Cheapness & Beauty

Stone by the river, got no wind in my sail
No revolutions in my soul
Hey, revelation's just a moment away
Soon i'm gonna be old, soon you're gonna be old
Remember love is not something you can keep
It just takes the wind to blow it away
You look so ugly as you lie there asleep
Boy you're pretty today, so pretty today

When i was born they poisoned my mind
They told me to fight but i'm not that kind
They said i was meek but i did not mind
It's a case of the weak leaving the blind

I see the stars have spelt your name in the sky
I wrote it too down here in the sand
When i first met you, you stirred nothing at all
See the cards in your hand, see the cards in your hand

And oh if i could fly
I said oh if i could fly
Don't you know that if i could fly
I'd take to the sky

I feel so special when i'm making you cry
But i regret the things i throw in your face, i do
This drug will kill you darling this is no lie
This dragon we chase, this dragon we chase

When i was born they poisoned my mind
They told me to fight but i'm not that kind
They said i was meek but i did not mind
It's a case of the weak fooling the blind

And oh if i could fly
I said oh if i could fly
Don't you know that if i could fly
I'd take to the sky

And oh if i could fly
I said oh if i could fly
Don't you know that if i could fly
I'd take to the sky, yes i would

Mother clutches the head of her dying son
Anger and tears, so many things to feel
Sensitive boy, good with his hands
Noone mentions the unmentionable, but everybody understands
Here in this cold white room
Tied up to these machines
It's hard to imagine him as he used to be

Laughing screaming tumbling queen
Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen
Whirling swirling never blue
How could you go and die, what a lonely thing to do

Silence equals death, this is what they say
But the anger and the tears do not take the pain away
How far must it go, how near must it be
Before it touches you, before it touches me
Here in this cold white room
Tied up to these machines
It's hard to imagine life as it used to be

Laughing screaming tumbling queen
Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen
Whirling swirling never blue
How could you go and die, what a lonely thing to do

Did you ever ask those strangers what they're looking for?
Did they laugh and tell you they're not really sure?
You were hurt by love but still you came right back for more
Il adore, il adore, il adore

Thanks mum

White lines on a dirty mirror
My reflection haunting me
Dead eyes and desperation
And my hyprocrisy

You think you're so immune
Go dry your mother's tears
I disconnect from you
Your lying and your flying

I know you love me but keep away
I'm feeling more like myself today
I don't need this drug
I don't need this fix
You better believe i can handle it

Blindman blindman

Dark room strange company
You're making the devil twitch
You look like a corpse tonight
So you think death is hip

I disconnect from you
Your lying and your dying

You're my kind of circle
You're my kind of freak
You're my kind of loser
Let's be incomplete

Beautiful child in razor heels
Sashays into the room
All the boys, they catch their breath
And the mirrors swoon
Now she's running down the hall
Head scarf and a hollywood smile
She's got a dagger in your back
And a killing style

Love and hate, it's all the same your way
Just another twisted game to play

Evil, child star, movie queen
Evil, sweet charm, mabeline
Evil, no one gets the better of me

Your father's rage and a cocktail dress
With a bullet proof heart
Why is your life in such a mess
If you're so damn smart
Judy garland, jimmy dean
You tragedy queen
Give me fat girls, give me rough boys
Give me what i dream

Love and hate, it's all the same your way
Just another twisted game to play

Evil, child star, movie queen
Evil, sweet charm, mabeline
Evil,such a pretty boy that i've never seen

Love and hate, it's all the same your way
Just another twisted game to play

Evil, child star, movie queen
Evil, the sweet charm, mabeline
Evil,noone gets the better of me

Evil
Evil
Evil
Noone gets the better
Noone gets the better
Noone gets the better

Mother hold your breath
'cause i will never be
Any of the things
That you have planned for me

Mother hold your tears
'cause i am happy now
My free and independent spirit
Curses me somehow, but i say

You're not the only one
Who lives and breathes this pain
Don't be the holy one
'cause if he comes again
You're not the only one
And god don't hold a grudge

Father hold your fist
'cause i will never be
An image of yourself
No perfect family
Father it's too late
To make a man of me
I love against the gods
But i don't scare too easily and i say

You're not the only one
Who lives and breathes this pain
Don't be the holy one
'cause if he comes again
You're not the only one

State your number and your cause
Your black skin or your menopause
Your cancer your identity
You're not so different to me

You're not the only one
State your number and your cause
Don't be the holy one
Your black skin or your menopause
You're not the only one
Your cancer your identity
Don't be the holy one
You're not so different to me

evil is so civilised


Far out across the rooftops
Where the televisions sleep
Behind the perfect picture
Lie fanfitical beliefs
White sheets and burning crosses
Strange fruit, blood on the land
Free will twisted religion
Do you love your fellow man

Sometimes i cry
Sometimes i weep
Sometimes i cry
'cause evil is so civilised

Weak minds and shallow prophets
Send your money and spare your doom
Fear rides the silver bullet
From the pulpit to the womb
Death on the blood red clay
Under the texas moon
Queer killers, redneck saints
Oh god i pray for you

You make me run from god
You make me terrified
I pray the lord your soul to keep
I hope you wake before you die

How does it feel, what do you do
When he's all alone with you
Do you kiss him, hold his hand
Who's the woman who's the man

Is it twisted it is sick
Mother nature's little trick
I don't have to feel no shame
In god's image i am made

Your brother doesn't understand
How you could love another man
Your poor father thinks we're cursed
It's the same thing in reverse

It's the same thing in reverse
Nothing better nothing worse
It's the same thing in reverse
It's the same thing it's the same thing

Love is! la de dah

What can you say where do you go
Do you want the world to know
Make a prison of your fear
Be a kamikaze queer

Bite my lip hold my tongue
Hope i'm not the only one
I don't have to be afraid
In god's image i am made

Your brother doesn't understand
How you could love another man
And your poor father thinks we're cursed
It's the same thing in reverse

It's the same thing in reverse
Nothing better nothing worse
It's the same thing in reverse
It's the same thing it's the same thing

Do i love him, yes i love him
So don't question my affection
This is not some damn affliction
It's just love in contradiction

It's the same thing, it's the same thing

Black boys in cars (it's the same thing)
White boys with poisonous hearts (it's the same thing)
Even on the one eyed guru (it's the same thing)
And why the hell you looking at me (it's the same thing)

I never wanted to be part of the gang (it's the same thing)
I never saw this as part of my plan (it's the same thing)
I walk down the street with pride (it's the same thing)
Happy that you're by my side
