8 arms to hold you

Straight
You sleep better when your...
You eat better when your...
You sing better when your...
You need me more when you're straight
Is this the weekend...
Is that your girlfriend...
She's green and innocent
You smoke her like she's incense, you smile
Stay straight for me
I'll wait till summer's over
I'll love you through October
I'll give you everything
I'll trade you anything for her
Stay straight for me

Volcano Girls
Leave me, Lying here
Cause I don't want to go
Tell me, tell me what you really want from me
You've got to let me know
I'm falling off and I need you terribly
One down and one to go
Volcano Girls we really can't be beat
Warm us up and watch us blow
But now and then we fail and we admit defeat
We're falling off
We are watered down and fully grown
Leave me, lying here
cause I don't want to go
A million miles of running and I hit the wall
I bounce back and I run some more
But this is it I'm giving up I'm calling quits
So get down and meet me on the floor
Way to go way to flip off everyone
I steal your thunder then I try to bolt
But I could stand a little pity now and then
I'm falling off
I am watered down and fully grown
I told you about the seether before
You know the one that's neither or nor
Well here's another clue if you please
The seether's Louise...
Leave me, lying here
Cause I don't want to go

Don't Make Me Prove It
Zero one...two...three
Four days without you
Eight...nine
Now we're five times two
Words won't do, words won't do it
They can't stay true
Words won't get me through it
Honey please, seize me
I know what I need
Plan b, some security
Words won't do, words won't do it
They can't stay true
Words won't get me through it
Don't make me prove it
In the heat of the waiting
When I'm starting to stall
I can see what your saying,
But I don't hear you at all
Words won't do, words won't do it
They can't stay true
Words won't get me through it
Don't make me prove it

Awesome
Goodbye twenty-five,
you were a good year for the girls
Goodbye twenty-five,
you'll be the goldfinch, I'm the harpies
There's something in unity
Forget humility
What's coming over me is awesome
God forgive me I know it's so awesome
Heaven help me I know it's a fine place to be
Goodbye indolence,
your filthy left hand kept me down
Goodbye cowardice,
you'll be the Tigris, I'm Euphrates
There's something in the unity
Forget humility
What's coming over me is awesome
God forgive me I know it's so awesome
Heaven help me I know it's a fine place to be
There's something in the unity
What's coming over me
Go fuck humility
We're awesome, all the salts go
I know it's so awesome
Everybody, I know it's a fine place to be


One Last Time
I wind you up then I wait here for the melancholy
I give you up while you sit here in all your glory
I never thought you would
I never knew you could
But now you're gone and I don't think I care
I sold your love down the river for a bow and arrow
Euphoria has just been here and she's looking terrible
I've never sunk this low, it's better if you go
When you're nearby I see you and want you to try
To love me like a monster
One last time, Control me like a father
One last time, stay with me till I'm stronger
One last round to kick me when I'm down
Don't kick me when I'm down
I never thought you would
I never understood
And that's why I'm weak and I want you to try
To make me an example
One last time, to drag me through the cycle
One last time, to make me a disciple
One last round will get me to the ground
You'll get me on the ground
I'll see you around
Yeah, I'll see you around
One last town and I'll see you around

With David Bowie
Will it ever come, like it did for you
I kind of heard you singing
And I never knew, no I never knew
My heart skips around when I hear the sound
I'm never alone cause you're following me home
I'm falling in love my Walkman and me
With David Bowie
With teenage medication flowing through my veins
I can face the strain
It's causing a sensation
That I can explain, yeah I can explain
My heart skips around when I hear the sound
I'm never alone cause you're following me home
I'm falling in love my Walkman and me
With David Bowie
You want me to sing, I can, I can
You want me to play, I can, I can
You want to be in a band, I can
I'll never be anything more than I was today
Will it ever come, like it did for you
I kind of heard you singing
And I never knew, I never knew
My heart skips around when I hear the sound
I'm never alone cause you're following me home
I'm falling in love my best friend and me
With David Bowie
Him and me in a tree i-n-g

Benjamin
Take me away, I know I could use the rest
I want to clear up this mess
I need a few days with my good sense,
I need a few good days
Benjamin, no
Where did you go
When you were falling from my tree
I was not scared
I thought you'd meet me back up there
It never dawned on me you were home free,
It never dawned on me
Benjamin, no
Where did you go
You said that I could tie you down

Shutterbug
It's freezing in Bristol
There's love on the telly
A girl grinning at me
She's doing the shimmy
And she's cool
And she's skinny
And she's a fool for the last living rock king
It's her thrill
It's her wonder
It's her will
It's her way home
She's right where she always wanted to be
She can't change
It's lighting in London
There's shit on the telly
You're pushing my buttons
You know how to touch me
And I knew that you'd choose me
By the times that you tried to refuse me
It's your thrill
It's your wonder
It's your will
It's your way home
You're right where you always wanted to be
You can't change
It's morning in Philly
My heads feeling heavy
The sun makes me dizzy
You monkey you left me
And I know that you miss me
By the way that you kiss and resist me
It's my wonder
It's my will
It's my way home
I'm right where I always dreamed I would be
I can't change

The Morning Sad
Wake up and talk to me
It's a long time since last night
I know we said things, the saddest thing
And I'm not sure it was wise
But when the morning sad
You don't look back
Though you sure don't look ahead
The morning sad, you know the morning sad
The morning sad, never had it so bad
I'm writing desperate songs
While your fast asleep inside
I could try to sing until it rings
But my voice comes out uptight
Cause when the morning's sad
You don't relax
No you cannot clear your mind
The morning sad, you know the morning sad
The morning sad, never had it so bad
I tried a little, I tried a lot
I'm not a window
And you've seen through everything I got
I don't think that I'll be safe
Until everyone's awake
So wake up and talk to me
Such a long time since last night
I know we said things
The maddest things
And I'm not sure who was right
See the morning's sad
You don't attack
cause you're much too weak to fight
The morning sad, you know the morning sad
the morning sad, never had it so bad, never had it so bad

Sound of The Bell
I found a place where we can talk
I found a way to reach a middle ground
Keep your castle in my sandbox
Build it up so we can burn it down
Anyway I love my man
Love to keep him spinning round and round
Keep him feeding love from my hand
Anyway to turn him inside out
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't want to be found at the sound of the bell
Meet me up and down again
Everytime is sweeter then the last
Once you get a taste of impact
You're always hungry for the crash
I don't want to go down like the sunlight
I don't want to go out like the moonlight
I don't want to be found at the sound of the bell
And this is everything I have loved,
Yeah I have loved
Down...
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
I don't wanna be found in the searchlight
I don't wanna be dim like the nightlight

Loneliness Is Worse
When you've had enough
When you've got it bad enough,
And you can't let go
When it comes to blow
And you start to overflow,
and you can't get home
It's a subtle kind of cruel it taps my spine
Here I'm drawing a line,
I'm asking please
Don't you want to be happy with me
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've got to try
December's all alone
And he's calling me on the phone
But he sounds so cold
He says he loves me so
But how will I ever know
Certain words grow old
It's a vicious kind of catch
It sides me blind
Now I'm out of my mind
I want to scream
Don't you want to be happy with me
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've got to try
Love liked me long ago
It had a way of making me everyone the same
But now the angels must laugh and sigh to hear me pleading with you
Needing you this way
Oh why don't you want to be happy with me
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've got to try to stay mine, all the way

Stoneface
You didn't notice I was gone
Guess you were tying up your arm
And when I stand on my head,
You never react
I can't get you to crack,
Not one fucking smile
But when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I wanna be smack dab with him
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love it
A snakey goddess got my man
That kind of love don't understand him
And when I swallow my gum,
You never react
I can't get you to crack,
Not one fucking smile
But when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I wanna be smack dab with him
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love it
Swallow hard, until you
I'll be the one to thrill you
I'll be the first to kill you
And if you won't die, I will
When I short sheet the bed
You never react
I can't get you to crack,
Not one fucking smile
But when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I wanna be smack dab with him
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love it

Venus Man Trap
Waiting for opportunity to strike
I have been your biggest fan
What a tour
A little blow to cure your fright
It's what it takes to trap a man
Water me
I am not a desert plant
And there was life before you
When I close,
Will I wear my blue eyes
When I open,
this time
When I close,
Or should I wear my green eyes
When I open,
That shine and shine
In my room
Underneath the microscope
I remember how I felt
I thought you knew
I was always full of hope
But you could only help yourself
When I close,
Will I wear my blue eyes
When I open,
This time
When I close,
Or should I wear my green eyes
When I open,
That shine and shine

Earthcrosser
Sleep, little flea
Little boy me, a freak Am I clean
I feel like men
I feel like boys
I think I'm peeling
The ringing in my ears,
from playing to loud
I hear the ocean,
I hear the crowd
I'm disconnected
I am unattached
An unmade bed,
Makes me feel like a failure
Bedroom eyes,
Lead to blurry vision
And the ringing in my ears,
From playing to loud
I hear the ocean,
I hear the crowd
Too pale, to sick
Too scrawny, but I'll sleep here, anyways
And the sheets smell like bodies
Not mine, not yours, not yours
It's two AM
And it's quiet again
Where's my lip gloss
