九吋釘( Nine Inch Nails ) Pretty Hate Machine歌詞
1.Head Like A Hole

God money, I'll do anything for you
God money, just tell me what you want me to
God money, nail me up against the wall
God money, don't want everything, he wants it all

No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me

Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control

Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve

God money's not looking for the cure
God money's not concerned with the sick amongst the pure
God money, let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God money's not one to choose.


2.Terrible Lie

Hey god, why are you doing this to me?
Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?
Why am I seething with this animosity?
Hey god, I think you owe me a great big apology

Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

Hey god, I really don't know what you mean
Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
Hey god, can this world really be as sad as it seems

Don't take it away from me
I need someone to hold on to
Don't take it away from me
I need someone to hold on to

Hey god, there's nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, security and pride
I'm all alone in a world you must despise
Hey god, I believed the promises, the promises and lies

You made me throw it all away
My morals left to decay
How many you betray
You've taken everything

My head is filled with disease
My skin is begging you please
I'm on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe

I give you everything
My sweet everything
Hey god, I really don't know who I am
In this world of piss.


3.Down In It

Kinda like a cloud I was up, way up in the sky and I was feeling
some feelings
You wouldn't believe sometimes I don't believe them myself and I
decided I was
Never coming down just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it
was just about
Too small to see, but I watched it way too long and that dot was
pulling me
Down

I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it
I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it

Well shut up so what, what does it matter now I was swimming in
the haze now I
Crawl on the ground and everything I never liked about you is
kind of seeping
Into me try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how
everything works
Out ('I guess the joke's on me ' she said)

I used to be so big and strong
I used to know my right from wrong
I used to never be afraid
I used to be somebody

I used to have something inside
Now it's just this hole that's open wide
I used to want it all
I used to be somebody

I'll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle's already in
my eye and
All the world's weight is on my back and I don't even know why
and what I
Used to think was me is just a fading memory
I looked him right in the eye and said 'goodbye.'


4.Sanctified

It's still getting worse after everything I tried
What if I found a way to wash it all aside
What if she touches with those fingertips
As the words spill out like fire from her lips

If she says come inside, I'll come inside for her
If she says give it all, I'll give everything to her
I am justified
I am purified
I am sanctified
Inside you

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel
As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell
I still dream of lips I never should have never kissed
Well, she knows exactly what I can't resist

I'm just caught up in another of her spells
She's turning me into someone else
Everyday I hope and pray this will end
But when I can, I do it all again

As surely as the blade's course is run
Maybe my kingdom's finally come.


5.Something I Can Never Have

I still recall the taste of my tears
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore

Come on, tell me
Make this all go away
You make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And I'm starting to scare myself
Make this all go away
You make this all go away

I just want something
I just want something I can never have
You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now
This thing is slowly taking me apart
Grey would be the color if I had a heart
I just want something I can never have
In this place it seems like such a same
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see
Just a fading, fucking reminder of who I used to be

I just want something
I just want something I can never have
I just want something I can never have
Think I know what you meant
That night on my bed
Still picking at this scab
I wish you were dead
Your sweat and Perry Ellis
Just stains on my sheets.


6.Kinda I Want To

I can't shake this feeling from my head
There's a devil sleeping in my bed
He's watching you from across the way
I cannot make this feeling go away

I know it's not the right thing
And I know it's not the good thing
But kinda I want to

I'm not sure of what I should do
When everything I'm thinking of is you
All of my excuses turn to lies
Maybe god will cover up his eyes

Maybe just for tonight
We can pretend it's alright
What's the price I pay
I don't care what they say
I want to
I want to (I'll take my chance tonight.)


7.Sin

You give me the reason
You give me control
I gave you my purity
My purity you stole
Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise
Am I just too stupid to realize
Stale incense, old sweat and lies, lies, lies

It comes down to this
Your kiss
Your fist
And your strain
It gets under my skin
Within
Take in the extent of my sin

You give me the anger
You give me the nerve
Carry out the sentence
I get what I deserve
I'm just an effigy to be defaced
To be disgraced
Your need for me has been replaced
And if I can't have everything, well then, just give me a taste.


8.That's What I Get

Just when everything was making sense
You took away all my self-confidence
Now all that I've been hearing must be true
I guess I'm not the only boy for you

But that's what I get
That's what I get
That's what I get
That's what I get

How could you turn us into this?
After you just taught me how to kiss you
I told you I'd never say goodbye
Now I'm slipping on the tears you made me cry

Why does it come as a surprise
To think that I was so naive
Maybe didn't mean so much
But it meant everything to me.


9.The Only Time

I'm drunk
And right now I'm so in love with you
And I don't want to think too much about what we should or
shouldn't do
Lay my hands on heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars
While the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car

Nothing quite like the feel of something new
Maybe I'm all messed up
Maybe I'm all messed up
Maybe I'm all messed up in you
Maybe I'm all messed up
Maybe I'm all messed up
Maybe I'm all messed up
Maybe I'm all messed up in you
Maybe I'm all messed up
This is the only time I really feel alive
This is the only time I really feel alive

I swear
I just found everything I need
The sweat in your eyes, the blood in your veins are listening to
me
Well, I want to drink it up and swim in it until I drown
My moral standing is lying down.


10.Ring Finger

Well you've got me working so hard lately
Working my hands until they bleed
If I was twice the man I could be
I'd still be half of what you need
Still you lead me and I follow
Anything you ask, you know I'll do
But this one act of consecration is what I ask of you

Ringfinger
Promise carved in stone
Deeper than the sea
Ringfinger
Sever flesh and bone
And offer it to me

You just left me nailed here
Hanging like Jesus on the cross
I'll be dying for your sins
And aiding to the cause

Wrap my eyes in bandages
Confessions I see through
I get everything I want
When I get part of you

Ringfinger
Promise carved in stone
Deeper than the sea
Ringfinger
Devil's flesh and bone
Do something for me.
