You Think I Aint Worth A Dollar But I Feel Like A Millionaire
Dead bull with the life from the low
I'll be massive conquistador
Give me soul and show me the door
Metal heavy, soft at the core
Gimme toro, gimme some more
Pressurize, neutralize
Deep fried, gimme some more
Space flunky, four on the floor
Fortified with the liqour store
This one's down, gimme some more
Gimme toro, gimme some more
Shrunken head I love to adore
B-movie, gimme some gore
Gimme toro, gimme some more
B-movie, gimme some gore
Gimme toro, gimme some more
I'll be massive conquistador
Give me soul and show me the door
Metal heavy, soft at the core
Gimme toro, gimme some more
Pressurize, neutralize
Deep fried, gimme some more
Space flunky, four on the floor
Fortified with the liqour store
This one's down, gimme some more
Gimme toro, gimme some more
Shrunken head I love to adore
B-movie, gimme some gore
Gimme toro, gimme some more
B-movie, gimme some gore
Gimme toro, gimme some more

No One Knows
We get some rules to follow
That and this
These and those
No one knows
We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your THROAT
Taste like gold
Oh, what you do to me
No one knows
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
Ahh
I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I follow
I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats
in the sun
THEY come undone
Pleasently caving in
I come undone
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
Ahhh
Heaven smiles above me
What a gift HERE below
But no one knows
THE Gift that you give to me
No one knows
That and this
These and those
No one knows
We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your THROAT
Taste like gold
Oh, what you do to me
No one knows
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
Ahh
I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I follow
I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats
in the sun
THEY come undone
Pleasently caving in
I come undone
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
Ahhh
Heaven smiles above me
What a gift HERE below
But no one knows
THE Gift that you give to me
No one knows

First It Giveth
I'm in you
You're in me
I can't tell
You're so cruel
More than me
It is true
That's right
Loyal to
Only you
Up your sleeve
I want some (come on, take it)
of all of you (it's yours)
Trickin me
First it giveth
Then it taketh away
I would beg
I would plead
I would shake
On a hook
Dangling
By the way
I'm so young
And beautiful
(That's right)
(I'm slick)
I'm no fool
Time goes by
Tables turn
Now I know
First it giveth
Then it taketh away
You're in me
I can't tell
You're so cruel
More than me
It is true
That's right
Loyal to
Only you
Up your sleeve
I want some (come on, take it)
of all of you (it's yours)
Trickin me
First it giveth
Then it taketh away
I would beg
I would plead
I would shake
On a hook
Dangling
By the way
I'm so young
And beautiful
(That's right)
(I'm slick)
I'm no fool
Time goes by
Tables turn
Now I know
First it giveth
Then it taketh away

A Song For The Dead
It's late enough to go drivin
And see what's mine
That's a study of dying
How to do it right
You're a holy roller
Get your bed in the loose
If you're hanging around
I'm holdin the noose
Come a little bit closer
And get on tight
In a hearse rollin over
Just a track in the line
F*ck it
Come on, let's go drivin
Come on, let's take a little ride
That's the study of dying
How to do it right
And see what's mine
That's a study of dying
How to do it right
You're a holy roller
Get your bed in the loose
If you're hanging around
I'm holdin the noose
Come a little bit closer
And get on tight
In a hearse rollin over
Just a track in the line
F*ck it
Come on, let's go drivin
Come on, let's take a little ride
That's the study of dying
How to do it right

The Sky Is Fallin
The sky is falling
Human race that we are
Has left me crawling
Staring straight at the sun
All in a moment I notice
Every dog has his day
I paid attention
Cost me so much to hate
For so long
I saw only wrong
But now to remind
It's a waste of time
Close your eyes and see the skies are falling
I wanted something
Nothing blank I don't know
It's hard deflecting
Stones are easy to throw
All in a moment I noticed
Hours, days left behind
Of wasted, useless
Selfless, none of a kind
For so long
I saw only wrong
But now to remind
Not to go back to the low
That has drained my life so long
That has drained my life so long
That has drained my life so long
Close your eyes and see the skies are falling
Human race that we are
Has left me crawling
Staring straight at the sun
All in a moment I notice
Every dog has his day
I paid attention
Cost me so much to hate
For so long
I saw only wrong
But now to remind
It's a waste of time
Close your eyes and see the skies are falling
I wanted something
Nothing blank I don't know
It's hard deflecting
Stones are easy to throw
All in a moment I noticed
Hours, days left behind
Of wasted, useless
Selfless, none of a kind
For so long
I saw only wrong
But now to remind
Not to go back to the low
That has drained my life so long
That has drained my life so long
That has drained my life so long
Close your eyes and see the skies are falling

Hangin Tree
Would you like our way home
I bleed my own
Round the hangin tree
Swayin in the breeze
In the summer sun
As we two are one
Swayin
Can you see under my thumb
There you are
Round the hangin tree
Swing in the breeze
In the summer sun
As we two are one
Swing
I bleed my own
Round the hangin tree
Swayin in the breeze
In the summer sun
As we two are one
Swayin
Can you see under my thumb
There you are
Round the hangin tree
Swing in the breeze
In the summer sun
As we two are one
Swing

Go With The Flow
She said "i'll throw myself away,
They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around.
I can't wash you off my skin.
Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway
I can go with the flow
I would say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head?
It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
Something sweet to throw away.
I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.
Do you believe it in your head?
I can go with the flow
I would say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head? X3
They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around.
I can't wash you off my skin.
Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway
I can go with the flow
I would say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head?
It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
Something sweet to throw away.
I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.
Do you believe it in your head?
I can go with the flow
I would say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head? X3

Gonna Leave You
Wait by the phone
Late alone
He can't help you
But I know I could
Free is too long
You know this is wrong
Everything scars the skin
Push it in, break it off
I'm gonna leave
I'm gonna leave you
I gave it starts
I stomped on your hearts
This the is the end,
No more pictures, we ain't friends
It's raining in my room
There's blood in my spoon
You're out of my highchair
I'm out of your womb
I'm gonna leave
I'm gonna leave you
Free is too long
You know this is wrong
Everything scars the skin
Push it in, push it in, break it off
I'm gonna leave
Gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave
I don't need you
Late alone
He can't help you
But I know I could
Free is too long
You know this is wrong
Everything scars the skin
Push it in, break it off
I'm gonna leave
I'm gonna leave you
I gave it starts
I stomped on your hearts
This the is the end,
No more pictures, we ain't friends
It's raining in my room
There's blood in my spoon
You're out of my highchair
I'm out of your womb
I'm gonna leave
I'm gonna leave you
Free is too long
You know this is wrong
Everything scars the skin
Push it in, push it in, break it off
I'm gonna leave
Gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave
I don't need you

Do It Again
I fall over, and over and over, over oh I want you
I get in, I get in, I get in you're the only one I'm into
You and me fit so tight
I go lower and lower and lower, lower living easy
I don't know how long I got till it's over
You and me fit so tight
Can you do it again?
do it again
do it again
can you do it again?
All the way, all the way, all the way
there's no where left we can be
I'm into what you do but I leave you nowhere
You and me fit so tight
All we need is one more time
Can you do it again?
do it again
do it again
can you do it again?
do it again
do it again
can you do it again?
Only get to live one life
Won't pretend you're only mine
Where will you go when
We all fall away?
So do it again
do it again(x5)
I get in, I get in, I get in you're the only one I'm into
You and me fit so tight
I go lower and lower and lower, lower living easy
I don't know how long I got till it's over
You and me fit so tight
Can you do it again?
do it again
do it again
can you do it again?
All the way, all the way, all the way
there's no where left we can be
I'm into what you do but I leave you nowhere
You and me fit so tight
All we need is one more time
Can you do it again?
do it again
do it again
can you do it again?
do it again
do it again
can you do it again?
Only get to live one life
Won't pretend you're only mine
Where will you go when
We all fall away?
So do it again
do it again(x5)

God Is In The Radio
I thought I saw him on the video
A trance is keeping him under
I know that god is in the radio
Checkin the station
I'm glad I caught it from me to you
Just a call in the medium
I know *YOU* hear it, I hear it too
still, just thought i'd let you know.
It's everywhere that I go
You come back another day
And do no wrong
The say the devil is paranoid
Always signin the cover
But god is leakin through the stereo
Between the station to station
You believe it, I know you do
You won't admit it or say so
I know that god is in the radio
Just repeating a slogan
You come back another day
And do no wrong
A trance is keeping him under
I know that god is in the radio
Checkin the station
I'm glad I caught it from me to you
Just a call in the medium
I know *YOU* hear it, I hear it too
still, just thought i'd let you know.
It's everywhere that I go
You come back another day
And do no wrong
The say the devil is paranoid
Always signin the cover
But god is leakin through the stereo
Between the station to station
You believe it, I know you do
You won't admit it or say so
I know that god is in the radio
Just repeating a slogan
You come back another day
And do no wrong

Another Love Song
You're so impossible
Scream and moan it chills my soul
Don't wanna hear you got left behind
All those times you stayed up and cried
It's no lie
You did it to yourself
Like chewed up gum under my shelf
Don't look surprised
You must have know all along
It's just another love song
Another love song
It's never easy
It's not hard
When you've lost your mind
With you it's sleezy
Don't tell me your worries
I'm sick, I'll leave you blind
Now the time has come
To leave this love that's left you dry
No need to work this out now
Cause you know there's no reason why
It's just another love song
Another love song
I never told you it would last forever
You can't hold this boy for long, dig it
By the time you read my letter
Baby, I'll be gone
You're just another love song
Another love song
Scream and moan it chills my soul
Don't wanna hear you got left behind
All those times you stayed up and cried
It's no lie
You did it to yourself
Like chewed up gum under my shelf
Don't look surprised
You must have know all along
It's just another love song
Another love song
It's never easy
It's not hard
When you've lost your mind
With you it's sleezy
Don't tell me your worries
I'm sick, I'll leave you blind
Now the time has come
To leave this love that's left you dry
No need to work this out now
Cause you know there's no reason why
It's just another love song
Another love song
I never told you it would last forever
You can't hold this boy for long, dig it
By the time you read my letter
Baby, I'll be gone
You're just another love song
Another love song

A Song For The Deaf
Nobody's coming down the hall
Nobody echoes in my head
Broken reflection had a look
Nobody ever needed her
I got what was
I want to take what's left
For the deaf
Beautiful senses are gone
Canary in a gilded cage
Singin
Sweet, soft, and low
I will poison you all
Come closer, racing to your turn
I got what was
I want to take what's left
No talk will cure
What's lost, or save what's left
For the deaf
The blind can go get f*cked
Right beside the ditch
This halo 'round my neck
Strung out every stitch
Who are you hiding
Is it safe for the deaf
Beautiful cancer
Infiltrate and forget
And I saw you coming
And I heard not a thing
A mistake not to listen
When I knew where you'd been
And I got what was
I want to take what's left
No talk will cure
What's lost, or save what's left
For the deaf
Nobody echoes in my head
Broken reflection had a look
Nobody ever needed her
I got what was
I want to take what's left
For the deaf
Beautiful senses are gone
Canary in a gilded cage
Singin
Sweet, soft, and low
I will poison you all
Come closer, racing to your turn
I got what was
I want to take what's left
No talk will cure
What's lost, or save what's left
For the deaf
The blind can go get f*cked
Right beside the ditch
This halo 'round my neck
Strung out every stitch
Who are you hiding
Is it safe for the deaf
Beautiful cancer
Infiltrate and forget
And I saw you coming
And I heard not a thing
A mistake not to listen
When I knew where you'd been
And I got what was
I want to take what's left
No talk will cure
What's lost, or save what's left
For the deaf

Mosquito Song
I know, I know the sun is hot
Mosquitos come suck your blood
Leave you there all alone
Just skin and bone
When you walk among the trees
Listening to the leaves
The further I go the less I know
The less I know
Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
Lullabies
To paralyze
Fat and soft, pink and weak
Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
You know I'm told they swallow you whole
Skin and bone
Cutting boards and hanging hooks
Bloody knives, cooking books
Promising you won't feel a thing
At all
Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food that hasn't died
And the light says
Somehow they pick and pluck
Tenderize bone to dust
The sweetest grease, finest meat you'll ever taste
Taste, taste
So you scream, whine, and yell
Supple sounds of dinner bells
We all will feed the worms and trees So don't be shy
Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food that hasn't died
Mosquitos come suck your blood
Leave you there all alone
Just skin and bone
When you walk among the trees
Listening to the leaves
The further I go the less I know
The less I know
Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
Lullabies
To paralyze
Fat and soft, pink and weak
Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
You know I'm told they swallow you whole
Skin and bone
Cutting boards and hanging hooks
Bloody knives, cooking books
Promising you won't feel a thing
At all
Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food that hasn't died
And the light says
Somehow they pick and pluck
Tenderize bone to dust
The sweetest grease, finest meat you'll ever taste
Taste, taste
So you scream, whine, and yell
Supple sounds of dinner bells
We all will feed the worms and trees So don't be shy
Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food that hasn't died
