Magneto Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mostly I never knew which way was out
Once it was on, it was on, and that was that
The umbilicus was a faucet that fountained rabid blood
And I spun on my wheel like a laboratory rat
[Verse 2]
I was an electrical storm on the bathroom floor, clutching the bowl
My blood was full of gags and other people's diseases
My monstrous little memory had swallowed me whole
It was the year I officially became the Bride of Jesus
[Chorus]
In love, in love, in love you laugh
In love you move, I move
And one more time with feeling
For love, you love, I laugh, you laugh
I saw you in half
And the stars are splashed across the ceiling
[Verse 3]
Oh, the urge to kill somebody was basically overwhelming
I had such hard blues down there in the supermarket queues
And I had a sudden urge to become someone, someone like you
Who started out with less than anyone I ever knew
[Chorus]
In love, in love, I love, you love, I laugh, you laugh
I move, you move
And one more time with feeling
I love, you love, I laugh, you laugh
I'm sawn in half
And all the stars are splashed across the ceiling
[Verse 4]
Oh and oh, you come shyly, softly to the hole to drink
Come as far as the edge of my blood, and then swim
And in the bathroom mirror I see me vomit in the sink
And all through the house we hear the hyena's hymns
[Chorus]
Of love, I love, you love, I love, you love
I laugh, you laugh, I move, you move, you move
And one more time with feeling
I love, you love, I laugh, you laugh
We saw each other in half
And all the stars are splashed and splattered across the ceiling
I Need You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you're feeling like a lover, nothing really matters anymore
I saw you standing there in the supermarket
With your red dress falling and your eyes are to the ground
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters when the one you love is gone
[Chorus]
It's still in me, baby I need you
In my heart, I need you
[Verse 2]
Cause nothing really matters
I'm standing in the doorway
You're walking 'round to my place
In your red dress, hair hanging down
With your eyes on one, we love the ones we can
Cause nothing really matters when you're standing
[Chorus]
Standing
I need you, need you
[Verse 3]
Cause nothing really matters
We followed the lines in the palms of our hands
You're standing in the supermarket
Nothing, holding hands
In your red dress, falling, falling in, falling in
The long black cars waiting 'round
I will miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone away forever
Cause nothing really matters
I thought I knew better, so much better
[Chorus]
And I need you
I need you
[Verse 4]
Cause nothing really matters
Oh the night we wrecked like a train
Purring cars in the pouring rain
Never felt right about it, never again
Cause nothing really matters
Nothing really matters anymore
Not even today, no matter how hard I try
When you're standing in the aisle
And baby, nothing, nothing, nothing
[Chorus]
I need, I need, I need you
I need you, I need you
Just breathe, just breathe
I need you
