The Carousel Horse

I have a song stuck in my head
it goes round and round
like a carousel horse.

A pretty pink pony
with dead, lifeless eyes
riding the music
inside of my mind.

I have a song, stuck in my head
it goes round and round
like a carousel horse.

It goes up and down
as the carousel turns
its dead lifeless eyes
blind to delight.

I have a song, stuck in my head
it goes round and round
like a carousel horse.

Its pretty pink hide
is starting to crack
as it rises and falls
moving forwards and back.

I have a song, stuck in my head
it goes round and round
like a carousel horse.

A pretty pink pony,
breaking apart,
filling the air with
glitter and death.

I had a song, stuck in my head
it went round and round
like a carousel horse.

Now the pretty pink pony
with dead lifeless eyes
lies shattered and still,
the music is gone.

The Toy Collector

You have a collection,
a box full of toys,
conquests of affection,
you mostly ignore.

But every once in a while,
when the stars are just right,
you open the box,
bring the toys to the light.

Do you remember their names?
Their stories? Their dreams?
You played games with their hearts,
that left them on their knees.

Some begged for mercy, for love,
for release. But you never give,
you just take, like a thief.

You're grasping and greedy,
thoughless to the bone,
a charming psychopath
with a heart like a stone.

I pity your toys, 
your girls and your boys,
but don't hold my breath, 
hoping you will get yours.

The light starts to fade,
the moon drops in the west,
you put your toys away,
and go seek your rest.

You have a collection,
a box full of toys,
conquests of affection,
you mostly ignore.

BURN, BABY, BURN

Saturday night and I'm all alone,
nothing to do but remember and burn,
thinking of you, and glad that we're done
you were heaven and hell rolled into one.

I'm glad that we're done.
I'll be glad when you're dead.
Because maybe that day,
you'll stop haunting my head!

Burn, baby, burn!

I listen to music, I think of you,
regretting my choices, but what could I do?
I thought you were perfect, a total ten.
What can I say? I was stupid back then.

I'm glad that we're done.
I'll be glad when you're dead.
Because maybe that day,
you'll stop haunting my head!

Burn, baby, burn!

I only think of you, when I'm on the drink,
the rest of the time, you're not worth the think.
I am not bitter and I'm rarely sad,
when I remember dumping you, I'm just glad.

I'm glad that we're done.
I'll be glad when you're dead.
Because maybe that day,
you'll stop haunting my head!

Burn, baby, burn!

Storm clouds gather on the horizon!
The wind blows hot and cold!
Don't cover your eyes! Don't lower your head!

Burning through the sky!
Hotter than the fuckin' sun!

Oh baby, don't you worry!
Just put down the top, turn up the rock,
'n go out in a blaze of glory!

Burning through the sky!
Hotter than the fuckin' sun!
We're like lightning!
Gone in a flash!
So come along n' have some fun!

We're like lightning!
Gone in a flash!
So come along 'n have some fun!
We're like lightning!
Burning through the sky!
Hotter than the fuckin' sun!

BREAK THE WORLD

Sometimes, I wanna break the world
like the way you broke my heart.
Sometimes, it feels like everything's broken,
because we're now apart.

Time has passed, but the wounds still fresh,
scraped raw by the lonely nights.
When I can't help but remember the good times,
before all we did was fight.

Sometimes, I wanna break the world
like the way you broke my heart.
Sometimes, it feels like everything's broken,
because we're now apart.

My life's a picture, a frozen photo,
just fading in the sun.
I can't move forward, I'm losing ground,
even though I know we're done.

Sometimes, I wanna break the world,
like the way you broke my heart.
Sometimes, it feels like everything's broken,
because we're now apart.

Now the light is dying as the memories fade.
Is that kind? Or is it cruel?
Did you ever love me? Were we ever real?
Or was I just your fool?

Sometimes, I wanna break the world,
like the way you broke my heart.
Sometimes, it feels like everything's broken,
because we're now apart.

Sometimes, it feels like everything's broken,
because we're now apart.
