Techno
Piece . . . of. . . cake

The way I see it you must be blind
But can you spare a dime?
Can't you see your son is in too deep
Burning in the final sleep

Wide awake for ninety nine hours
No sleep tonight
He'll be pushing up flowers
Second chance he'll never get
A special high for blazes, burn

Left behind
Left and right
No end in sight
No end in sight
Let behind
Left and right
No end in sight
No end in sight

Running frantic without a clue
In the sand looking straight at you
Nothing straight, the world goes around
No one's safe until they're deep in the ground

Shot in the back, stopped in your tracks
The shifting sands coming over us
A second chance he hasn't got
It all boils down and turned around

Left behind
Left and right
No end in sight
No end in sight
Left Behind
Left and right
No end in sight
No end in sight

There's so many times I couldn't bear to watch
Witness the boredom of you thinking all soft
He left his mark, he left you blind
Chasing the dream, left sleep behind

Left behind
Left and Right
No end in sight
No end in sight
Left behind
Left and right
No end in sight
No end in sight
No end in sight
No end in sight

A day is so long without
A day is so long within
Confounded, so crowded, move out
Move right along alone
Move right along, I've been
surrounded, surrounded, move out

Time and time again
Time and time again
Time and time again
Time and time again
It isn't this way

Move out

Step from the right side
Move to the outside
Change all directions
Leave no reflections
Move out

Keep out the inside
Use the tricks you've tried
Which leave no reflection
And take all direction
Move out

Time and time again
Time and time again
Time and time again
Time and time again
It isn't this way

Move out

Time and time again
Time and time again
Time and time again
Time and time again
It isn't this way

When it all burns down
What you gonna do?
When it all burns down
Where you gonna go?
When it all burns down
How far you gonna run?
When it all burns down

Never thought it'd get down to this
Never thought it'd get down to this

Deep and sound asleep
And never saw the blaze
Deep and sound asleep
Couldn't smell the smoke
Deep and sound asleep
Didn't feel the flames
Deep and sound asleep

We were dreaming while the city burned
We were dreaming while the city burned

Now it's all burned down
Who can you trust?
Now it's all burned down
How come you're still alive?
Now it's all burned down
Where can you sleep tonight?
Now it's all burned down

Got one bullet left
And your time's run out
Better take that last shot
Better make it count
Got one bullet left
And your time's run out
Better take that last shot
Better make it count

Rock
Piece.....of.....cake

Pull yourself together
Take a stab at forever
Relax and let yourself go
Put yourself together
Take a shot at forever
Sit back, let the tears flow

No time like the present
To get ripped apart
Got this burning desire
Aiming straight for your heart
Suck dry
Suck you dry
Can't breath until
I suck you dry

Come a little closer
Before I slide over
Come on, I want you to burn
Come a little closer
Before I take you over
Come now, watch myself burn

No time like the present
To get ripped apart
Got this burning desire
Aiming straight for your heart
Suck dry
Suck you dry
Can't breath until
I suck you dry

No time like the present
To get ripped apart
Got this burning desire
Aiming straight for your heart
Suck dry
Suck you dry
Can't breath until
I suck you dry

We fell asleep on the riverbank one sunny afternoon
We fell asleep on the riverbank one sunny afternoon
Woke with a rope around my neck, swear I did no wrong
Blinding Sun, beats down in my eyes
Blinding Sun, beats down in my eyes
Had my fill on the river bank, with you by my side

What have I done?
What have I done?

Can't be long to the setting of the sun
No, it can't be long now to the setting of the sun
Maybe then I'll see, maybe then I'll fight or run
Who are you, and what do you want?
Who are you, and what do you want?
Your countenance shines brighter than the midday sun

What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?

Just my luck if nightfall never comes
Be just my luck if nightfall never comes
Waiting with a rope around my neck for the setting of the sun
Sun, sun, why don't you set?
Said, sun, sun, why don't you set?
Try to put this all behind me, but I can't forget

What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
Where have you gone?
What have I done?
What have I done?

If I try I could fly right through that window
If I try I could fly right through that window
Just can't find my way to the door

When I land I know I will not be injured
When I land I know I will not be injured
There's no way that I can hurt any more

Got an open mind
Up on the thirteenth floor

Got an open heart
Up on the thirteenth floor

Found an open window
Up on the thirteenth floor

Everything's wide open - oh
On the thirteenth floor

[No lyrics]

I'm spun
I'm spun
I'm spun
I'm spun

Let's get it straight I'm a ricochet
Bouncing off these walls I could hit you all
When you see me come you better run

Yeah yeah, the world keeps spinning
It don't affect the way I'm thinking
I'm spun outta control
I'm spun now you're spun

Let's get it straight I'm a ricochet
Bouncing off these walls I could hit you all
When you see me come you better run

Yeah yeah, the earth spins today
My head spins the other way

Now you see what happened to me
Watch me feeling, get the feeling
Afraid it's true, afraid it can happen to you
You know it's true, it can happen to you

Never know when you'll snap
Never know when you'll break
Never know when you'll crack
All you know is you can't track back

I'm spun I've come undone
I'm spun, yeah I'm almost caught

Let's get it straight, I'm a ricochet Bouncing off these walls I could hit you all
When you see me come you better run
I'm spun

[No lyrics]

Feelin' so dull in the middle of action
Out on the prowl lookin' for a distraction
I found you out looking unaware
I knew if you could you'd take me there
C'mon - yeah - oh - take me there

Following you to provoke some reaction
Turning around face to face with satisfaction
Living so cold in a world of care
You know I'd love you to take me there
Today - oh - c'mon - take me there
Take me there

I can tell from the look on your face
You've been thrown around a better place
I can tell from the look in your eyes that things here just ain't right
I can tell from the smile on your lips it must have been one hell of a trip

Take it baby no I don't care
Take me now just take me there
Take me there take me there
Take me there

Shoot for the stars
My, my how lucky you are
Shoot for the stars
My, my how lucky you are
Shoot for the stars
My, my how lucky you are
Shoot for the stars
My, my how lucky you are

C'mon too cool and collected
Claiming how you're so well-connected
With the thousands you've infected
Who turn out to be just as wretched

This living wreck will come to crash again
Time is tight and I just might come back to what you are

Nasty things you're trying to hatch
Snakes and bugs make no kind of match
What the hell you trying to catch
Trading your friends for cold hard cash

This living wreck will come to crash again
Time is tight and I just might come back to what you are

Shoot for the stars
My, my how lucky you are
Shoot for the stars
My, my how lucky you are

We got a date, you left your house
To step on up to a higher ground
Shoot for the stars 'cause she's been shown
Good God your ambition's gone

This living wreck has come to crash again
This living wreck has come to crash again
This living wreck has come to crash again
This living wreck has come to crash again

Time is tight and I just might come back to what you are

Let me let you
Let me let you
Let me let you
Let me let you
Let me let you down
Let me let you down
Let me let you down
Let me let you down

Sittin' pretty like a snake in the grass
Got the world within my grasp
All coiled up, ready to strike
Give me a reason not to bite
It's your world, tryin hard to fit in
Think I would if I could only shed my skin

Let me let you
Let me let you
Let me let you
Let me let you
Let me let you down
Let me let you down
Let me let you down
Let me let you down

Don't let'em tell you that your no fun
Don't let'em tell you that your too young
Don't be afraid now to come a little closer
I'll show you how it's made, I'll make you feel older
I'll give you knowledge beyond your days
Dirty dirty, wash me down with your sweet tears

Let me let you
Let me let you
Let me let you
Let me let you

Let me let you down
Let me let you down
Let me let you down
Let me let you down
Let me let you down
Let me let you down
Let me let you down

[No lyrics]

With my heart on on my sleeve and my head on the curb
Got a sign on my cell that reads do not disturb
Fell asleep in the blizzard sometime last night
Woke up alone freezing awake
Hey, hey mister chicken where have you been
Hunting for trophies mostly every day

Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why
Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why
Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why

It's a good a place as any to go and die
It's a good a place as any to go and die

Have you heard my girl, I mean the other day
Took a ride with the sheriff and a roll in the hay
In the cell stewin' over some bum wrap
They say off with my girl, along with that sap
They say the headless chickens are takin' over
They say I lost mine over a four leaf clover

Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why
Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why
Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why

It's a good a place as any to go and die
It's a good a place as any to go and die

They say you always return to the scene of your crime
Well I'm diggin' the scene but I'm not sure if its mine

Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why
Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why
Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why

It's a good a place as any to go and die
It's a good a place as any to go and die

Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why
Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why
Goin' back to Ritzville
don't ask why

It's a good a place as any to go and die
It's a good a place as any to go and die

Good morning dear I think I'm losing it
Can't find my way and I'm, I'm getting used to it
Sun refused to shine on this side of the street
I'm not recognizing anyone I meet
Try to hide in the shadow of the sun
You're not fooling anyone

Oh Acetone
Won't you ever leave me alone
Oh Acetone
Oh Acetone

Look at me and answer truthful now
Oh did you drink that last spoonful down?
She drinks from the bitter cup
I'm trying to get her to give it up
Oh lord what have we become?
We're not fooling anyone

Oh Acetone
Why can't she leave you alone?
Oh Acetone
Oh Acetone

My feet are dragging down on this dusty old road
My throat is dry and I'm all alone
I remember when we walked side by side
When I was parched I would drink in your sight
I never meant to make you run
I never meant to hurt anyone
Oh Acetone
Why couldn't you leave us alone?
Oh Acetone
Oh Acetone

Shoot, shoot, shoot, hey

Don't be unkind
I'm out of my mind
And I'm telling you
It's not that I'm bad
I'm totally mad
I'm a loser, too

I'm certain
I must be a burden
Completely
Over the top, over the top

Don't know what it means
All I hear is screams
And I don't know whose
The nightmare's for real
I got a raw deal
It's all bad news

I swear it
I can't bear it
Completely
Over the top, over the top

You know it's no lie
My main alibi
It's a waste of time
You know it's the truth
the lyrics' the proof
But at least it rhymes

You can't harm me
'Cause I'm barmy
Completely
Over the top, over the top

Always wanted more than he needs
Always wanted more than he can take
Always wanted more than he can handle
Always wanted another piece of cake

King Sandbox says more
King Sandbox wants more

He always gets more than he deserves
He always dresses to suit himself
He always takes so you can't have
He always wants more than anybody else

King Sandbox sees yours
King Sandbox wants yours

Oh

On top of his mountain
Mountain of gold
King of the hill
Has got to have it all
Now he owns the sandbox
And his playmates
Move in the cold
He's a spoiled child
Born to it all

King Sandbox wants more
King Sandbox wants yours

Baby o baby
Tonight, tonight
Baby o baby
It's right tonight
Baby o baby
Tonight, tonight
It's right tonight
It's right tonight
It's right tonight
It's right tonight
It's right tonight
It's right tonight

Oh
Oh
Ow

Baby o baby
Tonight, tonight
Baby o baby
It's right tonight
It's right tonight
It's right tonight
It's right

Oh

Wanted it why?
Wanted it why?
Wanted it why?
Wanted it why?
Wanted it why?
Wanted it why?
Wanted it why?

Baby o baby
Tonight's the night
Baby o baby
It's right tonight

Oh

O baby o baby
Tonight, tonight
O baby o baby
It's right tonight
It's right tonight
It's right tonight
It's right

Oh
Oh

You swear you still got the fire
But when I touch you, you feel so cold
Your as hollow as your burned out eyes
Nothin' left nowhere to go
Nowhere nowhere nowhere
You got nowhere to go

Desire burns you from the inside out
How does it feel not to feel
I can't stand it when your around
Remindin' me how you used to be real

You used to be
You used to be
You used to be
You used to be real

In the blood, it gets in the blood
In the blood, it gets in the blood
In the blood, it gets in the blood
In the blood, it gets in the blood

Wo oh oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
It gets in the blood

No legs
No legs
No legs
No legs can't get me where I want to go

No eyes
No eyes
No eyes
No eyes can't see what I'd like to see

No mind
No mind
No mind
No mind can't know what I've got to know

No heart
No heart
No heart
No heart can't feel what yearn to feel

No (no) No (no) No (o)No (no no) NO (no no no no no no)
No legs
No legs
No legs
No legs can't get me where I want to go

No eyes
No eyes
No eyes
No eyes can't see what I'd like to see

No mind
No mind
No mind
No mind can't know what I've got to know

No heart
No heart
No heart
No heart can't feel what I yearn to feel

Woke up this morning face down on the rug
I said a prayer of thanks to the Lord above
My pounding brain brings out another hard day
And when the sun goes down I go out and play

I did the mission for a long, long time
If I hurt no one, I committed no crime
Well righteous folks say my life is a sin
That can explain the shape I'm in

Now, as far as I can tell
The only thing between me and Hell
Yeah, as far as I can tell
The only thing between me and Hell
The only thing between me and Hell
Is the floor
Is the floor

Woke up this morning face down on the rug
I said a prayer of thanks to the Lord above
My pounding brain brings out another day
And when the sun goes down I go out and play

Seems as plain as the passing of time
Well if you hurt no one, you've done no crime
Well righteous folks claim I'm born in a sin
That kind of thinking shapes this mess I'm in

Listen kid, as far as I can tell
The only thing between me and Hell
The only thing between me and Hell
The only thing between me and Hell
The only thing between me and Hell
Is the floor
Is the floor

The only thing between me and Hell
between me and Hell
Is the floor
The only thing between me and Hell
between me and Hell
Is the floor
Is the floor

There's a lot of things that'll do you no good
As you waste away here on the couch
This side of you is doin' no one no good
No good

Confusion reigns
Confusion is king
Confusion is the state you'll find me in

Confusion reigns
Confusion is king
Confusion is the state you'll find me in

Now I'm not sayin' that I'm alright
And I'm not sayin' I can show you the light
Cuz I see darkness day and night
It's been six long years with the devil at my side, my side

Confusion reigns
Confusion is king
Confusion is the state you'll find me in

Confusion reigns
Confusion is king
Confusion is the state you'll find me in

Make a hole
Make it wide
Make a hole
Make it wide

Make it now
Make it now
Make it now
Make it now

I'm so far from here
I'm so far from here
I'm so far from here
I'm so far from here right now

Make me whole
Make me right
Make me whole
Make me right

Make it now
Make it now
Make it now
Make it now

Behind these walls, locked up tight
No more darkness, no room for light
Speak to me

I'm so far from here
I'm so far from here
I'm so far from here
I'm so far from here right now

Walking in the city
Can see no stars above
I don't need your pity
And I can feel your love
Wish I could
Wish I could
Searching for peace of mind
I took off for the woods

Lost in the forest
Can't find my way home
Can't feel your love
Lost and all alone
It's not so bad
It's not so bad
When your on top of
Deception Pass

Lost track
Of my path
On Deception Pass
Deception Pass

Don't know where I'm going
Can't recall where I've been
Lived a righteous life
And lived a life of sin
Don't know what I've done
Don't know what I've done
If I ever make it out of here
Get back to you

Lost track
Of my path
On Deception Pass
Deception Pass

Well, I seek love for guidance
I know it hurt my friend
Tried to sell my way out
But the Devil wasn't there
Seems my life
Ain't worth a dime
Well I may be lost
But for now all this is mine

Lost track
Of my path
On Deception Pass

Overdrawn
In need of cash
Not a job in sight
Let's rob this goddamn bank, you know
The next thing I know
We had eleven people sprawled out on the black and white tiled floor
While the manager stuffed our flower pillow cases full of green
Stepping over the unarmed guard
And stepped into daylight
And into a right bad dream, now

Underide
You by my side
Smoking tires
Underide
Underide
You by my side
Underide

Never thought we'd get away with it
Much less get out of that bank alive
From here on out it was just a matter of driving
There weren't limits in my confidence
With a tank full of gas
A trunk full of cash
And two miles to the state line
And a county full of roads to get lost in
We had it made
I was so glad I didn't hear that screech
Because our plan was working

Underide
You by my side
Smoking tires
Underide
Underide
You by my side
Underide

I don't know where a lot of sirens and a sudden lightning storm
The only thing that made any sense was this guy and his fricking face
This guy kept smiling at us
"What are you looking at? Lets get the fuck out of here," she screamed
I pushed the gas pedal out of the bank parking lot
And into the back of a Chevron Tanker

Oh, baby, I lost my head
Oh, baby, I lost my head
Oh, baby, I lost my head
Looking at you
Oh, baby, I lost my head
Oh, baby, I lost my head
Oh, baby, I lost my head
Looking at you

Underide
Flame and fire
Smoking tires
Underide
Underide
You're out of sight
By my side
Underide
