Soulbender

(专辑： Helpyourselfish - 1995)

I've got a painters eye
And a skilled musicians ears
And I'm silent, in 7 languages
And I've got all my family's fears
What lives inside you?
Yeah, what stuffs your skin?
Someone else's memory
How come I never hear what I wanna hear
How come I never see what I wanna see

The choice is small
If there's choice at all
But I'm holding on
As if I'm going to fall
Now I know how it feels
To be ragged and wild
Whipped like a stepchild

Feel the soulbender
Fear's knocking at your skin
Feel the soulbender
Just to see if any soul is in

Whether one want them to or not
So far between a while well spent
And the time spent keeping up
Make one devoted
And settle like a bird
Forgive and try not to hurt
Don't take your garbage
Anywhere but out
Before the pup in your heart
Becomes a dog in your mind

And it's licking my brains
Sucking reason out
It will be cooking my head
With the lid on tight
You know how it feels
Till I'm ragged and wild
Whipped like a stepchild

Feel the soulbender
Fear's knocking at your skin
Feel the soulbender
Just to see if any soul is in
Feel the soulbender
Fear's knocking at your skin
Feel the soulbender
Bend you, break you

With empty eyes; blank, like two wet stones
In search for a home; in search for a soul
Handed down on the family network
Learning how it works... to be a jerk!

Feel the soulbender
Fear's knocking at your skin
Feel the soulbender
Just to see if any soul is in
Feel the soulbender
Fear's knocking at your skin
Feel the soulbender
Just to see if any soul is in
Feel the soulbender...
