WHO KILLED MARILYN? 
-------------------
5:25 August fifth, 1962
Found her lying on her chest
Her face all turning blue
You think it was an overdose
But could it have been the pact
Could it have been the Kennedys
Was it LAPD

It ain't a mystery
Baby not to me
Funny, funny, funny mystery
Baby not to me

Rotted corpse, sex decay
Breasts all full of slugs
No answer for the accident
Her cunt has all dried up, you see

5:25 August fifth, 1962
Make it seem a suicide
Make it seem a suicide
Make it seem a suicide
Make it seem a suicide

It ain't a mystery
Baby not to me
Funny, funny, funny mystery
Baby not to me

It ain't a mystery
Baby not to me
Funny, funny, funny mystery
Baby not to me

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa-oh


SPOOK CITY U.S.A.
-----------------
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.

See the ghosts as you drive past graveyards      
Spook City U.S.A.
Deathly souls in American graveyards 
Spook City U.S.A.

Here is where I'll die for sure                  
I don't want no substitute
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.

See-through spectres cruise the hallways
Spook City U.S.A.
Poltergeists in the middle of the roadway 
Spook City U.S.A.

Here is where I'll die for sure                  
I don't want no substitute
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.

Haunted house on the highway roadside 
Spook City U.S.A.
It extends an eerie invitation                   
Spook City U.S.A.

Here is where I'll die for sure
I don't want no substitute
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.

Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.
Spook City U.S.A.

LIFE FADES AWAY
---------------
My time has come, the clouds are calling
December wind has come my way
And now I feel the will falling
All at once it's too late
Life fades away

The night is my wake
All thoughts slip away
And even though I must leave you
Remember I love you

I'll always be in your memory
And I will always be with you when I'm gone

Fade, life fades away
Oh yea, yea, yea, yea
Life fades away

I'm tired of tomorrow
Lost for today
I long to be
At peace forever
My eternity
And even though I will miss you
I must leave you

Fade, life fades away
Oh yea, yea, yea, yea
Life fades away

So please forgive me
And try not to cry
I long to be at peace forever more
Forever more
Oh yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
Life fades away
Life fades away
Life fades away
Away

One last thing to say
Life fades away


YOU & ME (LESS THAN ZERO)
-------------------------
You and me, we were there
Through the best and worst of the years
How I wish it was then
And you were still right here with me

But how can you bring back the dead
And try to tell me you're sorry
How can you live with yourself
Knowing, of me

Got to be a friend again
Forgive me, can't you see me in your darkness
I'm feeling lonely, less than zero

You and me, we were tied
How I miss that feeling now
All our lives, all this guilt
I must feel it till the end of time

Oh, but how can you bring back the dead
And try to tell me you're sorry
How can you live with yourself
Knowing, of me

I got to be a friend again
Forgive me, can't you see me in your darkness
Feeling lonely, less than zero

Now, come on, come on, yea

(Got to be a friend again
 Forgive me, can't you see me in your darkness
 Feeling lonely, less than zero)

You and me
We were
Oh, how could we let our friendship end
All our lives
We were free
We were

Come on, come on, come on, come on, yea

(Got to be a friend again
 Forgive me, can't you see me in your darkness
 Feeling lonely, less than zero)

You and me 
We were 
How could we live through sorrow 
All our lives 
We were free 
We were 
Whoa, oh, ooh

THIRTEEN
--------
Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back
I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at
Got the number 13 tattooed on my neck
When the ink starts to itch, then the black will turn to red

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young

Got a long line of heartache, I carry it well
The list of lives I've broken reach from here to hell
Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back
I pray you don't look at me, I pray I don't look back

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young

They just gave me the number when I was young
