Cult of Man 05:07
When you're laying in bed at night, who do you think of? Who do you think of? When you are holding me tight, is it all you dreamed of? Is it all you dreamed of? And we're turning out the lights, what do you think I'm made of, Think I'm made of? And when we fight, who do you wish for? Am I all you dreamed of? Because I get the shakes for you. When you're laying in bed at night, who do you think of? Who do you think of? When you are holding me tight, is it all you dreamed of? Is it all you dreamed of? Because I get the shakes for you My heart breaks for you I get the shakes for you For you

In My Bones 01:48
I feel it in my bones, I miss him Sitting all alone Shaking off the boredom I'm preparing a meal, my lips wasted for another day, counting on the calendar I feel it in my heart, he's missing But I am not alone if I don't want to be I can go out tonight but my body wants to stay put My body wants to hold him My sweetheart lies here with me But only in my daytime dreams

Playmate 02:04
Have you ever swapped a person? My playmate was a hold out She liked cigarettes, ate bad food, liked hard floors And found me out She liked hard floors and mysteries Haven't seen her in weeks She liked hard floors and mysteries Haven't seen her in weeks Aren't you afraid? Aren't you jealous? Aren't you ashamed? Aren't you religious? Aren't you afraid? Aren't you jealous? Aren't you ashamed? Aren't you religious? Well it wasn't spiritual but it wasn't confusing She had long hair And never asked bad questions Aren't you afraid? Aren't you jealous? Aren't you ashamed? Aren't you religious? Aren't you afraid? Aren't you jealous? Aren't you ashamed? Aren't you religious?

Secret religions in the night Open your door to me I'll be your toy Take all my cigarettes Drink all my wine Take off all my clothes Take half my mind If you want to ask personal questions I promise you I'll answer most of them If you want to get personal with me I'll promise you I'll promise you nothing Secret rituals in the daylight Why do you telephone and then not answer? Why do you answer and then not telephone? Why do you say these things for nothing? Why do you do these things for nothing If you want to ask personal questions I promise you I'll answer most of them If you want to get personal with me I'll promise you I'll promise you nothing Nothing Nothing

She kissed me and I fell ill, though I tried to keep my distance Believing it to be a sign She is stranger, but not from the light part of this village I can't understand just why she picked on me So I try to figure it out in my feverish dreams We went up to a warm room It was too hot, too hot for anyone I fell asleep and when I woke up I was so confused Drunk on the days that passed No, this could never last Nothing does She kissed me and I fell ill, though I tried to keep my distance Believing it to be a sign She is stranger, but not from the light part of this village I can't understand just why she picked on me Though I try to figure it out in my feverish dreams We went up to a warm room It was too hot, too hot for anyone I fell asleep and when I woke up I was so confused Drunk on the days that passed No, this could never last Nothing does

Thrill killer, sudden movement Don't say the right things Weapons hidden, mouth dry When is the right moment? Terror eyes, beating heart Sister, will you join us? It doesn't matter the way you die As long as he enjoys it Hunts, kills Elusive feeling Fantasy lover I'll take you under preservation, I'll take you in be a part of me forever Forever
