It's been a while since I updated this book. But I was scrolling past it, and I just need to update this book tonight. I've got more songs to add, and I'm behind as it is. So let's just steamroll through this one, shall we? I don't own the song, band, lyrics, or video. Speaking of videos, if you're a fan of trippy music videos, watch any of TOOL's. Parabola is one I'd recommend. Or this one. Or any of them. This is dragging on for far too long.
Enjoy, sorry for the wait (and obscenely long intro message), and thanks for reading, listening, and supporting this book and others!
...........
Eye on the TV,
'Cause tragedy thrills me,
Whatever flavor it happens to be like,
Killed by the husband,
Drowned by the ocean,
Shot by his own son,
She used a poison,
In his tea,
And kissed him goodbye,
That's my kind of story,
It's no fun until someone dies.
.
..........
Don't look at me like,
I am a monster,
Frown out your one face,
But with the other,
Stare like a junkie,
Into the TV,
Stare like a zombie,
While the mother,
Holds her child,
Watches him die,
Hands to the sky crying,
"Why, oh why?"
'Cause I need to watch things die,
From a distance.
Vicariously I live,
While the whole world dies,
You all need it too, don't lie.
.........
Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause,
Until the blood is flowing.
Neither the brave nor bold,
Were writers of the stories told,
We won't give pauses
Until the blood is flowing.
I need to watch things die,
From a good safe distance,
Vicariously I,
Live while the whole world dies,
You all feel the same, so
Why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain come down,
Drum on grave and ground.
Part vampire,
Part warrior,
Carnivore and voyeur,
Stare at the transmittal,
Sing to the death rattle,
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
Credulous at best,
Your desire to believe in,
Angels in the hearts of men,
Pull your head out of your hippie haze,
And give a listen,
Shouldn't have to say it all again,
The universe is hostile, so impersonal,
Devour to survive, so it is,
So it's always been,
We all feed on tragedy,
It's like blood to a vampire.
Vicariously I,
Live while the whole world dies,
Much better you than I!

Lyrics to Songs I Love (with vids)
PoetryThe title should specify what this is about pretty well....... There may be a few songs that are probably pretty mature, but most are relatively tame. And, hey, feel free to leave a comment! Hope you guys like the new cover! Oh, and you'll see this...
