She
05:41
|
|||
She lives on mountainside
She needs a new place to hide
She barely knows she’s alive
Swallowing up her pride
Let us pray
Another moment, longing for something that can’t be described
Another feeling, promises broke in a blink of an eye
A place so soft, a garden of bruises, my living disease
It’s closer to stealing, better to hope for a moment’s release
She has so much love to give
A spirit so primitive
So far away
She deserves so much more than this
Free from a looming fist.
So far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
She has so much love to give
A spirit so primitive
So far away
She deserves so much more than this
Free from a looming fist.
So far away (so far away)
So far away (so far away)
So far away (so far away)
So far away (so far away)
Follow the leader, pleading for mercy with no one to hear.
A perfect believer, a daughter so gentle with so much to fear.
He’s so sorry, says that he loves her and this is the last.
It’s four in the morning, 911 service arriving at last.
She has so much love to give
A spirit so primitive
So far away
She deserves so much more than this
Free from a looming fist.
So far away (so far away)
So far away (so far away)
So far away (so far away)
So far away (so far away)

Promises
03:15
|

I’m free
From your love
I’m free
Like a dove
Hold me close
Don’t ever let me go
Hear my voice
I sure would like to know
I’m free
From your love
I’m free
Like a dove
Cold and slow
Just like a dream of snow
Sneak in close
I sure would like to know
I promise you
You know you throw your life away
I promise you
I’ll never look the other way
And everything you do
And everything you do
And everything you do
Comes back to you
Someday
I’m free
From your love
I’m free
Like a dove
I promise you
You know you throw your life away
I promise you
I’ll never look the other way
I Promise you
And everything you do
I Promise you
And everything you do
I Promise you
And everything you do comes back to you
I Promise you
Someday

Little Injustice
04:26
|
|||
A bit of innocent elation
And the moment when you’re undone
Perfect for a regular escape you may be brave
I hear their giving it out for free
I’m warning you if it looks at me
The smiles upon your faces can’t begin to make it plain
(Music here)
Tolerated enough for now
They’ll get around it again somehow
Mistaken for the obvious mistake you never make
Never enough
To keep you safe and warm and dry
It’s breaking up
No matter how hard you try
Never enough
You live for a moment then crawl up that mountain to die
All I get is wasted; yeah it’s wasted everyday.
I don’t believe in a god my son
Or justice going for everyone
But call and make arrangements anyway ahead of time.
I’ll make it good, gonna use my gun
Politics of reason have just begun
But all I get is wasted by the middle of the day
Never enough
To keep you safe and warm and dry
It’s breaking up
No matter how hard you try
Never enough
You live for a moment then crawl up that mountain to die
All I get is wasted; yeah it’s wasted everyday.

Freak
03:43
|
|||
Every day that goes by
I learn a new way to fly
At random moments in the day
It creeps up on me, then fades away
Needle growing hatred
It’s keeping’ me away
Never see you naked
What makes you so “hy-pathetic-al?” All in all?
I can’t be sorry for all the crimes
Before you came along
Pick my way through the destructive times
Now you’re heading back right where you belong
Breathing combinations
Leaping from behind
Clean approximations
What makes you so hypercritical?
Needle growing hatred
In the great divide
Never seem to make it
What makes go for the cynical? It’s typical.
You’re a freak, you can’t identify
You’re weak, you’re just a sacrifice
You’re a freak. You can’t cope with reality
Come on believe in me
You’re a freak, you can’t identify
You’re weak, you’re just a sacrifice
You’re a freak. You can’t cope with reality
Come on believe in me
Reconstruct your alibis
Thrown ‘em off to the side
Validate your stupid lies
Right before your very eyes
Younger than you seem to be
Tell your friends who won’t believe
It makes you fat. It makes you bleed.
Whatcha’ hoping to achieve?
You’re a freak, you can’t identify
You’re weak, you’re just a sacrifice
You’re a freak. You can’t cope with reality
Come on believe in me
You’re a freak, you can’t identify
You’re weak, you’re just a sacrifice
You’re a freak. You can’t cope with reality
Come on believe in me

C´Est La Guerre
05:31
|

Cicero didn’t know
About this kind of evolution
Indigo in the snow
Speaks to a higher constitution
Born apart, Bonaparte
Waterloo will get you everyday
Born apart, Bonaparte
Waterloo will get you everyway
C’est la guerre
In the 21st century
C’est la guerre
Coming all naturally
I didn’t know that control
Came with drunken destitution
Even so, an even flow
Just makes everything pollution
Born apart, Bonaparte
Waterloo will get you everyday
Born apart, Bonaparte
Waterloo will get you everyway
C’est la guerre
In the 21st century
C’est la guerre
Coming all naturally
Yeah,yeah, yeah…

Live Wire
02:53
|
|||
Hey mister, can't resist her
Talking all the time ‘bout my, little sister
Anorexic, as a dime,
Can’t you see she’s at the end of the line?
On fire
My live wire
Hitch a ride, you can’t hide.
At the end of your new telephone line
Is your mama, gonna cry?
When she sees you’re just a guy in disguise?
On fire
My live wire
Hey Brother, don't be sad
It's the best damn time that you've ever had
Neon lights and unparked cars
See through showers and those electric guitars
On fire
My live wire
Live wire
Live wire, yeah..

Heart Of The Lion
04:28
|
|||
Heavy gauge, got me reeling
Like bug on a rock in the sun.
Metal age, drying up
And leaving nothing but my songs unsung.
Separate my name, keep it coming
Cause your gonna get it back for sure.
Paper-trained, you look just like your daddy,
Like the animal I knew before.
Yeah…
Coming down, take the shackles
And squeeze ‘em so to make it sore.
Look around; can’t ya see the misery?
You make it look like war.
Separate the brain; an execution
Really brings a fellow to his knees.
Hang your head in shame.
You blame
My game
You’re a killing spree
Into the heart of the lion, Into the heart of the lion
Into the heart of the lion, Into the heart of the lion
Into the heart of the lion, Into the heart of the lion
Into the heart of the lion, Into the heart of the lion
Into the heart of it…
Spoken
You don’t really think I’d be foolish enough to get mixed up with the likes of you know do ya son? I didn’t think so.
Into the heart of it…
Into the heart of it…
Into the heart of it…
Into the heart of it…That’s just the start of it…Into the heart of it…
Into the heart of it…That’s just the start of it…Into the heart of it…
Into the heart of it…That’s just the start of it…Into the heart of it…
Into the heart of the lion, Into the heart of the lion
Into the heart of the lion, Into the heart of the lion
Into the heart of the lion, Into the heart of the lion
Into the heart of the lion, Into the heart of the lion
Into the heart of it…
Ooo it’s just the start of it
Yeah Into the heart of it…
Ooo it’s just the start of it
Hah…
Into the heart of the lion

Grind me
04:54
|
|||
I hear the engines roar
Whatcha’ breaking me for?
I can see the spirit soar
What’s all this talk of war?
I can feel the clink of machines
Whirring above my head
Discarded as dreams
Coulda’ been better off dead
Grind me, blind me, bind me away to slavery
Grind me, blind me, find me a better place to play
A faceless whispering kiss
Things of symbols and mist
Reach it, grab it and miss
Make it hard to resist
But if you wanna live like a king
Keep it to yourself
And if you’re gonna kill everything
Then you can just go to hell
Grind me, blind me, bind me away to slavery
Grind me, blind me, find me a better place to play
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Grind me
Grind me
Grind me
Grind me

Puppet Heads
03:55
|
|||
Is it a crime to go in for that monkey stuff?
When do you know if you’ve nearly had enough?
Take it in turn,
Take it and burn
Take it and break it
Against all you’ve earned
When do you know if you’ve nearly had enough?
All that make-believe is a pocket full of grieving today
Everyone you see is a prophet or a thief in pain
All that you can be is all that you dream away
How long?
I’ve had a long day
When did you learn that you never had control?
A place in the world where you kick and you scream and you toll
Breakfast of lies, bacon n’ fries,
Couldn’t you see all the dolls in his eyes?
When did you learn that you never had control?
All that make-believe is a pocket full of grieving today
Everyone you see is a prophet or a thief in pain
All that you can be is all that you dream away
How long?
I’ve had a long day
My God
I’ve had a long day
Hold me close…give some bread
Watch me grow my puppet head
My Puppet head
My Puppet head
My Puppet head
My Puppet head
My Puppet head
My Puppet head

Green Emotion
04:00
|
|||
Never thought that I’d see the day
Never thought that I would come your way
Squeezing embrace, take a hold of me now
Raking my face, I’m just breathing somehow
Green emotion
Green emotion
Green emotion
Coming along to live in here
Never thought that I would, sleep so long
Never thought that I could have been so wrong
Reeling in space, just a little behind
Taking my place, another waste of my time
Green emotion
Green emotion
Green emotion
Coming along to live in here
I Got so much to say
No time of day
So far away
No time to play
No time to stay
I Got so much to say
No time of day
So far away
No time to play
No time to stay
Green emotion
Green emotion
Green emotion
Coming along to live in here
Green emotion
‘cross the ocean
golden notion
It’s coming along…

Obscene Machine
02:51
|
|||
There ain’t nobody, can make it go away
Big big money, with nothing left to say
I remember, last September, the little place inside
With nothing left hide
I clean, I clean, I clean my machine.
Dream, Dream, Dream the obscene.
Somebody told me, that’s such a good idea
Poisonous honey-coated whispers in my ear
I’m so ugly, but my Armani, wipes away my fears
Still I gotta get out of here.
I clean, I clean, I clean my machine.
Dream, Dream, Dream the obscene.
Yeah I clean, I clean, I clean my machine.
Dream, Dream, Dream the obscene.
I clean
I clean
I clean
I clean
My machine
My machine
My machine

Run Away
04:22
|
|||
How does it feel to have so many people
Looking in, on a mission knocking on your door?
I am the reason.
Taking their spills, it’s a battle of wills.
When push comes to shove do drink some more?
I am the reason.
I run away
I run away
I run away
I run away
A better defense makes all the difference
When you’re fat and your ugly to the naked eye.
I am the reason.
Breaking your back you had a heart attack
Cutting loose from the noose, hanging out to dry.
I am the reason.
I run away
I run away
I run away
I run away
Run away (I am the reason)
Run away (I am the reason)
Run away (I am the reason)
Run away (I am the reason)
Run away yeah, yeah (I am the reason)
Run away yeah, yeah. (I am the reason)
