I hear echoes of a thousand screams As I lay me down to sleep There's a black hole deep inside of me Reminding me, that I that I've lost my backbone Somewhere in Stockholm I lost my backbone, somewhere in Stockholm That's me right there on the corner,

Through my head, All the life running through her hair, Dreams are made winding through my head, The piercing radiant moon, The storming of poor June, Approaching guiding light, Our shallow years in fright, Before you know, Awake, Your lives are open

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter I'll be glad I got 'em And make believe it came from you I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet They're gonna knock me off my feet A lotta kisses at the bottom I'm gonna smile and say I hope you're feeling

Soothing repeat I look down at my feet It's a hypnotist's arm And it works like a charm But I won't be deprived Real worlds, surreal life There is time Go to sleep You'll be fine

Oh, strip that down, girl You know, I love it, when the music's loud But c'mon, strip that down for me, baby Now there's a lot of people in the crowd But only you can dance with me So put your hands on my body You know, I love it when the music's loud

I want a little steam on my clothes What's the matter daddy, come on, save my soul I want a little sugar in my bowl I want a little sweetness down in my soul I could stand some lovin', oh so bad Feel so funny, I feel so sad Maybe I could fix things up so

Running for the crown I’m running for the crown I'm running for the Baby on fire I see it when I close my eyes Think it's time So hit me on, hit me on my bones When I'm sitting on, I'm sitting on my throne

Somehow to believe In the choice I made Am I better off this way? I can hear the voice inside my head Saying you should be with me instead Every time I'm feeling down, I wonder What would it be like with you around? And I want, I need I was only a kid

Do not obey Never one to be held back or held down I'd write my name so the king could see I will follow the true declaration And find some hope in what mankind could be I've worked so hard Let my deeds be my witness And let my words flow through

Hear me, I'm cryin' out, I'm ready now Turn my world upside down, find me I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud I need you to see, I'm screaming for you to please Can you hear me? Are you listening? Hear me, hear me, hear me
