1.Convinced Of The Hex

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

She submits and she dominates
She gets out of her head
As she talks to the ceiling
You can hear what she said

She said, 'That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
You see, that's the difference between us'

She said, 'I like your theory
But it won't pass no tests
Watching the watcher
Getting shot in his chest'

That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us

She said, 'Do you think there's some system
That controls and affects?
You see I believe in nothing
And you're convinced of the hex'

I believe in nothing
And you're convinced of the hex

That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
That's the difference between us
You see, that's the difference between us


2.The Impulse

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

If you'd just come down
From your space tower jail
I could have shown you
Those colors aren't so pale

The way it glows
The way it shines
The way it plays on
The dimensions in your mind

But it seems like nothing's gonna satisfy
Your shapeless urges
You tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin'
Oh yeah, oh yeah

You say you're unhappy
That you don't like your hair
I could have shown you
There are heavens everywhere

We go through tunnels
And we go up high
But you just got frustrated
With those electric power glides

And it seems like nothing's gonna satisfy
Your shapeless urges
You tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin'
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah


3.Silver Trembling Hands

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

She keeps feeling for the blindfold
She keeps wishing for the secret society to fall
She keeps watching for the jaguar
With the silver trembling hand

Dagger
Night fight
Tomorrow
She forgets about the fear

When she's high
When she's high
When she's high
When she's high

She puts diamonds on her forehead
They remind her how the animals
And trees and insects call
Is it wrong not to believe?
Nature makes us all compete

Daggers
Night fight
Tomorrow
She forgets about the fear

When she's high
When she's high
When she's high
When she's high

When she's high
When she's high
When she's high
When she's high

When she's high
When she's high
When she's high


4.Evil

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

I wish I could go back
Go back in time
I wish I could go back
Back in time
Go back in time

I would have warned you
Those people are evil
And it's hard to understand
I never understand

I wish I could go back
Go back in time
But no one ever really can
Go back in time
Go back in time

Oh, I would have shown you
Those people are evil
And they'll hurt you if they can
I never understand, understand
I never understand


5.The Sparrow Looks Up At The Machine

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

What, what does it mean
To dream what you dream
To believe what you've seen?

Why, why do we feel
To try to find real
Underneath a machine?

What, what does it mean
To dream what you dream
To believe what you've seen?

Why, why do we feel
To try to find real
Just to meet the machine?

Just to meet the machine
Just to meet the machine
To meet the machine
To meet the machine


6.Aquarius Sabotage


7.See The Leaves

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

Without hope
Without love
She sees herself
From below and above

An untied hand
She smears the spit
Pleasure and suffering
Her beliefs conflict

It brings a smile
She cannot pretend
To believe that life
Really has no end

See the leaves
They're dying again
See the moth
It's flying again

See the leaves
They're dying again
See the moth
It's flying again

See the grass
It's dying again
See the sun
It's trying again

It's trying again
It's trying again
It's trying again
It's trying again

See the grass
It's dying again
See the sun
It's trying again
It's trying again

See the leaves
They're dying again
See the moth
He's flying again

See the grass
It's dying again
See the sun
It's trying again

See the sun
It's trying again
See the sun
It's trying again
See the sun
It's trying again


8.If

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

People are evil, it's true
But on the other side
They can be gentle too
If they decide

But they don't always decide
We live on the impulses
Love is powerful
But not as powerful as evil

People are evil, it's true
But on the other side
They can be gentle too
If they decide, they decide


9.Gemini Syringes

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

Gemini
Gemini psalms
Gemini psalms
Gemini psalms

Gemini psalms and the syringes
Gemini psalms
Gemini psalms, they are singing
Gemini psalms


10.Your Bats

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

Saw your nightmare bat
Go by my window
Saw them two lingering
Couldn't be a rabbit

Flying like usual
Couldn't be the habit
You saw them, too
Oh, every evening

So oh, goes
Oh, into the nightmare
Sun rising black instead of gold
Now or never

Saw your nightmare bat
Go by my window


11.Powerless

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

Honey, you're just paranoid
You should do what you enjoy
No one is ever really powerless
That's what she said when she gave me a kiss
No one is ever really powerless
Nothing could, no one could really is

It only happens if you try
Fame and pleasure both get you high
No one is ever really powerless
That's what she said and I can't forget
No one is ever really powerless
Nothing could, no one could really is


12.The Ego's Last Stand

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

Oh, tender
Once you see their faces
Oh, they're just like us

Tending their wants
Standing in their places
Oh, their ego is crushed

The only way out
Is to destroy all traces
Oh, destroy yourself

There's no way back
There's complete devastation
Oh, there's no way out

There's no way out
How can you destroy your ego?
Would you believe it?

There's no way out
How can I kill your ego?
Would you still believe it?

Oh, the red one's come
Don't shadow changes
Oh, the sparrow looks up

Red spots on the sun
Is there evil in nature?
Oh, the eagles spread claws

An invisible cloud
Makes invisible changes
Oh, an ant takes the crown

A man holds a gun
There's no explanation
Oh, he shoots at the sun


13.I Can Be A Frog

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

She said I can be a frog
I can be a bat
I can be a bear
Or I can be a cat

She said I can be a lion
I can be a guillemonster
I can be a warrior Indian
I can be a helicopter

She said I can be a wolf
I can be a finch
I can be a jaguar
Or a locust on the bridge

She said I can be a monkey
I can be a tiger
I can be a tornado
Knocking down your wires

Well, it seems like she can be anything
Any kind of creature she wants to be
Oh, it seems like she can be anything

Any kind of frog
Any kind of bear
Any kind of monkey
She wants to be

One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, begin again

Free to believe
Free to be slaves now
To this silver machine

From the evil tree
(From the evil tree)

Free to be one now
(Free to be one now)
With the silver machine

Can it help us?
Yes, yes, yes, yes


15.Worm Mountain

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

When you try
You will see
When you fail
You will be

Up on the mountain
But down in a hole
Only nature
Has control

When you run
You will hear
Through the mist
A bell rings clear

But the ring
Is just a sound
Of your star burn
Burning out, out, out

On the mountain
Way up high
There are worms
With diamond eyes

When you squeeze them
It makes a light
Through the forest
When you're blind
When you're blind


16.Scorpio Sword


17.Virgo Self-Esteem Broadcast

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

You think the forces have control
Well, there are no forces
And they have no control

Yes, it's just you and me
We fear anything that looks like the sun
And we, by our own design are helpless

This is the beginning
This is the beginning
This is the beginning
This is the beginning

This is the beginning
This is the beginning
This is the beginning
This is the beginning


18.Watching The Planets

作詞:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins

Oh, oh, oh, watching the planets
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, watching the planets align

Oh, oh, oh, what is the reason?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, I got no reason to lie

Yes, yes, yes, killing the ego
Yes, yes, yes, alright
Yes, yes, yes, killing the ego tonight

No, no, no, I got no secrets
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, I got no secrets to hide

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

See, the sun's gonna rise
See, the sun's gonna rise
And take your fears away
Like the soft tit of the motherbrai
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai

Oh, oh, oh, finding the answer
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Finding that there ain't no answer to find

Oh, oh, oh, watching the planets
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, watching the planets align

Oh, oh, oh, building a fire
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, burning the Bible tonight

Oh, oh, oh, watching the eagle
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, watching the eagle fly

Oh, oh, oh

19.UFOs Over Baghdad

I saw them coming
Landing softly in the sand
Come to land, a loving hand

I saw them landing
Sending sparks like falling snow
Heard their trumpets, peace blown

And what I saw forever changed me
From what I was before
These are beings who came from far, far away
To change the mind of war

I saw them coming
And I saw, in their eyes
Saw new kind of love I didn't recognise
Some kind of love


20.What Does It Mean?

You and me, we've lit our fuse
I don't care if we're born to lose
Going to infinity

Out all night, sun's too bright
Though i'm blind, it'll be all right
Going to infinity

What does it mean?
Infinity

You and me, we've lit our fuse
I don't care if we're born to lose
Going to infinity

Out all night, the sun's too bright
Though I'm blind, it'll be all right
Going to infinity

What does it mean?
Infinity

You and me know it ends too soon
But I know we've got a death wish too
Going to infinity

Out all night, we're burning away
I'm left tired and I sleep for days
Going to infinity

What does it mean?
Infinity

You and me know it ends too soon
But I know we've got a death wish too
Going to infinity

Out all night, we're burning away
I'm left tired and I sleep for days
We're going to infinity

What does it mean?
Infinity


21.Just About Love

There is something just above love
And that's what she hears, and that's where she is

I don't know how people
Arrive at themselves

Sometimes you can hear them trying
They're trying for something a little bit harder

It's high and they're already high
It's high, it's higher than they are

It's high, and they're already high
It's high, and it's higher than they are

But they're going for something that's just above love
And that's where she is, and that's where she lives

There is something just above love
And that's what she hears, and that's what she hears
And that's where she lives, and that's where she is
And that's where she is


22.Anything You Say Now, I Believe You


I used to wonder, oh
What was life?
I used to wonder, oh
What was truth?

I just asked a perfect kind of question
Know I know the way the sky gets blue

Anything you say now I believe
Anything you say now I believe

I used to wonder, oh
How long is the sun
And why we are crushed to death by the moon
Now you showed me how the space is full of them
And there isn't anything I can do

Anything you say now I believe
Anything you say now
