In Your Head
04:32
|
|||
The words are finally aligned
The feeling that was left unkind
The rumors that were never said
Were only stuck inside your head
In your head -- no one can save you
In your head – no one can save you now
In your bed – no one can touch you
In your head – no one can touch you now
The hour glass is floating down
The best is sleeping underground
The rain is turning into rust
The mountains crumble into dust
In your head -- no one can free you
In your head – no one can keep you down
In your bed – no one can hold you
In your head – no one can hold you down
No one loves you
No one knows you
No one loves you more than me
No one sees you
No one feeds you
No one needs you more than me
In your head
In your head
In your head – no one can touch you
In your head

Setting Sun
03:57
|

Gold as the dust that settles on your brow
Cold as the wind that rustles through the bough
Gold in your eyes and the fever starts to fail
Cold in your hands as they fumble for the grail
Here it comes
Setting sun
In the barrel of a gun
It starts to show
Starts to grow
In the feathers of the crow
It's never done
Setting sun
End of days has just begun
Make it so
Make it go
Setting sun will always glow
Old as the bones that rattle in your tomb
Young as the night and the darkness starts to bloom
Old as the day in the comfort of the womb
Young as a rose with its poisonous perfume
Here it comes
Setting sun
In the barrel of a gun
It starts to show
Starts to grow
In the feathers of the crow
It's never done
Setting sun
End of days has just begun
Make it so
Make it go
Setting sun will always glow
Always glow

Ghost of Brookside Drive
04:22
|
|||
I used to be part of this
I used to live within these walls
Now I flicker in the candle-light
The living souls couldn't heed my calls
Love –
Is the only thing that’s left of me
Love –
Is the only light that shines on me
I vanish in the sunlight
I vanish like a puff of smoke
I chose to remain here
Fell asleep and never woke
Love –
Is the only thing that’s left of me
Love –
Is the only light that shines on me
Love –
Is the only thing that’s in your eyes
Love –
Is the only light that ever shines

Sheer Dumb Luck
03:34
|
|||
Looking back on a lifetime of sadness and remorse
I postulate what put me down this deviant course
Sheer dumb luck
You got me, you got me
Sheer dumb luck
You got me, you got me
I can't control my emotions no matter what I do
The sweeping hand of chance will tip the scales until I'm through
Sheer dumb luck
You got me, you got me
Sheer dumb luck
You got me, you got me
If anything good will come
We all know where that came from
Sheer dumb luck
You got me, you got me
Sheer dumb luck
You got me, you got me
Sheer dumb luck

Cheeks are puffy
Eyes swollen
Socket black and blue
In his office
After hours
He met with you
You’ll never work in this town again
You’ll never work in this town
You’ll never want to be seen again
Until you bow your head down
North Dakota
In the winter
Fields turn to ice
Snow is falling
He is calling
Just close your eyes
If you don’t get with the program now
You’ll never work in this town
You’ll never walk in the sun again
Until you bow your head down
You’ll never work in this town again
You’ll never work in this town
Nice to know you
Don’t bother coming back
Until you bow your head down

Night Will Fall
04:14
|
|||
The people of this town disappear at night
Scramble like bugs in the kitchen light
I don't want to know what they fear
Hiding in the shadows . . . the shadows coming near
Night will fall
And cover you with rust
Night will call
In the darkness we will trust
Something wicked stirring in the trees
Satan's little hookers on their knees
Insanity billows in the breeze
Lethal spores in the air . . . in the air we breathe
Night will fall
And polish you with dust
Night will call
In the darkness we will trust
I can hear scratching in the wall
Waiting for the somber dark to fall
Waiting for the solemn lullabies
Waiting for the darkness . . . the darkness always lies
Night will fall
And cover you with rust
Night will call
In the darkness we will trust
Night will fall
Darkness we will trust
Night will call
In the darkness we will touch

Isn't It Time?
04:52
|
|||
No way to satisfy
I feel my fingers twitch
It starts to multiply
Can't seem to kill the itch
You know it's not the only road
Get it off
Get it out of my code
You take the sun
I take the night
You take the peace
I take the fight
You take the dark
I take the light
Isn't it time we got this right?
No way to analyze
What makes the feelings grow
It starts to demonize
Drowning in the undertow
You know it's not the only way
Get it off
Get it off of my tray
You take the sun
I take the night
You take the peace
I take the fight
You take the dark
I take the light
Isn't it time we got this right?
Isn't it time we got this right?
Isn't it time?
Isn't it time we got this right?
Isn't it time?

Afraid Of The Dark
04:02
|
|||
Clouds obscure the sun
There are whitecaps on the water
As we move in single file
At the service for his daughter
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
Of the dark
No one is immune
Come Hell or high water
I can’t hold back my sorrow
But I can hold my daughter
She’s not afraid
She’s not afraid
She’s not afraid
She’s not afraid
She’s not afraid
She’s not afraid
Of the dark

Total Isolation
03:21
|
|||
Clouds are forming in my mind
I'm nowhere near the great divine
Raining thoughts of lemon drops
Once it starts it never stops
Total Isolation
Total Isolation
Total Isolation
Total Isolation
Can you find me in my shell?
Floating down like a diving bell
Disappearing far below
You won’t miss me when I go
Total Isolation
Total Isolation
Total Isolation
Total Isolation
Total Isolation
Total Isolation
Total Isolation
Total Isolation

Guard Rail
04:08
|
|||
Snowflakes are falling on Alistair
Cover his body like dreams
Icicle halo upon his head
Death isn't quite what it seems
He left the Sebastians at three o'clock
Refused invitations to stay
The wine in his bloodstream, the wine in his head
The steering wheel started to sway
He broke through the guard rail at four o'clock
Abigail waited at home
He rolled seven times and came to a rest
She parted her hair with a comb
Snowflakes are falling like parachutes
Landing on Alistair's grave
Abigail looks at her wrist-watch and sighs
Her husband is seldom so late
Snowflakes are falling in somersaults
Alistair dreams of his bed
Abigail sits at a table for two
The wine in his bloodstream, the wine in his head
Snowflakes are falling . . .

Nervous Time
04:38
|
|||
Hidden in the floorboard
Underneath the bed
Blood still running
Pounding in my head
Heart still pumping
I’m trying to ignore
Now the heat is coming
Rapping at my door
Can’t you see?
Yes, I’m quite all right
Can’t you tell?
Would you like a light?
Nervous time
I could make some tea
Nervous time
There’s nothing wrong with me
Say what you will
Any man could learn to kill
Say what you like
Any man could learn to strike
Wicked eye staring
Deep into my soul
Wait until he’s sleeping
Before I take control
Heart still pumping
Ticking in my head
Burning in my ears
The shouting of the dead
Can’t you tell?
I like to stay up late
Can’t you see?
I don’t believe in fate
Nervous time
Won’t you take a seat?
Nervous time
There’s nothing wrong with me
Say what you will
Any man could learn to kill
Say what you like
Any man could learn to strike
Deep in the night
Like a moth is drawn to light
His evil eye
Had to shut, it had to die

Completely Fucked Up
05:09
|
|||
I've been talking to the wall
Because it always listens
Haven't seen the sunshine
Or the moonlight glisten
The nurse is coming
With the great syringe
They hold me down
She puts the needle in
*****
Here I go again
Thoughts racing far and wide
As if an atom bomb
Has detonated inside
Here I go again
I'm burning out like wax
Non-stop acceleration
Every dial at the max
*****
Everything is flawless
All my needs are met
Haven't seen a human
Since I smashed the TV set
*****
Here I go again
Haven't slept in 7 days
Cover me with kerosene
Tonight I'm going up in flames
Here I go again
Spinning like a top
It's no exaggeration
I just want this shit to stop

Fiasco Maximus
04:16
|
|||
Clouds are forming in the sky
The best laid plans gone awry
Fiasco
You got back to your little home
Where the mighty buffalo roam
In the end you end up all alone
Nothing left except your flesh and bone
Fiasco
Clouds are forming in my mind
Feels like it’s raining all the time
Fiasco maximus
Fiasco

Rabbit Hole
04:34
|
|||
I’m sick of all the conversation
It’s an overload of information
Anxiety across the nation
It’s harder to resist temptation
The panic state is getting stronger
Encouraged by the filthy fear-mongers
Who stick their paws inside your trousers
To fund a pack of rabble-rousers
Strap it on tonight
Rabbit hole in sight
Can’t tell left from right
Going down tonight
I know you want me to change my thinking
Reassure me that the ship’s not sinking
A game of chicken and you’re not blinking
The glass of kool-aid that you’re always drinking
You’ve been sleeping with a girl named Alice
Who’s well acquainted with your chalice
But there’s a better chance of snow in Hades
Then getting me to party with that lady
Strap it on tonight
Rabbit hole in sight
Can’t tell left from right
Going down tonight
