BUSH

SIXTEEN STONE

1. EVERYTHING ZEN

There must be something that we can eat
Maybe find another lover
Should I fly to Los Angeles
Find my asshole brother
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Dave's on sale again
We kissy kiss in the rear view
We're so bored you're to blame

Try to see it once my way
Everything Zen
Everything Zen
I don't think so

Everything Zen
Everything Zen
I don't think so

Raindogs howl for the century
A million dollars a steak
As you search for your demi-god
And you fake with a saint
There's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence

Try to see it once my way
Everything Zen
Everything Zen
I don't think so

Everything Zen
Everything Zen
I don't think so

Everything Zen
Everything Zen

I don't believe that Elvis is dead, yeah
I don't believe that Elvis is dead
I don't believe that Elvis is dead, yeah
I don't believe Elvis is...
Elvis is...

There's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence

Try to see it once my way
Everything Zen
Everything Zen
I don't think so

Try to see it once my way
Everything Zen
Everything Zen
I don't think so

Zen
Zen

I don't think so
I don't think so
I don't think so.

2. SWIM

Could not believe
Came here today
Helmet was on
You blew me away
House is on fire
We're naked again
Maybe all we need
Is water and friends

Shackles and chains
Won't keep me away
Temple is you
And my brow is insane

I wanna be, just like you
I wanna feel, right through you
I wanna see, just with you
I wanna live
I wanna die you

Thinning ice
14 hairdryers
I'm swimming to you
Flame on earth desire
Poor on the rise
Rich on the fall
This cripple's with you
Fame is a whore

I wanna be, just like you
I wanna feel, right through you
I wanna see, just with you
I wanna live
I wanna die you
I wanna fit, inside you
I wanna room, inside you
If money talks, I wanna buy you
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna live you

I'm not scared of you
Gave up on drugs
If I make it through
The jaws of love
The jaws of love
Your hand in my hand
So why

I wanna be, just like you
I wanna feel, right through you
I wanna see, just with you
I wanna die
I wanna live you
I wanna fit, inside you
I wanna room, inside you
If money talks
If money talks
If money talks
Money talks

You give (22 x).

3. BOMB

Wanted to buy you shiny red things
Thought I'd be with you until the end
How did I know that I would be there
Blow me away
See if I care

Death of a future
Goodbye to my friends
Wish I could see you all again
Family hollow
Family real
Wish you were here
See how I feel

O, kill a man
O, kill a girl
O, kill a man
O, kill a girl
O, kill a man
O, kill a girl

Jekyll in you
Brings out the wired in me
I have no defense
I'm all that you see
The night is a bomb blast
The night is on fire
Sing with me in the gasoline choir

O, kill a man
O, kill a girl
O, kill a man
O, kill a girl
O, kill a man
O, kill a girl
O, kill a girl
O, kill a man
O, kill a girl
O, kill a man
O, kill a girl
I killed a man
I killed a man
I killed a man
I killed a man

And you say you want to change our minds
I've paid for your belief with mine
If all the bravest stands in time
You stoop so low you'll never rise.

4. LITTLE THINGS

I bleach the sky
Every night
Loaded on wrong
And further from right
Spinning around
Two howling moons
'Cause they're always there
Whatever I do

The river is loaded
I've been there today
Took it some questions
She does me again
I'd die in your arms
If you were dead too
Here comes a lie
We will always be true

Going up when coming down
Scratch away, away, away, away, away
'Cause it's the little things that kill
Tearing at my brains again
O, the little things that kill
The little things that kill

Bigger you give
Bigger you get
We're boss at denial
But best at forget
The cupboard is empty
We really need food
Summer is winter
And you always knew

Going up when coming down
Scratch away, away, away, away, away
'Cause it's the little things that kill
Tearing at my brains again
O, the little things that kill
Tearing at my brains again
O, the little
The little (7 x)

The little (8 x)

The little (8 x)

I touch your mouth
My willy's food
Addicted to love
I'm addicted to fools and
I kill you once
I kill you again
We're starving and crude
Welcome my friends to
The little things that kill
Tearing at my brains again
O, the little things that kill
Tearing at my brains again
O, the little
The little (7 x)

The little (16 x)

Here come the little things
Here come the little lies
Little, little.

5. COMEDOWN

Love and hate get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day let it fade
Who was there to take your place
No one knows never will
Mostly me but mostly you
Do you say do you do
When it all comes down
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

There is no blame only shame
When you beg you just complain
More I come more I try
All police are paranoid
So am I so's the future
So are you be a creature
Do you say do you do
When it all comes down

'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

Love and hate get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day let it fade
Who was there to take your place
No one knows never will
Mostly me but mostly you
Do you say do you do
When it all comes down
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
And I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

Why did you (9 x)
Come down

I don't want to come back down from this cloud
This cloud (9 x).

6. BODY

Hush child, lay your sweet lips on me
This greed, bigger than you and me
Will you come again
Body

Tongue tied, and a visceral third degree
Feel warm, center of gravity
Wash us all away
Body never lies

Will you come again
Will stay friends
Oh you paralyze
Oh you paralyze

There are times when I wish
That I was you thick skinned
Cities you drive me through
Better than me, you're a woman
Seven days, and my system is free again
We rise, lose it on oblivion
Falling away, I'm sorry for the way, the way, the way
Your child is on fire
Your child is on fire

Will you come again
Will stay friends
Oh you paralyze
Oh you paralyze

Will you come again
Will stay friends
Will you come again
Will stay, will stay, will stay, he he

Lick these my ruby lips
Drop your protein pills
And find you're better off
Better just to lose yourself
We kiss, we kiss, we kiss
Pretty words could never say
Pretty words could never say
Pretty words could never say

Further away, further away
Away

Will you come again
Will stay friends
Will you come again
Will stay friends
Will you come again
Will stay, will stay, will stay

Will stay.

7. MACHINEHEAD

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in

Tied to a wheel
Fingers got to feel
Bleed onto a tart and gay smile
I spin on a whim, I slide to the right
I felt you like electric light
For our love
For our fear
For our rise against the years and years and years

Got a machinehead that's better than the rest
Green to red machinehead
Got a machinehead that's better than the rest
Green to red

And I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Deaf, dumb and thirty
Starting to deserve this
Leaning on my conscience wall
Blood is like wine
Unconscience all the time
If I had it all again
I'd change it all

Got a machinehead that's better than the rest
Green to red machinehead
Got a machinehead that's better than the rest
Green to red

And I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe in
Breathe in

Got a machinehead that's better than the rest
Green to red machinehead
Got a machinehead that's better than the rest
Green to red
That's better than the rest
Better than the rest
Machinehead

And I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine.

8. TESTOSTERONE

I'm a man
I'm real proud of my manhood
I like to smoke
Ten thousand cigarillos

Eight ball
I could climb any fountain
I never cry
I only bawl when I'm losing
And I've never been wrong
Never been wrong
Never been wrong
And I'm looking so good
Looking so good
Looking so good

Got a big gold gun
Got a big gold gun
Got a big gold bullet
And I guess you could say
And I guess you could say
I'm real full of it
I'm real full of it
I'm real full of it
Full of it
Full of it
Full of it

I'm real straight
You wanna see my peccadillos
Hot dog 7:30 every morning
And I'm big into war
Big into war
Big into... war

I am a whore
I am a whore
I am a... whore

Got a big gold gun
Got a big gold gun
Got a big gold bullet
And I guess you could say
And I guess you could say
I'm real full of it
I'm real full of it
You're real full of it
We're real full of it
Again

I shave with Gillette
Shave with Gillette
Shave with Gillette
And I'm patting my back
Patting my back
Patting my back

Got a big gold gun
Got a big gold
Got a big gold gun
Got a big gold bullet
And I guess you could say
And I guess you could say

Real full of it
Real full of it
I'm real full of it
Real full of it
Real full of it
Real full of it

I'm real full of it
Real full of it

I'm real full of it (7 x).

9. MONKEY

The mind is all

The mind is all
We kiss everything
We say we love it's, the skin we're in
You're a retrograde a vacancy
You're the one I love
The hate in me

A lazy day on a darker breed
To have is not what it's made to be
You've come along on a mass attack
Sucking your tantric suck
Fooling your one-eyed cat

We, we don't mind
We, we don't mind

We deviate our gravy brains
Set 'em on fire they're all the same
I am Lionface
No Sancho Panza
I'm riddled by you
I could've been better

We, we don't mind
We don't mind
We don't mind

I'm a monkey on a drip
Sucker monkey on a drip
I'm a monkey on a drip
Sucker monkey on a drip
Sucker monkey on a drip
Sucker monkey on a drip
Hey, monkey, monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Monkey, monkey

You take such pretty photos
When will you be worthy of your good side
Where will you be
When the clouds break
And it all takes
Just a little more than you have

We don't mind
We don't mind
We don't mind

I'm a monkey on a drip
Sucker monkey on a drip
I'm a monkey on a drip
Sucker monkey on a drip
Sucker monkey on a drip
Sucker monkey on a drip
Hey, monkey, monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Monkey, monkey

Monkey (7 x)

So monkey (8 x).

10. GLYCERINE

Must be your skin I'm sinking in
Must be for real 'cause now I can feel
I didn't mind
It's not my kind
It's not my time to wonder why
Everything gone white
And everything's grey
Now you're here, now you're away
I don't want this
Remember that
I'll never forget where you're at

Don't let the days go by
Glycerine
Glycerine

I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
Are you at one
Or do you lie
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise it's like strawberry fields
If I treated you bad
You bruise my face
Couldn't love you more
You got a beautiful taste

Don't let the days go by
Could have been easier on you
I couldn't change though I wanted to
Could have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me

Glycerine
Glycerine

Don't let the days go by
Glycerine

Don't let the days go by

Glycerine
Glycerine

Glycerine
Glycerine

Bad moon white again
That moon white again
As she falls around me

I needed you more
When we wanted us less
Could not kiss just regress
It might just be
Clear simple and plain
Well, that's just fine
That's just one of my names

Don't let the days go by
Could've been easier on you, you, you
Glycerine
Glycerine
Glycerine
Glycerine.

11. ALIEN

Well the satellite comes and goes
We give each other all we know
In silence we still talk
By the light of the stereo waltz
And will you rain down
In your cinematic love truck
I want to hold you like nothing's going to stop us

She come to take me away
It's all that I needed
I don't breathe another lover

Flicker on a TV screen
Everything's more than it seems
The mighty backwards fall
Stare at the lights on the wall
I swear to this
She felt like velvet
Second blonde child like velvet, velvet
She come to take me away
It's all that I needed
I don't breathe another lover

I'm an alien
You're an alien
It's a beautiful rain
Beautiful rain

I'm an alien
You're an alien
It's a beautiful rain
Beautiful rain

I'm an alien
You're an alien
It's a beautiful rain
Beautiful rain
Beautiful rain

Beautiful
Beautiful

She comes around again
She comes around again
Around again (3 x)

I'm an alien
You're an alien
It's a beautiful rain
Beautiful rain

I'm an alien
You're an alien
It's a beautiful rain
Beautiful rain

I'm an alien
You're an alien

Beautiful rain
Beautiful rain
Beautiful rain

Alien, alien, alien, alien
Beautiful rain, beautiful rain
Alien, alien, alien, alien
Alien, alien, alien, alien
Alien, alien.

12. X-GIRLFRIEND

1, 2, 3, 4

You only call me when you're down
You only call me when you're down
You only call me when you're down
You only call me when you're down
You only call me when you're down
You only call me when you're down
You only call me when you're down
You only call me when you're down.
