With your wild, call the pace
Taste the tracks of the waste
With your wild, with your sweet
With your cold black-eyed teeth
I close my eyes and I pray, yes I pray
Let it slide, let it slide
Ignore me and everything I’ve done

For I am stupid, I am poison
I take this one and I taste the tracks
I taste the tracks of the waste in my head
and you face me instead, I must be drifting somewhere

I held in my hand but it’s hard, so hard to see reason
The burning is here, is only here to follow through
But here it is harder than a screaming fist and I hate it
It’s dark behind your smile and I can follow through

Let it slide, let it slide
Ignore me and everything I’ve done
For words like bullets they know when to come
And taste the tracks, and taste the tracks
Of the waste in my head and you face me instead
Well ignore me and everything I said
For I am stupid, I am poison.

I held in my hand but it’s hard, so hard to see reason
It’s dark behind your smile and I can follow through

I close my eyes and I pray, yes I pray
With your wild, call the pace
Taste the track of the waste
With your wild, with your sweet
With your cold black-eyed teeth

I’m not waiting for a king
To rule my mind or anything
I don't need your band of gold
To take me where I need to go
There's an edge to life
That will cut you like a knife
When you lay your head down

There's a castle of sand
That gets kicked in your face
To see how easily you'd fall from grace
There's a piece of dust
That crumbles in your hand
If you decide to lose control

No one can escape
When you find out they're fake
And you want to take the whole lot down

A simple man, well he could do more
But you can only see the traces
That have gone before

There's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
If you walk the white line
There's a piece of dust that crumbles in your hand
If you decide to lose control
There's a castle of sand that gets kicked in your face
To see how easily you'd fall from grace
Yes, there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

There's an edge to life that will cut you like a knife
When you lay your head down

You know you can't escape when you find out they're fake
And you want to take the whole lot down

There's no truth in the lie that only angels cry

When everybody knows we're all born to die
There's an edge to life that will cut you like a knife

I miss you

There's no power that is such a thrill
That can make a man or anything

I miss you

If your body's feeling bad
And it's the only one you have
You want to take away the pain
Go out walking in the rain
Watch the flowers go to bed
Color Ask the man inside your head
Your spirit never has to grieve
All you've got to do's believe
The faith healer, the faith healer

All you've got to do is feel
Your body's going to start to heal
Fingertips of holy fire
Everlasting sweet desire
It don’t matter what the doctors say
Healer man, sail away
Immortality for two
Miracles will come to you
The faith healer, the faith healer

Can I put my hands on you

Faith and hope and charity
Simple relativity
He can make you understand
Calm enough to take his hand
Remember when somebody said
Ask the man inside your head
Fingertips and holy fire
Everlasting sweet desire
The faith healer, the faith healer

Can I put my hands on you

The faith healer, the faith healer

Come on, the night is young
Seek me out because
I'm ready to get stung
So long, so long, feed me
Come on, show me, come on, need me
Come on, show me the way
Come on, need me in that way, so long
You just never ever get what you want
You just never ever get what you need

Come on, you deserve me
Come on, it’s the thought of you in my veins
Come on, show me the way
Come on, show me the feeling, so long

You just never ever get what you want
You just never ever get what you need

Lord help me to believe, I've got a need
Killed by the world I'm filled full of greed
Deaf to the touch of a human hand
Can't stand beaten down by a broken old man
Broken men fill a city full of sadness
Broken limbs fill a body full of badness
I need a need other than the sting of sin
I need a sweet kiss to syncopate the rut I’m in
I've got a lover, she clothes me in another
A bad thing to bring to sacrifice under the covers
She said, could all that red come from inside of me
Like something living made a decision to cease to be
Life isn't like that, life isn't like this
I have a need to know what it is
Have you stopped to see what it is to be free
How the world has become a giant shopping spree

Lord help me to believe how the world has changed
If it happens enough, does it seem the same
If it happens to me over and over again
Will I cease to feel all the pain I'm in
Will I cease to feel, will I start to believe
Will I need nothing more than the air that I breathe
Well why waste breathing on a living death
Why even bother with another breath

Why believe, why care, why even fucking feel
Why try to see beyond the evening meal

They tell me four billion people are alive today
But they say that life is sacred anyway

But then to see it, no one seems to be living
Oh lord what is it that we're giving

You're blind, you're blind
You're blind from the facts
You're blind, you're blind
You're blind from the facts
You're blind
You're blind, you're blind from the facts
You're blind
Blind from the facts

I felt life like a kiss in the morning
I heard love like a rainstorm on top of an awning
But then I left home to spend the night alone
And then I saw a man asleep on the cold stone
Was he asleep, maybe dead, maybe dying
I saw in heaven all the angels were crying

I saw myself as I just walked by
I saw another as he turned a blind eye
I saw another as he kicked the man
And that his friends all laughed and didn't take a stand
I burned inside, put my hand through a wall
I cursed the world that there is suffering and cruelty at all
I cursed myself that there is suffering and cruelty in me

That though my eyes have sight they're too full to see
That this would be life, like a job and a wife
Like a car and a house and a garden and a knife
Is it freedom to choose what is not a choice
Or is it freedom to silence what is not a voice
Is it freedom to have one belief
Or do you choose to live a life full of grief
I can't choose what I can't believe
That the way of life is to live and grieve
Cause I see living as a place in the sun
And the world as a place for a kingdom to come

A girl who can’t shake off the smell of a man she met but didn’t know well
She thinks she feels him in her skin, she thinks she sees his sideways grin
She sees him on the street by chance follows him as if entranced
Gets on a train that he gets on
A girl like this she is possessed
She sits two seats behind his own, can hear him sigh, a little moan
She wonders what he’s thinking of as he removes his right hand glove
She notices his hand is strange, as if the bones were rearranged
She thinks of what she’ll say to him, she hears it playing deep within
You’re all that I need to get high

The man jumps to him feet just then slips out the train and round a bend
She almost loses sight of him, shuts her eyes, thinks of his skin
She catches up just as he goes into a bar and down below
To where cases of wine are stacked there is no light it’s nearly black

You’re all I need to get high

He turns around to face her then, his right hand seems to claw the air
She doesn’t know why she came here, she doesn’t know what possessed her
Sweat’s running down her spine
But then he breaks into a smile that lights up his whole face
And then he starts to laugh and laugh and laugh, and then he says
“I’ve thought about you since that day we met but barely spoke”

They start to kiss, he rubs his hand inside her tights inner band
She shivers up against him hard, she reaches inside of him far
But then she stops, she pulls away, she starts to go and he tells her “stay”
But she walks determined up the stairs she sways a bit, she flaunts her wares
She’s got him where she wants him now
She knows he’ll follow hard and how anything she says will go
Any yes she’ll turn to no
He follows her outside and says
“Hey wait, don’t go, stay here”
She turns around and sneers at him
And walks away for days

I can make a perfect picture from a voice
Her serenity oozed into my ear
It didn’t take long for her to know me and I knew it felt good
Pick me up and use me, pick me up and use me she was saying
You are nothing, you are nothing without me
You are nothing, you are nothing without me
If I am taken, you think that you can live again
But you are nothing, nothing without me

You know I’m here for you, right here for you
See, I am the punished one
She, she took all the glory, she took everything, everything I had to give
Sucking it out of me
But I am always gonna be here
Because I am the punished one
She took everything, she took all the glory, everything I had to give
Sucking it out of me

You are nothing, you are nothing without me
You are nothing, you are nothing without me
If I am taken, you think that you can live again
But you are nothing, you are nothing without me

Without me, you’re nothing

There’s a song that tells you about
The sounds you hear in the night
The animals crying because they’re hungry
And the child crying at night
Because he’s hungry and lonely
So take my hand
And walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land
Land with me

I wanna write myself on the walls of your heart
Because the knot that holds us altogether throws us all apart
I’m gonna stop myself before I say something true
Because the answers that roll from my tongue are nothing to do with you
And I hold a piece up to the light, hold a piece up to my eye
Found a missing piece from my set, found a person I’d not met
Hold a piece up to the light, hold a piece up to my eye
Found a missing piece from my set, found a person I’d not met

Sometimes is a lonely place

So tow me over to the light, the sound the sound it is in sight
Found my heart was contained within a cell
Found my heart in this tuck-a-way-me world
I hold a piece up to the light, hold a piece up to my eye
Found a missing piece from my set found a person I’d not met

Sometimes is a lonely place

Sometimes
I held the missing piece

Carla was on her break from the graveyard shift at the mayonnaise factory
She sat at a teetering picnic table
There was a toxic orange moon and it was slightly cold
Carla took out her knife and began etching random words into the table’s
surface
Then she thought of her co-worker Jack

Carla liked to think of Jack as a luscious apparatus
He was meaty but graceful
His flesh seemed folded onto his body like a suit made of meat
Carla started to think of Jack as a luscious apparatus in a meat suit

Thinking this gave Carla a dreamy smile
Her mouth was small to begin with but dreaming made it even smaller
That’s just how some people are, their mouths get smaller with dreams

Carla’s small mouth was dreaming
As her knife began carving a poem into the table
I like hot voids, smooth pants, lazy beds in the rain
I like tongue petals, lather, a blistering sun
But what I like best is the worship of a luscious apparatus

When Carla was done carving she went back to her work station
And scooped shiny white goop into jars
That’s just how some people are their mouths get smaller with dreaming

The next day Jack took his own 1a.m. lunch break at the same picnic table
He noticed the poem carved into the wood

Although he didn’t know who had written it, he co-incidentally thought
‘Luscious apparatus’ aptly described him
So he took out his own knife and wrote luscious apparatus was here

After a few days both Jack and Carla happened to sit at the picnic table
at the same time
They both started to look at the things carved in the table
Then they looked at each other
They knew who each other was
Carla’s mouth got small and dreamy, Jack’s eyes got round and hot.

When they got done with the graveyard shift
They went back to Jack’s apartment and had sex
Wordless sex, slow sex, fast sex talking sex
Sex like animals have, sex like boys have, sex like girls have
Sex upside down, sex inside out
Sex with grins, sex with tears
Sex, sex, sex

Then she noticed the knife by the side of Jack’s bed, Jack picked the knife up
And Carla knew at once that Jack’s wounds were from carving himself
Jack was trying to carve poems into himself
And now he wanted to carve some in her

This was where she drew the line
She’d have any kind of sex but not with a knife

When Carla refused to let Jack carve her up, Jack felt cheated and misled
He felt that by carving a poem in the table
Carla had been begging to be carved upon
Carla didn’t see it that way at all
She got up and started putting on her clothes
Jack went nuts, he was coming at her with a knife
Carla was scared, Carla was shaking and sweating
Then, because she was small and could move fast
She ducked and Jack tripped and fell
And impaled himself in the arm with his own knife
He howled and howled and Carla got the hell out of there fast

Carla didn’t think of Jack as a luscious apparatus after that

So let’s be done with this.
You said “I want you, I don’t want another,
I want a girl who knows how to suffer.”
Chalk down my hands, I need to work the bars dry.
So now you’re in the middle of someone terrible
and you’re carrying a tiny crucible.
Every raw boy want relief.
You tough guys with the glass jaws, your pins,
your backstage laws, your French positions,
your stripper damage.
It’s more than you can hide, more than you can manage.

I’m done with the dark boys, through with the dark boys,
done with the dark boys, I swear you’ll be the last one.
I’m done with the dark boys, through with the dark boys,
done with the black cotton mafia.

You dream of a girl with silver skin,
you dream of a girl cooled and thinned.
She’s gone a bit blue around the edges.
You want a girl who sucks her thumb when she comes,
you’re just looking for a clean sleep.
She doesn’t want to see you,
she wants to be seen by the cameras,
the crews and the soft machines.
You want a girl who could suck the chrome.
You’re so rocked and wrapped in anguish,
some little tragedy I’m slow to extinguish.
Watching the suitors stagger home,
now I’m butcher, now you’re bone.

I’m done with the dark boys, through with the dark boys,
done with the black cotton mafia.
I’m done with the dark boys, through with the dark boys,
done with the dark boys, I swear you’ll be the last one.
It’s documented, tequila scented.

You want a girl who’s pale and bled,
you want a girl who’s easily led.
Her slim hips, your tight grip,
tell me it doesn’t hurt just a little bit boy.
Come in, copy, she doesn’t read you,
she fed the hand that bit her, she doesn’t need you.
Your fill-in girls, your soft metal foxes,
your white receipts, your big, black boxes.
Life doesn’t mean telling lies,
it means enduring what you despise.
I’m done with the dark boys, through with the dark boys,
done with the dark boys, I swear you’ll be the last one.
I’m done, I’m through.
