MY BRAIN HURTS A LOT
It starts much too early
Never get there on time
They say that I’m lazy
I’m just not the kind
No no no no no no,
Never thought it’d be this way
My mind is aching
I’m sinking low
(Chorus)
My brain hurts a lot
Don’t know where to stop
No no
My brain it hurts a lot
Pushed it to overload
They say when you grow up
It’s not no paradise
This ain’t no fucking heaven
and Heaven’s on my mind
All I hear
is screaming sirens everywhere
Oh sweet baby
can you take me there?
STRANGE BLUE MERCY
Well I was slowly walking up the ladder so high
Tried to look down
there was no ground
I started talking to the people in the sky
Every word was heard but nothing was said
It was a one man ride
I was not trying
hard to sell my soul yet
Man in the mirror faded more and more
Started crying to the people in the sky
Your own big brother’s paying to fly
It was sixty-nine
(Chorus I))
Strange blue mercy
Set the Autumn leaves on fire
Strange blue mercy
Won’t get the sun without the rain
Inside dreams hide the key to the pain
Escape from fears gone far from the past
It’s only all in my head
(Chorus II)
Strange blue mercy
Set the Autumn leaves on fire
Strange blue mercy
I don’t wanna feel it
(Chorus III)
Strange blue mercy
Set the Autumn leaves on fire
Strange blue mercy
I don’t wanna feel it
Strange blue mercy
Set the Autumn leaves on fire
Strange blue mercy
Inside the weird gold mine
FAIRIES WEAR BOOTS
Goin’ home late last night
Suddenly I got a fright
Oh I looked through a window
surprised what I saw
Fairies in boots were dancing with the dwarves
all right now
Oh, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah I saw it I saw it, I tell you no lies
Well fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it I saw it with my own two eyes
all right now
Yeah fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it I saw it, I tell you no lies
Well fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it I saw it with my own two eyes
All right now
So I went to the doctor
see what he could give me
He said “Girl, girl you’ve gone too far
Cause smokin and trippin is all that you do”.
Yeah.
BAD DREAMS
You walked on the scene of a street in a dream
You took my hand
Led me to the far away place
and left me a dead man
Now I see your face every time I scream
Picture fades I don’t have to seem
So blind that I would take you on
It’s all right just one night
you’ll soon belong to me, no
(Chorus)
Bad dreams aren’t forever
Can’t hold on to them
Bad dreams aren’t forever no
One in a million fall down from the sky
Bad dreams aren’t forever
You told me a long time ago, you said
Don’t look in my eyes with your anger
Just turn your back and walk away
from the man who swears he’s your best friend
Next thing you know he’s under your bed
(Chorus)
They just die
Bad dreams, bad dreams, bad dreams
STRANGE WAR
Why does this always have to fall upon my head
Isn’t it enough that it’s somewhat living hell
Yeah, it’s kinda scary being driven by a fool
It doesn’t really matter babe got better things to do
(Chorus)
Yeah, you know the place when the lights go down
it’s another world we’ll be in
See your face ‘til the sun comes up
We’ll find our way tomorrow
From day one of history
it’s always been the same
Everyone you know
and everyone you’ve met
is driven by their own thing
like the rulers and the kings
the highest one takes the sun
we all get the disease
The old man’s soul lives in the ground
He says hello, my name’s unknown to you
There is no win there is no lose in this world
An eye for an eye is all you get
Forget about the lines between love and hate
Love and hate
HANGIN’ ON
I’ve traveled down this road and it seemed to me
I’ve been hiding for too long set me free
Like a story being told to me
One look in your eyes and I knew it would have to be
(Pre chorus)
Now we must go our own ways
Time will tell the price we pay
Flame runs on into the night
Without you I’ll lose my mind
(Chorus)
And when the fire’s gone
Will we keep hangin on?
Or will we just let go?
Will we keep hangin on?
Took me there to that sacred place
Child-like smile filled that empty space
How I pray we never drift apart
Cause I’ll always hold you close in my heart
(Pre chorus)
(Chorus)
SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
No one would take him
Gave him time to think it all out
Thirty counts of mayhem
His best defense was to make no sense at all
Take him down one by one
Fake it on the stand
Feed them all the full blown lies
Gotta free this desperate man
(Chorus I)
No one loves you
No one cares
Go to sleep and
say your little prayers
Accusations get in the way
Careless told what he might do
Wished his shadow wouldn’t get in the way
Behind bars outside it is cold
(Chorus II)
No one needs you
No despair
What’s done is done
Now lie down in your bed
No one loves you
No one cares
Go to sleep
Now say your little prayers
YOU’RE NOT ALONE
Here it comes again
Always trying to run
But you never leave my mind
Night after night
feelings pour like rain
Can’t take it when we’re apart
Don’t you know you stole my heart
Night after night keep on saying
(Chorus)
You’re not alone in this one
You’re not alone
I’ll always be, always be there
No, I’ll never leave you
and when the night is falling
My soul is in you
You’re not alone
I’ll always be there
I look in your eyes
Say goodbye
You’re crying
Don’t let it die
Miles and miles can’t tear us apart
I see your face everywhere I turn
I hear your voice in every room
Forever and ever by my side
When you’re walking all alone
I’ll be there beside you I’ll be there to guide you
Shadows falling I’m drowning in your touch
How could I ever leave you
Don’t you know I need you
IN THE LIKES OF YOU
I’d rather die than to give it to you
I’d rather die than to be true
I’d rather die than to be in the likes of you
I’d rather die than to give you my soul
I’d rather die than to give you control
I’d rather die than to be in the likes of you
in the likes of you
Love is so divine
but not in the likes of
I’d rather die than to swap your spit
I’d rather die than to take your shit
I’d rather die than to be in the fucking likes of you
In the likes of you
(Chorus)
Love is so divine
but not in the likes of you
Love is so divine
but not in the likes of you
Fuck you
Fuck you
MUTHA
Where do the bad ones go?
His eyes tell the story
Picked up for beating up on
little old ladies
Animated warfare
Blown up in my mind
Could you darken the color
So black won’t look so white?
Feel the defeat yeah
The man lost his money
Send me to sleep from now on
Three hours early
(Chorus)
Mutha won’t you dry my eyes
It’s scaring me it’s scaring me
Mutha say it’s only lies
It’s killing me
Oh mutha please
Mr. Yami Schwami
He lied to take a life
I want my mommy wommy
To put me out of sight
It’s bad enough I got the rain
The wind and thunder too
One sober day’s all I want
From the damn evening news
(Chorus)
STRIKE ME DOWN
Don’t care at all what’s being said
I know it’s over I’ve been so bad
No more sitting in your space
I’ve walked all over there’s no room left
(Chorus)
Strike me down
I won’t hear you coming
Don’t turn around
Just keep on running
Strike me down
I have nothing left to say
Don’t turn around
just go on and strike me down
Guess I shoulda known you wouldn’t take much more
You gave me what I wanted and I kicked you in the face
I’m on my knees
Revenge is sweet and so it seems
You’ve got the sands of time on your side
I’m just sitting without a place to hide
CAUGHT IN THE FIRE
Looks like we’re going nowhere
The damage is done
So long but still it’s not over
The nightmare is left to go on
Look what you’ve done
That night keeps running around in my head
Now it’s darkened my dreams of you
and you still lie in regret
No more crying no more denying
I’m not to blame
I got my reasons for things that I’m feeling
You set yourself up once again
and now you’re
(Chorus)
Caught in the fire
You’re dancing with the flame
Next thing you know you’ll be burning down someone again
Why can’t you see you’re caught in the fire
You’re dancing with the flame
Time is the key to get back on my feet again
Why does this always turn out so wrong?
It’s strange that you just wouldn’t let it be
You kept holding on to the anger
and drowned us in my misery
SLOW SUICIDE
In this world of trouble
How could you dare
Never judge another by the cover that they wear
One look at you and I can see
I don’t need your bad seeds
No disguise could ever hide
What you want to give to me
(Chorus)
So now it’s my game you are playing
I won’t give in to slow suicide
I know it’s hard to turn away
This is not my dying day
Just ain’t worth the price of life
for you to give to me
Now do you see what I mean?
Or is it just a one-way street
Lying eyes can hypnotize
to what you want to see
So now it’s my game you are playing
You never know what fate can hide
One bad night can leave your life in ruin
I won’t give in to slow suicide
Slow suicide, slow suicide
I won’t give in to your slow suicide
You’re just another mother fucker
trying to make me weak
Now I know about your kind
and your sick mind
I’ll never fall into the trap of slow suicide
