1979
1979
Shakedown 1979, cool
kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and
I should meet Junebug skipping like a stone With the headlights pointed
at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end to it all And I don't even
care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones
will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below Double
cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see That we don't even care as restless
as we are We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts And poured
cement, lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster that
the speed of sound Faster that we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of
hope Justine never knew the rules, Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it To see
that we don't care to shake those zipper blues And we don't know just where
our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth
below The street heats the urgency of sound As you can see there's no one
around
Ugly
I don't look in the
mirror I don't like what I see staring back at me Everything is clearer
I'll never see what you see It's not me So beautiful and free I'll never
be what you need Can't help at all I was born so beautiful But now I'm
ugly And I rot in my skin As a piece of me dies everyday I know I'm nothing
I know there's nothing I can say To change The judgment in their ways I'll
never be what you need Can't help at all My love was so beautiful But now
I'm ugly Yeah... I'm good enough, but I don't care I'm good enough, but
I'm not there I'm good enough, but I don't care The sun is out, but I'm
not there (I can go anywhere) I'm good enough, but I don't care (...somewhere)
(I can go anywhere) the sun is out, but I'm not there (...somewhere) (I
can go anywhere) I'm good enough (...somewhere) (I can go anywhere) I'm
good enough (...somewhere) I don't look in the mirror I don't like what
I see staring back at me Everything is clearer I'll never see what you
see And I rot in my skin As a piece of me dies everyday I know I'm nothing
Because I'm ugly

The Boy
I can't stop, I can't
breathe, I can't think I'm in love again I don't need, I don't eat, I don't
sleep I'm in love again Ooh, and every time I heard you breathe I sighed
Ooh, and every time I saw you bleed I cried Love is like a song And if
you sing If you ever need me I'll be there, and I- I can't stop, can't
breathe, can't think I'm in love again I don't need, I don't eat, I don't
sleep I'm in love again Ooh, and every time that I'm with you I'm alive
Ooh, and every time I think of you There's a light And I felt it, too And
my heart is a spring Is a well, if you need If you drink it for you Then
I'm leavin' Every little part of me is a part of you I can't stop, I can't
breathe, I can't think I'm in love again I don't need, I don't eat, I don't
sleep I'm in love again I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think I'm
in love again I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep I'm in love again
The boy, the boy's in love The boy, the boy's in love The boy, the boy's
in love The boy, the boy's in love
Cherry
(Listen-wanna just
start it?...ready, flood? Yeah...1, 2, 3, 4) Stay with me, I'll set you
free 'Cause I can tell you once were pretty Rose so sad you've lost your
petals And lost the luster of your tattle tales I need a love to help me
find my way I need a strength that I cannot betray I need a word to say
what I can't say I need a lover, lover I need a lover, lover What are we
waiting for? What are we waiting for? Time has lost its hold on me Hatred
sleeps inside my bones In the stillness of cool air All the boys have been
left for dead 'Cause we know where they fear to tread The beautiful ones,
the ones we'll remember The precious ones, our greatest pretenders I need
a love to help me find my way I need a strength that I cannot betray I
need a word to say what I can't say I need a lover, lover I need a lover,
lover And if you lose yourself Could you take me, too? Could you rest inside
the sleep? Stay with me, I'll set you free from you
Set the Ray to Jerry
Born to please, every
simple need I stand alone, and my thoughts indeed hate you For ever making
me I'm in you, I'll be anything And I want you And I need you And all you
are is brand new And I need you Come to me, let me hold you still I'm so
tired, just as tired as you Take me for anyone but me All that you feel
is never true And I want you And I need you And all you are is brand new
And I need you When you say that you are Forever my star I'll never let
you go, no, no I'll never let you know Let roar these feelings To the whore
of my tears Pure as a light, poured into your eyes Suck you like the sap
from a tree Honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah And I want
you And I need you And all you are is brand new And I need you When you
say that you are Forever my star I'll never let you go, no, no I'll never
let you know And I want you And I need you And all you are is brand new
And I need you
