1.More
Yeah decency,
she done left our home
On her rollerskates,
so I guess she's pretty far gone
Left me with my greed,
to answer for my own
For how could a deadened sense
tell right from wrong
So thanks for nothing
I ain't feeling the magic
Kinda comic how I got tragic
Mirror mirror on the wall
What do you give someone
who has it all
More, just to be sure
I got what I wanted,
so naturally I want more
What I paid for, entertain me now
All I want is more, cos I like it
Too good to let it go,
keep it coming
Cos I want more,
cos I'm not sure
What I really wanted,
so all I want is more
Yeah modesty,
her rule now overthrown
Packed her teddybear,
so as not to go alone
Left me with my pride
to live beneath a stone
For how could an amputee
ever pick a bone
So tell me something,
isn't this a bit drastic
My smiles are turning to plastic
Mirror mirror on the wall
What's the secret for staying droll
More, just to be sure
I got what I wanted,
so naturally I want more
What I paid for, entertain me now
All I want is more, cos I like it
Too good to let it go,
keep it coming
Cos I want more,
cos I'm not sure
What I really wanted,
so all I want is more
You know it isn't particularly funny
Killjoy walks in just
when it's turning sunny
Killjoy lives like
it's all about the money
All about the money,
all about the money
All about the money,
You know it isn't particularly funny
Killjoy walks in just
when it's turning sunny
Killjoy lives like
it's all about the money
All about the money,
all about the money
All about the money,
More, just to be sure
I got what I wanted,
so naturally I want more
What I paid for, entertain me now
All I want is more, cos I like it
Too good to let it go,
keep it coming
Cos I want more,
cos I'm not sure
What I really wanted,
so all I want is more
You know it isn't particularly funny
Killjoy walks in just
when it's turning sunny
Killjoy lives like
it's all about the money
All about the money,
all about the money
All about the money,
2.The Ultimate Fling
Today is in the air
Again another incident
that just went off
No way this time
I will not take the blame
It′s pretty obvious
who need to shut up
Ashtrays filled with
the fruits of our transgression
Here and there sarcasm overflows
To stay I′ll need this sitcom
to be re-run till I get the
gist of just how it goes
What would you have me do
Give me a reason c′mon now make my day′
cos I′m out of cheeks
to turn the other way
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel.
Somehow I′ve been blindsided
by my own kindhearted notion
of just who we are
No doubt we′d have collided anyway
with the indicted and you raising alarm
First roud I′ll take my bows
into my corner take my vows
regroup and run back again
Bloodhound and off no better pedigree
than what you see
so you could not offend
Did I act like a fool cos
I didn′t know what to do
when you gave me just a little bit more
than I barganed for a little too much
in my hands when my hands are tired
It′s the ultimate fling to go
frolicking licking the muck
from the soles of the boots of your pride
everytime you lied
Gime me a reason c′mon now make my day
Spoken my pleas now someone gotta
pay ask yourself just
how lucky do you feel
Gime me a reason c′mon now make my day
Spoken my pleas now someone gotta
pay ask yourself just
how lucky do you feel
can you give me a reason movin
into grey something I can hold on
to at the end of the day
Cos I cant′t move on
till I now what′s the deal
Gime me a reason c′mon now make my day
Spoken my pleas now someone gotta
pay ask yourself just
how lucky do you feel
Gime me a reason c′mon now make my day
Spoken my pleas now someone gotta
pay ask yourself just
how lucky do you feel
3.Revolution Roulette
If this machine doesn't stop,
what will you do if it never goes out
Never goes out of season
It never stops as it turns,
there ain't no passion, yet it burns
Introducing my prison
Losing myself in this place,
soon I'm gone without a trace
Freed with that final incision
Look my heart it's a bird,
it needs to sing and to be heard
Not this clockwork precision
And the machine grows idiotic
Who's gonna be its ingenious critic
Everybody loves the perfect solution
To beat the odds against
the poorest possible substitution
What you see is never
what you're gonna get
Everybody's playing revolution roulette
Leaves you no arguments to trade,
you can try the key or you can wait
But the lock will not open
So you're left with sanity to lose,
cos the machine is a ruse
Another invention to rule them
It's like a fistful of snake eyes,
a hand grenade with bye byes
Like a million spent on nothing
It's kinda like a pick in their lock,
when you never went 'knock knock,
hello, anybody home?
I'm coming in'.
With a touch of foreboding
And the machine grows parasitic
Who's gonna critisize the good critic
Everybody loves the perfect solution
To beat the odds against
the poorest possible substitution
What you see is never
what you're gonna get
Everybody's playing revolution roulette
Everybody has the perfect solution
It's just hard to
resist the sweet seduction
There ain't no trick to
winning double what you bet
Welcome to revolution roulette
Everybody loves the perfect solution
To beat the odds against
the poorest possible substitution
What you see is never
what you're gonna get
Everybody's playing revolution roulette
4.Psychosis
Well it's a different man in your face
And so out of place
That you can see anything
there that you wish
Kiss my bliss
It's like I'm a welcoming
freakshow doormat
Held in awe while
growing fat in the head
This is where we all should see red
A big fat wet slab of red
And I see that it makes me
anti everything
And I see that it makes me
want to shed my skin, shed my skin
Revelation leading to
my psychosis and inspiration
Digest another hallucination,
psychosis by recreation
Happy till the next
deterioration, psychosis
For you it's a different
notion of music and motion
A dance of lights, a prosaic ocean
A delicate, nearly transparent
creation of somebody's soul on the screen
Has caught you in between
Of somebody's life on the stage
and somebody's life on the frontpage
And this is where we all should see red
A big fat laughing mouth of red
And I see that it makes me
anti everything
And I see that it makes me
want to shed my skin, shed my skin
Revelation leading to
my psychosis and inspiration
Digest another hallucination,
psychosis by recreation
Happy till the next
deterioration, psychosis
I think I'm gonna start my own religion
Seems to be the recipe
for a new sensation
Think it's gonna
make a trendy revolution
Quite the contribution
to the unnatural selection
I think I'm gonna start my own religion
Seems to be the recipe
for a new sensation
Think it's gonna
make a trendy revolution
Quite the contribution
to the unnatural selection
And I see that it makes me
anti everything
And I see that it makes me
want to shed my skin, shed my skin
Revelation leading to
my psychosis and inspiration
Digest another hallucination,
psychosis by recreation
Happy till the next
deterioration, psychosis
5.Fragile
You've been biting bullets
all these years, I know
There beside yourself,
choking back tears
And you aced avoiding possibility
When you made your bed
upon the bittersweet
Oh now don't you worry
There's no need to be sorry
There's still time to step lightly
Cos the love you used to feel
is still in there, inside
It may be the faded photograph,
but I know you care, don't hide
If you're scared,
I'm here beside you,
If you get lost I'm here to guide you
and I'll give you peace
when peace is fragile
Love is all the good in you
Love is peace when peace is fragile
You've been going out of way to agree
Like you've been rubbing yourself
all wrong just to be
somebody else's genie
Catering to your disasters every need
Waiting to finally be set free
I said baby don't worry
Life will carry
Just take it slowly
Cos the love you used to feel
is still in there, inside
It may be the faded photograph,
but I know you care, don't hide
If you're scared,
I'm here beside you,
If you get lost I'm here to guide you
and I'll give you peace
when peace is fragile
Love is all the good in you
Love is peace when peace is fragile
Cos the love you used to feel
is still in there, inside
It may be the faded photograph,
but I know you care, don't hide
If you're scared,
I'm here beside you,
If you get lost I'm here to guide you
and I'll give you peace
when peace is fragile
Love is all the good in you
Love is peace when peace is fragile
6.Clevermind
Looking at the road that rises up ahead
I thought I'd learned a thing or two
But this is where it's all made new
N' I gotta throw my hands up
I can't go on if I can't stop
Look the leaves are dead
The moments gone, there's no surrender
Forever now unsaid
The words that might've warmed December
Cos it's all inside your head
Like fragments of a dream you remember
So never mind, your clever mind,
never mind me
Staring at the ceiling from my bed
I thought I'd earned a chance or few
Thought I'd be paid in due
Time isn't made for waiting
Past isn't worth debating
Look the leaves are dead
The moments gone, there's no surrender
Forever now unsaid
The words that might've warmed December
Cos it's all inside your head
Like fragments of a dream you remember
So never mind, your clever mind,
never mind me
Feeling like a fool again
Just need a new direction
a new beginning , a new beginning
I can't hold back and I can't hold on
It's all about gratification
See me running, see me running
Look the leaves are dead
The moments gone, there's no surrender
Forever now unsaid
The words that might've warmed December
Cos it's all inside your head
Like fragments of a dream you remember
So never mind, your clever mind,
never mind me
7.Miss Impossible
She can see about four satellites
every minute of the hour
And find a four leaf clover
where you never saw a flower
She's habitually paradoxical,
a parallel perpendicular
Barefoot in nightgowns,
that's how she dances in the rain
Sundown to sundown,
like she was washing 'way her pain
As she is beautiful,
she's unpredictable
Damned irresistible,
is it plausible to hate her
She is my common sense,
revels on decadence
But what's the difference,
it's impossible to bait her
She can really be a handful
like the brownies that she bakes you
It can be a tad hysterical,
but never quite the breakthrough
She's some kind of an epitome,
the sea of intranquility
In flimsy nightgowns,
barefoot she dances in the rain
Sundown to sundown,
like she was washing 'way her pain
As she is beautiful,
she's unpredictable
Damned irresistible,
is it plausible to hate her
She is my common sense,
revels on decadence
But what's the difference,
it's an impossible debate
As she is beautiful,
she's unpredictable
Damned irresistible,
is it plausible to hate her
She is my common sense,
revels on decadence
But what's the difference,
it's an impossible debate
Barefoot in nightgowns,
that's how she dances in the rain
Sundown to sundown,
like she was washing 'way her pain
Barefoot in nightgowns,
that's how she dances in the rain
Sundown to sundown,
like she was washing 'way her pain
As she is beautiful,
she's unpredictable
Damned irresistible,
is it plausible to hate her
She is my common sense,
revels on decadence
But what's the difference,
it's impossible to bait her
8.Diamonds for Tears
Why in these days of manmade wonders
we still bicker over flies
When you come seeking for forgiveness,
I'll be forced to choose my side
If I deny you what you're searching,
do I do it out of fear
Am I ruling out my reason,
killing that which I hold dear
Out of my way I'm coming,
with an excuse just underway
Reality's so daunting,
and I've got no way to explain
Cos when you're sound asleep next to me,
I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name,
why do I turn away to run
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds,
sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds,
diamonds for tears
In the light of recent findings,
there's no greater taint than grace
But to relinquish all our bindings,
always finds us out of place
If I rested here a while more,
would you hold me to your heart
Will I know what it's meant for,
ill I know to play my part
Out of my way I'm coming,
another excuse before I'll stay
Reality's applauding,
I know I don't know the right way
Cos when you're sound asleep next to me,
I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name,
Yeah, I know you're the one
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds,
sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds,
diamonds for tears
Is it a lost cause,
Can we overlook this taint
Are these the dead laws
Like a doubt eating the saint
And though I fear these shackles,
like my darkness closing in
I will hold out my hands,
I will hold out my hands
Cos when you're sound asleep next to me,
I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name,
I'll know the good I've done
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds,
sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds,
Cos when you're sound asleep next to me,
I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name,
I'll know the good I've done
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds,
sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds,
diamonds for tears
9.Passion Colors Everything
This is my toothpaste moment,
oh, I'll need to flash a smile
I'll be the super-absorbent-man,
watch them flock to me in single file
And I'll need to do it with style,
I need to keep me up to date
Swallowing the sun run another mile,
it's overrated how we underrate
I dance in tune with what I fear
To do adrenaline
Completely rapt with what I hear
When passion colors everything
The songs I sing,
from way out there to deep within
The face I wear behind my grin
The mess I made to the original sin
Everything, everything, everything
I have a mind for simple things,
but things are not of mind to simplify
There's always some loophole technicality
you buy into and pay until you die
Money doesn't bring me joy,
it's more like a darling dead weight
And I seem to have lost my appetite,
it's underrated how we overrate
I dance entangled with my dear
She pulls my every string
Completely trapped yet never here
When passion colors everything
The songs I sing,
from way out there to deep within
The face I wear behind my grin
The mess I made to the original sin
Everything, everything, everything
And when I'm finally brought to my senses
Parade the rain on my parade
Before I'm back to my defenses
To watch the whole thing escalate
I dance in tune with what I fear
To do adrenaline
Completely rapt with what I hear
When passion colors everything
The songs I sing,
from way out there to deep within
The face I wear behind my grin
The mess I made to the original sin
Everything, everything, everything
10.Save Me
Gotta get a hold of myself
I see them gathering around
And they need me to do their will
It's like I'm standing again
On the same window sill
Am I happy on the pill
If I wanna be the man
Should I open my wrist again
Would that make it excellent, yeah
If I wanna be the one
Should I book me an interview
To get an audition
Save me
I'm my own worst enemy
Running headlong to the wall
cos I want my freebie
Save me
You're the only out I see
N' I need your love the most
when I least deserve it
Gotta get a shot of something
Before I'll enter the ring
Gimme just a minute, just a minute
Did I really ask for all this
Did I really cut open the goose
Just to lose what's in it
If I wanna be the man
Should I open my wrist again
To find the way in
Yeah, if I wanna be the one
I'll need to get me that interview
To get that audition
Save me
I'm my own worst enemy
Running headlong to the wall
cos I want my freebie
Save me
You're the only out I see
N' I need your love the most
when I least deserve it
Looking at myself in the mirror
Funny I should see only headlines
and ads with my name
I was told I'd see my ally
So who are these skeletons
with guns taking aim
Save me, save me...
Save me
I'm my own worst enemy
Running headlong to the wall
cos I want my freebie
Save me
You're the only out I see
N' I need your love the most
when I least deserve it
11.Where Do We Draw the Line
On your palm an endless wonder
Lines that speak the truth
without a sound
In your eyes awaits the tireless hunger
Already looks for prey to run down
So why do we keep up this charade
How do we tell apart the time
to leave from the time to wait
What does tomorrow want with me
What does it matter what I see
If it can't be my design
Tell me where do we draw the line
Tell me where do we draw the line
The dance of flames
and shadows in the street
Make poetry nobody's ever heard
The weight of loneliness
stands on your feet
The cage already there around the bird
So why don't we join the masquerade
Before it all falls apart
before our love becomes insatiate
What does tomorrow want with me
What does it matter what I see
If I can't choose my own design
Tell me where do we draw the line
What does tomorrow want with me
What does it matter what I see
If we all walk behind the blind
Tell me where do we draw the line
Tell me where do we draw the line
Where's the cooling wind
Where's the evergreen field
Where's my mother's open arms
Where's my father lionheart
S'like the sun's gone down
Sleeps in the hallowed ground now
With the autumn's browns leaves
With the one who never grieves
So why do we keep up this charade
How do we tell apart the time
to leave from the time to wait
What does tomorrow want with me
What does it matter what I see
If it can't be my design
Tell me where do we draw the line
Whatever tomorrow wants from me
At least I'm here, at least I'm free
Free to choose to see the signs
This is my line
