Ride The Cage
03:30
|
|||
Everybody's out there doin' jobs
Spending cash on poison toys
Just like some are up for takin' rides
Roads stretch out like healthy veins
Leading to psychotic chains
There's too much blood to run
You just can't hide
Ride on ride the shit
Ride the citiy's blood
Ride the citiy's veins
Now that the generals ride the cadillacs
While all the people ride the cage
Those things all stay the way they are
Go empty your freezer get in your car
Shoot all those dicks right down the bridge
There's so much left to do after each war
Ride on ride the shit
Ride the citiy's blood
Ride the citiy's veins
Dedicated to the memory of Volker C.
OD'd 1990 at the age of 26

The Way I Like It
02:57
|
|||
When I walk down the street
I look at all the young girls that I meet
I brush my teeth comb my hair
But they're never looking back at me
But that's the way that I like it
I like it that way
I stay out at night I'm just looking for someone to love me
I stay out at night I'm just praying for some help from above
But that's the way that I like it
I like it that way
That's the way that I like it
I like it that way
I stay out at night I'm just looking for someone to love me
I stay out at night I'm just praying for some help from above
But that's the way that I like it
That's the way that I like it
That's the way that I like it
I like it that way
But that's the way that I like it
That's the way that I like it
That's the way that I like it
I like it that way

All the way down
Down by the lakeside
Far from the citiy's lights
Where the water's calm at night
That's where I'll stay
That's where I'll stay tonight
All this beauty
All this beautiful grey 'n' black 'n' white
It's your duty
Color my world, color it brite
Paint it, sugar
Paint it sweet brown sugar all right
Help me get of off my knees
Sugar, won't ya please
Ease my mind and leave
Leave me on my own
All those games
I played 'em til they broke my spine
Back in the fast lane
Tryin' to catch the end of time
Kick it, honey
Kick me out of my suicide ride
All yer beauty
Softly plasterin' my eyes
It's an illusion
There ain't no better way to hide
Gimme that shot
Gimme that shot full of love tonight
Help me get of off my knees
Sugar, won't ya please
Ease my mind and leave
Leave me on my own

Pull It Out
05:10
|
|||
Looking around at the boys in town
Aching and crawling on the ground
Another one has joined the crowd
He won't be no exception
C'mon tell me you're still the same
Tell me you enjoy that game
I just want you to know my friend
It ain't my kind of satisfaction
You better take my advice
Let me pull it out
Your eyes they're shining but your face it don't
Death is creeping out of your mouth
You tell me you can't stand it no more
Gotta shoot it up again
You tell me I'm your only friend
You've been running out of cash again
One thing's for sure I ain't gonna pay
That spike in your vein
You better take my advice
You better take
You better take my advice

Garbage Love
03:12
|
|||
Get outta that traffic
For a break by the roadside
Yeah I'm gonna have
Such a good time
Ridin' the white line
Just one more time
Ridin' the white line
One more time
Hey sugar where are you taking us?
Don't let that sun go down
We're gonna hit the road tonight
And go down to angels' town
Ridin' the white line
Just one more time
Ridin' the white line
One more time
You know there's nothing here
Nothing here for me and you
I can't remember where or what to do
I don't know, I don't know, shit, don't even you
Diggin' through the trash for love
My garbage love
Diggin' through the trash for love
My garbage love
Diggin' through the trash
Diggin' through the trash
Diggin' through the trash for cash
My garbage love

Can't ya see girl, can't you see?
That ya mean nothin' to me
You're in a bad bad show
And punch your life away
So sad, but I don't care anyway
Now I know
Now I fuck your show
Now I know
Now I fuck your show
Just a bad show
And now I know
You're running to and fro
You're running to and fro
Don't ya know girl, don't you know?
I'm gonna get out my gun
And put an end to your show
You've hurt me too bad so I'll kill you today
So sad, but I don't care anyway
Now I know
Now I fuck your show
Now I know
Now I fuck your show
Just a bad show
And now I know
You're running to and fro
You're running to and fro

Fancy Clothes
05:00
|
|||
I don't really care about
All the fancy clothes that you wear
They don't attract me anyway
I don't care about all the good things
You might bring into my life
It will never last that long
All the seed of love and hate
That you have planted in my mind
It don't thrill me anymore
It ain't your perfect walk
Not the way you break into my life
I just want to keep you tonight
No, I don't really care about you
No, I don't really care about you
No, I don't really care about you
You tell me all the time
That you ain't got a friend after all
You're on top of the stairs now
It took so many years
To check out all the kicks 'n' thrills 'n' faults
There's nothing left now
You're changing all the time
Now you're a slave to love and life
I don't really think I'm here to rescue you
And turn you inside out
There are things we have to learn
No, I don't really care about you
No, I don't really care about you
No, I don't really care about you

Bundy
03:25
|
|||
I'm sitting on a stormy day with nothing left to do
I'm waiting for the darkest sky to start turning blue
But nothing is changing here, it's just the same old bore
I wonder why I can't calm down
Still alive and I don't know what for
I'm a bastard son of a junkyard bitch
I'm Bundy the geek, such a freak
I feel hungry and I open a tin, the smell is making me sick
My head's burning, it feels like hell, I don't give a fuck about it
I grab my weapons and I make my day, I ain't got no reason to stay
When I shiver at the end of the day, that's the price I gotta pay
I'm a bastard son of a junkyard bitch
I'm Bundy the geek, such a freak

Suicide Night
04:50
|
|||
Now that you're gone
I feel so empty inside
Our days been dark
But darker will be my night
Now that you're not here
Time just fades too slow
Slow is my pain
Switch out the light of my eyes
Here it comes again
The sirens are screaming again
And who's gonna turn them down this time?
Now that you try
Try to explain your reasons
I understand you well
But none of them are mine
I got too many heads
To choose just one way
I can't decide what to do
Though I know just what I like
It's gonna be a fight again
And I'm gonna die again
And who's gonna pick me up this time?
She come creeping at night
She come moving so slow
She's gonna catch me by dawn
To plant her seed in my soul
You drag me out of the mud
Save me over the day
But me, I'm just waiting for the night
To jump back in again
All my illusions and dreams
I remember them well
But you know and I know
This ain't heaven, it's hell
Your sacred green 'n' brown eyes
Are like my daily suicide
And I break with every kiss that I try
She come creeping at night
She come moving so slow
She's gonna catch me by dawn
To plant her seed in my soul
She come creeping at night
She come moving so slow
She's gonna catch me by dawn
To plant her seed in my soul

Crawl Baby
04:35
|
|||
I wake up over you
Wonder what I'm doing there
Too much drugs, too much beer
I don't know what is going on here
My head is a mess cause you told me
That I kissed you last night
I don't want you, can't you see
All this shit means nothing to me
In your room at 12am, I feel twice as old as I am
Now you tell me that I have to stay
Leave me alone, gotta get away
Crawl baby crawl to the liquor store
Crawl baby crawl to the liquor store
Crawl baby crawl to the liquor store
I'm still creeping from the night before
I wake up over you
Wonder what I'm doing down there
Too much drugs, a whole lotta beer
I don't know what is going on here
My poor head is such a mess cause you told me
That I kissed you last night
I don't want you, can't you see
All this shit means nothing to me
In your room at 12am, I feel twice as old as I am
Now you tell me that I have to stay
Leave me alone, gotta get away
Don't shoot a hole in my head, baby
You know love is for the dumb
Don't shoot a hole in my head, baby
You know love is for the dumb
Crawl baby crawl to the liquor store
Crawl baby crawl to the liquor store
Crawl baby crawl to the liquor store
I'm still creeping from the night before

My Friend
03:31
|
|||
There was a place, there was a time
When all the colors of my mind
Combined to see you smile
Your love just felt so new to me
I was too old I couldn't see
Your holy love what it would do to me
You just left me crying here
Thinking about the past few years
I think of all the times and places
When I still put a smile upon yer face
Now I remember the french store
You took me where I'd never been before
Please don't ignore that knock upon your door
You've been a big girl in those days
That day you've crossed my way
I'm sorry, I stole your heart away
I didn't mean to burn your soul
I tried to do my best but I just could not
All the time I was possesed
First it was love then it was you who got me
Every letter you've sent
Every hand you lent
All the time you spent
I ain't got no more bones
Every letter you've sent
Every hand you lent
All the time you spent
I ain't got no more bones
Why didn't I understand?
Why did it have to end that way?
I hurt you once, I hurt you twice
I'll hurt you a thousand times
Tell me why?
You're my friend, so why?
I'm your best friend in disguise
You could see it thru my eyes
You'll know why I can't run and hide
I always tried to be your friend
My love will rise
No more time for breaking down
Every letter you've sent
Every hand you lent
All the time you spent
I ain't got no more bones
Every letter you've sent
Every hand you lent
All the time you spent
I ain't got no more bones
Why didn't I understand?
Why did it have to end that way??

Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dreams
But all of that is changed now
They've turned things inside out
The truth is not that comfortable, no
And mother taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
And father taught us boundaries
Beyond which we must go
To find the secrets promised us, yeah
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit fights to find its way
A friend of mine once told me
His one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And live inside his name
Cry and whispers sing in muted pain
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit fights to find its way
Now the sky is empty
But that is nothing new
Its dead eyes look upon us
And they tell me we're nothing but pain
That's when I reach for my revolver
(But pain)
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver

Toys In The Deep Freeze
04:03
|
|||
Thought I found a way to make the night turn day
But there's too much addiction, I just gotta get away
I tried to straighten my mind, just to go outside to do my job and feel alright
I'd gather flowers all day long for all the ones without a home
I'd give my best friend and my best friend's life just to get that ride tonight
Everywhere I go somehow I stop and turn around
I'm creeping through that alley without making any sound
There was a time when I felt them on my shoulder, they stuck a gun in my guts
I turn around, there's no-one, I can't stand it no more
These toys are drivin' me crazy, kick me outta my head
There ain't too much time but I take some instead
It could be pleasant, but it's lonely and cold
I'll try to be back by dawn, it's been the wrong way again
I Got My Toys In The Deep Freeze But They're Just Too Small To Squeeze Them (Original Title)

Aint No More Fun
02:58
|
|||
Ain't no more fun staying here
I already had my share
It's gonna be goodbye for good
Ain't gonna stay another day
Grab my cash and drive away
Please don't ask me to return
So listen closely my dear friends
You ain't gonna suck my blood again
And all you jerks in this town
Keep on putting each other down
All I know is what I see
What I see just don't thrill me
I'm gonna have my kicks some day
I fought my pain, I lost my fear
It's gonna be a better year
For you and me and everyone to see
So look out all you drunkards all you junkies
Ain't no more monkey on my back
Go fuck your brains, cut your veins
Keep your bullshit for yourself
Why did it have to take that long?
I don't know where I'm going to stay the next time
Why did it have to take that long?
Now I know that you ain't no friend of mine

Bush Hog Ride

|

Sometimes my cock feels like pleasure bush hog ride
Out in the clubs, you know it hurts just too much to touch him
All alone at home, it feels like he's just going to go insane
Like one thousand different kinds of pain
Take that ride baby
Whenever you're horny baby
I'm your pleasure bush hog ride
I'm your pleasure bush hog ride
I know my eyes could kill you right here in your bed, girl
They're like two knifes cutting deep down in your head, girl
You know I'm just a little mad, won't you come here and taste it
Waiting for you to suck it right here honey
Take that ride baby
Whenever you're horny baby
I'm your pleasure bush hog ride
I'm your pleasure bush hog ride
Alright
Alright
Yeah
Yeah
Pleasure

First raise of the sun penetrating the curtains
Coming down to spoil my fun, when the fun has just begun.
The sheets are clean and white, cover my freezing skin
I got a good friend at night, please keep that light outside
Gotta find a place
To leave the shit outside
And get to know my face
Try to settle down
To relearn, to relate
To the folks around
My hand's can't grip, but I can feel your pain
It ain't my trip, there is more than love to kill
I went from town to town just to see it's all the same
Ain't no gold on the ground, gonna lay my body down
Gotta find a place
To leave the shit outside
And get to know my face
Try to settle down
To relearn, to relate
To the folks around
