You've got to find yourself a place to stay anyway
'Cause I ain't stayin' around anymore, no way
Now you'd better leave
Cause I I'm gonna find
Myself another
Take that gun blow your mind take that gun
Go ahead and make my day
You got to find another piece of wax anyway
'Cause I think it's over now it melted down
Just the other day
Take that gun blow your mind take that gun
Go ahead and make my day
Take that gun blow your mind take that gun

I'm no Jesus but I'm close to him,
we talk all the while.
I'm no Jesus but he comforts me,
we walk side by side.
On the water we walk religiously.
On the water we talk seriously.
The pool is dirty but I'm feeling clean,
love is the drug.
I need a rush and then he comes to me,
he gives me a hug.
Fill my pockets with stones but I can't sink.
Help me if you believe.
Ain't no Jesus around here anymore,
deserted the game.
How come he didn't know that love was a whore?
Hope to see him again.
Fill my pockets with stones but I can't sink.
Help me if you believe.

I am the paper
above the skyscraper.
They tried to rape her,
she couldn't reach higher.
I am the paper
above the skyscraper.
They tried to rape her,
she couldn't reach higher.
Polly yesterday,
found another way.
Polyesterday,
synthetic one way or the other.
In public, public,
they said she was sick
in Buick, Buick.
Driving naked for an hour.
Stark naked!
Polly yesterday,
found another way.
Polly said today
she'd find another way,
tomorrow.
Her people didn't know,
her family didn't know.

Do you remember when we had all
When we floated on waves of water
We were something something dark and slick
I like your style ah man we move together
Ah ha we were dancing through doorways and motels
Big hot summer day, it was ? july ?
Streets of angels streets of freedom
But you probably may know why
Why
Do you remember the singing the dancing
The curly waves, the lovely jokes you said.
Neither waiting at the sound of desire
Last tuck you always say makes you a man
Aw barry you should have danced with me all night long
Yah all night long
'cause you got so much to give
There were times when I had to know
You had so much to give
You should have danced with me danced with me
'cause you had so much to give
Had to know

Walking in circles around me,
watching my breath freeze.
Walking so slowly around me,
watching my breath freeze.
The smoke is white and it's cold,
and it snows on my face.
The sky is frozen,
without a motion, we kill them.
Tell me how much you can hate,
who can we humiliate?
You know it's true that we have
all got the poison.
I wash the blood off my hands,
after you leave me.
I wash the blood off my feet,
after you leave me.
Your chest, your breast
has melted my face.
The smile is frozen,
without a motion, we kill them.
Tell me how much you can hate,
who can we humiliate?
You know it's true that...

Tomorrow is just another day,
when I let the sunshine meet my conscience.
You told me stories, giving me new ideas.
But then only you, you know the answers.
I wait longing for you, baby.
There's no one around me, wanting me...
Cause you know, and I know, enough to understand.
I'm a warm waiting idol, above.
Is this what you want?
Do you want a piece of mine?
Tell me now, are you short of cash?
Our thing was made to last.
Tell me, tell me now.
Tell me why.
Yet enough that day is waiting.
Love don't mean nothing, 'cause I'm alive, oh...
Hear me out, hear me out, I'm calling, strolling,
with an airplane ticket, and nowhere to go, nowhere to go...
Is this what you want?
Do you want a piece of mine?
Tell me now, are you short of cash?
Our thing was made to last.
Tell me, tell me now.
Tell me now.
Is this what you want?
Do you want a piece of mine?
Tell me now, are you short of cash?
Our thing was made to last.
Tell me, tell me now.
Tell me, tell me now.
Tell me, tell me now.
Tell me why...

When I feel alone, inside, away from love.
When you don't wanna know, I give like you give to me.
Wherever you will stay, someday, hiding, afraid.
Then I'll understand, I don't love you anymore.
How can this be?
How can this be so real?
Oversized clouds embrace me, thrills of sorrow...
How can this be?
How can this be so real?
Lay me by your side.
Lay me where you need.
And I'll be there, shining on you.
With nothing to concieve, up there, love to truth.
Fearful winds will change and rise, and smoke me up away.
Whenever live is cunt (Suck it, Lick it) and blue,
I remember you.

Is Jesus your pal?
Do you call out his name,
when your concience is shivering?
Do you need someone too,
just like those people who
find peace in someone's promises?
You sure don't need my promises...
So come and sit on my box,
enjoy the view of this water,
where my lifeboat is sinking.
If you open your eyes,
take a look at this mess,
could you fake your reflection, child?
If you reach out for more,
you'll find nothing but sorrow.
'Cause knowledge is hollow.
And pride is hard to swallow.
So come and sit on my box,
enjoy the view of this water,
where my lifeboat is sinking.
