What Else? 01:51
Uh huh There are beasts beneath your bed as you sleep they'll eat your head I ride around in a hearse drink and scream at the church what else can we do? you try to find your way back home every thing you had is gone truly nothing to choose I am kept by my nurse at night she steals from my purse what else can you do? I drink from teats encased in gold I feed the flesh that is my home truly nothing to do condolences from the church sorry to hear about the purse what else can we do?

DEAD ON THE GROUND you're lying in the streets trying not to move the crowd has circled round they are peering down on you we fall from mighty heights not glancing at the ground a push from above and we topple right down I waited here for you for so long that i could not recall whether I had fallen up or down the flashing of the lights upon this rain drenched streets the bustle of the crowd the stamping of their feet it grinds to a halt we all stop and stare we hold each other tight we hold each other scared I waited here for you for so long that I can not recall why you left but I'll stay and wait for you the cemetery march the sounding of the horns the tears into your sleeve the prayers to our lord we fall from mighty heights not glancing at the ground a push from above and we topple right down and I waited here for you for so long that I cannot recall why you left but I'll stay and wait for you

LIKE ANY STAIN fear it know it hands cover your eyes just to get a break waiting it out heavy and cold when it comes your way still it knows it breathing and all like any stain will it raise it make it your own owning all mistakes drown the drain just being cool in the graveyard acting the fool say it pray it leave it alone just walk away shut up drink up ready or not it's all just cake burn it bleach it bring it back home leave it at the stake take it leave it make up your mind deadpan or fake drown the drain just being cool in the graveyard acting the fool

AS JETS SCREAM we never bothered to ask why as the screaming jets past by easy as it was it was all too much for me we never dreamed of such heights as the flames lit up the sky easy as it was it was all to much for me easy as it was we never bothered to ask why as the screaming jets past by we never dreamed of such heights never dreamed so high

THE WAY IT IS slap goes the hand of lame our pristine drives all look the same now that's the way it is she just wants to be alone keep that jerk off the telephone and that's the way it is as days go by and we still try to own our lack of change he's stoned on his yacht ain't no fear of getting caught and that's the way it is you wanna know about pain everyday is really great that's the way it is as days go by and we still try to own our lack of change

A Nice Drive 03:11
A NICE DRIVE think you feel like we melted off think you want it go on down to the weakest edge think you want it take a leap into soothing fire think you want it can't be bothered to lay it out think you want it have many terrible things to regret pumping deep remorse through my chest you know the scorn with no reward drive the car with headlights off think you want it right by the filthy rivers edge think you want it feel the water raise above your eyes think you want it feel the embrace of an icy kiss think you want it have many terrible things to regret pumping deep remorse through my chest you know the scorn with no reward

this house is a museum where old things go to die my love you'll be drinking from that bucket til you break down and cry my love you best hang onto those riches til the breath escapes your lungs my love and don't forget he graced us all with his love my love can you believe love kills everything can you believe god steered us wrong i forgot the parts and pages of the things i love the most you'll be seeing ghosts of dead unhappy folks my love you'll be seeing ghosts of the ones you hurt the most my love you'll be seeing ghosts of long forgotten dinner hosts my love you'll be seeing ghosts of the ones you loved the most my love can you believe fire cleans everything can you believe god steered us wrong i forgot the parts and pages of the things i love the most and every breath i breath is a reminder of the joke that just won't leave
