Happy New Year @SONG: My Lunatic Friends I know today is just another day another concession, another delay it's just another ordeal do you know how I feel maybe tomorrow, I'll be on my own calling your name with a plastic coat it's just that you're so demanding I never know where I'm standing my lunatic friends have tied me down ... I just want to tell you people that everything's my fault I just want to kick the door down and start my 24-7 day assault but my lunatic friends have tied me down ... it's just that you're so demanding I never know where I'm standing my lunatic friends have tied me down ... @SONG: Only Lies it's not like a gift I had to disguise a pleasant exchange or a carnival ride the pressure beneath you in check with a sigh it's not like I hurt you they're only lies only lies ... see how we run to somewhere else see how we run to somewhere else to someone else a seed in a vacuum a bowl full of rice it's not like I left you only lies only lies ... it's not like I left you only lies @SONG: What Would You Do what would you do without the fence around the GTO it's low down way too low it makes no sense to park there what would you do without the tube of glue and sticks of wax behind your baby's back to hold her up if she falls down what would you do if skies were blue or grey or whatever if it was up to you, what would you do what would you do without the gas piped up into your head the pilot light's gone dead and now your head is hazardous what would you do if skies were blue or grey or whatever something to prove you're coming to and if you could move or tie your shoe now and forever if it was up to you, what would you do what would you do if skies were blue or grey or whatever something to prove you're coming to and if you could move or tie your shoe now and forever if it was up to you, what would you do what would you do ... @SONG: Zero 'cause you don't have to walk back to your deep shame or your steamboat lease got a husband in Tennessee hanging out with the Ku Klux Klan he's drinking hotblood and clear champagne thinking 'bout his career-ooh he charmed the pants off the three blind mice he told a joke and it sounded nice but when you walk you don't really move 'cause you're telekinetic could this ever resemble truth assembled on a track we're all tired from waiting for you to be a hero 'cause when you walk you don't really move it all adds to zero we're all tired from waiting for you to be a hero 'cause when you walk you don't really move it all adds to zero @SONG: Check It Over the ship is sinking but it's alright to check it over, check it over, check it over now it's been a long night and now it's over or is it over, check it over now back in the cheap seats you feel a shockwave spilling your cheap drinks on your knees and up in first class through all the white teeth a gentle whisper then a scream the ship is sinking but it's alright to check it over, check it over, check it over now it's been a long night and now it's over or is it over, check it over now it's just a test tone in all the best homes they're dropping white phones on their plates but when the clock stops they want to talk shop and now the door's locked anyway the ship is sinking but it's alright @SONG: Legionnaires In Doubt underwater in submarines navigating these sleepy machines on the sky-saw or on a date saving ladies from their final fate and suddenly it's all over when the cat gets out there's one on every corner a legionnaire in doubt moving faster on rice paper trains tuning scanners with electro-brains and suddenly it's all over when the cat gets out there's one on every corner a legionnaire in doubt @SONG: Now That I Am Blind what do you see when you see what seems to be right through me why do you act so surprised to find my hands over my eyes maybe there's a reason that we are running the red lights is it because we just can't see them or have we lost our minds baby, we're so tragic I'm lost inside this static still your name has got a real nice sound to it now that I am blind now that I am blind ... @SONG: Someone After You you might be paranoid, you might be rich you might have a hidden camera in your shoe when you come around sit me down and tell me life's a bitch 'cause you know there's always someone after you it might be fire or it might be smoke either way it's such a complicated view is this the way the best line of your story always goes when you know there's always someone after you you come around that freaky sound of ropes breaking and satellites crashing on down and all the spies with radar ties are hiding outside you know who you can trust and you know who's telling lies you know that if it's false it must be true you notice that I've got a funny gleam between my eyes and you know there's always someone after you yeah you know there's always someone after you you come around that freaky sound of ropes breaking and satellites crashing on down and all the spies with radar ties are hiding outside you might be paranoid, you might be rich you might have a hidden camera in your shoe when you come around sit me down and tell me life's a bitch 'cause you know there's always someone after you yeah you know there's always someone after you @SONG: Scott Scott, if I ever see you I am gonna kill you, and then I will get sent back to jail the pope will send the bail in tens and twenties 'cause his God is funny spent all my fucking money and I still feel lost 'cause people like the same things that you do people like the same things that you do Scott, why'd you have to do it why couldn't you see through it like gauze you tore through her bolted soul you made it past the toll but I paid the cost 'cause people like the same things that you do people like the same things that you do but I don't like the same things that you do @SONG: Baby Polygon it's alright, it's OK baby Polygon's on the way look out, Jax and Bobby Blake 'cause baby Polygon's on the make on the make ... this is the last Saturday 'cause baby Polygon wants to play coming around for devil's cake rising up out of the lake out of the lake ... @SONG: 10:15 10:15 she's on the train flipping through the pages selling junk that no one needs 10:16 she looks at me looks through me at the scenery somehow it's all the same she is surrounded by so many foolish props someone made if I was more continental and less judgemental maybe I'd believe these cold steel rails hold something more lead someplace we've never been before but I'm more inclined to leave I am surrounded by so many evil thoughts someone made she is surrounded by so many foolish props someone made 10:15 she's on the train flipping through the pages selling junk that no one needs @SONG: This Time remember a golden day baby, far away that you left behind way back when your heart was black from the love you packed as it left your mind excuse me but the casualties from the love you see are a little high I know that I'm a lucky boy but I can't enjoy that I know your mind oh yeah, this time make up your mind, this time bells ring, children sing but no one brings a shred of sense get straight 'cause it's getting late and I just can't wait to get off the fence oh yeah, this time make up your mind, this time if you want to see me blow away that's an easy thing all you have to do is say the word and I'll be going remember a golden day baby, far away that you left behind way back when your heart was black from the love you packed as it left your mind oh yeah, this time make up your mind, make up your mind this time @SONG: Happy New Year happy new year, it's a cold one won't you let go of the old one it's justified, it's a brand new year get
