If you′re afraid to cry Though you could use it once in awhile Nothing will cloud your eyes You′ve been caught in one of those times When nothing′s real or getting through And it seems like you′ve forgotten how to feel Call me...I′ll feel...for you And some days you′ll feel for me too If you′re afraid to smile Though you could use it just to survive There′s nowhere you want to drive And you′re only staying alive ′Cause it′s the thing to do And it seems your bell′s forgotten how to ring Call me...I′ll feel...for you If you′re afraid to cry Though you could use it just to survive There′s nowhere you want to drive And you′re only staying alive ′Cause it′s the thing to do And it seems your mouth′s forgotten how to sing Call me...Yeah...call me Call me...I′ll feel....for you And some days you′ll feel for me too
Its a hurting desire strong and sweet Memory so pretty I can hardly say You thought I was sleeping as you walked to the street You gave what you wanted then you went away Did you mean what you did Would you give it again What you gave as a gift I went on a mission to the town where you lived Dark, dusty places youve not seen in awhile I want to seek the basements where you hid I want to see your face as a little child Did you mean what you did Would you give it again What you gave as a gift
Driven through the canyons I was Dazzled by the mountains and we didn′t go very far Close enough to heaven if you Climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star I tried to get inside I bought a Ticket with my pride and I was gone right out of my head I went out for a ride to go Across a great divide but I ended up at home instead California I thought I should see Now I′m back home, yeah With twelve little pieces of me I was just a passenger a Rider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at night A visitor a stranger thought i Might pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lights Tore my heart out from my chest Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul Chose the ones I loved the most Drove em all down to the coast Threw em in a big black hole California I thought I should see Now I′m back home, yeah With twelve little pieces of me California I dreamed I would find Some kinda sorta pick-me-up Twelve little pieces of my mind California I thought I should see Now I′m back home, yeah With twelve little pieces of me California I dreamed I would find Some kinda sorta pick-me-up Twelve pieces of my mind
Time you needed time out of the mainstream Out on your only Alone to find yourself somehow So I′m a bit surprised to see you lately Beside a brand new baby But if it makes you happy now I guess thats great I guess you′re not mine Brand new baby beside you now oh yeah I guess thats great You don′t see me cryin′ And theres nobody to slow you down oh yeah If you′re feeling sorry try to contain it You don′t need to save me Don′t waste your pity anyhow And you might like to believe I′m devastated To see you with your brand new baby Well if it makes you happy now i guess thats great I guess you′re not mine Brand new baby beside you now oh yeah I guess thats great You don′t see me cryin′ And theres nobody to slow you down Seen you with your brand new baby Sure it fazes me just to hear you laughing Makes me just a little crazy but I guess its a great thing If it makes you happy now
Its not the pain Im used to it Its feeling like Im already dead I see from the ceiling a misty spirit Rising from a place in my head And I never even get to go down Down in flames I said friend you have a life to see Why do you scare me so All the sufferings a mystery to me I cant even pretend to know So youll never even get to go down Down in flames We had plans to explore the stars Be rejected by stage door guards Mining for gold as the time unreels Not stifling behind suburban wheels Not stifling behind suburban wheels The plan was too burn up when the air was clear Wed all wear our visors down An arcwelder spark in the atmosphere Not this man sized hole in the ground Now your fathers face is frozen between anger and tears Your mothers hairs amazingly gray And Im seeing these friends for the first time in years Its icicle reunion day And you never even got to go down Down in flames You never even got to go down Down in flames
Shes got it all worked out in her mind And you′re part of the plan And you don′t have the final word Shes got a long head start on your brain And your heart is afraid And you don′t get to say you′re thinking Come on make it easy now Come on make it easy on us all Come on make it easy now or tears may fall Shes got it all worked out I′m afraid And your time is arranged And its strange but you′re feeling fine (rock on)
Matador sweeps the veil From the last young day of my life Malibu tides inhale Santa ana winds from behind Wade out into the water No more chances this year Ive busied myself all summer My day for swimming is here Yes its time Seaside revelations All those dreams and visions of mine Washed up like a vacation Lost as I wasted my time Looking through my dark glasses I see smiles on the faces of friends But time keeps pushing me on now And Ill ride this wave till the end Please dont go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please dont go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Say goodbye to the weekend And the last of the summertime sun Driving off the end of a decade So many things to be done September and the trees are restless Windchimes blow in the dark Lying on the couch defenseless With blue clouds court and spark Please dont go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please dont go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please dont go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please dont go away Stay awhile, stay awhile

In the morning of the first night of my life I was feeling like I′d lost my inspiration Then in the afternoon she walked into the light To relieve me of my doubt and desperation
She′s not coming here to make herself a name She only wants to play with me to see if she can win And we both want it to happen
None down in the bottom of the ninth with three men on And she saw me like nobody′s ever done before Now in the glory of victorious dominion She′s receding in the sunshine down the corridor
She′s not in it for the money or the fame She only came to play with me to see what place I′m in And we both know who′s gonna give in
For the love of the game Sometimes you′ve gotta cry a little For the love of the game Maybe even gotta die a little For the love of the game I made a sacrifice I never thought I′d have to make
For the love of the game Sometimes you′ve gotta cry a little For the love of the game Maybe even gotta die a little For the love of the game I made a sacrifice I never thought I′d have to make (I made a sacrifice...)
Sometimes you′ve gotta cry a little For the love of the game Maybe even gotta die a little For the love of the game I made a sacrifice I never thought I′d have to make
Made to last awhile And roll on Made to move in style And move along Made to dream of flying So high Made to wake up crying I dont know why Beautiful one Asleep in the sun Secret, sweet, and sublime I hope you last a long, long time Made to come alone And pair up Flash like a rolling stone Seventy-one One time love affair With the earth Waiting on the air For some re-birth (for what its worth) Wherever you are Nearby or far Black, white, lemon or lime I hope you last a long, long time
I wandered in the moonlight A ghost without a friend All around the starlight found are lost and wounded men. I know that I did some damage I wanted to be home again So I waited for a star my soul to mend I waited for a star my soul to mend. She came a long way to love me And I′m tasting her spark She came a long way to kiss me Now my lips are wet I know that I don′t deserve it But I want to hear her sigh And I want to stay here forever in her light I want to stay forever in her light. Star you′re a beautiful sight Bring me you lovely light I′ll be a satellite, satellite. Star you′re a beautiful sight Bring me you lovely light I′ll be a satellite, satellite. And there′s a dark crater space in heaven And I might want you to shine And there′s a bright little place in my head And darkness blows my mind I can lie on my back and wonder Why I′ve been treated so fine And make love to her while we have tonight I′ll make love to her while we have tonight. Star you′re a beautiful sight Bring me you lovely light I′ll be a satellite, satellite. Star you′re a beautiful sight Bring me you lovely light I′ll be a satellite, satellite. I′ll be a satellite, satellite, I′ll be a satellite, satellit
Over mountains That′s where my love lives A long long ride to sunland Here where I did this Across the great divide Alone (wondering open afraid and) Arriving alive Unknown (unknown unwise and unaided) If I could I mihgt Send my love on a plane ride A black cross high in a blue sky A green cross gliding on a million pines Across the great divide Alone wondering open afraid and Arrive in a life Unknown (unknown unwise and unaided) Across the great divide Alone (wondering open afraid and) Try to find a life Unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)
Long ago, I was told there were riches inside of me Someone old hid the gold and the finding was my affair In those days when my ears heard a story, my mind believed So I searched with my greed in the sunshine for all to see there
I′m in over my head in this game Over my head And I′m afraid I′m never gonna find my way back to where I′ve been
Yes you know many tried, none succeeded my mind (my mind), to train When the fools came to lay down their money I laughed (I laughed), uncool Saw the mouth of the whale just in time to go down (go down) the drain Now I float with my boat in the darkness and play the fool
I′m in over my head in this game Over my head And I′m afraid I′m never gonna find my way back to where I′ve been
I′m in over my head in this game Over my head And I′m afraid I′m never gonna find my way back to where I′ve been ...To find my way back to where I′ve been

I remember when I found out about chemistry It was a long, long way from here I was old enough to want it but younger than I wanted to be Suddenly my mission was clear
So for awhile I conducted experiments And I was amazed by the things I learned From a fine fine girl with nothing but good intentions and a Bad tendency to get burned
All about chemistry Won′t you show me everything you know Ah wonder what you do to me Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Some time later I met a young graduate When I had nobody to call my own I told her I was looking for somebody to appreciate And I just couldn′t do it alone
So for awhile we conducted experiments In an apartment by the River Road And we found out that the two things we put together had a Bad tendency to explode
All about chemistry Won′t you show me everything you′ve learned I′ll memorize everything you do to me so I can Teach it when it comes my turn
Fine spring day, California waves Sweet Pacific scenes through the Windows of airplanes and hotel rooms
So when I find myself alone and unworthy I think about all of the things I learned from the Fine fine women with nothing but good intentions and a Bad tendency to get burned
All about chemistry Won′t you show me everything you know Ah wonder what you do to me Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
All about chemistry Won′t you show me everything you′ve learned I′ll memorize everything you do to me so I can Teach it when it comes my turn
It′s all about chemistry It′s all about chemistry Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
It′s all about chemistry It′s all about chemistry Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

High above the mid way lights High above the rides you me and the sky The whole world looks small tonight And you said that we could never really fly Well if youre right and were nothing at all Tell me why did I keep thinking bout you calling If youre right and were nothing at all Tell me why do you keep thinking that youre falling Swaying singing at the skywheel top Then you say that I can never make you mine Well lights rings constellations turn and stop Kiss me once again and change your mind If youre right and were nothing at all Tell me why did I keep thinking bout you calling If youre right and were nothing at all Tell me why do you keep thinking that youre falling
Saturday morning along and barely feeling Sitting at home after rocking and areeling All night in a cat fight With the only one that can make me cry Open the blinds and the world is in rotation Shaking my mind like an etch-a-sketch erasing Sunshine, you were bad, im Still mad but I cant remember why I believe you know me well I react like youre rining a bell Are you sorry that you treat me unkind Never you mind Rolling along to the song that aggravates us Beckoned on by the mirage of an oasis Hurry, Im getting blurry And its no longer clear in my mind I believe you know me well I react like youre ringing a bell Are you sorry that you treat me unkind Never you mind I believe I got you down You react like anybody else around Are you sorry that we wasted our time Never you mind Sometimes it takes all my time guessing why I cant figure it out Sometimes it takes all my energy just to forget about All the memories that Id be better off without I believe you know me well Switch on the box mr. spock is on the table Dr. mccoy is unable to connect his brain Sweatin and strainin Well it seemed so simple at the time
Dnd Now theyll leave us alone Dnd Now you turn off the phone How like you to make the whole world disappear and How like you to make everything seem so clear and How like you to make me want to stay forever Here behind your door Dnd Hang the sign on the door Dnd Dont disturb us no more How like you to make your love my hideaway and How like you to make my troubles slide away and How like you to make me want to play forever Here behind your door Minute I got some space and time I wanted to get me back in the crowd Minute I got some peace you found me trying to make my way to the loud What a clown... Dnd Leave the hotel at noon Dnd Will I see you soon? How like you to make the whole world disappear and How like you to make everything seem so clear and How like you to make me want to stay forever Here behind your door Dnd Dnd Dnd Now theyll leave us alone
Morning comes and morning goes Now its me against the sun The day goes by and darkness grows And its over before its done Well I know itll be alright if I just get on the road If I run I can free my worried mind Yeah I know on the day I die I will lose my heavy load But I wouldnt want to leave you behind All my time keeps creeping on Now Ive grown into a man But mr child still wants to run From the cradle to the van Keep thinking itll be alright if I just get on the road If I run I can free my worried mind Keep thinking of the day I die when I lose my heavy load But I wouldnt want to leave you behind
Thursdays crush is a friday night rush And a monday morning cry Its the tail that you keep chasing And it gets away every time New years eve and its hard to believe Another zodiacs gone around While you drank yourself high on hoping And watched the ceiling spin from the ground Counting down from ten its time To make your annual prayer Secret santa in the sky When will I get my share Then you tell yourself What you want to hear Cause you have to believe This will be my year Pound your fist and cross it off your list But you know youre not that strong When the man at the stop light catches you Singing along to a brand new song Well maybe its Trash or the overnight smash that brings your Ship crashing through the wall So you can make your grand departure From a world getting way too small One wheel in the ditch another Spinning in the air Put your pedal down to the floorboard but youre not Getting anywhere Then you tell yourself What you want to hear Cause you have to believe This will be my year
Our little secret just might be the kind of thing that you cant hide Its growing like a tangled vine & rising like a river in the tide And everybody knew when you walked into the room I was just a fool for you, nothing I could do Everybody sees you taking control of me Well I′m not begging for release I′m just begging darling please, please Act naturally Don′t let our troubles show Don′t let anybody know Till we get it figured out Don′t give them anything that they could doubt Our little problem doesn′t seem to be about to go away As far as I can tell its gonna keep on showing more with every day And everybody look, yeah, that was all it took I cant help believing they can read me like a book So hide your feelings tight till we figure how to make it right I don′t know what I should but i Would do it if I could Act naturally Just be you beautiful Just be you casual Ill be me before the fall You be you before this all came down (act naturally) Don′t let our troubles show Don′t let anybody know Till we get it figured out Don′t give them anything that they could doubt Act naturally (remove this line) Just be you beautiful Just be you casual Ill be me before the fall You be you before this all came down
Now the rain comes down the windows and it Drops onto the forehead of the waiting boy He surveys his rental kingdom and he Wondersif hes really lost his joy Another fool would go down to the Only place she went to lose herself Shes gone to the movies now and she dont need your help Now the rain turns into snowfall as the City sky reflects the silver street below And it covers up the cars and the wall- Flowers cd ended half an hour ago Another fool would dig the broken car out from the snow And drive to find the show Shes gone to the movies now and shes not coming home Shes gone to the movies now and shes not coming home Now he looks around his place and anyways Theres nowhere she could sit besides the bed And he wonders if the car will start tomorrow Or hell have to take the bus instead Any other fool would be out on the roadway Trying to spot her rusted pontiac Shes gone to the movies now and shes not coming home Shes gone to the movies now and shes not coming home

All above me the stars are bright And a sweet suburban breeze is blowing And down the block are the parking lights Of a hundred friends who I barely know and Dont know me Dont know me None of them know me And all through the party I want to leave (all alone with one true love) I could be happy if I could be (in the dark with one true love) And in the middle of everyone I still find myself with my thoughts alone And in the middle of all the noise Look around myself at the shining toys that I dont need I dont need I dont really need And all through the party I want to leave (all alone with one true love) All of the lights are shining on me (but all I want is one true love) In this world I can see Many billions waiting in the sun So Id love to believe Thered be one of us for everyone One of us for everyone Enough to go around But thats not what Ive found And all through the party I want to leave (all alone with one true love) All of the lights are shining on me (all I want is one true love) All of my life Ive just wanted to be (all alone with one true love) Every day and night to be on my own with One true love With one true love With one true love With one true love With one true love
I went to see temptation yesterday In a fourplex on the old high drive Cause something in my life was runaway Or maybe to prove that I am still alive Temptation lives alone and she works all day So I waited after five on her front porch She arrived parked her car and she walked my way She smiled to see me standing at her door Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin She turned the key in the lock and let me in Ah temptation showed me what I shouldnt do Ah temptation showed me what I shouldnt do Somewhere in the world tonight Two lovers are treating each other right Somewhere else in a lonely town One lover waits an endless hour Driving home in the dark I say this time will be the last I know what I should never do At least Ill keep temptations photograph Maybe hang onto her phone number too Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin Well I dont plan to tell anyone where Ive been Ah temptation showed me what I shouldnt do Ah temptation showed me what I shouldnt do

The years unfold in one moment The voices that we heard so loud Are now suddenly silenced Inside this crowd
And you′re surrounded by the lives Of those who found something to hold So bringing everybody down Is all you know
You’ve been hiding so long You can′t find yourself In this sheltered life you live When everything you want is at your fingertips You’ll never know what need is
You’re claiming to be something different So wanting to believe That you′re better than the rest To make up for your self-esteem You talk to hear your own voice and You’ve left me no choice but to choose I miss the person that you were But I don′t miss you
You’ve been hiding so long You can′t find yourself In this sheltered life you live When everything you want is at your fingertips You’ll never know what need is
You’re the new revolution The angst-filled adolescent You fit the stereotype well
1, 2, 3, Go!
You’re the new revolution The angst-filled adolescent You fit the stereotype well [Repeat to fade]
So come test me, so come break me So come on intoxicate me With hands tied behind my back I fight And wait for you to strike
A new problem we cannot stop them We′re outnumbered and uncautioned A rally cry rings out into the night
So pride yourself on what you are And hold them all to words they can′t take back I′ve seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams Where fires die but light still shines for us to see
What did you have to say? Give me your logic, your definition The words you twist to justify your position Of mass starvation and blind airstrikes Every problem is solved with a fight
Peace won′t be found Till we′re underground As long as we live without a sound
So pride yourself on what you are And hold them all to words they can′t take back I′ve seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams Where fires die but light still shines for us to see
Would God bless a murder of the innocents? Would God bless a war based on pride? Would God bless a money-hungry government? Noooo!
Would God bless our ineffective court system? God bless the sweatshops we run. God bless America? God bless America? (Noooo)

The boy′s no good. Yeah, he′s a fuckin′ hood. He won′t treat you like he should. I heard he′s making time with this friend of mine. I heard he′s talking trash. I saw that kid last night. He′s starting fights. He′s got that nervous twitching. He′s just not the kid for you. He′s all dressed up. He′s got nothing to do, but he′s got something. He′s cool as anything, but he′s not good. That boy′s a fucking creep.

Our buildings have fallen, our walls all caved in, And we can′t comprehend this sad state that we′re in So we sift through the ashes of what we′ve become And surrender here one by one, so push us down
And we get right back up again, The things you′re telling me aren′t making any sense, Right back up again, I′m sick of wishing for someone else to come
Let the blind lead the blind, Cause its eye for an eye In your so called life, Are you out there? Are you listening? Is there something we′re still missing?
Let the blind lead the blind, Cause it′s eye for an eye, We all fall down
And we get right back up again, The things you′re telling me aren′t making any sense, Right back up again, I′m sick of wishing for someone else to come
We′re spinning out of control We’re trying to find somewhere to land And I don′t want you to know The things that keep me down
Cause we get right back up again, The things you′re telling me aren′t making any sense, Right back up again, I′m sick of wishing for someone else to come
In the face of change That’s when she turned to me and said, "I’m not sure anymore..." And there amidst the waves And the cloudless skies That blanket the year before I watch my life wash a shore
Have you ever been a part of something That you thought would never end? And then of course it did Have you ever felt the weight inside you Pulling away inside your skin? And then something had to give
Now the lines are drawn Is this feeling gone? The best parts of this have come and gone And now that is all this is With the reasons clear We’ll spend another year Without direction, full of fear And now things will be different
There’s nothing simple when it comes to you and i Always something in this everchanging life And it probably always will Now that time is getting harder to come by The same arguments are always on our mind We’ve killed this slowly fading light
Now the lines are drawn Is this feeling gone? The best parts of this have come and gone And now that is all this is With the reasons clear We’ll spend another year Without direction, full of fear But now things will be different
And now something has kept me here too long And you can′t leave me if I’m already gone
Well now something (hey) has kept me here too long And you can′t leave me (hey) if I’m already gone
Now let′s say that something (hey) has kept me here too long And you can′t leave me (hey) if I’m already gone
Make the same mistakes we′re always hanging on Break the promises we′re always leaning on All this time spent waking up {Now I} keep this line open to get this call from you {As you} speak the words that keep me coming back to you Now this time it′s all different
Now something has kept me here too long and now I’m gone...
Speak with hesitation Talk with reservation Blood on your hands dried long since But guilt still glowing in your eyes
You hide behind (And now this blood has long since dried) Your perfect crime (Guilt still glowing in your eyes) Never ask why you lie
Now I′ve watched you
Stack the mistakes you′ve made on top Of the lies to hide them Your excuses just don′t add up Empty handed we all wonder why
You hide behind (And now this blood has long since dried) Your perfect crime (Guilt still glowing in your eyes) Never ask why you lie
Now I know that Your words Your actions Intentions all were lies Your heart grows heavier with time (And now this blood has long since dried!) Have I said enough? Have I said too much? Is it your responsibility to decide? You’re heart grows heavier with time (I will decide!) And I fell victim to the changing tide And this blood has long since dried This blood has long since dried
I′m not fucking blind to the way That you talk around the truth Not just what you say But what you do Played this tug of war way too fucking long Like every time Again I′ve lost
You’ve won You took advantage of the trust that I gave Took my forgiveness Rubbed it back in my face Reaching for words but there′s nothing to say I′m left to wonder Will this ever be the same?
This rage Burning through my veins Regret consumes my mind Cutting deeply like a razor blade Will I live to see another day Without questioning your motives With constant doubt
You took advantage of the trust that I gave Took my forgiveness Rubbed it back in my face Reaching for words But there′s nothing to say I′m left to wonder Will this ever be the same?
And as we sit back And waiting for these scars to heal Try to convince ourselves That this That this isn′t real Will you allow me forget your past Or will you always hang it over my head
[Spoken:] (It is, in the end, whatever the Hell I want it to be, And when I′m through with it, it′s gonna blow a hole, This wide, straight through the worlds own idea of itself. They′re throwing bottles at your house. Come on, lets go break their arms.)
You talk about the way things were, But I can′t hear what you′re saying. A time when life was not this hard, Blessed by the innocence.
Is the best yet to come? Or did it pass by long ago? Are we holding on to a thread, Of something already dead?
I′m not your reason to stand up straight, Shoulders back, chest out, and eyes raised. Stepping back, I hesitate. I can′t let myself be taken.
Is the best yet to come? Or did it pass by long ago? Are we holding on to a thread, Of something already dead?
You can′t change your mind, expect me to care. You can′t just snap your fingers and expect me to be there. [2x] Can′t just change your mind.
The reception fades, the signals breaking up. And am I moving on or am I giving up? If you walk away from this with anything, Live your life today.
I can still remember The words and what they meant As we etched them with our fingers In years of wet cement The days blurred into each other Though everything seemed clear We cruised along at half speed But then we shifted gears
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons But even then we should have stayed But we ran away Now all my friends are gone Maybe we′ve outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone?
Identities assume us As nine and five add up Synchronizing watches To the seconds that we lost I looked up and saw you I know that you saw me We froze but for a moment In empathy
I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug You gave my emptiness a name But you ran away Now all my friends are gone Maybe we′ve outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone?
We′re all ok, until the day we′re not The surface shines, while the inside rots We raced the sunset and we almost won We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on
We ran away Now all my friends are gone Maybe we′ve outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone?
Now′s the time To rearrange your life Live for something Outside of your own mind We all dream The same dream every night To burn the world that you call civilized
Alive and well I live to be alive And I live to always strive For something more Alive and well I’ll never understand The who, what, why or when Of you tonight...
We face the stares of judgement And almost everyday The shaking heads Of disapproval say, "Pray for you to give me something Then find out that there was nothing else."
Alive and well I live to be alive And I live to always strive For something more Alive and well I’ll never understand The who, what, why or when Of you tonight...
Recite the words inside Realize that this is nothing Without your voice I′m not giving up Not giving up Not giving up And I’ll blame the worst on you I know what′s wrong
Alive and well I live to be alive And i live to always strive For something more ′Cause I’m alive and well Nothing ventured, nothing gained And i don′t need to explain Myself to you Myself to you
We don′t sleep very much These triggers ache for the touch Where′s the strength we relied on? Fear alone, like a crutch, maybe that′s what keeps us up all night with the light on
All these screams emulate Lives that no longer take place Can this be what we′ve become? Paper thin, overweight, pills to arouse or sedate Still we don′t know what we want
We can′t let go Can′t you see? To lose control is to be...
Finally free! First a spark Then a flame Now a fire We explode into the darkest of nights disconnect cut the cord lines are dead Now they′ll know with everything comes a price
And each day we are torn between the right and the wrong between life and convenience Why do we sleep? Why complain? There′s always channels to change It′s like elective amnesia As we grow older in this place Let′s just start over Let′s erase What they′ve made!
First a spark Then a flame Now a fire We explode into the darkest of nights disconnect cut the cord lines are dead Now they′ll know with everything comes a price
It could be minutes away It could be hours or days Before the bottom falls out Before the ground gives way Into this debt we are born A debt we try to repay And yet we blacken the sky Smoke rising out of the flames Now they′ll know...
First a spark Then a flame Now a fire We explode into the darkest of nights disconnect cut the cord lines are dead Now they′ll know with everything comes a price (First a spark) (Then a flame) (Now a fire) We explode We explode With everything comes a prince (disconnect) (cut the cord) (lines are dead) We explode We explode
