Somebody Else

I saw the world through her eyes
I saw the painting of her lies
Blue Lion Girl stood tall on the mountain top
Don’t remember who I wanted to be
Blue Lion Girl took a death grip on me
By the echo of her roar
I don’t want to be Somebody Else
I saw the end through her eyes
I swept the painting of her vice
With a broken brush on a firewall
I saw her bolted to the ground with a paw on my fear
Where the feeling would stay, oh Lord she drew me near
And the Blue Lion Girl burned up it all.
I tried to take her off the stormy memory
But The Blue Lion Girl disappeared slowly
As I revved up the rising sun
I don’t want to be Somebody Else

I Love You Man

Well, I’ve travelled around the world
And I met a million girls.
Man you’ve heard this one before,
But it’s you that I adore.
And each one of those million girls,
They’re prettier than you.
But man, if you had some bigger tits
I’d be married to a dude.
I Love You Man, yes I Love You.
You know you know I’m not that kind,
But you really are my kind.
And even though you’re miles away,
You know what’s on my mind.
And I’ve said this once before,
That you’re flatter than a door.
But if I had a thousand bucks,
Oh I’d buy you a pretty butt.
Can’t you see, we don’t have to hold hands.
Can’t we be, just a man and a man?
Well, I know that you don’t wanna hear this,
But we don’t have to make love.
I’ll just blow you a kiss,
Like I’ve done before… a million times before.
Can’t you see, we don’t have to hold hands.
Can’t we be, just a man and a man !?
I Love You Man, yes I Love You.

Yellow Shadow
03:51
|

|
I tried so hard to walk between sand and sea
To keep an eye on the shadow when the sun hits me
You know, you know it’s a constant, a killing struggle
I got so tired to keep a cool head on…
Knock knock
Help me now
I stop breathing
Stop stop
Calm me down
What (are) you doing?
Suddenly a cold wave washed me up
Stalactites stabbed my heart from side to side
Left me like a Yellow Shadow on the shivery sky
Knock knock
Help me now
I stop breathing
Stop stop
Calm me down
What (are) you doing?

Shine

I don’t want to be happy
I Just want to be free
I want to be with you
If you let me be me.
Don’t want to be happy
Just want to be free
Want to be with you
Just let me be me.
I saw the sun
She was going down
I said, please, pity me
and shine shine shine
I saw the moon
He was coming up
I said, please, stay awhile
and shine shine shine
I saw you
Just standing there
I said, I love the way you
Shine shine shine on me
Just Shine.

Crazy Horse

Did you see him again, beyond the fence ?
And nobody’s in his way.
Hoofs from roof to roof, all over the place
Stealing everyone’s play.
He seems like he’s hurt but he doesn’t stop
He could have told us If only he could talk
And he runs without breathing
And he jumps without knowing
What’s behind the block
He’s a Crazy Horse
We’re the prisoners, and he’s holding the chains
Tell me how you ignore,
That the life I’ve led, I’ve led it at his pace,
Underwent his past and more.
We don’t know what he wants, but he doesn’t either.
Why does he keep leaving us and keep living with us?
And he runs without breathing
And he jumps without knowing
What’s behind the block
He’s a Crazy Horse
Next time you bring him back, just don’t let me know.
I let let him run behind my back and I don’t want to know.
He’s out again. just let him go.
He’s a Crazy Horse.

She Walks Like a Man
04:10

She does war dances,
On the red white and blue.
She’s a North County woman,
Buys her records at Lou’s.
And she dances with dolphins
On the nose of her board.
And she talks like a man,
And she walks like a man,
But she feels like a girl.
Yeah she feels like a girl...
She will fight with deamons
And maybe she’ll win.
She will carry no armor,
Except a pill and a grin.
And she’s dancing on the edge
Of that lithium dream
Yeah you know what I mean
And she walks like a man,
And she talks like a man,
But she dances like a girl.
And she’s out of this world...
I have held her
and I have felt her.
She is strong, oh so strong,
But yet so tender.

You chopped down some people I love,
You brought on the pest.
You served yourself,
But you forgot about the rest.
Well, you brought it on yourself,
You brought it on yourself.
He was alone,
Acting alone,
No reason, no cause in sight.
He was alone,
No father at home,
Just a cathode ray of light.
And if ignorance was his excuse,
If education was his excuse,
(Then) he was the stupidest man alive...
If God didn’t exist
And if hell didn’t exist.
If God didn’t exist
And if hell didn’t exist...
You chopped down some people I love,
You brought on the pest.
You served yourself,
But you forgot about the rest.
Well You brought it on yourself,
You brought it on yourself.
You chopped down some people I love,
You brought on the pest.
You served yourself,
But you, forgot about the rest.
Wel You, brought it on yourself.
You brought it on yourself
But I’m bringing it on tonight.

With your heart like a hornet’s nest
And your eyes full of bling...
I like girls with diamond rings
I like girls who break my heart
I like hearts without no strings
I like art without no art
I like wine with anything
I like you without a thing
I like salt upon your neck
I like necks that aren’t so red.
I like girls with diamond rings
I like girls who break my heart
I came to write you this song
But I don’t have much to say
And even if I really loved you,
I wouldn’t tell you this way.
I came to write you this song
I came to write you…
With your heart like a hornet’s nest
And your eyes full of bling...
I like to spit and true grit
I like chew right off your lip
I like dolphins and Jap cars
And drunk monkeys who come from Mars
I like girls with diamond rings
I like girls who break my heart
I came to write you this song
I came to write you this song
I came to write you this!
I like girls with diamond rings
who drink Riesling with chicken wings
I like girls with diamond rings
who drink Riesling
Sock it to me baby,
Sock it to me one more time.

Killing me Slow
03:59
|

|
There was no such place I felt better,
Between the bridges I was away.
No such place I felt that bad either,
Forced not to disobey.
I sat there watching the changing tide
And without a pen I learnt how to draw.
Between the lake and the seaside
I swam against the stream law.
How much for my soul?
What can you turn into gold?
How far will you go?
You’re killing me slowly
You’re killing me slow
You’re killing me slowly
You’re killing my girl
Once (in) a while I stop by the canal and I lay.
I still ask why.
You sell what you steal and you don’t get pay
And everybody cry.
And you stole that from me as I grew,
you stole that from us and you knew.

I didn’t see what’s inside of you,
Didn’t take the time to feel your heart.
I didn’t check the answering machine,
Don’t even know how to work that damn thing.
But these are the things that will tear us apart,
Over and over again
I didn’t see the blood running dry,
Didn’t smell the new perfume.
I didn’t hear the raven’s cry
Don’t even know how to live or die (properly)
But these are the things that will tear us apart,
Over and over again…
