Taste In Men

Come back to me a while
Change your style again
Come back to me a while
Change your taste in men

It's been this way since Christmas Day
Dazzled, doused in gin
Change your taste in men

Come back to me a while
Change your style again
Come back to me a while
Change your taste in men

I'm killing time on Valentine's
Waiting for the day to end
Change your taste in men

Come back to me a while
Change your style again
Come back to me a while
Change your taste in men

It's been this way since Christmas Day
Dazzled, doused in gin
Change your taste in men (repeat)

Days before you came
Freezing cold and empty
Towns that change their name
And a horn of plenty
Days before you came
Counting breaths inside me
Even crack - cocaine
Couldn't start to hide me

Won't you join me now
Baby's looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Won't you join me now
Baby's looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

Days before you came
It always seemed enticing
To be naked and profane
There is no denying
Days before you came
Thunderbolts and lightning
Each day a brand new vein
Each tourniquet colliding

I didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway

Won't you join me now
Baby's looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
Won't you join me now
Baby's looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway
Didn't want you anyway

Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
More than just a leitmotif
More chaotic, no relief
I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
Can this savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand

Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping, not for free
I fall down
Hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

I'll describe the way I feel
You're my new Achille's heel
Can this savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand

Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping, not for free
I fall down
Hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity, gravity, gravity, gravity

Revolution, dope, guns, fucking in the streets
Revolution, dope, guns, fucking in the streets

Aces take your time
Queens are left for dead
Jacks can stand in line
And touch themselves instead
Aces take your pity
And keep it warm in bed
Aces take your time

Cut the deck
The queens left for dead
Soft and wet
Scarf tied to the bed
Jack is all tragic
When he stands alone
Feeling demonic harmonic
And in a no-go-zone
You look well suited
Like you came to win
Lust, spite and malice
Your degrees of sin
Cruising for pity
And looking as pretty as fuck
Ace take your chances
Queen wish you luck

Aces take your time
Draw your final breath
Jacks are feeling fine
They've clubbed themselves to death
Aces take your pity
You sleep with it instead
Aces take your time

You can play your card
I'll hold on to mine
Tied up in the reasons
Ace take your time
Looks turn to lovers
Flames into fires
Jack loves his tragedy
Queen her desires
You look well suited
Like you came to win
Lust, spite and malice
Your degrees of sin
Wrap me in your trauma
And I may just give you mine
Queen take your chances
Ace take your time

Dope, guns, fucking in the streets
Revolution
Everything will blow tonight
Either friend or foe tonight

Cut the deck
The queens left for dead
Soft and wet
Scarf tied to the bed
Jack is all tragic
When he stands alone
Feeling demonic harmonic
And in a no-go-zone
You look well suited
Like you came to win
Lust, spite and malice
Your degrees of sin
Cruising for pity
And looking as pretty as fuck
Ace take your chances
Queen wish you luck

Dope, guns, fucking in the streets
Revolution
Everything will blow tonight
Either friend or foe tonight

It's in your reach
Concentrate
It's in your reach
Concentrate
If you deny this
Then it's your fault
That God's in crisis
He's over

It's in your reach
Concentrate
It's in your reach
Concentrate
If you deny this
Then it's your fault
That God's in crisis
He's over

Every time I rise
I see you falling
Can you find me space
Inside your bleeding heart
Every time I rise
I see you falling
Can you find me space
Find me space

It's in your reach
Concentrate
It's in your reach
Concentrate
If you deny this
Then it's your fault
That God's in crisis
He's over

Every time I rise
I see you falling
Can you find me space
Inside your bleeding heart
Every time I rise
I see you falling
Can you find me space
Inside you bleeding heart
It falls apart
It falls apart
Falls apart

Every time I rise
I see you falling
Can you find me space
Inside your bleeding heart
Every time I rise
I see you falling
Can you find me space
Inside you bleeding heart
It falls apart
It falls apart
Falls apart

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderline bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts
I was never grateful
That's why I spend my days alone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home
Broken home

Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home
Broken home

Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed
Black-eyed, broken home
Black-eyed, broken home
Black-eyed, broken home
Black-eyed, broken home

I wrote this novel just for you
It sounds pretentious
But it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
That's why it's vulgar
That's why it's blue

And I say
Thank you
And I say
Thank you

I wrote this novel just for mom
For all the mommy things she's done
For all the times she showed me wrong
For all the time she sang god's song

And I say
Thank you, mom
Hello, mom
Thank you, mom
Hi, mom

I read a book about Uncle Tom
Where a whitey bastard made a bomb
But now Ebonics rule our song
Those motherfuckers got it wrong

And I ask
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
You are

I read a book about the self
Said I should get expensive help
Go fix my head
Create some wealth
Put my neurosis on the shelf
But I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care

I wrote this novel just for you
I'm so pretentious
Yes, it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
Just for you
Just for you

Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom
And wave your worries
And cares, goodbye
All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts
A little vision
To wave your worries
And cares goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

Sick and tired of Maggie's farm
She's a bitch, with broken arms to wave
Your worries and cares goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

Run away (repeat)

You're the one who's always choking Trojan
You're the one who's always bruised and broken
Sleep may be the enemy
But so's another line
It's a remedy
You should take more time

You're the one who's always choking Trojan
You're the one who's shower's always golden
Spunk and bestiality
Well, it's an Assissi lie
It's ahead of me
You should close your fly

I understand the fascination
The dream that comes alive at night
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die
You'll die
Don't die
Don't die
Please don't die

You're the one who's always choking Trojan
You're the one who's always bruised and broken
Drunk on immorality
Valium and cherry wine
Coke and ecstasy
You're gonna blow your mind

I understand the fascination
I've even been there once or twice or more
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die
You'll die
Don't die
Don't die
Please don't die
Please don't die
Please don't die
Please don't die

I was hanging from a tree
Unaccustomed to such violence
Jesus looking down on me
I'm prepared for one big silence
How'd I ever end up here
Must be through some lack of kindness
And it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat

At the time they cut me free
I was brimming with defiance
Doctors looking down on me
Breaking every law of science
How'd I ever end up here
A latent strain of color blindness
Then it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat

Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground

As they drag me to my feet
I was filled with incoherence
Theories of conspiracy:
The whole world wants my disappearance
I'll go fighting nail and teeth
You've never seen such perseverance
Gonna make you scared of me
Cause haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat

Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground
Now my feet don't touch the ground

Slip and stumble at my first offences
It's not treason
It's no lie
You talk in paragraphs
I write my sentence
It's not treason
It's no lie

It seemed a place for us to dream
It seemed a place for us to dream

Crush and crumble under your defenses
It's not treason
It's no lie
You frame the photograph
I sit on fences
Change of season
Love can die

It seemed a place for us to dream
It seemed a place for us to dream
It seemed a place for us to dream
It seemed a place for us to dream

If we tear out the tumor
It's later, never sooner
If we tear out the tumor
It's later, never sooner

It seemed a place for us to dream
It seemed a place for us to dream

You'd better keep it in check
Or you'll end up a wreck
And you'll never wake up
You'd better keep it in check
Or you'll end up a wreck
And you'll never wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

It seemed a place for us to dream
It seemed a place for us to dream

You'd better keep it in check
Or you'll end up a wreck
And you'll never wake up
(repeat)

I'm careful not to fall
I have to climb your wall
Cause you're the one
Who makes me feel
Much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I'm weightless
I'm bare
I'm faithless
I'm scared

The face that fills the hole
That stole my broken soul
The one that makes me seem to feel
Much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Troubles with the gear
Nothing left to fear

I'm weightless
I'm bare
I'm faithless
I'm scared
I'm weightless
I'm bare
I'm faithless
I'm scared

With every bet I lost
And every trick I tossed
You're still the one who makes me feel
Much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I'm weightless
I'm bare
I'm faithless
I'm scared
I'm weightless
I'm bare
I'm faithless
I'm scared
(repeat)

Wasted face that swallowed time
With Armageddon crawling
She's insane, this friend of mine
And she's always bawling
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

There's a place within her mind
With rains already falling
She's insane, this friend of mine
And she's always bawling
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

She's preparing for the flood
The deluge and the sliding mud
She's preparing for the flood
Running on black market blood
Black market blood

Wasted face that swallowed time
With Armageddon crawling
She's insane, this friend of mine
And she's always bawling
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

She's preparing for the flood
The deluge and the sliding mud
She's preparing for the flood
Running on black market blood
Black market blood
Black market blood
Black market blood
Black market
