Pure Narcotic – Acoustic Session 2012
You have no interest in the past Where you came from Where you're going to There's a cliché in your eye You file the edges down Soon be underground There's nothing here for you under the sun There's nothing new to do, it's all been done So put your faith in another place Never seem to get away from this It's all fallen into an abyss So put your foot on the pedal, boy All you know is secondhand Will it pass through The cage inside you? You stole the only thing you love So unfaithful The drop is fatal There's nothing here for you under the sun There's nothing new to do, it's all been done So put your faith in another place Never seem to get away from this It's all fallen into an abyss So put your foot on the pedal, boy All you know is secondhand Will it pass through The cage inside you?

You were the one that made her cry You were the one that told her lies You were the one whose brain moved in circles Neither an adult nor a child Now it only moves you forward And back to the blackness at the same time Burnout tracks, the world went black Futile Lost my head, the world went red Futile It's not true, the world went blue Futile You were the one collecting space You were the one just saving face You were the one whose brain moved in circles Neither an adult nor a child Now it only moves you forward And back to the blackness at the same time Burnout tracks, the world went black Futile Lost my head, the world went red Futile It's not true, the world went blue Futile Burnout tracks, the world went black Futile Lost my head, the world went red Futile It's not true, the world went blue Futile Burnout tracks, the world went black Futile Lost my head, the world went red Futile It's not true, the world went blue Futile

You keep me waiting You keep me alone in a room full of friends You keep me hating You keep me listening to The Bends No amount of pointless days can make this go away You have me on my knees You have me listless and deranged You have me in your pocket You have me distant and estranged No narcotics in my brain can make this go away I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you I worry that I don't act the way you'd want me to I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you Ah-ah-ah-ah You find me wanting You find me bloodless but inspired You find me out You find me hallucinating fire No narcotics in my brain can make this go away I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you I worry that I don't act the way you'd like me to I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you (Ah-ah, ah-ah) Have we ever been here before? Running headlong at the floor Leave me dreaming on a railway track Wrap me up and send me back (Have we ever been here before?) I'm sorry that (Running headlong at the floor) I'm sorry that I'm not like you (Leave me dreaming on a railway track) I worry that (Wrap me up and send me back) I don't act the way you'd like me to Ah-ah, ah-ah

The fisherman smiled at me Were fields of empty people Floating out to sea The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence The small fish gave a cry The next thing that I saw as Things were fading fast Were dreams of children's laughter Smouldering to dust The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence The small fish gave a cry The last thing that I saw as My life passed by Were fields of empty people Laying down to die The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence To watch the burning sky

Ghosts in the park Appear just after dark Killers, children But no one has a harp They look like tourists It makes me want to laugh Under floorboards It's hard to fly a kite Underwater My cigarettes won't light Standing in the shade I'm getting frostbite Strange as I seem I'm getting stranger by the minute Look in my dreams It's getting stranger by the minute When I'm drowning You drag me up to you Rings in the water My only residue But you're just fiction And I'm a twisted boy Strange as I seem I'm getting stranger by the minute Look in my dreams It's getting stranger by the minute Strange as I seem I'm getting stranger by the minute Look in my dreams It's getting stranger by the minute Strange as I seem I'm getting stranger by the minute Look in my dreams It's getting stranger by the minute
