Theres no water and Im sitting in a bar by myselfAnd the lights are reflecting off those silver jangly piecesThe fat mans dog keeps biting at my heelsNow Im through with standing let the fat man lay me down ChorusFrom across the carpet crawls a tutu with a drinks trayWith a white piece of paper a message from a dead friendThe words I could not decipherBut the meaning was hard to misunderstandThen with her lips to my ear she told me what he had said.... Chorus You take it away you take it awaySometimes things just move that wayYou take it away you take it awaySometimes things just move that waySometimes things just move that waySometimes things just move...

You’re squeezing my blood muscle too tight and babe if I don’t die tonight I’ll be the strongest girl on earth… With every little scratch it pales your love for me beneath my nails Until I’ve scraped it all away Don’t be afraid of my black ringed eyes I’m just in love and love is pain… There are no lies I wish you’d hurt me just to see how it feels to be in love when love is pain and pain is real. You’ve cooked up all this dirty guilt this tower of betrayal you’ve built But this is nothing to be cleaned I swear that I did not betray so you don’t need to make me pay And I just wish you’d understand… Don’t be afraid of my black ringed eyes I’m just in love and love is pain there are no lies I wish you’d hurt me just to see how it feels to be in love when love is pain and pain is real...

Its lost its sparkle cause youre not there I hope youre living but anticipating And Im afraid Im half of one now Its lost its sparkle cause youre not there… How so afraid of little girls? Theres beauty there but Im not concentrating Cause in my mind I am with you Its lost its sparkle cause youre not there And will we see Bangkok together? And all the gold would be more bright for us than anybody else And will you be my Skinny Buddha? And we would fly across the world… Its lost its sparkle cause youre not there Do you believe that we were soul mating? And did you see things that could have been good? But without sparkle cause Im not there And we will see Bangkok together? And all the gold will be more bright for us than anybody else And you can be my Skinny Buddha And we can fly across the world… And we will see Bangkok together? And all the gold will be more bright for us than anybody else And you can be my Skinny Buddha And we can fly across the world...

There is a steam inside of me It coils in red and green and smells like blood and cherries I dont know where it came from I dont know what it means And I dont think the other men can see… I get this dream relentlessly And when I wake I see the colour flow back through me I think I might be dying But baby isnt everybody? I know the essence in my dream will always be with me Im not afraid of normal things… Another night without a dark tunnel Dont wanna die at the hands of another I wonder if hell make me crawl I wonder how far I might fall? But Im stuck beneath this skin I dont know who to blame for this mess Im in Involuntarily falling to my knees Another victim of heart disease heart disease… Another day to live for the moment Stay in bed so I cant be stolen And everything revolves around the fear of my fate And every day a little closer to satan And Im stuck beneath my skin I dont know who to blame for this mess Im in Involuntarily falling to my knees Another victim of heart disease heart disease I think I could be lying And maybe this could all be a dream Know the soul that curls inside me Really needs to scream Im not about to die like they die… Stuck beneath my skin I dont know who to blame for this mess Im in And here I go again falling to my knees Another victim of h-h-heart dise-e-ease… Im sinking in And blaming everyone for this mess Im in And here I go again falling to my knees Another victim of heart disease...

And everythings rosy in Texas And she sits in her penthouse painting builders And sometimes I wish I could be her And sometimes she wishes that she could be me Almost taking flight in her t-bird Rolling home to nocturnally paint her world And man there were so many times wed agree On the hundreds of people we wish we could be! Names are changing But youre still you and Im still me And youre always gonna mean everything to me Times are changing But were still young and were still free And I hope this will always be! Viktorias dreaming of sky towers Nights in Manhatten Rock n Roll bars And one day baby Storms and Leilas will marvel at your battle scars! All dressed in black in your Cadillac Nights on white leather and a bottle of Jack And oh god baby I think youll agree Were the coolest of cats we could possibly be!! Names are changing But youre still you and Im still me And youre always gonna mean everything to me Times are changing But were still young and were still free And I hope this will always be! Names are changing But youre still you and Im still me And youre always gonna mean everything to me Times are changing But were still young and were still free And I hope this will always be!

And we died as they fell… That was my prettiest eye never failed to repel You passing by The small stage like a star not in your head Wondering now who you are Who am I instead? Did I kick in yet? Was I what youd expect? You absolutely wrecked Something that was absolutely perfect. And she bleeds And once it would have been a deal Will you notice if I break my neck? Youre looking at your perfect wreck. Did the flame remain true? I cant win all of the time Changes me changes you yeah Now everybodys wondering if hes crazy and Im left Wondering why the world still turns when I lose my head… Did I kick in yet? Was I what youd expect? You absolutely wrecked Something that was absolutely perfect. And she bleeds And once it would have been a deal Will you notice if I break my neck? Youre looking at your perfect wreck. I guess I dont really care any more Its good to realise you dont need anyone Glitter and glue will cover up the bruises for now Already fading soon theyll all be gone The door is open wide It greets and says goodbye And little starry eyed girl sits and glows And everything is smashed up because she couldnt fly Ive had my feed Ive had enough of lows. Did I kick in yet? Was I what youd expect? You absolutely wrecked Something that was absolutely perfect. And she bleeds And once it would have been a deal Will you notice if I break my neck? Youre looking at your perfect wreck

Grounded Lyrics

Q: 21st Century Beatnik Baby!

I See Ginsberg in my mindWax Lyrical bottle of cheap wine Sitting under lightning treeHeavy lids berating meCoz no one shouts their lines in proseThe only line goes up the noseI sure am bummed Bereft of LoveYdig it man dya feel that stuff.Wooo I can disappearWooo I fearIm a 21st Century Beatnik babyThe man with the golden eyesIm a 21st century beatnik babyCan you dig my surpriseBut I think I owe something to KerouakI stole the heart from you sorry JackN I got romance and I got wineYou got no cool take some of mine.Im a 21st Century Beatnik babyThe man with the golden eyesIm a 21st century beatnik babyCan you dig my surprise

I stayed home There's nothing here for me and I don't know If opportunity will knock But the days are going fast And life's beginning to pass me by So sorry I didn't make the grades and So lonely I can't breathe (thirty six hours a day) And I'm choking on every possible way I could fuck up again ...
