Axis IV Lyrics. Let's get 'em started now.

[rusticgrooves]

I know Axis IV hasn't been released yet, but there are some songs we can get going on. Count on Me, Shot Down and Suicide. We've got them live or otherwise. Let's get the lyrics going. I'll start with what of COM I can understand. Please feel free to make inputs or corrections.

COUNT ON ME
There's no love inside. It's only what they see.
What means the most?
There's no song inside. It's only make believe.
What can they hear?

When all else fails, when it all falls down,
Can I count on you to be there?
Friends don't know you, and love forgets
You can count on me to be there. Yeah you can count on me.

Between a rock and a hard place.
Use my fingernails to climb. It's all we know.
There's no heart inside. Just an empty shell,
but we're alive

(chorus)
(this last one is difficult for me to understand, but this is what I heard)

Through the earth I fall. I can't see the sky.
I (pull/fold/hold) my skin. Count the ______ to fly.
Stronger than before, strong (by me?)

(Chorus)

You've all died on this message board. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I'm raging outta here!

STICK UP KID

Nobody move, nobody get - hurt
We want a little loot, and we don't wanna work
I used to be a white trash piece of shit now I'm a stick up kid

Nobody move, nobody get - hurt
We want a little loot, and we don't wanna work
I used to be a white trash piece of shit now I'm a stick up kid

When we walked in the bank, we were heavily armed
Now put your hands in the air like its when we perform
I suggest you step away from the silent alarm
Unless you wanna see the banker die in your arms, so

Nobody move, nobody get - hurt
We want a little loot, and we don't wanna work
I used to be a white trash piece of shit now I'm a stick up kid

Nobody move, nobody get - hurt
We want a little loot, and we don't wanna work
I used to be a white trash piece of shit now I'm a stick up kid

I was even thinkin' bout gettin' me a loan
But I don't wanna work my little fingers to the bone
I could pay the interest on a single family home
But if I gotta work I can't be home

Nobody move, nobody get - hurt
We want a little loot, and we don't wanna work
I used to be a white trash piece of shit now I'm a stick up kid

Nobody move, nobody get - hurt
We want a little loot, and we don't wanna work
I used to be a white trash piece of shit now I'm a stick up kid

What you're lookin' at here are some desperate men
That are sick of seein' people livin' better than them
I was even gonna hit the ATM
Why's it gonna cost me five bucks just to take out ten?

Nobody move, nobody get - hurt
We want a little loot, and we don't wanna work
I used to be a white trash piece of shit now I'm a stick up kid

Nobody move, nobody get - hurt
We want a little loot, and we don't wanna work
I used to be a white trash piece of shit now I'm a stick up kid

PARTY GIRL

She passed out at the party
She crashed out on the couch
She wore lipstick on her cigarettes
And ashes on her mouth
With whiskey in her hair
Her vomit on the floor
She was dancing on the table just a few moments before

When she stumbled in
I couldn't tear my eyes away
Now she's lying here unconscious
While I sit here wide awake

Let me be the one you always dream of
While you're sleepin', while you're sleepin', while there's no one else around
You're all I want and lovin' you'd be wrong
In so many different many different ways

So maybe I'll just hold you in my arms
And you'll just love me you'll just love me when you wake up, party girl

Please forgive me I'm too shy to ever speak
I couldn't tell you how I feel, if you and I met on the street
We'll have petty conversation when you've had too much to drink
You look so beautiful when piss face drunk, passed out on the sink

A friend of a friend who threw a party
For this other friend that you and I both knew
Now you're here next to me (now you're here next to me)
I feel it's destined to be (I feel it's destined to be)

Let me be the one you always dream of
While you're sleepin', while you're sleepin', while there's no one else around
You're all I want and lovin' you'd be wrong
In so many different many different ways

So maybe I'll just hold you in my arms
And you'll just love me you'll just love me when you wake up, party girl

You're my party girl
I think it's destined to be (I think it's destined to be)
Now you're here next to me (now you're here next to me)

Party girl

Need a little help with this one

SUICIDE

I know there are times when your will can't go wrong
And who am I to say what you're doin' is wrong
There are problems in life, ones that we'll never solve
If you need a friend as a friend I can help you along
I'll show you the way

If you're hangin yourself on [??] still be [tied to]/[tight a-] sleep
If you smile[?] over a bottle of pills you can stay up all night with me
If you're cut and you missed use a spoon 'cause they're more sharp than knives can be [not sure]

The death of you
That would be the death of me
Suicide
Suicide
I'll show you the way

When you feel your heart sinking deep in that hole
You can't feel tomorrow
When today is too cold

I remember a time even I was down low
And you were the one that was there when I felt all alone
You showed me the way

If you're hangin yourself on [??] still be [tied to]/[tight a-] sleep
If you smile[?] over a bottle of pills you can stay up all night with me
If you cut and you missed use a spoon 'cause they're more sharp than knives can be [not sure]

The death of you
That would be the death of me
Suicide
Suicide
I'll show you the way

You won't listen to reason and people say actions speak louder than words
What kind of friend would I be if I let you get hurt

If you're hangin yourself on [??] still be [tied to]/[tight a-] sleep
If you smile[?] over a bottle of pills you can stay up all night with me
If you cut and you missed use a spoon 'cause they're more sharp than knives can be [not sure]

The death of you
That would be the death of me
Suicide
Suicide
I'll show you the way

Another one with some uncertainties, have a look

CUT IN

I don't want [the inversion?]
And I don't really care where most guys go wrong
I wasn't lookin' for lessons, wasn't askin' questions,
and look at [lookin'?] Mr. know it all

So what'cha actin' all bashful for, cut in!
Cut in!
Cut in!
Yeah you only talk about it
Cut in!
Cut - in!
Yeah you only talk about it

When you're known around town you can act up
But what if you're not known around town that much
I never burn my bridges, I blow my bridges up

Hey look at Mr. know it all

So what'cha actin' all bashful for, cut in
Cut in!
Cut in!
Yeah you only talk about it
Cut in!
Cut - in!
Yeah you only talk about it

I heard a sound so far away
I can hear lying here [?] it was you, it was you
So let's go for a ride
So jump in!
So jump in
So jump - in
You only talk about it
Cut in!
Cut in!
Don't wanna talk about it

NO ANTIDOTE

Standin' on the roof
Your head up in the clouds to find your space
You try to hold on, wings of an angel
Thinking you'll end up somewhere great

But it's not what it's all cracked up to be

Did you think it'd be that one thing, that was pure
Did you think it'd be that one thing, that could cure
Did you think there'd be that one thing, that could save you
Did you think maybe that one thing, could be your savior
You wait for it to come,
and it don't, and it don't, and it don't
There's no antidote, antidote, antidote

With your little plastic soldiers you start wars
And when bombs fly overhead you find your gun's your only friend

But it's more than a gun you're gonna need

Did you think it'd be that one thing, that was pure
Did you think it'd be that one thing, that could cure
Did you think there'd be that one thing, that could save you
Did you think maybe[?] that one thing, could be your savior
You wait for it to come,
and it don't, and it don't, and it don't
There's no antidote, antidote, antidote

But it's not what it's all cracked up to be

Hat filled full of dreams
Pockets full of gold, you lose it all
Either everything's working
Everything's perfect
Or you're working for it all

But it's not how you planned it out to be

Did you think it'd be that one thing, that was pure
Did you think it'd be that one thing, that could cure
Did you think there'd be that one thing, that could save you
Did you think there'd[?] that one thing, could be your savior
You wait for it to come,
and it don't, and it don't, and it don't
There's no antidote, antidote, antidote

THE FUZZ

I was drivin' in my car and the music was on
Saw a sweet young thing dressed in a blue uniform

Handcuffs on the left and a gun on her right
So I slammed on the gas, started runnin' through lights

Next thing you know I'm pulled up next to the curb
By this lady dressed in blue with the sexiest curves
She pulled me over for DWI but I was lookin' for the love in her eye

I got shot down
I got shot down

She reached down, she lifted her gun, in my head I'm thinkin' this could be love
She's the fuzz
She's the fuzz
You know she wants to put my wrists into cuffs all I wanted was a kiss and a hug
She's the fuzz
She's the fuzz

I'm always on the wrong side of the law
But the only time I speed is when I'm drivin' a car

I got no license or proof of insurance
I'm unregistered, uninspected, overdue for a service

The wild woman she could change my ways
But I always cross the lines like I'm changin' lanes
One day I met up with this lady in blue
I need a good girl, and maybe it's you

I got shot down
I got shot down

She reached down, she lifted her gun, in my head I'm thinkin' this could be love
She's the fuzz
She's the fuzz
You know she wants to put my wrists into cuffs all I wanted was a kiss and a hug
She's the fuzz
She's the fuzz

I try to give her love, she give me nothin' but grief
Just like NWA I wanna fuck the police

With me you know[?] I invented a plan
She had my legs spread open with my head in my hands

When I'm insistent I got drugs in the car
She frisked me up and down with the arms of the law
Can I get your number, think I saw you before
You know a woman with authority's so hard to ignore

I got shot down
I got shot down

She reached down, she lifted her gun, in my head I'm thinkin' this could be love
She's the fuzz
She's the fuzz
You know she wants to put my wrists into cuffs all I wanted was a kiss and a hug
She's the fuzz
She's the fuzz
