The Moment You Realize You're Going to Fall
Black Light Burns

How To Look Naked

I had see'd people bleed and I thought I'd seen it all

but my own two eyes would prove me wrong that day.

There are things that I done only seen by the sun

and those things will be buried in my grave.

The crows and the buzzards will pick your bones clean.

No name of your's will be upon the wall.

Hogtied on Halloween and raped by magazines

We line up on the edge to watch you fall.

No one knows you don't take off your clothes

You took to the land like fishes take to sand.

You clambered up your cross to raise your flag.

Made tissue paper sails. Used thread instead of nails.

Your autograph was carved across your back.

We thought that you were done, but then you grabbed your gun.

You pushed and barked and ran full speed ahead.

You tore over the hill. We cannot find you still.

We hit the lights and hoped that you'd be dead.

No one knows you don't take off your clothes.

We hope we'll get to see you fall through the canopy.

With a stomach full of blood, you'll find the ground,..

We Light Up

I got my camera, I'm gonna take your picture tonight,

and you can see what you look like.

You got your camera, you're gonna take my picture tonight,

and I can see what I look like too,

with you, who knew that we'd look so good beaten black and blue.

You got your hair tied back and your fur coat on.

You call your girlfriends up and then we're gone.

We gonna meet down the street and we're drinking for free,

we pinky shake as you order your martini.

One last round and away we go, we run a little bit late, but make the show.

They were getting pretty friendly in the back of the car.

We gotta fight that crowd to reach that bar.

We're gonna rage in the city all night long.

We're gonna rage in the city all night long.

Your discotheque won't play my song.

We're gonna rage in the city all night long.

I got my camera, I'm gonna take your picture tonight,

and you can see what you look like.

You got your camera, you're gonna take my picture tonight,

and I can see what I look like too,

with you, who knew that we'd look so good beaten black and blue.

Well the band goes on, but we digress.

We gotta take the back stairs for roof access.

We can hear the city scream as we yell from the top.

It's 12:19 and we won't stop.

Late night lurks are underground.

Downstairs snares and ugly sounds.

I'm gonna make a proposition that I know you're about.

We're going back to your place to act it out.

And then we'll rage in the city all night long.

We're gonna rage in the city all night long.

Your discotheque won't play my song.

We're gonna rage in the city all night long.

The bridge, the tower, the top of the roof.

We light up the night and we're taking it to.

House to house, and mouth to mouth.

The fire escapes we shake where the sky scrapes.

The flights rise, and they collide. Tonight we will not be denied.

I could see that you were trouble from the moment we met,

but sometimes I've gotta live out what I'm gonna regret.

We're gonna rage in the city all night long.

We're gonna rage in the city all night long.

Your discotheque won't play my song.

We're gonna rage in the city all night long.

I Want You To

Drop the ship in the water and don't look back

Paint the stables red and the fire black

We watch the white horse run

White horse ride from the cell in it's cellar

Gonna get inside

Read the face on the shitter right between the ears

As his holes don't close when he's spitting spears

There's an eye of a liar on the other side

And a hole through the chest of the one that died

I want you to

You giveth away because

I want you to

You taketh away because

I want you to

You kiss on the lips because

I want you to

I want you to

Kill a few, kill a dozen, kill another's kin

He's rapping on the pane of the window again

He's got a blade for a tongue and there's snakes for eyes

And his hand's on the handles of a hundred knives

And if they don't fall down you can watch them run

With two bullets in your pocket and a rusty gun

We going three by three to the mountain top

To throw that son of a bitch right off the highest drop

I want you to

You open your mouth because

I want you to

You dance on my heart because

I want you to

You choke on your words because

I want you to

I want you to

The devil won't take my place

I need to touch your pretty face

He don't know your name

But you're all pretty much the same

You wanna be my frown?

I can promise that you'll be let down

You're a whirling dervish

A prude to purchase

Afraid to surface and serve this

Oh baby

I want you to

You pull out the plug because

I want you to

You stick in my guts because

I want you to

You pray on your knees because

I want you to

I want you to

I want you to

You giveth away because

I want you to

You taketh away because

I want you to

You kiss on the lips because

I want you to

I want you to

The Girl In Black

There's a flame in the desert at the foot of the hills

And there's a circle in the sand where the water spills

There's a line up the spine of the girl in black

And it rips through her dress at the small of her back

She's been waiting there to take you through that door

So you can lay her down on the cavern floor

And you'll see the same flame burning in her eyes

As you smear your stink across her inner thighs

You couldn't leave well enough alone

You hold your heart like it's made out of stone

You couldn't leave well enough alone

Alone alone alone

She slithers through the snow like a snake but she's still

And she come's floating through the window without touching the sill

She prefers to make an entrance without using the door

And she'll be standing on your bed before she crosses the floor

She's a will-of-the-wisp as she's swinging her hips

Her breath is like a worm spinning silk from her lips

And tonight spook lights will be seen from your room

And you and her and Jack and I are swimming in gloom

You couldn't leave well enough alone

You hold your heart like it's made out of stone

You couldn't leave well enough alone

Alone alone alone

The Colour Escapes

Come on baby lemme give you a name

And we'll see if you can find a purpose

These faces all look the same

And I can guarantee they're worthless

Some souls are bought and sold

They fold beneath the surface

We cannot take their hands

They'll hold their gold and curse us

The colour escapes, you know

You've seen my heart and it's black as coal

It's not the one that I wanted to show

You were built like a light on a stilt

And I can see you wilt in silence

People stand around waiting for signs

They become blind to your vibrance

They don't look, put their faith in a book

The end result is violence

Mind you, that bliss it sits on shit

It sits on mindlessness

The colour escapes, you know

You've seen my heart and it's black as coal

It's not the one that I wanted to show

Tiger By The Tail

I see, look across the way there

Like flame, giving me the same stare

Eyes locked

Exhibits A and B

You draw a line

Cutting through the air and

Connect

Making us a pair then

It's my hope to get burned

Don't you see?

Big kitty cats don't lick no paws

And little kitty cats don't show no claws

Big kitty cats don't lick no paws

And little kitty cats don't show no claws

I got a tiger by the tail

And I'm gonna give it a little kick

And then a big kiss

It's not safe down on the ground, no

They keep circling around, yeah

You better learn to climb a tree

It's not safe

Not where we at, no

You had better get yourself a bat and

Start swinging away at anything you see

I got a tiger by the tail

And I'm gonna give it a little kick

And then a big kiss

Your Head Will Be Rotting On A Spike

Your head will be rotting on a spike

I don't complain much but I might

Your life's on a loop just like before

You stuff your face and still want more

My head may be rotting on a spike

I don't complain much but I might

Given the time it's not the time to make an enemy

And you will stop seeing

Give us some time and try to wind up all the ends you find

There's no end to be seen

Now that you're blind they're not so kind, not so accepting now

That you are not breeding

Bring all you have and all you had, give all you got

Or stop

Our heads they are rotting on their spikes

We can't complain, we lost our sight

As useless as we were before

We stuff our face, but we are sure

We are sore

Given the time it's not the time to make an enemy

And you will stop seeing

Give us some time and try to wind up all the ends you find

There's no end to be seen

Now that you're blind they're not so kind, not so accepting now

That you are not breeding

Bring all you have and all you had, give all you got

Or stop

Torch From The Sky

Did you hear as she called

As her voice came down the hall

How it trembled as soft as a little girl?

Towards the knock on the door

I watched you glide across the floor

As you answered a hundred voices spoke

We will crawl through the mud

They will bathe in their own blood

We will take them like a splinter from an eye

And we come in the night

We are made of blackest light

Like a torch falling fast out of the sky

There's no fat in this land

The old heart has left it's hand

So let's sit and watch the distant fires glow

We will steal what we could

We are through being good

We will only be the sum of what you know

Did you hear the awful sound

As they pushed into the town?

I could tell the switch had flipped inside your head

There's no love left to give

We can't hide, we can't live

We are holding hands and walking with the dead

You can take me home


But I can't be alone


I can't be alone

Did you hear as she called

As her voice came down the hall

How it trembled as soft as a little girl?

Towards the knock on the door

I watched you glide across the floor

As you answered a hundred voices spoke

We will crawl through the mud

They will bathe in their own blood

We will take them like a splinter from an eye

And we come in the night

We are made of blackest light

Like a torch falling fast out of the sky

Like a torch falling fast out of the sky

Like a torch falling fast out of the sky

Like a torch falling fast out of the sky

Because Of You

Because of you

I've searched

The back streets to the shore

The river banks

No thanks

It won't feel like before

Because of this

I fish for little bits of time

I memorized your thoughts

And turned them into mine

I thought I'd let you know

I won't be letting go

I won't be turning cheek

I won't be swallowing

I thought I'd let you know

I won't be letting go

I won't be turning cheek

I won't be suffering

Because of you

I waste

The life I thought I made

I throw away what's warm

The colour starts to fade

Because it seems

I dream

Of being somewhere else

I try to find that place

And end up by myself

I thought I'd let you know

I won't be letting go

I won't be turning cheek

I won't be swallowing

I thought I'd let you know

I won't be letting go

I won't be turning cheek

I won't be suffering

Splayed

When you die I'm gonna roll around and laugh on the floor

I'll party like we never had a party before

When you fall I'm gonna be there just to raise up a glass

All dreams fulfilled of putting boots in your ass

You know there's something inside me

Like an animal that's gotta get out

You know there's something inside me

That makes me wanna put my fist in your mouth

When I die I'm gonna come back and haunt you for fun

Slam doors, move books, make you pee while you run

When I'm done I'm gonna celebrate my ghostly success

With my invisible penis watching ladies undress

You know there's something inside me

Like an animal that's gotta get out

You know there's something inside me

But it's not me

You know there's something inside me

Like an animal that's gotta get out

You know there's something inside me

That makes me wanna put my fist in your mouth

But it's not me

Scream Hallelujah

Now things have turned for the worse

Thought I was so well rehearsed

I guess I'm probably cursed

I just don't know

I beat my head on the wall

I'm trying not to recall

The inevitable fall

And so it goes

I'm struck so shockingly dumb

I know now I can become

The definition of numb

And you can too

So let's all pull out our teeth

And go to sleep like good sheep

Let's watch our TVs and weep

Oh yes

You better Scream Hallelujah

Scream Hallelujah

You better Scream Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Now get the fuck back in line

And pay your taxes on time

And lay around like you're swine

There is no doubt

You live your life on the screen

And talk about what you've seen

A vicarious dream

You won't live out

They put the rails in your head

And as you travel you're led

You can't control what you're fed

But you won't gag

So lock your yourself up indoors

Ignorant media whores

Before you're gasping in your plastic bag

You better Scream Hallelujah

Scream Hallelujah

You better Scream Hallelujah

Hallelujah

I don't want you to go it alone

So I left a little seed and it's grown

But somehow you don't seem

Like one for watering

I'll never ask you why

But these little things, they die

You better Scream Hallelujah

Scream Hallelujah

You better Scream Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Bakelite

Blood is wrong

But always on the corner of the tabletop

A bag of bones that sits and smokes

And laughs at all your stupid jokes

It's such a fuss to fall for love

Not fall in love

To fall

A drug

So smug at first

Then learns the thirst

Gets worse and worse

And all your new found

Hope is gone

But all along

It always was

The same old song

And dance for now

You dance so proud

You sing so loud

You break apart

A work of

I hate myself so full of shits

A giggle fit

For wasting time

And passing by

I settle down

Into a frown

So many years

Of wearing down

And out of this

It's ludicrous to amputate

A simple wish because it sits

Just right outside appropriate

And your

Hope is gone

But all along

It always was

The same old song

And dance for now

You dance so proud

You sing so loud

You break apart

A work of art

Burn The World

Where are we?

Where are we?

We are searching endlessly

I got only one night left

I'm never going to bed

And where is she?

Not free

Brain chained

Lock and key

She got-

A little fever

But it's killing my head

I thought I burned the world

Around me down but now

The sound is clearly calling us

Right back to watch them wind it up

I thought you burned the world

Around you down but now

The sound is clearly calling us

Right back to watch them wind it up again

We fall

We break

It seems real but it's all fake

It's on the television

It's your decision

You walk away with weights on

And you're gonna sink

You're extinct

In your hole

They say you've lost your soul

I know the grass won't grow

So slick, you slipped

But you slid too slow

You know

I thought I burned the world

Around me down but now

The sound is clearly calling us

Right back to watch them wind it up

I thought you burned the world

Around you down but now

The sound is clearly calling us

Right back to watch them wind it up again

Grinning Like A Slit

You can look to the mountain

You can talk to the dead

You can run to the city lights

But it's all in your head

You can look to a stranger

But all you'll find is a wall

You can wish all you want

But no one answers at all

Goodbyes

They are flies

That rise from shit

And I was skinning

A new beginning

While you were grinning

Like a slit

You can try not to cry out

As you wake in the night

You can stare at the blackness

But it's taken your sight

You imagine a face there

That you can almost touch

You can reach all you want

But it's only a crutch

Goodbyes

They are flies

That rise from shit

And I was skinning

A new beginning

While you were grinning

Like a slit

Where are you now?

Where is the crowd?

These sleeping streets

Are speaking aloud

And I couldn't recall

The feeling at all

The moment I realized I was going to fall
