I wasn’t in it for the music I was in it for the drugs Wanted to follow My old man’s footsteps And recreate The summer of love Wanted to taste that bitter sizzle Of the pills underneath my tongue And feel that unreal electricity In a stranger’s hug Needed to get more than just acquainted [...]

The world keeps spinning And you’re stood still Everyone’s gone into remission And you’re just getting ill Keep the past in jars On the windowsill Just staring and glaring Around and distilled A thousand bad habits You’re trying to kill A thousand coping methods That just make you feel Your birthday tomorrow Spent the eve [...]

He’s the type to throw beige paint On a parrot Sees gold until he has it Bold grows old Then he’s bolting like the rabbit And nowadays she’s old pick About as special As pearls in front of pigs She’s just the butt of his sex jokes That get the boys rolling Hooting with the [...]

Is this even the kind of thing you dream of? I can’t picture such sentimentality But I also can’t imagine you Planning anything with rationality Now calamity, that’s more your speciality And if we’re talking confession You was special to me I felt so old when I was young Desperate to get a move on [...]

I just keep giving; and I’m giving out of love But how can you ever know if you’re giving enough? Who knows, I’m just giving out the love Maybe that’s the problem, no tariff on the stuff I didn’t expect exchange, was happy just on love Adored every hard edge clashing with the inner fluff [...]

I think about the past a lot Because I know what happened I don’t need to wish for better It’s exactly where it belongs I still exist in the present And find future plots Downward spiral leads with charge And again I trot lost I can’t promise it’ll come Can’t swear I’ll get what I [...]

This is no world for a child Can’t you see the dangers? Keep them safe from the blaze That’s been igniting for ages I know your belly yearns Your heart holds space for the babe But this is no world for a child And a child ain’t ready for that pain But isn’t that the [...]
