cherub rock

freak out and give in
doesn't matter what you believe in
stay cool and be somebody's fool this year
'cause they know who is righteous, what is bold
so i'm told

who wants honey
as long as there's some money
who wants that honey?

hipsters unite
come align for the big fight to rock for you
but beware all those angels with there wings glued on
'cause deep down we are frightened and we're scared
if you don't stare

let me out

tell me all of your secrets
cannot help but believe this is true
tell me all of your secrets
i know, i know, i know,
should have listened when i was told


quiet

quiet... i am sleeping
in here we need a little hope
for years i've been sleeping
helpless couldn't tell a soul

be ashamed of the mess you've made
my eyes never forget, you see behind me

silent metal mercies
castrate boys to the bone
jesus, are you listening?
up there to anyone at all

we are the fossils the relics of our time
we mutilate the meanings so they're easy to deny

be ashamed of the mess you've made
my eyes never forget, you see behind me

quiet... i am sleeping
quiet... i am sleeping
quiet... i don't trust you
i can't hear you

be ashamed of the mess you've made
my eyes never forget, you see behind me

behind me
the grace of falling snow
cover up everything you know
come save me from the awful sound
of nothing


today

today is the greatest day i've ever known
can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much too long
i'll burn my eyes out before i get out
i wanted more than life could ever grant me
bored by the chore of saving face

today is the greatest day i've ever known
can't wait for tomorrow i might not have that long
i'll tear my heart out before i get out
pink ribbon scars that never forget
i tried so hard to cleanse these regrets
my angel wings were bruised and restrained
my belly stings

today is... today is... today is... the greatest day

i want to turn you on
i want to turn you on
i want to turn you on
i want to turn you

today is the greatest
today is the greatest day
today is the greatest day
that i have ever really known


hummer

faith lies in
the ways of sin
i chased the charmed
but i don't want them anymore

and in their eyes i was alive
a fool's disguise
take me away from you

shame my tongue
fat with promise all along
but when i woke up from that sleep
i was happier than i'd ever been

when you decide
that your life is a prize
renew and revive
it's alright honey
it's alright, yeah

happiness will make you wonder
will i feel ok?
it scares the disenchanted
far away

yeah i want something new
but what am i supposed to do about you
yeah i love you, it's true

life's a bummer
when you're a hummer
life's a drag

ask yourself a question
anyone but me
i ain't free

ask yourself a question
anyone but me
i ain't free

do you feel
love is real?


rocket

bleed in your own light
dream of your own life
i miss me
i miss everything i'll never be
and on, and on

i torch my soul to show the world that i am pure
deep inside my heart... no more lies

a crown of horns, an image formed deformed
the mark i've borne a mark of scorn to you

consume my love, devour my hate
only powers my escape
the moon is out, the stars invite
i think i'll leave tonight

so soon i'll find myself alone
to relax and fade away
do you know what's coming down
do you know i couldn't stay free?

i shall be free
i shall be free free
free of those voices inside me


disarm

disarm you with a smile
and cut you like you want me to
cut that little child
inside of me and such a part of you
ooh, the years burn

i used to be a little boy
so old in my shoes
and what i choose is my choice
what's a boy supposed to do?
the killer in me is the killer in you
my love, i send this smile over to you

disarm you with a smile
and leave you like they left me here
to wither in denial
the bitterness of one who's left alone
ooh, the years burn
ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

i used to be a little boy
so old in my shoes
and what i choose is my voice
what's a boy supposed to do?
the killer in me is the killer in you
my love, i send this smile over to you

the killer in me is the killer in you
send this smile over to you


soma

nothing left to say
and all i've left to do is run away from you
and she led me on, down with secrets i can't keep
close your eyes and sleep
don't wait up for me
hush now don't you speak to me

wrapped my hurt in you
and took my shelter in that pain
the opiate of blame is your broken heart, your heart

so now i'm all by myself as i've always felt
i'll betray my tears to anyone caught in our ruse of fools

one last kiss for me... yeah
one last kiss good night

didn't want to lose you once again
didn't want to be your friend
fulfilled a promise made of tin
and crawled back to you

i'm all by myself as i've always felt
i'll betray myself to anyone, lost, anyone but you

so let the sadness come again
on that you can depend on me, yeah
until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
when god sleeps in bliss

and i'm all by myself as i've always felt
and i'll betray myself to anyone


geek u.s.a

lover lover let's pretend we're born as innocents
cast into the world with apple eyes
to wish wish dangerous my dear delirious
to try and leave the rest of us behind

shot full of diamonds and a million years
the disappointed disappear like they were never here

kiss kiss all of this the hiss that we had missed
and understand what can't be understood
sear those thoughts of me
alone and unhappy i never liked me anyway

if by chance or circumstance
we should fail don't be so sad

shot full of diamonds and a million years
the disappointed disappear like they were never here

in a dream we are connected siamese twins at the wrist
and then i knew we'd been forsaken expelled from paradise
i can't believe them when they say that it's alright

words can't define what i feel inside
who needs them?
caught with this virus of my mind
i give in to my disease, of my needs
to my disease, of my needs

she really loves to break her dad says its ok
she really loves to break and give it all away
her ma says she's afraid what more can she fake
she really needs to break and give herself away
she gave it all away
she gave it all away
she gave it all away
we really love the usa


mayonaise

fool enough to almost be it
cool enough to not quite see it... doomed
pick your pockets full of sorrow
and run away with me tomorrow... june

we'll try and ease the pain
but somehow we'll feel the same
well, no one knows where our secrets go

i send a heart to all my dearies
when your life is so, so dreary... dream
i'm rumored to the straight and narrow
while the harlots of my perils... scream

and i fail but when i can, i will
try to understand that when i can, i will

mother weep the years i'm missing
all our time can't be given... back
shut my mouth and strike the demons
that cursed you and your reasons
out of hand and out of season
out of love and out of feeling

so bad when i can, i will
words defy the plans when i can, i will

fool enough to almost be it
and cool enough to not quite see it
and old enough to always feel this
always old, i'll always feel this
no more promise no more sorrow
no longer will i follow
can anybody hear me
i just want to be me
when i can, i will
try to understand
that when i can, i will


spaceboy

feel it, break your bones, mr. jones
taste me as i bleed, taste my need

and spaceboy i've missed you
spinning round my head
and anyway you choose me
you'll break instead

watch me, death defy, defile my life
i don't need, i don't care, please
i want to go home
i want to go home
i want to go home
i want to go home
cause when a lover aches
that's when a lover breaks
i want to go home
i want to go home

and spaceboy they'll kill me
before i'm dead and gone
and any way you choose me
it won't be wrong
and anyway you choose me
we won't belong


silverfuck

i hear your winter
i hear you rain
i've failed your summer ways
and i feel no pain

i hear what you are
and i feel no pain
i hear what you are
and i feel no pain

i hear you fade away
and i hear you crawl
i gave my life away
and i feel no pain
and i feel no pain
and i feel no pain
and i feel your pain

and she was my lover so sweet
and she was my angel
and what i've recovered of me
i put into a box underneath my bed

when you lie in your bed
and you lie to yourself
when you lie in your bed
and you lie to yourself

bang bang you're dead hole in your head
bang bang you're dead hole in your head
bang bang you're dead hole in your head
bang bang you're dead hole in your head

i hear what you are
and i feel no pain
i hear what you are
and i feel no pain


sweet sweet

sweet sweet sweet sweet little agony
i don't know just where you've been
but i'll take take take
all that you have for me in sin
where are we going?

and they all want you to change
and they all want you to change

and the sad sad sad
all the sad faces drown in this town
where are we going?

and they all want you to change
where are we going?
and they all want you to change
where are we going?


luna

what moonsongs do you sing your babies?
what sunshine do you bring?
who belongs, who decides who's crazy
who rights wrongs where others cling?

i'll sing for you
if you want me to i'll give to you
and it's a chance i'll have to take
and it's a chance i'll have to break

i go along just because i'm lazy
i go along to be with you
and those moonsongs that you sing your babies
will be the songs to see you through

i'll hear your song
if you want me to i'll sing along
and it's a chance i'll have to take
and it's a chance i'll have to break

i'm in love with you
i'm in love with you
i'm in love with you

i'm in love with you
so in love
i'm in love with you
with you
i'm in love with you
