Veruca Salt - Eight Arms To Hold You
You sleep better when you're
You eat better when you're
You sing better when you're
You need me more when you're straight
Is this the weekend?
Is that your girlfriend?
She's green and innocent
You smoke her just like she's incense
You smile (3 x's)
Stay straight for me (2 x's)
I'll wait 'till summer's over
I'll love you through October
I'll give you everything
I'll trade you anything for her
Stay straight for me (3 x's)
Leave me
Lying here
Cause I don't wanna go
Tell me tell me what you really want from me
You've got me let me know
I'm falling off and I need you terribly
One down and one to go
Volcano girls we really can't be beat
Warm us up and watch us blow
But now and then we fail and we admit defeat
We're falling off we are watered down and fully grown
Leave me
Lying here
Cause I don't wanna go
A million miles of running and I hit the wall
I bounce back and I run some more
But this is it, I'm giving up, I'm calling quits
So get down and meet me on the floor
Way to go to flip off everyone
I steal your thunder then I try to bolt
But I could stand a little pity now and then
I'm falling off I am watered down and fully grown
I told you 'bout the seether before
You know, the one that's neither or nor
Well here's another clue if you please
the seether's Louise
Leave me
Lying here
Cause I don't wanna go
Go I don't wanna go I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
Zero one two three
four days without you
Eight nine
Now we're five times two (3 x's)
Words won't do
Words don't do it
They can't stay true
Words won't get me through it
honey please
Seize me I know what I need
Plan B
Some security (3 x's)
Words won't do
Words don't do it
They can't stay true
Words won't get me through it
Don't make me prove it
In the heat of the waiting
When I'm starting to stall
I can see what you're saying
But I don't hear you at all (6 x's)
Words won't do
Words don't do it
They can't stay true
Words won't get me through it
Don't make me prove it
Goodbye twenty-five
You were a good year for the girls
Goodbye twenty-five
You'll be the goldfinch I'm the harpies
There's something in unity forget humility
What's coming over me is awesome
God forgive me
I know it's so awesome
Heaven help me
I know it's a fine place to be
Goodbye indolence your filthy left hand kept me down
Goodbye cowardice
You'll be the Tigris I'm Euphrates
There's something in unity forget humility
What's coming over me is awesome
God forgive me
I know it's so awesome
Heaven help me
I know it's a fine place to be
There's something in unity
What's coming over me go fuck humility
We're awesome all the salts go
I know it's so awesome everybody
I know it's a fine place to be
I wind you up then I wait here for the melancholy
I give you up while you sit here in all your glory
I never thought you would
I never knew you could
But now you're gone and I don't think I care
I sold your love down the river for a bow and arrow
Euphoria has just been here and she's looking terrible
I've never sunk this low
It's better if you go
When you're nearby
I see you and want you to try
To love me like a monster
One last time
Control me like a father
One last time
Stay with me 'til I'm stronger
One last round
To kick me when i'm down
Don't kick me when I'm down
I never thought you would
I never understood
And that's why I'm weak and i want you to try
To make me an example
One last time
To drag me through the cycle
One last time
To make me a disciple
One last round
Will get me to the ground
You'll get me on the ground
I'll see you around
Yeah I'll see you around
One last town
And I'll see you around
Yeah I'll see you around
Will it ever come like it did for you?
I kind of heard you singing and I never knew
No, I never knew
My heart skips around when I hear the sound
I'm never alone 'cause you're following me home
I'm falling in love my walkman
And me with David Bowie with teenage medication flowing through my veins
I can face the strain it's causing a sensation that I can explain
Yeah, I can explain
My heart skips around when I hear the sound
I'm never alone 'cause you're following me home
I'm falling in love my walkman
And me with David Bowie
You want me to sing - I can! I can!
You want me to play - I can! I can!
You want to be in a band, I can
I'll never be anything more than I was today
Will it ever come like it did for you?
I kind of heard you singing and I never knew
No, I never knew
My heart skips around when I hear the sound
I'm never alone 'cause you're following me home
I'm falling in love my walkman
And me with David Bowie
Him and me in a tree i-n-g
Take me away
I know I could use the rest
I want to clear up this mess
I need a few days with my good sense
I need a few good days
Benjamin
No
Ohh
Benjamin
No
Ohh
Benjamin
No
Where did you go?
When you were falling from my tree
I was not scared
I thought you'd meet me back up there
It never dawned on me you were home free
It never dawned on me
Benjamin
No
Ohh
Benjamin
No
Ohh
Benjamin
No
Where did you go?
You said that I could tie you down
It's freezing in Bristol
There's love on the telly
A girl grinning at me
She's doing the shimmy
And she's cool
And she's skinny
And she's a fool
For the last living rock king
It's her thrill it's her wonder
It's her will it's her way home
She's right where she always wanted to be
She can't change, change change
It's lightning in London (It's lightning in London)
There's shit on the telly (There's shit on TV)
You're pushing my buttons (You're pushing my buttons)
You know how to touch me
And I knew
That you'd choose me
By the times
That you tried to refuse me
It's your thrill it's your wonder
It's your will it's your way home
You're right where you always wanted to be
You can't change, change, change
It's morning in Philly (It's morning in Philly)
My head's feeling heavy (My head's feeling heavy)
The sun makes me dizzy (The sun makes me sick)
You monkey you left me
And I know that you miss me
By the way that you kiss and resist me
It's my thrill it's my wonder
It's my will it's my way home
I'm right where I always dreamed I would be
I can't change, change, change
Wake up and talk to me
It's a long time since last night
I know we said the saddest things and I'm not sure it was wise
But when the morning's sad you don't look back
Though you sure don't look ahead
The morning sad you know the morning sad
The morning sad never had it so bad
I'm writing desperate songs while you're fast asleep
Inside I could try to sing until it rings but my voice comes out uptight
'Cause when the morning's sad you don't relax
No, you cannot clear your mind
The morning sad you know the morning sad
The morning sad never had it so bad
I tried a little
I tried a lot
I'm not a window and you've seen through everything I've got
I don't think I'll be safe until everyone's awake
So wake up and talk to me
It's a long time since last night
I know we said the maddest things and I'm not sure who was right
See when the morning's sad you don't attack 'cause you're much too weak to fight
The morning sad you know the morning sad
The morning sad never had it so bad
Never had it so bad
I found a place where we can talk
I found a way to reach a middle ground
Keep your castle in my sandbox
Build it up so we can burn it down
Anyway I love my man
Love to keep him spinning round and round
Keep him feeding love from my hands
Anyway to turn him inside out
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell,
The sound of the bell, the sound of the bell
Meet me up and down again
Everytime is sweeter than the last
Once you get a taste of impact
You're always hungry for the crash
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
The sound of the bell, the sound of the bell
And this is everything
I have loved yeah I have loved
Down I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
The sound of the bell, the sound of the bell
Down I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
The sound of the bell, the sound of the bell
I don't wanna be found in the searchlight
I don't wanna be dim like a nightlight
When you've had enough
When you've got it bad enough and you can't let go
When it comes to blows
And you start to overflow
And you can't get home
It's a subtle kind of cruel
It taps my spine here
I'm drawing a line
I'm asking please
Don't you want to be happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've got to try
December's all alone and he's calling me on the phone
But he sounds so cold
He says he loves me so
But how would I ever know?
Certain words grow old
It's a vicious kind of catch
It sides me blind now
I'm out of my mind
I want to scream
Don't you want to be happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've got to try
Love liked me long ago
It had a way of making everyone the same
But now the angels must laugh and sigh
To hear me pleading with you
Needing this you this way
Oh why don't you want to be happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon I'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
You've got to try to stay mine all the way
You didn't notice I was gone
Guess you were tying up your arm
And when I stand on my head you never react
I can't get you to crack not one fucking smile
But when it comes right down to it, I'm gonna run right back to him
I wanna be smack dab with him
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love it
A snakey goddess
Got my man that kind of love
Don't understand him
And when I swallow my gum you never react
I can't get you to crack not one fucking smile
But when it comes right down to it, I'm gonna run right back to him
I wanna be smack dab with him
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love it
Swallow hard until you
I'll be the one to thrill you
I'll be the first to kill you
And if you won't die I will
When I short sheet the bed you never react
I can't get you to crack not one fucking smile
But when it comes right down to it, I'm gonna run right back to him
I wanna be smack dab with him
I've grown to love his stoneface so
I've grown to love it
Waiting for opportunity to strike
I have been your biggest fan
What a tour a little blow to cure your fight
It's what it takes to trap a man
Water me I am not a desert plant
And there was life before you
When I close will I wear my blue eyes when I open
This time when I close or should I wear my green eyes when I open that shine and shine
When I close will I wear my blue eyes when I open
I love you (4 x's)
In my room underneath the microscope
I remember how it felt
I thought you knew I was always full of hope
But you could only help yourself
When I close will I wear my blue eyes when I open
This time when I close or should I wear my green eyes when I open that shine and shine
When I close will I wear my blue eyes when I open
I love you (4 x's)
When I close will I wear my blue eyes when I open...
Sleep little flea
Little boy
Me a freak
Am I clean?
I feel like men
I feel like boys
I think I'm peeling the ringing in my ears from playing too loud
I hear the ocean
I hear the crowd
I'm disconnected
I am unattached
An unmade bed makes me feel like a failure
Bedroom eyes lead to blurry vision
And the ringing in my ears from playing too loud
I hear the ocean
I hear the crowd
Too pale
Too sick
Too scrawny
But I'll sleep here anyway
And the sheets smell like bodies
Not mine
Not yours
It's two a.m. and it's quiet again
Where's my lip gloss?
