I am the tiger, city zoo lifer, on a leash, numb between the knees
I’ll lie in the mud with you, if I could, I would eat your heart, It’s only meat
We won’t forget you, we’re the elephants in the room
Go on and pretend that you don’t see em’
We don’t speak human, but you don’t know freedom
Tell me your excuse, why do you kill them?
You know who
Forget my driver, I’m a night rider
I’m too young, too young to even think
I’ll lie in the mud with you, all you need to do is steer my heart in spite of me
I can’t control myself. True love can go to hell when all we do is eat and sleep and steal.
‘That’s the way of the world, you can’t change it’
Heard all your excuses, do you mean them?
But money just won’t do when it wastes so many lives
And money just won’t do when you’ve wasted all your time
I am the liar, meat on my fire
But trust me, your love is safe with me
Won’t lie in the mud with you. That’s what you were born to do
It’s all about what you can do for me
I am the murderer. Karma? Never heard of her
It’s my nature, so I don’t have to think
Kill without thinking? You’re world is sinking
All you ever think about Is love
But money just won’t do when it wastes so many lives
And money just won’t do when you’ve wasted all your time
There’s got to be another way to live your life
All you think about is love
Make some money, buy some love
When someone really needs your help, you only think about yourself
Make some money, buy some love

Sirens and Vices
03:40
|

It’s hard to focus
when her top is off
And you’ve had ten shots
And of god knows what
Pretty soon
all the walls will sweat
And who needs a bed
Yeah that’s what she said, I know.
But when you come home
I need puppy love
No it’s not enough
No it’s not enough
You take tequila, cocaine, ecstasy
She’s got it all for free
Yeah, I guess we’ll see
Drink too much and you’ll never change
Never change
You’re poor
And you’re never paid, never paid
Sirens and Vices
You’re bad,
but you’ve got no soul to loose.
Down some beer
and you’ll liquor up
and down you dirty drunk
Like when you were young
She lights up and rolls back her eyes
Her lies could make you die
If you keep throwing dice
But when you come home
I need sober love
no it’s not enough
No, it’s not enough
You take tequila, cocaine, ecstasy
She’s got it all for free
Yeah, I guess we’ll see
Drug of the day is
More of the same
Whatever takes my mind
Far away
I gave
It all away
I’ve made my fair share
Of mistakes
When I was lost I
Paved my way
I paved
My way

Money
03:53

Money, she’s a heartbreaker
But baby you’re in love
I told you not to chase that girl
You’ll never have enough
You say you can’t live a day without her
But she don’t give a damn for you
Work all day just to see her again
But in the end
My old man says the sun don’t shine
For anyone whose skin ain’t white
And that ain’t right
Money, she’s a mean ol’ bitch
But baby your in love
Beat you, leave you dead in a ditch
For now you have enough
Plan my days around her love
Somedays I don’t see the sun
But all I ever want in live is just
To see her face again
Money comes for all my friends
Life’s hard work is no defense
Bright green eyes and a golden leash
Money get’s the very best of me
She pays our way right to the solo

Gaia

Being born each day
Not growing old
Earth’s warming up
Mens hearts’ stay cold
And if you don’t care
Well then just say so
And choose choose sides with money
And do as your told
Do as your told
Compassion can’t be bought or sold
Can’t feel the love in your bill fold
What kind of kindness can you hold
With your hands in your pockets
Hiding the gold
Hiding the gold
Poor Gaia
Stayed in bed all day
With a white rose of tissue
Just to chase the sad away
I don’t want to miss you
The more she loves
The more she’s got to loose
The more I love
The more I’ve got to loose
A darkness hides behind your pride
Better watch your mouth when you say
Mine mine mine
You say you love mother nature
And then change your mind
And choose the death of a planet
Everytime everytime
It’s the kind of love you feel
When you’re on your own

Never Love Again
03:22
|
|||
Days pass, I wait for you
To come around like you used to
My heart aches
So much these days
Thinking about the way we used to
Sway to the music
My face against your beating chest
You were my best friend
Let’s leave this place before things get bad
Some say
I’ll never love again
So I stay
Silent about us when they’re around
Fresh as a snowflake
When we were young
Saving the world on the
Tip of our tongues
We must have known the flood gates
Would break, suicide and mistakes
And now the drugs don’t taste the same
Now and again
I can forget your there
It’s the only time I actually get somewhere
My heart aches so much these days
Thinking about the way you used to care
Tell me love does it get much better?
I’ll get better, I’ll get better babe.

Death Counts
03:47
|
|||
When it was time to fight
You thought you’d have yourself an army, but
They all stayed home to watch tv
They prayed That you’d be the hero and
Hoped for good news from the screen.
Oh the scenes were tragic
Death counts flew by in bold
And Oh, but the lighting was magic
And they all cried as the credits scrolled
One grave one common ground
Borderlines I used to see
But I know better now
When allegiance makes you kill
By jingo love is fake
You’ll see yourself in them
in the mirror of death’s gate
I see you sitting there
With that look I cannot bear
Because I’m human, I am real
Not a fairytale my dear
The things that hurt like hell
Are the silent lies we tell
It’s not knowing what is right,
It’s there’s no one left to fight

Let's Be Friends
02:35
|

I don’t suppose that you know
How to save me
I need somebody to hold
and call me baby
I call you twice thrice
Every time
Checkin the sidebar when I’m online
I like your picture
Let’s be friends
Cuz love is rough and tough enough
I take my phone into work
So there’s no escaping
I always download you
So there’ll be no erasing
I text you twice thrice, try to be nice
Your no reply is as cold as ice

Sweet Anne
04:30
|
|||
Only the lonely can escape your love
Chain us up two by two
Because our love is never enough
If the sky should fall down and I don’t know what to do
I’d call you on my cellphone and roller-skate over to you
And if the ground should open up and suck my down dead
Just write upon my gravestone ‘I always loved you best’
I know that I am good, I give it all my time
But if you turned the tables, I might just change my mind
Who knew that my own parents could be so very wrong
And I’d be just as bad and write it in a song
Oh sweet Anne don’t you, don’t you cry love
If your man should leave you tonight
Because you’r the lucky one, live for everyone
Don’t you die for love, your eyes will dry
Wish that I could fly free because she knows that I’ll be home
I pay you with my love so she’ll never be alone
But only the lonely can escape your love
You chain us up two by two
Because our love is not enough
Oh my love what big eyes you have
All the better to see you with
Oh my love what big ears you have
All the better to hear you with
Oh my love what big teeth you have
All the better to eat you with
You should never be alone
Because only the lonely..

Supersymmetry
05:46
|

Some, they go on and on, they go on and on
But she don’t need to speak at all
I’ve seen what you call your good side and I’ve seen your bad babe
I’ve seen you cry a few times but you’ll always laugh
Supersymmetry has got me like a magnet
You’re true as a diamond but you’re breaking me to pieces
Hold me, but not too closely
You’re true colors will drive me mad
Told I gotta make some money to live on
Didn’t think I’d have to steal from anyone
Could you make a little space in your bed
Where I can lay all of these thoughts to rest
What are we holding out for
Suitcase and a carton of ciggies, but it feels like you’re the one leaving
Meet at the diner with a couple of CDs, I’m headed west till I reach the sea
Supersymmetry has got me like a magnet
Good and bad ain’t separate, I knew the night we met
Beauty so brutal I can’t stand it
They come together balanced like a magnet
Dream chaser, blind but so alive
I’d be your only lover, boy, but who’s got the time
What are you holding out for

The Shell
04:17
|
|||
Well i think that there are those
Who push their fingers through
The shell of a wall
And make a hole to look out through
And they stare out
At the cinders of the world
With naked eyes
Knowing too much besides
Well tell me, who’s taking you home tonight?
Living grows round us like a skin
To shut away the outer desolation
For if we clearly mark the furthest deep
We should be dead long years before that grave leap
Well i think that there are those
Who push their fingers through
The shell of a wall
And make a whole to look out through
And they stare out
At the cinders of the world
With naked eyes
Knowing too much besides
Well tell me, who’s taking you home tonight?
Looking in and out
Knowing themselves
Heaven and hell
And too much else
Oh you, you break the shell
But tell me, who’s taking you home tonight
