The Hill (2008): The Doctor -- Princess -- A Cruel Addiction -- Telephone Song -- In Hell -- The Sticks -- The Hill -- Let the Bodies Lie -- Jewel of the Valley -- Last Night I Killed a Man
The Doctor: I was impressionable…at one time, yeah it’s true…I let people trick me of great things I could do…and I dreamed of organ transplants on the poor side of the world…for Pakistani boys and Sri Lankan girls…and my heart swelled up so big from all that righteous pride…but these gutless hypochondriacs, disease spreading whores, fat rich slobs who waste and waste, and assholes with herpes sores…everyone’s an animal to me…from the top of this tower…the view is so nice…but those people below look so much like lice…ungrateful lice…I’m all alone now…except for the fruit flies…in this room, where I reside…and it used to be a mansion, but she took that away…she used to be a sweetheart, but now she is a snake…everyone’s an animal to me
Princess: Princess, you’re a long, long ways from home…Princess, you’re a long, long ways from home…you always got what you wanted, just the way you’d insist…so there was nothing in the world that could prepare you for this, no no no…No n-no n-no n-no n-no n-no n-no n-no n-no…Princess, you’re a long, long ways from home…Princess, you’re a long, long ways from home…Daddy called you Princess, and he always came through…it always kept you happy, but you know it never helped you no no no…No n-no n-no n-no n-no n-no n-no n-no n-no…Princess, you’re a long, long ways from home…Princess, you’re a long, long ways from home…If they don’t get the ransom, they’re gonna dump you in the park…and I’d have a little sympathy if I thought you had a heart
A Cruel Addiction: You’re gonna pay for what you did to me…your evil plans and your evil thoughts…oh, how I wanted to do good things in this world, but you knew I had a weak spot…Oh it’s a cruel, cruel, cruel addiction(x3)…you’re gonna pay for what you did to me…the world outside has no idea of the torture that you’ve come to show…but with the things you left behind that you didn’t destroy, they’re gonna know, they’re gonna know…(chorus)…forgive me God for all the things I’ve done, and the things that I am going to do…and it fills me with regret when I think about all the kind things I never bothered to do…but there’s a man that’s got to be stopped…and I know you know that I can’t explain away the sad, sad fact that I used to be right there by his side…and when it’s all over, all over, oh that’ll be the end of me…but the part of me I loved has been dead for a while, so this is how it’s going to be…(chorus)
Telephone Song: If I had a phone, I’d do nothing at all…yes I would do nothing but wait for your call…and never would it come, but I’d pretend to not know…that is why I don’t have a phone…if I had a gun, I’d hold it all the time…open the chamber, put a single bullet inside…and play a little game of chance, just for the fun…that is why I don’t have a gun…if I had a knife, I’d cut a hole and reach in my chest…still hold my heart in my hands by the time they find me, yes…it’s a tempting way to die…that is why I don’t have a knife
In Hell: You and I, we’re in hell…I know that cause I followed you there…now our skin is cold to the touch, just like our hearts…you never loved, never loved anything…and neither did I, no, never from the start…but as soon as I can win your heart…as soon as I can win your heart…we’ll make our escape
The Sticks: I stocked up on provisions so we’ll never hit the store…you know I love to dream…it’s the only time I’m happy anymore…I’ve got some land in the sticks, sometime I’m gonna take you out there…I’ve got a trailer there, sometime I’m gonna take you out there…tell me you agree that we can’t take much more…this kind of chaos is nothing like we’ve ever seen before…(chorus)…I stocked up on provisions, so we’ll never hit the store…it will be so lonely if you are not with me anymore…(chorus)
The Hill: There’s a place I can go to…where I can lose myself in the feel…where I can surround myself with natural things…breathe air untainted by this evil…I used to love this world…and all that it’s made of…but I have seen a side that was hidden to me…and I don’t know how anyone could stay in love…the woman I love I tried to take her there…but I could not convince her…she looked at me like I had finally lost it…and that’s probably the last I’ll see of her…I did everything I could…but that’s what they all say…I don’t have any kind of strength left…not in any way…curled in the quietest corner…from the absence of love…when the hopeless abandon took over me just like a drug…but there’s a place I can go to…there’s a place I can go to…there’s a place I can go to…there’s a place I can go to
Let the Bodies Lie: Let the Bodies Lie…just for a little while…just long enough to let it all sink in…let the bodies lie…just for a little while…till it gets to be too much to bear…and may the peace last forever when it comes…let the bodies lie…let the heartbreak come…just long enough to get me where I’m not afraid of anything…let the heartbreak come…just long enough to bring back the fire that I lost…and may the peace last forever if it comes…let the heartbreak come
Jewel of the Valley: This was our home…jewel of the valley…we did what we loved…it made us so happy…it made us so happy…but clues could be found…in the streets and the alleys…it got a little strange…in our jewel of the valley…jewel of the valley…I loaded the van…with all I could use…I invited everybody I loved…but they all refused…they all refused…I try so very hard to keep it together…I pulled in the driveway and parked by the trailer…and walked up the hill…from miles and miles away I could see the smoke coming up from our jewel of the valley…jewel of the valley…these flies all break in…through the front door screen…someday they’ll build a city in the holes where my eyes used to be…a jewel of the valley
Last Night I Killed a Man: Last night I killed a man…and walked to the beach…I drew a line in the sand…and walked across…to fill my lungs with the sea…it’s a torture with no end…these things I have to face…and I hope that he gets his revenge on me…so someday once again I can feel a love…
"Sweet Killers" (2005): Sunset (From the Horizons of Hell) -- Every Evil That You Are -- Do Not Hit the Brakes -- A Quiet Night Tonight -- Good Is Not Good Enough -- Surrounded In Flames, Filled With Love -- Premonition -- Consciousness Sets In -- Colors Fade -- Sweet Killers
Sunset (From the Horizons of Hell): I felt the earthworms eat through my eyes...I felt the dirt cave from all six sides...I watched my world fade, so all is well...I watched the sun set from the horizons of hell...and that's where I'm gonna meet you...and I'll bet you never thought this could happen to you...I watched the television, with fascination, feed me lies...learned how to be hollow, handsome and helpless from the people inside...and I know all about you, I know everything now, but I'll never tell... We'll just watch the sunrise, and the snapping necks, and the sunset, from the horizons of hell...(repeat chorus)
Every Evil That You Are: I love you for your lies, the cold in your eyes...I love you for all the ways you took me...You see, I try to survive, to just stay alive, so thanks for letting me know I feel something...I love you for your cold heart, I love you for your cold heart, I love you for your cold heart that heals where I burn... I love you for your lies, I love you for your lies, I love you for your lies and every evil that you are...I swore all those days that I would make you pay for the cruel, cruel way that you led me on...I swore I'd get even but maybe I, maybe I have got it all wrong...(repeat chorus)
Do Not Hit the Brakes: Get inside the car, shut the door, turn the engine, take me with you...Stare at the stars and the moon and hope that it stays like this forever...and if the sign says "dead end," don't listen to it, no, no, do not hit the brakes...Do not hit the brakes...It cannot tell you what to do...Set the cruise, lean the seat back and watch the horizon turn white...stare at the lines on the road and hope that it keeps on going forever...and if the bridge disappears in the water, don't stop, no, do not hit the brakes...Do not hit the brakes...they cannot tell you what to do...Get inside the car, shut the door, turn the engine, take me with you...see the star fall from the sky, don't wish that the sun be the next one to go...cause I worry, babe, I worry that our karma's still weak after all the damage that we did, for all the damage that we did, we'll never see another face again
A Quiet Night Tonight: It's a quiet night, quiet night tonight...out there alone, the stoplights and streetlights shine...they shine in vain, shine in vain tonight...shining alone to the empty midnight sky...it's a quiet night, quiet night tonight...we all know why, all know why, we all know why...it's an empty night, empty night tonight...we all know why, all know why, we all know why...driving alone on an empty city street...my heart is beating loud inside of me...a man is coming very, very near...before I can react, he's already here...(repeat chorus)...the killers, they move on from town to town...and leave no clues of whether or not they're around...it can't be them, but then again, it might...it's a quiet night, quiet night tonight
Good is Not Good Enough: Your love was the greatest thing I've experienced...but my idea of love keeps changing...I'd explain, but I know how it would sound...I know I deserve much less than what you gave me...and you were the nicest one...but nice is not good enough...I should consider myself so lucky...in the coldest world, you kept me almost warm...but I left during the storm, and I stayed alive, and I did it all on my own...and your home was always such a safe one...but safe is not good enough...you've never seen the miserable side of town...you don't seem to think that it even exists...you've never taken a real chance in your whole life...your heartbeat's never been much faster than what it now is...and I know your life must be a good one...but good is not good enough
Surrounded in Flames, Filled With Love: Buried in black air, God knows where, but I know what it is, what it is, what it is...it's the earth on which I fell between me and hell, and I fell so hard, so hard, so hard...the concrete and the wires this city caught fire and it spread so quick, so quick, so quick...I am chipping at the stone cause I'm afraid of the unknown but I'm not sure why, sure why, sure why...cover your nose and cover your ears, but keep your eyes, keep your eyes wide open...you know that we are doomed and the city is our tomb so let's gather round, gather round, gather round, and enjoy what's left...and enjoy what's left...Were surrounded in flames and filled with love(repeat)
Premonition: No one can see me, and noone would believe this...I stand atop this hill alone, and no one else exists...when I open my eyes, I feel a drying burn...nothing I swallow will go down, and when I breathe, it hurts...I had a premonition all would end so suddenly...I thought I would go down as well, and that was fine by me...they said that everything would melt and nothing would survive...I am my own emperor for as long as I stay alive...but I have got no use for it, there's no real purpose to this...there's no one to amaze me, no one to impress...(repeat chorus)
Consciousness Sets In: When they say, say, say there's a God, and how he loves you so much...and they tell you, tell you when you meet him, it's gonna all make sense...Oh how you hope, hope, hope that it's true...How they praise, praise, praise you so much for all the good things you did...but when consciousness sets in you found it led you on...oh how you wish, wish, wish it were real...How she loves, loves, loves you so much in such a real way...but when consciousness set in, they took it away...You'll do anything, anything to bring it back
Colors Fade: Capabilities are small, but my eyes are big...but they cannot focus on anything...my head is light, but it pounds so heavy...something is coming, and I know I won't be ready for it...Sitting in solitude as silence surrounds me while I hear my brain pounding on a timpani...While colors fade, colors fade, colors fade, and senses cease...Woke up in a lake artificially blue...skyscrapers on the shore, millions of people, too...I cannot swim, so I sink instead...poison in my lungs, peace inside my head...(repeat chorus)
Sweet Killers: Burn, my sweet killers, burn...rise, sweet hatred, rise...speak, sweet voices, speak...tell me, just what to do...you're running, you're running so hard...but you're not getting any farther away...you're fighting, you're fighting so hard...but you know that there is just no way out...run, sweet children in my head...away, to the perfect place...will somebody, somewhere, talk to me...I can't stand to be this alone...(repeat chorus)
"Ruhr" (2003): White Gold -- help. -- 10,000 Romances -- Millions -- Die and Rise and Die Again -- There Is No Other Possible Way -- Whorehouse Blues -- Madeira
White Gold: Hypnotized by the concrete hum and the highway lines...behind reflective shades lie guilty eyes...the devil's on my right shoulder...he tells me where to go...but the angel that was on my left gave up a long time ago...someday I'll find Jesus...someday I'll believe in God...someday I'll carve out my eyes...for the evil that I saw...maybe I'll live to 30...I don't really need to know...cause right now it's okay...with this white gold...my palms are pale and sweaty...my fingers numb and sore...God I swear I'll do whatever you want...if I make it to the border...the man looks suspicious...but how can he tell...what are they all looking at...what do the dogs smell...someday I'll understand...how to never look behind...my regrets won't scream at me...all the fucking time...someday I'll cut off my hands...for all that I stole...but now the loads too heavy...from this white gold.
help.: The blood inside me has turned to air...and soon the rest of me will be too...the silence inside me is killing me...and none of my delusions are coming true...so help me sir, whoever you are...I swear I don't want it but I know I need it...but you'll use this against me anyhow...I swear I don't want it don't want it at all...but I need it I need it I need it now.
10,000 Romances: I've got a nation at my command...but no living thing would reside there...I made a volcano from a single cigarette...and an empire made out of air...I had 10,000 Romances but they were all in my head...I had so many beautiful memories all turn to dead air...I've got endless space to myself...and a shelter to call my own...I've got a river of God's own tears...and a beautiful tombstone.
Millions: There's millions of us...and millions of you...but soon those around you will be gone...cause I know your secrets...and I know your weaknesses...but you can go ahead and think you've won...pat my back...and drive the knife...anything to win the fight...but you know you'd never touch me...if you had to do it right...there's millions of use...but now there's only one of you...and soon you'll get what you have earned...no matter what you try...you will collapse...and i'll laugh at your coveted...final words.
Die and Rise and Die Again: Kill me, babe...however you can...you kill me babe...and you'll do it again...die and rise and die again...I could melt into you...I could fall into you... one in one and one with you...I could become you.
There Is No Other Possible Way: there is no other possible way...to get out alive...and i haven't left the room...for such a long time...which leaves me here to wonder...why I was here in the first place...this was shelter from a hell...but nothing ever could change...there's empty space all around...when it's dark and it's cold...there's a hole in the wall...but it's small and it's old...i hate all of you people...and i wish you all harm...but i'm looking to change my mind...and love you with all my heart...how i wanted to heal...how i wanted to stay...but i've gotta get out alive...this is the only way...there's love here somewhere...but i don't know how to find it...which leaves me to believe...that i'm better off without it.
Whorehouse Blues: I stood on the edge of the bridge looking down...wondering where to i go from here...i took a walk on the shoulder miles from town...hoping that nobody knows i'm here...so how did i get here...i didn't plan this...i swear i'll do what you want...if i get out of this...i stared at the dust in the mirror one too many times...each time a brand new all time low...and i slept by the doors of the whorehouse and empty parking lots...but it's time for me to go...i dreamt that i could speak to the girl who split my heart in two...so i could beg her to do it again...and i am so proud of the place where i have ended up...so far from the shackles of perfection.
Madeira: I want to wonder again...I want to wander again...i've done this a thousand times before...but i don't know how to begin...i know my heart is broken...but i don't remember what happened at all...there wasn't any sudden pain...i didn't feel a thing at all...what happened to us?...what happened and how?...what happened to love?...what's happening now?...after another broken skull...and another broken dream...they beat me down...i was choking blood...but I never felt a thing...there's nothing left to claim...nothing left to do...i listen to the hum where words once were that came from me and you.
