Naked in the bathtub Sittin' on the porcelain Waiting for that little hurricane to pull your torso in The water don't run, just drips like rain Still drips like a painkiller drips to the veins Fill it up With a bag of that happy stuff Cuz the way she runs out, you can tell she ain't had enough Good times goddess My goodness Got finger nail polish autopilot foot prints With a smile that's stitched to the fabric of bedtime tales and Keep them kids out of the attic The mouth of madness Loud and manic The motive of the bird holding south on the atlas Picture a hole Put your hero in Envision the gold Now zero in Been watching your night train track for the last few stops With no desire to hop it How did we end up in your apartment Pocket full of gossip says this ain't smart When it's all said and done, can't get restart But I'll be damned if I don't wanna kiss you-- Hard (Chorus) Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you I've got a restraining order Against Satan's daughter And I keep it at the bottom of this Jameson and water And when we get there You can sit there and stare From behind your mascara and your thick hair I'm aware of that pain you harbor The same negative game to the names you martyr Apart from the details and substance and whatnot That hunger of love pistol and gut rot Bloodshot Give me one shot, my shot Hopped up on enough talk to make time stop The lines of chalk that benjamin might cop Killed the illustrations on the neighborhood sidewalks Then all of a sudden she got silent Pupils like marbles, hide behind the eyelids Get away sticks go limping hole place The smile sucked up most of her face Truly you beat the scene so surreal And each criticism becomes redeemed Swallow my words No more judgment it's true Cuz you look like what I feel like when I'm with you Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you

She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. Into her heart, into her heart she's waiting. She told me I must hold onto the mo-oment. And when the moments over I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone And like a bird, yes like a bird, she'll fly away. She never said, she never said she'd stay here. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that ship to come. I cannot fight, I cannot fight the ocean, all alone (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. Now kiss me on, now kiss me on my broken wings. Don't leave me here, don't leave me in the water. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. And when the rain comes down I will be washed away. I hope, I hope we meet again. I want, I want to hold you again. I hope, I hope we meet again. I'll know, I'll know until the end. I'll be all aloooone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone.

The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air You know it's funny how the people say the world is changed, It's like: Saying that stranger's a kind of strange It's like: Saying that water is kind of wet It's like: Saying that Elvis is kind of dead It's evident to anyone with half a brain that things change, That's why books have more than one page, That's why, me and my grandfather aren't the same age, That's why New Kids On The Block thery're not rockin' on Triple-J But, the more things change, the more they stay the same Same old girls, same wars, same games Sure, there's climate change, and there's terrorists and AIDS But we used to have the nazis And now it's was way way way worse But things get bad, then get better, Before I started eating bree, I used to eat cheddar The world is always gonna change, only love stays the same, Like I say in the refrain The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air When I died, I got them to cryogenically freeze me Believe me, it cost four million, that's cheap To see the future, see infinity, I thought that I had proven the truth of man's divinity But I discovered, I was poor like a chimney sweep, The richest man is just a tramp in the scheme of things Up there in the future, it wasn't much fun, Just a bunch of frozen businessman dreaming of a refund "Gimme back my money" They were yellin', Calling for the manager They were used to those credit card advantages But MasterCard can't change the past, can it? No kind of plastic is worth shit on a dead planet The whole place was cold like you wouldn't believe Just dead rocks in a dried up sea Just like time gone by Just like five fuckin' billion BC The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air Instrumental The meek shall inherit the earth, they're fine Don't have to fight for that shit Just have to bide your time Keep quiet, don't write any rhymes if you can help it 'Cos I'm sure god favors the silent, not the violent, Maybe the vibrant, definitely firemen Maybe the prime mister if he sticks to his assignment To lead wisely and not be divisive And while I'm on the subject, God, can you make him bring back human rights All right, fine, this is not a diatribe Just an ordinary rhyme about extraordinary times Hey, digital natives, on the love super highway You come my way leave e-mails and just fly away How good's that? I guess it's not all bad Crap, shit, fuck! We can still make positive tracks, Cut them on wax, under the full moon, Bury 'em for a month, And deep fry that to make, to make beats fat Fatter in batter, that's my motto, Like Specto said: back to mono, before he went loco Chatter for chatters sake that's the game, So I write rhymes that don't nessecerely mean a thing Sometimes, but this time I write a rhyme I can't deny I lie awake at night and recite the diatribe I'm alive and inspired to write rhymes or die tryin'. The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air
