All Night Long

Some folks live to dish out pain
A woman's touch does just the same
Let the hurt grow stronger all night long
Streetlight burning in the dead of night
We rise up to the dizzyin' heights
And we keep getting higher all night long
I don't care about your crucifix
I don't care about your war
I don't care about your loneliness
Or what you're here for
Create crazy patterns on your sheets
Stroke my chest so soft and sweet
You sing a song just for me all night long
I don't know if it's a matter of fact
But love is war with a different attack
Let me be a rival for you all night long
I don't care about your emptiness
Or what you keep behind your doors
All I care about is your bitterness
And what's in store
Some folks live to dish out pain
A woman's touch does just the same
Let the hurt grow stronger all night long
I've been glaring at the clock
She's still shaking from the aftershocks
And the waves keep rollin' all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

I've been sitting here
For quite awhile
I don't cry, babe
That ain't my style
A broken heart can make it alone
Maybe I should just stay home
I've been tossed
I've been turned
I've been beaten
I've been burned
Danger lurks wherever you roam
Maybe I should just stay home
When everybody's happiness surrounds you
To where do you run away?
Living in the shadows
Hiding day-to-day
Some say no
Some say yes
Others just do as the Bible says
The laws we broke were set in stone
Maybe I should just stay home
When trouble wants to track you down
Where do you go from there?
Running 'round in circles
Won't get you nowhere
I've had my drink
It's half passed two
I'll have a few more
then bid you adieu
danger lurks wherever you roam
Maybe I should just stay home

It’s a grave digger sort of day
My head is swimming in a clearer sort of way
I’m riding in my fright
Driving heavy in a disembodied bite
Hey Mr. Von Trier,
You’ve got a story that I think I wanna hear
And if you tell it right
You’ll turn me into a villain overnight
I was always running down the same roads
Only ever taking different paths
Now I run in circles
It only hurts when I laugh
I need a brand new drug
Put me on a non-returning flight to India
Renounce possession and pride,
Become a Savite, work for Karma, and then die
Well the ugly man’s here
He makes a killing frowning at me from the mirror
I can’t stand the sight,
People tell me that we look a lot alike
Well he said he’s a wreck, and I’m willing to bet
He’d rather die than have to live in the past
And my barrel’s smoking
It only hurts when I laugh
Friend, don’t come near me,
I’ve got a fatally contagious mutiny
You lock the windows and doors,
I’ll burn the place down from the ceiling to the floor
And the pretty eyes will make you feel alive
Then have you slaughtered in the aftermath
And my wounds are open
It only hurts when I laugh
And the martyrs, lost
Jesus wished his cross was a made up, metaphorical staff
And I ain’t much for praying
It only hurts when I laugh

It'd take a thousand mirrors to see the ugliness in you
It'd take a thousand years to make me see it too
And I'm just here alone listening to the rain
No one wants to see me, no one wants to know my name
You're much to busy socializing, tending to your wealth
I'm much to busy sulking, feeling sorry for myself
And I'd tell you what I'm thinking if I weren't so ashamed
No one wants to see me, no one wants to know my name
I've got a writer's voice, I've got a singer's heart
I fit the job description but I never get the part
And I see you dancing through the window, driving me insane
No one wants to see me, no one wants to know my name
I took those words you gave me, I threw them in this song
I'd like to get to know ya but true love takes too damn long
And it gets a little crazy, some might say
No one wants to see me, no one wants to know my name
No one wants to see me, no one wants to know my name
No one wants to see me, no one wants to know my name

Love Gods

Come down to the river darling
Feel the Christ in me
Let the running wild spirit guide you
And set you free
Let’s do something holy
Let’s make a scene
We could be love gods
You and me
Temptations all around you
Strike fear in thee
Give in don’t be afraid
Feel your soul’s release
Kamadeva and Krishna
Got nothing on me
We could be love gods
Eternally
Myths are stories
This is the real thing
We could be love gods
You and me
Let's raise some Hell
For all Heaven to see
We could be love gods
Eternally

Independence Day

Darling, she said
My love has gone dead
On that fourth of July
I begged her to stay
She turned, walked away
I grabbed me a drink and I started to cry
I followed her down
To a house across town
On that fourth of July
Before they could run
I went for my gun
Put four in her chest
And put one in his eye
Oh whoa, save my soul
Run with the Devil below
Oh whoa, save my soul
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more
I ran to my car
And drove off afar
On that fourth of July
I crossed the state lines
Red and blue lights behind
Those pigs chased me down
For my terrible crime
The policeman said son
Please give me your gun
On that fourth of July
Drew the knife from my coat
Cut open his throat
Shoved him to the dirt and I
Left him to die
Oh whoa, save my soul
Run with the Devil below
Oh whoa, save my soul
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more
I found a new place
Changed my name and my face
on that fourth of July
Soon the winter came
And still no one to blame
For the three lives lost
From my anger and pride
Now the days have turned to years
And I haven't shed a tear
Since that fourth of July
I'm still on the run
And I have a new gun
For the next girl who tricks me
And cheats me
And lies
Oh whoa, save my soul
Run with the Devil below
Oh whoa, save my soul
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more
Oh whoa, save my soul
Run with the Devil below
Oh whoa, save my soul
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more
Gave it all up, God don't want me
No more

Pretty little girl
Won't you sing this song?
On my way, won't take long
Roll on

Sooner or later
We'll all be gone
Can't tell between right or wrong
Roll on

Standing in place
Where we don't belong
Say it proud and say it strong
Roll on
Roll on

Sooner or later
We'll all be gone
Can't tell between right or wrong

Like a Ghost

Like a ghost, I'm coming
Don't even gotta let me in
Like a ghost, I'm coming
Don't even gotta let me in
You know that I would sell my soul
Just to walk the world with you
Forever more
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
Like a ghost, I'm flying
Baby I'm as light as air
Like a ghost, I'm flying
Baby I'm as light as air
I only wanna let you know
I wanna take you over,
Be your live-in soul
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
Like a ghost, you'll see me
Disappear before your eyes
Like a ghost, you'll see me
Disappear before your eyes
This apparition that you hold
Looks a lot like me
But he's so damn cold
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
Like a ghost

A broken heart can make it alone
Wander blind through the unknown
And soon someday, you’ll find it’s miles away
A broken heart can make it alone
I don’t care what you have to say
I stopped listening anyway
When you stole my part
And sent me back to the start
Don’t look now I’m feeling my way
I’m gonna wait
And watch your kingdom crumble away
And when you lose your solid ground
And the rumbling brings you down
I’ll be there to catch the look on your face
Tell me about your cardinal sin
And the unholy mess you’re in
Did it hurt your wings
When you remember such things?
A loving god would always let you win
I’m gonna wait
And watch your kingdom crumble away
And when you lose your solid ground
And the rumbling brings you down
I’ll be there to catch the look on your face
Salome was speaking your name
She was mighty impressed, so they claimed
When you danced in white
To their minds delight
They degraded you back into your place
I’m gonna wait
And watch your kingdom crumble away
And when you lose your solid ground
And the rumbling brings you down
I’ll be there to catch the look on your face
I’m gonna wait
And watch your kingdom crumble away
And when you lose your solid ground
And the rumbling brings you down
I’ll be there to catch the look on your face

Saving Light
04:16
|

|
I laid down my head to pray
I said take my soul, I'm leaving today
Then the cloud's burst open, what a sight
Now I'm standing in the ray of a saving light
Come on everybody, look at me
I had to buy the halo, but the wings were free
And all the lay-ladies say hey, what a sight
Now I'm standing in the ray of a saving light
I'm standing in the ray of a saving light
Standing in the ray of a saving light
If you wanna get to Heaven
Baby, hold on tight
The neon cross will show you the way
Give to me your suffering, I'll throw it away
At one time all I did was spit and fight
Now I'm standing in the ray of a saving light
I'm standing in the ray of a saving light
Standing in the ray of a saving light
Confess to me your sins
And babe we'll pray all night

You've Got Me Smoking
04:48
|
|||
|
You've got me smoking
And drinking
And thinking of you
The number one killer
Of this silver medal man
Trying hard to hold him
Like a book between your hands
You've got me hoping
And cringing
And singing the blues
The windows got shattered
When you broke through my doors
You tore up my body
And you threw me to the floor
Just leave me alone
That's what you like to do
Don't turn me to stone
That's all I ask of you
I'm trying Lord
It's as best as I can do
You've got me smoking
And drinking
And you've got me thinking of you
I ain't for sulking
Or waiting
Or for taking more than I need
The diamonds on your face
Shine as dull as my own
It's sweet segregation/
With a broken bone
There's no use talking
Or praying
Or saying words we don't mean
We thought forever
Was a light switch away
When the nightmare is real
You never want to stay awake
Lay down and die
That's all I ever hear from you
I'm saying goodbye
That's all you ever do
Staying high is all I need
To see me through
You've got me smoking
And drinking
And you've got me thinking of you
Just leave me alone
That's what you like to do
Don't turn me to stone
That's all I ask of you
Staying high is all I need
To see me through
You've got me smoking
And drinking
And you've got me thinking of you
