<01>my iron lung 
Faith
You're driving me away
You do it everyday
You don't mean it but it hurts like Hell
My brain says I'm receiving pain
A lack of oxygen from my life support
My iron lung 
Were too young to fall asleep
Too cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can't you tell?
We scratch our eternal itch
Our twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for our iron lung 
The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon
The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon 
Suck
Suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We'll just hum
This
This is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung 
The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon
The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon 
If you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be
That's okay
But if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be
That's okay 
The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon
The headshrinkers
They want everything
My Uncle Bill
My Belisha Beacon

<02>the trickster

rust in the mountains
rust in the brain
the air is sacred here
in spite of your claim
up on the roof tops
out of reach
trickster is meaningless
trickster is weak
he's talking out the world
hey, this is only halfway

i wanted you so bad 
and i couldn't say
all things fall apart
we wanted out so bad 
these things fall apart
we're talking out the world
hey, this is only halfway

truant kids- a can of brick dust worms
who do not want to climb down from
their chestnut tree
long white gloves 
police tread carefully
espaced from the zoo
the perfect child facsimile
talking out the world
talking out the world

hey, this is only halfway.

<03>lewis [mistreated]

bummed out again
buy early business friend
the smell of fear is bigger than you think

hey don't do it
do it

change seem to fit
in the end you just feel sick
and then you choke on an anesthetic

hey don't do it
lewis

lewis ... save yourself the pain
you'll never get there
lewis ... save yourself the pain
it never really matters here

we never noticed
we never understood
you just get crushed to fit
you never even smile

at the best, it's the best,
it's the best day i know

lewis ... mistreated
i call you blue

i don't wanna talk about lewis!

<04>punchdrunk lovesick singalong

i wrapped you inside my coat
when they came to fire upon the house
i didn't feel pain
cause no-one can touch me
now that i'm held in your smile
beautiful girl
beautiful girl
can turn your world into doubt
sell me a car that goes
sell me a house that stands oh
i never cared before
i never cared before
i never cared before
before
before
before
beatiful girl
beatiful girl
can turn your world into doubt
beatiful girl
beatiful girl
can turn you world into doubt
yeah
i stood in front of her face ???
when the first bullet
was shot
[TOP]

<05>permanent daylight

loose ropes still tied knots
it's just i can't believe that i returned
loose threads still they sew
it's just i can't believe that we returned
let's get out - out
will you come out with me?

[TOP]

<06>lozenge of love

i am gone
everybody's waiting
and these fruit
just a twist of poison
i won't be alone
when you're running in me
i can't stay
like i'm somewhere always
i need more
a restless body cracks and rolls
i won't have the strength
when you're running in me

 

[TOP]

<07>you never wash up after yourself

i must get out once in a while
everything is starting to die
the dust settles, the worms dig
spiders crawl over the bed

i must get out once in a while
i eat all day and now i'm fat
yesterday's meal is hugging the plate
you never wash up after yourself

[TOP]

<02>CREEP
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so f(%^ing special
But I 'm a creep
I 'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here 
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so f*%^ing special
I wish I was special 
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here 
She's running out again
She's running out
She run, run, run run
Run 
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
