BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN (2010)
LIAR LIAR
My ears catch alight when you speak my name
Choke on those words when you say that I'm insane
I'm the opiate here in a garden of bores
I'm the virgin banging on the whorehouse doors
Liar liar
I'm on fire
You're over the hill- I'm smiling at the base
Pretty ugly girl behind your porcelain face
Spinning your web to catch a morsel or two
But I won't be caught dead by the likes of you
Liar liar
I'm on fire
Paid off pretty lookie suck, suck dry
Drown them sins baby lie, lie, lie
Liar liar
I'm on fire
DIRTY ROCK BABY
Dirty devil music
It's pumping in my heart
Don't turn it down I need it louder
Brace yourself now baby
You know it's what you need
To make you crazy like you wanna be
Rock'n'roll is taking over me
I can feel it in my bones
Dirty rock baby
I won't have it any other way
Dirty rock baby
Rock'n'roll is here to stay
It won't go away
Full throttle rock'n'roll
The only thing that moves me
It's taking over every part of me
One and only lover
The pounding in my ears
It's my addiction my insanity
Rock'n'roll is taking over me
I can feel it in my bones
Dirty rock baby
I won't have it any other way
Dirty rock baby
Rock'n'roll is here to stay
It won't go away
BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN
Oh I'm scared, little piggies
In your fort in your fort made of twiggies
I'll break it down without a sweat
What you give, what you give is what you get
Little pig, let me in
I'll slap the lies from your chinny chin chin
I'll take you back where you're welcome
In the shit and the filth that you call home
I'm gonna huff, I'm gonna puff
I'm gonna huff, puff, blow your house down
Big talking little whore
Sitting pretty in your palace made of straw
All you have is what you've taken
All you'll get, all you'll get is what I'm breakin'
Little pig, let me in
I'll slap the lies from your chinny chin chin
I'll take you back where you're welcome
In the shit and the filth that you call home
I'm gonna huff, I'm gonna puff
I'm gonna huff, puff, blow your house down
TWO FACE
I see your sweet side today
Sour switch when you look away
I thought I knew you, but no
So many you's I just don't know
How many saints can sin like you?
How many virgins fuck like you do?
Another lie that's hid from view
Another time you run me through
Believe the hype that they talk
Take your ego for a walk
What happened to the nice girl
She disappeared with the real world
How many saints can sin like you?
How many virgins fuck like you do?
Another lie that's hid from view
Another time you run me through
I wanna see you face to face
I wanna see your face, two face
It's your fault that we're all gone
I guess you knew it all along
It's such a hard walking road
The fastest way to die alone
How many saints can sin like you?
How many virgins fuck like you do?
Another lie that's hid from view
Another time you run me through
I wanna see you face to face
I wanna see your face, two face
RUN AWAY
Another day, another ticking clock
In my head around it: Tick, tick, tick, tock
Pack my baggage, pull it out my soul
Love nor liquor, love nor liquor never make it whole
This ain't a heart- this muscle pulsing
Dirty, dirty, honey drip it make it scrub it clean
How can I see? How can I touch you?
Can't lift this fog I'm crushing underneath and turning blue
I need to run away
From me
Jewels in my eyes, you cannot find them
No more you touch my smile and kiss my heart forgetting them
I'm so numb, forgotten how to feel
Just try and touch me try and hit me just to make me real
I don't care, I'm lost in apathy
Just wanna sleep please take my eyes don't even wanna see
I stand still, lost in the turning world
My heart is frozen in my chest I am the broken girl

BOMBSHELL (2011)
BOMBSHELL
High heel strut but the left one
Cut right down to the bone
Dark lashes hidin' her baby blues
Black kohl callin' her eyelids home
Wiggle hips and her lips like hell
Cheekbones sharp as a lunchcutter
Fishnet princess devil doll
Lick lips whisper melt like butter
She's a bombshell
36-24-36
Dangerous curves make you scream
Man killer got the smarts up top
Long red nails baby's mean
Muderous pout shines scarlet
Hidin' her vamp underneath
Raven hair down to her waist
Go-go grind to the beat
She's a bombshell
Honey voice with a gravel touch
Homewrecker hittin' the scene
Hourglass in a pencil skirt
Longest legs you've ever seen
Heart tucked safe inside her purse
Powder covers up her scars
Cleavage to her collar bones
Them boys chase her in their cars
HALO
I'm sure you know what it's like
Horns with no hairstyle to hide
Wake up every day and catch sight
My wings hang on the back of the door
I masquerade for one day more
Shake hands with the ones I abhor
This halo's heavy
These feathers itch me
So I hide it all for today
Smile and tell you that it's okay
Scales for makeup to hide
So I can leave this brimstone fire
Walk cold with the others alike
Faux manners just like these wings
Zirconia halo brings
More lying praises to sing
This halo's heavy
These feathers itch me
So I hide it all for today
Smile and tell you that it's okay
WITNESS
I am your host for this evening and you can't choose to turn me off
We'll sing the gospel of the night
The ten commandments I shall read you is the cocktail list
Let's dance until the morning light
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a hellyeah?
Can I get a witness?
Oh yeah!
So you been sinning all week and came here to bathe your soul clean
Baptise yourself in sweet red wine
Confess your sins to the barkeep: Judge not lest he be judged
He is the way the truth the light
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a hellyeah?
Can I get a witness?
Oh yeah!
SCAPEGOAT
Glass houses no good for you
Lugging boulders fro and to
A saviour's only there to take the blame
Projection's the only cure
Can't see what inside you are
A whipping boy for you to flagellate
One finger forward
Three fingers back
Who's to blame
for everything you lack?
A scapegoat to shoulder all your pain
Cast stones,
Break bones
Give me my sinner's throne
Scapegoat's the role for which I'm born
I stand alone
I take your cries and moans
Upon my head your crown of thorns
Punish me, punish me for all your wrongs
So preach your empty gospel
Your flock know not the difference
Speak in forked tongues to keep them by your side
They don't want what's proven true
Only lies spun by you
Keep them protected from the truth you hide
One finger forward
Three fingers back
Who's to blame
for everything you lack?
A scapegoat to shoulder all your pain
Cast stones,
Break bones
Give me my sinner's throne
Scapegoat's the role for which I'm born
I stand alone
I take your cries and moans
Upon my head your crown of thorns
Punish me, punish me for all your wrongs
OUT OF HERE
Take me to the ocean
I can't breathe for all these gills suckin'
Take me, I need to breathe the sea
Small pond, but little fish here
There's no sharks just schools I gotta leave here
Small pond closing in on me
Get me out of here
Can't swim without a will
Can't play along and follow you still
Can't swim around and round in circles
Glass walls feel like a casket
Around my heart they keep the beat trapped in
Glass walls suffocating me
Get me out of here
