Temtation Waits

I'll tell you something
I am a wolf but
I like to wear sheep's cloathing
I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I'm wating for my moment 
you come on like a drug 
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
and there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before

I'll tell you something
I am a demin
some say my biggest weakness
I have my reasons
call it my defence
becareful what you are wishin'
you come on like a drug 
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
and there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before

you are a secret
a meer possession
I like to keep you guessing
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
and there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before

When I'm not sure what I'm living for
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
When I'm not sure what I'm living for....

I think I'm paranoid

You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove

I think I'm paranoid
and complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking part is easy
All I want is you

I fall down just to give you thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I amp my faith to the sticking pole

I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated
I think I'm paranoid
Too complicated

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking part is easy
All I want is you

I think I'm paranoid...I think I'm paranoid 

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking part is easy
All I want is you

Steal me, deal me
Anyway you heal me
Lend me, take me 
You can never change me
Love me, like me
Go ahead and fight me
Please me, tease me
Go ahead and leave me

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
As I long as I want you, baby
It's alright

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
As I long as I want you, baby
It's alright

When I Grow Up

I never thought, I never thought, I never thought, I never thought 
I never thought, I never thought, I never thought, I never thought 
cut my toung out
I've been caught out
like a giant juggernaut
happy hours, golden  showers, on a cruise to freak you out
we could fly a helicopter
nothing left to talk about
entertain you
celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you
when I grow up, I'll be stable
when I grow up, I'll turn the tables

Trying hard to fit amoung you
floating out to wonderland
unprotected
got her pregnate
down the concequences
when I grow up, I'll be stable
when I grow up, I'll turn the tables
I never thought, I never thought, I never thought, I never thought 
I never thought, I never thought, I never thought, I never thought 

blood and blisters
on my fingers
chaos rules when we're apart
watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gental
when I grow up, I'll be stable
when I grow up, I'll turn the tables
when I grow up,
when I grow up,
when I grow up, I'll turn the tables

don't take affence
don't make amends
rip it all to shreds
and let it go
don't take affence
don't make amends
rip it all to shreds
and let it go

rip it all to shreds
and let it go

Medication

I don't need an education
I learnt all I need from you
they got me on some medication
my point of balance was askew
it keeps ny temperature from rising
my blood is pumping through my veins
somebody get me out of her, i'm tearing at myself
nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else

I ware myself out in the moment
you are asleep when I get home
please don't call me self defendant
you know it cuts me to the bone
it's really not surpising
I hold a force I can't contain
somebody get me out of here, i'm tearing at myself
nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else

And you still call me co-depentant
some how you layed the blame on me
And you still call me co-depentant
some how you layed the blame on me

somebody get me out of here, i'm tearing at myself
I've got to make a point these days to educate myself
somebody get me out of here, i'm tearing at myself
nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else

And you still call me co-depentant
some how you layed the blame on me
And you still call me co-depentant
some how you layed the blame on me
some how you layed the blame on me
some how you layed the blame on me

Special

I'm living without you 
I know all about you 
I have run you down into the ground 
Spread disease about you over town 

I used to adore you 
I couldn't control you 
There was nothing that I wouldn't do 
To keep myself around and close to you 

Do you have an opinion? 
A mind of your own? 
I thought you were special 
I thought you should know 
But I've run out of patience 
I couldn't care less 

I... 
I... 

Do you have an opinion? 
A mind of your own? 
I thought you were special 
I thought you should know 

I used to amuse you 
I knew that I'd lose you 
Now you're here and begging for a chance 
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back 

Do you have an opinion? 
A mind of your own? 
I thought you were special 
I thought you should know 
But I've run out of patience 
I've run out of comments 
I'm tired of the violence 
I couldn't care less 

I'm looking for a new (4x) 

We were the talk of the town (4x) 

I thought you were special (4x)

Hammering In My Head

I'm stressed but you're freestyle 
I'm overworked but I'm undersexed 
I must be made of concrete 
I sign my name across your chest 

Give out the same old answers 
I trot them out for the relatives 
Company tried and tested 
I use the ones that I love the best 

Like an animal you're moving over me 
Like an animal you're moving over me 

When did I get perverted 
I can't remember your name 
I'm growing introverted 
You touch my hand and it's not the same 

This was so unexpected 
I never thought I'd get caught 
Play boomerang with your demons 
Shoot to kill and you'll pop them off 
BANG! BANG! 

Like an animal you're moving over me 
Like an animal you're moving over me 

You should be sleeping my lover 
Tell me what you're dreaming of (all 4x) 

I knew you were mine for the taking 
I knew you were mine for the taking 
I knew you were mine for the taking 
When I walked in the room 

I knew you were mine for the taking 
I knew you were mine for the taking 
Your eyes light up 
When I walk in the room 

A hammering in my head don't stop 
From the bullet train 
From Tokyo to Los Angeles 
I'm leaving you behind 
A flash in the pan 
A storm in a teacup 
A needle in a haystack 
A prize for the winning 
A dead for the raising 
A catch for the chasing 
A jewel for the choosing 
A man for the making in this blistering heat 

Sweat it all out 
Sweat it all out 
With your bedroom eyes and your baby pouts 
Sweat it all out 
In our electric storms and our shifting sands 
Our candy jars and our sticky hands 

Sweat it all out (6x) 

Don't forget what I wrote you then 
And don't forget what I told you then 
And don't forget I that meant to win 
And don't forget your ventolin 
So a hammering in my head don't stop 
In the bullet train from Tokyo to Los Angeles

Push It

I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say you'll help me out

Don't worry baby...don't worry baby
No need to fight
Don't worry baby...don't worry baby
We'll be alright

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches

Push it
Make the beats go higher
Push it
Make the beats go higher

I'm sorry that I hurt you
Please don't ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine

Don't worry baby...don't worry baby
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby...don't worry baby
We'll stay up all night

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches

Push it
Make the beats go higher
Push it
Make the beats go higher

Come on, push it, you can do it
Come on, prove it, nothing to it
Come on, use it, let's get through it
Come on, push it, you can do it

Don't worry baby...don't worry baby
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby...don't worry baby
We'll stay up all night

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches

Push it
Make the beats go higher
Push it (this is the noise that keeps me awake)
Make the beats go higher
Push it
Make the beats go higher
Push it (my head explodes and my body aches)
Make the beats go higher
Push it
Make the beats go higher
Push it (this is the noise that keeps me awake)
Make the beats go higher (my head explodes and my body aches)

Don't worry baby
We'll be alright
Don't worry baby
We'll be alright

Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it

The Trick is To Keep Breathing

She's not the kind of girl 
Who likes to tell the world 
About the way she feels about herself 
She takes a little time in making up her mind 
She doesn't want to fight against the tide 

And lately I'm not the only one 
I say never trust anyone 

Always the one who has to drag her down 
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around 

Can't bear to face the truth 
So sick he cannot move 
And when it hurts he takes it out on you 

And lately I'm not the only one 
I say never trust anyone 

Always the one who has to drag her down 
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around 

The trick is to keep breathing (x2) 

She knows the human heart 
And how to read the stars 
Now everything's about to fall apart 
I won't be the one who's going to let you down 
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around 
I won't be the one who's going to let you down 
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around 

The trick is to keep breathing (7x)

Dumb

I never claimed to be your savior
I said I have a dirty mouth
Stop analysing my behavior
If you're too dumb to work it out

I've got to keep myself together
You know I hate to disappoint
A masochistic lamb to slaughter 
Maybe you missed the point


I'm feeling small
Down in the wars
I don't let it show

Now that you know
What you know
I bet you wish
To let it go
You're a light come
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Maybe I can write a letter
To help me with my self-esteem
You should get to know me better
No one's ever what the seem

I'm feeling slow
Dumber than was
I don't let it show

Now that you know
What you know
I bet you wish
To let it go
You're a light come
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Still don't know what you think of me
Still don't know what you think of me
Still don't know what you think of me
Still don't know what you think of me

Now that you know
What you know
I bet you wish
To let it go
You're a light come
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Now that you know
What you know
You better reap 
What you sew
Now that I'm calm
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Still don't know what you think of me
Still don't know what you think of me
Still don't know what you think of me
Still don't know what you think of me (repeat)
Still don't know what I think of me
Still don't know what you think of me

Sleep Together

I got you crawling up a mountain 
Hanging round my neck 
I got you twisted round my finger 
Crawling round my legs 

The emptiness 
The craziness 
Satisfy this hungriness 

Darling 
How would it feel? 

Chorus: 
If we sleep together 
Will you like me better 
If we come together 
We'll go down forever 
If we sleep together 
Will I like you better 
If we come together 
Prove it now or never 

Make me a pretty person 
Make me feel like I belong 
Make me hard and make me happy 
Make me beautiful 

The emptiness 
The craziness 
Satisfy this hungriness 

Darling 
How would it feel? 

Chorus 

If we sleep together 
Nothing satisfies me baby 
If we sleep together 
I'll wear something pretty baby 
If we sleep together 
Give me what I crave now baby 
If we sleep together 
Save the rest for later baby 
If we sleep together 
You will drive me crazy baby 
If we sleep together 
I save it all for you my baby 
If we sleep together 
If we sleep together

Wicked Ways

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways 
Acted like a lunatic for years 
Lord knows I try to be good 
I'd keep my promises if only I could 
You count your blessings that I can't rely on you 

And I tried (4x) 

Clutch your pictures of the Pope 
Pray to God for love and hope 
Bring the Virgin home for luck 
Bolt the door down, keep it shut 

I've done things I never thought I'd do 
Sure it helps to lose myself in you 
A little time and I'll be all right 
C'mon sugar let's go out tonight 
Forgive your trespasses 
And all that we've been through 

And I tried (8x) 

Clutch your pictures of the Pope 
Pray to God for love and hope 
Bring the Virgin home for luck 
Bolt the door down, keep it shut 

That sinking feeling 
When you are leaving 
All I believed in 
Walks out my door 

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways 
The damage's done, there's nothing left to save 

And I tried (7x) 

Clutch your pictures of the Pope 
(just like I told you) 
Pray to God for love and hope 
(just like I warned you) 
Bring the Virgin home for luck 
(just like I told you) 
Bolt the door down, keep it shut 
(just like I warned you)

You Look So Fine

You look so fine 
I want to break your heart 
And give you mine 
You're taking me over 

It's so insane 
You've got me tethered and chained 
I hear your name 
And I'm falling over 

I'm not like all the other girls 
I can't take it like the other girls 
I won't share it like the other girls 
That you used to know 

You look so fine 

Knocked down 
Cried out 
Been down just to find out 
I'm through 
Bleeding for you 

I'm open wide 
I want to take you home 
We'll waste some time 
You're the only one for me 

You look so fine 
I'm like the desert tonight 
Leave her behind 
If you want to show me 

I'm not like all the other girls 
I won't take it like the other girls 
I won't fake it like the other girls 
That you used to know 

You're taking me over 
Over and over 
I'm falling over 
Over and over 

You're taking me over 
Drown in me one more time 
Hide inside me tonight 
Do what you want to do 
Just pretend happy end 
Let me know let it show 

Ending with letting go (3x) 

Let's pretend, happy end (4x)
