Garbage--Version 2.0

TEMPTATION WAITS

I'll tell you something
I am a wolf but
I like to wear sheep's clothing

I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I'm waiting for my moment

CHORUS:
You come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
And there's so much at stake
I can't afford to wait
I've never needed anybody like this before

I'll tell you something
I am a demon
Some say my biggest weakness
I have my reasons
Call it my defense
Be careful what you're wishing

CHORUS

You are a secret
I need possession
I like to keep you guessing

CHORUS

When I'm not sure what I am
When I’m not sure what I am

When I'm not sure what I'm living for
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for (rpt. 3 times)
When I'm not sure what I'm living for


I THINK I’M PARANOID

You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven know what you've got to prove

I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated

CHORUS
Bend me
Break me
Any way you need me
All I want is you
Bend me
Break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you

I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I am my fate to the sticking pole

I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated

CHORUS

Paranoid
I think I'm paranoid

CHORUS

Steal me, deal me, any way you heal me
Maim me, tame me, you can never change me
Love me, like me, come ahead and fight me
Please me, tease me, go ahead and eat me

Bend me
Break me
Any way you need me
As long as I want you baby it's all right

Bend me
Break me
Any way you need me
As long as I want you baby it's all right


WHEN I GROW UP

Cut my tongue out
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut

Happy hours
Golden showers
On a cruise to freak you out

We can fly a
Helicopter
Nothing left to talk about

Entertain you
Celebrate you
I'll be back to bring you...

CHORUS
When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Trying hard to
Fit among you
Floating out to wonderland

Unprotected
God I'm pregnant
Damn the consequences

CHORUS

Blood and blisters
On my fingers
Chaos rules when we're apart

Watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gentle

CHORUS

When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Birds of a feather
Better make amends
Rip it all to shreds
And let it go

I rip it all to shreds and let it go
I rip it all to shreds and let it go
I rip it all to shreds and let it go


MEDICATION

I don't need an education
And I learned all I need from you
They've got me on some medication
My point of balance is askew
It keeps my temperature from rising
My blood is pumping through my veins

CHORUS:
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing up myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
or anybody else

I wear myself out in the morning
You're asleep when I get home
Please don't call me self defending
You know it cuts me to the bone
You know it's really not surprising
I hold a force I can't contain

CHORUS

And still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you laid the blame on me
Still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you laid the blame on me

CHORUS

Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing up myself
I've got to make a point these days
To entertain myself

CHORUS

And still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you laid the blame on me
And still you call me co-dependent

Somehow you laid the blame on me (rpt. 3 times)


SPECIAL

I’m livin’ without you
Know all about you
I have run you down here into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
Couldn’t control you
But there was nothing that I wouldn’t do
Cept leave myself around there close to you

Do you have an opinion?
 a mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I’ve run out of patience
I couldn’t care less

Do you have an opinion?
a mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to abuse you
I knew that I’d use you
And now you’re back here beggin’ for the chance
There’s no way in hell I’d take you back

Do you have an opinion?
a mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

But I’ve run out of patience
I’ve run out of comments
I’ve tried all the violence
I couldn’t care less

I’m lookin’ for you (4 times)

We’re the talk of the town (4 times)

I thought you were special (4 times)


HAMMERING IN MY HEAD

I'm stressed but you're freestyle
I'm overworked but I'm undersexed
I must be made of concrete
I sign my name across your chest

Give out the same old answers
I trot them out for the relatives
Company tried and tested
I use the ones that I love the best

Like an animal you're moving over me
Like an animal you're moving over me

When did I get perverted
I can't remember your name
I'm growing introverted
You touch my hand but it's not the same

This was so unexpected
I never thought I'd get caught
Play boomerang with your demons
Shoot to kill and you'll pop them off
BANG!  BANG!

Like an animal you're moving over me
Like an animal you're moving over me

You should be sleeping my lover
Tell me what you're dreaming of (rpt. 4 times)

I knew you were mine for the taking
I knew you were mine for the taking
I knew you were mine taking
When I walked in the room

I knew you were mine for the taking
I knew you were mine for the taking
Your eyes light up
When I walk in the room

A hammering in my head don't stop
From the bullet train
From Tokyo to Los Angeles
I'm leaving you behind
A flash in the pan
A storm in a teacup
A needle in a haystack
A prize for the winning
A dead for the raising
A catch for the chasing
A jewel for the choosing
A man for the making in this blistering heat

Sweat it all out
Sweat it all out
With your bedroom eyes and your baby pouts
Sweat it all out
In our electric storms and our shifting sands
Our candy jars and our sticky hands

Sweat it all out (rpt. 6 times)

Don't forget what I wrote you then
And don't forget what I told you then
And don't forget I that meant to win
And don't forget your ventoline
So a hammering in my head don't stop
In the bullet train from Tokyo to Los Angeles


PUSH IT

I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say you'll help me out

Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
No need to fight
Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
We'll be alright

CHORUS:
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it (make it please go further)
Push it (make it please go further)

I'm sorry that I hurt you
Please don't ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine

Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
We'll stay up all night

CHORUS

Come on push it you can you it (rpt. 4 times)

Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
We'll stay up all night

CHORUS (rpt. 3 times)

Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
We'll be alright
Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
We'll be alright


THE TRICK IS TO KEEP BREATHING

She’s not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels about herself
She takes a little time
In making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight against the tide

And lately
I'm not the only one
I say
Never trust anyone

Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

Can't bear to face the truth
So sick you can not move
And when it hurts he takes it out on you

And lately
I'm not the only one
I say
Never trust anyone

Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

The trick is to keep breathing 
The trick is to keep breathing

She knows the human heart
And how to read the stars
Now everything’s about to fall apart

I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

The trick is to keep breathing (rpt. 7 times)


DUMB

I never got to be a savior
I'd sooner have a dirty mouth
Stop analyzing my behavior
You're far too dumb to work it out

I've got to keep myself together
You know how I hate to disappoint
A masochistic lamb to slaughter
Maybe you've missed the point

I'm feeling small
Climbing the walls
I don't let it show

Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish that it would go
You'll never come sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Maybe I could write a letter
to help me with my self esteem
You should get to know me better
No one's ever what they seem

I'm feeling small
Climbing the walls
I don't let it show

Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish that it would go
You'll never come sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

You still don't know what you think of me
You still don't know what you mean to me
You still don't know what to think of me
You still don't know what you think of me

Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish that it would go
You'll never come sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Now that you know what you know
You're going to reap what you sow
Nothing will come sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

You still don't know what you think of me
You still don't know what you mean to me
You still don't know what to think of me

You still don't know what you think of me (rpt. 5 times)
You still don't know what I think of you
You still don't know what you think of me


SLEEP TOGETHER

I got you crawling up a mountain
And around my neck
I got you twisted round my finger
Crawling round my lips

The emptiness
The craziness
Satisfy this loneliness

Darling
How would it feel?

CHORUS:
If we sleep together
Will you like me better
If we come together
We'd go down forever
If we sleep together
Will I like you better
If we come together
Prove it now or never

Make me a pretty person and make me
Feel like I belong
Make me hard and make me happy
Make me beautiful

The emptiness
The craziness
Satisfy this loneliness

Darling
How would it feel

CHORUS

If we sleep together
Nothing satisfies me baby
If we sleep together
I was something pretty baby
If we sleep together
Give me what I crave now baby
If we sleep together
Save the rest for later baby
If we sleep together
You would drive me crazy baby
If we sleep together
I save it all for you my baby
If we sleep together

If we sleep together 
If we sleep together


WICKED WAYS

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
I acted like a lunatic for years

Lord knows I tried to be good
I’d keep my promise if only I could
Count your blessings that I covered light on you

And I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and I tried

CHORUS:
Collect your pictures in the hall
Put them up on the other wall
?????
Close the door and keep it shut

I’ve done things I’ve never thought I’d do
Sure ain’t help to lose myself in you
Every time I’ll be alright
Say, c’mon sugar we’ll go out tonight
Forgive your trespassers and all that we’ve been through

And I tried….(rpt. 7 times)

CHORUS

that sinking feeling
When you are leaving
All I’m believing
What’s at the door?

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
Damage’s done, there’s nothing left to say

And I tried (rpt. 7 times)

CHORUS (w/ bkgd. Vocals)


YOU LOOK SO FINE

You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And play with your mind
You're taking me over

It's so insane
You got me down and chained
I hear your name
I'm falling over

I'm not like all of the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
But you used it all

You look so fine

Knocked down
Cried out
Pinned down just to
Find out
How good
You were for me

I'm open wide
I want to take you home
We'll waste some time
You're the only one for me

You look so fine
I'm like the devil tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me

I'm not like all of the other girls
I won't take it like the other girls
I won't fake it like the other girls
But you used it all

You're taking me over
Over and over
I'm falling over
Over and over

Love me one more time
I decide me tonight
Do what you want to do
Just pretend, happy end
Let me know, let it show
In the wind, let 'em go
In the wind, let 'em go
In the wind, let 'em go

Let's pretend, happy end (rpt. 4 times)
