I see your shadow on the street now I hear you push through the rusty gate Click of your heels on the concrete Waiting for a knock coming way too late It seems an age since I've seen you Countdown as the weeks trickle into days So you come in and put your bags down I know there's something in the air How can I do this to you right now If you're over there when I need you here My happiness is slowly creeping back Now you're at home If it ever starts sinking in It must be when you pack up and go It seems an age since I've seen you Countdown as the weeks trickle into days I hope that time hasn't changed you All I really want is for you to stay So you come in and put your bags down I know there's something in the air How can I do this to you right now You're over there when I need you here My happiness is slowly creeping back Now you're at home If it ever starts sinking in It must be when you pack up and go My happiness is slowly creeping back Now you're at home If it ever starts sinking in It must be when you pack up and go You're over there when I need you here I know I know I know what is inside I know I know I know what is inside I know I know I know what is inside I know I know I know what is inside You're over there when I need you here My happiness is slowly creeping back Now you're at home If it ever starts sinking in Must be when you pack up and go My happiness is slowly creeping back Now you're at home If it ever starts sinking in It must be when you pack up and go

Astray between nights You twisting my hands Through walls and bleeding fingertips We would dance Footsteps never guided so charmingly Drawing me towards A parallel And through A shining reflection I'm forced to watch myself My own apparition dancing inside my eyes Footsteps never guided so charmingly Drawing me towards A parallel And through A shining reflection Forced to watch myself Forced to watch myself My own apparition dancing inside my eyes

There was no ethereal whooshing When the revelation came to me Sat all with a lemon The point is not the point The man who stead and goes Passes your psychopath test The man who stead and goes Past the point is not the point The point is not the point The point is not the point There was no ethereal whooshing When the revelation came to me Pillars of the earth I get at its wealth The man who stead and goes And passes your psychopath test The man who stead and goes Past the point is not the point The point is not the point The point is not the point

Come and have a look Beside me A fine line of tears Part company That's her handwriting That's the way she writes From the first letter I got to this Her Bill of Rights Part company And what will I miss Her cruelty Her unfaithfulness Her fun, her love, her kiss Part company That's her handwriting That's the way she writes Like mud in the September rain it comes Back to me Part Part I said part Part company made her men disappear Cut my swath And spread my fear Before we'd met I hadn't wiped my feet Seen myself naked or Part company And I said it before Do I have to say it again A fine line of tears Part company That's her handwriting That's the way she writes From her first words to this Our last night Part Part I said part Part company Made her men disappear Cut my swath And spread my fear Part company Part company Part company

Hide away from what you see today Keep hiding all your footprints in the dark Shy away from duties of today Keep hiding all your footprints in the dark We’re so dangerous Hiding for another day Why not try and change things Living is the hardest thing Run away from what you need to say Keep hiding all your footprints in the dark Dream away the terror of today Keep hiding all your footprints in the dark We’re so dangerous Hiding for another day Why not try and change things Living is the hardest thing It has begun Changes will come Look to the sun And see what follows Change draws near Future is here Run from the sun And see what follows

They hold my face down feeling straight now with little yellow drips They make me wait around in this state now in the bed with him And these diet pills that I take down I coulda been real thin And I’ll go back later I need to pay the rent Don’t stick it in My neck's too raw My neck's too thin I know you wanna waste it just pull my hair and then go back in Don’t stick it in My neck's too raw My neck's too thin I know ya wanna hate it just pull my hair and then go back in Feels different now there’s drips allowed with loaded fits And I’m baked up and caked up in this fellas bin Trash bagged with the new scag Feeling different again Staying in with old Dick He’s getting up again Don’t stick it in My neck's too raw My neck's too thin I know you wanna taste me just pull my hair and then go back in Don’t stick it in My neck's too raw My neck's too thin I know ya wanna hate it I know ya wanna hate it I know ya wanna hate it I know ya wanna hate it I know ya wanna hate it

I don't know why it's up in the air again I don't know why it's up in the air again I don't know why it's up in the air again It's up in the air again Up in the air again Up in the air again I don't know why I'm getting arrogant I don't know why I'm getting arrogant I don't know why I'm getting arrogant I'm getting arrogant I'm getting arrogant I'm getting arrogant Grinding my teeth Losing my sleep Losing my friends It never ends It never ends I don't know why I'm getting paranoid I don't know why I'm getting paranoid I don't know why I'm getting paranoid I'm getting paranoid I'm getting paranoid I'm getting paranoid I don't know why I'm getting vain again I don't know why I'm getting vain again I don't know why I'm getting vain again I'm getting vain again I'm getting vain again I'm getting vain again Grinding my teeth Losing my sleep Losing my friends It never ends It never ends

I smell your perfume around the Spahn Ranch trees The weeping willow often weeps with me And every single day I say a little prayer for thee But sometimes I think I wanna jump right into the sea Why oh why, oh why oh why Why was my Charlie crucified Now I hurt real bad inside I want Charlie back Tonight They stole from you the best years of your life But then they did the same to Jesus Christ Now every single day I say a little prayer for thee But sometimes I think I wanna jump right into the sea Why oh why, oh why oh why Why was Charles Manson crucified Now I hurt real bad inside Oh I want Charlie back Arise, arise, you women and men Charles Manson rots in San Quentin We all feel the loss of real good friend Oh I want Charlie back Tonight I want Charlie back I want Charlie back I want Charlie back I want Charlie back I want Charlie back

I sit thankful in a tangle of doubtful innocence A woman older takes my shoulder and pulls me from the fence Her dress is black so black and white of earth and heaven both A body tainted with the scars of a steady solid growth And I feel so cold There are wanton truths in my bones All the words and all the whispers won't be heard tonight For I'm a courting my own shadow naked in this light My arms are thrown up in the air My body's filled with no despair And when I wake you're lying there And I feel so cold There are wanton truths in my bones If my presence fills you half as much as yours does me I could want for nothing more than just to let this be If my presence fills you half as much as yours does me I could want for nothing more than just to let this be

Let’s retire to lick each other’s wounds All of my troubles fade from black to blue to Yellow roses blooming under my skin I planted all these flowers here for you Deploy my secret weapon Deploy my secret weapon Deploy my secret weapon It looks real ugly but it Don’t hurt much And I gotta feel a human touch Beat myself Beat myself Beat myself It’s the only way that I can win Beat myself Beat myself Beat myself It’s the only way that I can win The way to my heart is through my chest I’ve made a relief map outta my flesh I mark the spot with X Let’s have sex It looks like mincemeat But it feels like love And I gotta feel a human touch Beat myself Beat myself Beat myself It’s the only way that I can win Beat myself Beat myself Beat myself It’s the only way that I can win This is how I make a lasting impression I push the button on your secret weapon This thick skin is so easily broken C’mon baby I’m wide open It looks real ugly but it Don’t hurt much And I gotta feel a human touch Beat myself Beat myself Beat myself It’s the only way that I can win Beat myself Beat myself Beat myself It’s the only way that I can win Beat myself Beat myself Beat myself It’s the only way that I can win

Mothers love their children Even when they're violent Cause all good Sons and daughters Love the ones they look like Fathers keep their kids safe On the street Men died Cause all good Sons or fathers Know that kids are frightened Of them Went home with your rocket But a nearing spirit Survived a death adder But you drowned in liquid You learned from your father How to husband animals And I learned from my father That I'm more than an animal Jesus you’re a fire In my foreskin everyday Burning Oh you’re burning Till only you remain

The chefs are in the alleyway throwing down They're high on PCP when I'm around They don't recall a thing or their favourite meal Till they are coming down You smack me in the eyes and take my sight You cut my world in half Baby you're my knife I bag a lazy spine I can take my life When I am coming down When I am coming down When I am coming down You amputate my hands and they grow back There's phantoms to replace the world I had I'm too lazy to invent a brand new myth When I am coming down The scenery of saints in stained-glass walls You get a little badge and you stand tall You're knee-deep in this shit of suburban sprawl When you are coming Oh you are coming down Oh you are coming down You've got a soft spot for hard stuff You've got a soft spot for hard stuff You've got a soft spot for hard stuff You've got a soft spot for hard stuff And you are coming down Oh you are coming down Oh you are coming down

I sucked a lot of cock to get where I am I only want to be the best that I can My mouth is stained I can't complain Just keep on rinsing out again and again I know I know I know I know Take a look at me Tell me what do you see I've got all I want I'm on top of the heap Now they suck up to me I sucked more cock You can get what you need Just get down on your knees You've sucked a lot of cock to get where you are Your smile is stretching and you're gonna go far Your life is pain you can't complain Just keep on rinsing out again and again I know I know I sucked a lot of cock to get where I am I know I know I only want to be the best that I can I know I know I sucked a lot of cock to get where I am I know I know I only want to be the best that I can I know I know I sucked a lot of cock to get where I am I know I know I only want to be the best that I can I know I know I know I know

Hung out in heaven And that was enough Now you're familiar With devils and such You can't say I should be used to this stuff Now you're familiar With devils and such Well it takes so long To get back to the flood It takes so long To get back to the flood It feels so good When it's covering us It feels so good When it's covering us It feels so good When you light me up It feels so good I'm thinking that is enough Well I can't say That I'm used to this stuff Hanging in the lowlight Liking it rough It takes so long To get back to the flood It takes so long To get back to the flood It feels so good When it's covering us It feels so good When it's covering us Well you might say I'll be late for the train And I might say Let's just do it again Well I can't say I'm not feeling the strain And I can't say I'm not loving the rain Well it takes so long To get back to the flood It takes so long To get back to the flood It feels so good When it's covering us It feels so good When it's covering us

Oh how I cried When you died Oh how I cried Cos I ain’t that hopeful I’ll ever see you again Yeah I’m pretty sure We’ll go through different doors When we get to the end To the end So it’s been nice knowing you I hope I see you again Yeah it’s been nice knowing you  I hope I see you All again my friends At the end At the end At the end I said I warned you At the end We went walking in the park Held hands in the dark Gave you a ride home And we held each other tight As I slept through the night I said I loved you Said I warned you That I need you I feel it coming on Said I warned you That I need you I feel it coming on It’s the end It’s the end It’s the end
