C-SPAN ( /ˈsiːspæn/), an acronym for Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network, is an American cable television network that offers coverage of federal government proceedings and other public affairs programming via its three television channels (C-SPAN, C-SPAN2 and C-SPAN3), one radio station and a group of websites that provide streaming media and archives of C-SPAN programs. C-SPAN's television channels are available to over 100 million cable and satellite households within the United States, while WCSP-FM, also called C-SPAN Radio, is broadcast on FM radio in Washington, D.C., and is available throughout the U.S. on XM Satellite Radio, via Internet streaming, by telephoning 202-626-8888, and through an iPhone app.
The network televises U.S. political events, particularly live and gavel-to-gavel coverage of the U.S. Congress as well as occasional proceedings of the Canadian and British Parliaments and major events worldwide. Its coverage of political and policy events is unedited, thereby providing viewers (or listeners) with unfiltered information about politics and government. Non-political coverage includes: historical programming, programs dedicated to non-fiction books and interview programs with noteworthy individuals connected to public policy. C-SPAN is a non-profit organization, funded by a relatively small 6-cent per subscriber affiliate fee paid by its cable and satellite affiliates, and does not carry advertisements on any of its networks, radio stations or websites, nor does it ever solicit donations or pledges. The network operates independently, and neither the cable industry nor Congress has power over the content of its programming.

The devil on my should tells me he's proud of me
That it takes a real man to look out for himself and no one else
I don't want to believe that
But sometimes it's easier to just stay silent
I wish I knew how to speak out
I never had a problem with words
But only when talking to someone else
There's a wear inside me that's all my own
And I need to talk like a king to keep myself afloat
But how much longer until everyone knows?
There's a war inside me that's all my own
There's a war inside me that's all my own
I should have started to take my own advice
From the moment that I started giving it
But I can only control what happens from here
And if none of this had happened
Then I couldn't have heard...
The angel on my shoulder tells me he's proud of me
That it takes a real man to live for everyone else before himself
I know I believe it
And it'll never get easier
But it will always be worth it
There's a war inside me that's all my own
I'm still learning to speak out against myself
And stay on the path I truly want to be on
Though I've lost my way more times that I have wished
My heart is constant and willing
I still believe that we were made for more
That what I've been doing lately
This end of depression will be the start of getting back what I have lost
Because I had become conceited
But I'm making it back to where I last left off
And so I've shown you my heart
I'm feeling, I'm feeling good
I'm waving to the prisoners the best I could
And there is one minute, minute a mile
I'm fucking in the alley ways, you know my style
So come on, let's ride it you do it well
Shed another tear for the boys in hell
And we did El Topo, a case of rum
Talking to your elders with a broken thumb
Ahhh Julie, Julie wanna hit you with a frying pan
Ahhh Julie, Julie wanna hit you, wanna hurt you, wanna shoot you through a cat scan
I am a mothman, I wanna eat right through your clothes
I wanna take you out for dinner, I'll treat you good like an English rose
I'm feeling, I'm feeling good
I'm waving to the prisoners the best I could
And there is one minute, minute a mile
I'm fucking in the alley ways, you know my style
So come on, let's ride it you do it well
Shed another tear for the boys in hell
And we did El Topo, a case of rum
Talking to your elders with a broken thumb
Ahhh Julie, Julie wanna (??) from your ivory hand
Ahhh Julie, Julie wanna hit you, wanna hurt you, wanna dress you up like mothman
(Dress you up like mothman x2)
I am a mothman, I wanna eat right through your clothes
I wanna take you out for dinner, I'll treat you good like an English rose
I am a mothman, I control the insects x2
I am a mothman, I wanna eat right through your clothes
I wanna take you out for dinner, I'll treat you good like an English rose x2
I hear voices, they tell me to stop
Why should I listen? They've never felt the drop
They hide in corners behind the pretty girls
In their gold, in their gold, in their gold
One minute to a, one minute to a
one minute to midnight
My soul, you can have it
'Cause it don't mean shit
I'd sell it to the devil for another hit
And midnight is coming
and I wish that you were here
I hear voices echo in my brain
They don't like it 'cause I'm not dressed the same
They hunt for rabbits just like Yosemite Sam
Say your prayers, say your prayers, say your prayers
One minute to a, one minute to a
one minute to midnight
My soul, you can have it
'Cause it don't mean shit
I'll sell it to the devil for another hit
And midnight is coming
and I wish that you were here
My soul, you can have it
'Cause it don't mean shit
I'll sell it to the devil for another hit
And midnight is coming
and I wish that you were here
There's no need to fall
there's no need at all
Out of control on my own
trying to find my way back
How did I end up here?
And into darkness I walk
as the world goes on by
Out of control on my own
trying to find my way back
How did I end up here?
And into darkness I walk
as the world goes on by
I hear voices they tell me to stop
I hear voices they tell me to stop
I hear voices they tell me to stop
I will follow you now wherever you go
I'll be with you now, stick around forever
And I never wanna see those tears again, no, no
When will you realize that I ain't that tough?
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't ever stop
There's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all we got, it's happiness, it's happiness
Ain't that right? Ain't that right?
And I will have a thousand dreams of how I care for you
Through these careless dreams, look into the future
And I never wanna see those tears again, no, no
When will you realize that you make me breath out?
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't never stop
It's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all we got, it's happiness, happiness
Oh, it's always been you, it's always been you
And I know you got to make it right
Handing out my feelings on these goods are too loud
Oh and it don't matter, yeah I pay my dues
And you know there's one thing that keeps us together
It's gonna keep us together now, now, now, now
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't ever stop
It's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all I got, it's happiness, happiness
doomed from the start
we met with a goodbye kiss, i broke my wrist
it all kicked off, i had no choice
you said that you didn't mind 'cause love's hard to find
maybe the days we had are gone, living in silence for too long
open your eyes and what do you see?
no more laughs, no more photographs
turning slowly, looking back, see
no words, can save this, you're broken and i'm pissed
run along like i'm supposed to, be the man i ought to
rock and roll, sent us insane, i hope someday that we will meet again
running wild
giving it everyone, now that's all done
cause we burnt out, that's what you do
when you have everything, it can't be true
maybe the days we had are gone, living in silence for too long
open you're eyes and what do you see?
the last stand, let go of my hand
turning slowly, looking back, see
no words, can save this, you're broken and i'm pissed
run along like i'm supposed to, be the man i ought to
rock and roll, sent us insane, i hope someday that we will meet again
you go your way and i'll go my way
no words can save us, this lifestyle made us
run along like i'm supposed to, be the man i ought to
Shake me into the night and I’m an easy lover

Oh baby, I was born with a fast fuse
I got no time to love, just a city to abuse
Oh baby, I was born with a fast fuse
I got no time to love, just a city to abuse
Oh, come get me, with your files don't arrest me
I'm Lucifer's child, wild, acids done
Black sunglasses shade the morning sun
So come get me, all you fuckers can't touch me
Well, I'm the hooligan choir, sire, so sit don't scatter
It don't matter get me one, two, three
Gold lighting in the skyline
Gold lighting in the sky
Oh baby, I was born with a fast fuse
I got no time to love, just a city to abuse
Oh baby, I was born with a fast fuse
I got no time to love, just a city to abuse
The vultures circle round
They wait above the ground
How dare you? Now it's time to address you
I'm the reason you came, shame, stroke my mane
See my fist chopping up your reign
It's getting hotter, now I'm spitting out lava
I'm the Spaniard in the works, jerks, genuine stock
Hear that bomb going tick, tick, tock
Gold lighting in the skyline
Gold lighting in the sky
Gold lighting in the skyline
Gold lighting in the sky
Oh baby, I was born with a fast fuse
I got no time to love, just a city to abuse
In the middle of the night when they come for you
Who you going to be? What you gonna do?
Heaven may come and heaven may call but I won't be there
Heaven may come and heaven may call but I won't be there
Heaven may come and heaven may call but I won't be there
Heaven may come and heaven may call but I won't be there
Too much information, well I said, you're good for nothing
Come on to the back, I said, your needless good for something
Guess I'd better sell you now, guess I'll bet I'll be around
Singing for your questions but you've stolen all of my answers
Too much entertainment drove my knights out of their corner
Tell me that you've seen a ghost, I'll tell you what to fear the most
Stop, I said, it's happening again
We're all wasting away
We're all wasting away
Too much information, well I said, you're good for nothing
Stitch your part of counterfeit, I sent you out for hunting
Taking at the roads where you're taken for the simple codes
Swimming with the fishes while the serpent waves his tongue
With a belly full of splinters, now you see that I'm the one
Tell me that you've seen a ghost, I'll tell you what to fear the most
Stop, I said, it's happening again
We're all wasting away
We're all wasting away
Stop, I said, it's happening again
We're all wasting away
We're all wasting away
Stop, I said, it's happening again
We're all wasting away
Hey son
I'm looking forward
You're leaning backwards
Of this I'm sure
Have you had enough?
Are you feeling rough?
Does your skull hurt?
Well if it's warm
Cause I am taking back what's mine
I am taking back the time
You may call it suicide
But I'm being born again
I'm waiting
(Aaah)
I'm waiting
Right here now
I'm waiting
For someone
Or something
To take me
To take me over
Days
Days are forgotten
Now it's all over
Simply forgotten
How to disappear
Home bred
I've got blood lust
Feeding you bread crust
I leave no scar
You say I'm old hat
A f*cking dirty rat
Call me a cliché
How right you are
Cause I am flipping bag of bones
I am righting all your wrongs
You may call it suicide
But I'm being born again
I'm waiting
(Aaah)
I'm waiting
Right here now
I'm waiting
For someone
Or something
To take me
To take me over
Days
Days are forgotten
Now it's all over
Simply forgotten
How to disappear
Days
Days are forgotten
Now it's all over
Simply forgotten
How to disappear
I saw something
Out there on the darkest star
You was at home
Chewing on monkey brains
I am not here
I'm just a silhouette
You will never
Ever ever forget
Days
Days are forgotten
Now it's all over
Simply forgotten
How to disappear
Days
Days are forgotten
Now it's all over
Simply forgotten

But I got these voices that just keep singin out
Sayin..
"I just cant stop losin' control"
"I just cant stop losin' control"
Said that..."I just cant stop losin' control"

Standing with all the whores and cannibals
In the censored race
Singin out..
"I just cant stop losin' control"

Said that...

And she, she romances
Everybody like she can
She, brings the light
It catches me, again
Life, I've seen some wonders

But girl would I be
She knits a snare
Catches me, again
I guess, you know
To keep on, dancin'

Oh, can't you see it girl?
Apnoea

Apnoea
Cotton mouth is bleeding, one way glass deceiving
Dope me up on women and credit cards
Promise X-Ray vision and fancy cars
The tables set for the bourgeois
Better get in line with your dinner tray
Cause when it's all ran out and it's just you left
With the nut job swigging his crystal meth
And there's a constant ring of machinery
Is there a place for me in history?
Sending the boys away, leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away, now it's another day
To shelter from the storm
Sending the boys away, leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away, wishing for new years day
To shelter from the storm
Sons of time are rising, 16 minds exploding
It's the 21st century ain't it cool?
It's taught us how to eat and how to drool
And the wind up merchants are out in force
Telling you my brother to change your course
And you won't be the first to think it's wrong
When all you really want is to band a gong
Cause it's all sawn up in our misery
Is there a place for me in the history?
Sending the boys away, leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away, now it's another day
To shelter from the storm
Sending the boys away, leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away, wishing for new years day
To shelter from the storm
We gotta break down the doors and shelter from the storm
We gotta break down the doors and shelter from the storm
We gotta break down the doors and shelter from the storm
We gotta break down the doors and shelter from the storm
Sending the boys away, leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away, now it's another day

Feeling I am lost
Control to a higher force
Music is my, my love
One, take control of me?
You're messing with the enemy
Said it's two, it's another trick
Messin' with my mind, I wake up
Chase down an empty street
Blindly snap the broken beats
Said it's gone with the dirty trick
It's taken all these days to find you
I tell you, I want you
I tell you, I need you
Friends, take control of me
Stalking cross the gallery
All these pills got to operate

There it goes again
Take me to the edge again
All I got is a dirty trick
I'm chasin' down all walls to save you
I tell you, I want you

There we were thick as thieves
Frightened by shadows and the autumn leaves
We wore stolen hats, fitted soles
Aided by lies amongst the media foes
And hey oh, where did it go?
When did we lose our sight?
And it's a nice show, the ones we perform
Performing it day and night, night
See the lights upon my face
Walking in circles with the human race
And all the little people they want to be free
But I can't get there 'cause I've got you holding me back
And hey oh, where did it go?
When did we lose our sight?
And it's a nice show, the ones we perform
Performing it day and night, night
Let me be free
Gave you all the high skies but you gave me night
I gave you all the high skies but you gave me night
I gave you all the high skies but you gave me night
I gave you all the high skies but you gave me night
Let the lights sing again
There we were thick as thieves
Frightened by shadows and the autumn leaves
Goodbye my sweet, goodbye, goodbye
Street swimming lonely
Light the fires
You corner dogs
I saw the magic
I saw the fool
This ones for the workers
For his pay for his face
Did that for the one
The simplest lies
Take care my friends
Run my life for this magician
Street swimming lonely
Light the fires
You corner dogs
I see the magic
I see the fool
The Nightworkers
They never know
They never know
They never know I'm here
Take care my friends
Live my life for the big magician
I wont stop
I want to sail the sea
I wont stop
Standin' here on this burnin' bridge
I'm tryin' to figure out, but there?s nothin' here
Seem like they got the fear
Cattle grids, rattle gold chains, pay it back
Just cancel the chickens
And tell your son that he should steal the gold
The kings send their knights
Check these soul satellites
Test transmission is callin' me back home
The kings send their knights
Check these soul satellites
Test transmission is callin' me back home
Too messed up to perform this
Can't you see, I'll only miss you now, your memories, yeah
[Incomprehensible] get washed to the seas
Feedin' tape through the fabric must tune in
Unless you?re trapped tomorrow
And get out the sun, get out before it gets you back
The kings send their knights
Check these soul satellites
Test transmission is callin' me back home
The kings send their knights
Check these soul satellites
Test transmission is callin' me back home
And I feel just alive,[Incomprehensible] a change
Feel [Incomprehensible] is gonna get you again
[Incomprehensible] sun is comin' back again
And I feel just alive, [Incomprehensible] a change
Feel [Incomprehensible] is gonna get you again
Switchblade smiles
They go on for miles
And will be forever
Now we stand together
Theres no denials
Much Too Soon
For the wooden spoon
Can you Hear the knocking
Now Your Feet Are Stomping
Around the Room
[Oooooooooh (x2)]
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Switch Blade Smiles
They go on for miles
And will be forever
Now we stand together
and fill the Aisles
Much Too Soon
For the wooden spoon
Can you Hear the knocking
Now Your Feet Are Stomping
Around the Room
No Way back
From a Shark Attack
See The Eyes Rollover
From Behind your Shoulder
And Fade To Black
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
No map, lookin' for the one I love
'Cause the one I love is here
No map, lookin' for the one who stands
'Cause he's armin' me from fear
He got tuned in, so
Through the other side
Lives spent diggin' holes, so
Through the ones that hide
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
More cuts taken for the one in silence
Now he sits between my ears
His moves in madness, how I love the rush
Could you wipe away these tears
And we got taken by
A rush of blood
My trains leaving now
How I wish I could
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
I'm a stuntman
See the white eyes
As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway
[Musitron solo]
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway
I sit and wait for you cause' this was never over
I hear the talk in codes
If you want me then come get me
You want me so come get me
I'm standing with my allies
Sellin' arms to strangers
Watch them shoot ya down
There aint nothin' I will say to you
But I know your eyes are fearin'
I watch as you creep by
I'll find my way, wont let go
I'll find my way, wont let go
I'm standing with my allies
Sellin' guns to strangers
Velocoraptor,
He's gunna find ya
He's gunna kill ya,
He's gunna eat ya,
There on the out skirts of his kingdom
So keep your head down
Kill me if you dare, hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the underdog, live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train
Love in Technicolor sprayed out on walls
Well, I've been pounding at the pavement till there's nothing at all
I got my cloak and dagger in a bar room brawl
See the local loves a fighter, loves a winner to fall
Feels like I'm lost in a moment
I'm always losing to win
Can't get away from the moment
Seems like it's time to begin
Kill me if you dare, hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the underdog, live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train
It don't matter, I won't do what you say
You've got the money and the power, I won't go your way
I can't take from the people, they don't matter at all
I'll be waiting in the shadows till the day that you fall
Feels like I'm lost in a moment
I'm always losing to win
Can't get away from the moment
Seems like it's time to begin
Kill me if you dare, hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the underdog, live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train
Tell me if you're down, throw your weapons to the ground
Keep myself right on this train
Hey bird you're on the wire, sold yourself for another one
Keep myself riding on this train
[spoken]
Then I went down into the basement
where my friend the maniac busy's himself with his
electronic grafiti
Finally his language touches me
because he talks to the part of us
which insists on drawing profiles on prison walls.
In that moment poetry will be made by everyone
and there will be emu's in the zone...
Mist covers the ground
In the city
Engine rumbles quiet
As we drift by
I wish you could see it
Through my crooked eye
Oh your beauty
Plays me just like a guitar string (it's so true)
I want your touch
Oh how I want you far too much
She my baby
He's my baby
Ahhhhh [x8]
Days drift into one
It's so pretty
Travelling Wilbury's, Polly's photofits
And this stolen car
Is loaded with junk
It's so dirty
He'll be the death of me
But that's ok
I want your touch
Oh how I want you far too much
She my baby
He's my baby
Out of my garden, passed the battle cruiser
We jumped over cemetery gates
There on the wasteland, we saw the horizon
I noticed your pupils dilate
They're at it again, let's roll just like we used to
In fields when we were young our hearts got lost in the circles
We had it all, a rise and fall
Came from the booze and the fags generation
And prayed for the mayhem to start
You said you were foolish but I saw the genius
In pulling the stitches apart
They're at it again, let's roll just like we used to
In fields when we were young our hearts got lost in the circles
We had it all, a rise and fall
So raise your glass to the ones who have passed
And the ones that got away, ohh
They're at it again, let's roll just like we used to
In fields when we were young our hearts got lost in the circles
We had it all, a rise and fall
I tell you something isn't right
The way i'm feeling kept me up all night
I fix myself another drink
I guess that's crazy i need time to think
And all the good ones got away
All the good ones gone to waste
And I take another hit
And do I really get my joy stealing?
All the TV's hypnotised
All the loonies on the rise
And oh man what I got to tell you
Tonight Ladies and Gentlemen
I roll the dice
Just gimmie that dice
It's been so hard working for no one
I roll the dice
Just gimmie the dice
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Wakey wakey rise and shine
Put down your souvenirs I think it's time
We've been dead behind the eyes
Switching stations as our country dies
No matter what you do, you know
The world it keeps on turning
We never feel a thing
Come on and meet me at the Carnival
Tonight Ladies and Gentlemen
I roll the dice
Just gimmie that dice
It's been so hard working for no one
I roll the dice
Just gimmie that dice
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
No matter what you do, you know
The world it keeps on turning
John was a scientist, he was hooked on LSD
Interested in mind control and how the monkey held the key
Said that all life is experiments somebody's planning for the heir
It's for the unexpecting citizens who hallucinate in fear.
Sing that.
Chew the backbone, A solar system, these clever convicts
In union station, with a package in his hand
Tied to the suspect, he chanced him where he stand
And i dont think you realise he's coming for your neck
And the sound is breaking all around
He's keeping lives in check
Chew the backbone, a solar system, these clever convicts
Making his getaway threw a punched out mirror
He blend into the crowd, hear the system scream
And all those spies that strikes you here
are clinging to their guns
And if you smell those omens man, i think you better run.
Checkout.
Chew the backbone, a solar system, these clever convicts.
Chew the backbone, a solar system, these clever convicts.
Somebody hold their hands out
Coz my mind has gone
I'm walking through all the debris
Coz my kite have gone
You can't get through
Prop up your eggs and bacon
With your silver spoon
I saw you play Old Medusa
In the dungeon room
You can't get through
You've! Got it! On the brain!
Go pop your cherry down Grope Cunny Lane
Crabs! Shatter! King of Spain!
You'll lose your mind down at Grope Cunny Lane
Go get the local doctor
And lets have some fun
I hope I avoid the papers
On the prison run
Can I watch you?
Rank! Mother! City boy!
Don't sit around and jumping for joy
Brother! T-shirt! King of Spain!
Do we have any punks in the house?
Yeah?
This next track's called 55
I was classic amused
I've been abused by the organ
I didn't know where to turn
So I see that round at their hearts
And pull me down my old friend
Cause I have lost my way
I stole the seats like a rack
Sequenced by the attack
Showed me the classes
You bring your blood cells down
I'll rip the new problem
The hearts sings around
And pull me down my old friend
Cause I have lost my way
I breathe still like a broad smile
And empires walk away
Do I hear no time to run
Seeing fire our death will come
Do I hear no time to run
Seeing fire our death will come
Do I hear no time to run
Seeing fire my life here all by myself
Shut up
Now this is just the beginning
Always knew I'd be quitting
It'll be your skies
(repeat)
Now this is just the beginning
(repeat)
Always knew I'd be quitting
Silence in the yard
Doberman's asleep
You never have to lay your head down here
Watch them disappear
The truth is they never had no future
They never had no past
I was alone
I was alone again
This beat on London's sky
Whiskey's almost dry
I smile 'cause I've already escaped
Just like to see how far I can take it
They never had no future
They never had no past
I was alone
I was alone again
They never had no future
They never had no past
I was alone
I was alone again
Silence in the yard
Doberman's asleep
You never have to lay your head down here
I ran from the tide
won't let you hide
won't let you hide
I drop beats from this processed meat
for a conversation
a meditation and
I cut waves like some unborn sage
just like terrorists on a day of rest singin
I ran from the tide
won't let you hide
won't let you hide
I break bones stealin mobile phones
and I'm cuttin deals for these homeless meals
makin idle threats using chinese burns
as you load my head with the grateful dead singin
I ran from the tide
won't let you hide
won't let you hide
I ran from the tide
won't let you hide
won't let you hide
I ran from the tide
won't let you hide
won't let you hide
I ran from the tide
won't let you hide
Never took a punch in the ribcage, sonny
Never met a soul who had no shrine
Keep this all in your mind and get it inside my window
What do we become trying to kill each other?
You're faking it son, gonna get you tonight
I suck another breath to the hearts of the revolution
Because you still ain't right
Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
(I bet you can't see it)
Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
(I bet you can't see it)
Can't see the signs of a real change a comin'?
Take another sip from your hobo's wine
Get yourself a million miles from the concrete jungle
This is a time full of fear, full of anger
A hero's exchange for a telephone line
Whatever happened to the youth of this generation
Because it still ain't right
Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
(I bet you can't see it)
Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why, oh why
The rivers of the pavement are flowing now with blood
The children of the future are drowning in the flood
Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why, oh why
In this social chaos there's violence in the air
Gotta keep your wits about you, be careful not to stare
Where did all the love go?
I don't know, I don't know
(I bet you can't see it)
Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why, oh why
Face check, I walk this beach
I'm frying in the heat
In the cauldron stir me
Chomp down my diamond teeth I ain't got
The simple things in life I feel like
You have got to witness
This is your last retreat, my last repeat
All my friends are as sharp as razors
Cut you down if you touch the faders
High class girls hung in elevators
Now we have got the floor
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
You can't miss me, I'm still alive
Snake skin shoes, I'm pleading homicide
Come on and feel this, I'm still alive
Joker meet you on the other side
Banshie, I hear you call
We need to raise the dead
We need to raise the people
Cut throat, this blood runs thick
It is true the simple things in life have been lost
You have got to witness
We are the last beatniks, the lost heretics
All my friends are as sharp as razors
Cut you down if you touch the faders
Listen up all you masqueraders
Now we have got the floor
Now we have got the floor
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
You can't miss me, I'm still alive
Snake skin shoes, I'm pleading homicide
Come on and feel this, I'm still alive
Joker meet you on the other side
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose
Get loose, get loose

You done too much much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me
You done too much much too young
Now you're married with a son
When you should be having fun with me
Ain't he cute no he ain't
Just another burden on the welfare state
You done too much much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me
Call me immature call me a poser
I'll to spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't we wanna be rich
Don't we wanna be famous
But I'd really hate to have the same name as you
You done too much much too young
Now you're married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me
You done too much much too young
Now you're chained to the kitchen
Making currant buns for tea
Ain't you heard of the starving millions
Ain't you heard of contraception
Do you really wanna go with the sterilisation
Take control of the population boom
It's in your living room
Keep a generation gap
If I could escape I would but first of all, let me say
I must apologize for acting stank and treating you this
Cause I've been acting like your milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?
If I could escape and recreate a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite boy forever, perfectly
together
Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet?
If I could be sweet, I know I've been a real bad boy
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
We can make it better
Tell me girl now wouldn't that be sweet?
(I want to get away to our sweet escape)
(I want to get away, yeah)
You held me down, I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint
Come on let's bounce, counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around, let's look for some common
ground
So baby, times get a little crazy
I've been getting a little lazy waiting on you to come
save me
I can see that your angry by the way that you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me, wanna take you with me
If I could escape and recreate a place that's my own
world
And I could be your favorite boy forever, perfectly
together
And tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet?
If I could be sweet I know I've been a real bad boy
I didn't mean for you to get hurt, whatsoever
We can make it better and tell me girl now wouldn't
that be sweet?
If I could escape, if I could escape
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?
If I could escape and recreate a place that's my own
world
And I could be your favorite boy forever, perfectly
together
And tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet
If I could be sweet, I know I've been a real bad boy
I didn't mean for you to get hurt, whatsoever
We can make it better
I want to get away to our sweet escape
I want to get away, yeah
Soon keep a little chance
Knowing there's something
Gonna let you hide
Soon wanna keep my eyes
They're so unsocial
They sell our souls
Soon keep a little chance
Knowing there's something
Gonna let you hide
Soon wanna keep my eyes
They're so unsocial
They sell our souls
Soon keep a little chance
Knowing there's something
Gonna let you hide
Soon wanna keep my eyes
They're so unsocial
Nightmares, oh nightmares come on now
Getting my days all wrong now
Risen from prison an outlaw
Spending our time in the lion's jaw
In the end you sink or swim, I'm eager, I'm eager
Loving, more loving, come on now
Socially biting your tongue now
Run down, oh run down old houses
Feeding the cats to the mouses
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Gotta get us out of here
Drop them and give them star prizes
Lock them away in high rises
Held off and called on by truncheons
Rattling keys to the dungeons
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Gotta get us out of here
Don't take me over
I bid you all farewell, I've got to leave
Tears on my shovel
Switch me off today
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Gotta get us out of here
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Gotta get us out of here
Don't take me over
I bid you all farewell, I've got to leave
Sun rise light flies
Sun rise light flies
Sun rise light flies
Sun rise light flies
Sweet Sunday morning
Lets the nightmares come alive
I bet tomorrow makes it alright
I see my lovers
Flash before me on their knees
She tip the velvet, makes it alright
Sun rise light flies
Sun rise light flies
Sun rise light flies
Sun rise light flies
Sweet Sunday morning
Shake the lizards from my back
I chase the devil just for one night
And I light the paper
For all the friends who passed away
To all existence show me your light
Sun rise light flies
Sun rise light flies
Sun rise light flies
Shoot the runner, shoot, shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen
Shoot the runner, shoot, shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen
Dream, dream again in your way
Always knew that you would
Lose yourself to the scene
Am I only a dream
Shoot the runner, shoot, shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen, bitch
Bang, bang away on my chain
(My chain)
Always know that I can
Get your ass to the floor
Absinthe make you a whore
Shoot the runner, shoot, shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen
Shoot the runner, shoot, shoot the runner
I'm the king and she's my queen, bitch
There's, there's no cover in here
Having sex in the snow
All things gone with the past
Lose your taste like the rest
And you're my queen, that's it
Shoot shoot the runner
This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains climb into your eye
Nobody's hurting and nobody's lying
They climb into your eye never to die
They say the man, he used to sail on his journey
And laid a trap so much the pilgrims for their money
He placed his gold all over this world
And in morning as he looked out over Cairo
He makes his process and his smoked them in a barroom
He could not die and we never found out why
This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains climb into your eye
Nobody's hurting and nobody's lying
They climb into your eye never to die
This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains climb into your eye
Nobody's hurting and nobody's crying
They climb into your eye never to die
No one's getting older
Everybody's feeling young
Journey's almost over now
There's hope for everyone
This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains close
(This is the end of time)
This is the end of the tracks
Where the fountains close
Making my snacks at the Road Kill Cafe
Combing my hair with skeleton bone
Cover my shoes and they taste like honey
Cover my scent to the spider and the fly
Cover my scent coz spider don't try
Living by the rhythm at the Road Kill Cafe
You can run for President straighten up your tie
Open your mind, it'll make you happy
Polish of your booze with potatoes and a pie
A jackknife rabbit just swoop me in the eye
I just want to spend time with you
I just want to spend all my time with you
And if I want you to fight I'll leave
I just wanna see you, I like seeing you
Calling all the freaks to the Road Kill Cafe
You can leave be your babies with your rides by the door
Look at your suit man you dress so snappy
Sharpen your machete on a hoodoo drum
Feeding your spaghetti through the barrel of a gun
Feeding your spaghetti through the barrel of a gun
Calling all the freaks to the Road Kill Cafe
Calling all the freaks to the Road Kill Cafe
Calling all the freaks to the Road Kill Cafe

I feel like the time has come
A fearless rescue from everyone
Who made you the master?
The lady caster, I found you looking for a good time
I was out in exile perfecting my style
I knew you wanted a reaction
Hit me! Harder! I'm getting re-wired
I flip the switch that make you feel electric
Even! Faster! Than before
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
Try to keep up, you scatter brain
She will enter through your vein
Who was your creator?
The one who made you, the flame I need to heat the silver
You'd bring Gods to their knees pick out the bad seeds
Relieve the generals of theirs duties
Hit me! Harder! I'm getting re-wired
I flip the switch that make you feel electric
Even! Faster! Than before
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
Who made you the master?
The Lady caster, I found you looking for a good time
Now this blood and glitter, it tastes so bitter
There's no retreat for I surrender
Hit me! Harder! I'm getting re-wired
I flip the switch that make you feel electric
Even! Faster! Than before
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
