My Love For Lois Is Real
03:40
|
|||
Morning, time to rise and shine
Well, I watch my baby start her day
Showered, dressed by nine
Ready now, she closed her blinds
That's OK, I'll catch up on her way to work
Twenty feet behind
Oh, whoa yeah
My friends all think I'm crazy
Oh, they have no idea
I'm no psycho in lipstick and heels
I know my love for Lois is real
Won't read 'bout me next to Manson, Gacy
When you see my love is real
I know when she comes and when she goes
I bugged all her telephones and tape record her calls
Sometimes when she's changing her clothes
I watch through my telescope, a grin beneath my nose
Oh, whoa yeah
My shrink says I'm obsessive
Oh, he don't have a clue
I'm no psycho in lipstick and heels
Can't you see my love for Lois is real
Won't read 'bout me next to Dahmer, Bundy
When you see my love is real
Oh, whoa yeah
My friends all think I'm crazy
Oh, they have no idea
I'm no psycho in lipstick and heels
I know my love for Lois is real
Won't read 'bout me next to Manson, Gacy
When you see my love is real
I'm no psycho in lipstick and heels
Can't you see my love for Lois is real
She'll be with me or with no one at all
When she sees my love is real

Careful, watch just what you say
‘Cause somebody might repeat it
Did you wash your hands today?
Better hide that dirt before they find it
“We’ll break through, somehow, some way
We don’t tend to ask permission
We’ll erase or blur the lines
What else are they there for?”
Oh – you frighten me
“How can you question my thinking
when you know the source?”
“Hear, nor see nor evil speak
But if you do, pay up, we’ll fix it
Yes, we know what’s best for you
So shut up, sit back and take it!”
And I don’t know what I did
To deserve a close encounter with a zealot
Of the absurd kind
Hello, if you’re up there
Maybe you can take a little credit
For the ones who act in your name
Oh – you frighten me
Compromise isn’t a word that will enter your mind
Oh – enlighten me
Freedom of goes hand in hand with the freedom without
They won’t stop until…
There is no more evil in this world

Strange Ways
03:55
|

How strange, your ways
How strange, your walk
How strange, these days
How strange, this talk
What is that disease I see inside of you
Makes you scream and holler like you do
Everywhere I see desire
A shopping list of fear picked out for you
How strange, your mind
How strange, I find inside
How strange, denial
How strange, oh how strange
Drown me out my mind's on fire
Strike me down it's for the public good
Looks just like a cancer
Like the kind that killed my kin
It'll eat you up from the inside, out
You'll never see me again
Looks just like a cancer
Like the kind that killed my kin
It'll eat you up from the inside, out
It eats you up, it eats you up, it eats you

Firefly

A perfect picture
I liked your face the best
And into your bed I fell to rest
I didn’t see your eyes so cold
Eyes that were so cold
Even now I face you through the wall
Tight the lid of the killing jar
Warped the light and blurred the scars
Still, I think you’re smiling
Oh, like a firefly
Shine my love to you
Oh, to a firefly
Even you’re a god
Crystal clear
The words you said to me
Now there’s no more air to breathe
“You once meant more to me,
now I couldn’t care less.”
Couldn’t care less…
You can be loved
You can be one with me
You can be loved
I will be your firefly

Throw Me A Bone
05:48
|
|||
One lump or two is the question
You know me - I always want more
So how come I’m still dumbfounded to find
Yet another closed door
(Day by day…)
My patience slips away
Go ahead and do what they tell you, it’s clear
That’s what you want to do
“Read your cue cards like a good little boy,
We’ll make you next year’s toy, you follow?”
Oh, I work so hard
Somebody throw me a bone
What do I have to do
Who do I have to screw
Somebody tell me
Dredge it all up again
Remind me of the taste of your silver spoon
Enjoy your stay in your new tax bracket
I hope you can hide who you are
I work so hard

Truth
06:12
|

Did I paint you into a corner
Did I leave you no choice
Did I turn my deaf ear toward you
While you screamed away your voice
I thought by now it'd be really obvious
Where my head is at
I kept hoping you'd never want the truth
There could be nothing worse for you than that
Did I paint you into a corner
Did I leave you for dead
Are you sure this is all really happening
Or is it all in your head
You remind me of a girl in a silent movie
Tied to the railroad tracks
Smiling bravely in the face of danger
Who will save you now? Who will save you?
Whoa, the sky is falling
Your destiny's calling you
Whoa, your world is crumbling
If you needed more proof,
There's nothing worse than the truth
You live your life like you're living a movie
Now, you're down to your last reel
Smiling bravely in the face of danger
Who will save you now? Who will save you?

You Fell
06:33
|

It was a half-pint demigod
That killed the golden goose
He had it all figured out -
Just say today’s secret word
Double-crossed
He looks doubly ready for saving
Anyway, at least he’s got himself a good head start
“Hand me that hairbrush, why don’t you?
I gotta make it just so…
Just so long as you’re waiting
Would you mind bowing down?”
And you were saying?
(What were you saying anyway?)
(Uh oh, you fell…)
As you were trying to explain it
(Uh oh, you fell…)
And you almost started making sense
(Uh oh, you fell…)
Now your face is turning blue, don’t hold your breath, ‘cause… I’ll wait for you, and smile
I’ll wait for you
She was smiling faintly –
and I started to say
“Has anyone built you a temple –
and may I be the first today?”
She laughed and said, “You rebel scum!
Now you’ll never get ahead –
This is one setback that you won’t soon forget!”
“Not exactly a dangerous game,” I said to Joan
(if that was her real name)
“You must be this tall to ride, it's not your turn to play, come back later when you've cleared your mind!”
Just ‘cause you got a bone to pick
Still talk to Joan, man (Go talk to Joan…)
Your problem’s solved, you threw a brick
You’re not alone, man
She doesn’t mind if you forget
Just talk to Joan, man (so much to say…)
She wants to talk to you (so much to say…)
So much to say… hello, Joan!

What Have We Here?
06:43
|

You lie to me but the truth is in your eyes
I am not fooled, but my head is in the skies
Take, take from me for your freedom within
Time, time will show in the end you’ll be without
That was only after yesterday
When I lost my mind
It was only after yesterday (Yesterday…)
When I knew I’d never find you
Free, you want to be, but your prison is your life
Gone, fade away, never will regain your sight
What have we here?
