THIS DEAD TOWN
Every day I'm waiting for
The airport bars and the fading shores
To clean my heart from all the rust
That stayed when nothing ever changed
I'm just a kid with imaginary future
So tired of being nice
To all these idiots around
Building on jealousy and fear
I don't know if we live or drown
Or where to belong in this dead town
And when there's no return from hell
Well then there's no return from hell
And you wouldn't have to read to know
The witch hunt never died
Here's again something to rip apart
For the petty little soldiers of graceland
And all those things I've never seen
While working pointless jobs to waste
Still backed by tainted nature force
By the fucked up choirs of the kitchen whores
I don't know if we live or drown
Or where to belong in this dead town
And when there's no return from hell
Well then there's no return from hell
I don't know if we live or drown
Or where to belong in this dead town
And when there's no return from hell
Well then there's no return from hell
It can break your heart
Take your mind
It can bury your soul
And all the colours in it
Break your heart
Take your mind
It can bury your soul
And all the colours in it
Break your heart
Take your mind
It can bury your soul
And all the colours in it
Break your heart
Take your mind
It can bury your soul
And all the colours in it
YOU DON’T KNOW
You think you got it bad now
(Oh oh oh oh oh you don't know)
Nobody could take your curse down
(Oh oh oh oh oh you don't know)
Kiss good, fuck better, take cover
(Oh oh oh oh oh you don't know)
Before they try to find no other
(Oh oh oh oh oh you don't know)
And you're crying but you're doing it all again
I used to love the tension
And choke every time you mention
About your newest light in misery
(Oh oh oh oh oh you don't know)
And I spent my time in recovery
(Oh oh oh oh oh you don't know)
Now you're sorry but so sorry for yourself
And you're crying but you're doing it all again
And I hang around
Oh oh oh oh oh I don't know
Oh oh oh oh oh I don't know
Oh oh oh oh oh I don't know why
Oh oh oh oh oh I don't know
Oh oh oh oh oh I don't know
Oh oh oh oh oh I don't know why
GOLDEN SEA
Felt like strangled in my own bed
But stood up
Nothing, nothing instead
Of staying out of the last hours
Put it all in my endless debt
I'm taking everything I can get
See us trying to hold on what's left of our souls
Now would you believe me
If I said
Felt like crying in my own head
But laughed like nothing
Nothing instead
Of staying out of the last hours
We're young but already so old
Our hearts are filled with doubt and sold
For the highest bidder in this mess we live & die
Now would you believe me
If I said
That it was only a dream
To get stuck in between
Then paint back the rainbow
Through the golden sea
It was only a dream
It was only a dream now
It was only a dream
It was only a dream now
It was only a dream
It was only a dream now
It was only a dream
It was only a dream now
It was only a dream
It was only a dream now
It was only a dream
It was only a dream now
It was only a dream
It was only a dream now
It was only a dream
It was only a dream now
PRETTY IN DECADENCE
I went to heaven to get advice
I asked for God but he didn't have time
Hoped I could be happy I could be free
From the gun they keep pointing at me
Cable TV, pills and afterwork
To sleep at night
"Son it's always worse somewhere else"
Oh what a wonderful, wonderful life
Everytime I walk through the main street
Everytime I know
I would rather stay this way baby
Than wave the flag for the bloodsucking blues
I went downstairs just to get well
But I didn't have a soul left to sell
Self-help, pure race, Old Testament
To walk the line
Makes the healthy go insane
Oh what a wonderful, wonderful life
And everytime I walk through the main street
Everytime I know
I would rather stay this way baby
Than wave the flag for the bloodsucking blues
Everytime I walk through the main street
Everytime I know
I would rather stay this way baby
Than wave the flag for the bloodsucking blues
THE GREAT WAVE OF LIGHT
What a vision did it draw into my eyes
The dream where I stood tall with someone like you aside
So I wanted to live in the clouds or the cartoons or the clouds in the cartoons
But it goes like this every time we wake up in the afternoon
I was scared to be holdin' on
(My love it's only a wave of light)
To be holdin' onto you
(My love it's only a wave of light)
And when we've done our crime
Oh you know we gotta do our time
Holdin' on
(My love it's only a wave of light)
What a vision did it draw into my eyes
The dream where I stood tall with someone like you aside
So I wanted to fly in a ferris wheel to the hills of Frisco
But it goes like this every time we wake up in the afternoon
I was scared to be holdin' on
(My love it's only a wave of light)
To be holdin' onto you
(My love it's only a wave of light)
And when we've done our crime
Oh you know we gotta do our time
Holdin' on
(My love it's only a wave of light)
My love it's only a wave of light
My love it's only a wave of light
Oh you know we gotta do our time
My love it's only a wave of light
LIVING FORTRESS
Oh winter
You're looking kind of mean now
You take away a lifetime
And never pay it back
Oh night sky
Remember when I walked out
The rooms where I heard my thoughts
And spilled them around in the darkness
And though I might sound like I never lived a good life
Oh please light this fire now
And all the pretty things
My living fortress is made of sand
Oh winter
There's places that you can't find
I wish that I was able to reach one
And fear you no more
And though I might sound like I never lived a good life
Oh please light this fire now
And all the pretty things
My living fortress is made of sand
Oh please light this fire now
And all the pretty things
My living fortress is made of sand
ESCAPE IN THE AFTERNOON
Take me
Anywhere you could
Imagine and
Faithfully I will break the prison I was born in
Oh take me
Anywhere the sun shines
Away the harms of mankind off my shoulders
'Cause anything that we were meant to be
Was lost but I want to escape in the afternoon
To see the youth run through my hands
Sometimes I miss
My old friends in my home town
But don't take me
Anywhere it makes me
To dream about a life without a past with you
'Cause anything that we were meant to be
Was lost but I want to escape in the afternoon
To see the youth run through my hands
And anything that we were said to be
Was ruled in the juvenile grey industry mind
Now do you see yourself that way
When everything they wanted to be
The better people on a map of turning backs
Oh I'd just like to try to breathe
'Cause anything that we were meant to be
Was lost and I want to escape in the afternoon
To see the youth run through my hands
To see the youth run through my hands
To see the youth run through my hands
CONVICT
I'm a convict in a madhouse blues
Trying to live by the silver rule
I don't understand a word about
Pension plans or saving accounts
It's weekends and the nightlife tunes
Dying lust in the smoking rooms
They take whatever they make
Heart fails or Jesus saves
Now was it all I ever wanted too
All I ever wanted too
Flick through for a better view
Screens get bigger for smaller news
I'd like to love but it's a teenage dream
And all the Biebers turn into junkies at nineteen
Suits, ties and lies for good
Black-eyed wives drinking Jack at noon
Don't you miss your one last chance
To lose everything for the dance
Now was it all you ever wanted too
All you ever wanted too
Now was it all we ever wanted too
All we ever wanted too
Oh everybody's waiting for something
But who's crawlin' to the right way
Oh everybody's waiting for something
Hiding from the devil in the morning
NEW ZEALAND
When they say
We were never old enough to care
It’s like first of November
And when they say
We were never good enough to love
They’ve been washed in the holy waters
So I wanna die
With my eyes full life
All the years I survived I knew nothing about
Nothing about
So I wanna die
With my head full life
All the years I survived I knew nothing about
Nothing about so much
Hope we got far
‘Cause here it’s the same as for a bear
To be stuck inside a bird cage
And if we swim
To see New Zealand with our friends
Oh would you please bury me there
And sing
Together for the new start
I’m sailing
Through the mighty coast lines
As a ghost on a holiday
So I wanna die
With my eyes full life
All the years I survived I knew nothing about
Nothing about
So I wanna die
With my head full life
All the years I survived I knew nothing about
Nothing about so much
UP THE HILL
He’s a fine man
Salvation in his hand
Recruited by the league
Of lovers on demand
He is there for you
Lifting every proof
That you were never lost
When you followed through
And I will miss the nights
We walked the streets alive
And I had found a home
Oh I could never lie
Look up the hill and see
There is still the tree
And it will bloom again
Just like any other year
There’s so many roads
More important roads
Than the heartache
Like my friends would know
First love is only
First love they told me
And I’ll go with them now
Sink the drugs for lonely
And sometimes miss the nights
We walked the streets alive
And I had found a home
Oh I could never lie
Look up the hill and see
There is still the tree
And it will bloom again
Just like any other year
Just like any other year
Here’s a fine man
With every dream you have
These days won’t be the worst
When only graves can hold us down
TAKE YOU WITH ME
Even though I can't get out
In my mind I'm leaving this town
And I can't stay no more
Am I ever gonna be sane again
Everybody says they've seen it all
Everybody knows everything
But all the time won't change you in my eyes
All the drugs don't do anything, no
And I can't take you with me
Oh I can't take you with me, no
And I can't take you with me
How I wish I could take you with me now
Oh you see I can't get out
But in my mind I'm leaving this town
No I can't stay no more
Am I ever gonna be sane again
Like a kid I'm lying and waiting
Like a kid I'm lying and waiting
For the summer time to get around
And it's been pretty serious
And I can't take you with me
Oh I can't take you with me, no
And I can't take you with me
How I wish I could take you with me now
LIFT ME UP
These times can bring me down
But you lift me up, yeah you you lift me up
These times can bring me down
But you lift me up, yeah you you lift me up
You know
Scare politics, lost love and thrills
Always too fucking broke to pay these bills
No directions, late growing pains
Teenager whores popping pills on the train
These people always bring me down
But you lift me up, yeah you lift me up
These people always bring me down
But you lift me up, yeah you lift me up
You know
All the fascist fathers and their fascist boys
Mothers and the daughters without a voice
Money leaders, slaves for the royal blue
Girls who think what would miss Bradshaw do
You know it's not the end
So lift your head
You know it's not the end
So lift your head
You know it's not the end
So lift your head
You know it's not the end
So lift your head
You know it's not the end
So lift your head
You know it's not the end
DROPOUT JR.
Ran through the streets looking for something
Walked and walked around
Found nothing
Oh, you're still breathing
Do you see it, see it, see it now
Morning lights and the flower fields
Ran through the streets looking for somebody
Walked and walked around
Found nobody
Oh, you're still breathing
Do you see it, see it, see it now
Morning lights and the flower fields
