ALL THE SAME 

I'm not going to give it up for free anymore
And I don't really care if you label me a whore.
Frayed at the edges, busted at the seams,
I can walk with a song and sleep with my dreams.

You can cover up your chains and call yourself free;
It doesn't really matter - it's all the same to me.
You're the new newest thing; we've seen it all before.
In fact I've seen it many times and I'll see it many
more.

You know it won't last; you know it never does -
But better be a has been than to be a never was.
You can get out quick and clean or prolong the agony:
Whichever you prefer - it's all the same to me.

You worship the future like it's some kind of saint,
But it's just like the past with a new coat of paint.
You try to save a world that doesn't want to be saved
And you scold it like a child when you think it's
misbehaved.

You can say what you want, or say what you see,
Or you could say nothing - it's all the same to me.

CHOCOLATE RABBIT 

Back the fuck away from it,
and leave it where it lies.
How many stabbings can it take before it dies?
I got the message like a bullet to the head.
No wishful thinking now could help bring back the dead.

I never noticed as you turned into a ghost.
You couldn't help me when I needed you the most.
You made your choice and you would not change your
course.
I got a lesson how to flog a dying horse.

On Easter I got a chocolate rabbit
The biggest one I ever saw.
You never know until you've bitten off their head
that they're hollow and the chocolate is bad

GHOST DREAMING 

It won't stop bleeding
Once you've opened up it's skin.
It's not healing - let the games begin.
But a ghost can feel no pain
and a ghost will have no harm.
The blood rolls down the drain;
No substance and no form...

It kept on dreaming
clothed itself in solid form;
A human being; arms and legs & everything.
Sometimes water turns to steam,
Sometimes water turns to ice.
It flows back to the stream.
The stream runs back through paradise...

Is this not flesh and bone?
Or am I just that dreaming ghost I always talk about?
It isn't anything

GHOST VS. VAMPIRE 

It would be so nice if I could only see.
I've got eyes, ears and noses, skin and tastebuds
But they're all useless to me
I can't see nothing.

A ghost is no rival to a vampire.
A ghost is no rival to a vampire.
It's not mine to choose if I win or I lose
But he who laughs last laughs the loudest

I GIVE UP 

They say hold on to your dreams
That plays good on TV
But never worked for me
So now I need to find a way to occupy my time
Until the day I die
Cause I give up
I give up
It's gone so wrong, so long
It's gone so wrong
So wrong
So long
I give up

IN THE FIRST PLACE 

I used to think love was real,
But it's just the way you feel at the moment
When it's gone it's like you never existed
In the first place.
I used to think you were mine,
Mistaken all the time we were together.
Now you're gone it's like we never existed
In the first place.
Too much of this,
Not enough of that
New gets old fast and you search for
Something new again.
I used to think I was real,
But now it's no big deal, it doesn't matter.
When I'm gone it's like I never existed
In the first place

IT'S RAINING 

It's raining, It's raining.

There is nothing you can do
it doesnt only rain on you
but youre acting all upset like youre the only one who is
wet.

It's raining, It's raining.

There is nothing we can do
its raining on me too
you moan and you cry
but it wont effect the sky.

Youre not a saint
youre not a savior
or a devil
its agreed
oh lucky you oh lucky me
we have more of those than we need.

And when you give me gifts and money
Im a swine before the pearl
it only serves to remind me that we are all alone in this
world.

It's raining, It's raining,

And I cant tell you when the storm is gonna end
so go ahead and cry but that wont keep you dry.

OUR HAPPINESS IS GUARANTEED 

Orbiting pods, underwater domes
We fill our tanks with oxygen to step outside our homes.
Once it was hard, now it's just routine
And I can't tell the difference between people and
machine.

Love wasda problem for our ancestors;
It's not such a problem anymore.
Breeding as a science proved it has no use at all
And it mostly disappeared when we eliminated war.

There's comfort and control, it's safe for you and me.
News for the surface shows how hard life there can be.
why live in danger? why live with pain?
People from the surface find it hard to explain.

And every little thing is strictly monitored;
We're given everything we need.
Fed by I.V., we rarely need to sleep
There's no pointless dreaming and our happiness is
guaranteed.

PLEASE DO 

You never cried, you never froze
And yet how well your garden grows
You reap the fruits another sows:
I guess that works out well for you.
Suffering has served you well -
It's common but it somehow sells
So sing your little songs of hell and sell.
Hollow hopes and empty dreams
And blind pursuit of worthless schemes
That's all there is to life, it seems,
unless you prove me wrong - please do!

SEA SHANTY 

Repair the hull, replace the sails.
The monkey wrestles with the ghost
And a thousand pleasures form a thin veneer
Over lack of hope.
The captain was rightly murdered by the crew
But now they don't know what to do -
Drifting on the murky Sargasso of the everyday.
Work and slave and skimp and save
And you can buy yourself a bigger cave
And a thousand little cruelties we agree to pretend to
ignore.
The ghost has got the monkey by the tail
And all they both can do is wail.
And you and I go drifting by the abandoned vessels of he
everyday.
