Lyrics: Elixir

Heartblack Amnesiac

I never said a word that you could not repeat
Curling up into your lap was such a luxury
I'll never tell a soul (Oh, please don't tell anyone)
Though it will hurt me so

Is nothing sacred? Are you throwing me away?
When I could be persuaded to make anything go your way
I've got your picture on my wall
I know you'll never call

'cause you'll forget while I believe
that my devotion's all you need
I'll take the flack and won't turn back
heartblack amnesiac

I could replace you with another face today
But I'll never learn how to earn what it takes so I turn to rebellion you can tell
By the broken arrows on the floor
Where Cupid tried before

So you'll forget while I believe
that my devotion's all you need
I'll take the flack and won't turn back
heartblack amnesiac

I do not accept my rescue from the glittering mess I've made
With your image on my shelf while I'm playing with myself
'cause the hand I've been dealt is a merciless thing
Won't you remember me
when the melody
that was playing when we met dances through your room?
Your faint heart's black from the love that you lack
From way way way way back - heartblack amnesiac

You used to want me for yourself
But you don't want anyone to know
I listen to our voice on my answering machine
Erase the ones where you deny that you love me

'cause you'll forget while I believe
that my devotion's all you need
I'll take the flack and won't turn back
heartblack amnesiac

Yes you'll forget while I believe
that my devotion's all you need
Your faint heart's black from the love that you lack
From way way way way back ...

I believe that you'll forget
That you and I have ever met
You'll think again before you regret
Heartblack amnesiac


Secret Special Toy Surprise

All the pearls my father gave me were made of wisdom and they cost him his life
Like smoking
and bikinis make you pregnant in the summertime
He told me how to be successful
He gave me all the right suggestions
and I'll bellyflop into his molten ashes
anything for some illumination

I don't want all the answers
All I wants the SSTS
And I'll reach all the way to the bottom
All I want's the SSTS

I decided I would be wealthy
then one day I was and you were there
cuz I went to all the experts on beauty money power and rock-n-roll hair
They told me how to be effective. They gave the freshest information
and I'll penetrate through all the deviations
anything for some illumination

I don't want all the answers
All I wants the SSTS
And I'll claw my way down to the bottom
All I want's the SSTS
No, I don't want all the answers
All I wants the SSTS
And I'll meet you down there at the bottom
All I want's the SSTS

I have walked the ocean floor inside of me looking for something I can't see or describe
It's about the trip the destination finding you.
You move out of sight from the ordinary gaze of simple feeling
- intangible as night, welcoming as rays of light.
Look too hard and you will lose the meaning
But I will venture forth until my wings change color in the sun
through the very things that slow me down
Stone, sand, paper and chains and
communication breakdowns I won't try to explain...

Now I wonder what I offer
pumping my stomach to human kind
Like the demons I created running rampant in a pregnant mind
They told me how to cheat the champions
They gave me scary information
And I'll power dive through all the broken people
anything for some illumination

Cuz I don't want all the answers
All I wants the SSTS
I'll scream my way down to the bottom
All I want's the SSTS
No, I don't want all the answers
All I wants the SSTS
And I'll meet you way down at the bottom
All I want's the SSTS


Bete Noire

All that's wicked comes to pass and now it's time you go
And when all evil eats itself, I'm happier, you know
To take 2 moments to collide with everything that I have spoiled
So I can have the strength to wreak out all the insects in my soil
Consuming bitterly the sleep that I hoped I deserved
That's hidden deeply in the marrow of the white lines in my road
I am here and now
You are over and out
I'm on automatic pilot and there's no stopping me now

UNWIND from the lead in my spine
I'M DONE with your harness and reigns
WITH YOU your blame and demand
FOR GOOD for me forever

The radio was blasting in her busy head again
inviting all the voices getting louder swear to be her friends
And though they bickered, bitched and scratched behind their mama's thorny back,
she nurtured each and every one of them because they made her laugh
into the big blue sky searching madness for her freedom
ringing bells seducing our forgiving nature never ends
I am here and now
You are over and out
I am every waking moment and there's no stopping me now

Please release this black beast off my back - Unwind from my spine this black beat of mine

Well, there you are at knifepoint on a balmy yellow nigh
You're so pathetic in my waking dream I wonder if you might
Just move a muscle in reality if I were to say "boo"
From underneath your whispers or just outside your room

I am here and now
I'm on automatic pilot and there's no stopping me now


Jets

Thank you
for the blindfold and the smoke
I should have seen it coming, I'm the punchline to your joke
While the discipline for leaving
is subtle and deceiving
I really can't complain
if I'm flying on an aeroplane

My love still holds the shape of things to come
And if I wasn't finished now darlin' I am done
Blessed by Jets
I'm overhead and I'm over you

I can thank you for your kindness
in another hemisphere
A patient anticlimax
for the very things I feared
I know you've heard me cry
like an animal in pain
I guess I can't complain
when I'm flyin' like an aeroplane

I'll miss you so but it was time to go
And if I had a minute I'd show you but I don't
Blessed by Jets
I'm overhead and I'm over you

No Human Words

The widowed whale never cried like this
How could I behave for that tranquil speech you gave
That ripped out chunks of me and served it like another's flesh
Is it too much to ask for you to understand

It would have been easier if you'd gone in a car crash
It would have been easier if you'd gone away forever
I can't get used to being something you don't want to touch
I'm not prepared to hemorrhage these emotions

There are no human words for this The human mouth cannot express What cannot find a moment's rest There are no human words for this

The beauty pageant of this world is always cruel
And the winning envelope has lost its perfume
Good things are so delicious to abuse
What have you let loose? This hole this thing this pain -
It does not feed on grass or grain

There is no sleep that's unpolluted by your lovely face
The memories are now poisoned by my ugly rage
I could forgive you if you'd gone in a car crash
Your consolations are the spit in the rapist's hand

There are no human words for this The human mouth cannot express What cannot find a moment's rest There are no human words for this

This year's favorite might be next year's whipping boy
My sorrow's greater for the joy of hat we had before
If you had a single arrow you could find no place in me to make a wound that is not bruised, that's not in pain

Damn it. pain. Why? pain. Stupid. pain. Wake up. pain. Cold Turkey. pain. Make it stop. pain.
Shut up. pain. I'm sorry. pain. Can't think. pain. Bitter. pain. Where are you? pain. Who is she? pain. Pathetic. pain. ...and it was worth it... pain. You're done. What's next?

There are no human words for this The human mouth cannot express What cannot find a moment's rest There are no human words for this


Good Intentions

The road to hell is paved with good intentions
The road to hell is paved with good intentions

I meant well, I meant well I didn't mean to make you cry
I meant well, I meant well I didn't mean to make you cry

The road to hell is paved with good intentions
The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Well there's salt in my wounds and blood on my hands and fear in this belly of mine
Now there's salt in my wounds and blood on my hands and fear in this belly of mine

Maybe there's nothing I've got to prove
but there's a hole in me that used to be you
What wouldn't I give for your affection
crawling through the mud of my good intentions

The road to hell is paved with good intentions
The road to hell is paved with good intentions

I can't tell I can't tell right from wrong
I can't tell I can't tell right from wrong

Maybe there's something I've got to prove
but there's a hole in me that used to be you
I've beggared my soul and my imagination
cradled in the arms of my good intentions

And Maybe I don't know what to say when I crush all the good
that I gambled and beggared my
soul and my imagination
cradled in the arms of my good intentions


Reina Roja (es)

En la corte de la reina roja
No tengo nada que decir
si te atreves, no te la pierdes
vale la pena a subir

Ella me conoce todos los rincones
donde guardo los tesoros
y basura en mis ojos
donde tengo que ser fiel aunque no me viene bien
y de momento no entiendo a

Mi Reina, me llama
Se que estoy perdida

En silencio me acaban
Los venenos de la semana
No me quiero ver amarga
Pero no puedo con la carga

Mi Reina, ligera
Mueve me para entender

Este desorden no me cabe bien
En el fango de mi placer

y si canto sin complejo
sera claro en el sordido espejo
que pregunta todo junto, las ampollas si son suya
dame todo que hace bulla
porque golpes no insultan

Mi Reina, Te Espera
En la ceniza de tus ideas

Este desorden no me cabe bien
Lleveme al amanecer


Reina Roja (en)

Is there something that you think you're missing
well there's nothing to be said
If you feel majestic but you're domestic
I think I know what's in your head

I know you're just aching from the pills you're taking
from the trash your parents left you
from Manhattan turned to ashes
I wish reason was in season but instead
we're just believing in the flavors we are eating

Take your bow, You know how
Before we forget you now

Interference getting clearer
In the morning growing nearer
I don't mean to be suspicious
but I think logic is nutritious

Take your bow. Find your crown
Your crimson queen is underground

The tenor of the times is satisfied
to be singing without rhyme

You collected. I inspected.
and it's clear that we're all infected
There's a case for evolution but I swear that I'm not used to
all the worries of the future
cuz I'm vain and you're abusive, won't you

Take your bow in your finest hour
You're in charge, aren't you now?

So, is it too late to save the day?
Hurry up and don't be late


Side Effects

Contained. Contained too long I'll sting myself
I'm stained and wrong about the strong
astonishing things become everyday things
I don't know how I'm going to make it now

Waking up is now complex
I'm suffering from side effects
The wreckage I've seen is making me so mean
I can't decide if I've been crucified

Unveiled too long I'll be myself
Exhaling all that I saw fall
There's nothing left that I can prevent
I will never be the same again

I want you here....

Waking up is now complex
I'm suffering from side effects
There's nothing left that I can prevent
I will never be the same again
Waking up is now complex
I'm suffering from side effects (x3)

Frame of Mine

She stole David's bowie knife
to fix a crack in the zodiac
then she gave it back
with all her motives satisfied

Bi-coastal, by design
By accident, you're fine

She won't kill more than she can eat
There's nothing she can't be

All eyes on you...

In this frame of mine
You can picture this
deep inside your right mind

Running long and burning bright
Take back the love she left behind
There's nothing that you dream of
that can't be here tonight

Bi-coastal, by design
By accident, you're fine
Surrender to the architects
of Beauty's master mind

All eyes on you...

In this frame of mine
You can picture this
deep inside your right mind


Morgan of You

I confess. I'm so obsessed.
I'd do your penitence, go into debt,
show strangers my evidence,
contrive coincidence,
invoke the elements to be near your silhouette.
I'll be promiscuous, I'll be chaste
I'll be people that I love to hate
I want to be your aftertaste
I'll be the one you want when I'm away

I could be gentle. I know you're strange.
I'm looking forward to the new terrain.
Here's a picture, time and place
I'll take my chances enjoying my mistakes
I've been the hunter. I've been chased.
and I regret the moments gone to waste
All I want is a simple exchange
Where you want me so bad that I cannot escape
Give me a warning I cannot refuse
Just tell me what to do 'cause I'm
Morgan of you


One Day

They recognize each other though they have never met
A part of the same arm of God

I know you

There is no pain, no common sense
There is no way - We point the way
No length, we will not go
We are the ones you've been waiting for

One Day
We're standing in the snow
One Day
We're waiting in the garden
Sometimes
We wait for you to wave goodbye
Cause we'll be here one day

We recognize each other though we have never met
A part of the same arm of God

There is no pain, no common sense
There is no way (you can escape)
There is no length, we will not go
We are the ones you've been waiting for

One Day
We're standing in the snow
One Day
We're waiting in the garden
Sometimes
We wait for you to wave goodbye
Cause we'll be here one day

There are no answers you don't know
Have Faith

You'll come here knowing that this must
be the place

All Your Life... I Know You


While The City Sleeps

While the city sleeps I am wide awake
Not an easy candidate for peace of mind today

My plans are gone cuz life gets in the way
I'm free enough to let you know that you are free to go

While the city sleeps you race against the tide
faster than a thought, deeper than desire

Good Boy
Come through
It's what you do
While the city sleeps tonight
Good Boy
Come through I just need you to shine
While the city sleeps tonight

My machinery dispenses some tranquility
I've wrapped myself around my work and left no one to tell

that I'm in need of subtle guarantees
and if I'm still here I know there's one who'll be my parallel

Right on time-Think fast-it happens in a flash
A lifetime of regret begins ten seconds in the past
but So far, so good
it's clearly understood
We make what we trust
We create both love and lust
Good Boy
Come through
It's what you do
While the city sleeps tonight
Good Boy
Come through I just need you to shine
While the city sleeps tonight
(break, repeat chorus)
