I will swim across ocean just to talk with you
I will climb on tall mountains just to look at you I give my soul to the devil if you ask me to I will walk out of heaven just to be with you This is absolute This is absolution I will be a disciple and I'd worship you There's no prophets or reason light the sky for you Give the children of Eden if you want me to Close the bad eyes of fortune meant if they offended you This is absolute This is absolution |

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette And now the light fades out And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this And there's a knock on the door And just for a second I thought I remembered you So now I'm alone And now I can think for myself About little deals And S.U's And things I just don't understand A white lie that night Or a sly touch at times I don't think it meant anything to you So I open the door It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway 'Please sit down' A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed You know I hate to ask But are 'friends' electric? Only mine's broke down And now I've no-one to love So I found out your reasons For the phone calls and smiles And it hurts And I'm lonely And I should never have tried And I missed you tonight It must be time to leave You see it meant everything to me Now the light fades out And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this It's cold outside And the paint's peeling off of my walls You know I hate to ask But are 'friends' electric? Only mine's broke down And now I've no-one to love |

The problems of need
I need you Sleepless nights in Rusty beds No one came here Tonight I pulled on me I needed to I unstick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die Your favorite trick Was to touch me inside Oh so very Art nouveau Completely false Feelings of love I don't Someone died here But that was years ago I unstick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die I unstick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die |

It was hard to avoid
I suppose it was the shame But they didn't even try You see we'd never met and they didn't have names There was nothing I could do So I turned on the crowd And I screamed 'you and you' 'It could have been you And they seemed to think That I looked that way Or maybe I was wrong So I said... Do you know Mr. Wall? and they looked the other way and then they smiled at me But the police came And I said it was me And I just walked away |

[These are the original lyrics - the Et's cover of the song
features some changes and a brand new chorus... I have all the info I need, will update this following the u nmothballing of thr site...] So here am I quite by chance near the phone I could call and make you crawl into bed Questions always questions I'll just speak in slow motion About obsessions with boys on the floor Take that smile off your face Wipe that tear from your eye Don't say you're sorry for me Now look at me like a stormtrooper in drag And i'll let you feel exactly like I do It's so disgusting I'm so tired of rhythm And needles in arms I don't want your point of view Nothing to do Nothing to do steal And there's nothing to say Love it Love it I need to |

I've been waiting here
Waiting for faith and the word to fall Now the darkness comes And I'll pray for the end of us all Don't let the dark into me We killed the angels that warned us of you Don't let the dark into me We raised the tower of Babel for you Don't let the dark into me We let the children build temples for you Don't let the dark into me Don't let the vengeance of Heaven be you So pray to me, I'm the Lord's new disease Look down into the faces of God Bow down and cry, I'm the black Messiah The one true divinity I kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter Who said I'd save anyone? So bleed for me, I need hostility To lead the faithful and the blind Don't let the light shine on me I am the poison that feeds life to you Don't let the light shine on me I am the demon that waits inside you Don't let the light shine on me I am the ghost that reminds death of you Don't let the light shine on me I am the darkness that crawls into you |

So I wandered like Jesus
Like an alien cure Searching for my disciples Dispossessed and alone. So I looked deeper Into evil And I came closer To your corruption. I took a virgin like Mary And said "I give you The One" I confessed to desire And watched the world come undone. So I looked deeper Into evil And I came closer To your obsession. So I looked deeper Into evil And I came closer To Heaven. Your Heaven. So I moved like a rumour Like a glorious lie And I walked into Heaven Into dead paradise. |

Thought I was asleep
Lost to dreams I was dying in a big machine Didn't think the voice that called me Could be real. Thought I woke up Lost my faith I was staring at the face of rage Didn't think I'd see the demon in "His" heart. Thought I saw blood Turn to wine A vision from the angel wars Didn't think I'd find the saviour in the dark. Thought I saw a light Tear the storm Showing me the way to God Didn't know that Heaven died and went to Hell. Blessed is dead Heaven Blessed are shadows and pain Blessed is dead Heaven Blessed is death in "His" name Thought I saw rain Black and cold Falling on a child's grave Thought I saw an angel laugh and piss on it. Thought I saw a dance Strange and cruel Swaying to the screams of men Thought I saw the Lord's disciples laugh at that. Thought I saw love Sacrificed Mary under three wise men Thought I saw the Virgin look at me and cry. Thought I saw a cross And Jesus dead Burning in the midnight sky Thought I saw God dancing in the flames. Glory is dead Heaven Glory is shadows and pain Glory is dead Heaven Glory is death in "His" name "Do you confess?" "Cleanse your sin" "Do you believe in the word of God?" Welcome to dead Heaven Welcome to shadows and pain Welcome to dead Heaven Welcome to death in "His" name |

In my darkness
I hear Jesus crying. In my darkness I see children savage and blind. In my darkness I see dead men kneel before the cross. In my darkness I hear the voice of evil. "Disciples, dark angels This is Dominion Day" "My demons, come to me This is Dominion Day" In His darkness I can feel the storm come. In His darkness Holy water burns my soul. In His darkness A grave waits for you at Heaven's gate. In His darkness I hear screams that hide the voice of God. "Come children of Eden Pray to me on Dominion Day" "Pray for your salvation, Sanctuary on Dominion Day" My soul, save me. In His mercy He will bring the disease. In His mercy He will burn the oceans. In His mercy He will tear the sky down. In His mercy He will make pain eternal. "Your nightmare is breathing This is Dominion Day." "Welcome to your saviour This is Dominion Day". "This is my new kingdom. This is Dominion Day." "Creation bleeds for me. This is Dominion Day." |

I heard it in my sleep
A voice more dead than old I thought I'd known the fear But then it touched my soul and said: "You will pray for me Bow your head to me." It came for me at night And took me dream by dream To where everything is dark And no-one hears you scream Took everything I loved And turned love into pain It said "I'm the prophecy And I'll make you believe in me." "Sacrifice for me Be humility." It said: "I'll make everyone pay I'll make everyone pay Some things you can't forget I'll make everyone pay Some things you can't forgive I'll make everyone pay." "And so it comes to this Death or eternity? Or would you like to pay For all humanity? Do you believe in faith? Than choose. Heaven or Hell or me? A shadow on the sane The final treachery of God." "You will kneel for me Lose your eyes for me." "Betray the world for me Burn your soul for me." It said: "I'll make everyone pay I'll make everyone pay Some things you can't forget I'll make everyone pay Some things you can't forgive I'll make everyone pay." |

Do you believe in Heaven?
That man's soul is eternal? Our prayers are always answered? And miracles can happen? Save me. But don't you wonder? The Holy Ghost and Jesus? In paradise and angels? That God is all forgiving? Save me. Reward the faithful? He lies to you and deceives. A dark salvation comes. Innocence bleeding. Too dark to see the pictures of Heaven Too dark to find the Garden of Eden. Blinded by faith and stories of wonder, Devine mercy? Mercy lies bleeding. Save me. |

We are deceived
Valhalla is falling We are betrayed We are lost and forsaken. He's sold the world Sold us all to the hunger The body of Christ Is as black as his soul. The word of the Lord Is the lie of your father This mortal sin Is a voice of shame. Look at the storm Like a dying apostle Cruel and divine Like the ghost of man. And now you realise I am the truth. Worship the dead The damned and misled Tortured and bled Like the voices of reason. Sacred and pure Sanctified obsession Holy and cured Like a doorway to heaven. Sisterhood cried Innocence lied Purity died With the angels of passion. Blessed are they Who pay homage to rumour I've seen the light Shine on the grave of Man. And now you realise I am the truth. And I believed. Amen. |

(Father) I won't pray to you on this side of Heaven again. I don't need faith, forgiveness of sin; I don't need saving, I don't need lies. I don't believe in the angel wars .(Oh Lord) I don't believe in the Virgin Birth. (Father) I don't believe in the cross on the hill. (Jesus) I don't believe in the kindness of God to man. I'll drive a stake through the black of your heart. (Oh Lord) I'll pull down your temples and burn every word. (Father) I'll kill all the angels that show me "the light". (Jesus) I'll drift into darkness and tear out the soul of god. |

Spreading the cure Self employed He's a one man crusade We want to give you your soul protection Something inside Big mistake Spread the word To the new generation We want to give you your soul protection One more night One more dream One more time One more scream One more heart One more name One more chance For your soul protection.

Tread careful
Because you're treading on my dreams. Tread careful Because I've just one heart Tread careful Let me down slowly Or I'll forget how to dream. I won't forget anything I love you I won't forgive anyone Do you love me? Tread careful You hear the sound of my breathing Tread careful Because I feel this sound Tread careful I'm falling in a glasshouse I'm trying hard to begin Because I want it to get harder Tread careful Before I change my mind Tread careful I could surprise you I know something you want to do. I won't forget anything I love you I won't forgive anyone Do you love me? I won't forget anything I love you I won't forgive anyone Do you love me? I won't forget anything I love you I won't forgive anyone Do you love me? Tread careful I'm sure you don't care but Tread careful I could change your mind Tread careful I've been waiting for you There is no comfort in here. I won't forget anything I love you I won't forgive anyone Do you love me? I won't forget anything I love you I won't forgive anyone Do you love me? |

I wonder if at times
You ever think of me Or even call my name. I don't suppose you do. They talk of rain They talk of time They talk of pain They talk of mine. They whisper names They whisper news They whisper 'shame' They whisper you. I tried to look for you. I tried for years and years. I wonder if you knew? I don't suppose you cared. 'I leave old memories Ghosts in hearts like yours. I left your words unheard Like whispers in my heart.' I think of tears I think of who? I think of years I think of you.

it's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette Now the light fades out And i'm wondering what i'm doing in a room like this There's a knock on the door And just for a second i thought i remembered you So now i'm alone Now i can think for myself About little deals And *issues* And things that i just don't understand Like a white lie that night Or a slight touch at times I don't think it meant anything to you ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GARY WEBB <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

Down in the park
Where the machmen Meet the machines And play 'Kill by numbers' Down in the park With a friend called 'Five' I was in a car crash Or was it the war But I've never been Quite the same Little white lies Like 'I was there' Come to 'Zom Zoms' A place to eat Like it was built In one day You can watch the humans Trying to run Oh look There's a rape machine I'd go outside If he'd look the other way You wouldn't believe The things they do Down in the park Where the chant is 'Death, death, death' Until the sun cries morning Down in the park With friends of mine We are not lovers We are not romantics 'We are here to serve you' A different face But the words never change |

'Bout a friend of mine Woke up in this room Looked like... black and white movies No light And someone strange in the bed She said You could be here forever Can you feel me?

I'll take everything I'm like a hunger Lying in your heart Trick it up Trick it up good Trick it up Trick it up good Can you feel me?

This is not love
This is not even worth a point of view In echo park I Pause for effect and whisper who are you? They crawl out of their holes fro me And I die: you die Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me And I die: you die See my scars, they call me such things Tear me, tear me, tear me But I have your names Screaming 'you will suffer' and 'you're all too late' Now I feel young Does everything stop when the old times lapse They crawl out of their holes fro me And I die: you die Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me And I die: you die See my scars, they call me such things Tear me, tear me, tear me But I'm still running from the telephone |

We are young, we can break
Watch us fall We can take some train down to the sea We are glass, we are glass We are real, you can touch Just for now, and then say "hey you, which way is down?" We are glass, we are glass We slip down And old eyes don't cry for me 'Cos I doubt I'm and I doubt you And never, never goin' to doubt We are glass, we are glass They run fast impressions Of the floors inviting Stay with me, stay with me They run past with telephones they scream Well would you turn all this down Trun all this down You are replaced you are you And our dreams are real and dreams are all we need We are glass, we are glass |

Look down I've seen it all before I need emotion Look left Look right I've tried it all before I need emotion Say nothing It's over I sold my soul Forever She's tempting Sex tension It could be the wrong move One question One answer I don't need Exposure I don't know The slogan New fashion kills me Fashion Tear it up It don't mean a thing so Fashion Tear it up good Touch me Picture this It don't mean a thing so Touch me Life is cruel How did this ever get serious? One night One touch I've used them all before I need emotion One lie Too much I've heard it all before I need emotion I'll show you Religion Some people Disgust me Listen to Opinion I'm in a glass house 'I've been sick' She whispers Abandon Nostalgia Remember My picture I only work here I need emotion |

We generate heat
We generate emotion We generate a feeling That is better left here Than a memory on a wall I'd rather cry than forget you We generate pain We generate suspicion We generate a rumour that's sick But a rumour that is probably true I'd rather die than forget you (I won't let my dreams slip away from me) I'm talking sex motion I'm talking 'bout fashion I'm talking 'bout skin games I'm talking 'bout secrets (And I won't let my heart run away with me) I'm talking temptation I'm talking 'bout memories I'm talking 'bout feelings I'm talking 'bout emotion We generate lies We generate pictures We generate a video film That I couldn't let my best friend see I'd rather lose than forgive you We generate shame We generate secrets We generate a reason for living And we generate a reason for not I'd rather hurt than forget you I can't believe that I'm here I can't believe what I've seen I can't believe what I'm doing to you |

Why give orders
Why give speeches No more questions No more answers All that's left is the fear I can feel they're here I can feel the cold I can't fight for long This machine runs down If I had a picture I could say it's all for you. Why give orders And why make speeches Give me a reason to stay This dying machine I can hear me scream I've nowhere to run I've nowhere to hide I can only wonder I can only wonder why Why give orders And why make speeches Give me a reason to die This shape comes apart Everything breaks down And me, I'm trapped inside And here inside it ends. There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do now If I had a picture I could say it's all for you I can only wonder I can only wonder why |

I know how to read alone
Here in the dark some old stories are told. The telephone haunts me Like a picture of things that I'd never Bring home. CHORUS: She cries like I do Too late for new words. She cries like I do ???? it's a man. No-one is allowed in here I'm the ????? new feelings ??? This edge in my voice that says 'I never touched your heart, I suppose'. (repeat chorus) She cries like I do Like we're supposed to She cries like I do Here in the dark. I'm so surprised. |

I don't know
I don't know The dream was everything I don't know I don't know If it's all falling down. I lose connection as they let me down What you gonna think? What you gonna do? What you gonna say? Are you gonna scream 'Oh no'? What you gonna think? What you gonna do? What you gonna say? I just don't like this thing, at all. (Strange charm) Let the boys out Let the boys out And let the fun begin Let the boys out Let the boys out And let the night come in. We don't like it We don't like it We're from the factory and we've come to play. Let the boys out. You push too hard You push too hard Come closer and talk to me You push too hard You push too hard D'you get the picture now? You won't like it You won't like it We get impatient as the time runs out. Let the boys out. |

This disease
I'm out of my class This disease I'm needle sick again This disease We must expect such things This disease She finds me the girls Tick tock tick All gone all gone all gone Tick tock tick Whispering goodbye Tick tock tick Who is talking? Tick tock tick I don't have the choice Look at me A puppet dancing on strings Look at me And this is easy? Look at me I got the screams Look at me Words failing This disease This disease |

This is love
This is pain disguised as a dream Memories Are guaranteed to break your heart. Look at me I woke up and found me alone I wonder If you'll ever think of me. I won't cry Now you're gone I won't cry. I should take Your picture From the wall. This is love What's it for? It takes everything. |

We are young, we can break
Watch us fall We can take some train down to the sea We are glass, we are glass We are real, you can touch Just for now, and then say "hey you, which way is down?" We are glass, we are glass We slip down And old eyes don't cry for me 'Cos I doubt I'm and I doubt you And never, never goin' to doubt We are glass, we are glass They run fast impressions Of the floors inviting Stay with me, stay with me They run past with telephones they scream Well would you turn all this down Trun all this down You are replaced you are you And our dreams are real and dreams are all we need We are glass, we are glass |

Confiscate letters like D.E.B.
No natural course of things for her to expect Withdraw the feelings 'You can, you can't' I called your number as you told the world Something is wrong There is no longer any normal to me You're my assassin but you can't see the crime Pointless possessions of me and you and greed I looked at you mistaking needles for eyes Something is wrong |

My confession
I'll steal anything in sight or sound My confession This is the sound of fear And I'll fall down I don't need it If you're gonna leave then do it soon I don't need it Everything you've ever seen I've seen before Leave her to me Leave her to me I don't suppose you ever laughed at me Your fascination leaves me cold I don't suppose you ever loved at all I don't need it I don't need it If you want it Every little girl is welcome here |
