letra de Kitty Litter
The way you're dancing

Makes me come alive

Makes me shiver and perspire

Your surreptitious glancing

The way you crack a smile

Nearly start a fire

So move closer

I wanna feel your touch

So come over

Come on

[Chorus:]

Love of mine

This fortress in our heart

Feels much weaker

Now we're apart

Love of mine

This fortress in our heart

Comes crashing down

I need a change of skin

I need a change

The way you're moving

Hips from side to side

Makes you all that I desire

Bathsheba of my choosing and I'm so unsatisfied

You're all that I require

So move closer

Gotta feel your touch

So come over

Come on

So move closer

Gotta feel your touch

So come over

Come on

[Chorus]

I need a change of skin

I need a change

I need a change, I need a change of skin [x4]

[Chorus]

letra de Ashtray Heart
Cenicero, mi cenicero
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X2]

You are the birth and you are waste
You are the one who took my place
You took a jump into forever
A leap of faith I could not take

And it was
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X4]

You were alone before we met
No more folorn than one could get
How could we know
We had found treasure
How sinister and how correct

And it was
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X4]

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X4]

I tore the muscle from your chest
Used it to stub out cigarettes
I listened to your screams of pleasure
And I watch the bed sheets turn blood red

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X4]

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X4]

letra de Battle for the Sun
I, I, I, will battle for the sun, sun, sun.
And I, I, I wont stop until I'm done, done, done.
You, you, you are getting in the way, way, way.
And I, I, I have nothing left to say, say, say.

I, I, I, I, I will brush off all the dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt.
And I, I, I, I, I will pretend it didn't hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt.
You, you, you, you, you, are a black and heavy weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight.
And I, I, I, I, I, will not participate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate.

Dream brother, my killer, my lover.
Dream brother, my killer, my lover.

I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun, sun.
Cause I, I, I, have stared down the barrel of a gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun.
No fun, you, you, you, you, you are a cheap and nasty fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.
And I, I, I, I, I am the bones you couldnt break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break!

Dream brother, my killer, my lover.
Dream brother, my killer, my lover.

[Instrumental Solo]

Dream brother, my killer, my lover.
Dream brother, my killer, my lover.
Dream brother, my killer, my lover.
Dream brother, my killer, my lover.

I, I, I will battle for the sun.

letra de Devil in the Details
I've been wasting all my time

With the devil in the details

I got no energy to fight

He is a fucking pantomime

That devil in the details

And he is fixing up to take a bite

I don't see the point in try

I've got the devil in the details

He's gonna teach me wrong from right

That fucking pantomime the devil in the details

I'm gonna dance with him tonight

All of my wrongs, and all my wicked ways

Will come back to haunt me, come what may

He wrote all the songs I hope to write someday

Looks like the devil is here to stay

Let me take you for a ride with the

Devil in the details

We'll kiss and tremble with the delight

Everything is fine with the devil in the details

We're gonna dance with Him tonight

All of my wrongs, and all my wicked ways

Will come back to haunt me, come what may

For all of the songs I hope to write someday

Looks like the devil is here to stay

Looks like the devil is here to stay

Looks like the devil is here to stay

All of my wrongs, and all my wicked ways

Will come back to haunt me, come what may

For all of the songs I hope to write someday

Looks like the devil is here to stay

Looks like the devil is here to stay

Looks like the devil is here to stay

I've been wasting all my time

With the devil and the details

letra de Bright Lights
Cast your mind back to the days,

When I pretend' I was OK.

I had so very much to say,

About my crazy livin'.

Now that I've stared into the void,

So many people, I've annoyed.

I have to find a middle way,

A better way of givin'.

So I haven't given up,

But all my choices, my good luck...

Appear to go and get me stuck,

In an open prison.

Now I am tryin' to break free,

Be in a state of empathy.

Find the true and inner me,

Eradicate this schism.

No-one can take it away from me,

And no-one can tear it apart.

'Cause a heart that hurts,

Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,

Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,

Is a heart that works.

No-one can take it away from me,

No-one can tear it apart.

It may be elaborate fantasy,

But it's the perfect place to start.

'Cause a heart that hurts,

Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,

Is a heart that... works.

letra de Speak in Tongues
Kitty came back home from on the island
But kitty came on home without a name
She and me's a history for violence
So I long, I burn to touch her just the same

So we both can both can speak in tongues
So we both can both can speak in tongues

Every single sense in me is heightened
There's nothing left inside to rearrange
Like a slave to history and science
I long, I burn to touch you just the same

So we both can both can speak in tongues
So we both can both can speak in tongues

Until the universe is done
And the course of time has run
So we both can both can speak in tongues

Don't let them get their way
Don't let them have their way
You're beautiful and so blas©
So please don't let them have their way
Don't fall back into the decay
There is no law we must obey
So please don't let them have their way
Don't give in to yesterday

We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
The Never-Ending WhyVer letra 3:23

letra de The Never-Ending Why
The atom will implode

The fragile kingdom fold

The tremor becomes a quake

And there's a body in the lake

And as the two of us rebel

Damn you all to hell

I wonder if that's all there is

Time will help you through

But it doesn't have the time

To give you all the answers to the never-ending why

The sound of silence grows

As the spider'' kiss is laid

The tumor becomes malign

But the kids are doing fine

And as the two of us rebel

And damn you all to hell

I wonder if that's all there is

Time will help you through

But it doesn't have the time

To give you all the answers to the never-ending why
JulienVer letra 4:43

letra de Julien
The payback is here

Take a look, it's all around you

You thought you'd never shed a tear

So this must astound you, and must confound you

Buy a ticket for the train

Hide in a suitcase if you have to

This ain't no singing in the rain

This is a twister that will destroy you

You can run but you can't hide

Because no one here gets out alive

Find a friend in whom you can confide

Julien, you're a slow motion suicide

Fallen angels in the night

And everyone is barred from Heaven

Just one more hit to make it right

But everyone turns into seven

Now that it's snowing in your brain

Even ten will not placate you

This ain't no killer for the pain

This avalanche will suffocate you

You can run but you can't hide

Because no one here gets out alive

Find a friend on whom you can rely

Julien, you're being taken for a ride

You can run but you can't hide

Because no one here gets out alive

Find a friend in whom you can confide

Julien, you're a slow motion suicide

Slow-motion suicide [x9]

letra de Breathe Underwater
Here comes another fall from grace

I'm always falling on my face

This attitude that I embrace

For the love

I'm trying to replace

I try to kill the song

'Cause the melody's all wrong

And there's a fever coming on

It's hard to reconcile

What I've become

With a wounded child

Hiding deep inside

Breath underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see another dawn

Coming up for the air

Sick of the slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long

Take my ego for a ride

'Cause there's nobody by my side

It's getting hard to justify

And it won't be long 'till I collide

My weakness is laid bare

As people stop and stare

But it's the last time I swear

It's hard to reconcile

What I've become

With a wounded child

Hiding deep inside

Breath underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see another dawn

Coming up for air

Sick of the slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long

Start breathing

Start breathing

Start breathing

Start breathing

Breath underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see another dawn

Coming up for air

Sick of the slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long

I'm coming

I'm coming

I'm coming

Coming up for air

Coming up for air

Coming up for air

letra de Come Undone
You don't know how you're coming across
You don't know what you're coming across
You don't know who you're coming across
You don't know how you're coming across
So you come undone

You don't know how you're coming across
Acting like you don't give a toss
Walking around like you're on some kind of cross
And it's a shame on you, the irony's lost
When you come undone
You come undone
You know, you come undone
You know, you know, you know

You don't know how you're coming across
You don't know how you're coming across
And I don't think that you're aware of the cost

So you come undone
You come
You come undone
You know, you know, you know
Kings of MedicineVer letra 4:13

letra de Kings of Medicine
They're picking up pieces of me
While they're picking up pieces of you
In a bag you will be before the day is over
While you're looking for somewhere to be
Or looking for someone to do
Stupid me to believe that I could trust in stupid you
And on the back of my hand
Were directions I could understand
Now that old buzzer Johnny Walker
Has gone and ruined all our plans
Our best mate plans

Don't leave me here to pass through time
Without a map or road sign
Don't leave me here, my guiding light
'Cause I, I wouldn't know where to begin
I ask the kings of medicine

They're picking up pieces of me
While they're picking up pieces of you
Lying on ice you will be before the day is over
So case in point, baby
That you never thought it through
Stupid me to believe I could depend on stupid you
And on the tip of my tongue
Were words that always came out wrong
'Cause they were drowned in southern comfort
Left to dry out in the sun, the noon day sun

Don't leave me here to pass through time
Without a map or road sign
Don't leave me here, my guiding light
'Cause I, I wouldn't know where to begin
I ask the kings of medicine
But it seems they've lost their power
Now all I'm left with is the hour

Don't leave me here to pass through time
Without a map or road sign
Don't leave me here, my guiding light
'Cause I, I wouldn't know where to begin
I ask the kings of medicine
But it seems they've lost their power
Now all I'm left with is the hour

Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here, oh no
I wouldn't know where to begin
