THE NOOSE, THE FLESH, AND THE DEVIL

The City's asleep now
Your legs grow weak as you lie in bed
He won't release you
And of this hunger he's unaware

Think of our bodies lying so close
But you are gone
And if I can't have you I can't go on

Your mother his children
Give up your freedom to show you care
Thinking of me
And late in the evening you want me there

Think of our bodies burning as one
But you hang up the phone
And if I can't have you I can't go on

Blood runs deep
Conspiracy the first offense
The killer's asleep now
Blood washes away, the guilt remains

A steely blade cuts the life from our hearts
And we are gone
And if I can't have you I can't go on
I can't go on
I won't go on

And if I can't have you

EUPHORIA

Touch the night, with every sense
Ravaged by your elegance
Lay beside me and feel my skin
Clear your mind, we'll soon begin
Spanish eyes that once were blind
The serum leaves the words behind

Taste me, waste me
Shoot me, fill me with it
Needles sting you
But they bring you

(High) Euphoria
(High) Euphoria

Into darkness, all that you are
You're a shadow, you're a star
Well, scream if you like now
Both our bodies swallowed by lust, by lust

Kiss me, hit me
Be free with me won't you?
Needles sting you
But they bring you

(High) Euphoria
(High) Euphoria

(Here we go)

See your body
And the promise that you made
A promise of a new tomorrow
You keep every word you said

Umbrella girl
Your kiss a shiny chrome needle
Your lips so luscious and evil
Well heaven drips from your mouth
I know what it's all about
I've caught you like a disease
And it's flowing through my veins
Through my veins

Taste me, waste me
Shoot me, fill me with it
Needles sting you
But they bring you

(High) Euphoria, yeah
(High) Euphoria

(High)
(High)
Euphoria

UNTOUCHED

(Untouched, untouched)

Don't need no sign to tell me
What you're headed for
Live for the moment child
There ain't nothing more
And I may be one track minded
When my pleasure turns to lust
But some things child are better left untouched

Temptation whirls around me
It's got me in its hold
She's as warm as springtime
And I'm December's cold
And I don't know what to tell her
When desire turns to rust
We'll share this road to nowhere, if we must
But some things child are better left untouched

And when you breathe while everything is quiet, baby
You might just start a fire
And when the world, it wraps its tail around you
You don't live forever, so fill your hearts desire

And I may be one track minded
When my pleasure turns to lust
But some things child are better left untouched
I said some things child, are better left untouched
I said some things child, are better
I said some things child, are better
I said some things child, are better left untouched

You come and lay you head on me, yeah
When you're
Lonely, lonely, lonely

Your pride gone long ago
Your smile, just a prop
To hide the years
The years begin to show, yeah

When you're
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Maybe you're lonely

WATERCOLOURS

Well, you've lived you life
Selling day for night
And it runs like
Watercolours in the rain

As the years roll by
Still lost in time
Shimmers, watercolours in the rain

Don't you see it
Look behind
Don't believe it
And you've lied

Let it rain, rain, rain, yes
Let it rain, rain, rain
On down, on down

Hang your head in shame
Wasted life in vain
And the blame runs
Watercolours in the rain, uh huh

Now the end is near (Now the end is near)
All the things you fear (All the things you fear)
Disappear in watercolours
In the rain

Don't you see it
Look behind
Don't believe it
And you've lied, the angels cry

Let it rain, rain, rain
Let it rain, rain, rain, yeah
Without believing you've
Forsaken the need
You've got a reason
The reason is me
Let it rain, let it rain
On down

You stand at the altar of shame
Guilty, guilty, the angels say

Let it rain, rain, rain
Let it rain, rain, rain, yeah
Without believing you've
Forsaken the need, yeah
You've got a reason
The reason is me
Let it rain, rain, rain
On down

Oh baby please let it rain, rain, rain
On down, down, down
You've got a reason, you've got a reason
Say it, the reason is me

Let it rain, rain, rain

BURN ON

Christian's whinin'
Catholics bitchin'
History should teach a lesson now
Words can kill as well as whips and chains
Dynasties they fall to ruin
Mongolia's doing fine
So fine

Jews refrain
While Muslims fighting
A thousand years
Satan's delighted now
Why?
We do his work for him

We all burn on
Everybody feels ashamed
We all burn on
So put away your pride it's all in vain, yes

Dresden burned but missed the headlines
Hitler, Stalin
Boy would they shine now
Ridin' shotgun with the Lebanese
Martin Luther dreamed of promise
Kennedy was shot by Johnson now
Jack Ruby blew away the patsy

We all burn on
Everybody feels ashamed
I said We all burn on
So put away your pride it's all in vain, yeah
I tell you people down inside we're all the same, yeah
So put away your pride, its such a shame

I was talking to mother nature
And she said you ought to be ashamed of yourselves

You look at ahead as the years rolling by
And your tears are burnin' like fire
You close your eyes, but you still can feel
Those flames burnin' higher and higher and higher
Used to dream of curing cancer
Living long was quite romantic then
Well, I won't make thirty-five

We all burn on
Well, everybody feels ashamed, yeah
I said we all burn on
So put away your pride, it's all in vain, yeah
We all burn on
Well everybody feels ashamed, yes
We all burn on
So put away your pride, it's all in vain yeah, vain yeah
I tell you people deep down in inside, all the same
all the same now, all the same now
I tell you people, it's such a shame

YOU AIN'T GONNA LOVE ME

As you sleep I watch the night slip away
The sunlight dripping through the cracks in the shade
I know you're leaving
And I won't ask you to stay, oh no no no no
An angel's kiss I feel in your touch
and when I love you I can't love you too much
So you've possessed me
And my heart's been bruised enough, yes

Just say goodbye
It's dead and gone
No need to lie
This can't go on
Just say goodbye
'Cos one thing I know baby
You ain't gonna love me anymore

I sleep alone when I sleep with you
Your empty promises cut me in two
I close my eyes and realize
Just what you put me through, well it's true

Just say goodbye
It's dead and gone
No need to lie
This can't go on
Just say goodbye
'Cos one thing I know baby, well
You ain't gonna love me anymore, no

An angels kiss I feel in your touch
That when I love you I can't love you too much, no
So you've possessed me
Said my heart's been bruised enough, yes

Just say goodbye
It's dead and gone
No need to lie
This can't go on
Just say goodbye
'Cos one thing I know baby
You ain't gonna love me anymore, I said no more, no
I spend my whole life tryin'
To keep this pain from dyin'
So what's the use in tryin'?
You ain't gonna love me anymore, anymore, no no

So what's the use in cryin'?
You ain't gonna love me

JULIANNA

Mystery with a thousand faces
And every one of them right
Like a calling
She holds my eyes in the light

I was lost
In a long black fever
In an empty refrain
'Til an angel
With long red hair
Called my name
I said called my name, now

Julianna
Won't you come for me
I need your love
And your tragedy
Julianna
Won't you come for me
In the night

And now I walk
In an endless circle
It grows increasingly tight
Well should I close my eyes
Should I fear the night
Please, Give me sight

Julianna
Won't you come for me
I need your love
And your tragedy
Julianna
Won't you come for me
In the night, all right, yeah

In a dream
Her look a heavy haze
Darkness bows as her slave
And like a child
I drop to my knees and I pray

Reach out her hand
To touch a body that feels(I want it)
So much like danger (I want it)
She taunts me with visions of (I want it)
Mangers and doves that won't fly for me (I want it)

Julianna
Won't you come for me
I need your love
And your tragedy
Julianna
Won't you come for me
In the night, all right
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Julianna
Won't you come for me now
I need your love
And your tragedy
Julianna
Won't you come for me
In the night, it's all right, in the night

You keep me coming all night
You keep me coming all night
Oh come on darling all right
Julianna is right

I want you need you
I want you need you

You keep me coming all night
You keep me coming all night

TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY

What can I say
That hasn't been said before
How I miss your voice
On the telephone

So many times
I never saw the look in your eyes
And now I'm staring at a picture of you
And God it's beautiful too

But, we take it all for granted
That love is open handed and free
But lying here alone
Sleeping by the phone I believe, yes
That without you
I'm no good at being me,
I'm no good at being me, well

Box on the shelf
That I keep from myself
It keeps everything you gave me
Hidden well

Now the clothes that I wear
I suppose that it's only fair
That I have to say thank you for
Taking me everywhere
But I'm still nowhere

Cause, we take it all for granted
That love is open handed and free
And lying alone
Sleeping by the phone I believe, yeah
That without you,
I'm no good at being me

I want to be truly, madly, deeply in you
I want to be truly, madly, deeply in you
I want to be truly, and madly, now

Said I want it right now, yeah, yeah
So why'd you leave me, why'd ya go
Leave me child, it hurts me so
Now leave me, now leave me, now leave me, now
I said come back baby, come back baby

(It only hurts forever - ad infinium)
