Paroles pour l'album Them Crooked Vultures de Them Crooked Vultures

01-No One Loves Me & Neither Do I

I think I saw her for the first time
Maybe in a news stand...
She was nickin' a mag and dressed oblique
She called me baby, &
"Was it me maybe with a song on the radio ?"
So I told her I was rich,
Then she asked Could I use a dirty bitch ?
Of course...
Then she said,

No one loves & neither do I
You get what you give,
I give goodbye & if I should vanish
Don't get caught off guard & don't hold it against me
Unless it gets hard...
If sex is a weapon then smash! boom!
How you like me now?
You can't always do right
But you can always do what's left
When I told her I was trash
She winked & laughed
& said I already know
I gotta a beautiful place to put your face
& she was right
Then I said,

No one loves & neither do I
It makes perfect sense
So I never ask why
All gone tomorrow
Because life doesn't wait
You can keep your soul
I don't need a cell mate
Call me
I'm loose and ready to go
People in a world about to lose control
I know how to burn with passion
Hold nothing back for future ration
Give all you are, do not make haste

Savor
Every single taste you get got
I know how to be controlled,
Do opposite of what you're told
Be quick, react to break the box
& turn on cue as your cell door locks behind you
I know how to be lost in lust
Not because you should, but because you must
It burns white hot & so clouds the mind
Its lightning strike isn't always kind
So use me up

02-Mind Eraser, no chaser

Run along face lift
If it kills, I got news, It ain't a side effect
Call it a full rejeckt or
A fuel injected, type corrected
Teenage obstacle

All I wanna do is have my mind erased
I'm begging you, pleading you,
Stop comateasing us all
Drug company, where's the pill for me?

I call it mind eraser, no chaser at all
It reads-mind eraser, no chaser-in bright lights
On permanent leave of everything
Law binding, dick ridding,
Fun police, leave us alone

New age goostep on a karma collision
Dulling the edge of a razor blade
What does it mean when the knife & the hand are your own?
Robotic mom bought me, DIY kit lobotomy
It's a tuck, taste, dance, craze, movie of the week
You'll buy the doll, kick the ball
Then piss on the sheets

Give me a reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste ?
Understandingis cruel the monkey said as I laughed to space
I know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side effect
Ignorance is bliss, until they take your bliss away

Give me a reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste ?
I know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side effect
I'm not sorry to say we just ran out of give a shit

03-New Fang

New fang, new fang
Had it made to parade
Found a sucker
Now I want another

Stand up, step aside, open wide
Hanging out & on
Until the feeling is gone
Want to, yes I do
Wanna learn
Taking turns, getting carpet burns
Loose lips, lipstick spit
Come or go
Think it's both I gotta know

Sometimes you break a finger on the lipper hand
I think you've got me confused with a better man
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand
I know you've got me confused...
For a better man

No black cadillac, couldn't quit
Gums flap so...
Here's your teeth black
Accept what I left

Far behind in a time
When my mind was like a landmine
Tail gate, by the lake
Too much, too young
Every button gonna come undone
Tightrope, no joke
Nothing left, so you go baroque

04-Dead End Friends

I drive all alone, at night,
I drive all alone.
Don't know what I'm headed for.

I follow the road, blind.
Until the road is dead end.
Night's in my veins, it's calling me,
racing along these arteries
and law, is just a myth
to herd us over the cliff.

I follow the road at night,
just hoping to find
which puzzle piece fell out of me.

I know who you are,
open the door and climb in.
Hold me real close, then do it again,
I ache for the touch of my dead end friends
And oh, I gotta know...
is it dead
at the end of the road?
I can tell
by that look in your eyes,
we're the same,
my dead end friends and I

We drive all alone at night,
a never ending begin.
Sweet as a curse just out of reach,
awakens the dead end part of me & oh,
no more wandering.
Just me and my dead end friends again.

Dead end friends
Dead end friends
Dead end friends
Dead

05- Elephants

Painted as monsters,
borracho, cansado.
Do you know what the people say?
Plucked from the garden
of wicked beliefs,
I offer a rose
and smile with harmless teeth.

Then slick back my hair,
You know the devil's in there?
Alone in the garden.
Like lumbering giants
in a shameful parade,
we came to ruin all and
make a rotten trade.

So roll over...

Scattered on the shore,
surely washed away.
Feeling somewhat deserving
of what will be someday.
No I can never stay melancholy,
I've the memory of your face.
No I can never stay melancholy for long...

until I move on.

We're unwanted strangers,
exploited and dangerous,
unable to hide or even dream of it.
Como estas?
parting the seas,
like lepers who stroll,
why you afraid sweety?

I slick back my hair,
you know the devil's in there?
So keep one eye open baby.
We're so easy to spot,
lepers riding atop.
Pachyderms full of germs,
elephants broken and screaming and...

Scattered on the shore
surely washed away.
Feeling somewhat deserving
of what will be someday.
No I can never stay melancholy,
I've the memory of your face.
All alone in the garden
of long lost hopeful plans.
No I can never stay anything.....
for long.

06-Scumbag Blues

Innocence has no resistance
against a wicked counselor such as I.
You won't make it out.
Shall I lead you to my parlor,
poison offers disguised, in just your size.
You won't make it out.
You may think me altruistic,
feel my dark hypnosis closing in.
You won't make it out.

Then you grow cold,
cold
as a stare.
As if no,
none,
could compare.
But you don't know,
how close,
to ensnare.
When I control,
you will
despair.

Sycophancy, solipsistic,
Spider plays the fool
To lure the fly.
You won't make it out.

Then you grow cold,
cold
as a stare.
As if no,
none,
could compare.
But you don't know,
how close,
to ensnare.
When I control,
you will
despair.

07-Bandoliers

Oh it's too late
I got hit by the closing door
And as I watch myself reflect,
On the wrong side of
My, you've changed,
You turned the corner I'll never go
I admit I feel a bit deceived
You're expecting I'd follow

Bandoliers
To fight me, dear
Nobody caused the rift,
We've just grown apart now
So,

Prepare, and take aim
Then fire
Prepare, and take aim,
Then fire

(If that's the way it has to be)

I'm fooling myself,
Fooling myself into believing you
All these fictionary tales,
You're telling yourself
Selfish, like a child that's never heard of no
I watched him everchanging you,
Never find us

Bandoliers
To fight you, dear
Nobody caused the rift,
Can't become what I'm not
You've always my heart,
So if it must be broken

Prepare, and take aim,
Then fire
Prepare, and take aim,
Then fire
Prepare, and take aim,
Then fire
Prepare, and take aim,
Then fire

Fire away...
If you must, but I only came
Just to let you know: this is goodbye

Oh, Goodbye...

Prepare, and take aim,
Then fire
Prepare, and take aim,
Then fire

'Cause no one can make me die
No one can make me cry

08-Reptiles

I tried to make a break
What a fool
I should've known I never listen
I'm in a cage
An animal I'm in a cage

But the reptiles
They won't let me go
I think they want you to stray

Watch the monkey dance
Give 'em a taste
Look at him he's always smiling
Help me to escape
Your mouth agape
You foreign tourist

Woe is me, it will be a funeral
A circus, I'll rap on the cell door
Questions are a fire
That needs feeding to survive
So just you let those flames die down

Trained by consequence and the lash
It leaves me breathless
Their prais is a poison to us all
In the moonlight their scars flash like jewelry
Get too precious
Get locked up in a cage

Want to get,gotta risk any move
misconstrued and you're screwed
Tongues flash and flick as if they're screaming

Oh they lie just like any lover
Oh do they, those kisses will burn

Under the lights
They snap a finger
You jump, you answer
Like a naive hooker with a big dumb smile

For the reptiles
I guess you'll never know
They won't let you go
Cause you're the soup du'jour. that's for sure

Questions are a fire
That needs feeding to survive
So just you let those flames die down

See them reptiles crawl?
Getting closer
Why won't someone come to drive them away?

Don't rest too long
It's a mistake we can't take back
Take one lying down for a change
And oh it's like cleaning up after an orgy
When it's over
I wish someone would burn this place
To the ground

09-Interlude with Ludes

've always been behind you
So I think we should meet
I've sharpened my knives
So I'm gonna use them

Oh...Baby
Oh...Lalalala

I'm gonna smother you with my love
Forever and ever, also forever
Acid and poison and chemicals baby
Is what I mean to provide
I know together, we'll make the possible
Totally impossible

Lalalalalala-luh

If you want me I'm yours
And even if you don't want me
I'm trained and licensed and armed to the teeth
I think you'll agree

It's so hard to apologize
So I'm just gonna skip it
Sleep deprivation will make you a million
Did you just hear something crazy?

I got my fingers crossed you'll catch something baby
Cause I just threw myself at you
Everyone run and hide
I'm coming to find you
Is my face still bleeding?
Then what is your problem?

By the skin of my teeth
That's how I'm going to drive you

Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh
On the goodship lolly-gag

LSD and a bloody pile of rags (Hey)
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But I am...

10-Warsaw or the first breath after you give up

Can't afford to lose my head.
Can't afford to lose my cool.
You'll blow them all in king dumbcum.
Can't afford to lose my tease,
I just aim to please.

Feel like a no-tell motel painting,
out of place or ignored.
It's all medals and trophy's, trophy's and medal
and all before the race has been run.
Oh,
take off your mask,
is
it too much to ask??
Go on
Und give it a try
Or kiss
Your ass goodbye

Autobiographical anonymous.
A cotillion of friction on my jurisdiction.
It's a lovely disguise with the wandering eyes.
I get high,
now you've got something to look up to.

Trouble's a mangy stray dog,
play with it once, then it follows you home.
It's all "have nots,
have nones,
hey can I have some's?"
Until I've had enough
Yet I've had none.
Oh,
take off your mask,
lose
it into the trash...
Go on
und give it a try
or kiss
your ass goodbye.

Suddenly it gets easy.
The sun goes down.
The long arm of important things
disappears in her gown.
You finally drop
the knife,
forget you ever h....
It's such a good
night,
ain't forever.
It feels so good to give up, give in...
her arms.

I know it hurts.
It hurts to be young.
Metamorphosis is pain, I know.
I said it hurts to be young.
Gotta learn every goddamn thing.
You gotta hack your way through,
and realize...it's almost entirely lies.
But then you'll begin to smile.
Smile for me, real.
Wide.
Then you accept what you are.
The transforming is done.
You've become...absorbed into, and you know.
I think I know what to do.

11-Caligulove

In the temple (I was an offering)
Of the heartless (there was an offering)
I was humbled (I was an offering)
& reborn...
into a god.

Darling,
a sensitive soul is just,
a tyrant who enslaves,
all those around him,
to make certain he
is hurt, always

I don't need a reason baby,
put your arms around me.
Hold me real close,
CLAP ME IN IRONS,
C'mon Caligulove me,
C'mon Caligulove me.

You can hear it (as an offering)
If you're a good girl (as an offering)
A righteous choir is singing (as an offering...)
No, screaming,
as they burn.

Darling, there are no taboos
in lust.
My veins coarse blood that's so
venomous.
WHEN HEARTLESS HEARS A HEARTBEAT...
he's jealous, so jealous.

I don't need a reason baby,
put your arms around me.
Hold me real close,
clap me in irons,
c'mon Caligulove me.

I already gotcha baby,
put yourself upon me.
I'm in lust,
a slave to desire,
when you Caligulove me.
C'mon on,
love me.
Hold me real close....
love me.
I need your Caligulove girl.
Caligulove.

12-Gunman

Gunman,
bloodshot eyes.
Gunman,
grain of sand.
Sisters,
could not speak.
Father,
is a holy ghost.
and there's lions
in a cage.

It don't matter, don't try to explain,
you're just another dog to be trained,
choke chained.
You're gonna end up under tooth and nail.
If you catch a tiger by the tail,
don't fail.

Brother,
does not dream
anymore.
Sisters,
Could not sleep.
Transformation incomplete,
mercy killing, those counting sheep.
I'm a trigger, quick to fire,
punctuate betwixt the eyes
and you're clever...
it ain't gonna help you.

Violence is just an incomplete thought,
coming to a complete stop,
stop.
You're so clever you'll tear us apart,
then masquerade it as art.
Not smart.
If you can help anyone, help yourself,
that's unless you hate yourself,
then don't help.

Angry ants are crawling,
makes you wanna scream.

Lions clawing,
building up steam.
Flesh and bone have no persuasion,
this is the path to my destination.
Gunman,
where you been?
You're my
hero,
savior,
psycho,
slayer.

Follow the leader yet lead 'em the same.
Slugs punctuate the refrain,
come again?
It don't matter, don't try to explain.
You're just a dog to be trained,
choke chained.
You gonna end up under tooth & nail.
If you catch a tiger by the tail,
Don't fail.
I wanna go blind, wanna stare at the sun.
De-evolution.

13-Spinning in Daffodils

Once,
out in the rain
I was able to strangle my shadow,
then unshackle the chains.
What?
What will you do?
Is it safe to play god in the garden and king of the zoo?
Holes,
well they need to be filled.
Positions available,
yet some are quite hard to get out of or get in.

Spinning in the daffodils.
Dizzy from a dozen twirls.

Cold,
alone and alive.
You're afraid, But that's not what I asked,
wanna go for a ride?
Sharpen your teeth my darlings,
sharpen your minds.
Take a finger, if the hand feeds you shit,
take one scalp at a time.

Fail,
as big as a whale.
Like a canine that's chasing a bone
that's tied to his tail.

I wish I was a beautiful balloon.
I would rise up
above of it all,
& fade out of view.
Gracefully out of view.
What have you turned me into?

What have you gone
and done
my love?
Incinerated in the morning sun.

I...
am so high
I just may never come down.
