A green plastic watering can

For a fake chinese rubber plant

In the fake plastic earth

That she bought from a rubber man

In a town full of rubber plans

To get rid of itself

 

Identify

These tears of mine

Am I lonely or am I just alive?

 

You're trying hard to put me in my place

And that is why I gotta keep running

The future's mine and it's your disgrace

Cause in the end your life means nothing

D'you feel a little down today?

Bet you aint got nothing to say?

Who's gonna miss you when your not there?

You really dont care, you really dont care

 

I never claimed to be your saviour

I said I had a dirty mouth

Stop analysing my behaviour

If you're too dumb to work it out

I've got to keep myself together

You know how I hate to disappoint

A masochistic lamb to slaughter

Maybe you've missed the point

 

I don't wanna be the one

The one who's always left undone

Losing more and more

I'm drained of everything...

I'm falling down...

I'll go see through in the sun saying

It's all right now

 

In my dreams I'm dying all the time

As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind

I never meant to hurt you

I never meant to lie

So this is goodbye

This is goodbye

Tell the truth you never wanted me

Tell me...

 

Cause the love that you gave that we made

Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And everytime you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died,

'Til you died

But you're still alive

And I'm here, to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

 

Fly me to the moon

And let me play among the stars

Let me see what spring is like

On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand

In other words, darling kiss me...

Fill my life with song

And let me sing forevermore

You are all I hope for

All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true

In other words, I love you...

 

You walk along by yourself

There's no sound nothing's changing

They've gone away left you there

Emptiness is nothing you can share

All those words that hurt you, more than you will let it show

Comes apart by yourself

All is well and everything's wasted

 

Somewhere there's speaking

It's already coming in

Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind

You never could get it

Unless you were fed it

Now you're here and you don't know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marks

Past the places where you used to learn

You howl and listen

Listen and wait for the

Echoes of angels who won't return

 

And for the first time

I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for your every move and waking sound

In my time, I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind

You're mine forever now

Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for

 

I'll tell you something

I am a wolf but

I like to wear sheep's clothing

I am a bonfire

I am a vampire

I'm waiting for my moment

You come on like a drug

I just can't get enough

I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more

And there's so much at stake

I can't afford to waste

I've never needed anybody like this before

 

She calls me from the cold

Just when I was low, feeling short of stable

All that she intends

And all she keeps inside, Isn't on the label

She says she's ashamed

And can she take me for a while

And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past

But maybe I'm not able...

And I break at the bend

 

Disarm you with a smile

And leave you like they left me here

To wither in denial

The bitterness of one who's left alone

 

I let the beast in too soon, I don’t know how to live

Without my hand on his throat

I fight him always & still

O darling, it's so sweet, you think you know how crazy

How crazy I am

You say you don’t spook easy, you won’t go, but I know

And I pray that you will

Fast as you can, baby run-free yourself of me

Fast as you can

 

Millionaire say

Got a big shot deal

And thrown it all away but

But I'm not too sure

How I'm supposed to feel

Or what I'm supposed to say

But I'm not, not sure

Not too sure how it feels

To handle every day

And I miss you love

 

I am, I will

So no longer will I lay down, play dead

Play your doe in the headlights, locked down and terrified

Your deer in the headlights, shot down and horrified

 

Like the naked leads the blind

I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind

Sucker love I always find, Someone to bruise and leave behind

All alone in space and time

There's nothing here but what here's mine

Something borrowed, something blue

Every me and every you

Every me and every you

Every Me...he

 

When you left I didn't want you back

But now your gone so won't you come right back

Come right back

Come right back

Come right back

Come right back

Come right back

Why does it hurt?

 

How bout getting off these antibiotics

How bout stopping eating when I'm full up

How bout them transparent dangling carrots

How bout that ever elusive kudo

Thank you India

Thank you terror

Thank you disillusionment

Thank you frailty

Thank you consequence

Thank you, thank you silence

 

Decisions make my mind ache

Want to make a deal

Ease away the problems and the pain

The girl chose the one guy who makes you want to kick and scream

All along, you wish that she would stay

Fuck the guy who took and ran away

 

I used to adore you

I couldn't control you

There was nothing that I wouldn't do to keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion? A mind of your own?

I thought you were special

I thought you should know

But I've run out of patience, I couldn't care less...

 

Please could you stop the noise, I'm tryin' a get some rest

From all the unborn chicken voices in my head

When I am King you will be first against the wall

With your opinions which are of no consequence at all

 

Dearest helpless

Intent's not as bad as the action

Take a breath to distort the fear in your eyes

I don't mean it to hurt

But every time I hate you, I think of you first

 

Out on the porch the fly strip is waving like a flag in the wind

You know I really don't look forward to seeing you again soon

You look like a photograph of yourself taken from far far away

I won't know what to do I won't know what to say

So fuck you, and your untouchable face

Fuck you, for existing in the first place

And who am I, that I should be vying for your touch

Who am I?

Bet you can't even tell me that much...

 

I am milk, I am red hot kitchen

And I am cool, Cool as the deep blue ocean

I am lost, So I am cruel

But I'd be love and sweetness, If I had you

 

Increase, delete, escape, defeat

It's all that matters to you

Cotton case for an iron pill

Distorted eyes, when everything is clearly dying

 

Threw you the obvious

And you flew with it on your back

A name in your recollection down among a million same

Difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed,

And passed over

When I've looked right through to see you naked but oblivious

And you don't see me

 

So far I still know who you are

But now I wonder who I was...

 

She looks like the real thing

She tastes like the real thing

My fake plastic love

But I can't help the feeling

I could blow through the ceiling

If I just turn, and run

And it wears me out, it wears me out

It wears me out,

It wears me out...

And if I could be who you wanted

If I could be who you wanted

All the time,

All the time...
