Holding hands Skipping like a stone On our way To see what we have done The first to speak Is the first to lie The children cross Their hearts and hope to die Bite your tongue Swear to keep your mouth shut Ask yourself Will I burn in hell Then write it down And cast it in the well There they are The mob, it cries for blood To twist the tale Into firewood Fan the flames With a little lie Then turn your cheek Until the fire dies The skin, it peels Like the truth, away What it was I will never say Bite your tongue, swear to keep Keep your mouth shut Make up something, make up something good Holding hands Skipping like a stone Burn the witch Burn to ash and bone Burn the witch Burn to ash and bone Burn the witch Burn to ash and bone

Once you're lost In twilight's blue You don't find your way The way finds you Tempt the fates Beware the smile It hides all the teeth, my dear And what's behind them So glad you could stay forever So glad you could stay forever So glad you could stay forever So glad you could stay forever He steps between the trees A crooked man There's blood on the blade Don't take his hand You warm by the firelight In twilight's blue Shadows creep and dance the walls He's creeping too So glad you could stay forever So glad you could stay forever So glad you could stay forever So glad you could stay forever So glad you could stay So glad you could So glad, so glad you could stay So glad you could stay

I don't care what the people say If you gotta knock, then go away Oh, fears, ideas, they grow like a weed Used to wash my brain, but dirty thoughts just came and came No time in life for shit Spoonful by the pound, ain't having it Do you practice to preach or pretend to be? You a tiger, a trash can, royalty? Don't care what the people say Going deaf deliberately And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round And the shepherd sleeps while the blood seeps into the ground On the outskirts of town where the headlights bleed Oh, Teen Angels in tangles I don't care if the people grow They all say done did doesn't make it so That school or a prison? Looks same to me I got one eye open and one hand free I don't care what the people know The world's gonna end in a month or so You may run the institutional learning facility But you don't run her, and you don't run me I don't care what the people say Got a tip for your trip, cop stopping me And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round And the shepherd sleeps while the blood seeps into the ground On the outskirts of town where the headlights bleed Oh, Teen Angels Tonight is the night The kids are taking you to school Tonight is the night Setting fires, breaking the rules Tonight is the night You ain't who we answer to Tonight is the night You ain't so fucking cool We got our eye on you And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round Tonight is the night The kids are taking you to school Well, tonight is the night So what you gonna do? Tonight is the night Setting fires, breaking the rules Well, tonight is the night Future tripping, skipping school Tonight is the night You ain't who we answer to Tonight is the night The tables gonna turn on you We got our eye on you

The sky is falling Human race that we run Is left me crawling Staring straight at the sun Only a moment I notice Every dog has his day I paid attention Cost me so much to today For so long I saw only wrong But now to remind It's a waste of time Close your eyes And see the skies are falling Close your eyes And see the skies are falling I wanted something Nothing blank I don't know It's all deflecting Stones are easy to throw Only a moment I notice Hours, days left behind Of wasted, useless Selfless, none of a kind For so long I saw only wrong But now to remind Not to go back to the low That has drained my life so low That has drained my life so low That has drained my life so low That has drained my Close your eyes And see the skies are falling Close your eyes And see the skies are falling Close your eyes And see the skies are falling Close your eyes And see the skies are falling Close your eyes And see the skies are falling Close your eyes And see the skies are falling Close your eyes And see the skies are falling Close your eyes And see the skies are falling

It worries me this kind of thing How you hope to live alone And occupy your waking hours We're taking sides again I just wept I couldn't understand Why you started this again And every day you send me more It makes it worse is this a plan of yours To ensure I don't forget I'd write and tell you that I've burnt them all But you never send me your address And I've, I've kept them anyway So don't ask me if I think it's true That communication can bring hope to those Who have gone their separate ways It hardly touched me when it should have then But memories are uncertain friends When recalled by messages Coded messages Poison letters
