01. high & dry

two jumps in a week i bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy
flying on your motorcycle
watching all the ground beneath you drop
you'd kill yourself for recognition
kill yourself to never ever stop
you broke another mirror
you're turning into something you are not
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
drying up in conversation
you will be the one who cannot talk & all your insides fall to pieces
you just sit there wishing you could still make love
they're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out
they're the ones who'll spit at you
you will be the one screaming out
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
it's the best thing that you ever had
it's the best thing that you ever had
the best thing that you've had has gone away

seen all the good things and bad
running down the hill
all so battered and brought to the ground
i am hungry again
i am drunk again
with all the money i owe to my friends
and when i'm like this
how can you be smiling and singing
how can you be sure?
how can you be sure?
if you walk out the door
will i see you again?
if so much of me lies in your eyes
i am hungry again
i am drunk again
with all the money i owe to my friends
when i'm like this
how can you be smiling and singing
how can you be sure?
i don't want you anymore
i don't want you
i don't want you
i don't want you anymore

he's bitter and twisted
he knows what he wants
he wants to be loved  and he wants to belong
he wants us to listen
he wants us to weep
and he was a stupid baby who turned into a powerful freak
but how do you?
how do you?
how do you?
he lives with his mother, but we show him respect
he's a dangerous bigot
but we always forget
and he's just like his daddy
because he cheats on his friends
and he steals and he bullies
anyway that he can
but how do you?
how do you?
how do you?
 

i was stronger
i was better
picked you out
now don't say a word
no don't yell out
never mind
let you out
led you back
stay on
sit down
let it fall
let it fall
let it fall
let it fall

that there
that's not me
i go, where i please
i walk through walls
i float down the liffey
i'm not here
this isn't happening
i'm not here
i'm not here
in a little while i'll be gone
the moment's already passed
yeah, it's gone
yeah, it's gone
yeah, it's gone
strobe lights and blown speakers
fireworks and hurricanes
i'm not here
this isn't happening
i'm not here
i'm not here
i'm not here
