Temptation waits

I'll tell you something
I am a wolf, but
I like to wear sheep's clothing

I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I'm waiting for my moment

you come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
and there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before

I'll tell you something
I am a demon -
some say my biggest weakness

I have my reasons
call it my defense
be careful what you're wishing

you come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
and there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before

you are a secret
a new possession
I like to keep you guessing

you come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
and there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before

when I'm not sure what I'm living for
(when I'm not sure who I am)
when I'm not sure what I'm looking for
(when I'm not sure who I am)
when I'm not sure what I'm living for
(when I'm not sure who I am)
when I'm not sure what I'm looking for
(when I'm not sure who I am)

when I'm not sure what I'm living for
when I'm not sure what I'm looking for
when I'm not sure what I'm living for

I think I'm paranoid

you can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove

I think I'm paranoid
and complicated
I think I'm paranoid
manipulate it

bend me, break me
anyway you need me
all I want is you
bend me, break me
breaking down is easy
all I want is you

I fall down just to give you a thrill
prop me up with another pill
if I should fail, if I should fold
I nailed my faith to the sticking pole

I think I'm paranoid
manipulate it
I think I'm paranoid
and complicated

bend me, break me
anyway you need me
all I want is you
bend me, break me
breaking down is easy
all I want is you

(I think I'm paranoid)
(I think I'm paranoid)

bend me, break me
anyway you need me
all I want is you
bend me, break me
breaking down is easy
all I want is you

steal me, deal me
anyway you heal me
maim me, tame me
you can never change me

love me, like me come
ahead and fight me
please me, tease me
go ahead and leave me

bend me, break me
anyway you need me
as long as I want is you
baby, it's alright

bend me, break me
anyway you need me
as long as I want is you
baby, it's alright

When I grow up

la la la, la la la la la la...

cut my tongue out
I've been caught out
like a giant juggernaut

happy hours
golden showers
on a cruise to freak you out

we could fly a
helicopter
nothing left to talk about

entertain you
celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you

when I grow up
I'll be stable
when I grow up
I'll turn the tables

trying hard to
fit among you
floating out to wonderland

unprotected
God, I'm pregnant
damn the consequences

when I grow up
I'll be stable
when I grow up
I'll turn the tables

la la la, la la la la la la...

blood and blisters
on my fingers
chaos rules when we're apart

watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gentle
when I grow up
I'll be stable
when I grow up
I'll turn the tables

when I grow up
when I grow up
when I grow up
I'll turn the tables

la la la, la la la la la la...

don't take offense
can I make amends
rip it all to shreds and let it go

don't take offense
can I make amends
rip it all to shreds and let it go

rip it all to shreds and let it go
rip it all to shreds and let it go
rip it all to shreds and let it go

Medication

I don't need an education
I learnt all I need from you
they got me on some medication
my point of balance was askew
it keeps my temperature from rising
my blood is pumping through my veins

somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
nobody gives a damn about me
or anybody else

I wear myself out in the morning
you're asleep when I get home
please don't call me self defending
you know it cuts me to the bone
though it's really not surprising
I hold a force I can't contain

somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
nobody gives a damn about me
or anybody else

and still you call me co-dependent
somehow you lay the blame on me
and still you call me co-dependent
somehow you lay the blame on me

somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
I've got to make a point these days
to extricate myself

somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
nobody gives a damn about me
or anybody else

and still you call me co-dependent
somehow you lay the blame on me
and still you call me co-dependent
somehow you lay the blame on me

somehow you lay the blame on me
somehow you lay the blame on me

Special

I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
there was nothing that I wouldn't do
to keep myself around and close to you

do you have an opinion?
a mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
but I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I...
I...

do you have an opinion?
a mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
I knew that I'd lose you
now you're here and begging for a chance
but there's no way in hell I'd take you back

do you have an opinion?
a mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
but I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new

we were the talk of the town
we were the talk of the town
we were the talk of the town
we were the talk of the town

I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special

Hammering in my head

I'm stressed but you're freestyle
I'm overworked but I'm undersexed
I must be made of concrete
I signed my name across your chest

give out the same old answers
I trot them out for the relatives
company tried and tested
I use the ones that I love the best

like an animal
you're moving over me
like an animal
you're moving over me

when did I get perverted
I can't remember your name
I'm growing introverted
you touch my hand, but it's not the same

this was so unexpected
I never thought I'd get caught
play boomerang with your demons
shoot to kill and you'll pop them off
(bang, bang)

like an animal
you're moving over me
like an animal
you're moving over me

you should be sleeping, my love
tell me what you're dreaming of
you should be sleeping, my love
tell me what you're dreaming of

you should be sleeping, my love
tell me what you're dreaming of
you should be sleeping, my love
tell me what you're dreaming of

I knew you were mine for the taking
I knew you were mine for the taking
I knew you were mine for the taking
when I walked in the room

I knew you were mine for the taking
I knew you were mine for the taking
your eyes light up
when I walked in the room

a hammering in my head don't stop
in the bullet train from Tokyo
to Los Angeles
leaving you behind

a flash in the pan
a storm in a teacup
a needle in a haystack
a prize for the winning
a dead for the raising
a catch for the chasing
a jewel for the choosing
a man for the making
in this blistering heat

sweat it all out
sweat it all out
your bedroom eyes and your baby pouts
sweat it all out
and our electric storms and our shifting sands
our candy jars and our sticky hands

sweat it all out
sweat it all out
sweat it all out
sweat it all out
sweat it all out
sweat it all out

don't forget what I wrote you then
and don't forget what I told you then
and don't forget that I meant it when
and don't forget your ventolin

so, a hammering in my head don't stop
in the bullet train from Tokyo
to Los Angeles

Push it

I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
we can try to talk it over
if you say you'll help me out

don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
no need to fight
don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
we'll be alright

this is the noise that keeps me awake
my head explodes and my body aches

push it
make the beats go harder
pu-pu-pu-push it
make the beats go harder

I'm sorry that I hurt you
please don't ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine

don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
don't be uptight
don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
we'll stay up all night

this is the noise that keeps me awake
my head explodes and my body aches

push it
make the beats go harder
pu-pu-pu-push it
make the beats go harder
come on push it you can do it
come on prove it nothing to it
come on use it let's get through it
come on push it you can do it

don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
don't be uptight
don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
we'll stay up all night

this is the noise that keeps me awake
my head explodes and my body aches

push it
make the beats go harder
push it
(this is the noise that keeps me awake)
make the beats go harder
(my head explodes and my body aches)
push it
make the beats go harder
push it
(this is the noise that keeps me awake)
make the beats go harder
(my head explodes and my body aches)

don't worry baby
we'll be alright
don't worry baby
we'll be alright

push it
push it
push it
push it
push it

The trick is to keep breathing

she's not the kind of girl
who likes to tell the world
about the way she feels
about herself

she takes a little time
in making up her mind
she doesn't want to fight
against the tide

lately
I'm not the only one
I say
never trust anyone

always the one
who has to drag her down
maybe you'll get what you want
this time around

can't bear to face the truth
so sick he cannot move
and when it hurts he takes it
out on you

lately
I'm not the only one
I say
never trust anyone

always the one
who has to drag her down
maybe you'll get what you want
this time around

the trick is to keep breathing
the trick is to keep breathing

she knows the human heart
and how to read the stars
now everything's about to fall apart

I won't be the one
who's going to let you down
maybe you'll get what you want
this time around

(the trick is to keep breathing)
I won't be the one
who's going to let you down
(the trick is to keep breathing)
maybe you'll get what you want
this time around

the trick is to keep breathing
the trick is to keep breathing
the trick is to keep breathing
the trick is to keep breathing
the trick is to keep breathing
the trick is to keep breathing
the trick is to keep breathing

Dumb

(we can't hear you
there's static, come back
goin' to channel 4
come back
I can hear you a little bit
alright)

I never claimed to be your saviour
I said I had a dirty mouth
stop analyzing my behavior
if you're too dumb to work it out

I've got to keep myself together
you know I hate to disappoint
a masochistic lamb to slaughter
maybe you've missed the point

I'm feeling small
I'm climbing the walls
I don't let it show

now that you know
what you know
I bet you wish
you could let it go
you'll never come
sucking your thumb
better off dumb

(we can't hear you, there's static)

maybe I could write a letter
to help me with my self-esteem
you should get to know me better
no one's ever what they seem

I'm feeling small
I'm climbing the walls
I don't let it show

now that you know
what you know
I bet you wish
you could let it go
you'll never come
sucking your thumb
better off dumb

you still don't know what you think of me
you still don't know what you mean to me
you still don't know what you think of me
you still don't know what you think of me

now that you know
what you know
I bet you wish
you could let it go
you'll never come
sucking your thumb
better off dumb

now that you know
what you know
you're gonna reap
what you sow
nothing will come
sucking your thumb
better of dumb

you still don't know what you think of me
you still don't know what you mean to me
you still don't know what to think of me
you still don't know what you think of me
you still don't know what you think of me
you still don't know what you think of me
you still don't know what you think of me
you still don't know what you think of me
you still don't know what I think of you
you still don't know what you think of me

Sleep together

I got you crawling up a mountain
hanging 'round my neck
I got you twisted 'round my finger
crawling 'round my legs

the emptiness
the craziness
satisfy this hungriness
darling, how would it feel?

if we sleep together
will you like me better?
if we come together
we'll go down forever
if we sleep together
will I like you better?
if we come together
prove it now or never

make me a pretty person
make me feel like I belong
make me hard and make me happy
make me beautiful

the emptiness
the craziness
satisfy this hungriness
darling, how would it feel?

if we sleep together
will you like me better?
if we come together
we'll go down forever
if we sleep together
will I like you better?
if we come together
prove it now or never

if we sleep together
(nothing satisfies me, baby)
if we sleep together
(I'll wear something pretty, baby)

if we sleep together
(give me what I crave now, baby)
if we sleep together
(save the rest for later, baby)

if we sleep together
(you will drive me crazy, baby)
if we sleep together
(I save it all for you, my baby)

if we sleep together
if we sleep together

Wicked ways

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
acted like a lunatic for years
Lord knows I try to be good
I'd keep my promises if only I could
you count your blessings that I can't rely on you

and I tried
and I tried
and I tried
and I tried

clutch your pictures of the Pope
pray to God for love and hope
bring the virgin home for luck
bolt the door to keep it shut

I've done things I never thought I'd do
sure it helps to lose myself in you
a little time I'll be alright
come on Sugar let's go out tonight
forgive your trespasses and all that
we've been through

oh, I tried
and I tried
and I tried
and I tried
and I tried
and I tried
and I tried
and I tried

clutch your pictures of the Pope
pray to God for love and hope
bring the virgin home for luck
bolt the door to keep it shut

that sinking feeling
when you are leaving
all I believe in
walks out my door

I tried hard
to mend my wicked ways
the damage done there's nothing left to save

oh, I tried
and I tried
and I tried

and I tried
and I tried
and I tried
and I tried

clutch your pictures of the Pope
(just like I told you)
pray to God for love and hope
(just like I warned you)
bring the virgin home for luck
(just like I told you)
bolt the door to keep it shut
(just like I warned you)

You look so fine

you look so fine
I want to
break your heart
and give you mine
you're taking me over

it's so insane
you've got me
tethered and chained
I hear your name
and I'm falling over

I'm not like all of the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
that you used to know

you look so fine

knocked down
cried out
been down just to
find out
I'm through
bleeding for you

I'm open wide
I want to
take you home
we'll waste some time
you're the only one for me

you look so fine
I'm like the
desert tonight
leave her behind
if you want to show me

I'm not like all of the other girls
I won't take it like the other girls
I won't fake it like the other girls
that you used to know

you're taking me over
over and over
I'm falling over
over and over

you're taking me over
(drown in me one more time)
over and over
(hide inside me tonight)
I'm falling over
(do what you want to do)
over and over
(just pretend, happy end)

you're taking me over
(let me know let it show)
over and over
(ending with letting go)
I'm falling over
(ending with letting go)
(ending with letting go)
(let's pretend, happy end)
(let's pretend, happy end)
(let's pretend, happy end)
(let's pretend, happy end)
