Blood, Sex And Booze

(heads down heads down heads down)
(ow)
(you understand me)
(aw shit)

Waiting in a room
All dressed up and bound and gagged up to a chair
It's so unfair
I won't dare to move
For the pain she puts me through is what I need
So make it bleed

I'm in distress
Oh mistress I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are to tight
Well you know I will obey
So please don't make me beg
For blood sex and booze you give me

Say I'm disturbed
It's what I deserve
Another lesson to be learned
From a girl called kill
My head is in the gutter
Thank you sir strink up anoher madaolin
Of discipline
Throw me to the dogs
Let them eat my flesh down to the wood
It feels so good

I'm in distress
Oh mistress I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are to tight
Well you know I will obey
So please don't make me beg
For blood sex and booze you give me

Say I'm disturbed
It's what I deserve
Another lesson to be learned
From a girl called kill (wooh)

Oh oh

I'm in distress
Oh mistress I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are to tight
Well you know I will obey
So please don't make me beg
For blood sex and booze you give me

Oh oh
Oh oh
I'll show you a real time

Church On Sunday

ooh
today is the first day of the rest of our lives
tomorrow is to late to pretend everything's all right now
I'm not getting any younger as long as you don't get any older
I'm not going to state that yesterday never was

bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
making your mascara bleed
tears down your face
leaving traces of my mistakes

when I say
if I promise go to church on Sunday
will you go with me on Friday night
if you live with me I'll die for you and this compromise

I hereby solemnly swear to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth is what I'll ever hear form you now
trust is a dirty word that comes from such a liar
but respect is something I will earn if you have faith

bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
making your mascara bleed
tears down your face
leaving traces of my mistakes

when I say
if I promise go to church on Sunday
will you go with me on Friday night
if you live with me I'll die for you and this compromise
if I promise go to church on Sunday
will you go with me on Friday night
if you live with me I'll die for you and this compromise
(lets go)
ooh ooh ooh

oooohh
if I promise go to church on Sunday
will you go with me on Friday night
if you live with me I'll die for you and this compromise
if I promise go to church on Sunday
will you go with me on Friday night
if you live with me I'll die for you and this compromise
and this compromise
it's a compromise

Fashion Victim

He's a victim of his own time
In his vintage suit and tie
He's a casualty dressed to the teeth in the latest genocide
Now the new seasons come and go
At the dog and pony show
Gonna sit and beg and fetch the names and follow your dress codes
What's in a name hey

She's a scented magazine
Looking sharp and living clean
Living well and dressed to kill
But she looks like hell to me

When you're dancing through your wardrobe
Do the anorex-a go-go
cloaked with style for pedophiles
As the credit card explodes

Well you auctioned off your life
For the most expensive price
going once
Going twice it's gone

(The youth Crew)

Well you auctioned off your life (going once)
For the most expensive price (twice it's gone)
Going once
Going twice it's gone
(alright)

What's in a name hey
What's in a name hey
What's in a name

Castaway

I'm on a sentimental journey into sight and sound
Of no return and no looking back or down
A conscientious objector to the was that's in my mind
Well leaving in the lurch and I'm taking back what's mine

I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
Into desolation road
Where I'm a

Castaway going at it alone
Castaway now I'm on my own
Castaway going at it alone
Castaway now I'm on my own
Lost and found
Trouble bound castaway

I'm riding on the night train and driving stolen cars
Testing my nerves out on the Boulevard
Spontaneous Combustion in the corners of my mind
Well leaving in the lurch and I'm taking back what's mine

I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
into desolation road
where am I

Castaway going at it alone
Castaway now I'm on my own
Castaway going at it alone
Castaway now I'm on my own
Lost and found
Trouble bound castaway

I'm on a sentimental journey into sight and sound

Misery

Virginia was a lot lizard from F.L.A.
She had a compound fracture in the trunk
It started when she ran away
Thumbs out on the interstate
She hitched a ride to misery

Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
He fell into the city by the bay
He liquidated his estate
Now he sleeps upon the Haight
panhandling misery

And he's gonna get high 'igh 'igh
When he's low low low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams why oh why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery

Well Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in Tinseltown
They found him in a cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat
In the name of misery

And Gina hit the road to New York CIty
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
She stopped in Vegas to elope
With Virginia and the dope
And kissed the bride eternally

And they're gonna get high 'igh 'igh
When they're low low low
The fire burns from better days
And he screamed why oh why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery

Well hell hounds on your trail now once again boy
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
'Cause it's not what you make it's what you leave

And we're gonna get high 'igh 'igh
When we're low low low
The fire burns for better days
And she screamed why oh why
I said I don't know
The catastophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery

Deadbeat Holiday

Wake up the house is on fire
And the cat's caught in the dryer
Philosophy's a liar when your home is your headstone
Icon is the last chance for hope
When there's no such think as heroes
Your faith lies in he ditch that you dug yourself in

Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay when the lights are going down

Oh deadbeat hoilday
Celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Oh deadbeat hoilday
Get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's handing high
But at least you're not alone

The christmas lights in the middle of August
Grudges come back to haunt us
Your oldest allies are your long lost enemies
Grounded in a duplex to find
That you're living on a landmine
Vacation hotspots is a cemetery drive

Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay when the lights are going down

Oh deadbeat hoilday
celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Oh deadbeat hoilday
Get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's handing high
But at least you're not alone
Hoilday
Suicide

Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay when all you want to do
Not to give up

deadbeat hoilday
celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Oh deadbeat hoilday
Get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's handing high
But at least you're not alone
deadbeat hoilday
celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's handing high
But at least you're not alone
Hoilday

Hold On

As I stepped to the edge on the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience beating
Like the pulse of a drum that hammers on and on
'Til I reach the break of day
When the sun beats down on the halfway house
Has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear
The will to preserve as I reach the Break of day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the Cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on to
You gotta hold on
Hold on to yourself

A cry of hope (hey)
A plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It's not what I want for it's all that I need
To reach the break of day
So I run to the edge on the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth the lost treasures of my youth
As I hold on to the break of day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on to
You gotta hold on
Hold on to yourself

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on to
You gotta hold on
Gotta hold on
Hold on
Hold on to yourself

Jackass

Alright
To know you is to hate you
So loving you must be like suicide
Well I don't mind if you don't mind
Hell I am not the one that's going to die
I guess I just can't listen to this one sided conversation again
'Cause I don't care if I don't care
Well no one ever said that life is fair

Well everybody loves a joke but no one likes a fool
And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse and that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity

The center of attention
Got an honorable mention once again
Congratulations and salutations
You're a figment of your own imagination

well everybody loves a joke but no one likes a fool
And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse and that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity

To know you is to bait you
And you fell victim to your own denial
Well I don't mind if you don't mind
You're wasting all your time

Waiting

I've been
waiting a long time for this
moment to come I'm destined
for anything at all
downtown
lights will be shining
on me
like a new diamond ring out
under the midnight hour
well no one
can touch me now
and I can't turn my back it's to late
ready or not at all

well I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
wake up

dawning of a new era
calling
don't let it catch you falling
ready or not at all
oh so close
enough to taste it
almost
I can embrace this feeling
on the tip of my tounge

well I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
wake up
better thank your lucky stars
(shey hey hey)

well I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
wake up
better thank your lucky stars
(shey hey hey)

I've been
waiting a lifetime for this
moment to come
I'm dstined for anything at all

dumbstruck
colour me stupid
good luck
you're gonna need it
where I'm going if I get there at all

wake up
better thank your lucky stars

Minority

I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I wanna be the minority

I pledge
allegiance
to the underworld
one nation under dog there of which I stand alone
a face in the crowd
unsung against the mold
without a doubt singled out the only way I know

'cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I wanna be the minority

stepped out of line
like a sheep runs from the herd
marching out of time
to my own beat now
the only way I know

one light
one mind
flashing in the dark
blinded by the silence of a 1,000 broken hearts
for crying out loud
she screamed unto me
a free for all fuck them all
you are your own sight

'cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I wanna be the minority
hey

one light
one mind
flashing in the dark
blinded by the silence of a 1,000 broken hearts
for crying out loud
she screamed unto me
a free for all fuck them all
you are your own sight

'cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I wanna be the minority
(I wanna be) the Minority
(I wanna be) the Minority
(I wanna be) the Minority
(I wanna be) the Minority

Macy's Day Parade

Today's the Macy's Day Parade
The night of the living dead is on its way
With a credit report for duty call
It's a lifetime guarantee
Stuffed in a coffin 10 percent more free
Red light special at the mausoleum

Give me a something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
What's the consolation prize
economy sized dreams of hope

When I was a kid I thought
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
Oh but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
A lesson learned and me and you

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guarantee
'Cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope
The one I've never known
'Cause now I know it's all that I wanted

What's the consolation prize
economy sized dreams of hope
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
'Cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope
The one I've never known
And where it goes
And I'm thinking about the only road
The one I've never known and where it goes

And I'm thinking about  a brand new hope
The one I've never known
'Cause now I know it's all that I wanted
