Perfect Tan (Bikini Atoll) Susie - every alchemical fuck's a Massacio exchange
sex for desire
desire for obscenity
and ultimately desire for pain
and I love you
and I hate you
I remember the time
that I mind raped you
never say repression
unless you're ready to mean it, baby
candy cane sunrise refracted in your eyes
candy cane sunrise refracted in your eyes
through the valley of death with sea air
flowers on your breath
and in your hair

Somebody's sugar daddy
(hand in hand with a perfect tan)

Susie - every alchemical fuck's a Masachio exchange
sex for desire
desire for obscenity
and ultimately desire for pain
and I love you
and I hate you
I remember the time I mind raped you

Somebody's sugar daddy
(hand in hand a perfect tan)

You know you get so alone
where the hell is that promise
where the hell is my world
you know you get so alone
like snakes detecting infrared
exuded by some juicy prey
slip the girl a little dust
it makes 'em more receptive
feel the serpent twisting up the spine

Somebody's Sugardaddy
(hand in hand a perfect tan)

    Butterfly wings
    You can't place faith in material things
    material things will fail you
    a hurricane triggered by a butterfly's wings
    your conspirators betray you

    Don't place faith in human beings
    human beings are unreliable things
    don't place faith in human beings
    human beings or butterfly's wings

    You can't place faith in a new regime
    that fascist faith will kill you
    a hurricane triggered by a butterfly's wings
    your conspirators betray you

    don't place faith in human beings
    human beings are unreliable things
    don't place faith in human beings
    human beings or butterfly wings

    there's something burning
    deep inside I know
    there's something
    inside this hole

    (tonight when i chase the dragon -
    By their fruits you shall know them)

    Don't place faith
    Don't place faith
    When I decide to live in the mind
    the heart dies
    mother superior in the sky
    the heart dies
    the heart dies

    Don't place faith in human beings
    human beings are unreliable things
    don't place faith in human beings
    human beings or butterfly wings

    Lilith/Eve I'm talking darkest night
    a shoddy simulation
    of paradise in leopard tights
    there's a sinking fascination
    with the neon light
    and inside inside it's war all the time
    with the budding blonde hookers
    and their decadent art
    desire's a violent jackhammer of the heart
    when the world descends into helter skelter
    and the girls crawl in for shelter

    Lilith/Eve I'm looking for something
    come together over me
    I don't know what I want
    a wife or a lover
    I'm looking for somthing inbetween

    I'm talking blood on grass
    an overwrought suburbanite heart attack
    and paint it all black
    because the end is accelerating back to the beginning
    and everybody's falling in line
    with the balding blind hustlers in their heroin hovels
    giving dollar sucks inside continentals
    with the radios blaring out helter skelter
    and the creatures crawl in for shelter

    Lilith/Eve I'm looking for something
    come together over me
    I don't know what i want
    a knife or a lover
    come together over me

    Albert Speer We have faced despair
    and found a river there
    we have faced despair
    and found a river there
    we have sucked the fruit of disease
    and found that it tasted sweet
    like meat gone bad

    sleep warmly under columns of light
    sleep warmly under columns of light
    sleep warmly under columns of light
    sleep with the fishes tonight

    all alone in this recluse car
    became afraid of what we are
    and what we might not be
    in the land of the free

    land of the free
    land of the free
    land of the free
    land of the free

    smell the ripe overripe budding America
    a sweetfaced straightlaced pornographic actress
    that's her draw -
    no one can believe she'd appear in this smut
    her face smiling perfect through innocent teeth
    unaware of the debauchery beneath
    smiling innocent through perfect teeth
    unaware of the wolves running
    wild in her streets
    in the land of the free

    land of the free
    land of the free
    land of the free

    get em up get em
    down on their knees
    all praise to Allah
    who provides what we need
    a Swiss precision suicide machine
    Jesus Christ
    Soul on Ice
    sleep with the mother fuckin
    fishes tonight

    Limiter As sure as prisons are the models for the city
    I let my mind and my body imprison me
    and now a Versaille has risen up inside
    and i live in fear of the glide
    in fear of the glide
    and if the doors of perception were finally cleansed
    I could see your face again
    and my love for the world would be wild and pure
    if not for this goddamn limiter
    I pushed my limits to the sickening heights
    and I can feel my heartbeat pounding on the back of my eyes
    the drip of the faucet
    and the warmth of your thighs
    and the limiter -
    still blinded by the candlelight

    the rubies and the pearls of the lovesick eye
    the martyr's moans and the lover's sighs
    your legs so sheer in the UV light
    and the limiter -
    still blinded by the candlelight

    as sure as prisons are the models for the city
    I nurture my need for oil and electricity
    the bigger the need gets the more that
    the people want a piece of it
    and if the doors of perception were finally cleansed
    I could take my place again
    and my love for the world would be wild and pure
    if not for this goddamn limiter
    I pushed my limits to the sickening heights
    and I can feel my heartbeat pounding on the back of my eyes
    the drip of the faucet
    and the warmth of your thighs
    and the limiter -
    still blinded by the candlelight

    the rubies and the pearls of the lovesick eye
    the martyr's moans and the lover's sighs
    your legs so sheer in the UV light
    and the limiter -
    still blinded by the candlelight
    Delight -
    I could see you there
    and Delight -
    I want to see you in me everywhere
    as sure as prisons are the models for the cities
    I let my mind and my body imprison me
    I pushed my limits to the sickening heights
    and I can feel my heartbeat's pressure on the back of my eyes
    the drip of the faucet
    and the warmth of your thighs
    and the limiter -
    still blinded by the candlelight

    If I should explode (into gasping Mary) Coffee cup
    Mabou Mines
    shooting up the power lines
    I don't know what's on my mind
    dreaming of a simpler time

    and if I should explode into gasping Mary
    please take me home to where the cross is rose

    coffee cup
    an open mind
    the weathermen are flying blind
    you seem to me the bleeding kind
    just dreaming of a simpler time

    if I should explode into gasping Mary
    please take me home to where the cross is rose

    Shake Shake like the newborn sleep
    shake like the fire in me
    I lost my mind
    shake on a handshake deal
    sit back and watch them steal
    I lost my mind
    automatically triggered in times of danger
    the newborn serpent speaks
    lost my lost my mind

    Shake 'em down to where the fire of hell surrounds
    and we've destroyed the underground
    because we're trying to find that sound
    Shake like the junkie sleeps
    shake like the fire in me
    I lost my mind
    I got me a handshake deal
    I bend down and I learn to kneel
    I lost my mind

    Shake em down to where the fire surrounds
    and we've destroyed the underground
    because we're looking to find that sound

    America in overdrive
    America O.D.
    America never fucking meant that much to me
    with its handshake massacre of porn queen dreams
    meet the man that feeds the fire that fuels the salt machine

    Cheap A skirt here is cheaper
    than anywhere on the planet
    cheaper than in Liberia
    where you gotta pay to get the blood out
    Cheap -
    together in real time
    my television and my subconcious mind

    this is the third world -
    make it cheap and ugly
    make it dirty, make it rust
    then hit 'em when they're ready
    send me spinning into acts
    that look like sex
    smell like sex
    feel like sex
    more real than sex
    more real than love

    its what you say by what you buy into
    its what you say by what you buy into
    its what you say by what you buy into
    that obsesses me
    that turns me on
    that makes me cheap
    that fills me up

    Cheap -
    vibrations in my jaw
    the attention span of a pop song
    freakshow full of freakshow cunning
    the worst crimes
    involve love or money
    the worst crimes
    involve love or money
    love or money
    that's why I'm cheap -
    killed in my sleep

    its what you say by what you buy into
    its what you say by what you buy into
    its what you say by what you buy into
    that interests me
    that turns me on
    that makes me cheap
    that fills me up

    Spectral influence of girls over tides
    its in the way that you use your eyes
    its in the way that your eyes talk to me
    its what you say by what you buy into, baby
    its what you say by what you buy
    that obsesses me

    Acceleration When I feel like i'm about out of hell
    I feel my cage is shrinking
    I can see the light from a prison cell
    I can feel the world weeping
    understand me
    understand me

    Release - Acceleration

    when I feel like I'm about out of hell
    I can feel my cage shrinking
    I see the light in the cancer cell
    I can feel the world weeping
    understand me
    understand me
    White light inside of me
    acceleration all around
    till it don't seem
    like I'm moving at all
    till it don't seem
    like I'm moving at all
    got caught raping an angel
    got caught stealing
    fire from the sky
    got caught raping an angel
    caught, released and I cry
    Release - Acceleration
    Into the arm
    the feelings are
    into the arm
    the feelings are
    down

    Ancestor Cult
    Let's take an ambulance ride
    to the place where
    amnesia fills our eyes
    suck in that summer sister
    the blood was like a river flowing
    the earring dangles from the point of entry
    to the wicked root of thickening gravity
    and I am connected to the people ahead of me
    by a tangled web of blood and entropy
    and I am a child of the twentieth century
    and I recall that the others ahead of me
    filled their eyes
    they filled their eyes
    they filled their eyes
    Suck in that stomach sister
    the fruit within your loins expanding
    a strange locked code
    the overflow of our occidental ancestral home

    Content?
    My life is so complete
    everything is straightened out
    I feel the hand of god
    I feel no sense of doubt

    My life is so complete
    everything is straightened out
    I feel the hand of god
    I feel no sense of doubt
    but there's something about
    the straightened arrow

    there's something about
    there's something about
    there's something about
    this is the big fear

    get off the cross, dear
    we need the wood
    we need the wood
    deep in your twisted mind
    you're saving all mankind
    we need the wood

    something about
    something about

    Jessica, a snatch of ultraviolet
    a day in somewhere riding horses
    made of rust and sunset
    Jessica ultraviolet
    a day in somewhere riding horses made of sunset

    Trigger for Happiness
    Enough searching to know
    that we've lost ourselves
    in our slot machines, shotguns, and stripmalls
    baby your technology
    so slick and functional
    and me without my nuclear arsenal
    And if I could kill without guilt or sin
    there'd soon be a few less record executives
    and if I could kill and recieve forgiveness
    there'd sure as hell be one less president

    there's got to be a pill for forgiveness
    there's got to be a trigger for happiness
    Automatic sensory remote control
    weather sattelites manipulate your soul
    efficiently without a modicum of grace
    I want to go out with a smile on my face
