Well it's 3 am I'm out here riding again Through the wicked, winding streets of my world I make a wrong turn, break it Now i'm too far gone I've got a siren on my tail And that ain't the fine I'm lookin for
I see a stairway so I follow it down Into the belly of a whale where my secrets echo all around You know me now, but to do better than that You got to follow me Boy I'm trying to show you where I'm at
Hey pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me Through my world Hey pretty, don't you wanna kick and slide Through my world
Well I got a mind full of wicked designs I got a non-stop hole in my head-imagination I'm in a building that has 2000 floors And when they all fall down I think you know it's you they're fallin for
I can't forget I am my sole architect I built the shadows here I built the growlin voice I fear You add it up, but to do better than that You got to follow me Boy I'm trying to show you where i'm at
Hey pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me Through my world Hey pretty, don't you wanna kick and slide Through my world
Hey pretty, my pretty baby Rock it through my world Hey pretty, my pretty baby Rock it through my world
Hey now can't you feel me longing (do you get the gist of this song now) Hey now can't you feel me Feel me
Hey pretty, hey pretty, hey pretty baby Don't you wanna take a ride with me Don't you wanna take a ride with me My baby Don't you wanna take a ride with me My pretty baby My baby Don't you wanna Rock it through my world Don't you wanna take a ride with me My baby Don't you wanna My baby Don't you wanna take a ride with me

And his head it spins around Just like the Exorcist and I Find it ever so Hard to resist his cries
But there's nothing more sadistic than an infant Waving his pistol in my face He wants me right down on my knees Crumbling in disgrace
But he underestimates my mind I know he's messing with my head My only weakness is I can't believe the guy could be entirely dead
Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being Trigger Happy Jack You're gonna blow But I'm gonna get off before you go My Trigger Happy Jack is just a drive by a go-go
And after awhile he calms down And he looks at me like a prince But I know I better bite the bullet 'Cause it's just another one of his Jedi mind tricks
But this ain't no headtrip honey This is a collision on the road And you've got me feeling oh just like a roadkill and you know deep down I know

Tomorrow's coming around a Hairpinned curve in the road She's got a run in her stocking And she's missing the heel of her shoe
Got up this morning rolled out of bed I spilled a diet coke Called my mother said,"Hi." What I meant to say was," Why's your life a joke?"
Then I went down to that ugly bar and I clicked my heels three times just like you said and I climbed that road to your empty house the anticipation was a turn on- but you let me down
'cause I stood on that empty stoop alone I said,"I'm ready for my close up now Mr. Demille." I waited for the light but it never shown
Well I wonder what you'll do with that expensive piece of land that overlooks a billion years of history I have a sneaking suspicion you will never understand
Hey maybe I'll see you down by the Rocky and Bullwinkle And we can talk to that Charlatan psychic And she can paint a prettier picture Of your future
It's that day In my life That day In my life I dreamt tomorrow had a prettier face I dreamt tomorrow would have better things to say Than, "You look like shit. What's your problem bitch? Your legs feel like sandpaper you can't do anything right" Cuz that day never should have taken place This day in my life Still cannot explain
Why I listened in the first place To you
Oh yeah something else I hope one day you call up your father And you have the guts to tell him how he hurt you And how he made you hurt another 'cause it makes me sad
I'm sorry. The number you have reached has been disconnected.

Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa... (x10) Come here Pretty please Can you tell me where I am? You Won't you say something? I need to get my bearings I'm lost And the shadows keep on changing
And I'm haunted By the lives that I have loved And actions I have hated Ba da pa pa I'm haunted By the lives that wove the web Inside my haunted head
Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa... (x6)
Don't cry There's always a way Here in November in this house of leaves We'll pray Please, I know it's hard to believe To see a perfect forest Through so many splintered trees You and me And these shadows keep on changing
And I'm haunted By the lives that I have loved And actions I have hated Ba da pa pa I'm haunted By the promises I've made And others I have broken, I We're haunted By the lives that wove the web Inside my haunted head
Hallways... always...
I'll always want you I'll always need you I'll always love you And I will always miss you, ah...
(Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa...) (x3) Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa... (x3)
Come here No I won't say please One more look at the ghost Before I'm gonna make it leave Come here I got the pieces here Time to gather up the splinters Build a casket for my tears
I'm haunted (By the lives that I have loved) I'm hau... I'm haunted
By the hallways in this tiny room The echo there of me and you The voices that are carrying this tune
Ba da pa pa... (x12, to fade)
(Father: What is it, Annie?) (Daughter: You think I'll cry? I won't cry! My heart will break before I cry!) (Daughter: I will go mad.)
Don't, you mess, With a little girl's dream. 'Cause she's liable to grow up, Mean.
Surprise you to find that I'm laughing? You thought that you'd find me in tears. You thought I'd be crawling, The walls like a tiny mosquito, And trembling in fear.
Well, you may be king for the moment, But I am a queen understand, And I've got your pawns and your bishops and, Castles, All inside the palm of my hand.
While you were looking the other way, While you had your eyes closed. While you were licking your lips, 'Cause I was miserable. While you were selling your soul. While you were tearing a hole, In me. I was taking control. Now I have taken control. (I have... control...) Now I have taken control. (I have... control...) Now I have taken control. Control...
This is beginning to feel good, Watching you squirm in your shoes, A small bead of sweat on your brow, And a growl in your belly, You're scared to let through. You thought you could keep me from loving, You thought you could feed on my soul. But while you were busy destroying my life, What was half in me has become whole.
While you were looking the other way. While you had your eyes closed. While you were licking your lips, 'Cause I was miserable. While you were selling your soul. While you were tearing a hole, In me. I was taking control Now I have taken control. (I have... control...) Now I have taken control. (I have... control...) Now I have taken control. Control...
So this is how it feels, To breathe in the summer air. To feel the sand between my toes, And love inside my ear.
All those things, you taught me to fear, I've got them in my garden now and, You're not welcome here.
Come here.
Come a little bit closer... Let me look at you. I gave you the benefit of the doubt it's true, But keep in mind my darling, Not every saint is a fool!
(Don't) While you were looking the other way, (you mess) While you had your eyes closed. (with me) While you were licking your lips, 'Cause I was miserable. (Don't) While you were selling your soul (you mess) While you were tearing a hole, In me. (I was taking control) Now I have taken control. (I was taking control) Now I have taken control. (control) Control... (Control) Control... Don't you mess with me.
(Spoken) This cannot be all that there is to life, Because, in our confrontation, with, An enormous and cold, universe. There is something comical, to the idea That we can really enforce our will, on humanity. Power, corrupts.
It's your world, do with it what you want! No, that's not the way to do it. Power...That's not the way to do it. Paradox No It's your world No It's your world No It's your world NO!
Control it! Control it!
(This is scaring me...
I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway)
At the end of it all lies of course the final phenomenon of deterioration Entropy Which is a predictable deterioration when the creative energy ceases...
A terrible thought has moved into my mind Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine It feeds on my unhappiness, won't pay the rent I must take proper measures to evict it
A terrible thought has moved into my mind A giant rat that's nibbling on my pride It's tearing away my patience and my wits I must take proper measures to set a trap for it
What a terrible thought
I don't care what you've done I don't care who you've won I know in the end, you have your fun
But you can't have it here And I won't let you steer You know I don't want you in my mind What a terrible thought What a terrible, terrible thought
I must stay calm you know and I must be clear It's gonna take a hundred thoughts to make this one disappear A train like that can travel a soul for years A terrible thought can have a terribly long career
What minds have you shredded I bet they regretted Having ever thought you up
Just look at you shine Committing your crimes You know I don't want you in my mind
'Cause you're breaking my stride You poisonous vine You're strangling me inside You're breaking my stride You poisonous vine You're strangling me inside You're breaking my stride What a terrible thought...
(Father: What is your greatest worry because you seem to be worried all the time.) (Daughter: Sometimes I can't hear myself think.) (Father: You have to speak a little louder, I can't understand a word you're saying.) (Daughter: Sometimes I can't hear myself think)
My mother spent 10 years sitting by a window Scared if she spoke she would die of a heart attack She listened as her dreams silently screamed They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet

You got a lot of nerve to come back Plan your attack, and I am still waiting Did you want something? You wrote the rules to try and contain me You broke them now, you haven't tamed me And I'm wild...

Communication is not just words. Communication is architecture. Because of course it is quite obvious That a house which would be built without the sense, Without that desire for communication Would not look the way your house looks today.

Hold on, you gotta wait just a minute See the cookie jar with my hand caught in it Just let me try to explain You know I've been a good girl but I've hit a limit I know there's not a lot of logic in it But my life's feeling to me

So, the other day would of found me a lover Had a little hussle down under the covers It was delicious to me Can't you see me there daydreaming of a future? Oh my God, I painted such a pretty picture My prince, he never got back to me

Like lemon
Stop right there before I get bitter (bitter) There's got to be a better way There's got to be a way to make it sweeter (sweeter) Little more like lemon meringue
