Last Playboy Interview 
My favorite book is TV Guide
My favorite band is no longer alive
I live with twenty machines
I wish I lived with twenty wives
If you're wondering where the fuzz is...
And you're wondering where the raps are...
Then you never really knew me
How can you rate me only one star?
I never eat red meat at all
I stay away from crowded malls
My indie label's called Channel Three
Critics like you get the albums for free
But you're still wondering where the fuzz is
I wrote songs for a few pop groups
I play the drums not just sample loops
When I kick back I drink herbal tea
But that's now what you want to know about me
No
You're wondering where the fuzz is

Leave You Far Behind 
I wanna take you on a roller coaster

I wanna push it right over the line (2x)
The line that you draw as you draw me near(2x)
I want(5x), I wanna leave you far behind...

 Les Bourgeois
Le coeur bien au chaud
Les yeux dans la bière
Chez la grosse Adrienne de Montalant
Avec l'ami Jojo
Et avec l'ami Pierre
On allait boire nos vingt ans
Jojo se prenait pour Voltaire
Et Pierre pour Casanova
Et moi moi qui étais le plus fier
Moi moi je me prenais pour moi
Et quand vers minuit passaient les notaires
Qui sortaient de l'hôtel "Des Trois Faisans"

(chorus)
On leur montrait notre cul et nos bonnes manières
En leur chantant
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient bête
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient

Le coeur bien au chaud
Les yeux dans la bière
Chez la grosse Adrienne de Montalant
Avec l'ami Jojo
Et avec l'ami Pierre
On allait brûler nos vingt ans
Voltaire dansait comme un vicaire
Et Casanova n'osait pas
Et moi moi qui restais le plus fier
Moi j'étais presque aussi saoul que moi
Et quand vers minuit passaint les notaires
Qui sortaient de l'hôtel "Des Trois Faisans"

(chorus)

Le coeur au repos
Les yeux bien sur terre
Au bar de l'hôtel "Des Trois Faisans"
Avec Maître Jojo
Et avec Maître Pierre
Entre notaires on passe le temps
Jojo parle de Voltaire
Et Pierre de Casanova
Et moi moi moi qui suis resté le plus fier
Moi moi je parle encore de moi
Et c'est en sortant vers minuit Monsieur l' Comissaire
Que tous les soirs de chez la Montalant
De jeunes "peigne-culs" nous montrent leur derrière

(chorus)

Episode:
"Double Date"
Scene: Michael meets with Lisa
Life In Mono 
The stranger sang a theme
From someone else's dream
The leaves began to fall
And no one spoke at all
But I can't seem to recall
When you came along
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do

The tree-lined avenue
Begins to fade from view
Drowning past regrets
In tea and cigarettes
But I can't seem to forget
When you came along
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do

Ingenue
I just don't know what to do

Living Dead Girl 
Rage in the cage
And piss upon the stage
There's only one sure way
To bring the giant down
Defunct the strings
Of cemetery things
With one flat foot
On the devil's wing

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl

Raping the geek
And hustling the freak
Like a hunchback juice
On a sentimental noose
Operation filth
They love to love the wealth
Of an SS Whore
Making scary sounds

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl

Psyclone Jack
Hallucinating Hack
Thinks Donna Reed
Eats dollar bills
Goldfoot machine
Creates another fiend
So Beautiful,
They make you kill

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl
Blood on her skin
Dripping with sin
Do it again
Living Dead Girl
Blood on her skin
Dripping with sin
Do it again

Scene: The raid on the
lab
Loaded Gun 
I'm living two lives, I'm high and I'm low
To my eyes, I push and I pull
Jekyll or Hyde, You'll never be sure, Sometimes
Light as a bird, Doesn't seem right
I am a gun and I am loaded
I'm taking you down
I'll take you down
I am a bomb about to go and
You're going down
I'll take you down
Breaking you down
I'm pounding you down
Breaking you down
I'm taking you down
Filling your eyes, Now that you know
You're inside, Locked in the door
You know you can't hide
'Cause I have a key, You'll find
The beast within me, Now is the time
I am a gun and I am loaded
I' m taking you down
I'll take you down
I am a bomb about to go and
You're going down
 I'll break you down
I'll break you down
 I'll take you down
Breaking you down
Pounding you down
Breaking you down
I'm taking you down

Episode:
"Hard Landing"
Scene: Michael remembering Nikita
The Love Thieves 
Oh the tears that you weep
For the poor tortured souls
Who fall at your feet
With their love begging bowls

All the clerks and the tailors
The sharks and the sailors
All good at their trades
They'll always be failures

Alms for the poor
For the wretched disciples
And the love that they swore
With their hearts on the Bible

Beseeching the honor
To sit at your table
And feast on your holiness
As long as they're able

Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices

Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers

You're holding court
With your lips and your smile
Your body's a halo
Their minds are on trial

Sure as Adam is Eve
Sure as Jonah turned whaler
They're crooked love thieves
And you are their jailor

Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices

Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all others

Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all others

Lullaby 
Always and forever
We'll be free
Always and forever
Be with me

We'll have love aplenty
We'll have joys outnumbered
We'll share perfect moments
You and me

Always and forever
You will see
Always and forever
Just be with me

We'll have love aplenty
We'll have joys outnumbered
We'll share perfect moments
You and me
You and me
You and me
