Placebo Album

I was alone, Falling free,
Trying my best not to forget
What happened to us,
What happened to me,
What happened as I let it slip.

I was confused by the powers that be,
Forgetting names and faces.
Passers by were looking at me
As if they could erase it

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone,
Staring over the ledge,
Trying my best not to forget
All manner of joy
All manner of glee
And our one heroic pledge

How it mattered to us,
How would it mattered to me,
And the consequences

I was confused,
By the birds and the bees
Forgetting if I meant it

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications
And the Sex and the drugs and the complications

Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?
Baby did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone,
Falling free,
Trying my best not to forget

One last time before I shuffle off the planet,
I will be the one to make you crawl
So I came down to write you an unhappy birthday

Someone call the ambulance
There's going to be an accident
I'm coming up on infra red
There is no running that can hide you
Cos I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra red
Forget your running I will find you

One more thing before we start the final face-off
I will be the one to watch you fall
So I came down to crash and burn
Your beggars banquet

Someone call the ambulance
There's going to be an accident
I'm coming up on infra red
There is no running that can hide you
Cos I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra red
Forget your running I will find you
(Find you)

#Mumbling#

Someone call the ambulance
There's going to be an accident
I'm coming up on infra red
There is no running that can hide you
Cos I can see in the dark

I'm coming up on infra red
Forget your running I will find you
Cos I can see in the dark

I'm coming up on infra red
There is no running that can hide you
Cos I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra red
Forget your running I will find you
I'll find you

You're always ahead of the game
I drag behind
You never get caught in the rain
When I'm drenched to the bone every time
You're the first one to swim across the Seine
I lag behind
You're always ahead of the game
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You're always ahead of the pack
I drag behind
You posses every trait that I lack
By coincidence or by design
You're the monkey I've got on my back
That tells me to shine
You're always ahead of the pack
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You're always ahead of the rest
When I'm always on time
You got As on your algebra tests
I failed and they kept me behind
I just gotta get off my chest
That I think you're divine
You're always ahead of the rest
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

A Space Monkey in the place to be
Riding in a rocket to a planet of sound
Shooting the Monn, playing Dominoes in drag
Increasing population of 100%

Space monkey in the place to be
With a chemical appeal
And a picture of me
Arm around in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature 100 degrees

We're sewn together
She's born to last my
Side of stronger
I die inside of her

A Space Monkey in the place to be
A massive contradictions in a bull in the frame
Raising everything the humanity way
Completely malnourished and a poke in the eye

A Space monkey in the place to be
Talk of the town with a Peruvian rock
Arm around in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature 100 degrees

We're sewn together
She's born to last my
Side of stronger
I die inside of her

It's far too secret
Don't ever fake it
And don't and don't and don't let me down

Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before

Space monkey in the place to be
With some free association and a hole in her head
Arm around in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature 100 degrees

We're sewn together
She's born to last my
Side of stronger
I die inside of her
It's far too sacred
Don't let her fake it
And don't and don't and don't let me down

Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before

The call to arms was never true
Time to embody here's to you
I'll tell you stories bruised and blue
Drum machines and landslides

Just one more round before we're through
More psychedelic yuppie flu
It's such a silly thing to do
Now we're stuck on rewind

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
Rob their houses

The call to arms was never true
Let's take a ride and push it through
Suspended in animation blue
Blame it on apartheid

Let's spend the night in Jimmy's shoes
I'll give you coats and cheap shampoo
I'll give you nothing else to do
Now we're stuck on rewind

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
Rob their houses

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
Rob their houses

The call to arms was never true
I'm medicated, how are you?
Let's take a dive swim right through
Sophisticated point of view

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And Rob their houses

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home

It's in the water baby
It's in the pills that bring you down
It's in the water baby
It's in your bag of golden brown
It's in the water baby
It's in your frequency
It's in the water baby
It's between you and me

It's in the water baby
It's in the pills that pick you up
It's in the water baby
It's in the special way we fuck
It's in the water baby
It's in your family tree
It's in the water baby
It's between you and me

Bite the hand that feeds
Attack the vein that bleeds
Down on my bended knees

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

It's in the water baby
It's in the pills that bring you down
It's in the water baby
It's in your bag of golden brown
It's in the water baby
It's in your frequency
It's in the water baby
It's between you and me

Bite the hand that feeds
Attack the vein that bleeds
Down on my bended knees

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

Fall into you, is all I seem to do
When I hit the bottle
'Cause I'm afraid to be alone

Tear us in two, is all it seems to do
As the anger fades
This house is no longer a home

Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting
And everything that's true
Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you

Stumble into you, is all I ever do
My memory's hazy
And I'm afraid to be alone

Tear us in two, is all it's gonna do
As the headache fades
This house is no longer a home

Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting
And everything that's true
Don't give up on the dream,
Don't give up on the wanting

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you

Fall into you is all I ever do!
When I hit the bottle
'Cause I'm afraid to be alone

Tear us in two
Tear us in two
Tear us in two

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you

If I could tear you from the ceiling
And guarantee A source divine
Rid you of possessions fleeting
Remain your funny valentine

Don't go and leave me
And please don't drive me blind
Don't go and leave me
And please don't drive me blind

If I could tear you from the ceiling
I know we best have tried
I'd fill your every breath with meaning
And find a place we both could hide

Don't go and leave me
And please don't drive me blind
Don't go and leave me
And please drive me blind

You don't believe me
Like you do this every time
Please don't drive me blind
Please don't drive me blind

I know I know I know I know I know I know

If I could tear you from the ceiling
I'd freeze us both in time
And find a brand new way of seeing
Your eyes forever glued to mine.

Don't go and leave me
And please don't drive me blind
Don't go and leave me
And please drive me blind
Please don't drive me blind
Please don't drive me blind
Please don't drive me blind
Please don't drive me blind

I know you're broken
I know you're broken

Leave me dreaming off the bed
See you right back here tomorrow
For the next round
Keep this scene inside your head
As the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling goes down

And if you're ever around
In the city or the suburbs
Of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in sorrow
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown

Saw you crashing around the bay
Never seen you act so shallow
Or look so brown
Remember all the things you say
How your promises ring hollow
As you threw me to the ground

And if you're ever around
In the backstreets or the alleys
Of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in pity
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown

When I dream, I dream of your lifts
When I dream, I dream of your kiss
When I dream, I dream of your bests

Your bests
Your bests

Leave me bleeding on the bed
See you right back here tomorrow
For the next round
Keep this scene in your head
As the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling goes down

And if you're ever around
In the city or the suburbs
Of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in sorrow
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown
Like Pierrot the clown
Like Pierrot the clown
Like Pierrot the clown

duet with Michael Stipe of REM

They rise above the hills
They cry about this
As we live in hope
A broken promise
I was not honest
Now I watch as tables turn
And you're singing

I'll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I'll wait my turn
I'll wait my turn

I'll cry about this
And hide my cuckled eyes
As you come off all concerned
And I'll find no solace
In your poor apology
And you'll regret that sounds absurd
And keep singing

I'll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
And I'll wait my turn
To terrorize you
Watch you burn
And I'll wait my turn
I'll wait my turn

And this is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise

And I'll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I'll wait my turn
I'll wait my turn

A broken promise
You were not honest
I'll bide my time

On top of the world you get nothing done
Talk is cold and burns like the sun
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos on top of the world is where I'm from

Your lack of class is where I was
Keeping quiet playing dumb
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos the back of the class is where I'm from

And I am one
I am
I am one
I am I am I am I am I am

I'm in a race that's killing time
I don't need yours I'll keep it with mine
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos I'm in a race and I'm doing fine
Thank you

Two of a kind and no-one knows
I'm in a crowd and I'm still alone
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos one of a kind is all I own

I am one
I am
I am one
I am I am I am I am I am

Out of the blue and into the void
I wanna try but I get annoyed
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
So out of the blue and into the void

I am one
I am
I am one
I am I am I am I am
I am one
I am
I am one
I am I am I am I am I am

In cold light of morning while everyone is yawning
You're high
In the cold light of morning the party gets all in your pie
As your skin starts to scratch with yesterdays action goodbye

Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions
You're high
In the cold light

In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning
You're high
In the cold light of morning
You're drunk sick from whoring and high
Staring back from the mirrors
A face that you don't recognise

It's a loser a sinner a cock and a dildo's disguise
In the cold light

Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
As your skin starts to scratch
And wave yesterdays action goodbye

Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions.
You're high
In the cold light of day

Tomorrow's only a king
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle
whistle
Away

You are one of God's mistakes.
You crying, tragic waste of skin.
I'm well aware of how it aches,
and you still won't let me in.
Now I'm breaking down your door,
to try and save your swollen face.
Though I don't like you anymore
you lying trying waste of, space.

Before our innocence was lost
you were always one of those
blessed with lucky 7s,
and the voice that made me cry.

My oh my.

You were mother nature's son.
Someone to whom I could relate.
You're needle and your damage done,
remains a sorted twist of fate,
now I'm trying to wake you up,
to pull you from the liquid sky.
Cause if I don't we'll both end up
with just your songs to say goodbye.

My oh my.
A song to say goodbye.(x2)
A song to say.
Before our innocence was lost
you were always one of those
blessed with lucky 7's,
and a voice that made me cry.

It's a song to say goodbye.(x8)
