1979
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed to the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed to the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around

Ugly
I don't look in the mirror
I don't like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I'll never see what you see
It's not me
So beautiful and free
I'll never be what you need
I can't help it at all
I was born so beautiful
But now I'm ugly
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I'm nothing
I know there's nothing I can say to change the judgement in their ways
I'll never be what you need
I can't help it at all
My love was so beautiful
But now I'm ugly
I'm good enough but I don't care
The sun is out but I'm not there
I'm good enough but I don't care
The sun is out but I'm not there
I'm good enough
I don't look in the mirror
I don't like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I'll never see what you see
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I'm nothing
Because I'm ugly

The Boy
I can't stop
I can't breathe
I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need
I don't eat
I don't sleep
I'm in love again
Ooh and everytime I heard you breathe
Well I sighed
Ooh and everytime I saw you bleed
Well I cried
Love is like a song and if you sing
If you ever need me I'll be there in a while
I can't stop
I can't breathe
I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need
I don't eat
I don't sleep
I'm in love again
Ooh and everytime that I'm with you
I'm alive
Ooh and everytime I think of you
There's a light
And I felt it too
In my heart is a spring
Is a well
If you need
If you drink
If you heal
If you believe in
Every little part of me is a part of you
I can't stop
I can't breathe
I can't think
I'm in love again
The boy
The boy's in love

Cherry
Stay with me I'll set you free
Cause I can tell you once were pretty
Rose so sad you've lost your petals
And lost the luster off your tattle tales
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I can not betray
I need a word to say what I can't say
I need a lover
What are we waiting for?
Time has lost it's hold on me
Hatred sleeps inside my bones
In the stillness of cool air
All the boys have been left for dead
Cause we go where they fear to tread
The beautiful one's
The one's we'll remember
The precious one's
Our greatest pretenders
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strenght that I can not betray
I need a word to say what I can't say
I need a lover
And if you lose yourself
Could you take me too
Could you rest inside the sleep
Stay with me I'll set you free from you

Believe
Close your eyes until the sunlight dies
In your head a thousand stars
Thru the darkness I see a light
And if they steal your life your heart is still mine
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song you sing a truth there's no other
I want to believe in you dear
On sunday
There's a life I hide
Well I tried to disguise
And I can take you a million miles away
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song you sing a truth there's no other
I want to believe in you dear
On sunday
I made amends for all my mistakes
May god speed be with you
I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song you sing a truth
A lover
I want to believe in you and I heard you

Set the Ray to Jerry
Born to please every simple need
I stand alone in my thoughts indeed
Hate you
For ever making me
I'm in you
I'm your anything
I want you and I need you
All you are is brand new
And I need you
Come to me
Let me hold you still
I'm so tired
Just as tired as you
Take me for anyone
But me
All that you feel is never true
I want you and I need you
All you are is brand new
And I need you
When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never ever let you go
And never let you know
Let roar these fears
To the whore of my tears
Pure as a lie
I pour to your eyes
Suck you
Like the sap from a tree
Honey from the dew
From the bumblebees
I want you
And I need you
And all you are is brand new
And I need you
When you say that you are
Forever my star
I'll never let go
Never let you know
