riding on the morning train
thinking of heroin
off to a dead-end job again
let me out
endless hours and endless chores
suit and tie but still a whore
longing for the weekend drink
too cleanse your soul
don't let them stand
on your pride
just keep it up
and keep them out
say fuck you all
it's my life
you force my hand
you rape my time
say fuck you all
I don't care
staring out the greasy window
the smell of sweat and baby shampoo
mobile phones ringing like
hell's bells
(it) feels like a cosmic joke
out of gas on a dead-end road
like a rabbit in you headlights please
run me down

Ghosts & Shadows

struggling 'cross these plains
bird of prey circling 'round
there must be some direction
it's just one I haven't found
there's a fire in my chest
everytime I think of her
she's my big city woman
she's my sweet little girl
but I've got skeletons in my closet
no room there left to stand
Oh I wish I was half the man, she
thinks I am
but I've got troubles on my mind
and there is trouble at the door
I've got ghosts and shadows following me
wherever I go

welcome to the alien nation
welcome to the underground
slip into the intoxicating vapours
sniff 'em like a hound
angels and demons out
it's in your blood
it takes your mind
gives you sound
gives you vision
gives you aim
in the pitch black night
are you ready for some lucid dreaming
glide like a manta ray
beep beep goes the machine
there's a hunger in the sails
let me go don't make me stay
it's in your blood
it takes your mind
gives you sound
gives you vision
gives you aim
in the pitch black night
can you dream yourself out of a dream?

dropped my coin into the cup
of a beggar called blind ambition
but I was not ready, I was in no condition
to lead the charge
now my heart is frozen like a crystal splash
in a sea of diamond tears
and the weather is turning like a homesick soldier
like a cosmic set of keys
janglin' in the breeze
and all the gold and all the silver
forever out of reach
'but in spite of every twist and turn
I still believe in the diamond king and me
I'll stick my sword deep into the throne
if that is what it takes
I will annihilate, desecrate, oh just let me be brave
I'm so tired of these chains
I'll stick my sword deep into the throne
if that is what it takes
I will annihilate, desecrate, oh just let me be brave
I'm so tired of these chains
and all the gold and all the silver
forever out of reach
throw me out to the dogs
that live out on the street
wild and truly free
like the king of hearts and me
