"MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS"-Instrumental
******
"TONIGHT, TONIGHT"
Time is never time at all You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth And our lives are forever changed We will never be the same The more you change the less you feel Believe, believe in me, believe That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain We're not the same, we're different tonight Tonight, so bright Tonight And you know you're never sure But you're sure you could be right If you held yourself up to the light And the embers never fade in your city by the lake The place where you were born Believe, believe in me, believe In the resolute urgency of now And if you believe there's not a chance tonight Tonight, so bright Tonight We'll crucify the insincere tonight We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight The indescribable moments of your life tonight The impossible is possible tonight Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

"JELLYBELLY"
Welcome to nowhere fast Nothing here ever lasts Nothing but memories Of what never was We're nowhere, we're nowhere, we're nowhere to be Nowhere, we're nowhere, we're nowhere to see Living makes me sick So sick I wish I'd die Down in the belly of the beast I can't lie You're nowhere, you're nowhere, you're nowhere to be Nowhere, you're nowhere, you're nowhere to see There's nothing left to do There's nothing left to feel Doesn't matter what you want, so To make yourself feel better You make it so you'll never Give in to your forevers And live for always And forever, forever, you're forever to be Forever, forever, you're forever to me

"ZERO"
My reflection, dirty mirror There's no connection to myself I'm your lover, I'm your zero I'm the face in your dreams of glass So save your prayers For when we're really gonna need 'em Throw out your cares and fly Wanna go for a ride? She's the one for me She's all I really need Cause she's the one for me Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness And cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty just like me Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms The fashion victims charcoal teeth I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship I never let on that I was down You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore You blame yourself for wanting more She's the one for me She's the one I really need She's the one for me She's my one and only

"HERE IS NO WHY"
The useless drag of another day The endless drags of a death rock boy Mascara sure and lipstick lost Glitter burned and restless thoughts of being forgotten And in your sad machines You'll forver stay Desperate and dipleased-with whoever you are And you're a star Somewhere-he pulls his hair down-over a frowning smile A hidden diamond you cannot find A secret star that cannot shine over to you May the king of gloom, be forever doomed And in your sad machines You'll forever stay Burning up in speed Lost inside the dreams, of teen machines The useless drags, the empty days The lonely towers of long mistakes To forgotten faces and faded loves Sitting still was never enough And if you're giving in, then you're giving up Cause in your sad machines You'll forever stay Burning up in speed Lost inside the the dreams, of teen machines

"BULLET WITH BUTTERFLY WINGS"
The world is a vampire, sent to drain Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames And what do I get, for my pain Betrayed desires, and a piece of game Even though I know-I suppose I'll show All my cool and cold-like old job Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal but can you fake it, for just one more show And what do you want, I want to change And what have you got When you feel the same Even though I know-I suppose I'll show All my cool and cold-like old job Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Tell me I'm the only one Tell me there's no other one Jesus was an only son Tell me I'm the chosen one Jesus was an only son for you Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage And I still believe that I cannot be saved

"TO FORGIVE"
Ten times removed I forget about where it all began Bastard son of a bastard son of A wild eyed child of the sun And right as rain, I'm not the same but I feel the same, I feel nothing Holding back the fool again Holding back the fool pretends I forget to forget nothing is important Holding back the fool again I sensed my loss Before I learned to talk And I remember my birthdays Empty part afternoons won't come back Holding back the fool again Holding back the fool pretends I forget to forget nothing is important Holding back the fool again I forget to forget me I forget to forget you see Nothing is important to me I knew my loss Before I even learned to speak And all along, I knew it was wrong But I played along, to my birthday song Holding back the fool again Holding back the fool pretends I forget to forget nothing is important Holding back the fool again

"FUCK YOU (AN ODE TO NO ONE)"
I'm never coming back I'm never giving in I'll never be the shine in your spit I disconnect the act I disconnect the dots I disconnect the me in me And you're mistaken, it's you that's faking Living and breathing and dying too This message is for anyone who dares to hear a fool You can't bring me back, you can't bring me back Cause I give it all back to you Thru sacred alleys, the living wrecks Wreck their havoc upon this world The disenchanted, the romantics, The body and face and soul of you is gone down that deep that deep black hole Destroy the mind-destroy the body-but you cannot destroy the heart And you, you make me so I disconnect And you make it so real I don't need your love to disconnect To runaround kids in get-go cars With vaseline afterbirths and neon coughs Galaxies of nobodies Giving us the farewell runarounds I took a virgin Mary axe to his sweet baby Jane, lost my innocence to a no good girl, scratch my Face with anvil hands, and coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth And I give it all back to you No way, I don't need it, I don't need your love to disconnect And you make it, so real, I don't need your love to disconnect No way to disconnect And you make it so real I don't need your love to disconnect No way to disconnect

"LOVE"
To my mistakes, to my mistakes of cowardice She shimmy shakes, the Jimmy Jakes of consequence Born of the airs and dues, my airs of madness do declare That it's ok, it's love It's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be For what you needed to need, she'll make it up Love, it's who you know Machine gun blues, her vacant rush is so steel I'm unaware, lost inside your visions I got mine too over, I got mine and I got you Cause I know you, you're love It's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be For what you needed to need, she'll make it up Love, it's who you know Can I look you as you look down to me Can I feel in to you as you felt in to me I can't help what you see, I can't help but to be For what I needed to need, she'll make it Love, it's who you know.

"CUPID DE LOCKE"
Cupid hath pulled back his sweetheart's bow To cast divine arrows into her soul To grab her attention swift and quick Or morrow the morrow of her bones be thick With turpentine kisses and mistaken blows See the devil may do as the devil may care He loves none sweeter as sweeter the dare Her mouth the mischief he doth seek Her heart the captive of which he speaks So note all ye lovers in love with the sound Your world be shattered with nary a note Of one cupids arrow under your coat And in the land of star crossed lovers And barren hearted wanderers Forever lost in forsaken missives and satan's pull We seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable Our hopes dead gathering dust to dust In faith, in compassion, and in love

"GALAPOGOS"
Ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child Softly stolen under our blanket skies And rescued me from me, and all that I believe I won't deny the pain I won't deny the change And should I fall from grace here with you Will you leave me too? Carve out your heart keeps in an old oak tree And hold me for goodbyes-and whispered lullabyes And tell me I am still The man I'm supposed to be I won't deny the pain I won't deny the change And should I fall from grace here with you Will you leave me too? Too late to turn to turn back now, I'm running out of sound And I am changing, changing And if we died right now, this fool you love somehow Is here with you I won't deny the pain I won't deny the change And should I fall from grace here with you Would you leave me too?

"MUZZLE"
I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyone To lie here and die among the sorrows Adrift among the days For evrything I ever said And everything I've ever done is gone and dead As all things must surely have to end And great loves will one day have to part I know that I am meant for this world My life has been extraordinary Blessed and cursed and won Time heals but I'm forever broken By and by the way... Have you ever heard the words I'm singing in these songs? It's for the girl I've loved all along Can a taste of love be so wrong As all things must surely have to end And great loves will one day have to part I know that I am meant for this world And in my mind as I was floating Far above clouds Some children laughed I'd fall for certain For thinking that I'd last forever But I knew exactly where I was And I knew the meaning of it all And I knew the distance to the sun And I knew the echo that is love And I knew the secrets in your spires And I knew the the emptiness of youth And I knew the solitude of heart And I knew the murmurs of the soul And the world is drawn into your hands And the world is so etched upon your heart And the world is so hard to understand Is the world you can't live without And I knew the silence of the world

"PORCELINA OF THE VAST OCEANS"
As far as you take me, that's where I believe The realm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves Ona distant shoreline, she waves her arms to me As all the thought police, are closing in for sleep The dilly dally, of my bright lit stay The steam of my misfortunes Has given me the power to be afraid And in my mind I'm everyone And in my mind Without a care in this whole world Without a care in this life It's what you take that makes it right Porcelina of the oceans blue In the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts The light of all that's good, the light of all that's true To the fringes gladly, I walk unadorned With Gods and their creations With filth and disease Porcelina, she waits for me there With seashells hissing lullabyes And whispers fathomed deep inside my own Hiddin thoughts of alibis My secret thoughts come alive Without a care in the world Without a care in this life It's what you take that's makes it right And in my mind I'm everyone In my mind I'm everyone of you You make it right It's allright You make it right Porcelina of the oceans blue

"TAKE ME DOWN"
Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life And all I need is you Take my hand, I lost where I began In my heart I know all my faults Will you help me understand And I believe in you You're the other half of me Soothe and heal... When you sleep, when you dream, I'll be there, if you need me, whenever I hear you sing... There is a sun, it'll come, the sun, I hear them calling me down I held you once, a love that once, and life had just begun And you're all I see... And trumpets blew, and angels flew on their other side And you're all I see, and you're all I'll need There's a love that God put in your heart
