Well, I live with snakes and lizards
And other things that go bump in the night
'Cause to me, every day is Halloween

I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight - well, any time
Any place, anywhere that I go
All the people seem to stop and stare, they say

"Why are you dressed like it's Halloween?
You look so absurd, you look so obscene"
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

Well, I let their teeny minds think
That they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
And I dress this way just to keep them at bay
'Cause Halloween is every day, it's every day, oh

Why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me?
I'm not the one that's so absurd, why hide it?

Why fight it? Hurt feelings, best to stop feeling
Hurt from denials, reprisals, it's the same
It's the same in the whole wide world

love love is like an open hand stings a little when it lands hold me closer
hold me tighter hold me so damn close that my heart's on fire it's a
fantasy it's a nightmare and the whole damn world is walking round in
theirs i said love love is like a razor blade double edge and double pain
hold me closer hold me tighter when i rip your flesh and the pain is fresh
it's a fantasy it's a nightmare and the whole damn world doesn't seem to
care i said love love is like a butcher knife double sharp for single lives
hold me closer hold me tighter as the lights go out and we start to shout
it's a fantasy it's a nightmare with a big black bruise and a handful of
hair i said love

well i'm hiding my eyes from the morning sun
and i keep on working till the work is all done
but a voice in my head keeps ticking away
as the sweat's hosed down from yet another day
well he works hard
and he lives hard
and he breaks his back without nothing to gain
while the boss man sits around and drinks champagne

all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one transition
all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one decision

well i'm peeling the blisters off my working hand
is that what it takes to make you understand?
that it's something you read, not something you meant
to be slaving away without a shred of integrity
he worked hard
and he lived hard
and he broke his back without nothing to say
while the man in control was just laughing away

all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one transition
all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one decision

was it something you read?
was it something you meant?
was it something you said?
or was it heaven sent?

all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one transition
all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one decision

cold

you know the yolk it's spreading from
you laugh as people scatter 'bout
surrounded by a veil of stars
you realize your life is dark

earth gets colder every day
if scientists could have their way
they'd study us from far away
and watch as people's minds decay

cold

your body's in the hands of fools
with swimming pools and low iq's
there's nothing to see, nothing to do
buy your stocks and sell your jewels

bill collectors stole my mail
my wife and kids are all for sale
i hope to god i go to jail
and no one can come up with bail

cold life

i can't control my buried thoughts
the slightest thing makes me distraught
i'm like the people i once fought
my every action's being bought

robot trainers earn their pay
as mutant kids go out to play
it's such a pretty pretty day
with orange nights and days of grey

cold

i've now become a nervous wreck
i'm getting closer to my death
i keep expecting my last breath
as all my friends just laugh and jest

the earth is such a filthy place
and human such an awful race
and i'd rather live in outer space
where death goes at a slower pace

cold life
