I've been on tenterhooks ending in dirty looks, list'ning to the Muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that. She said that's that. I don't wanna chitter-chat. Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat. Pump it up when you don't really need it. Pump it up until...

My head is spinning and my legs are weak Goose step dancing, can't hear myself speak Hope in the eyes of the ugly girls That settle for the lies of the last chancers When slow motion drunks pick wallflower dancers You come here looking for the ride to glory G...

I'm cutting up her pure white dress That I dyed red That I dyed red I'm putting scraps in cheap tin lockets What time erases and memory mocks I'll send them over the ocean foam Right into those gentle European homes The slave ship "Blessing" slipped from Live...

Oh i used to be disgusted And now i try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain, That's when i knew that i could not refuse. And i won't get any ol...
