Eight Arms to Hold You

Didn't notice I was gone
cause you were tying up your arm
oh...
and when I stand on my head
you never react
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
not one fucking smile
and when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I want a peace mapped out
cause I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love it
a sneaky ?god? has got my man, man
that kind of love don't understand
him
oh, oh
and when I swallow my gum
you never react
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
not one fucking smile
and when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I want a peace mapped out
cause I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love it
swallow hard, until you
I'll be the one to thrill you
I'll be the first to kill you
and if you won't die, I will
when I shortsheet the bed
you never react
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
not one fucking smile
and when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I want a piece knocked out of him
I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love it

Sleep little flea
Little boy
Me a freak
Am i clean?
I feel like men
I feel like boys
I think i'm peeling the ringing in my ears from playing too loud


I hear the ocean
I hear the crowd
I'm disconnected
I am unattached
An unmade bed makes me feel like a failure
Bedroom eyes lead to blurry vision
And the ringing in my ears from playing too loud


I hear the ocean
I hear the crowd
Too pale
Too sick
Too scrawny
But i'll sleep here anyway
And the sheets smell like bodies
Not mine
Not yours
It's two a.m. and it's quiet again
Where's my lip gloss?

Take me away
I know I could use a rest
I wanna clear up this mess
I need a few days with my good sense
I need a few good days
Benjamin, no, oh...
Benjamin, no, oh...
Benjamin, no...
where did you go?
no, no...
when you were falling from my tree
I was not scared
I thought you'd meet me back up there
it never dawned on me you were home free
it never dawned on me, no...
Benjamin, no, oh...
Benjamin, no, oh...
Benjamin, no...
where did you go?
no, no, no...
Benjamin, no, oh...
Benjamin, no, oh...
Benjamin, no...
where did you go?
no, no...
you said that I could tie you down, no...
you said that I could tie you down, no...
you said that I could tie you down, no...
you said that I could tie you down, no...
take me away
I know I could use the rest

It's freezing in Bristol
there's love on the tele
a girl grinning at me
she's doing the shimmy
and she's cruel
and she's skinny
and she's a fool
for the last living rock king
it's her thrill
it's her wonder
it's her will
it's her way home
she's right where she always wanted to be
she can't change
change...
change...
it's lightening in London
([whisper] it's lightening in London)
there's shit on the tele
(there's shit on TV)
you're pushing my buttons
(pushing my buttons)
you know how to touch me
and I knew
that you'd choose me
by the times
that you tried to refuse me
it's your thrill
it's your wonder
it's your will
it's your way home
you're right where you always wanted to be
you can't change
change...
change...
(woah)
it's morning in Philly
([whisper] it's morning in Philly)
my head's feeling heavy
(my head's feeling heavy)
the sun makes me dizzy
(the sun makes me sick)
you monkey, you left me
and I know
that you miss me
by the way
that you kiss and resist me
it's my thrill
it's my wonder
it's my will
it's my way home
I'm right where I always dreamed I would be
I can't change
change...
change...
(woah)

When you've had enough
when you've got it bad enough
and you can't let go
when it comes to blows
and you start to overflow
but you can't get home
it's a subtle kind of cruel
it taps my spine
here I'm drawing a line
I'm asking you please
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
I know the loneliness is worse
you've gotta try...
December's all alone
and he's calling me on the phone
but he sounds so cold...
he says he loves me so
but how would I ever know?
certain words grow old
it's a vicious kind of catch
it sides me blind
now I'm out of my mind
I wanna scream
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
the loneliness is worse
you've gotta try...
love liked me long ago
it had a way of making everyone the same
but how the angels
(how the angels)
must laugh inside
(singing with me now)
with me screaming with you
and needing you this way
(needing you this way)
oh, why don't you wanna be
happy with me?
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
I know the loneliness is worse
you've gotta try...
to stay mine
all the way
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
it's got a way of making everyone the same
it's got a way of making everyone the same
it's got a way of making everyone the same
it's got a way of making everyone the same

I wind you up
then I wait for the melancholy
I give you up
while you sit here in all your glory
I never thought you would
I never knew you could
but now you're gone
and I don't think I care
I sold your love
down the river for a bow and arrow
euphoria has just been here
and she's looking terrible
I never sung this low
it's better if you go
I know you're mine
I sit here and want you to try
to love me like a monster
one last time
control me like a father
one last time
stay with me till I'm stronger
one last
bound to kick me when I'm down
don't kick me when I'm down
I never thought you would
I never understood
and that's why I'm weak and I want you to try
to make me an example
one last time
to drag me through the cycle
one last time
to make me a disciple
one last
round, will get me to the ground
you'll get me on the ground
(oh yeah)
I'll see you around
yeah, I'll see you around
one last time
and I'll see you around
yeah, I'll see you around
(na na na na na na na......)

Wake up and talk to me
it's a long time since last night
I know we said things, the saddest things
and I'm not sure it was wise
when the morning's sad
you don't look back
and you sure don't look ahead
the morning sad
you know, the morning sad
the morning sad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
I'm writing desperate songs
while you're fast asleep inside
I could try to sing
(I could try to bide my time to wake up)
until it rings
but my voice comes out uptight
when the morning's sad
you don't relax
you'll be ??? your mind
the morning sad
you know the morning sad
the morning sad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
I tried a little
I tried a lot
I'm not a window
and you've seen through everything I've got
oh, I don't think that I'll be safe
until everyone's awake
everybody, everybody, everybody, yeah...
so wake up and talk to me
such a long time since last night
I know we said things, the maddest things
and I'm not sure who was right
when the morning's sad
you won't attack
cause you're much to weak to bite
the morning sad
you know the morning sad
the morning sad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
no...
never had it so bad
yeah, yeah, yeah...
never had it so bad

Found a place where we can talk
I found a way to reach a little ground
keep your castle in my sandbox
build it up so we can burn it down
anyway I love my man
love to keep him spinning round and round
keep him feeling love for my hand
any way to turn him inside out
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
meet me up and down again
every time is sweeter than the last
once you get a taste of impact
you're always hungry for the crash
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
and this is everything
I have loved
yeah, I have loved
break...
my...
heart...
down, I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
yeah...
(I don't wanna be found in the sunshine
I don't wanna be dim like a night light
I don't wanna be down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight...)

When you've had enough

Don't you want to be happy with me?


I'm afraid if you don't come around soon i'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse


You've got to try
December's all alone and he's calling me on the phone
But he sounds so cold
He says he loves me so
But how would i ever know?
Certain words grow old
It's a vicious kind of catch
It sides me blind now

To hear me pleading with you
Needing this you this way
Oh why don't you want to be happy with me?

And you'll learn loneliness is worse


You've got to try to stay mine all the way
