I Am An Elastic Firecracker

Tripping Daisy I Am An Elastic Firecracker Lyrics
1.Prick

you're everywhere I've seen you bleed,
HIGH in my home,
I watch you and miss you all day long

You keep me lying, playing games with your pet brain,
I know why you told me you had the right to!

I've always thought this train was just some
phase but you ride on,
you want me to ride around too

fill your ego and bring you every inch of the way,
I know why you need to kill all the pain there

sympathize with me cause here I am
I am rolling on my head
like a child you move so quickly
to touch the flame
you burn the vein goodnight

all along you run into mirrors
everything you do is coming fast
getting strong on the wrong from the money
driving in your head you're in the train

your only need in life is flying in the wind, I know
why you told me it was your right to

you tell me to look and watch you go down in
your vein, I know why,
to shock me
your time for reaching

You're always slipping, slidding deeper when you
breathe
I walk by
you force me to walk around you

until the phone rings
asking how much do you need
you tremble on
as if your tricks have been heard before

sympathize with me cause here I am
I am rolling on my head
like a child you move so quickly
to touch the flame
you burn the pain goodnight

as you glide through the river
everyone just looks as if you're dead
if I had the strength of ten men
I'd pull your arms out and stick them on your
head in pieces!!!

You drown me white washed crippled inside
me my love
is shoot to shame
your right from wrong
it's emotion today
release me life of no matter
my life is here I will overcome
your life away
but your life will roll
your life away
but your life will roll
your life away
but your life will roll
your life your way
but your life will roll

your life your way
your life your way
you like it

oh brother
brother can I see you now my brother
it's been to long since you've been away
brother
you're driving hard to get away brother
I hope you've not gone too far


2.Motivation

Laugh at what you did today
it's all been done before
Lift your hands into the clouds
you're even in the score
The swimming pool's without a drain
You look at how the water stays
You think again, you think the same
Your steps become a fall..

She said on the phone
that there was nothing to do
Like a kid in the store
with her fingers glued
She said her passion was splashed with sin
It's a final shame, shame, shame...
If I die now before I get old
let the people remember that I was told
To stick with things that made them proud
It's a final shame shame shame...

Last chance you're there
As you lose your motivation
And all you've got to do is let it go...
It's your last phase and every little way
to find you
But all you've got to do is let it go

Take the time to feel the pain
it's all been done before
Put your head into the game
you're even in the score
Let your secrets out to try
The crash you feel when you deny
The lasting thought is all you hear
Your eagerness survives

She said on the phone
That there was nothing to do
Like a kid in the store
With her fingers glued
She said her passion was splashed with sin
It's a final shame, shame, shame...
If I die now
before I get old
let the people remember that I was told
to stick with things that made them proud
It's a final shame, shame, shame

Last chance you're there
As you lose your motivation
And all you've got to do is let it go...
It's your last phase and every little way
to find you
But all you've got to do is let it go...
Last phase and evey little way
to find you
And all you've got to do is let it show...


3.I Got a Girl

I got a girl who lives with me
I got a girl she smells so sweetly
I got a girl she loves her dog
I got a girl i love her dog too!

I got a girl who stares in the mirror
I got a girl who blames it on her period
I got a girl she is so right
I got a girl she's my guiding light

Well i know, i need, i feel we're going higher and higher
Well i know, i need, i feel we're going higher and higher

I got a girl who loves good soul
I got a girl who dances to disco
I got a girl who wears cool shoes
I got a girl who wears them in the nude!

I got a girl who speaks her mind
I got a girl who will argue anytime
I got a girl she is so small
I got a girl she'll knock down any wall

Well i know, i need, i feel we're going higher and higher
Well i know, i need, i feel we're going higher and higher

Get a load of this she's always bitching at me when I'm feeling
down,
Asking questions with her little frown,
I can't take much much more of this, i'm out
Get a load of this she's always bitching at me when I'm feeling
down,
Asking questions with her little frown,
i can't take much much more of this , i'm out....

I got a girl i love to kiss
I got a girl i never wanna miss
I got a girl she's my best friend
I got a girl that won't even hold my hand

I got a girl that makes me laugh
I got a girl i'll make her laugh too
I got a girl she has girlfriends
I got a girl i like her girlfriends!!

Well i know, i need, i feel we're going higher and higher
Well i know, i need, i feel we're going higher and higher

i got a girl
i got a girl
i got a girl
And she's got a guy


4.Step Behind

Well I'm on my way
I'm too good to be by myself again
Well I'm on my way
I'm too good to fly by the seat of my..
Well I'm on my way
I'm too good to be all alone

Walking through the palace
I'm twisted through the malice
I'm searching for the door
but there's no door around
She is looking scary
I think I'll start to swim now
in the tears I lost
before the day that she died
As I'm getting older
I think I move much slower
Reaching for my friend
but there's no friend around

I warned you
You make me hide
I warned you

I can feel you
but you can't feel me
and I will tear down
all the strings
you have on me
cause time
it goes by
like the leaves that blow
and tides they carry
all the fears I have inside

Well I'm on my way
I'm too good to be by myself again
Well I'm on my way
I'm too good to fly by the seat of my..
Well I'm on my way
I'm too good to be all alone

Walking through the palace
I'm twisted through the malice
I'm searching for the door
but there's no door around
She is looking scary
I think I'll start to swim now
in the tears I lost
before the day that she died
As I'm getting older
I think I move much slower
Looking for my friend
but there's no friend around

I warned you
You make me hide
I told you
You, you
you make it, make it
And I don't wanna
take it, take it You, you
you make it, make it
over and over and


5.Bang

What makes a man feel small? Is it points of pleasure in
leather?
What makes him go way off where the fights are gagging still?
Take what you can today
Left the brown dog burning, He's burning
If you have the time you can come and save us still

All you do is try it
Go inside the whore and buy it
If you think that you will like it
I'll be here to let you stay

Bang!!!

You play with all my strengths
You're always a whispering
Why you wanna watch me
Why you wanna wipe out
Why you wanna watch me
Why you wanna wipe out
You play with all my strings
Now it's time to go back where you started

What makes a man go home in the nights of pleasure with leather?
Life ticks around the clock like a turban choking your head!
I, I will stand so small like a rodent eating, I'm teething
If I can make it through there will be my house in full force

All you do is try it
Go inside the whore and buy it
If you think that you will like it
I'll be here to let you stay

Bang!!!

You play with all my strengths
You're always a whispering
Why you wanna watch me
Why you wanna wipe out
Why you wanna watch me
Why you wanna wipe out
You play with all my strings
Now it's time to go back where you started
You play with all my strings
You're always a whispering
Why you wanna watch me
Why you wanna wipe out
Why you wanna watch me
Why you wanna wipe out!!!


6.Raindrop

I feel it around me
I feel like a raindrop
I feel we're all washed out burnt out
I think it's a shame
I feel like we're dying on the needs of the people today
I feel like screaming at the world
I know it's a game called...

INSECURITY
insecure
INSECURITY
inseure

I feel like racing the wind
I feel like I'm flying
I feel that the people that surround me have all been blinded
I think I'll reach down in my soul and pull up what's hiding
It's these things inside of me
I share them with you cause

INSECURITY
insecure
INSECURITY
insecure

and as I tear down my bad habits
and you grab it
and you throw it out to see if someone tries it
and they like it
and we run together to figure it out
people always standing
and we're staring at what we thought was our best game

I feel it around me
I feel like a raindrop
I feel we're all washed out burnt out
I think it's a shame
I feel like we're dying on the needs of the people today
I feel like screaming at the world
I know it's a game called...

INSECURITY
insecure
INSECURITY
insecure
INSECURITY
insecure
INSECURITY
insecure

And as I tear down my bad habits
And you grab them
And you throw it out to see if it is you...


7.RocketPop

Ramble on
you exciting female
She says she has no whine
She has special 'K'!!!

I'll take it any way I can
I'll take you anywhere you want me
I'll take it in silence, silence
You make a boredom scream!!!

I'm everywhere you want me now
I'm like a paper towel
You like to wipe me up at best
You like to make me freak!!!

Lying here with you
is like heaven
in the sun
In the seventies
Keep it all inside every night
with your hair
on my pillow
HEY!RAGE! If all I had to do
was get naked and look at you
in the seventies
Well all is great
and everything's nice
with HR Puffinstuff
by our side
HEY!HEY!

Ramble on
you exciting female
You say you have no one
You have special things!

You've taken all that you can get
You've left me feeling sick
You take me
that's your mission

You make me fall down quick!!!
Quick!

Lying here with you
is like pleasure in the sun
In the seventies


8.Piranha

Keep thoughts high in the sky
You're like a big kite
that's flying from people
who wanna keep you down,
down in the crowds
Where they're always breakin' out

Watch out for piranhas
There's always piranhas
Watch out for piranhas

Ready or not
like it or not
here they come again
It's a shame
but you are just laughing
People want to keep you in the dark
You're always a mess
but you're always a step ahead of the crowd

Watch out for piranhas
There's always piranhas
Watch out for piranhas
So many times I have been late
while feeling the breeze
Tons of hopeless thoughts in me
Now I'm free...
And now I'm free!

Watch out for piranhas
You can be what you want
It's a matter of time
Prepare to be amazed
You're flashing
they're frowning
you flash the clover leaf cheer
It's a game
You're winning
There's always so many piranhas

WATCH OUT FOR PIRANHAS
there's always piranhas
watch out for piranhas


9.Same Dress New Day

take off your coat
your silver is tarnished
lady in darkness
the cat is old and still

keep all your makeup
packed on your head
invite all the demons
the truck stops in the bed

you can't rely on a stranger to love you
you can't rely on a friend who's dead
you can't deny all the people who love you
you can't deny when their love is dead
you know that you will love you still
you can't deny the love that you must.........

brush off your anger
go fix your hair
tell all the people
the brain is always dead

the sky is the limit
when the ocean is hiding
keep all your secrets
locked inside

you can't rely on a stranger to love you
you can't rely on a friend who's dead
you can't deny all the people who love you
you can't deny when their love is dead
you know that you will love you still
you can't deny the love that you must feel


10.Trip Along

Sitting on a curved back couch
My mind it rolls
Reminds me it was so easy

Staring at the christmas lights in a box
That were once hanging on my tree
Proving once again that seasons change
So do we - it's nothing new
Similar to the love you find while kissing
Your first kiss, the world was blind

Trip along my mindless waveless
thoughts they carry on......
Trip along my mindless waveless
thoughts they carry on......

The magic potion within my brain
Painted pictures of everything
The cat that barks the dog that meows
The bird that flies all around
Trip along my mindless waveless
thoughts they carry on

Sitting on a curved back couch
My mind it rolls
Reminds me it was so easy


11.Noose

all of the days have been stolen
the people around me have all spoken
I am the one slipping and sliding
when there's a noose looking for you

YEAH......HA HA HA YEAH......

now that the smoke has all flown away
the people around me have all floated down stream
and I am there choking on bubbles..bubbles..
bubbles.. bubbles
when there's a noose looking for you

YEAH.......HA HA HA YEAH..... now that my skin is all frozen
the ants will eat me tell I'm a carcass..bones still
laying in forms as I was chosen

and all at once the noose is you
it's hard to move when the noose is you
when all along the noose is you
there's no more noose looking for you!


12.High

Step on God
He can take it man
He's the one
I can look through when I'm down
He's the only for me when I'm High
He's the only one for when I die
Well, I can't forgive him for every word he said
Well, I'm standing at the hill...

Step on the earth
It can give a man
It's the only the one for me when I die
Give it all
In the early morning
Stick and stones they cry for me
when I'm high
Well I can't remember every word he said
When I'm standing here just looking through the air
And I can't forget the times they've gone away
Well I'm...
