i know something about the priest but
i got 5 wooden crosses and a heart of gold
you better watch out for the gardener you know hes got
10 million reasons to kill you
you put your lipstick on your eyelids
and chew up all your 6 foot nicotine patches
you go and check your phone just like a callgirl
and go and pick your knees red bloody eyesore
raise your hand if you like to tell boys "no"
kill yourself with your failed art degree "oh"
smoke till your eyes turn bright bright red
lie to your mom and lie to all your friends
and all you gots the creeps and a book and a pen
little bigfoot roaming round the lot,
and all my friends are taking shots
and hes throwin those shots right back at them
you know little benny just lost his hand
raise your hand if you like to tell boys "no"
kill yourself with your failed art degree "oh"
smoke till your eyes turn bright bright red "red"
lie to your mom and lie to all your friends
and all you gots the creeps and a book and a pen
6 foot man in your guillotine, but no one likes him so im coming up clean
you were there with your hands up, write it down
canines showing with your fingers in your mouth.

if you feel an itch at the back of your throat
know that thats me and i wanna be
there forevermore, forevermore
and the buzzing thats in your ear so clear
the ringing that makes you sit down
next to me
dont get too comfortable
you might just be next
your hearts a torch, a torch
and i steal your oxygen
you spread like gasoline
youre just a fever dream
go home
dont get to comfortable
dont get too comfortable
you might just be next
dont get too comfortable

pearls, pins, paper bags
everybodys sitting in the backseat
in the backseat and i am driving so fast
and we cant see where the road ends
yeah we cant see where the road ends
we are all stuck waiting in line
for a gift from god or some kind of sign
not to mention the pearls you wear
they get tangled in your hair
everybody and their mothers got a lot to hate
about the things you say when you stay up late
and the light burns a hole in your eye
not very pretty but he likes it when you cry
in the corner with a knife in my hand
and you look kinda funny from where im standing its a
nice day to die , see the killer in your eyes
blame it all on pride, blame it all on pride
you got a lot to think about now
where you left your head, will you fight the sound
and all the pins that you took from her hair
from her eyes, from her lips, from her underwear
giving the whole world a taste knowing full well
youre going straight to hell you gotta make it right
you gotta light? because i cant wear out
i wear a paper bag because i wont go down

and now we are in flames
and i cant wait
to turn into nothing again
high life
were really livin the high life now arent we?
high life
i never thought it'd feel so empty

ashtray of a deadgirl
wanted, shes my little pearl
pin the girl, pin her to the flag
never saw her or anyone again
she said you love a blade, but youre not so sharp
and with those beady eyes theyre gonna get you when you least expect it
you pass the windowsill and jump out the back
we know what youve done and thats all because
you got the ashtray of a deadgirl
wanted, shes my little pearl
you kill for sport in the dead of night
red and blue, thats a warning sign
the moon turned red, with a knife to match
the waters fine, just dont look back
you make an awful ghost with your skin so pale
you use your colors to paint yourself and they'll
look away and run and one day youll be
on a wall somewhere and we can all make peace with...
death

deflowered
05:00
|

|
all around me are familiar faces
i peel them off to see where she couldve went but i
dont like a fast chase scene
bloody murder filled with stolen glee
deflowered
a mess of the heart
every petal is wilted and now gone
my dress is grey and so are we
you know its so hard being this cold
i refuse to take part in adultery
and i dont know if thered be any i could find
i sit and make pottery
she watches from behind and doesnt breathe anything
deflowered
a mess of the heart
every petal is wilted and now gone
my dress is grey and so are we
you know its so hard being this cold
we live in a cave made of static and safety pins
lock on your forehead i don't have the key and
you give me a bouquet i know what that means
turn that lock to the left and we can both regret this
deflowered
a mess of the heart
every petal is wilted and now gone
my dress is grey and so are we
you know its so hard being this cold

yellow pisces

her yellow pisces walked
half a century
to watch himself go down
in classic history
my eyes are getting sick
while yours climb to new heights
just let me cross your river
one day
youll be
stranded
lonely
your skin that tears a hole
in all my brand new shoes
like butterscotch she goes
and drowns shes born to lose
tear up the cash and jump
shes waiting at the end
and when you land yellow
pisces will rise again
one day
youll be
stranded
lonely

im giving it up for my
taste of a modern life
its made of pixie blood
my shoes sink into the mud and i am
rushed with the hit that i missed most of it
lock myself up in a room where i sit
and my head is a dent that i put up for rent
i have one more fall
im giving it up for my
taste of a modern life
its made of pixie blood
my shoes sink into the mud and i am
a powerful reactor
im giving it up for my
taste of a modern life
its made of pixie blood
my shoes sink into the mud and i go
up to a place that i know
where my face is long and my words are cold
and i say
hey stranger its unpredictable
and i struck ground in an empty boat
my hands are empty
my thoughts are empty

the murderfreaks
03:01
|
|||
|
late afternoon on the bridge of a ghost town
made up a story with drama and intrigue
flannel and fruit gum the sound of an ocean
our summer of blood
the city that made us
murder freaks
i wasnt raised to say no to a stranger
holding his hand when i dont know his name yet
tied to the roof of his jeep going south somewhere
blinded by the sun as i eat my hair... he said
murder freaks
the devil is playing his harmonica, singing
you make it easy, so follow me down
murder freaks

its a place, its a place
its a little dark place
and it's living in a vase, in a vase, in a vase
wicked little place with a set of horns
full of sad sad faces that the people start to mourn
and its pulling at your teeth at your eyes at your ears
and against your better judgement you start to cheer
its a place its a place
its a little dark place
and it's living in a vase, in a vase in a vase
(fuck i forgot the lyricsdskjfksjal)
oh yeah
and as your heart starts to beat to the tune of this town
youll realize soon that youre never coming down
your hair starts to fall and your teeth start to shake
youre a very tough person but your spirits gotta break
its a place its a place
its a little dark place
and it's living in a vase, in a vase in a vase
