Start, start to be prepared
Just believe, forget what you have heard
No need to be full of scorn
There's a new world to be born
Loop your thoughts
Leave your line of approach
Don't become, oblivious to the fact
There's no need to be full of scorn
There's a new world to be born
Can you feel it, cause I feel it
Can you feel it, cause I feel it
You call it trash we call it rock'n'roll
You call it trash we call it rock'n'roll
You call it trash we call it rock'n'roll
You call it trash we call it rock'n'roll
I feel like I am not the only one
Who believes that something will be going on
I feel like I am not the only one
Who feels like everybody's out there
You call it trash we call it rock'n'roll
You call it trash we call it rock'n'roll
You call it trash we call it rock'n'roll
You call it trash we call it rock'n'roll
Could you stay, for a while
just as long for me to say
We grew old, yet unknown
are the days still to come
Could we ask for more
feelings to explore
When it's dark outside and the feeling's right
But too soon, comes the time
when I've had enough
feel like giving up
Yeah, together we'll try it
together again
Yeah, just you and me
Yeah, together we'll try it
together again
Yeah, just you and me
I will concentrate
and evaluate
Every step I take, promises I'll break
But too soon, comes the time
When the odds once fair
seem to disappear
Yeah, together we'll try it
together again
Yeah, just you and me
Yeah, together we'll try it
together again
Yeah, just you and me
Yeah, together we'll try it
together again
Yeah, just you and me
Yeah, together we'll try it
together again
Yeah, just you and me
I met with you, in a crowded place
To show you off, the look on your face
But no one stared, straight across the room
It, could, have, been, me
You keep on looking away, You keep on looking away
You keep on looking away, and leave with nothing to say
You leave with nothing to say
Tease me now, everything's gonna work
I've got no pride to lose
I've got no soul left in me
Do you have anything left for me
This time I've gone to far
and it lasts forever
I met with you, sunday in the park
To show you off, but it was too dark
No one stared, straight across the lawn
It, could, have, been, me
You keep on looking away, You keep on looking away
You keep on looking away, and leave with nothing to say
You leave with nothing to say
Tease me now, everything's gonna work
I've got no pride to lose
I've got no soul left in me
Do you have anything left for me
This time I've gone to far
and it lasts forever
Tease me now, everything's gonna work
I've got no pride to lose
I've got no soul left in me
Do you have anything left for me
This time I've gone to far
and it lasts forever
This is the time
the time to realize
To fight the state
the state you're living in
the state you're living in
But your heart is racing, and you know
that your mind is facing
all the odysseys that you tried to leave behind
Soon I will find you,
my little galaxy
Soon I will find you,
my little galaxy
Please, please leave a trail to trace
So I can get to your place
But your heart is racing, and you know
that your mind is facing
all the odysseys that you tried to leave behind
Soon I will find you,
my little galaxy
Soon I will find you,
my little galaxy
Soon I will find you,
my little galaxy
Soon I will find you,
my little galaxy
You're looking for something perfect to last
but there's no description of what you could ask for
you're torn in, torn inside out
Questions there are no answers for
a moment of laughter you know there is more
but you're torn in, torn inside out
You cannot try, to admit to a lie
a lie that you've been
living all those years, all those years
You could be a wonder
you could be someone, special to someone
all that you need is
right here to make it, right here to take it
all that you need is, all that you have
The passions is gone can you retain it again
you've mastered too many ways to pretend
that you're torn in, torn inside out
You cannot try, to admit to a lie
a lie that you've been
living all those years, all those years
You could be a wonder
you could be someone, special to someone
all that you need is
right here to make it, right here to take it
all that you need is, all that you have
You could be a wonder
you could be someone, special to someone
all that you need is
right here to make it, right here to take it
all that you need is, all that you have
I think it's time for me to slowly face the fact
That most things aren't what they seem to be
It's easy to walk along a line already drawn
And not to question anything you see
The people want to tell me that it's all just fine
They want me to believe it's meant to be
A standard phrase that seems to fit to anything
Did you ever see them, did you ever see them
I just don't believe, what they seem to be
What they're telling me
'Cause to me it's all just an endless fall
that makes, makes me wanna scream
Sometimes I go along with a smile on my face
Although I know it won't last very long
I turn around and simply walk the other way
Did you ever see them, did you ever see them
I just don't believe, what they seem to be
What they're telling me
'Cause to me it's all just an endless fall
The day is dark
The night is bright
My skin is light
Your hair is bright
It makes the day go by so fast
It makes the night seem like a day
Another day
Another time
Another place
Some other's face
My hands are shaking
My breath is cold
I see sometimes
It's been a long time...
I'm at the end
I've broken the trend
of being alone,
of hiding the phone
It makes the day go by so fast
It makes the night seem like a day
On my memory
All that means a thing to me
Feel as climatised
Feel the grey from eyes to mind
In a time where time has died
Only winter shapes my mind
In the future's light and call
Shots will find me on a wall
THE WAY IT HAS TURNED OUT
Mistakes, chances i never tookAre creeping up to me right nowThen i wish i could go back in timeAnd rearrange things somehow
I would be an astronaut, a president, piano-playerIn a rund down hotel barI would be an astronaut, a president, a pilot-manA poet or a football star
If things hadn't turned out the way
they have to do this dayI would miss the guy at the barThat i just talked to yesterday
Drawn to a distance
Venetian light stripes the room
Faded by highball perfume
The rehearsed night standing queued
Lights flicker like scales across the water
I know every corridor and row
What difference would different streets make?
I change the setting, I'll change nothing
I will absorb the rain the same way
Where I once had
The most elegant contempt
The language of angry young men
Rarely translates with age
Late weeknight
Restaurant dwelling
Staring blankly
Slow panic sets in
Let's plan a robbery
Even if just to plan
That might change our lives
We're the rut of suburban housewives
Rain on the outside, quiet inside
Even if just to plan
Then in the air, consume despair
Then in the air, consume alcohol
Then at the gate, customs wonder
Why in this state, someone comes here
Nothing Felt
Anyone
Then on the road, drive wrong way
Then to a clerk, bread knife paid
To city park, bleed through the sleeve
Then on park bench, rain drenched as a shield
New Night
Sullen eyes sink, face to ash
As the head falls to shoulder
As his head falls to shoulder
As her head falls to shoulder
Anyone for Anyone
And the shame of it
That we can't forget
We've lived this one before
The filmic curse
Of life under networks
Not doomful, just idle
Inhibitions are such pleasant sounds
You should still Molotov the lounge
Wax the curb paraffin
Nitris whip, it's bashed in
Paint this, paint this city
Scripted ambitions can be screened
And the shame of it
That we can't forget
We've lived this one before
Window watcher pains
Elevator doors
The sincere life story
The filmic curse
Of life under networks
I was lost in the deep and darkest night
No direction, not a single hope in sight
When I saw a fire burning brightly through
The storm that raged above
In the shadows of your warm and tender love
I was a stranger to the land of life around
In constant danger being hurt by what I found
And of hurting what I treasured most
Foolish eagle never dove
'Till I fell upon your warm and tender love
In the shadows of your warm and tender love
Now I gaze in peace at the lonely sky
That is raging high above
Safe in the shadows of your warm and tender, tender love
You always want things to understand
without stress without demand
association over intensity
and easiness before obscurity
there's more to me than you'll ever know
there's more to me than i'll ever show, ever show
my love, not yours
what makes you think you can compare
being sad to being sad
happiness to happiness
why do you think my love is just like yours
do you add more weight to the words i say
it doesn't matter that much anyway
there's more to me than you'll ever know
there's more to me than i'll ever show, ever show
my love, not yours
what makes you think you can compare
being sad to being sad
happiness to happiness
You're an effort without success, keep on
you're a play that's in recess, keep on
you can't follow what they discuss, keep on
you're reluctant to cause yourself stress, keep on
hold on to,
the things that you think that are real
you're days are like revolving doors, and you always end up on the outside
in unison and rebel like manner
you go steady without looking back
you're driven into dependency on things you can't control
don't change the course just keep on, keep on
regards to whom it won't concern
smiles for those who won't return
patches where there's nothing torn
but if it feels right it is they who are wrong
there's something stale in your life
but you're not quite sure what it is
a recollected fear, a paralysing thought
of just what it means and what it could
and they would talk behind your back
it never turns out to be true,
never changes my mind about you
just keep on, keep on, to make sense or just confuse
Took too much medicine in Shanghai
Slept through the capture of Saddam
Dice and eyes dice by drunk candlelight
Thriving on the other side of the dateline
This will only be the once...
This is where the moment gained the meaning
Doing the Paris thing with text messaging
Henghan Lu may be my last move
Time zones briefly heal all wounds
I always feel first for the ground
But these towers make another case
And now I can't separate from this
I always feel first for the ground
But these towers make another sound
And now I can't step away from this
So many walks back home
All the crashing reflection
Life: relive a few high nights
Goodbye from a few miles away
For the last time
“the last time of today”
Each year is more a murder
Walking sideways into something new
This suspicion stems from point of view
No ties, no touching
No ties, only touching
A force of habit and a clear path home
Breaking routing to pass to chase a blurred unknown
No ties, no touching
No ties, only touching
It was the same as before when I went through the door
And I tried not to
Give in to the ordinary undecided path
Walking without decided state of mind
Breaking the method of secure design
No ties, no touching
No ties, only touching
It was same as before when I went through the door
And I tried not to
Give in to the ordinary undecided path
It went from new to hold in a moment lost
That you held on to
It’s a scary thing to let go of it but try…
I've just had a massive overdose of communication
my head feels like a basketball inflated with too much air
this whole day was too much input for me to take
it feels like i've been dreaming but i've been wide awake
but i'm still waiting for something to happen
i'm still waiting for something to appear
i just got back from the club downtown
i had a few drinks with my friends and we just sat around
we sit and talk and smoke and drink,
and stare at people walking by with drinks in their hands
we strike up conversations although the music's too damn loud to understand
that i'm still waiting for something to happen
i'm still waiting for something to appear
and if i need sometime to be alone don't get mad at me
i would be a lonely person if i couldn't spend time with myself
i know i'll be out tomorrow waiting for some new inspiration
Filling in anomic spaces to first light
tremble and centre
The dimly lit bliss between us
Building new myths in our mind
There's just not enough music to collect all this feeling...so closer to everything
The discovery we needed draw your breath
Hold it for longer
This is the part of life
So separate from the rest
Because no matter how long it feels
Weather will always grow warmer
Feelings calmer
Breathing shorter
All you have to do
Is undo what you do
Text is camouflage for pretending not to pretend
Hiding inside, hiding away
Behind a chrome window
Pretending not to pretend a lot these days
Pretended not to pretend about yesterday
Pretending not to pretend a lot today
Wasting my time and the pain makes it easier
Out every night with the emptiness inside
You have gone home and you took every piece of me
I close my eyes I think I saw it in your face
Falling too deep
Yeah Yeah falling too deep
But I don't wanna feel this way
A Day to repeat a day to live over and over again
Day to repeat a day to live over and over again
Constant Delay still the pain makes it easier
Pattern repeats but I will break it up this time
I'll be so far away yet closer than I've ever been
Eyes open wide and now I see it in your face
Falling too deep
Yeah Yeah falling too deep
But I don't wanna feel this way
A Day to repeat a day to live over and over again
Day to repeat A day to live over and over again
Falling too deep
Yeah yeah falling too deep
I've waited for this moment not to fade
A Day to repeat a day to live over and over again
Day to repeat a day to live over and over again
A Day to repeat a day to live over and over again
This empty tract of memory
Boxed by routine, marketing markmaking
Ortona no longer by distance
Simulated out of existence
Ortona no longer
Maybe reared on watered down proxy
The only way one could look back fondly
Ortona no longer by distance
Simulated out of existence
I've had them "these are experiences of a kind"
But what the rest of my life
I muzzle the spiritual should head out to sea
Muzzle responsibility and drift south to sea
Age makes me us urgent
Untranquillized by
A personal area network
Rest assured
you'll be one of us so soon
Rest assured,
you will understand so well
It will happen when you think
you have found it again
Don't you know that this is the day
to look back on
as the day we killed love, a day
to look back on
as the day we killed love and pain.
Rest assured
you'll be one of us so soon
Rest assured,
you will understand so well
It will happen when you think
you have found it again
Don't you know that this is the day
to look back on
as the day we killed love, a day
to look back on
as the day we killed love and pain.
Rest assured
you'll be one of us so soon
Rest assured,
you will understand so well
Don't you know that this is the day
to look back on
as the day we killed love, a day
to look back on
as the day we killed love a day,
to look back on
as the day we killed love, a day
to look back on

And knew that singing songs would get me this far

[Chorus]
When I grow up

THE WORST IS YET TO COME
They say they want to help usBut all they do is tempt usThey say they have consciousBut all they do is promise
My friend you're not the only oneWho thinks the worst is yet to comeThey say they know and feel your painAnd we have their permission to complain
FRIDAY NIGHT
Come on quick we still have timeTo lose ourselves in our state of mindLet's get to this place where we don't stand all aloneWhere the music's loud and we've got something to do
Some say people revolveStuck on a carrousel-ride while trying to get offI'm only leaving this place when i'll be there aloneWhen the music's out and i've got nowhere to go
But something always happens hereWhere the music suits my interestsI had my share of joy and laughterI always feel at home
Come on quick we still have timeTo lose ourselves in our state of mindLet's try and find out just how far we can goWith no consience for excessive overload
Some say people revolveStuck on a carrousel-ride while trying to get offWell maybe that's me and i am just like the restBut i don't want to admit it ´cause i just get depressed
LATE-ARRIVER
I'm a late-arriver, bored, lazy and doomedI could easily sleep through the whole afternoonI use my time the way i think is rightAnd i don't care what they say
So tell me, why can't we seem to live our livesLike we would want us toI know that we could doWhat we wanted to
If I'd really care about what people would sayI would have changed yesterdayI like my lifestyle just as it isIt's too late for me anyway
So tell me, why can't we seem to live our livesLike we would want us toI know that we could doWhat we wanted to
NO DEADLINE
Something made me come here after allIn retrospect i do admit to have certain flawsMaybe i'm just repeating what everybody else is saying, but that doesn't make it less truefor me it's still the same, the philosophies don't changejust because you doi'm the part of you that you try to suppressnever to surface in your consciousnessi just exist to show others how not to live
Well i think you know the feeling trying to get out of bed
Got a bottle beside me six aspirins in my head
Well it's been like this ever since last thursday night
Seven days gone by and nothing went right
It's been one of those days all week long
A fraction of my personality wants to split
I walk around from room to room but nothing seems to fit
Too many colours on tv ten aspirins in my head
So i go get my covers and slip into bed
SATURDAY MORNING
SATURDAY MORNING
SELFDESTRUCTIVE TODAY
Well i think it might be time againTo see if i can still take the abuseLaziness is what is killing me'cause now i have the time to fill the holesBut i feel no sadnessIn this grown up world i feel self-destructive today
Yes today is the day for something newTo see things i never saw beforeBut i feel there's nothing left for meAnd it's me that will self-destruct again, and againcause i feel no sadnessIn this grown up world i feel self-destructive today
SUPERFICIAL
I took some time walked around
and discovered something odd
All of my friends have grown up
had a kid or got a dog
There seems to be only me
and a few of us still left
Trying not to lose what we have
but what have we really got
Time to change, for me it's now ever
I am not a rebel, nor am I a devil
Baby, gimme confidence
Yeah I'm really trying do you think I'm lying
I need a kick to survive
I am not a rebel, nor am I a devil
Baby, gimme confidence
Yeah I'm really trying do you think I'm lying
I need a kick to survive
Is this the time to resign
from the plan to rule the world
Days passing by in a haze
leave me feeling like I should
Change for good, for me it's now or never
I am not a rebel, nor am I a devil
Baby, gimme confidence
Yeah I'm really trying do you think I'm lying
I need a kick to survive
I am not a rebel, nor am I a devil
Baby, gimme confidence
Yeah I'm really trying do you think I'm lying
How corny it was
When they all came to town
In need of a social commitment
A place to stay
That's when I turned around
My feet barely on the ground
I closed my eyes
Imagine us there
Together with the sun against us
I need some interaction
Some conversation
Then she came and fed me up with negative noises
That's when I turned around
My feet both on the ground
I close my eyes imagine us there
A chill falls inside
Lamp decaying light
View from incomplete park
More windows than stars
A layer concrete
To step isolate
The state of my mind
Bordered by power lines
See it glow into myself
See it now
It looks like it's gone
"Everyday it's all the same" i said
Because it's not the one, it's two
Is it gross to assume i will be tall
But i'm going deaf
and i must have misunderstood
It looks to me like she might lie to impress me
But she doesn't care and she lies about her past
I can see it now...
Yesterday i said i didn't care
But i've had enough
and i've had all of my fun
Because it's not the one, it's two
Because it's not the one, that i want
Barton's in the hall
New York was in the clouds
Sepia attack
Write the play, insomniac
Johnny, let it go
There's nothing here to see
Stand black clad among depraved
Smoke a fag and stay awake
Barton cries in bed
On truth, he depends
Johnny hits his head
Don't wait for the world's end
Travis, calm your heart
Because no one ever loves
Disregard what's on the streets
Load the guns, avoid sleep
Culture isn't sick
Just so boring
Stay awake to think
Erase the useless things
Dying by the fire
A century at wit's end
Fall upon a blade
The Lamplighters are dead again
Culture isn't sick, so dull
Just so dulling
Take sleepless icons
We would walk through the street light
Era anexact the cars that pass
We would reap what we'd see
We would see what we'd believe
Never feel the time
We would walk the street light
Of the anexact cars that pass
We would reap what we'd feel
We would see what we'd believe
Fissured world
Disconnected west
Light through glass
Utopian 3rd gen
From touch to type
To auto-send later
Won't settle things
Conflict might level first
Fissure mine
Disconnected self
More terabytes
Won't round me out
The light through glass
Won't light away displace
The light will pass
Scrape the pavement dry of life
Downtown flavour course interac
The will that flow that overcome
Would kill on a whim, broken where I stand
I will cut you underneath the skin
Then you'll surround me
More machine than ever
Elevator; sick on this year
The hunters skulking tonight
A menace through the cross streets
Under wirewebs in three's and four's
Armed with their best clothes
Rage misplacers
Making a pitch for your night
Flat lives drive to step to
To step to everything
Searching for something raw
Cell phone salesmen-types, act the toughest hype
SUV's like Bradley's
Someone send them all to Sadr City...it won't be long
A GDP empire leads
To Saturday hunting
Democracy is fading on me
This just might fail after all
From the Southern hemisphere
The resentment is coming in clear
Understand where that's coming from
Rows of monochromatic screens
Glow over check-in counter sleep
The din of machines leaves a trace
From vacuums ridden though the gates
In the hours before the flight
With arrivals will come the dawn
Exit a conscience in the night
From the kid he didn't want
I heard my days were in the yellow leaf
I know my days have not achieved what I've seen
Or what I've heard
The greatness that has been
Taking speed in Germany
Finding meaning in a redlight, lowlife bar
As the country split apart
All around the streets all night
I feel my head undone
Smoke rises past my eyes
I've learned to hate the sun
All down the engine rev
Sometimes in the dark
Glass rises to my mouth
Will to be ripped apart
Or I'd die
Or I'd die
(Midnight my life rewinds) Where did I slip on the path
to this Dissolving in retail time Reality is if I left
this place They're be even less to my days Where did I
slip on the path to this Year in a jewelry store I never
I feel so light inside
Caught in the early fall
My advice for a tolerable life
Take this world and describe
The shorthand of recluse writers
And their passing works
The absence of books
It's the ideas that time will
Always recycle
No TB or habit for lines
My lungs work fine
Writing lyrics on the back of a magazine
By my bed, in the light of computer screen
As if I'm the drama
As if I'm cinema
I feel so light inside
Letting the cold air later
Keep your friends close
But keep the ocean closer
There's sometimes a beauty in glass here
There's so much glass here
Refracting the lacking
Restlessness it cycles
