Ha! Knievel!

Seems to me, very strange, why you left when we were safe. All that's left, your paper wings. You airplane, I'm on the pavement.
Ha! Knievel, look at you, Broken river, now you walk on three. You're fast enough to take it back, you're black enough to give it away! All away! All away! All away! All away!!

Innocence, instead of making sense, the animals are sleeping, I hope they don't wake up...mad or maybe they're just sad. Look how cute, they're dreaming, pretending we're not dead. Perhaps it's in our heads. The thoughts you think we're thinking. Glass, this too shall pass. This too shall pass. Sentiment, or shall we just pretend. The scientists are sleepy, with thoughts they go under...understand...I hope they don't go mad. Look how cute they're scheming to turn gold back into lead. The secrets in our head. The ice has started sinking. Glass, this too shall pass. This too shall pass.

You am not alone! Time is quickly slowing. Alone in the universe, there is nothing faster! Dark cloud and it isn't night, dark sun and it isn't burning. Dark light from a backwards star, dark eye then time is frozen! HEY!
Human no es home, the past is now reversing! Sum of the universe, hidden message from the planet chaos. Mask of numbers, long division to the 23rd decibel. Sentient math, broke the code now death is frozen! HEY!

Sleepwalk

My eyes move fast and forward, I only see in red. Your mouth forms word like smoke rings, my heartbeat's keepin time. Shadows form on the ceiling. I am awake and dreaming. My thoughts form words like smoke rings, your heartbeat's keeping time. Figures outside, I see them. I only dream in red. The night forms worlds like smoke ring, our heartbeat's keeping time.

Heat Rises

Heat Rises in the desert, I'm sittin on red hot rock. Sand blows by, I cover my eyes, been days and it won't stop. First time I saw my baby, she was starin in a deep black hole. Animals were crowded around her. Said to myself this is very strange, very strange.
It's the sin that keeps it goin. It's the skin that makes it oh so strong. If the wind don't blow away, the good just might as well go home.
Night disguises as a desert, an I'm afraid of the big black rocks. Wind knows why I cover my eyes. I shouldn't pray but I just can't stop. Second time I saw my baby, she was naked and the fire burned cold. Clouds all were circled around her. Said to myself this is very strange, very strange.
It's the sin that keeps it goin. It's the skin that makes it oh so strong. If the sun don't burn away, the good just might as well go home.

Drivin

Drivin in the dark with no lights on. You are just trying to get home. You an me are all alone.
You can't see me, can you feel me? Getting closer, are you near me? Who is watching? You can't catch me. You make yourself look so easy.
Drivin in the dark with no lights on. You are just trying to get home. You an me are all alone.
Try an tease me, wind is screaming. Getting closer, are you breathing? Driving faster, sights deceiving. Check your mirrors, are we really...?
Drivin in the dark with no lights on. You are just trying to get home. You an me are all alone.

Blaak Doll
01:51
|

|
I don't say things to hurt you, that's what you do. Light bones and wings of virtue, fly me to truth.
I know it's you I seen your face I know your make-up. Those hungry eyes those spider lies, you make me wake up. With all those arms and all those legs, you catch me better.
Blaak Doll, pale statue, burns me like wood. Red heart, bled inside you. Lost in the flood.
Down in your box no light for me make me no shelter. Can't find no words don't have no thoughts make me no answer. A broken word a broken ring make me no future. Oh.

Every night its the same thing...I cup my ears as you both scream. I think I hear it in my dreams.
Idon'twannahearyoufuck! allyoueverdoisfuck! Idon'tevergettofuck!
The walls are filled with all your lust.
Symbiotic grunts and moans, pierce to halls at night I roam. I am sleeping all alone
Idon'twannahearyoufuck! allyoueverdoisfuck! Idon'tevergettofuck!
The walls are filled with all your lust.
The conversations dying down, a heavy sighs the only sound. Will they go another round?
Idon'twannahearyoufuck! allyoueverdoisfuck! Idon'tevergettofuck!
The walls are filled with all your lust.

So Sentimental
01:53

|
I'm eat your heart, so sentimental. You screw my mind, soon to be mental. You're secret faces, I'm so detective. You're so spy, you must be well protected.
Used to be so hard...used to be so cruel...well isn't this the part I give it back to you?
You're eyes look far, so glass half empty. You spit through smile, crush me gently. The see-through space says "all things connected." If yours is mine, that's why I'm so defective!
You used to be so hard, you used to be so cruel, well isn't this the part I give it back to you?! You used to be so hard, you used to be so cruel, well isn't this the part I give it back to you?!

When the Lyrics are Over
02:54

These days there sure ain't much too laugh about. Used to be a whole lot less to cry about.
One and one ain't that easy to do...when it don't add up to two.
Tonight, we gonna have to figure it out. We might, we might have to fight it out.
Two less one just ain't that easy to do...when it leaves me minus you.
