He drowns in his dreams An exquisite extreme I know He's a damned as he seems More Heaven than a heart could hold
And if I tried to save him My whole world could cave in Just ain't right Just ain't right
Oh and I don't know I don't know what he's after But he's so beautiful He's such a beautiful disaster If I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter Would it be beautiful Or just a beautiful disaster
He's magic and myth As strong as what I believe A tragedy with More damage than a soul should see But do I try to change him So hard not to blame him Hold me tight Baby hold me tight
Chorus
I'm longing for love and the logical But he's only happy hysterical I'm waiting for some kind of miracle Waiting so long Waiting so long
He's soft to the touch But frayed at the ends he breaks He's never enough And still he's more than I can take
Can I get your hand to write on Just a piece of leg to bite on What a nite to fly my kite one Do you want to flash a light on Take a look its on display - for you Coming down no, not today
Did you meet your fortune teller Get it off with no propellor Do it up It's on with Stella What a way to finally smell her Pick it up it's not to strong - for you Take a piece and pass it on
Fly away on my Zephyr I feel it more then ever And in this perfect weather We'll find a place together Fly on my wing
Rebel and a liberator Find a way to be a skater Rev it up to levitate her Super friendly aviator Take a look its on display - for you Coming down no not today
Fly away on my Zephyr I feel it more then ever And in this perfect weather We'll find a place together In the water where I center my emotion All the world can pass me by Fly away on my Zephyr We'll find a place together
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa - do you Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa - won't you Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Fly away on my Zephyr I feel it more then ever And in this perfect weather We'll find a place together
In the water where I center my emotion All the world can pass me by Fly away on my Zephyr We're gonna live forever Forever
I like pleasure spiked with pain And music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane Songbird sweet and sour Jane And music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain That motherfucker's always spiked with pain
Looking in my own eyes hell-o I can't find the love I want Someone better slap me Before I start to rust Before I start to decompose Looking in my rear view mirror Looking in my rear view mirror I can make it disappear I can make it disappear! Have no fear!
I like pleasure spiked with pain And music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane Songbird sweet and sour Jane And music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain That motherfucker's always spiked with pain
Sitting in my kitchen hey girl I'm turning into dust again My melancholy baby The star of mazzy must Push her voice inside of me I'm overcoming gravity I'm overcoming gravity It's easy when you're sad to be It's easy when you're sad... Sad like me!
I like pleasure spiked with pain And music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane Songbird sweet and sour Jane And music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain
Just one note Could make me float Could make me float away One note from The song she wrote Could fuck me where I lay Just one note Could make me choke One note that's not a lie Just one note Could cut my throat One note could make me die
I like pleasure spiked with pain And music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane Songbird sweet and sour Jane And music is my aeroplane It's my aeroplane
Can't stop addicted to the shin dig Chop top he says I'm gonna win big Choose not a life of imitation Distant cousin to the reservation Defunkt the pistol that you pay for This punk the feeling that you stay for In time I want to be your best friend Eastside love is living on the westend Knock out but boy you better come to Don't die you know the truth is some do Go write your message on the pavement Burnin' so bright I wonder what the wave meant White heat is screaming in the jungle Complete the motion if you stumble Go ask the dust for any answers Come back strong with 50 belly dancers
[Chorus:] The world I love The tears I drop To be part of The wave can't stop Ever wonder if it's all for you The world I love The trains I hop To be part of The wave can't stop Come and tell me when it's time to
Sweetheart is bleeding in the snowcone So smart she's leading me to ozone Music the great communicator Use two sticks to make it in the nature I'll get you into penetration The gender of a generation The birth of every other nation Worth your weight the gold of meditation This chapter's going to be a close one Smoke rings I know your going to blow one All on a spaceship persevering Use my hands for everything but steering Can't stop the spirits when they need you Mop tops are happy when they feed you J. Butterfly is in the treetop Birds that blow the meaning into bebop
[Repeat Chorus]
Wait a minute I'm passing out Win or lose just like you Far more shocking Than anything i ever knew How about you 10 more reasons Why i need somebody new just like you Far more shocking than anything I ever knew Right on cue
Can't stop addicted to the shin dig Chop top he says I'm gonna win big Choose not a life of imitation Distant cousin to the reservation Defunkt the pistol that you pay for This punk the feeling that you stay for In time I want to be your best friend Eastside love is living on the westend Knock out but boy you better come to Don't die you know the truth is some do Go write your message on the pavement Burnin' so bright I wonder what the wave meant
Kick start the golden generator Sweet talk but don't intimidate her Can't stop the gods from engineering Feel no need for any interfering Your image in the dictionary This life is more than ordinary Can I get 2 maybe even 3 of these Come from space To teach you of the pliedes Can't stop the spirits when they need you This life is more than just a read thru
Psychic spies from China Try to steal your mind's elation Little girls from Sweden Dream of silver screen quotations And if you want these kind of dreams It's Californication
It's the edge of the world And all of western civilization The sun may rise in the East At least it settles in the final location It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well To break the spell of aging Celebrity skin is this your chin Or is that war your waging
First born unicorn Hard core soft porn Dream of Californication Dream of Californication
Marry me girl be my fairy to the world Be my very own constellation A teenage bride with a baby inside Getting high on information And buy me a star on the boulevard It's Californication
Space may be the final frontier But it's made in a Hollywood basement Cobain can you hear the spheres Singing songs off station to station And Alderon's not far away It's Californication
Born and raised by those who praise Control of population, everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation
First born unicorn Hard core soft porn Dream of Californication Dream of Californication Dream of Californication Dream of Californication
Destruction leads to a very rough road But it also breeds creation And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar They're just another good vibration And tidal waves couldn't save the world From Californication
Pay your surgeon very well To break the spell of aging Sicker than the rest There is no test But this is what you're craving
First born unicorn Hard core soft porn Dream of Californication Dream of Californication Dream of Californication Dream of Californication
She says she's no good with words but I'm worse Barely stuttered out "A joke of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue Weighed down with words too over-dramatic Tonight it's "it can't get much worse" Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."
I'm two quarters and a heart down And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds These words are all I have so I'll write them So you need them just to get by
Dance, Dance We´re falling apart to half time Dance, Dance And these are the lives you'd love to lead Dance, this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loved me
You always fold just before you're found out Drink up its last call Last resort But only the first mistake and I...
I'm two quarters and a heart down And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds These words are all I have so I'll write them So you need them just to get by
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine You've been saving for his mattress, love
Dance, Dance We're falling apart to half time Dance, Dance And these are the lives you'd love to lead Dance, this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loved me
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine You've been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress) I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
Dance, Dance We're falling apart to half time Dance, Dance And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love) Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love) Dance this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loved me
I'm an arms dealer Fitting you with weapons in the form of words And don't really care which side wins As long as the room keeps singing That's just the business I'm in
This ain't a scene it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene it's a goddamned arms race I'm not a shoulder to cry on But, I digress
I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, oh-so intricate
I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, oh-so intricate
I wrote the gospel on giving up (You look pretty sinking) But the real bombshells have already sunk (Prima donnas of the gutter) At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep Crashing not like hips or cars, No, more like p-p-p-parties
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race Bandwagon's full Please, catch another
I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, oh-so intricate
I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, oh-so intricate
All the boys who the dance floor didn't love And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough Sing, until your lungs give out
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Now you) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Wear out the groove) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Sing out loud) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Oh, oh) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race
I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate, oh-so intricate(2x)
I was sitting, waiting, wishing You believed in superstitions Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel and I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool learning loving somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you Must I always be playing, playing your fool
I sang your songs, I danced your dance I gave your friends all a chance But putting up with them Wasn't worth never having you
Maybe you've been through this before But it's my first time so please ignore The next few lines cause they're directed at you
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool
I keep playing your part But it's not my scene Want this plot to twist I've had enough mystery you Keep building it up but Then you are shooting me down But I'm already down
Just wait a minute Just sitting, waiting Just wait a minute Just sitting, waiting
Well, if I was in your position I'd put down all my ammunition I'd wonder why it had taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel Cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you Must I always be playing, playing your fool Know I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool uhum...
Oh, well imagine; as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor, And I can't help but to hear, No I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words: "what a beautiful wedding, What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter. "yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."
I'd chime in with a "haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"no, It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. I'd chime in "haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"no, It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...
Well in fact I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved! Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne! Oh! well in fact I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved! Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne!
I'd chime in with a "haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"no, It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. I'd chime in "haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"no, It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
Again.
I'd chime in "haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"no, It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. I'd chime in "haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"no, It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
Now I'm of consenting age to be forgetting you in a cabaret. Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen may even ask my name As she sheds her skin on stage I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's P.A. The strip joint veteran sits two away Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Oh, but I'm afraid that I Well, I may of faked it And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
Well, I'm afraid that I Well, that's right, that I may have faked it And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
