The Stills Album

We all need to feel secure and so middle-class
But I'm still waiting for next week's chemical blast
Don't go feelin' insecure, no feelin' sad
With an M-16, you'll feel the surge of you're American past

But are you afraid, you always said the world will never last
And Lola I'm not afraid, if you star-wipe all your past away
And the sun comes one more day

Lola, Lola,
Will the world end? Me and you
Lola, Lola,
No we're never going to make it through

Can you take me back to that place where stars glow?
Comets swarm like fireflies outside your window

But are you afraid, you always said the world will never last
And Lola I'm not afraid, if you star-wipe all your past away
And the sun comes one more day

Lola, Lola,
Will the world end? Me and you
Lola, Lola,
No we're never going to make it through
Lola... [4x]

Brains, on a brick wall, from gender bombs would fall
The sordid way allotted phrases infiltrate your skull

Images are strong, impulses are strong
And logic will break your heart forever, be brave

Massive suicide dreams
The feel warm and long

The girl will school you
The girl will...

And could this be the gaining force of ten loves in a row
The drunken Sunday evening's would just be in your way, no

Massive Suicide dreams
The feel warm and long

The girl will school you... [8x]

I wear the smile, I wear the laugh
I'm in the backstage changing hats
I am a weekday on weekends
I hate my best friends

Spoke and choked,
I burnt my notes
This heart drones as
I try and act adult
But like a walkman falls to pieces
All parts no heart

See me change, changes are no good... [2x]
See me change

All the world's deranged and I'm left crouched, people delayed are in a rush
I want a world but I might throw up. Will it ruin my make-up?

See me change, changes are no good... [2x]
See me change...

See me change, changes are no good
See things change, changes are no good
See me change...

I'll make my own way; I'll make my own way
Don't bother counting on me, loving me, just act like I'm gone
Well this sorry joker joke, it's all we really need
There's nothing that I need

Too late and too bad, I'm stuck feeling bad
Without you, I'm a mess, without you, you just don't know
This is really not a joke; you're all I really need, you're all I really need

And I'm just so bored of wasting my time
Love and death always on my mind
And I'm just so sick of wasting my time
Love and death always on my mind

I'll make my own way; I'll make my own way
Don't bother counting on me, loving me, just act like I'm gone
Oh, this sorry joke, a joke, it's all we really need
There's nothing that I need

And I'm just so bored of wasting my time
Love and death always on my mind
And I'm just so sick of wasting my time
Love and death always on my mind

The falling free on, it's turning me on
It drips on the street, the sun cries from the heat
I love feeling beat, I'll kiss the lipstick on your teeth

Friends getting old, we all dig for gold
The crumbs and pieces, the dead mess in the sink
Turning me on, Turning me on

The night's so happy, the base drum heavy
The photo glossy, the people pretty
Turning me on... [4x]

I'll see you in a second, a dirty little minute
That was an hour ago, don't censor me
So picture me, there's no change the sun goes down

I'm ready for it... [2x]

Days seem to pass, crowds move too fast
About an hour ago, we hit a tree
We bruised your knee, keep on saying you love me

I'm ready for it... [2x]
Loving me is a black hole

Lie on the floor of the runway, baby
Wait for the ride; we'll have a comfortable fly

And don't be afraid, to be afraid here with me
And plunge, little worm, into the worm-hole with me

Let's roll... [2x]

South to the sea, I got a sailboat for free
Yes, little worm, we'll sail the sewage out to sea

And don't be afraid, of the roaming alligators
And save the heart attacks for later

Let's roll... [4x]

North, to the fringe, I know a bar there that's in
Out of the way, in a Hades kind of way
But I'm not afraid, as long as you're here with me

Let's roll... [8x]

So what do I say? So what can I say?
The cards out on the table, Allison

She lied and said she was a virgin
And I asked which, which version?
The cards out on the table, Allison, Allison

So what do you say? So what do I pay?
The cards out on the table, the cards out on the table
Lay down on the table, Allison, Allison, Allison

I stumble out of a night club thinking,
"Animals and insects don't do drugs."
I think I'll go out and act like I'm celibate
Jingle bells and a Christmas choir

I softly kick a dog in the teeth
But he can't beat me down
Blood streaming from the palms of my feet
I'll bring the heavens down screaming with me

Oh my God... [4x]

I'll shake my cutie pie fist at a waitress
When I'm sick of the way that I've been
I think I'll go out and act like I'm celibate
Throw grenades at a Christmas choir

Oh my God... [12x]

We were lovers, we were kissers
We were holders of hands; we were make-believers just losing time
You said you'd rather live in T.V. land and then say that you can but you don't
That's heartless and I will not cry

But I'm still in love
And I'm still in love... [3x]

You're dreams of acting on screen. What do they mean?
You'll be dancing senseless in your bedroom and
You find yourself out of a job and before too long
You'll be selling lemonade to the overpaid

And I'm still in love... [5x]

I remember it was summer; I was out of my head but you would
You're selfish and a waste of space

But I'm still in love
And I'm still in love... [6x]

Strange like skin
That I believe in
It stretches over bone
And smells like honey on the wind
All so strange
I can't remember
Where the heartache ends
And the fever it begins

Scenes of Mary Magdalena
Who shakes her lovers bones
At all the demons in the window
All so strange
The dreams that haunt my bad
The heartache swells
and quickens near the end

And then slows down
It slows down
Till I shut down,
I won't try to run

Strange like skin
That I believe in
It leaks out of the phone
And spills like
Honey from the window
Warm and strange
I can't remember
How the heartbreak mends
When the fever it remains

And I'm so down,
So down
So down
And I lay down
And I won't try to run

My looks pushed too far, I'll get wrecked in some bar
I've lost it, my foot's on a nail

The dark winter snows bright, please stay here tonight
I'll cry my face straight through my pillow

Some things last forever, why can't this last forever
Nothing lasts forever, I hope this lasts forever

More sex, more goodbye's
I love you and I won't let myself let you go

Some things last forever, why can't this last forever
Nothing lasts forever, I hope this lasts forever
