I'm Deranged
by David Bowie

Funny how secrets travel,
I'd start to believe if I were to bleed
Thin skies, the man chains his hands held high
Cruise me blond
Cruise me babe
A blond belief beyond beyond beyond
No return
No return

I'm deranged
Deranged my love
I'm deranged down down down
So cruise me babe
cruise me baby
And the rain sets in
It's the angel-man
I'm deranged
The clutch of life
and the fist of love
Over your head
Big deal Salaam
Be real deranged Salaam
Before we reel
I'm deranged

Music: Bowie/Eno
Lyrics: Bowie

The Perfect Drug
by nine inch nails

i got my head but my head is unravelling
cant keep control can't keep track of where it's travelling
i got my heart but my heart's no good
you're the only one that's understood

i come along but i dont know where you're taking me
i shouldn't go but you're wrenching 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

you are the perfect drug
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 just wants to say hello to you
my fear is warm to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how every little bit is left of me

and i want you

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

take me with you

without you everything just falls apart

it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

Eye
by The Smashing Pumpkins

I lie, I wait
I stop, I hesitate
I am, I breathe
I meant, I think of me

Is it any wonder I can't sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough

I taste, I love
I come, I bleed enough
I hate, I'm not
I was, I want too much

Is it any wonder I can't sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found peace through you?
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned
Turn away from light
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough, just a touch
It's not enough, just a touch

This Magic Moment
by Lou Reed

This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I met you
And then it happened
It took me by suprise
I knew that you felt it too
I could see it by the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer's night
Everything I want, I have
Whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment,
While your lips are close to mine,
Will last forever,
Forever, 'til the end of time

So why won't you dance with me?
Why won't you dance with me?

This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I met you

And then it happened
It took me by suprise
I knew that you felt it too
I could see it by the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer's night
Everything I want, I have
Whenever I hold you tight

Apple of Sodom
by Marilyn Manson

I've found the center of fruit as late
is the center of truth today.
Cut the apple in two.
Oh, I pray it isn't true.

I've found the center of fruit as late
is the center of truth today.
Cut the apple in two.
Oh, I pray it isn't true.

I've got something you can never eat.
I've got something you can never eat.
I've got something you can never eat.
I've got something you can never eat.

I've drained my heart, I've burned my soul.
I've trained the core to stop my growth.
I pray to die in grace,
to cover me in snow,
to cover me in snow,
cover me in snow,
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too.
cover me in snow.
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too.
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too.
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too.
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too.
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too.
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too.
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too.

Take this from me.
Hate me. Hate me.
Take this from me.
Hate me. Hate me.

1, 2, 3, he can't move just stand still.

I put a spell on you
performed by Marilyn Manson

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine.
I can't stand the things that you do.
No, no, no, I ain't lyin'. No.
I don't care if you don't want me
'Cause I'm yours, yours, yours anyhow.
Yeah, I'm yours, yours, yours.
I love you. I love you.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

I put a spell on you.
Lord! Lord! Lord!
....'Cause you're mine, yeah.
I can't stand the things that you do
When you're foolin' around.
I don't care if you don't want me.
'Cause I'm yours, yours, yours anyhow.
Yeah, yours, yours, yours!
I can't stand your foolin' around.
If I can't have you,
No one will!
I love you, you, you!
I love you. I love you. I love you!
I love you, you, you!
I don't care if you don't want me.
'Cause I'm yours, yours, yours anyhow.

Song to the Siren
by This Mortal Coil

On the floating, shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving to your isle.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.

Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."
