Dirty Sticky Floors
Waiting for the last time
For my friend to change my mind
Waiting for the last drop
Seems like a long long time
Maybe I should go back home
I'll sit and wait right by the phone
Praying over the porcelain throne
On my dirty sticky floor
Ask me what I want
Easy that's just more
How long will I wait for you
Twice as long as I did before
Standing in the freezing snow
Maybe you left I just don't know
I'll soon be lying on my own
On some dirty sticky floor
I hope no one can see me
The tin man says I'm doing fine
That lion ain't gonna get me
See that gun right there it's mine
I've painted a face where I burnt the floor
Now the face has become my devil's door
Laying in the back room
On my dirty sticky floor
On my dirty sticky
Hold On
You keep sending me all these things
I'm learning how to smile
You keep sending me all these things
I think I'll stay awhile
Tried to talk to you in my dream
You looked at me and smiled
Your smile said to me
I'll have to wait awhile
I have to wait awhile
Hold on
You opened my eyes today
Hold on
Another surprise
You keep giving me all these things
I see them in your smile
You keep giving me all these things
I think I'll stay awhile
I guess I'll stay awhile
Hold on
You opened my eyes today
Hold on
Another surprise
Hold on
Hold on
You opened my eyes
Hold on
Another surprise
Hold on
You opened my eyes today
Hold on
Another surprise
A Little Piece
All alone and bitter
All alone and (---)
All alone with someone
And I should be so glad
All alone and twisted
All alone and (---)
Won't you come and (---)
I really feel quite sad
A little piece of you
A little piece of me
A little piece I've got
It's what you gave to me
And all my wishes
Have come true
I know without a doubt
When I look at you
When I trust in you
If you can trust in me
Maybe someday we can all be free
A little piece of you
A little piece of me
A little piece I've got
It's what you gave to me
Is what you gave to me
Bottle Living
He's like a king without a crown
He wears it like a clown
Watch him disappear
I wish he would come down
So call before you drown
I won' t always be around
Living for the bottle
He's living for the bottle
He's a ship without a sail
He's not listening when you speak
Living for the bottle
He'll be sitting there all week
So call before you drown
I won't always be around
Living for the bottle
He's living for the bottle
Yeah
There's no light on in his eyes
How heavy are the lies
Just jump right out his skin
He'll take you for a ride
Living for the bottle
He's living for the bottle
So call before you drown
I won't always be around
A dog without a bite
Still looking for a fight
All in black
He won't be home tonight
Yeah
There's no light on in his eyes
How heavy are the lies
Just jump right out his skin
He'll take you for a ride
Living for the bottle
He's living for the bottle
I won't always be around
So call before you drown
Black and Blue Again
I'm back in the room with the two-way door
I don't know where it is, I sure been there before
The thoughts in my head, I just can't describe
They're just too insane, and they're all outside
All my apologies, they've been used up
All my words, they're not enough
I'm asking you on my knees
To look inside me
I'm black and blue again
I'm black and blue again
Do you remember we were such good friends
And now we're back in the ring fighting again
The taste that's in my mouth
You see it's not very nice
Screaming at you
There's tears in your eyes
All my apologies, they've been used up
All my words, they're not enough
I'm asking you on my knees
To look inside me
I'm black and blue again
I'm black and blue again
I'm not very nice
You said I'm not very nice
I'm not very nice
You said I'm not very nice
I'm not very nice
You see I'm not very nice
All my apologies, they've been used up
All my words, they're not enough
I'm asking you on my knees
To look inside me
I'm black and blue again
I'm black and blue again
Black and blue again
Black and blue again
I'm not very nice
You know I'm not very nice
You said I'm not very nice
Stay
She's softly breathing next to me
Shining angel sent to me
From where she came it's hard to say
Tiny star, she guides my way
When we were lovers
We both discovered
Stay
You can leave tomorrow
Stay
Wait until tomorrow
Please stay
Living here in shades of grey
Colour she light a reason to stay
From where she came it's hard to say
Tiny star, she guides my way
When we were lovers
We both discovered
Stay
You can leave tomorrow
Stay
Wait until tomorrow
Please stay
I Need You
I need you
I need you
I need you
I'm asking my friend
I need you again
Can you do something for me?
Time, it just past
We had some laughs
Maybe it's just about greed
You'll always need me much more than I need you
You'll always need me much more
You'll always need me much more than I need you
You'll always need me much more
I need you
I'll ask you again but I don't think you've changed
You never did nothing for me
I wonder sometimes if you're looking down
On everything that you see
With all of your gold
Stories all told
Some things just aren't meant to be
You live in the past
Shadows don't last
This time it's all about me
You'll always need me much more than I need you
You'll always need me much more
You'll always need me much more than I need you
You'll always need me much more
I need you
You'll always need me much more than I need you
I need you
You'll always need me much more
I need you
I need you
Bitter Apple
Days long gone and lost hot nights
No crowded streets to walk tonight
Still the stars shine so bright
Don't need a coat, I'll be alright
Then you walked into my life
A halo bright with dark brown eyes
Just standing in her light
Remembered love again at night
Bitter apple, take a bite
(It's kind of wonderful)
Fallen star, you're mine tonight
(Strange but beautiful)
Bitter apple, take my life
(It's kind of wonderful)
If I close my eyes, you're mine tonight
Tonight
We laughed so hard it caused some pain
Two strangers standing in the rain
We smoked our cigarettes
(It's kind of wonderful)
Exchanging our regrets
(Strange but beautiful)
Bitter apple, take a bite
(It's kind of wonderful)
Fallen star, you're mine tonight
(Strange but beautiful)
Bitter apple, take my life
(It's kind of wonderful)
If I close my eyes, you're mine tonight
(Strange but beautiful)
Tonight
If I close my eyes, you're mine tonight
Tonight
If I close my eyes
Hidden Houses
Behind the door
A secret place
A hidden house, you see
A place where you imagine
Just how life could be
And in your head
You've made your bed
You sleep alone you see
The person in the mirror can't be me
And that's alright
You say that's life
It's alright
You saved my life
Hold my hand
Close your eyes
Understand
Behind each man, a frightened lamb
Who hides beneath the sheets
Waiting for a chance to just be free
Behind the masks you try to last another day or week
A perfect life laid in front of me
And that's alright
You say that's life
It's alright
You saved my life
Hold my hand
Close your eyes
Understand
Come with me, let's walk
Close your eyes, let's talk
My love
Goodbye
It isn't very hard to see from where I stand
There's no one to blame
I opened up my eyes to see a world with so much pleasure
Not pain
As she looked into my eyes I knew I might not see her again
We're changing and it's hard for me to stay the same
She answers all the questions
Things I find so very hard to say
As I close my eyes
I heard the whisper "Goodbye"
All these questions that I'm asking
Feel very foolish anyway (Goodbye)
As I turn the corner, I heard her whisper again
(Goodbye)
It's what she said
(Goodbye) It's what she said
(Goodbye) It's what she said
It's what she said
I love her from the first time we kissed
She taste so great
She lit another candle and slowly fell into the flame
She answers all the questions
Things I find so very hard to say
As I close my eyes
I heard her whisper "Goodbye"
All these questions that I'm asking
Feel very foolish anyway (Goodbye)
As I turn the corner, I heard her whisper again
(Goodbye)
It's what she said
(Goodbye) It's what she said
(Goodbye) It's what she said
It's what she said
It's what she said
(Goodbye)
b-sides
Stand Up
You give me untold riches
To which I hatched a plan
I drink myself to death
Just because I can
Gave me many choices
I didn't understand
Crawled across the floor
I knew I couldn't stand
Can't lie to myself this way
I have to stand up and walk away
I can't lie to myself this way
I have to stand up and walk away
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up and walk
Away
Hard to watch you suffer
So hard to feel the pain
But you're wrapped so tight in your one block world
Too scared to make the change
Ask yourself this question
While you're playing with your gun
Is your finger shaking on the trigger
Are you really having fun
I can't lie to myself this way
I have to stand up and walk away
I can't lie to myself this way
I have to stand up and walk away
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up and walk
Away
Stop talking
Try listening
To what I'm trying to say
If you're walking
You're breathing
Maybe you can make a change
You give me untold riches
To which I hatched a plan
I drink myself to death
Just because I can
Now I'm judge and jury
Are you having so much fun
Sitting up there on your throne
I've only just begun
I can't lie to myself this way
I have to stand up and walk away
I can't lie to myself today
I have to stand up and walk away
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up and walk
Away
Maybe
Running around a gigantic tree
Round and round
I can't shake free
Maybe
Looking behind you're much closer to me
The man I fear
He lives inside of me
Maybe
I know I can swim
but what if I drown
I know I can't win
When you're not around
Maybe
Thought you left me when I put her down
I know I can swim
But what if I drown
Maybe
Standing in the middle of a crowded room
Feels like hell
Take me home soon
Maybe
I know I can swim
but what if I drown
I know I can't win
If you're not around
Maybe
Closer
The ocean is creeping in
Closer each day with every sin
Now when did our life begin?
The ocean keeps rolling in
The night is oh so dark
And that dog will howl and bark
And your face is oh so stark
The ocean is creeping in
The ocean is creeping in
Closer each day with every sin
My heart is caving in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
Now another long year has passed
And I don't know how long we'll last
I can hear your distant laughs
And the ocean keeps rolling in
And the sun seems oh so clear
I can hear it's hiss and sneer
My stomach it starts to burn
Oh God let's hope we learn
The ocean is creeping in
With every and every sin
My hearts still caving in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
Stay with me
It's hard to breathe
Lay with me
Please don't leave now
Close your eyes
Don't miss a beat now
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean is creeping in
Closer each day with every sin
Now when did our life begin?
The ocean keeps rolling in
The night is oh so dark
And that dog will howl and bark
And your face is oh so stark
The ocean is creeping in
The ocean is creeping in
Closer each day with every sin
My heart is caving in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
Now another long year has passed
And I don't know how long we'll last
I can hear your distant laughs
And the ocean keeps rolling in
And the sun seems oh so clear
I can hear it's hiss and sneer
My stomach it starts to burn
Oh God let's hope we learn
The ocean is creeping in
With every and every sin
My hearts still caving in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
Stay with me
It's hard to breathe
Lay with me
Please don't leave now
Close your eyes
Don't miss a beat now
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
The ocean keeps rolling in
Breathe
A sudden calm inside of me
Now everything is better
Together in a safe warm place
I remember when I met you
I took your hand
You guided me
Even felt much clever
Bought your love
Soft and white
Just a soft pink letter
Breathe for me
Breathe for me
Breathe for me
We can be together
If you breathe for me
All the trees have lost their leaves
It's hard to lift my eyes
Haven't seen the sun for weeks now
Is it day or night
Can't remember where I met you
Don't know if I'm here
Think I need a little help to
Take away my fear
Breathe for me
Breathe for me
Breathe for me
We can be together
If you breathe for me
Breathe for me
Breathe for me
Breathe for me
Put your hands in my hands
You can bleed for me
Could you breathe for me?
