Dangerous



this is a story of a single mind 

concentrating on a patch of clover



how come

you treat me like the furniture 

and how come

you see me like a window pane



this is dangerous

this is dangerous



this is a story of a single mind concentrating on 

a four leaf clover



how come

the walls are white im made of ice

and how come

the sun shines so bright



this is dangerous

this is  dangerous

this is dangerous



sun shine save me do you love me

sun shine save me do you love me

sun shine save me do you love me

do you

do you

do you

do you

All we could possibly want



watch me fade away

you'll all stop watching

and nothing will change



all we wanted to say

was it's all the same



but this time we all had enough

and this time we'll all get high enough

and this time we all say 

we got all we could possibly want



so what's there to be so scared of

everything's so taken care of

so what you got on your mind



watch me i'm on the beach

washing the sand off my feet



but this time we all had enough

and this time we'll all get high enough

and this time we all say 

we got all we could possibly want



so what's there to be so scared of

everything's so taken care of

so what you got on your mind

Breakdown



hey sweetheart

get in the car

i'll make you a star

just get in



I know that the days go by

like kitchen knives

dull enough to bruise your eyes

I just want to say goodbye

before I die



good bye girlfriend

see we're about as green as it gets



I've seen something drowning

there's something about it

that's so outside

I just want to say goodbye

before I die



before I die



it's all for you

it's all for you



and I know it will get around

breakdown

and I know it will get around

breakdown

and I know it will get around

breakdown

and I know it will get around

breakdown

Fire



i'm not the same since I changed my name

and walked outside the airplane



now I got sugar coated eyes

I got some sugar in my eyes

and I cry candy sometimes



this is no regular disease

there's nothing wrong with me

I just don't feel the need



I can see for centuries

so I can see why it's tempting

to walk outside in the ouring rain



the crazy thing about rain

a little water everyday

can tear your skin away



this is no regular disease

there's nothing wrong with me

I just don't feel the need



but it's ok with me

it's pain free

but there's like a fire

in my ears

and it's burning all the time

Temptations



temptation in my mind

got a green tongue and white lies



but just imagine what it feels like 

any place any time



you are much too young to be so much trouble

you are much too young to be so much trouble



like the sand piper sings

its the craziest thing

it sounds like breaking



of me and you in two

me and you in two





temptation in my mind

got pink skin and white lies



but just imagine what it feels 

like any place any time



you are much too young to be so much trouble

you are much too young to be so much trouble



like the sand piper sings

its the craziest thing

it sounds like breaking



like the sand piper sings

its the craziest thing

it sounds like breaking



of me and you in two

me and you in two

Matchbox



shut up she said

I wish I were dead

but she's always glad to see me



cut off my head

I think my body's dead

but she's always glad to see me



but you are better than you will ever guess

you're an angel in a wool dress



shut up she said 

I wish I were dead

but she's always glad to see me



cut off my head

my fingers are a mess

but she's always glad to see me



but you are better than you will ever guess

you're an angel in a wool dress



and she said

ooh I recognize you

it's good to finally meet you

now fuck off



once I had a matchbox a little matchbox

with a picture of an angel asleep under a tree

the picture faded with the angel the little angel 

and I kept the box till I was 17

Manuel, you know



I could begin with what it was like as a kid

I spent my whole life in a tail spin

I don't remember it



I was too scared

to ever go anywhere

I pretended that I didn't care

I had nothing there



I should have gone to Rio

I was on the way

I should have made the effort

the wetter the weather the more it aches



couldn't call me a total mistake

someone could blow me away

just set up and shoot



couldn't call me a total mistake

someone could blow me away

just set up and shoot



I could give in and start all over again

and find a new life to relive

and get thin again



but she took me walking

when the water was too cold to get in

she said to forget it

forget everything



I should have gone to Rio

I was on the way

I should have made the effort

the wetter the weather the more it aches



couldn't call me a total mistake

someone could blow me away

just set up and shoot



couldn't call me a total mistake

someone could blow me away

just set up and shoot



just set up and shoot



just set up and shoot
