she didn't wanna know
she couldn't run away
cause she was crazy
she gave it all away
she saw her baby break
and in the air it hung
that she was dull razors
and I said
I wanna fill you up
I wanna break you
I wanna give you up
from one another
another one should come to one another
no one should come between us
still I was lonely
and she was by my side
my one and only
knows that she could never hide
I couldn't feel her
and it was just a game
cause I was lonely and she was crazy
rat-tat-tat, ka boom boom
now take that
and just a bit of this
cause I'm a watcher
and I'm a doer of none
come to save you
cause you're all mine
I hurt where I can't feel
I feel where I can't hurt
I know where I can't know
I bleed for me and mine
ka-boom, ohh, a rat-tat-tat
and some good ole bliss
cause I'm a sister
and I'm a motherfuck
I am made of shamrocks
I am made of stern stuff
I am never enough
I am the forgotten child
and I said
I wanna fill you up
I wanna break you
I wanna give you up
from one another
no one should ever come
in between us, between us and our love
Mary had a little lamb
her face was white as snow
and everywhere that Mary went
I was sure to go
now Mary's got a problem
and Mary's not a stupid girl
Mary's got some deep shit
and Mary does not forget
and this is how
Mary's garden grows
and this is how
Mary has her ghosts
and into the eyes of the jackyl I say ka-boom
now we begin descent
to where we've never been
there is no going back
this wasn't meant to last
this is a hell on earth
we are meant to serve
and she will never learn
she will never learn
bye bye
baby goodbye
bye bye

"XYU is kind of a disturbing one though. It's the monster inside of the
band trying to get out! That's actually the song that
we recorded all live-live guitars, live vocals, live bass. We set up all
in the same room and it just goes against all the rules of
recording no separation at all!"
