Do You Believe In Rapture? lyrics

stand behind his drunken amp
stand behind his light of love
hear him yowl his bloody tounge
hear him yell 4 blood and war
ch:
do you believe in his sweet sensation
do you believe in second chance
do you believe in rapture babe

a terrible hit strikes today
a terrible hit for the parade
burnin' eyes seek jesus comin
jesus comes to pave the way
(ch)
can you tell me what to feel

Incinerate lyrics

I ripped your heart out from your chest
Replaced it with a grenade blast

Incinerate (4x)

The firefighters hose me down
I don't care, I'll burn out anyhow
It's four-alarm girl, nothing to see
I hear the sirens come for me

You dosed my soul with gasoline
You flicked a match into my brain

Incinerate (4x)

The firefighters are so nice
I remember you so cold as ice

Jams Run Free lyrics

BLASTED EARTH
OM IMMERSED
GOLD IN CAVE
THE BLONDES COME FIRST
I LOVE THE WAY YOU MOVE
I HOPE ITS NOT TOO LATE
FOR ME
ITS TOO GOOD
ON THIS SEA
WHERE THE LIGHT
IS GREEN
WHERE THE LIGHT
IS GREEN
JAGGED BRAIN
SLOW REFRAIN
WE LOVE THE JAMS
AND BLACK RUNS FREE
I LOVE THE WAY YOU MOVE
I HOPE ITS NOT TOO LATE
FOR ME
ITS TOO GOOD
ON THIS SEA
WHERE THE LIGHT
IS GREEN
WHERE THE LIGHT
IS GREEN

Lights Out lyrics

she scans the room
for a star to consume
when eye contact is made
i suggest son you fix yr grave
ch:
its lights out for you
lights out for you
theres not a hell of a lot you can do
its lights out for you

he rolls his eyes
at the thought of paradise
but when he makes that insect sound
then its time girl for you to leave town
(ch)
1st verse/ch repeat

Or lyrics

in yr mouth a wad of cash
moist roll of hundreds
fingers thru yr hair
silver quarters drop
to yr pleated skirt
cannisters of whipped cream
in yr sweater pockets
a look of space and total life
ready or not
the plan is to go to dc and hang out
go see girls rock
how long's the tour?
what time you guys playing?
where you going next?
what comes first,
the music or the words?

Pink Steam lyrics

i just come by to run you over
i just come by to see you quiver
you can come you can slip inside babe
killer eyes and a burnin heart babe
don't you know you need no other
i'm the man who loves you mother
open up your arms to me girl
let me feel your wild heart beat girl
sweet lips flowers + cream
deep in love surrender pink steam
deep in love you need no other
deep in love yr lonely lover

Rats lyrics

V1
when the rats run riot
and the screen door slams
when the trees grow quiet
nothing but cats and cans
when the breeze says 'try it'
but you can't hardly see
when yr love has died
and you rat on me
BR1
I see yr eyes in the half light
I see the number on yr wall
endless strange things I see at night
you don't see anything at all
CH1
shine a light into yr soul
city streets so freezing cold

Reena lyrics

You keep me comin home again
You keep me comin home again
When you were gone,
I met a friend
She taught me how to
live in the end
Are her eyes
brown or blue?
How does she keep her
static cool
My heart and soul
are rocked up in her eyes
a little blink I recognize
A little blink, yea, that's my prize
A white horse
sittin right there by her side
hard to ignore
hard to disguise
she'll never ever

Sleeping Around lyrics

sleepin around sleepin around
what will the neighbors say
sleepin around all over town
what will the neighbors say
ch:
what you did was wrong
what did you good is gone
nothing you do is right
always ends up in a fight

sleepin around sleepin around
what will the neighbors do
sleepin around all over town
what will the neighbors do
(ch)
sleepin around sleepin around
what will the neighbors think

The Neutral lyrics

He's not a dreamer or a schemer,
running away from me
He's not a singer, an entertainer
with no follow thru
He's not a poet or a mystic
with his cgarette unglued
He just neutral, and he's weary
not even brand new.
It's a perfect sin
close yr eyes and loose the rest
It's a perfect sin
close yr mind and feel the best
Everyone has a headache
imprecise , hard to cure
Got a shake it, what ails you

Turqoise Boy lyrics

Turquoise boy I must confess to you
sweet liberation has come
you are a legend in a lovely game
but now I feel I must run
turquoise boy the sky is calling me
sweet isolation in the sun
you are a soldier in a sad charade
how can you lose whats never found

What A Waste lyrics

Hey gimme hollow stimulation
Its so sleazy to be free
Lets invest in dull creation
Thrill city cheap legacy
What a waste
Yr so chaste
I can't wait
To taste yr face
vapid signals lead me to you
a sublime spectacular dud
safe and sound from chatter confusion
get the picture yes it's clear as mud
