1. WASTED TIME

You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why cant I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day

I think back to the times
When dreams were what mattered
Tough talking youth naivete

You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Paranoid delusions they haunt you
Wheres my friend I used to know
Hes all alone
Hes buried deep within a carcass
Searching for a soul

Can you feel me inside your heart
As its bleeding
Why cant you belive you
Cant be loved

I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind

The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creations colors seem to fade to grey
And youll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end a memory

I never thought youd let it get
This far, boy


2. PSYCHO LOVE

Check out Clementine
Cleanin' needles in her wine
Face down in her one-eyed world
With her brain-dead valentine

She'll be your zombie, your livin' dead
Her sweet corruption
It's gonna make you, gonna break you
Ohh yeah, she said...

Haunt my house of pain
And feel my psycho love
We'll shine and pray for rain
To heal my psycho love

Legs at ten and two
Chain her down that's what you do
King Tut and snake-eyed slut
In the pink but screamin' blue

I'll taste your crazy, you smell insane
I'm just another ghost
Inside your spirits hall of fame

Haunt my house of pain
And feel my psycho love
We'll shine and pray for rain
To heal my psycho love

As the warm smooth soul
Chases through the cold silence
Of a body
A body of touch not feel
One question is she a stone in the
Devil's garden
Or a speck in an angels dust
Ashes to ashes
And lust to lust

She'll teach you true love
Watchin' you turn blue love
She'll wrap you in a chokehold
And suck your symptom dry


3. GET THE FUCK OUT (LIVE)

Your jokes ain't funny and there's nothin' you say that
I wanna hear
The sound of the door slammin'
Your ass out is music to my ears
If I can't beat you then I m gonna beat you to a pulp
So can the TV rays and take my tonsil glaze right down your throat

You're standin' to close what the fuck's with you
You ain't my old lady and you ain't a tattoo
No need to whimper no need to shout
This party s over so get the fuck out
Get the fuck out

Well I puke I stink bitch get me a drink 'cause
I'm payin' for the room
I ain't buying you breakfast so keep your mouth busy
And wrap your lips all
Around my attitiude
Take a walk with me with your triple double
Ds and your 40 foot do
Why you walkin' funny you must have spent some time
With the boys in the crew

You're standin' to close what the fuck's with you
You ain't my old lady and you ain't a tattoo
No need to whimper no need to shout
This party s over so get the fuck out
Get the fuck out

The morning's comin' in and this is my bed
If I find you here when I wake up
The maid is gonna find me dead.

You're standin' to close what the fuck's with you
You ain't my old lady and you ain't a tattoo
No need to whimper no need to shout
This party s over so get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out


4. HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN (SEX PISTOLS COVER)

A cheep holiday in other peoples misery

I don't wanna holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new belsen
I wanna see some history
'Cause now I got a reasonable economy

Now I got a reason, now I got a reason,
Now I got a reason and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason, now I got a reason to be waiting
The berlin wall

Sensurround sound in a two inch wall
Well I was waiting for the communst call
I didn't ask for sunshine and I got
World war three I'm looking over the wall
And they're looking at me

Now I got a reason, now I got a reason
Now I got a reason and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason, now I got a reason to be waiting
The berlin wall

Well they're staring all night and
They're staring all day
I had no reason to be here at all
But now I gotta reason it's no real reason
And I'm waiting at the berlin wall

Gotta go over the berlin wall
I don,t understand it...
I gotta go over the wall
I don't understand this bit at all...

Claustropfobia there's too much paranoia
There's to many closets I went in before and
Now I gotta reason, it's no real reason to be waiting
The berlin wall

Gotta go over the berlin wall
I don't understand it...
I gotta go over the wall
I don't understand this bit at all...

Please don't be waiting for me
