Ruin

I've seen gypsies who made it all the way

And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go

Nowhere to go.

As far as I've seen, from the bush

In the wilderness, to every known city

I've been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta

So I went to Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome

Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain

Belfast, to the desert, Spain

Some little bitty island in the middle of the Ṗacific

All the way back home, to my town

To my town

Bitching, complaining, yet some people who ain't got sh*t to eat

Bitching, moaning, so many people you know what they got

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

As far as I've seen, from the bush

In the wilderness, to every known city

I've been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta

So I went to Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome

Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain

Belfast, to the desert, Spain

Some little bitty island in the middle of the Ṗacific

All the way back home, to my town

To my town

Bitching, complaining, yet some people who ain't got sh*t to eat

Bitching, moaning, so many people you know what they got

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

What are we doing?

We're sitting on a ruin

Metal Heart

Losing the star without a sky 

Losing the reasons why 

You're losing the calling that you've been faking 

And I'm not kidding 

It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do 

Be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo 

Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin to prove 

By hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing 

Sew your fortunes on a string 

And hold them up to light 

Blue smoke will take 

A very violent flight 

And you will be changed 

Sand everything 

And you will be in a very sad sad zoo. 

I once was lost but now I'm found was blind 

But now I see you 

How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming 

Metal heart you're not hiding 

Metal heart you're not worth a thing 

Metal heart you're not hiding 

Metal heart you're not worth a thing 

Back of your head 

Big monster 

Big monster lover 

A bigger pusher over 

Stands alone in most walks of life 

Walks alone in most walks in life 

See you looking through me 

Like you've unzipped the zipper 

You hold the big picture so well 

Can't you see that we're going to hell 

Couldn't park that fucking car 

Couldn't part from you 

Saw the back of your sweet mother's head 

Now I know that she thinks I am dead 

Burnt flavor you hold the big picture so well 

Can't you see that we're going to hell 

Big monster lover 

A bigger pusher over 

Stands alone in most walks of life 

Walks alone in most walks in life

Naked if I want to

Would you let me walk down your street

Naked if I want to?

Can I fire fireworks on the fourth of every single July?

Can I buy an amplifier, oh, on time?

My sweet time

Well I ain't got no money

I will pay this time

And I ain't got no money

But I will pay you before I die

And would you let me walk down your streets

Naked if we all wanted to?

Can I fire fireworks on the fourth of every single July?

Can I buy an aeroplane way up high in the old blue sky?

Well I got no mercy

I will pay this time

And I got no mercy

I will pay you before I die
