Lyrics


1. MEDS

I was alone, Falling free,
Trying my best not to forget
What happened to us,
What happened to me,
What happened as I let it slip.

I was confused by the powers that be,
Forgetting names and places.
Passers by were looking at me
As if they could erase it

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone,
Staring over the ledge,
Trying my best not to forget
All manner of joy
All manner of glee
And our one heroic pledge

How it mattered to us,
How it mattered to me,
And the consequences

I was confused,
By the birds and the bees
Forgetting if I meant it

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone,
Falling free,
Trying my best not to forget




2. INFRA-RED

On last thing before I shuffle off the planet
I will be the one to make you crawl
So I came down to wish you an unhappy birthday
Someone call the ambulance there's gonna be an accident

I'm coming up on infra-red,
There is no running that can hide you
Sause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red,
Forget your running, I will find you
One more thing before we start the final face off

I will be the one to watch you fall
So I came down to crash and burn your beggars banquet
Someone call the ambulance there's gonna be an accident
I'm coming up on infra-red,
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark

I'm coming up on infra-red,
Forget your running, I will find you
(I will find you!)
Someone call the ambulance there's gonna be an accident

I'm coming up on infra-red,
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red,
Forget your running, I will find you
Cause I can see in the dark

I'm coming up on infra-red,
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red,
Forget your running, I will find you
I will find you, I will find you




3. DRAG

You're always ahead of the game
I drag behind
You never get caught in the rain
When I'm drenched to the bone every time
You're the first one to swim across the Seine
I lag behind
You're always ahead of the game
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You're always ahead of the pack
I drag behind
You posses every trait that I lack
By coincidence or by design
You're the monkey I've got on my back
That tells me to shine
You're always ahead of the pack
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You're always ahead of the rest
When I'm always on time
You got As on your algebra tests
I failed and they kept me behind
I just gotta get off my chest
That I think you're divine
You're always ahead of the rest
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind




4. SPACE MONKEY

A Space Monkey in the place to be
Riding in a rocket to a planet of sound
She and the unplanned Dominos in drag
Increasing population of 100%

Space monkey in the place to be
With a chemical appeal
And a picture of me
Arm around in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature 100 degrees

We're sewn together
She's born to last my
Side of stronger
I die inside of her

A Space Monkey in the place to be
A mass of contradictions in golden frame
Raising the roof in a calamity way
Completely meretricious as a poke in the eye

Space monkey in the place to be
Talk of the town with a Colombian rock
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees

We're sown together
She's born mesmer
Beside astride her
I die inside her
It's far too sacred
Don't ever fake it
And don't, and don't, and don't let me down

Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before

Space monkey in the place to be
With some free-association and a hole in her head
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees

We're sown together
She's born mesmer
Beside astride her
I die inside her
It's far too sacred
Don't ever fake it
And don't, and don't, and don't let me down

Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before




5. FOLOLW THE COPS BACK HOME

The call to arms was never true,
Time to imbibe, here's to you,
I'll tell you stories bruised and blue,
Of drum machines and landslides.

Just one more round before we're through,
More psychedelic yuppie flu,
It's such a silly thing to do,
And now we're stuck on rewind..

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And rob their houses.

The call to arms was never true,
Let's take a ride and push it through,
Suspended animation glue,
Blame it on apartheid,

Let's spend the night in Jimmy Choo's,
I'll give you coats and cheap shampoo,
I'll give you nothing else to do,
And now we're stuck on rewind

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And Rob their houses

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And rob their houses

The call to arms was never true,
I'm medicated, how are you?
Let's take a dive swim right through,
Sophisticated points of view

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And Rob their houses

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And rob their houses




6. POST BLUE

It's in the water baby
It's in the pills that bring you down
It's in the water baby
It's in your bag of golden brown
It's in the water baby
It's in your frequency
It's in the water baby
It's between you and me

It's in the water baby
It's in the pills that pick you up
It's in the water baby
It's in the special way we fuck
It's in the water baby
It's in your family tree
It's in the water baby
It's between you and me

Bite the hand that feeds
Tap the vein that bleeds
Down on my bended knees

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

It's in the water baby
It's in the pills that bring you down
It's in the water baby
It's in your bag of golden brown
It's in the water baby
It's in your frequency
It's in the water baby
It's between you and me

Bite the hand that feeds
Tap the vein that bleeds
Down on my bended knees

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you




7. BECAUSE I WANT YOU

Fall into you, is all I seem to do
When I hit the bottle
'Cause I'm afraid to be alone

Tear us in two, is all it seems to do
As the anger fades
This house is no longer a home

Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting
And everything that's true
Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you

Stumble into you, is all I ever do
My memory's hazy
And I'm afraid to be alone

Tear us in two, is all it's gonna do
As the headache fades
This house is no longer a home

Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting
And everything that's true
Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you

Fall into you is all I ever do!
When I hit the bottle
'Cause I'm afraid to be alone

Tear us in two
Tear us in two
Tear us in two

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you




8. BLIND

If I could tear you from the ceiling,
And garantee a source divine,
Rid you off possessions fleeting,
Remain your funny valentine.

Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind,
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind.

If i could tear you from the ceiling,
I know the best have tried,
I'd fill your every breath with meaning,
And find a place we both could hide.

Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind,
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind.

You don't believe me, but you do this every time,
Please don't drive me blind..please don't drive me blind..

I know we're broken,
I know we're broken,
I know we're broken.

If I could tear you from the ceiling,
I'd freeze us both in time,
Find a brand new way fo seeing..
Your eyes forever glued to mine.

Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind,
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind.
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind,
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind.

I know I broke it,
I know I broke it,
I know I broke it,
I know I broke it




9. PIERROT THE CLOWN

Leave me dreaming on the bed
See you right back here tomorrow for the next round
Keep this scene inside your head
As the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling goes down

And if you're ever around
In the city or the suburbs of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in sorrow
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the Clown

Saw you crashing round the bay
Never seen you act so shallow
Or look so brown
Remember all the things you'd say
How your promises rang hollow
As you threw me to the ground

And if you're ever around
In the backstreets or the alleys of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in pity
And wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the Clown

When I dream I dream of your lips
When I dream I dream of your kiss
When I dream I dream of your fists
Your fists... Your fists

Leave me bleeding on the bed
See you right back here tomorrow for the next round
Keep this scene inside your head
As the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling goes down

And if you're ever around
In the city or the suburbs of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in sorrow
And wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the Clown
Like Pierrot the Clown
Like Pierrot the Clown
Like Pierrot the Clown
Like Pierrot the Clown




10. BROKEN PROMISE

We'll rise above this
We'll cry about this
As we live and learn
A broken promise
I was not honest
Now I watch as tables turn
And you're singing

I'll wait my turn to tear inside you
Watch you burn
I'll wait my turn
I'll wait my turn

I'll cry about this and hide my cuckold eyes
As you come off all concerned
I'll find no solace in your poor apology
In your regret that sounds absurd
Keep singing

I'll wait my turn to tear inside you
Watch you burn
I'll wait my turn to terrorize you
Watch you burn
I'll wait my turn
I'll wait my turn

A promise is a promise
A promise is a promise

I'll wait my turn to tear inside you
Watch you burn
I'll wait my turn
I'll wait my turn

A broken promise
You were not honest
I'll bide my time
I'll wait my turn




11. ONE OF A KIND

On top of the world you get nothing done
Talk is cold and burns like the sun
Can't you see these skies are breaking
Cause the top of the word is where I'm from
The back of the class is where I was
Keeping quiet playing dumb
Can't you see these skies are breaking
Cause the back of the class is where I'm from

And I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am

I'm on a race and it's killing time
I don't need yours i'll keep it with mine
Can't you see these skies are breaking
Cause I'm on a race and I'm doing fine, thank you
Two of a kind no one home
I'm in a crowd and I'm still alone
Can't you see the skies are breaking
Cause one of a kind is all I own

I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am

Out of the womb and into the void
I wanna try but I get annoyed
Can't you see these skies are breaking
Cause I'm out of the womb and into the void

I am one,
I am,
I am one,
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am

On top of the world you get nothing done




12. IN THE COLD LIGHT OF MORNING

In the cold light of morning
While everyone's yawning
You're high
In the cold light of morning
The party gets boring
You're high
As your skin starts a scratchin'
Wave yesterday's action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions and stolen possessions
You're high

In the cold light

In the cold light of morning
While everyone's yawning
You're high
In the cold light of morning
You're drunksick from whoring
And high
Staring back from the mirror's a face that you don't recognise
It's a loser, a sinner, a cock in a dildo's disguise

In the cold light

Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow

As your skin starts a scratchin'
Wave yesterdays action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions and stolen possessions
You're high
In the cold light of day
Tomorrow's only a kettle whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle away
In the cold light of day




13. SONG TO SAY GOODBYE

You are one of God's mistakes
You crying, tragic waste of skin
I'm well aware of how it aches
And you still won't let me in
Now I'm breaking down your door
To try and save your swollen face
Though I don't like you anymore
You lying, trying waste of space

My, oh my
A song to say goodbye
A song to say goodbye
A song to say -
Before our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And the voice that made me cry

My, oh my

You were mother nature's son
Someone to whom I could relate
Your needle and your damage done
Remains a sordid twist of fate
Now I'm trying to wake you up
To pull you from the liquid sky
'Cause if I don't we'll both end up
With just your song to say goodbye

My, oh my
A song to say goodbye
A song to say goodbye
A song to say
Before our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And the voice that made me cry

It's a song to say goodbye
