Hear what you want to hear But the landing gear i believe is stuck i fear that it’s crystal clear That the gondolier Is out of luck And after all this time Can’t you hear St. Stephens chime? Why can’t you just recognize The fool inside Tied up to the train track In a napsack Tantalized and hypnotized You realize You can never turn back Now it’s pitch black The end is drawing near Time to disappear See what you want to see You can disagree But the facts remain You’re not a victimless crime Can’t you hear St. Stephens cry? Why can’t you just recognize The fool inside Tied up to the train track In a napsack Tantalized and hypnotized You realize You can never turn back Now it’s pitch black The end is drawing near Time to disappear Why can’t you just recognize The fool inside The fool inside

A New Day 03:53
One day my time will come But the world will still spin This race will come to a close And another one will begin I don't want to reach the finish line I want the clock to tick I need to see the fire red of dawn Before the bucket kick New day, new day New day, new day (It’s the same as before) New day, new day (We are coming back for more) New day, new day Will you care what I sing today In a million years? Will the ships of tomorrow sail On yesterday's tears? Sun grow to a ball of flame Devour the dirt Burn every trace and clue Of an ill fated red alert New day, new day (It’s the same as before) New day, new day (The same thing as before) New day, new day (We are coming back for more) New day, new day The same The same The same I'm sick and tired of the bold and savage In your face, lean and lavish I've seen enough of the rotten cabbage I've stumbled through the body baggage New day, new day New day, new day (It’s the same as before) New day, new day (We are coming back for more) New day, new day

Of course of course It's a habit of force A galloping horse From marriage to divorce Don't make excuses For all your abuses Battles and bruises Needles and nooses If you can't possess The one you desire If you can't contain Your soul's raging fire Sooner or later Love her or hate her There's no mistaking Whose heart you are breaking You are a man With impossible dreams You go to great lengths You go to extremes You stand like a statue Locked in a pose Heart made of stone And porcelain rose You can't get a grip You can't hold the breeze Or lift off the ground With the birds and the bees Sooner or later Fix her or break her There's no mistaking Whose heart you are breaking Betrothed at far too young of an age You built yourself far too strong of a cage Now you can't seem to throttle the rage Between your legs If you can't destroy The one in control Cut through the ropes That hold back your soul Sooner or later Leave her or take her There's no mistaking Whose heart you are breaking

All is Lost 03:20
The simple truth is complicated It's hard to hold the liberated thoughts and fears my mind created Oh The truth is rarely black and white The verdict's seldom wrong or right These things keep me up all night Oh All is lost All is lost All is lost We've lost it all I want someone to astound me Face the devils that confound me Inspired endless love abounding Oh But you tell me the ship is sinking Warning lights have started blinking There's nothing left to do but drinking Oh All is lost All is lost All is lost We've lost it all Why did you say that you were leaving me And didn't think you could believe in me anymore I always thought that this was promising And now the lights that we were following have gone out Smoke is forming in the air Warning sirens start to blare No, we can't hide anywhere from this This could be our last good bye We may never see the morning light So hold me close and hold me tight Oh All is lost All is lost All is lost We've lost it all All is lost All is lost All is lost Except our love

The more I look at you The more I see it in your face You don't know what to do You're like a mouse caught in a maze The scars will fade away But only on the outside It makes you want to run away and hide Run away and fly You were just a bird Perched inside a silver cage You could spread your wings But only on the inside It makes you want to run away and hide Run away and fly Run away and hide Run away and fly Time to disappear You're never going outside It makes you want to run away and hide Run away and fly Run away and hide Run away and fly

Young Radish 04:05
You drive a pretty good car That vehicle won't get you very far The way you look at things You're going to have to deal with the punk-clique kings Cause you're a young radish You're a young malcontent You're too young to vanish You're not going to get what you want You sing a pretty good tune That melody won't leave this little room Many times you sat alone Their lunacy cut you to the bone Cause you're a young radish You're a young malcontent You're too young to banish You're not going to get what you want You are a lonely child You're going to have something you can't hide The tears come streaming down There's gonna be trouble in this town Cause you're a young radish You're a young malcontent You're too young to vanish You're not going to get what you want

When I am working and the day is getting long I think about her even though I know it's wrong She gives me orders and I'm at her beck and call When she fucks up it is me who takes the fall I get up When she goes down It makes me straight When she comes round I've got a feeling and the feeling's getting strong I'm well aware she is the queen, I am the pawn But that's okay cuz I get something in return We turn the heat up and the rug begins to burn I get up When she goes down I make it straight When she comes round It gets her high When I go low She gets wet When I start to grow I follow orders cuz I want to get along I've got a job to do, so boss please turn me on I get up When she goes down It makes me straight When she comes round comes around And around and around

Keep 03:14
I've been waiting for this moment I've been sharpening my skill I tremble with anticipation Moving in for the kill I've got to keep it together Got to keep it together I've got to keep it together All I need is you tonight All I need is to hold you tight I've been on my best behavior I've been sharpening the blade I've been awaiting your arrival Pulling down the window shade I've got to keep it together Got to keep it together I've got to keep it together All I need is you tonight All I need is to hold you tight All I need is you tonight All I need is to hold you tight Keep it together Keep it together I've got to keep it together Keep it together

Blow off from a blow hard A keep sake from the junk yard Brush back from a side car You could go deep or you could go far Lampshade on your head Monsters beneath the bed They remember everything you said In your darkest dreams And the dawn is a long time coming What do you do what do you do When the party's over Where do you go When the well runs dry Long days, longer nights You'll never win the dirty fights you wage within yourself In the privacy of your own hell Kids come in creative spurts Only laugh when it hurts Byzantine disaster flirts With your darkest dreams What do you do what do you do When the party's over Where do you go When the well runs dry You don't know You don't know How to fall How to fall down And the dawn is a long time coming What do you do what do you do When the party's over Where do you go What do you do?

I am dead, so are you Nothing left for us to do We were killed by father time For an existential crime All my life I have wondered How will I meet my fate? What should I do in the meantime? Am I happy or irate? I know how the movie ends I have seen the final page Mystery in middle chapters Curtains on the theater stage You are dead, so am I There's no reason not to cry Just a mess of flesh and bones Tweeting farewells on our phones You are dead, so am I So we might as well get high High on life while we still can From the fire to the frying pan They are dead, so are we Let's agree to disbelieve You have only grains of sand And a pass to no man's land You were once a beauty queen In a fashion magazine Had the world caught on a string 20 carat wedding ring You may long for cash in hand A million dollar concert grand When you take the witness stand You will start to understand You are dead, so am I There's no reason not to try You're just a mess of flesh and bone Tweeting farewells on your phone
