The rough embrace of gold skinned hands the toss of that hair they wave and prance It seems so real to the infant mind Whose body is climbing from the cradle to stand (at last) Give rest, O Lord to the Souls of the Nude Who break who broke who simply refuse to be clothed in the robes that You choose WIth the Souls of the Nude give rest... What glorious frames in the glow of health the glow of youth the flames and the fire And when they hold each other close with a discerning eye you can see what they lack (inside) Give rest, O Lord to the Souls of the Nude Who break who broke who simply refuse to be clothed in the robes that You choose WIth the Souls of the Nude give rest... This empty life this bland recreation This toss and this jack and this weak simulation It's the golden machine that wrecks every generation And with the Souls of the Nude, We offer our our consideration Give rest, O Lord to the Souls of the Nude Who break who broke who simply refuse to be clothed in the robes that You chose WIth the Souls of the Nude give rest...

All alone again These feelings are no friends The whispers of spirits: "JUST GIVE IN TO ME!" Time to undress again It's meaningless again Angel on my shoulder says, "Come unto me!" A cracked life, bodies so comely "JUST GIVE IN TO ME!" (No!) A Nectar drawn from nothing "Just give it to me!" (Oh!) Like prayers and sunbeams, my hands slip right through these... Oh! A tightrope hung from your bedroom ceiling, a dangerous stretch with no safety net... Oh! I'm alone again darkness is no friend Evil whispers, can you hear them? "WON'T YOU GIVE IN TO ME? (No!) GIVE IN TO ME! (No!) Aching wound , warmth of the Spirit Come unto me (Oh!) Just give it to me! (Oh!) Evil whispers, can you hear them? "WON'T YOU GIVE IN TO ME? (No!) JUST GIVE IN TO ME! (No!) Aching wound, Holy Spirit! Come unto me (Oh!) Just give it to me! (Oh!)

Fun! 03:58
I'm no fun I'm no fun William Murray would have nothing to do with me A Sad Clown who's really sad A Mad Man who's truly mad I'm no fun I'm no fun I'm no fun Like Icarus in the sun His wings melted and he felt it Oh! The magic is gone when the grey comes along And the trousers are cutting a groove in my lungs I'm no fun Like Icarus in the sun His wings melted and he felt it Oh! I'm no fun like Icarus in the sun his wings melted and he felt it oh, he felt it!

In the fall before the buildings were burning down we took our pills and our pains and made our way into the town those were dance hall days those were nights on the edge of cool Music was the best and music was the worst it was an electronic hearse And those days would have been better spent trying to repent trying to lay low or trying to follow but now… I hate rock and roll I hate rock and roll I hate rock and roll My brother guessed it all right but he seems to have avoided this plight I was a better carpenter I shouldn't have played guitar I should have been content My dear brother guessed it all right and from what I can see he's avoided this blight I was a carpenter I should have never picked up the guitar I should have been content but I wasn't and now… I hate rock and roll I hate rock and roll I hate rock and roll The damned know it best sitting on the fires that ever last but they won't recant instead they sickly chant how they need the beat without rock music some can't sleep but I'll be fine… Because I can live without rock and roll I hate rock and roll...
