    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

    stand at the top of our love (i can be hell's lover boy)

    stand at the top of our love

    give up the whole damn thing's over

    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, 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

    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. 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. 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. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,

    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

    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)

    You better think of me, you better think of me,

    you better think of me

    'Cause darlin', I do

    (Just put your hands on me)

    Man, oh man, if you watch my back

    I will breathe you deep through the evening crack

    No more bathroom stalls

    No more midnight falls from the New York vine

    Ooooh

    (And from the New York vine)

    I know I'll reach the sun

    While youre 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)

    You better think of me, you better think of me,

    you better think of me

    Cause darlin, I do
