True Colors

My heart is full of scars, so baby, tell me what to believe
I don't know the last time I thought love could save me
Well I'm under your spell baby
Hey no running away, i'm in heaven now
Well I'm under your spell
Running away then everything, everything comes crashing down
True colors paint ugly pictures
True colors paint ugly pictures
Watching in slow motion everything around me start to change
Staring at the ocean everything will end up washed away
Well I'm under your spell baby
Hey no running away, I'm in heaven now
Well I'm under your spell
Running away from everything, then you turn around and say
True colors paint ugly pictures
True colors paint ugly pictures
Why'd you have to go and make every bone inside me ache
I didn't think you'd be so fake, but now you are my worst mistake
I don't think you'll ever know just the way you hurt me so
Every word of love you spoke were nothing more than a cruel joke
And if I had one last request, it'd be to see you laid to rest
True colors paint ugly pictures
True colors paint ugly pictures...

Tired of Everything
03:47
|

|
I’m tired of waking up
I’m tired of going down
I’m tired of going out
I’m tired of this town
I’m tired of the noise
and the silence too
I’m tired of everything
No, I’m just tired of you...
Tired of waiting for you
Tired of fighting for you
Who’s looking out for me when it’s all about you?
I’m tired of growing up
I’m tired of getting old
I’m tired of trying hard
To do what I am told
I’m tired of this place
I don’t know what to do
I’m tired of everything
No, I’m just tired of you
Tired of waiting for you
Tired of fighting for you
Who’s looking out for me when it’s all about you?
All about you
All about you
Who’s looking out for me when it’s all about you
All about you
All about you
Who’s looking out for me when it’s all about you…
All about you
All about you
All about you
All about you
All about you
Who’s looking out for me when it’s all about you.

Walking Wounded
04:13
|
|||
|
I will be the ring that you can't ignore
I will be the sting when you kiss the floor
Someone hit the big time but there's always more
Waiting in the wings to show you the door
If you scream, no one hears a thing
If you swing, I'll play you like a string
If you sleep, I will haunt your dream
When you're on fire, I'm the gasoline
Walking wounded, walking wounded
C'mon baby, know when to quit
Walking wounded, walking wounded
Alone, in your shadow
I will be the voice in back of your mind
I will keep you running for your life
Someone hit the big time but soon you will find
There ain't no room for you at the end of the line
If you scream, no one hears a thing
If you swing, I'll play you like a string
If you sleep, I will haunt your dream
When you're on fire, I'm the gasoline
Walking wounded, walking wounded
C'mon baby, know when to quit
Walking wounded, walking wounded
Alone, in your shadow
If you scream, no one hears a thing
If you swing, I'll play you like a string
If you sleep, I will haunt your dream
When you're on fire, I'm the gasoline
Walking wounded, walking wounded
C'mon baby, know when to quit
Walking wounded, walking wounded
C'mon baby, who you trying to kid...
Walking wounded, walking wounded
Alone, in your shadow

Slow Motion
03:01
|
|||
|
Turn the light down to a glow
Let the music start to flow
You whisper softly in my ear
You say there's nothing I should fear
Turn the lights down to a glow
Let the poison take control
Like Juliet and Romeo
Everything in slow motion
Everything in slow motion
I just want to be alive
For once in my life
Turn the radio up high
We can make it last all night
Turn the light down to a glow
Let the poison take control
Like Juliet and Romeo
Everything in slow motion
Everything in slow motion
Oh, no, I ain't gonna let you go
Oh, no, I ain't gonna let you go
Turn the light down to a glow
Let the poison take control
Like Juliet and Romeo
Everything in slow motion
Everything in slow motion

Salvation
03:29
|
|||
|
They say Rock is Dead
It’s like God is Dead
We need Kurt Cobain
To save us once again
Who are the heroes today?
Who has the strength today?
Who can spit on fame
And show us another way
I never found the truth
in the church of my youth
It was rock n roll
That baptized my soul
Things used to mean so much
Am I losing my touch?
It’s all power-hungry people who don’t care about us
I need your salvation, honey
I know you're not this naive
I need your salvation, honey
So come on get up off your knees
As we all choke on the American Dream
Just trying to get a good night's sleep
Ah it’s the death of cool
No one’s breaking the rules
Where's John Lennon?
To imagine once again
It really feels like the end
Who’s gonna die for our sins?
When there's no quality
With our technology
Now that the music is free
We’ve lost our dignity
I miss the mystery
Before there was no privacy
Don't wanna know what you ate
I'm sure your puppy is great
It's not revolution
It's just self-pollution
I need your salvation, honey
I know you're not this naive
I need your salvation, honey
So come on get up off your knees
As we all choke on the American Dream
Just trying to get a good night's sleep

Black Sky Revisited
02:55
|

|
Black sky coming through my window
Lamplight shining through my door
i know everything I told you was a lie
But I know everything I saw between your eye
Where do you go
When nobody knows
Where nobody knows
Where do you go
When nobody knows
Where nobody knows

Intoxicated
03:32
|

|
I’m Intoxicated by your beauty
It’s all a mystery
Somewhere behind your eyes
Tells the truth, or is it a lie?
I’m intoxicated by your beauty, oh no
I fell victim to your beauty
A prisoner for your love
Somehow I’ve always known you
Before the sky was blue
I fell victim to your beauty
What would I even do if I got my hands on you?
What could I even say to make you stay?
What would I even could I even should I...
Ohhh
I’m addicted to your beauty
I can’t deny it, how could I?
When you’re out there living your life
And I’m stuck in mine
I’m addicted to your beauty
What would I even do if I got my hands on you?
What could I even say to make you stay?
What would I even could I even should I...
Ohhh

White China
03:41
|

|
I didn’t see when you appeared
Was waiting all my life
Coz when you touch me so sincere
You make me lose my mind
My life is over
The moment you’re here
Time's starting over
The closer you feel
White china
Alleluia
Don’t ever leave me alone, why
white china
Alleluia
Don’t ever leave me alone, ohhh
White china
Don’t ever leave me alone
It doesn’t matter what you wear
Or anything at all
Coz when I got you oh so near
I’m up against the wall
White china
Alleluia
Don’t ever leave me alone, why
white china
Alleluia
Don’t ever leave me alone, ohhh
White china
Don’t ever leave me alone

Smile lines, tan lines
Waiting in an endless line
White lines, state lines
Whiskey, soda, bitters, lime
Fine line, straight line
Form a single-file line
High time, low tide
Everybody get inside
Only Fools Know Everything
Only Fools Know Everything
Only Fools Know Everything
Only Fools Know Everything
Night light, eye-bright
Overbearing over-bite
Stop light, green light
Take no prisoners tonight
Black light, red light
Paraphrasing parasites
High tide, no time
Everybody’s outta line
Only Fools Know Everything
Only Fools Know Everything
Only Fools Know Everything
Only Fools Know Everything

The Big Sleep
03:51
|
|||
|
I know that everything's okay
That everything is beautiful
When I enter the big sleep
Everything's telling me it's no big deal at all
I know my right from my wrong
But once I learned this pretty song
I heard the harmony
Everyone's pushing me deeper into sleep
But I've nothing left to show and everything I have must go
Everything is so hazy
I don't wanna live a lie, I'm too busy chasing highs
Everything is so crazy
I don't even see the rain, I don't even know my name
Everything is so crazy
And now I'm waiting 'round for more, with the demon at the door
Here come the big sleep
Before I felt so out of place
So lonely and invisible
Until I found true love
Now I'm invincible and anyone can see
But I've nothing left to show and everything I have must go
Everything is so hazy
I don't wanna live a lie, I'm too busy chasing highs
Everything is so crazy
I don't even see the rain, I don't even know my name
Everything is so crazy
And now I'm waiting 'round for more, with the demon at the door
Here come the big sleep
I'm sleeping, don't wake me, is this real life or dreaming
I'm falling, completely, can anybody hear me...
