Lyrics

I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well he just drove off sometimes life’s ok
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say?
Well you just laughed it off it was all ok

And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on any way well

A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes don’t you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on exactly the same day
Well we’ll float on good news is on the way

And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on, alright already
We’ll all float on, now don’t you worry
We’ll all float on, alright already
We’ll all float on, alright don’t worry
We’ll all float on

And we’ll all float on, alright already
We’ll all float on, alright don’t worry
Even if things end up a bit too heavy
We’ll all float on, alright already
We’ll all float on, alright already
We’ll all float on, ok don’t worry
We’ll all float on, even if things get heavy
We’ll all float on, alright already
We’ll all float on, don’t you worry (alright)
We’ll all float on (alright)
All float on

Lyrics

Tunnel vision at blinding speed
Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty
Throughout my very soul

Lost illusions of mind control
Resisting all hope of letting go
Racing impulse of dark desire
Drives me through the night

I try to shut it down
It leaves me in the dust
No matter what I’ve found
I can never get enough

Frantic actions of insanity
Impulsive laced profanity
Long for elusive serenity
Way out of my control

Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can’t let up, I can’t let go
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Forever more, into the night
Blistering

Focus here, focus there
Cannot see the light
Falling down through the night
Sprawling everywhere

Searching left, searching right
Panic setting in
I can no longer fight
When will this end?

Accelerate, dislocate
Set to crash and burn
Haven’t got time to waste
Not planning to return

Aggravate, Agitate
When will I ever learn?
There’s no way out of here
Nowhere to turn

Obsessive yearning
Compulsive burning
Still never learning
Insane random thoughts of neat disorder

Scattered wasteland surrounding me
Tattered memories of what used to be
Apocalyptic mind debris
Until we meet again

Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can’t let up, I cant’ let go
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Forever more, into the night
Blistering

Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can’t let up, I can’t let go
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Can’t stop the wheels from turning

Traveling through both space and time
You get yours and I got mine
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can’t let up, I can’t let go
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Forever more, into the night
Blistering

I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing

I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing

Is it up to me?
You won’t wait to see
Screwed us both again
About as close as you dare

I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing

Is it up to me?
You won’t wait to see
Screwed us yet again
About as close as you dare
Hey now, take it back
Get off me, you’re sad
Trailin’ on your scene
Just try and keep it clean

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

Checked the clock when I got home and realized I was alone.
Sat for hours by the window wonderin’ where did ya go?
Couldn’t eat or sleep at all took the pictures off the wall.
Paced the place as time moves slow and I’m wondering
Where did ya go?
Where’d ya go?
Where’d ya go?
I wanna know!
Lit a cigarette I couldn’t smoke
Wound the clock until it broke.
Went to bed then took a shower, stared at TV for an hour.
Did the dishes, made the bed.
Read a book I never read.
Any minute you will show and I’m wondering where did ya go?
Where’d ya go?
Where’d ya go?
I wanna know!
I opened the fridge, I opened a beer, played a tape I couldn’t hear.
Emptiness began to grow and I’m wondering where did ya go?
Watched the sun come up from the back stairs.
Thought about the last few years.
I lost control
I screamed, I cried
I punched a hole and went inside.
Packed my things, called a friend.
Wished this emptiness would end.
Wrote a note then tore it up, poured the beer into a cup.
Sat on the couch, drank it slow, wondering where did ya go?
Realized I couldn’t stay, I grabbed my things and went away.
Where’d you go?
Where’d you go?
I wanna kno

Hey, you’re really it

Everybody’s talking ’bout the stormy weather
And what’s a man do to but work out whether it’s true?
Looking for a man with a focus and a temper
Who can open up a map and see between one and two

Time to get it
Before you let it
Get to you

Here he comes now
Stick to your guns
And let him through

Everybody’s coming from the winter vacation
Taking in the sun in a exaltation to you

You come running in on platform shoes
With Marshall stacks
To at least just give us a clue

Ah, here it comes
I know it’s someone I knew

Teenage riot in a public station
Gonna fight and tear it up in a hypernation for you

Now I see it
I think I’ll leave it out of the way
Now I come near you
And it’s not clear why you make the way

Looking for a ride to your secret location
Where the kids are setting up a free-speed nation, for you
Got a foghorn and a drum and a hammer that’s rockin’
And a cord and a pedal and a lock, that’ll do me for now

It better work out
I hope it works out my way
‘Cause it’s getting kind of quiet in my city’s head
Takes a teen age riot to get me out of bed right now

You better look it
We’re gonna shake it
Up to him

He acts the hero
We paint a zero
On his hand

We know it’s down
We know it’s bound too loose
Everybody’s sound is round it
Everybody wants to be proud to choose
So who’s to take the blame for the stormy weather
You’re never gonna stop all the teenage leather and booze

It’s time to go round
A one man showdown
Teach us how to fail

We’re off the streets now
And back on the road
On the riot trail

Lyrics

Such sordid words have fallen
Into deaf ears
A mind ignored in swollen form
And with out fear

Today I show my face and whispers turn to screams
Visions of what might have been and what will never be

Conforming to rejection
Coexisting pain
Until abnormality is routine
Routine to tolerate

Scars are embedded
Lost in translation
Spoken too softly
Maybe they didn’t hear me

Carved in reflection
Beast in the beauty
Loathing and glistening
Maybe you weren’t listening
Oh

So where will you run
When the sky starts falling
When your home
Is nowhere
To be found

Will you remain

Unscarred beyond
Relentless crawling
When your world comes tumbling down

Today I show my face and whispers turn to screams
Visions of what might have been and what will never be

Today I show my face and whispers turn to screams
Visions of what might have been and what will never be

Oh

Cause and effect
And ignorance is bliss
Words can be weapons
If that is what you wish

Pause and reflect
With the blade
At your wrist
Silence is deafening
And screams all of this

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

Lyrics

Progress is a myth
If not for he who suffered
Gave himself away
At the hands of fools
And lesser men

False idols and kings
Who came to rule through circumstance
Work him like a dog with a ball and chain
And thanklessness

The dice have been cast
No turning back
Eyes on the ground
Where he will die
Feet
Nailed to the floor
Reason to be
Shoulder to the plow

Facing down the wind
He’ll see the way he’ll never change
Mark his slow decay as bottles drain
And days go by

Forging his demise
Through poison vice to sap the mind
Iron was the will, now passions wane
And spirits die

The weight on his chest
Aches in his flesh
Dreams of a day
That never comes
Axe
Pressed to the wheel
Bones ground to dust
Shoulder to the plow

Ground down into dust
For a taste of the good life
Left his dreams
Left his hopes be hind

Work him dead
Let him rot
