Lyrics to Asteroid G :
Just what i needed
some time to myself
when i am bothered by nodody else
sometimes i ponder
over what might go wrong
i don't want to wander
from where i know belong
catch that comet and speed off
catch that comet and speed off
leave the earth now and fly free
come to asteroid g
lets go to astreoid g
so i end up even worse than before
having to scrape
my broken heart off the floor
we'll all still sit here by the curb
and if i keep quiet
she won't be disturbed
i'm going back
to where i was once
catching that comet
be back in a month
i'm going back
to where i was once
catching that comet
so i can be free
maybe i've found my place on this rock
i'll stay
so maybe i've found my place on this rock
i'll stay

Lyrics to All Over Again :
Your crash is waiting to happen
And you you're dragging me down

All over again
I give in I give up

You splashed but you started sinking
And you you're dragging me down

All over again
I give up
I give in
I give up

You are crowding me in I want to get out
This is the end all over again
You're crowding me in I just want to get out
This is the end all over again

yrics to Wishing Well :
It cursed us all on our way home
We passed the sights like passing stones
And I will never go back there again
The tourists and the army men
The prostitutes this evening
Will start to sink under my skin
The dust and sand is what they sell
The flashing lights and ringing bells
A wish as far as I can tell
Inside this dried up wishing well
He is the shrieks I am the fear
That yelling man rings in my ears
Out of his mind he's my conscience
Hour after hour pill after pill
He is my bellyache I've taken so much medicine to kill
I know there's something wrong
'Cause this night just drags on and on
The clock still says it won't be long
'Til all your hard earned money's gone
The dust and sand is what they sell
The flashing lights and ringing bells
A wish as far as I can tell
Inside this dried up wishing well
And I will never go back there again
The tourists and the army men
The prostitutes this evening
Will start to sink under my skin
The dust and sand is what they sell
The flashing lights and ringing bells
A wish as far as I can tell
Inside this dried up wishing well

Lyrics to Something Is Wrong :
Burn me down if that's how everything's gonna start
With a flame from the heat off the look on your face
On a day like today
I could have made out every raindrop falling down
On your head
Now I fear that I may taste
These tears rolling down my face
And realize something is wrong
With the light of the sun
In the color of the sky
With you and everyone

Lyrics to California (Demo) :
We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing's gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Thinkin' of the roar
Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

Lyrics to Always On My Mind (London Vers.) :
Everybody in this place can up and move away
For all I care this town's already dead and empty
I'm told that I'm a victim of obsession
That's what my friends say
Oh I'm a fool for having ever let her tempt me

Well I turn pale when she walks by
I am lost in her eyes
She is always on my mind
She is always on my mind

She glances over but she keeps on walking down that street
All I can do is hope that she is thinking of me
If I could blink if I could breathe If I could get my legs to move
Well this could be the day I get this girl to love me

Well I turn pale when she walks by
I am lost in her eyes
She is always on my mind
She is always on my mind
She had turned from a sound,
Well I must have cried out loud
She is always on my mind
She is always on my mind
she is always on my mind
She is always on my mind

Lyrics to This Is What You Get (Demo) :
This time I get so down
My own two feet wont stand on common ground
I see it caving in from all around
I may not look the same
I'll smile and chat and answer to my name

but if i'm dead and dont deserve you then
oh cause thats what you get thats what you get thats all
oh thats what you get thats what you get thats all
oh thats what you get thats what you get thats all
oh thats what you get thats what you get thats all

Lyrics to The Happy Ending :
There's nothing for me here
I'm starting to get old
Time just ticks on
We've all been taking some comfort in repetition
And I'm left with no way to scratch
What has been itching and I'm
I'm ready and waiting
For the happy ending
Now the days go by
They pass right through us
Our night lives make us so useless
Now don't take anything to heart
We don't care
We don't want to start
Well, I'm leaving for a while
I'll head in some direction
I just don't know which one I should be taking
And I'm ready and waiting
For the happy ending
I'm begging and pleading
For another beating
I'm ready and waiting
For the happy ending

Lyrics to Badd Business :
So you've been trying to get ahead
But coming out empty handed
Losing all the friends you made instead

You pushed your way up to the top
You got so tall you had to stop
Did you squint to see who you were stepping on?

It's your secret to success
That's causing such a mess
And to be honest
Forgetting all of us

Now that is just bad business

You think you're worth your weight in gold
While everybody's looking like the color of money
We knew you when and we don't really think it's funny
Ok
I'm just hoping for that day when
Your business life comes to an end
Deal with us just like people again

But you're just scheming on success
And only coming up with meager messiness
You can sell, sell, sell
And never do well
When dealing in bad business

If you're planning to invest
Well, any day now we'll be coming to collect

You can sell, sell, sell
And never do well
When dealing in bad business
It's a disease the way that greed and excess spreads

You never know, I could be next

Lyrics to Big Brat :
It was all his fault,
Introduced me to knowitall
And the cannibal
Oh, well...
By the time they started showing up,
I ran the risk of blowing up
These times, these times get tough
So if i stay we're going to see who's had enough
By the time i needed backing up,
Ya he was watching, cracking up
This time, this time it's tough
Well here I am and now and I think I've had enough
Stand back
Take that and that and that

You're always up to no good
Ya you're always up to no good

Well I was trapped in from all sides
Caught in a slew of massive lies
No, there is no escape, only flailing arms and bellyaches
When it all started coming down, tonight, or did you run and hide?
Well I guess that we all make mistakes, I guess I forgave you didn't I?
Stand back
You're such a big brat

Ya you're always up to no good
Ya you're always up to no good

Lyrics to 1st Things 1st :
You should get your story straight before I start to doubt it
Cuz if you've worn your lipstick off, I want to hear about it

And telling me would be such a breeze, tell me if you want to leave

I think I'm getting the drift
You want some time with your friends
On the nights and weekends
You take the time for yourself
Both of us used to spend

Before you make it better
Before you make it worse
First things first

I don't think it's an accident you treat me like a dummy
Hold on, Hold on
I've been asking for the truth at least just tell me something
Hold on, Hold on

And telling me would be such a breeze
Let me know, don't let me be

It's almost too easy
I'm holding you by the hand
More like the nape of your neck
Why don't you draw up a list you have to frequently check?
And put some things in order
And lose it in your purse
First things First

Lyrics to Making A Killing :
Cut your losses
Cut your ties
Start a new life

These things they can tie you up, weigh you down
Wear you in then wear you out

One day you could find yourself suddenly
Underneath a guillotine

You'll have to answer up for
What you want and what that means[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

That's the difference between
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even

Making a living and
Making a killing

Why don't you buy yourself a gift for the work you've been putting in

Maybe a little something you could toss in that pit
Of emptiness you're pregnant with
Or maybe you could go and lose yourself altogether
Nothing's getting any better
Oh, no!

Is that what you really want when all is said and done with me?
That's the difference between
Breaking the bank and
Just breaking even
Making a living and
Making a killing

Like bills in a short stack
And bills to the ceiling
Making a living and
Making a killing

Well I found myself suddenly
Underneath the guillotine

For heaven's sake, I'm here, I'm willing
Let's make everyone a killing!

Lyrics to You're Not Welcome Here :
Upon the hour of your arrival
I will draw the line
You take your side of the city
Don't set foot on mine

You told me when we met
I told you when we left
That we're through
We're through
So I thought
You knew
You disappeared
Now you're not welcome here

Across the park we used to walk through
Keep that for yourself
Well the next that heard
You wouldn't have me
That's for someone else
That is mine to keep
That is mine to keep
I know at least
I shared my keys
Made it clear
That you're not wlecome here

I told you when we met
You told me when you left
I know at least
I shared my keys
Made it clear
That you're not welcome here
You're not wlecome here
You're not wlecome here
You're not welcome here

Lyrics to By The Bed :
Her eyes were closed when I caught her in bed
Oh, she seemed much happier then
I sat by her side and I couldn't help but cry
I was here for a reason and I
Finally understood and my oh my
Could only ask myself why oh why
Can't we talk this through and make things right?
Oh, I'd sure as hell like to try
Right about this time she opened her eyes
And asked how long I had been there
Well, my tongue was tied
I said nothing, I just stared
She said, "Oh, I didn't think you cared..."
Well, I wasn't ready for what she said next
She said, "There is nothing else that you can do
No, you can't understand what I'm going through
And if the world has changed, well, I'll be damned
Oh, 'cause I'm no good at being brave
Not even on the better days
And there are things we cannot save
No matter how hard we try
There is nothing else that you can do
No, you can't understand what I'm going through
And if the world has changed, well, you'll do fine..."
Oh, I tried, but no, I could not stand
I touched her with a trembling hand
I choked
I could not say goodbye
No matter how hard I tried

Lyrics to Knowitall :
I came home as someone else
Must have wished it on myself
When I got
Lost in thought while
We were out

Hours have passed and I have seen
The terror I am stuck between
Who I've been
And who I'm thinking
I could be

I was listening to a battle begin
Wondering which side would win

Did you say
Something? I'm
Sorry I
Apologize

I can tell
After this there's nothing else
Nothing you can't solve
If you're such a knowitall

Maybe I'm not good enough
Or you don't resemble what I've built up
After months
See it looming
Over us

Tell me I made some mistake
Entertaining a second date
I'm a mess
So nervous and it's
Getting late

What should I do?
I'll tell you.
Pretty soon I'll shatter in two.

Just because
You place something high enough
The harder it can fall
But you knew that.
You're a knowitall

Lyrics to Jabberjaw :
Isn't there enough to talk about?
I don't want what else is running out your mouth
Chewing my ears from my head
Will not keep me interested

I wanna put you on someone else
I wanna leave you all by yourself

If I look like I'm involved
Well, I ain't listening at all

You never listen to a single thing I say
How in the hell did I get into this mess anyway?
Oh yeah, I was

Shot in the hall with a glance
If looks could kill I would've never had a chance
And you could bury me where I lie
I'm so unhappy that I could die

Other people, they're not looking
Anywhere in your direction
Got this creeping party doubt
There's no chance I'm ever getting out

You're having fun at my expense
Oh yeah, you're raking up
Sometimes I think that you
Wanna end up with no one to talk to!

Other people, they're not looking
Anywhere in your direction
Got this creeping party doubt
There's no chance I'm ever getting out

They're acting like somebody near
Just passed away in here

So if I go
No
When I do
You'll end up with no one to talk to!

Ha!!
Ha!!
Ha!!

Lyrics to After Hours :
Watching everybody leaving,
I tell myself, "Looks can be deceiving."
Oh, I'm hoping that I'm not dead right
This after hours, afterlife
I'm not ready to die in style tonight.

Tried to follow you out,
But I did not know where you'd be leading on,
And you might think people don't live through being dead wrong.
Well I guess that your parents must have raised a themselves a strictly pious daughter,
'Cause you move through this crowd
Just like parting water.

Oh you dress so nice
You dress to kill
They drop like flies
But who's the funeral for?

Afterwhile these hot, hot nights can turn everything sour
Oh, I know it's not hard to get in trouble after hours.

Lyrics to The Meantime :
Hold on
Hold out
Your day's full
Ok, that's fine
I don't mind
The meantime

You've got your things to do
Places you
Have to go
So and so
I don't mind the meantime

If I could count
From then til now
I'd count too high
I can't help but think about the meantime

Saving time
Spending it poorly
I've been pretty foolish in
The meantime

If what comes next is
So damn precious
Why should I mind
What you're doing meanwhile?

Lately I've been
Lost in thought
Around the clock
Hands are flying and
I can tell you're running out of meantime

Now I know it's over too quick
Got my finger on
Where it's all gone
Don't look back 'cause I won't be there
I don't have anymore to spare
It's all mine!

Meantime

Lyrics to Raise The Dead :
Go on and pull yourself up
We climb, we climb, we climb, we climb
Down there they get you, down there
Again and again, forever and ever
Go on and give it a tug
Go on, pull up, I know it's tough
But down there it's deeper than deep
That hole is so steep
And things are heavier

Hear it now, the night is calling us
Wave your hands and summon the spirits up
Tonight, tonight, tonight
we raise the dead!

The dark is plaguing our hearts
Pumping through us and collecting in our deepest parts
Well down there it's dripping like tar
And it's stuck to your arms
And it's sticking to you too long
The time is higher than high
Something lurking in your shadow that keeps trying to hide
Oh no, want it alive
To get out, to get out, to get out of your insides

Hear it now the night is calling us
Wave your hands and summon the spirits up
Tonight, tonight, tonight
we RAISE THE DEAD!

Go on and pull yourself up, up, up
Go on, pull up, I know it's tough
But down there they get you, down there
Again and again
Forver and ever
Hear it now, the night is calling us
Wave your hands and summon the spirits up
Tonight, tonight, tonight
we raise the dead!

Lyrics to Dropped :
I can swear I can feel the beating of a cold cold heart
Or there's a chill, 'cause it's showing through your clothing
And as far as I can tell
There's nothing underneath your v-neck tee
I'm begging, I'm begging, I'm begging you please
Now

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know

Won't you stop teasing me
Won't you take It easy
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know
You're never gonna go

Drop
Whatcha
Got
Now
Drop
Whatcha
Got
Now

Everybody knows the way the eye goes
Moving like a curtain closes over the finale
From your head down to your toe
Up and down checking you out now
Beyond a doubt

Make a copy in the office for the dest with the windows
In the ivory dome
You've made it your home
See you in the sills
Smiling ear to ear
Never gonna go

Do you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know

Won't you stop teasing me
Won't you take it easy
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know
You're never gonna go

Drop
Whatcha
Got
Now
Drop
Whatcha
Got
Now

Drop
Whatcha
Got
Now

Tell me that you what me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know

Won't you stop teasing me
Won't you take it easy
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know
You're never gonna go

Drop
Whatcha
Got
Now
Drop
Whatcha
Got
Now

Drop
Whatcha
Got
Now

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know
Now

Lyrics to Leader :
There are so many signs the end is nigh
Our Leader told us so beside
We follow him blind, to and fro
Wherever he decides to go

He speaks, we listen
We'll see is vision

He explained so easily
We're all the missing pieces
Maybe you'll fit right in too
Ask yourself, it might be true

Join our hands and come along
The day's about to dawn
I feel it coming
On and on the hour's upon you
Now it won't be long
I feel it coming

Now we'll put you in our uniform
Everyone will be reborn
Wear us over where your heart is
Your new life with us has started

You'll speak
He'll listen
We'll see
His vision

Join our hands and come along
The day's about to dawn
I feel it coming
On and on the hour's upon you
Now it won't be long
I feel it coming
?????????????????????????
We're on a ticking bomb
I feel it coming
On and on the hour's upon you
Now it won't be long
I feel it coming

Feel it coming...
Feel it coming...
Feel it coming...
Feel it coming...
Feel it coming

Join our hands and come along
The day's about to dawn
I feel it coming
On and on the hour's upon you
Now it won't be long
I feel it coming
?????????????????????????
We're on a ticking bomb
I feel it coming
On and on the hour's upon you
Now it won't be long
I feel it coming

Lyrics to Do The Panic :
I guess we’re all in trouble, huh?
Black clouds are upon us
And it’s doomsday on the other side of town.
That boy survived a severed head
When most would just give up for dead,
So I said: "Al B. don’t get so upset."
We all get scared of sticking out our necks
It’s expected!
So panic.

It’s time to lose control!
Turn off your radio!
You’re gonna feel alright!
Let’s do the panic tonight!

This place is turning upside down,
And shaking all of our change out,
And Charlotte’s tossing her hair to the hounds -
But it’s her head they want on the wall
Right next to the screeching owl,
And I don’t like this party
Or the sound
Of people walking across you when you’re down.
And that’s it!
So panic.

It’s time to lose control!
Turn up your radio!
Yeah you can bring your friends!
So we all do the panic again

Lyrics to Quarantine :
Behind the glass
I watched the world
From cracks the blinds make when they're drawn
I watched the world for years this way
And that catches us up to this moment today

Quarantine
The rock and the hard place I'm between
Quarantine, quarantine, quarantine

And it was you I did this for
I put the deadbolt on the door
Understand I can't see you now
Realize it's not to keep me in, but to keep all the sickies out

Quarantine
Such an ugly word for what I mean
Quarantine, quarantine, quarantine

I heard you let some little flea
Give you that contagious disease
You let him climb right on you two
And it's been plaguing me too

La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la

Realize it's not to keep me in, but to keep all the sickies out

Quarantine
The rock and the hard place I'm between
Quarantine [7x]

Lyrics to Ship Lost At Sea :
Hey!
Arms of the ocean reach out for you!
Rusty pipes
Can’t help calling for you too!
The brine is finer than wine,
But be careful not to drink too much,
’Cause there are remains on the bottom of that cup.
If you fear you’ve had enough
Of that salty stuff,
I’m on the beach
Reading a book.
Lost in a page.
Lost for an age.
I could be your bonfire
And you could be my ship out at sea
Look,
I’m not after your charity
And My Dear, I don’t want you pleased with yourself .
What is that feeling of pride -
When you throw your coin in a beggar’s cap?
Selfless acts are quite selfish when you think about ’em like that!
But I’ve been thinking of you
And how to improve.
’Cause I’m in a fix
And your heart is tool.
Help someone who’s close!
Could be me, right?
Who knows?
You could be my handout,
And I’d be your good deed for the day -

I want a puzzle I don’t have to beat
A watch I don’t have to wind
I really want to find your missing piece
And make it
Mine all mine all mine!

So If you’re hopeless and beat,
Lower than your feet,
Or up to your neck,
Or down on your knees,
In way to deep,
And out of ideas
I can be your brainchild,
If you promise to take care of me.
Whoa.
I could be your bonfire
And you could be my ship out at sea!
I can be your boyfriend
And you can pretend not to know me!

Lyrics to Demon Daughters :
Here come the swooping hawks
Down blocks we've all forgotten
Clutching old friends in their talons
Down from the sky to the way back
Of his mind
To pick it clean, to leave nothing behind

They go from high school to high class
To higher than highnesses
They're casting spells, can't you tell?
We're helpless, hard to recover
For the dusty antique lover
But for one thing
There is always another

Demon daughters
They're all partners
Heads together
Summon their fathers
And all hell's fury
Judge and jury
You better hurry
Get him off his back

All the red, red eyes are up in the sky
And the figures they belong to are preparing to dive
Yeah they were fast as the speed of light
Whistling by me and they took him down
It was ever so gently

Demon daughters
So hot and bothered
Burning irons
Don't get much hotter
It boils up his head
All over his bed
You better hurry
Get him off his back

I found him under
A mountain of blankets
And he was shaking
It's what they fostered
A child, a monster
His head looked crooked
Then shook and shattered
You bastards
You hatched her
You hatched her

So they have finally broken
That pumping organ
Playing old numbers
On it again
Something dark and true
We all can sing to
I know the chorus now
My brain's turned black

Demon daughters
Demon daughters
Demon daughters
Demon daughters
Demon daughters

Lyrics to Geronimo :
Just one touch
That's enough
And it's like pushing comes to shove
I think you like this way too much
I think you're way fucked up
Four hands fight
Two hands tied
One wrong never felt so right
You don't want to make me blush
You want me unconscious

I scream bloody murder
Why don't you call me something dirtier?
Never thought this harmless crush
Could be so dangerous

Trading looks
Back and forth
You just make me want it more
I know soon we'll be trading blows
Getting on all fours and tearing of clothes

I can't belive this is happening...
You knock the wind right out of me
You don't want to make me blush
You want me unconscious

Just take me down
Come on, put me to the ground
Yeah, I want it now
Get on top of me
I can't stop thinking of
Pummeling you
For another full minute or two
When i get, when I get next to you

GERONIMO!

I can't stop thinking of
Pummeling you
For another full minute or two
When I get, when i get next to you
Come on, I want you to
Take me down
Come on, put me to the ground
Yeah, I want it now
Jump on top of me

GERONIMO!
