I see the way you pinch your lips together
And when you don't lower yourself to answer
You keep telling me that everything's alright
And I know you're gonna sulk the whole night through
The next morning, you still don't loosen your lips
Your clenched fists are stuck on your hips
Suddenly you say you're going out tonight
I wait 'til morning with my bedside light
Don't take me for a sucker
Then, pursing your lips, you say it's all my fault
That I had to find a way to enter your vault
I sigh and I sigh and you reply ‘we can't talk’
‘Ok that's enough I'm going for a walk’
How can she be in such bad faith
Why didn't she tell me in the first place?
Form and content are not the same
I'm not beyond reproach, what a shame!
Don't take me for a sucker
Don't take me for a sucker
Don't take me for a sucker
Oooh you'd better talk to me
But only if you wanna make things right again
Oooh you'd better talk to me yeah
But only if you wanna make things right
Only if you wanna make things right again
You'd better talk to me
But only if you wanna make things right again
You see the way I pinch my lips together
And when I don't lower myself to answer
I keep telling you that everything's alright
And I know I'm gonna sulk the whole night through
Then, pursing my lips, I say it's all your fault
That you had to find a way to enter my vault
You sigh and you sigh, that's our game
We're not beyond reproach, what a shame!
Don't take me for a sucker
Don't take me for a sucker
Don't take me for a sucker
(Oh no)
Oh no, don't take me for a sucker
(Please don’t)
Don’t ever ever ever ever take me for a sucker
Yeah

Can I believe you?
Can I believe you?
Can I ever know your mind?
Am I handing you mine?
Do we both confide?
I see it, eat through every word I sow
See what you need to, do you doubt it's yours?
Now I'm learning the ropes never get this close
I've been wounded before
Hasn't let me go
All this time I've been hanging on
To an edge I caught when we both were young
That the world I want wasn't near enough
All was distant, always off
In all that war I'd forgotten how
Many men might die for what I'd renounce
I was staging life as a battleground
No I let that grasping fall
May the last long year be forgiven
All that war left within it
I couldn't, though I'm beginning to
And we only made it together
Feel some change in the weather
I couldn't though I'm beginning to
Can I believe you when you say I'm good?
I didn't need to when I wished you would
No, it isn't enough
Never held that much
Now another way up
Been a row too rough
And with love and hate in the balance
One last way past the malice
One warm day is all I really need
And with love and hate in the balance
One last way past the malice
One warm day is all I really need

Stoner Girl
04:30

Rising as most people go down
Three stoned cold angels fly around
One’s got kicks, one’s got lipstick
One knows how to hold a pick
I wonder if it’s my heart monitor
Or if it’s just a buzzing in my ears
I wonder if those strange visitors
Are to blame for my fuzzy fears
Grass looks always greener on the other side
But this one seems so odd and wild
I wanna rush on it and lose my pride
That stoner girl had me beguiled
Who’s gonna tell me I’m too young to think I’ve been through all the shades?
Who’s gonna tell me I’m too old to descend steep mountain grades?
I’ll warm up my blood to feel brand new
Wash away the mud to target you
Vibrating walls and supersonic sound
Flowed through this fight, this night, so bright
Maybe we will merge our rage
Maybe we could share a stage
Maybe you’re the type to slap me and
Tie me up in a cage
Changing mood as she changes hair dye
Pink, orange, red or blue
Screaming loud as she’s singing high
Think I’ll get a tattoo
I’ll warm up my blood to feel brand new
Wash away the mud to target you
Vibrating walls and supersonic sound
Flowed through this fight, this night, so bright
I’ll rent a van
But does the gear fits in?
Your strike, my moves...
I’ll buy some fuel
We need a lot
You know I’m looking forward to be touring worldwide
Wordlwide, anywhere, everywhere
Spreading massive sound for all this screaming crowd yeah
Hoping my bass will be well amplified
With all the knobs fully pushed
Distortion yelling in a spring
So many things we would destroy
You know I’ve been a very very bad boy
Our soul converge toward a creative urge
I’ll warm up my blood to feel brand new
Wash away the mud to target you
Vibrating walls and supersonic sound
Flowed through this fight, this night, so bright
So tight

Pretty Please

Deep inside my mind your body's burning igniting all it can find
Deep below the seas is where I should live but your hook won't let me free
Deep under my finger the ghost of your hair is living off of my air
Deep between your thighs my eyelids are swollen when I realize that I care
High above the ground my shoulders are too large for what my chest can bare
Pretty, pretty please
I'm right there on my knees
Pretty, pretty please
Come and rescue me
Far beyond your words lies hope and it hurts to know I'm not part of it
Far behind your thoughts I can't help but see the man I can never be
Still somewhere resides a dream of you and I, so backward and so confined
High above the crops a shape and it’s yours reminds me of what you look like
Far below the seas is where I should live but your hook won't let me free
Pretty, pretty please
I'm right there on my knees
Pretty, pretty please
Come and rescue me
My shoulders are too large for what my chest can bare
