Gold Star 03:27
Gold Star ----------- Singer seize the melodies and find a friendly ear Sonic fist and you exist on candy bars and beer To sleep so little To burn so bright To be so hopeful I can feel it coming closer Every time they mic ya Gold star and a smack across your mouth Because I like ya Industry and MTV and California heat When you float you'll rock the boat and never miss a beat To bash so blistered To run so fast To cook so clever I can feel it coming closer Every time they mic ya Gold star and a smack across your mouth Because I like ya I can feel it coming closer I ain't gonna psyche ya It may be a leathal doser Hey yeah I can feel it coming closer Every time they mic ya Gold star and a smack across your mouth Because I like ya I can feel it (I can feel it) I can feel it (I can feel it) I can feel it (I can feel it) Yeah... Yeah... Yeah... Yeah... yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhhhhh!!!

I'm Just Asking ------------------ Death on your breath my little dragon lass Kill with your iron will and none shall pass You don't bother mourning as we reach the end Shame how you flame and eat your one true friend What are you on What do you want Coldest condolences to Mister S. You ran from yourself and me to him I guess So act how you act and leave me open-jawed Follow your thrill and call it "will of God" What are you on What do you want Cut me open halt my hoping Burning on my bed I bawl Soul still bleeding wrongs repeating Wallowing where maggots crawl Every day is dark... Dear you, you finally got your big ideal Sad your reality's just what you feel Pirate and plunder I've no more to lose Love, the tortured voice of all the boys you use What are you on What do you want What are you on Cut me open halt my hoping Burning on my bed I bawl Soul still bleeding wrongs repeating Wallowing where maggots crawl (What are you on) Cut me open halt my hoping Burning on my bed I bawl (What do you want) How I miss you how I miss you Curse and kiss you baby doll Every day...

The Gift 03:43
The Gift --------- Lost in an empty head Rung up emergency for the living dead I heard my life in a shell I knew you would meet me where I fell And now I can feel you everywhere Coming over every wall Free for all Richer than any millionaire And I'm feeling ten feet tall Free for all Tossed in the twisted towel Faded the frequencies the hell hounds howl Bad razor bounced off my wrist For love of a redhead girl I kissed And now I can feel you everywhere Coming over every wall Free for all Richer than any millionaire And I'm feeling ten feet tall Free for all Now I can feel you everywhere Man I can feel you everywhere And now I can feel you everywhere Coming over every wall Free for all Richer than any millionaire Even if I take a fall Free for all

Sour Grapes 03:04
Sour Grapes --------------- Tore through the pages of Spin Magazine In my car You were goofing with some or other Valenteen scene star But nothing ever happens (Nothing ever happens) Who's to say it will (It will) A dying dream to keep alive And now its time to kill Can you forgive me for my need to make You bleed I been working so hard just to get a break Succeed But nothing ever happens (Nothing ever happens) Who's to say it will (It will) A dying dream to keep alive And now its time to kill Nothing ever happens (Nothing ever happens) Who's to say it will A dying dream to keep alive And now it's time... Kill... Kill... KILL!!! KILL!!! KILL!!! KIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

Midnight Generation ------------------------ First it was the brawls and then the bombs Cuz you're paying every day but the debt goes on Were you bleed out your eyes to be first or last Did you hide behind the couch when the school bus passed You golden coward Beg forgiveness Get your witness On and on those Thoughts and patterns Leave you scattered Goodnight midnight generation Goodnight Hammering the judge for all your nails As your bent fat finger flips off free bail And the wicked witch wind tells your restless mind That you'd be better off if you just flatline Oh silver needle Stings for comfort Slakes off some hurt Blood spits back and Fifth for pleasure Trial and treasure Goodnight midnight generation Sleep tight all you kids Last flight midnight generation He's all there is You will not get out alive That's the brutal truth But don't let your struggle to survive Steal away your youth Take it back Take it back Take it back for me yeah Take it back Take it back Take it back for me Take it back Take it back Take it back for me Castaway don't let them Grey your heart

Phantom Limb 02:31
Phantom Limb ----------------- Baby you're clay Or you're paper mache A liquid lover You'll take the shape Of anyone you must To get love But after the make He'll be crushed in your wake And you'll feel nothing You'll move right along And he'll weep His song Punishing reactions to imaginings Polishing your plates of pretty promise rings Cuz promises are just these Silly things And I must have some nerve To expect or deserve A happy ending (What happened?)
