"I Was a Teenage Hand Model"

Cozied up to the toilet
Face stuck to the floor
I met expectations that I was tryin' to ignore
Job had such patience
I wonder, what's that like?
One hundred thousand million
But I hear that's what you like
So I was thinkin'
So these cities are sprouting
Like a spit in the eye
And this world isn't waiting
It's just passing me by
I just peak in the window
Lookin' inside
The butcher's got a fork in your face
I'm standing alive
And I was singin'

"The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret"

I've got a secret, I cannot say
Blame all the movement to give it away
You've got somethin, I understand
Holding it tightly, caught on command
Leap of faith, do you doubt?
Cut you in, I just cut you out

[chorus:]
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone

Look for reflections, in your face
Canine devotion, time can't erase
Out on the corner, locked in your room
I never believe them and I never assume
Still can't believe there is a lie
Promise is promise, an eye for an eye
We've got something to reveal
No one can know how we feel

[repeat chorus 2x]

I think you already know
How far I'd go not to say
You know the art isn't gone
And I'm taking my song to the grave

[repeat chorus]

"Leg Of Lamb"

You're a head case, with a smile
Can't stop to make up your mind
Education is so lame (so lame), when you bitch and you moan
You're a loose girl, I'm a guy (hey)
You're a truth freak with a lie
This situation is so strange, it's a TV show

In a hotel, on the phone
You're gonna leave me, I should've known (I should've known)
And I was thinking, it's so sad
I didn't want you to go.

Don't wanna follow the laws of man, (yes, sir)
Bloody apron, leg of lamb
It's so hard to win, when there's so much to lose

Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain't a bad thing,
This ain't reality

Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain't a bad thing
Because it is natural

Second Avenue, raising Cain
I'm a sinner, ring my bell (ring my bell)
I'll tell you what
I'd get up, if I knew why I fell

"Auto Pilot"

Saw you lying on the marble slab
The best trip that I've ever had
High up in a jet plane, pass it around
My drinks on empty, need another round

[chorus:]
I wanna fly, wanna ride with you
Is this the best that you can do?
I wanna fly, wanna ride with you
High up in a jet plane with you

Will we arrive in the middle of nowhere
Don't act like you know, I been here so many times
I never seen you before
But now that I have, I don't wanna see you no more

High up in a jet plane with you
High up in a jet plane with you

[repeat chorus]

Ah-ah, auto pilot no control
Ah-ah, ahh
Ah-ah, auto pilot no control
Ah-ah, ahh

High up in a jet plane with you
High up in a jet plane with you

[repeat chorus]

"Better Living Through Chemistry"

The blue pill opens your eyes
Is there a better way?
A new religion prescribed
To those without the faith
A hero holding a knife
And blood is not enough
Is it too late to go back?
Is it too late to go?

There's no one here (there's no one here)
And people everywhere (people everywhere)
You're on your own

Let's see if I'm hearing this right
You suggest I should take
A never-ending supply
To carry out the day
Your idols burn in the fire
The mob comes crawling up
I'm reclaiming my mind
Destroying everyone

There's no one here (there's no one here)
And people everywhere (people everywhere)
You're all alone

"Monsters In The Parasol"

The walls are closing in again, oh well
The walls are closing in again, oh well
I seen some thing I thought I never saw
Covered in hair (hair)
Paul's dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
Paul's dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
And my mind is out here on another wave
Covered in hair (hair)

She won't grow

[chorus:]
You've got a monster (distress) in your parasol (why, yes)
You've got a monster (divorce) in your parasol (of course)
You've got a monster (displeasure) in your parasol (my treasure)
You've got a monster (your pain) in your parasol (drives me insane)
Paul's sister is an alien, oh well

Paul's sister is an alien, oh well
I seen some things I thought I never saw
Covered in hair (hair)

She won't grow

You've got a monster (distress) in your parasol
You've got a monster (divorce) in your parasol (of course)
You've got a monster (displeasure) in your parasol (my treasure)
You've got a hole (your pain) in you I never saw (drives me insane)
In your parasol, in your parasol (insane)

"Quick and to the Pointless"

[All * are lyrics sung in Dutch]

[Spoken:]
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

A little girl walking down the street
Godverdomme*, you gotta be with me
Well I know, you know
Everybody everyone let's go

Oh, baby, baby, you're so sweet
Ah, ah, wooo

Het leven is hard, de mensen worden bang**
I'm so old, you're so young
I know, you know
Everybody everyone let's go

Oh, baby, baby, you're so sweet
Goddamn, ah, ah, whoa

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ik denk van ja, maar nee***
Little girl, listen what I say
You know, I know
Everybody everyone let's go

Oh, baby, baby, you're so sweet
Whoooo
Ah, baby, baby, you're so sweet
Goddamn, ah, ah, whoa!

[* Goddamn]
[** Life is hard, people are getting scared]
[*** I'm thinking "yes", but no]

"In The Fade"

Cracks in the ceiling, crooked pictures in the heart
Countin and breathin, I'm leaving here tomorrow
They don't know, I'd never do you any good
Laughin is easy, I would if I could

[chorus:]
Ain't gonna worry
Just live till you die, wanna drown
With nowhere to fall into the arms of someone
There's nothing to save I know
You live till you die

[chorus:]
Live till you die, I know

Loosing a feelin', that I couldn't give away
Countin and breathin, disappearin in the fade
They don't know, I'd never do you any good
Stoppin and stayin, I would if I could

[chorus:]
Ain't gonna worry
Just live till you die, wanna drown
With nowhere to fall into the arms of someone
There's nothing to save I know
You live till you die

[repeat chorus]
