Not so fast, it’s a trap! They’re tryin to clip my wings, my wings So I’m learnin to move without strings Shifty eyes, you gotta go (you gotta go) Long wooden nose, you gotta go (you gotta go) I’m growin on my own Yeah, I button up my coat I look back at the fault line It continues to shake We live in space age times So what’s with these stone age brains? I won’t cave, I won’t cave A headache from the fumes of the flesh But I’m rich, yeah I’m rich But I have no money yet Another world spellbound When did he go off the deep end? Keep an eye out and stay on the defense (Ooh) I’ll hit the switch in an instant We wouldn’t want that now would we? Chasin, wait, chasin emotion so distant He’s a robot, without you what, could he do? I’m afraid not a whole lot Operator, give me power Generator, animate me Make it real There’s gotta be a fix, how does it feel? Red flag, red flag, red flag There’s a storm on the radar but i’m raising the mast Set sail, set sail Set sail, set sail, set sail Stay back, stay back, stay back I’m a creature of habit but i’ve gone off the tracks Derailed, derailed Derailed, derailed, derailed All black, all black, all black, all black He got the wrong brain The wrong brain He got the wrong brain The wrong braaaaaaaaain, hey! The wrong brain The wrong brain Cannot be detained He got the wrong brain

Frenzy 02:25
I see the other side now, it’s just not my fate But I was always right there, in plain sight And if you see me right now, you won’t know my face Another stranger on a train Face down, three rows ahead I got eyes in the back of my skull I can read what’s on your mind Your body language says it all You’re still tryin to find me You think I’m still on the run This is my higher ground I won’t leave during the flood I just keep switchin disguises I know they’ll never catch on Stay ready, for this life And always prepared for the next one I see it comin, weather balloon Inclement weather, under the moon I see it coming, weather balloon Inclement weather, Inclement weather Under the sun, the deed is done Wait for the water, don’t ever run I see the other side now It’s just not my taste But I was always right there, in plain site And if you see me right now, you won’t know my face Another stranger on a train Manic, manic, manic (I’m-a make your day) They don’t give an explanation, they’re just tryin to test our patience

Rope 02:46
Fog on the windshield and a future so vague Gone in the blink of an eye (gone in the blink of an eye) Nothing to fret moving full speed ahead All aboard! (All aboard!) All aboard! I’ll be watchin with a grin Every day goes by in a blur Throwin caution in the wind Like we have all the time in the world Entered the room and the temperature dropped Turning the lights off and closing up shop Deadbeat, deadbeat, deadbeat Inside the ceremony disturbances surround us Vibrations fill the air Vibrations fill the air Programmed, we run together Two windows side by side Just come with us, just come with us now Get on the bus, you’re one of us now Black diamond, love is a slope Flat-linin’, throw me a rope Oh! Welcome to the ups and the downs (ups and the downs) The ups and the downs (ups the downs) The ups and the downs (the ups and the downs) Stand in a line, stand in a line Hands in the sky, hands in the sky You thought we’d forget it? Forget it. Oh! We still have visions, visions We speak it in every sentence Oh! But they still don’t listen, listen Knock on the door is it fiction or fate? Quiet from another world (quiet from another world) Wake me up now without further delay Nevermore! Nevermore! What!

Lifeboat 04:35
Bad water dripping from faucet Bad water dripping from the roof Bad water dripping through the ceiling Wish I, Wish I was waterproof Still peeking out of my blinds Waiting for a sunny day Still leaking out of the pipes Gotta be a better way A top man at his craft He knows no rain delay They’re closing the doors, we’re not gonna make it We got to the train too late Too late, too late, too late, too late, yeah! Too late, too late, too late Algorithm drenched, drippin down the screen Algorithm drenched, drippin down the screen No blue lagoon, no filter, no sandy beaches Politics aside, over my head in polluted currents I’m gonna run out of breath If your voice sounds watered down, just keep on scrollin Arrow down Shapeless and formless fluid on my spine, try to stay dry Just keep on, Just keep on scrollin Arrow down You drew a line in the snow and then the sun came up Vision is blurred, when will I learn? You put your foot on the ground, it started crackin up, crackin up Walkin on eggshells? More like walkin on hot coal No matter how I shift my weight it still burns my soles But I can get to the end and never look back And I won’t retrace my steps From the start it was crystal clear But we’ve been driftin towards a dark cloud We’re not alone in the deep blue I should’ve listened, they tried to warn me, they beat it into the ground From the start it was crystal clear But we’ve been driftin towards a dark cloud We’re not alone in the deep blue over my head in polluted currents I’m gonna run out of breath Still peekin out of my blinds Still leakin out of the pipes Stay dry! Stay dry! Stay dry! Down by the riptide Just part of the cycle Rest for the weekend I’ll seal the windows and empty the pails Down by the riptide (Hold onto the rails) Just part of the cycle (The lightning and the hail) Rest for the weekend I’ll seal the windows and empty the pails

Gonna use my last wish on the elephant in the room Gotta take a deep breath before the smoke begins to bloom God, it makes me nauseous tryin to find you through these fumes God, I hope the stairs are clear, the elevator is no use I’m on the 36th floor, both of my legs feelin weak Carry me down I’m defeated, you saw it comin for weeks Place your bets down, I’m a million in debt now Keep your voice low. Don’t wake up the volcano Get down, get down, get down Frozen on the rug, a computer bug, oh, my culture Go right ahead, go right ahead and blame us Just please don’t pull the plug Smile for the satellite, they’re keepin notes on your day-to-day I’ve seen it with my yellow eyes, might as well look em in the face There’s not a star in the sky, there’s not a chance I’m a saint I’m always gonna be bad, so just call me by my name Spell it out on the poster Golden gun in the holster In the claws of a lifelong drought I will bargain with the vulture (Spell it out) Spell it out on the posters (Golden gun) Golden gun in the holster (In the claws) In the claws of a lifelong drought I will bargain with the vulture I will bargain with the vulture I will bargain with the, bargain with the vulture How awful am I now, do I have to sound it out? Maybe our paths will meet again next winter flyin South How awful can I get, all the bones holding up my nest I want to meet my maker but I gotta feed my kids How awful can I be, is it something in the tea Spend the morning at the dentist and he’s sharpening my teeth How awful can I get, lead you right into my web Then I left you in the dark and now my eyes are turnin red It’s just culture It’s alright now, it’s alright now, it’s alright now, it’s alright now

Bon Voyage 03:34
This nervous energy, just tryin to crack the code Forbidden, we made a, wrong turn off the main road We’re cornered, outnumbered, need more time to reload This winter’s ferocious, hard to see through the snow Life is not a spectacle, it’s a predicament and I’m torn One day we celebrate, next day we mourn We used to run from the law, yeah Oh how the tables have turned, turned, turned Wild west, yeah, I’m packin bags, it’s for the best Flew the nest, yeah, this can’t be real, it’s just a test Curriculum was division but they keep asking for the sum We’re the only architects that can build our way out of this slum A new foundation on the solid ground, yeah, a new foundation on the solid ground (on the solid ground) Calm and collected, that’s my new wave Careening through the pines like blue jays I held my breath for quite a few days Blue faced, blue face! Crashin in a dream or floating in space (no disguise)
