Game Show

I'm here in this hotel, and I'm half asleep I know
I feel like a loser on some tired, weak game show
As I lie here I hear the sounds of 93 below
And I flip on the TV as the memories start to flow
"No, no" I said, "No, no, no, no, no"
"No, no" I said, "No, no, no, no, no"
(consolation) The consolation prize I get for playing my best
(left behind) Left behind, broken, tattered like the rest
(mystery prize) I choose the mystery prize, hoping it was for the best
(disturbing test) There's no way I can win in this most disturbing test
"No, no" I said, "No, no, no, no, no"
"No, no" I said, "No, no, no, no, no"
Guess I played the fool
I didn't play to win
Now I'm losing you
"No, no" I said, "No, no, no, no, no"
"No, no" I said, "No, no, no, no, no"
So I curse Wink Martindale for having me on his show
A years worth of Turtle Wax was all I have to show
The best I can hope for is this Lightning Round I'll know
But there's no way I can win when I get to that free through
"No, no" I said, "No, no, no, no, no"
"No, no" I said, "No, no, no, no, no"
(consolation)
(consolation)
(consolation) "No, no" I said, "No, no, no, no, no"
(consolation) "No, no" I said, "No, no, no, no, no"
(consolation)
(consolation)
Guess I played the fool
I didn't play to win
Now I'm losing you
Again

Hypnotize
03:46
|

|
Never in my life have I been this shy
Never had I thought to even question why
Never in my days has the moon been so blue
It's all imagination cause I have nothing else to do
I can't believe my fate, I can't believe my eyes
My precious thoughts are burning up inside
I can't believe my luck, I can't believe your eyes
Take a good look all the better to hypnotize
It's easy to understand but tough to comprehend
The illusions I face time and time again
The world is over-crowed but they all stare at me
They see it my face more or less to some degree
I can't believe my fate, I can't believe my eyes
My precious thoughts are burning up inside
I can't believe my luck, I can't believe your eyes
Take a good look all the better to hypnotize
Eat up my soul throw away the bones
And I won't be a pain to you...
I can't believe my fate, I can't believe my eyes
My precious thoughts are burning up inside
I can't believe this luck, I can't believe your eyes
Take a good look all the better to hypnotize
To hypnotize
To hypnotize
To hypnotize
To hypnotize
To hypnotize
To hypnotize you
To hypnotize
To hypnotize you
To hypnotize you
To hypnotize you
To hypnotize you
Take a good look all the better to hypnotize you

Beware They Said
03:53
|

|
Beware she said
We're all above the Moon
And the Earth and sky
Will come crashing down soon
Too soon, she said
To make us realize
That the future I hold
Is not up in the sky
Rain came from down below
Coming up from the ground
Push me side to side
And turn me upside down
Make me cry out loud
I love all you do
Clouds up in the sky
My morning's gone all blue
Beware I said
We're all a bit too young
And our childish dreams
Will soon become undone
Don't, she said
And put a finger to my mouth,
Don't you go
And let all your God damn secrets out
Rain came from down below
Coming up from the ground
Push me side to side
And turn me upside down
Make me cry out loud
I love all you do
Clouds up in the sky
My morning's gone all blue
Beware, you said
Of knowing all you know
For those dreams and schemes
Will surely start to show
Too soon, you said
To make us realize
That the future I hold
Is not up in the sky
Rain came from down below
Coming up from the ground
Push me side to side
And turn me upside down
Make me cry out loud
I love all you do
Clouds up in the sky
My morning's gone all blue

Fetid
04:35
|
|||
|
The fetid smell in my room will linger for some time
It's the smell of dust and pain, and broken nursery rhymes
I'm free inside my mind to constantly wonder why
Had time to myself and think of the by and bye
And instead
You left while I bled
Alone
The arrogance of youth, gone like a milk tooth
And in the case of my heart, broken from these false starts
The fetid smell of decay, was keeping me awake
And I couldn't clear the air, of the stench of my fears
And instead
I lay alone
Tossing in my bed
And you think that you may
Keep me tangled up in decay
And instead
I may cry
But I'll push myself up till I die
Alone
And instead
I'll die alone
Here in my bed
And you think that you may
Keep me tangled up in decay
And instead
I will cry
but I'll push myself up till I die
Alone

Another Reason to Laugh
04:23
|
|||
|
And this whiskey drips down my chin
And the lilies wilt on their stands
and this barrel of monkeys don't make me laugh anymore
And the TV is like my only whore
And I never had another reason to laugh
And I never had another reason to laugh
And this picture of Liverpool on my wall
It don't remind me of how things used to be
Now I count the sheet music as it falls
And I’ll know that you won't be here tomorrow
And I never had another reason to laugh
And I never had another reason to laugh
Did I take it from you like you took it from me?
And we made things complicated
Like I never ever had a rhyme
I can fill out my forms, and tie my own shoes
And I’ll never have a nice suit to go with my eyes
But that's the least of my worries
I’ll trip the light fantastic on my own
And the moons of Jupiter are all alone
And this gin and tonic don't comfort me like it used to in the old days,
Before my monkey's died
And I never had another reason to laugh
And I never had another reason to laugh

Super Me
05:14

Don’t sell me the hooker with the heart of gold.
I know the story and it’s growing old.
Tell me something, anything that’s true,
I’ll believe it coming from you.
Make me feel like I did that night,
Make me feel like a…
Super me
(A) Super me
I stared into your eyes at 4 A.M. that night.
You told me to sleep, that it would be alright.
I guess it wasn’t that way, no not for me today.
You had me believe that I could succeed as a…
Super me
(A) Super me
I’m far away from home. At night I feel alone.
I felt safe in your arms, far away from harm.
Wasn’t it understanding that took us to that place?
Or was it love that disappeared without a trace of a…
Super me
(A) Super me
I drink alone, waiting for you to call.
I know that it won’t happen, happen after all.
Was it me? Could I be as ugly as I think?
Was it timing, luck or fate? Or was it just the drink?
(And a) Super me
(A) Super me
(A) Super me
(And a) Super You

Fresh Fallen
04:05
|

|
Out in the fresh fallen snow
Off to the East your foots prints go
Out into the night, into the black
There's so much I never go to ask
Did you want to hurt me
Did you want to see me cry
Is that what you wanted
Is that why you said goodbye
I never knew you well
I guess its just a story
and I can't tell
I never knew you well
I guess its just a story
and I can't never tell
Out in the late Autumn Spring
Off to the East your blackbird sings
I trip off in my blue mind
I trip off somewhere kind
I never knew you well
I guess its just a story
and I can't tell
I never knew you well
I guess its just a story
and I can't never tell
Out in the fresh fallen snow
Out in the fresh fallen snow

Won't you come in to my party of sin
I'm going down for gravy and it's driving me crazy
A glamour pussy and a shot of my uzi
I'm going down on Brittany and it's driving me crazy
In my fridge I've got some pictures of you
Next to a turkey sandwich and a Mountain Dew
(Shanghai) Can't be strong
(Shanghai) Can't live for long
(Shanghai) Can't be with me
(Shanghai) Can't you see
A too close shave over a shallow grave
I'm going down for gravy and it's driving me crazy
A darkened alley and here name was Sally
I'm going down for gravy and it's driving me crazy
In my fridge I've got some pictures of you
Next to a turkey sandwich and a Mountain Dew
(Shanghai) Can't be strong
(Shanghai) Can't live for long
(Shanghai) Can't be with me
(Shanghai) Can't you see
(Shanghai) Hear what I say
(Shanghai) Can't live this way
(Shanghai) Don't be cruel
(Shanghai) I love you
Won't you come in to my party of sin
I'm going down for gravy and it's driving me crazy
A darkened alley and here name was Sally
I'm going down for gravy and it's driving me crazy
(Shanghai) Can't be strong
(Shanghai) Can't live for long
(Shanghai) Can't be with me
(Shanghai) Can't you see
(Shanghai) Hear what I say
(Shanghai) Can't live this way
(Shanghai) Don't be cruel
(Shanghai) I love you
In my fridge I've got some pictures of you
Next to a turkey sandwich and a Mountain Dew
Simon's got some crazy lights on the ceiling
I can't shake this crazy feeling
(Shanghai) Can't be strong
(Shanghai) Can't live for long
(Shanghai) Can't be with me
(Shanghai) Can't you see
(Shanghai) Hear what I say
(Shanghai) Can't live this way
(Shanghai) Don't be cruel
(Shanghai) I love you

I don't go out, much these days
I like to stay in and watch my television
And smoke myself into oblivion
The K stands for Elizabeth
And I believe everything she says
Her words of love spinning round my head
Around my head.
In my bed, it's a lonesome town
In my bed, it's a lonesome town
I faded into me cause I had nowhere else to go
I picked Maria up, down on Araphroe
We went home and we made love, but it wasn't quite like that
It was something darker, it was something black
In my bed, it's a lonesome town
In my bed, it's a lonesome town
In my bed, it's a lonesome town
In my bed, it's a lonesome town
Maria, rumages through my clothes
She says, hey man, everything you've got is old
Why don't you go and find something new?
Why don't you go and do what you need to do?
In my bed, it's a lonesome town
In my bed, it's a lonesome town
In my bed, it's a lonesome town
In my bed, it's a lonesome town

Let Me Come Over
04:09

Let me come over, don't you know I'll make you feel alright
Let me come over, pour some wine, we'll dance all night
I know we've had our problems, but I can't help but feel they've passed
I know things have gone wrong, but I know that we'll out last
Let me come over, I know things will be just fine
Let me come over, we'll keep dancing, drink more wine
That's when you said that you still think of him
Can't be helped you say, now I know the mess I'm in
Now I know I'll never be the same again
I'll never fall in love I'll never give myself away again
Let me come over, I'm sure that we can make it through
Let me come over, let me make love to you
It won't be the same now, I know it will haunt us still
I can only try my best, I know it will surely kill
Now I know I'll never be the same again
I'll never fall in love I'll never give myself away again
Just you know why, why you went and took my heart
Just you know why, why you went and broke my heart
I'm not a fool
I know its through
I'll never be so damn happy
I guess I'll try a little harder
Let me come over, I don't need to sing these words

I can't shave anymore
I can't bath anymore
I can't wait anymore
I can't shine anymore
I can't be anymore
I can't believe anymore
And I know that it comes
But I can't wait anymore for the sun
And I know that it comes
But I can't wait anymore for the sun
The doctor says have a drink
And the doctor says he needs some time to think
I'm dying, I'm dying
I'm dying, I'm dying
And I know that it comes
But I can't wait anymore for the sun
And I know that it comes
But I can't wait anymore for the sun

Rips away

Slips away
Torn away

Rot away
Die away
