"I could make you satisfied in everything you do All your secret wishes could right now be coming true And be forever with my poison arms around you - Angeles I don't want to walk around I don't even want to breathe I live in a southern town Where all you can do is grit your teeth - Southern Belle High on amphetamines The moon is a light bulb breaking It'll go around with anyone But it won't come down for anyone - St. Ides Heaven Don't be cross, it's sick what I want - Christian Brothers The "
