STAB 03:49
(Goodbye sun, goodbye moon I'm coming to where you are soon Take a picture, make a wish I've never felt as sure as this) I've got a fetish, love is pathetic And the world's about to end. I'm up in the attic, With Dad's automatic And a note writ on my hand. I've got sisters and brothers Same as my mother Won't get off my case In the papers tomorrow They'll fake all their sorrow Then they'll leave me here to waste Rest me in pieces now, and cauterize your love for me (your love, your love) Rest me in pieces now, and vaporize my history (my history) Now take another stab at my heart. I'm feeling sorry, nobody wants me I'm gonna eat some steel Adrenaline's peakin' Logic is tweakin' Life's never felt so real I'm so sick of Al Qaeda They're entertainers Playin' on people's fear So I'm fucking the system I'm not a victim I'm getting out of here Rest me in pieces now, and cauterize your love for me (your love, your love) Rest me in pieces now, and vaporize my history (my history) Now take another stab at my heart. Take another stab at my heart Take another stab at my heart Now fight for my body Fight for my body Rest me in pieces now, and cauterize your love for me (your love, your love) Rest me in pieces now, and vaporize my history (my history) Now take another stab at my heart.

BILLY BONES 03:21
Thin and long He was a ticking bomb Gutter Mouth Bred in the deepest South Billy Bones As he was always known Was a horror of a human being Hand grenades Rockets and razor blades Fifty tins Of nitro glycerin Billy Bones Spent all his time alone Lost in pyrotechnic dreams Billy Bones What an awful creature (Billy Bones...) He's so full of sin Billy Bones Better get the preacher 'Cause when the sun goes down Billy does evil things Breaking news Billy has blown his fuse Out of hell Into a padded cell Billy Bones Was throwing sticks and stones When the doctors came to take him in (naughty boy...) Billy bones What an awful creature He's so full of sin Billy Bones Better get the preacher Cause when the sun goes down Billy does evil things Billy Bones What an awful creature He's so full of sin Billy Bones Better get the preacher Cause when the sun goes down Billy does evil things Cause when the sun goes down Billy does evil things Cause when the sun goes down Billy does evil things (What an awful creature) Billy Bones (Better get the preacher) Billy Bones (What an awful creature) Billy Bones

(Spastic Annie, Spastic Annie) (Spastic Annie, Spastic Annie) Strapped to a wheelchair Her body is broke She twitches and jerks She drools and she jokes But underneath everything She's quite aware Of what people say And how people stare But she doesn't care Spastic Annie looks so pretty She talks to herself cause there's nobody else Who'll listen to her crazy little words Tired of the sympathy Of being left out The thoughts in her brain are twisted about So no matter what she does Or how she tries Nobody can tell What she feels inside Cause her tongue is tied Spastic Annie looks so pretty She talks to herself cause there's nobody else Who'll listen to her crazy little words Annie, Annie we're much the same Annie, Annie I'll ease your pain (Spastic Annie, Spastic Annie) Spastic Annie looks so pretty She talks to herself cause there's nobody else Who'll listen to her crazy little words Spastic Annie Spastic Annie Spastic Annie Spastic Annie looks so pretty, yeah Spastic Annie

Sunlight woke you up at ten Midnight passed you by again But you're still the same And years seem to fly like time You've been walking the white line But you want to change So long, love you dearly I've got to go away tonight I don't know quite what to say Stupid Friday And now all my words are gone I've swallowed every single one Didn't have to be this way Stupid Friday No more speaking from the heart No more hiding from the past Gonna go it hard Pretty boy don't think you're so tough Pretty boy not pretty enough Now you've gone too far So long, love you dearly I've got to go away tonight I don't know quite what to say Stupid Friday And now all my words are gone I've swallowed every single one Didn't have to be this way Stupid Friday It's the only way That you learn to live We can only pray So long I love you dearly I've got to go away tonight I don't know quite what to say Stupid Friday And now all my words are gone I've swallowed every single one Didn't have to be this way Stupid Friday

APPARITION 04:26
Out of my nightmares, Into my headlights, I see a little child, Making it hard for me to hide. Out of my bloodstream, Onto my radar, Murdering you for miles, I feel uneasy as you cry. Out of my nightmares, Into my headlights, I see a little child, Making it hard for me to hide. Out of my bloodstream, Onto my radar, Murdering you for miles, I feel uneasy as you cry. I'm not a vegan, I'm not a sadist, I'm just a little boy, Talking 'bout all that we've destroyed, Porno beauticians, Talking proficient, Soon in a little while, I'll find it easier to smile. Out of my nightmares, Into my headlights, I see a little child, Making it hard for me to hide. Out of my bloodstream, Onto my radar, Murdering you for miles, I feel uneasy as you cry.

Matron I'm in love again My operation went all wrong Oh, Yes! Matron Every now and then Your occupation turns me on and on... Bandage my wounds and tie me down to your slab I'm gonna be the best damn lover you've ever had Treat me all night cause baby, I've been so bad Oh, Yes! Matron I'm in love again My operation went all wrong Oh, Yes! Matron Every now and then Your occupation turns me on and on...

ORDINARY GUY 03:45
The streetlights could make me cry and so could your empty eyes. I couldn't help you if you fell down in this small suburban town. I'm not strong enough to be your saviour; I can't take you that high, I'm just an ordinary guy. I'm not brave enough to be your hero; I've got nothing to hide, I'm just an ordinary guy like you, like you There's nothing that you don't know, There's nowhere else left to go Sorry to tell you the sad truth is There's nothing more than this I'm not strong enough to be your saviour; I can't take you that high, I'm just an ordinary guy. I'm not brave enough to be your hero; I've got nothing to hide, I'm just an ordinary guy like you, Like you and your friends, and the man in the paper. The lady who drinks cause her husband still hits her A checkout chick with great aspirations All ordinary girls and ordinary guys like you ...like you I'm not strong enough to be your saviour; I can't take you that high, I'm just an ordinary guy. I'm not brave enough to be your hero; I've got nothing to hide, I'm just an ordinary guy like you, Just like you, I'm just an ordinary guy.

MAKE BELIEVE 03:38
Colour fades away, slowly swirling down the drain You're bitter and you're tired of waiting Someone's banging down the door But you've heard it all before Nothing they could say would change things The chemicals of love you can smell it in the air Blissfully deranged and screaming..... Don't come crawling to me I'm living in a world of make believe I'm all that I wanna be I'm living in a world of make believe and I'm not coming home Alcoholic fumes, carpet stains and empty rooms You're talking to your own reflection And someone you don't know Says it's time for you to go They say it's for your own protection The residue of love, you can taste it everywhere Hoplessly estranged and pleading...... Don't come crawling to me I'm living in a world of make believe I'm all that I wanna be I'm living in a world of make believe And im not coming home I'm not coming home I'm not coming home I'm not coming home Colour fades away, slowly swirling down the drain You're bitter and you're tired of waiting Someone's banging down the door But you've heard it all before And they won't go away The chemicals of love, you can smell it in the air Blissfully deranged and screaming........ Don't come crawling to me I'm living in a world of make believe I'm all that I wanna be I'm living in a world of make believe I'm all that I wanna be I'm living in a world of make believe And I'm not coming home So just leave me alone.

Just say what you want to say Turn around and walk away And I'll just stand here wondering why We can't give it one more try No more shelter from the storm No more faith to keep me warm And we're standing in the rain But it doesn't feel the same You know I can't live this way I lost the best thing that I had And I am subsequently sad All the good times and the bad I still don't know who I am Sad... Sad... Sometimes wonder why we're here Fall in love and disappear Blood is red, your eyes are blue I need both to get me through So kiss me now - don't put up a fight I'll make everything alright You know I can't live this way I lost the best thing that I had And I am subsequently sad All the good times and the bad I still don't know who I am Sad... Sad... Tell me now, just spit it out What is all of this about? We've been through all this before I can't take it any more I lost the best thing that I had And I am subsequently sad All the good times and the bad I still don't know who I am I lost the best thing that I had And I am subsequently sad All the good times and the bad I still don't know who I am Sad... Sad... You know I can't live this way.

TOUCH 04:06
Do you know you steal my breath Make me feel I'm second best Hold me up at gunpoint whisper in my ear Just a narcissistic crush That doesn't seem to matter much 'Til I find that you're here Even when you're not You mean so much Cause all I've got is your touch All I've got is your touch Do you know how juvenile I feel when you make me smile I'm above you but I love to be brought down And if only you'd resist All the boundaries that exist I could look you in the eye and tell you now You mean so much Cause all I've got is your touch All I've got is your touch

She lived on the 17th floor Above an accessory store She'd watch the sun rise and then fall And dress for the Mannequin Ball For every night at 12 o'clock Her father would close up his shop And visit his only true love They'd dance all the night And he looked in her eyes Of porcelain ice, And told her that he had to go Over the moonlight, Where your dreams can't be sold And you never grow old And after her love disappeared The mannequin waited for years She stood by the window alone And wished for her love to come home And although he never returned No matter how long that she yearned She could still here him whisper her name She danced all the same... And he looked in her eyes Of porcelain ice, And told her that he had to go Over the moonlight, Where your dreams can't be sold And you never grow old She was left on her own Looking for love Spent her time counting the stars And the whole world will fall For the Mannequin Ball And the whole world will fall For the Mannequin Ball And the whole world will fall For the Mannequin Ball

TRACES 03:57
Walking down your street Wondering what I have come to Counting down the weeks Since I've been left without you And I remember way back when We made it first, and my heart burst We hung out every weekend But then you sent me... A long story A short letter And everything we had was finished forever And even though I know we're through In everything I do, I find traces of you Every day I'm torn But I know that you're some place Constellations form That remind me of your face And sometimes when I close my eyes I fade away into the days When we would talk 'till sunrise Before you sent me... A long story A short letter And everything we had was finished forever And even though I know we're through In everything I do, I find traces of you This isn't how things should have been I made you mine on Valentine's I even bought you ice cream But still you sent me... A long story A short letter And everything we had was finished forever And even though I know we're through In everything I do, I find traces of you.
