adore you, I adore you, Victrola.
You're so audio, don't remove me,
To a movie, I am grooving, Victrola.
Happy New Year
You're my winter love,
I can lie here
With you so near
We both live here
Happy New Year,
You're my sweet dear Victrola
Victrola

Twinstar
Flying, when all I want to do is die.
Feels like you're flyin',
Oh God, I wish that I could fly.
You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways, oh.
Breathing (breath out), when all I want to do is drown.
You keep on breathing and I keep on sinking down, oh.
You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways.
I'm stuck in my ways, oh.
You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see.
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways.
I'm stuck in my ways.
I'm stuck in my ways, oh.

25
I'm afraid I will never change. It's okay, I am not ashamed. I can say that my bed is made.
You can bend me, shape me any way. You can bend me, shape me any way you want me.
I maintain I am not in pain. How I try not to place the blame. I came late to an early game.
You can bend me, shape me any way.
You can bend me, shape me any way. You can bend me, shape me any way. You can bend me,
shape me any way you want me.
When I was 5, I took a dive. When I was 10, I walked again. When I was 15, I kept my motor
clean. When I was 20, I got plenty. When I was 25

Sleep Where I Want
This is my favorite disease,
I am sleeping in his dreams.
It is seeping into me
It is guiding my dreams
It is only three
So its Jeopardy
You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to.
This is my favorite time.
I can sleep until the phone rings
And I doubt that it will.
You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to.
