01 BLACK CROSSES

Vapor trails
Chase down the setting sun
And the silence
Comes in dreams of everyone
Heiroglyphic prophecy and digital display
Racing to the end of time
We dont really wanna know the way

Illumination, my divine right
I'm separation of earth and state

Black crosses in the sun
Waiting for us
Down lonely horizons
Were wasting away
And down on our knees
Awaiting prophecies from someone elses dreams

Empty eyes
Stare through the blackened sun
We can rise
Only to become undone
One thousand fathoms deep below
The darkest ocean depths
To radiated heavens floating
Just beyond our reach

We are the light
That fills the sun
To burn no more
And cave in on us

Black crosses in the sun
Waiting for us
Down lonely horizons
Were wasting away
And down on our knees
Awaiting prophecies from someone elses dreams

I hear the rapture now
We are dead space in time
The signals coming in and out
We are the lonely ones
We are the lonely ones

Black crosses in the sun
Waiting for us
Down lonely horizons

Black crosses in the sun
Were wasted away
Down lonely horizons

Black crosses in the sun
Waiting for us
Awaiting prophecies from someone elses dreams

Were wasting away
Were down on our knees

02 CARCRASHRADIO

Little black rose, don't blow away
Yeah slide right over let me hear you say
I got the heart and I got the bombs
A full tank of gas and nowhere to be with you
With you

Step into my ride and I'll let you drive all over me
Crash right into me and take me down
I'm not going anywhere
Please come and scrape me off the ground

Dig, dig, dig, dig a little deeper
And I'll tell you anything you want to know
Show me what it's like to pull you closer
Show me what it's like to burn this place
To the end of the last broken bottle
The end of the night all alone
All alone with you

Crash right into me and take me down
Show me how you dance alone
When there's no one else around
Show me a secret
Tell me something no one else would know
As we lose our minds
And we're getting high to the radio

Silence
We're all alone

Like a heart brake all the time
For the glory, for the wine
Scratch the meaning in my arm
Little promise, say my name
We could never be the same
Little black rose, don't blow away

Crash right into me and take me down
Show me how you dance alone
When there's no one else around
Show me a secret
Tell me something no one else would know
As we lose our minds
And we're getting high to the radio

03 THE FEVER AND THE SOUND

This portrait of reality
The fever and the sound
Our place in this gravity
Is nowhere till we hit the ground

Electrical and alkaline
Rhetorical and less divine
Impulses activate
Receptors drawn to stimulate

As the girls walk by then fade away
As an old man dies a little every day
The lonely poor and arrogant all make their graves

So stand up brave and kiss goodbye
Any chance we'll live forever
My sweet black Maria, surrender
Never let this place go without a fight
Before we all go down forever
Hold on tight, now dance with me

The stories of these empires
They echo through these halls
And the shadows that used to play along
These lonely streets won't save you now

As the girls walk by then fade away
As an old man dies a little every day
The lonely poor and arrogant all make their graves

So stand up brave and kiss goodbye
Any chance we'll live forever
My sweet black Maria, surrender
Never let this place go without a fight
Before we all go down forever
Hold on tight, now dance with me

Charlatains and the kings of men
And the songs that we sing
Holy watchtowers and skin machines
Vacant minds and lucid dreams

Collisions of a life in story
Make believe and allegory
So dance with me just one more time
Dance with me and don't look down

So stand up brave and kiss goodbye
Any chance we'll live forever
My sweet black Maria, surrender
Never let this place go without a fight
Before we all go down forever
Hold on tight, now dance with me

04 HEART ATTACK

Cities burn and fall into the sea
When all faith is lost will you believe in me
When the darkness falls never to be seen again by anyone

When my heart attacks will you stand by me
Will you guide me through the end

All these broken things we leave behind
Will be the only beauty you will find
On this island, lost
Under red November sky

When my heart attacks will you stand by me
Through the seasons in my head
We just need to build communication
So I can feel where you're coming from

I dont have to hear a word you say
To know how its going down
This life will kill us
Before we ever get it right

The weight of gravity pushing on my mind
Every heartbeat just a beat in time
This distant star
What does it really mean at all

When it collapses down to the root note
When the sun begins to fade away

I don't have to hear a word you say
To know exactly how you're feeling
Your expression betrays
And life's too short run away
Let the sun come up, burn us away

What does it mean to a world without an end
When the heart wont heal, when the body wont pretend
And all these things and all these lies
Become the weight that finally gets us in the end

When my heart attacks will you stand by me
Through the seasons in my head
We just need to build communication
So I can feel where you're coming from
Now you can see where I'm coming from
So we can become something new

I dont have to hear a word you say
To know how its going down
This life will kill us before
And life's too short run away
Let the sun come up, burn us away

05 VANITY

Did you leave a light on for me
Did you pray I'd find my way
Did you call out to me from the dark
Did you really think I'd stay

Did you feel me when the hurt rolled in
Did you roll your pretty eyes
Did that feeling rise up from within
Did it take you by, take you by surprise

You know you're better off without me
Eyes like yours could always give you away
There were times when I needed you to be on my side

Through these eyes
That world just died, a new one's born

Well you murder me with pink and blue
A posession in a box for you
Valentines and hand grenades
Secret words and serenades

Symbiotic mass destruction
We're directionless and vain
Can you feel it when it comes around
Can you feel it when it takes you by surprise

You know you're better off without me
Eyes like yours could always give you away
There were times when I needed you to be on my side

Through these eyes
Now I sit and watch the end of the world

At the bottom of the ocean I sit and wait alone
For a chance to breathe the life into my lungs

Now I feel like myself again
As I beat myself against you one more time

Eyes
You know you're better off without me
Eyes like yours could always give you away
There were times when I needed you to be on my side

Through these eyes
Now I sit and watch the end of the world
The end of the world
The end of the world
The end of the world

06 GHETTO HEATER

I can close my eyes and make my way
Through these silent, empty streets
And I can hear the sound you make
When you don't want to be heard

Now you can run and you can hide
And you can be someone else
But you can never wash this place from me
Or the things that make you blue

What did you really come here for
What do you think you will find
I've been where you are now, I know one thing

It's already way too late
Cause we've wasted
Every chance as the romance dies
We are the bloom that's dying in your eyes

Some people sped their lives in search for answers
In someone else's eyes
Some people fear theyre gonna fade away
So they live just to remind

Now you can run and you can hide
This aint no place for wasting time
I dont think I can give you what you need tonight

Its already way too late
Cause we're wasted
And down some strange road
I never thought I'd find myself with you

Digging a grave for the hearts we break
And lost time
You go your way and I'll go my own
And I'll meet you at the end

Two strangers lost, two strangers found
On the wrong day in soemone else's town
Like a bad moon kiss on the superstitious lips
Of a photograph stolen from the things you burn
Everything lost turns new ahead
Somewhere in time we get it back again
So don't stand beneath my blue sky
And come pray for rain

Its already way too late
Cause we're wasted
And down some strange road
I never thought I'd find myself with you

Digging a grave for the hearts we break
And lost time
You go your way and I'll go my own

You go away
You go away
You go away

07 AGENTS OF THE UNDERGROUND

No longer will we betray ourselves
To carry the weight of the world
Our hearts are alive with the sound
We are the agents of the underground

The beat of the clock and the body realign
Perspective shifts to the right of my mind
Abstraction becomes true direction
We are the sands in the oceans of time

Carnations in a graveyard
Slowly dying all alone
Two lovers underwater weighted
A promise set in stone

Breathe in, breathe out

We are ghosts of modern man
The beat of the clock and the body realign
Waiting for our chance to live again

No longer will we betray ourselves
To carry the weight of the world
Our hearts are alive with the sound
We are the agents of the underground

No longer just an echo
In some lost forgotten song
The possibility of our demise
It keeps us fighting on and on
SO hollow the earth and set this in
Its a revolution now
A secret plan to make a break
To define the love we take

Breathe in, breathe out

We are ghosts of all we had
The beat of the clock and the body realign
But just threw away so easily

No longer will we betray ourselves
To carry the weight of the world
Our hearts are alive with the sound
We are the agents of the underground

The beat of the clock and the body realign
Perspective shifts to the right of my mind
Abstraction becomes true direction
We are the sands in the oceans of time

The beat of the clock and the body realign
We are the sands in the oceans of time
Perspective shifts to the right of my mind
We are the cause of the oceans of time

We have no time
We have no time

No longer will we betray ourselves
To carry the weight of the world
Our hearts are alive with the sound
We are the agents of the underground

We have no time

08 NATION OF THIEVES

Nation, nation, nation of thieves

Veronica spends all day chasing little lines
Penny's got something for the blues behind her eyes

Eddie don't talk too much
He can barely stand the pain
As the camera flickers on and on
With visions of the end

The beautiful and the insane
Waiting for our lucky number
Start a war, gonna liberate this nation of thieves

We like our angels bleeding for the love and the fall
Manipulate reality to understand it all

New abstract suicide
She gets off on a little blow, now
Mind fuck, numb TV show, we're a nation

With a spiritual war in suburbia
Your Jesus wept
Perpetual stimulation baby
These angels never die

The comedown always lasts too long
And the well is always running strong
As we pass the time with chemicals
And the voices in my mind

And now I see you walk down these streets like some kind of zombie Jesus
Flashing that big old american hole in your heart
And your prescriptions getting low and your cash flow's getting lower
Feed the flesh, kill the mind and sink the heart
Your spirit is just a chemical
And the payment is due on the debts you owe
On the debts that you owe

With a spiritual war in suburbia
Your Jesus wept
Perpetual stimulation baby
These angels never die

The comedown always lasts too long
And the well is always running strong
As we pass the time with chemicals
And the voices in my mind

Nation of thieves

09 JACK KNIFE

Somebody tell me how to get to Saint Maria
She's something gonna save my soul

She gives it to me
She don't care what I done wrong
As the sun begins to set
I know that can't make it on my own

 No longer grounded I retreat to my demise
Im running strong with these love sick eyes
And the voodoo that you bring is chasing me through my dreams
You got me looking over my shoulder all day long

This aint a love song, this is a car crash
And they're playing, playing my song

So don't come looking for me
I aint the one you want and I won't be around to see
How you get along when you don't get what you want
Little child your eyes broke all your pretty things inside

She got something gonna save me soul

She's got black angels to carry me away
So take me away

So don't come looking for me
I aint the one you want and I won't be around to see
How you get along when you don't get what you want
Little child your eyes broke all your pretty things inside

10 DEAD SPACES

These lines on my face give up the time
This blood writhing through my veins is life like wine
Drink to our last kiss and write a book about the mess
A life in vulgar poetry, a testament in rhyme

Incinerate while we can

So now I sit alone in the dark
In the house we used to play the part
Empty rooms and photographs shout back in silence
Dead spaces echo an attack
For the love of what we used to both call home

Wave a white flag and count me out
Recognize how sanity would feel
The space between these lines
That I could never quite reveal
In the blink of an eye thats just too short
To suffocate and kill

So now I sit alone in the dark
In the house we used to play the part
Empty rooms and photographs shout back in silence
Dead spaces echo an attack
For the love of what we used to both call home

It's been two weeks without a sign of anyone
I left the world behind cause I dont want to believe in love
Anxiety of a future we cannot command
Too broken for the test, too toxic for a stand

So I laid down and lost myself
To things I could not live down
We are the wings of doves
Too broke to fly, to carry on
So I laid down and lost myself
To things I could not live down
We are the wings of doves
Too broke to fly, to carry on
To carry on

So now I sit alone with the dark
In the house we used to play
Empty rooms and photographs in silence
As memories come rushing back
Dead spaces echo an attack
All for the love we left in silence

11 ANDY WARHOL

I never was much good at walking lines
I never learned the right steps to the straight and narrow path
And I regret to say I don't remember faith in anything
So I found my own way with a little help from my friends

You can't write a song
If you've never lost anything youve truly loved
You cant start a fire crying in the rain

Cause we all play a part in history
And we all end up just a memory

Round here its either do or die
No one really wants to know your name
Or cares where you've come from
All the pain you think you know
There's always someone just below
Gettin by just living high the story goes

So light a fire, leave it all behind
Hit the road and lose your mind
Steal a heart and find what you really need

Cause we all play a part in history
Then we all end up just a memory
To someone else we leave behind
Gonna leave this place behind

Don't regret what you never tried
Sing what's left inside
When nothing really matters
You got nothing left to lose
Look to me for something to believe

You can't write a song
If you've never lost anything youve truly loved
You cant start a fire crying in the rain

So light a fire, leave it all behind
Hit the road and lose your mind
Find out what it is you really need

Cause we all play a part in history
Then we all end up just a memory
Cause we all play a part in history
Then we all end up just a memory
