ALBUM BANG
Voodooized
Help me, I'm in trouble.
My body feels just like a double.
I don't know what's happened to me.
Fire, oh fire.
I'm pretty sure I've burned my desire.
I think someone voodooized me.
If you call, I'll come to you.
If you call, I'll come to you.
Where? Honey, where?
You better show up soon to be fair, if you put one more needle in me...
Pull out my soul and put it in your mouth to be full.
Puncture after puncture 'till it's blown.
If you call, I'll come to you.
If you call, I'll come to you.
I'm no burden, I'm yours to use.
If you call, I'll come to you.
Oh, we can dance, we can dance 'till the morning shines it all away.
We can dance, we can dance down to nothing.
You can play your voodoo in the evening.
Lipstick on a shadow you keep leaving.
Novocaine like laughter 'till we are seething.
we can start out loving like it's breathing.
Come get me if your heart is a bad thing.
Come get me if your heart is a bad, bad thing.
If you call, I'll come to you.If you call, I'll come to you.

Damn Things Over
Give up the whole damn thing's over
i ain't turning shoulders yet
as the evening hits your eyes
spill the sunshine
oh, you're fading out
we're everybody's moon
hanging on the edge of nothing
if there's a hell for lovers
and that's where you're gonna be
i can be hell's lover boy
you can stand right on my feet
at top of our love
stand at the top of our (love)
i don't believe in being lonely
old electric lady lands
playing in the stars around me
drunk in the arms of your gorgeous memory
lured in by the lovely way
you keep showing up in mystery
if there's a hell for lovers
and that's where you're gonna be
i can be hell's lover boy
you can stand right on my feet
at top of our love
stand at the top of our lovestand at the top of our love
i keep rolling down through the world to find you
asking all the fakes and the awfully confused
why they're smiling big when i go about you
they know i'm crazy enough, i'm desperate enough for you
for you
and i go and you go where it's easy to blur, it's easy to blur out

Bang
I'm sick of banging with your skeleton
You were gorgeous til you gave out all your skin
Now I can never really take it to the heart again
I still got yours blowing up inside my head
At least I'm waking up
At least I'm waking up
With you hiding in my bones
At least I'm waking up
I'm waking
Up
You're dying a legend, darlin'
And I'm dying to touch you, baby
Oh, oh whoa oh, whoa
Oh, you're dying a legend, darlin'
And I'm dying to touch you, baby
Oh, oh whoa oh, whoa
Oh wait, oh wait, before I let you go
There's a thread or two
still left between our souls
But you went messing with the gods
and never fell away
You're still burning off the angel on your face
At least I'm waking up
At least I'm waking up
With you hiding in my bones
At least I'm waking upI'm waking
Up
You're dying a legend, darlin'
And I'm dying to touch you, baby
Oh, oh whoa oh, whoa
Oh, you're dying a legend, darlin'
And I'm dying to touch you, baby

Hello Lover
Hello. I love you. I'm leaving.
What else is there left to do?
With your safety eyes, and your hearts cease fire, there's no hostage.
I'll never come back to you.
But hello lover, don't forget me.
Hello baby, don't you miss me? Hello lover.
Hello. I still hear you listening.
All our noises are still stuck in your head.You took too much of my loneliness to need you. I've got no pity for you.
But hello lover, please forgive me.
Hello baby, don't you miss me?
Hello lover, oh don't forget me.
Hello baby, come and get me.
Hello, hello lover.
Hello lover.
Hello lover.
Hello lover.
Hello lover.
Hello lover.
Hello baby, come and get me.
Hello baby, don't you miss me?

Intruder
All the pretty and charmed collide.
On dead summers wildest nights.
And I'm guilty.
Worse than red hot dreams when you lay dreaming next to me.
Oh we lay out and we taunt the moon.
Make it really rude.
Are you the devil? Did he touch you?
We'll never be the same.
You're lovely when you speak to me way down in misery.
I don't wanna find you. I don't wanna find you.
I don't wanna find you, find you in my home.
No I don't wanna find you in my home.
Stay with me and have me in your hot jealousy.
Nothing will offend the way we are like the way we'll be.
But revenge is so sweet.
And we'll lay out.
And we'll taunt the moon.
We'll make it real rude.
I'll be the devil if that suits you.
Oh we'll be on our way.
But we will never take the fall.
But we already caved in...
I don't wanna find you. I don't wanna find you.
I don't wanna find you, find you in my home.
No I don't wanna find you in my home.
Oh I don't wanna take you home again.Oh I don't wanna take you home again.
Oh I don't wanna take you home again... but I'll take you on.
I'll take you on.
I'll take you on.
I'll take you on.
I don't wanna find you. I don't wanna find you.
I don't wanna find you, find you in my home.
No I don't wanna find you in my home.

I don't wanna find you, find you in my home.

I don't wanna find you. I don't wanna find you.
I don't wanna find you, find you in my home.
No I don't wanna find you in my home.

I Know You Know
Honey, I can feel that we're near it.
Can you feel the world slowly moving?
I know you know that I'll love you all around the room.
I'll dream all night to touch you the way I do.
I know you know where I am when we lose eyes.
You can feel me more than I can, just leave your mind.
Now honey you can trick me to feel right.
I can't believe I know what you taste like.
I know you know that I'll love you all around the room.I'll dream all night to touch you the way I do.
I know you know where I am when we lose eyes.
You can feel me more than I can, just leave your mind.
I know you know that I'll love you all around the room.
I'll dream all night to touch you the way I do.
We were made up, we were made up right.
I don't know. We were made up,
We were made up right.
Don't you know?
We were made up, we were made up right.
I don't know. We were made up,
We were made up right.
Don't you know?
We were made up, We were made up right.
I don't know.
Do you feel it? Do you see it? I don't know.We were made up, we were made up right.
We were made up, we were made up right.
I know you know that I'll love you all around the room.
I'll dream all night to touch you the way I do.

Animal
I can be animal. And both our minds can be beautiful,
Show me when you're afraid, and I'll come close to communicate.
Mark me, love.
You've been sweet, but can you show me rough?
I think we're lovely when we screw up.
Give me a part of you for a part of me.
Give me a part of you for a part of me.
I know that you feel me.Whenever somebody looks at you.
There's nothing I can say, but there is something that I will do.
So, mark me, love.
It's so sweet.
I wanna see you rough.
So let's get lovely.
Can you screw up?
Give me a part of you for a part of me.
Give me a part of you for a part of me.
Give me a part of you for a part of me.
Oh, give me a part of you for a part of me.

ALBUM HOWL
Spit The Dark
If hope is a dangerous hole,
will you join me?
Jump there's a world of war.
will you join me?
Eyes closed for lives to open up
Free fall with me to open up
I will guide you in the night
Love is best an illusion
Since time is so short, jump with confusion
Eyes closed for lives to open up
Free fall with me to open up
I will guide in the night
Who do you want to forget?
I will guide in the night

I Want Blood
I want blood, I want blood from you
If it ain't your love, I want blood from you
Desperate and a little delusional
You out my heart to grindstone
I'm waiting anxiously outside your home
Oh dear, the biggest of all fears
You wish to hell I was not here
You wish to hell and I appear
I want blood, I want blood from you
If it ain't your love, I want blood from you
Quiet now. You're sucking the charm out.
I tried the "get you to love" route, but
now the monster in rage holds me down.
Anger's a lesser disaster, the truth is I got a fever
Your scream insanity, I'll be right there.
I want blood, I want blood from you
If it ain't your love, I want blood from you
But we've got trouble now
I look for answers but there's nothing I will see
No matter how far, everywhere you seem.
A mirror arrangement, in my eyes and you repeat
And it tempts me to believe
And I want blood, I want blood from you
If it ain't your love, I want blood from you

Modern Love
I had a secret I've been dying to leak.
It's a killer to keep
My crime occurred when rationality slept.
I had enough to be dead.
Then I heard a rumor I felt was right.
Before the public had spied you're spinning multiple lives.
Lets get down to the love tonight.
You wear your lovers eyes, and I'll be wearing mine.
Maybe you could fool your momma, but you won't be fooling me.
I've always seen you coming, thinking you were indiscreet.
And while you've been misbehaving,
I'll be fooling you...
I had a secret I've been dying to leak;
now it's a pleasure to keep.
My crime occurred when rationality slept...
now it continues to rest.
Baby, you're the fool tonight

Valmont
In the time I had you dressed in silhouette,
We had both been dark and heart obsessed.
You followed as I fell, and you dug inside my chest.
You told me just to breathe, but you stole my breath.
Once again our plot is thick,
To ex-lovers dropping quick.
Look so frantically for the fix,
No syringe could ever give.
Well i just let it right in
So damn tragic, so fantastic.
To the great heights of vanity.
We can climb high, and reign
deceit on the poor fools, our pleasure deep.
On what fine fools, we smile and bleed.
Smile and bleed.
I can feel you in my veins.
A danger I will take.
You run around my secret inner maze.
I will never let you out, and you won't wanna leave.
Destructive is the way we want to be.
Keep it holdin' to me.
So damn tragic, so fantastic.
To the great heights of vanity.
We can climb high, and reign
deceit on the poor fools, our pleasure deep.
On what fine fools, we smile and bleed.
Smile and bleed.
To the great heights, to the great heights.To the great heights, to the great heights.
To the great heights of vanity.
We can climb high, and reign
deceit on the poor fools, our pleasure deep.
On what fine fools, we smile and bleed.
Smile and bleed.
Smile and bleed.

Believe
She's gonna fall from me
And the wind will catch her.
Just take a look and see,
While the grounds below her
I've seen many change today.
Don't you wanna believe the leaves?
Nobody knows my tears,
They hide in the weather
Oh but its so unfairStand haplessly here.
Watch them fall away

Warning Mark
You've gotten hideous.
I want to push you hard to an orange iron,
giving you a warning mark.
So you can be in and out with everyone you meet.
No one will keep you around.
You will hear me laughing in the back of your head.
You'll never get so deep.
You'll never hold it down.
They'll always see my warning.
They'll call you beautiful.And in the morning, you'll be stranded in love.
You'll never live it down.
It goes around and around.
There's no one out for you.
No one to make confused.
Will you come after me?
Won't you come after me?
All we have is nothing baby,
Nothing gives us everything.

Once you're here,
Time begins to creep on us.
Every night, every worry comes in.
Don't let it fool you.
Don't let it fool you.
Once you're here,
Time will begin to creep on us.
Every night, every worry comes in.
Don't let it fool you.Don't let it fool you.
Don't let it fool you.
Don't let it fool you.
Don't let it fool you.
Don't let it fool you.
Don't let it fool you.

Under the Bright Lights
Everyone's dressed in the scenery.
I can't stop looking. We blend in.
Everyone's right where they've got to be.
Under the bright lights, I want you.
Oh, don't you mind the war tonight.
We'll watch the sky exploding high.
Questions are shot to the heart of hell.
Elephants falling and burning.
Hold me and watch the apocalypse.
Baby, we did this... don't miss it.
Where have you been?

Midnight Land
I could not fathom your release.
Oh it was crazy, sinking from the three.
Oh he's been watching, watching idly
Why you were shaking in despair.
He knows you come to find his caring stare.
Oh you went fast to the midnight land.
Among the dark host, he took your hand.
And did you find out what it's really like?
Victim of trickery, warm misfortune...
Stay down.I bet it burns now.
and I bet it burns,
and I bet it burns,
and I bet it burns now.
Now it's numb in my head, when I think about your trek.
Can I feel your fiery breath?
I've been cold so I go throw my flesh to your coals.
When did you go? oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm all alone. no, no, no, no, no.
I see my bones. oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Welcome me to your home.
Stay down.
I bet it burns, now.
And I bet it burns,
And I bet it burns,
And I bet it burns, now.
I bet it burns, I bet it burns, I bet it burns, now.I bet it burns, I bet it burns, I bet it burns, now.
I bet it burns, I bet it burns, I bet it burns, now.
I bet it burns, I bet it burns, I bet it burns, now.
Tearin' through the evening, I call your name.
I call and wait, the damned are answering.
Staring through the demons,
I know your eyes, but not that smile.
You tricked me into you.

All Night Long
We aren't quite ready yet
to stop thinking cause the future's dead.
The city keeps calling us to pay her sins.
Wounded lovers on the streets repent.
They just Howl all night long.
All night long.
Dead kids walking by business men;
they pick the pockets that had buried them.
Poverty's calling from a mother's home;
I hear them begging, wishing... all alone.
They just Howl all night long.

My Poor Lover
My poor lover arrives at my door
I hope she comes in blind or sexually sore
Cause I am guilty, my clothes on the floor
And not hers among them, cause I needed more
I shook the evil down, from the cave in my mind
And I let lose and demon I kept hidden for a time
Born with another voice that I stifle so deep
And it scares me to hear it, I lose sight of everything
I still affiliate with the whims of my youth
When I held many other girls with a heart so aloofI grew to never lose with I feared to become
and it's part of reflection I had missed when we begun.

Keep The Mood
Oh, oh,
We don't have to make this last.
Oh, oh,
Most of what is good time's best.
They'll find us, living in a mirror of moon.
Naked,
laughing as our minds come loose.
It's gonna happen.
We'll make it.
We've got to feel it through the night.
Hold your breath now,We'll get down.
Keep the mood right through the night.
The future, it never meant enough to me.
I went there.
I traded in my memories.
It's gonna happen.
We'll make it.
We've got to feel it through the night.
Hold your breath now,
We'll get down.
Keep the mood right through the night.
It's gonna happen.
We'll make it.
We've got to feel it through the night.
Hold your breath now,
We'll get down.
Keep the mood right through the night.
All I want is you tonight.
All I want is,
All I want is you tonight.
All I want is,
All I want is you tonight.
All I want is,
All I want is you tonight.
All I want is,
All I want is you tonight.

Anywhere
I touch your silver shirt without you in it.
It looks like you've been hurt.
I'm told to "stay here." police all gather around.
They want to know where I've been...
You could be anywhere.
By design, I forgot you everywhere.
And won't you come back here? You could be anywhere.
I search for months around.
I finally see you dancing off the ground.
I run to meet you. I've been in this room,locked inside with you.
I try not to do this.
Your hair's so long like it was years ago.
My fingers need it... to touch you like I should have known.
I don't think I should stay here. You must, but I should go.
There's nothing left to do here. I must leave time alone.

Hayley
Hayley, it doesn't even matter now.
We could have truly had it all
They took him to the hills,
where they made him a star
Everyone loved who they knew from a far
They farmed a deceiver, who wed a believer
With her fed, she conceived his little girl
who oppressed called in danger;
Torched his eyes with her anger
All the flashes captured daddy's dismayand she took her life before she could run away
I went there, to the site they had said she would be
Too cold a world for a girl, seventeen
I couldn't complete it, they wouldn't foresee it
Love is now where her life couldn't be
Oh believe it can happen
Death is time's true companion
And the future takes a second to be
Close your eyes and feel what is happening
Hayley, the dark world took you under,
What ever made you wonder?

Hold On
They're going to take your eyes away
They might try to poison my heart
We've got to make them find us in the dark
I started to love your way
In secret while the watchmen play
You've given me the greatest fate I've known
Hold on
I won't let them take you
And in the twighlight of escape
Both of my arms gunnin' your waist
When what assulted counsel were awake
I started to love your way
In secret while the watchmen played
You've given me the greatest fate I've known
Hold on
I won't let them take you

Stunned in your room
Violet faced, but I can't help but to be here
Dark, over you, appear shadow trailing with the dim stare
I'm of the worst intention
Here by default in hangin'
What could have ever happened
Moment of love is lost in your thinkin'
Tangled and tired of the ones that desire you
The moment I wanted, took what I gave you
And you had it fastIn the morning pay
I'm of the worst intention
Here by default in hangin'
What could have ever happened
Moment of us is lost in your thinkin'
I've got to wish you on your way
Wish you on your way
Hope on your time
I've got to wish you on your way
Wish you on your way
I've got to wish you on your way
Hope on your time

Gift of Asylum
where'd you put your reason
left me without leaving
it feels surreal
you can hate the singing
you can call it bleeding
I bleed for you
it's good to be feeling
blood while i'm breathing
it- ooo
so many words won't do
buried in sand we knew
we'd shatter the world forever
then it came back together
what have we done to ourselves
love has turned to fear
what have we done to ourselves
love has turned to fear
what have we done to ourselves
love has turned to fear
what have we done to ourselves
love has turned to fear

Darko
I run full speed with my hands still tied
And her purple knees; flash of bullets fly
I'll be yours if you catch me tonight
Man, oh man, will you watch my back
As I see the world through the evening cracks?
No more bathroom stalls
No more midnight crawls
From the New York vine
And from the New York vine
I know I'll reach the sunWhile youre burnin' up your heart
(From the New York vine)
And Ill beckon everyone
Fallin' from the very start
(From the New York vine)
We wait, we wait up all night
Staring at a spear in hell
(From the New York vine)
You better think of me, you better think of me,
you better think of me
Cause darlin', I do
I barely had you a thousand nights
I kept spinning out in your steady eye
Oh, in my hands, in my hands was the time of your life
Oh, mystery man, will you watch my back
While I breathe her deep through the evening cracks
No more bathroom stalls
No more midnight brawls from the New York vine
And from the New York vine
I know I'll reach the sun
While you're burnin' up your heart
(And from the New York vine)
And I'll beckon everyone
Fallin' from the very start
(From the New York vine)
We wait, we wait up all night
Staring at a spear in hell
(From the New York vine)

No more midnight falls from the New York vine
Ooooh

While youre burnin' up your heart(And from the New York vine)
