TRANSITION LYRICS - Shoelace

TRANSITION LYRICS

"Shoelace"

Late one summer evening

When I got that dreadful call

The voice on the other line

Was crying in hysterical

Once they found her lying

Next to the bed I sat right there

I tore up all the pictures

Thought back realized I didn't care



Ask me why

It's hard to find

Trust in someone else's eyes

When the past fades to gray

Question what you ask and find a way

HORSE THE BAND LYRICS - Birdo

HORSE THE BAND LYRICS

"Birdo"

Bird..... Ooooooooooooooooooooo!!!



The geek, with no beak:

He's so weak he cannot speak!

The geek, with no beak:

He's so weak he cannot speak!



Vestigial wings

And dwarven legs.

A semper fi cranium

That's got automatic eggs.

His gaping maw

Is geared to spew.

He just might be a she

So Birdette will do!!



Go eat your eggs!

Force fed, force fed.

Go eat your eggs!

Out of his mouth-

Straight at your head!!



With purple pants,

(They start to tear)

I reach out with all my might to

Poke out an eye.

I poke out an eye!

I poke out an eye!



My seven year old smile:

Vanishing!

Eggs,

Why eggs?!

It's breaking my heart.

It's hurting my nose.

It's turning my skin green!

Why did you have to be so mean?!



In my dreams I despise you

More than you'll ever know.

Even when I speak your name

It makes me fucking choke!



Bird...... Ooooooooooooo!!!



Bird......



Throw it back!

Throw it back!

Throw it back!

Throw it back!



Throw it back!

Throw it back!

Throw it back!

Throw it back!

THE HIPPOS LYRICS - Slow It Down

THE HIPPOS LYRICS

"Slow It Down"

I can give you something to break

If you just let me know

The road of destruction you've paved

How much longer will it take?

Save yourself before it's passed

You know you're never gonna last

You're never gonna last

You're never gonna last

You know you're never gonna last

We'll see you later on the way out

So you best get out of the way

We understand the point you failed to make

Calm down didn't mean to shout

Brace yourself you're going too fast

You know you're never gonna last

You're never gonna last

You're never gonna

Slow it down before you crash

No you're never gonna last

I can give you something to break

If you just let me know

The road to destruction you've paved

How much longer will it take?

Save yourself before it's past

You know you're never gonna last

You're never gonna last

You're never gonna

Slow it down before you crash

You know you're never gonna last

Slow it down before you crash

You're never gonna last

Slow it down before you crash

No you're never gonna last

CHEAP SEX LYRICS - False Pride

CHEAP SEX LYRICS

"False Pride"

He’s Black, He’s white, He’s yellow, He’s blue

He is a Christian, He's a Buddhist, He’s Islamic, He’s a Jew

But in today’s day and age you think we would have learned

That it’s the person you should judge and that respect must be earned.

We have fought over nonsense through the sands of time

War after fucking war, and yet our eyes remain blind.

Too often I hear people say to stick with your own

But I don’t know what that means in this land we call home.



Instead of blaming everyone else

Its time to take dignity off the shelf

Because we all need to live with each other

And for centuries all we’ve done is kill one another - with our false pride.



You talk about pride in your race

As if being born into something is an achievement?

How about doing something with your life -

And then yap your fucking mouth about the pride that you have?

Who gives a flying fuck about your ancestors

When all you do is bitch about everyone else?

The bloodstains on the ground from years of ignorance

All looks red to me.



Spoken:

(Can't You See

These Are The End Of Days?

You Can't Open The Paper

Without Reading About Another Religious War.

You'd Think We'd Heed Our Wake Up Call -

But We Haven't.

So Now Here Comes The Armageddon!)

FALL OUT BOY LYRICS - I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song)

FALL OUT BOY LYRICS

"I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song)"

Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"*

We're the kids who feel like dead ends

And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses

I took a shot and didn't even come close

At trust and love and hope

And the poets are just kids who didn't make it

And never had it at all



And the record won't stop skipping

And the lies just won't stop slipping

And besides my reputation's on the line

We can fake it for the airwaves

Force our smiles, baby, half dead

From comparing myself to everyone else around me



Please put the doctor on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense

Blame everyone but me for this mess

And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart

We never seemed so far

I'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough

But we never had it at all



And the record won't stop skipping

And the lies just won't stop slipping

And besides my reputation's on the line

We can fake it for the airwaves

Force our smiles, baby, half dead

From comparing myself to everyone else around me

to everyone else around me

everyone else around me

everyone else around me



[* CD cover says "JUST friends" here]

KILLING ME INSIDE LYRICS - The Tormented

KILLING ME INSIDE LYRICS

"The Tormented"

For the last time

You waste my tears now

No more torment

But don't just say you've gone away



You tell a fuckin' tale

(Swallow me and spit me out)

How do I get thought of this?

(I can't stand it anymore)



Can, you, see, me...

Smiling when I sing this song

Right, now...

I just want to be alive



You know I was dying when you told me

(That I'm not yours anymore)

You know I was dying when you told me

(You're just playing and fooling around with me)



When the time she comes and wakes me

(She comes and wakes me)

And when she bit my lips and kissed me there

And when she holds my hand and lives my life tonight

(Live tonight)

When she said that she really loves me

Were the worst fucking days



I'm dying and bleeding of my past

I'm dying and bleeding of my past

Now slit my throat and let me bleed

Now slit my throat and let me bleed



Can, you, see, me...

Smiling when I sing this song

Right, now...

I just want to be alive



You know I was dying when you told me

(That I'm not yours anymore)

You know I was dying when you told me

(You're just playing and fooling around with me)



When the time she comes and wakes me

(She comes and wakes me)

And when she bit my lips and kissed me there

And when she holds my hand and lives my life tonight

(Live tonight)

When she said that she really loves me



But suddenly you came to me, and begged me to be yours again

Right now you're holding my hand but sorry baby, but all I can say is

No, hell no...!!!



Can you see the times grows older

She blew my dreams away

It's all done, the time is over

I don't know how to say to you

Can you see the times grows older she blew my dreams away

It's all done, the time is over

I don't know how to say



The time is over!!!

The time, NO!!!

BEATSTEAKS LYRICS

"Sharp, Cool & Collected"

i light the stars

the city calls

i guarantee my heart

i get along

i can't go wrong

And now i am above it all

i work like mad

to shuck and jive
