The day erverything became nothing

THE DAY EVERYTHING BECAME NOTHING

The day everything became nothing, 

I was standing underneath a streetlight, Wishing I’had a cigarette. 

I can't recall anything unusual about it. 

If there was something in the air, 

If the skies had clouded over, I’wasn't aware, I’was too bored to care. 

No thunder roared. No lightning cracked. 

No missiles rained from the sky. This was no sneak attack. 

There was just suddenly this awful lack. 

Things had changed, that's for sure. 

The day everything became nothing, you couldn't put your finger on what had gone wrong. 

The alleys were still dirty; the garbage still smelled; 

There was no panic in the streets; Just a lot of grief... 

In people's faces, in their eyes...a mixture of horror and total surprise. 

This was no apocalypse. No one heard a voice from the sky, 

There were no miracles at the 7-eleven, 

No one screamed, no one even asked why. 

It was just like everything had somehow, quietly died. 

So let it die! 

I can't recall much of what happened next. 

I was on my way to visit this woman I’knew. 

All we had in common was good sex, 

And now I’couldn't even remember her address. 

A group of us, just strangers, got together and we formed a committee to discuss the problem. 

We talked about things like assured mutual destruction and emotional responsibility. 

I couldn't remember my name, so I’called myself bob. 

It's weird being a bob, but i'll get used to it. 

I have to. 

DEAD SOULS

Dead souls, Dead souls they're coming, I’know (2 times) 

Dead souls, Dead souls they want my soul (2 times) 

Dead souls, Dead souls they'll find me, I’know (2 times) 

Dead souls, Dead souls they need to feed (2 times) 

Dead souls, Dead souls they'll find me, I’know (2 times) 

I know I’know dead souls, dead souls dead souls, dead souls 

FORGET YOUR LIFE

Now if you feel like nothing 

Nothing and nobody and if you see nothing 

Nothing and nobody forget your life 

It's nothing now 

If you cringe and shrink inside but say nothing 

Nothing to nobody and if you cry but say nothing 

Nothing to nobody 

Forget your life 

It's nothing you're hiding 

Why are you hiding That's nothing 

You're scared What are you scared of 

That's nothing 

Forget your life 

It's nothing 

Forget it 

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Beauty lies in the eyes 

Behold the eyes where it lies 

If beauty lies in the eyes 

Behold the eyes 

The beast you, you're beautiful you, you're beautiful 

Beauty talks but beauty lies 

Beauty wakes the beast inside 

A feast of eyes where beauty walks behold the eyes 

The beast you, you're beautiful you, you're beautiful 

Beauty struts and beauty flaunts 'cause this is what the eyeball wants 

Beauty doesn't stand a chance 

Behold the eyes of the beast Those hungry eyes 

On beauty's parts those burning eyes 

On beauty's parts those burning eyes 

So dark and hot 

Dark and hot 

Dark and hot 

Dark and hot 

Behold the eyes 

BROTHER RAT

Let's go out and see what we see 

Let's go out and see what we see 

Just you and me 

Just you and me 

And there will be no other brother 

Brother we'll knock back a few 

And talk about life 

We'll knock back a few 

And talk about life and what is right 

And what is right 

We'll talk about life and what is right 

And there will be no other brother, buddy, pal, comrade, friend buddy, pal, comrade, friend 

Until the end 

A shake of the hand, 

A pat on the back 

A shake of the hand, 

A pat on the back 

A knife in the back, 

A knife in the back 

I'll buy you a beer, 

A knife in the back 

And there will be no other brother 

We're one in the same, You and me 

We're one in the same, You and me 

We're brothers, Brothers in arms 

We're friends until the end 

We're brothers, brothers in arms 

Until the end your end

WHAT SLAYDE SAYS

Slayde is my buddy, my pal, he is my brother I’am one, he is the other 

When the sun shines, he is my shadow 

And when the moon is high, it's at his feet I’lie 

But i'll never listen to what slayde says 

I'll never listen to what slayde says 

Slayde's always talking, and it's rarely nice 

He's always whispering his poisonous advice 

He is secretive, ruthless and cold 

He mentions just enough and leaves the rest untold 

He said, "don't ever risk an open attack, just smile into their faces and then stab them in the back" 

But slayde, I’said, what about the weak, 

The helpless and the small? 

He just sneered and said, "fuck 'em all, fuck 'em all" 

He said I’am a murderer, although i've killed no one 

You talk in puzzles slayde, I’said, 

What have you really done? 

"I've cut the twining cord, i've shot the turtle dove, i've shut out that precious light that shines from above" Slayde, you are a poet, I’said 

But what are you truly speaking of? 

He smiled and whispered, „I murdered love" he smiled and whispered, 

„I murdered love" 

I guess I’hate him, no, that's not really true 

He's not completely bad, 

Sometimes he'll crack a joke or two 

I guess i've grown accustomed to his funny ways 

It's not his fault that he was made that way 

I hear him in my sleep, I’see him in my dreams 

I see him crouched before some terrible machine 

And then I’face a mirror and he steps in between 

Can you tell me, what does this mean? 

Can you tell me, what does this mean? 

Now I’lay me down to sleep and pray to god my soul to keep 

If I’should die before I’wake 

You'll know i've made my escape but there is one step i'll never take 

I'll never listen to what a slayde says...
