Placebo - Placebo Come Home Stuck between the do or die, I feel emaciated. Hard to breathe I try and try, I'll get asphyxiated. Swinging from the tallest height, with nothing left to hold on to. Every sky is blue, but not for me and you. Come home, come home, come home, come home. Glass and petrol vodka gin, it feels like breathing methane. Throw yourself from skin to skin, and still it doesn't dull the pain. Vanish like a lipstick trace, it always blows me away. Every cloud is grey, with dreams of yesterday. Come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home. Always goes against the grain, and I can try and deny it Give a monkey half a brain, and still he's bound to fry it. Now the happening scene is dead, I used to want to be there too. Every sky is blue, but not for me and you. Come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home, come home. Teenage Angst Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes. Like the roadkill, I'm paralysed. You see through my disguise At the drive-in, double feature, pull the lever, break the fever and say your last goodbyes. Since I was born I started to decay. Now nothing ever ever goes my way One fluid gesture, like stepping back in time. Trapped in amber, petrified. And still not satisfied Airs and social graces, elocution so divine. I'll stick to my needle, and my favourite waste of time, both spineless and sublime. Since I was born I started to decay. Now nothing ever - ever goes my way. Bionic Harder faster, forever after, harder faster, forever after, harder faster, forever after, forever after. None of you can make the grade, none of you can make the grade, none of you can make the grade, none of you can make the grade. Harder faster, forever after, harder faster, forever after, harder faster, forever after, forever after. None of you can make the grade, none of you can make the grade, none of you can make the grade, none of you can make the grade. 36 Degrees We were tight, but it falls apart as silver turns to blue. Waxing with a candlelight, and burning just for you. Allocate your sentiment, and stick it in a box. I've never been an extrovert, but i'm still breathing. Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of) With hindsight, I was more than blind, lost without a clue. Thought I was getting carat gold, and what I got was you. Stuck inside the circumstances, lonely at the top. I've always been an introvert happily bleeding. Someone tried to do me ache (it's what i'm afraid of) 4 7 2 3 9 8 5 - I gotta breathe to stay alive, and 1 4 2 9 7 8 - feels like I'm gonna suffocate. 14 16 22 - this skin that turns to blister blue. Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees, shoulders toes and knees,I'm 36 degrees, shoulder toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees, shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees.
