"Hot Love Drama"

All of these voices
On my TV
They got nothing to say
We are all are people,
Some of us free,
Some of us got it made.
What's the connection
Some of us seek?
Some of us fall in love.
But when I need it
You bring me things,
Always knew that you were

Hot love drama, it rips you apart
Cool down love, too hot from the start
Hot love drama, it rips you apart
Cool down love, too hot from the start
Too hot from the start.

When I was younger
Life was all magic,
Everything fell in place.
But I still worry,
Worry for hours,
Imagining the life we're in
When I'm asleep.
But you came and you saw
And you spoke and I conquered most fears
But not all
And you stop but I falter
I love her I don't
And you think that I'm foolish
Stop the kids stop the love
That leads to

Hot love drama, it rips you apart
Cool down love, too hot from the start
Hot love drama, it rips you apart
Cool down love, too hot from the start
Too hot from the start.
Too hot from the start.
Too hot from the start.

Hot love drama,it rips you apart
Cool down love,to hot from the start
Hot love drama,it rips you apart
Cool down love,to hot from the start
Too hot from the start.
Too hot from the start.

"Money To Burn"

Changing lanes on a Saturday
Breaker a record did you hear about the fire
It's such a tragedy lives lost mothers crying
No time to react its getting down to the wire
But when the wheels stop turning your in trouble
Head for the rubble and close your eyes

Standing on the interstate
I can see you coming from a mile away
But if you've got some money to burn
You can do the talking and I'll wait my turn
People say it's suicide
But nothing from nothing is a way of life, yeah
People say it's suicide

Watching it rain on a Saturday, Saturday
Breaker breaker did you hear about the ship
It's a tragedy lives lost falling hero
So close to the end of a successful trip
But when the world stops turning you're in trouble
Head for the rubble and close your eyes

Standing on the interstate

But if you've got some money to burn
You can do talking and I'll wait my turn

"We Care"

When we see your blue planet we feel tingly inside.
Spaceship cold from the vacuum of space traveling.
Kittens, hash, by the dozen, we feel tingly inside.
Burn and burn the reactor churns.

Our hands in our heads,
Space in the spaceship,
The arctic planet. whoa oh.

We are alone, the world is not our home,
We breathe the air, but we care,
We feel the pain, we cannot explain,
There are no words, to be heard.

When we get where we're going we feel tingly inside
Eyes that glow like a burning dwarf,

Our hands in our heads,
Spaceship in the spaceship,
The artic of the planet, whoa oh.

We are alone, the world is not our home,
We breathe the air, we care,
We feel the pain, we cannot explain,
There are no words, to be heard.
A child's face is lost in outerspace,
His eyes are red, in our heads.
We move along, we are pretty strong,
We breathe the air, but we care.

We are alone, the world is not our home,
We breathe the air, we care,
We feel the pain, we cannot explain,
There are no words to be heard.

We move along, we are pretty strong,
We breathe the air, but we care.

But We care.
But We care.

"Intro (Come On Christmas)"

And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place.
And let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you -
All of you on the good Earth.

"We Don't Care"

Step out of your skin,
Put it in a jar.
I thought they were my friends
But they were cannibals.

Where should I begin?
Tell you what I am?
I'm a normal alien.

We thought we were alone
But we had just started
We thought we left home
But we never departed
There's poison in the air
But we don't care.

Tell you what I'll do
We could fall in love
Take me home with you
I'll do what you want

Put me in a lab
Splice all of my genes
We can fall in love again

We thought we were alone
But we had just started
We thought we left home
But we never departed
There's poison in the air
But we don't care

We thought we were alone
But we had just started
We thought we left home
But we never departed
There's poison in the air
But we don't care

We don't care, don't care
We don't care, don't care
We don't care, don't care
We don't care, don't care
We don't.

"Honey Bunny"

Hello dirt.
Goodbye innocence.
Catch me a drop of dew.
Goodbye hope.
Hello elegance.
You've got a lot to prove.
Sunshine beach,
You've got sandy toes.
Race to the perfect beach
I owe you.
Thanks a lot. Thanks for everything.
You are weasel shit.

Oh my god!
What have we done?
I killed your mama.
You better run.
You better skip,
On out of here.
Build you some place
Go and disappear

Fucking weasel you lost your touch.
Skinny as hell but its not enough.
Life is a mine shaft of love,
But don't dig too deep.

"Grutu (Just Becuz)"

Oh my God, I'm being born
This is what the future holds
One step in the right direction
Mother's milk keep me from infection
See me dance in my little boots
I wasn't born to follow the rules
I never learned what a bottle was
Now I'm sucking on it just because

If you want to take a chance
I feel for you, I feel for you
But as it stands, as it stands

Life that is gone far
Its hopeless from the start
Dreams that never end
Begin to fall apart
All my joys and pains
Will never equal love
Its because, just because

Hey, hey take a look at me now
Don't you wanna know about me now
Little baby is your worst fucking nightmare
Applesauce thrown outta my highchair
You can't stop cause you're not allowed to
You can't stop cause I told you not you
You can't stop cause I just won't budge
You can't stop baby just because

If you want to take a chance
I feel for you, I feel for you
But as it stands, as it stands
Life that is gone far
Its hopeless from the start
Dreams that never end
Begin to fall apart
All my joy and pain
Will never equal love
Its because, just because
Light that fuse, Girlfriend
Its hopeless from the start
Dreams that never end
Begin to fall apart
All my joys and pains
Will never equal love
Its because, just because
Just because
Just because

"Indie Rokkers"

I like the line between your belly and your thighs
The smell of your hair
The sparkle in your eyes
The smoke in your breath
The breathing hard and heavy
The back of your neck
The shine on your Chevy
The moon was so big when I drove it to the levy, girl

I found blood and I saw stars
All in the backseat of your car
And I told you it was love
But you don't wanna know the truth
I was young and in my prime
With my heart still filled with fear
And it goes on bleedin'

The clean dreams, the sexy limousine
Jason's (?) got the energy he used to be a coke fien
The skinny brown arms coming round in your shirt
Heart is in the right place brain is in the dirt
You live life like everyone's an enemy

I found blood and I saw stars
All in the backseat of your car
And I told you it was love
But you don't wanna know the truth
I was young and in my prime
With my heart still filled with fear
And it goes on bleedin'

"Love Always Remains"

There's a place I'd like to go
Somewhere out west
It's not specific
And the pictures show it best

I know there's trees
I know there's sand
And I know there's grass
I know it's somewhere in the past

There's a girl out there who's lookin for it too
She's not sure when she'll go
Or exactly what she'll do
If I am doomed am I the first one or the last?
Am I just someone from the past?

No one has to hear
The sound of people laughing at their fears
And the ocean and sun are always there
To make you happy if you're feeling scared
Of the darkness

If I ever saw a ghost
It'd change the way I think
I wouldn't gasp for air if ever I did sink
I wouldn't struggle
I'd just let it all out fast
And then start living in the past

No one has to hear
The sound of people laughing at their fears
And the ocean and sun are always there
To make you happy if you're feeling scared
Of the darkness

If we hold the hand that rapes the hand
And everyone can feel the hand
And nothing's gonna change
It could be the time we're living in
We'll never feel so safe again
But love always remains
But love always remains
But love always remains
But love always remains
But love always remains
But love always remains

No one has to hear
The sound of people laughing at their fears
And the ocean and sun are always there
To make you happy if you're feeling scared
Of the darkness

No one has to hear
The sound of people laughing at their fears
And the ocean and sun are always there
To make you happy if you're feeling scared
Of the darkness

No one has to hear
The sound of people laughing at their fears

No one has to hear
The sound of people laughing at their fears
And the ocean and sun are always there
To make you happy if you're feeling scared
Of the darkness

No one has to hear
The sound of people laughing at their fears
And the ocean and sun are always there
To make you happy if you're feeling scared

"Destrokk"

Hi-Fi fellas and Lo-fi chicks
Hair is how we take you there
Bones is how we make it now
Now I'm after a walking disaster

We live life we live it large
In control taking charge
You are soft and we are hard
You don't desire to step to our fire

You're gonna know if you keep on asking questions!
You're gonna know real soon!
You say, "Hey, I never fall,"
As you're falling down
Your blood is all around you now
But you see nothing at all
You say "hey" you get against the wall!
yeah YOU get against the wall!

It's just the way the city smells
It's just the way the rain falls now
We be the Ritalin calm you down
We be the Ritalin calm you down

It's just the way you talk so loud.
It's just the way the bones fall down.
We be the Ritalin calm you down
We be the Ritalin calm you down, ok?!

We Love You In Glacial Ways
We Love You In Glacial Ways
We Love You In Glacial Ways
We Love You In Glacial Ways
We Love You In Glacial Ways
We Love You In Glacial Ways

Yeah, but
You're gonna know, if you keep on asking questions!
You're gonna know real soon!
You say, "Hey, I never fall,"
As you're falling down
Your blood is all around you now
But you see nothing at all
You say "hey" you get against the wall!
Yeah you get against the wall!

"The Youth"

This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together
We could flood the streets with love or light or heat whatever
Lock the parents out, cut a rug, twist and shout
Wave your hands
Make it rain
For stars will rise again

The youth is starting to change
Are you starting to change?
Are you?
Together

In a couple of years
Tides have turned from booze to tears
And in spite of the weather
We could learn to make it together

The youth is starting to change
Are you starting to change?
Are you?
Together

The youth

"Kids"

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
You pick the insects off plants
No time to think of consequences

[Chorus:]
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

[Chorus x6]

"Electric Feel"

All along the western front
People line up to receive
She got the current in her hand
Just shock you like you won't believe
Saw her in the amazon
With the voltage running through her skin
Standing there with nothing on
She gonna teach me how to swim

I said ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel
I said ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel

All along the eastern shore
Put your circuits in the sea
This is what the world is for
Making electricity
You can feel it in your mind
Oh you can do it all the time
Plug it in, change the world
You are my electric girl

I said ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel
I said ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel

Do what you feel now
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now
Electric feel now

"Weekend Wars"

Evil S I yes to find a shore,
A beach that doesn't quiver anymore,
Where we can crush some plants to paint my walls,
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars
Was I? I was to lazy to bathe
Or paint or write or try to make a change.
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
And I don't have to love or think too much

Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
Tried to amplify the sound of light and love

Christ is cursed of faders and maders
Might even take a knife to split a hair
Or even scare the children off my lawn
Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs
Every mess invested was a score
We couldn't use computers anymore
It's difficult to win unless you're bored,
And you might have to plan for the weekend wars

Try to break my heart I'll drive to Arizona.
It might take 100 years to grow an arm
I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold
Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior
My predictions are the only things I have
I can amplify the sound and light and love

I'm a curse and I'm a sound,
When I open up my mouth,
There's a reason I don't win,
I don't know how to begin

"Time To Pretend"

I'm Feelin rough I'm Feelin raw I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

This is our decision to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

Forget about our mothers and our friends.
We were fated to pretend.

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms.
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world.
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home.
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.

But there is really nothing, nothing we can do.
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
We'll find some more models, Everything must run its course.

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.
We were fated to pretend.

Yeah yeah yeah

"Of Moons, Birds & Monsters"

Why'd you cut holes in the face of the moon base?
Don't you know about the temperature change
In the cold black shadow?
Are you mad at your walls
Or hoping that an unknown force can repair things for you?
Pardon all the time that you've thrown into your pale grey garden?
If the ship will never come you've got to move along

Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
The falling apart
Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder
The waves of black
If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
Or drown like a rat, rat, rat
He's a rat!

To catch a monster
We make a movie
Set the tempo
And cut and cut its brains out
It will inspire on the burning pyre
Half the distance
Half the motion
Communication
It's easy as the ocean

"Future Reflections"

And there were future reflections
On the face and the hands
On a green colored island
On a primitive man
It was the future reflected
It felt familiar but new
A street was missing a building
The kids had something to do

There was a feeling the spirit was leaving
Red like a marker
So my tribe, with my knife
Cut the heart from a lonely life

I saw patterns on floorboards
Deep in the dust was a leader
Someone was walking on floorboards
Turned them from oak to cedar
He can assess the situation
I wrapped a string around my finger
Into the forest with the young ones
I don't expect to be a winner

But as long as you feel it
I'm a believer
My heart is phosphor
Sea rolls and death tolls
Break the surface don't break my bones

Off of the trail and off of your hands and
Onto a new plan
Is the cost to stay lost
Forever in an empty skin
Pale and thin

If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell
But pieces come together for some reason just as well
Their guns couldn't see us
There's a sea outside my door
And one day I'll appreciate
The rush of blood and the washed out beat of the shore

And remember what it felt like
To be alone
Sitting in the sunlight
All alone

"The Handshake"

I just shook the handshake
I just sealed the deal
I'll try not to let them
Take everything they can steal
People always told me
Don't forget your roots
I know I can feel them underneath my leather boots

You toss all the mornings lost to the clouds and you watch it go
Your fairweather friends on a parachute binge get lost when the wind blows
The handshake's stuck on the tip of my tongue
It tastes like death but it looks like fun

I was a loner
I was just waiting by myself
When you, warped temptress
Rose to bring me happiness and wealth
Black tears, black smile, black credit cards and shoes
You can call all the people you want
But it's you who's being used

Under your black eyes, honey
Right beneath your nose
A curse on all creation
Every single thing you know
White smoke, white light, white marble on the floor
It would only take a few seconds of darkness to figure out what's in store
Little girl

You convince yourself that you want it, but you don't know
You keep trying to wash the blood from your hands, but it won't go
We're gonna keep you on the run

We got the handshake under our tongue
We got the handshake under our tongue
We got the handshake under our tongue
We got the handshake under our tongue
We got the handshake [x15]

"Pieces Of What"

When the world has turned
Paralyzed and wrong
Cold blooded claws
Never offered anything at all
Past the point of love
Shattered and untied
Waiting to pick up the pieces
That make it all alright

But pieces of what
Pieces of what
Pieces of what
Doesn't matter any more

Moonlight on my floor
Shining through the roof
They got the city surrounded
As if I needed proof
I forgot my fear
Feelings on the rise
Burying all of the pieces
Falling from the sky

But pieces of what
Pieces of what
Pieces of what
We used to call home
Pieces of what
We used to call home

When I drank your tea
And shallow water still
At the belgian gates
I waited for my meal

"4th Dimensional Transition"

I feel your racing heart
My liquid silver arms extended
These waves aren't far apart
Black gold in clawfoot tubs unchanging
I am fire, where's my form?
Whisper crimson I intrude
There's light beneath your eyes
New overtones in view
Endless form, endless time

If what they say is true
You are a shadow in the fourth dimension
To float away with you
We see the corners where nothing happens
While we drifted we were one
Ceilings lifted walls were gone
You speak the language of the breeze
All your leaves were meant for me
The love that every person wants to be

Stuck together, I don't like revealing secrets
I'll live inside your lips if you won't laugh
My heaving hands on rotten fruit at last
Fallow fingers, there's a surface I can count on
She'd fit inside my heart and take it over
Till her cape got blown into my red lungs
Either there's a purpose
Or I'm heading out at breakfast
Take a drink, take a drag
One more coffee, ugly hat
No more mirrors, woolen bag
And I am gone

"Someone's Missing"

Someone's telling the toll to me
I'm cut and I'm weeping like a rubber tree
But i don't care who's left behind
Lost revelations that I'll never find

In the long hall pipes are whispering
Blues prepared for anti-christening

Somewhere there's an honest soul
To mirror teeth where neon lures troll
And what's extinct might come alive
A purple smoke in some internal shrine

With a long sigh let the hissing in
Stones deformed by gentle kissing and
All the closed eyes start to glisten
But it feels like someone's missing
Yeah it feels like someone's missing

"I Found A Whistle"

Hey I found a whistle that hangs like a charm
And when my noose is tied I could blow it
And fall down into your arms
15 centuries of dissolution and grief
To return a yellow trickster and a thief

Yeah I found a whistle that works every time
That's when the trail escapes to nowhere
And the flood erases the crime
Such conviction
To paint all the wall with the blood
Of the young and the faithful and the good

Yeah I found a whistle as thin as a sheet
To split the dumbness of a vision
Between asleep and a sleep
Tiny axes
Repeatedly raising the flag
All ignored, real emotion's such a drag

Hey I've got a pistol that's aimed at your heart
And on dark nights when the moon is right
I could show you
The head attached with a scarf
Aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates
When it's gone, has it gone all the way?

This time
Found a whistle
That works every time
Yeah, I found a whistle
That works
Hangs like a charm
Yeah, found a whistle
That works every time
Yeah, I found a whistle
That works
Closes my mind every time
A whistle
I've got it,
I've got it,
This time
