How To Look Naked
I had see'd people bleed and I thought I'd seen it all
but my own two eyes would prove me wrong that day.
There are things that I done only seen by the sun
and those things will be buried in my grave.
The crows and the buzzards will pick your bones clean.
No name of your's will be upon the wall.
Hogtied on Halloween and raped by magazines
We line up on the edge to watch you fall.
No one knows you don't take off your clothes
You took to the land like fishes take to sand.
You clambered up your cross to raise your flag.
Made tissue paper sails. Used thread instead of nails.
Your autograph was carved across your back.
We thought that you were done, but then you grabbed your gun.
You pushed and barked and ran full speed ahead.
You tore over the hill. We cannot find you still.
We hit the lights and hoped that you'd be dead.
No one knows you don't take off your clothes.
We hope we'll get to see you fall through the canopy.
With a stomach full of blood, you'll find the ground..
We Light Up
I got my camera, I'm gonna take your picture tonight, and you can see what you look like.
You got your camera, you're gonna take my picture tonight, and I can see what I look like too,
with you, who knew that we'd look so good beaten black and blue.
You got your hair tied back and your fur coat on. You call your girlfriends up and then we're gone.
We gonna meet down the street and we're drinking for free,
we pinky shake as you order your martini.
One last round and away we go, we run a little bit late, but make the show.
They were getting pretty friendly in the back of the car.
We gotta fight that crowd to reach that bar.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
Your discotheque won't play my song.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
I got my camera, I'm gonna take your picture tonight, and you can see what you look like.
You got your camera, you're gonna take my picture tonight, and I can see what I look like too,
with you, who knew that we'd look so good beaten black and blue.
Well the band goes on, but we digress.
We gotta take the back stairs for roof access.
We can hear the city scream as we yell from the top.
It's 12:19 and we won't stop.
Late night lurks are underground.
Downstairs snares and ugly sounds.
I'm gonna make a proposition that I know you're about.
We're going back to your place to act it out.
And then we'll rage in the city all night long.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
Your discotheque won't play my song.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
The bridge, the tower, the top of the roof. We light up the night and we're taking it to.
House to house, and mouth to mouth. The fire escapes we shake where the sky scrapes.
The flights rise, and they collide. Tonight we will not be denied.
I could see that you were trouble from the moment we met,
but sometimes I've gotta live out what I'm gonna regret.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
Your discotheque won't play my song.
We're gonna rage in the city all night long.
I Want You To
Drop the ship in the water and don't look back
Paint the stables red and the fire black
We watch the white horse run
White horse ride from the cell in it's cellar
Gonna get inside
Read the face on the shitter right between the ears
As his holes don't close when he's spitting spears
There's an eye of a liar on the other side
And a hole through the chest of the one that died
I want you to
You giveth away because
I want you to
You taketh away because
I want you to
You kiss on the lips because
I want you to
