I've forgotten how to write & I'm giving up on speech I can't remember how I look or the day of the week
Your love is a distant memory along with most of my family I'd get on my knees but I'm not allowed even though I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how to walk & I can't use my hands at all I'd cross my heart & hope to die But I'm heading for a fall
Just let me go for my sanity Put me out of my misery I'd get on my knees but I'm not allowed even though I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how
Decay, decay, decay, decay
Your love is a distant memory along with most of my family I'd get on my knees but I'm not allowed even though I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how
I'm never relaxed even when I say I am I'm always on the alert looking for the problem this isn't my style I flirt with guys but they don't get me I think I'm ready to kill the next person who doesn't fit I am all of these things I am this and more It's hell above the water Hell above the water I'm the one on command look at the state I'm in I really fear for my friends and all the things they have seen I've got no reason to say a thing got no reason to say a thing cos you don't scare me at all no no no no no no no no no no no no It's hell above the water Hell above the water Keep your clever mouth shut I am all of these things I am this and more you don't scare me at all
When I sat down on the bed next to you You started to cry I said, maybe if I leave, you'll want me To come back home Or maybe all you mean, is leave me alone At least that's what you said
You're irresistible when you get mad Isn't it sad, I'm immune I thought it was cute For you to kiss My purple black eye Even though I caught it from you I still think we're serious At least that's what you said
I'll put you down as the third alternative When you get to the bottom of the list In the call for sanity, nothing breathes So I'll put you up as a friend of Mary's 'Cause when she's raring to go she's quite contrary
In the race for courage Everyone's gone blind
You're doing real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer now baby
Real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer, killer, killer, killer
Happy in a manic sort of way But I'm real on a manic high day The universe has left behind us All behind
You're doing real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer now baby
Real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer, killer, killer, killer
The universe has left behind us All behind
You're doing real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer now baby
Real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer, killer, killer, killer
I can't let go of the past When it's my future That's safe and rosy I can't step out onto the street When it's my moods That keep me broody
Throw it out and see what happens Throw it out and see what happens Throw it out and see what happens Throw it out and see what happens
Throw it out and see what happens Throw it out and see what happens Throw it out and see what happens Throw it out and see what happens
Grow out of your obsessions You think you're bad but I'm badder than you 'Cuz mine has come through consideration, while your reaction is nothing new So go on genius be who you are You're so flat & one dimensional
If you go my way you won't go wrong you'll find out where you really belong If you search it out it will make you strong then you'll go on & on & on & on
You want what's mine but you don't deserve it One tenth is all you can have Why care, why share? Stamp your feet 'cuz life's unfair Why care, why share? Stamp your feet 'cuz life's unfair
If you go my way you won't go wrong you'll find out where you really belong If you search it out it'll make you strong then you'll go on & on & on & on
You have to watch for the smallest details just to stop the alligator from getting up The alligator from getting up The alligator form getting up The alligator from getting up
It doesn't matter No one's bothered If you do it With one another
You only call when I'm alone Dog bone, dog bone, dog bone Act like a dog without a home Dog bone, dog bone, dog bone
Oh yeah Oh yeah
You've never wondered Far from my side when you've pondered If I'm your bride, you'll try But there'll be no surprises
You only call when I'm alone Dog bone, dog bone, dog bone Act like a dog without a home Dog bone, dog bone, dog bone You only call when I'm alone Dog bone, dog bone, dog bone
I think of you And all you've shown And I will never be What you are
You only call when I'm alone Dog bone, dog bone, dog bone Act like a dog without a home Dog bone, dog bone, dog bone You only call when I'm alone Dog bone, dog bone, dog bone Act like a dog without a home
A distant stare I see myself there deep in the black but can he see me of this I'm not sure It's just a feeling
& you know how those things have got me in trouble before Yes you know how those things have got me in trouble before I thought I saw something familiar I thought I saw something
He walks my walk & speaks my language all at the same time But he don't know the half of the hurt that he left behind No he don't know the half of the hurt that he left behind I bet you saw something familiar I bet you saw something familiar I bet you saw something
Should I say where you been all my life Should I say where you been all my life Should I say where you been all my life Should I say Should I say Should I say Should I say
no he don't know the half of the hurt that he left behind no he don't know the half of the hurt that he left behind I thought I saw something familiar I thought I saw something familiar I thought I saw something familiar I thought I saw something familiar I thought I saw something
I'm coming up roses now Flying high No-one can touch me As I wave good-bye I'm tall as a willow baby Tall as a willow I'm sure not sorry for that
You wouldn't believe the stuff I know and have collected
I'm hung up on breathing now When I want No-one can hurt me When I'm in trouble I'm strong as I'm mellow baby Strong as I'm mellow I sure am happy for that
Have you ever seen the things I own And have neglected They're all quite strange And unconnected And that's why they're strong
A mile is long when home is far away Coming up roses now flying high A mile is long when home is far away Home is far away
I'm holding the fiddle now Playing hard I've learnt my lesson In self-composure I shout and I bellow baby Shout and I bellow Can you hear me out back
Can you feel the way I've grown And disconnected
A mile is long when home is far away Coming up roses now flying high A mile is long when home is far away Coming up roses now flying high A mile is long when home is far away The night is long the day is long The night is long the day is long A mile is long when home is far away The night is long the day is long The night is long the day is long A mile is long when home is far away Coming up roses now flying high A mile is long when home is far away Home is far away
A first thought came to the sound And it filled itself with spectrum So it can see from the back of its head It can sense the shifting moods How little the first thought knows Its intentions its code of honour Till it's formed with cunning humour Feel the beat fall in
Then a second leg came from the sound What if I just don't deliver The queen bee the enemy the ecstasy A beast at the core of its nature A beast at the core of its nature
She burns friends like a piece of wood And she's jealous of me because she never could Hold herself up without a spine And she'll look me up when she's doing fine Because the rage it burns like Chinese torture She's just someone's favourite daughter Spoilt and ugly as she willingly slaughters Friends and enemies they're all the same All the same Crush her fame Burn her name
She'll break a promise as a matter of course Because she thinks it's fun to have no remorse She gets what she wants and walks away And she doesn't give a fuck what you might say Because it cuts her up like Irish mortar Mother's pride is what we taught her Soiled and petty as we happily taunt her Friend and enemy we're all to blame
{She'll burn us bad She'll flaunt her fame She'll make us remember, remember her name}x2
If she sits still like she knows she could She could win this game and be the queen for good Save herself up for the cream of the crop Then she'll look us up when she's ready to stop Because the rage it burns like Chinese torture She's just someone's favourite daughter Spoilt and ugly as she willingly slaughters Friends and enemies are all that came To burn her name Crush her fame Burn her name Crush her fame Burn her name Crush her fame Burn her name We're all to blame
