Hi, hello, its me again, don't worry ill talk slow
Wow, you probably heard I went away
Where do we start from?
I know
From the breakdown, into the fold
The breakdown, another black hole
Like a shadow in the light, stand up and be counted
I was born to be betrayed, it's clear that I'm clearly afraid of
So its one for every year
Its pitiful what I hold dear, I throw away
And so, it still comes and goes
It's better now, that I get these bad ideas, I get my dreams confused....wishes
bad ideas, bad ideas to lie me down and get into the resolve
I forgot, how long it was since I had a thought that wasn't
Dark yet I know I hate myself a lot
The breakdown into the fold
Breakdown, another black hole
Like a shadow in the night
The shows over shows over
I was born to be afraid, alright
And so, its one for every year its pitiful what I hold dear, I throw away
No, it still comes and goes
It's better but I get these bad ideas
I get my dreams confused with my wishes
Bad ideas
Bad ideas
To lie me down and get into the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve

. . .


I was never near
just a shadow on your walls
I was never here at all.

Dear Candy...

I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.

Dear Candy...

This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.

You were never mine.
I was never yours.

Whoah, Candy.
Oh, Candy.

Do you see me in your dreams?
Do you whisper my name?
Do you hear when my static rings in your ears?
Candy

I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.

Dear Candy...

This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.
I was never here at all.
Oh, Candy

. . .


It's evident now
That somebody's lying
And things do work out
But nobody's trying
I wish I didn't care anymore
As if you cared what I was feeling

Look at all the stars
Watch them colliding
These stars
Fighting in their secret wars

Underneath the dirt
Whatever I was hiding
It's turning into dust
The dust is still rising
I wish I didn't care anymore
But you know I get a little

Excited to see the stars
Watch them colliding
These stars
Fighting in their secret wars

Before
God, before it was inviting
Now I'm bored
You don't impressed me
And I find you slightly terrifying

It's your wasteland, you have it
It's your wasteland, you have it
It's your wasteland, you have it
...

. . .


This is the silence so nobody understands
Ice ocean leaves the ships just sliding and
Clouds forming, lightning shooting from its hands
Skies on fire, make a wish and use it quick, my friend

Come on, come on, come on, let's go, it's getting darker
Come on, come on, come on, come on, let's go
Come on, come on, come on before my wish expires
Something bad is on the horizon shining ultra-violet light

I see you hover and oblivious to it
The laws of nature don't apply, don't apply to her
No wonder that the world came to an end
There was another on the other side, inside her head so

Come on, come on, come on, let's go, it's getting darker
Come on, come on, come on, come on, let's go
Come on, come on, come on before my wish expires
Something bad is on the horizon shining ultra-violet light
Shining ultra-violet light

Slow violence only radiates the sand
Delete your messages and come on, come on, come on
Ultra-violet light's the best way in
Don't wake the monsters in my head, tip-toe, they're sleepin' in

Come on, come on, come on, let's go, it's getting darker
Come on, come on, come on, come on, let's go
Come on, come on, come on before my wish expires
Something bad is on the horizon

This was the wish, this was the wish I made
This was the wish, this was the wish I made
This was the wish, this was the wish I made
This was the wish

Now here comes the light
Now here comes the light
Here comes the light
Here comes the light
Here comes the light
Here comes the light
Here comes the light

. . .


Stop dragging my heart around
Step back and stop fucking around
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win

Stop asking [Incomprehensible]
Stop it now before you get what you deserve
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win
Alright, already you win

Stop it, I've said
Girl, I wanna go to bed
Stop it, I'm half undressed
So get out or get in

Stop it, I'm not impressed
So just stop it, just stop it, just stop it
Stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win

Stop it, I'm not impressed
So just stop it, just stop it, just stop it
Stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win

Stop dragging my heart around
Step back and stop fucking around
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win

Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win
Stop playing, stop playing with my heart

. . .


So glad that you found someone
Someone and so fast
It's time to let go of someone
And put it to rest
But I don't feel sorry for you
Not sorry at all
No I don't feel sorry for him or for her
My world is gonna revolve
It's gonna keep spinning around me, doll
The world where no one belongs to her
And you're the one she thinks she wants
It's true, she's lovely and blue

So now that it's underground
And they're talking too fast
Whatever that they're talking about, it's not me,
It's all in the past
And I don't feel sorry for you
I'm not sorry at all
No I don't feel sorry, in fact just the opposite
My world is gonna revolve
It's gonna keep spinning around me
The world where no one belongs to her
And you're the one she wants
My world
My world is gonna revolve
It's gonna to keep spinning round me, doll
The world where no one belongs to her
And you're the one she thinks she wants
She thinks, she wants, the world
The world she thinks she wants
It's hers and you'll never get through
Oh god it's so true
It's true,
It's true, she so lovely and blue

. . .


I told everybody I was late
But I was hiding in the back
Hiding in the back, my hands, they shake
Happy Birthday, I'm your birthday cake

And I'm lit and I'm late
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
I was wrong, you were right
I was wrong, you were right

Happy Birthday

I told everybody I was clean
But I had clouds in my bath
Listenin' to music, reading poetry
Nodding off and nearly drownin' myself

But it's clear, you're clearly upset
Wanna smoke, my smokes are all wet
I've got two and both of them lit

Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday
I'm your birthday cake and I'm lit

. . .


First things first
Straight out of the box
It's time to open your presents, baby
It's a family full of light and nope, it's not much

This one is mine
I keep it with me all the time like a crutch
But something ancient passed down from my father
Something that nobody can touch

A kiss away from sea and the stars
In the night when your home is on the way
On the way or in between the bars
And those kisses, those kisses, they're lost

But, ooh
Don't worry, baby
It's not you
This can't be as crazy
And these kisses start the war

I got a taste of sleep when
Wreck like junkies hate the [Incomprehensible]
Like drunks with all their missin' cigarettes
And the prophets in schools and black [Incomprehensible] windows

Artificial flowers
And TV remote controls, I get lost
Things change, people don't
People don't, things change, no

A kiss away from sea and the stars
Even when I think all is underway
On the way or in between the bars
And those kisses, those kisses, they're lost

But, ooh
Don't worry, baby
It's not you
This can't be as crazy

Oh, ooh
Don't worry, baby
It's not you
This can't be as crazy
Damn, these kisses start the wars
These kisses start the wars

. . .


I make reservation at The Crystal Skull
For me, for me and Scarlet and a friend of hers
I'm not gonna lie to you, it only gets worse
She gets so disconnected when her glasses do fall

And Scarlet gets bombed
Scarlet gets high
And she breaks into a song

Scarlet gets loud
Scarlet gets lost
And then the gloves come off

And she's like this every night
Down at The Crystal Skull
The Crystal Skull is open all night

I think I was ready for a quiet night
A quiet night of talking, we ended up in middle
Ended up downtown 'cause Scarlet's thirsty inside
She's a fisherman who drains the ocean first and then decides

Scarlet gets bombed
Scarlet gets high
And she bursts into a song

Scarlet gets loud
Scarlet gets angry
And Scarlet is so tired
She's been swimmin' for a while
Her body reaches shore right in the crimson tide

Down at The Crystal Skull
The Crystal Skull
The Crystal Skull
The Crystal Skull
Is open all night
Is open all night

And Scarlet told me to burn tonight
No way out tonight
No way out tonight

Scarlet's ready to move out
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Scarlet's ready to move out
Tonight
She's just ready to move out
Tonight, oh

. . .


I try so hard to be good
That I get these bad ideas
I try so hard to be good
It doesn't always work out
It doesn't always work out

But I try to feel the sunlight on my eye
Shake out the shadows that were following me 'round
It's very nice, you know and quite a lot to take in
To feel the sunlight and stop growing again

I've tried myself to pushin' you
I was watchin' you, watchin' you do it to me
I've tried myself to put it in you
And you get used to bein' happy
You get used to it, used to it, used to it

I like to think about the clouds
How they are movin'
Sometimes it's nice to stay home
When everybody goes out
It's nice and quiet when they call it so loud
I don't understand

I shuffle cool 'cross the boulevard
My feet move steady, my steps go up and down
I'm always late, you know, I'm late and never ready
I keep it steady, though when I get tied and all that ride

I've tried myself to pushin' you
I was watchin' you, watchin' you do it to me
I was a evasive [Incomprehensible]

But you'll get used to bein' happy
You'll get used to it, used to it, used to it
But you'll get used to bein' happy
You'll get used to it, used to it, used to it

Make no mistakes, you're bein' used
You don't wanna lose it, baby
When he included, oh, so easy to confuse
You allow no [Incomprehensible]
Eventually you'll lose it, eventually you'll lose it
Oh, get used to it, get used to it

. . .


No silence, no sound, no feelin'
On and on and on and on and
Go under and down again and on
On and on

No question, no talk, no heartbeat
Or ESP or MSC
I go under and down again and on
On and on

Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good, it's not
Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good

It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not
It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not
It's not, it's not, nobody understands
It's over God, it's over God

No balance profound as violence
Oh, I doubt it, against my soul
When I go under and down again and on
On and on

No wonder I fell, nobody
Was underneath me there to catch me
I'll go under and down again and on
And on and on

Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good, it's not
Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good

It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not
It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not
It's not, it's not, nobody understands
It's over God, it's over God, oh

So liar, stand up
So liar, stand up
Stand up

. . .


Here comes your song, it's on the radio
Here comes your song, here comes your song
Everybody in the backseat, come and sing along

We're fucked, we're fucked
There's been an accident, somebody stole your face
We're fucked, we're fucked
You were always something else, there's nothing to replace

You got some shit to throw out
You got some numbers to erase

Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Ringing all night, it's slower than the bar
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
How do you spell
Look way around or replace those numbers?

Here comes your song, it's on the stereo
So turn it on, so turn it up
Everybody in the backseat's about to throw up

We're fucked, we're fucked
There's been a tragedy, hardly words remind us, baby
We're fucked, we're fucked
Fuck, you walked in a piece, this isn't war and peace

You were always good enough
There was nothing to replace
You got some shit to throw out
You got some numbers to erase

You got names to forget
Plus some people to call
There was nothing to replace
You've been good enough all along

You just got settled in
And you wanna get down
And feel like you are loved
Feel like you are loved

Nobody's mad at you
These people love you
And they wanna see you are bein' strong
Wanna see you are bein' strong

So lose no numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers

So lose no numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers

So lose the numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers

So lose the numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
The names and the phone

Here comes your song, it's on the stereo
Here comes your song, it's on the radio
Here comes your song, here comes your song

We're fucked, we're fucked
And hung up alone

. . .

I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Don't see it, don't see it at all

I don't see them, they're lookin' for me
I don't see them, they don't see me
Guess it was invisible

Ice
The ice
Ice
Ice, ice, ice
Icicle, icicle

I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Don't panic, they know you are numb

I don't see them, they're looking for me
I don't see them, they don't see me
Guess it was invisible

Ice, ice, ice
Ice, ice, ice
Icicle, icicle

There's too many lights in here
And I don't understand
I don't understand
Where I'm goin', whether I'm dead

There's too many lights in here
And I don't understand
I think I hear an angel singin'

Hear an angel softly beside you
Hear an angel [Incomprehensible] anymore
Underneath the ice, beneath all, you died twice

I don't see you walkin' past me
I don't see you, don't hear you
[Incomprehensible]

I don't hear them, they're lookin' for me
I don't hear them, they don't hear me
Underneath the icicle

The ice
Ice, ice , ice

. . .


no time to explain
always hopeless in a hurry
there's no one to blame
for an empty heart

well, well, well
nothing's gonna change
nothing's gonna change our way out
into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well

my heart isn't black
it's just dirty from the floors
nobody walks accross
nobody walks accross or sleeps on anymore

well, well, well
nothing's gonna change
nothing's gonna change, oh well
into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
wishing well
wishing well
at the bottom of the wishing well

no one left to blame
no body to dismember
just a shadow on the floor
a shadow on the floor
from a light that wasn't on, oh well
well, well
nothing's gonna change
oh well
into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
the bottom of the wishing well
wishing well
at the bottom of the wishing well
oooh
oooh
oh

. . .


You and I, we were born to play these parts
And we play them so well
So well and often, sometimes you and I forget to know
Who we really are, it keeps me locked into the deal

Binary stars, companions in the sky
Always in orbit but never to collide
We're just not going supernova anytime soon
We're just two stars out under the moon

Typecast, we play losers
Who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
We're typecast, what a show
Why won't they cancel us?

We got a million more seasons to go
Oh no, oh yes
We've been typecast
Ooh

Every shadow I knew you underneath
Was just a studio trick, a spotlight on the stage
Black puddles to simulate the depth
To manipulate the young and naive and hide your age

We're worse than liars, we're paid to be fakes
Ghost lights in our living rooms for in-between matinees
Two lonely stars, someplace beyond the moon
Where the light is coming from but never receiving or getting any

We're typecast, we play losers
Who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
We're typecast, what a show
Why won't they cancel us?
Oh, no

Typecast, we play losers
Who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
We're typecast, what a show
Why won't they cancel us?

We've been typecast
Ooh, yeah
We've been typecast

. . .


All I want, all I want, all I want is a girl
Someone that cares enough about me
That she refuses to react
When I act like I don't care about her

Ice-packs for my shiners
Though you're on my nerves
Someone smart enough to click me back together
[Incomprehensible] simple and suede and still evadable

Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Well, I don't know

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone I love and who loves me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, that and maybe the world
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Someone that loves me the way of
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars

All I want, all I want, all I want is the chance
Someone with lasers and mirrors for eyes
Catching radio waves of Valium plants

That can dance to the music
And hover in the air
Someone that makes me feel at home whenever
Today, tomorrow, you get it forever

Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Well, I don't know

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone I love and who loves me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, that and maybe the world
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Someone that loves me the way of
Star Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars

. . .


My favorite song, don't know how it goes
It's temperamental like a static comin' over the radio
When I signal to a satellite nobody is home
And, oh, she's never endangered and never met a stranger

Heaven and earth, body and soul
Tell me that you miss me when I'm gone
Like a book in a fireplace, too hard to read
All hot and on fire, let's go to sleep

By the way, I'm free tonight
If you wanna go out
And see a movie and celebrate
You're my favorite

My favorite songs go by, people stare
You know they need a lot of oxygen and like to wash their hair
And I can build a telephone out of tin caps
So we can have some conversations 'cross the string, nobody understands
Say what?

Heaven and earth, body and soul
Tell me that you miss me when I'm gone
Glasses and them real strange men with the huge hats
Two guitars and one violin

In rented black suits with their own sad songs
They try to play it but they get it all wrong
[Incomprehensible] and one sad smart affair
That's my favorite song

Hey, I'm free tonight
If you wanna go out
And see a movie
Instead of calling me proud

Okay, guy, you're my favorite
You're my favorite
You're my favorite
So don't give up
Don't give up
