That I knew you didn't know me that well It is my fault, you see You never learned that much from me Oh, you silly, stupid pastime of mine

It's very kind But it's to no avail, and I don't want the bail I promise you, everything will be just fine

Trying to fit beneath the skin I can't fit the feelings in, no

Your presence dominates the judgments made on you But as the scenery grows I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception

And I will settle you down And at my own suggestion I will ask no questions While I do my thing in the background

And that's why the devil just can't get around me

And he finds a home in me For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap

And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion As the darkness turns into the dawn The child is gone

Why give it a turn? Oh, after all the folderol And hauling over coals stops What did I learn?

I wander the halls along the walls and under my breath I say to myself I need fuel to take flight

How can I deal with this if he won’t get with this? Am I gonna heal from this? He won’t admit to it

He did a commendable job He put himself so low he can hardly even look me in the face Wait till I get him back

You, you, you, you I root for you, I love you You, you, you

I promise you, everything will be just fine

One man he disappoint me He give me the gouge and he take my glee Now every other man I see Remind me of the one man who disappointed me

And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists I never did anything to you, man

Courteous to try and help, but let me set your mind at ease

Like the carrion of a murdered prey

I don't want to talk about I don't want to talk about anything I don't want to talk about I don't want to talk about anything

I lose my desideratum and now you, so

Kiss me when we find some time alone And then we can do anything we want And then we can do anything we want And then we can do anything we want

For you to find you love me, and tell me so It's ok, don't need to say it

'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys

When I'm high like heaven When I'm strong like music 'Cause I'm slow like honey, and heavy with mood

And there's too much going on But it's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion

Every single night's alright Every single night's a fight And every single fight's alright  With my brain

Please please please No more maladies I'm so tired of cryin'

You're all I need, you're all I need You're all I need, and maybe some faith would do me good

We are like a wishing well and a bolt of electricity But we can still support each other; all we gotta do's avoid each other

But it's dangerous work trying to get to you, too And I think if I didn't have to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it Maybe I wouldn't think so much of you

And I could liken you to a chemical, the way you made me compound to compound But i'm a chemical too inevitable, you and me wouldn't mix And I could liken you to a lot of things, but I always come around

So wait till I get him back Gonna bring him home and I'll watch him unpack Hey, keep turning that chin And you will see my face is fixed on the one I'm gonna get back

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on And I'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle

Ooh, what I need is a good defense 'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

Gonna bring him home and I'll watch him unpack Hey, keep turning that chin And you will see my face is fixed on the one I'm gonna get back I'm gonna get him back

So if you catch me trying to Find my way into your heart From under your skin

And I've been swinging around at nothing I don't know when you're going to make your move

You'll beat me with your bitter lies So call me crazy — hold me down Make me cry — get off now, baby

It's all I'll do 'cause I'm not free A fugitive too dull to flee I'm amorous but out of reach

I'm amorous but out of reach A still-life drawing of a peach

I lie in an early bed, thinking late thoughts Waiting for the black to replace my blue I do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught But daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary

Run it if you want If you think it's worth it

I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy Whose reality I knew, was hopeless to be had But then the dove of hope began its downward slope

And I'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle

I'll soar the uneven winds Complain and blame the sterile land But if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear I'm blooming within

Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red Your hungry flirt borders intrusion I'm building memories on things we have not said Full is not heavy as empty, not nearly, my love

Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside 'Cause there's no kind of loving that can make this all right I'm trying to find a place I belong

But your heart will not oblige you

I'll know, I'll know And you can use my skin To bury secrets in And I will settle you down
