Scarless Life
06:25
|
|||
Drifting away to that special place
Where you know you're never wrong or right
Spin me a tale to light up my face
And we'll be going home in leather tonight
Open your arms; yeah you're weaving your charms
When you're naked you've got nothing to hide
But when the morning comes, and there's nobody's home
Yeah you leave me alone
Yeah you leave me alone
In the land of the blind I'll be easy to find
‘Cause it's the one eyed man who's stoned to death
Out of the water now I'm breathing just fine
But I can see that you're still holding your breath
You'd better think twice, have you been naughty or nice?
It won't be safe inside your own little world
Shallow is your scarless life
Why don’t you read me your rights?
Yeah read me your rights
Don't mess me around
'Cause I'm already down
Can't take me anywhere
'Cause I'm already there
I believe in something beautiful
I believe in something beautiful
I believe in something beautiful
I believe in something beautiful

Breaking Down
04:53
|
|||
Carry me away on wings of fire
Grind all my mountains into dust
Make me aware that he’s a liar
´Cause so much depends on your trust
Yeah so much depends on your trust
Blood’s always thicker than water
Give me just a moment to adjust
Say that you’re my friend, you’re my brother
´Cause I’m only doing what I must
Yeah I’m only doing what I must
Oh, I´m breaking
Oh, I´m breaking
I´m breaking down
Yeah I´m breaking
I´m breaking
Down, down, down, down, down
You never make it go away
Send my elation into space
It´s a race to erase
Another chip thrown in the great divide
This stone weighs more than I remember
And holy men are giving in to lust
Stay my execution, I surrender
´Cause I’m slowly turning to rust
Yeah I’m slowly turning to rust
Yeah I’m slowly turning to dust

Brown Acid
05:37
|
|||
I'm on fire today
Took the high road
Everything is melting away
From the straight and narrow
It feels like a hurricane is blowing through my head
I realize I don't know where I end or where I begin
Breathe like you're automated
Freeze time you're opiated
Don't drop the brown acid
It'll drag you down
Don't drop the brown acid
It'll drag you down
My hemispheres begin to separate
Split down the middle
I feel like I'm an orange on a tray
Peel me, watch me ripple
Breathe like you're automated
Freeze time you're opiated
Don't drop the brown acid
It'll drag you down
Don't drop the brown acid
It'll drag you down
All the shapes and colours of decay
Exploding like I'm in a dream
I'm on some Dali ridden holiday
Only silence when I scream
Breathe like you're automated
Freeze time you're opiated
Don't drop the brown acid
It'll drag you down
Don't drop the brown acid
It'll drag you down
I'm still an orange

Maximum Headroom
04:46
|
|||
Immigration stares and a Geddy Lee tattoo
Every step you take there's a crunching sound under your shoes
It fills you up with mediocre, imitation blues
It's getting kinda rough in here I think I'll make my move.
So she’s getting horny and feeling kinda sly
It's set on autopilot so let's just dim the lights
Anyone can taste it in the air if they try
A special kind of trauma with visitation rights
I need
Maximum
Maximum
Maximum headroom with room enough to groove
They say that patience is the province of the wise
So hold your fire until you see the whites of their eyes
She’s gonna try and fool you, it comes as no surprise
She'll promise you that voodoo then you're fighting for your life
I need
Maximum
Maximum
Maximum headroom with room enough to groove
I need room enough to groove
I need room enough for two
I need room for me and you
I need room enough to groove
I need
Maximum
Maximum
Maximum headroom with room enough to groove

Jubilation
04:40
|
|||
It’s all about not running away
Once you've figured out, just going day to day
You think you're gonna give and then you take away
You gotta make it plain
You gotta let it rain….yeah
It’s all about the rights we gave
What you think about in those quiet moments of the day
When you filter out all the things that the people say
You gotta make it plain
You gotta let it rain….yeah yeah yeah
Jubilation is downtown
An education in every thought and every sound
Jubilation, Jubilation
Jubilation is over-rated, I hear
It’s all about making me pay
You've gotta shout it out when you’ve got the right of way
If you wanna live, you gotta break away
You gotta make it plain
You gotta let it rain….yeah yeah yeah
Jubilation downtown
An education in every thought and every sound
Jubilation, Jubilation
Jubilation is over-rated, I hear

New Orleans Is Sinking
04:19
|
|||
Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smokey blue-green
I can't forsake a dixie dead-shake
So we danced the sidewalk clean
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim
Colonel Tom, What's wrong? What's going on?
You can't tie yourself up for a deal
He said, "Hey north you're south shut your big mouth,
You gotta do what you feel is real"
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
My baby, she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years
Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me
I had my hands in the river
My feet back up on the banks
Looked up to the lord above
And said, "Hey man thanks"
Sometimes I feel so good, I gotta scream
She said Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean
She said, she said, I swear to god she said...
My memory is muddy what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim

Yeti Nation
04:40
|
|||
I see the end off in the distance
Full speed ahead it don't make no difference
Everybody's dead, burned in an instant
But inside my head I'm heat resistant...yeah
The seas are dead, with noise pollution
The skies are red with retribution
Right to the edge of hibernation
Freeze in our beds in the Yeti Nation
Get ready to ride the wave
Hold steady it's a factor eight
Are you ready to activate the Yeti?
Get ready to meet the rise
Are you ready to equalize?
Get ready to feast your eyes
On the Yeti Nation
Don't read ahead, no good’ll come of it
Or that’s what they said up in the government
Filling our heads with more confusion
Killing the spread of the evolution revolution …yeah
Follow the thread and you come back a ways
Or wait instead just to evacuate
Without a shred of determination
The grateful dead of the Yeti Nation
Get ready to ride the wave
Hold steady it's a factor eight
Are you ready to activate the Yeti?
Get ready to meet the rise
Are you ready to equalize
Get ready to feast your eyes
On the Yeti Nation

Ocean
03:44
|
|||
Every morning you wake up
Brings you closer to the end
It don’t matter so much so long
As you’ve made lots of friends
Some men build the spaceships
To rocket them to the stars
Others fade from memory
‘Cause they’ve wasted all their hours
Politicians and architects
Are reaching for the sky
And all the poets and the painters
Just felt like getting high
All of us are a rainbow
With a treasure at the end
Cryogenic replacements
They’ll find a cure for you my friend
And it’s only an ocean away
Just as deep and soft as they say
And seven times the power of the noon-day sun
And as old as we have become

Novocain
04:18
|
|||
Novocain dragged my baby away
Took the reins and shaped her getaway
Rolled me over, unglued my attitude
Taking over sure gets me in the mood
I tried my best to explain
How I drive on empty these days
See the pain it shakes her visibly
Some novocain will put her out misery
She’s gonna make it, feels just like Hollywood
Overrated and so misunderstood
I tried my best to explain
How I drive on empty these days
I'm blind to the endless decay
But I don't know why I should be here this way
Novocain, you take my breath away
It’s the same thing each and every day
Squeeze the trigger shoot me down in flames
It’s like a river flowing straight into your brain
I tried my best to explain
How I drive on empty these days
I'm blind to the endless decay
But I don't know why I should be here this way
I don’t know why I should be her slave

The Code
04:46
|
|||
Empty face
Cold and persistent
I set the pace
On the path of least resistance
I keep my moments alive
I keep my moments alive
Under threat
I shift my position
Hedging my bets
Like a Spanish inquisition
I keep my moments alive
I keep my moments alive
I remember when things went wrong
And I’m mystified
The memories of things we piece together
Are a code that we’ll never know
Take me down someplace
Evil and wicked
I’d go another round
But I think I’ve reached my limit
I keep my moment alive
I keep my moment alive
I remember when things went wrong
And I’m mystified
The memories of things we piece together
Are a code that we’ll never know
It’s a shame we’re reluctant to show
All the roads that we’ve ever known
I’m breaking the code
I’m breaking the code
I’m breaking the code
I’m breaking the code

Breathe Easy
03:57
|
|||
Everything you say to me
Is nothing but a pack of lies
I believe there's something hidden
Inside you I can see it in your eyes
The way you tilt your head and smile
In that dress-rehearsal way
When you lie to everyone you know
Makes me think what are you lying about to me today?
I'll breathe easier alone
My relief is overgrown
I have to watch myself around you
You could make vampires want the sun
I shoulda left you where I found you
With your name rolling off my tongue
Everywhere I see your face
Them beautiful lips telling beautiful lies
I can't take it anymore
I need you, even if you're in disguise
I'll breathe easier alone
My relief is overgrown
I'm released to the unknown
Yeah, I breathe easier alone

The Sailing Song
05:14
|
|||
I lost my way
Sailing the other day
Blistering in the sun
Sinking one by one
Sun burnt cracked and bleeding
Waves up to my knees
Someone started screaming
For someplace they'd rather be
Then the world started shrinking around me
And that's when I started sinking down into the sea
And I think to myself
What a wonderful feeling
What a wonderful feeling
Because I believed the sweet release would set me free
I woke hardly breathing
Sunbeams in my eyes
Weak, sick, slack and beaten
But somehow alive and dry
And I found my way
Back on that fateful day
It seems I'm the only one
To get back where I'd begun
And the world started shrinking around me
And that's when I started thinking with some clarity
And I think to my self
What a wonderful feeling
What a wonderful feeling
