"Killing For Company"

"Killing For Company"


I couldn't stop myself
I knew I'd do it again
But I could heal myself
If I could feel your skin
And if I comprehend this moment
I know we'll live again
And if I heal your wound
We will make love again
And now we're slipping through
This millennium
We should feel sorry for the people
And can I kiss your skin?
And there's hunger in the desert
And missiles in the sky
And every soul is interwoven
Before the wrong or right

I know we'll live again
Though it's just a feeling
I know we'll never end
I'll keep you company

I'll keep you company
I'll keep you company
I'll keep you company
I'll keep you company

"Kirsten Supine"

"Kirsten Supine"


May moonlight fall upon your breast
May god send wind to lick your lips
The river flows beneath your comb
Granite, pines -silver shine, green velvet throne
Folding in, folding in, the watern sings the black horse scream
May planets crash, may god rain ash, to sear our skin, to fold us in
Kneeling close, seeking hands, our blood is warm, but what comes next!

I will let it go, I can't let it go
I won't let it go, I can let it go

"Laugh"

"Laugh"


Choking while laughing
the dog splits open
his steel heart cracks
and his blood pumps out on the sidewalk
you laugh out loud
the sound hangs in the air
and discolors the walls
and poisons your mind
it sticks to your mind [x2]
bolt the door shut
and sit down at the table
while hiding your teeth
your insides split open
you choked on a laugh [x2]

"Let It Come Down"

"Let It Come Down"


Some men are made of steel and blood
Some fall from Heaven when their time does come
Some of us, we run from a shapeless form
And some men, they hide from a howling storm

Now I will wander through the falling flames
And I will drown in the burning rain
Sha la la la la la la, let it come down
Sha la la la la la la, let it come down

There is a place with nothing to gain
There lies the lover who has broken no chain
He sits by the window and he stares at the dark
She feels for the knife that will split his heart

Now we are betrayed in the cold, black pain
And a fire will rain down again and again
Sha la la la la la la, let it come down
Sha la la la la la la, let it come down

"Like A Drug (Sha La La La)"

"Like A Drug (Sha La La La)"


Out of our head
Out of our mind
Into your hands
Into your eye
Warm in your mouth
Warm in your mind
Warm in your belly
Just like a drug
Sha la la la
Cool on your tongue
Soft in your hands
Down on the floor
Red in your mind
Out of our head
Out of our mind
Into your head
Just like a drug
Sha la la
Sha la la la
Hard in your hands
Hard in your mind
Hard in your belly
Hard in your face
Down on the floor
Hard in your mind
Into your head
Just like a drug
Sha la la la
Sha la la la

"Little Mouth"

"Little Mouth"


Please open my mind and take what is left
Please fill this cup with senseless bliss
Let me sup oh let me suck upon that which does not exist
Teach the weak oh teach me please to cease to resist
Through halls of glass through tunnels of chrome
Through corridors of burnished stone
Through fields of crystal and the shards of my bones

May I open my eyes, but not see what I am shown
May I carry your burden may I follow you blind
May I burn your picture onto the face of my mind
Through endless pleasures, beyond all measure, shared by creatures most unkind
Through the hating and through the raging, through the years now left behind
May I find my way to the reason to come home
May I find my way to the foot of your throne
May I find my arms around your neck
And may I find your little mouth inside of this bed.

"Love Of Life"

"Love Of Life"


For the love of life
For the love of life
In the light of life
In the love of light

And the strong survive
For the love of life
And the strong will rise
In the endless light

For the blood of life
For the love of life
In the bloodless light
For the love of life

In the blood is light
In the light is life
For the love of life
For the love of life

In the endless light
In the blood of life
Now the strong will rise
For the love of light

In the bloodless light
Now the strong survive
For the love of life
For the blood of life

And the heavens come
For the strongest ones
In a universe
Made of blood and love

In the blood is light
In the light is life
For the love of life
For the love of life

"Love Will Save You"

"Love Will Save You"


Love will save you when the ocean splits itself in two
Love will save you when the cold wind blows right through you
Love will save you when the poison eats the precious air
And love will save you from the snake that crawls around down there
But it won't save me

Love will save you from the evil and the greed of ignorant men
And love will save you from the guilt you feel when you betray your only friend
Love will save you from yourself when you lose control
And love will save you from all the lies your lover ever told you
But it won't save me

Love will save you from the truth when you think you're free
Love will save you from the cold light of boring reality
Love will save you from the corruption of your lazy-minded soul
And love will save you from your selfish and distorted goals
But it won't save me

Love will save you from the black night and the lightning and the ghost
Love will save you from your misery, then tie you to the bloody post
Love will save you from the hands that pull you down beneath the sea
Love may save all you people, but it will never, never save me
No, it won't save me

"Love Will Tear Us Apart"
(originally by Joy Division)

"Love Will Tear Us Apart"
(originally by Joy Division)



When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed, our respect runs so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good, just can't function no more

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

"Lunacy"

"Lunacy"


In the mind
of no one
Forming sun
Forming love
Break the chain
Hide within
Innocence
Not innocent
Innocent
In no sense
Eat the beast
Keep him in
Take the blame
Speak the name

LUNACY

Hide beneath
Your monkey skin
Feel his love
Nurture him
Kill the truth
Or speak the name

LUNACY

Your childhood is over (is over)
