its okay mosquito I'll try to be your friend
i know that sucking blood is just a means to an end
you wish you could be beautiful and make honey like the bees
they spend their time with flowers
we'll spend our time with weeds
mosquito
i think i'm waking up
i think i'm waking up
i think i'm waking up
me and my friends prefer to keep it small
leave your body at the door, don't bring your brain at all
take your tv to the roof and throw it on the ground
we wont have a problem til the 'me's come around
i think im waking up
i think im waking up
i think im waking up

lemonade money i need money for lemonade
i spend a hundred a day
feeding my habit drinkin lemonade
i built a house out of mud
and had some lemonade when i was done
listen up pilgrim i need all your bread i got business to attend to
give it up clean or face the music i dont want to have to hurt you
slam my fists down on the pavement all my moneys spent
on something new for someone else how am i gonna pay my rent
lemonade money i need money for lemonade

said the circle to the square
i see you standing over there
how do you keep your back so straight
you're everything i'm supposed to hate
who could ask for more?
said the tortoise to the hare
where you will brave i would not dare
wish i could tiptoe on the water
wish i was careful like my father
who could ask for more?
is it raining is it snowing is a hurricane ablowing?
is it raining is it snowing is a hurricane ablowing?
said the actress to the priest
i have sinned again this week
if i meet you half past seven
can i turn tricks to get to heaven?
who could ask for more?

Salamander

I went out
to the water
I found a salamander
and he was made of earth
he said
I live underwater
only half the time
because i'm not really sure
where exactly I belong
I ran out
of the theatre
the dream was too familiar to me
i ran out
i found a bug
he was shiny and green
he told me things of beauty and of
things i've never seen
i ran out
of church on sunday morning
the sun was way too bright
it really hurt my eyes
the sermon was about pain
but the needle in my brain
wont stop pumping junk through my veins
and that preacher dont know shit
i fell out
of my mind
i tried to jump a pop can
i fell off my bike
lying there on the ground
i fell face to face
with that salamander
he looked right in my eyes and said
all gods creatures are small in their own way
i only breathe air, but i'm underwater
what does it mean?
why did i turn green?
I am made of earth

Knife Games

|
i don't play knife games anymore
I stabbed a finger or two too hard
til it bled
til it wept
i dont play knife games anymore
i worry about what my mother would say
all the scars
make up
my hands
down to the bone

Reprise

|
I have been a cactus
and i have been a bug
and i have been the bones
that you swept under the rug
i have been a villain
and i have been a saint
and ill be all of you
just so i can feel your pain
i am always searching
and i am always found
i am the first to leave
and the last to hang around
