An Honest Mistake (Stir the Blood Remix; bonus track)
. . .


Louisiana, in the Bucket of Blood
That's where they met, his eyes were like mud
Cause his whole life he had nothing to see
But he held on to her and he found peace

He'd take her walking down by North Shore
And he always told her
we're meant for much more
We outta go off somewhere so pretty
And then a storm came and fucked up the
Crescent City

And then they were left with nothing
She said nothing's not so bad
It could be the best time that we ever had

Every single day
I can feel them chip, chip chipping away
If only we could run, run from these swine
Oh baby we are wasted in this time
Someday if we try
I know we could fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
We shine like gold
Oh baby we were born to be adored

And I can feel them staring in my face
Like they're dig, dig, digging me,
digging a grave
It's like these people are dead they're so weak
And someone dug them up and gave them
words for their lips to beat

And then they were left with nothing
She said nothing is not so bad
It could be the best time we ever had

. . .


I saw Jacob, he lay in the street
He said the air out here is like amphetamine
And I never ever wanna sleep again
I wanna live till I die

The took all his money and all that he had
But he smiled with his eyes
and his face was bright red
And spit would run from his mouth when he said
I wanna live till I die

'Cause I am alive and there's blood in my arms
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
I will live till I die
Till I die

There's more inside of me than skin and bones
I am born again today and
all my sins are washed away
There's more inside of me than skin and bones

Jacob sat on the roof and he said
Some day the earth will cast out its dead
If you dwell in the dust then wake up and sing
I will live till I die

Jacob smiled when he said to me
I am not waiting on the Red Sea
To open up and rain pearls on me
I will live till I die
Till I die

There's more inside of me than skin and bones
I am born again today
and all my sins are washed away
There's more inside of me than skin and bones

As long as I live and there's blood in my arms
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
This is a day that is brighter than bombs.

Burn, burn the house on fire
I'm so sick and tired
I can still remember your sound
It's cut cut cutting me
Down I'm locked and loaded
You're so milk and roses
And I am just a letdown of your hound
It's cut cut cutting me
Like slow poison
Cut down, slow poison

Sing me one more ...
I have found my angel
Ah-ah-oh
She walks upon the ground
It's cut cut cutting me
Down on the empty can
I'm a stranger in a strange, strange land
Gone, gone, just gone without a sound
It's cut cut cutting me
Like slow poison
Cut down, like slow poison

And all of my dreams are only dreams
And all of my schemes are only schemes
And if this is my punishment
Then I want my card to fit

break ...

Burn burn the house on fire
I'm so sick and tired
I can still remember your sound
It's cut cut cutting me down
Like slow poison
Cut down, like slow poison
It's cutting me
Like slow poison

If I put my hands around your wrists, would you fight them?
If I put my fingers in your mouth, would you bite them?
So many things that I would do if I had my way with you

I can keep secrets that I know that you want me
You could dig your nails into my skin and you won't stop me
You could twist and scream into the air but no one can hear you here

And there will be no tenderness, no tenderness
There will be no tenderness, no tenderness
I will show no mercy for you,
you had no mercy for me
The only thing that I ask, love me mercilessly

While your shouting friends that despise you to your face
What would they say now if they saw you in this place?
Naked and breathless, could you live with this disgrace?
Could you live? Could you live? Could you live with this?

And there will be no tenderness, no tenderness
There will be no tenderness, no tenderness
I will show no mercy for you,
you had no mercy for me
The only thing that I ask, love me mercilessly

If I put my hands around your wrists, would you fight them?
If I put my fingers in your mouth, would you bite them?
So many things that I would do if I had my way with you

And there will be no tenderness, no tenderness
There will be no tenderness, no tenderness
I will show no mercy for you,
you had no mercy for me
The only thing that I ask, love me mercilessly
Love me mercilessly

. . .


And you know me now
like a mother knows a child
And you know me now
like I came from your own body
I can feel your pulse like a moth inside a jar
And even this is still too far
Even this is still too far

I wanna be your skin
I wanna feel everything you feel
I wanna be your covering

So let them come like an army against us
I know you won't be afraid
Because I am the armor upon you now
And we are never betrayed
There is no ending between you and me

I wanna be your skin
I wanna feel everything you feel
I wanna be your covering
And I will hide you inside of me
With every breath in harmony
I wanna be your skin
I wanna be your covering.

Ain't a soul who's seen
A loser like me
it was she, it was she
She put the devil in me
Wasn't me, wasn't me
I don't have it in me
(That remains to be seen)

Girls like you
Don't need a thing
Cause girls like you
Hate everything

You're gonna kill me
When you hear this song
Does she still love me
Or was I wrong
(I'm losin' track, please take me back)

She's so bendable
She's so bendable
She's so bendable
She's so bendable.

The birds are up when he collapses through the door
Spilling out in constellations on the floor
Soaked in liquor, he's soft as bread
And everything that's left of him to beckon to his bed

He is a nocturnal, always alone
But you'll speak in secret codes that he has never known
In this world, but not of it
So he watches from above it
A visitor here, this is not home

I am the spectator
I can see the world passing by from here
I am just a child to a man
Back to the dust where I began
I was never even here at all

I am the spectator
I am the spectator

His eyes, like two cats, scratching in his head
Begging him for sleep, starving for a bed
But sleep, it never comes, so he ticks the time away
Hour after hour, hear them play their bells go

Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time
Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time

I am the spectator
I can see the world passing by from here
I am just a child to a man
Back to the dust where I began
I was never even here at all

I am the spectator
I am the spectator
I am the spectator

And the bells go
Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time
Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time
Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time
Chime chime chime, ticking ticking time

I am the spectator
I can see the world passing by from here
I am just a child to a man
Back to the dust where I began
I was never even here at all

I am the spectator
I am the spectator
I am the spectator

We are faster, faster than pain
We are a nerve ending without a brain
We have evolved, we have no feeling at all
It is a brave new world

Raise a glass in salutation
We drink to our annihilation
Was and will just make me ill
It is a brave new world

And we are faster than pain
We are dogs without a name
We are marching soldiers off to claim
The brave, brave, brave new world

I wanna dream it all away
I take a sober holiday
I take a gram and I only am
It is a brave new world

Raise a glass in salutation
We drink to our annihilation
Was and will just make me ill
It is a brave new world

And we are faster than pain
We are numbers in a chain
We are marching soldiers off to claim
The brave, brave, brave new world

And we are faster than pain
We are numbers in a chain
We are marching soldiers off to claim
The brave, brave, brave new world, world, world

She could be found out dancin'
At Ludlow St. and Stanton
Oh you should've seen her
Shake it up like Orangina

And even though she's a liar
We got on like a house on fire
Even though she's my friend
We never knew when to say when

Every little move she made
Was a ticker tape parade
And everything she'd say
Was a national holiday

And even though she's a liar
No one ever got me higher
And even though she's my friend
We never knew when to say when

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on

She was at Thompskin Square
Staring at the grass
Trying to make her eyes turn green
But it never last

And even though she's a liar
No one ever got me higher
'Cause we never knew when to say when
Even though she was my friend

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on

Over on 5th and C
She got her beers for free
And every time I came in there
She always laughed at me

She said, "Who's this child in here?"
You look like you teach math
Your appled eyes betray
You've never known loneliness

With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
With red hands and white knuckles
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on

. . .


Oh jack-o'-lantern man
We will see who's laughing then
Someday when push comes to shove
We will see who's laughing then

Oh jack-o'-lantern man
If you could see the rage inside of me
I could cut my veins and drown you in the flames
And I'd know, I'd know
I would know ecstasy

And I was only seventeen
Stir the blood, I'll spill the seed
Psilocybin all the time
Dirty water spill the wine
The birds outside, they never stop
Shut the window call the cops

Oh jack-o'-lantern man
I wanna see that smile turn cold surprise
We will see who's laughing then
When I piss in your hollow eyes

I wanna drown you like a kitten in the sink
I wanna see you bleed amethyst
Oh jack-o'-lantern man
We will see who's laughing then
With a skull full of piss

And I was only seventeen
Stir the blood, I'll spill the seed
Psilocybin all the time
Dirty water spill the wine

Kenneth Anger colored dreams
Underwater hide the screams
The birds outside, they never stop
Shut the window call the cops

And I was only seventeen
Stir the blood, I'll spill the seed
Psilocybin all the time
Dirty water spill the wine

Kenneth Anger colored dreams
Underwater hide the screams
The birds outside, they never stop
Shut the window call the cops

. . .


Come, come like sugar my love
Until the bitter taste is gone
These images that burn my eyes
Like the thumbprints of the sun

Come, come everything to please me
Candy canes on parade
Lay me in the sun till every trace is gone
I am bleached away, bleached away

Oh sugar pill, I believe you
Oh sugar pill, I wanna eat you up
Up up up up up

Now I am blissed out, I have kaleidoscope eyes
I'm light as cotton, I am wide as the sky
This is where my thoughts come to die
And I am happy

Oh sugar pill, I believe you
Oh sugar pill, I wanna eat you up
Up up up up up

Oh sugar pill (oh sugar pill)
Oh sugar pill
Oh sugar pill (oh sugar pill)
Oh sugar pill

Oh sugar pill, I believe you
Oh sugar pill, I wanna eat you up
Up up up up up
Up up up up up
Up up up up up

Oh sugar pill, I wanna eat you

. . .



People
They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud

My old friend...
I sweat I never meant for this
I never meant...

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
