Trinket
She's like Armageddon
She's so nuclear
She's got the four horsemen, yeah
Ride on baby, ride on now
She takes fascination to new elevations
She's the latest rage and the greatest sensation
And she's everything to me, yeah yeah
She goes Boom Boom Boom
I go crazy crazy
She goes Boom Boom Boom
She annihilates me
She's apocalyptic
Existential too
She quotes the Baghavad Gita
Dream on baby, dream on now
She gives a slight transfusion to my confusion
It's all smoke and mirrors and grand illusions
And she's everything to me, yeah yeah
And she's everything to me, yeah yeah
She's everything to me
Fresh haircuts and big city scenery
Bright lights illumine illicit dreams
Expensive hearts and car alarms
Just to show the material boys
You'll not settle for second best
When you're done you can have the rest
It's sad but true
We'll get over you
You take your chances
Fashion conscience fading
If you've seen it all under the disco ball
Now you've got your bases covered and all
What will you do when your daddy
Can't afford for you to have fun
Welcome back to the real world
When your dancing days are done
You were so cute at the photo shoot
Now you're overexposed with nothing to do
Under the microscope you're the talk of the town
Now it's not enough
It's amazing what you learn to put up with
I call it bad luck
I let you go
A little too soon
Shoulda' said something to make you stay
I gave up
I shoulda' gave in
Now I'm longing for yesterday
Doo-doo-doo...
I'm shedding my skin
Losing my faith
Trying not to feel
Like I'm fading away
Shedding my skin
Am I too late to say
I'm nothing without you
Now that you're gone
I'm nowhere
Every corner I turn I hope you're there
I know I was wrong
You were right to leave
Wishin' there was something I could do to bring you back to me
Doo-doo-doo...
Tonight we're gonna make it
Tonight I'm gonna take you down
Down to the quick where I watch you stick
With the strangers underground
You got all the moves, you know what to do
I can feel the temptation to touch you
I can't believe you're dancing with me
I feel like I could fly
Superhuman
I feel like I could fly
Superhuman
Spinning in the mix
You're always one to bring the fun
Flashing in the lights, you live your life
Like the morning will never come
You got all the moves, I got nothing to lose
I can feel the temptation to touch you
And I can't believe you're dancing with me
And I can't believe you're dancing with me
No I can't believe you're dancing
It's so heartbreaking, watching your heroes fall
Yeah, you know, how you love your whipping boys
I've seen your evil around your town
I keep a steady hand
In the loudest noise
There's a thing you might call coolness
And you got it all over you
Seeing things as some just stare
Of course you know, so never mind
What do you say we sleep 'til Thursday
And push away the rest of the world
Panic and pleasure have all come together
Just stop laughing
And soon I'll be scarred
So simple and sure
I just want to be pure
And find myself
Where I once was before
So simple and sure
I just want to be pure
Kinda funny
After all I've said and done
You wanna know
Why I feel this way
Why even ask?
Just look at my face
I never meant to hurt you
When you came across the room
You know I was scared
I couldn't get close to you
Had to draw the line
Cause only the strong survive
I never meant to touch you that way
It was written all over your face
You had no plans to say
"Goodbye, my love, I lost my pride"
You know I wasn't good at saying goodbye
I never even lied to you
Draw the line
I never meant to cut you
There was blood all over my
Hands that had prayed to God
Most every day
You know I missed a few
Bug baby, I bet you did, now I bet you did too
I never said I loved you
Draw the line
You didn't resist
A little at first
Your were late, not a minute too soon
You know who you are
You need no proof
I didn't exist
I was only there to comfort you
You know who you are
Draw the line
Don't think of me, don't talk to me
Don't fool yourself, I don't want to know
Who you are
Fantasize with me, don't remember me
Two steps ahead, that's how I get
What I want
As I walk these halls
And in shopping malls
Looks can be deceiving
Deceiver
No don't stop, no just wait
I never stop to hesitate
Now this life is never so demanding
As it seems you stop to think so seriously
Of my intentions
As I make my mark
On the talent charts
I prove to be appealing
And as I stake my claim
Am I insane or just a good liar?
Deceiver
Never saw this coming
Not in a million years
Without reservations
We all learn to adhere
Not looking for trouble
Maybe we look the same
Once we had nothing
But now we have everything
So as the sun slides through our blinds
We better hide our eyes
Not looking for anything you better believe
We're gonna find
Gotta keep it coming even if the sky isn't clear
Without reservations
Not even in a million years
We leave you behind
Still we better progress
The longer you wait
The further away we get
Sooner or later
And against all odds
For lack of better words
We found a new motivation
Maybe it's luck
Maybe a twist of fate
Somehow it's hard to believe
Now we can't relate
Now even the clouds themselves
Can drag us down
Still stuck on this emotion
Still stuck in the same old town
I'm smarter than you think
I'll fuck you 'til you think I'm interesting
Everything you know it will turn black
And everyone you know will turn their backs
From you to me
No way out of it this time
Anything you want is already mine
My kiss, the sting of a bumblebee
Or better for worse
Now how do you feel when I'm inside of you?
With your hands in the air
You hate how everyone stares
But no one gets the picture
Move! Don't just stop with a glare
Move! 'Till you touch and I'll take you there
I can't put my finger on why you like it
And it seems as if you like to talk about it
Love is learned. Obsession is a gift
You know I'm destined to be a star
Nothing will get in my way
To be a star
Take me to the top
And then you throw me over
The diary of a young man
Once again taken to the edge
You take what you've got
Because you fake what you feel
And the sky's no limit
You're just sinking to another level
Understand
Wait for the change you are unafraid
There's nothing left
You are unbehaved
And yet you have so much beauty
I refuse to rid myself
Spiritualized when I bought the lies
Now I just can't pretend
To be anywhere else
And if the sky's no limit
I won't be sinking to your level
Not again, no, never again
Shake to the sounds and take in the sights
It's all made for you to buy
You won't change
You are unbehaved
There's nothing left
You do what it takes
Wait for the change
You are unafraid
There's nothing left
Except the daze, unbehaved
Everybody is here
Trade for my wage
Without a career
And I won't apologize
That I can't be defined
Boyfriend or girlfriend
What we have
Doesn't make us men
And magazines
They tell me things
My throwaway culture
Begins and quickly ends
Living like this is almost my choice
Limited but far from unaware
Fashion stands as a history
These feelings I never wanted to wear
Patiently
Or resignated
We confront where it is we are
The time has passed us long ago
To understand our era
Remains a curse
Spilling Beaujolais
All over your place
My God, it's so hard to be charming
And no, you don't know
The first thing about my life
I give it to you so you give it a try
Over your head and out of my hands
Falling down
So far from home
Took a long time
To get this high
I give it to you so you give it a try
Romantic melodies
Make up for the tragedies
That you keep inside
Just sell the show and hope you survive
Falling down so far from home
And capture the light in a burgundy shine
Keep your head spinning
So sublime
Capture the light, capture the light
In a fine, fine burgundy shine
Staring at the eyes
That shine at night
Can't keep away from the falling stars
Hit it on time, you were in your prime
I give it to you so you give it a try
Spilling Beaujolais
All over your place
My God, it's so hard to be charming
You've got the glam
Riding in your pocket
Townie after townie
Knocking 'em down
Yeah, I'm in love
With a rock and roll girl
I know it's going to be
A long, long time
Self-subconscious security
Taking it down
In the way you walk
What you have is in my head
And I remember
Every single thing you've said
Do what you do, I'm watching you
Keeping ideas
Everything's alright
And if my last name was Jones
I'd already be home
And I'd haunt Pallenberg
Every night
I wear your kiss with surprising pride
I lead you through the crowd screaming out loud
Yeah, I'm in love with a rock and roll girl
I know it's going to be
A long, long time
Hit the fall in stride
Knowing where to go
Finding out in time
What we need to know
Letters posted to old addresses
Looking for the same words
There's no need for a reason
To celebrate anyway
We've got a secret
We keep to ourselves
Hide away, bruise-violet days
When she's at her worst
She still turns me on
Hide away, bruise-violet days
Like a house on fire
We destroy our past
Better than before
Maybe this could last
And if it's raining
Let it come down now
