The Doom Loop
03:22

Up up and away
The parchment is in the sky
Beetlebug backpack away
From really knowing how to fly
And the wind's whipping south
down in death's corridor
Where it's always the brick, where it's always the brick
Where it's always unsure
Oh -- what resolution?
When the ice hits the walk
you find the time to slow down
And the smoke, it pours out
of the Fifth Street Towers
We're looking for the fire
We're looking for the fire
But there's never a fire
no there's never a fire

Soul on Fire
04:12
|

I don't need those sacrifices
The ones you claim to cost so much
I have no need for your little devices
You only use them as a crutch
I just need participation
I need your soul aligned with mine
soul on fire, soul on fire
I don't need the town criers
So loud their false is ringing truth
I have no need for the hypnotizer
Pulling the wool and blinding you
I just need participation
I need your soul aligned with mine
soul on fire, soul on fire
You can waste your days away
You can be propped up as a target
In the line of fire like birds on a wire

Slow Innocence
02:50

Where’s this island
where our actions
have no consequence?
All this drifting
Ripped apart the family
Split our friends
We are slow in a sense
We are slow in a sense
All the pictures
Highlight just how good things seem to be
I saw you kiss him
Friends before and lovers now that you've rid yourself of me
We are slow in a sense
We are slow in a sense
We are slow in a sense
We are slow in a sense
I wish I had
I wish I had it to do all over again

We’re circling ‘round Clementine
The yellow flowers drizzle down
On carpet laid to hug the ground
To keep her feet from touching down
On asphalt laid by laymen
We’re circling ‘round Clementine
She’s speaking with the Dutchess there
And no one dare disturb the pair
They’re quite high up in fairest fare
But they will not be forever
It’s only a matter of time
It’s only a matter of time
It’s only a matter of time
Dear Clementine
We’re circling ‘round Clementine
In a flowing gown of purest silk
Laid gently on her skin of milk
What wonder when her beauty wilts
And no one’s left beside her

Waltz und Paranoia
04:06
|

Got your eyes on me
In the morning brushing teeth
At the afternoon tea
Out at an evening party
When I lay my head to rest
Will you have mercy on me?
...and although it may be said
we should be happy 'coz life ain't that bad
on the pulling side of the trigger
only "x"s on the ground
can you pass the other joystick baby?
We'll send lazer guided postcards saying
"greetings, welcome to our politic"
bomb it baby
bomb it baby
how can we smile but what is left if we don't?
only "x"s on the ground
can you pass the other joystick baby?
We'll send lazer guided postcards saying
"greetings, welcome to our politic"

Cool as the Color
04:08
|
|||
I went along and saw you at Riverside
Singing Amazing Grace with the evening tide
You said, "This life is a race"
and then you cried
and you wondered to me where you'll be next time
and we made our peace, and we had life
and we prayed for grace when we died
cool as the color of the sea
cool as the color of the sea
Yeah, I'm an innocent man but they got me
Up on the gallows but for the wrong sin
for the wrong sin
It only would've mattered if I was getting away
It only would've mattered if I had someplace else to be
Yeah - my home is the sea
But I'm stuck here with me
Yeah - my home is the sea
But I'm stuck here with me

Start Again
01:46

Hey you'd think I'd have something to say (doo-wah)
But I won't be saying much of anything (doo-wah)
Just between me and you
I never seem to do what I should do (doo-wah)
If I could just open up my mouth
Say the words, make you twist and shout
Clean it up, we'll start all over again
Hey, you'd think I'd oppose what you do (doo-wah)
Well you'd be right but I'm telling you (doo-wah)
Just between me and you
I never seem to do what I should do (doo-wah)
If I could just open up my mouth
Say the words, make you twist and shout
Clean it up, we'll start all over again

Hungry Bears
03:58
|
|||
Sometimes I feel we're up against the hungry bears
Sometimes I steal a glance to see if you're still there
Hungry bears, a pace away
I'm trying to stay positive
Ambulance chasers, quick getaways, I'm trying to stay
They say we're mockingbirds, mockingbirds
Mindless in how we sing along
But the trees of the field will clap their hands to these prophet songs
Hungry bears, a pace away
C'mon, let's try to stay positive
Ambulance chasers, chasing away, c'mon, let's try to stay positive
We're lost in the woods with hungry bears and mourning doves
A broken heart, a broken heart, could be the perfect place to start

If you were here with me
I’d take a longer look and
store you on a reel in my mind
If you were here with me
I’d take a longer look and
store you on a reel in my mind
I wish I could see your film
I wish I could see your film
and maybe all the people there
would watch your film with me
I’d pull out your film
and wipe off the dust
and make all the people there
watch your film with me
I wish I could see your film
I wish I could see your film
and maybe all the people there
would watch your film with me

Hooray!
03:22
|

Hooray – what a wonderful day
Make way for the king of today
It’s real, the devil had my last meal
But today he’s cut right out of the deal
Yeah today we cut him out of the deal
Hey, what more can we say?
Hey, hey, there’s nothing more to say
Hooray! What a glorious day
Hooray! What a wonderful day
Hooray – let the sun shine through
We can do what we’ve always wanted to do
Today, as the sugar goes down
It’s hard to picture life before you were around

Young Punks
03:00
|
|||
We’re standing at the door of the train
with you and your chocolate shake
The seemingly innocuous grin
has us all fooled again
All the young punks
gather round
You hope they’ll lift you but they tear us all down
The pretty young girls have it made
With all the boys hanging on to every word they say
Why the pointed hate and the rage
Why’d you go and spit in my face
Why’d you have to go and run away
With all that we earned that day
All the young punks
gather round
You hope they’ll lift you but they tear us all down
The pretty young girls have it made
With all the boys hanging on to every word they say
The pretty young girls have it made

Sleepy Memories
03:28
|
|||
If you’re in a dream, if you’re in a dream
Is it what it seems if you’re in a dream?
When you’re drifting off, when you’re drifting off
Where is it you’ll stop when you’re drifting off?
Oh, how the bee sting is inviting me
And oh, how the bee sting is injecting me with sleepy memories
If you’re in a dream, if you’re in a dream
Is it what it seems if you’re in a dream?
When you’re breaking down, when you’re breaking down
Can you come around when you’re breaking down?

Rewind Tomorrow
05:46
|

I remember a time when the sun shined
Sunshine
Far from harm
Dreaming of my love
Rewind Tomorrow
Sunshine, my love
You're so pretty, my love
Yes I love you, my love
I'm thinking of you, my love
