they're fabricating stars down on that boulevard all lypo and plastic a generation of trademark tragics and all independent thought has been paid for and bought a handful of shiny beads glitter coated and polypropylened runaway runaway runaway pre programed auto pilot well how do you do welcome to the future baby you do look good in blue there's a pill for your anxiety and a needle for your pain there's a powder for your depression and alcohol to keep you sane runaway runaway runaway now it seems we have forgotten what it's like to be free spend all of our time tending that money tree well that money tree is rotten to it's roots and I don't think she'll make it so what will you do when you can no longer fake it runaway runaway runaway runaway runaway runaway

Take a Bow 02:35
I'm lazin on the balcony with nothin on my mind. Blue sky rolls on endlessly it's easy to unwind. Strollin down the beach my heart is quiet and still. Desperately it wants to reach any feeling, and thrill. So I cry for you, are you crying too? No point trying to pretend. It's all over now, love got lost somehow, Take a bow, it's the end. My aching, broken heart all full of regret. Can't yet begin to start to try to forget. Lost you along the way and now the deed is done. Nothing I can do or say, your war is won. So I cry for you, are you crying too? No point trying to pretend. It's all over now, love got lost somehow Take a bow, it's the end. So take a bow It's your moment now It's all yours my friend. These ties are torn This is a love unborn Welcome to the end Welcome to the end So I'm lazin on the balcony With nothin on my mind Blue sky rolls on endlessly It's easy to unwind.

Said the rock to the hard place do you think you can crush this man Said the hard place to the rock well I'm pretty sure we can Said the rock to the hard place now you stay right where you are I'll roll right over him before he runs to far Stuck in the middle once again Trapped in that place where I can't win Seems I'm always making the worst out of a good situation No matter what I try to do no matter what I try to do Said the frying pan to the fire now would you like a turn Said the fire to the pan well I'll shortly make him burn Said the frying pan to the fire now if I burn his feet He's gonna jump right out of here and fall into your great heat Stuck in the middle once again Trapped in that place where I can't win Seems I'm always making the worst out of a good situation No matter what I try to do no matter what I try to do Said the devil to the deep blue sea do you think you can drown this man Said the deep blue sea to the devil well surely that's the plan Said the devil to the deep blue sea if you drag him into your depths I'll torment his soul so much that he'll never catch his breath Stuck in the middle once again Trapped in that place where I can't win Seems I'm always making the worst out of a good situation No matter what I try to do no matter what I try to do

Dirty Heaven 06:45
two bells past midnight the witching hour is come dark desires running wild like a bullet from a gun this city does not sleep in this city you'll find angels weep broken wings are standard fare lay your money down and buy a pair jaded laughter from broken widows shattered glass like so many fallen stars guilty pleasures flood your senses neon lights a seedy bars this city does not sleep in this city you'll find angels weep broken wings are standard fare lay your money down and buy a pair all your prayers returned to sender god's left town that great pretender got no snake oil left to sell you he's run out there's an alice on every corner selling magic tickets to her carpet ride there's a spider in every doorway calling welcome to my parlour won't you step inside this city does not sleep in this city you'll find angels weep broken wings are standard fare lay your money down and buy a pair all your prayers returned to sender god's left town that great pretender got no snake oil left to sell you he's run out all your prayers returned to sender god's left town that great pretender got no snake oil left to sell you he's run out twelve bells past midnight now the witching hour is gone dark desires have run their wild like bullets from a gun this city does not sleep in this city you'll find angels weep broken wings are standard fare lay your money down and buy a pair all your prayers returned to sender god's left town that great pretender got no snake oil left to sell you he's run out all your prayers returned to sender god's left town that great pretender got no snake oil left to sell you he's run out he's run out he's run out

Fancy pictures in a magazine There were teenage wishes and bedroom dreams Your favorite band pinned up on the wall Clapped out escort your first car well it never got you very far but hey that was half the fun Time moves slowly when you're young when you're young but it makes up ground quickly as the years roll on the years roll on the years roll on they roll on and on nine to five and rotating shifts that all important shopping list family nights instead of the local bar monthly payments on the family home there's a credit purchase on your new iphone warranties are kept in the second drawer Time moves slowly when you're young when you're young but it makes up ground quickly as the years roll on the years roll on the years roll on they roll on and on midlife crisis has come and gone now your body dances to a different song it's the midnight toilet rendezvous grey hair well it's on the attack and every time you move something else cracks all your close they're going out of style Time moves slowly when you're young when you're young but it makes up ground quickly as the years roll on the years roll on the years roll on they roll on and on Fancy pictures in a magazine There were teenage wishes and bedroom dreams Your favorite band pinned up on the wall

well I'm definitely not certain, but I'm reasonably sure.. Seems that we're addicted to needing and wanting more. Time, money, success, shiny objects and pretty things. All the stuff a good productive life's supposed to bring... Well walk me through these blues. Walk me right out of my shoes. In all this gain there's so much more we lose. In these epic consumption blues. Even when I'm alone and it's quiet and still. There's a gaping hole that I simply must fill. What is this never-ending needful madness? Are we suffering from incurable sadness? Walk me through these blues. Walk me right out of my shoes. In all this gain there's so much more we lose. In these epic consumption blues... Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, burn baby burn. The bastards are building bullshit. The cockwombles collect concern. Will us wankers wise up? When will us losers learn? The earth doesn't need humanity to turn. So take a real good look around. Everything you could want or need is easily found. So what is it we're searching for? As we sit here needing, wanting more more more! Walk me through these blues. Walk me right out of my shoes. In all this gain there's so much more we lose. In these epic consumption blues.. In your hot pink stiletto Jimmy choos. That match quite perfectly with your nose job bruise. And as advertised on the evening news... So tell me which catalogue lifestyle are you gonna choose? In these epic consumption blues....

She was born wild and free A gypsy spirit, like a wave upon the sea. That's how she's always been. Lived her life wild and free. She never fit her hometown Wasn't in her just to settle down She said "that place is not for me, gonna blow this scene, See the world, cos I'm wild and free" "See me dancing in the rain I will not be tamed" When you ask the reason why, She'll look at you and smile And then scream, " cos I'm wild and free" When she told them of her dreams, they said "You're crazy girl, they'll never become real" But she believed, she held on strong, Cos she was wild and free... And she did not care For the whispered comments, Or those half hidden stares.. She said "I'm no shadow stranger, I'm just wild and free" See me dancing in the rain I will not be tamed. When you ask the reason why, She'll look at you and smile and then scream ,"I'm wild and free.." She was born wild and free A gypsy spirit, like wave upon the sea That's how she's always been, Lived her life, wild and free Wild and free Wild and free Wild and free Yeah she was wild and free

I am so sad and you're not here. So I close my eyes and fight back a tear. When you come home you're not even there. So I sit alone beside you in the chair. We're going to a place where there's no one home. Both together, we're both alone We want to swim like fishes, or float like leaves, but we're just sinking like a stone. You are so far away from me it aches. I am moving through the pieces as it breaks. When we hold each other our arms are so cold. Our love is surely growing wearier and old. We've moved into that place where there's no one home. Still together, and still alone. We couldn't swim like fishes, or float like leaves, We just grew colder to the bone, all alone... In that place where.. where we're all alone. Yeah that place where... We call home. So you're standing with your back turned, your bags at the door. I'm staring out the window, not crying anymore. Abandoned plans, and clammy hands and sorries that aren't real. And those empty gestures and the numbness that I feel... So I've moved out of that place where there's no one home. I'm finding new places to roam. Gonna sit and watch those fishes, catch some floating leaves.. My sighs, my sorrows, are mine to own, and mine alone... In that place where... Where I'm all alone. Yeah that place where... I call home.

Time Flys 06:18
Rats in a race Lines on your face Everything is in place There's still time Cars are going by There's things we need to try A big blue sky We've got time Rough and tumble Life's a jumble Everyone is a clown Spinning clockwise Oh how time flies Round and round. The sun is going down There's no one else around Can't hear a single sound What's the time? Yeah the water's flowing fast There's ghosts of the past Does anything last For all time? Rough and tumble Life's a jumble Everyone is a clown Spinning clockwise, Oh how time flies Round and round And round Time flies Time flies Time flies The clock is tickin by So many reasons why Too soon it's goodbye Do we have time? Rough and tumble Life's a jumble Everyone is a clown Spinning clockwise Oh how time flies Round and round And round and round And round Time flies Time flies Time flies

The champagne glass was empty. Red lipstick stained the rim. Emerald eyes shining bright Although the lights were dim. She sat there in the darkened room In a low cut sequinned dress All designed just to seduce him Then get him to confess She saw the door move slowly open Out of the corner of her eye Then she said "well hey Joe, whadda you know, it's time to sigh" Blues vinyl records spinnin round the stylus Wailin 'bout ex lovers and how they defile us. The body was discovered Wrapped within a velvet curtain The corpse, a mangled blood red hot mess How long it was lying there, well Nobody was certain. And who dunnit, really was anyone's guess. Her champagne kisses tasted sweet, as they ran across his lips. Her hands cradling his face, his nails dug into her hips. He fell back, heavily, in the chair. All spinnin head and dizzy. She reached for a length of rope and started getting busy. Tying off the final knot, she breathed a little sigh. Then she said " well hey Joe, whadda ya know, it's time to die" Blues vinyl record on the radio. No matter which direction, there's only one way to go... The body was discovered Wrapped within a velvet curtain. The corpse, a mangled blood red hot mess. How long it was lying there well, Nobody was certain. And who dunnit, really was anyones guess. She's waiting at the station A suitcase at her heel The champagne glass was tucked inside Her secret not revealed. The boys in blue come runnin in, Will justice prevail? And though her bloody fingerprints were clean, She was handcuffed to the rail. And as the train rolled down the track A little tear she cried. And then she said "well hey Joe, Whadda ya know, It's time to say Goodbye.
