Sticky Fingers

They came for your courage
they came for the truth
but did they really come for you
well the mess that you made
was it me that you blamed?
Cuz you still don't rmember my name
the lies that you said
eat away at your head
something natural was shed
well the mass that was made
was it you that you blamed?
And I don't remember your name
One shot for ya honey
two shots for some more
come on sticky fingers, you got stuck to the door
well I got some news for you
you can try to find the truth
but you still won't rmember my name
And it's one shot for the money
two shots for the door
come on sticky fingers, did you try to take some more
well I got some news for you
and that's a bitter fruit to claim
cuz you still don't remember my name
well it's one shot for ya honey
2, 3, 4,
come on sticky fingers
try and stick to the floor
I got some news for you
you don't know why I came
cuz you still don't remember my name
no, you still don't rmemer my

Left or Right

Excuse me sir what you stopping me for
Been here a hundred times for sure
Got a clean registration and a clean plate
I even left early so I wouldn’t be late
Running circles, dodging fines
But you gotta keep me behind
I did it all right, everything is clear but you’re still here
Is it a crime to be out at night
Am I too close to the left or right
Is it the color of my car, my skin, my hair
Or do you get paid enough not to care?
Are you upset cuz’ the world got you down
D’you realize it’s not revolving around
Your ideas your thoughts and your mind
Now what exactly is my crime?
Running circles, dodging fines
But you gotta keep me behind
I did it all right, everything is clear but you’re still here
Excuse me sir, please step aside
You’re not about to take me for a ride
I know my rights, I’m not afraid of a fight
So let’s end this scene tonight
(Outro – Vocal adlib)

Counterfeit Soul

Step right up
I'm the one you wanna see
Look at me, look at me
but don't look too closely
I can be anyone, I can do what you please
If you must waste your time, you should waste it on me
I always say, always say
What I think you wanna hear
But if you look hard enough, you will find nothing there
I never lie, but you know that the truth is never clear
So come and hide, join my ride, it's scary
You can look, you can touch
you can tell all your friends
I never said I was more than a means to an end
But don't you like company, you know everyone does
It's not about who you are, but what you can give up
Did you give at the door?
Then it's your fault I want more
Nothing left? That's okay
I just need that clear slate
to store my facade, you've become my new god
another counterfeit soul just like me

Down to the Bottom
03:03

I took the road less traveled, goddamnit, I'm lost
When I talked to the devil, he said he'd help me at a cost
Down a bit further, and there she would be
a friend of the devil has always been a friend to me
and I went down down down to the bottom
She's a beauty, a demon, and Satan's charm for sure
The sheets became an endless night the night that I met her
A princess, her and me, dark souls matched perfectly
She was my escape, she was everything I need
And we went down down down to the bottom
This was the beginning and also was the end
Myself, the devil and of course our new friend
She was my dream and my nightmare, I would come undone
I'm not alone, but chilled to the bone, trapped in this for the long run
And we went down down down to the bottom

Satan's Circle (U.M.)
05:04

Well I been round again,
hopin you're holdin on to faith, like your friends
They're all drinking, talking circles, praising satan, hoping worth in everyone will be the same
And I've been up – and youve been seen
When the circle calls it quits
Hopin you can find and sift
through all the things that you don't know
But you'll never let him go, God it means, god it means so much to me
When they come ramblin in gamblin men
they always stumble in with one foot in front of the other
holding on to --- the drinks they pray to
...and the preachers coming back, holding on drinks
he's done it all before – trying to just be the man of god
his father wanted him to be – but he don't know
Well the river flows up stream, fish swim in opposite, oh
you're thinking of me while the moon is singing to the sun
and you always run, you always try to hide, the hide and seek
the men who are playing in your mind … who we don't want Sto be
anything like me
so run and hide we've come to find the only thing that
satisfies the urge is drinking wine, come and find the cocaine line
that's lying on the floor... it's yours
you're just like me, you're just like him
you're swinging round with all your friends
swinging round in rosy pocket full of cozy men in medicine
youre gonna be just all of them
The wooden floors, the spinal tours the fingetips that can't ignore
the truth behind the skin that lies, the solitude the chaliced mind I know
you'll never let me go
you just wanna be just like the preacher and the god he finally knows
their bitter sighs, the biting tongues, twisted words, their empty lungs
their words into the skies, all their needs that finally bite into you
it'll never let me go
youre just like them, you want kind men
and you just preach to all
bitter mind, they never find, the same old words that never come, over and over and over and again
over and over again!

A Little Song

Today I...
Took a little walk
did a little think
had a little thought
sipped a little drink
took at little look
at the little space
that separates me from you in your privileged place
Why...
Do you undervalue my kind?
You...
Are gonna get a second helping of my mind
I...
took a little swing
with my little fist
felt a little shock
in my little wrist
don't look so surprised
at this little twist
maybe I just felt a little power shift
Why...
Do you undervalue my mind
You...
are gonna get a second helping
something you should be expecting
after all that's been infected by your kind

Once Again
02:39

They say that you should try
and try again
but I, can't seem to find
A way to try I understand
And so I lose it once again
my friend
I'm right back where it all began
They told me not to quit
and do the work
if I can fix what I don't shirk
But this is driving me berserk
And so I choose it once again
my friend
This never-ending circle that I'm in
So I lose it once again

The End
03:04
|
|
||
|
I can wait by my window
and watch my reflection decay
wondering where do we go
and why we seem to be the only thing that doesn't stay
why do the rules
set in stone by some unknown
get to own posterity
while we fall like the leaves from a tree
And I'm wondering why don't we know
why we always seem to be the ones who never have a say
Look to the sky I'll strike you blind
but close your eyes and you'll never find
what am I looking at I don't know
Just follow the path till you go
Open your eyes when you dream at night
But when you awake you will know
that it's frivilous to think theres time to pretend
that there's more to life after the end
la da da da la da da...
