Such a firecracker, that they run when you're lit
Labeled a criminal by your attacker and the mind bending hit
They get subliminal
Wire up the lie detector, sound the alarm for me
These cats are crooked detectives, trying to make us call for free
You've got everybody else fooled, but we know who you are
You've got everybody else outraged
Outraged
Such a good faker, with a smile on his head
That ain't convincing me
The movers and the shakers want to climb into his bed
To create history
Set off the smoke detector, burn down your masterpiece
You are the only protector from this small town thief
You've got everybody else fooled, but we know who you are
You've got everybody else outraged
Outraged
You'll never get away with this
You'll never get away with this
Don't think for a minute that you're getting away with it
Holy Roller, Hellish Bandit, we've caught you red-handed
Wire up the lie detector, sound the alarm for me
These cats are crooked detectives, trying to make us call for free
Tell me who's laughing now

Party Time!

Come on, let's get it right
Get big, get black or white
Get lost, get out of sight
Get down with me
Come on and take my hand
Take out your master plan
Take care of business, man
Take one, two, three
Go, go, go, go ahead
Go on, get out of bed
Go back to work, she said
Go on, be free
Just because you've had enough
Doesn't mean you leave
It should never take that long to get you on your knees
Now you wanna sing a different song
You gotta sing it beggin', baby
Please, please, please, please, please
I see you're ramblin' now
I see you stepping out
You got your weapon out, pointing it at me
So, baby, fire away; if you miss, you'd better pray
This would be your lucky day
I'm on a winning streak
Just because you've had enough
Doesn't mean you leave
It should never take that long to get you on your knees
Now you wanna sing a different song
You gotta sing it beggin', baby
Please, please, please, please, please
Come on, let's get it right...

Like a scene in science fiction
where the creature will not die.
I'll be using perfect diction,
even though I'm terrified.
I see you smiling through me,
can you find a place to hide?
I think I might hear someone
coming out of the corner of my eye.
I've been meaning to look into your eyes.
I've seen them a half a million times.
How have I not seen them act this strange?
I've been meaning to look behind your smile.
I've seen it a half a million times.
So how'd I not noticed that you have fangs?
I just had the strangest vision:
The apartment was on fire.
You were standing in the kitchen,
and you were covered in cherry pie.
Well you know I see what's behind your back,
so you can't tell me, it was just a snack.
Aww, I think I'm gonna get sick.
I've been meaning to look into your eyes.
I've seen them a half a million times.
How have I not seen them act this strange?
I've been meaning to look behind your smile.
I've seen it a half a million times.
So how'd I not noticed that you have fangs?
Now I got a party at my door
and I'm laying on the floor,
just trying to catch my breath.
If you'd just give me a minute.
No, I don't need no other friend,
so I will not let you in
And if you don't go away,
then I'm jumping out the window.

The Primarily Blues

So now if I could just stand there underneath your weather
No mind the hole that's in my shoe
Just keep raining, make it all feel better
So chew the bone in you
Here's to your bones --
Don't know why its so dry in my head (in my head)
Hiding from you
Don't know why you're so primary red,
I'm primarily blue
It's so dark here, and heavier than ever
Just sit still and stay uncool
Damn the eye, the ever-drifting feather
Damn the mind, the useless tool
Don't know why it's so dry in my head (in my head)
Hiding from you
Don't know why you're so primary red,
I'm primarily blue
Please tell me why,
Why you're higher
Everyone is standing by
(Where are you?)
Awaiting your reply
I don't know exactly why I'm hiding
I don't know exactly why I'm hiding

Cult Of She
03:26
|

She's bored with staring at the sun
Waiting for the night to come
And those objects crowded in her sky
Will never be identified.
Wait patiently for explanations in the night.
We cannot be the only ghosts to float this high.
She's holding out for a comet now that the earth stopped breathing
And we've been giving her mouth to mouth
She came to naked on the lawn
Wondering where the time had gone
So much more vivid than a dream
But I don't recall anything
Wait patiently for explanations in the night
We can't be the only ghosts to float this high
You've got to come back down here now
The earth stopped bleeding
And we've been giving her mouth to mouth
but she wont start breathing
I thought the end of the world would be much scarier
Tell me where in the hell are we going to bury her?

Wash your heart off with hot water,
wash your mouth out with the maker's meat
Walk until you kindly wander,
just make sure you're wandering towards me
You may wake as king tomorrow,
if tonight you can just stay off the street,
where i know you feel free
This is not for your eyes to see,
so won't you please stop staring at me
I think you better find a way out of here,
'cause i don't think you'll like what i've become
I think you better find a way out of here,
'cause i don't think you'll like what i've become
No, I cannot explain how we always find shelter from the rain
When it gets cold and we get carried away,
Now we suffer from sunday-window pain
You know, we will not be friends tomorrow
if tonight we just get under the sheets, and just feel free
This is not for your eyes to see,
so won't you please stop staring at me
I think you better find a way out of here,
'cause i don't think you'll like what i've become
I think you better find a way out of here,
'cause i don't think you'll like what i've become
You know, it's getting very hard for me,
to look in the mirror with no reflection of my face
But that is not the hardest part for me,
it's just knowing i won't see the light of day

Don't Touch That Dial

A suitcase
Is a nice place
For a young man to call home
There just ain't no where to hang your hat from
The wrong taste and the right place
Will burn an image on your tongue
Man, you gotta know where I am coming from
Something's wrong with the radio
It stopped playing the songs I know
I wish I may
I wish I might
Get a little sleep tonight
Who me?
(Who me?)
Trying to feel it
(Trying to feel it)
Maybe
(maybe)
It'll come tonight
Don't sing that song
Unless you mean it
You gotta do it with a tear in your eye
Don't sing that song
Unless you mean it
Testify
Testify
It's not a truck stop
Not a road block
That's gonna make you lose your mind
Its the uncertainty of the day and time
And there's a foul smell in the hotel
I think we're gonna sleep outside
Man, you gotta know you put us in a bind
Something's wrong with the radio
It stopped playing the songs I know
I wish I may
I wish I might
Get a little sleep tonight
Who me?
(Who me?)
Trying to feel it
(Trying to feel it)
Maybe
(Maybe)
It'll come tonight
Don't sing that song
Unless you mean it
You gotta do it with a tear in your eye
Don't sing that song
Unless you mean it
Testify
Testify
Don't sing that song
Unless you mean it
You gotta do it with a tear in your eye
Don't sing that song
Unless you mean it
Testify
Testify
I'm falling apart
Breaking my fucking heart
Would someone let me know
If they play a song I know
Trying to feel it
Trying to feel it
Trying to feel it
Trying to feel it
Hey!

I've been dreaming of sailing away
I'll build a boat out of paper-mâché
No belongings of any concern
I will be gone long before you will return
How can you try to hold on to
Names unequipped with a face
Look closely behind the ones in your mind
And safely beside the one that your heart believes
You're breathing life into brown paper bags
You set one down, so I took a drag
I can feel you in my lungs
Think my heart might jump the gun
Who would you like to hold on to
And who would you like to erase
Cause I can't decide, my heart and my mind
They don't think straight, they don't think straight
We've been very obsessed with the time
Picking the the scabs that have grown from our minds
The world is a wonderful place
I wish I were there, I just can't get excited about space
[yelling]
We've been so damn obsessed with the time
Picking the the scabs that have grown from our minds
The world is a wonderful place
I wish I were there, I just can't get excited about space
Can't get excited about space
Now who would you like to hold on to
And who would you like to erase

Future's Bright Man

I can't find the heartbeat in this city
Give me the right to be amazed, yeah
No one ever justified, the fact that you can touch the sky
In this day in age, we are forced to climb inside your ribcage
I'm gonna climb inside, you're gonna take me where I need to go
One thing you will learn in time
Things are always fine
One thing you will learn tonight
Everything is always alright
No one here can read and that's a pity
You keep staring at the empty page
Every corner that you turn, you see a married couple eating worms
This place is strange, it goes on and on and it's never gonna change
One thing you will learn in time
Things are always fine
One thing you will learn tonight
Everything is always alright
Surprise, surprise time flies at the bottom of this bottle
And if you and I have to find somewhere else to live before I'm old
Cause I'm younger than I feel, younger than I feel

Our land is so terribly dry
And we see no crop
Without the raindrops
Only the weeds will survive
And keep our seeds from thriving
Will we ever see the spring?
I've got my eye on you
And these eyes have a plan
I've got my eyes on you
And they weep and you stay
Now won't you please grow for me?
I swore I'd never leave your side
But I'm exhausted
I need my rest
And even when I close my eyes
Oh these tears continue
They will find their way to you
I've got my eye on you
And these eyes have a plan
I've got my eyes on you
And they weep and you stay
Now won't you please grow for me?
I thought I'd never see the day
When the clouds would roll away
In pain and suffering
Bring the rain and bring the spade
Don't cry for me dear
I'm alive and I'm right here
I missed you so damn much then
With no garden to tend

That's Nasty
05:34
|

Try and wrap your head around it
How long have you been surrounded?
Try and be alone and not lonely
This is a familiar story so tired and so boring
You don't want to know if it don't involve me
Now you do what you want to do
Whenever you want to
(Baby that's nasty)
Now you do what you want to do
Whenever you want to
You've got to leave me be
And now you're trying to create a scandal
But you've got to find a different handle
It's not that bad, just wait and see
And boy, you're missing out on everything
Every note you sing will burn your throat like warm whiskey
And you will not grow if you don't learn how to breathe
Now you do what you want to do
whenever you want to
(Baby that's nasty)
Now you do what you want to do
whenever you want to
You've got to leave me be
And are we all alone in here?
Are we special? Are we real?
Is this what makes you feel alive?
Are we all alone in here?
Are we special or just weird?
Is this what makes you feel alive?
No I'm not feeling alive
Not feeling alive
No I'm not feeling alive
I feel just fine

Mean Shadow

Imagine the surprise, we finally let him know
He has the Devil's eyes, and that's unhealable
In between mean shadows
Sit back, relax, let your mind flow
Forget your worries, all your troubles, let the free now, let them go
In no time you'll be haunted by my words
In no time you'll be stoned like two dead birds
You know I am all you need
Bound to the top of your family tree
And I'll be there everyday
So kick and scream if you feel better, but you'll never get away
You're gonna be surprised, well I've got to let you know
You've got the Devil's eyes, now you're casting out his shadow
Sit back, relax, enjoy the show
Why you rushing? What's your hurry? You've got nowhere to go
Just focus on the sound of my voice
No you ain't buying hocus pocus, but I ain't selling you no choice
And you know I am all you need
Bound to the top of your family tree
And I'll be there everyday
So kick and scream if you feel better, but you'll never get away
Don't you turn out the light, don't plan on shutting my eyes
Don't you turn out the light, some things go bump in the night
Afraid of my shadow, afraid of my shadow
