Lyrics

Truth, covered in security
I can’t let you smother me
I’d like to but it couldn’t work
Trading off and taking turns
I don’t regret a thing
And I’ve got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more than I could steal
I’ll arrest myself, I’ll wear a shield
I’ll go out of my way to prove that I still
Smell her on you

Don’t tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I’ll keep fighting jealousy
Until it’s fucking gone

And I’ve got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more than I could steal
I’ll arrest myself, I’ll wear a shield
I’ll go out of my way to prove that I still
Smell her on you

Truth, covered in security
I can’t let you smother me
I’d like to but it couldn’t work
Trading off and taking turns
I don’t regret a thing
And I’ve got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more than I could steal
I’ll arrest myself, I’ll wear a shield
I’ll go out of my way to make you a deal
We’ve make a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
And we’ll share what’s lost and what we grew
They’ll go out of their way to prove they still
Smell her on you
They still
Smell her on you
Smell her on you

Lyrics

I used to shout
Across the room to you
And you’d come dancin’
Like a fool
Shuffle step
You funky mother
Come to me
All warm as covers

Rest with me
My lovely brother
For you see
There is no other
Memory so sad and sweet
I’ll see you soon
Save me a seat

Well I’m cryin’
Now my lovely man
Yes I’m cryin’
Now and no one can
Ever fill the
The hole you left my man
I’ll see you later
My lovely man if I can

In my room
I’m all alone
Waiting for you
To get home
Listen to Roberta Flack
But I know you won’t come back

Well I’m cryin’
Now my lovely man
I’ll see you later
My lovely man if I can

Just in case
You never knew
I miss you slim
I love you too
See my heart
It’s black and blue
When I die
I will find you

Well I’m cryin’
Now my lovely man
Yes I’m cryin’
Now and no one can
Ever fill the
The hole you left my man
I’ll see you later
My lovely man if I can

Well I’m cryin’
My lovely man
Well I’m cryin’
My lovely man
I’ll see you later
My lovely man
We have some good time
My lovely man

Lyrics

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage.

Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act,
With insufficient tact,
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact.

Living in the Limelight,
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation,
Get on with the fascination,
The real relation,
The underlying theme.

Living in a fisheye lens,
Caught in the camera eye.
I have no heart to lie,
I can’t pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend.

All the world’s indeed a stage,
And we are merely players,
Performers and portrayers,
Each another’s audience
Outside the gilded cage.

Lyrics

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about.
He says it used to be a farm,
Before the Motor Law.
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes,
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire,
Where my white-haired uncle waits.

Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the Borderline.
Run like the wind,
As excitement shivers up and down my spine.
Down in his barn,
My uncle preserved for me an old machine,
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime…

Wind-
In my hair-
Shifting and drifting-
Mechanical music-
Adrenalin surge…

Well-weathered leather,
Hot metal and oil,
The scented country air.
Sunlight on chrome,
The blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware.

Suddenly ahead of me,
Across the mountainside,
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide.
I spin around with shrieking tires,
To run the deadly race,
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase.

Drive like the wind,
Straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope, I’ve got a desperate plan.
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm, to dream with my uncle at the fireside.

Lyrics

I’ve been on tenterhooks
Ending in dirty looks
Listen to the Muzak
Thinking ’bout this ‘n’ that
She said that’s that
I don’t wanna chitter-chat
Turn it down a little bit
Or turn it down flat

Pump it up
When you don’t really need it
Pump it up
Until you can feel it

Down in the pleasure center
Hell bent or heaven sent
Listen to the propaganda
Listen to the latest slander
There’s nothing underhand
That she wouldn’t understand

Pump it up
Until you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don’t even need it

She’s been a bad girl
She’s like a chemical
Though you try to stop it
She’s like a narcotic
You wanna torture her
You wanna talk to her
All the things you bought for her
Putting up your temperature

Pump it up
Until you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don’t really need it

Out in the fashion show
down in the bargain bin
you put your passion out
under the pressure pin
Fall into submission
hit-and-run transmission
No use wishing
Now for any other sin

Pump it up
Until you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don’t really need it

Pump it up
Until you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don’t really need it

Pump it up
Until you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don’t really need it

Don’t really need it
Don’t really need it
Don’t really need it

Lyrics

Whats up with what’s going down
In every city, in every town
Cramping styles is the plan.
They’ve got us in the palm of every hand.

When we pretend that we’re dead
When we pretend that we’re dead
They can’t hear a word we’ve said
When we pretend that we’re dead

(c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
(c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)

(c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
(c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)

We turn the tables with our unity,
They’re neither moral nor majority.
Wake up and smell the coffee
Or just say no to individuality.

When we pretend that we’re dead
(pretend we’re dead)
When we pretend that we’re dead
(pretend we’re dead)
They can’t hear a word we’ve said
(pretend we’re dead)
When we pretend that we’re dead

(c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
(c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
(c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
(c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)

When we pretend that we’re dead
(pretend we’re dead)
When we pretend that we’re dead
(pretend we’re dead)
They can’t hear a word we’ve said
(pretend we’re dead)
When we pretend that we’re dead

Lyrics

Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a fire
Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo

In touch with the ground
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Smell like I sound, I’m lost in a crowd
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I’ll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo
High blood drumming on your skin, it’s so tight
You feel my heat, I’m just a moment behind
Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo

In touch with the ground
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Scent and a sound, I’m lost and I’m found
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it’s discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine, I’m after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I’m hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
I smell like I sound, I’m lost and I’m found
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it’s discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf

Lyrics

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah, we’re feeling so good

Picking up things we shouldn’t read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It’s just the end of the world

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love
You could, you can

Into a place, where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it’s nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too
‘Cause it’s nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could ’cause you can, so you do
We’re feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it’s nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could ’cause you can, so you do
We’re feeling so good

Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?

Back to the place
Where we used to say
Man, it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean

Back to the street, back to the place
Back to the room where it all began
Back to the room where it all began
‘Cause it’s nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could ’cause you can, so you do
We’re feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it’s nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could ’cause you can, so you do
We’re feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it’s nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could ’cause you can, so you do
We’re feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it’s nine in the afternoon

Better start kissing some ass

Bad weather
Let’s get together
I ain’t waiting in line

Night lesson
Sunny session
You know you work so fine

So what’s your name
New kid in school
Tell me something
Do you feel lonely
Come sit next to me
Tell me honey
Do you feel lonely
Come get closer to me

It ain’t that bad
You know it really ain’t that bad

You can’t avoid it
Might as well enjoy it
‘Cause I do
Well you’re the new kid in school

You’re the new kid in school

Best dressed
Be my guest
I’ll take you to the top

School nurse
You’re not the first
And I won’t tell you to stop

Burnt leather
Let’s come together
No time to educate

Hot shot
The parking lot
Before you graduate

So what’s your name
New kid in school
Tell me something
Do you feel lonely
Come sit next to me
Tell me honey
Do you feel lonely
Come get closer to me

You know it really ain’t that bad

Well you’re the new kid in school

Yea you’re the new kid in school
You’re the new kid in school
You’re the new kid in school
You’re the new kid in school

Lyrics

One baby to another says I’m lucky to have met you
I don’t care what you think, unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube, and end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you

With eyes so dilated, I’ve became your pupil
You’ve taught me everything, about a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I’m a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful, vacuum out the fluids

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you

One baby to another says I’m lucky to have met you
I don’t care what you think, unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube, and end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
You’re my vitamins
I’m like you
