xXx LYRICS xXx
"Helena"
Long
ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you strike
to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you
break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's
the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came
a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you
take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well
I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So
long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long
and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll
meet again
When both our cars collide?
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better
if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I
stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
"Give 'Em Hell, Kid"
Oh
baby here comes the sound!
I took a train outta New Orleans and they shot me full of ephedrine.
This is how we like
to do it in the murder scene.
Can we settle up the score?
[Chorus]
If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So
go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're beautiful!
Well I'm a total wreck
and almost every day.
Like the firing squad or the mess you made.
Well don't I look pretty walking down the street.
In the best damn dress I own?
[Chorus]
If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your
life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause I mean this more
than words can ever say.
Some might say we are made from the sharpest things you say
We are young and we don't
care.
Your dreams and your hopeless hair.
We never wanted it to be this way.
For all our lives.
Do you care at
all?
[Chorus]
If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more
than I did yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say.
(Won't
you tell me?)
(Well, there's no way I'm kissing that guy)
"To The End"
He
calls the mansion not a house but a tomb.
He's always choking from the stench and the fume.
The wedding party all collapsed
in the room.
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom.
Let's go down!
This elevator only goes up to ten.
He's
not around.
He's always looking at men
Down by the pool.
He doesn't have many friends.
As they are
Face down
and bloated snap a shot with the lens.
If you marry me,
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?
(So
say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the heart you break
And
all the cyanide you drank.
She keeps a picture of the body she lends.
Got nasty blisters from the money she spends.
She's
got a life of her own and it shows by the Benz
She drives at 90 by the Barbies and Kens.
If you ever say never too late.
I'll forget all the diamonds you ate.
Lost in coma and covered in cake.
Increase the medication.
Share the vows
at the wake.
(Kiss the bride)
If you marry me,
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?
(So
say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the heart you break
And
all the cyanide you drank.
(And say goodbye) to the last parade
(And walk away) from the choice you made
(And
say goodnight) to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
(So say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And
say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
(And
say goodbye) to the last parade
(And walk away) from the choice you made
(And say goodnight) to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank.
To the last parade
When the parties fade
And the choice you made
To the
End.
"You Know What They
Do To Guys Like Us In Prison"
In the middle of a gun fight...
In the center of a restaurant...
They say, "Come with your arms raised high!"
Well, they're never gonna get me,
And like a bullet through a flock
of doves...
To wage this war against your faith in me,
Your life...will never be the same.
On your mother's eyes,
say a prayer...say a prayer!
[Chorus]
Now, but I can't
And I don't know
How we're just two men
as God had made us,
Well, I can't...well, I can!
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart
for your dying wish,
I'll kiss your lips again.
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost,
My cellmate's
a killer, they made me do push-ups (in drag)
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself...am I losing myself?!
Well,
I miss my mom,
Will they give me the chair,
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare;
Ah, nobody
knows...all the trouble I've seen!
[Chorus]
To your room...
What they ask of you
Will make
you want to say, "So long..."
Well, I don't remember,
Why remember...YOU?!
Do you have the keys to the hotel?!
'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire! (FIRE!!)
Life is but a dream for the dead,
And well I, I
won't go down by myself,
But I'll go down with my friends.
Now now now now...now now now...now now now!!
"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)"
Well
if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
For
all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second
floor?
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's
not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm
not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take
a good hard look!
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The
photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed
I'm okay
I'm
okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I
mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm
not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)
"The Ghost Of You"
I
never said I'd lie in wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try
At
the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And
all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever...
Ever...
Get the feeling that
you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies
At the end of
the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? should I?
And all
the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming
home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch
me
If I fall
If I fall (down)
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming
home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And
all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the
wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...
"The Jetset Life Is
Gonna Kill You"
Gaze into her killing jar I'd sometimes stare for hours (sometimes stare for hours).
She
even poked the holes so I can breathe.
She bought the last line.
I'm just the worst kind.
Of guy to argue.
With
what you might find.
And for the last night I lie.
Could I lie with you?
[Chorus:]
Alright
Give
up
Get down. It's just the hardest part of living.
Alright
She wants
It all to come down this time.
Lost
in the prescription she's got something else in mind (something else in mind).
Check into the Hotel Bella Muerte.
It
gives the weak flight.
It gives the blind sight.
Until the cops come.
Or by the last light.
And for the last night
I lie.
Could I lie next to you?
[Chorus x2]
Pull the plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
When
holding on.
Well I hope you do the same.
Awww sugar.
Slip into this tragedy you've spun this chamber dry.
[Chorus
x2]
Pull the plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
And holding on.
Well I hope you do the same.
Awww
sugar.
"Interlude"
Since
we talked to her now
come angels of the lord,
come angels of the lord.
"Thank You For The
Venom"
Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it, or leave
it, you can't understand
A pretty face, but you do so carry on,
and on,
and on
I wouldn't front the scene
if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me, on,
and on,
and on,
and on
Love is the red of
the rose on your coffin door
What's life like, bleeding on the floor,
the floor,
the floor
You'll never
make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
[Chorus]
So give me all your
poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after
something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
Preach all you want but who's
gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book you gave me, hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the
serpent son
It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you one,
and one,
and one,
and one
You'll never
make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
[Chorus]
So give me all your
poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after
something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
You wanna follow something
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need
Give me a reason to believe
[Chorus x2]
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And
give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If
this is what you want
Then fire at will
"Hang 'Em High"
Wait
until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well, I've got something to say
Grab your six-gun
from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades
Shotgun sinners
Wild
eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while i'm holding on
After all is said and done
Climb out from the
pine box
Well I'm asking you
'Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue
Call her black
Mariah
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right in the brain
Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the
grace of God
Gun it while I'm holding on
But don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury
me and fade to black
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
So
get your gun and meet me by the door
[x3]
She won't stop me put it down
She won't stop me put it down
She
won't stop me put it down
So baby...
Don't stop if I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me
and fade to black
[x2]
"It's Not A Fashion
Statement, It's A Deathwish"
For what you did to me,
and what I'll do to you,
you get, what everyone
else gets,
you get a lifetime!
Let's go!
Do you remember that day when we met
you told me this gets
harder
well it did!
been holding on forever,
promise me that when I'm gone you'll kill my enemies,
the damage
you've inflicted temporary wounds
I'm coming back from the dead and I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life
you stole
We never got that far,
this helps me to think all through the night
bright lights that, won't kill
me now, or tell me how
just you and I, your starless eyes remain.
Hip Hip Hooray for me, you talk to me, but would
you kill me in my sleep
lay still like the dead
from the razor to the rosary
we could lose ourselves
and paint
these walls in pitchfork red
I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take
I'm coming back from the dead and I'll
take you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole
This hole that you put me in
wasn't deep enough
and
I'm climbing out right now
you're running out of places to hide from me
when you go
just know that I will remember
you
if living was the hardest part
we'll then one day be together
and in the end we'll fall apart
just as the
leaves changing colors
and then I will be with you
I will be there one last time now
when you go
just know
that I will remember you
I lost my fear of falling
I will be with you
I will be with you
"Cemetery Drive"
this
night, walk the dead
in a solitary style
and crash the cemetery gates.
in the dress your husband hates
way down,
mark the grave
where the search lights find us
drinking by the mausoleum door
and they found you on the bathroom
floor
i miss you, i miss you so far
and the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
back home, off the
run
singing songs that make you slit your wrists
it isn't that much fun, staring down a loaded gun
so i won't stop
dying, won't stop lying
if you want i'll keep on crying
did you get what you deserve?
is this what you always want
me for?
i miss you, i miss you so far
and the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
i miss you, i miss you so far
and the collision
of your kiss that made it so hard
i miss you, i miss you so far
and the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
made
it so hard
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down, way down
way down
"I Never Told You What
I Do For a Living"
Stay out of the light
Or the photographs that I gave you
You can say a prayer
if you need to
Or just get in line and I'll grieve you
Can I meet you, alone
Another night and I'll see you
Another
night and I'll be you
Some other way to continue
To hide my face
[Chorus:]
Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so
dirty babe
The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes
I keep a book of the names and those
Only
goes so far 'til you bury them
So deep and down we go
Touched by angels, though I fall out of grace
I did it
all so maybe I'd live this every day
[Chorus:]
Another
knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty babe
It ain't the money and
it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It's for the bodies I claim and lose
Only goes so far 'til you bury them
So
deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down
I
tried
I tried
And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
We'll love again, we'll laugh again
And
it's better off this way
And never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And
we're all dead now.
Well never again,and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're
all dead now.
Well I tried
One more night
One more night
well I'm laughin', cryin', laughin'
I tried,
well I tried, well I tried,
'Cause I tried, but I lied
I lied
I tried
I tried
I tried
And we'll
love again and we'll laugh again
We'll cry again and we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
So much better
off this way
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed
And never again, and never again
They gave us
two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
