Electric 04:02
I'm electric... The city's alive Unexpected... You know we can't die When you see me...You know i can't wait Gone completely... Before it's too late I never do enough about it Even when I scream and shout it I could never let you know I'm never gonna let it go I think I need a new religion I've got the soul but lack the vision My good intentions let me down Full of fury, now I'm making sounds I'm electric... The world is on fire Unaffected... Asleep on the pyre Comin' for me... I guess it's my fate Gotta get free... Before it's too late I never do enough about it Even when I scream and shout it I could never let you know I'm never gonna let it go I think I need a new religion I've got the soul but lack the vision My good intentions let me down Full of fury, now I'm making sounds Just making sounds Just making sounds Just making sounds I never do enough about it Even when I scream and shout it I could never let you know I'm never gonna let it go I think I need a new religion I've got the soul but lack the vision My good intentions let me down Full of fury, now I'm making sounds

Static 02:57
I saw your hair turn silver in the dim bar light You looked a little older and I felt so wise You struck me as someone who could get high on life But all I want to do is instant gratify I keep you in my pocket baby with a thousand other boys But they are all just static There’s no signal through the noise Signal through the noise Signal through the noise And when we are much older will you hold my hand And ask me when I plan on coming up to bed I don’t know if it’s tenderness or jealousy How can I tell the difference when you’re all I see? I keep you in my pocket baby with a thousand other boys But they are all just static There’s no signal through the noise Signal through the noise Signal through the noise Signal through the noise Signal through the noise Can you hear that sound? You’re drowning me out Can you hear that sound? You’re drowning me out You’re drowning me out You’re drowning me out You’re drowning me out You’re drowning me out

You want to see her in candelabra light The satin skin Supplicant body Still life breathing You want to leave her in pieces on the floor So overcome By your technique She's dumbstruck You want to see her in candelabra light Candelabra light on Her candy colored eyes But you don't even try to please her You don't even try to please her She gets a little bit deeper into life Than you could do She's spiritual She tells the truth You can't help but take advantage of the thoughts Well traveled scenes Wrists in velvet Hotel room keys You want to see her in candelabra light Candelabra light on Her candy colored eyes, oh But you don't try to please her The swelling in your heart is just conceit You've been adhering to your diet of spite You're wasting away And you wrap around her tight But she barely even knows your name See her burning in your mind's eye But she won't even meet your gaze See her spin in the sunlight And you wish the sun would go away You wish the sun would go away You wish the sun would go away

Signals 04:48
Lord, I've been away so long I've been asleep now something's wrong I'm still so tired but I won't quit Cuz can't get away from it I was right you should've known Here in this crowd I've been alone It's second nature first time around While you were lost and I was found. And no one feels the way that I do But I think you might feel it too Cuz when I'm with you I still believe I'm sending signals, can you receive? They can't stop what they just won't see And they don't see when they look at me You and I we can stop this now Just take my hand and I'll show you how Take my hand and I'll show you how Take my hand and I'll show you how Take my hand and I'll show you how Take my hand and I'll show you how

Suspect duality, colours surrounding me, displacing reality I'd send you a postcard. not that I'd get far, just for the memory Not quite enamored, locked in a camera, given to fantasy Lenticular outline, different from both sides, bring me apostasy I'm caught in a landslide, or is it a blood tide, try to remember me Can't breathe in this same crowd, the music is too loud, time is my enemy It's nothing religious, it still seems suspicious, putting me on my knees I'm watching the soundwaves go out like it's last days, can't be how it all seems And everything always moves me I see the end approaching I can feel the changes coming soon The pages keep on turning - too fast for me Subject to strange demands, body's a wasteland, lost in its reverie Engaged in your combat, the struggle leaves me flat, I need you to rescue me These words are a forgery, counterfeit ecstasy, hypnotic sorcery You know I abhor it, can't get nothing for it, lethargic philosophy And everything always moves me I see the end approaching I can feel the changes coming soon The pages keep on turning - too fast for me The pages keep on turning The pages keep on turning

Affliction 03:16
You are prone to afflictions of the circulation system All extremities as bloodless as stone And as cold as the kitchen linoleum in winter When the damned holidays have dragged you home When your parents die and you come back from the city You will peel up the edges and find hardwood underneath And you'll scrape and plane 'til you don't know your own name And you'll see your reflection in the ground beneath your feet What's your affliction? What is your affliction? What is your affliction? What is your affliction? What is your affliction? If you follow the tracks of your thoughts to the ending What will happen to your heart when the train leaves the rails? Will you tear up the wreckage and listen for voices, Start pulling out the people who lived to tell? Or would you keep on walking, leave the brokenness behind you? Would each fresh burst of flame soothe the aching in your back? And your poor cold blood and your disembodied head And your knock-kneed breathing and your little heart attacks What's your affliction? What is your affliction? What is your affliction? What is your affliction? What is your affliction?

It's six o'clock and the neighbors won't stop, there's someone at the door The reason he's got is something he's not and now he's lying on the floor If he takes a look at the things that I took he'll send me climbing up the wall While he wanders around all the patterns I found until he's looking very small... very small I wonder about if the sky's getting out when the windows open wide But keep it unsaid by the voice in my head while I join in for the ride If I look around for the source of the sound I'll get caught up in my mind But it can't be done by a pillow or gun or the things you left behind... left behind There's never a time or a reason or rhyme to revisit yesterday If I try to go back the future might crack until I find another way If they keep asking me they think they can see but it always turns out wrong the nature of sound is a rhythm I found, a beat looking for a song... for a song

Say Goodbye 04:08
You should have told me right from the start You never told me you came for my heart How could a thing like this ever be Once I was blind but now I can see Say goodbye Say goodbye I could have told you you'd fail from the start I never told you you can't break my heart Now you'll find out, yeah, now you can see The things that I want and you'll never be Say goodbye Say goodbye It's too late to turn back now; there's nothing there anyhow There's no more for me to say; now you should go away Say goodbye Say goodbye

Prize 03:41
Oh, you can’t admit there’s something more I know that you've tried, the things that you hide But the trail of tears leads back to you And I, I don’t just care about the sounds The words that you share show there’s nothing there But in the end the truth will come ‘round I, I never know just where you are I’m always alone until I’m at home And home is anywhere, everywhere else The ins and the outs of deception The world that you’ve built out of lies We’re mislead by old preconceptions And misread by prejudiced eyes Now, there’s nothing else that you can do I’ve said it before, I’ll say it no more It’s your turn now to burn to the ground We, we don’t just need to make it right There’s a price to be paid, a reckoning made And your prize at the end of a gun The ins and the outs of deception The world that you’ve built out of lies We’re mislead by old preconceptions And misread by prejudiced eyes The ins and the outs of deception The worlds that we build out of lies You may think that you’re the exception But you’ll still collect on your prize

Slow 03:49
Oh well, you know it's up to you Sugar, think what we could do Can I have a question? I'll make you smile, smile, smile, smile, smile Sugar, sugar, you're up to my lips Licking over everything I miss And I got no reason Just a slow, slow, slow, slow suck Feeling bad, Feeling good Feeling like I never could Lick, lick, lick and suck, suck, suck I want it slow, slow, slow, slow Sugar, sugar, you're up to my lips Place my head upon your hips And I got no reason You make me smile, smile, smile, smile Well, what the hell, we're all the same You got what I need, so I don't play no games Sugar, think what we could do I'll make you smile, smile, smile, smile through Got the rush, I don't feel no shame On top of me, you know, while I don't know your name And I got no reason Just a slow, slow, slow, slow, suck
