Burning Slow
03:56
|

I knew that it was wrong
But I couldn’t help myself
If you think I don’t belong
You’ll just have to throw me out
I know I’m causing a scene, yes
I know I live in a dream but
This love won’t leave me alone
I’m going down with the undertow
I’m burning slow, Oh
Take me below
Not your Romeo, Oh
Fall the domino
I thought we moving on
And you were moving out
You think you just show up
And I’ll pull the carpet up
I know I’m under your spell, yes
I drank that bottle myself but
This love won’t leave me alone
I’m going down with the undertow
I’m burning slow, Oh
Take me below
Not your Romeo, Oh
Fall the domino
If I’m going down if I’m going down
If I’m going down if I’m going down
If I’m going down if I’m going down
If I’m going down if I’m going down
I’m burning slow, Oh
Take me below
Not your Romeo, Oh
Fall the domino
I’m burning slow, Oh
Take me below
Not your Romeo, Oh
Fall the domino

Space Unicorn

It’s strange to think we don’t make mistakes
It’s strange to think we’re flying in space
It’s strange could be wrong everything that you knew
It’s strange all I want to do
Is be with you
She said “Can I get on your horse
Ride with you, ride with you
Through the night?”
I said this ain’t a pony baby
Check out the horn
On my space unicorn

Animal
05:23
|

There was a time when my world was filled with
darkness, darkness, darkness
And I stopped dreaming now
I'm supposed to fill it up with
something, something, something
In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody
I knew before long long long ago
But I'm still trying to make my mind up
Am I free or am I tied up?
I change shapes just to hide in this place
but I'm still, I'm still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip yeah
I slip I'm still an animal
There is a hole and I tried to fill up with
money, money , money
But it gets bigger to your hopes is always
Running, running, running
In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody
who could be strong
Tell me if I'm wrong?
And now I'm pulling your disguise up
Are you free or are you tied up?
I change shapes just to hide in this place
but I'm still, I'm still an animal
Nobody knows it but me when I slip yeah
I slip I'm still an animal

Never Gonna Leave
03:39
|
|||
As I looked out at the skyline
I couldn't be sure if I was home
You see I grew up in the city
But now I’m alone
But I'm never gonna leave
It's twisted in my memories
I'm never gonna go
This city’s my home
I can see my breath blowing
In December walking by the Charles
She said “Honey I'm moving on
will you Please move out”
She told me love burns in your eyes
When it breaks your heart
No matter how you hide it
Everyone can see the scar
But I'm never gonna leave
It's twisted in my memories
I'm never gonna go
This city’s my home
This city’s my home
Now I’m sitting at the bar on a Monday night
when a girl floats in the door
She says, “Come back home
And clean up your mess”
But Baby I’m coming to sweep you off your feet
Just as soon as I’ve found
The message at the bottom of the bottle
I'll turn it all around
But I'm never gonna leave
It's twisted in my memories
I'm never gonna go
This city’s my home
This city’s my home
This city’s my home
This city’s my home

The Great Nothing
05:16
|
|||
All that happens now
Is all there will ever be
I used to think that all I was
Was all that I could see
A dancing shadow
A flickering light
A falling star that
Burns the sky
The great great nothing
The great great nothing
The great great nothing
Masquerading as something you can name
And I feel like I'm inside the cage
Always focused on the pain
In the darkness of the night
I'm tripping over paradise
I bend the arrow back
to the back of my head
Searching for a target
That The mirror reflects
A bolt of lightning
A rolling wave
Arms wide open
In the rain
The great great nothing
The great great nothing
The great great nothing
Masquerading as something you can name
Always locked inside the cage
Always have to feel the pain
In the darkness of the night
I'm tripping over paradise
And when I trip a never-ending fall
On the way down I’ll see over that wall
Just long enough to see through it all
The great great nothing
The great great nothing
The great great nothing
Masquerading as something you can name
Always locked inside the cage
Always have to feel the pain
In the darkness of the night
I'm tripping over paradise

Boogie Street
03:52
|
|||
Woke up from A night
Of very little sleep
And made our way
out the door like sheep
Down into the trenches
No time for adventure
Just another day
On Boogie Street
No fussing at your hustle
One man slaps the other
And treats you like a
Cold piece of meat
Don't think about tomorrow
Yesterday is over
Beg cheat or borrow
On Boogie Street
I love this city
But I can't stand the scene
The one way streets
Don't dare me to dream
I love this river
But it keeps getting wider
On the other side my love
Is starting a new fire.
I wanna boogie with you
Oh oh oh oh oh
I wanna boogie with you
Oh oh oh oh oh
I wanna boogie with you
Oh oh oh oh oh
I wanna boogie with you
Oh oh oh oh oh
I was in the game
But then the new kids came
When I got on the top
But they all knocked me off
I was in the lead
But now I'm in the way
I put down the fool
But now
I wanna boogie with you
Oh oh oh oh oh
I wanna boogie with you
Oh oh oh oh oh
I wanna boogie with you
Oh oh oh oh oh
I wanna boogie with you
Oh oh oh oh oh

Do You Wanna Go?
03:32
|

The are scorpions in the desert
Monkey’s in the jungle
Dolphins in the ocean
They’re pandas in the bamboo
Do you wanna go? Uh Huh
Do you wanna go? OK!
There are lizards in the cave
Volcanoes on the island
Turtles in the cove
Starfish on the sand bar
Do you wanna go? Uh huh
Do you wanna go? Ok!
This towns getting smaller every day
I could settle down but I just can't stay
Still, I want to see,
A place I've never known
Where they live another way
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go? Uh huh
Do you wanna go? Ok!
There are scrapers in the sky
Trains go underground
It's snowing at the peak
Sun’s setting on the sound
Do you wanna go? Uh huh
Do you wanna go? Ok!
The like another band
They do a different dance
They sing a different song
They love another god
Do you wanna go? Uh huh
Do you wanna know? Ok
Do you wanna go? Alright
Do you wanna know? Let’s Go!
This towns getting smaller every day
I could settle down but I just can't stay
Still I want to see,
a place I've never known
Where they live another way
Do you wanna go?
I wanna go with you
Some where new
I wanna go with you
Some where new
This towns getting smaller every day
I could settle down but I just can't stay
Still I want to see,
a place I've never known
Where they live another way
Do you wanna go?
This towns getting smaller every day
I could settle down but I just can't stay
Still I want to see,
a place I've never known
Where they live another way
Do you wanna go?

Cooking Disco
03:26
|

I didn’t want to follow all the rules
But no one wants to look like the fool
Everywhere I go I’m standing in line
Don’t disturb the grand design
I’m bored always being polite
No one wants to break the ice
Everyday I’m doing my job
I wish someone would come and shake me up
In the shadows there’s revolution
Someone’s cooking, cooking disco
In the shadows elbow to elbow
Someone’s cooking, cooking disco
What would happen if I disobey?
Maybe I should look the other way
What would happen if they overheard?
Are we paranoid or is this absurd
I used to think that I could stand aside
The suits all were certified
Now instead of putting on my crown
The man in the blue is shaking me down
Have you ever woken in the morning
For some reason you knew that you were gonna change?
Dreams in the night left you a warning you know
For some reason you’re not afraid to go
In the shadows there’s revolution
Someone’s cooking, cooking disco
In the shadows elbow to elbow
Someone’s cooking, cooking disco
In the shadows there’s revolution
Someone’s cooking, cooking disco
In the shadows elbow to elbow
Someone’s cooking, cooking disco

Sparkle Like It Used To
03:48

You got all of your things
You put ‘em all in your house
You got every amenity
But you didn’t get me
You been all around the world
You been to all the fancy parties
Oh all the places that you seen
But you didn’t see me
When all the treasure don’t do
It don’t sparkle like it used to
You got all the guitars
You got all the synthesizers
You put your records on in high fidelity
But you can’t hear me
When all the treasure don’t do
Baggage start to weigh on you
It don’t make you happy like it used to
Stuff and things things and stuff
Stuff and things gotta get em all
I’m incomplete this old thing is obsolete
I’m impaired no It can’t be repaired
Stuff and things things and stuff
Stuff and things gotta get em all
I’m incomplete this old thing is obsolete
I’m impaired no It can’t be repaired
When all the treasure won’t do
Baggage start to weigh on you
It don’t make you happy like it used to
It don’t sparkle like it used to

All My Goodies
03:19
|
|||
I got my heart
I got my peepers
I got my tiger face
I got my hairstyle
I got my noodle
I got my big toe
I got my belly button
I got my elbow
One day they're gonna take it back
“Who are they?”
Nobody knows
“Where did they come from?”
I wasn't told
“When are they coming?”
It's a surprise
“What do they want?”
all my goodies, they weren't really mine
I got my lips
Got my pie-hole
I got my meathooks
I got my clapper
I got my bajumbas (my bajumbas)
I got my tootsies (got my tootsies)
Got my meatball (got my meatball)
Got my nipples (got my nipples)
But when I run out of time, they’re coming for mine
One day they're gonna take it back
“Who are they?”
Nobody knows
“Where did they come from?”
I wasn't told
“When are they coming?”
It's a surprise
“What do they want?”
all my goodies, they weren't really mine
I tried to run away
but I just ran in circles
I want out but don’t
want to draw the curtains
I tried to run but I just
go up and down on the carousel
They only made one
way out of the shell
“Who are they?”
Nobody knows
“Where did they come from?”
I wasn't told
“When are they coming?”
It's a surprise
“What do they want?”
all my goodies, they weren't really mine

This Is The Moment
04:24
|
|||
There are satellites above us
Watching all our homes
Sophisticated algorithms track
The places that we go
In the disco there's a bang
screams in the night
But the man with the gun
Never told them why
This is the moment when
Dreams come true
For every face in the crowd
The is the moment when
I say to you
I got it all figured it out
When you remember the
Mist of the morning
And the slow life down by the farm
This is the moment
When dreams come true
So don't you cry when I'm gone
The hard rain moved
From the gulf into the Delta
Hit land in the dead of the night
10 miles Underground they
Built a super-computer
To train an unmanned army
To take the the skies
This is the moment when
Dreams come true
For every face in the crowd
The is the moment when
I say to you
I got it all figured it out
When you remember the
Mist of the morning
And the slow life down by the farm
This is the moment
When dreams come true
So don't you cry when I'm gone
There were ghosts in the shell
Machines making art
Every 15 seconds
Someone gets To be a star
Underwater lasers cut
The crust of the earth
While the fire burns for miles
Into rebirth
This is the age of long distance lovers
Light years and frontiers apart
Black helicopters are circling above us
While the fat cats and aristocrats
Are calling for their kick backs
This is the moment when
Dreams come true
For every face in the crowd
The is the moment when
I say to you
I got it all figured it out
When you remember the
Mist of the morning
And the slow life down by the farm
This is the moment
When dreams come true
So don't you cry when I'm gone
