It was up on the rooftop
Where I died
When I hit the pavement,
I fell into the sky
I could see the walls
As they passed me by
I could see graffiti
From the corner of my eye
Scribbled heartless in black ink,
I don’t know what to think
Scribbled heartless in black ink
My mind was out of sync
It was down on the ground
Where I officially hit
My mind spilled out
And my head did split
I could hear the cracking
And groans emit
I could see the sun
It was rather legit
Scribbled heartless in black ink,
I don’t know what to think
Scribbled heartless in black ink
My mind was out of sync
It was in my head
Where I finally died!
Where my spirit resides!
I was taken aside!
They took over my mind!
Scribbled heartless in black ink,
I don’t know what to think
Scribbled heartless in black ink
My mind was out of sync

Help Me, Intelligence!

I watched my head as it rolled away
Around the corner and gone astray
10,000 holes in my new car
It’s safe to drive but not too far
I took a bite of forbidden fruit
Enlightenment gave me something to do
Intelligence will help me out… help me
3 Pharisees, they spoke to me
You’re nothing but a philistine
I lost myself sometime ago
I said goodbye and let me go
The end of the world was not so bad
Intelligence was all I had
Intelligence will help me out… help me
My life was always on the line
Help me
My life was always on the line
Oh, save me

Marionette

Come Geppetto, Come Geppetto,
String me up/ like a puppet
I’m a marionette
Pull my strings, pull my strings,
Move my arms, make me yours
I’m a marionette
Don’t you know I’ve got a conscious, baby?
I don’t wanna be a puppet, no more.
Have you bought yourself a conscious, lately?
I don’t wanna be a puppet, no more.
Lord and Vassal, Lord and Vassal,
I’m the Serf/ I must serve
I’m a marionette
Tug the strings, tug the strings
Make me dance/ Like a puppet
I’m a marionette
I’m her marionette, she’s my marionette too
Made of wood, made of wood
I’m hard, baby/ Like a puppet
I’m a marionette
I ‘ve got no brain, got no heart
Got no soul/ Like a puppet
Just like a marionette!
Don’t you know I’ve got a conscious, baby?
I don’t wanna be a puppet, no more.
Have you bought yourself a conscious, lately?
I don’t wanna be a puppet, no more.
I’m her marionette, she’s my marionette too

When I see you over there, I want to seize your priceless stare
If I only I owned something to share…
I’d share my heart but it’s locked up
I’d share my brain but it’s fucked up
I’d share the world but it’s not mine
It never was and never will
You’re the sun and you’re air, I could get lost within your hair
If I only I owned something to share…
I’d share my eyes but they can’t see
I’d share my words but they can’t speak
I’d share the world but it’s not mine
It is yours and always will
I’d make some butterscotch for you
It is the least that I can do
Your lips and mine will combine to make a candy that’s sublime
And here’s some butterscotch for you
It is all that I can do
I am the mass and you’re the few
I wish I had something for you
When I come across your face, I tend to long for your embrace
I wish that we could both partake…
In some butterscotch for two
In a yacht that doesn’t float
We could drown and you’d survive
For life is yours and death is mine
I’d cross a dozen oceans, but I don’t have endurance
What would that do for you, dear? What would that do for you?
I hope that you are hungry, for I baked something sweet
Here’s what I’d do for you, dear! Here’s what I would do.
I cannot tame a lion, nor can I brave Poseidon
What I’ve got is appetizing, and I got it just for you!
I’d make some butterscotch for you
It’s all that I can do!
