Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song

Through our bleeding, we are one. Through the darkness breaks the light. Through the light unending pain. Deify the wretched ones till the darkness comes again.

Kill aspirations away Embrace a dream that was a nightmare only yesterday True friends forgotten and all hope's been traded in Exchanging them all for what, for what?

It would be wrong to ask you why Because I know what goes inside Its only half of what comes out Isn't that what its about!? Its about, to remind us we're alive To remind us we're not blind In that big black Hole Comfortable...

I live in a town called Millhaven And it's small and its's mean and it's cold But if you come around just as the sun goes down You can watch the whole thing turn to gold It's around about then that I used to go a-roaming Singing la la la la la la la lie All God's children they all gotta die
My name is Loretta but I prefer Lottie I'm closing in on my fifteenth year And if you think you have seen a pair of eyes more green Then you sure haven't seen them around here My hare is yellow and I'm always a-combing la la la la La la lie Mama often told me we all have to die
You must have heard about The Curse of Milhaven How last Christmas Bill Blake's little boy didn't come home They found him the next week in One Mile Creek His head bashed in and his pockets full of stones Well, just imagine the wailing and moaning La la la la La la la lie Even little Billy Blake, he had to die
Then Professor O'rye from Millhaven High Found nailed to his door, his prize winning terrier The next day the old fool brought little Biko to school And we all had to watch as he buried her His eulogy to Biko had all the tears a-flowing La la la la La la la lie Even God's little creatures, they have to die
Our little town fell into a state of shock A lot of people were saying things that made little sense Then the next thing you know the head of Handyman Joe Was found in the fountain of the Mayor's residence Foul play can really get a small town going La la la la la la la lie All God's children all have to die
Then, in a cruel twist of fate, old Mrs. Colgate Was stabbed but the job was not complete The last thing she said before the cops pronounced her dead Was,"My killer is Loretta and she lives across the street!" Twenty cops burst through my door without even phoning La la la la La la la lie The young ones and old ones, they all gotta die
Yes it is I lottie The curse of Millhaven I've struck horror in the heart of this town Like my eyes ain't green and my hair ain't yellow It's more like the other way around I've got a pretty little mouth underneath all the foaming La la la la La la la lie Sooner or later we all gotta die
Since I was no bigger than a weevilthey've been sayin I was evil That if "bad" was a boot then I'd fit it That I'm a wicked young lady, but I've been trying hard lately O **** it! I'm a monster I admit it! It makes me so mad my blood really starts a-going La la la la la la la lie Mama always told me that we all gotta die
Yeah, I drowned the Blakey kid, stabbed Mrs. Colgate, I admit Did the handyman with his circular saw in the garden shed But I never crucified little Biko, that was two junior high school psychos Stinky Bohoon and his frien with the pumpkin-sized head I'll sing to the lot now you got me going La la la la La la la lie All God's children have all gotta die
There were all of the others, all out sisters and brothers You assumed were accidents, best forgotten Recall the children who broke through the ice in lake Tahoo? Everyone assumed the "Warning" signs had followed them to the bottem Well, they're underneath the House where I do quite a bit of stowing La la la la La la la lie Even twenty little children, they had to die

They did something Which meant something And that got them some attention Eyes wise A roller coaster ride Great pride in this invention I think they're selling Snake oil At the dog and pony show In the garden gee Would you pardon me And by the way how does it grow? 1,2 what's in the stew 3,4 no one's really sure 5,6 what's in the mix 7,8 this stuff tastes

Have mercy on me sir Allow me to impose on you I have no place to stay And my bones are cold right through I will tell you a story Of a man and his family And I swear that it is true
Ten years ago I met a girl named joy She was a sweet and happy thing her Eyes were bright blue jewels And we were married in the spring I had no idea what happiness alittle love could bring Or what life had in store But all things move toward their end All things move toward their end On that you can be sure
Then one morining I awoke to find her weeping And for many days to follow She grew so sad and lonely Became Joy in name only Within her breast there launched an unnamed sorrow And a dark and grim force set sail Fare well happy fields Where joy forever dwells Hail horrors hail
Was it an act of contrition or some awful premonition As if sh saw into the heart of her final blood soaked night Those lunatic eyes that hungry kitchen knife Ah I see sir that I have your attention! Whatcould it be?
How often I've asked that question well then in quick succession We had babies one two three

Remembering when I was a young man And everything seemed to turn against me The world was dark it was an alien place The sun was covered by a dark cloud And so I tried, but couldn't find a way to escape The only way to go was straight down...
Does it hurt? No, it really doesn't matter Does it burn? Oh, yeah, it don't mean a thing Does it sting? Oh yeah, it really doesn't matter Does it hurt? Yeah but I don't give a **** I don't mind just a little pain, oh no, oh yeah

Did you see me falling down from heaven Breaking every bone I have So I tried to touch the sun I had another fall You can do the math How much more is what they'll say I've watched their smiles fade away I've watched their black and white turn grey Their picture perfect world decay today

Attack Bullets are flying People are dying with madness surrounding all hell's breaking loose Soldiers are hounding Bodies are mounting cannons are shouting to take their abuse With war machines going Blood starts to flowing No mercy given to anyone hear The furious fighting Swords are like lighting It all becomes frightening to you Know death is near No remorse

Stay with me a while Rise above the vile Name my final rest Poured into my chest
Pledge yourself to me Never leave me be Sweat breaks on my brow Given time ends now
Spirit painted sin Embers neath my skin Veiled in pale embrace Reached and touched my face
Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead Halo of death, all I see is departure Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr

They call her name at 7:30 I pace around the parking lot Then I walk down to buy her flowers And sell some gifts that I got Can't you see It's not me you're dying for Now she's feeling more alone Than she ever has before
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
As weeks went by It showed that she was not fine They told me son, it's time to tell the truth She broke down, and I broke down Cause I was tired of lying
Driving home to her apartment For a moment we're alone Yeah she's alone I'm alone Now I know it
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

Well the first little piggy was a kinda hippy He spent most of his days Just a dreamin of the city Then one day he bought a guitar He moved to Hollywood to become a star Now livin on the farm he knew nothing of the city Built his house out of straw what a pity Then one day Jammin on some chords along came the wolf knocking at his door

Well the second little piggies house was garbage picks Mostly made up of old cans and sticks huffin and puffin down on Venice beach gettin payed money for religious speech then one day crankin up a "Marley" Along came the wolf on his Big Bad Harley
Little pig Little pig let me in! Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin! Little pig Little pig let me in! Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin! Well I'm huffin I'm puffin I'll blow your house in Huffin puffin blow your house in! Huffin and a puffin I will blow your house in!
The third little piggy Grade A student His daddy was a rockstar Named Pig Nugent Earned his masters degree from Harvard college Built his house from his architect knowledge Tri-level mansion Hollywood hills Daddies rock stardome payed for the bills Then one day came the old house smasher The big bad Wolf the little piggy Slasher

And the moral to this story is...A band with no talent can easily amuse idiots with a stupid puppet show.

The time has come for everyone To stop and join the fun Love walks down my street Through the door and into my heart

Good morning, it’s 3am in this great roaring City full of garbage eaters ravaging parking Spots beneath my plaza window I see cheetah in their Tight skins and tired heels all-night hippo in The diner crossing the street swarthy heards of young Impala flambastic gibbon even a struggling monza And over there that brilliant head ornament on that Japanese macaque but look closely at the hammerhead hand In hand with the mandrill, it’s a sight you’re Unlikely to see anywhere else on the planet...
The stench and noise, yes, yes, the howler’s Resonating repertoire is not too bad when mixed with The more musical twern of the tropical warbler but the Impatient taxi blare the squawking elderly ibis and The glass-eye snapper hawking papers I can certainly Live without also be cautious of the poisonous Boomslang laughter social droppings of the fruit bat And purple queen fish and who’s that babbler conversing With a magazine stand? evidently he’s getting a good Reply...
Arrive in neurotica Through neon heat disease I swear at the swarming heards I sweat the foul terrain I rove the moving scenery I have no fin No wing no stinger No claw no camouflage I have no more to say...
Say...isn’t that an elephant fish on the corner over There look at that blush baby mud puppy noolbenger Rhinoderma marmoset spring peeper shingleback skink Siren skate starling sun-gazer spoonbill and suckers, They seem to be everywhere, well it’s a live revue Random animal parts now playing nightly right here in neurotica... So long...

"The last train is nearly due, The underground is closing soon, And in the dark deserted station, Restless in anticipation, A man waits in the shadows.
His restless eyes leap and snatch, At all that they can touch or catch, And hidden deep within his pocket, Safe within its silent socket, He holds a coloured crayon."

I am tall and I am thin Of an enviable height And I'ce been know to be quite handsome From a certain angle and a certain light
Well Ienteredinto Omalleys SaidOmalley I have a thirst Omalley merely smiled at me said you wouldn't be the first
I knocked on the bar and pointed to a bottle on the shelf And asOmalley poured me out a drink I sniffed and crossed myself
My hand decided that the time was ish And for a moment it slipped from view And when it returned it fairly burned with confidence anew
Well the thunder from my steely fist Made all the glasses jangle When I shot him I was so handsome It was the light it was the angle
Neighbours I cried friends ! I screamed I banged my fist upon the bar I bear no grudge against you And my dick felt long and hard I am the man for which no God waits Forwhich the whole world yearns I'mmarkedby darkness and by blood And onethosandpowder-burns
Well you Know those fish with the swollen lips That clean the ocean floor? When I looked at poor Omalleys wife That is exactly what I saw

Sew your fortunes on a string And hold them up to light Blue smoke will take A very violent flight And you will be changed Sand everything And you will be in a very sad sad zoo.

I awake - without the sun Encased in walls of steel Terror so real - it blinds me
Rancid darkness steals my breath The Pit - on the edge of death The wells of Hell know not my name
I slip away. . . into black I fade away
Terrified - to the left and to the right Spirit of the Damned, iron shadows cast Hear my desperate cries Shrieking demon - far and wide Praying for this breath to be my last

The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout. Down came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. And the itsy bitsy spider went in the spout again.
The itsy bitsy spider crawled in from the sun . Crept into the crib, found a baby bun. Baby kept a-cryin' 'till mommas' work was done. And the itsy bitsy spider crawled back out in the sun .
The itsy bitsy spider crawled into momma's bed. Crawled up on her hubby and bit him in the head. Momma lay there sleepin' while hubby lay there dead. And the itsy bitsy spider crawled outta momma's bed.
The itsy bitsy spider crawled into momma's shoe. Momma was forlorn and didn't know what to do. She tried to go for help But her foot was turnin' blue. And the itsy bitsy spider crawled outta momma's shoe.
So the itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout. Down came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. And the itsy bitsy spider went in the spout again.

Well I rubbed the dirt all down and I washed away six aching days and my shoes all slick and spit and my singlet fresh and my sideburns shaved As I turn from the mirror and I open my first beer since yesterday Danny brings the Bedford round A three-ton girl with a ten foot tray And she knows the way to town So we kiss goodbye to two weeks pay Now the leaves are shakin' and the stars are waking from the day Big wheels turning (turning all night) Big light burning (burning so bright) Downright foolish but that's alright It's only forty miles to Saturday night.
