Yeah decency she done left our home
On her rollerskaters
So I guess she’s pretty far gone
Left me with my greed
To answer for my own
For how could a deadened sense
Tell right from wrong

So thanks for nothing I aint feeling the magic
Kinda comic how I got tragic
Mirror mirror on the wall
What do you give someone who has it all

More just to be sure
I got what I wanted so naturally I want more
What I paid for entertain me now
All I want is more cos i like it
Too good to left it go keep it coming
Cos I want more cos I’m not sure
What I really wanted suffice to say I want is more

Yeah modesty her rule now overthrown
Packed her teddybear, so as not to go alone
Left me with my pride to live beneath a stone
For how could an amputee ever pick a bone

So tell me something isn’t this a bit drastic
My smiles are turning to plastic
Mirror mirror on the wall
What’s the secret for staying droll

More just to be sure
I got what I wanted so naturally I want more
What I paid for entertain me now
All I want is more cos i like it
Too good to left it go keep it coming
Cos I want more cos I’m not sure
What I really wanted suffice to say I want is more

You know it isn’t particularly funny
Killjoy walks in just when it’s turning sunny
Killjoy lives like it’s all about the money
All about the money, all about the money
All about the money, all about the money

You know it isn’t particularly funny
Killjoy walks in just when it’s turning sunny
Killjoy lives like it’s all about the money
All about the money, all about the money
All about the money, all about the money

I want more just to be sure
I got what I wanted so naturally I want more
What I paid for entertain me now
All I want is more cos i like it
Too good to left it go keep it coming
Cos I want more cos I’m not sure
What I really wanted suffice to say I want is more

You know it isn’t particularly funny
Killjoy walks in just when it’s turning sunny
Killjoy lives like it’s all about the money
All about the money, all about the money
All about the money, all about the money

Today it’s in the air again,
Today another incident that just went off.
No way, this time I will not take the blame,
It’s pretty obvious who needs to shut up.
Ashtrays filled with the fruits of our transgressions,
Here and there sarcasm overflows.
To stay, I need the sitcom to be rerun
Till I get the gist of just how it goes.
So what would you have me do?

Chorus.
Give me a reason, come on and make my day,
Cos I’m out of cheeks to turn the other way.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Somehow I’ve been blindsided by my own
Kindhearted notion of just who we are.
No doubt we’d have collided anyway
With me endicted and you raising alarm.
First round I’ll take my bows into my corner,
Take the vows, regroup and run back again.
Bloody hell, I know no better pedigree
Than what you see, so you could not offend.

Did I act like a fool cos I didn’t know what to do when you gave me just a little bit more than I bargained for,
A little too much in my hands when my hands are tied.
It’s the ultimate fling to go frolicking, licking the muck from the soles of the boots of your pride.
Every time you lied…

Chorus.
Give me a reason, come on and make my day,
Cos I’m out of cheeks to turn the other way.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Ooooh, yeeeeh, give me a reason.
Yeeeh, make my day.
Cos’ someone’s gotta pay.

Can you give me reason
I movin’ into grace.
Something like in hold on
at the end of the day.
Cos’ I can’t move on til’ I know what’s the deal.

Chorus

If this machine doesn’t stop
What will you do if it never goes out,
Never goes out of season?
It never stops as it turns…
There ain’t no passion, yet it burns,
Introducing my prison.
Losing myself in this place…
Soon I’m gone without a trace,
Freed with that final incision.
Look, my heart, it’s a bird;
It needs to sing and to be heard
Not this clockwork precision.

And The Machine grows idiotic;
Who’s gonna be it’s ingenious critic?

Everybody loves the perfect solution,
To beat the odds
Against the poorest possible substitution.
What you see is never what you’re gonna get…
Everybody’s playing Revolution Roulette.

Leaves you no arguments to trade;
You can try the key or you can wait,
But the lock will not open.
So you’re left with sanity to lose
‘Cause the machine is a ruse,
Another invention to rule them..
It’s like a fistful of snake eyes,
A hand grenade with bye byes,
Like a million spent on nothing.
Look…
It’s kinda like a pick in their lock,
When you never went knock knock.
“Hello, anybody home? I’m coming in…”
With a touch of foreboding.

And the machine grows parasitic;
Who’s gonna critisize the good critic?

Everybody loves…

Everybody has the perfect solution,
But it’s just hard to resist the sweet seduction.
There ain’t no trick to winning double what you bet…
Welcome to Revolution Roulette.

Everybody loves…

well it’s a different man in your face
and so out of place
that you can see anything there that you wish
kiss my bliss
it’s like i’m a welcoming freakshow doormat
held in awe while growing fat in the head
this is where we all should see red
a big fat wet slab of red

and i see that it makes me ain’t everything
and i see that it makes me want to shed my skin, shed my skin

revelation leading to my psychosis and inspiration
digest another hallucination psychosis by recreation
happy till the next deterioration psychosis

for you it’s a different notion of music and motion
a dance of lights a prosaic ocean
a delicate nearly transparent creation of somebodys
soul on the screen has caught you in between
of somebody’s life on the stage and somebodys life on
the frontpage and this is where we all should see red
a big fat laughing mouth of red

and i see that it makes me ain’t everything
and i see that it makes me want to shed my skin, shed my skin

i think i’m gonna start my own religion
seems to be the recipe for a new sensation
think it’s gonna make a trendy revolution
quite the contribution to the unnatural selection

You’ve been biting bullets all these years
I know there beside yourself choking on tears
and you aced avoiding possibility
when you place your bets on bittersweet

oh now don’t you worry
there’s no need to be sorry
there’s time to step lightly

‘cos the love you used to feel
still in there inside
it may be a faded photograph but i know you care
so don’t hide
if you’re scared I’m here beside you
if you get lost I’m here to guide you
and I give you peace when peace is fragile
love is all the good in you
love is peace when peace is fragile

you’ve been going out of way to agree
like you’ve been rubbing yourself all wrong
just to be somebody else’s genie
catering to your disasters every need
waiting to finally be set free

I said baby don’t worry
life will carry
just take it slowly

‘cos the love you used to feel
still in there inside
it may be a faded photograph but i know you care
so don’t hide
if you’re scared I’m here beside you
if you get lost I’m here to guide you
and I give you peace when peace is fragile
love is all the good in you
love is peace when peace is fragile

eh eh
oh oh-oh-oh
repeat

‘cos the love you used to feel
still in there inside
it may be a faded photograph but i know you care
so don’t hide
if you’re scared I’m here beside you
if you get lost I’m here to guide you
and I give you peace when peace is fragile
love is all the good in you
love is peace when peace is fragile

oh-oh-oh-oooh

Looking at the road that rises up ahead,
I thought I’d learned a thing or two…
But this is where it’s all made new, and I..
I gotta throw my hands up
‘Cause I can’t go on if I can’t stop.

[chorus]
Look,
The leaves are dead…
The moments gone, there’s no surrender;
Forever now unsaid,
The words that might have warmed December.
It’s all inside your head,
Like fragments of a dream you remember,
So never mind your clever mind, never mind me.

Staring at the ceiling from my bed,
I thought I’d earned a chance or few…
I thought I’d be paid in due
Time isn’t made for waiting,
And past isn’t worth debating.

[chorus]

Feeling like a fool again…
Just need a new direction,
A new beginning, new beginning…
I can’t hold back and I can’t hold on,
It’s all about gratification;
See me running, see me running…

[chorus]

she can see about four satellites
every minute of the hour
and find a four leaf clover
where you never saw a flower
she’s habitually paradoxical a parallel perpendicular

barefoot in nightgowns
that’s how she dances in the rain
sundown to sundown, like she was washing way her pain

as she is beatiful, she’s unpredictable
damned irresistible, is it plausible to hate her
she is my common sense, revels on decadence
but what’s the difference, it’s impossible to bait her

she can really be a handful
like the brownes that she bakes you
it can be a tad hysterical,
but never quite the breakthrough
she’s some kind of an epitome, the sea of intranquillity

in flimsy nightgowns, barefoot she dances in the rain
sundown to sundown, like she was washing way her pain

as she is beatiful, she’s unpredictable
damned irresistible, is it plausible to hate her
she is my common sense, revels on decadence
but what’s the difference, it’s an impossible debate

Why in these days of man made wonders, we still bicker over flies?
When you come seeking for forgiveness, I’ll be forced to choose my side.
If I deny you what you’re searching, do I do it out of fear?
Am I ruling out my reason, killing that which I hold dear?

Out of my way I’m running, with an excuse just underway
Reality’s so daunting, and I’ve got no way to explain

Refrain:
‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me, I know you’re the one.
So when I hear you calling my name, why do I turn away to run?
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears.
Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears.

In the light of recent findings, there’s no greater taint than grace.
But to relinquish all our bindings. Always finds us out of place.
If I rested here a while more, would you hold me to your heart?
will I know what it’s meant for. will I know to play my part.

Out of my way I’m leaving
Another excuse before I’ll stay
Reality’s applauding
I know I don’t know the right way

Refrain

Is it a lost cause?
Can we overlook this taint?
Are these dead laws, like a doubt eating the saint?

And though I fear these shackles, like my darkness closing in
I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands

Refrain

This is my toothpaste moment.
Oh, I’ll need to flash a smile.
I’ll be the super-absorbent-man,
Watch them flock to me in single file.
And I’ll need to do it with style,
I need to keep me up to date…
Swallowing the sun, run another mile,
It’s overrated how we underrate.

I dance in tune with what I fear
To do adrenaline;
Completely rapt with what I hear,
When passion colors everything…
The songs I sing from way out there to deep within,
The face I wear behind my grin,
The price I pay for my original sin,
Everything, everything, everything…

I have a mind for simple things,
But things are not of mind to simplify;
There’s always some loophole technicality…
You buy into and pay until you die.
And money doesn’t bring me joy,
It’s more a darling dead weight,
And I seem to have lost my appetite,
It’s underrated how we overrate.

I dance entangled with my dear,
She pulls my every string.
Completely trapped yet never here,
When passion colors everything…

And when I’m finally brought to my senses,
Parade the rain on my parade
Before I’m back to my defenses
To watch the whole thing escalate.

Gotta get a hold of myself…
I see them gathering around
And they need me to do their will.

It’s like I’m standing again
On the same window-sill…
Am I happy on the pill?

If I wanna be the man
Should I open my wrist again?
Would that make it excellent, yeah…
If I wanna be the one,
Should I book me an interview
To get me an audition?

Save me,
I’m my own worst enemy,
Running headlong to the wall ’cause I want my freebie.
Save me,
You’re the only out I see
And I need your love the most when I least deserve it.

Gotta get a shot of something
Before I’ll enter the ring…
Gimme just a minute, just a minute…

Did I really ask for all this?
Did I really cut open the goose
Just to lose what’s in it?

If I wanna be the man
Should I open my wrist again
To find the way in?
Yeah, if I wanna be the one
I’ll need to get me that interview
To get that audition.
Save me…

That’s myself in the mirror…
Funny I should see only headlines and ads to my name.
I was told I’d see my ally;
Who are these skeletons with guns taking aim?

Save me, Save me…
Save me, Save me…

on your palm an endless wonder
lines that speak the truth without a sound
in your eyes awaits the tireless hunger
already looks for prey to run down

so why do we keep up this charade
how do we tell apart the time to leave from the time to wait

what does tomorrow want from me
what does it matter what i see
if it can’t be my design
tell me where do we draw the line

the dance of flames and shadows in the street
make poetry nobody’s ever heard
the weight of lonelinesss stands on your feet
the cage already there around the bird

so why don’t we join the masquerade
before it falls apart before our love become insatiate

what does tomorrow want from me
what does it matter what i see
if i can’t choose my own design
tell me where do we draw the line

what does tomorrow want from me
what does it matter what i see
if we all walk behind the blind
tell me where do we draw the line

where’s the cooling wind, where’s the evergreen field
where’s my mother’s open arms, where’s my father lionheart
s’like the sun’s gone down, sleeps in the hallowed ground now
with the autumn’s browns leaves, with the one who never greves

so why do we keep up this charade
how do we tell apart the time to leave from the time to wait

what does tomorrow want from me
what does it matter what i see
if it can’t be my design
tell me where do we draw the line

what ever tomorrow wants from me
at least i’m here at least i’m free
free to choose to see the sign
