I sit alone in my bedroomStaring at the wallsI've been up all damn night longMy pulse is speedingMy heart is yearning
I hold my breath and close my eyesAnd dream about her'Cause she's 2000 light years awayShe holds my malachite so tight soNever let go'Cause she's 2000 light years awayYears away
I sit outside and watch the sunriseLook out as far as I canI can't see her but in the distanceI hear some laughterWe laugh together
I hold my breath and close my eyesAnd dream about her'Cause she's 2000 light years awayShe holds my malachite so tight soNever let go'Cause she's 2000 light years awayYears away
I sit alone in my bedroomStaring at the wallsI've been up all damn night longMy pulse is speedingMy heart is yearning

Dear mother, can you hear me whinin'?It's been three whole weeks since I have left your homeThis sudden fear has left me tremblin''Cause now it seems that I am out here on my ownAnd I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homesSome call it slum, some call it niceI want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my homeWelcome to Paradise
A gunshot rings out at the stationAnother urchin snaps and left dead on his ownIt makes me wonder why I'm still hereFor some strange reason, it's still now feeling like my homeand I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homesSome call it slum, some call it niceI want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my homeWelcome to Paradise

Staring out of my windowWatching the cars go rolling byMy friends are goneI've got nothing to doSo I sit here patientlyWatching the clock tick so slowlyGotta get awayOr my brains will explode
Give me something to do to kill some timeTake me to that place that I call homeTake away the strains of being lonelyTake me to the tracks at Christie Road
See the hills from afarStanding on my beat up carThe sun went downAnd the night fills the skyNow I feel like me once againAs the train comes rolling inSmoked my boredom goneSlapped my brains up so high
Mother stay out of my wayOf that place we goWe'll always seem to find our wayTo Christie Road
If there's one thing that I needThat makes me feel completeSo I go to Christie RoadIt's home.

I wonder down these streets all by myselfThink of my future nowI just don't knowI don't seem to careI stop to notice thatI'm by your homeI wonder if you're sitting all aloneOr is your boyfriend there
Because I feel so rightLet my imagination goUntil you're in my sightAnd through my veins temptation flows
So I sit down here on the hard concreteThink of my future nowI just don't knowI don't seem to care So I sit across the street from your homeI wonder if you're sitting all aloneOr is your boyfriend there

I want to be your dominated love slaveI want to be the one that takes the painYou can spank me when I do not behaveSmack me in the forehead with a chain
'Cause I love feelin' dirtyAnd I love feelin' cheapAnd I love it when you hurt meSo drive those staples deep
I want you to slap me and call me naughtyPut a beltsander against my skinI want to feel pain all over my bodyCan't wait to be punished for my sins.

When I was younger, I thought that the world circled around meBut in time, I realized I was so wrongMy immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead futureIt was a tragic case of my reality
Do you think you're indestructibleAnd no one can touch you?Well, I think you're disposableAnd it's time you knew the truth
'Cause it's just one of my liesWell, it's just one of my liesAnd all I wanna do is get real highWell, it's just one of my lies
Why does my life have to be so small? Yet death is foreverAnd does forever have a life to call its own?Don't give me an answer 'cause you only know as much as I knowUnless you're been there once. Well, I hardly think so
Do you think you're indestructibleAnd no one can touch you?Well, I think you're disposableAnd it's time you knew the truth
'Cause it's just one of my liesWell, it's just one of my liesAnd all I wanna do is get real highWell, it's just one of my lies
I used to pray at nightBefore I lay myself downMy mother said it was rightHer mother said it tooWhy?

My mental stability reaches its bitter endAnd all my senses are coming ungluedIs there any cure for this disease - someone called "love"?Not as long as there are girls like you
Everything she does questions my mental healthIt makes me lose control; I just can't trust myself
If anyone can hear me, slap some sense in meBut you turn your head and I end up talking to myselfAnxiety has got me strung out and frustratedSo I lose my head or I bang it up against the wall
Sometimes, I wonder if I should be left aloneAnd lock myself up in a padded roomI'd sit and spew my guts out to the open airNo one wants to hear a drunken fool
I do not mind if this goes on'Cause now, it seems, I'm too far goneI must admit I enjoy myself80 please keep taking me away

Hey old man in woman's shoesI wonder if he knows I think he's crazyWhen he was young did he have dreams of wearing woman's shoesAnd being crazy
It makes me wonder whenI grow to be that ageWill I be walking down the streetBegging for your spare change
Or will I grow that old?Will I still be around?The way I carry on I'll end upSix feet underground and waste away...
When the old man was in schoolDid the golden rule make him go crazy?Or did he hide away from hopesBehind a smile and smoking dopeIt's crazy
It seems so frighteningTime passes by like lightningBefore you know you're struck downI always waste my time onMy chemical emotionsIt keeps my head spinning around.

Why should my fun have to end?For me, it's only the beginningI see my friends begin to ageA short countdown to their end
Call me irresponsibleCall me habitualBut when you think of meDo you fill your head which schemes?Better think again'Cause no one knows
I don't want to cause no harmBut sometimes my actions hurtIs there something I should findTo make plans for forever?
Call me irresponsibleCall me habitualBut when you think of meDo you fill your head which schemes?Better think again'Cause no one knows
Call me irresponsibleCall me habitualBut when you think of me (Does it seem like all your memories fade?)Do you fill your head which schemes? (You soak up knowledge to fill the space)Better think again (And still my answer remains...)'Cause no one knows (I don't know)
