Life In The City
05:22
|
|||
Livin’ day to day
People find a way
To smile and look to the future
They've got more to say
And got no time to play
So they think, but it's just an illusion
Life in the city
Nights in the string of lights
Life in the city
Blind in the spotlight
From an eagle’s eye
Nothin’ but time to fly
Lookin’ down it’s just a disaster
Years pass lookin back
You caught that heart attack
Each day is just goin’ faster
Life in the city
Nights in the string of lights
Life in the city
Fighting the good fight
Holdin’ our heads up high
Livin’ the good lie
Holdin’ our secrets near
Fearin’ the good fear
Heads are spinning
Lights are dimming low
No one winning
Feelin’ the thinning hope
Time stops moving
Can't stop losing now
No improving
Have to survive somehow
Life in the city
Nights in the string of lights
Life in the city
Fighting the good fight
Life in the city
Days in the ring of fire
Life in the city
Blind in the spotlight

Superstatic
Astro acrobatic
A snapshot, automatic
But you cannot hear
Silver lining
Upset but you're shining
Searching never finding
Oh it's so unclear
You're lookin’ tough - don't let up
Do all the things they cannot do
You've had enough - you're fed up
It's time to take us where you're going to
Don't drop that ball
Don't play in a game you cannot master
Best be sure when the feet hit the floor everybody go, you go faster
Just down the hall
They say there's somebody comin’ for ya
Keep your eyes locked in on the prize and forget that paranoia
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Get up!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Shake that fever
Golden like retriever
Hold and push that lever make your mind appear
Outsmart thinking
Rise above the sinking
Tide now eyes are winking and the time is near
You clean the clock - it's tickin’
You move the hands, they cradle you
Things start to work - they're clickin’
The door appears and now you step on through
Don't drop that ball
Don't play in a game you cannot master
Best be sure when the feet hit the floor everybody go, you go faster
Just down the hall
They say there's somebody comin’ for ya
Keep your mind focused and you'll find that they never ever can destroy you
Get up!
Don't let it turn into a tragedy
It's time to get yourself out in the heat - yea
You close your eyes, you see a shining light
Now long behind you are the sleepless nights you’re
Superstatic

Make You Famous
04:56
|

Move along
You cannot be sedated
Thrill be gone
But never gonna get you down
Turn around
Gyrating and you're wasted
Found a sound
That's never gonna let you down
Light in your eyes
You fantasize, your island
No demise
Is ever gonna hunt you down
Turn around
There stands a guardian angel
Treasure found
He's never gonna let you down
Talking numbers
3,2, wait! go
Seeping into the chromatic glow
Raging thunder
What do you know?
Leave it to the rest of them
You belong with the best of the best of the -
Walking blunders
See them, Stop! go
Creeping under and into the show
We'll teach them all a lesson
They tried to blame us
Gonna put you in the T.V.
Gonna make you famous
Movin’ on
Outside the burning spotlight
Everyone
Is always tryin' a take you down
Turn around
A million more are comin'
To hold you down
You only wanna move around
Mister man
Won't stop demanding answers
Peter pan
Is tryin' a get you out of town
Murder face
He's in the place you wanted
Take him down
And never let him make a sound
Never gonna let you down
Chromatic glow
Put you in the T.V.
Gonna make you famous

The One And Lonely
04:30
|
|||
Oh my love
I feel it for the first time
From above
I'm droppin’ fast I'm fallin
Oh my love
I dream it for the last time
Dream of
A home that I've been calling
Livin’ inside a place
Where the emptiness and space
Make me vanish but a trace still left behind
Swimmin’ inside a world
Where the loneliness just swirls
Around my head and I can't make it through this time
I turn it up
I burned it up!
I know you know feel like I feel and ya
Can't get enough
I've had enough!
You know I know it's true
I turn it up
I burned it up!
I know you feel like I feel and ya
Can't get enough
You called the bluff
You know I know it's you
Oh my love
I drink it for the first time
Drink up
The thing that I've been chasin’
Oh my love
I leave it for the last time
Last time
I saw you I was wasting away
Gettin’ hard to breathe
And I wish that I could leave
But the door just seems to move farther away
The faster that I run
The more I become undone
And tomorrow's not a promise - not today
I won't fall in love with another
Long as I am alive
This I swear to you my love
I swear it on my life
I won't play around with another
Till the day that I die
Once or twice I've stumbled but then
I get back in line
I'll never dance with another
Long as the sky is above
That's my promise to the one
The only lonely love

The Question
03:58
|
|||
Tell me something
Do you feel it now?
If you do, then please won’t you show me how?
Take me there
Take me where you go
‘Cause if you don’t my love then I will never know
So tell me, tell me
Do you know the answer to the question?
Do we ever really stand a chance?
Now you know the way to do it better
But we never go back
Do you know the answer to the question?
Is the rest just circumstance?
Do you know a way to do it better?
Or to let it go?
Up above
Down below
The only places that I seem to ever go
One of these days
Maybe someday soon
I’m gonna go and get my head in tune
But till then won’t you tell me, tell me
My head is overflowing
Can’t stop the rain
My garden’s surely growing
But i feel the pain
Do you know the answer to the question?
Do we ever really stand a chance?
Now you know the way to do it better
but we never go back
Now you know the question is the answer
And the rest just circumstance
Do you know a way to do it better?
Or to let it go?

If I Ever Fall Asleep
05:38
|
|||
I'm running circles in my mind
I'm getting closer all the time
And yet the faces chase me still
I'm running out of things to say
These pills won't make it go away
The hounds are nipping at my heels
If I ever fall asleep
I pray my soul stays out of reach
And if I die before I wake
That's one more soul the devil may take
I'm shoutin’ at my shadow
I'm shakin’ in my skin
The television's mocking me
But I won't let him win
I'm dancin’ without moving
I'm singin’ without sound
I'm naked and I'm hungry
And there's evil all around
Gotta keep, gotta keep running away,
Gotta keep on running away
Why are all the colors turning red?
It's getting crowded in my head
I'll keep the lights on just in case
And you, you look deliciously divine
Your features perfectly aligned
The gloom sits pretty on your face
There's mozart in the madnes
There's sickness in my skin
I'm thrilled about the sadness
And I can never win
There's nothing worth improving
There's nothing going on
There’s nothing that is soothing
And silence is a song

Lady Lovely
05:18
|
|||
Little freaky creature
Yes, I'm pleased to meet ya
The feature of my earthly desire
Burnin’ like a hot sun
Goes off like a shotgun
She has undone all of my wires
She's a magic something
Not sure what she's mumbling
But I think she may be okay
Lady lovely
Beautiful and bubbly
But she's got some bugs in her brain
She's from another planet I know
But she just couldn't stand it at home
Now she's here driving me insane
She undid my brain
Lady lovely
Warm and fuzzy
Yes, she's certainly one of a kind
Lady lovely
She does not love me
And it's startin’ to get to my mind
Head just won't stop twistin'
Just too much existin'
I think I've gotta throw it away
No, there's no detecting
What she is projecting
Behind me when I'm looking away
Way back when she thrilled me
Now she's out to kill me
She'd love to see my body decay
Best beware this creature
Yes, she will defeat ya'
She'll take away the human race
She's from another planet I know
(she’s from another world)
But she just couldn't stand it alone
(an interstellar girl)
Now she's here tryin’ to take us away
Our dyin day
She's from a different planet I know
(she’s from some other place)
But I guess she wanted one more
(a girl from outer space)
Now it's all for her to enjoy
The world is her toy
Lady lovely
Warm and fuzzy
Yes, she's certainly one of a kind
So deceiving'
Don't believe in
Little creatures you create in your mind
She’s from a distant planet you see
(she’s from beyond the stars)
But it’s a bad, bad place to be
(she’s travelled very far)
Now she’s here and she’s here to stay
She blew us away

If i could rule the world I'd start it up again
If i could rule the world I'd make you all my friends
If i could rule the world I'd take it day by day
If i could rule the world I'd make it all okay
Doin’ all the things that I gotta do
Doin’ all the things that you want me to
Sayin’ all the things that I gotta say
Layin’ that love where it needs to lay
Shakin’ all the hands that I gotta shake
Doin’ my job like everyday
Layin’ all the eggs that I gotta lay
Takin’ all the heat that I need to take
Got a little peace of mind right here
Got a big love for the heart so near
I got a bit of love for the strange so close
I got a lotta feelin' for the people (coast to coast)
Layin’ all the eggs that I gotta lay
Doin’ my job like every day
Shakin’ all the hands that I need to shake
Takin’ all the heat that I need to take
Gotta lotta fuel for the fire right here
Gotta lotta love and desire so clear
Gonna let it take me the places I go
Gonna let it make me into the faces I know
Gotta a little fuel for the fire right here
Gotta lotta love and desire so clear
Gonna let it take me the places i go
Got a lotta feelin' for the people coast to coast

Fight The Fire
05:54

City lights and a nice cool breeze on ya
It's just how you wanna feel
Good advice but just no need for it
Never had to beg or steal
Up one click now you're sick no cure for it
This is gonna take all night
Once you're fixed you're nixed it's sure boring
So do it once and do it right
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Tell me how you feel about it
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Are you sick and tired?
Are you sick and tired are ya?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Tell me can you live without it?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Can you fight the fire?
Can you fight the fire?
The best yet but I bet you want better
Let's just see what you can do
Ready set go let go lower-case letter
Make it bigger see it through
Next phase sex crazed ex-caveman killers
Hunting ancient history
Stone faced, slow paced, long phrased land fillers
Slow unfolding mystery
