Notes: Recorded only as a scratch track for Goldfly. Included originally as Track 0, a hidden track. After the band was picked up by Hybrid/Sire, it was discovered that someone had a patent on the ability to create Track 0 on CDs, so the hidden track was moved to the slightly less hidden Track 11 on Hybrid/Sire versions of the disc.
Album Version Live Version (listen to a VBR mp3)
This microphone smells like pastrami

Melanie
Is crying if I want to mind
If it were up to me
I'd cut everything from that
Oh oh

There's so many who claim to know divine
Is it stupid to think
Am I jealous missing that
Would you be
What you define
Being a crutch like this
Or grief like mine

Meow meow meow meow...

And it feels like
There's no bright side
Do you want to
Place your fist in the wall?

I feel that warmth within me
Can't help but think its all lies
So sadly stripped down
And thrust to the cold outside
Nothing God to protect me
I wish I could believe this
So sadly stripped down
And thrust to the cold outside

Meow meow meow meow...

I love you

This microphone smells like pastrami

Melanie
Is smiling at the sky
If it were up to me
I'd give everything for that
Oh oh

So many proclaim to know divine
Is it stupid to think
Am I jealous missing that
Would you be
What you define
Being a crutch like this
Or grief like mine
Oh oh

Does it feel like
There's no bright side?
Do you want to
Place your fist in the wall?

Tragedy stems from divine
How can you make it work like that?

I feel that warmth within me
Can't help but think its all lies
So sadly stripped down
And thrust to the cold outside
Nothing God to protect me
I wish I could believe this
So sadly stripped down
And thrust to the cold outside

Melanie
Smiles at his grave
You're so lucky
To be chosen and be saved

If that were me
If the choice was mine
Rather be damned right here
Or saved up there
Oh oh

Does it feel like
There's no bright side?
Do you want to
Place your fist in the wall?

Injury stems from divine
How can I make any sense from that?

I feel that warmth within me
Can't help but think its all lies
So sadly stripped down
And thrust to the cold outside
Nothing God to protect me
I wish I could believe this
So sadly stripped down
And thrust to the cold outside
