burn:

from the "Natural Born Killers" soundtrack. also on the cd was a mix of "Something I can never have" (Pretty Hate Machine), and a mix for "A warm place" (downward spiral).

this world rejects me
this world threw me away
this world never gave me a chance
this world's gonna have to pay

i don't believe in your institutions
i did what you wanted me to
like cancer in the system
i've got a little surprise for you

something inside of me has opened up its eyes
why did you put it there did you not realize
this thing inside of me it screams the loudest sound
sometimes i think i could

burn

i look down there where you're standing
flock of sheep out on display
saw your lives burned up around you
i can take it all away
something inside of me has opened up its eyes
why did you put it there did you not realize
this thing inside of me it screams the loudest sound
sometimes i think i could

i'm gonna burn this whole world down

i never was a part of you burn

i am your savior (i never was a part of you burn)
i am corruption (i never was a part of you burn)
i am the angel (i never was a part of you burn)
of your destruction (i never was a part of you burn)
i am perversion (i never was a part of you burn)
secret desire (i never was a part of you burn)
i am your future (i never was a part of you burn)
swallowed up in fire

dead souls:

from "The Crow" soundtrack

someone take these dreams away
that point me to another day
a duel of personalities
that stretch all true reality

they keep calling me
keep on calling me
they keep calling me
keep on calling me

when figures from the past stand tall
and mocking voices ring the hall
imperialistic house of prayer
conquistadors who took their share
they keep calling me
keep on calling me
they keep calling me
keep on calling me

calling me, calling me
calling me, calling me

they keep calling me
keep on calling me
they keep calling me
keep on calling me

the perfect drug:

from "The Lost Highway" soundtrack

i got my head, but my head is unraveling
can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's traveling
i got my heart but my heart is no good
and you're the only one that's understood

i come along but i don't know where you're taking me
i shouldn't go but you're reaching, dragging, shaking me
turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
the more i give to you, the more i die

and i want you
and i want you
and i want you
and i want you

you are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug

you make me hard, when i'm all soft inside
i see the truth, when i'm all stupid eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart

my blood wants to say hello to you
my feelings want to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
every little word is a lack of me

and i want you
and i want you
and i want you
and i want you

you are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug

(whispered)
you are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug, the drug, the perfect drug

(song changes to slower beat with piano after a drum solo)

take me, if you want
take me, if you want
take me, if you want
take me, if you want
(continues in the background)

without you, without you everything falls apart
without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
without you, without you everything falls apart
without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
without you, without you everything falls apart
without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
