I Brought You My Bullets,
You Brought Me Your Love (2002)
"Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us"
The
amount of pills I'm taking counteracts the booze I'm drinking
and this vanity I'm breaking, lets me live my life like this
and
well I find it hard to stay, with the words you say
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in
Well I'll choose the life
I've taken, never mind the friends I'm making
and the beauty that I'm faking lets me live my life like this
And well
I find it hard to stay, with the words you say
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in
And you can cry all you want to,
I don't care how much
You'll invest yourself in me, we're not working out
And you can't touch my brother and you
can't keep my friends
and we're not working out, we're not working out
This time I mean it, never mind the times I've
seen it
Well I hope I'm not mistaken by the news I heard from waking
and it's hard to say I'm shaken, by the choices
that I make
and well I find it hard to stay, with the words you say
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in
Well I'll
choose this life I've taken, never mind the friends I'm making
And I get a little shaken, because I live my life like this
And
well I find it hard to stay, with the words you say
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in
And you can cry all you want
to, I don't care how much
You'll invest yourself in me, we're not working out
And you can't keep my brother, and
you won't fuck my friends
and we're not working out, we're not working out
This time I mean it, never mind the times
I've seen it
Never again, never again
Oh baby let me in
I'm knocking let me in
"Vampires Will Never Hurt You"
And if
they get me and the sun goes down into the ground
And if they get me take this spike to my heart and
And if they get
me and the sun goes down
And if they get me take this spike and
You put the spike in my heart
And if the sun
comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones
And then as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks I saw you there
Someone
get me to the doctor, someone get me to a church
Where they can pump this venom gaping hole
And you must keep your soul
like a secret in your throat
And if they come and get me
You put the spike in my heart
And if they get me and
the sun goes down
And if they get me take this spike and
[Chorus]
Can you take this spike?
Will it
fill our hearts with thoughts of endless
Night time sky
Can you take this spike?
Will it wash away this jet black
feeling?
And now the nightclub set the stage for this they come in pairs she said
We'll shoot back holy water like
cheap whiskey they're always there
Someone get me to the doctor, and someone call the nurse
And someone buy me roses,
and someone burned the church
We're hanging out with corpses, we're driving in this hearse
Someone save my soul tonight,
please save my soul
[Chorus]
And as these days watch over time, and as these days watch over time
And
as these days watch over us tonight
[x2]
I'll never let them, I'll never let them
I'll never let them
hurt you not tonight
I'll never let them, I can't forget them
I'll never let them hurt you, I promise
Struck
down, before our prime
Before, you got off the floor
Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
Can you
stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
(Do these thoughts of endless nights
bring us back into the light
and they
catapult my heart?)
[x2]
Can you stake me before the sun goes down?
(And as always, innocent like
roller coasters.
Fatality is like ghosts in snow and you have no idea what you're up against
because I've seen what
they look like.
Becoming perfect as if they were sterling silver chainsaws going cascading...)
"Drowning Lessons"
Without a sound I
took her down
and dressed in red and blue I squeezed
Imaginary wedding gown
That you can't wear in front of me
A
kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Lets say goodbye, the hundredth time
And
then tomorrow we'll do it again
Tomorrow we'll do it again
I dragged her down I put her out
And back there I
left her where no one could see
And lifeless cold into this well
I stared as this moment was held for me
A kiss goodbye,
your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Let's say goodbye, the hundredth time
And then tomorrow
we'll do it again
I never thought it'd be this way
Just me and you, we're here alone
And if you stay, all I'm
asking for is
A thousand bodies piled up
I never thought would be enough
To show you just what I've been thinking
And
I'll keep on making more
Just to prove that I adore
Every inch of sanity
All I'm asking for is, all I'm asking for
is
These hands stained red
From the times that I've killed you and then
We can wash down this engagement
ring
With poison and kerosene
We'll laugh as we die
And we'll celebrate the end of things
With cheap champagne
Without,
without a sound [x2]
And I wish you away
Without a sound
And I wish you away
Without a sound, without
a sound
And I wish you away
[x3]
"Our Lady Of Sorrows"
We could be perfect one last
night
And die like star-crossed lovers when we fight
And we can settle this affair
If you would shed your yellow
take my hand
And then we'll solve the mystery of laceration gravity
This riddle of revenge please understand it has
to be this way and
[Chorus]
Stand up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back
Take my fucking hand
and
never be afraid again
We've only got one chance to put this at an end
and cross the patron saint of switchblade
fights
You said we're not celebrities, we spark and fade, they die by threes
I'll make you understand and you can trade
me for an apparition
[Chorus]
Stand up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back
Take my fucking hand
and
never
Trust, you said
Who put the words in your head
Oh how wrong we were to think
That immortality meant
never dying
Stand
Take my fucking hand
Take my fucking...
[Chorus]
Stand up fucking tall
Don't
let them see your back
Take my fucking hand
and never be afraid again
"Headfirst For Halos"
Yeah!
Well let's go back
to the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now the red ones
make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling
And as the fragments
of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts
[Chorus]
And we'll
fly home
We'll fly home
You and I
We'll fly home
Come on!
Well now I'm back in the middle of the day
that starts it all.
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling.
And now these red ones make me fly,
And
the blue ones help me fall.
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling.
[Chorus]
And we'll fly
home,
You and I,
We'll fly home.
Now honestly that's what I said to her, what I said to her
Think happy
thoughts [x8]
Think ha... wooo!
"Skylines And Turnstiles"
You're not in this alone
Let
me break this awkward silence
Let me go, go on record
Be the first to say I'm sorry
Hear me out,
Well if you
take me down
Or would you lay me out
And if the world needs something better
Let's give them one more reason now
We
walk in single file
We light our rails and punch our time
Ride escalators colder than a cell
[Chorus]
This
broken city sky like butane on my skin
and stolen from my eyes
Hello Angel, tell me where are you
Tell me where we
go from here
[x2]
Tell me we go from...
And in this moment we can't close the lids on burning eyes
Our
memories blanket us with friends we know like fallout vapor
Steel corpses stretch out towards an ending sun, scorched and
black
It reaches in and tears your flesh apart
As ice cold hands rip into your heart
That's if you've still got
one that's left inside that cave you call a chest
And after seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence
And
if the world needs something better, let's give them one more reason now
[Chorus]
This broken city sky like
butane on my skin
and stolen from my eyes
Hello Angel, tell me where are you
Tell me where we go from here
[x2]
Tell
me we go from here
"Early Sunsets Over Monroeville"
Late dawns
and early sunsets, just like my favorite scenes
Then holding hands and life was perfect, just like up on the screen
And
the whole time while always giving
Counting your face among the living
Up and down escalators, pennies and colder
fountains
Elevators and half price sales, trapped in by all these mountains
Running away and hiding with you
I never
thought they'd get me here
Not knowing you changed from just one bite
I fought them all off just to hold you close and
tight
But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head...
But
would anything matter if you're already dead?
And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?
Before I pull
this trigger,
Your eyes vacant and stained...
But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had
the guts to put this to your head...
And would anything matter if you're already dead?
And now should I be shocked
by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger,
Your eyes vacant and stained...
And in saying you loved
me,
Made things harder at best,
And these words changing nothing
As your body remains,
And there's no room in
this hell,
There's no room in the next,
And our memories defeat us,
And I'll end this direst.
But does anyone
notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head...
But does anything matter if you're
already dead?
And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger,
Your eyes vacant
and stained...
And in saying you loved me,
Made things harder at best,
And these words changing nothing
As your
body remains,
And there's no room in this hell,
There's no room in the next,
But does anyone notice there's a corpse
in this bed?
"This Is The Best Day Ever"
And we can run,
from the backdrop of these gears and scalpels
At every hour goes the tick-tock bang of monitors as
They stared us down
when we met in the emergency room
And in our beds, I could hear you breathe with help from cold machines
Every hour,
on the hour, they drew blood
Well I felt I couldn't take, another day inside this place
From silent dreams we never
wake, and in this promise that we'll make
Starless eyes for heaven's sake, but I hear you anyway
Well I thought I heard
you
Say I like you, we can get out
We don't have to stay, stay inside this place
Someday, this day, we kept falling
down
Someday, this day, set the ferris wheel ablaze
You left my heart an open wound
And I love you for
This day,
someday we kept falling down
One day, this day all we had to keep us safe
And if we never sleep again, it would never
end
Well I thought I heard you say to me
We'll go so far, far as we can
And I just can't stay, one day we'll run
away
"Cubicles"
It's the tearing sound of love-notes
Drowning
out the gray stained windows
And the view outside is sterile
And I'm only two cubes down
I'd photocopy all the things
that we could be
If you took the time to notice me
But you can't now, I don't blame you
And it's not your fault that
no one ever does
[Chorus:]
But you don't work here anymore
Its just a vacant 3 by 4
And they might
fill your place
A temporary stand-in for your face
This happens all the time
And I can't help but think I'll die
alone
So I'll spend my time with strangers
A condition and it's terminal
In this water-cooler romance
And
it's coming to a close
We could be in the park and dancing by a tree
Kicking over blades we see
Or a dark beach with
a black view
And pin-pricks in the velvet catch our fall
[Chorus]
I know you don't work here anymore
[x6]
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, sometimes I think I'll die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone,
live and breathe and die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, sometimes I think I'll die alone
Sometimes I think
I'll die alone, I'd think I'd love to die alone
Just take
I think I'd love to die
Me down
I think I'd love
to die
Just take
I think I'd love to die
Me down
I think I'd love to die alone [x4]
Live and breathe
and die alone
I think I'd love to die alone [x2]
I think I'd love to die alone
"Demolition Lovers"
Hand in mine, into your
icy blues
And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway
With this trunk of ammunition too
I'd end my days
with you in a hail of bullets
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know just how much you mean to me
And after all
the things we put each other through and
I would drive on to the end with you
A liquor store or two keeps the gas
tank full
And I feel like there's nothing left to do
But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running
But this
time, I mean it
I'll let you know just how much you mean to me
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of everything
I'm
trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
Until the
end, until this pool of blood
Until this, I mean this, I mean this
Until the end of...
I'm trying, I'm trying
To
let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
But this time, we'll show them
We'll
show them all how much we mean
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of every...
All we are, all we are
Is
bullets I mean this
[x4]
As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms
Forever, forever
Like scarecrows
that fuel this flame we're burning
Forever, and ever
Know how much I want to show you you're the only one
Like a
bed of roses there's a dozen reasons in this gun
And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood
And as we're
touching hands, and as we're falling down
And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down
I'll see your eyes, and
in this pool of blood
I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever
"Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" (2004)
"Helena"
Long ago
Just like the hearse
you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives
of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And
like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst
that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When
every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take (worst you
take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been
holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long
and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet
again
When both our cars collide?
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I
stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
"Give 'Em Hell, Kid"
Oh baby here comes the sound!
I
took a train outta New Orleans and they shot me full of ephedrine.
This is how we like to do it in the murder scene.
Can
we settle up the score?
[Chorus]
If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But
I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're beautiful!
Well I'm a total wreck and almost every day.
Like
the firing squad or the mess you made.
Well don't I look pretty walking down the street.
In the best damn dress I own?
[Chorus]
If
you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're so
far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say.
Some might say we are made from
the sharpest things you say
We are young and we don't care.
Your dreams and your hopeless hair.
We never wanted
it to be this way.
For all our lives.
Do you care at all?
[Chorus]
If you were here I'd never have
a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me
how.
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say.
(Won't you tell me?)
(Well, there's no way I'm kissing
that guy)
"To The End"
He calls the mansion not
a house but a tomb.
He's always choking from the stench and the fume.
The wedding party all collapsed in the room.
So
send my resignation to the bride and the groom.
Let's go down!
This elevator only goes up to ten.
He's not around.
He's
always looking at men
Down by the pool.
He doesn't have many friends.
As they are
Face down and bloated snap a
shot with the lens.
If you marry me,
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?
(So say goodbye)
to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the heart you break
And all the
cyanide you drank.
She keeps a picture of the body she lends.
Got nasty blisters from the money she spends.
She's
got a life of her own and it shows by the Benz
She drives at 90 by the Barbies and Kens.
If you ever say never too late.
I'll forget all the diamonds you ate.
Lost in coma and covered in cake.
Increase the medication.
Share the vows
at the wake.
(Kiss the bride)
If you marry me,
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?
(So
say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the heart you break
And
all the cyanide you drank.
(And say goodbye) to the last parade
(And walk away) from the choice you made
(And
say goodnight) to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
(So say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And
say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
(And
say goodbye) to the last parade
(And walk away) from the choice you made
(And say goodnight) to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
To the last parade
When the parties fade
And the choice you made
To the
End.
"You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison"
In the middle of a gun
fight...
In the center of a restaurant...
They say, "Come with your arms raised high!"
Well, they're never gonna
get me,
And like a bullet through a flock of doves...
To wage this war against your faith in me,
Your life...will
never be the same.
On your mother's eyes, say a prayer...say a prayer!
[Chorus]
Now, but I can't
And
I don't know
How we're just two men as God had made us,
Well, I can't...well, I can!
Too much, too late, or just
not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,
I'll kiss your lips again.
They all cheat at cards
and the checkers are lost,
My cellmate's a killer, they made me do push-ups (in drag)
But nobody cares if you're losing
yourself...am I losing myself?!
Well, I miss my mom,
Will they give me the chair,
Or lethal injection, or swing
from a rope if you dare;
Ah, nobody knows...all the trouble I've seen!
[Chorus]
To your room...
What they ask of you
Will make you want to say, "So long..."
Well, I don't remember,
Why remember...YOU?!
Do you have the keys to the hotel?!
'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire! (FIRE!!)
Life is
but a dream for the dead,
And well I, I won't go down by myself,
But I'll go down with my friends.
Now now now
now...now now now...now now now!!
"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)"
Well if you
wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
For
all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second
floor?
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's
not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm
not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take
a good hard look!
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The
photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed
I'm okay
I'm
okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I
mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm
not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)
"The Ghost Of You"
I never said I'd lie in wait forever
If
I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try
At the end of the world
Or the last
thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never
ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever...
Ever...
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone
and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies
At the end of the world
Or the last
thing i see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? should I?
And all the things that you never
ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should
I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
If I fall
If
I fall (down)
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never
coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna
haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For
all the ghosts that are never gonna...
"The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You"
Gaze into
her killing jar I'd sometimes stare for hours (sometimes stare for hours).
She even poked the holes so I can breathe.
She
bought the last line.
I'm just the worst kind.
Of guy to argue.
With what you might find.
And for the last night
I lie.
Could I lie with you?
[Chorus:]
Alright
Give up
Get down. It's just the hardest part of living.
Alright
She
wants
It all to come down this time.
Lost in the prescription she's got something else in mind (something else in
mind).
Check into the Hotel Bella Muerte.
It gives the weak flight.
It gives the blind sight.
Until the cops come.
Or
by the last light.
And for the last night I lie.
Could I lie next to you?
[Chorus x2]
Pull the
plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
When holding on.
Well I hope you do the same.
Awww sugar.
Slip into
this tragedy you've spun this chamber dry.
[Chorus x2]
Pull the plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
And
holding on.
Well I hope you do the same.
Awww sugar.
"Interlude"
since we talked alone...
come

come angels of unknown...
"Thank You For The Venom"
Sister, I'm
not much a poet, but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it, or leave it, you can't understand
A pretty
face, but you do so carry on,
and on,
and on
I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way
that the doctor made me, on,
and on,
and on,
and on
Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door
What's
life like, bleeding on the floor,
the floor,
the floor
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
[Chorus]
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And
give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If
this is what you want
Then fire at will
Preach all you want but who's gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book
you gave me, hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpent son
It ain't the mark or the scar
that makes you one,
and one,
and one,
and one
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give
me a reason to believe
[Chorus]
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me
all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is
what you want
Then fire at will
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
You wanna follow something
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need
Give me a reason to believe
[Chorus x2]
So
give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're
running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
"Hang 'Em High"
Wait until it fades to
black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well, I've got something to say
Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle
the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades
Shotgun sinners
Wild eyed jokers
Got
you in my sights
Gun it while i'm holding on
After all is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm
asking you
'Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue
Call her black Mariah
Would I lie
to you?
That girl's not right in the brain
Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the grace of God
Gun it
while I'm holding on
But don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to
black
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So get your
gun and meet me by the door
[x3]
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't
stop me put it down
So baby...
Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me and
fade to black
[x2]
"It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish"
For
what you did to me,
and what I'll do to you,
you get, what everyone else gets,
you get a lifetime!
Let's go!
Do you remember that day when we met
you told me this gets harder
well it did!
been holding on forever,
promise
me that when I'm gone you'll kill my enemies,
the damage you've inflicted temporary wounds
I'm coming back from the
dead and I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole
We never got that far,
this helps me to
think all through the night
bright lights that, won't kill me now, or tell me how
just you and I, your starless eyes
remain.
Hip Hip Hooray for me, you talk to me, but would you kill me in my sleep
lay still like the dead
from
the razor to the rosary
we could lose ourselves
and paint these walls in pitchfork red
I will avenge my ghost
with every breath I take
I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole
This
hole that you put me in
wasn't deep enough
and I'm climbing out right now
you're running out of places to hide
from me
when you go
just know that I will remember you
if living was the hardest part
we'll then one day be together
and
in the end we'll fall apart
just as the leaves changing colors
and then I will be with you
I will be there one last
time now
when you go
just know that I will remember you
I lost my fear of falling
I will be with you
I
will be with you
"Cemetery Drive"
this night, walk the
dead
in a solitary style
and crash the cemetery gates.
in the dress your husband hates
way down, mark the grave
where
the search lights find us
drinking by the mausoleum door
and they found you on the bathroom floor
i miss you,
i miss you so far
and the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
back home, off the run
singing songs that
make you slit your wrists
it isn't that much fun, staring down a loaded gun
so i won't stop dying, won't stop lying
if
you want i'll keep on crying
did you get what you deserve?
is this what you always want me for?
i miss you, i
miss you so far
and the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
way down, way down
way down, way down
way
down, way down
way down, way down
i miss you, i miss you so far
and the collision of your kiss that made it
so hard
i miss you, i miss you so far
and the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
made it so hard
way
down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down
"I Never Told You What I Do For a Living"
Stay
out of the light
Or the photographs that I gave you
You can say a prayer if you need to
Or just get in line and I'll
grieve you
Can I meet you, alone
Another night and I'll see you
Another night and I'll be you
Some other way to
continue
To hide my face
[Chorus:]
Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean
me off
I'm so dirty babe
The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes
I keep a book of the names
and those
Only goes so far 'til you bury them
So deep and down we go
Touched by angels, though I fall out
of grace
I did it all so maybe I'd live this every day
[Chorus:]
Another knife in my hands
A stain
that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty babe
It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just
for the fame
It's for the bodies I claim and lose
Only goes so far 'til you bury them
So deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down
I tried
I tried
And
we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
We'll love again, we'll laugh again
And it's better off this way
And
never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now.
Well never
again,and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now.
Well I tried
One
more night
One more night
well I'm laughin', cryin', laughin'
I tried, well I tried, well I tried,
'Cause I
tried, but I lied
I lied
I tried
I tried
I tried
And we'll love again and we'll laugh again
We'll
cry again and we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
So much better off this way
I can't clean the blood
off the sheets in my bed
And never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And
we're all dead now
"Bury Me In Black" [Bonus Track Japanese version]
I
said, we'll drown ourselves in misery tonight
I lied, you've worn out all your dancing shoes this time
Just give
us war, worn lipstick by the door if I inflame
These eyes have had too much to drink again tonight
Black skies,
we'll douse ourselves in high explosive light
Just give us war, I've been calling you all week
for my shotgun
Pick
up the phone
Pick up the phone fucker
I wanna see what you're insides look like
I bet you're not fuckin pretty
on the inside
I wanna see what you're insides look like
I wanna see em
Well you don't say
And well I can explain
what happened to my face
late last night
I'm sleepin next to pools in vacant alleyways
And what I'm goin through,
shot lipgloss through my veins
And when I can't complain
With the falling rain
C'mon
I wanna save your
heart
I wanna see what your insides may be

"All I Want For Christmas Is You"
[Originally
by Mariah Carey]
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t
care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make
my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
I don’t want a lot for Christmas there is just one
thing I need
And I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I don’t need to hang my stocking
way above the fireplace
Santa Clause will make me happy with a toy on Christmas day
And I just want you for my own
More
than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Oh baby all I want for Christmas is you, you baby
I wont ask
for much this Christmas
I wont even wish oh I wont even wish. I wont even wish for snow.
I’m just gonna keep on
waiting underneath the mistletoe
I wont make a list and send it to the North Pole for St Nick
Wont even stay awake to
hear the magic reindeer play
Cause I just want you here tonight,
Holdin on to me so tight
What more can I do
Oh
baby all I want for Christmas is you, oh baby
Oh our lives are shinin surrounding everywhere
Where the sounds of children’s
laughter fills the air
And everyone is singin' oh I hear those sleigh bells ringin'
Santa wont you bring me the one
I really need
Wont you bring back my baby to me
Oh I don’t want a lot for Christmas
This is all I’m
askin for
I just want to see my baby standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own
More than you could
ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, you, its you, you, oh baby
All I want is you [x4]
You,
you, you, you, you
"Jack The Ripper"
[Originally by Morrissey]
Oh,
you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Your face is as mean
As your life has been
Crash into my arms
I WANT YOU
You don't agree -
But you don't refuse
I know you
And I know
a place
Where no one is likely to pass
Oh, you don't care if it's late
And you don't care if you're lost
And
oh, you look so tired
(But tonight you presume too much)
Too much, too much
And if it's the last
Thing I ever
do
I'M GONNA GET YOU
Crash into my arms
I WANT YOU
You don't agree -
But you don't refuse
I
know you
Crash into my arms
I WANT YOU
You don't agree -
But you don't refuse
I know you
Oh
...
"Under Pressure"
(feat. The Used)
[Originally by David Bowie/Queen]
Pressure!
Pushing
down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts
people on streets
Bah bah dah bah bah dah
(Yeah) (Yeah)
That's okay!
It's the terror of knowing
What
this world is about
Watching some good friends
Scream "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on
people
People on streets
Bah bah dah bah bah dah
Okay!
Chippin' around
Kick my brains round the floor
These
are the days
It never rains but it pours
Bah bah dah bah bah dah
People on streets
bah dah dee da day
People
on streets
bah dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching
some good friends
Scream "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow takes me higher (higher)
Yeah!
Turned away from it
all
Like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why?
Why? Why?
Love(love)! Love(love)! Love(love)!
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves
one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love
give love give love give love give love?
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For
the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our ways
Of caring about ourselves
This is our
last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure
Under pressure
