It's so cold in this house
Open mouth swallowing us
The children sent home from school
Will not stop crying

And I know that you're busy too
I know that you care
You got your finger on the pulse
You got your eyes everywhere
And it hurts all the time when you
don't return my calls
And you haven't got the time to
remember how it was
It's so cold in this house
It's so cold in this house

I can't eat, I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't dream
An aversion to light
Got a fear of the ocean

Like drinking poison, like eating glass

It's so cold in this house
Come and show me how it was

We've got crosses on our eyes
Been walking into the walls again
We've got crosses on our eyes
Been walking into the furniture
We've got crosses on our eyes
For richer, for poorer, for better, for
worse
We've got crosses on our eyes
We've been walking into the
furniture


. . .


North to south
Empty
Running on
Bravado
As if to say, as if to say
He doesn't like chocolate
He's born a liar, he'll die a liar
Some things will never be different

Stop being so American
There's a time and there's a place
So James Dean
So blue jeans
Gonna save the world
He's gonna

Are you hoping for a miracle?

Three out of five, three out of five
(it's not enough)
Six out of ten
Better luck next time
Just like his Dad, just like his Dad
(the same mistakes)
Some things will never be different
Hungry and dumb, hungry and dumb
(so wait in line)
Queuing up for some more junk food
It's not my fault, it's not my fault
(just this once)
They're getting so much younger

Why can't you be more European
Bastard child of guilt and shame
Bury your head in the sand
I'm thinking six, six, six
I'm thinking six

Are you hoping for a miracle?
It's not enough.

He said that you're just as boring as
everyone else
When you tut and you moan
And you squeal and you squelch
He said you're just as boring as
everyone else
Nothing ever happens

Things replace things
Days replace days
Things replace things

She said I'm going to use my teeth
and my claws
She said I'm going to use my teeth
and my claws
She said I'm going to use my teeth
and my breasts
I'm gonna make it happen
She said

Run run run run run run
And you cannot run or ever, ever
escape
And you cannot hide or ever run
away
Something glorious is about to
happen
The reckoning

They say you're just as boring as
everyone else
When you tut and you squeal
And you squeal and you squelch
They say you're just as boring as
everyone else
Stuck past timing
The fear and the yearning
The fear and the consumption
The fear and the yearning
It's gonna eat you alive
They go...

Run run run run run run
And you cannot hide or ever, put it
away
And you cannot run or ever, ever
escape
Something glorious is about to
happen
The reckoning

They go...
They say...

Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
Success, success, success is over
Why'd you have to get
So fucking useless

Play it cool boy
Play it cool


. . .


A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I can give you life, I can take it away

A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I'm working it out
Why'd you feel so underrated?
Why'd you feel so negated?

Turning away from the light
Becoming adult
Turning into my soul
I wanted to bite not destroy
To feel her underneath
Turning into the light

She don't think straight
No, no, no,
She don't think straight
She's got such a dirty mind and it
never ever stops
And you don't taste like her and you
never ever will
And we don't read the papers, we
don't read the news
Heaven's never enough, we will
never be fooled

Turning away from the light
Becoming adult
Turning into my soul
I wanted to bite not destroy
To feel her underneath
Turning into the light

And if you feel a little left behind
We will wait for you on the other
side

And if you feel a little left behind
We will wait for you on the other
side

I'm on fire
Cos you know I'm on fire when you
come
Cos you know I'm on fire
Cos you know I'm on fire so stub me
out

Cos I'm on fire, cos I'm on fire
Cos I'm on fire, cos I'm on fire


. . .


You'll find it hiding in shadows

You'll find it hiding in cupboards
It will walk you home safe every
night
It will help you remember

If that's way it is
Then that's the way it is

I still feel you and the taste of
cigarettes
What could I ever run to
Just tell me it's tearing you apart
Just tell me you cannot sleep

And you didn't even notice
When the sky turned blue
And you couldn't tell the difference
Between me and you
And I nearly didn't notice
The gentlest feeling

You are the bluest light


. . .


She's hearing voices call her
She's hearing voices warn her
She just can't sleep in her bed
She just can't sleep
She's falling down the stairs
She's tearing out her hair
She's screaming my name, in the
night
To keep her warm

She got a red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Milk of amnesia

She's scared of the blacks
And she's scared of the Jews
She is walking around
She is yesterday's news
And she screams out my name
In the dead of the night
She is leaving my room
She is crying on her side
Walking on eggshells
Walking on glass
Burnt by the mirror
Burnt by the light
Feeling rejection I'll burn down your
house
Tearing down posters
I was never alive


. . .


To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me
You bought me a book
To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
I've been paid
I've been paid

Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts
And keep making me smile
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
I get tongue-tied
Baby, you've got to be more
discerning
I've never known what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more
demanding
I will be yours

I'll pay for you anytime

You told me you wanted to eat up
my sadness
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge
away
You told me you wanted to eat up
my sadness
Jump right on
Baby, you've got to be more
discerning
I've known never known what's good
for me
Baby, you've got to be more
demanding
I will be yours

What are you holding out for?
What's always in the way?
Why so damn absent-minded?
Why so scared of romance?

This modern love breaks me
This modern love wastes me

Do you wanna come over and kill
some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill
some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill
some time?
Throw your arms around me.


. . .


If it can be broke then it can be
fixed, if it can be fused then it
can be split
It's all under control
If it can be lost then it can be won, if
it can be touched then it
can be turned
All you need is time

We promised the world we'd tame it,
what were we hoping for?

A sense of purpose and a sense of
skill, a sense of function
but a disregard
We will not be the first, we won't
You said you were going to conquer
new frontiers,
Go stick your bloody head in the
jaws of the beast

We promised the world we'd tame it,
what were we hoping for?

Breath in, breath out

So here we are reinventing the
wheel
I'm shaking hands with a hurricane
It's a colour that I can't describe,
It's a language I can't understand
Ambition, tearing out the heart of
you
Carving lines into you
Dripping down the sides of you

We will not be the last.



. . .


I've been driving, a mid sized car,
I never hurt anyone
Is that a fact?
The price of gas keeps on rising
Nothing comes for free
Make like a stone, make like a plant
I can tell you, how this ends

We're going to win this

With spades and truncheons, guns
and trowels
That is how the war will be won
Just swat the fly
Taking care of cars and bodies
Nothing ever comes for me
The ghosts are here, red white and
blue
I can tell you how this ends

We're going to win this



. . .


I caught a glimpse
But it's been forgotten
So here we are
Again

I made a vow
To carry you home

I really tried
To be what you wanted
It all went wrong
Again

I made a vow
To carry you home
If you fall sick
If you pass out

I figured it out

I can see it again



. . .


And you're tired of your Mum
And you're tired of your Dad
Got you jumping through hoops
Got you shaving your legs
Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass
over you

And you're tired of your face
And you're tired of your nose
Got you jumping through hoops
Got you shaving your legs
Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass
through you

And your nose is bleeding
And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

And your nose is bleeding
And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

There will be no hesitation
There will be no confrontation
There will be no indication
There will be no cause
There will be no exultation
There will be no justification
There will be no way at all

And your nose is bleeding
And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

And your nose is bleeding
And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

Come back to me the the way you
were
The way you were when we were
young
I'm trying to tell you everything
I'm trying to tell you everything

I can heal the blind
I can cure the sick
I can heal the blind
I can cure the sick
I can say the right things
I can say the right things
Where d'you get so cruel
Where d'you get so cruel
Where d'you get so cruel
Where d'you get so cruel
Where do you go
Cos you're never here


And your nose is bleeding
And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

And your nose is bleeding
And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

Come back to me the the way you
were
The way you were when we were
young
I'm trying to tell you everything
I'm trying to tell you everything



. . .


Wake up dreamer
It's happening without you
Cut your hair and shave your beard
You squandered your chances
I'll give you a thousand pounds
To show me how you do it
Stop being so laissez-faire
We're all scared of the future

Been training vipers to come for you
In your dreams to release you
Been training vipers to come for you
In your sleep
And the ravens are leaving the
tower
And the ravens are leaving the
tower
And the ravens are leaving the
tower
Make your peace

I've got a taste for blood
Leave the weak, leave the young
I've got a taste for blood
I'm walking out without you
You will kill or be killed
It's about progress
I've got a taste for blood

Wake up sleepyhead
It's happening without you
Such a nice guy
You tell me everything twice
Whipcrack speed jump
We will run backwards
Stop being so laissez-faire
We're all scared of the future

We make plans for big times
Get bogged down, distracted
We make plans for good times
All neon, all surface
So kiss me before it all gets
complicated
I've got a taste for blood

(I've got a taste for blood)
(I've got a taste for blood)
(I've got a taste for blood)
(I've got a taste for blood)



. . .


We sit and we sigh

And nothing gets done
So right, so clued-up
We just get old

And all the while
Been torn asunder

Nicotine

And bacteria

What are we coming to

What are we gonna do


. . .
