1.Feeling Oblivion
Cubscouts are screaming
Needing icecreaming and all the pleasures of June
I'm in a parked car
Flowers seem friendly and people in hall ways feel walls
Now it is night time, maybe we're cruising avoiding the
anti-cruise
Oh I don't really know where we are
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling and
feeling oblivion
Once in a while now the lie in the laughter can burn through a
hole in my ears
Like a man with glasses catching a sunbeam and burning the skin
of a kid
Hypereal fragments disturbing the stagnants of almighty fear
Well I'll just go under the water
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling and
feeling oblivion
So don't leave me here on my own
So don't leave me here on my own
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling and
feeling oblivion
2.Underdog(Save Me)
Two black lines streaming out like a guidance line
Put one foot on the road now where the cyborgs are driving
With the WD40 in their veins
The screeching little brakes complain
With the briefcase empty and the holes in my shoes
I try to stay friendly for the sugary abuse
So tell my secretary now to hold on to my calls
I believe i can hear through these walls
Oh please save me, save me from myself
I cant be the only one stuck on the shelf
You said you'd always fall for the underdog
Well I've been dreaming of jetstreams and kicking up dust
A thirty seven thousand fool of wonderlust
And with skyline number 9 ticked off in my mind
Oh can't you hear me screaming out now through the telephone
line
Oh please save me, save me from myself
I cant be the only one stuck on the shelf
You said you'd always fall for the underdog
Save me, save me, save me...
3.Emergency 72
Well all my colours bleed for you
Can't you see them running?
My hazy hills glow green for you
You could just call me, you know?
On my mobile number cause I'm always in
And I was just thinking about you on emergency
72 72 72 yeah
Well all my lust comes down to dust
Can't you see it crumbling?
My hazy hill come down to rust
But you could call me, you know?
You're pulling me out of this whirlpool
Your making me breathe again
And I was just thinking about you on emergency
72 72 72 yeah
And I just can't forget 72
And I just can't forget
72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72
72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72
72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72
72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72
Well all my colours bleed for you
Can't you see them running?
My hazy hills glow green for you
You could just call me, you know?
4.Future Boy
So Future Boy where are you from?
My time machine crashed over yonder
The syphillis is a bitch, but contracting HIV is much worse
Why are you pushing info into me
I have no need for it, I'm from the stars
I thought you'd like to know the scoop
I'm taking babies back with me, yeah
I'm taking them back home
So they can see there's a much better place
I've got a sister with an open mind
And my friends are all junkies
But they're still my friends
As long as they don't use monkeys
We enjoyed the heat of stolen days in the summer of 「93
Well the future boy said
「I've got friends but you know some times
it all depends on how tall they are against yourself」
I am the future boy (Hello, the future boy)
I am the future boy (Hello, the future boy)
I am the future boy (Hello, the future boy)
I am the future boy (Hello, the future boy)
I am the future boy (Hello, the future boy)
I am the future boy (Hello, the future boy)
I am the future boy (Hello, the future boy)
I am the future boy (Hello, the future boy)
My friends have all gone and left me
so I decided to come here and see myself as a baby
But it looks like I'm stuck here this time
Oh shit, gonna miss my friends
And no, you're still you're the future
Yes I'm still the future boy
We'll build you a time machine to get back home
Still the future boy
Still the future boy
Still the future boy
Oh, I'm still the future boy
Still the future boy
Still the future boy
Still the future boy
Well, I'm still the future boy
5.The Door
So take the fast road and get goin now
Before you leave no trace
Time in this place was closer than my friends
Remember my eyes not my face
Innocence has no sense it invents
Another man unfolds
Well I'm standing next to myself the sink
Staring into the black hole
I panic at the quiet times
Decisions at the door
I panic at the quiet times
Faith leaves me to much more
On the inside it hurts less
The outside seems so cold
I need to climb, I gotta find some tenderness
Before I get too old
The sun comes from behind, it hurts my eyes
It dries my hair so nice
I watch the boiling sea meet the open sky
But my soul still feels like it's ice
I panic at the quiet times
Decisions at the door
I panic at the quiet times
Faith leaves me to much more
I panic at the quiet times
Decisions at the door
I panic at the quiet times
Faith leaves me to much more
6.State Of Things
Blind fold me
Tie me up or tie me down
Yeah take me anywhere
Keep your ears close to the ground
Listen to me but don't die laughing
All things must end, yeah
But I can see my fate in your eyes
As I'm stitched up by my friends again
They just can't defend the state of things
Between you and me
Used to be on fire
So slip off your shackles
You don't need them where we're going
See what happens just happens
And there ain't no straight lines in the state of things
So try to cling on for dear life
And don't forget the world keeps on turning round
Despite you and me
Used to be on fire, fire
Now look now at where we're going
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know
7.By TV Light
Wine bottle why are you weary
And why are my eyes so grey
Semi circle people are pointing
And staring up to the sky
And the dogs are all gone and my muesli is mouldy
And the saints they are sinners in their songs
And the crickets they call to their rusted rainbow
I swear if you listen
You might just hear our song
TV light flickers so fiercely
Bridging the gap between my eyes
Outside the rain is tapping my window
A jet trail left hanging in the sky
And the puddles reflect the sky in the morning
And the pavements lead to another place
With one ear to the west and an ocean beside me
I swear if you listen
You might just hear our song
Electric sensation will not stay with us for long
Wine bottle why are you weary
And why are my eyes so grey
Semi circle people are pointing
And staring up to the sky
And the dogs are all gone and my muesli is mouldy
And the saints they are sinners in their songs
And the crickets they call to their rusted rainbow
I think if you listen
You might just hear their song
Eclectic sensation will not be with us for long
8.Slack
I've got a rifle on my back
Swinging past the birch trees
Well I set of a bomb way back there
I don't care about nobody but me
I, no I ain't slack
Ran back home and drunk all the wine
Well I stole a bottle for myself
With insects crawling in my hair
The trees are black and I don't care
'Cos I, no I ain't slack
Rescued a cat from a tree
Well its fur was all caked in dirt
So I killed it dead for liking me
Yeah I stole a car and drove to town
And I, no I ain't slack
9.Starship
Starship myself to an island paradise
Guided by the stars
Given the chance I would leave this place
On a rocket ship for mars
Take away your room back
And your cowboy lies
My refil bottle of sky
'Cos I'm sick and I'm twisted
Like a Sunday massacre
Stop me for I die
10.The Road
There's a road with two yellow lines
That go on for years
And the people there smile and wave
It's not like back home
In their doorways, where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my...
Times are fierce and times are fine
Yeah it goes that way
Down some highway, yeah down some lonely road
In that old fashioned way
In the garden, yeah where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my...
But the darkness
Let's some see all of the people they never knew
So float into space
Falling through puddles and places I've never been
Will my soul be angry?
When you die do you feel alright?
In the garden, yeah where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my..
There's a road with two yellow lines
That goes on for years
And the people there, oh they smile and wave
Oh it's not like back home
In their doorways, where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my...
11.Mind Over Money
Mind over money, bent over backwards
Light up my life like a very last cigarette
Time after time dear we will just lie here
Staring at ceilings, it doesn't really matter where we are
Wearing a smile like its going out of style
Look at yourself , there's nothing in there
Just put points on a grave stone
Can you see yourself sinking
Staring at ceilings, it doesn't really matter where you are
That's alright I warned myself
Keep blood on the inside and nowhere else
Up on a shelf that's where I need to be...
La da da dee
I need to get something, I can't sleep for red eye
Internal combustion can that really happen?
I take it back, yeah, whatever I did, yeah
I didn't mean it, I was only joking
What does this matter in the grand scheming sky
All that I multiply adds up to nothing
That's alright I warned myself
Keep blood on the inside and nowhere else
Up on a shelf that's where I need to be...
La da da dee
12.The Optimist
Sitting here staring out the window
Traffic always makes me feel like I'm coming home
Cold blood bleeding still at least I'm breathing
Patiently waiting, clinging on to my mobile phone
Cracked skulls with a creepy mind inside
I'm planning the greatest of escapes you know
Patiently waiting in the line
Soon I'm gonna stand up, yeah I'm gonna rear up
And there's no escape lonely planet
Oh it's too late lonely planet
Cold blood bleeding still at least I'm breathing
Patiently waiting, soon I'm gonna take control
Cracked skull with a creepy mind inside
I'm planning the greatest of escapes
Patiently waiting in the line
Soon I'm gonna stand up, yeah I'm gonna rear up
And there's no escape, lonely planet
Oh it's too late, lonely planet
