"On Evil Beach"

A drop of blood on evil beach
And soon the sharks swim to the pool
She makes a splash red face on him
In front of the entire school

Here are lives of misadventure
Feel the same as you yourself
Preacher sighs in four dimensions
Give it all, that we got left

We light a spark on evil beach
And soon the sharks swim to the pool
She makes a splash red face on him
In front of the entire school

Here in lives of misadventure
Feel the same as you yourself
The preacher sighs in four dimensions
Giving all, that he got left

"One Of Those Days"

Suddenly it all looks so familiar
Gone and wrecked it like I always do
Don't you know it?
Life is out to kill 'ya
But you still go getting on with it

Seen better times than right now
But I'm not running away
No nothing's gonna bring me down

It's just been one of those days
I'm not the only one

They can drag me to the gates of hell now
There's nothing left but I'm still hanging in
Not for me, ain't no final showdown
I'm too shattered to do anything

Seen better times than right now
But I'm not running away
'Cause nothing's going to bring me down

It's just been one of those days
I'm not the only one feeling this way
And I'm not sorry

I'm not the only one feeling this way
And I'm not sorry
Not running away

"Only In Dreams"

Only in dreams girl am I part of your world
My heart it screams or so it seems
Only in dreams

Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams

Only in dreams girl where my crime goes unheard
What does it mean to fly the scene?
Only in dreams girl

There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up

Only in dreams I'm in dopamine time
It's in my genes, it get's extreme
Only in dreams

How did I dream you?
You're the queen of steel dunes
Look what you done - my colors run
When ever you come too

There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up

Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams

There's a vampire in the limousine
Sun's going down like a symphony
She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet
I don't want to wake up

On the rooftop we can feel the drop
She bathes in the moon while the shadows watch
I should be nervous but my eyes forget
I don't want to wake up
I'm not gonna wake up
I don't want to wake up

Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Don't want to wake up
Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams
Don't want to wake up
... dreams

"Other People's Lives"

Selling exes down the river
Every Katie's got her price
And the details make you shiver
But it's hard to escape when your head is stuck in vice
Because nothing matters
In the self obsessive age
Where they dare you not to notice
But it's everywhere in shocking colour on the page

In the magazine (it's in the magazine)
Staring out at me (staring out at me)
Out of my TV
Other people's lives
Pixelated lives
Just like yours and mine

Every weekend I bear witness
To the social suicides
To the thief who stays for breakfast
To the poster child screwing everybody's wife
Yeah it's just a story
But it keeps me hanging on
For the needy soul, the glory hole confessional
I got to see what's going down

In the magazine (it's in the magazine)
Staring out at me (staring out at me)
Out of my TV
Other people's lives
Pixelated lives
Just like yours and mine

Read the headlines
Hear the sirens
I'm re-united
Out of rehab again

But it's everywhere in shocking colour on the page

In the magazine (it's in the magazine)
Staring out at me (staring out at me)
Out of my TV
Other people's lives
Pixelated lives
Just like yours and mine
In the magazine (it's in the magazine)
Staring out at me (staring out at me)
Out of my TV
Other people's lives
Pixelated lives
Just like yours and mine

"Out Of My Mind"

Light a candle
Lay flowers at the door
For those who were left behind
And the ones who've gone before
But here it comes now
Sure as silence follows rain
The taste of you upon my lips
The fingers in my brain
Ever gentle as it kills me where I lay
Who am I to resist?
Who are you to fail?

Got to get you out of my mind
But I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
Without you what's left to believe in?

And I could be so sorry
For the way it had to go
But now I feel your presence
In a way I could not know
And I wonder
Do you ever feel the same
In whispering darkness
Do you ever hear my name?

Got to get you out of my mind
But I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
Without you, what's left to believe in?

How could you dare
To become so real
When you're just a ghost in me

And I've got to get you out of my mind
But I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
Without you, what's left to believe in?

Here in the back of my mind

Deep in the back of my mind

"Palomino"

She lays on the wall
Watching the strangers drift away
Mid-day's ore--thick
With the sun of Arabia

She surrenders her voices
They gather, on the wind
Talkin, chanting, breathing
Into her body...yesterday

Awakened beside
The scent of burnt sugar--on the skin
Painting eyes--thick
With the color she brings in
Oh, and sure and strong
When the lightning tumbles down
Don't you frown
Everything will be
In time for this evening

If there's secrets
She has to be pardoned to
Every one of them
If there's heaven
She gets to the heart

And you'll know...
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Then I will run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me rain instead
Now let me run... (let me run)

[synthwash / piano interlude]

If there's secrets
She has to be pardoned to
Every one of them
If there's heaven
She gets to the heart

And you'll know...
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Then I will run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me rain instead
Now let me run... (let me run)

Hey-hey....
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Then I will run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me rain instead
Then I will run to you

"Paper Gods"
(feat. Mr Hudson)

All the paper gods in a sky of grey
All the fools in town are ruling today, today

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin
The fools in town are ruling now
Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots
Fools leading (today)
Who needs it?

Hey girl, want it all the talking man declares
Go running to be first in line for what? Nobody cares
The next thing you must have, find peace with matching bag
It's nothing to be glad about, or sad when you forget about it
And while the race is on, the rats will run the streets
The slaver in a sweatshop, putting trainers on your feet
And walking through the rain, oblivious to pain
To shelter from the blame without a reason to complain about it
Oh, oh, oh, don't complain about it
Oh, oh, oh, don't complain about it
Oh, oh, oh, forget about it
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin
The fools in town are ruling now (All the fools in town)
Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots
Fools leading (today)
Who needs it?

She's staring out in underwear, from your computer screen
It's all on sale for dirty cash, we can wash it clean
So hang it out online, confess and you'll feel fine
And if you got the time to spare we want to know
Which name you're wearing
And when the final curtain finally comes down
We'll all be in the party room, no wiser as to how
The total human race became a basket case
It's nothing to lose face about it
It's really not our place to doubt it

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin
The fools in town are ruling now
Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots
Fools leading (today)
Who needs it?

Paper Gods falling down
Paper house, paper town
Paper Gods falling down
Paper world just falling down
Paper Gods falling down
Paper house, paper town
Paper Gods falling down
Paper world just falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down

Bow to the paper Gods in a world that is paper thin
The fools in town are ruling now
Bleeding from paper cuts, they go for the money shots
The fools leading (today)
Who needs them?

All the paper Gods in a sky of grey
All the fools in town are ruling today, today

"Perfect Day"

Just a Perfect Day
Drank Sangria in the Park
And Later, when it gets dark
We go Home

Just A Perfect Day
Feed Animals in the Zoo
And Later, a movie too
And then Home

It's Such a Perfect Day
I'm Glad I spent it with you
Such a Perfect Day
You Just keep me hanging on
You Just keep me hanging on

Just a Perfect Day
Problems all Left Alone
Weekenders on our own
Such Fun

Just a Perfect Day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
Someone new

It's Such a Perfect Day
I'm Glad I spent it with you
Such a Perfect Day
You Just keep me hanging on
You Just keep me hanging on

You're gonna reap just what you sow.

"Planet Roaring"

Look where we are
We've traveled so far
To gather here
And so mark the year
Across the fields
The lights turn on
And still they come
To hear the drum
The drum, the drum

Friends we come here calling
Can you hear the planet roaring?
Now the stars are falling
We'll be singing to the morning

This burning sky
This burning man
Will fire up the night
We'll light up the land
At liberty
The world to see
We carry on
We are the song
The song, the song

Friends we come here calling
Can you hear the planet roaring?
Now the stars are falling
We'll be singing to the morning

The things we do to be together
Things we take to feel together
Everything is coming up for you
Everybody do what you wanna do

It's the sound of celebration

The things we do to be together
Things we take to feel together
Everything is coming up for you
Everybody do what you wanna do

It's the sound of celebration

"Playing With Uranium"

In for an evening
Of light entertainment
And who would believe you
Could worry the neighbours?
Come on over to my place
Playing with uranium
If it blows up in your face
See you on the other side
Come on over to my place

Playing with uranium
Reinvent the human race
You just got the invitation

We go undiscovered
'Cause people are careless
One way or another
They'll never forget us

Come on over to my place
Playing with uranium
And if it blows up in your face
See you on the other side
Come on over to my place
Never be the same again
Reinvent the human race
You just got the invitation

Playing with uranium
Playing with uranium
Never be the same again
Because we're playing with uranium
