Killer Is Me
Don't need a gun
Pointed at me
Don't need to run
Killer is me
Killer is me

So the sun
Shines upon me
Havin fun
Killer is me

Insane the mind
In the name of me
Can't find the time
To let things be
Insane the mind
In the name of me
Can't find the time
To let things be
Let things be

Oh yeah
Can I start over?
Oh yeah
Can I start over?
And get over it

So the sun
Shines upon me
Havin fun
Killer is me
Killer is me
Killer is me

Oh yeah
Can I start over?
Oh yeah
Can I start over?
And get over it

Let things be

Jerry: "Thank you!"
"Thanks, that was really fun..."
Layne: "I wish I could just hug you all! But I'm not gonna..."


Killing Yourself
Move up from the table
Stick her arm let her go
Dropped dime on me last time
By morning his blood turned bold

Runnin from the law since Monday
'Cause Suzy went down on time
Got enough to last till Sunday
So I'm burning on down that line

Killing Yourself
Killing Yourself
Killing Yourself
K-K-K-Killing Yourself

Move up from the table
Fat man going down
Some run from the big gun
Some just run from the sound

Runnin from the law since Monday
'Cause Suzy went down on time
Got enough to last till Sunday
So I'm burning on down that line

Suzy was a bad child
Always on the wrong side
Ah, she was no good
She was bad, bad, bad with the bad cats
Always punching the needle in her arm
Ah, but when she's good, she's so damn good

Killing Yourself
Killing Yourself
Killing Yourself
K-K-K-Killing Yourself
You're just killing yourself


It Ain't Like That
There I was, laid out on a table
Screamin' sweat and bare feet to the floor
In my life, I'd not soften
Things that cut, and burn so often
But I sit, think of somethin'
Scared to face, the dyin' nothin'

See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore

Where I go is when I feel I'm able
How I fight is why I'm feelin' sore
In my sight, not forgotten
Feel as though, a tooth were rotten
Behind the smile, a tongue that's slippin'
Buzzards cry, when flesh is rippin'

See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore

Here I sit writing on the paper
Trying to think of words you can't ignore
In my eyes, what I'm lacking
Score at face, a ten for slacking
Sign the deal, set in motion
Smaller fish, so huge the ocean

See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore (2x)


What The Hell Have I?
The face before me flies
Laughs at me inside
Masks are made to hide the glow
Shining eyes
Distance 'tween us grows
feeding lies

It's hard to start things over
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah

Something I should say
It takes you every day
What you give is not alive
Today
Your soul served on a plate
Throw it away

It's hard to start things over
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah

It's hard to start things over
Oh yeah
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah

It's hard to start things over
Oh yeah
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah

All the time

What the hell have I?
Little pride


A Little Bitter
How the mind does shout for rest
When the bodies shaken, yeah
Oh the tightness in my chest
Still your leaves I'm raking

Lord is this a test
Was it fun creating, yeah?
My god's a little sick
And he wants me crazy

Who
Are you
Who can say
It's ok to live through me?

Live to be
Part of me
You're a wrinkled magazine
Yeah

Was it something that I said?
Was it how they're breaking, yeah
I'm so selfish, paying your rent
While your blood I'm taking

You
Spend me
Like a tree
Dirty dollar bills for leaves
Dark in a sea
Of my seeds
And the tears on which you feed

You feed

The body is a temple
A dormant alter
To where infantile men lie around
Itching and nibbling
For a small piece of sanity
Of which you can not give

Shit!

Individuality
Buying pennies with my soul
And a little Heaven spent
While the Hell I'm taking

Thieves
Parasites
Hide from life
You know they'll remember me

They are abhorred
In self-worth
All that matters much to me


Leave Me Alone
Blame me
Save a prayer for those who haunt you
There now
I don't mind if you still love me

Don't come overhear what I say
Don't come overhear what I say
Don't come overhear what I say
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone

Shame me
Hide your heart from those who hunt you
Way down (down, down)
Would you care if I still need her

Don't come overhear what I say
Don't come overhear what I say
Don't come overhear what I say
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone

Save me
Taken far from those who flaunt you
Calm down
Drag your heart and you behind her

Don't come overhear what I say
Don't come overhear what I say
Don't come overhear what I say
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone


Social Parasite
You say you don't like the way we look
Well fuck off
I ain't some dying dog that you can kick
So fuck off
It's so easy to fall into that hole
And you're the one who cast me in that role

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite
And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right

You say you don't like the place I live
Well get out
There ain't no vacancy in my bed
So get out
It's so easy to fall into that hole
And you're the one who cast me in that role

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite
And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right
If you loved me would you call me a social parasite
And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right

(1, 2, 3, Go...)

You say you don't like the way we look
Well fuck off
I ain't some dying dog that you can kick
So fuck off
It's so easy to fall into that hole
And you're the one who cast me in that role

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite
And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right
If you loved me would you call me a social parasite
And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right


King of the Kats
Hot leather and sex
All the things that I dress in best
Ain't no way you can beat
The way I'm flyin fast on my feet

I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats
And I'm ready to roll
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats
And baby that's a fact alright

Quickest gun in the west
There ain't no question that I'm the best
Drinking till I die
You're sick and skinny well so am I

I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats
And I'm ready to roll
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats
And baby that's a fact alright

(Look Out!)

I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats
And I'm ready to roll
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats
And baby that's a fact alright
Ooh, that's alright


Suffragette City
Hey man, oh leave me alone, you know
Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place

Hey man, my schooldays insane
Hey man, my work's down the drain
Ain't good, well she's a total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she... and then she...

Don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
Back to Suffragette City
Don't lean on me man,
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight... ooo, it's all right

Hey man, oh leave me alone, go away
Hey man, I can't take much this time, no way
Hey man, hey droogie don't crash here
There's only room for one and here she comes, here she comes

Don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
Back to Suffragette City
Don't lean on me man,
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight... wow it's all right

Don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
Back to Suffragette City
Don't lean on me man,

Queen of the Rodeo
My daddy was a trucker
Left home when I was three
He fell for some dude in Austin
Then it was mom and me
She always wanted a daughter
Well look at what she got
A'hit me, beat me, a faggot I ain't
But a real man they say I'm not

I'm the queen, queen of the rodeo
Queen, queen of the rodeo
So cowboy, if you're lookin for lovin'
I ain't no queer, go fuck a steer
"I think there's one over there..."

I drink too much, I smoke too much
I'm a human waste
I buy a lot of cheap alcohol
But I'll tell ya honey, I really hate the taste
I dressed in drag, they call me a fag
But boy, I really don't care
Cause last night I met your girlfriend, sucker
And I hope ya like to share, cause she did

I'm the queen, queen of the rodeo
Queen, queen of the rodeo
So cowboy, if you're lookin to fight
I ain't no wimp, I scratch and bite
"And I'm gonna kick your ass too..."

Queen, queen of the rodeo

FUCK YOU!

Queen, queen of the rodeo
Queen, queen of the rodeo


Chemical Addiction
I was only 15, standout on the Ave.
You're chasing a bad dream, a luxury I never had
Living my life in the box, or sleepin in the trash
Taking girls for the things I need, like booze, drugs and ass

Get stoned, daily survival in the war zone
Yeah our teens meant everything, alright
Half rack, smoking out till it's all black
Death trap, watch me going blind, oh

I don't care what you say, I
Or what you do
Chemical addiction is
Getting rid of you
So high, colors turn to sound
Goodbye, let us in and we'll lay you in the ground

Chosen on the floor, take another drag
Bought a bunch of valiums from skinny broadway bag
I don't know much about heroin but I, I wanna try
Just about everything once before I die

Get stoned, daily survival in the war zone
Yeah our teens meant everything, alright
Half rack, smoking out till it's all black
Death trap, watch me going blind, oh

I don't care what you say, I
Or what you do
Chemical addiction is
Getting rid of you
So high, colors turn to sound
Goodbye, let us in and we'll lay you in the ground

Now Jerry do me like this...

Get stoned, daily survival in the war zone
Yeah our teens meant everything, alright
Half rack, smoking out till it's all black
Death trap, watch me going blind, oh


Fairytale Love Story
Jill, came tumbling down
At the bottom of the hill
Jack busted his crown

Ah, my fairytale love story
My fairy life
My fairytale love story
To get you off of my..
I got to thinking
Things aren't as good as they can be
I got to drinking
The bitch is over the brink
The bitch is over the brink

Tommy Prince, kissed a few there on the lips
She woke him with a cold sore, she ain't so pretty no more

Ah, my fairytale love story
My fairy life
My fairytale love story
To get you off of my..
I got to thinking
I'm not as sweet as them all
I got to drinking again
The bitch is over the brink
The bitch is over the brink

My fairytale love story
Ooo, My fairytale love story
Yeah, you're my fairytale love story
Ooo, my fairytale love story

The bitch is over the brink
The bitch is over the brink

Rapunzel let down your hair, I'll cut it off


I Can't Have You Blues
I can't have you blues

I got the I can't have you, I can't have you blues
I can't have you, I can't have you blues
I can't have you, I can't have you...

Nothings the same, need my fix of you
A crack in the mirror, pictures split in two
I can't believe you slipped away
I been drinking too much cause I'm trying to forget your face
And if I always try to do, all the things you want me to
I've been letting myself down to an early grave
And if I always try to do, all the things you want me to
I've been letting myself down to an early grave

Nothing stays the same, in this game
I can't have you, I can't have you blues
I can't have you, I can't have you...

Nothings the same, need my fix of you
A crack in the mirror, pictures blank too
I can't believe you slipped away
I been drinking too much cause I'm trying to forget your face
And if I always try to do, all the things you want me to
I've been letting myself down to an early grave

Nothing stays the same, in this game
I can't have you, I can't have you blues
I can't have you, I can't have you blues
I can't have you, I can't have you blues
I can't have you, I can't have you blues
