A Perfect Circle - The Nurse Who Loved Me

Say hello to the rug's topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You can't see it but you know it's there, so don't neglect it

I'm taking her home with me, all dressed in white
She's got everything I need, pharmacy keys
She's falling hard for me, I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes, but you sneezed them out while sleeping
Say hello to everything you've left behind
It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it

I'm taking her home with me, all dressed in white
She's got everything I need, some pills in a little cup
She's falling hard for me, I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

She's got everything I need, pharmacy keys
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

A Perfect Circle - Weak And Powerless

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless over you

Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless over you

Little angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say
He promised I would find a little solace
And some peace of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless
Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless
Over you
Over you

A Perfect Circle - The Package

Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
Eye on what i'm after
I don't need another friend
Smile and drop the cliche
'Till you think I'm listening
I take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again

Peripheral on the package
Don't care to settle in
Time to feed the monster
I don't need another friend
Comfort is a mystery
Crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for, then I'm out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get just what I need
Lie to get what I crave
Lie and smile to get what's mine

Eye on what i'm after
I don't need another friend
Nod and watch your lips move
If you need me to pretend
Because clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
I'll take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie and smile to get what's mine

Give this to me
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie to smile and get what's mine

Give this to me
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Give this to me

Take what's mine, take what's mine, mine...
Take what's mine, take what's mine, take what's mine,
This is mine, mine, mine

A Perfect Circle - The Noose

So glad to see you have overcome them
Completely silent now.
With heaven's help,
You’ve cast your demons out.
And not to pull your halo down
around your neck and tug you off your cloud,
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead.

Recall the deeds as if they're all someone else's atrocious stories.
Now you stand reborn before us all.
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground

But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead with your halo slipping down.

Your halo’s slipping down to choke you

A Perfect Circle - The Outsider

Help me if you can,
It's just that this,
Is not the way I'm wired,
So could you please,
Help me understand why,
You've given in to woe these reckless dark desires, you're
Lying to yourself again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it,
Pound it on a fault line,
What will it take to get it through to you, precious?
I’m over this
Why do you wanna throw it away like this,
Such a mess,
Why would I wanna watch you?

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time,
What's your rush now?
Everyone will have his day to die

Medicated,
Drama queen,
Picture perfect numb belligerence,
Narcissistic,
Drama queen,
Craving fame and all it's decadence

Lying through your teeth again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it,
Pound it on a fault line,
What will it take to get it through to you precious?
I'm over this, why do you want to throw it away like this?
Such a mess
Why would I wanna watch you?

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time,
What's your rush now?
Everyone will have his day to die

They were right about you
They were right about you

Lying to my face again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it, you're pounding on a fault line,
What will it take to get through to you precious?
I’m over this
Why do you want to throw it away like this?

Such a mess,
I'm over this
Over this!

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time,
What's your rush now?
Everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger,
Should your drama prove sincere,
Do it somewhere
Far away from here
