Veruca Salt Album

Speak
You're speaking words
But all I ever heard
Is white noise from weird boys

Space
You're spacing out
By the way
What's that face about
It's so weird
It's so weird

You don't know me
You don't own me
You're just poassing through my life
You're a stranger
With bad behavior
You're so weird I'm terrified

Back lounge
A chain smoking Charlie Brown
You're busted up
And broken down
So you're so low rent
You're texting vegan sex again
It's so weird
It's so weird

You don't know me
You don't own me
You're just passing through my life
You're a stranger
With bad behavior
You're so weird I'm terrified

Slowly, faintly
Slowly, faintly
Slowly, faintly
Slowly, faintly

You don't know me
You don't own me
You're just passing through my life
You're a stranger
With bad behavior
You're so weird I'm terrified

I can't breathe
The centipede
Is choking me
It's my one-armed monster
Daylight
No appetite
Don't wanna fight
Cause I'm
Cause I'm
Broken depressed fucked up insane
Smokin depressed wanna see you again
Broken depressed fucked up

My heart aches
I need a break
A clean escape in my pink pajamas
I'm angel-dusted
I'm ill-adjusted
I can't be trusted
Cause I'm
Cause I'm
Broken depressed fucked up insane
Smokin depressed wanna see you again
Broken depressed fucked up insane

I can't breathe
The centipede
Is killing me
The furniture's
Peculiar
It keeps me company

Broken depressed fucked up insane
Smokin depressed wanna see you again
Broken depressed fucked up insane
Broken depressed fucked up

We got a cutter in the bathroom
She kinda busted out of high school
She's seventeen and she likes the taste
It's too late
It's too late
For such an innocent face
Such an innocent face
You got an innocent
Lalalalala
You're an innocent

You can't see when the lights are down
You can't see what they're saying now
The kind of face that sparks a cash flow
You got a cover shoot in t-t-t-tokyo
You got an innocent face
You got an innocent
Lalalala
What a waste

You show up you're on the A-list
And no one knows how much you hate this
You won't eat without a gun to your head
You won't eat without a gun to your head
You're such a pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty
You're such a pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty mess

Are we gonna figure out or make it round our little circular trend
Are we gonna break it down or hang around or make it good in the end

You make me smile when I don't feel like dealing
You're suicidal and you're fresh out of feeling
You say I love you like a slap on the wrist
Do I deserve this

Are we gonna build it up or blow it out our little fire of sin
Are you gonna fuck it up or hear me out or honey will you give in
Yeah

You make denial into some kind of fashion
You want my child but you don't have the passion
You say I love you like a slap on the wrist
Do I deserve this
Yeah yeah yeah
Do I deserve this
Yeah yeah yeah
Do I deserve

You make me smile when I don't feel like dealing
You're suicidal you're fresh out of feeling
You say I love you like a kiss on the lips
Do I deserve this
Yeah yeah yeah
Do I deserve this
Yeah yeah yeah

I don't want to be reckless
I don't want to be rude
I don't want to regret the stupid
Things I say to you

I don't want to be angry
I don't want to be sad
I don't want to look back on every thing we could have had

Perfect love
Perfect man
Perfect hand to hold onto
Perfect love
Perfect man
Perfect hand to pull me through
Perfect love
Perfect man
Perfect hand to guide me to
Perfect you

I want to be lovely
I want to be cute
I want to make all of your sex
Kitten dreams come true

I would like to be helpful
I would like to be pure
I would like you to love me madly
As I'm walking out the door

Perfect love
Perfect man
Perfect hand to hold onto
Perfect love
Perfect man
Perfect hand to pull me through
Perfect love
Perfect man
Perfect hand to guide me to
Perfect you

I will you to me like a river
Wash away all the war paint from your face

I want you to be happy
I want you to be safe

I waited for you like a lion
Lay you down
Weigh me down
You make my limbs ache

I want you to be near me
I want you to escape

So much closer to me
So much closer to me
So much closer to me
Closer

Summertime in the heat
Summer dive in the sheets
Waterslide into me
Come closer

My body's holding you for ransom
Gotta make it happen
Honey's gotta get paid

I want you at an angle
I want you face to face

You burn like motorcycle blue
I love the way you do it
Like it down the freeway

I need you like confession
I need you like a faith

So much closer to me
So much closer to me
So much closer to me
Closer

Summertime in the heat
Summer dive in the sheets
Waterslide into me
Come closer
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey

Sick
Sick of the night
Sick of the day
Sick of the sun that burns you
White
Knuckling it
Wasting away
Color yourself back in again

You're as sick as your secrets
You're as sick as your secrets
You're as sick as your secrets

Slip
Into the bath
Into the grey
Hating yourself so much it hurts
Wake
Up from a nap
Wish you were brave
But you're not that kind of person

You're as sick as your secrets
You're sick of it
You're as sick as your secrets
You're sick of it
You're as sick as your secrets
You're sick of it all

I'll take you back
I'll take you on
I want you to crack
I want you to crawl
I'll take your mistakes
I want you to break
I'll bring you home

Scared
Scared of yourself
And what you might say
So you just let the phone ring
Hey
You could come back
Back to L.A.
You used to like the summer

Wake up dead
You're entitled to
A night or two in bed
Without disguises

Wake up dead
You've decided to
Spend eternity without surprises

Wake up dead
You're excited to
Wake up dead

But I will accept you
Til the sun falls down
And I will protect you
Til the sun falls down

Wake up dead
You're invited to
Take a midnight stroll
With Mephistopheles

Wake up dead
You're awake enough
To know just what it takes
To get away from me

Wake up dead
You're excited to
Wake up dead

But I will accept you
Til the sun falls down
And I will protect you
Til the sun falls down
And I will respect you
Til the sun falls down

Check the damage girl
You got a car crash
A new stash
Stage fright

Who do you worship now
You got a mistress
A new bitch to get you high

Fi-fi-fi-fi-fi-find it
Or you're gonna freak out
You're fucking out of your mind

Can't you see the damage done
Is all over now
You can't cry anymore girl
Cause your tears dried up
With the needle and the score yeah

Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-like it or not
You can't stop
Such a heavenly ride
Memorize the number
Got a beep-beep-beeper
The bump on Riverside
Check my best friend out
She's burned out
But she's beautiful inside

Can't you see the damage done
Is all over now
You can't cry anymore girl
Cause your tears dried up
When you woke up on the floor
Can't you see the damage done
It's all over now
You don't try anymore girl
And I need you now
Like I never did before

These moments are sacret
You're my religion my love my life
Venice beach
Orange sunset
I say life
You say suicide
And I try to stop you girl
I try to keep you close
Try to take you home
We're two girls with one soul
Two girls with one soul
Two girls with one soul
My angel

Haleakala
Haleakala

Can't you see the damage done
It's all over now.

Blissful queen
Magazine
Making art
Stuck between
Limousines
Break my heart

You got me running
But I can't see you coming baby

Blissful queen
Sweet sixteen
Brand new car
Hit machine
Keep her clean
Razor sharp

You got me running
But I can't see you coming baby

Blissful queen
Velveteen
Shining star
Glistening
Wedding ring
Gone too far

Lighter than light
A feather
Floating into sight
Higher than I
Remember
I know you'll make it better
If I have to I will drive to the sea
To bring you to me

The sun
Rolling backwards
The day
Racing after
The wind
Rushing under
The night
Is the hardest time

So this is life
Together
The glamour and the grace
Brighter than bright
December
The winter on your face
And you're safe

The sun
Rolling backwards
The day
Racing after
The wind
Rushing under
The night
Is the hardest time

It's all right
It's ok
You're the master
It's all night
It's all day
It's all disaster
The saddest sound
Is down my hall
It's the saddest sound of all
I hear you scream
I hear you call

The sun
Rolling backwards
The day
Racing after
The wind
Rushing under
The night
Is the hardest time

Certain images
Certain packages
Certain images
Bring me to my knees

Certain neighborhoods
Certain addresses
Certain mattresses
Leave me empty

Comes and goes
Comes and goes
Comes and goes

Certain relatives
Certain witnesses
Certain Christmases
Bring me to my knees


Certain neighborhoods
Certain addresses
Certain mattresses
Leave me empty

Comes and goes
Comes and goes
Comes and goes

It's only perfection
You're only running scared
You just might get there

You burn it
Deserve it
It's got a rope around your neck
It wants your last breath

God save you
Save you
Save you
God save you
Save you

You're bleeding
Receding
Believing every little lie
You're so tired

And it's hurting me
And it's hurting you
And it burns through
Every thing you touch
I miss you so much

God save you
Save you
Save you
I'm not blaming you
Blaming you
Blaming you
God save you
Save you

She's an innocent freak
She's an innocent freak
She's an innocent freak
And I'm bored

God save you
Save you
Save you
God save you
Save you
I'm not blaming you
Blaming you
Blaming you
God save you
Save you
Save you
God help me
Help you

Salt lakes I saved for myself
I never thought you'd leave
Countries I've claimed to myself
I know you'll never be yourself again
But what you were is still in question

Pacific ocean's way too small
For both of us to swim
Antarctica will have to thaw
For us to meet again
And I respect the all of what is fair and worthy

And I will never feel this way about another person
And I will never feel this way again
I want to make you understand
It's not the songs and it's not the band
I'm still afraid but I'm doing the best I can

Given grace and all the saints
You'll never be near me
You got your drummer
You got your faith
I've re-defined the laws of friends
And what won't happen ever again

And I will never feel this way about another person
And I will never feel this way again
I want to make you understand
It's not the drugs and it's definitely not a man
I'm still afraid but I'm doing the best I can
Doing the best I can
I'm doing the best I can

That's enough for now.
That's enough for now.
That's enough for now.
That's enough for now.

Now I practice the art of forgetting...
