Boy |
Alcoholic
kind of mood
lose
my clothes, lose my lube
cruising
for a piece of fun
looking
out for number one
different
partner every night
so
narcotic outta sight
what
a gas, what a beautiful ass.
And
it all breaks down at the role reversal,
got
the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin'
me round she's coming over me.
And
it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got
the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin'
me round she's coming over me.
Kind
of buzz that lasts for days
had
some help from insect ways
comes
across all shy and coy
just
another nancy boy.
Woman
man or modern monkey
just
another happy junkie
fifty
pounds, press my button
going
down.
And
it all breaks down at the role reversal
got
the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin'
me round she's coming over me.
And
it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got
the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin'
me round she's coming over me.
Does
his makeup in his room
douse
himself with cheap perfume
eyeholes
in a paper bag
greatest
lay I ever had
kind
of guy who mates for life
gotta
help him find a wife
we're
a couple, when our bodies double.
And
it all breaks down at the role reversal
got
the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin'
me round she's coming over me.
And
it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got
the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin'
me round she's coming over me.

Know |
I know,
you love the song but not the singer
I
know, you've got me wrapped around your finger
I
know, you want the sin without the sinner
I
know
I
know
I
know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I
know, the last in line is always called a bastard
I
know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I
know
I
know
I
know, you cut me loose in contradiction
I
know, I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition
I
know, it's asking for your benediction
I
know
I
know
I
know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I
know, the last in line is always called a bastard
I
know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I

I
know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I

I
know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

Pristine |
The means
are right for taking, fade to grey
Trying
to be ruthless, in the face of beauty
In
this matrix, it's plain to see
It's
either you or me.
Bruise,
pristine,
serene,
we
were born to lose.
Cast
a line with a velvet glove
Reading
like an open book, in the hands of love
In
this matrix, it's plain to see
It's
either you or me.
Bruise,
pristine,
serene,
we
were born to lose.

Lady of
The Flowers takes its name

the Jean Genet prison novel |

'Scuse
me, I apologize
he
likes your attitude, he tries it on for size
he
spends the afternoon, between your thighs
how's
that for gratitude, I apologize.
It
seemed to last for hours
It
seemed to last for days
This
lady of the flowers
and
her hypnotic gaze.
'Scuse
me, I apologize
she's
got vaccum cleaner eyes
suck
you in
she's
got magazines, filled with pear pies
'scuse
me, I apologize
It
seemed to last for hours
It
seemed to last for days
This
lady of the flowers
and
her hypnotic gaze.
She
wears her tears on her blouse
confused
and racked with self-doubt
she
stole the keys to my house
and
then she locked herself out.

She
lays me down

"Swallow
is what happened the last time Stefan and I took acid," reveals Molko.
"It could mean many
things,
I guess at first you might think it's about losing all your drugs, or maybe
it's someone who's so
wasted
during sex they forget not to swallow. I don't know, it was never really
written in a state of
reality." |
