cup of coffee

you tell me you don't love me over a cup of coffee
and i just have to look away
a million miles between us
planets crashing into dust
i just let it fade away

i'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet
i see your car parked on the road
the light on at your window
i know for sure that you're home
but i just have to pass on by

so no of course we can't be friends
not while i'm still this obsessed
i guess i always knew the score
this is how our story ends

i smoke your brand of cigarettes
and pray that you might give me a call
i lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls
hanging round bars at night wishing i had never been born
and give myself to anyone who wants to take me home

so no of course we can't be friends
not while i still feel like this
i guess i always knew the score
this is where our story ends

you left behind some clothes
my belly summersaults when i pick them off the floor
my friends all say they're worried
i'm looking far too skinny
i've stopped returning all their calls

and no of course we can't be friends
not while i'm still so obsessed
i want to ask where i went wrong
but don't say anything at all

it took a cup of coffee
to prove that you don't love me

only happy when it rains

i'm only happy when it rains
i'm only happy when it's complicated
and though i know you can't appreciate it
i'm only happy when it rains
you know i love it when the news is bad
and why it feels so good to feel so sad
i'm only happy when it rains

pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me
pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me

i'm only happy when it rains
i feel good when things are going wrong
i only listen to the sad sad songs
i'm only happy when it rains

i only smile in the dark
my only comfort is the night gone black
i didn't accidentally tell you that
i'm only happy when it rains
you'll get the message by the time i'm through
when i complain about me and you
i'm only happy when it rains

pour your misery down,
(pour your misery down on me)
pour your misery down
you can keep me company as long as you don't care

i'm only happy when it rains
you wanna hear about my new obsession
i'm riding high upon a deep depression
i'm only happy when it rains

(pour some misery down on me)
i'm only happy when it rains
(pour some misery down on me)
i'm only happy when it rains
(pour some misery down on me)

cherry lips

she gave you everything she had
but she was young and dumb
she'd just turned twenty-one
she didn't care to hang around
so when the shit came down
why she was nowhere to be found
this life can turn a good girl bad
she was the sweetest thing
that you had ever seen

you're such a delicate boy
in the hysterical realm
of an emotional landslide
in physical terms

with your cherry lips and golden curls
you could make grown men gasp
when you'd go walking past them
in your hot pants and high heels
they could not believe
that such a body was for real
it seemed like rainbows would appear
whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
because you looked just like a girl
your baby blues would flash
and suddenly a spell was cast

you're such a delicate boy
in the hysterical realm
of an emotional landslide
in physical terms

you hold a candle in your heart
you shine the light on hidden parts
you make the whole world wanna dance
you bought yourself a second chance

go baby go go
we're right behind you
go baby go go
yeah we're looking at you
go baby go go
aw we're right behind you
go baby
go baby
yeah right behind you
go baby
go baby
aw we're right behind you
go baby
go baby
yeah we're looking at you
go baby
go baby
aw we're right behind you
go baby
go baby
yeah we're looking at you

you hold a candle in your heart
go baby go go
you shine the light on hidden parts
go baby go go
you make the whole world wanna dance
go baby go go
you bought yourself a second chance
go baby go baby go

you're such a delicate boy
go baby go baby go
in the hysterical realm
go baby go baby go
of an emotional landslide
go baby go baby go
in physical terms
go baby go go

go

yeah we're looking at you
go baby go go
aw we're right behind you

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 knows what you've got to prove

i think i'm paranoid
and complicated
i think i'm paranoid
manipulate it

bend me, break me
anyway 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 nailed my faith to the sticking pole

i think i'm paranoid
manipulate it
i think i'm paranoid
and complicated

paranoid
i think i'm paranoid

steal me, deal me, anyway 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 leave me

bend me
break me
anyway 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

androgyny

when everything is going wrong
and you can't see the point in going on
nothing in life is set in stone
there's nothing that can't be turned around

nobody wants to be alone
everybody wants to love someone
out of the tree go pick a plum
why can't we all just get along?

boys.. boys in the girls room
girls.. girls in the men's room
you free your mind in your androgyny
boys.. boys in the parlour
girls.. they're getting harder
i'll free your mind and your androgyny

no sweeter a taste that you could find
than fruit hanging ripe upon the vine
there's never been an oyster so divine
a river deep that never runs dry

the birds and bees they hum along
like treasures they twinkle in the sun
get on board and have some fun
take what you need to turn you on

boys.. boys in the girls room
girls.. girls in the men's room
you free your mind in your androgyny
boys.. boys in the parlour
girls.. they're getting harder
i'll free your mind
i'll free your mind
i'll free your mind
i’ll free your…

boys.. behind closed doors and under stars
girls.. it doesn't matter where you are
boys.. collecting jewels that catch your eye
girls.. don't let a soulmate pass you by

boys in the girls room
girls in the men's room
you free your mind in your androgyny
boys in the parlour
they're getting harder
i'll free your mind
i'll free your mind

boys in the girls room
girls in the men's room
you free your mind in your androgyny
boys.. boys in the parlour
girls.. they're getting harder

i'll free your mind
i'll free your mind
i'll free your mind
i’ll free your…

boys..
girls..
boys..
girls..

#1 crush

i would die for you
i would die for you
i've been dying just to feel you by my side
to know that you're mine

i will cry for you
i will cry for you
i will wash away your pain with all my tears
and drown your fear

i will pray for you
i will pray for you
i will sell my soul for something pure and true
someone like you

see your face every place that i walk in
hear your voice every time that i'm talking
you will believe in me
and i will never be ignored

i will burn for you
feel pain for you
i will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
and tear it apart

i will lie for you
beg and steal for you
i will crawl on hands and knees until you see
you're just like me

violate all the love that i'm missing
throw away all the pain that i'm living
you will believe in me
and i can never be ignored

i would die for you
i would kill for you
i will steal for you
i'd do time for you
i will wait for you
i'd make room for you
i'd sail ships for you
to be close to you
to be part of you
cause i believe in you
i believe in you
i would die for you

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

this is the noise that keeps me awake
my head explodes and my body aches
push it, make the beats go harder
push it, make the beats go harder

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

c'mon push it, you can do it
c'mon prove it, nothing to it
c'mon use it, let's get through it
c'mon push it, you can do it

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

don't worry baby
we'll be alright
don't worry baby
we'll be alright

push it

bleed like me

avalanche is sullen and too thin
she starves herself to rid herself of sin
and the kick is so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin
and she says:
hey baby can you bleed like me?
c'mon baby can you bleed like me

chris is all dressed up and acting coy
painted like a brand new christmas toy
he's trying to figure out if he's a girl or he's a boy
he says:
hey baby can you bleed like me?
c'mon baby can you bleed like me

doodle takes dad's scissors to her skin
and when she does relief comes setting in
while she hides the scars she's making underneath her pretty clothes
she sings:
hey baby can you bleed like me?
c'mon baby can you bleed like me

therapy is speedie's brand new drug
dancing with the devil's past has never been too fun
it's better off than trying to take a bullet from a gun
and she cries:
hey baby can you bleed like me?
c'mon baby can you bleed like me

jt gets all fucked up in some karaoke bar
after two drinks he's a loser after three drinks he's a star
getting all nostalgic as he sings "i will survive"
hey baby can you bleed like me?
c'mon baby can you bleed like me
hey baby can you bleed like me?
oh, c'mon baby can you bleed like me

you should see my scars
you should see my scars
you should see my scars
you should see my scars

and try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
just try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend

you should see my scars
you should see my scars

the world is not enough

i know how to hurt
i know how to heal
i know what to show
and what to conceal
i know when to talk
and i know when to touch
no one ever died from wanting too much

the world is not enough
but it is such a perfect place to start, my love
and if you're strong enough
together we can take the world apart, my love

people like us
know how to survive
there's no point in living
if you can't feel alive
we know when to kiss
and we know when to kill
if we can't have it all
then nobody will

the world is not enough
but it is such a perfect place to start, my love
and if you're strong enough
together we can take the world apart, my love

i feel safe
i feel scared
i feel ready
and yet unprepared
the world is not enough
but it is such a perfect place to start, my love
and if you're strong enough
together we can take the world apart, my love

the world is not enough
the world is not enough
no nowhere near enough
the world is not enough

special

i'm living without you
i know all about you
i have run you down into the ground
spread disease about you over town

i used to adore you
i couldn't control you
there was nothing that i wouldn't do
to keep myself around and 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

i...
i...

do you have an opinion?
a mind of your own?
i thought you were special
i thought you should know

i used to amuse you
i knew that i'd lose you
now you're here and begging for a chance
there's no way in hell i'd take it 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'm tired of the violence
i couldn't care less

i'm looking for a new
i'm looking for a new
i'm looking for a new
i'm looking for a new

we were the talk of the town
we were the talk of the town
we were the talk of the town
we were the talk of the town

i thought you were special
i thought you were special
i thought you were special
i thought you were special...

sleep together

i got you crawling up a mountain
hanging round my neck
i got you twisted round my finger
crawling round my legs

the emptiness
the craziness
satisfy this hungriness

darling
how would it feel?

if we sleep together
will you like me better
if we come together
we'll 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
make me feel like i belong
make me hard and make me happy
make me beautiful

the emptiness
the craziness
satisfy this hungriness

darling
how would it feel?

if we sleep together
nothing satisfies me baby
if we sleep together
i'll wear 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 will drive me crazy baby
if we sleep together
i save it all for you my baby
if we sleep together
if we sleep together

queer

hey boy, take a look at me
let me dirty up your mind
i'll strip away your hard veneer
and see what i can find

the queerest of the queer
the strangest of the strange
the coldest of the cool
the lamest of the lame
the numbest of the dumb
i hate to see you here
you choke behind a smile
a fake behind the fear
the queerest of the queer

this is what he pays me for
i'll show you how it's done
you learn to love the pain you feel
like father, like son

the queerest of the queer
hide inside your head
the blindest of the blind
the deadest of the dead
you're hungry 'cause you starve
while holding back the tears
choking on your smile
a fake behind the fear
the queerest of the queer

i know what's good for you
you can touch me if you want
i know
you're dying to
you can touch me if you want
i know what's good for you
you can
touch me if you want
but you can't stop

the queerest of the queer
the strangest of the strange
the coldest of the cool
the lamest of the lame
the numbest of the dumb
i hate to see you here
you choke behind a smile
a fake behind the fear
the queerest of the queer
the strangest of the strange
the coldest of the cool
you're nothing special here
a fake behind the fear
the queerest of the queer

i know what's good for you
i know you're dying to
i know what's good for you
i bet you're dying to
you can touch me if you want
you can touch me if you want
you can touch me
you can touch me
but you can't stop

butterfly collector

so you finally got what you wanted
you've achieved your aim by making the walking lame
and when you just can't get any higher
you use your senses to suss out this week's climber
and the small fame that you've acquired
has brought you into cult status
but to me you're still a collector

there's tarts and whores but you're much more
you're a different kind because you want their minds
and you just don't care 'cause you've got no brain
it's just that face on your pillowcase that thrills you

and you've started looking much older
and your fashion sense is second rate like your perfume
but to you in your own little dream world
you're still the queen of the butterfly collectors

you carry on 'cause it's all you know
you can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew
you get from day to day by filling your head
but you surely must know the thrill between your legs has worn off

and i don't care about morals
because the world's insane and we're all to blame anyway
and i don't feel any sorrow
towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors

there's tarts and whores but you're much more
you're a different kind 'cause you want their minds
and you just don't care 'cause you've got no brains
it's just a face on your pillowcase that thrills you

you carry on because it's all you know
you can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew
you get from day to day be filling your head
but you surely must know the thrill between your legs has worn off

and i don't feel any sorrow towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors
