Sex Gun
And I fall down
Every time I see you
Every time you come around
And I can’t see
Your body is so blinding
Eyes flash like lightning for me
She’s brighter than the sun
She’s colder than Antarctica
The devil woman, she comes
To blow my heart away with her sex gun
And I can’t breathe
She’s spilling out my blood
Spinning me into a tizzy
And you can’t cum
She’s aching for the pain
One thing left to gain some relief
She’s brighter than the sun
She’s colder than Antarctica
The devil woman, she comes
To blow my heart away with her sex gun
Forces
Dig into your heart
Excavate your soul
Find the light inside
Filter through your mind
For fire in your eyes
Fortify your world
The one thing I know, we reap what we sow
But forces we can’t control, we have to let go
And if I’m gonna lose myself, don’t try to console
They’re just forces we can’t control, no we can’t control
And I try to see
Exactly the same thing
But your red is blue for me
And I can’t get it right
I try to let it slide
I’m trembling underneath
The one thing I know, we reap what we sow
But forces we can’t control, we have to let go
And if I’m gonna lose myself, don’t try to console
They’re just forces we can’t control, no we can’t control
And I don’t know why we battle through
We battle through … we battle through
When there is nothing that we can do
No, oh, no
The one thing I know, we reap what we sow
But forces we can’t control, we have to let go
And if I’m gonna lose myself, don’t try to console me
They’re just forces we can’t control, no we can’t control
Microlove
Microlove … one milionth of the love we share
Could get us through anything including this
I know it’s terrifying
I know it’s not your path
But I have to follow my own
At this crossroads I will say
Though it breaks my heart
I will say
You don’t need to follow me back home
You don’t need to follow me back home
But I’d love if you did
The sunrise silhouetting trees in the southern sky
It’s the time that shows us all our fears
Tears that we’ve shed
I know it’s terrifying
I know it’s not your path
But I have to follow my own
At this crossroads I will say,
Though it breaks my heart,
I will say
You don’t need to follow me back home
You don’t need to follow me back home
But I’d love if you did
Ya I’d love if you did
Ya I’d love if you did
Ya I’d love if you did
There There (by Radiohead)
In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just cause you feel it, doesn’t mean it’s there
Just cause you feel it, doesn’t mean it’s there
There’s always a siren singing you to shipwreck
(don’t reach out, don’t reach out)
Steer away from these rocks, you’ll be a walking disaster
(don’t reach out, don’t reach out)
Just cause you feel it, doesn’t mean it’s there
(someone’s on your shoulder, someone’s on your shoulder)
Just cause you feel it, doesn’t mean it’s there
(someone’s on your shoulder, someone’s on your shoulder)
There There
And why so green and lonely?
And lonely? And lonely?
Heaven sent you to me
To me. To me.
And heaven sent you to me
To me. To me.
Cuz we’re all accidents waiting
Waiting, to happen
Love at 16
I followed you home to watch you undress
But I didn’t know that I would be such a mess
And now I’m alone with nowhere to go
I’ve ruined it all and got what I deserved
Cause I fucked you in time out of mind
Yeah I fucked you
You wanted the same, still feel the pain
To hold it inside, slowly go insane
But I’ll be ok, crazy or no
Yeah I’ll be ok if I can just let go
Cause I fucked you in time out of mind
Yeah I fucked you
It was love at 16
Just love at 16
Say goodbye to your childish dreams
They’re buried now beneath the sea
A grownup’s game our reality
To stay the night but then have to leave
No, no, no
