1.	Black Dahlia 03:03	lyrics
Blue moon, black eye exhibition Haemorrhage cold war apparitions Shadows rise up from the past Help me find my other half Seedy suitors come line up Hoping they can make the cut Braindead Betty lost her head Left it in the garden bed I am Black Dahlia Make me famous, make me a star I am your root rot, yeah I'm your dysmorphia, your dysmorphia Shark-infested city streets Hotel rooms and dirty sheets Aviators hit the sky Baby boomers drop like flies Undertakers overlook The writing in your picture book Dr. Danger did his best Hid her in his office desk I am Black Dahlia Make me famous, make me a star I am your root rot, yeah I'm your amnesia, your amnesia Can you hear what I can hear? Can you hear? I am Black Dahlia Make me famous, make me a star I am your root rot, yeah I'm your hysteria, ha ha hysteria Do you think that you can get away with this, do you? Do you think there's any getting out of this?
2.	Digital Graveyard 03:12	lyrics
I wanna be your virtual valentine Underneath a pixelated sky Press your buttons until you explode Try to keep you alive Nothing's gonna be the same 'Cause my Tamagotchi baby's gone away and I am the queen of the Tamagotchi graveyard Everybody plays my game I wanna keep you in my bedside drawer I'll show you things you've never seen before Put in your batteries and switch you on Try to beat your high score Nothing's gonna be the same 'Cause my Tamagotchi baby's gone away and I am the queen of the Tamagotchi graveyard Everybody plays my game Analogue love in a digital graveyard Digital heart in an analogue graveyard Analogue love in a digital graveyard Digital heart in an analogue graveyard I wanna be your console concubine I wanna push your buttons all the time Find your glitches, fix your bugs Clean you 'til you shine Nothing's gonna be the same 'Cause my Tamagotchi baby's gone away and I am the queen of the Tamagotchi graveyard Everybody plays my game Analogue love in a digital graveyard Digital heart in an analogue graveyard Analogue love in a digital graveyard Digital heart in an analogue graveyard My best friend was plastic and automatic Now he's rotting alone underneath a headstone A distraction machine on a tiny screen Sad obituary - my pet has gone already I wanna hide you in my pencil case I wanna pause you when you misbehave When the next level is hard to reach Restart is complete... Analogue love in a digital graveyard Digital heart in an analogue graveyard Analogue love in a digital graveyard Digital heart in an analogue graveyard
3.	Macbeth 02:48	lyrics
I need you like a shot in the arm So tie the knot around my neck Something borrowed, black and blue Underwhelmed and overdressed I need you like a pat on the head Tie the knot around my neck White Godiva, frozen feet These damn spots are everywhere Get out, get out Goddamn, goddamn Get out, get out extortionists You know I'll never fall for this Goddamn, goddamn apologists You're really making me feel sick (I need you) like the stars in the sky (I need you) like a lullaby (I need you) like a kiss goodnight (I need you) like fire and ice (I need you) like like a shot in the arm (I need you) like a stab in the dark (I need you) like a panic attack (I need you) like a knife in my back Get out, get out Goddamn, goddamn Get out, get out extortionists You know I'll never fall for this Goddamn, goddamn apologists You're really making me feel sick Get out, get out you spoiled brat You know I'm never coming back Goddamn, goddamnn sycophants All scabs fall off in the end
4.	Rags to Riches 02:42	lyrics
Thank you for the allergy Makes me fall down on my knees Thank you for the DNA Now I'll never fade away Psychic consummation Phantom pregnancy Pseudo imitation Hipster apathy Thank you for the sabotage You're a caustic superstar Thank you for the parasite Makes it hard to sleep at night Toxic radiation Pouring over me Seamstress secret agents Taking back the streets We built this girl on sticks and stones Broken hearts and broken homes A rags-to-riches fallacy A picket fence majority Thank you for the sanctity Wear your morals on your sleeves Thank you for the cyanide Now we know we'll be alright Schoolgirl revolution Coming straight for you Teenage retribution Nothing you can do We built this girl on sticks and stones Broken hearts and broken homes A rags-to-riches fallacy A picket fence majority Inside, inside out Upside, upside down Inside, inside out Upside, upside down We built this girl on sticks and stones Broken hearts and broken homes A rags-to-riches fallacy A picket fence majority
5.	Bag of Bones 02:53	lyrics
Hey, bag of bones Don't forget my head Don't forget to set the table Don't forget to beg Oh well, oh well, well well well A honeymoon in hell I do, I do, I do I swear I'll bury you Hey, bag of bones Don't forget my teeth Don't forget to sort the garbage Don't forget to bleed Oh well, oh well, well well well A honeymoon in hell I do, I do, I do I swear I'll bury you I've been dumpster diving for your heart I've walked through garbage and on glass I'd sell my marrow for your love I want my bag of bones back Hey, bag of bones Don't forget my jaw Don't forget to make your bed Don't forget to crawl Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah My God, my God, my God I've been dumpster diving for your heart I've walked through garbage and on glass My bag of bones in your backyard I want my bag of bones back
6.	Plague Princess 03:44	lyrics
I always win, you always lose My idols taught me how to shoot I harvest sugar with my mind My idols taught me how to die Someone's gonna lose their head If they mess with the princess Someone's gonna lose their head Something's coming to infect Everybody in this house If it finds a single cell I love to hate myself Every year's another war My father taught me how to score With water running through my veins My mother taught me how to dig my grave Someone's gonna lose their head If they mess with the princess Someone's gonna lose their head Something's coming to infect Everybody in this house If it finds a single cell (I am better than you, my friend) My hair is longer than yours, my friend (My lips are redder than yours, my friend) My teeth are whiter than yours, my friend (My dress is better than yours) I am older than you I am taller than you I am higher than you Higher than you Higher than you Someone's gonna lose their head If they mess with the princess Someone's gonna lose their head Something's coming to infect Everybody in this house If it finds a single cell I love to hate myself I love to hate myself
7.	Ghost 03:16	lyrics
Mermaids live for forty years But water witches don't exist They bite their tongues and walk on coals Until the ocean foam dissolves Sisters never understand That water-walking is our plan They cut the golden hair that grows They sell it to their Romeos I'm haunting you I'm hunting me I wanna be a ghost For Halloween Catskin comes in with the rain It's 1692 again Midwife martyrs spread the news Of Goblin Market's rotting fruit Debt collectors hang around Until we go into the ground They steal the marbles from our eyes They give them to their trophy wives I'm haunting you I'm hunting me I wanna be a ghost For Halloween Baba Yaga lives alone Deep in the exclusion zone Her graphite eyes light up the eaves She sleeps in sibling rivalry Vultures circle all around Steal the ivory from our mouths Poachers always on the hunt Looking for a debutante I'm haunting you I'm hunting me I wanna be a ghost For Halloween He's touching her She's touching him He's gonna be the saint Of broken skin
