Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

Life is hard
And so am I
You'd better give me something
So I don't die
Novocaine for the soul
Before I sputter out (x 2)
Life is white
And I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
Oh my darling
Will you be here
Before I sputter out (x 3)
Guess who's living here with the great undead
This paint by numbers life is fucking with my head, once again
Life is good
And I feel great
'Cause mother says I was
A great mistake
Novocaine for the soul
You'd better give me something to fill the hole
Before I sputter out (x 4)

Going over to Susan's house
Walking south down Baxter Street
Nothing hiding behind this picket fence
There's a crazy old woman smashing bottles on the sidewalk where her house burnt down two years ago
People say that back then she really wasn't that crazy
Going over to Susan's house (x 2)
I can't be alone tonight
Down by the Donut Prince a 15 year old boy lies on the sidewalk with a bullet in his forehead, in a final act of indignity the paramedics take off all his clothes for the whole world to see while they put him in the bag
Meanwhile an old couple argues inside the queen bee the sick fluorescent light shimmering on their skin
Going over to Susan's house (x 2)
She's going to make it right
Take a left down at Copark
A kid asks do I like some crack
TV sets are spewing Baywatch
Through the windows into back
Here comes a girl with long brown hair who can't be more than 17
She sucks on a red popsicle while she pushes a baby girl in a pink carraige
And I'm thinking that must be her sister
That must be her sister, right ?
They go into the 711 and I keep walking
And I keep walking
Going over to Susan's house (x 2)
I can't be alone tonight
Going over to Susan's house

There's a spider crawling
On the bathroom mirror
Right on top of my right eye
And I can't stop staring back
How did I get this way
Take a big look at a living lie
Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed
So rags to riches was a bust
Sometimes I dream about
What it's like back home
The railroad tracks and the pussy willow
But I had to leave it
And I go back
Whenever my tired head hits the pillow
Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed
So rags to riches was a bust
Busted once again
But I'll show them one day
That I can buy myself a world
And one day I'll come through
My american dream
But it won't mean
A fucking thing
Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed
So rags to rags and rust to rust
Don't let me go
Rags to rags and rust to rust
Don't let me go
Rags to rags and rust to rust
Don't let me go

You're searching, beautiful freak
I wish there were more just like you
You're not like all of the others
And that is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
That is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
Some people think you have a problem
But that problem lies only with them
Just 'cause you are not like the others
But that is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
That is why I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
To go far in this world
But I hope you will stay
And I'll be here to see that you don't fade away
You're searching beautiful freak
I bet you're flying inside
Duck down, and then go for cover
And know that I, I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
You know that I, I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak (x 3)

There's a world outside
And I know, 'cause I've heard talk
In my sweetest dreams
I would go out for a walk
But I don't think I'm ready yet
I'm not feeling up to it now
I'm just not that steady yet
And I don't need you telling me how
There's some happiness
And my stone face cracks again
Maybe sometime sooner or later
But I don't think I'm ready yet
I'm not feeling up to it now
I'm just not that steady yet
And I don't need you telling me how
So if I leave my room
Don't you tell me to lighten up
Maybe sometime sooner or later
But I don't think I'm ready yet
I'm not feeling up to it now
I'm just not that steady yet
And I don't need you telling me how
I don't need you telling me how (x 6)
I don't, I don't need you telling me how

My beloved monster and me
We go everywhere together
Wearing a raincoat that has 4 sleeves
Gets us through all kinds of weather
She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from living in a world
That's so damn mean
My beloved monster is tough
If she wants she will destroy you
But if you lay her down for a kiss
Her little heart it could explode
She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from living in a world
That's so damn mean
Lalalalalalalalalalalala lalalalalala

Turn the ugly light off God
Wanna feel the night
Everyday it shines down on me
Don't you think that I see (x 2)
What it's all about
Hard to look the other way
While the world passes me by
And everyone is trying to bum me out
It's a pretty big world God
And I am awful small
Everyday they rain down on me
Flower in a hail storm (x 2)
Living for the drought
I can throw it back again
But then I play their game
Everyone is trying to bum me out
When I came into this world they slapped me
And everyday since then I'm slapped again
Tomorrow's kid, and unsightly coward,
You see I know I'm gonna win
Turn the ugly light off God
Don't wanna see my face
Every day it will betray me
Don't you think that I know (x 2)
What they're talking about
If they step on me tonight
They're gonna pay someday
Everyone is trying to bum me out

Are you one of the beautiful people
Is my name on the list
Wanna be of the beautiful people
Wanna feel like I'm missed
Hey you with the walkie talkie
I know my clothes are not right
I wish I had my own walkie talkie
That reached to God every night
Everyone needs to be somebody
Everyone needs to find someone who cares
I don't know if you know what I mean
'Cause I'm never on your list
Are you one of the beautiful people
Am I on the wrong track
Sometimes it feels like I'm made of eggshells
And it feels like I'm gonna crack
Everyone needs to be somebody
Everyone needs to find someone who cares
But I don't know if you know what I mean
'Cause I'm never on your list
I'm never on your list (x 2)

It's like I'm dressed up in my mother's clothing
It's like I'm talking to a voice that doesn't exist
It's like I got a wire crossed upstairs
But all I want is just a little truth and that's it
They say I'm mental but I'm just confused
They say I'm mental but I've been abused
They say I'm mental 'cause I'm not amused by it all
Another anchor man was on the TV
He's got that far away vacant look in his eyes
I turn the channel but nothing is changing
The only truth is that everything is a lie
They say I'm mental but I'm just confused
They say I'm mental but I've been abused
They say I'm mental 'cause I'm not amused by it all
There's truth in everything, there's truth in lies
All this knowledge but I think I'm gonna be wise
They say I'm mental but I'm just confused
They say I'm mental but I've been abused
They say I'm mental 'cause I'm not amused by it all
Not at all (x 7)

Spunky don't like her uniform
It never fits her good
Going back to the orphanage
And the place where the garage once stood
Well it's a free for all free for all free for all
It's a free for all you and me
If you don't like what they're telling you
You can't teach a blind man to see
But I can see
Spunky looks good in her bright red wig
Eating chocolate chip mint ice cream
A cat named Lola with a violent past
Is balled up asleep cross her knees
Well it's a free for all free for all free for all
It's a free for all you and me
One day the world will be ready for you
And wonder how they didn't see
Spunky knows she can save the world
In her own little way
Turning in her old uniform
'Cause you know, it really didn't pay
'Cause it's a free for all free for all free for all
It's a free for all you and me
I walk through the world with your name on my tongue
And your picture, etched on my screen

Mama gripped onto the milkman's hand
And then she finally gave birth
Years go by and still I don't know
Who shall inherit this Earth,
And no one will know my name until it's on a stone
This could be your lucky day in hell
You never know who it might be at your doorbell
This could be your lucky day in hell in hell
Waking up with an ugly face
Winston Churchill in drag
Looking for a new maternal embrace
Another tired old gag
Am I just through walking by the chewed up dust and bones
This could be your lucky day in hell
You never know who it might be at your doorbell
This could be your lucky day in hell in hell
Father Theresa you can't make me into you
I never want to be like you
Why can't you see, it's me
You know it's time to let me go
This could be your lucky day in hell
You never know who it might be at your doorbell
This could be your lucky day in hell in hell in hell
This could be your lucky day in hell
You never know who it might be at your doorbell in hell
This could be your lucky day in hell in hell in hell in hell
Every time you crave for me, I'm here
And anything you hunger for, I'll share
And I will be quietly standing by
While slowly I am dying inside
Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel like I am a child in love
Every time I talk to you, you're down
Every time you need a laugh, I'm around
When you forget I'm here, I'm not
It isn't really me that you forgot
Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel like I am a child in love
Whisper now, and tell me how
You'll watch me and tell me somehow, I'm gonna be all right

Every time you crave for me, I'm here
And anything you hunger for, I'll share
And I will be quietly standing by
While slowly I am dying inside
Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel like I am a child in love
Every time I talk to you, you're down
Every time you need a laugh, I'm around
When you forget I'm here, I'm not
It isn't really me that you forgot
Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel like I am a child in love
Whisper now, and tell me how
You'll watch me and tell me somehow, I'm gonna be all right
