All lyrics are presented (where applicable) as in the original CD album booklet so moan at them if bits are missed out, blank or use words which aren't exactly in the dictionary. I'll add bits in here and there if they're missed out and basically try my best.

{01.go away [4:41]}

All the sounds around you used to play along
With your torn up head
As the music seeps into you
Everyone was trampled dead
Everyone could feel your madness
Slip in till it takes control
Everyone could see right through you
I wish you would just…

Go away

Go away from all the pain
That made you half as good as god
Taken all over in my brain
I recall the future
Take another star
Make him feel the pain

For every song you ever wrote
Take another fucking drink
For every melody that haunts
Take a pill that makes you faint
For every part of you that hurts
Take a needle
Make it sting
The irony is I’m just like you
A pseudo fucking freak

{^v^}
{02.give [3:48]}

I give you everything but me
Everyone around you twisted fame
I can’t control you and your look
You silly freak
You super fuck
I can’t believe whose side you’re on
Everyone around you lay with dogs
Like a bitter pill that’s lost its taste
I’ll take the whole thing anyway

I don’t love you
You don’t love me
But I can imagine
Like a little thief without a key
Well I can imagine

I’ll take the world
Blow it away
Send all your hopes to outer space
I can’t control you and your look
You silly freak
You super fuck
I can’t believe who’s side you’re on
Everyone around you lay with dogs
Like a bitter pill that’s lost its taste
I’ll take the whole thing anyway

Like a hurricane that’s lost his speed
I can imagine
Like a liquored mind I’ve gone insane
And I can imagine

{^v^}
{03.ugly [4:14]}

All the world loves things of beauty and intrigue
These two things
I've never had one
Born in this old skin
I'm too sick I can't win
I've lived with this damage too long
My eyes can't behold it
I cannot control this
This feeling that's left in my heart
I've never done no wrong
I don't deserve these bones
Please burn up this sin when I'm gone

And I said that this is ugly to me
The world is ugly to me
You are ugly to me
And I am ugly to me

I haven't become all I want to be
I haven't become anything I need to be
I haven't become all I want to be
Suffocate with me
I haven't become anything
Suffer

Why can't you look?
Why can't you look at me?
See what I see
Why can't you feel?
Why can't you feel like me?
Feel what I feel
Why can't you hurt?
Why can't you hurt like me?
Taste the pain I feel
Why must I die?
Why must I die for you?
It's the ugly truth
Well it's ugly

It’s making me painless

{^v^}
{04.everyone dies [3:19]}

Take me back from God
I can't sleep
No one can hear the sound of your heart break
Every little thing was on the floor
Everyone was so in love with you

Everyone dies my friend
They come from outer space
To blow up all the human race
Well everyone dies my friend
To take ‘em back away from god
Is all they ever wanted

I can taste the pain you're shovel in
Every word you said and every little monster
Moons over stardust made me sick
Every word you said
It's all you ever want to give

I can't understand why you can't believe
That they're not there

I can taste the pain you shovel in
Pain comes down here
Everyone around you suffocates
I can't see god
Everybody told you not to fall
My hands were tied
Everybody told you not to wait
My brain was fried

I can feel god

{^v^}
{05.strip her down [6:13]}

Do you want me to strip for you?

Everybody played a game
How come you won't tell me the rules?
I'm tired of trying on new skin
I never listen
I’m a fool
And everybody ran away
How come you won't tell me where?
I guess I treated them too wrong

Now the sun don't shine on me
Now the rain won't even fall

Could’ve stripped her down
And made the world a mess for her
Never thought she could be this way
Should’ve stripped her down
And ripped the world from under her
Never thought she could be this way

Should’ve stripped her down

Now that the love has gone away
Too blind to see my way to live
I waste away from all the pain, for you I'd kill myself again
I hope you get to play your games
I hope you get to see your friends
I hope the guilt mixes the pain
I hope you never love again

Should’ve stripped her down
Could’ve stripped her down

Strip
Take it off

{^v^}
{06.insane [5:40]}

Everyone around you suffocates
Think I don't believe in God
Every little pill that helps you think
Makes my mind a social fault
I can take a million fucking freaks
Blow 'em up and make you pay
All the plastic clowns have taken me
To the moon that wasn't grey

I have gone insane and I'm the one to blame
There's no one left but me and I'm not here

All the plastic people live for me
But their hearts were made for doom
Everyone around thinks I'm insane
But the path I chose was sore
I can take a million fucking freaks
Blow 'em up and make you pay
All the plastic clowns have taken me
To the moon that wasn't grey

Can you give back to god what brought you here?

Everyone around you suffocates
Think I don't believe in god
Everyone around you thinks I'm insane
But the drugs have made me grey

{^v^}
{07.goodbye cruel world [3:28]}

All my friends are taking over
To make a mess of me
All my friends are broke and ugly
And make a mess of me

Then I saw a river fall from heaven
Rain mistakes on me
Then I saw your mother shoot your father
Killed herself the same

All my friends have made a cyclone
To make a mess of me
All my friends have broken silence
To make a mess of me
All my friends are taking over
To make a mess of me
All my friends are broke and ugly
And make a mess of me

Blow it all away
Get the gun out
Load the bullets
Shot that fucker in his head

{^v^}
{08.serial killer [5:35]}

Everyone around you suffocates
I can see your madness rip your brain
I can see the bodies on the wall
All the nightmare dreams I can't recall come

I can see the future boiling up around
I'm so afraid
Someone told you make her half a girl
She used to be alive
I can feel the fire crawling on you
Like you’re Superman
But I would pay to watch you burn

All the love you have disintegrates
All that saved you was your apathy
I can see the knives hung on the wall
All the nightmare dreams I can't recall come

Take back this pain you gave

All the love you have disintegrates
All that saved you was your apathy
I remember all the knives you hung
And all the bodies stretched across the wall
All the drama that they made me think
Couldn't be real
Must be fake
I can see the bodies on the wall
All the nightmare dreams I can't recall come

{^v^}
{09.superstar [4:17]}

I don't listen much to reason
Everybody wants to be here
Santa Claus has lost his mind
Easter Bunny's not a rabbit
Tricks are made for kids
Until pseudo-psycho man tells you to fly
Everyone just ran around
Just playing games with anti-socials
No one ever taught you how to fall
I don't listen much to reason
Everyone's a fucking psycho
No one ever taught you how to call

Won’t you take it off and shoot it up
And show me how you used to fly
Take it off and shoot up
And show me how you used to die
Won’t you take it off and shoot it up
And show me how you used to fly
Everyone around you superstar
They can motherfucking die

I don't give a damn about what you think
All the pseudo-psycho hippies always stink
No one else here brought up questions till you flied
No one gave you any sex until you cried
Trying to be a superstar

Superstars lie

{^v^}
{10.the switch [4:07]}

I can take another bet
She loves to fuck
I must confess
Everything is so abused
The little things she puts me through
I can't stand to be insane
You little fuck you're so arranged
All the pain is nearly dead
That's in my thoughts
And in your bed

I can't change
Well guess who came to kill the love here?
Every time you fuck
Guess who came to kill the love here?

Can't kill the monsters

{^v^}
{11.makes her sick [3:59]}

All the world is just a fake
Made to drop you when you fall
Everyone gets blown away
And everyone is gone
I can see the only tie
Links you back to where you came
No one showed you any hope
And everyone loves

Well it makes her sick
Well it makes her throw up

How the needle loves to sing
Scream your name and take you home
Found yourself a brand new love
Made you feel like god
I can see this all the time
Mother told you “Keep it straight.”
No one showed you any hope
And everyone loves

Now the sun has gone away
And all the love you have is gone
Now it's all a big mistake
And you don't feel like god
I can see the only tie
Links you back to where you came
No one showed you any hope
And everyone loves


{^v^}


{13 ways to bleed onstage}

{01.just got wicked [4:01]}

I can taste your innocence
So young and sweet like mother made you
Everything froze in ice
These motherfuckers just got wicked
Well I can't explain this little man
Taking over
Can't explain the way that I feel

Everyone got twisted up
Everyone got behind my back and broke it
'Cause it's my world
Everyone got twisted up
All your friends got behind my back and broke it
'Cause it's my world

One
Two
Three
Here I come with the wicked
Well I can't explain this little man
Taking over
Can't explain the way that I feel

You are the love I never found

I can't explain the way that I feel

{^v^}
{02.she said [4:08]}

I'll be here alone
Bury everything around me
Her destination's unknown
I can't believe how she drowns me

Well I won't deny
It's all the little things she said

All alone
Searched the world until she found me
Her destination's unknown
I can't believe how she drowns me

All this talking
Where's it going?
Take the needle
Rewind the show

{^v^}
{03.no one [3:17]}

Well I can't ever really believe
No one was sent to get me
And I feel like I'm being erased
And no one got left here

I'm all alone
No one was sent to get me
I'm all alone
No one got left here

But I'm fine
No one got left here
Well I'm fine

I can't even breathe when I see
The pictures sent without you
I feel like I've been erased
No one got left here

I'm all alone
No one was sent to get me
I'm all alone
No one got left here

I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
It's so hard now
Just to find you

I'm so sick of this terrible instinct
I can only find you

{^v^}
{04.end of the world [3:04]}

Everyone came around here
Everyone else got sick
And watched the clock ticking slowly
Everyone knew the ending
Opened a bag of tricks
And stumbled over their own

They blew minds away
Sort of crippling
Just like thunder
And it's gone today
I'm so happy
That it's over

Well it's the end of the world
Well it's far away
In a hurricane
Twisting slowly
Now it's gone today
I'm so happy
That it's over

Well it's the end of the world

It's my world
My love
My gun

Well it's the end of the world

{^v^}
{05.confession [3:49]}

Everybody loves stars
Everyone fell into her world
She made me
Where everybody rates love
But I don't care
'Cause it's her world
She made me

You think you're half as good as me?
The only thing you'll ever be
Is just a way for me to bleed on this stage

Everybody loves stars
Everyone fell into her womb
She made here
Where innocence is taken
But I don't care
'Cause it's her world
She made me

You think you're half as good as me?
The only thing you'll ever be
Is just a way for me to bleed on this stage

Now she's old
She's been blessed
Take a bow and confess

She threw it all away
My angel died that day
No one came
No one cared

{^v^}
{06.it’s all good [3:42]}

Take another motherfucking hit of LSD
Let all the love inside the world belong to you
Well I can't understand just why you went away
Too young to feel the pain and bitterness of love
Well I can never understand a motherfucking word you'd ever say
And all the people that you hurt came down on you
And I can't understand just why you went away
I sat and waited for the day you'd come back home

But it was all good
Well it was all good

Take a loaded gun and blow my fantasy away
Turn off the lights and shine the spotlight down on you
Well I can never understand a motherfucking word you'd ever say
And all the people that you hurt came down on you
Well I can't understand just why you went away
I sat and waited for the day you'd come back home

Well it was all good

You were my hope
My gun
My love
My fear
My god it's over
It's all gone
Until the world came crumbling down

But it was all good
It was all good

{^v^}
{07.send in the clowns [4:13]}

They kept on coming down to this place
'Cause I could see it in their eyes
They made the world a fucking disgrace
And everything burned cold
They kept on coming down to this place
'Cause I could see it in their eyes
We took the world and healed the disgrace
Now everything burns fine

I'm talking about the ever-changing winds of fame
I guess it just got cold in here
It comes full circle
No one ever changed our ways
Our little pill killed summer days
I guess it just got cold in here
It comes full circle

Send in the clowns
Well here come the clowns

Send in the clowns

Here come the clowns
Come the clowns
Send them in
Here come the clowns

{^v^}
{08.same drug [3:43]}

I bet you'd never come down from your tower for me
I'll let you take it real slow
While I try to decide
Never would've loved you
Should've left this town
Never would've loved you
But everything got turned around

It's nothing much but the same drug
Nothing much but the same drug
Every day
It's nothing much but the same drug
You threw it away
But I gave love anyway

She didn't come from the same world
See the same things
I can't deny
I bled on stages to get here
Sent screams up to the sky
Never would've loved you
Should've left this town
Never would've loved you
But everything got turned around

She did it all the way
Now she's gone today
I can't sleep without her

It's nothing much but the same drug
Every day

{^v^}
{09.anti-love song [3:10]}

Well I saw the preacher
But I won't be there on Sunday
Everyone came again
Everyone loved her
No one got used to this
These motherfuckers raped me
Everyone came again
And everyone fucked you

It's not over but it's over now

I read the news today
These stuck-up suckers
Raped me
Everyone came again
Everyone loved her
I won't get used to this
These motherfuckers saved me
Everyone came again
And everyone fucked you

Take time away
Go rage my friends
Everyone goes far
Here today
And I can see the change come here

It's not over but it's over now

{^v^}
{10.witch [3:49]}

I never knew
She's gone
She's flown away
Everyone says:
"She's not your kinda girl."
I'm so alone
This girl is flowing fear
Everyone said:
"She fucked up this time."
It's my brand new world today
And it's my brand new world this way

I'll never change
It's wrong
So go away
Everyone said:
"She's not your kinda girl."
I've tasted love
It burns
I'm so afraid
Everyone said:
"She fucked up this time."

I think this fucking witch knows the way
And everything I know

It's my brand new world today
And it's my brand new world this way

It's all mine

{^v^}
{11.sick of man [4:05]}

Gave all the vampires back to god that day
No one got raped here but the pain's still inside
I'll never love you but I've got words to say
No one betrayed here but the memories lie

I said "Don't go away."
Turned off the lights and then you
Said "Please don't follow me."
And you cared

You stole my passion
Burned my everything
They're all the same here
Locked up change deep inside
I'll never love you but I've got words to say
You killed the feeling but the pain's still inside

I said "Don't go away."
Turned off the lights and then you
Said "Please don't follow me."
And you cared

You kept your feelings hidden like a psycho
Burned it all down
Take me with you
Won't you let me go?

So sick of man

{^v^}
{12.outerspace [3:38]}

This is the time
To let them know who's side you're on
Everything's fine
No one got raped here
We had the time
Set up to leave
To go back home
Back to our lives
I'll never let go

I wanna go up to outerspace
No one but me and you

So far away
We may become forgotten
Take off today
And leave this world
We can't complain
Suspended high above you
Nothing's the same
Nothing grows old

I wanna go up to outerspace
No one but me and you

Just trying to get back home

I wanna go home

{^v^}
{13.bleed [3:57]}

I'm feeling crossed
I take it inside
Burn up the pain
My thoughts are strange
Just like the things I used
Just like the tree that fell
I heard it
If art is still inside I feel it

I wanna bleed
Show the world all that I have inside
I wanna scream
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive

Take all these strings they call my veins
Wrap them around every fucking thing
Presence of people not for me
Well I must remain in tune forever
My love is music
I will marry melody

Won't you let me take you for a ride?
You can stop the world
Try to change my mind
Won't you let me show you how it feels?
You can stop the world
But you won't change me
I need music
To set me free
To let me bleed

Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmets on

Ground Control to Major Tom

Commencing countdown

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
Amd the papers want to know who shot you where
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

Though I've passed one-hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
She knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead
There's something very wrong
Can you hear me Major Tom?...
