Feeder--Polythene

POLYTHENE GIRL

I wish that I could touch the sky
Elevate me
I hope that I don't burn my eyes
As I drift free
Don't think that I can help myself
Guess it's true

CHORUS:
Polythene, Polythene Girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, Polythene Girl
I'm breaking the seal, never thought I would

I wish that I could heal myself
Addicted to you
Wrap me up in cotton wool 
Just to feel new
Don't think that I can help myself
But it's true

CHORUS

Suffocate, elevate
Suffocate, elevate
But it's true

CHORUS


MY PERFECT DAY

Got this dagger in my back
The blade inside me burning
Change these colours in my head
Turn to face the real thing

So what about me, what I want to be
What about me, hear me when I speak
I can't take it, I won't make it
I can't take it, I won't make it

CHORUS:
But sometimes I feel it
Do you know how it is?
You wake up in the morning and everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day

Twist inside me feel it break
The rubber band keeps turning 
See the tracks worn in my face
Hallucinate, I'm burning

So what about me, what I want to be
What about me, hear me when I speak
I can't take it, I won't make it

CHORUS

I can't believe this anymore 
I just don't see this anymore
I'm stepping out into the rain again

See my satellite in space
Sending back the weather
Try to find myself some space
Move on up the ladder

I can't take it, I won't make it
So what about me, what I want to be
What about me, hear me when I speak

CHORUS 2X


CEMENT

It's funny how I watch the day go by
I'm sitting watching TV
Talk shows high
There's banging on the walls
My head aches
I'm drinking out the world
That I hate

I had a big car, new clothes everything
I've had a watch engraved in Switzerland
Today I saw her buying a magazine
It's time to get myself some therapy

How do I stop this, how do I stop this
How do I stop this disease?

CHORUS:
She's got a new dress on (I'm in cement)
Sits by her radio (I'm in cement)
She's got those x-ray eyes (I'm in cement)
Don't know which way to go

It's funny but I dream for yesterday
I'm blistered by the burns that life has made
I'm staring out behind the window shade
I see her face across the street again

I"m in quicksand sinking in again
I've got concrete shoes and I can't swim

How do I stop this, how do I stop this
How do I stop this disease?

CHORUS

I don't know what to do
But I know that I must pull through
I can't keep watching you

How do I stop this, how do I stop this
How do I stop this disease?

CHORUS


HIGH

Guess I'm stuck in a dream
Surrounded by coloured leaves on the ground
As I stare at the trees
I see one fall down on my hand
As I start to explore
I can't ignore a man
He turns his head around
His face was all worn by the sun

CHORUS:
I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cos I won't be home
Today

Drifting down a road
Losing myself in a dream
Feel my hands getting cold
Sat in a boat on a lake

CHORUS

Climbing up trying my best
As I sink
Climbing up trying my best
As I sink again

Lying back on the floor
Reaching up high into space
See myself in a glass
I'm counting the lines on my face
Again
Counting the lines on my face
Again

CHORUS 2X

Today, today, today, today, etc. (to end)


CRASH

I put my best foot first and it got burnt
Communication always hurts
I've got myself so deep inside a hole
I taste the air go thin as I get old, as I get old
I don't think so

CHORUS:
She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when I crash down
Build me wings so I can glide
She's my novocaine ride

Pick up the pieces of my world
Glue thme together, I wish I could
I can't believe it as the picture fades
Just like a TV, but the sound remains
I don't think so, no, I don't think so

CHORUS

Feel it as I shake
Shatter illusions fade
Taste my bitter tears
Cut my heart with shears

I don't think so, I don't think so

CHORUS


RADIATION

Pull back my skin
Look deep within
Transparent grins
The more you kill me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

CHORUS:
There's radiation in my head
Can't you see I'm going mad
See the colour of my skin
Turning blue as I breathe in
There's radiation in my head

Suffer for life
My soul divide
I'm reaching high
But no one sees me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

CHORUS

Get it out, get it out, get it out

Trapped in my shell
My fingers melt
All by myself, I'm all by myself
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

CHORUS 2X

You hear me breathe a little more
And see me walk into the storm
The more you give yourself away
The more it burns and breaks away


SUFFOCATE

Show it to me one way 
I've got to see it all
Scientific radar
Reaching through the storm
There's got to be hope
As people move on
We've got to keep on believing

CHORUS:
It's time to give it everything 
A world unite let us in
Hear me cry
Suffocate, let them die
A better life, say goodbye, hear me cry

I see everything silver and gold
Way up I'm reaching out
Clouds white as snow
There's got to be hope
As people move on
We've got to keep on believing

CHORUS

hear me cry
Why don't you hear me
Why don't they hear me
Suffocate
Let them die
A better life to say goodbye
Give, give enough I care


DESCEND

Sitting back I only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as I bleed (again)

I"m not insane
Can't reach the pain

CHORUS:
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep

I hate the way they are
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head
Ask the question I have read
But one thing makes it hard
Feel so fragile as I cry
So confused yet so alive
So abused the system lied
You lied to me

I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain

CHORUS

Alone ....alone

Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe I stared 
As my focus turned to haze
I could see them

I'm not insane
Can't stand the pain

CHORUS


STEREO WORLD

Staring at the ideal world
The bubble begins to break
Gazing at the ceiling cracks
The more the picture fades
It's just that I can't see
When I'm down like this
I just feel the weight
As I try to resist

CHORUS:
It doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens, I drift away

Floating out of sync again
Reaching for a cloud
Levitated high I'm free
Turning myself around
Just as I feel fine
It begins to break
Now the pain is here
What a big mistake

CHORUS

It just explodes as I drift in
A thousand hands caress my skin
I feel so free as it begins

CHORUS 2X


CHANGE

Looking through my window shade
Stare at streets that bare no name
Now it all looks strange to me
Yesterday seems like a dream
But I often try too hard
To break the routine of my day
Turn aroudn see what I see
Can't help wishing it could

CHORUS:
Change, change again
Unchain myself, I will

See the faces in the crowd
Busy streets they move around
Underground seems such a drag
Waiting and then we change

CHORUS 2X

The more I see the more it hurts
The more we change, it all seems worse

Tomorrow, til tomorrow comes...

As it drags me there I feel
A sense of urgency unveil
What's in store for us today
Read the papers, drift away

CHORUS

Oh how I hate to feel this way
The more I wait to see it change
The more I see the more it hurts
The more we change, it all seems worse


TANGERINE

Tangerine turning green
Cellophane window pane
Socialize paralysed
Plastic faces suck me dry
Tangerine 4x

CHORUS:
I know it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop livin on the moon

REPEAT CHORUS

Twenty eight suffocate
Take a ride see me fly
Detonate, feel it break
See myself disintegrate
Tangerine 4x

CHORUS 2x

See it as I climb
The rain burns in my eyes
So catch me as I fall away
Tangerine 4x

CHORUS 2x

I know it's sad


FORGIVE

Shoot holes in me
Then you watch as I bleed
Sticks sticks and stones
Break my bones as I speak

Leave me to burn
As I melt in my pain
Watch as I drown
In the tears we have made

CHORUS:
Cos we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
Things are changing at last
I hope for the best
But I don't understand
I'm just a man
I'm still trying to see

Love, love it hate
Can't separate, how it is
Deep in a grave, can't pretend
When it's real

CHORUS

See a way, move away
see a way
Willl I ever be saved for this
Will I ever be clean

REPEAT VERSE 1

CHORUS 2X


20TH CENTURY TRIP

Ocean blue
Deep and cool
Rain on me
Kiss the sea
Clouds in space
The earth rotates
Satellite ship
20th century trip
