Born To Die In Berlin


Intoxicated by the orchids abandoned in the garden

Demanding morphine curse my soul is burning

Stranded in the sweet wonderings

breathing the pale moon silver

Torn painted lips tasting the last drops of life



Sometimes I feel like screaming

Sometimes I feel I just can't win

Sometimes I feelin' my soul is as restless as the wind

Maybe I was born to die in Berlin



I sprinkled cocaine on the floor

when no one was watching

I closed my eyes and I let myself sleep

Creeps and dirty bastards,

demons waitin' by my bed

There's no choice or difference,

no one seems to notice



Sometimes I feel like screamin

Sometimes I feel I just can't win

Sometimes I feelin' my soul is as restless as the wind

Maybe I was born to die in Berlin



[Third verse in German]



Sometimes I feel like screamin

Sometimes I feel I just can't win

Sometimes I feelin' my soul is as restless as the wind

Maybe I was born to die in Berlin

Maybe I was born to die in Berlin

Have A Nice Day



I heard it from the gangster

I heard it from the priest

I heard it from my best friend

Way down in the middle east



Have a nice day. That's all I hear every day

Have a nice day. I don't believe a word you say



I heard from the landlord

When he kicked me out

I heard it from the spirits

As they possessed my house



Have a nice day. That's all I hear every day

Have a nice day. I don't believe a word you say



When they look me in the eye I turn the other way

It's just a trained reaction something they gotta say... yeah



I heard it from New Zealand

I heard it at the club

I heard it from my doctor

Before he pulled the plug



Have a nice day. That's all I hear every day

Have a nice day. I don't believe a word you say

Have a nice day. That's all I hear every day

Have a nice day. I don't believe a word you say

Makin' Monsters For My Friends



Everybody said so man you could see it on T.V.

They stood there ashamed with nowhere to go

Nobody wants them now the kids are alright

Every day is a holiday and pushin' people around



I'm making monsters for my friends

I'm making monsters for my friends



Someone caught one I could see so myself

I had to call 254 so they wouldn't blame me

We wanted to know how much trouble there was

When we asked our daddy he said it's just because



I'm making monsters for my friends

I'm making monsters for my friends



I don't wanna open a can of worms and

I don't want any Spagetti-Os

And I could always tell when

someone is holding a grudge



I'm making monsters for my friends

I'm making monsters for my friends

I'm making monsters for my friends

I'm making monsters for my friends

Scattergun



Smooth bore, scattergun, you are the only one

To cover me when I sleep, cover me in my dreams

carry a smooth bore

Scattergun, steal from me there'll be no time to run

I got the bead on you, she fires true

Take what you want and I'll do what I have to do

Smooth bore, scattergun, scattergun, scattergun



Triple-O bucks the only shot for me

Cut any man right off at the knees

Don't need to bother the police,

I've got my Mossberg 590



Smooth bore, scattergun, you are the only one

To cover me when I sleep,

cover me in my dreams carry a smooth bore

Scattergun, steal from me there'll be no time to run

I got the bead on you, she fires true

Take what you want and I'll do what I have to do

Smooth bore, scattergun, scattergun, scattergun



Smooth bore, scattergun, you are the only one

To cover me when I sleep,

cover me in my dreams carry a smooth bore

Scattergun, scattergun, scattergun

She Talks To Rainbows



She's a little lost girl in her own little world

She looks so happy but she seems so sad

ah ah oh yea oh oh oh yea

She's a little lost girl in her own little world

I'd like to help her I'd like to try

ah ah oh yea oh oh oh yea



She talks to birds she talks to angels

she talks to trees she talks to bees

She don't talk to me

Talks to the rainbows and to the seas

she talks to the trees

She don't talk to me

Don't talk to me



You know she drives me outta my mind

You know she drives me outta my head



She talks to birds ...



She's a little lost girl in her own little world

She looks so happy but she seems so sad

Take The Pain Away



I went out today for a walk in the rain

I was so sad and blue I could feel any pain

I was worried about everything my head began to howl

I am running away from myself there's

too many demons around here now



Everybody I don't know what to say

I wish I could take the pain away

Everybody I don't know what to say

I wish I could take the pain away



But that can't happen and everybody knows it's true

And if you have to know I'll never understand you

So if you have to go then you'd better go now

Go off somewhere safe I hope you will somehow



Everybody I don't know what to say

I wish I could take the pain away

Everybody I don't know what to say

I wish I could take the pain away



Everybody I don't know what to say

I wish I could take the pain away

Everybody I don't know what to say

I wish I could take the pain away

I Don't Want To Grow Up



When I'm lyin' in my bed at night

I don't wanna grow up

Nothing ever seems to turn out right

I don't wanna grow up



How do you move in a world of fog that's

always changing things

Makes wish that I could be a dog



When I see the price that you pay

I don't wanna grow up

I don't ever want to be that way

I don't wanna grow up



Seems that folks turn into things

that they never want

The only thing to live for is today...



I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set

I don't wanna grow up

Open up the medicine chest

I don't wanna grow up



I don't wanna have to shout it out

I don't want my hair to fall out

I don't wanna be filled with doubt

I don't wanna be a good boy scout

I don't wanna have to learn to count

I don't wanna have the biggest amount

I don't wanna grow up



Well when I see my parents fight

I don't wanna grow up

They all go out and drinkin' all night

I don't wanna grow up



I'd rather stay here in my room

Nothin' out there but sad and gloom

I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on

grand street

When I see the 5 o'clock news

I don't wanna grow up

Comb their hair and shine their shoes

I don't wanna grow up



Stay around in my old hometown

I don't wanna put no money down

I don't wanna get a big old loan

Work them fingers to the bone

I don't wanna float on a broom

Fall in love, get married then boom

How the hell did it get here so soon



I don't wanna grow up

Spiderman



Spiderman, Spiderman Does whatever a spider can

Spins a web any size Catches thieves just like flies

Look out, here comes the Spiderman



Is he strong? Listen Bud He's got radioactive blood

Can he swing from a thread ? Take a look overhead

Hey, there! There goes the Spiderman



In the chill of the night At the scene of a crime

Like a streak of light He arrives just in time



Spiderman, Spiderman Friendly neighborhood, Spiderman

Wealth and fame, he ignores Action is his reward

Look out, here comes the Spiderman



Spiderman, Spiderman Friendly neighborhood, Spiderman

Wealth and fame, he ignores Action is his reward

To him, life's a great big bang up Whenever there's a hang up

You'll find the Spiderman!

Gonna kill and destroy

I'm not an animal boy

Why don't they understand

I'm not an ape man



Don't have brain damage

I'm not an a wild savage

Don't push me around

Don't bring my head down



I'm not an imbecile

Don't treat me like an animal

I'm not a creature in the zoo

Don't tell me what to do



You don't know what it's like

You don't know how i feel

I don't have a monkey's brain

You can't lock me in a cage

This ain't the Stone Age

Apeman Hop



He's go so many problems

You can count them one by one

He's a filthy, stupid apeman

He never has any fun

He lives in the jungle in a cave by a hill

Plays an old loud drum

He's primitive, barely human



Apeman hop, apeman hop



Paint the face of a demon, glowing by the fire light

Hoppin' like an elephant

Thunderin' like me tonight

He's the world's worst recycler

The iceman comes a lot

He's the devil's apprentice

He's a prehistoric man



Apeman hop, apeman hop



At night he's gonna sacrifice his beloved apeman girl

Tie her to the alter, pull out her heart and eat her flesh



Apeman hop, apeman hop, apeman hop, apeman hop

Apeman

Something To Believe In



I wish I was someone else

I'm confused, I'm afraid, I hate the loneliness

And there's nowhere to run to

Nothing makes any sense, but I still try my hardest



Take my hand

Please help me man

'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in

And I don't know where to start

And I don't know where to begin, to begin



If I was stupid or naive

Trying to achieve what they all call contentness

If people weren't such dicks and I never made mistakes

Then I could find forgiveness



Take my hand

Please help me man

'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in

And I don't know where to start

And I don't know where to begin, oh no



I can't be someone else

I don't feel that it's hopeless

I don't feel that I'm useless



I can't throw it all away

I need some courage to find my weakness

And with your love, I know with all my heart I can win



'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in

And I just need something to believe in

I'm looking for something to believe in

And I just need something to believe in

If you think you can, well come on man

I was a Green Beret in Vietnam

No more of your fairy stories

'Cause I got my other worries



53rd and 3rd Standing on the street

53rd and 3rd I'm tryin' to turn a trick

53rd and 3rd You're the one they never pick

53rd and 3rd Don't it make you feel sick?



Then I took out my razor blade

Then I did what God forbade

Now the cops are after me

But I proved that I'm no sissy.

Wondering what I'm doing tonight
I've been in the closet and feel all right


Ran out of Carbona Mom threw out the glue

Ran out of paint and roach spray too
It's TV's fault why I am this way


Mom and pop wanna put me away
From the early morning movie to the late late show

After it's over nowhere to go
And I'm not sorry for the things I do


My brain is stuck from shooting glue
I'm not sorry for the things I do
