Morte

You pack your bags and you move to the city
There is something missing here at home
You fix your hair and you are looking real pretty
It's time to get it out on your own
You are always fighting with your mama and your papa
Your family life is one big pain
When you, you gonna move to the city
Into the city where it all began

You gotta move, you gotta move
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, time you gotta move

You stole your mama's car and your daddy's plastic credit card
You are sixteen and you can't get a job you're not going very far
You are always riding with the teachers and the police
This life is much too insane
When you, you are going to move to the city
Into the city where it all began

You gotta move, you gotta move
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, time you gotta move

Right to the city where the real men get it
Child isn't it a pity
Sometimes it gets too shitty
Come on and hit me

You are on the streets and it isn't so pretty
You need to get a new what you please
You do what you got to do for the money
At times you end up on your knees
I am always buying with the local and the junkies
This city life is one big pain
But you, you had to move to the city
Into the city where it all began

You gotta move, you gotta move
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, time you gotta move

Oh right to the city with the real nitty gritty
Aw, child isn't it a pity
Sometimes it gets too shitty
Come on and hit me

I can't stop thinking, thinking about sinking
Sinking down into my bed
I call my mother, she's just a cunt now
She said I'm sick in the head
She said, "You ain't special, so who you foolin'?
Don't try to give me a line"

I can't stop thinking 'bout seein' you one more time, oh no
But I already left you and you're better off left behind

It's a bad obsession, it's always messing
It's always messing my mind
It's a bad obsession, it's always messing
It's always messing my mind

Too bad, you're fucked up

I used to be wasted, always tried to take it
Take it down into my vein
I call the doctor, he's just another
He said I'm sick in the brain
He said, "You ain't special, so who you foolin'?
Don't try to give me a line"

But I can't stop thinking 'bout doin' it one more time, oh no
But I already left you and you're better off left behind, oh yeah

Aw, it's a bad obsession, it's always messing
It's always messing my mind
It's a bad obsession, it's always messing
It's always messing my mind

So bad, boy

It's a
It's a
Heads up

It's a bad obsession, it's always messing
It's always messing my mind
Now it's a bad obsession, it's always messing
It's always messing my mind

I can't stop thinking 'bout doin' it one more time, oh no
But I already left you and you're better off left behind, oh oh oh no

It's a bad obsession and it's always messing my mind
But I already left you and you're better off left behind
Maybe you'll do better next time, punk

I'll take a nicotine, caffeine, sugar fix
Jesus, don't you get tired of turnin' tricks?
But when your innocence dies, you'll find the blues
Seems all our heroes were born to lose
Just walkin' through time, you believe this heat?
Another empty house, another dead-end street
Gonna rest my bones, sit for a spell
This side of heaven is close to hell

Right next door to hell why don't you write a letter to me?
I said, "I'm right next door to hell" and so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell, I got nowhere else to be
Right next door to hell feels like the walls are closin' in on me

My mama never really said much to me
She was much too young and scared to be
Hell, Freud might say that's what I need
But all I really ever get is greed
And most my friends, they feel the same
Hell, we don't even have ourselves to blame
But times are hard, and thrills are cheaper
As your arms get shorter, your pockets get deeper

Right next door to hell, why don't you write a letter to me?
'Cause, I'm right next door to hell and so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell, I never thought this is where I'd be
But I'm right next door to hell, thinking time will stand still for me

Fuck you, bitch

Not bad kids, just stupid ones, yeah
Thought we'd own the world an' getting used was havin' fun
I said we're not sad kids, but lucid ones, yeah
Flowin' through life, not collecting anyone
So much out there, still, so much to see
Time's too much to handle, time's too much for me
It drove me up the wall and drove me out of my mind
Can you tell me what this means, come on?

It's a critical solution, and the east coast got the blues
It's a mass of confusion, like the lies they sell to you

You got a glass-jawed toothache of a mental disease
And they be running 'round back, see them line up on their knees
'Cause the kiss-ass sycophants, throwing penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go, watch them come in off the streets
While they're banging out front inside they're slamming to the crunch
Go on an throw me to the lions and the whole damn screaming bunch
'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs, they're everywhere you turn
Tell me how a generation's ever supposed to learn

This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem, you can't stop, it's rock n' roll

I read it on a wall, it went straight to my head
It said, "Dance to the tension of a world on edge"
We got racial violence, and who'll cast the first stone?
And sex is used anyway it can be
Sometimes, when I look out, it's hard to see the day
It's a feeling, you can have it, it's not mine to take away

Lost in the Garden of Eden
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden
And there's no one who's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden

This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem, you can't stop, it's rock n' roll
Suck on that

Looking through this point of view, there's no way I'm gonna fit in
No, you tell me what my eyes see, don't you tell me who to believe in
I ain't superstitious, but I know when something's wrong
I've been dragging my heels with a bitch called hope
Let the undercurrent drag me along

Lost in the Garden of Eden
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden
And there's no one who's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden, come on

Oh yeah

Most organized religions make a mockery of humanity
Our governments are dangerous and out of control
The Garden of Eden is just another graveyard
Said, if they had someone to buy it, said I'm sure they'd sell my soul

This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem, you can't stop, it's rock n' roll

Lost in the Garden of Eden
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden
(And we ain't talkin' about no poison apple
Or some missin' rib, ya hear?)
Said, there's no one who's gonna believe this
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden

This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem, you can't stop, it's rock n' roll


The perils of rock n' roll decadence

I know this chick, she lives down on Melrose
She ain't satisfied without some pain, ooh
Friday night is going up inside her again
Well, crack the whip, 'cause that bitch is just insane
(I'm serious)

She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her
She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
Ooh, I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh no, oh no, oh no

Once, there was this rock and roll band, rolling on the streets
Time went by and it became a joke
We just needed more and more fulfilling, uh-huh
Time went by and it all went up in smoke
(But check it out)

She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her
She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh no, oh no, oh no

Once you made that money, it costs more, now
It might cost a lot more than you'd think
I just found a million dollars that someone forgot
It's days like this that push me over the brink
(Cool and stressing)

She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her
She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
I can't tell you she's the right one

Oh, she's the right one, she's the right one
I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh, she's the right one
She's the right one, she's the right one
Oh no, whoa, whoa, whoa

Been hidin' out and layin' low
It's nothing new to me
Well, you can always find a place to go
If you can keep your sanity

They break down the doors and they rape my rights, but
They won't judge me!
They scream and yell and fight all night
You can't tell me!
I lose my head, I close my eyes
They won't judge me!
'Cause I got something I've been building up inside
For so fuckin' long!

They're out to get me
They won't catch me
I'm fucking innocent
They won't break me

Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'
Sometimes it's harder to leave
And every time you think you know just what you're doin'
That's when your troubles exceed

They push me into a corner just to get me to fight, but
They won't judge me!
They preach and yell and fight all night
You can't tell me!
I lose my head, I close my eyes
They won't judge me!
'Cause I got something I've been buildin' up inside
I'm already gone!

They're out to get me
They won't catch me
'Cause I'm innocent
They won't break me

No
No wow-oh
No-no
No-no-no! No-no-no!
No
No wow-oh
No-no
No-no-no!

Some people got a chip on their shoulder
And some would say it was me
But I didn't buy that a fifth of whiskey that you gave me
So I'd be quick to disagree

They're out to get me
They won't catch me
I'm fucking innocent
They won't break me

They're out to get me
They won't catch me
'Cause I'm innocent

So, you can suck me
Take that one to heart

I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit to burn and I'll rip your heart in two
And I'll leave you lyin' on the bed
I'll be out the door before you wake 'em, it's nothin' new to you
'Cause I think we've seen that movie, too

'Cause you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin' done, I said, you could be mine, aw

Now, holidays come and then they go, it's nothin' new today
Collect another memory
When I come home, late at night, don't ask me where I've been
Just count your stars I'm home again

'Cause you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin' done, I said, you could be mine

You could be mine, you could be mine
You could be mine, you could be mine
You could be mine, mine, mine, mine
You've gone sketching too many times
Ooh, why don't you give it a rest?
Why must you find another reason to cry?

Well, you're breakin' down my back and I've been rackin' out my brain
It don't matter how we make it, 'cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage, but your flaps are wearing thin
And I could sleep on it until mornin', but this nightmare never ends
Don't forget to call my lawyers with ridiculous demands
An' you can take the pity so far, but it's more than I can stand
'Cause this couch-trip's gettin' older, tell me how long has it been?
'Cause five years is forever, and you haven't grown up yet

Oh, you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin' done, I said, you could, you should be

You could be mine
Oh, you could be mine
You could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
You could be mine

Aw, you could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
You could be mine, yeah

I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I, I, I don't have anything
Since I don't have you

And I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I, I, I don't have anything
Since I don't have you (I don't have)

Happiness and I guess
I never will again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And she's been here since then

Yep, we're fucked!

I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I, I, I don't have anything
Since I don't have you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh yeah!

Ain't it fun when you're always on the run?
Ain't it fun when your friends despise what you've become?
Ain't it fun when you get so high, well, that you, you just can't cum?
Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young?
It's such fun

Good fun, such fun, such fun, ah
Yeah fun, such fun, such fun, ah
Yeah, fun, such fun, such
Ow

Ain't it fun when you're taking care of number one?
Ain't it fun when you feel like you just gotta get a gun?
Ain't it fun when you – just – can't seem to find your tongue?
'Cause you stuck it too deep into something that really stung
It's such fun

Well, somebody come up to me, and spit right in my face
I didn't even feel it, it was such a disgrace
I punched my fist right through the glass
I didn't even feel it, it happened so fast

Such fun, such fun, such fun
Such fun, such fun, such fun, fun
Such fun, such fun, such fun, yeah
Such fun, such fun, such

Ain't it fun when you tell her she's just a cunt?
Ain't it fun when she splits and leaves you on the bum?
Well, ain't it fun when you've broken up every band that you've ever begun?
Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young?
It's such fun

Such fun, such fun, such fun, fun, fun
Such fun, such fun, such fun, ah
Such fun, such fun, such fun, ah
Such fun, such fun, such fun
Such fun, ah

I got a feeling inside of me
It's kinda strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why, don't know why
These kinds of things got to be

I got a new rose, I got it good
Yes, I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

See the sun, see the sunny skies
Don't get too close it'll burn your eyes
Don't you run away that way
Come back another day

I got a new rose, I got it good
Yes, I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

I never thought this could happen to me
I'm a strange washing machine
I don't deserve somebody this sane
I better get her, maybe-be too late
Hey!

Awww, I got a feeling inside of me
It's kinda strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why, don't know why
I guess, these things, got to be

I got a new rose, I got it good
Yes, I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

This one's for you, Johnny

It doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesn't mean I didn't try
I just never know why
It's isn't 'cause I'm all alone
Oh, baby, you're not home
And when I'm home
Big deal, I'm still alone

It's so restless, as I am
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense
Down inside my bones
And even though it don't show
Those scars aren't so old

Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try
Don't try

You're just a bastard kid
And you got no name
Could you live with me?
Go on and say
And even though it don't show
Those scars aren't so old

Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try
Don't try

Johnny, you're me, yeah, your memory
I want to put my arms around your memory

I can't try
I can't try
Don't try

Come on
LAMF
Like a mother fucker

Yo, Johnny, what color were her eyes?
Oh, she was wearing shades?
Fuck yeah

Seems like forever and a day

If my intentions are misunderstood
Please be kind, I've done all I should
I won't ask of you what I would not do

Oh, I saw the damage in you
My fortunate one, the envy of youth

Why would they tell me to please those that laugh in my face?
When all of the reasons they've taught us fall over themselves to give way, oh yeah

It's not a question of whether my heart is true
Streamlined, I had to pull through
Look for a new beginning on you

Oh, I, I got a message for you, ooh
Up and away, it's what I got to do, ooh
Forgive what you have for what you might lose

What would you say if I told you that I'm to blame?
And what would you do if I had to deny your name?
Where would you go if I told you I love you and then walked away? Oh, yeah
And who should I turn to if not for the ones that you could not save? Oh, now

I told you when I found you
If there were doubts, you should be careful and unafraid
Now they surround you
And all that amounts to is love that you fed by perversion and pain

So, if my affections are misunderstood
And you decide I'm up to no good
Don't ask me to enjoy them just for you

Ask yourself why I would choose to prostitute myself
To live with fortune and shame? Oh yeah
When you should have turned to the hearts
Of the ones that you would not save

I told you when I found you
All that amounts to is love that you fed by perversion and pain
