Toadies Album

We're coming home on a plane crash
We trip away through the night
We're breaking up on impact
We'll bring it to you live

We're creeping into your living room
We're crawling into your bed
We're taking you all back to school
We're bringing you our dead

We found a friend in Jesus
Via sattelite
He says there's nothing to regret
Just bring it to me live

We're itching, we need it
Your broken, your bleeding
We're living, we're learning
We're watching you burning
We know what we really want

I guess I left myself wide open
I guess I earned that weight
Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
I know you saw, you saw it coming
Well, I saw it coming, too
Now with eyes all over you
I can't help but wonder
What we'll do under that weight, that weight
Take the bait
Take, take, take

Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
Where's my friend, I need a hero now
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away
Lips and cheek and full of drink and tell me what I said

I thought I knew you, I thought I knew myself
Never guessed the cost, the waste
Just a taste is all I wanted
It's been a long time, a long time coming
But this is how we make or break

Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
What the hell we stepping into now
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away
Pinch and wink and full of drink and shoulder to the weight

Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
I thought I knew you, I thought I knew myself
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away...
Push it, push it

Swimming in pride, my sweet thing
It's such a pretty night for losing
Our innocence, Our tenderness
It's all been kissed away
And now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin

Swinging your hips, you found out
It's easy as sin to put me down
Don't roll your eyes
Don't breathe a sigh
You're not so shy
So help me, now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin

So hard to wait just for a kiss
Now we're the same, we're all regret
No tenderness
No innocence
It's all been kissed away
And now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin

To get a leg up you must put your foot down
You roll your sleeve up
You put your back into it
You get your head around it

To find the fast track to enlightenment
You must cleanse your mind and body
You must get your head around it
Must get your head around it

You want to be ringside, or in there swinging
You want the grand prize
You must get your head around it
Let's get your head around it

You want the last laugh
You want the victory lap
You want the finer things
You want the brass ring
You must get your head around it

To get a leg up you must put your foot down
You roll your sleeve up
You get your head around it
Let's get your head around it...

Long neck, short leash
Sweet lips are black, black, black
You walk, I lead
Little tricks, stagger and fall
Heel

You're crying, well listen
This time you really were bad, bad, bad
I will show you some discipline
Yes, you will learn some respect, respect, respect
Heel

God I love you
You're so pretty
Love you, love you
Pretty, pretty
Heel

Give me back my legs
I want to walk like I did
You stole away my breath floating over my head
Do you lead me on with your fingers across my back, well
When I drag you down you will sink like an anchor
You will, like an anchor

And as I'm falling out of the sun, back to where I feel safe again
How did I come undone trying to save my own skin
I want to be your hero
I want to show you the good fight
I want to touch your face before you sink like an anchor
You will, like an anchor

You'll come down on my side
You'll come down in good time
You'll come down on my side
You'll come down...

If this is a dream I'm happy you're having it with me
I will stay and savor the way you move me
Don't want to miss one detail, one sweet smile from your lips
One kiss sets me adrift

Chase the stars as they fall down and light up where you are
They are yours for the keeping
Trace the curves of the sheets
A riddle of desire when I watch you sleeping

Pressed against the sky, eyes wide open...

Shut down the disease, brush it aside and stand up off your knees
Tip the scales, spin me some horrible, beautiful tales
Now you're weak, and you're tired and lonely
You can't see what could be yours for keeps all the while
You can take what you want
But you're not so nice any more
Everything we have we steal

Run your fingers over me
Pull away the skin, uncover the disease
With a weakness and a tenderness we kiss
Consuming each other all over again
You can take what you want
But you're not so nice any more
Everything we have we steal

Give me your hand and I will hold it forever
On my nightstand in a box with your love letters
I love you dear, and I know we will not be parted
I'll keep you near, scattered around my apartment
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
You are not the same girl you had been
I promised I'd never lose you

Give me your hair, just a lock will do
An old photograph to capture the spirit of you
And I'll keep these things wrapped up in an old cotton blouse
The one you wore that summer before your love petered out
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
You are not the same girl you had been
I promised I'd never lose you

Laid on my bed
A beautiful mess
My whole world
You gave me your hand
You gave me your hand
I don't understand why you don't want it back

This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
You are not the same girl you had been
I promised I'd never lose you
Honey I tell you true I'll never lose you..

Peel away your skin just a little more
You can let me in just a little more
Can you taste it, I do
When you bite down on the truth
We can peel away just a little more
I'll cut you right down to your sweetness
Right to your sweetness

I know it hurts real bad to lay it open
I've tried so hard myself to make you love it
My love, my pride
I swallow you tonight
We can peel away just a little more
I'll cut you right down to your sweetness
Right to your sweetness
Peel away, peel away

Cut right down to the soul, to the center of you
I found me a home for the sinner in me
Cut down to the soul, to the center of you
I found me a home for the sinner in me
Cut down
The sinner in me

I'll eat you slow, my sweetness
You give control, my sweetness
I drink you down, my sweetness
I think I found my sweetness
my sweetness

Never heard you say goodbye
Read your letter, made me cry
Saw you with another guy
Never one to waste your time
You're in love, you're in love
Hell below me, stars above

Saw you with that other man
Feathered hair and tall and tan
Treat him like I know you can
Stroke his cheek and hold his hand
You're in love, you're in love
Hell below me, stars above

Stars above are shining down
Nothing ever gonna hurt me now
And I slip away happy as a clam
Stars above are smiling now
Ever since you put me down
And I close my eyes, and I can't see your face
Stars above are shining down...

In the middle of a house, in the middle of nowhere
Bodies glide from room to room
I hate these walls
They speak to me
Hey skin like a doll
You're no friend of the family

Catch that light
It falls in suble patterns
It crawls in and tells them when their time is up
And when it's over
He takes her hand, and he kisses her cheek
She's a doll, oh yeah she's his spitting image
Where have you gone
You're still a part of me
Hey skin like a doll
You're no friend of the family

Catch that light
It falls in suble patterns
It crawls in and tells them when their time is up
And now it's over
Where have you gone
You're still a part of me
