DANCE THE BRIDGE "Ominous Frolic" Lyrics THE BLACK PLAGUE The Black Plague, even if I wanted to escape, what good could it possibly do? It's followed me down through the centuries. From that first flirt in a Catholic church, we tried hard to make things work. When The Rat's in the walls saying duty calls, we spread a little ruin at a pestilent crawl. You think you've seen it all? Just give me 5 minutes and meet me in the bathroom stall. Special delivery of roses, let's make the most of this mood. I've got a pocket full of posies. All of my homies do too. It's followed me down through history. From London 1603, a few years later on to Italy, wagging it's tail like a puppy. You should have been there for Moscow, oh what a party, what a row. Everything is different now. Things have settled down now. A CONFIDENCE TRICKSTER I let fly a bomb, fashioned from silence, so you could complain, I'm no fun to be around anymore. I don't have time to make amends for anything I've done. I'm too busy feeling slightly sorry for what's to come. All of my dealings with a confidence trickster, when she was my spanish prisoner. All the girls I used to know, that just ignore me now. Well, I think it's funny how they frown to themselves. All of my dealings with a confidence trickster, when she was my spanish prisoner. Oh I never broke into that abandoned hotel with you. I'll stand in the background. Soak up the shadows. All of my dealings with a confidence trickster, when she was my spanish prisoner. Oh I notice my mouth makes a grimace much more than it used to, after all we went through (after what she put me through). How many years has it been? And I'm still trapped by the one we lived in. KNOW ME NOW You were lonely on your deathbed. I should have called to say hello, but you left us all behind for a chance to bring the world your show. And you deserve more promises than the world would let you give. I wish you could have lived. We were all so afraid of dying. No one knew how you got cursed. Now your talent's gone, the world moved on, the potential you had earned, dispersed. And you deserve more accolades than the world could care to give. I wish you could have lived, and if I saw your face now, you could still take a bow. If I saw your face now. FEEL THE SAME I don't care about the weight of the world, let it fall. I'm bored and a little lonely. And if she only knew my position on a few key issues, we could make a little headway. But I'm stuck in a rut and I can't get it up, the nerve to tell her what I want to, to let her see what she wants to in me, but I'm terrified. Oh I'll ruin everything. Stop pounding my door down, I can hear you coming a mile away, and I don't know the difference between resentment and forgiveness. All I know is they both make me feel the same. Hey, I think I've found my focus. I think I know where I want to go with this. I need to party with the ladies and try to widen my perspective. Oh at last she's out of my mind, I can leave her and her kind far behind. I can't hide my embarrassment but I can throw all my emotions away, and if you think I'm bad now, you'll never see me unhappy again. Stop pounding my door down, I can hear you coming a mile away, and I don't know the difference between leisure and business. All I know is they both make me feel the fucking same. You win, I lose, guess you made the right choice, guess we both went insane. Because I can't tell the difference between resentment and forgiveness, all I know is that you make me feel so ashamed. HARD UP I'd just like to state, I was kidding when I meant what I said to you. Now I'd better go buy some beer and make it up to myself... with beer. No I don't have a problem with drinking. It's something to do. It's just something to do, while I'm thinking about our ridiculous situation. But now that I've had some time alone, I'm probably better off here alone with beer, alone, and video games, and videotaaapes. Maybe I'll watch Fight Club again to reaffirm my reasons for living, but either way, I'm not gonna talk to her anymore. I've had it with that whore. Wait-wait-wait, when I say whore, I don't mean it in a bad way. I'm just hard up in a bad way. Yeah. HALF ASLEEP I can feel them in my brain, in slumber, seizing ground. Staking claim to gain a foothold into our world. I almost think I'm crazier now than I even sound, but believe me, there are things man is NOT allowed to see. Now they are creeping in my vision at the edge of my most wakeful hours. Unknown terrors to subvert the consciousness and create a dreaded gateway on my shoulders. I must not sleep! The drugs keep me up. My former peers condescend me when I speak at length and fervently, my research has unearthed something sinister... How I regret my black experiments! Through sleep I found dark corners in the mind, hidden by dreams, locked secrets human consciousness must keep. By sheer will I am still half man... but now I am half asleep. Half man, half asleep. MY 486 What do you think of my new 486 computer? It sure outpaces that old 386. I'm running Windows 3.1, oh you're still stuck on Windows 3.0? I can start up a Doom deathmatch in 28 minutes or less, and I barely lag at a screaming 14.4 kbps. I hope by now I've impressed you, I'm sure by now I've impressed you. Look who's got the upper hand in this little war of friends. Good luck topping that, even with your rich parents. I'll meet your frustration and raise you aggressive boredom. I'll see you in battle on the Prodigy forums. I just got a crank call from a little girl pretending to be my whore while my parents where in the room. How embarrassing. "Who was that, honey?" Oh, nobody. Nobody haunts me. Nobody likes me. Well I don't need the stupid cheat code for Target: Earth. I can beat the damn game myself. I'll give it back when I'm done, but I won't admit just how much fun it was to play it. I AM AN EVIL WOMAN Beware the light in the darkness, until you know what's behind it. The Lord will not forgive me my hubris. I know what lies behind the light. It's a concept you wouldn't understand. I am an evil woman. Evil loves me, it'd do anything for me. I am the light you cannot extinguish. I AM THE LIGHT. It's a concept you can't understand. It's a concept you wouldn't want to understand. THE CHOCOLATE WAR We come from the land of hugs and kisses. We spring from a well of hopes and wishes. We speed 'neath the boughs of the peppermint trees, to deliver this news to our gingerbread king. It's time for war, here comes a war! The Chocolate War, a plague of fudge, a rain of cocoa from the bon-bon bomb.
