I'm always wanting moreAnything I haven't gotEverythingI want it allI just can't stopPlanning all my days awayBut never finding ways to stayOr ever feel enough todayTomorrow must be moreDrink more dreams more bed more drugsMore lust more lies more head more loveMore fear more fun more pain more fleshMore stars more smiles more fame more sex
But however hard I wantI know deep down insideI'll never really get more hopeOr any more timeAny more timeAny more timeAny more time
I want the sky to fall inI want lightning and thunderI want blood instead of rainI want the world to make me wonderI want to walk on waterTake a trip to the moonGive me all this and give me it soonMore drink more dreams more drugsMore lust more lies more love
But however hard I wantI know deep down insideI'll never really get more hopeOr any more timeAny more timeAny more timeAny more time

I ride into your town on a big black trojan horseI'm looking to have some funSome kind of trigger-happy intercourse'Club America salutes you,' says the girl on the door'We accept all major liesWe love any kind of fraudSo go on in and enjoy...Go on in and enjoy!!!'
I'm buying for my bright new friendsBlue Suzannes all roundAnd my mood is heavily pregnant...Yeah you're rightI couldn't help but notice your icy blue eyesThey've been burning two holes in the sides of my headSince the second I arrived

So we talk for a while about some band you saw on TVBut I don't listen to you and you don't listen to meYeah it's an old routine but it's a very special part of the gameAnd you don't really care what I call you at allWhen I can't quite remember your name

How each of us decidesI've never been sureThe part we playThe way we areHow each of us denies any other way in the worldWhy each of us must chooseI've never understoodOne special friendOne true loveWhy each of us must lose everyone else in the world
However unsureHowever unwiseDay after day play out our livesHowever confusedPretending to know to the end
But this isn't truth this isn't rightThis isn't love this isn't life this isn't realThis is a lie
How each of us believesI've never really knownIn heaven unseen and hell unknownHow each of us dreams to understand anything at allWhy each of us decidesI've never been sureThe part we takeThe way we areWhy each of us denies every other way in the world
However unsureHowever unwiseDay after day play out our livesHowever confusedPretending to know to the end
But this isn't truth this isn't rightThis isn't love this isn't life this isn't realThis is a lieThis isn't truth this isn't rightThis isn't love this isn't life this isn't realThis is a lie

'Everyone feels good in the room,' she swings'Two chord cool in the head,' she sings'A-buzz a-buzz a-buzzing like them killer bees...'Tell me this is not for realPlease simply this is not for real...
From time to time her eyes get wideAnd she's always got them stuck on meI'm surprised at how hot honey-colored and hungry she looksAnd I have to turn away to keep from burstingYeah I feel that good
She slips from the stageA foot no moreBut it seems to take an hour for her to reach the floorAnd the two chord cool still groovesAs she slides towards me smooth as a snakeI can't swallow I just start to shakeAnd I just know this is a big mistakeYeah but it feels good!
Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me!Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me!
'If you want I can take you on another kind of ride...''Believe me I would but...'Deep inside the 'but' is 'please'I am yearning for another tasteAnd my shaking is 'yes'
'You will be all the things in the world you've never beenSee all the things in the world you've never seenDream all the things in the world you've never dreamed...'But I think I get a bit confusedAm I seducing or being seduced?
Oh I know that tomorrow I'll feel badBut I really couldn't care about thatShe's grinning, singing, spinning me round and roundSmiling as I start to fallHer face gets big, her face gets smallIt's like tonight I'm really not me at allAnd it feels good!
Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me!Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me!
It feels good!

It started with a dedication'Lost in admiration - happy birthday - I'm forever yours - Blossom'Faded red inside a tiny book of butterfliesI smiled surprised at how when flickered throughThe wings flew by spelled out my name...
Six months went by the summer lostObsessively the letters dropped into my lifeThe same soft blood smooth flowing hand'Please try to understand - I have to see you - have to feel you -Tell you all the ways I need you - yours forever in love...'
Strange attraction spreads its wingsIt varies but the smallest thingsYou never know how anything will changeStrange attraction spreads its wingsAnd alters but the smallest thingsYou never know how anything will fade
The year grew old incessantly she wrote to meShe'd started smoking poetry!I laughed in recognition of a favourite phraseShe'd pulled me in...I answered herA Christmas card in sepiaArranging when and whereAnd how the two of us should meet...
Her opening so well preparedA nervous smileI couldn't take my eyes from herShe whispered,'Can I use some of your lipstick?'It was perfect so believableI couldn't help but feel that it was realAnd kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms...
Strange attraction spreads its wingsIt varies but the smallest thingsYou never know how anything will changeStrange attraction spreads its wingsAnd alters but the smallest thingsYou never know how anything will fade
So alone into the cold new year without another word from herI wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the springBut weeks went by with no reply until once more my birthday cameAnd with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same...
'I'm sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination -I was sure you'd be the one but I was wrong -It seems reality destroys our dreams - I won't forget you - Blossom'Faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes...
Strange attraction spreads its wingsIt varies but the smallest thingsYou never know how anything will changeStrange attraction spreads its wingsAnd alters but the smallest thingsAnd you never know...

She follows me down to the sound of the seaSlips to the sand and stares up at me'Is this how it happens? Is this how it feels?Is this how a star falls? Is this how a star falls?'
The night turns as I try to explainIrresistible attraction and orbital plane'Or maybe it's more like a moth to a flame,'She brushes my face with her smile'Forget about stars for a while!'
She melts...
Meanwhile millions of miles away in spaceThe incoming comet brushes Jupiter's faceAnd disappears away with barely a trace...
'Was that it? Was that the Jupiter show?It kinda wasn't quite what I'd hoped for, you know'Pulling away she stands up slowAround her the night turnsAround her the night turns
Yeah, yeah, yeah that was itThat was the Jupiter crashDrawn too close and gone in a flashJust a few bruises in the region of the splash...
She left to the sound of the seaShe just drifted away from meYeah so much for gravity!

Round and round and round and round and round we goTrying so hard to get ahold of everyone hereWe've got to show how much we love them allWe squeak with idiot fake surpriseFlap our hands and flutter our eyesAnd lap up all their stupid liesWe've got to love them all
And I really don't know why we do it like thisImitation smiles and how 'it's wonderful to be here!'I'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss
So round and round and round and round and round we goHanging on every shape they throwIt's strange the way we can't say noUntil we love them all...
So we laugh at every stupid jokeAnd smoke and choke and point and pokeAnd gag on countless lines...How much we love them all!
And I really don't know why we do it like thisImitation smiles and how 'it's wonderful to be here!'I'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss
Maybe it's the sex with the drugs and the foolsOr maybe it's the promise of belief?Maybe it's the pleasure and the pain of the cruelOr maybe it's the promise of relief?And I know that we've said it so many times beforeOnce more and never againBut however many times that we've said it beforeOnce more is never the end...

Yeah this is how it endsAfter all these yearsTired of it allHopelessly helplessly broken apartHe finally fallsHe doesn't want to thinkDoesn't want to feelDoesn't want to know what's going onSays there's nothing he can do will change anythingHe doesn't want to know what's going wrongBecause he's in love with a drugOne that makes him numbOne that stops him feeling at allHe's in love with a drugForget everyoneHe really doesn't care anymoreAnymore...
Yeah this is how it endsAfter all this timeEverything just fades awayWorn-out and empty and all aloneWith nothing left to sayOh it's all too big to make a differenceIt's all too wrong to make it rightYeah everything is too unfairEverything too much to bearHe doesn't have the strength left for the fightSays all he wants is the drugThe one that makes him numbThe one that stops him feeling at allHe just wants to take the drugForget everyoneHe doesn't want to care anymoreJust keeps loving the drugThe one that makes him numbThe one that stops him feeling at allJust keeps loving the drugThe drug that he's becomeHe isn't really here anymore...
And that makes me cry
