Why Don't You Sleep?

Strap my laces tight
Gonna run away tonight
No release will make me right
Haven't slept for eleven days

Help me
Help me
Help me
Help me

Why don’t you sleep, dear?
Why don’t you sleep, dear?
Nothing will happen ta you
You’re safe while you sleep, dear

Zombie boy on the road
Better than a zombie in bed
I can’t ever do what I’m told
I’ll sleep when when I am dead

Help me
But you can’t help me
I’ll bet you can’t help me

Why don’t you sleep, dear?
Why don’t you sleep, dear?
Nothing will happen ta you
You’re safe while you sleep, here

There’ll be no spiders to bite your tongue
There’ll be no viruses in your lungs
And the earthquake won’t pin you
So why don’t you sleep?
Why don’t you sleep?

I’ll come around
I’ll come around
I’ll come around
I’ll come around
And darkness shows me the way….

Why don’t you sleep, dear?
Why don’t you sleep, dear?
Nothing will happen ta you
You’re safe while you sleep, HERE

There’ll be no spiders to bite your tongue
There’ll be no viruses in your lungs
And the earthquake won’t pin you
So why can’t you sleep?
Why don’t you sleep?
 
Popstar:

I'm through with living in trailers with my pushy mom
I'm only nine and she makes me put makeup on
So I'll grant her her wish and I won't stop 'til I'm on TV

- so tell me what you want -
I want a brand new nose and a cleft in my chin
And some breast implants I'll deny I put in
And a tea-cup poodle that I'm always carrying with me

- yeah, so what'd you need? -
I need a good producer 'cause you know I can't sing
And a lawyer who can get me out of anything
Gonna date Justin Timberlake to gain some credibility

- well, who hasn't done that? -
I want my own perfume and clothing line
It's all made in sweatshops, but that's just fine
I'll give the child labourers a signed copy of my CD

- so how you gonna do it? -
I'm gonna re-establish the Mouseketeers
Start my new life wearing those Mickey ears

'Cause we all just wanna be big Pop Stars
Start out innocent to get my fan base large
My listeners will be people in their tweens
And old perverts who can't wait 'til I turn 18
And my first hit will be a Disney song
But my good girl image won't last too long
My first album just had some innuendo
But my third album I'll act like a full-blow ho
Well hey, hey, I wanna be a Pop Star
Hey, hey, I wanna be a Pop Star

I wanna be generic, let the media lead me
Gonna sing canned music that my label feeds me
Oversaturate the market 'till everyone is sick of me

- oh trust me, it'll happen -
I'm gonna dress myself without an ounce of class
Gonna make the boys all drool and stare at my - glasses
Gonna hang out with the laughing stock of society

- so how you gonna do it? -
I'm gonna lose all sense of decency
And sell-out all of my integrity

'Cause we all just wanna be big Pop Stars
Paparazzi getting pictures of my implant scars
I'll sleep through the day and party all night long
It's so hard to remember to put panties on
And my male fans will all be crushed
When those photo's leak that haven't been airbrushed
I'll marry a loser who just wants my fame
Then I'll divorce his sorry butt the very next day
Then I'll drop a hint that I'm a lesbian
Hoping that'll jump start my career again
I'll pose for magazine like FHM and Marie Claire
Tell all about how I'm a Christian in my underwear
Well, hey, hey, I wanna be a Pop Star!
I'm gonna have some babies and then I'll neglect 'em
Hit my mid-life crisis when I'm twenty seven
Make sure I'm drunk before I start to drive
Get caught lip-syncing on
Saturday Night Live

Well we all just wanna be big Pop Stars
Make abysmal movies then wreck fifteen cars
I'll check into rehab after hitting that tree
Then I'll check out early but be back next week
And they'll finally put me behind bars
With a real short sentence since I am a star
The Tabloids will tell them that I've lost my flair
When the pressure get's too much well I'll just shave my hair
But I'll work hard to get my life on track
And fans will all start to accept me back
I'm back on top and selling out my shows
Until my ex releases our sex videos
Well, hey, hey, I wanna be a Pop Star
Well, hey, hey I wanna be a Pop Star!
 
People are Strange:

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
 
The way you shake it, I can't believe it
I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee-pee go
Da-doing, doing, doing
I don't believe it, it's almost to good to be true
I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee-pee go
Da-doing doing doing
The way she moves, she's like a belly-dancer
She's shaking that ass to the new Nelly jams
I think someone's at the door, but I don't think I'mma answer
Police saying "Freeze!" da-doing, doing, doing
What do you mean, 'freeze'? Please, I'm a human being!
I have needs! I'm NOT done, not 'til I'm finished peeing
I am not resisting arrest, I am agreeing
Mr. Officer! I'm already on my knees
I can't get on the ground any further, it's impossible for me
And do not treat me like a murderer, I just like to pee
Pee, pee, yes, I make R&B, I sing song
It go Ring-a-Chong, a-Ching-Chong-Chong-Chong-Ching
Psych! I joke, I joke! I kid, I kid!
If I offend, I'm sorry! Please, please, forgive!
For I am Triumph the Puppet Dog, I am a mere puppet
I can get away anything I say and you will love it!
The way you shake it, I can't believe it
I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee-pee go
Da-doing doing doing
Jessica Simpson looks oh so tempting
Nick, I ain't never seen an ass like that
Every time I see that show on MTV, my pee-pee goes
Da-doing doing doing
Mary-Kate and Ashley used to be so wholesome
Now they're getting older, they're starting to grow bum-bums
I go to the movies and sit down with my popcorn
Police saying 'freeze!': da-doing, doing, doing
What do you mean, 'freeze'? Geez, I just got my seat!
I have ticket, look, I put it away, my zipper's zipped!
Please do not remove me from this movie theatre, please
I did not even get to see Mary-Kate's shower scene
I didn't mean to be obscene or make a great big scene
And don't treat me like I'm Pee Wee Herman, this movie's PG
Mr. Officer, I demand to see my attorney
I will simple plead innocent, cop a plea, and be free
Free, yes free, right back on the streets
What you mean my lawyer's with Michael, he's too busy?
I am Triumph, Britney Spears has shoulders like a man
And I can say that and you'll laugh
Cause there's a puppet on my hand
The way you shake it, I can't believe it
I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee-pee go
Da-doing, doing, doing
Hilary Duff is not quite old enough, so
I ain't never seen her butt like that
Maybe next year, I'll say ass and she'll make my pee-pee go
Da-doing, doing, doing
The way she moves, she dances like a go-go
In that video, she sings, "Get out, you bozo
I need a new boyfriend!" Hi, my name is JoJo
Police saying 'freeze!': doing, doing, doing
What do you mean, 'freeze'? My computers will be seized
And my keys, to my ranch, I just bake cookies
Mr. Officer, lookie, take a whiff of this
Here, I make Jesus juice, take a sip of this
Nobody is safe from me! No, not even me
I don't even know if I can say the word 'pee-pee'
Pee, on the radio but I think I did
Janet, is that a breast? I think I just saw a tit!
Psych! I joke, I joke, I kid, I kid
I don't think my joke is working, I must flee quick!
Get to the chopper, everybody get out
I am not Triumph, I am Ah-nuld, get dowwwn!
The way you shake it, I can't believe it
I ain't never seen an - ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee-pee go
Da-doing, doing, doing
So Gwen Stefani, will you pee-pee on me please
I ain't never seen a - ass like that
Cause the way you move it, you make my pee-pee go
Doing, doing, doing
The fuck is wrong with you?
Ha!
 
Toh Kay (Original: Streetlight Manifesto) - A moment of silence

A moment of silence please for those who never get the chance
They show up to the party but they're never asked to dance
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves
The cynicists, the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing
I never met a loser that I did see eye to eye with, I declare
I stare into your eyes
But you look right past me into the air
What's it like to stand in your shoes?
To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse?
I take the bottle and I tip it to all my heroes that have passed
Alas, you have left us but your stories they will last
Uninspired by the recruiting call
Independent we stand
Independent we fall
So tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
I don't know but I'd like to think I had control
At some point but I let it go and lost my soul
Sit tight but the revolution's years away
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say
So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
Oh! to have died that night I realized it wouldn't last!
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
Oh! to the west, you don't know what it is you're running from
And everybody's laughing loud
Your last chance to make your mother and father proud
Oh, oh, oh...
A moment of silence please for those who never get the chance
They show up to the party but they're never asked to dance
The losers, the liars, the bastards, the thieves
The cynicists, the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing
They said "a pox
Upon your house
Upon your family and everyone you ever knew
And everyone you'll ever meet"
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could
But we do what we want we don't do what we should
Now everybody's laughing
Because they're thinking they in on something I don't get
Don't forget
I connect and I read every word you said
Like a child who believes he was wronged
If you hate me so much then stop singing my songs
So tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
I don't know but I'd like to think I had control
At some point but I let it go and lost my soul
Sit tight but the revolution's years away
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say
So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
Oh! to have died that night I realized it wouldn't last!
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
Oh! to the west, you don't know what it is you're running from
And everybody's laughing loud
Your last chance to make your mother and father proud
Oh, oh, oh...
 
Sarah's Theme; or, Come Little Children.


Come little children, I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children, the time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows

Follow, sweet children, I'll show thee the way
Through all the pain and the sorrow
Weep not, poor children, for life is this way
Murdering beauty and passion

Hush now, my children, it must be this way
Too weary of life and deceptions
Rest now, poor children, for soon we'll away
Into the calm and the quiet

Come little children, I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children, the time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows


Saw this covered by Bill Skarsgard (as Pennywise) and it was the best thing ever.
 
The Future

Give me back my broken night
My mirrored room, my secret life
It's lonely here
There's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
Over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby
That's an order!

Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
And stuff it up the hole
In your culture
Give me back the Berlin Wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother
It is murder

Things are going to slide
Slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed it's threshold
And it's overturned
The order of the soul

When they said, they said, repent
Repent, Repent, Repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said, they said, repent
Repent, Repent, Repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said, they said, repent
Repent, Repent, Repent
I wonder what they meant

You don't know me from the wind
You never will, you never did
I'm the little Jew
Who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
But love's the only engine
Of survival

Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold
It's over, it ain't going any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future: it is murder

Things are going to slide
Slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed it's threshold
And it's overturned
The order of the soul

When they said, they said, repent
Repent, Repent, Repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said, they said, repent
Repent, Repent, Repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said, they said, repent
Repent, Repent, Repent
I wonder what they meant

There'll be the breaking of the ancient Western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be fires, there'll be phantoms on the road
And the white man dancing
You'll see your woman hanging upside down
Her features covered by her hanging gown
And all the lousy little poets coming round
Trying to sound like Charlie Manson
Yeah, the white man dancing

Give me back the Berlin Wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
Or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby: it is murder

Things are going to slide
Slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed it's threshold
And it's overturned
The order of the soul

When they said, they said, repent
Repent, Repent, Repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said, they said, repent
Repent, Repent, Repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said, they said, repent
Repent, Repent, Repent
I wonder what they meant

"KHTDR"
The Flatliners

So, we scratch these walls that we have built, this disbelief is useless
We pull these stakes we've driven in and I'm pumped dry, can you see it?
We fade to black and I'm giving in, my blood it spills on the city
I'm ripped apart back at the beginning
Can I say?

This confession of the heart will bleed until its end, if we ever see the beginning
My throat is dried out much like my patience and your nails are digging in
As my ribcage cracks, I exhale this dying breath and I see your face
And I see that perfect smile fade
These bones I keep in my closet keep me from the skin that is clinging to me
Not sure of what were the best days and everything in between seems obsolete
I feel I'm grounded with this weight that is breathing down my neck
I'm paralyzed with no confirmation of hope yet but the world will tease
until all eyes are on me

With this bitter taste dripping off of my teeth, my bloody hands struggling to come clean
I've bled out all my reasoning, I've watched your syllables subside but for good measure
this time I'll smile,until my teeth are rotting gums, until I lose my mind

I heard you're doing great, I'm doing just fine -

The blood these knuckles have spared hasn't helped me wrap my head around this
And from the water's edge, I'm losing mine in the shallow end
I'm the one in the back with fingernails in my eyes,
it took me years to see the situation fit
Don't look now as I fake a smile, a thought, a memory when I don't give a shit

I've said this all before, I've said it loud enough
and I've said it a thousand times -

We scratch these walls that we have built, this disbelief is useless
We pull these stakes we've driven in and I'm pumped dry, can you see it?
We fade to black and I'm giving in, my blood it spills on the city
I'm ripped apart back at the beginning
Can I say?

My veins are hollowed out and I drop like a bomb you never even saw coming
These last days and this blackened heart has ceased to beat,
won't even start pumping - I always feel like I'm waiting around for tomorrow,
these eyes can't see what's lying right there in front of me, what's lying right there in front of me
And these walls all crumble to the ground and the sky is red and it's coming down
I will never come down

We scratch these walls that we have built but this time I am letting go,
this time I am letting go
We pull these stakes we've driven in
but this time I am letting go, fade to black our tomorrows

@AutoTripper yeah man we're opposite sides of the fence eh - nuance brother

felt these lyrics many year, feeling them today, used to busk this tune years ago

Hawkwind "Coded Languages"

Investigate the meaning of your sentence
What is it telling you?
Where does it begin and where does it end?

Question the nature of your order, question the nature of your orders
Question the nature of your orders!
What do they want from you?

A rendezvous upon the sound
The cars rev up the word goes round
The words are weapons of their will
Their words can hurt, their words can kill
A burning phrase can burn a town
A syllable can bring you down
Their languages are coded, your image is eroded

Listen to the sound you heard
Learn to fight against their word
Vocabularies of death, destruction in their breath
They use the lie, they use the myth
Seek only to confuse, and liberty abuse
The lies they tell are pretty, and blow up another city

They steal away your freedom
And your love

Their sentimental calling signs , are calculatingly designed
To rob you of your mind and time
And still you listen to the lulling drone of reassuring voices
Tunes to take away your choices, make you slaves to fancy words and phrases
Until you're pushing up the daisies

They steal away your freedom
And your love
 
All the leaves are brown
(All the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey
(And the leaves are brown)
I'd go for a walk
(All the leaves are brown)
On a Winter's day
(Alll the leaves are brroowwnn)
 
Too Bad You're Crazy (Jerry Whitman, from the end of April Fools Day (1986)

Fun Fact: a guy I had a huge crush on sang this to me at a party...I like to think in a "you're so cute and crazy" way and not in a "get the fuck away from me" way :)

Too bad you're crazy
Too bad you're looney as hell
So long, it could have been swell
Togeeee-ther
Too bad you're whacko
How sad your marbles are gone
(All gone)
We could be dancing 'til dawn
But you're too weird for words
How did you get so strange?
You were such a beautiful kid
Now you're so deranged
Was it mom and daddy?
Was it something they did?
(Too bad you're loco)
Too bad!
(You should be locked in a cell)
So sad, you're great but hey what the hell
You're craaaa-zy
(You're off the deep end)
(Your life's a practical joke)
I'd bail you out, but I'm broke
Your brain's completely fried
Life's just a party trick to you
Clown jokes and lots of hoop-dee-doo
It's time to put that on the shelf
(Loving you is a three-ring circus)
You do look fetching
Too bad, it could be catching
Egads!
I'm a little bit crazy myself
(Not too)
Just a little but crazy myself
I'm a little bit crazy myself
 
"Anesthetize"
- Porcupine Tree

A good impression of myself, not much to conceal
I'm saying nothing, but I'm saying nothing with feel
I simply am not here, no way, I - shut up, be happy
Stop whining, please
Because of who we are we react in mock surprise
The curse of "there must be more"

So don't breathe here, don't leave your bags
I simply am not here, no way I - shut up, be happy
Stop whining please

The dust in my soul makes me feel the weight in my legs
My head in the clouds and I'm zoning out

I'm watching TV but I find it hard to stay conscious
I'm totally bored but I can't switch off

Only apathy from the pills in me! It's all in me, all in you
Electricity, from the pills in me! It's all in me, all in you

Only MTV, cod philosophy

We're lost in the mall, shuffling through the stores,
like zombies - What is the point? What can money buy?

My hand's on a gun and I find the range, God tempt me
What did you say? Think I'm passing out

Only apathy from the pills in me! It's all in me, all in you
Electricity, from the pills in me! It's all in me, all in you

Only MTV, cod philosophy

Water so warm that day, I counted out the waves
As they broke into shore, I smiled into the sun

The water so warm that day, I was counting out the waves
and I followed their short life as they broke on the shoreline
I could see you, but I couldn't hear you, you were holding your
hat in the breeze - turning away from me in this moment
You were stolen as black across the sun
Water so warm that day, I counted out the waves as they broke-
 
"Earthly Pleasures"
- The Villagers

Naked on the toilet with a toothbrush in his mouth
When he suddenly acquired an overwhelming sense of doubt
Every single piece of baggage he'd been holding on his back
Was beginning to d-d-dig in, and then his back began (began) to crack

And when he finally broke up, he found that he'd been breaking down
Little body, little soul, little shrapnel on the ground
And so he started to examine, from the clumsy to the cute, from the fat,
fat cat to the destitute, from the chat fat cat to the mute

Oh, earthly pleasure ring out, from the rigors of this road
Earthly pleasure ring out, from the caverns of my soul


Then suddenly he found himself in 1822, and he was in another body,
in a heavy sort of suit - he was surrounded but he'd started making plans to make a run
When they called to him, "Son, cock your gun!"

And so he did as all the others had already done, he put his finger
on the trigger and he got him some
But though he don't like to admit it, it was sensual and pure
And he changed that day, though he can't be sure
if it's the sickness or the cure

Oh, earthly pleasure ring out, from the rigors of this road
Earthly pleasure ring out, from the caverns of my soul


So there he was in front of her divine simplicity
And she was speaking Esperanto and drinking ginger tea
As she inquired about the reason for his visit here today
Well he just said,
"No reason and I really shouldn't stay"

And so he thought she would think that he was some kind of freak
And that he'd go back to the grind and that he wouldn't last a week
But she didn't, she just sighed and uttered softly with a smile
"Sit down, dear child. What's on your mind?"

And so he frantically described to her the kingdom at her feet
As she continued with her manicure, and poured another tea
As he recounted tales of misery, and suffering and pain
She was yawning at the ceiling, so he had to up his game -

"The only thing your children cherish is to move up the ranks,
Lucifer is in our court, Beelzebub is in our banks
And if you don't cooperate with us, we'll hound you 'til you're dead"

So she granted him a wish and let him write it on her head
And when he read it back to her,
this is all it said:

Oh, earthly pleasure ring out, from the rigors of this road
Earthly pleasure ring out, from the caverns of my soul


Now I truly understand that I don't understand a thing
So let this earthly pleasure sing,
earthly pleasure-
 
Every now and again we get that feeling
And the great big void inside us opens up
And I really wish that you could help
But my head is like a carousel
& I’m going round in circles
Going round in circles.
 
Just popped her kidney I bought
A million options of the stock
And I stopped doing the green
Man I rock arenas
Bringing the peace I'm bumpin that Pac
In the car pretending I got all the eyes on me
 
Yeah I'm smoking motherfucker
Don't come around me with no vape
Got your bitch under the covers sucking on me like a pipe
It's the hero of the dark but I don't ever wear a cape
Take a bic and then I spark until the blunt evaporates
There is no debating $uicide
Too deep when I ride
Ruby getting high off of the pills that I supply
Just cruising by on flat tires in an '06 Chevy
Looking like I'm Bloody Mary sipping codeine and Peri
I'm Donnie Darko when I spark up and I'm creeping like Frank
Raising that choppa right at your face then after that I go blank
Cause Slickity of the hinges with syringes shooting up my veins
Rather be left alone
I don't care to know your name ho
 
I post this way to often but IDGAF

All our times have come
Here, but now they're gone

Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain
(We can be like they are)
Come on, baby
(Don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand
(Don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly
(Don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man

La, la la, la la
La, la la, la la

Valentine is done
Here, but now they're gone

Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity
(Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women every day
(Like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women every day
(Redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming every day
(We can be like they are)
Come on, baby
(Don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand
(Don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly
(Don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man

La, la la, la la
La, la la, la la

Love of two is one
Here, but now they're gone

Came a last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared,
The candles blew and then disappeared,
The curtains flew and then he appeared,
Saying, "Don't be afraid"
Come on, baby
And she had no fear
And she ran to him
Then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are
Come on, baby
Don't fear the reaper
 
elämä levossa unissa keloissa jossa mä harrastan itteni petosta ruumiini kankee ja huonossa vedossa enkä mä erota rakkautta pelosta
