4. To Have And Have Not

she shivered, afraid that I would shoot
she`d panic, afraid that I would not
she drank it all right before my eyes
said, be my lucifer, be my lord of flies

I can take all your blasphemy
I can take all your sins
I can end any moment
and let new one begin

she said, do it and do it now
yeah, let all black birds fly again
for all fires that burned before
as hell`s fire, shall burn bright once more

5. For Her Pleasure

erase the pictures from my mind
eliminate the presence of your kind
unloose the strings of instinct laws
just to fall into some other jaws

in pounding afternoon I rise
for the pleasure of dying twice
a wingcut anges in decline
breathe my air and I`ll be fine

put your teeth in me
carve your name in me
I don`t care if there is something
that I`m blind to see

invite yourself and feel free
to pick up splinter of debris
it`s in your sys.ex
subdues all that`s delusive

initially this lie I`d recoil
but again I crawl this dirty soil
of all possessions I did treasure
this one`s strictly for her pleasure

7. Sympathy For The Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
`cause what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
`cause what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
`cause what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you
guess my name, guess my name
Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you
guess my name, guess my name

8. Best Friend Money Can Buy

We drank as much as we could,
And she drank more than she should.
We stumbled out of this cheap whiskey bar,
And that is the story so far.

Guided by the dim streetlights,
We walked through the black harbour night.
No people, no passing car,
Well, that is the story so far.

She thinks she smells the northland snow,
(Northland snow)
And she`s as glad as I to go,
(Ay, to go)
Her very bolts are sick for shore,
(Sick for shore)
And I-- I want it ten times more.
(Ten times more)

She silenced her mouth when I asked for her name,
She asked me to please do the same.
She said it's all written in the stars,
And that is the story so far.

But she whispered her name when I kissed her goodbye,
Her voice stained by whiskey and tar.
She went back to where she belonged, and I--
I went back to the bar...

9. As Long As You're Mine

You dance like liquid fire
Like crystal methedrine
You make the stars come closer
The most beautiful girl I've seen

You're everything I want
Only you can set me free
You're an angel in the snow
You're a shot in the arm for me

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine
I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

As long as you are mine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

As long as you are mine

You move and whisper softly
You make me safe and sound
You're a tranquilizer
You make the world go round

You are here beside me
You make me feel fine
I'll go through any day
As long as you are mine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

As long as you are mine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine
As long as you are mine

As long as you are mine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine
As long as you are mine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine
As long as you are mine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine
As long as you are mine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine
As long as you are mine.

10. Lucy

lucy was my first choise - lucy was the one
she was my silent voice - when all was said and done
yeah, lucy was a demon - she did it all my way
she`d give me all her fun - as long as I would pay!!

lucy gave me veil - like shaken crystal clear
when lights were turning pale - then I would still be there
lucy shone is neon - lucy swore she`s mine
and in anothes aeon - I would be the first in line

1. The Return Of The Son Of Nothing

The warrior went back to Rome
The nomads settled for solid homes
The crusader returned to heathen
The snake searched for garden of Eden

The manikin went back in her cocoon
And NASA flew back to the moon
The great white returned to the coral reef
As the geisha stepped up on a water lily leaf

Everything was like before
And the pharaohs killed the first born son
Good lord Jesus Christ went back to his whore
The whore went back to Babylon

The pope went back on the dole
And Santa flew back to the northpole
Judas went back to Nazareth
And the president back in his jet

The raven flew back to Hades
And the shemales went back to the eighties
The dandy went back to Perth
And the dead went straight back to birth

2. So Much For Suicide

Animated junkies trying hard to be insane
With only water in our veins
You seem to think the planets orbit around you
Then it might be only one thing to do (hooo)

Silly cartoon creatures on cotton boulevard
Playing dead just like a retard
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares go away
And death can wait ‘til another day

So much for suicide - lots of talk but you never tried
A few pills short of a straight line - waking up still feeling fine

A loudpipe duck and a pink rubber Minni Mouse
A delirium trademark in a Cardhouse
Wish I had your talent for feeling sorry for myself
Wish you dared to jump off that shelf

3. Vote For Love

We've been soaked in acid
Always praised the downfall
The sound of cadent wings
It's a wounder we're standing tall
But in the truth of the morning glory
And the fear in our wishing well
We're on to another story

It's about time we all get out and vote for love

We are white zombies
Chained to our own demise
Decades of sleepwalking
No light's shining in our eyes
We've painted all doors Bible black
Vi har aldrig gett oss utan strid
If there's light we'll claim it back

Time to claim it back
