welcome to nowhere fast nothing here ever lasts nothing but memories of what never was we're nowhere, we're nowhere, we're nowhere to be nowhere, we're nowhere, we're nowhere to see living makes me sick so sick i wish i'd die down in the belly of the beast i can't lie you're nowhere, you're nowhere, you're nowhere to be nowhere, you're nowhere, you're nowhere to see there's nothing left to do there's nothing left to feel doesn't matter what you want, so to make yourself feel better you make it so you'll never give in to your forevers and live for always and forever, forever, you're forever to be forever, forever, you're forever to me
 
Zero
 
my reflection, dirty mirror there's no connection to myself i'm your lover, i'm your zero i'm the face in your dreams of glass so save your prayers for when you're really gonna need 'em throw out your cares and fly wanna go for a ride? she's the one for me she's all i really need cause she's the one for me emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me intoxicated with the madness, i'm in love with my sadness bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms the fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth i never let on, that i was on a sinking ship i never let on that i was down you blame yourself, for what you can't ignore you blame yourself for wanting more she's the one for me she's all i really need she's the one for me she's my one and only
 
Here is no why
 
the useless drag of another day the endless drags of a death rock boy mascara sure and lipstick lost glitter burned by restless thoughts of being forgotten and in your sad machines you'll forever stay desperate and displeased-with whoever you are and you're a star somewhere-he pulls his hair down-over a frowning smile a hidden diamond you cannot find a secret star that cannot shine over to you may the king of gloom, be forever doomed and in your sad machines you'll forever stay burning up in speed lost inside the dreams, of teen machines the useless drags, the empty days the lonely towers of long mistakes to forgotten faces and faded loves sitting still was never enough and if you're giving in, then you're giving up cause in your sad machines you'll forever stay burning up in speed lost inside the dreams, of teen machines
 
Bullet with butterfly wings
 
the world is a vampire, sent to drain secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames and what do i get, for my pain betrayed desires, and a piece of the game even though i know-i suppose i'll show all my cool and cold-like old job despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage then someone will say what is lost can never be saved despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage now i'm naked, nothing but an animal but can you fake it, for just one more show and what do you want, i want to change and what have you got when you feel the same even though i know-i suppose i'll show all my cool and cold-like old job despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage then someone will say what is lost can never be saved despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage tell me i'm the only one tell me there's no other one jesus was an only son tell me i'm the chosen one jesus was an only son for you despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage and i still believe that i cannot be saved
 
To forgive
 
ten times removed i forget about where it all began bastard son of a bastard son of a wild eyed child of the sun and right as rain, i'm not the same but i feel the same, i feel nothing holding back the fool again holding back the fool pretends i forget to forget nothing is important holding back the fool again i sensed my loss before i even learned to talk and i remember my birthdays empty party afternoons won't come back holding back the fool again holding back the fool pretends i forget to forget nothing is important holding back the fool again i forget to forget me i forget to forget you see nothing is important to me i knew my loss before i even learned to speak and all along, i knew it was wrong but i played along, with my birthday song holding back the fool again holding back the fool pretends i forget to forget nothing is important holding back the fool again
 
Fuck you (an ode to no one)
 
i'm never coming back i'm never giving in i'll never be the shine in your spit i disconnect the act i disconnect the dots i disconnect the me in me and you're mistaken, it's you that's faking living and breathing and dying too this message is for anyone who dares to hear a fool you can't bring me back, you can't bring me back cause i gave it all back to you thru sacred alleys, the living wrecks wreak their havoc upon this world the disenchanted, the romantics, the body and face and soul of you is gone down that deep black hole destroy the mind-destroy the body-but you cannot destroy the heart and you, you make me so i need to disconnect and you make it so real i don't need your love to disconnect to runaround kids in get-go cars with vaseline afterbirths and neon coughs galaxies full of nobodies giving us the farewell runarounds i took a virgin mary axe to his sweet baby jane, lost my innocence to a no good girl, scratch my face with anvil hands, and coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth and i give it all back to you no way, i don't need it, i don't need your love to disconnect and you make it, so real, i don't need your love to disconnect no way to disconnect and you make it so real i don't need your love to disconnect no way to disconnect
 
Love
 
to my mistakes, to my mistakes of cowardice she shimmy shakes, the jimmy jakes of consequence born of the airs and dues, my airs of madness do declare that it's ok, it's love it's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be for what you needed to need, she'll make it up love, it's who you know machine gun blues, her vacant rush is so steel i'm unaware, lost inside your visions i got mine too over, i got mine and i got you cause i know you, you're love it's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be for what you needed to need, she'll make it up love, it's who you know can i look up to you as you look down on me can i feel in to you as you felt in to me i can't help what you see, i can't help but to be for what i needed to need, she'll make it love, it's who you know
 
Cupid de Locke
 
cupid hath pulled back his sweethearts bow to cast divine arrows into her soul to grab her attention swift and quick or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick the turpintine kisses and mistaken blows see the devil may do as the devil may care he loves none sweeter the dare her mouth the mischief he doth seek her heart the captive of which he speaks so note all ye lovers with a sound your world be shattered with nary a note of one cupids arrow under your coat and in the land of star- crossed lovers and barren hearted wanderers forever lost in forsaken missives and satans pull we seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable our hopes dead gathering dust to dust in faith, in compassion, and in love.
 
Galapogos
 
ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child softly stolen under our blanket skies and rescue me from me, and that i believe i won't deny the pain i won't deny the change and should i fall from grace here with you will you leave me too? carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree and hold me for goodbyes- and whispered lullabyes and tell me i am still the man i'm supposed to be i won't deny the pain i won't deny the change and should i fall from grace here with you will you leave me too? too late to turn back now, i'm running out of sound and i am changing, changing and if we died right now, this fool you love somehow is here with you i won't deny the pain i won't deny the change and should I fall from grace here with you would you leave me too?
 
Muzzle
 
i fear that i'm ordinary just like everyone to lie here and die among the sorrows adrift among the days for everything i ever said and everything i've ever done is gone and dead as all things must surely have to end and great lovers will one day have to part i know that i meant for this world my life has been extrordinary blesses and cursed and won time heals but i am never broken by and by the way... have you ever heard the i'm singing in these songs? its for the girl i've loved all along can a taste of love be so strong as all things must surely have to end and great loves will one day have to part i know that i'm meant for this world and in my mind as i was floating far above the clouds some children laughed i'd fall for certain for thinking that i'd last forever but i knew exactly where I was and i knew the meaning of it all and i knew the distance to the sun and i knew the echo that is love and i knew the secrets in your spires and i knew the emptiness of youth and i knew the solitude of heart and i knew the murmurs of the soul and the world is drawn into your hands and the world is etched upon your heart and the world so hard to understand is the world you can't live without and i knew the silence of the world.
 
Porcelina of the vast oceans
 
as far as you take me that's where i believe the relm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves on a distant shoreline, she waves her arms to me as all the thought police, are closing in for sleep the dilly dally of my bright lit stay the steam of my misfortunes has given me the power to be afraid and in my mind i'm everyone and in my mind without a care in this whole world without a care in this life it what you take that makes it right porcelina of the oceans blue in the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts the light of all that's good, the light of all that's true to the fringes gladly, i walk unadorned with gods and their creations with filth and disease porcelina, she waits for me there with seashell hissing lullabyes and whispers fathomed deep inside my own hidden thought and alibies my secret thoughts come alive without a care in this world without a care in this life its what you take that makes it right and in my mind i'm everyone you make it right it's allright you make it right porcelina of the oceans blue
 
Take me down
 
Take me down to the underground won't you take me down to the underground why oh why, there is no light and if I can't sleep, can you hold my life and all I see is you take my hand, i lost where i began in my heart i know all my faults will you help me understand and i believe in you you're the other half of me sooothe and heal.... when you sleep, you dream, i'll be there if you need me, whenever i hear you sing.... there is a sun, it'll come, the sun, i hear them call me down i held you once, a love that once, and life had just begun and you're all i see... and trumpets blew, and angels flew on the other side and you're all i see, and your all i'll need ther's a love that god puts in your heart
 
Twilight to Starlight
 
 

                                             Where boys fear to tread
 
 

candy cane walks down to build a bonfire to break my fall my baby, my sweet thing just maybe we could lose ourselves this time king of the horseflies, dark prince of death his tragic forces are heaven sent in sweet things, in lovers breath in knowing that was meant to be the last a go- go kids, a go- go style a suck suck kiss, a suck suck suck smile as always, in young need a veiled promise never to die on dead highways, her black beauties roam for june angels, so far from home a love lost, a faded picture to tread lightning, to ink the lavendar skies so get on the bomb get back where you belong
 

                                   Bodies
 

cast the pearls aside, of a simple life of need come into my life forever the crumbled cities stand as known of the sight you've been shown of the hurt you call your own love is suicide the empty bodies stand at rest casualties of their own flesh afflicted by their dipossesion nut no bodies ever knew nobodys no bodies felt like you nobodys love is suicide now we drive the night, the ironies of peace you can't help deny forever the tragedies reside in you the secret sights hide in you the lonely nights divide you in two all my blisters now revealed in the darknees of my dreams in the spaces in between us but no bodies eber knew nobodys no bodies felt like you nobodys love is suicide
 

                               Thirty-Three
 

speak to me in a language i can hear humour me begor i have to go deep in thought i forgive everyone as the cluttered streets greet me once again i know i can't be late, supper's waiting on the table tomorrow's just an excuse away so i pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own the earth laughs beneath my heavy feet in the blasphamy in my heavy walk steeple guide me to my heat and home the sun is out and up and down again i know i'll make it love can last forever graceful swans of never topple to the earth and you can make it last, forever you you can make it last, forever you and for the moment i lose myself wrapped up in all the pleasures of the world i've journeyed here and there and back again but in the same old haunts i still find my friends mysteries not ready to reveal sympathies i'm ready to return i'll make the effort, love can last forever graceful swans of never topple the earth tomorrow's just an excuse and you can make it last, forever you
 

                        In the arms of sleep
 

sleep will not come for this tired body now peace will not come to this lonely heart there are some things i'll live without but i want you to know that i need you right now i need you tonight i steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves cause i'll always miss her wherever she goes and i'll always need her more than she could ever need me i need someone to ease my mind but sometimes a someone is hard to find and i'll do any thing to keep her tonight and í'll say anything to make her feel alright and i'll be anything to keep her here tonight cause i was you to stay with me i need you tonite she comes to me like an angel out of time as i play the part of saint on my knees there are some things i'll live without but i want you to know that i need you right now suffer my desire suffer my desire suffer my desire for you
 

                                      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 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 than the speed of sound faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope justine never knew the rules hung down with the freaks and the gouls no apologies ever need be made, i know you better than you fake it to see that we don't even care these zipper blues and we don't even 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

                         Thru the eyes of ruby
 

wrap me up in always your innocence is treasure your innocence is death your innocence is all i have breathing under water, and living under glass and if you spin your love around the secrets of your dreams you may find your love is gone and is not quite what it seemed to appear to dissappear beneath all your darkest fears i believe in never, i believe in all the way but belief is not to notice, belief is just some faith and faith can't help you to escape and with this ring i wed thee true and with this ring i wed thee now and with this ring i play so dead but no one's asking for the truth, so let me tell you if you spin your love around the secrets of your dreams you may find you love is gone and is not quite what it seemed to appear to disappear beneath all your darkest fears to the revelations of fresh faced youth no one will come to save you so speak your peace in the murmurs drawn but youth is wasted on the young your strenth is my weakness, your weakness is my hate my love for you just can't explain why we're forever frozen, forever beautiful forever lost inside ourselves the night has come to hold us young.
