Sometimes I feel high
Sometimes I feel so unbelievably down
It's nothing to do with pleasure or pain
No it works its way up
From the pit of my groin
Sometimes I feel high
Something shoots-out with an aching and burning
Throws me to the wall
High
Fly
Over you fall

What's gone wrong with my heart
It seems to beat the wings of evil
Screaming it's loudest when I want to keep quiet
It's shouting out loud
Here is me
Here I am
Take me now
And sometimes it doesn't beat a sound

Sometimes when it rains
I have the urge to break the windows
I put my wrist out to the air
Live long live

I would do almost anything
To rid myself of you forever
I would succumb
To thoughts that verge on maim and murder

No-one can hold me
No-one ever holds me down
Light my lantern
My free heart
Buried six feet underground (x2)
I could despise you
It only rots of sickly pity
Stagnates for who ?
For me or for you ?

I could kill myself
I really have not much to give you
Parchment transparent
You can see right through (x2)

Blood and tongue damn swollen
My mouth makes promises never kept
If only I'd kill you
Sent you to heaven while you slept
While you slept (x5)

But our love won't die
Our love won't ever die
It'll never die
Never (x3)
It'll ever ever die


. . .



I'm a labyrinth of hopes and fears
Of tears of frustration and of anger
But if you can break through this wall
And search amongst it all
You'll find a man there
Who has a heart of love
Who is afraid of getting jaded
Growing older
Who needs someone to love him
Through life's winter
When the weather grows a little colder

I know I have a darker side
A cruel streak
I'm selfish and demanding
But I'm a man with a vision
It just takes a little understanding

And in my hand
The grains of sand
A thousand million moments of emotion
Oh... these
Oh... these my dreams are yours

I'm a boat well rocked by wave and wind
I've sinned, I'd win
No prizes for perfection
But at best I've given all my all
My shoulder for your tears
And your protection
And if one day I don't wake up
Remember I was good upon reflection
And if they say I was a fool
Be cool, but demand correction

And in my hand
The grains of sand
A thousand million moments of emotion
Oh... these
Oh... these my dreams are yours

You can have my smile my tears
My wishes here's a fortune
To adorn you
I'll whisper in the night to you
Promise to adore and never scorn you
And as we grow a little older
Try to understand more of each other
I will be your golden eye
Your master of illusion
Or just your lover

I'll be a dragonfly, a butterfly
A secret or a little lie to test you
A song a verse a lullaby
A symphony once in a while
To try and impress you
I'll take your heart to the limit
The colours of my joy
My tears to dress you
But sometimes dear
My heart's my own
I don't wish to exclude you or
Distress you

But darling...
And in my hand
The grains of sand
A thousand million moments of emotion
Oh... these
Oh... these my dreams are yours

Black kiss
Kiss deep
Inside
Your sleep
Dark love
You crave
Black kiss
I gave

Black kiss
Inspire
Cold heart
On fire
Black kiss
Red rose
Where no
One goes

Beautiful evil
Beautiful evil
Why do you hurt me?
Why do I let you?
I need your blood now
But you're not giving
Without your blood how
Can I keep living?

Black kiss
From above
Soft mouth
Hard love
Sweet kiss
So true
Black kiss
That I gave you

Beautiful evil
Beautiful evil
Why do you hurt me?
Why do I let you?
I need your blood now
But you're not giving
Without your blood how
Can I keep living?

Black kiss
Kiss deep
Inside
Your sleep
Black kiss
Barb wire
Cold heart
On fire

Beautiful evil
Beautiful evil
Why do you hurt me?
Why do I let you?
I need your blood now
But you're not giving
Without your blood how
Can I keep living?

There in my mind
Clear and defined
Deep in my heart
Where do I start
Blood on your lips
Passionate bliss
Don't want to miss
Your black kiss

Beautiful evil
Beautiful evil
Why do you hurt me?
Why do I let you?
I need your blood now
But you're not giving
Without your blood how
Can I keep living?
Can I keep living?
Can I keep living?
Can I keep living?

Oh I bet your life
You're sick of the sight
Of those eat in, take out, throw up pizza bars
Love's just got to pass your way in time
You smell of prison, smell of crime
I just didn't want to say I told you so

Someone called "Hey yesterday boy!"
Take your well worn body away from my sight
Friends run like rats from a sinking ship
Leaving you naked to the night
Now you're known as the last resort
By the vultures on the make
They say
'You have to eat the hamburger
To appreciate the steak'

You always feel the sting of words
As children are so cruel
They called you Ugly, Ugly Head
When you were at school
You've tried to make the best of things
But it seems you've given in
They call you Ugly, Ugly Head
Something makes you feel the living sin

Things must feel so insecure
When you're on your last legs
You're swimming in the coffee pot
Drowning in the dregs
But you haven't got the sense to die
(Or get a decent job)
To look into a mirror
Or at the very worst some kind of God
You need something to believe in
I just wish it was yourself
Try to summon up the guts
To rectify your ailing health
For there's something round the corner
Waiting just out of sight
That'll stop you feeling low and limp
And naked to the night

You always feel the sting of words
As children are so cruel
They called you Ugly, Ugly Head
When you were at school
You've tried to make the best of things
But it seems you've given in
They call you Ugly, Ugly Head
Something makes you feel the living sin

Ugly, Ugly, Ugly
Ugly, Ugly, Ugly
Ugly, Ugly, Ugly
Ugly Head!
