Nine Lives
Album - 18 marzo 1997 - Debaser id 11546

I'm down a one-way street, with a one-night stand
With a one track mind, out in no-man's land
The punishment sometimes don't seem to fit the crime

Yeah, there's a hole in my soul, but one thing I've learned
For every love letter written, there's another one burned
So you tell me how it's gonna be this time

Is it over?
Is it over?
'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
Is nothing there girl, yeah I swear
I'm telling you girl yeah

'Cause there's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah

I'm as dry as a seven-year drought
I got dust for tears and I'm all tapped out
Sometimes I feel broke and can't get fixed

I know there's been all kinds of shoes underneath your bed
Now I sleep with my boots on but you're still in my head
Something tells me this time I'm down to my last licks

'Cause if it's over
Then it's over
And it's driving me insane

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
Is nothing there girl, yeah I swear
I'm telling you girl, yeah

'Cause there's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, is it over?
'Cause it's over
And I'm blowin' out the flame

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there girl, yeah I swear
I'm telling you girl, yeah

'Cause there's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah

God I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta love the sweet taste of India
Blame it on the beat of the drum

God I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta know that's what's gotten into ya
Any cat man do when it's done...

Oh yeah she's got that kind of love incense
That lives in her back room
And when it mixes with the funk, my friend
It turns into perfume

When you are born you're afraid of the darkness
And then you're afraid of the light
But I'm not afraid when I dance with my shadow

This time I'm gonna get it right
To think of what I'll get tonight

Just lookin' for a little taste, a taste of India
She'll steal the smile right out of your face

Her yin and yang, Is just the thing
She's unpredictable my friend

God I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta know that's what's gotten into ya
Any cat man do when it's done...

It's like the first taste love of vindaloo
That sets your heart on fire
And if you let her stuff get into you
It will be all that you desire

When you make love to a sweet tantric priestress
Drinkin' in the bliss of delight
But I'm not afraid when I dance with her shadow

The time I'm gonna get it right
She's gonna whet my appetite
Just lookin' for a little taste, taste of India
She'll steal the smile right out of your face

She friend of mine, She concubine
The sweetest wine, I gotta make her mine

God I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta love the sweet taste of India
Blame it on the beat of the drum

God I love that sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
Any cat man do when it's done

Just think of what I'll get tonight
She's gonna whet my appetite
Just lookin' for a little taste, taste of India
She'll steal the smile right out of your face

Yeah Yeah
If I could change the world
Like a fairy tale
I would drink the love
From your Holy Grail
I would start with love
Tell ol' Beelzebub
To get outta town
Cause you just lost your job

How did we get so affected (cause I think)
Love is love reflected

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come full circle

And if
There's a spell on you that
I could take away
I would do the deed
Yeah and by the way
Here's to Heaven know's
As the circle goes
It ain't right
I'm uptight
Yeah and get off my toes

I used to think that every little
thing I did was crazy
But now I think the Karma
cops are comin' after you

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come full circle

Every time you get yourself caught up inside
Of someone else's crazy dream
Own it, yeah that's a mistake
Everybody's gotta lotta nadda killing them
Instead of killing time

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come full circle

Cyberotic head explode
Information overload
And I just can't take it anymore
And I'm gonna break

Something's gotta give
Tell me when to turn the screw
Does the noise in my head bother you
Something's gotta give
Comic books are coming true
Does the noise in my head bother you

Digerotic mass appeal
Feels like flesh but tastes unreal
And I'm gonna break

Something's gotta give
Tell me when to turn the screw
Does the noise in my head bother you
Something's gotta give
Don't you like it, Tell me true
Does the noise in my head bother you
Something's gotta give
Hold your breath 'til you turn blue
Does the noise in my head bother you
Something's gotta give
Comic books are comin' true
Does the noise in my head bother you

If love that seemed to fall from grace
Was sitting on your interface
Your megahertz she can't forgive
Your love died before you ever lived

Something's gotta give
Tell me when to turn the screw
Does the noise in my head bother you
Something's gotta give
Don't you like it, Tell me true
Does the noise in my head bother you
Something's gotta give
Hold your breath 'til you turn blue
Does the noise in my head bother you
Something's gotta give
Comic books are comin' true
Does the noise in my head bother you

Up in smoke you've lost another lover
As you take the hit of your last cigarette
Strung out, burnt out
Yeah you're down on your luck
And you don't give a...
'Til the best part of you starts to twitch
Ain't that a bitch

Freak out! I'm alone now
I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
'Cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you're gonna find
You think you're high and fine as wine
Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
'Cause love is like wrong turn
On a cold night...yeah
Ain't that a bitch, Ain't that a bitch

In a daze
In the throes of emotion
You see God in the Devil's eyes
Then you fall so far from grace
You wouldn't know a kiss
If it was on your face
You can tell it to the jury
But you ain't got no case

Freak out! I'm alone now
I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
'Cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you're gonna find
You think you're fine as calamine but not
enough to scratch a seven year itch
'Cause love is like the last licks
Outta Hendrix...yeah
Ain't that a bitch, Ain't that a bitch

Then you feel so out of place
Lickin' up the arsenic
From the same old lace
You know the stuff is poison
But you gotta have a taste

You gotta
Freak out! I'm alone now
I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
'Cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you're gonna find
You think you're high and fine as wine
Then you wind up with your face in a ditch
'Cause love is like a warm gun
On a cold night...yeah
Ain't that a bitch, Ain't that a bitch

There's a cockroach in my coffee
There's a needle in my arm
And I feel like New York City
Get me to the farm

Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm

I got terminal uniqueness
I'm an egocentric man
I get caught up in my freakness
But I ain't no Peter Pan
Get me to the farm

Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Get me...

Buckle up straight Jack
Sanity is such a drag
Jelly beam Thorazine
Transcendental jet lag

Sanity I ain't gotta
Feeling like a pinala
Sucker punch-blowin' lung
Motherload-pigeonholed
I'm feeling like I'm gonna explode

I wanna be a Hare Krishna
Tattoo a dot right on my head
And the Prozac is my fixer
I am the living dead

Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm

Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm

Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm...

Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm

Sitting on a castle
On the floor with Esmorelda
Waiting for the Geezer
Captain Crunch to come around
Feeling suicidal
’Coz of certain situations
Hanging from the stairs
Too long
I think I'm coming down

It's time to crash
Losin’ my mind, losin’ my mind, losin’ my mind
Yeah it's time to crash

Doin’ tons of coke and blow
Stuffing it in every hole
Miles high so am I
Watching Jimi kiss the sky
Salle diner becomes a blur
With everybody jammin’
Republicans begin to sin
The batwings start a slamming

It's time to crash
Losin’ my mind, losin’ my mind, losin’ my mind
Maybe it's a little late but it's time to crash

You drive me crazy

Captain Billy Beemish
Put a lamb up on a rack
Thanks for coming Billy
And we hop you're coming back
The castle will be waiting
For next bangers and mash
Blanche and Marsha Reznick
Put their marmite with their hash

It's time to crash
Losin’ my mind, losin’ my mind, losin’ my mind
Yeah it's time to crash

Finders keepers, losers weep
Down on 42nd Street
Aw barefoot children cryin', my-oh-my

I watched you on the Avenue
While other men were havin' you
I think that you should let your caged bird fly

And kiss your past goodbye
Kiss your past goodbye, yeah
Kiss your past goodbye, yayah
Kiss your past goodbye

I've been so lost I must confess
I had my share of loneliness
But yeah, it's hard to keep a good man down

The loves you lost were all in vain
The past is all inside your brain
I don't think you need those memories hangin' round

Yeah goodbye
A-Kiss your past goodbye
You gotta learn to fly
And kiss your past goodbye
yeaaaaaah, yeah yeahhhhhhhhhh

Aaaaaaaaa Kiss your past goodbye
Ooooooooo Kiss your past goodbye

And if that bird don't fly away
There's just one thing I've got to say.

Its later than a deuce a ticks
Your broken heart on needs a fix
Your feedin' off a high that will not last

N people they don't seem to care
And sorry just don't cut it, yeah
It seems to me your gettin' nowhere fast

So Kiss... your... past...
or kiss your ass goodbye
Kiss your past goodbye
Thers no more tears to cry, yeah
Kiss your past goodbye
Kiss your past goodbye or
Kiss your ass goodbyeaaaaaaaaaaah

Pink it's my new obsession
Pink it's not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause
Pink is the love you discover

Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink, 'cause you are so very
Pink it's the color of passion
'Cause today it just goes with the fashion

Pink it was love at first sight, yeah
Pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

You could be my flamingo
'Coz pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink like a deco umbrella
It's kink - but you don't ever tell her

Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

I want to be your lover
I wanna wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
Pink is my favorite crayon, yeah

Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink it's like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

This girl I knew
She loved me and blew me away
We made love no doubt
But she never went out of her way

I keep wonderin', I keep wonderin' why
Do the wings of your butterfly
Lightnin' thunder
I keep wonderin' why

Hey I think you need am attitude adjustment
Knock-down drag out
I got to make myself a latitude adjustment
With or without

I was rather naive
So I didn't believe when you said
Our love is in jail
Honey you hit the nail on the head

I keep wonderin', I keep wonderin' why
Do the wings of your butterfly
Lightnin' thunder
I keep wonderin' why

Hey I think you need am attitude adjustment
Knock-down drag out
Don't you ever baby, wonder where the lust went
With or without

Now I know what it is
Cause I know what you are
No more cryin' eyes my friend
Excusem fuckin' moi

No more wonderin'
I got news for you

Hey I think you need am attitude adjustment
Knock-down drag out
I got to make myself a latitude adjustment
I'm headin' south

Yeah I think you need am attitude adjustment
From inside out
