Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine

Well you hurt where you sleep and you sleep where you lie
And now you're in deep and now you're gonna cry
Got a woman to your left and a boy to your right
You start to sweat so hold me tight

('Cause) Somebody mixed my medicine
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
Now baby, it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine again, again

Well I drink what you leak and I smoke what you sigh
See ya' across the room with a look in your eye
Got a man to his left and a girl to his right
I start to sweat so hold me tight

('Cause) Somebody mixed my medicine
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
Now baby, it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine again, again

There's a tiger in the room and a baby in the closet
Pour another drink, mom, I don't even want it
Then I turn around and think I see someone that looks like you

Well you hurt where you sleep and you sleep where you lie
And now you're in deep and now you're gonna cry
Got a woman to your left and a boy to your right
You start to sweat so hold me tight

('Cause) Somebody mixed my medicine
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
Now baby, it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine again, again, again

Again, again, again
Again, again, again

Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine

Since you hide, since you steal
Since you hate everything I feel
Since you cheat, since you lie
Since you don't wanna try things I wanna try

Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually

Got a lot more friends and I don't have to pretend
Since you're gone, since you're gone

Since you're not what I want
You can take everything I've got
Take the seat, take the drive
If I say I love you, I am a liar

Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually

Meet my lover Gin and I don't have to pretend
Since you're gone, since you're gone

I've been looking for a new direction, anyway
I've been looking for my own protection, ---

Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone

Since you hide, since you steal
Since you hate everything I feel
Since you cheat, since you lie
Since you don't wanna try things I wanna try

Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually

Quite nicely actually, quite nicely actually
Quite nicely actually, quite nicely actually
Thanks for asking, quite nicely

Take me, I'm alive
I never was a girl with a wicked mind
But everything looks better when the sun goes down
I had everything, opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night

Eyes, your eyes
I can see in your eyes, your eyes

You make me wanna die
I'll never be good enough
You make me wanna die
And everything you love
Will burn up in the light
And everytime I look inside your eyes
You make me wanna die

Taste me, drink my soul
Show me all the things that I shouldn't know
When there's a new moon on the rise
I had everything, opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night

Eyes, your eyes
I can see in your eyes, your eyes
Everything in your eyes, your eyes

You make me wanna die
I'll never be good enough
You make me wanna die
And everything you love
Will burn up in the light
And everytime I look inside your eyes
(I'm burning in the light)
You make me wanna die

I would die for you, my love, my love
I would lie for you, my love, my love
(You make me wanna die)
And I would steal for you, my love, my love
(You make me wanna die)
And I would die for you, my love
My love will burn up in the light
And everytime I look inside your eyes
(I'm burning in the light)
Look inside your eyes
(I'm burning in the light)
Look inside your eyes
You make me wanna die

Is what I'm wearing seem to shock you?
Well, that's okay
Cause what I'm thinking about you is not okay
Got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
I don't think I can be anything other than me

You have a light
Can you make me feel alright?
There's plenty of light to go around
Do you think its right when you hit me to the ground?
Well, light me up when I'm down

Is what I'm saying seem to haunt you?
well, that's okay
Cause what I'm saying about you is not okay
Got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
I don't think I can be anything other than me

You have a light
Can you make me feel alright?
There's plenty of light to go around
Do you think its right when you hit me to the ground?
Well, light me up when I'm down

Light me up when I'm down

Is what I'm taking seem to bother you?
Well, that's okay
Cause I can't take it all without you, and I'm okay
Got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
I don't think I can be anything other than me

You have a light
Can you make me feel alright?
There's plenty of light to go around
Do you think its right when you hit me to the ground?
Well, light me up when I'm down

Light me up when I'm down

Here we are and I can think from all the pills you made
Start the car and take me home
Here we are and you’re too drunk to hear a word I say
Start the car and take me home

Just tonight I will stay
And we’ll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It’s telling me I’m right
And if I, I am through
It’s all because of you
Just tonight

But here I am and I can’t seem to see straight
But I’m too numb to feel right now
And here I am watching the clock that’s ticking away my time
I’m too numb to feel right now

Just tonight I will stay
And we’ll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It’s telling me I’m right
And if I, I am through
It’s all because of you
Just tonight

Just Tonight

Do you understand who I am
Do you wanna know
Can you really see through me now
I am ‘bout to go

But just tonight I won’t leave
I’ll lie and you’ll believe
Just tonight I will see
It’s all because of me

Just tonight I will stay
And we’ll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It’s telling me I’m right
And if I, I am through
It’s all because of you
Just tonight

It’s all because of you
Just tonight (x4)

I'm miss autonomy, miss nowhere
I'm at the bottom of me
Miss androgyny, miss don't care
What I've done to me

I am misused, I don't wanna do
Be not your slave
Misguided, I mind it
I'm missin' the train

And I don't know where I've been
And I don't know what I'm into
And I don't know what I've done to me

And as I watch you disappear into the ground
My one mistake was that I never let you down
So I'll waste my time and I'll burn my mind
On miss nothing, miss everything

I'm miss fortune, miss so soon
I'm like a bottle of pain
Miss matter, you had her
Now she's goin' away

I'm misused, misconstrued
I don't need to be saved
Miss slighted, I mind it
I'm stuck in the rain

And I don't know where I am
And I don't know what I'm into
And I don't know what I've done to me

And as I watch you disappear into the ground
My one mistake was that I couldn't let you down
So I'll waste my time and I'll burn my mind
On miss nothing, miss everything

Miss everything

And as I watch you disappear into my head
Well, there's a man who's tellin' me I might be dead
So I'll waste my time and I'll burn my mind
So I'll waste my time and I'll burn my mind
On miss nothing, miss everything

Hey there, Father, I don't wanna bother you but I've got a sin to confess
I'm just sixteen, if you know what I mean, do you mind if I take off my dress?
Don't know where to start, let me get to the good parts
Might wanna cross up your legs
I've got envy, I've got greed, anything that you need
And I'm not above having to beg

There was this boy who
Tore my heart in two
I had to lay him
Eight feet underground

All I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am goin' down
And what I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am goin' down
All the way down

Well hey there, Father, there is just one other thing, I have a simple request
I hear you know God, could you give him a nod in my direction
I would be in your debt
Perhaps there is something that we could work out
I notice your breathing is starting to change
We could go in the back, behind all these shacks
And these bibles and get out of this cage

There was this boy who
Tore my heart in two
I had to lay him
Eight feet underground

And all I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am goin' down
And what I need is someone to save me
'Cause God, I'm goin' down
All the way down

I didn't wanna do it Father
But I caught him with another woman
In the bed I made
And so I put him in a grave
And now there's no one left around
To get me off when I wanted to drag

The next day on the television
They identified him by the circumcision
That I made and now I'm on the run but wait
Why did I have to go and kill him
When he was the best I ever had?

All I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am goin' down
And what I need is something to save me
'Cause God, I'm goin' down
All the way down

I'm going down
All the way down

I was only 19, you were 29
It's just 10 years, but it's such a long time
In a heartbeat, I would do it all again

Late night sex, smokin' cigarettes
I try real hard but I can't forget
Now in a heartbeat, I would do it all again

Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now, now I'm lost somewhere

Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose

After Jesus and Rock n roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose

Callin' out sins just to pass the time
My life goes by in the blink of an eye
I know you want me, I was only lookin' for a friend

And everything that I was
And everything that I've become
Just falls into the end and

Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now, now I'm lost somewhere

Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose

After Jesus and Rock n roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose

Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now, now I'm lost somewhere

Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose

After Jesus and Rock n roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose

I am a factory girl, won't you pardon me?
See I can make my whole world in a backseat
Lost point, want a joint, show me how to treat a junk
Can someone save me, save me from what I'm on

Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
Hey, wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
Just let me in through the backdoor
Just let me in through the backdoor, baby
Just let me in through the backdoor, just let me in
Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?

It's gonna be a really good time

I'm waiting for my man and hollywood and vine, so fine
Getting done in the alley, soon I'm on New York time
Take a look at those red lights, green lights, blowin' my mind
I'll show you somethin' if you show me a good time

Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
Hey, wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
I'll let you in through the backdoor
I'll let you in through the backdoor, baby
I'll let you in through the backdoor, I'll let you in
Say wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?

Here she comes, she's coming around again
Here she comes, she's coming around again
Here she comes, she's coming around again
Here she comes, she's coming again

Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
I said wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?

Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute

Hey girl, can you show me, girl? Can you show me to the party?
Can you show me to the party? Can you show me to the party?

. . .


You don't want me, no
You don't need me
Like I want you, oh
Like I need you

And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life

You can't see me, no
Like I see you
I can't have you, no
Like you have me

And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life

You can't feel me, no
Like I feel you
I can't steal you, no
Like you stole me

And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life
