1. PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY

I knew a boy,
Who came from the sea;
He was the only boy,
Who ever knew the truth,
About me...

I'm overwhelmed and under-sexed,
Oh, baby, what did you expect?

I'm over-wrought and so disgraced,
I'm too ashamed to show my face...

And they come and take me away, now...
What I want I will never have...

I'm on the Pacific Coast Highway...
With your gun in my hand...

I knew a boy,
Who left me so ravaged,
Do you even know the extent,
Of the damage?

My dirty little secret died,
In between the sheets,
And the promises that kept me,
From your eyes.

I'm bloody and so tightly bound,
I don't know what to do with my hands now.
I surrender, I give in;
I'll kick down this door if you don't let me in!

And I've lost myself completely...
I look to you my shooting star...

I'm on the Pacific Coast Highway...
My God, how did you fall so far...

Your whole world is in my hands,
Your whole wide world is in my hands,
Your whole world is in my hands,
Your whole wide world is in my hands.

I'm out there dying for you, baby,
I've got your blood on my hands.

Your whole world is in my hand,
Your whole world is in my hand,
Your whole world is in my hand,
Your whole wide world is in my hands.

And you know I'm drowning,
And you know I'm drowning,
And you know I'm drowning,
And you know I'm drowning,
And you know I'm drowning...


3. LETTER TO GOD

Dear God,
I'm writing this letter to you,
Cause I don't have a clue,
Can you help me?

I'm sitting here,
Simply trying to figure out,
What my life's all about.
Can you tell me?

I never wanted to be,
The person you see...
Can you tell me who I am?

I always wanted to die,
But you kept me here alive.
Can you tell me who I am?

I lie awake,
Conducting this symphony,
That you have gifted to me,
But I can't ever sleep.

Don't be mad,
But I get weak inside,
And I start to fall apart,
Cause I feel nothing.

I never wanted to be,
Some kind of comic relief.
Please show me who I am.

I've been tortured and scorned,
Since the day that I was born,
But I don't know who I am.

And I thank you man, for everything.
Sorry I'm so frightened about all of this,
But I wish I could give you more.
And all the lights are shining down on me,
And I feel intimidated by it all.

I never wanted to be,
The person you see,
But thank you...

Oh, God,
Please tell me now,
Are you disappointed, are you proud?
Haven't I done everything?
Everything?

I'm so sorry I'm so weak,
And I turned into a freak,
But I don't know anything!
Anything!

And I've lost all self-esteem,
From burying everything,
And I feel nothing!
Nothing!

Oh, God,
Please tell me now,
Oh, God,
Please tell me now,
Cause I feel nothing!

Dear, God,
I'm writing this letter to you...
I am coming unglued...
Please help me...


4. STAND UP MOTHERFUCKER

You come to me with tears in your eyes,
You come to me all wrong.
You come to me with more and more lies,
But all you get, baby, is this song.

You come to me in sorrow,
And you come to me in disgrace.
Oh, come back here tomorrow,
I'll wipe that smirk right off your face.

You come to with tabloids,
And you come to me with sleaze.
I'll smack her lip gloss off your face,
And I'll have you on your knees.
So,

Stand Up Motherfucker,
I'ma help you out.
Stand Up Motherfucker,
I'm gonna have you somehow.

Stand Up Motherfucker,
Put your back against the wall.
Stand Up Motherfucker,
Watch me take it all.

You come to me injectable,
And powdered to ingest.
I never was respectable,
But at least I was well dressed.

You come to me bloody,
But somehow I'm bowed.
I want total surrender,
And I want it now.

You come to me to tell me all,
The story of your life.
Exquisite rare, exotic things,
You'd never tell your wife.
So,

Stand Up Motherfucker,
I will see you now.
Stand Up Motherfucker,
Let me help you down.

Stand Up Motherfucker,
Ah, never, never end.
Stand Up Motherfucker,
Let me take my revenge.

In order to be heard,
In order to be named.
In order to be burnt,
Or go up in flames.

You come to me expecting,
I'm selling alibis and excesses.
Oh, what a bloody war,
And, oh, what a mess, and,

I've never seen anyone,
More cynical or reserved,
Or anyone more degraded,
Or anyone more blind.

With your total lack of discipline,
Your desperate air of need.
You're in a town without pussy,
But one night you had me.
So,

Stand Up Motherfucker,
Let me help you down.
Stand Up Motherfucker,
I will see you now.

Stand Up Motherfucker,
Put your back against the wall.
Stand Up Motherfucker,
Let me enjoy the crawl.

I've come to you so sweetly,
I've come to you discreetly.
I;m begging of you baby, ah,
To disappear completely.

You're desperate for an eight-ball,
Of power and prestige,
And you remind me of Caligula,
I think I better leave.

But the angels of my better nature,
Have all deserted me.
Lying here, with a demon,
Who wants total devouring.
So,

Stand Up Motherfucker,
I will see you now.
Stand Up Motherfucker,
Come on take a bow.

Stand Up Motherfucker,
Put your back against the wall.
Stand Up Motherfucker,
Let me enjoy the crawl.

Hey, hey, whats that sound?
Everyone look, oh, everyone look,
I've tied him down!

Hey, hey! Whats that sound?
Every move you make,
And every breath you take,
And every single right,
And every single night.

All a bunch of disgrace,
Is written on my face.
Watch me unwind,
And watch me lose my mind,
And watch me la-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-hey!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-hey!

Stand Up Motherfucker,
I will see you now.
Stand Up Motherfucker,
I'm gonna have you somehow.

Stand Up Motherfucker,
Put your back against the wall.
Stand Up Motherfucker,
Watch me take it all...


7. NEVER GO HUNGRY AGAIN

It's a long way back,
From where I've fallen down.
It's a very hard fall,
It's a very cruel town.

And my dress is torn,
And I got no jewels.
And I'm hungry for,
A life a little less cruel.

Some dignity,
And not too much sorrow.
Just a little bit a hope,
Holdin' out for tomorrow...

Oh, I don't care,
What it takes my friend.
I will never go hungry,
Go hungry again.

And, oh, I don't care,
What I have to defend.
I will never go hungry,
Go hungry again.

It's a long ride home,
And my head is bowed.
And you're no comfort,
To me now.

And it's fully loaded,
And it's set on stun.
At least I know,
That I have won.

And my wigs on crooked,
And I got no shoes.
I run back and forth,
And I wait for you.

Oh, I don't care,
What it takes my friend.
I will never go hungry,
Go hungry again.

Oh, and I don't care,
What I have to pretend.
I will never go hungry,
Go hungry again.

And out of it all,
I have survived.
From the fires of hell,
I am alive.

Seen us crush his spirit,
Survived this mess you made.
Oh, God, can you hear us?
You're my salvation, babe.

And it's time for me, yeah,
To take a stand.
And it's time for me, yeah,
To be a man...

And I don't care,
What it takes my friend.
I will never go hungry,
Go hungry again.

Oh, and I don't care,
What I have to pretend.
I will never go hungry,
Go hungry again.

And the phoenix, she rises,
She is sure to descend.
She will never go hungry,
Go hungry again.

And you're looking to me,
More and more like a Godsend.
We will never go hungry,
Go hungry again.

And we owe each other nothing,
There's no left here to offend...

We will never go hungry,
Go hungry again...

10. CAR CRASH

Theres a ghost on the highway,
And I wanna run it down.
There's a phantom in my bed,
And I'm all alone now.

I've seen every hotel,
I've seen every rehab.
There is nothing I haven't done,
There is no one I haven't had.

Would you be there when the lights,
When the lights get shot right out?
Would you be there when the roof,
When the roof comes crumbling down?

And I know myself too well,
And the devil speaks to me.
And he's got me pinned down now,
Telling me I'm so empty.

Oh, just say you're sorry now,
And you'll never do it again.
Take the edge right off and keep it,
Cause you'll never be high again.

Would you be there when the lights,
When the lights get shot right out?
Would you be there when the roof,
When the roof comes crashing down?

Would you be there when the devil,
When the devil comes for me?
Would you be there when the lights,
Go black and empty?

And I live in a box,
And I die in this hole,
And you hold the keys to the zoo.

And I don't wanna go,
But I can't seem to come,
And it's not up to me,
It's up to you.

And at all tomorrows parties,
I will be there not at one.
And when you all start to miss me,
Oh, just pass me the gun.

And it's Valentines again,
And there's nothing here for me.

Would you be there when the lights,
When the lights come crashing down?
Would you be there when the roof,
When the roof comes crumbling down?

Would you be there when the Devil,
Takes me to the underground?
Would you be there when the night,
Stays night all year around?

Would you be there in the ice,
In the frost and cold and freeze?
Would you be there anytime,
Anywhere I'm on my knees?
