BELOVED FREAK
By
Garbage
***************
You’re not certain when you feel hurt
Get violent when you deal
With how the world drags you along
You’re not alone
Nothing good was ever free
No one gets it, no one sees
So here you stand, beloved freak
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
Sometimes we get so tired and weak
We lose the sky beneath our feet
You’re not alone
Every comet throws an arc
And scars our vision ‘cross the dark
When we’re gone we will remain
You’re not alone
People lie and people steal
They misinterpret how you feel
And so we doubt and we conceal
You’re not alone
Don’t worry for me
Just think of yourself, think of yourself
Don’t worry for me
Just think of yourself, think of yourself
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
So here you stand, beloved freak
The world is at your feet
Here you stand, beloved freak
The world is at your feet
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
And so you stand, beloved freak
The world is lying at your feet
There you stand, beloved freak
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
CONTROL
***************
The world might end,
The night might fall.
Rain on down and cover us all,
And drown us with the burdens of our sins.
Maybe I’ll look you in the eye,
Tell you, you don’t wanna die.
Maybe I’ll hold my breath and jump right in.
Maybe I’ll hold my breath and jump right in.
I never saw you coming from inside my little prison,
Your autograph would really buy me time.
If you think you are the reason,
Give me something to believe in.
It’s always darkest right before the dawn.
It’s always darkest right before the dawn.
I confess I’ve lost control,
I let my guard down,
I let the truth out.
Oh I confess I’ve lost control,
I let my guard down,
I let the truth out.
The final celebration,
A bad hallucination.
Flip a coin and see which way I fall,
The shark tail is singing.
We love to watch him killing,
And suffer through a never ending day.
Suffer through a never ending day.
I can feel I’ve lost control,
I let my guard down,
I let the truth out.
Oh I can feel I’ve lost control,
You let your guard down,
You let the truth out.
I was trapped like a prisoner in my skin.
I was punished like an enemy for my sins.
I was blind,
I was caged,
And I was tricked,
And I was suffocating.
I was suffocating.
I can feel I’ve lost control,
Oh I can feel we’ve lost control.
I was suffocating.
I confess I’ve lost control,
And I was suffocating.
If I was suffocating,
I can feel we’ve lost control.
Feel my hunger.
Feel my hunger.
Oooh… oooh… oooh… oooh…
I was suffocating
Oooh… oooh… oooh… oooh…
WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE OF
***************
Tell me, please, what little girls are made of
Sugar and spice and all things nice
But we can bleed for a whole week straight
Every month, and the pain doesn’t faze us
Do you really think we give a shit about what you said
Or what you ever did?
Do what you want, but I’m not listening
‘Cause I’m not fucking about
You think you know what I can do
My virgin tongue, oh see how it fools you
Do you really think I give a shit about anything you said
Or what you ever did?
Say what you want, but I’m not listening
‘Cause I’m not fucking about
Yeah you!
Haven’t you heard?
I let you off with murder
And I’ve been drinking again
It helps to blot you out
‘Cause if I stop to think, I swear I’ll lose it
Watch me cutting every string
One by one
See me cut out all the rot
Bit by bit
Watch me as I push you back
Inch by inch
I push you back, boy
Inch by inch
Yeah you!
Haven’t you heard?
I let you off with murder
And I’ve been drinking again
It helps to blot you out
‘Cause if I stop to think, I swear I’ll lose it
Tell me, please, what little girls are made of
BIG BRIGHT WORLD
***************
We are difficult to understand
It was hard to make this simple plan work
Difficult, but that’s what made it burn
You’re a satellite around my heart
One million before the start
Indescribable, but that’s what makes it you
Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the teeth
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
We rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light
You’re mysterious, you make no sense
I love you ’cause you’re innocent
You fell out through a hole inside the sun
So magnify the best inside me
Build the parts that you can’t find me
The parts that won’t give out when things get hard
Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the teeth
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around and around and around and around
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light
I’m with you
MAN ON A WIRE
***************
I looked into the mirror
What did I see?
There was a big black beast
Looking back at me
You looked into my eyes
What did you see?
You saw a big black beast
Magnified in me
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I was like a volcano
Just waiting to explode
But I have been resurrected, reborn
And I have been transformed
I was a green eyed monster
Could you tell I was afraid?
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
That’s right
Yeah, I see you sitting around
With your wristwatch
And your white collared shirt
I see you
Hoping to watch me fail
Uh-uh!
You’re hoping to watch me fail
Uh-uh!
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
BATTLE IN ME
***************
Look at you
An accident of drinking
What a mess
A train wreck of lipstick
What a joke, but do you hear me laughing?
Get out my face, before I lose my patience
Now me and you, let’s cut this party
Little boy, it takes a lot to shake me
So shake it
It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you
It’s a bloody war of attrition
Let’s see which one of us is going to last the night
‘Cause I have all of my wits around
And I’ll be damned if I’m done
White rabbit plays right when the room starts spinning
Make it hard, I want something to happen
So make it happen
It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
It’s the battle in you
Let’s take a torch
To the past and the future
And let’s make out
I won’t tell your girlfriend
See how it feels with a passion burning
We’ll be damned when we’re done
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it off
‘Cause it’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
‘Cause it’s the battle in you
It’s the battle in me
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
