Rather Ripped Complete Lyrics

Incinerate Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I ripped your heart out from your chest

Replaced it with a grenade blast

[Chorus]

Incinerate

[Post-Chorus]

The firefighters hose me down

I don't care, I'll burn out anyhow

It's four-alarm, girl, nothing to see

Hear the sirens come for me, huh-huh-huh-yeah

[Verse 2]

You doused my soul with gasoline

You flicked a match into my brain

[Chorus]

Incinerate

[Post-Chorus]

The firefighters are so nice

I remember you so cold as ice

Now flames are licking at your feet

Sirens come to put me out of misery, oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

You wave your torch into my eyes

Flamethrower lover burning mind

[Chorus]

Incinerate

What a Waste Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey give me hollow stimulation

It's so sleazy to be free

Let's invest in dull creation

Thrill city cheap legacy

[Chorus]

What a waste

You're so chaste

I can't wait

To taste your face

[Verse 2]

Vapid signals lead me to you

A sublime spectacular dud

Safe and sound from chatter confusion

Get the picture yes it's clear as mud

[Chorus]

What a waste

You're so chaste

I can't wait

To taste your face

[Verse 1]

Hey give me hollow stimulation

It's so sleazy to be free

Let's invest in dull creation

Thrill city cheap legacy

[Chorus]

What a waste

You're so chaste

I can't wait

To taste your face

[Outro]

I wouldn't lead you on

Ever since your song yeah

You could have had it all

But you didn't call me

Lights Out Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She scans the room

For a star to consume

When eye contact is made

I suggest son you fix your grave

[Chorus]

'Cause it's lights out for you

Lights out for you

There's not a hell of a lot you can do

It's lights out for you

[Verse 2]

He rolls his eyes

At the thought of paradise

But when he makes that insect sound

Then it's time girl for you to leave town

[Chorus]

'Cause it's lights out for you

Lights out for you

There's not a hell of a lot you can do

It's lights out for you

[Verse 1]

She scans the room

For a star to consume

When eye contact is made

I suggest son you fix your grave

[Chorus]

'Cause it's lights out for you

Lights out for you

There's not a hell of a lot you can do

It's lights out for you

Helen Lundeberg Lyrics

[Chorus]

Helen Lundeberg

Illusory landscape

Five decades of paint

Helen Lundeberg

Illusory landscape

Four expressions of elegance

Elegance

[Verse]

Blue river, open door

Landscape white and orange

Daybreak by the sea

A narrow view sloping horizon

Marina, the poet's road

Sundial cimerrian landscape

A quiet place, moon, sea and mist

Desert road tree in the marsh

Biological fantasy

Ocean view, water map

Ambiguity estuary

[Chorus]

Helen Lundeberg

Illusory landscape

Five decades of paint

Helen Lundeberg

Illusory landscape

Four expressions of elegance

[Verse]

Blue river, open door

Landscape white and orange

Daybreak by the sea

A narrow view sloping horizon

Marina, the poet's road

Sundial cimerrian landscape

A quiet place, moon, sea and mist

Desert road tree in the marsh

Biological fantasy

Ocean view, water map

Ambiguity estuary

[Chorus]
