“Am I Too Dark For You?”
Listen (mp3)
EVERY DAY IS HALLOWEEN
BUT IM NOT DARK AS I SEEM
MY FAVORITE COLORS TANGERINE
MY COFFEE NEEDS A LITTLE CREAM
YOU SAY YOU WANNA GET AWAY
LETS CRAWL BACK IN OUR GRAVE
THE HELL WITH THE "I LOVE YOUS"
FADE TO BLACK GET IT THROUGH
I KNOW YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA WIN
IM GONNA FIGHT YOU TIL THE BITTER END
WITH BLACK MAGIC AND MY SHITTY JOB
JUST BECAUSE OF JUST BECAUSE
YOU WANNA GO OUT AND PRAY
BUT IVE GOT NOTHING TO SAY
I DONT REALLY WANNA LEAVE
CONWAY TWITTYS MAKE BELIEVE"
AM I TOO DARK FOR YOU?
AM I TOO DARK FOR YOU?
SITTING HERE ALL ALONE
ANSWERING THE FAN CLUB PHONE
HORROR FILMS AND NEON LIGHTS
HERES TO BLOODSHOT ALIBIS
FROM THE TOP OF MY RAVEN LAIR
TO THE BODY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIR
MY TASTE IS CHERRY WINE
SLEEPWALKER WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE
PHOTOGRAPHS OF UNSOLVED CRIMES
ALL IN COLOR FOR A DIME
PURPLE PROSE AND NYLON HOSE
COME SEE MY DEAD ROCK STAR POSE
YOU BE MY JOHNNY CASH
I'LL BE YOUR AMPHETAMINE STASH
THIS COULD BE OUR VERY LAST DATE
MIDNIGHT MOVIE MATINEE
YOU BRING WHISKY I BRING LACE
WE'LL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
AM I TOO DARK FOR YOU?
AM I TOO DARK FOR YOU?
SITTING HERE ALL ALONE
ANSWERING THE FAN CLUB PHONE
ONE DAY WHEN IM IN THE GRAVE
AND IVE LOST AT THIS LIVING GAME
ALL THE TREES IN MY SOUL
HAVE BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING BOLTS
I SUDDENLY COME TO LIFE
AND I CAN'T ANALYZE
WHY I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE
THOUGH I KNOW LOVE'S A LIE
AM I TOO DARK FOR YOU?
AM I TOO DARK FOR YOU?
MY BABY BLUE....

“DESENSITIZED”
Listen (mp3)
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN SMALL TALK
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOUR LIPS ARE HIP TO A SOUND
I'M MANIC. IN A PANIC. I CAN'T STAND THE STATIC OF OUR GENUINE LOSS
IT'S TIME TO TAKE THE CAR DOWNTOWN
HIT ME ONE MORE TIME JUST TO WAKE ME UP
SEARCH MY HOUSE FOR MONEY AND GUNS, GUNS, GUNS,
I AIN'T GOT NONE, I AIN'T GOT NONE
IT'S NO LIE, I'M DESENSITIZED TO YOU.
FOLLOWED YOUR VOICE INTO THE MOUTH OF A CAVE
SKULLS OF THE DEAD WHO WERE YOUR SLAVES (PAVING THE WAY)
GUITAR IN MY HAND, GUN TO MY HEAD, I REALLY CAN'T THINK OF NOTHING TO SAY
THEN IT COMES, AN UNCANNY PULL FROM OUTER SPACE
HIT ME ONE MORE TIME JUST TO WAKE ME UP
SEARCH MY HOUSE FOR MONEY AND GUNS, GUNS, GUNS,
I AIN'T GOT NONE, I AIN'T GOT NONE
IT'S NO LIE, I'M DESENSITIZED TO YOU.
YOU GAVE ME A HOLE IN THE HEAD AND A KNIFE IN THE BACK
BUT WALTER AND WENDY CARLOS THEY DON'T LOOK BACK
SO I'M TIRED, I'M BROKE, I'M SICK OF THIS JOKE, I CAN'T EVEN PLAY A SUICIDE NOTE
I'M TIRED, I'M BROKE, I'M SICK OF THIS JOKE, I CAN'T EVEN PLAY A SUICIDE NOTE
HIT ME ONE MORE TIME JUST TO WAKE ME UP
SEARCH MY HOUSE FOR MONEY AND GUNS, GUNS, GUNS,
I AIN'T GOT NONE, I AIN'T GOT NONE
IT'S NO LIE, I'M DESENSITIZED TO YOU

"SISTER FIFTY FEET"
Listen (mp3)
I TOOK A WALK
BY THE PLACES WE FOUGHT
AIRWAYS AND LAMAR STOOD IN OUR WAY
WE STARTED OUT THE SAME SIZE
NOW YOU REACH FOR THE SKY
WAS IT ME OR SOCIETY THAT MADE HER CHANGE?
I GOT A SISTER FIFTY FEET
WALKING BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET
CRUSHING PEOPLE THAT SHE MEETS
LISTEN TO THE RADIO
JUST TO SEE WHERE SHE GOES
OOH YOU KNOW AN ATOM BOMB JUST GONNA MAKE HER MAD
SHE'S JUST LOOKING FOR FRIENDS
BUT THAT'S TOO MUCH ESTROGEN
IN THE RAIN I SEE A FIFTY FOOT TALL GIRL GANG
I GOT A SISTER FIFTY FEET
WALKING BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET
CRUSHING PEOPLE THAT SHE MEETS
SHE'S TOO BIG FOR A PHONE
SO I GOT A SKELETONE
I SAID BABY BABY BABY YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME
LET ME SHOW YOU WHO TO KILL
AND WHERE TO SEND THE BILL
OOH WE CAN HOLD THIS CITY IN THE PALM OF OUR HAND
I GOT A SISTER FIFTY FEET
WALKING BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET
CRUSHING PEOPLE THAT SHE MEETS
PLEASE DONT CRUSH ME WHEN YOU WALK AWAY
