1. Soothe


hungry, hungry again
hungry, hungry again
when will it start to sway
when will it start to almost break you
hungry, hungry again
hungry, hungry again
iīll miss you
and i wish you luck
well, i forgive you
and i donīt wish you away, away, away
itīll almost break you
almost take you
almost break you
almost break you up



2. Frail and Bedazzled


so now listen here
i wanna be oh so clear
i lost my soul, lost iīll stay
between your hands and my beliefs
and here i am, frail
frail and bedazzled from all the glare

tug at my sleeve
my little girl, supermaid
she donīt know that i have stole my smile from a cheshire cat
and all i wanted was to be a man
since i gave up
i feel free
i feel free
i feel free
i feel free

the two of us, thatīs dangerous
itīs all inside our heads
givinī in for nothinī less
leavinī me for him

try to understand
the ones i love
and their demands
itīs so unfair
when they canīt see
that iīm the boy
who really needs
their love,
i suppose

frail and bedazzled from all the
frail and bedazzled from all the
frail and bedazzled from all the glare



3. Plume


oh yeah, another day
oh yeah, gotta play
what it is, it never was
i donīt care to give enough

my boredom has outshined the sun
itīs all down low
i just want to have some
little fun

oh yeah, another day
oh yeah, what a waste
what it is, it never was
i donīt care or give a f***

my boredom has outshined the sun
itīs all down low
i just want to have some
little fun

bring me down
bring me down



4. Whir


iīve wasted all my years
been chasinī all my fears
for another brighter than you
i gave in long ago to make it to the show,
but itīs not easy when youīre alone

all your prayers
in my ears
donīt you care?

whir yourself around
just to fall back down
whir yourself around

my honey, little girl
cīmon, lets go for a whirl
itīs still early, the sun is sleeping

she says she wants to marry me
she says she wants a baby
itīs not easy when youīre scared

whir yourself around
just to fall back down
whir yourself around

all your prayers
in my ears
donīt you care?



5. Blew Away


lew, blew away
but i donīt wanna fade
blew, blew

and if you love her
you know it will come true
and if you need her
you know that sheīll be there

stay awake, i lie here
with her and i fall
(and) when i wake inside you
i know you know iīm yours

blew, blew away
but i donīt wanna fade
blew, blew

and if youīre sad, too
until the angel sings and touches you
donīt confuse my only life

i said blew, and please donīt ever leave
and i will grieve, and (re)member thee
hope to meet you there

and i wanna let her know
that i wonīt let her go
i wanna let her know
that i love her so

iīm blew, blew, blew away
but i donīt wanna--
blew, i love you
blew



6. Pissant


got me a raygun
got me an altitude
canīt help feelinī somethingīs wrong
with every one of you

inside your head
trust me instead
inside your head

talk revolution
as if it matters now
i donīt care anyway
just give me what i want

inside your head
trust me instead
inside your head

ooh, honey
fill me with your little whispers
store your little nightmares
of a generation set to burn

come on honey
letīs go for a ride
down where the crickets learn to sing and play, baby

inside your head
trust me instead
inside your head
trust me instead
inside your head
trust me instead
inside your head

yeah, itīs a motherfucker, oh



7. Hello Kitty Kat

i should go before you make me cry
she wants to bleed every drop inside of me
but i aim to please the little girl inside of me, too

i donīt want to be like the others, please

8. Obscured


lost your head, now you sleep on the floor
what you said, i donīt want anymore
through the haze, make your eyes up to ache
out in space, days away

through these eyes
i rely on all iīve seen
obscured
through these eyes
it looks like iīm home tonight

left for dead as you sweep out the cold
things we said we donīt need anymore
tale inside her like a fallen kite
hey, hey, yeah

through these eyes
i deny on all i see
obscured
through these eyes
it looks like iīm home tonight

what you said made a mess of me
what you said, i donīt want
obscured



9. Landslide


i took my love and took it down
i climbed a mountain, i turned around
and i saw my reflection in a snow covered hill
ītil the landslide brought it down

oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
can the child within my heart rise above?
can i sail through the changing ocean tides?
can i handle the seasons of my life?

well, iīve been afraid of changing cause iīve
built my life around you
but time makes you bolder
even children get older
and iīm getting older, too

well, iīve been afraid of changing cause iīve
built my life around you
time makes you bolder
even children get older
and iīm getting older, too
iīm getting older, too

i took my love and took it down
i climbed a mountain, i turned around
and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hill
the landslide brought it down
the landslide brought it down



10. Starla


iīm in here
please take me home
starla dear
iīm all alone

when you canīt decide whatīs on your mind
itīs clear iīm here, starla dear

to disappear takes so much time
starla dear, youīre on my mind

soon, soon iīll be leaving
soon, soon iīll be leaving
i hear all youīre saying
i hear all youīre failing

iīm in here
please take me home
starla dear
iīm all alone

when you canīt decide whatīs on your mind
itīs clear iīm here, starla dear

serve yourself
no one else can do for you like you
and no one else fails like me
in my eyes i burn alive
fly like a bird
no more words just you and i
high in the sky



11. Blue


hey blue, all your love is strange
come out with all those crazy names
so true when you lie
for you, blue

right or wrong
i belong
right or wrong

hey blue, whereīd you run to now?
miss you since they found you out
iīve been waiting such a long time
for your smile, for you

i lay with you this velvet morning
stay with me for a while
where we run to is up to you
just stay with me for a while



12. Girl Named Sandoz


well i met a girl called sandoz
and she taught me many many things
good things, very good things
sweet things

i met her on a sunday morning
it was hot though the snow lay on the ground
strange things, very strange things
my mind has wings

sandoz sandoz
will you tell me no?
sandoz sandoz
will you tell me why?
we could all learn something from your mind, yeah

she is very old yet many think sheīs young
one kiss from her and you know your time has come
good times, for all time
sandoz



13. La Dolly Vita


i lay my head on her bosom
to cry myself to sleep
i see no greater wisdom
than she has given me

la dolly vita
sweet as true love
la dolly vita
cool as ice cream
cool as ice cream

you hear a lot of visions
you canīt even stop
canīt see what youīre missing
spinning like a top

fade away, i want to see her
fade away, i want to see her
i only want to meet her

la dolly vita
true as blue sky
la dolly vita
cool as ice cream
cool as ice cream

take it all the way down
forsake what you have now
take it all the way down



14. Spaced


dad
dead
was i ever alive?
f***ing makes you alive in one minute
solstice
i am solstice filled with mercury
filled with mercury
liquid f***ed
see right through your heart
f*** your heart
i am mercury liquid pure
hot, alive, dead, mucked fish eyes, doe eyes
i was born alive
iīll f***ing kill you
iīll beat your soft baby head with my own hand {?}
careful with that baby...
donīt ever say the h word around him
ashamed
i am ashamed of my name
say it
i hate the sound of your s*** because it means no good
it means cheap, liar, smarta** piece of s***
change it to raygun you f***
billy the loon
i am the loon
i am mars
billy addly addly addly....
your name causes s***
while i may be no expert on this reality,
there is no god, but shame
god is hurt, god is cold
try that once, god is dead
there is not another one
battle
cold heart radio
feedback
the pain
recurring messages of badness
recurring living bad dreams at the vortex of lost souls
wailing lost souls of shame
we are in one hole
like a cup of mercury phosphate
brrr
shuddering around {?}
taste my s*** you wench
lifting, wailing lost souls who stand a chance
hot, my eyes darkly gaze and wonder
do not enter
why?
i was born whole
fractured, divided, shattered into a billion fragments
a million piece puzzle
a million piece jigsaw puzzle with no this, and no that...
