GLOOM DIVISION Album Lyrics by I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME

DOWNSIDE

I know that I can be impossible
I'd say I'm sorry but I'm never gonna let go
It feels like my heart broke
The second I said no
I regret it now, I didn't know
I couldn't live another minute in your blue light
Like Mazzy in starlight
My God, I left you at midnight

Darling, I need, darling, I need
Darling, I need
Darling, I need you here tonight
You're all that I wanted
And it's so hard to see the downside

I wanna listen to you whisper to me
I wanna watch bad American movies
Don't wanna give another kiss with my baby on my mind
It wasn't kind, it was kind of boring
I put a pill in my cup every morning
And when I die, I'll get those cold copper kisses on my eyes
And now I'm fighting for a look at the downside

It took a moment to disintegrate
So curious about the noise you make
In bedrooms
I don't know what I'd do
But we could find out soon

Darling, I need, darling, I need
Darling, I need
Darling, I need you here tonight
You're all that I wanted
And it's so hard to look at the downside
Darling, I need, darling, I need
Darling, I need
Darling, I need you here tonight
You're all that I wanted
And it's so hard to look at the downside

I wanna listen to you whisper to me
I wanna watch bad American movies
Don't wanna give another kiss with my baby on my mind
It wasn't kind, but it was kind of boring
I put a pill in my cup every morning
And when I die, they'll put those cold copper kisses on my eyes
And now I'm fighting for a look at the downside

Oh, the pennies on your eyes
Will pay the toll at your demise
And carry you far away
It's so hard to take
A look at the downside

GLOOMTOWN BRATS

Hey, what you on about?
Lipstick, quick wit, with a dirty mouth
Don't let your mother down
You're deadlocked at night spots in Gloomtown

And now you're in the right place at the wrong time
And you can sell your soul if you're so inclined
You just perpetuate expensive things and an upscale life
With the rich girls in Gloomtown

Rich girls in Gloomtown
It's your last chance to get down

You're so polite, girl
Well-educated with a wicked mind, oh
Negative white girl
With the predilection for a proper good time

And with the right last name, you can cut in line
Or you can sell your soul if you're so inclined
You just perpetuate expensive things and an upscale life
With the rich girls in Gloomtown

Hey, rich girls in Gloomtown
Don't we love all the rich girls in Gloomtown?

And you've been so polite
Thank god for charm school
But if I read this right, uh
Then all this attention's intentionally cruel
Night heat, back again
Turn them on, play pretend
Blue-blooded fantasy
Apocalypse, vanity
Sex is a weapon
Girl, you're cruel intentions
Life is a bitch when you're rich girls in Gloomtown

Rich girls in Gloomtown
Oh, rich boys in nightgowns
Oh, hey, rich girls in Gloomtown
Oh, rich girls in Gloomtown

INFATUATION

Ooh, and I need you now
But it's infatuation
Ooh, and I need you now
But it's infatuation

Love is the drug
All my diction disappears for her
(Ooh, and I need you now but it's infatuation)
And I've been listening too long to Lucifer
(Ooh, and I need you now, it's infatuation)

And something is wrong, this obscene occupation
What a drag to drag you down into infatuation

You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
And I need you now
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
But it's infatuation
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
And I need you now
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
But it's infatuation

Pale is the moon
Pay attention if you're counting stars
(Ooh, and I need you now but it's infatuation)
'Cause Mephistopheles would love to leave you scars
(Ooh, and I need you now, it's infatuation)

And something is wrong with this blank invitation
To retrieve your outworn evening gowns
And shooting my brain, little shots of salvation
What a drag to drag you down into infatuation

You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
And I need you now
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
But it's infatuation
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
And I need you now
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
But it's infatuation
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
Oh, and I need you now
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
But it's infatuation

You're my latest sick obsession
I could watch you eat your breakfast
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
But it's infatuation (and I need you now)
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
I could watch you eat your breakfast (and I need you now)
You're my latest sick obsession (and I need you now)
But it's infatuation (and I need you now)
You're my latest sick obsession
I could watch you eat your breakfast
(Infatuation)

WHAT LOVE?

Now we come to a very important section
The simple mechanics of reproduction
Or whatever you want to call it

What love, what love, what love
What love would get this vicious?
That's right, but never mind
This blood sometimes holiness brings you
What love, what love, what love
What love would get this vicious?
That's right but never mind
This blood sometimes holiness brings you

Gettin' down, ooh
I think you've got a hold of me
But don't let go
And I'll never set you free
You only come around when I got somebody new
You only sacrifice the things I never ask you to
Lord help me, I think I'm gonna cry
I guess I met you at the wrong time

What love, what love, what love
What love would get this vicious?
That's right, but never mind
This blood sometimes holiness brings you
What love, what love, what love
What love would get this vicious?
That's right but never mind
This blood sometimes holiness brings you

This feeling, it's coming like a tidal wave
Forget those things you heard
Forget the things I say
Leave me in misery, a formal casualty
Over and overture, sexual perversity
Lord help me, I think I'm gonna cry
I guess I met you at the wrong time

What love, what love, what love
What love would get this vicious?
That's right, but never mind
This blood sometimes holiness brings you (I can't fight this feeling)
What love, what love, what love
What love would get this vicious?
That's right but never mind
This blood sometimes holiness brings you

This night, is this the one?
Where you climb up on me
And we have some fun? (I don't know)
Or is this the night
Where we go too far? (What?)
Where we get untethered
And we learn our lesson?

I promised you things that I didn't mean
Pushed you to the edge of insanity
I shook all the wrong hands
At all the right times
Who did you expect me to be?

What love, what love, what love
What love would get this vicious? (I've got to get to you)
That's right, but never mind (I've got to get to you)
This blood sometimes holiness brings you
What love, what love, what love (I can't get-)
What love would get this vicious? (I've got to get to you)
That's right but never mind
This blood sometimes holiness brings you (I can't fight this feeling)
I can't fight this feeling

SPKOTHDVL

Your front page boy is finally here
And he looks so good but he's insincere
If you speak of the devil then he will appear
Oh, your front page boy, well, he's is finally here
Yeah, so
Well, stop the press

Are you waiting for the world to end?
Turn the light off because it doesn't sound like them
And now you're crawling on your knees again, ah
Turn it off because it doesn't really sound like them
(Does it?)

Hey, are you waiting for the world to end, well
Turn the record off because it doesn't really sound like them
Are you hoping that it's just pretend
Turn it off because it doesn't sound like them

Bones will break and blood will spill
(La, la, la)
When death is crawling up the hill
And with every drink that you distill
And it leaves you crawling up the hill
(Now, come on)
(Cry for me)
(Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh oh)

SIXFT

I kept hope alive
So that I could be with you
Try to bewitch your mind
But I let love die
How I failed
But, oh, how I tried
Darling

Don't
Don't push me around
I don't wanna see you buried six feet underground
F*ck around and find out
I don't wanna see you, darling, six feet underground
Six feet underground

Overemphasize
All these grandstanding, gas lights
Black eyes and fistfights
I romanticize all this
Pretense was meant to misrepresent you so

Don't
Don't push me around
No, I don't wanna see you buried six feet underground
F*ck around and find out
No, I don't wanna see you, darling, six feet under

What's your excuse for coming over
Six eyed with the champagne shoulder
Unexpectedly
(Uh)

Don't
Don't you push me around
No, I don't wanna see you buried six feet underground
F*ck around and find out
No, I don't wanna see you, darling, six feet underground
Six feet underground
Six feet underground
Six feet underground

FIND ME

Lonely
Looking
For someone to
Find me
Longing
Looking
For someone to
Find me

What have we here?
Who made this mess?
You try to clean it in your thousand dollar dress
But the stains are black
Just like your soul
You try to cut them out
But you get left there all alone

And now I
I've been so lonely
And I've been out looking for
For someone to come and
To come and find me, oh
Oh, I've been lonely
And I've, oh, I've been looking for
For someone to come and
Now come and find me

Seduce a friend
Nose in the air
Coordinated, matching luggage
Polyester leisure wear
Now drag the floor
Sinking into a void
Make sure the tape is rolling
And the camera feed is live

And now I
I've been so lonely
And I've been out looking for
For someone to come and
To come and find me, oh
Oh, I've been lonely
And I've, oh, I've been looking for
For someone to come and
Now come and find me

Lonely
Looking
For someone to
Find me
Lonely
Looking
For someone to
Find me (oh)
Lonely
Looking
For someone to
Find me
Lonely
Looking
For someone to
Find me

KISS & TELL

Keep your magic
Save your savage little games
I'll admit we're both to blame
But
I've been a fool for your love too long

How could it be so sweet, but you're bad for me
Leave me with a heartbreak and a tragedy
I can't give you what you want no more

So if you kiss and tell
C'est la vie, farewell
I'll be sure this tragedy ends
Oh, c'est la vie, farewell
If you kiss, if you tell
We can never speak
Never see each other again

So go fight off all your demons
Maybe you'll find someone to keep (find someone to keep)
Until then, you can dream of me in your sleep

So if you kiss and tell
C'est la vie, fare-thee-well
I'll be sure this tragedy ends
Oh, c'est la vie, farewell
If you kiss, if you tell
We can never speak
Never see each other again

Oh nobody needs to know
What we do
Where we go
Oh, who will?
So just mind your own business

And if you kiss and tell
C'est la vie, say farewell
I will be your imaginary friend
Oh, c'est la vie, farewell
If you kiss, if you tell
We can never speak
Never see each other again

A LETTER

I really don't know why I'm writing this letter
I just think, it must be easier than talking about it
You know, whenever I think to myself, "What if this doesn't work out?"
The first person I ever think of is you
I just hope you never think I only had you around to pass the time
Please don't ever think that way

It's, it's hard to stay focused when I'm with you all the time
And when I'm not with you, I'm thinking about you
I can't get close to people very easily, but I felt close to you instantly
And, in spite of everything I've done
I wish you all the happiness in the world

I really don't know why I'm writing this letter
I just think, it must be easier than talking about it

SATANIC PANIC

Had to get on top of the world
Take out the gloves, hit the sister of pearl
Passes out the fake cigarettes
The invocation is as good as it gets

Yeah, he says
"Please, oh, please"
"Believe in what I say"
Silver screens
Project your damnation, that's entertainment

Easy come, easy go
We wanna save your soul
Satanic panic takes it all
Easy come, easy go
Dying to save your soul
Satanic panic takes hold

Preachers come and talk to the bricks
He got a pocketbook of socio-tricks
Captures it on videotape
Looks like the devil in a two-dollar cape

Yeah, he says
"Please, oh, please"
"Believe in what I say"
Silver screens
Project your damnation, that's entertainment
(I wonder what this song is about)

Easy come, easy go
We wanna save your soul
Satanic panic takes it all
Easy come, easy go
Dying to save your soul
Satanic panic takes hold

Easy come, easy go
We wanna save your soul
Satanic panic takes control
Easy come, easy go
We wanna save your soul
Satanic panic takes it all

Easy come, easy go
Dying to save your soul
Satanic panic takes hold
Easy come, easy go
Damn your eternal soul
Satanic panic

Satanic panic takes all
Satanic panic

SUNNYSIDE

Stop where you are, let me explain
Drown your doubts away in cheap champagne
Palms bleed, gold leaves
You might not get another chance
So take her mother dancing
And don't overthink the irony, oh, please

Here I go running my mouth again
Left foot in the dark 'cause I'm sunny-side up
Take a skip and a jump, now you're sunny-side up-up-up-up
Here I go running my mouth again
Left foot in the dark, now you're sunny-side up-up-up-up
No, we don't give a, up-up-up-up

Listen, don't hesitate to take the blame, nah
Surely something will go wrong again
Stop these heartstrings
A sucker for the circumstance
With post-traumatic accents
And transatlantic expertise

Here I go running my mouth again
Left foot in the dark 'cause I'm sunny-side up
Take a skip and a jump, now you're sunny-side up-up-up-up
(Okay, okay, okay)
Here I go running my mouth again
Left foot in the dark, now you're sunny-side up-up-up-up
No, we don't give a, up-up-up-up

Ooh, there's more to life than meets the eye
Intrusive thoughts will make you cry
You've got to play through the pain and just ignore what's creeping in
Some day we're all going to die

Here I go running my mouth again
Left foot in the dark 'cause I'm sunny-side up-up-up-up
No, we don't give a, up-up-up-up
Sunny-side up-up-up-up
Sunny-side up-up-up-up

No, we don't give a, up-up-up-up
Sunny-side up-up-up-up
Sunny-side up-up-up-up
Sunny-side up-up-up-up
We don't give a, up-up-up-up
Oh, sunny-side up-up-up-up

Idiots of Oz

Ooh, it doesn't matter what you think of us
Ooh, we aren't beholden to the idiots of Oz

Post-boredom couldn't get me higher than I am
Look! Here comes the
Mistress of the destructive one-liner
Couldn't give a damn
About the idiots of Oz

What do they think?
Ooh, It doesn't matter what you think of us
Oh, but you still think of us
Ooh, we aren't beholden to the idiots of Oz
(Ow!)

Oh, make your name
Steal a thought
Don't thank anybody else
Sticks and stones
In the trunk
Keep your feelings to yourself
Or ego trip through the streets
Only break for the applause
And for the idiots of Oz

Stand up, sell-out
It doesn't matter what you think about
Stand up, sell-out
It doesn't matter what you think (Ooh, idiots of Oz)
Stand up, sell-out
It doesn't matter what you think about
Stand up, sell-out
It doesn't matter what you think about
Stand up, sell-out (Ooh)
It doesn't matter what you think of us (It doesn't matter what you think of us)
Stand up
Doesn't matter what you think of us (Ooh)
Sellout (It doesn't matter what you think of us)
It doesn't matter what you think of us (It doesn't matter what you think of us)
Stand up
It doesn't matter what you think of us
Sell-out (Ooh)
It doesn't matter what you think of us (It doesn't matter what you think of us)
Stand up
Doesn't matter what you think of us
Ooh, it doesn't matter what you think of us
