Actress 05:52
I once knew a girl who had Shakespearian eyes Hair like the wind with Casablanca tattooed down her thighs I once knew a girl who could always utilize Her gorgeous stare to hear mens' cries I once knew a girl with Rodgers-like dance skills If she saw a man she liked she'd go in for the kill I once knew a girl who'd unwillingly thrill You into a trance then you'd be held against your will And as the actress takes takes the stage We're ready now to see the play As we turn the page of our playbills And when the actress takes the stage All eyes on her, all of the day And we don't worry 'bout the strange of the fill Until I once saw a girl whose memorizing mesmerized me Voice going at a thousand miles per hour, so hypnotizing I once saw a girl who could have all the men capsizing Down into their seats because the edge was too inciting I once saw a girl with vampiric features She was my one and only, what a lovely creature I once saw a girl who said "Hey it's nice to meet ya Excuse me for a moment as I seduce the preacher" And as the actress takes takes the stage We're ready now to see the play As we turn the page of our playbills And when the actress takes the stage All eyes on her, all of the day And we don't worry 'bout the strange of the fill Until Dance baby, dance, dance baby Dance until you can dance no more Dance baby, dance, dance baby Dance until you're sore Dance darling, dance, dance darling Dance till your feet disintegrate Dance darling, dance, dance darling Dance until you know your fate Run, run through the theater Run right through the screen, I wanna hear you sing And as the actress takes takes the stage We're ready now to see the play As we turn the page of our playbills And when the actress takes the stage All eyes on her, all of the day And we don't worry 'bout the strange of the fill Until we all get killed

We're living in a 21st century world With 17th century thoughts Soon we will have to face the human race As it slowly decays and rots There's maggots clogging our ideals And our morals have been shot to the ground The children are running around in haze Of smoke rings and they'll never be found Our education (It's dead) The revolution (it's dead) The whole nation (it's dead) And we're breaking out of our homes The thinker (It's dead) The artist (It's dead) The words which we wield and tinker with are nothing but dead Because minds of mankind have been fucked to the bone Now there are billions of people on this Earth And a lot of 'em starving and poor You only got a Washington left in your wallet And you use it on a donut at the store But there's a man outside the entrance With a jingly-jangly can Waiting for pedestrians to drop something in For Libya or Haiti or Japan The idea of caring (It's dead) Responsibility (It's dead) Weight control (It's dead) It's the saddest world that I've ever known Protection (it's dead) The right to free speech (It's dead) Sanity in politics is dead and its revival's out of our reach Because minds of mankind have been fucked to the bone I read a newspaper in the morning Seeing people lying dead in the streets Struggling and holding on to all that they have Truly trying to make ends meet But 50,000 miles away from there There's lucky Lotto winning putz Who buys a new car and a new house and all the porn that he can afford And when he dies the stench of greed stays on his gloves Unity (it's dead) Trust (It's dead) Evolution (it's dead) We're getting dumber just as fast as time goes The world (it's dead) Because minds of mankind have been fucked to the bone

Cannibal 03:05
I am a Cannibal, and you are my prey I'll feed on the young ones first, and the elders all day Because I'm a cannibal, I'm alone most of the time But if I get hungry, I just commit suicide Some say I'm an animal, those people don't know that much Unless I am a wildebeest, then I'm ready to hunt But I'm not an animal, I'm just misunderstood In the argument of the acts of man, I do propose he is good Feed me Seymour, punctuation is key Someone's at my door, guess I'm good for an afternoon treat This must be known to you, if we ever meet I'll have you for dinner every night of the week This must be known to you, get it through your head Fill up your brain nicely, before I consume you till you're dead Feed me Seymour, punctuation is key Someone's at my door, guess I'm good for an afternoon treat

Someone burned down the riverside It burned down in all its pride Not one man in there deserved to die And not one woman held on to their life Someone burned down the riverside It made me see the fire in your eyes Your pupils went ablaze and opened wide Even more so than when you were my bride Disbelieve your hopes and dreams and just forget Think of all the people that have left Someone entered a construction zone Walking freely around in the snow Unfortunately they didn't know What was underneath their fragile toes Someone entered a construction zone A "No Trespassing" sign they didn't note They made snow angles then began to go But fell through the frozen undertow Disbelieve your hopes and dreams and just forget Think of all the people that have left I seem to find a rising curiosity Why everyone's not scared of death Except for me Someone played a darkened tune of war Like the one I heard the night before All my colleagues walked out through the door And went to lead a life so ripped and torn Someone played a darkened tune of war But how I loved the way his piano roared After the number finished up my ears were sore 5 minutes later I came back for more I didn't want to return to the forlorn Disbelieve your hopes and dreams and just forget Think of all the people that have left I seem to find a rising curiosity Why everyone's not scared of death Except for me

"Fuck your father, he's a dick" My mother said this and then quick -ly she left through the door Every step she took was a storm "Fuck your mother, she's a cunt She doesn't know a damn thing about love" My father screamed, I intervened Unaware that I just began a scene Lights, camera, action, kids You're in for the main attraction Skid marks on the driveway from the car She used to bring back the elephant in the- Ready, places, everyone You're in for a whole lot of fun Sunday, sunday, sunday, pay-per-view As we address the elephant in the room "Shut up boy, it's getting late And I don't wanna stay up with this mistake. I got work to do, just go to bed And cover the ears on your little head" The doorbell rings, and we both freeze Only sound is the static on the TV We look through the peepholes on the door My father says four words "It's just the whore" Lights, camera, action, kids You're in for the main attraction Skid marks on the driveway from the car She used to bring back the elephant in the- Ready, places, everyone You're in for a whole lot of fun Sunday, sunday, sunday, pay-per-view As we address the elephant in the room No apologies we ain't got time To think of a reason or even a rhyme To their dysfunctional psychotic tendencies I've it now, It's time to beg down on my knees "I love your father, he's the man" My mother said this and then ran Into his arms, and she smiled Happy to stay there for a while "I love your mother, she's a doll" "There's no chance of a downfall" I said to myself, unlucky me My wants are only in my dreams Lights, camera, action, kids You're in for the main attraction Skid marks on the driveway from the car She used to bring back the elephant in the- Ready, places, everyone You're in for a whole lot of fun Sunday, sunday, sunday, pay-per-view As we address the elephant in the room

Early morning, we're starving for love Hoping the day will bring, something good from above Early morning, searching for things That we won't find out about, until we're into our late teens Well it's one small hope for man And one giant risk for mankind Please help me find another way to live Mid-afternoon, we're praying for cold This heat wave has got us down, things are starting to mold Into a form - I've never seen before Some kind of hopelessness slides right under the door Ask not what a lover can do for you But what you can do for your lover Help me find another way to live As it turns to night, I just can't bear it any longer I'm drowning in this pool of wanting water Tossing and turning all night Feel this sense of ever-present fright Waiting for somebody to give Just a little bit or I'd be happy if I'd found another way to live Help me find another way to live

Wanting to see how it's supposed to be But I just do not have the time Making a makeshift coalition of tyrants Who will soon be mine Lately it seems I've succumbed to the screaming I've lost all my family and what's left inside me I'm crawling out of the world step by step I'm crawling up for the girl that I left Killing me softly with lips just like candy Straight out of the devil's hands Running into a cave filled with the brave- Hearted people who had no chance Lately I'm seeing there's way too much screaming I've lost all my family and sense of recovery I've found that it's way too hard for me To get hope as a replacement for my misery I've given up, there's nowhere to turn Except for around, that's when I see her Lately I've been sort of mopey and crazy I didn't think that she would ever find me I've been on my hands and knees for a century And now I have reason to finally be happy I've crawled out of the world yeah yeah yeah

Hey Jane nice to meet you "Why're you lyin' face down in the street?" You asked Well it's a funny story, see, it goes back to a girl from my past Her name was Jackie and she found a little dirt on me So she threw me in the dirt Now my skin is curdling with pain Well I got up, I pushed her down Turns out I'm not the only one who's been messin' around Didn't have no comprehension about the consequential Events that'd arise, well then I opened up my eyes and I was here Hey Jane nice to meet you I know this is quite a story for you To hear upon our first meeting But that's cause I'm ready to trust you Jane you must protect me from Jackie's evil ways 'cause she's way too evil for my taste Help me out Oh so long ago, when we were one We would have unlimited amounts of fun Until she went ballistic, at an art exhibit I left her alone in cuffs, by the fuzz, and that's what led me to be here Hey Jane nice to meet you I know this is quite a story for you To hear upon our first meeting But that's cause I'm ready to trust you Jane you must protect me from Jackie's evil ways 'cause she's way too evil for my taste Help me out Hey Jane nice to meet you She said "Nice to meet you too But before I go there's just two things I need to ask from you: One, what is your name?" Well 'round here they call me James "Secondly what was the dirt that Jackie obtained?"

Laughing in the sky I screamed Good god, well this is not a dream At least not one like the one I had the night before I need more Prescriptions of fexofenadine Everything should just be OTC That would be much better than what the doctor says It clears my head I'm falling, I'm falling down Into the ground I'm rising, I'm rising up Into the above The address I saw was different than he read Cause there was something else going on in my head A string of words as clear as a ruby Hooray for me Studying up on a Greek four-part cure To not worry about death it ensures But it's the only thing I can do Without you I'm flying, I'm flying around Above the ground I'm diving, I'm diving through dust There's not enough Running through the fields of love The flowers are red and the grass is rough Everything is off beat Take me out into the street Listening to the sounds of hate A beautifully negative state Of true grit and emotion I know I'm not the only one I'm falling, I'm falling down Into the ground I'm rising, I'm rising up Into the above I'm flying, I'm flying around Above the ground I'm diving, I'm diving through dust There's not enough

Send the cops out to find me Send the firemen, send the whole bunch Hell, you can send the whole county if you wanna But I don't care that much You could round up the whole government To pull me out of the snow And while that'd be quite the achievement There's only one person that I want to take me home I only want you to save me from my place I only want you to brush the wreckage off my face I only want you to take me through the eclipse And I only want you and the taste of your lips And at whatever point you find me Make sure you come alone Cause I don't wanna see other people Because I know That they'd just make me unhappy Some of them are the reason I'm out here anyway But the minute I see that it's just us I know you'll save me any day I only want you to save me from my place I only want you to brush the wreckage off my face I only want you to take me through the eclipse And I only want you and the taste of your lips Take my hand And pull me out, as my heart goes into A beat you'd only understand Cause no one feels the way that I do About you I only want you to save me from my place I only want you to brush the wreckage off my face I only want you to take me through the eclipse And I only want you and the taste of your lip
