Not an Addict Breathe it in and breathe it out And pass it on, it's almost out We're so creative, so much more We're high above but on the floor It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive If you don't have it you're on the other side The deeper you stick it in your vein The deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain I'm in heaven, I'm a god I'm everywhere, I feel so hot It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive If you don't have it you're on the other side I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie) It's over now, I'm cold, alone I'm just a person on my own Nothing means a thing to me (Nothing means a thing to me) It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive If you don't have it you're on the other side I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie) Free me, leave me Watch me as I'm going down Free me, see me Look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling. It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive I feel... It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive If you don't have it you're on the other side I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie) I'm not an addict... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Sound That Only You Can Hear The thought of you and me and me and you It's clear, it's blurry Your head, my mind, your mind, my head, as one It's real, the foolish worry I feel you and you feel me as I feel you It's good, it's scary The speed, the heat, it's deep, and steep It's light but hard to carry Listen when I'm silent there's a Sound that only you can hear Listen when it's quiet I know You can hear it, cover up your ears Cover up your ears Your hands, my mouth, your mouth, my hands The weight of what we're thinking No words, the air we breathe It's not liquid, but we're drinking Listen when I'm silent there's a Sound that only you can hear Listen when it's quiet I know You can hear it, cover up your ears Cover up your ears Listen when I'm silent there's a Sound that only you can hear A sound that only you can hear A sound that only you can hear A sound that only you can hear ------------------------------------------------------------------------ White Kite Fauna In a dark well Late at night Children crying, they've lost their kite They're left with nothing but Giant lizards Eating deer Growing appetite as they notice that Their prey's stills breathing Lizards' eyes reflection Shows a glimpse of imperfection Through the spastic sighs of innocence Of deer's blood and it's cruel attraction White kite fauna, do you feel White kite fauna, is it real Is it real In a dark well I found a kite Bloodstained, so beautiful Recognizable I close my eyes and I perceive Marble emptiness Looking for my soul to bless Lizards' eyes reflection Shows a glimpse of imperfection Through the spastic sighs of innocence Of deer's blood and it's cruel attraction White kite fauna, do you feel White kite fauna, is it real White kite fauna, do you feel White kite fauna, will it heal Will it heal In a dark well Late at night I am crying I've lost my kite Left with nothing ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mr. Freeze I'm about to tell you about a man I've known Since I've been able to open up a refrigerator I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover Could you freeze me in and defrost me when it's over Mr. Freeze, I feel your chill As I inhale the urge to kill all my emotions I ask you please, but all you do is make me sneeze Mr. Freeze I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover Whose shadow it is that appears as I bend over It's Mr. Freeze, I hear no sound As I focus on the amount of my emotions I ask you please, take the lead or let me bleed Mr. Freeze My temperature is really low now; you're here But you're not welcome any longer I will release I will release Mr. Freeze No bangs, no yells, merely the sea Is Mr. Freeze inside of me No bangs, no yells, merely the sea Is Mr. Freeze inside of me No bangs, no yells, merely the sea Is Mr. Freeze inside of me No bangs, no yells, merely the sea Is Mr. Freeze inside of me I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover How it comes that I feel so high when I ought to feel lower ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Song for Catherine In your dreams, in your bed In everyone and in your head On the wall, it ain't white In every letter that you write In the way people talk In the shape of stones and rocks He's your hero, he's your god He listens to this song and nods In a voice, in a sound When you're happy, when you're down It will pass, things will change But you don't want to hear that In the scent of the air On the clothes that people wear You feel love, so does he And he's telling you 'I'm here' I'm here He's here He's here... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To This Day I'm waiting for the bus to come I'm lying on a bench Thinking of a book I read And wondering what it meant I hear footsteps coming closer It's an ordinary man He comes up to me, shakes my hand And asks me who I am I am paralysed, I can't talk or move What could I say And before I have the chance to think I tell this man my name I tell this man my name He smiles and looks away But I still don't know the answer to this day To this day To this day To this day... To this day To this day To this day... (I don't know the answer...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Iron Flower Thunder, please explain Why you ask me how I am, I'm fine I Wonder is it sane To pierce purple eyeballs made of china I love you like a son, like a game I have won Like a toothbrush I used for the Eiffel Tower My youth, it is gone, it's a boot stuck in the ground Is there truth to be found in an iron flower Mmm, I will try hard to be a spark of power I will, I'll never be your iron flower Stone please explain Why your silence makes more noise than thunder Bones; is it sane To obey me and the flesh you're under Your words are soon gone and it hurts, I have none Take a jump from you pretty linguistic tower The goal of speech, so obnoxious to reach Only one thing to do, melt your iron flower... Mmm, I will try hard to be a spark of power I will, I'll never be your iron flower Mmm... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wait I hold it, I fold it I throw it on the floor I wrote it, but maybe I'm afraid That you'll be bored It's very real and true and sad And hopeful just like me It's one of those things I'll never tell I'll carve it in a tree I follow you, I watch you I thank god you're in my class I picture us in the schoolbus And we're holding each others' hand I need a plan for you to fall In love with me and then I'll make you marry me, I'll wait... I never wear my glasses when I know that you can see me You act as if I'm not around But deep down you must need me I draw you, every single Feature in my head I try to do my homework But I dream of you instead I need a plan for you to fall In love with me and then I'll make you marry me, I'll wait... I'll make you marry me I'll make you marry me I'll make you marry, marry me... I'll wait... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paradise in Me Consuming far too much Ignoring the will to touch The ones who don't have food at all... I'm breathing I'm wondering how We watch Wheel of Fortune now I close my eyes and try to see A piece of paradise in me Beat me up And smash my brand new TV To help me look for A little piece of paradise in me I'm dancing, I'm writing songs About what bothers me the most About those who can't dance at all... I'm only jumping I'm only freaking out And I wonder what it's all about To close my eyes and finally see A piece of paradise in me Beat me up And smash my brand new TV To help me look for A little piece of paradise in me A little piece of paradise in me ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Record Company Beware, beware They're on their way They're getting closer every day But I'm prepared I'm sure some common sense will Blow them all away They like your band They shake your hand They smell like food that has gone bad Today it's you Today will pass I'm so sick of all this trash... (Don't take it personally, oh no...) (Don't take it personally, oh no...) (Don't take it personally, oh no...) (Don't take it personally, oh no...) And sometimes in the middle of The roaches' nest You find a little soul That understands the content of a song, so... (Don't take it personally, oh no...) (Don't take it personally, oh no...) (Don't take it personally, oh no...) (Don't take it personally, oh no...) (Oh no...) (Yeah...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Only Dreaming I'm sure you're only dreaming You're only juggling with my mind While I feel more and more like screaming For the scar you left behind I'm sure you're only dreaming I'm sure we're just a part Of what the lucky man believes in I'm sure you know this song by heart You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you talk You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you say, 'shut up' You're only dreaming, I hope your dream is in me You're only dreaming you're free You will show up while I'm dreaming Out of nowhere cross my way You will ask me not to scream and You will smile and you will say, 'dear friend, You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you talk You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you say, 'shut up' You're only dreaming, I hope your dream is in me You're only dreaming you're free You're only dreaming You're only dreaming You're only dreaming, dreaming... You're only dreaming You're only dreaming You're only dreaming, dreaming...' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dad I was a kid, you were my dad I didn't always understand I wanted freedom, you got mad You were concerned, I got upset I didn't recognize you yet And did you cry, I know I did When I lied to you I didn't want to hurt you I just never knew I did You never told me that you loved me I know you didn't know how I guess that shows we're much the same 'Cause I love you too and until now I've never said those words out loud I hope you're proud To be my dad... What are your secrets, do you pray Is there a god that shows your way I wish I knew... Do you have crazy fantasies What happens in your dreams I want to know... I guess you'll always be a mystery to me But you taught me how to value life And what else do I need I have a dad who watches over me ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old Woman I saw an old woman in a wheelchair On the highway yesterday I saw an old woman in a wheelchair On the highway yesterday And as I asked her to pull over To make sure no truck would hit her She smiled and mumbled, 'okay, whatever you say.' And I said, 'I wonder why.' She said, 'Girl, you're so naive And you're too young to understand I am now chasing my husband Stan A pale man in a black suit came to take him In trade for a cup of tea A pale man came to take him away from me' And I said, 'I see,' (and I really did) 'You go and chase him, go ahead And when you catch him will you send him my love And tell the pale man to make sure To call before he comes to take me too. To take me too.' (I saw an old woman...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Something's Wrong When your pubic hair's on fire, something's wrong When you think you're the Messiah, something's wrong When you mistake a plane for Venus, something's wrong When your girlfriend's got a penis Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong... When you like music more than life, something's wrong When you start sleeping as you drive, something's wrong When you're favorite drink is thinner, something's wrong When you're proud to be a sinner Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong... When a canary drives a tractor, something's wrong When your president's an actor, something's wrong When your jacket's plagued with dandruff, something's wrong If you think that this song matters Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong... Something's wrong...
