Lyrics

1. GET WHAT’S COMING

You lay on your back and the weak get weaker
You could have been a doctor but at least you're not a preacher
You had a good education until you fired your best teacher

When it comes back around you're gonna get what's coming (x2)

You lay on your back and the strong get stronger
You say you've got the flu but we know it's just hunger
You'd better file an extension because it's gonna take longer

When it comes back around you're gonna get what's coming (x2)

You sit on your fence and you scream about justice
Between the have and have-nots only one feels the difference

When it comes back around you're gonna get what's coming [x3]


2. TORTURE

Here comes another one,
limping over the hill.
Say's the lion with the respect to eat the body of his kill,
but you just take the heart, and you do it for the thrill.

It's torture.

Poison for the belly,
sugar in the gas tank of my brain.
You give me no excuses because I don't make you explain.
I'm a bitch for your abuse, and a glutton for the pain.

It's torture.


3. RADIO

Way back when before the vacuum tube
Tesla was working on a deeper groove
Marconi had the money just to get it all made
Tesla had the skills but Marconi got paid

This information ain't just stir-crazy

All I really want is my radio
Yes, I really need my radio
Turn it up

What'cha gonna do with the power of Franz?
Without your computer you'll be chasing your tail
You'd better file complaints in an e-mail
Crystal said it'll be my hammer and nails

This information ain't just stir-crazy

All I really want is my radio
Talkin' 'bout radio
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

People try to tell me that I'm way too slow
They just wanna talk about their teenage show
No sign is gonna tell me which way to go
DJ tell me what I need to know

Radio, radio, radio, radio...


4. SACRED TONGUE

Come to you on broken wing
Naked as you knew I'd be
Will you shave my head
And wash the world from my mouth?

Will you whisper in my hands
Let me dance inside your chest
Until my tongue is sacred again?

Come to you with poisoned eyes
Violent as my death will be
Won't you wash my face
And take away my anger?

Will you whisper in my hands
Let me dance inside your chest
Until my tongue is sacred again?


5. Sleepwalker

Whoa, this hussy’s got a hold on me.
I can’t think straight and my money’s all gone.
Yeah, I thought my happiness would come for free,
now she’s got me thinking I was wrong.

Whoa, this hussy’s got a hold on me.
I get paid with checks but I spend it all in ones.
She likes the house lights low, so I can barely see,
Hey, she tells me I’m the only one.

Sleepwalking, every day.
Sleepwalking, every day.

Whoa, this hussy’s got a hold on me.
I take the damned wrong road no matter what my friends say.
Yeah, she’s got me picking up her kids at three,
Every other day.

Sleepwalking, every day.
Sleepwalking, every day.

Sleepwalking’
I’ve got to keep the hussy paid.

Whoa, this hussy’s got a hold on me.
I take the damned wrong road no matter what my friends say.
Yeah, she’s got me crawling on my hands and knees,
I guess she likes it that way.

Sleepwalking, every day.
Sleepwalking, every day.
Sleepwalking’ I’ve got to keep the hussy paid.


6. SOUL

They may take everything from you,
they may take your time to think things through.
They'll tell you everything that you want to hear,
until you tell them that what they say is true.

That's when the darkness comes to your loneliness,
and your given voice sounds so meaningless.
That's when they give your mouth such an eloquence,
that you think you sound just like your heroes.

But don't give them your soul,
don't give them your soul.
Don't give them your soul,
save that soul for me.

I've got those same five walls,
stare at the ceiling trying to transcend it all.
that's when your doubt creeps in, tells you to break your wings,
tells you you need not try, because you're afraid to fall.

That's when the darkness comes to your loneliness,
and your given voice sounds so meaningless.
That's when they give your mouth such an eloquence,
that you think you sound just like your heroes.

But don't give them your soul,
don't give them your soul.
Don't give them your soul,
save that soul for me.

I may hurt you,
darling I might leave you.
I might absentmindedly mistreat you.
But at the end of it all,
and at the end of the day,
I only want one thing.
I just want you to be you.
Don't give them your soul,
don't give them your soul.
Don't give them your soul,
save that soul for me.
