Molly

She's really bad
I'm not lying
She could separate your backbone without trying
Then she covers you with her love
She's a bad, bad girl
She's Molly the destroyer
All the boys
They can't resist her
They like the way she snarls, She's a blister
Then she covers you with her love
She's a wicked, wicked girl
She's Molly
She turns like a kite losing air
She fixes you just with her stare
She turns like a top set alight
She keeps me up every night
She'll spit you out
She knows she's tough
And just about the time you think you've had enough
Well she covers you with her love
She's got a cold, dark heart
She's Molly the Destroyer

Angstocracy
03:51
|

I'm in danger
I wake up feeling strange
like a pony on the range
I go left and right
tripping on a rut
I never thought I'd be here, giddy-up
I'm dumb as a stone and I've lost my sight
white knuckling the closet key
slave to my angstocracy
a slow death by the cage doesn't comfort or assuage
I gotta find a light
'cause I lost my sight
it's another new day
all the things I wanna say
take up way too much space
I must be joking, joking
drinking like a fish
how I wish, how I wish
I could swallow all my thoughts
and keep myself from choking
sitting at the desk in the library
chained to my angstocracy
the words sliding from the page
don't sabotage my rage
I gotta get it right
'cause I lost my sight
I'm on a runaway stagecoach
afraid of engagement
I gotta take the fight
'cause I lost my sight

Done Gone Human
04:13
|
|||
|
Here we are
In the back again
In the middle of something
Here we are
We don't know our skin
In the middle of something
We've done gone human
In evolution or in Grand Design
Still we moralize
Still we die
The more we live the more we compromise
And then realize
Here we are
Here we are
floating high above the world
At the beginning of something
at the end of something
in the middle of something
We done gone human
we done gone human
The world it shakes to get us off her back because
We done gone human
we done gone human
There’s no respect but then we didn’t expect it

Downtown
03:04
|
|||
|
Every day my life is clearer
Tho the end is inching nearer
So I ask myself to forgive myself for the face that's reflected in the mirror
O the day is ready coming
And the mind is swift and cunning
Oh then why the pain and the daily strain and desire to go overland a running
CH:
I wanna be all the way Downtown
I wanna be who's hanging 'round
I wanna stand on the cold, cold ground
I wanna be, I wanna be, Downtown
I'll not worry 'bout tomorrow
If I need I'll steal or borrow
And I'll ask myself to forgive myself for the pain and the suffering of all
Every day my life is stunning
And the streams of whisky running
But the awful truth is the most uncouth of the mind that's remembered in the morn

Fade Away
03:02
|

|
Contrails appear above this town
Gary says that they’re there to calm me down
Two places at once, science says so
Still the both of m'feet just say go
So I guess this means it's war and death is not an option
We can blame the cops or black-ops helicopters
Give me just a second to collect my breath
I'll blend into the wall and fade away
Back the car in the slot to get away
Gary says that tonight they’ll make me pay
Laugh a little too loud and lube that lip
wring, wring out the sheets, starting to drip
So I guess this means it's war but give me just a sec
My mind is blank, my body is a total wreck
Just give me one more minute to collect myself
I'll blend into the wall and fade away
So I guess this means it's war and not a movie trailer
Time will tell if Jack or Jill will get the pail or
is there more to that old story we don't know
'cuz it was just a cautionary tale, or was it?
Do we dance and sing along a private hell
a game of chance, a penny in the wishing well
It really doesn't matter too much anyway
just blend into the wall and fade away

I See You There
02:47
|
|||
|
wake up
remember you said one time
I had to shake off the steel
that led me to my decline
I think you told me
I'm uncertain still
I See You There
run
don't bother to come back
you took the tether away
I want to thank you for that
I want to thank you
I hold my breath
I See You There
Any minute
must we wonder must we linger
what point hard lines in this time
if we wrap ourselves in water
will we sink or shine
I See You There
I want to thank you for that
in this safe chamber we sleep
I See You There, I See You There

Let's Start Again
03:15
|

|
Coffee, Black, no sugar or cream for me
Never been a one who cared for tea
Living in the land of bravado if not free
You can take my life, but not my liberty
Let's start again
Wave the flag and swear it to the press
Work the talking points on Sunday's best
You're the only one to get us out of this whole mess
What the people want is anybody's guess
Let's start again
Give us tales of death and blood and war
Streets filled with dirty thieves and whores
And pretty faces filled with panache that we'll adore
If it bleeds it leads, so give us all the gore
You don't know it yet but we are keeping score
What we need right now is another civil war
Let's start again

So Sorry Now
03:22
|
|||
|
I crawled out of the mud
Had to strike first blood
O I am so sorry now
I've always been running late
Distracted by my hate
But I am auditory now
It's true, I'm such a bitter brew
It was never about you
Tell me you forgive me
I said things I shouldn't say
Mi dispiace
O I am so sorry now
I kept secrets in my heart
Watched you fall apart
O I am so sorry now
It's the little things that tell me
I didn't do so well
But I am auditory now
Some day I'll shut my mouth for good
I thought you understood
Don't look away
Tell me you forgive me
I said things I shouldn't say
Mi dispiace
O I am so sorry now
I am so sorry now

Whisper
04:42
|

|
Place your empty glass on the table
whisper one more time
come a little closer if you're able
whisper one more time
I want to hear you
The promise of a life without warning
is mine alone to bear
The calm that brings the quiet in the morning
is yours if you dare
I want to hear you
We can't stop the stars that shine, so whisper one more time
I want to hear you
I can't believe it
I want to hear you
I can't believe it
The things you tell me
I can't believe them
I want to love you
I want to love you
Place your hands on this stone cold wall
Beg it to yield
Will you be there when I fall?
The things you tell me
I can't believe them
I want to love you
I want to love you
The things you tell me
I can't believe them
I want to hear you
I want to hear you

You Stranger
03:06

You stranger, let me make it up to you
The words you whisper puts a promise in my mouth
You stranger how could you convince me
You were heading my way when indications pointed south
You're very ordinary but stranger than light
You stranger you could walk away from
Unsolved mysteries, what's your predilection?
You stranger, madness pounding in your head
You can't help yourself, you've got a life addiction
Maybe that explains your fear of flight
Look over here, don't make me beg
Look over here, I'll show you some leg
Chances go by, I can't let them go
The promise I'll keep you'll never know
Let me make it up to you
You stranger smell so nice
I'd like to wrap myself around you but you're so damn elusive
You stranger don't think twice
About making a girl feel hot and exclusive
Hey stranger I'm looking for trouble
Jump into the fire with me get closer to the danger
You stranger, stranger than strange
But very ordinary you freaky, freaky stranger
Let me make it up to you
