carneval shoes and a navy blue heart
you couldn't recognize me since we've been apart.
torn lip and a killer smile
green tired eyes, you know it's been a while
dreams and longing in the lines of my face
cuts and bruises, all in their right place
walk like a werewolf ready to feast
all I said was "I love you", you believed me at least.
wouldn't look at you twice if I didn't love you
wouldn't look at you twice if I didn't love you
i meet some boys and I talk to them too
but before we begin we're already through
you have the nerve to call me on my shit
feel like a vampyre, but you're already bit
my mind is as restless as my hand in the air
starving for sunlight or for someone to care
smoke and self-pity, that old familiar gaze
sleepwalking while awake, trying to find your face
wouldn't look at you twice if I didn't love you
wouldn't look at you twice if I didn't love you
dont really know what I'm saying half the time
so beware of my words, especially if they ryhme
let's end this song with a hug and goodbye
one last salty kiss and a cute little lie
wouldn't look at you twice if I didn't love you
wouldn't look at you twice if I didn't love you
wouldn't look at you twice if I didn't love you
wouldn't look at you twice if I didn't care

Between Us
02:04
|

|
I smoke organic cigarettes
hoping for organic death
between us
the bees they wrestle on the ground
the most beautiful sound
between us
wind takes the leaf for a dance
a temporary romance
between us
the balloon's flying too high
all the kids know it's goodbye
between us
plants they sway so gracefully
but nature is its own bully
like two dogs chained far apart
there'll only be lonely barks in the dark
between us
the pain that keeps us proud
is what makes it all too loud
between us
plants they sway so gracefully
but nature is its own bully
like falling off a horse
I'll soon be out of metaphors
about us
I smoke factory cigarettes
I'm done with placing bets
on us.

Something Dumb
02:56
|
|||
|
spent my last love on a cheap desert
you think if you don't try it might not hurt
spent my last money trying to fix the light
the first idea I had that was bright
spent my last kiss on your sweet cheek
you wouldn't know 'cause you were still asleep
but then I went and did something dumb
one of those things you learn from
spent my last luck at my favorite bar
even the best poison won't get you far
spent my last courage on a movie-line
now I have to walk without a spine
lost my last friends on a carousel
everything's for sale if you wanna sell
but then I went and did something dumb
one of those things you learn from
spent my last lover on a chicken leg
I even came back when he started to beg
spent my family on an airplane ticket
guess I'm just first class wicked
but then I went and did something dumb
one of those things you learn from
spent my last words on a good looking suit
now I cannot tell you, you look so cute
spent my last doubts on a cold, cold shower
I'd trade my love life for another happy hour
but then I went and did something dumb
one of those things you learn from

No Simple Love Song
04:00
|
|||
|
I put on a slightly better shirt
maybe looking good will make you hurt
got my Roy Orbison-sunglasses
can't help but stand out in the masses
chewing on your favorite bubble gum
saying sorry that was the last one
got something for you in these tight jeans
baby I'll use every means
to get you back in my bed
so I can get you out of my head
but I'ive been tricked, fooled and led
if I cant have what I want
give me something else instead
this ain't no simple love song
I'm on the tower like King Kong
this ain't no simple little love song
I'm on the tower like King Kong
I'm not concerned with petty little things
I'm just concerned with real pretty things
I walk with a soldier's confidence
get out of my way if you got any sense
let me be your sexy sailor
instead of your favorite failure
cause I'll tailor all my love for you
wear a dress or paint my face blue
but you've had a little more than enough
you started acting tough
this smile doesn't break old ice
it hurts me even more when we both act nice
this ain't no simple little love song
I'm on the tower like King Kong
this ain't no simple my-love-left-me-love song
I'm on the tower like King Kong
nothing is permanent it's just different degrees of temporary
I guess I am the meling icecream and you are my cherry
so eat it all up but please leave a note
dont forget your hat and that lovely winter coat
I got a locket from a lover in another life
you get a cleaner break when you sharpen the knife.
this ain't no simple love song
I'm on the tower like King Kong
this ain't no simple love song
I'm on the fucking tower like King Kong

Bubble Gum Tattoo
02:00
|

|
my love for you is like a bubble gum tattoo
my love for you is a bubble gum tattoo
it will last you for days
but be sure it fades
it might look real at first
but the bubble's gonna first
don't you show off
it's gonna wear off
don't you show off
it's gonna wash off
I ain't got no name on my chest
I'm saving that space
for me?
just for the best
my love for you
my love for you
is like a bubble bum tattoo
my love for you is a buble gum tattoo
gonna make you feel tough and and look cool
leave you feeling feeling and looking like a fool
my love for you
my love for you is like a bubble gum tattoo
babe you gonna have to watch your feet
you'll end up being spit out on the street
my love for you
is like a bubble gum tatto
my love for you is a bubble gum tattoo

I Don't Need Romance
01:23
|

|
talking makes me nervous
and drinking makes me dance
the girls the make me lonely
but I dont need romance
drinking makes me lonely
the girls they make me dance
talking makes me nervous
but I dont need romance
talking makes me lonely
drinking makes me dance
girls they make me nervous
but I dont need romance
drinking makes me lonely
and all this talk of romance
the girls they make me nervous
but I dont need to dance
girls they make me talk
the drinking makes me dance
I'm nervous and I'm lonely
but I dont need romance
dancing makes me nervous
and the girls they make me drink
I'm lonely and romantic
but I dont have time to think

Coffee Black Eyes
03:15
|

what secrets are behind
those coffee black eyes
you told me from the start
you love a lover that can tell good lies
your mouth guards something so profound
hair teasing like curtains in the wind
making me wanna confess
before i even have time to sin
you scare the love right out of me
with lethal smile ands lolita winks
throw me a life boat
unless you just wanna watch me sink
well i've lied many times before
but it didn't get me who i needed
now i just tell stories
and it's the first time i succeeded
nurse me back to something more familiar
let me hear you sing
you see the sky is turning into ash
and i know just the sorrow it'll bring
hanging out the window of my litle room
I try to see past the graveyeards and its tombs
I miss a night that never really happened
I miss you dancing beaneath the concrete moon
let me be your love and latest dissapointment
or just another footnote to your book
if you promise me you'll close your eyes
I'll try my best not to look.

I'll Make You Blue
01:36
|
|||
|
I need water, money and a soul
and a boy to keep me whole
I need sugar, a gun and a ride
to keep him and me satisfied
I ain't greedy, bad or nothin'
I ain't no wolf huffin' and puffin'
I just need what's good and mine
besides that I'm doing fine
I'll make you blue
if not me, then who?
I'll be out of your hair
when I get what's fair and square
don't you ever try to fool me
and don't you ever try to school me
I can satan if I need to
I can be the air that you breathe through
the only mouth that feeds you
or the love that'll never leave you.
I'll make you blue
if not me, then who?
I'll make you blue
if not me, then who?

I used to think that waiting was a bore
at least I had something to wait for
I have grown to love cold coffee
maybe you can grow to love me
I can be your stay at home little lover
waiting for you to get home under the cover
I thought you'd be an easy seduction
a little love and a little suction
rolling in and out of beds
always landing on her feet
a kiss for you, a kiss for me
we'll both be out by January
she said "I don't need you more than I need myself
and I don't need you more than I need help
but I've been known to be a killer of time
come over boy I'll let you cut the line"
and she said "I have a boyfriend and I'm fine with just the one
and I said "you never know when you might need another one"
a decent lover is hard to find
men can't be trusted and boys they change their mind
rolling in and out of beds
always landing on her feet
a kiss for you, a kiss for me
we'll both be out by January

Recovering From You
03:03
|
|||
|
I know I look sick but I feel great
I found a way to turn my love into hate
the trick is to avoid and never give in
to all the reflections of your original sin
I'm a bit more free and a bit more weak
I haven't spoken to anyone in a week
I know it won't pass or be like before
but I just aint ready to take part in the war
I guess I'm still recovering from you
saw you last night and you looked a bit too good
a bit more happy than you should
a bit more pretty than I thought you would
I guess I'm still recovering from you
I wanna go back to the time i was good
I try to tell myself I was just misunderstood
could there be hope or love without desire
or is it as hopeless as truth to a liar
one of these days it will all come out
how I treated you and how you could shout
there's a ringing in my head and I can't figure out
if it's too silent or if it is too loud
cause I'm still recovering from you
saw you last night and you looked a bit too good
a bit more happy than you should
a bit more pretty than I thought you would
I guess I'm still recovering from you

Weep When It Rains
02:22
|
|||
|
I weep easy and I weep hard
I weep in every kind of weather
tears water the flowers in my yard
the tears keep ruining my good leather
I wept always more than you
I made everybody blue
but you never shed a tear
atleast from what I could hear
I used to weep in sunshine
and when the sky was blue
I wept when everything was fine
and I had nothing else to
I wept always more than you
I made everybody blue
but you never shed a tear
atleast from what I could hear
I still weep when I'm alone
can't get my eyes off the phone
theres less and less pain
now I only weep when it rains

You Stand There Smiling
02:47
|
|||
|
seems like I'm still familiar to you
you make it feel like that's always been true
but looks are deceiving and I'm no fool
I can't be hustled like a game of pool
I dont need your games more than you need mine
dont think I'll wait for you to cross some line
I try to protect myself against your little smile
but it just leaves me doubtin everything for a while
you stand there smiling like a bride at the sound of churchbells
but you wouldn't want me even if I was someone else
I need a new home and I even need a new god
you don't get nowhere following a dowsing rod
I never found noone, even you found me
best of luck to us, now leave me be
dont save a single photograph
no poems or letters on my behalf
I won't look back in the rear view mirror
cause all the past want is to make it clearer
that all is lost and scared away
like a lovers moon at the break of day
you stand there smiling like a bride at the sound of churchbells
but you wouldn't want me even if I was someone else
holes in the road they dont yet exist
they're all in your mind like the girls you've never kissed
the streets become new ones and all the shops close
people just seem like they got stuck in a pose
you stand there smiling like a bride at the sound of churchbells
but you wouldn't want me even if I was someone else
you stand there smiling like a bride at the sound of churchbells
but you wouldn't want me even if I was someone else

I know I left you, but I can't remember why
you said some day we'll both look back and cry
the past didn't turn out the way we want
nobody told us the good times can haunt
I used to be the king of my heart
lately I feel just like its jester
I loved you right from the start
thinking it was just a nice little gesture
but what's the use in obsessing
when all I do is plain guessing
it just all seems so depressing
when it's not me you're caressing
I take no comfort in a future that's bright
I'm all dressed up but no bull to fight
my hearts not broken there's been a theft
you'll be the greatest girl that ever left.
but what's the use in obsessing
when all I do is plain guessing
it just all seems so depressing
when it's not me you're caressing
you're in my head when I'm in my bed
I never meant half the bad things I said
you're in my bed when I'm in my head
I'm killing so much time I should be dead
I have to confess
all I do is obssess
cause I can't process
that this might be for the best

Gypsy Spell
03:33
|
|||
|
perfume on my pillow and your hair on my sheets
I keep listening to your heart just to know fast it beats
we talk and laugh, anything but pray
the church nearby chimes in for some old holiday
you have to be somewhere, I don't
you say you'll but we both know you won't
you're more potent than a gypsy spell
you have the nerve to show me heaven then you give me hell
since you left I've been getting tired
of finding your hair in my bed like barb wire
and all around the room, I just assume
they belong to you eventhough they could belong to quite a few
I used to like these kind of affairs
maybe I still do and I'm just splitting hairs
you're more potent than a gypsy spell
you have the nerve to show me heaven then you give me hell
I see you everytime I try to leave the house
but I can't play this game when we're both the cat and mouse
so dye your hair and change your name aswell
anything that will make it hard for me to tell
that you're the best and will always be
a bird that landed on my chest but now is free
you're more potent than a gypsy spell
you have the nerve to show me heaven then you give me hell
you're more potent than a gypsy spell
I'm done with heaven come give me hell.

Lily Says
03:09
|
|||
|
I've stopped drinking for too long to have a drink
I've done too much stupid shit to look back and think
I've let chances pass to many times to give up now
I've been told to sit and stand too many times to bow
I've been alone for as long as I dare to think back
they say focus on what you got and not on what you lack
you were beautiful but pretty much insane
it makes it easier to think it all was in vain
Lily got two names, one for me and one for her
claims her winter coat is of some extinct animal's fur
threee 'o clock she'd always start to cry
I asked her one time and she almost told me why
but she's not of this world where you're born and die alone
she don't use electronics and have never owned a phone
she's got no symapthy for my pain or my touch
using love like a cain or sex like a crutch
I've seen people dream themselves to sleep and wake up dead
or spend a lifetime stumbling in and out of different beds
looking for the right ones but finding all the wrongs
reading all the right books but speaking back in tounges
so dream yourself to sleep but be sure to wake up soon
'cause statistically it's harder to get out of bed at noon
Lily said she'd get better but she's only gotten worse
I guess this kind of love is just a lovely little curse
I woke up this morning and I answered the call
a friend of mine told me life is just this long lasting fall
like one of those dreams where you just keep faling down
except for in life you don't wake up before you hit the ground

fever dreams on a burning bed
it's a shame you can't escape your head
if only you'd be here and take care of my worries
you can have your heart back
I know I'm selfish and quite cruel
but I'm done with saying sorry
not happy but a bit more free, free with time to worry
you can have your heart back
how are you doing these days
or should I say both of you
why be honest when you can be true
I need a girl or something else to do
you can have your heart back
never met a girl I didn't like
never met a woman I didn't fight
sometimes I wonder if there was even once I was right
you can have your heart back
I'm still bitter and full of fire
I wouldn't trust you with myself
if I can't have you and then I sure as hell need help
you stab me with a cigarette
but there's no sign of regret
just a smile you used to give
from a life we used to live
you can have your heart back

Do You Remember Me?
02:29
|
|||
|
do you remember me darling
by my sweet songs and kisses
or the stubborn walks I walk
by my tounge-tied gaze
or the everlasting praise
do you remember me honey
by my laugh and smiles
or our endless talks
by my silly nightmares
or the worries or and the cares
do you remember me baby
by my direction and will
or our fights and battles
by my jealous creations
or all the other temptations
do you remember me sugar
by all my superstitions
or our secret jokes
by my low self esteem
or my stupid little dream
