Bent
darkness, the sun goes down
the shadows meet common ground oh
night comes, i whisper softly
don’t you worry babe
i’ll be here to hold on
i’ll never change you
no there ain’t no use
i would never come close
i’ll be your hero
all you ever want from me
i give it up
you only love me when you’re bent
you only love me when you’re high
you only love me in a fit
you only want me late at night
darkness oh, never fails
to take you where you love best
arms wrapped around you
i am candlelight to you
and all the running that you do
i’ll never change you
no there ain’t no use
i would never come close
i’ll be your angel
all you ever want from me
i give it up
you only love me when you’re bent
you only love me when you’re high
you only love me in a fit
you only want me late at night

wait a minute
scientist friend of mine just called me
she said she discovered immortality
asked if i wanna give it a shot
i said i'd better off dead if i'm not

he said it's weird i volunteered
the reaper was really pissed off
told me i get my head chopped off
yeah
wait a minute
wait a minute
wait a minute
let me run so i can get away with it
so i say to myself
baby just take that pill
and go on and live forever
i know you know
i know you care
i know your love is everywhere
reaper i know you're a powerful might
good looking, always down for a fight
you free people from the burden of life
but watch out and take it slow with that knife
truth is i hate to get old
knowing i'm gonna die
and i really wanna live
yes i really wanna live
truth is i love to get old otherwise i'd already be dead
and i really wanna live
yes i really wanna live
wait a minute
wait a minute
wait a minute
let me run so i can get away with it
so i say to myself
baby just take that pill
and go on and live forever

loser
i'm just a loser don't you know
the overall feeling is low
everyone looks happy in the web

a bucket full of grap you know
you're my one and solely love
you're like heaven and above
those freaks just dumped me in the woods
bad things happend and nothing good
will i ever get you back
oh i'm such a useless chap
a bucket full of grap you know
you're my one and solely love you're like heaven and above
i'm just a loser but there's one thing i know
all the roaming around
you are the best thing i've found
you're lovely like a house made of wood
while i'm just up to no good
save me like an island would
like a tree in a desert could
you're gravity i'm water it's true
you're my dearest my favorite blue
you're my one and solely love
you're like heaven and above
i'm just a loser don't you know
the overall feeling is low
everyone looks pretty in the web
me i'm just a useless chap
a bucket full of grap you know

|

i've got to let you know
electrify the word to let me be
i've got to let you know
surprise me with a new reality
i've got to let you know
unlock yourself and throw away the key
unlock yourself this is how it feels to be
don't leave me to my own mortality
i've got to let you know
and all the life nobody wants to see
i've got to let you know
unlock yourself and throw away the key
unlock yourself this is how it feels to be
you must be thinking that i'm losing my mind
sure have rubbery knees
its just we're going so much deeper this time
you're tangled up with me

price tag blues
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
it's a struggle to win when you're setup to lose
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
can't afford rent but we've overpaid our dues
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
wonder why another country just attempted a coup
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
see on the streets and read it in the news
plastic trash piles up in the oceans
a horror movie revealed in slow motion
makes me wanna be a bacteria able to corrode
wanna eat CO2 like red hulk in rage mode
we're addicted to money and poison, that's all
but if we can't fix this, then mankind will fall
we're too hypnotized by our own inventions
than to organize for a New World with good intentions
we've destroyed our planet with the most passionate devotion
the climate, uncounted species, and with little emotion
self-proclaimed culmination of evolution
is killing all life in its own pollution
what the fuck y'all
what the fuck y'all
what the fuck y'all
what the fuck
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
it's a struggle to win when you're setup to lose
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
can't afford rent but we've overpaid our dues
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
wonder why another country just attempted a coup
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
see on the streets and read it in the news
It's just a day in the life, living in the system
You gotta work within them, even though you are against them
And no matter where you go, should you test your bravery
You'll realize the system we have only recently evolved from slavery
but now your master is money, it's the golden rule
that whoever's got the money makes the rule
And if you wanna discuss the merits of our economic philosophy
It just so happens Bee has got two business degrees
listen up class in our consumerist reality
You know exponential growth can't go on infinitely
And if the system's so great, why does it keep dividing
when we really need something supportive and uniting!
And just when you start to feel that you're developing community
Then the real estate crooks come to buy up your scene
And that's called freedom, and that's called development
The rich rob the poor forever, but we only call the opposite violence
i don't get it
this society is corrupt and immoral
if there are aliens on other planets
i'm sure they treat their own kind much better
and if so, i'd like to claim asylum
my own idiocy is hurting me
i'm my own enemy, shot my knee
there's plenty of reason why you should trust me
as i'm not sponsored by any fracking industry
if you change the winds the storms and the floods
its either to dry or sink in the muds
and when the droughts come kick in
it's the dry salt on your skin your licking
i see death wish and self destruction everywhere
no matter how far you go it's already there
in the water in the air in our stomaches in our skin
a lose lose situation and no one will win
22nd century romance submerged in trash
what's left to ponder in the worlds ash?
here's your receipt
the one you better keep
the one you better study
lack of clean water will soon get bloody
for so many it already got tough enough
near future is gonna get rough
lets pull resources lets join forces
lets all end up having intercourses
yeah lets have some fun. come on
no use for greed
just take what you need
flood and tide worldwide landslide
suicide extinction amplified genocide ain't right
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
it's a struggle to win when you're setup to lose
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
can't afford rent but we've overpaid our dues
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
wonder why another country just attempted a coup
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
see on the streets and read it in the news

Grey

grey
all you colours, colours
i'll never know
ouh i'm flying all alone
penned up but free
in my grey spaceship
new world here i come
i'm on my way
i'm alive i'm alive
gotta admit to myself
i ain't got no glue what to do
old world ain't mine
future ain't mine
ain't no way back
love became a memory
life slipped into jeopardy
how i wish it was a just dream
funny how now i'm flying this jet beam
leaving it all behind
leaving my friends, my colors
leaving myself behind
i turned into a monster
my skin turned grey
i told you not to trust me
we all knew death was unavoidable!
i just wanted to live, to breath, to feel
and now i'm dead inside
i'll bring you back to life
you'll be painted again and be free
this is my trip to hell
all for you
i love you
all you colours, colours
i'll never know

DTQ8689
layers of truth / circles of rainbows
i'm drifting on iceshells over wind frozen seas
i'm cutting the canvas with blue signs of rhythm
its Lou Reed and me and i'm back in the city
this is my shot / I ain't no robot
(i find) nothing to believe in / i'm just constantly receiving
prisons of money as freedom of speach
Andy Warhol and me and i'm back in the city
they tell me i'm just a number DTQ8689
they tell me i'm just a number DTQ8689
they tell me i'm just a number DTQ8689-9-9
it trickels down on me - i become numb and number
they tell me i'm just a number - tell me i'm just a number
surface distraction - rather then solutions
they tell me i suffer from a serious series of confusions
i wanna leave me alone wanna find myself a new home
i'm the rolling pebble stone at the microphone
i got soul and that's all that i need
i got shoes in my pockets and feelers to feed

Close To You
Maybe in a new life
we will know one another again.
maybe!
i loved your colour so i stole it
'had to be
loved you my gorgeous lanky artistic pale hue
you're like a sun
why do stars suddenly appear everytime you're near
just like me they long to be close to you
Ye-e-he-e-hey
Yuh know what
it's over
i can't live here anymore
i try and i try
just never enough to breathe
Stella you don't want me to go back to jail
do you?
you know i'm allready facing loneliness
... haha
no.
but i would drag a moon if need be
why does sadness suddenly appear everytime you're near
just like me death longs to be close to you
Ye-e-he-e-hey
Ye-e-he-e-hey
the thrill when we meet
is so bittersweet

crazy ass
the girl with the stick horse
is riding on the sidewalk
now listen to the jeer talk
jadabidebidej
she's at least half crazy
she's certainly a daisy
what am i thinking
jadabidebidej
she's riding the river
she makes the leaves shiver
now who's the crazy?
jadabidebidej
look she hides her horse
aware of her imaginary force
she tries to control it
jadabidebidej
you're crazy ass-alive
an inspiration come to life
if you’re sad just open your eyes
wait until i pull of my disguise
find me on the catwalk
let me jump the chalk balk
what am i thinking
jadabidebidej
take me to the slow road
switch me up to tour mode
hell i'm not thinking
jadabidebidej
and just what i want
is exactly what i need
high of being freed
jadabidebidej
you're crazy ass-alive
an inspiration come to life
if you’re sad just open your eyes
wait until i pull of my disguise
people don't understand
i like things that aren't planned
how i like to be surprised
art is everything alive

new babylon
going down
to new babylon
with a shuffle in my hand
got a piece of paper
and a pen to write
anywhere you go
is where i wanna be
i love you can't you see
every little turn
knocks me off my feet
all these colors will be seen
underneath all the blue
there's truth waiting for you
i'm looking
for a river
to take me 'way
down oh yeah down to where
all the colours and shadows
would speak to me
anywhere you go
is where i wanna be
i love you can't you see
every little turn
knocks me off my feet
all these colors will be seen
underneath all the blue
there's truth waiting for you
a new kind of love
ouh
anywhere you go
is where i wanna be
i love you can't you see
every little turn
knocks me off my feet
all these colors will be seen
underneath all the blue
there's truth waiting for you

Oh What To Do
04:19
|
|
||
oh what to do
you sat down
watched the tide go out and come in
you’ve had so
much color on your skin
the blue the bee
say are you friends with me
come around
don’t mess with the ground
oh what to do when you don’t know
what to do when you don’t
know what to do
my jeans are patched
permanently unhatched
further down
the rich kid with the grown
a freedom song
had long not been song
would like to say
i’m busy with the hay
oh what to do when you don’t know
what to do when you don’t
know what to do
anymore
did you get
barking madeaten up
slighlty bad
oh so sad
shake up your make up
and anchor up
let me unfreeze your blood
oh what to do when you don’t know
what to do when you don’t
know what to do
anymore
