TRINKETS
close your eyes
for every night has its secrets
come claim your prize
from this tub of filthy trinkets
defy the wind
let me come in
though all the doors they might
swing wide
you slashed for days
and walked roads unpaved
but you will lay here with me tonight
a clever child
oh but you grew up so haunted
the flames run wild
oh, was this not what you wanted?
defy the wind
don’t let them in
for you are sworn now to me
my love
the saints parade
while dancing profane
but still they pray on their knees
for love
and so we cast off
in that burned balloon
returned up to the sky
then a fabulous fall
and farewell to you all
well i never was much of one
for goodbyes
open your eyes
now you are just another secret
the serpent unwinds
you ask “darling, can we keep it?”
yes i’m the wind
and i’m coming in
and all the doors
they shall swing wide
we slashed for days
and walked roads unpaved
but you will lay here with me tonight

i’m putting on a show
for the tawdry chemist
he knows just what to do
you play it all off
but you couldn’t care less
as long as i keep coming through
i take it all off
for the vicodin cowboys
take it all off
gonna make some big noise
take it all off
for the vicodin cowboys
you know how i do
when i do it for you
i’m getting real lost
in your drugstore kisses
you know i’m gonna
stay the night
and even if this world
gets a little bit vicious
i know it’s gonna be alright
i take it all off
for the vicodin cowboys
take it all off
gonna spread some big joy
take it all off
for the vicodin cowboys
you know what i’ll do
when i do it for you
i don’t beleive in phantoms
i don’t believe that you’ll be
coming back to me
i don’t believe in the anthems
of them carny code priests
who say they see right through me
i don’t believe in your drugstore kisses
i don’t believe in forbidden wishes
i don’t believe in some lucky star
or the way you strum that tin guitar
i don’t believe in the vicodin cowboys
i don’t believe in the vicodin cowboys
i’m putting on a show
for the tawdry chemist
he knows just what to do
you play it all off but you couldn’t
care less
as long as i keep coming through
and i keep coming through

you’re swinging from the gate
licking pennies right out
of the collection plate
your sidearm’s got you brave
spending quality time down in
your rental grave
it’s time to follow through
you’ve got a bad ole case
of sour candy blues
… in your fancy shoes
the trashman knows your pain
the sin it hangs on you
like a fresh coat of paint
come be his junkyard queen
tracing rainbows in the spilled gasoline
the sour candy blues
dripping from your nose
right down to your shoes
,,, down on your fancy shoes
now let me tell ya what i saw last night
you drive
i’ll scheme
if you writhe i’m gonna talk about it
jigsaw in midair
i don’t care, sour candy everywhere
if you lean
on my screen
you fiend!
later on we’ll laugh about it
do you swear
that you’d stare?
i don’t care, sour candy everywhere
the trashman knows your hurts
he wants to share
a flash of that mystery
he wants to lift the curse
he wants to share the burden
of your luxuries
the sour candy blues
dripping from your nose
right down to your shoes
… down to your fancy shoes

and we can dance
mr disco
we can dance
mr disco
and we can dance
and when we scale the catacombs,
god you’re gullible
i’m gonna shake those lazy bones
to see what you’ve been through
mr disco
i want you to hold me
hold me like you know me
mr disco
send me a letter
tell me that you love me better
lover, spider
i wanna feel you come in close
traitor in the crater
fashion now a double dose of that poison
and when you climbed the guillotine
did you do it for love?
ya cut yourself to pieces, no
i still don’t think it’s enough
mr disco
sing me a song now
make me feel the belief
mr disco
drag me along now
as i’m pulled down underneath
mr disco
i want bloodshed
on the dance floor
i want bloodshed mr disco

took another shot to see
03:36
|

|
and when the fever broke
you took me up in your arms
you told that same savage joke
it filled me
with the same alarm
i took another shot to see
if i’d still feel the same
and i did
as the crimson sky beat down
like a flame
and i don’t feel the blade
no, it slips in deep and i’m glad
glad you came
you saluted your dead eye reflection
waving that bottle around
told yourself not to expect too much
drank until you couldn’t fall down
i pulled myself to pieces
trying to let you know
that i could still play the stranger
that you crave
don’t let go
and i don’t feel the blade
no, it slips in deep and i’m glad
glad you came
i woke in a hallway
skull tight, hands wet and ripped
and someone said they saw you go
they wouldn’t say
who you were with
i took another shot to see
if i could, like, disapear
and i did
but then the tide dragged me back
and it left me, left me here
now let me feel the blade please
it slips in deep and it pins me down
there’s no pain

you & me and the devil
03:13
|

|
yes i’ve seen you out there
dancing
i think you’re going to be okay
i’ll lay my hands
right upon your mask
and then you’ll say
what you’re going to say
caught you at my broken window
said you were trying
to photograph a ghost
when i invited you in though
you said that i’m the one
that scares you the most
now i’m feeling alright
said i’m feeling alright
i’m not even sure this is necessary
so when the devil comes calling
comes two stepping right up
to your door
i’m sure there’s hesitations but
how else you think you’re
gonna ever get cured?
are you feeling alright?
yeah i’m feeling alright
i’m not even sure this is necessary
you feeling alright?
i said i’m feeling alright
i’m not even sure this is necessary
you and me and the devil makes 3
we’ll clap with joy
and throw our souls
to the breeze

gonna howl
02:15
|

|
we’re gonna meet in the abbatoir
we’ll take our feed from the mojo hand
we’re gonna see who we really are
and we’ll succumb to the witch’s commands
you’re gonna howl for me
you’re gonna howl for me
we must electrocute your soul
we must electrocute your soul
you’re gonna howl for love
we’re gonna howl
we’re gonna strip in the swamp that’s right
we’ll share our dreams of the abattoir
you’ll be baptized in the fractured light
and then we’ll see who we really are
you’re gonna howl for me
you’re gonna howl for me
we will electrocute your soul
we shall electrocute your soul
we’re gonna howl for love
we’re gonna howl

romance
03:35
|

|
here in our bent up
bed of nails
the darker side of romance
tonight we’ll split our hearts and
cast off the veil
the darker side of romance
we’ll all of us get the tidy death
we deserve
the darker side of romance
you strip me down to the quick
we don’t say a word
the darker side of romance
wake up!
i don’t want you to go
fall asleep at the wheel
fall asleep at the wheel now
take off
i don’t know if you know
you borrow
what you should steal
borrow what you should steal now
meet me in the shade
of the withered high rise
the darker side of romance
i tend my garden here
but the flowers all die
the darker side of romance
wake up!
i don’t want you to go
fall alseep at the wheel
fall asleep at the wheel now
shake off
i don’t know if you know
you borrow
what you should steal
borrow what you should steal now
tomorrow i’ll toast your health
all alone
the darker side of romance
while you make love
to yourself by a broken payphone
the darker side of romance

i’ve been counting time
in a doorway
just cowering from the rain
yeah i know
i’m nothing special
still i’d like the chance to explain
i’ve been missing
certain pieces
since i goddamn don’t know when
and you’re always looking
for trouble
with a good friend
tell me that you’re coming home tonight
tell me that you’re coming home
tonight
so i shared a drink
with a good friend just
a good friend
did she touch me?
now just tell me, would it
really make a difference?
leave me raving
in the rain now
and i’ll scrape my heart away
then i’ll lay me down
with a bad friend
just a bad friend
tell me that you’re coming home tonight
tell me that you’re coming home
tonight

goodnight goodnight!
04:47
|
|||
|
so tell me please
who’s been fooling whom
you’re gonna stand up your date
in the jaws of a jagged back room
and the man with the pistol
keeps on playing charades
he’s gonna bond with your mrs
leave us whistling on that
frozen highway goodnight
goodnight goodnight
so show me what you’ve got
hidden in your garage
i could tell you what i’ve seen
but it might’ve been a mirage
now the pencilneck pushers
they have traded your soul
for a taste on deposit
and you know there’s nowhere left
to go goodnight
goodnight goodnight
c’mere
i wanna show you something
c’mere
so let’s get lost
on a makeshift holiday
let’s forget who we are or let’s
drink until we cannot say
and i don’t wanna know what it was
that you think you saw
when you fell in love with me
now politely allow me to gnaw goodnight
goodnight goodnight
