Hell is a place called home
I didn't wake up this morning
and here's what happened next
I stayed in bed, I lost my head
I gave you head instead
The whole point, the soul point, the sole point of it all
is that between us, nobody's seen us,
we don't really have to ponder it all
Chorus:
Hell is a place called home
for those who want it to be
Much as you'd like that
it isn't gonna be me
There's just too much to be
I'm gonna make you see
you can be what you want to be
Today's whatever I make it
There's only one thing to be
That is to be who I want
Everything else we'll see
The whole point, the soul point, the sole point of it all
is in the end your only friend
will be the one who has to answer your call
There will be noone, and I mean noone
there to take you to the ball
You know who has to answer your call
Chorus:
Hell is a place called home
for those who want it to be
Much as you'd like that
it isn't gonna be me
There's just too much to be
I'm gonna make you see
you can be what you want to be
Chorus:
Hell is a place called home
for those who want it to be
Much as you'd like that
it isn't gonna be me
There's just too much to be
Be what you want to be

Loonies

Loonies
The gifts I gave you Friday night
They should have made it all alright
You took the book, you cast a spell
You bitch from hell
You stole the ring, you sordid thing
You turned it into someone else's thing
You got the look, you know it well
You bitch from hell
You bitch from hell
Chorus:
Die in someone else's corner
Leave the morning to the mourner
The loss your beauty takes to town
Will crown my frown
All you took and gave away
The life I lost on Saturday
Did not know, could not tell
You bitch from hell
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Grab a basket, found a case
Take yourself another place
It is where the loonies go
I'll go find a different show
Repeat chorus 2x

Common cold

Common cold
There's nothing common
about my cold
the last time I saw you
I didn't feel this damn old
but that's how it is today
As I recall
before life took a fall
I was floating
on top of the world
well that fell away
Now, as my strongholds
are seeping away
creeping disaster
is gaining the day
Who cares what cowards think?
I know your fragrance
I know your lies
I've been close to
every one of your tries
and while you really believe
this is the way
fog is a lifting phenomenon
wait for it to clear
Now help me my dear
What's on the common
that I see a-coming
is it the debris
left, of your soul?
Or is it really
the bright blessed day
the one you've been waiting for
all this time
When they took you away
was this what you wanted to say
Were you just waiting
to be whole?

Half today

Half today
Feet hurt, face burns
Face sleet and snow
Face drawn, curtains real
Few hundred feet to go
And you know silence
Find your own highlands
There is the urge to scream
This is no bloody dream
Limbs limp, limb limpid
Too hot to burn
Dried up, all soaked
More thirst at every turn
And you can whistle
Sing at every thistle
Chorus:
But why wait for the moment
Fear is a real bad omen
Half today's already been
Now can never be a sin
Head frets, back lacks
Break into run
Zip off half slacks
Burn into sun
And you know silence
Find your own highlands
But there's the urge to scream
This is no bloody dream
There is the urge to scream
Let it not be a dream
Bridge (solo)
Chorus (reversed):
Half today's already been
Now can never be a sin
Why wait for the moment
Fear is a real bad omen
Half today's already been

The god I travel with (for Thor)
The god I travel with
told me today
there's no real reason
to drive nations away
there's no real reason
to do that to anyone anyway
not your cat, not the woman next door
not your bowels, not the blood on the floor
not the rain not the acheing inside
not your pain
not the secrets you hide
There is no reason
because it's treason
to defeat yourself
Chorus:
The god I travel with is ALWAYS right
that's what I told him
that's how I sold him
on the dreams that keep you awake at night
I got the feeling
it sent him reeling
So don't you go there
don't you know where there's a god there's a way
You be nice to your people today
There is no reason
because it's treason
to defeat yourself
Chorus:
The god I travel with is ALWAYS right
that's what I told him
that's how I sold him
on the dreams that keep you awake at night
I got the feeling
it sent him reeling
So don't you go there
don't you know where there's a god there's a way
You be nice to your people today
Be nice to your people today
- be nice anyway.
