On Broadway

They say that
Neon lights are bright on broadway
They say theres always magic in the air
But when youre walking down the street
And you aint had enough to eat
The city all lights up and youre nowhere
They say
The girls are something else on broadway
Looking at them just gives me the blues
cause howre you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime wont even shine your shoes
They say that
Love wont last too long on broadway
Now catch a greyhound bus for home
They all say
I bet theyre wrong, I know they are
cause I can play this here guitar
And I wont quit till Im a star
On broadway

Zero Bars (Mr. Smith)

my name is Smith
your silence is my trade
my name is Smith
here in this bar you fade out
time heals nothing
it merely rearranges our memory
in zero bars
even time no longer seems willing to try
please look around
empty faces that never quite die
don't be surprised
their bodies move by habit, look in their eyes
nothing is real
if you break down and cry they won't even stare
nobody feels
it's far too risky to admit that you care
my name is Smith
your silence is my trade
my name is Smith
here in this bar you fade out

The Sleeproom

This is a story
And this is a song
Every little thing that they
Tell you is wrong
This isnt evil
This is a sound
And this conversation is possibly down.
I know that Im not all that pretty
I know that I dont sound like I should
I dont even belong to fashion.
This is a secret
And all this is true
Everything I tell you belongs here with you
Im not a hero
Im no good
I dont belong here but my heroes should
And Im moving
And Im lying down
And Im losing
And Im losing.

Praying To The Aliens

Slowly the thought
There is no one to replace
Came into view
And he began to cry
Now only boys
That love only boys
The perfect picture
Of a boy/girl age
Im praying to the aliens
Im praying to the aliens
Grey overcoat
And he could be anyone
A random poll check
Do you ever think of women?
They broke him down
Into a torn old queen
Living somewhere
Between dead and dying
Im praying to the aliens
Im praying to the aliens

Creatures

I need it
The sex skin habit
You could just crawl out
And forget Im here
I need it
Love and something
Id just as soon forget
So keep it out the papers
I need it
the sex musicians
Ill show you something
While the boys beat time
I need it
And shes still waiting
We like to wake up
In a strange bed romance
One more time for me
You are the young things fed on garbage and lies
Please one more time for me
You are the young things fed on garbage and lies

I Can't Breathe

I'm scared to sleep, I scared to dream
I'm scared to wake up in case I scream
I'm scared to whisper one word.
That's all it needs
I hear it breathe, I hear it sigh
I hear it laughing when something dies
I hear it calling
But I'm too scared to move
I'm so scared
I can't breathe
I'm so scared
I just can't breathe
I'm scared to look, I'm scared to see
I'm scared of mirrors in case it's me.
I'm scared of memories
But now thats all I have
So I can't leave and no-one comes
So no-one noticed that I've come undone.
I'd hide in shadows
But the shadows talk to me.

Like A Refugee (I Won't Cry) (Pandemonium Mix)

Treated like a refugee
Never seems to be a place for me
In my mind there is a scene I see
My house is burning
No-one returning
To a land once free.
Dreaming like a deportee
Cast away upon the open sea
No hand of friendship for the likes of me.
I feel the thunder
Im going under
And I cant get free.
If there is a heaven
I dont want to hang around this hell.
I could be an angel
Let God (slip? )out of heaven back to hell.
And I say
I wont cry, no more tears
I wont cry, no more tears
Carry me away from here

A Child With The Ghost

Nothing I can say
Can make your picture talk
I feel so tired and
Nothing I can do
Will make your picture move
I feel so helpless but
I can feel
A child with the ghost here
You let your heart slip away
If I had one wish
Id wish to talk with you
I have some questions
Things only you could know
If I had one wish
Id wish to talk with you
Nothing you can feel
Can feel as cold as this
Ill sing this song and
Ill say goodbye forever
I wonder

The Need

Get the need
Get it.
Im in the movies.
Hello young thing
Im an old film star
Maybe youve seen my picture.
I need it
Like an old newsreel
Im just fading away.
Bang bang dear
Ive got the needles
And Ive got the need
If youd be so kind.
Come on and feel the need in me
Come on and feel the need.
Feel it!
Hello young thing
Ive got reverse instructions
In the back of my car.
I need it
