Took to higher ground but it was low, so low
Tried to get there fast, but it was slow, so slow
Laid it all on the line but had no luck, had no luck
Tried to strike a pose but I got stuck, I got stuck
What can I say
I like fucking things up

Barren Times

I stood on stilts to stand out
I stooped to low-grade trickery
I ran great roads and I walked on tightropes
In the hope you'd notice me
Barren, barren times are these
Won't you come and help me please
Barren, barren times are these
Til you my love
You discover me
You discover me
Was it old Ferdy Magellan
Setting forth on open waves?
Looking for the spicy islands
Not the cute canaries
Oh lady come to me
Abandon all these rogues you meet
On this map there's an X you see
Where you my love
You discover me
Storm this treasury
Barren, barren times are these
Train a looking glass on me
Barren, barren times are these
Til you my love
You discover me
What a discovery
Barren, barren times are these
The future's here for you and me
Barren, barren times are these
Til you my love
You discover me
You discover me
Baby

Heroes

One man among us
One man is king
Everybody oohs and ahhs
At his great feats
Hail, hail to hero
The glorious hero
Hail, hail to the hero today
One man he charms us
His selfless deeds
Will give a helping hand
To those in need
Hail hail say the judges
Hail hail says the priests
Hail hail to the hero, today
Hail hail say the judges
Hail hail says the priests
Hail hail to the hero, today
We'll build you a statue
Cos we adore you
Will we be like you some day
Hail, hail to the hero
Hail, hail to the hero
Hail, hail to the hero, today
Oh gee Maggie it's Ozymandias

My Last Victim

Hey friend you're looking kinda bored
Let's get out of here
I know of the perfect place
We can go and grab a beer
It's down past the railroad tracks
The other side of town
Don't tell any of your friends
We don't want them around
I wasted time, time wasted me
Hey friend you're looking kind of sad
I'm as happy as can be
You're lost and you are all alone
And it's just you me
We went to the other side of town
And passed the railroad tracks
Don't cry, there's nobody near by
And you ain't ever coming back
I wasted time, time wasted me
I'm wearing the clothes of my last victim
And my victim is you
And my victim
Is you

Come now daughter dear
Let me tell you everything
About the man I fear
He's come to take you for his own
My acts
My deeds
My sins
My sorrow
A long long time ago
I took from him all that he had
And now that he's returned
He'll take you by your snow white hand
My acts
My deeds
My sins
My sorrow
My sorrow
Your sorrow
Our sorrow

Welcome to
All the problems you neglected to think through
Welcome back
Just in time to think about your absence and your lack
That shit is whack
I don't give a damn about that band Massive Attack
I'm coming through
Don't disrespect me because that's just how I do
I hope you die you piece of shit
I hope you die you piece of shit
I truly though that I had a place inside your prayer
Silly me
And then the scales fell from my eyes
And I can see
Drive by your house and you're not home but that's Ok
Because I'm free
I hope you die you piece of shit
I hope you die you piece of shit

Holes

Have you seen the holes in the wall
I made them yesterday
To capture your view through a craggy lens
For posterity
I've been around
How you been today?
Well the wind may blow
But the dust it still remains
Yeah yeah
Send me home today, my love
I won't push away again
Send me home today
Today
Have you seen the holes in the ground
I'm stuck in them today
My eyes are glued
My demeanor's shot
And you've started taunting me
I can't move around
So be off and let me be
Well the wind may blow
But it can't shake me free
Yeah yeah
Send me home today, my love
I won't push away again
Send me home today
Today

Black Hearts

I bought you overcoats
I bought you underwear
I bought everything between
But as I was dressing you up
You were dressing me down
And told me what you thought of me
(I told you what I thought of you)
Is that exactly what you mean?
(that's exactly what I mean)
Baby, how will I know
When your love is ready to go?
It's time to show your hand
Black hearts together we'll stand.
My mother always told me
To follow my heart
And that's exactly what I did
But as I tracked you down
You tripped me up
And pushed me into a ditch
(I pushed you into that ditch)
Oh what a minor glitch
(That's exactly what I did)
Oh baby, it's about time
Take my hand and tell me you're mine
I'm sure that you'll be inclined
Black hearts let's leave them behind
Black hearts
