I gotta get me a gun
Guns make everything right
The right is all we have left
The left is turning us red
I tear out all of my walls
Walls can hold hidden wires
Wires that tap all my thoughts
Thoughts that tell me there is...
Danger, dangerous life, dangerous life...
People are made of stares
Stairs that I cannot climb
I climb back into my hole
The whole world's losing their mind
I can't be seen on the street
How did you find out my name?
I gotta get me a gun
Guns protect me from the...
Danger, dangerous life, dangerous life
I lead a dangerous life

Do you feel a little strange
Strangers often feel that way
Time to make a couple new friends
Tie the knot a couple loose ends
Do you find that everything hurts
The pain is sharp and getting worse
Do you find it hard to relax
Hard to think and keep on track
Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you wanna stay?
Do you feel a little strange
Strangers often feel that way
Now that you've got all that you want
Better hope that all is enough,
Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you wanna stay?

I can't seem to kill myself
I can't seem to get anything done
Can't get anything done
I've got too much time to think
My mind has always got
Something to think about, something to think about
Give me a week another week to get it right Get it working
No time to cheat, cheat complete
I'll get it straight, nothing's working
When I'm asleep I am awake
When I wake up, this is when I start to dream
This is all a dream
I don't want to go outside
Inside's enough to keep me occupied
Gotta keep occupied
No time to cheat, cheat complete
I'll get it right, get it working,
Give me a week another week
I'll get it right, get it working
Get it done tomorrow, get it done today
Even it it takes my life I'll get it done today,
Get it done tomorrow, get it done today,
Even it it takes all year I'll get it done today
Well I can't seem to kill myself
I can't seem to get anything done, can't get anything done
No time to cheat, cheat complete
I'll get it right, get it working,
Give me a week another week I'll get it straight, get it working

I see the world through open eyes and every eye's on me
I see a world years from now, and everyone will pay
I
I have to speak, defend myself, everyone must know
Actions speak for themselves, possession is the law
I
I'll take your life, I'll take your name, I'll never take the blame
I see the world through open eyes and every eye's on me

Hollywood U.S.A. place your dreams and watch them fade away
Marilyn, Baby Jane once they're here, they'll never be the same
We'll give you forever just trade in whatever
Hollywood USA, a place to dream, a place to stay
Hollywood USA, never been a bit like yesterday
Rodeo is a rodeo, the cowgirl says, take the cowboy home
Take him home, take him home
It's all lies in my eyes each time I get fooled by
Hollywood USA, a place of dreams, a place to stay
Hollywood USA never been a bit like yesterday

They're all hanging in museums
Everybody wants to see them, yeah
Modern art and modern artists,
Modern means there is no difference
Maybe I'm Louis Wain
Painting cats and half insane
First there was Marilyn Monroe
Then she was Andy Warhol
People hated Vinnie Van Gogh
Changed his name to Picasso
Maybe I'm the great DaVinci
Or perhaps the Mona Lisa
Maybe I'm George Seurat
Speaking French and painting dots
Everybody wants their fifteen
I just want to be a machine
Dada and MOMA married
Their only child was monetary
Salvador Dali Lama Hari Hari Rama Rama

Evidence (2023 Remaster)

We are the evidence here
This is the light at the end of the tunnel
There are dried flowers and plastic flowers
Telephone numbers and maiden names
It starts with two
And it ends with one
The cycle repeats in well-formed rows
The cycle repeats, repeats, repeats
Your personality, her personality
It's inside of me, it's a part of me
Your personality, it's infected me
Take it away and there's nothing left to be
What is wrong with us
Is what's wrong with our parents
Is what's wrong with our parent's parent's parents
Your personality, her personality
It's inside of me, it's a part of me
Your personality, it's infected me
Take it away and there's nothing left to be
Nothing left but this but this disease
We are the evidence here
I see it in the mirror
There too many g-damn reruns reruns reruns
A mistake one hundred years ago lives inside my mind
Takes apart the images of the past and passes through
The degenerations and generations of the evidence
We are the evidence
We are the evidence of love

She walks on hollow ground
I will echo every step
She walks on open hearts
I will follow every step
Two eyes overflowing
Two eyes overwhelming
The way that I feel
She weaves a modern life
What is old now is new
She weaves with every thought
Every thought I never had
Two eyes overflowing
Two eyes overwhelming
The way that I feel
No one receiving, no way of sleeping nightly
No one receiving, no one is dreaming nightly
She talks without a sound
And now she's gone
Two eyes overflowing
Two eyes overwhelming
The way that I feel

10,000 Pieces

Every image she's ever had
Every moment she's ever lived
We were watching
The room is filled with all her thoughts
They stain the carpet, they stain the walls
I saw everything
10,000 pieces of her life
There are no edits, there are no cuts
The film is short, just one shot
And we were watching
Every frame flickers past
Every frame holds the past
And I was watching
10,000 pieces of her life
10,000 people in her life
Room is filled with all her thoughts
They stain the carpet and stain the walls
And I was watching
Every image she ever had
Every moment she ever lived
And we were watching

I've got a question
I've got a question in my mind
I have a question
I have a question in my mind
I have a function
I have one function in my life
I have a function
What is the function of my life?
Black light, white noise
I've got a question
I've got a function in my life
I have a function
My function is the question here
Black light, white noise
He sits and stares, he looks at me
He touches off the light of death

My hair gets longer every day I don't talk to you
Reading books won't help, I don't know what to do
I tie my ties so much tighter since I saw you
I polished up my teeth, I polished up my shoes
It's just a matter of time before you notice me
It's just a matter of time before you fall in love with me
The shadows stretch out of shape as each day goes by
The shadow of my self gets longer in time
I got a story that I want to tell to you
I keep on talking but nothing comes out
It's just a matter of time before you talk to me
It's just a matter of time before you notice me
We'll be in love, the stars above, the birds will sing, I'll give you a ring
My hair gets longer every day I won't talk to you
Reading books won't help, I don't know what to do
I got a story that I want to tell to you
I keep on talking but nothing comes out
It's just a matter of time before you notice me
It's just a matter of time before you talk to me

Detective Tracy is the dragon lady's man
Detective Tracy plays catch you if I can
He knows when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake
He knows when you're playing, when you're playing with yourself
Detective Tracy's got the big red book
Detective Tracy only needs 10 rules
He thinks he is better but he sleeps as late as me
He is always praying, always praying with himself
Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost,
God save all your souls from this unholy coax
Detective Tracy's checking all the doors
Detective Tracy, he is a holy war
He is always checking, checking on the given law
Someday I hope to catch him, catch him praying to himself
Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost
I will testify, there is truth in fire.

Waiting for a solution, I could wait for 20 years
Sitting here in solution for just another year
I don't know if I can take it anymore
I don't know why I say that anymore
Days are years and the years seem to turn into a day
Have another, stay a while, have a drink and have a stay
Hit me once, hit me once and twice again
Hit me once, hit me until I feel...
I heard someone say, this is my heartache
I heard someone speak, yeah this is my life
Simple thoughts are easy, what you want is what you need
Problem is these thoughts are never the thoughts that you need
Hit me once, hit me once and twice again
Hit me once, hit me until I feel a
Little better, little bitter, little better
I heard someone say, this is my heartache
I heard someone speak, yeah this is my life
Life, death, life, death.

Jeremy Straight is starting to hate the system he supports
His support systems are breaking down to take a natural course
His security in insecurity has played out on the market
He has sold off all his assets and failed to make a profit
Ride the train, Meet the bus, Jeremy
Ride the secretary, meet the boss
Jeremy Straight is starting to hate the life that he was led to lead
He has come to realize he doesn't care about anything
He wants to heal all the broken hearts he's made to bleed
But he doesn't have the time to operate and succeed

Drifting through this summer day, looking for a place to stay
That's within the proper range for the way I feel today
Feeling sorry for myself doesn't work, it used to help
Am I better, it's hard to tell
I wish I knew how I felt
Claiming that my life is fine is just another empty line
I seem to say it all the time still I'm not convinced in my mind,
For 2 years I've tried to hide all the fears I've had inside
So shot up I almost cry when faced with life, my lie
I'm finally walking in the sun waiting for the rain to come
There was no reason for me to run, waiting for the rain to come to come.

Do you feel a little strange
Strangers often feel that way
Time to make a couple new friends
Tie the knot a couple loose ends
Do you find that everything hurts
The pain is sharp and getting worse
Do you find it hard to relax
Hard to think and keep on track
Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you wanna stay?
Do you feel a little strange
Strangers often feel that way
Now that you've got all that you want
Better hope that all is enough,
Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you wanna stay?
