You

You are the sun and moon and stars are you
And I could never run away from you

You try at working at chaotic things
And why should I believe myself not you?

It’s like the world is going to end so soon
And why should I believe myself?

You, me, and everything caught in the fire
I can see me drowning
Caught in the fire

You, me, and everything caught in the fire
I can see me drowning
Caught in the fire

Creep

When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
Float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
When I don’t belong here

I don’t care if it hurts
I wan to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect sould
I want you to notice
When I’m not around
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?
When I don’t belong here oh, oh

She’s running out again
She runs
She’s running out
She run, run, run, ruuuuuuuuuunnnnnnn
Rrruuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnn….

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…

*radio edit of ‘creep’ uses same lyrics, 
but replaces ‘fucking’ with ‘very’ -- i.e. 
‘you’re so very special’ instead of
‘you’re so fucking special.’ 
Yeah, I know it’s lame to do that, but
You’ve got to make wal-mart happy.

How Do You?

He’s bitter and twisted
He knows what he wants
He wants to be loved and he wants to belong
He wants us to listen
He wants us to weep
And he was a stupid baby who turned into a powerful freak
But how do you?
How do you?
How do you?
He lives with his mother
But we show him respect
He’s a dangerous bigot
But we always forget
And he’s just like his daddy
Because he cheats on his friends
And he steals and he bullies
Anyway that he can
But how do you?
How do you?
How do you?

Stop Whispering

And the wise man say I don’t want hear your voice
And the thin man say I don’t want to hear your voice
And they’re cursingme 
And they won’t let me be
And there’s nothing to say 
And there’s nothing to do

Stop whispering
Start shouting
Stop whispering 
Start shouting

And my mother say we spit on you son some more
And the buildings say we spit on your face some more
And the feeling is 
that there’s something wrong
Cause you can’t find the words 
and I can’t find the songs

Stop whispering
Start shouting
Stop whispering
Start shouting

Dear sir I have a complaint
Dear sir I have a complaint
Can’t remember what it is
Doesn’t matter anyway
Doesn’t matter anyway

Stop whispering
Stop whispering 
Stop whispering
Stop whispering
Start shouuuuu……………

Thinking About You

Been thinking about you
Your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I’m still a no one
And you’re now a star
What do you care?

Been thinking about you
And there’s no rest
Shit I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I’m playing with myself
And what do you care?
When the other men are far far better

All the things you got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes?
Who bribed the company 
to come and see you honey?

Been thinking about you 
So how can you sleep?
These people aren’t your friends
They’re paid to kiss your feet
They don’t know what I know
And why should you care
When I’m not there

Been thinking about you
And there’s no rest
Shit I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I’m playing with myself
And what do you care?
When I’m not there

All the things you got
That you’ll never need
All the things you got
Are planning to bleed to please you

Been thinking about you…

Ripcord

Soul destroyed
With clever toys
For little boys
It’s inevitable, inevitable
It’s a soul destroyed

You’re free until you drop
You’re free ‘till you’ve had enough
And you don’t understand
no ripcord
no ripcord
no ripcord
no ripcord

aeroplane do I mean what I mean?
Oh it’s inevitable, inevitable, oh plane
A thousand miles an hour
Of politics and power 
that you don’t understand
no ripcord
no ripcord
no ripcord
no ripcord

the answer to your prayers
we’ll drop you anywhere
with no ripcord
no ripcord
no ripcord
no ripcord

Vegetable

I never wanted anything but this
I worked hard, tried hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died hard

Every time you’re running out of here
Every time you’re running I can’t but feel

I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face, no home
Your words surround me and asphyxiate
And I burn all hate

Every time you’re running out on me
Every time you’re running I can see

I’m not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

The waters breathe the waters run
All over me
The waters breathe the waters run
And this time you’re gonna pay

I’m not a vegetable
I will not control myself
Yeah spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

Prove Yourself

Can’t afford to breathe in this town
Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
Hooked back up to the cathode ray
I’m better off dead
I’m better off dead
I’m better off …

Prove yourself
Prove yourself 
Prove yourself

I wanna breathe I wanna grow
I say I want it but I don’t know how
I work I bleed I beg and pray
And I’m better off dead
I’m better off dead
I’m better off 

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I’m better off dead
I’m better off dead
I’m better off 

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

Whyyy??? (prove yourself) (prove yourself)
(prove yourself)

I Can’t

Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasn’t me it was my strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
And there’s nothing in this world to keep it down

Even though I might
Even though I try
I can’t
Even though I might
Even though I try
I can’t

So many things that keep
That keep me underground
So many words that I 
That I can never find

If you give up on me now
I’ll be gutted like I’ve never been before

Even though I might
Even though I try
I can’t
Even though I might
Even though I try
I can’t

If you give up on me now
I’ll be gutted like I’ve never been before

And even though I might
Even though I try
I can’t
Even though I might
Even though I try
I can’t
Even though I might
Even though I try
I can’t
Even though I might
Even though I try
I can’t

Lurgee

I feel better
I feel better now you’ve gone
I got better
I got better
I got strong
I feel better
I feel better now there’s nothing wrong
I got better
I got better
I got strong

Tell me something
Tell me something I don’t know
Tell me one thing 
Tell me one thing let it go

I got something
I got something heaven knows
I got something
I got something I don’t know

Blow Out

In my mind
And nailed into my heels
All the time
Killing what I feel

And everything I touch 
(all wrapped up in cotton wool
all wrapped up and sugar coated)
turns to stone
everything I touch 
(all wrapped up in cotton wool
all wrapped up and sugar coated)
stone

I am fused
Just in case I blow out
I am glued
Just in case I crack out

everything I touch 
turns to stone
everything I touch
(all wrapped up in cotton wool
all wrapped up and sugar coated)
turns stone
