"End Of The World"

On the last day of the world
On the last day of history
I'm gonna live like I always wanted
I'm gonna live like I really was free
And when it finally happens
When they say it on TV
You can bet your life that I'll be the first one
Dancing in the street

You'll have your scientist expert nuclear physicist
Saying that he can't explain
Maybe it's a meteor nuclear bomb missile launch
A final plague acid rain
Then he'll tell you it's the last day of your life
And you must not leave your home
There'll be millions of people all around the world
Praying to the CNN god alone

But I'm gonna dance And I'm gonna sing
When I hear those words said
I'm gonna smash my favorite guitar
Burn every book I've ever read
Then I'm gonna gather all my friends together
We'll get drunk and we'll get high
And then we'll chain smoke cigarettes
It doesn't matter 'cos we're all gonna die

I'm gonna tear down the main city street
In a stolen police car
Record the world's trashiest song
And make myself a star
Then I'm gonna come back home and sit and think
About every word I've said
Take a photo of myself as a souvenir
'Cos by the end of the day I'll be dead

And then I'll come round to your place
With a flower and a song
I'm gonna rest my tired head in your lap
And cry about all the things I've done wrong
Then I'm gonna look at you just one last time
And smile at the life I chose
Then let one final tear past my eye
Before the world explodes

"Long Train Ride"

I pass a town without a name
Seen through the window of a train
A boy and girl stand side by side
The train arrives, she kisses him goodbye

She turns away then steps on board
He thought he'd die but now he's sure
But as he thinks of one last thing to say
The train just rolls away

I pass a station with no sign
An old man gets on the train just in time
He used to love this town despite the rain
But since his wife died it's not been the same

He curses himself, he was weak
At his wife's grave he could not speak
But as he thinks that maybe he should stay
The train just rolls away

The driver likes his coffee strong and hot
The train he drives is everything he's not
He watches the sad people board the train
Then laughs as he pulls out and rolls away

Hits a hundred, no holding back
Then his dear train comes off the track
The news report said instant death, no pain
But who's really to say?
But who's really to say?
The train just rolled away
The train just rolls away

"Cigarettes Will Kill You"

You throw me in a pan
You cook me in a can
You stretch me with your hands

You love to watch me bake
You serve me up with cake
And that's your big mistake

Your guest comes in dressed smart
You offer a la carte
You didn't have the heart

And I want a TV embrace
And I, I'm getting off your boiling plate
They swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream
And then be gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong

You left me burned and seared
You left me ripped and teared
And older than my years

I should have know at first
That you would leave me hurt
You had to try dessert

No way to let off steam
Don't bother milk or cream
No way to let off steam

And I want a TV embrace
And I, I'm getting off this boiling plate
They swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream
And then be gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong

It must feel good to stand above me
While I make you so proud of me
It must feel good that I'm now gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong

"Nothing Much Happens"

It's sad and spent
Feel the motion again
Stop and pause
Then move some more

Still surprise you when it shatters
But nothing matters
Still surprise you when it shatters
Don't you know that nothing happens
But a lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens

Choose a town
Find a girl to follow around
Stay on track
And just sit back

Still surprise you when it shatters
But nothing matters
Still surprise you when it shattered
Don't you know that nothing happens
But a lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
But a lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens
A lot goes on
A lot goes on
But nothing happens

"I Am A Sunflower"

Today a boy outgrew his town
They say his sadness was his sign
It used to happen every day or so they say
He's gonna take it all this time

And everybody feels it
And everybody knows
There are those that have the flame
And then there's those that just want to get close

Today a boy became a man
'Cause he prepared himself to fail
He escaped one night
Just trying to save his life
I am the hero of this tale

And everybody has seen it
And everybody knows
There are those that have the flame
And then there's those that just want to get close

Please take off your clothes
Give me your hand
Please sleep in my bed
Please understand
I'm gonna lay down the law

'Cause everybody feels it
And everybody knows
There are those that have the flame
And then there's those that just want to get close

Closer to God
Closer for sure
Close your eyes
And watch me become more
Become more
Become more
Watch me become more

"Tornados"

I'm feeling tornados
Blood drips off the town now
Blood drips off the town now

I'm watching the wind change
Blood drips off the town now
Blood drips off the town now

My mouth is dry
I've had better luck
My eyes are blind
But soon I'll straighten up
Soon I'll straighten up

I left for a while
Blood drips on the floor now
Blood drips on the floor now

I'm looking for ghosts here
Blood drips on the floor now
Blood drips on the floor now

My mouth is dry
My joints are stuck
My eyes are blind
But soon I'll straighten up
Soon I'll straighten up
But soon I'll straighten up

My mouth is dry
I've had better luck
My eyes are blind
But soon I'll straighten up
Soon I'll straighten up

And I feel it ending
Blood drains from my face now
Blood drains from my face now
And you keep my heart pure
You keep my heart pure
You keep my heart pure

"The Finger And The Moon"

I walk the streets with some friends of mine
Just like every time
Sit here letting time line my face
Fill this empty space
I was tired
I was unsatisfied
I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong

I asked you if I could come inside
When I need to hide
Wait for your love to swallow me
Please don't try to follow me
I was tired
I was uninspired
I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong

I walk the streets with some friends of mine
Just like every time
Sit here letting time line my face
Fill this empty space
I was tired
I was unsatisfied
I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong

No time like the present this
Emptiness kiss and a physical sickness
I'm falling in fear again
I know I'll never be here again
No time like the present this
Emptiness kiss and a physical sickness
I'm falling in fear again
I know I'll never be here again
I know I'll never be here again
I know I'll never be here again
I know I'll never be here again
I know I'll never be here again
I know I'll never be here again

"Birthday Song"

Hey there I said it
I'm in love
With you

There's an ocean between us
Just like me
Deep and Blue

And I, at times have had nothing
But tonight I want nothing but you
You're the only thing I want
The only thing I want
The only thing on my mind
All the time

Staying up 'til dawn won't take its toll
'Til we get old
And drinking is just the way
We keep away the cold
And you, you know what it means
To be true and searching like me

You're the only thing I need
The only thing I need
The only thing on my mind
All the time

And you gave me a reason
To give you my soul
I'll give you it all

You're the only one I want
The only one I need
The only one on my mind
All the time
All the time
All the time
All the time

"Nighttime"

This tender body
Just wouldn't have a clue
What it could be in for
So come on get your shoes on
I'll get you what you go through

And all the people
Around here every day
They go home in the nighttime
So come on do your make-up
And get me what I'll go through

I'm worth my weight in gold
Watching the crowds unfold
Late-start velocity
Nighttime's making a mess of me

And you hear music
Everywhere you go
Music's better in the nighttime
So come on play a record
It'll get you what you go through

I'm worth my weight in gold
Watching the crowds unfold
Late-start velocity
Nighttime's making a mess of me

I'm worth my weight in gold
Watching the crowds unfold
Late-start velocity
Nighttime's making a mess of me
Nighttime's making a mess of me
Nighttime's making a mess of me
Nighttime's making a mess
So come on get your shoes on
Nighttime's making a mess of me
Nighttime's making a mess
Nighttime's making a mess
Go on get your shoes on
Go on get your shoes on

"Sandpaperback"

I've been looking for some kick
Looking for one trick
To get through the day

I've tried watching the time pass
Watching the hourglass
Do you ever get the feeling that you just don't want to play?

I'm finding it strange such
That people don't change much
'Til they're torn apart

Keep one eye on the object
And don't change the subject
Do you ever get the feeling that this is just the start?

Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
I've been saved by
I've been saved by you

It's just another thing that I'm wanting
Time that I'm wondering
If I could bend

And I don't believe that things just repeat
Do you ever get the feeling that history must end?

Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
I've been saved by
I've been saved by you

And dearly departed
You leave a city broken-hearted
Or you were never never really there
And dearly departed
You leave a city broken-hearted
Or you were never never really there

Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
Sandpaperback inside me
I've been saved by
I've been saved by you
