Toyko Rose - Spectacle
I slowly started chipping away at this block of stone
In an attempt to fashion a way to regain your attention.
Why won't you hear me out?
I started out with some paper and pen and my apologies.
But every time I try to write to you,
I just can never find the words to explain.
So I'll build a monument to honor you,
Out of the ruins of the love I knew.
I'll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see,
Because I know when you see it, you'll come back to me.
Picked me up the phone and I started to dial your line from memory.
Too proud to ever let you pickup.
Close to the point where i should give up.
You'll never call me back.
So now I'm doing something tangible - I'm working with my hands.
Because I can never seem to manage to say I'm sorry in a language you can comprehend.
So I'll build a monument to honor you,
Out of the ruins of the love I knew.
I'll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see,
Because I know when you see it, you'll come back to me.
I'll put it right outside your window
So it's impossible to ignore.
Will that be good enough for you? (for you)
And even if you pulled your shades down,
And burn the statue to the ground,
It'll be enough to bring your warmth back to me.
A monument to honor you,
Out of the ruins of the love I knew.
I'll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see,
Because I know when you see it, you'll come back to me.
So I'll build a monument to honor you,
Out of the ruins of the love I knew.
I'll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see,
Because I know when you see it, you'll come back to me.
Come back to me

[Under the Bridge]
Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry
I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all that way
Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away
[Californication]
Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication
It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging
[Chorus:]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication
Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon's not far away
It's Californication
Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody's been there
and
I don't mean on vacation
[Chorus]
Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you're craving
[Chorus]
[Dani California]
Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you pick the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world? What does your company take me for?
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Oh her merry way sayin' baby whatcha gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal forty five
Just another way to survive
[Chorus:]
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah
She's a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded, she was stealin' another breath
I love my baby to death
[Chorus]
Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew what others died to prove?
Too true to say good bye to you
Too true to say say say...
Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota
Down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast...
[Chorus 2x]
[Wet Sand]
My shadow side so amplified
Keeps coming back dissatisfied
Elementary son but it's so…
My love affair with everywhere
Was innocent why do you care
Someone start the car
Time to go…you’re the best I know
My sunny side has up and died
I'm betting that when we collide
The universe will shift into a low
The travesties that we have seen
Are treating me like Benzedrine
Automatic laughter from a pro
My what a good day for a walk outside
I'd like to get to know you a little better baby
God knows that I'll really tried
My what a good day for a take out bride
I'd like to say we did it for the better of
I saw you there so unaware
Those hummingbirds all in your hair
Elementary son but it's so
The disrepair of Norma Jean
Could not compare to your routine
Balarama beauty going toe to toe
My what a good day just to let it slide
I'd like to say we did it for the better of
I thought about it and I brought it out
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I'm consecrated but I'm not devout
The mother, the father, the daughter
Right on the verge just one more dose
I'm traveling from coast to coast
My theory isn't perfect but it's close
I'm almost there why should I care
My heart is hurting when I share
Someone open up and let it show
My what a good day for a walk outside
I'd like to think we did it for the better of
You don't form in the wet sand
You don't form at all
You don't form in the wet sand
I do Yeah
You don't form in the wet sand
You don't form at all
You don't form in the wet sand
I do
[Hard to Concentrate]
Hustle, bustle and so much muscle awww
Cells about to seperate
And I find it hard to concentrate and
Temporary this cash and carry
I'm stepping up to indicate
The time has come to deviate and
All I want is for you to be happy and
Take this moment to make you my family and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found
Death defying this mess I'm buying
It's raining down with love and hate
And I find it hard to motivate and
Estuary is blessed but scary your
Heart's about to palpitate
And I'm not about to hesitate and
One to treasure the rest of your days here and
Give you pleasure in so many ways dear and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found... here we go
Do you want me to show up for duty and
Serve this woman and honor her beauty and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found... yourself
With me... will... you... agree to take
This man... into your world...
And now... we are as one...
My lone ranger the heat exchanger
Is living in this figure eight
And I'll do my best to recreate and
Sweet precision and soft collision awww
Hearts about to palpitate
And I find it hard to seperate and
All I want is for you to be happy and
Take this woman and make you my family and
Finally you have found someone perfect and
Finally you have found... now
All I want is for you to be happy and
Take this woman and make you my family and
Finally you have found someone perfect and
Finally you have found... yourself
[Make You Feel Better]
She's the one she's the only one
She's got ripped back light
Gonna make me come
I say... when I smile I'm a really smile
I got dreams so wide like a country mile
I said now, I'll take it
It's better for you
Somehow we'll make it
'cause that's what we do
Pick a star in the open sky
I see you see me
And that is why I
Hop along to the cowboy beat
When I feel your fire
Jump up to meet
Something out there
Where love is your only friend and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better and
Someone to spare
When love is the only end and
We are the ones
That will make you feel better
Oh yeah
In a world that has run amok
I've got to set my sights
Just to get struck
I walk away from the rank and file
With a punched out mouth
And a pack of style
I say... she's the one she's the only one
Make me search myself
Until I'm done... and
Tell me now in a telegram
Do the sea of stars
Make a diagram... and
So alive I arrive on dust
You can search my mind
For the red on rust... I said
Take me there and she really cares
Lights up for me gonna hear my prayers
I said

There's a lit cigarette…in the hand of my new angel
she's blowing smoke like halos, and now everybody wants her
but I shouldn't even bother
because you made me so complete dear, but you left me so alone here
hang a noose for my new sinner somewhere everyone can see it
won’t you beg me and then tell me how to love you
like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
go run for cover (for how long)
you better start to love her so much you’re moving on and on
now there's a whole wide world...that wants to know
have cheap hotels lost their turn-on? she's bathing in the neon
and she's polluting all the airways while I'm passed out in the hallway
and you left me so in love here, you left with so much hate dear
was I creating only chaos—this world lives just fine without us…won’t you?
beg me and then tell me how to love you
like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
go run for cover (for how long)
you better start love her so much you’re moving on and on
will it change your life if I change my mind?
when she’s lit the whole wide world
I want to know if you will beg me and then tell me how to love you
like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure, (risking failure) but I'd hope you set your levels (for how long)
so you can run for cover
you better start to love her
now are we this pathetic? you made me finally see it
(will it change your life when I change my mind, will it change your mind when I change my life)
go run for cover
you better start to love her so much you're moving on
I'm so pathetic, you made me finally see it
got what you want? I'm gone
for how long? for how long? for how long will it change your life?
You better crawl on your knees
the next time you say that you love me
fall on your knees, cuz this time I won’t be so kind
can't you see that this is life and life is killing me
is it yours? is it mine?
our sky fell down tonight, to wash away our pain
tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
it never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
show me, over and over and over and over and over again
it never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
you better see how evil you can be
when you see my evil smile
it's the one that you'll remember when I am not so kind
can't you see that this is death and death is saving me
I say burn all your bridges while you still have control of the flame
I know it's hard but you...
tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
it never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
show me, over and over and over and over and over again
it never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
you've hardened to the point
you're hard and to the point
tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
it never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
(hardened to the point)
show me, over and over and over and over and over again
(hard and to the point)
it never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
