Silver

A little bit more than i ever wanted
A little bit more than you could ever say
Did you really think that i'd forgotten?
Kicked out the windshield, water coming in
Fade away, fade away

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want? what you need?
Is this what you wanted me to be?
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through

I tried to give more than you thought i'd take now
Taking more than you could ever say
Push come to shove you kicked me in the head
You knock me down i ripped the handle off again
I wanted more than this, wanted more than this
Fade away, fade away

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want? what you need?
Is this what you wanted me to be?
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through

Hands gripped to the wheel held too tight to feel
Face pressed to the glass, please don't ask
One more breath, one more, it's alright
I could never give enough, have enough, be enough
You could never stand to stay there
Only only only, fade away, fade away

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want? what you need?
Is this what you wanted me to be?
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through
Push just a little too late
I wanted more than this
I expected more than this

I came screaming down the highway
Looking for a place to fly
Stopped outside the window
It's only in the blood
Into the kitchen
Found you lying on the floor
There i tied you up in wire
I can't feel you anymore

You gave yourself to me
I offered you to god
Wrapped the curtains round your body
It's only in the blood

This shrieking love
Comes crashing down
This shrieking love
Is not the one you thought you'd found
Oh it's only in the blood

It's a deadly clear addiction
A body's breath away
A long hot bath in acid fast
It's only in the blood
On down the highway
Looking for a place to fly
Stopped outside the window
It's only in the blood

This shrieking love
Comes crashing down
This shrieking love
Is not the one you thought you'd found
Oh it's only in the blood

Close your eyes
Your christ has come
The crippled boy that you once knew
The charmed enigma chosen one
With painted lips, skin ripped and torn
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
This envy that i've worn so well
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

So drink me in
Like tainted wine
Come bite down on my sharpened cup
And taste the dreams that numb the mind
A simple word
A harmless glare
That binds me with the thinnest thread
And pins me down to pleasure's bed
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my chest
We are silver

So shy and poised
With few regrets
A judas kill, a complex thrill
A memory i won't soon forget
Been washed out clean
Till all runs dry
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
A hurt that only you could sell
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my breast
We are silver

Trip
Sister i will follow you
This time
Knowing i will follow you
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to your breast
We are silver
Silver

Quarter slot, the picture's hot
You can be so damn ugly
Flickering is sickening the show
Sexual intellectual
Feel so raw makes me crazy
Pocket full of quarters left to go

I said i'm fine
Work the line
Punch the clock it never meant that much
Wake up, wake up it's here again
Whiskey shot
Drink it up
One more bottle just to wash the cut away
Into everything

My wife's alone, the kids at home
She can be so damn ugly
Her face is blurred without a word to say
I spray the dream with gasoline
Just one match, be so easy
Splatterings of you along the way

I said i'm fine
Kill the line
Punch the clock it never meant that much
Wake up, wake up it's here again
On a whim, stole the car
Heard the shot ring out it seemed so far away
Into everything

Quarter slot, the picture's hot
You can be so damn ugly
Flickering is sickening the show
Sexual intellectual
Feel so raw makes me crazy
Pocket full of quarters left to go

For barbara r.

She breathes through the book
Measures a picture there
Picks up a knife
Cuts it to wallet size
Now she has lived
Now she has breathed
And now she's tasted heaven but the trip doesn't sting
And all she wanted was a photograph

Rain on my tongue
Feels like i'm tasting god
Silver and gold
Drinking the riches up
Back to the night
And if i died
I'm gonna ask my questions on the other side
And all she wanted was a photograph

Mask of the city hangs in mock deliberation
I step outside the wire while the sun strips off my cocaine
Bent like a banshee while my cup is overflowing
Another brutal ending i know i'm an animal story telling

And she breathes through the book
Said that she never knew
Question is easy
But the answer is hard to take
The binding cracks
And the words will fade
But she keeps the picture in the frame that she made
And all she wanted was a photograph

I'm walking this railing's edge just to feel this good
And freaky be beautiful you came following me like i knew you would
You tickle my fancy, tickled my sense of fun
You claw like a rack on my back ever thickening
It's just begun

Freaky be beautiful, he falls
And his blood it sprays so cold
On my face, he feels so cold
My crallow bird waiting, shallow breathed shrapnel lung
I'm pressing the beak to my cheek and it's thickening
Kick off turns the sun

Freaky be beautiful, he falls
And his blood it sprays so cold
On my face, he feels so cold
Freaky be beautiful, oh no, oh no
Freaky be beautiful, he falls
And his blood it sprays so cold
On my face, he feels so cold

So i rot, down inside
For the loss, and i will not deny
I'm winding...
Dig it out...
Freaky be...
