Oh make me over
I'm all I wanna be
A walking study
In Demonology

Hey, so glad you could make it
yeah, now you've really made it
Hey, so glad you can make it now

Oh look at my face
My name is might have been
My name is never was
My name's forgotten

Hey,so glad you could make it
yeah,now you've really made it
Hey,there's only us left now

When i wake up in my makeup
It's too early for that dress
Wilted and faded somewhere in Hollywood
I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh
No second billing cause you're a star now
Oh Cinderella, they aren't sluts like you
Beautiful garbage beautiful dresses
Can you stand up or will you just fall down

You better watch out
Oh what you wish for
It better to be worth it
So much to die for

Hey,so glad you could make it
yeah,now you've really made it
Hey,there's only us left now

When i wake up in my makeup
Have you ever felt so used up as this
It's all so sugarless
hooker/waitress, model/actress
oh just go nameless
Honeysuckle
She's full of poison
She obliterated everything she kissed
Now she's fading somewhere in Hollywood
I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh

You want a part of me
Well I'm not sellin cheap
No, I'm not sellin cheap

. . .


Swing low sweet cherry
Make it awful
It's your life, it's your party, it's so awful
Let's start a fire
Let's start a riot! Yeah it's awful
It was punk
Yeah, it was perfect now it's awful

They know how to break all the girls like you
And they rob the souls of the girls like you
And they break the hearts of girls

Swing low, cherry, cherry
Yeah it's awful
He's drunk, he tastes
Like candy, he's so beautiful
He's so deep like dirty water
God, he's awful
You're lost, oh, where's your daddy -it's so awful

And they royalty rate all the girls like you
And they sell it out to the girls like you
To incorporate little girls

Hey, run away with the light
Run away its divine
Let's run away, yeah, tonight, and
We'll steal the light of the world

Swing low, sweet cherry, yeah its awful
You're gonna ripe for the picking, it's so awful
You've got your youth
Don't waste your money
Yeah its awful
I was punk!
Now I'm just stupid
I'm so awful

Oh, just shut up you're only 16

If the world is so wrong
Yeah you can break them all
With one song
If the world is so wrong yeah you take it all
With one song

Swing low sweet cherry
Make it awful
hey bought it all, just build a new one.
Make it beautiful...yeah

. . .


Put me up above the boy
The one I love I should destroy
My sweet tooth has burned a hole
Forget about it all

He hit so hard
I saw stars
He hit so hard
I saw God

He’s cold give him a candycoat
He can’t swim but he can float
One by one they all fall down
I look at him and drown

He hit so hard
I saw stars
He hit so hard
I saw God

I saw God
Just one big shiny flash
God
You're secret's safe tonight
God
So much, so much to lose
God
So glad that we're alive

He’s so candy my downfall
Melts in my mouth, ‘til he’s nothing at all
This keeps me, I can’t sleep
He rages to be true

He hit so hard
I saw stars
He hit so hard
I saw God

I saw God
Just one big shiny flash
God
Oh set me straight tonight
God
Look at the pretty lights
God

Oh, man, he hit so hard
I saw stars
He hit so hard
I saw God
I saw God


. . .


Crash and burn
All the stars explode tonight
How'd you get so desperate
How'd you stay alive

Help me please
Burn the sorrow from your eyes
Oh, come on be alive again
Don't lay down and die

Hey, hey
You know what to do
Oh, baby, drive away, from Malibu

Get well soon
Please don't go any higher
How are you so burnt when
You're barely on fire

Cry to the angels
I'm gonna rescue you
I'm gonna set you free tonight, baby
Pour over me

Hey, hey
We're all watching you
Oh, baby, fly away, to Malibu
Cry to the angels
And let them swallow you
Go and part the sea, yeah, in Malibu

And the sun goes down
I watch you slip away
And the sun goes down
I walk into the waves
And the sun goes down
I watch you slip away
And I would

And I knew
Love would tear you apart
Oh and I knew
The darkest secret of your heart

Hey, hey
I'm gonna follow you
Oh baby, fly away, yeah, to Malibu
Oceans of angels
Oceans of stars
Down by the sea is where you
Drown your scars

I can't be near you
The light just radiates
I can't be near you
The light just radiates

. . .


Love hangs herself
with the bedsheets in her cell
threw myself on fires for you
10 good reasons to stay alive
10 good reasons that I can't find

Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
so sick in his body so sick in his soul
oh give me one reason to be beautiful
oh and everything I am

Love hates you
I live my life in ruins for you
and for all your secrets kept
I squashed the blossom and the blossom's dead

oh give me a reason to be beautiful
so sick in his body so sick in his soul
oh and I will make myself so beautiful
oh and everything I am

Miles and miles of perfect skin
I swear I do, I fit right in
my love burns through everything
I cannot breathe
Miles and miles of perfect sin
I swear, I said, I fit right in
I fit right in your perfect skin
I cannot breathe

hey, baby, take it all the way...down
hey baby taste me anyway
oh you were born
so pretty oh summerbabe
we'll never know
and fading like a rose....

Give me a reason to be beautiful
so sick in his body so sick in his soul
I'll give you my body just sell me your soul
oh and everything I am will be bought and sold
oh and everything I am will turn hard and cold

and they say in the end
You'll get bitter just like them
and they steal you heart away
when the fire goes out you better learn to fake
it's better to rise the fade away

hey you were right
named a star for your eyes
did you freeze did you weep
turn to gold baby, sleep

hey honey mine
I was there all the time
and I weep at your feet
and it rains and rains

. . .


You see the cripple dance
Pay your money, baby
Now's your chance
Eyes like cyanide

I am so dumb
Just beam me up
I've had it all forever
I've had enough

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin


Our love is quicksand
So easy to drown
They steal the gravity, yeah
From moving ground

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

And now I understand
You leave with everything
You leave with everything I am
Withering

And now I know that love is dead
You've come to bury me
There's nothing left here to pretend
Anything

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
Under your skin

Under your skin


. . .


It's the emptiness that follows you down
It's the ache inside when it all burns out
It's poisonous it muscles it aches
It's everything you had when it breaks

It's the emptiness that's all you have left
Too terrified of your frozen breath
It's a bitter mouth it's buttered and knived
It's the awful truth you fight for your life

It might as well it might as well hurt
It might as well it might as well

I went down to rescue you
I went all the way down
Fill your hungry wretched life
Here they come it's closing time

It's the bitter root it's twisted inside
It's the heart you used to have when it died
It's the emptiness it poisons it lies
It's everything that you'll never find

It might as well it might as well hurt
It might as well it might as well

I went down for the remains
Sort through all your blurs and stains
Take your rapture blister burns
Stand in line it's not your turn

All dressed in red, always the bride
Off with her head, all dressed in white
Off with her head

I went down to rescue you
I went all the way down
I went down for the remains
Sort through all your blurs and stains

Ooh, I will follow you
Anytime anywhere
Ooh, when they come for you
Just say you don't care


. . .


And i cry and no one can hear
In hell
The blinded eyes that see
The chaos
Bring the pitiful to me
Even though i’m wide-awake, i will,
& blackest night and i wait for you
It’s cold in here there’s no one left
& i wait for you
& nothing stops it happening
& i knew, i’d cherish all my misery alone

And i wait staring at the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead me anywhere,
He’s so cold he will ruin the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the Northern Lights
Kneel into the frozen lights

And they paid, I cry and cry for you
Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow
I cried ‘cause you were doomed
Praying to the wound that swallows
All that’s cold and cruel
Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude
They run to the pines
It’s black in here blot out the sun
And run to the pines
Our misery runs wild and free
And i knew, the fire and the ashes of his grace...

And i wait staring at the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead you very far
He’s so cold he will win the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the frozen lights
Feel their hearts they’re cold and white

And i want you
And blessed are the broken
And i beg you
No loneliness, no misery is worth you
Oh tear his heart out cold as ice it’s mine

And i wait praying to the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead you anywhere
He’s so cold raining on the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
And i pray begging to the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead you anywhere
He’s so cold he will rule the world tonight
All the angles kneeling to the Northern Lights
Kneeling to the frozen lights
Feel their hearts they’re cold as ice

. . .


Do what you want
'Cause I'll do anything
And I'll take the blame

What's mine is yours
You can't have all of it
And I'll learn to beg

All the boys on the radio
They crash and burn
They fold and fade so slow
In your endless summer night
I'll be on the other side
When you're beautiful and dying
All the world that you've denied
When the water is too deep
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight
Tonight

I want what's yours
Oh I'd give anything
And I'll take the pain

I wait alone
For what will never come
And I'll throw it all away

All the boys on the radio
They crash and burn
They fold and fade so slow
In your endless summer night
I'll be on the other side
When you're beautiful and dying
All the world that you've denied
When the water is too deep
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight
Your beauty blinds

If I let you in under my skin
And risen every angel slain

He said he'd never, ever, ever go
And heavens, heavens, heavens know
And never, ever, ever go away
Baby, I've gone away

In your endless summer night
I'll be on the other side
When you're beautiful and dying
All the world that you've denied
When the water is too deep
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight
Your beauty blinds

I know what you are running to
Please come back
Oh, come back again
I hear the truth
It's coming from you
Oh, come back
Won't come back again

In your endless summer night
I'll be on the other side
When the water is too deep
I will ease your suffering
When the glitter fades in morning
Turn away and you will find my empty eyes
Your beauty blinds

I know that you are rotten to the core
I know that you don't love me anymore
I know that you are rotten to the core


. . .


Here comes the sun in the form of a girl
She's the finest sweetest thing in the world
Take you to heaven tonight
I feel the horses coming galloping
In the summer rain
Take you to heaven tonight
'Cause I love you for what you are

I'll gallop to you, tonight, tonight
We'll ride, I'll give it to you
We're going to heaven tonight
Tonight

Out on the winding road I couldn't wait
Oh baby, I was afraid
Headed for heaven tonight
I'll go to heaven tonight
I feel the horses coming galloping
I will never grow old
I'll go to heaven tonight
Because I love you for what you are

I'll gallop to you tonight, tonight
We'll ride, I'll bow down to you
We're going to heaven tonight
Tonight

I can't believe that I can be happy
Someone will come again
I can't be happy
Oh, stop your crying
You can be happy
Go to heaven when you make me happy

Here comes the kiss that I never had
Nothing feels like this
Headed for heaven tonight
I love you

Here comes a storm in the form of a girl
She's the finest sweetest thing in the world
I'll go to heaven tonight for what you are

I'll gallop to you tonight, tonight
We'll ride, I'll bow down to you
We'll go to heaven tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Take it tonight
Take it tonight
Take me tonight
Tonight
Tonight


. . .


Hey you, you’re way ahead of me
You’re drunk on apathy
You burned right out
Hey you, you’re just a cripple now
We sell for millions now
They sold you out

And, oh, I had to tell them you were gone
I had to tell them they were wrong
And now they’re playing your song

Hey you, don’t take it out on me
You’re bored of everything
You burned right out
Hey you, so bored and cynical
It’s fucking wonderful
They sold you out

And, oh, they’ve bought and sold it all, it's gone
They’ve taken it and built a mall
And now they’re playing your song

Ooh, their innocence tastes like candy, yeah
Get so fat on it, it’s a tragedy, yeah
I can help you come to me, yeah
Just bring your innocence to me, yeah

Hey you, don’t you dare blame me
You trusted everything
They sold you out
Hey, you, now when they call it cool
It’s just so mean and cruel
They sold you out

And, oh, they bought and sold it all, it’s gone
And every note of it is wrong
And now they’re playing your song
Yeah yeah yeah
And, oh, they’ve bought and sold it all, it's gone
They’ve taken it and built a mall
And now they’re playing your song
They're playing, playing your song
They're playing, playing your song
They're playing, playing your song


. . .


She's the angel on top
of the tree
sugar, honey, here she comes
She's going to fall on me
innocence was our fire
we told the truth
I miss the sweet boys in the
Summer of their youth

CHORUS (x2)
Tear the petals off of you
And make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you

They will make you so, so cynical
the fire burns the flesh;
destroys the best that made our souls
She's the grace of this world
She's too pure
For the likes of this world
this world is a whore

CHORUS (x2)

oh, it's all mine
yeah, hey, it's all mine
I never knew what I could be
oh the darling buds of May
they fall with no sound
they carry you down
they carry you down
oooooh
ooooh ooh oooooh

All the lilies bloomed and blossomed
Wilted and they're shivering
I can't stop their withering
Oh, this world is a war

CHORUS (x3)
