Ha ha ha!!!Wake up in the darkThe aftertaste of anger in the back of my mouthSpit it on the wallAnd cough some moreAnd scrape my skin with razor bladesAnd make up in the new bloodAnd try to look so goodFollow me!Make up in the new bloodAnd follow me to where the real fun isHa ha ha!!! As stale and selfish as a sick dogSpurning sex like an animal of godI'll tear your red hair by the rootsAnd hold you blazingHold you cherished in the dead electric light Your faceI'll never see you this way againI captured it so perfectlyAs if I knew you'd disappear away Shake dog shake You hit me againYou howl and hit me againThe same sharp painWakes me in the darkAnd cuts me from my throat to my pounding heartMy heartMy shaking heart Shake dog shake But we slept all night in the virgin's bedAnd dreamed of deathAnd breathed like sick dogsWe slept all night in the virgin's bedAnd breathed like deathAnd dreamed of sick dogs Shake dog shake Wake up wake up wake up!Shake dog shakeWake up wake up wake up!Shake dog shake Wake up in the new bloodMake up in the new bloodShake up in the new bloodAnd follow me to where the real fun is... Shake dog shake

This girl has got a smileThat can make me cryThis girl just burns with loveShe's burning burning deep inside Nighttime nighttimeSets my house on fireI'll turn into the melting manI'll lose my lifeTo feel I feel desire Oh I should feelLike a polar bear...It's impossible She flies outside this cageSinging girlmad wordsI keep her dark thoughts deep insideAs black as stoneAnd mad as birds Wild wild wildAnd never turn awaySends me all her loveShe sends me everythingShe sends me everywhere Oh I could beA polar bear...But it's impossible I try to talkThe sky goes redI forgetSo fill in my headWith some of thisSome of thatSome of every word she says Oh I should beA polar bear...But it's impossible

The holy city breathedLike a dying manIt moved with hopeful tearsWith the tears of the blind And on and on as the night drew inThrough broken streetsThat sucked me inMy feet were bare and cut with stonesWith walking to the promised land I pushed through crowdsThrough seas of prayerThrough twisting hands and choking airA vulture at the wailing wallI circled...Waiting...

Get away from meGet your fingers out of my faceThis room's so hotThis room's so hot I break the walls Get away from meLeave me aloneLike the pig on the stairsHangingIn a groovy purple shirt Gasping for airI'm gasping for airI'm gasping for loveI'm gasping for air... Slit the cats like cheeseThen eat the sweet sticky thingsSuck harder!Suck harder!Suck your insidesInsides out! Blood thick swimming round your feetAs you're chokingChokingChoking on the fleshy words Give me it give me it give me itDeaden my glassy mindGive me it give me itMake me blindOne step back and one step downAnd slip the needles in my side... My head is coldMy hands are coldMy heart is coldMy heart is blackAnd stops every fucking nightEvery nightI wait until it stops... Sing birds sing birds sing birds singGet away...

Shapes in the drink like ChristCracks in the pale blue wallI'm walking slowly and quickly butAlways awayTwisting twisting to the floor Flowers in your mouth and the same dry songThe routine from laughter landSixteen white legs and a row of teethThey watch you in secrecy You're dying for the hope is goneFrom here we go nowhere againI'm trapped in my face and I'm changingToo muchI can't climb out the way I fell in Jump with meFor that old forgotten danceThe midnight sun will burn you upYour life is coldYour life is hardYour life is too much for words These occasions are such a reliefAnother point another view to sendHey hey hey!We start to talkAnd it's all so safe...I feed you in my dreams Footsteps on a wireHigh above my headThe stain reveals my real intentionI'm the waiting beastI'm the twisted nerveAs I danceDance back to the body in my bed Look at the piggyPiggy in the mirror

As stiff as toysAnd tall as menAnd swaying like the wind torn treesShe talked about the empty worldWith eyes like poisoned birds She talked about the armiesThat marched inside her headAnd how they made her dreams go badBut oh!How happy she was!How proud she was!To be fighting in the warIn the empty world!
